Lovely photos, I love that place as well. See any native Blueberries?
Hi ShrubQueen. I did! I wasn't sure if they were blueberries or ironwood berries or whatever my mom showed me in her yard. In any case, I did not eat them but admired their color and beauty!
Well, I want to make a Florida Blueberry PIe.Someday!
Looks like a fun relaxing day.
It was a great way to spend some time. And so close by. Thank you!
Thank you for the story! Yes with kids —we all must be so careful.

There is something new and strange brewing in Seattle.
It's a calling that never ends: Anita Arora's passion for the arts found her exploring far beyond her early roots in classical dance and stage into fine arts, eventually leading to a degree in Music Industry Management. Having spent a whirlwind childhood calling two continents home, it was then that she decided it was time to re-escape her birthplace of London and return Stateside where she's been firmly rooted ever since.
Being a sociology junkie and fan of the obscure, Anita has always been attracted to the academic yet extremely human nature of scientific studies. In particular, as they relate to the more extreme inner workings of the human mind and body both as they connect to society and in themselves as a dynamic, mysterious machine.
Overwhelmed by a drive to translate the world and examine the profound connections that never cease to plague her, Anita found three-dimensional art to work in ways that other mediums simply could not. It is through these means that Anita finds great satisfaction in creating unconventional, one-of-a-kind shadow box pieces. She claims this is derived from a healthy obsession with human anatomy, antique medical texts, found objects and a hyper-analytical mind.

Marco Silva confessed was a "actually bad afternoon" for Everton as he became the first Premier Leaguemanager to yield 6 objectives in a house match with 3 various clubs.
Although the Toffees took the lead through Theo Walcott in the 21st minute, Spurs soon turned things around and ultimately went out comprehensive winners, securing a 6-2 triumph on Sunday.
"Actually bad afternoon for us, really bad result for us, for our fans," he stated. "We have to understand why and we will realise for sure.
"We began well the match, it began actually well balanced. We understand how they are strong in counter-attack and it began like we prepared it and we scored early.
"After we made the first mistake during the match when they equalised, the game changed completely.
"We lost many things in our behaviour and our organisation and in this level we can refrain from doing that.
"At half-time we changed something in our tactical behaviour. I told them we can not concede any more due to the fact that we will score again and first two minutes of second half we conceded once again.
Despite signing centre-backs Yerry Mina and Kurt Zouma in the summer season, Everton have struggled defensively all season and are now without a clean sheet in their last 5 Premier League matches.
The result left the Toffees in 11th put on 24 points as they prepare to face Burnley, Brighton and Leicester City over the busy joyful period.


The bredzon is the traditional male attire. The armaillis (cattle farmers) wear a Sunday bredzon, a capet (small hat), an attractive loyi (a leather bag carried slung over the shoulder containing salt for the cows) and they carry a walking stick.
The armailli is seen at every solemn occasion, at all the festivities. This is his home. He's at home in the cowshed, in the market, and at midnight mass. The brezdon is the supreme symbol of his belonging to Gruyère and to the farming community. From being once merely his working clothes, the bredzon has become the symbol of a people proud of their origins on the land. The armaillis' costume was first seen on a painting, dated 1840, of the "poya" (the ascent with the herd to the mountain pastures). Since then, the bredzon is without any doubt the only regional costume to have been worn throughout all the intervening years. But if it has become a symbol of Gruyère, it is not necessarily thanks to the farmers. It has always been worn by rural families who were not all that proud of what they thought of as working garb. And it was the middle classes in the 1920s who enhanced its prestige by starting to wear it on Sundays to go to mass, thereby demonstrating its importance. The start of what has now become a total reinstatement. And the textile shop in Bulle, Biner-Pinaton, will not contradict that, they confirm that there is still a strong demand for it, particularly amongst agricultural workers and musicians.


text:
A.   So I am sorry that I forgot about it.  Maybe it would have
helped the case of the defence earlier.
Q.   It may not.
A.   Or it may not.
Q.   Professor van Pelt, would you tell the court where you
first saw this document?
A.   This document is in the Auschwitz archive.
Q.   And it appears to be bound into a volume?
A.   They are normally in -- actually I do not know the
Hauszufugun it is one of first files.  They are all in
boxes.  What happens is that the first part of the
archive, which is where I started working, which was
actually boxes 1, 2 and 3, only deals with these kind of
procedural matters.  They do not deal with design at all.
I think generally they are in folders.
Q.   But you agree that this particular one appears to have
been part of a bound volume.  Was it shown to you in this
form or was it shown to you as a loose document?
A.   I went through these files.  I do not remember at all.
I know there are at a certain moment some loose pages in
these things but in general they are bound.  It does not
seem to be a Moscow document, if I have to look at it, but
I am not sure even.  It could be a copy of it in the
Moscow document because obviously this was a document
which was produced in many copies.
Q.   It has been produced in many copies?
A.   Because it was a general rule, so quite often you find
many copies of the same document.
Q.   So you are not certain in your own mind whether this
document actually comes from Moscow or from the Auschwitz
state archives.
A.   This is the first thing I have heard about this document
now it comes up, is right now I have seen it ten years
ago.  I made a copy.  It is somewhere in my big files, on
procedures in the architectural office.
Q.   Please accept my assurance. I am not trying to catch you
out on this document.  I am trying to do the enquiry now
that I would have done over the last few months if I had
had this document earlier.
MR JUSTICE GRAY:  As to its authenticity?
MR IRVING:  As to its authenticity, my Lord, yes.  This is the
only means I have to test its integrity.
MR JUSTICE GRAY:  I think that is fair enough.
MR IRVING:  Professor, you will see that the document to me is
odd in one respect, that it appears to have no printed
heading.  All the other documents we have seen, I think I
am right in saying, have a printed heading saying
Auschwitz Zentralbauleitung and so on, Auschwitz
konzentrationsanlage, whatever.  This appears to be just a
blank sheet of paper.
A.   But all hauszufugungen, all the internal communication in
the camp, and that is also stuff that is coming down for
the kommandantur.  So, when Rudolf Hirst, for example,
creates a canteen for the camp, all of that stuff also
comes down to the office.  None of these have a heading.
They all have exactly the same heading as you see, that it
says hauszufugungen number, which rule, a house rule or a
house order, whatever like that, with a number but never
on letter head.
Q.   If you had seen the whole file of course, you could have
satisfied yourself that there was a No. 107 before this
and another 109 after it and so on.  You could have tested
it, whether it was orphaned or whether it was part of a
series, could you not?
A.   I could have, yes.  I saw the whole file but I did not do
that test at the time.
Q.   We are not informed as to that.  Is the signature at the
bottom of the SS Sturmbanfuhrer?  Does that look like the
signatures you are familiar with?
A.   This is Bischoff's signature, yes.
Q.   There are no other authenticity marks on it in any way,
are there? There are no rubber stamps or initials or any
other kind of things that we have seen?
A.   No.  You would never have a rubber stamp on any of these
internal hauszufugungen.
Q.   Would they also lack any address list of people they are
going to?
A.   No, they do not have that.  They just appear like this in
the file.
Q.   Yes.  My Lord, I could comment on the registration number
at the top, but I am not going to because I can really say
nothing about the integrity of this document apart from
what I have done.
MR JUSTICE GRAY:  I can see you are confronted with a bit of a
difficulty because of its late production.
MR IRVING:  I am prepared to address the document as though it
was genuine and just look at the content.
A.   My Lord, this one maybe I can add to the heading on top
because the secretary.
MR JUSTICE GRAY:  Authenticating it?
A.   Yes.  The secretary in the Zentralbauleitung in 1943 was a
certain Eugenie Schulhof, so it seems to be that indeed
the S C H U L would be -- that indeed she was a secretary
at the office at the time.
MR JUSTICE GRAY:  Yes.  Mr Irving will probably say well, if
anyone was creating this document years afterwards,
they might have worked that one out.
MR IRVING:  My Lord, forgers have a desire often to be caught
out and they do not do the homework.  That is my
experience.  This is what puzzled us about that cremation
capacity document that they picked on initials that are
only on that document and not on any other document in the
entire record.  But to revert to this document, I draw
your attention, Professor, to the third full paragraph,
beginning with the word in English "furthermore"?
Q.   Let us read out possibly the first two paragraphs:
"You are reminded once more of internal
instruction No. 35 of 19th June 1942 -- ", which we do not
have, Professor, do we, before the court, so we do not
know what that was.   "As is clear from this internal
instruction, Untersturmfuhrer Dejaco is personally
responsible for ensuring that all incoming and outgoing
plans are registered according to the rules in a book that
is to be especially set aside for this purpose, and that
loans of such plans (that is an interpolation by the
translator) are signed for with the personal signature of
the person who has asked for them".
This is indicative, is it not, Professor, of the
pernickety bookkeeping that the Germans went in for with
their documents, that things were logged in and logged
out, is that not true?
Q.   "Furthermore", it continues in the next paragraph, which
is the important one on which no doubt learned counsel
relies, "it must be pointed out that we are concerned here
with works that are connected with the war economy and to
be kept secret".  The words:  "Connected with the war
economy and to be kept secret" are underlined in the
original.  "In particular, plans for the crematoria are to
be kept under the strictest surveillance.  No plans are to
be handed out to the individual installation groups, etc.
In connection with the works to be carried out, the
responsible construction leader - I suppose that be a
foreman - has to give instructions to the corresponding
prisoner unit on the spot.  I take it as read that all the
original plans are to be kept under lock and key by the
leader of the Planning Department".  Does Mr Rampton wish
me to read out any more, or is that sufficient?
MR RAMPTON:  Could you just finish the paragraph?
MR IRVING:  "Attention is particularly drawn to DV 91", that is
"Dienstvorschrifft", is it not?
Q.   In other words, Service Regulation No. 91, confidential
Matters.  "It is further taken as read that in cases of
leave or inability to carry out duties, the leader of the
Planning Department hands over the plan room in accordance
with regulations to an SS colleague".
We can take it from this therefore, can we not
Professor, that they were anxious that the drawings of the
kind you have been showing us this morning should not be
shown to unauthorized persons?
Q.   In fact, it should not be shown to anybody at all who had
no need to know?
A.   No.  In fact, even people who had need to know, it seemed
to be that they were unwilling to -- that normally, of
course, in a building site, plans and blueprints are
readily available to the people who are actually making
it, and in this case, they even had difficulty to do
that.  They use here that the only person who can really
instruct these people, they cannot actually leave the plan
there, but there must be a "Baufuhrer" and from the word
"Baufuhrer", it is very clear that this is not an inmate,
or must be a German, civilian or German SS men, because
the designation Fuhrer was always reserved in this case
for a non-inmate.  They would have used for inmate always
something like Alterstorser or some kind of designation
like that.
Q.   We are in agreement that this is a security measure
designed to keep these plans that you have been showing us
today, that kind of thing, away from prying eyes?
Q.   Can you see no harmless reason for such a regulation?
A.   A harmless reason?
A.   I presume there is a general harmless -- if we are talking
about patents, I could imagine that companies do the same
thing with patents.  But in this case I do not think we
deal really with patent information.  So I cannot see what
the problem would be.  It is remarkable that crematoria
seem to be designated here for a particular kind of
security, let us call it internal security classification.
Q.   They are not being designated as the only ones needing
security, are they?  They are just to enhance security,
shall we say?
A.   Yes.  It says: "In besonders, in der Plane," so in
particular, yes.
Q.   Is there any kind of security classification on this
document itself?
A.   There are never on any "Hauszufugen"; this is going to be
available to everyone.
Q.   Yes, but there is no security classification on this
document?
Q.   So it could have been shown to anyone, could it not, then?
A.   Yes.  I mean anyone who got a copy of this.
MR JUSTICE GRAY:  Have you seen any other similar house order
on any other topic in connection with Auschwitz?
A.   No.  I remember this one.  One of the reasons is that this
one came up.  I am trying to recall the first time I saw
it. This was in the Ertl and Dejaco trial, and it came up
because one of the people who had been in the Bauleitung,
who was an inmate who was drawing there, actually went
into some detail about the procedure of actually getting a
blueprint and saying this was a proof of the criminal
intentions, and then this document was produced.  I do not
know what the court in the end did with this document.
But I remember the testimony of the particular -- I think
it was an inmate named Plas Kuhrer.
MR IRVING:  Did anything in particular happen in Auschwitz one
or two days before this document that you are familiar
with, or in the neighbourhood?  I will give you a clue,
air raids?
A.   No, there were no air raids in 1943.
Q.   Yes, there were.  Do you agree that there was an air raid
on the Buhne plant on approximately 5th or 3rd May 1943?
A.   1944.
Q.   1943.  Well, if there is a dispute, obviously --?
MR JUSTICE GRAY:  The Buhne plant at Auschwitz?
MR IRVING:  That is right, the synthetic plant being erected.
A.   The first air raid, so far as I know, happened in the
Spring of 1944.
Q.   We will check that later on perhaps.  I have only two more
questions on this document, my Lord, and this is this.  Do
you agree that the Germans had reasons to be ashamed of
what was going on in this building, shall we say, whatever it was?
A.   No.  They certainly had reason to be ashamed of the
genocidal use of the buildings, but I mean crematoria,
there is no -- you see, the date is 5th May 1943.  By that
time, these buildings have all been committed to genocidal
use.  I presume and I am speculating now, and I do not
know if you are interested in my speculation, my Lord.

The list of big banks liking gold continues to get bigger. Even the biggest naysayers are favoring the yellow metal now. This could be great for gold prices.
Its opinion changing on the yellow precious metal shouldn't be disregarded at all.
Mind you, the list of big banks turning bullish on gold continues to grow.
TD Securities—an investment bank under major Canadian bank Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE:TD)—is bullish on gold prices going into 2019.
Any meaningful rally is likely a story for late 2019…the US dollar's strength relative to G10 and EM currencies is likely to remain a significant headwind that will suppress positioning for gold bugs. We expect prices to be well contained, before trending into the $1,300s in the latter part of 2019.
Why Should You Watch the Big Banks?
Don't forget that big banks have a lot of influence on institutional investors. These banks themselves manage a lot of money too.
As they turn bullish, it's possible that those with money start to pay attention to gold. The yellow precious metal has been relatively ignored over the past few years.
With this, even if a small sum of money is allocated toward the yellow precious metal, we could see gold prices soaring immensely very quickly.
Remember, the gold market is small, and you really don't need a lot of money coming in for gold prices to go higher.
Dear reader, this is a bold claim but I will make it: the gold market in the next five years could be a lot different than the market in the last five years. We could see gold prices soaring.
However, I don't think the real opportunity would be in just owning gold bullion.
Gold mining stocks could be where investors make killer profits.
Year-to-date, as gold prices have come down 6.58%, mining stock have dropped 16.82%. For every one-percent decline in gold prices, mining stocks fell 2.56%.
If you look at the long-term chart, the decline in gold mining stock prices has been much more severe than the decline in gold prices.
In case there's an upside, I expect mining shares to outperform gold prices on the upside. I see them selling for pennies on the dollar relative to yellow precious metal prices. They are ignored for all the wrong reasons.

Thunderbirds Are Go(ing cheap)
If like me you've spent several months vacillating over whether to purchase a copy of Egmont's Thunderbirds Comic Collection, visiting the nearest branch of The Works may alleviate your indecision. Today I had a gander around one of their shops, which was heavily promoting an 'everything must go' sale in the window. I noticed a pile of the title in question, each of which was stickered with a price of £3.99. I swiftly grabbed one, headed to the till and was delighted to find that it had been further reduced in the sale to £2.00. FAB!

Big Hat, Big Head, Nice Page
Lew Stringer has included in his latest post (focusing on the 1970 Christmas edition of TV Comic) a very nice Texas Ted page by Frank McDiarmid. I know very little about the strip, but from this example it seems that Ted is TV Comic's version of The Dandy's Desperate Dan.

Mustapha Great Christmas!
Here's our ever-helpful millionaire mate assisting Santa (but mainly his reindeer) by means of a spot of middle-eastern magic as the portly fellow with the long beard does his 1980 tour of the globe. Nice work by Robert Nixon. Cheeky (Weekly) still gets a cover mention, in the scroll at the top.
The Ads – 'Multi-Comic' Ads
IPC, publishers of Cheeky Weekly, were on occasion so keen to broaden the circulations of Cheeky Weekly's companion titles that they couldn't resist cramming more than one comic into s single ad. Let's have a look the promotions of this type which appeared in the pages of the toothy funster's comic...
The first such sales-boosting drive appeared in Cheeky Weekly dated 03 December 1977, wherein our grinning pal's ugly fizzog was seen looming above a page consisting of what we must assume IPC felt were among the strongest representatives from three of their other titles; Krazy (the comic which spawned the Cheeky phenomenon and where the toothy funster was concurrently appearing), Whoopee! (the paper that would offer refuge to the ragged band of Cheeky Weekly survivors who emerged from the wreck of the toothy funster's title when it foundered in February 1980) and Whizzer and Chips (IPC's famous '2-comics-in-one'; a gimmick that would later be shamelessly appropriated by Cheeky Weeklyitself). It's curious that IPC didn't include in this ad their longest- running humour/adventure comic of the period, Buster. Maybe it was felt that Buster wasn't in need of any additional marketing at the time, and the fact that the title not only outlived all the comics featured in this ad, but survived to the year 2000 rather bears out this opinion. Buster also remained aloof from 1979's Star Guest promotion.
Unlike the rest of the ads we'll be examining here, the above publicity material wasn't linked to any particular promotional drive, it seems it was just designed to expose Cheeky Weekly readers to the fun to be had in some of the other IPC product lined up alongside their favourite title on the newsagents counter.
In the issue dated 07 January 1978 the same three comics got a further boost as a new ad alerted readers to the commencement of cut-out Spotter Books in those titles. Cheeky Weekly had of course commenced its own Spotter Book of Fun that week. The Whizzer and Chips Spotter Book of Wheels sounds extremely tedious, but I suppose it ties in with that comic's Whizz Wheels character.
A week later the Spotter Book promotion, and the 3 other participating titles, got another mention presumably as a reminder to any kids who last week purchased an extra title or two with the intention of completing extra cut-out books. Added to the already established scheme is additional inducement to keep purchasing, in the form a a teaser for a 'Great Competition' which is 'coming soon'. Quite which comics this applies to is not made clear.
A fortnight later the same comics, now styled 'The Funtastic Four' (with Buster again conspicuously absent from the line-up), were given a further promotional push to coincide with the final instalments of the booklets. The same characters are given prominence in the blurb as were in the 03 December 1977 ad. Oddly crude dummy renditions of the comic covers are on display.
In the 24 June 1978 issue was an ad encompassing no less than 5 titles - Buster (surprise!), Whizzer and Chips (which had of course by this time absorbed Krazy), Cheeky Weekly, Mickey Mouse and Whoopee!. The cause of this comic cavalcade was the imminent appearance of condensed versions of these titles within their companions in a promotion that would rotate across the participating comics over a four-week period.
Cheeky directed readers towards the forthcoming Mini-Comics schedule in the following week's issue.
Anyone left in suspense by the cryptic reference to the impending competition in the 14 January comic were no doubt relieved to read the announcement of the 5 Papers Competition in Cheeky Weekly dated 15 July 1978.
Later in the same issue was another schedule of upcoming mini comics, once again introduced by the toothy funster.
By the 26 August 1978 issue Buster had resumed its standoffish attitude and was absent from the titles participating in the forthcoming toy competitions and simultaneous cut-out-and-keep promotion.
A variation on the same ad, featuring a reversed masked hero, appeared 7 days later. In addition to publicising the commencement of the cut-out games, the ad reminded readers that Whoopee was that week running the first of the four toy competitions. Lone Ranger toys were on offer, but the TV Western boom of the 50s and 60s was long-forgotten by this time, so the decision to market a range of action figures based on the masked man and his Native American pal at this particular juncture is a bit puzzling.
Whizzer and Chips was the location of the toy competition the following week. The lucky winners of the 10 star prizes would each receive a Clash of the Robots game.

It seems there was a space that needed filling in Cheeky Weekly 7 days later as an ad promoting our grinning pal's comic together with Whizzer and Chips and Whoopee (oddly Mickey Mouse, the location of that week's toy competition, wasn't mentioned) found itself squeezed into page 31 alongside the concluding element of Saturday, the instructions for the Crack-A-Joke Game and a stamp-collecting ad (please tell your parents).
IPC were at this time clearly convinced of the effectiveness of the cut-out-and-keep marketing ploy, as little time seemed to elapse without readers being encouraged to cannibalise their reading matter. Thus it's little surprise to find that as 1979 dawned another multi-comic ad turned up in Cheeky Weekly (dated 06 January), heralding further upcoming scissor-paste-and-cardboard action in the big 3 humour titles. Buster yet again exempts itself, as does Mickey Mouse.
As we've come to expect, the message was reinforced 7 days later to coincide with the commencement of the promotions.
Friends of Cheeky who were so inclined would have been sharpening their scissors on learning, in the comic dated 31 March 1979, that '3 Super Pull-Outs' with a 'pop' theme were due to commence the following week, one in each of the usual 3 titles. Sweeny Toddler and the Bumpkin kids are again on hand.to assist with the publicity drive.
The usual rehash of the initial ad appeared the following issue....
...and a somewhat more radical refashioning, in which the Sweeny/Bumpkin collaboration was replaced with a generic popster who looks to me to have sprung from the pen of Arthur Martin, was printed in the following edition...
Buster (which had absorbed Monster Fun since it last participated in a multi-title promotion) made a surprise reappearance (along with Mickey Mouse) in the multi-comic ad in Cheeky Weekly dated 21 April 1979, announcing that sachets of milkshake would be given free in each of the featured titles over coming weeks. And - what a surprise - a cut-out feature would commence in each drink-powder-bearing edition!
The follow-up ad in the next edition was expanded to fill a whole page.
By 05 May 1979, the milkshake boat had sailed as far as Buster was concerned so it's no surprise that young master Capp's title is absent from another full-page follow-up ad in which Sweeny and the junior Bumpkins have been replaced by two representatives of the target audience.
By the third week of the Two Shakes promotion, the reinforcement ad was reduced to a half page since there were only 3 comics still to provide thirsty comic consumers with flavoured powder for their lactic libations. The same two readers' representatives were featured.
It's a little surprising that IPC chose to launch a new humour/adventure comic at this time - Jackpot – in competition with their own milkshake and cut-out promotion running across more established titles.
The next 'multi-comic' ad didn't strictly relate to comics – as Christmas 1979 drew thrillingly close, many Cheeky Weekly readers will no doubt have left their favourite reading material conspicuously open at page 8 of the 15 December comic, in the hope of finding one or more of IPC's humour annuals under the tree on the 25th.
Page 27 of the same issue carried news of yet another imminent competition running across the familiar 5 humour titles (Jackpot is absent).
This was to be the last multi-comic ad in Cheeky Weekly which, despite participating in all the cross-comic promotions detailed above, evidently failed to establish satisfactory circulation figures and came to an end just a few weeks later with the issue cover-dated 02 February 1980.

Whizzer and Chips - The Cheeky Raids part 6
New readers start here... After Cheeky Weekly folded and was incorporated into Whoopee as of February 1980 six strips that had originated in the toothy funster's title survived the merge and continued to appear in the amalgamated comic. Whoopee itself foundered in March 1985 and was merged into Whizzer and Chips. Three of the surviving Cheeky Weekly strips successfully negotiated this second merge and went on to appear in the newly combined publication, rather inelegantly titled 'Whizzer and Chips now including Whoopee'. The survivors were Mustapha Million, Calculator Kid and (appearing only twice) Stage School. Cheeky continued to appear, but as a member of The Krazy Gang, who had moved into W&C when Krazy, the comic in which the Gang originated, expired in April 1978.
Whizzer and Chips had a long tradition of sending characters from the Chips section into Whizzer and vice versa. These cross-comic forays were known as 'raids'. In this series of posts I'm chronicling the raids involving the ex-Cheeky Weekly characters who made the transition into Whizzer and Chips, all of whom were allocated to the Chips section. For the purposes of this series, although this particular manifestation of the toothy funster didn't directly descend from Cheeky Weekly, I'm including Cheeky's Krazy Gang appearances as those of an 'ex-Cheeky Weekly character'.
A week after the issue in which ex-Cheeky Weekly characters suffered and executed raids, Calculator Kid fell victim to Whizz-Kid intrusion. See if you can spot the uninvited guests, then scroll down for the official announcement.

This was clearly a revenge mission, and sees the ex-Cheeky Weekly characters fall slightly behind as their raids now total 3, while the 'rest' have clocked up 4 incursions into the pages of our Cheeky-related pals.

The Cut-Out Features – Skateboard Snap
5 issues after the concluding instalment of the Cheeky Diary 1978, the imminent commencement of another cut-out feature was announced...
Cheeky Weekly 28 January 1978
Unlike most cut-out features of the period, which involved collecting instalments of a game over a few weeks, this game was complete within the Skateboard issue, occupying the centre spread and back cover in order that the cards could be printed in colour. The game thus usurped Creepy Sleepy Tale's centre-page location but in the manner of CST, Skateboard Snap was framed by Cheeky's Wednesday visit to babysit Burpo.
Art: Frank McDiarmid
Surprisingly, the members of Cheeky Weekly's very own intrepid Skateboard Squad weren't depicted on the cards demonstrating their prowess. Instead, a selection of generic 'boarders were put through their paces.

Also lost to posterity – readers who chose to remove the Skateboard Snap elements from their comic would be depriving future generations of
Wednesday (and the snap game instructions!)

Cheeky Weekly Star Guests in Whoopee! (part 7)
As IPC's 1979 Star Guest promotion reaches its 14th week (in participating comics cover-dated 30 June 1979), our attention turns once again to Whoopee which is hosting visitors from the toothy funster's title on even-numbered weeks of the sales drive. This time our affluent Arab chum Mustapha Million has been recruited to make a sales-boosting trip into Whoopee's pages. This is the second occasion on which Mustapha has been called upon to represent Cheeky Weekly as a Star Guest, the first time being in the promotion's 9th week over in Whizzer and Chips.
Mustapha's latest Star Guest outing sees his pal (and sufferer from Cheeky Weekly Inconsistent Hair Colour Syndrome) Jimmy embroil our moneyed mate in a boating-pond brouhaha. Thankfully, the loaded lad soon has everyone happy again, and the strip finishes with an exultant utterance of the name of the host comic in an attempt to subliminally engender sympathetic feelings towards the feature among its readership.

Many thanks to Irmantas for this scan
This Star Guest page, which was new and never appeared in Cheeky Weekly, is drawn by Joe McCaffrey, who had taken over the Cheeky Weekly artwork duties on Mustapha from Reg Parlett in February 1979.
Any Whoopee readers sufficiently taken with the antics of our prosperous pal to immediately subscribe to the toothy funster's title would have been delighted to find that Mustapha appeared in the same week's edition of Cheeky Weekly (although it was to be his final time within the pages of Cheeky Weekly's Mystery Comic section) and all subsequent issues of Cheeky's comic. After Cheeky Weekly folded, Mustapha transferred into Whoopee itself, and later into Whizzer and Chips.

Cheeky Weekly cover date 30 June 1979
Swiftly following bandage badinage with Bump-Bump Bernie, our toothy pal has his 19th front cover encounter with Manhole Man (in what is the final Cheeky's Week...Sunday cover strip - more on that later).
Dick Millington takes up the Cheeky's Week pen from Frank McDiarmid as Sunday continues on page 2, where the toothy funster informs readers that he's looking forward to Saturday, the occasion of the Vicar's countryside ramble.
Despite the mounting excitement over the forthcoming rural excursion, Cheeky makes sure he's home and in front of the TV in time to watch the latest episode of 6 Million Dollar Gran. This week our favourite aged automaton enters a modern-day jousting contest. The reference to the synthetic senior citizen's 'bionic wrist muscles' as Gran parries her opponent's mighty sword stroke demonstrates the writer has again forgotten that Gran is a robot, as was clearly established in the first issue.

On Monday the forthcoming ramble is still preoccupying the youth of Krazy Town, and if you've ever wondered what Dick Millington's version of Calculator Kid would look like, direct your eyes to the final panel...
Art: Dick Millington
This week's Star Guest, on page 11, is Chelsmsditch's rival to Gran, Supermum, paying a visit from Whoopee.
On Wednesday Gunga Jim provides Cheeky with this week's Mystery Comic, retrieving the fabled funny paper from within his turban. In the latest edition we learn what befalls the unwise tax officials who decide to pursue the moolah owed by Des' disastrous family.
Art: Mike Lacey
There's a full complement of Mystery Comic features this week (although Elephant On The Run has been reduced to a single page due to the presence of an ad for The Stickits), which is pleasing since this is the final issue to feature the Mystery Comic as a conceptual grouping of strips in the centre pages. Let's enjoy the episode of Why, Dad,Why? given the honour of bringing this last edition of the perplexing publication to a conclusion.
Art: John Geering
Returning to Cheeky's Week on Thursday, there's evidence of adjustment to the final panel, wherein a Frank McDiarmid rendition of the toothy funster has been substituted for Dick Millington's art. The spectacle of Uncle Hamish travelling at high velocity in the penultimate frame leads me to suspect the original final panel contained the intro to Speed Squad, who are absent this week, possibly bumped by an advert.
Pages 26 and 27 are host to the final instalment of Menace of The Alpha Man. The masked marauder's true identity is revealed, but Cheeky Weekly readers who submitted entries for the associated competition following the final clue in the comic dated 16 June 1979 will have to wait until the winners are named 'in a few weeks'.
Cheeky's message on the Chit-Chat page carries the first intimation of changes in the offing...
...and the toothy funster and slimy sidekick further tantalise readers on page 29...
Saturday's much-anticipated ramble is enjoyed by all, and after the exertion Cheeky is in need of a sustaining plate of his mum's finest fish and chips. Snail, ever conscious of comic sales, take the opportunity to raise the excitement regarding next week's comic.
The Burpo Special, whose subject this week is substandard sleuth Sherlock, brings the comic to a conclusion, and also closes another chapter in Cheeky Weekly's history as the comic prepares to undergo another revamp next week.
Frank McDiarmid provides only the cover strip this time, with Dick Millington delivering 8 Cheeky's Week elements and Mike Lacey furnishing the Burpo Special. Clearing space for the forthcoming changes, the following strips come to an end this week as mentioned above;
Cheeky's Week...Sunday
Menace of the Alpha Man
The Burpo Special
...and the Mystery Comic section also concludes, although all the strips that had been contained within its pages will continue, freed from being grouped about the centre of the comic.
See you back here next issue for our first sampling of Cheeky Weekly's 'New Look'!

The Best Of Whizzer and Chips Annual
Since reading about Egmont's new The Best Of Whizzer and Chips Annual on Lew Stringer's blog I have been trying to track down a copy. There's no Sainsburys on my local high street, so my first trip was to the nearest store which, I was disappointed to discover, has no book section so my expedition was fruitless. Today I headed out to Crayford.
I was soon hurrying through the portals of the superstore in question. Targetting the book section at the back of the shop it wasn't long before I spotted a stack of TBOWACAs in the children's area. Further investigation revealed another stack on the 'Book Charts' shelves, where TBOWACA occupied 29th position and companion publication, the less-than-snazzily-titled The Best of 70s Girls' Comics Annual, nestled next door at number 30. Both are priced at £7.99 on the back cover but cost £3.99 as per the sticker on their front covers.
I bought a copy of each to support the project in the hope that we may see Egmont produce some more gems from their Classic Comics archive.
A quick glance at the books looks promising - the paper quality is much better than some of the original annuals, and there is colour of some kind (either full or spot) on every page of TBOWACA. The pages are tinged with yellow, which is presumably an effect added to enhance nostalgic feelings among the readership, a result that I quite liked.
I wondered whether there might be some Cheeky-related strips in the W&C annual. There aren't, but the Tiny Tycoon 2-pager commencing on page 30 looks to me to be the work of Frank McDiarmid ghosting Tom Williams. There's a slightly jarring moment on the 'welcome' page which says 'We hope you have fun with the Chip-ites and Whizzer-kids'!
I'm very pleased with these books and looking forward to settling down for a good read. Egmont have done justice to the strips and I'm very much hoping that this is just the first batch of an ongoing series. The Best Of Cheeky Annual next year?
Profile - Farmer Giles
Farmer Giles is of course rhyming slang for a medical condition on which I was going to elaborate, but as I don't want to pile on the agony for any readers suffering the ailment in question I decided I'd just sit on it instead.
In Cheeky's world, Farmer Giles was the purveyor of farmyard fun who first appeared in the 08 July 1978 issue and bowed out in the final edition of the toothy funster's comic, having clocked up appearances in 78 issues.
The first case of the Farmers
Cheeky Weekly 08 July 1978
Art: Frank McDiarmid pencils
Quite why a farmer was wandering the urban landscape of Krazy Town was never explained (although judging by his manure-laden boots, his livestock couldn't be far away), but the affable agrarian dispensed many a stereotypical "oo-aaar" along with his rural repartee.
The occupant of Giles' hat gets his moment in the spotlight
Just 7 weeks after his debut, Giles appeared on the cover of the 26 August 1978 comic, whereon he was depicted in a cornfield. The prominence given to the rustic rascal on the front page may have given readers the impression that abundant agricultural antics were in the offing but in fact other than his front page feature, Farmer Giles was present only on page 2.
Despite being mentioned on several occasions,
Farmer Giles' Dad appeared only once -
Cheeky Weekly 03 November 1979
Our favourite funny farmer returned to the front cover on the 24 February 1979 edition, accompanied by a flock of sheep.
Cheeky Weekly dated 07April 1979 featured the highest number of elements to include our harvesting humourist in a single edition - he turned up on Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Farmyard fun was in evidence during Giles' Burpo Special appearance in the 14 April 1979 issue.
Agricultural antics returned to the front cover of the comic dated 21 April 1979, and yet again on the 16 June and 23 June 1979 editions.
Cheeky and pals spent Saturday on Giles' farm in the 21 July 1979 comic, a trip which concluded with a slap-up farm feed.
Yikky-Boo gets rural
In her post-cinema-usherette career, Ursula was briefly employed on Giles' farm as a scarecrow, but was sacked for scaring the animals and staff as well (11 August 1979). This experience didn't stop Giles creating some scarecrows resembling the frightening-faced-female in the 19 January 1980 edition.
Red rustic raillery
Giles' battered rustic headgear was home to a mouse, who was most frequently depicted when the artwork was pure Frank McDiarmid.
Farmer Giles made a guest appearance in the Skateboard Squad story dated 28 October 1978, and Cheeky's Cut-Out Comedy Catalogue of Farmer Giles Jokes appeared in the 12 January 1980 comic.
Giles was created for Cheeky Weekly and never appeared in Krazy.

New readers start here...After Cheeky Weekly folded and was incorporated into Whoopee as of February 1980 six strips that had originated in the toothy funster's title survived the merge and continued to appear in the amalgamated comic. Whoopee itself foundered in March 1985 and was merged into Whizzer and Chips. Three of the surviving Cheeky Weekly strips successfully negotiated this second merge and went on to appear in the newly combined publication, rather inelegantly titled 'Whizzer and Chips now including Whoopee'. The survivors were Mustapha Million, Calculator Kid and (appearing only twice) Stage School. Cheeky continued to appear, but as a member of The Krazy Gang, who had moved into W&C when Krazy, the comic in which the Gang originated, expired in April 1978.
Well, it had to happen. Two weeks after intrepid Charlie and Calc infiltrated Odd-Ball's story, came the first issue of Whizzer and Chips wherein ex-Cheeky Weekly characters both perpetrated and fell victim to raids.
On the receiving end of a rascally raid was the toothy funster himself, in his role as a member of The Krazy Gang. Can you identify the wily Whizz-Kid interloper? Scroll down for the answer...

...Animalad, sufferer from a peculiar animalady which allowed him to undergo bestial transformations.
The revenge raid was made on Boy Boss. Are you able to identify the courageous ex-Cheeky Weekly star who was called on to perform the heroic deed? Scroll down once again, where all will be revealed...
This was the second time our brave Bedouin buddy Mustapha embarked upon a cross-comic sortie. This issue also saw the second raid to be carried out upon the Krazy Gang (in the post-Whoopee-merge era which is the subject of this series).
The reciprocal raids in this issue of W&C mean the current tally of Ex-Cheeky Weekly raiders vsThe Rest remains a draw, with 3 incursions now chalked up for each team. More raiding fun soon!

This week another two holidaying dancers found us via the website, and it was wonderful to host such lovely and generous dancers, they were very complimentary about the class and the website so of course they had to be wonderful people ;-) . Since SCD is such a small community, despite being a world wide one, it wasn't long until we found friends in common, which is also one of the fun things about this type of activity.
As I predicted last week, although the numbers were exactly the same, the class had a different composition yet again - fewer experienced dancers in this case - so the class did amazingly well to get through a fun, but sometimes challenging programme because getting 3 sets up meant that some sets had more than one beginner ... but everyone surpassed themselves and we got through the whole programme, keeping our cool not just with the aid of the Air Conditioners.
Of course, it never can actually be the same week twice - but holding the same type of dance session, in the same country, city, & venue, on the same day of the week, with the same people running it, it wouldn't be unreasonably to feel a degree of repetition creeping in, despite the weekly variation in the dance programme. Whether we should congratulate ourselves on it or not (I actually think we should, variety is definitely the spice of life, at least up to a point) there never does seem to be a week that turns out to be identical to the week before.
More 'goodbyes' as we bless the Air Conditioning!
'It was all change again last Tuesday as several of our regulars joined us for their last class before flying home for the summer - and we welcomed back friends who have been away. The heat outside was forgotten thanks to the wonderful air conditioning and with everyone in the room (including myself for a change) dancing, we managed to get 3 sets onto the floor on several occasions even when the dance needed 4 couples. It was a night of achievement as some successfully tackled Pelorus Jack with it's unusual 'alternating tandem 1/2 reels of 3' for the first time and 'The Bee's' was introduced as a new dance to many in the class. The 'proper' music had arrived for Ramadan-ce at the end of last week (6 days from the order going in, which was pretty good I think) so I kept it on the programme for one more week so we could dance to it. I even got to dance it myself, which was a bit of a shock because despite walking it through and dancing it in my head so many times to work out how to teach it I have never, in fact, danced it myself. Luckily I didn't quite disgrace myself (thanks Ann :-) )! I hope to see those who can make it next week, and to everyone who is heading home, or there already, have a great Summer and we look forward to seeing you again in a few weeks time. Jx P.S. we are now taking money for the Picnic in the Park - anyone who has reserved a ticket try and remember to bring your money to class next week.
I had a bit of a shock when I logged on just now to update the website. I read the last 'blether' on this blog and thought I'd lost one, but no, it really was the last time I updated this - it's just that so much has been happening these last couple of weeks that it all seems so long ago. P and I have just finished videoing a friend's daughter's fabulous wedding, but we were also involved with a small amount of the organising and quite a bit of the pre-wedding socialising - with many of the guests visiting Cyprus for the first time it was a really great reminder of what a lovely place we live in. We've also been invited out so many celebrations of birthdays, bbq's and general getting-togethers time has been flying by in the nicest but most distracting way possible. Finding time to update the site has been a bit of a challenge - (partly because of the thunder storms recently) and I completely forgot to organise the Sunday class - so apologies all round. Tuesday was not effected by all the surrounding activity however and as usual it was a great night with a few welcome returnees balancing the loss of friends who have now returned home for the summer - though we are obviously still in their minds because I have just received this clipping from John - very apt and we all know it's so true - though I don't think we should wait until we are in any sort of decline!

Q: Strange code in jQuery sources: var !== var ? x : y; Recently I found one weird line in the jQuery sources (last version 1.9.1, Sizzle package, line 129 funescape function):
funescape = function( _, escaped ) {
    var high = "0x" + escaped - 0x10000;
    // NaN means non-codepoint
    return high !== high ?            // <--- LINE 129
        escaped :
        // BMP codepoint
        high < 0 ?
            String.fromCharCode( high + 0x10000 ) :
            // Supplemental Plane codepoint (surrogate pair)
            String.fromCharCode( high >> 10 | 0xD800, high & 0x3FF | 0xDC00 );
};

What is the reason to make high !== high comparison? It looks like return escaped will never be executed. Or do I miss something?
Reference: jQuery Sizzle

A: I'm piggy-backing on some of the comments here, but think this worthy information.
Some comments on the original question have suggested that this method of checking for NaN is actually much faster than isNaN()
When taken in conjunction with the following alternative to parseInt parseFloat we have a very fast way of converting to a number and checking its numeric state.
Is Subtracting Zero some sort of JavaScript performance trick?
So instead of
function Translated(val) {
    var x = parseFloat(val);
    if (!isNaN(x)) {
        alert("Not a number");
    }
}

We can have
function WTF(val) {
    var x = val - 0;
    if (x !== x) {
        alert("Not a number");

A: In fact it is written in the comment right above:

// NaN means non-codepoint

So it is mandatory to perform this comparison first to handle the NaN case as in JavaScript:
NaN === NaN returns false.
As pointed out by James Wiseman it is also important to know why the developer used high !== high instead of isNaN(high) which would have been clearer.
It is certainly based on performance. This test shows that a !== a is twenty times faster than isNaN(a).
zzzzBov also indicates that isNaN() could be overwritten, using !== is also more portable.
More info from Benjamin Gruenbaum:

It is also worth noting that NaN does not equal to anything else as
  well, and also it is not equal to anything else in an unstrict sense

And from Jan Dvorak:

Also note {valueOf:function(){return{}}} does equal itself

A: The condition high !== high returns true, when high is NaN.I wonder why the jQuery guys did not used the much clear isNaN(high) function instead, but that was probably due to performance reasons as koopajah pointed out.
NaN (Not-a-Number) means a result that cannot be represented as a Number. It is an undeterminated number.

Why NaN === NaN returns false ?
Consider
0/0          = NaN
Math.asin(2) = NaN

You know that 0/0 is different than Math.asin(2), so why whould NaN be equal to NaN?

Hyundai Sonata Recognized on Greener Choices 2009 List
2009 Sonata recognized as an environmentally friendly vehicle by the America Council for an Energy Efficient Economy
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., 02/05/2009 The 2009 Hyundai Sonata was recognized by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) on its annual "Greener Choices 2009" list for the fourth consecutive year. The Sonata will be featured in the ACEEE's Green Book® Online, an annual consumers' guide to environmentally-friendly cars and trucks.
"To be recognized for the fourth year in a row as a leader in fuel efficiency only reinforces Hyundai commitment to the environment and sustainability," said Michael Deitz, manager, Product Development, Hyundai Motor America. "The refreshed, fuel-efficient Sonata brings consumers industry leading safety features and an award-winning interior at a price they can afford."
The list is restricted to widely available gasoline-powered cars and light trucks with automatic transmissions, thus highlighting the widespread availability of environmentally friendly vehicle choices in many segments of the market.

SAGRADA FAMILIA BASILICA
Church, Gaudí Heritage, World Heritage
Antoni Gaudí accepted the job of continuing a neogothic-style church and giving it a monumental character. When the temple is finished, it will have three façades: the first representing the Birth of Christ, the second the Passion and death and the third the Glory. The four towers on each façade represent the four apostles.
In 1882, Antoni Gaudí, who was not yet a recognized architect, accepted the commission to continue the construction of a neo-Gothic church that had already been started. Obviously, he redid the entire project, adapting it to his style and giving it a monumental character.
He worked on it until he died in 1926, and even his last years were spent in the temple workshop. Gaudí left unfinished a work which would be the most prominent of all his creation and would become the most visited monument in Barcelona.
Hyperbolic paraboloids, convex, helicoid and hyperboloid vaults are the technical names of the forms used by the artist in much of his work and, above all in the Sagrada Familia, in which he took them to the highest structural complexity.
From the beginning, the Sagrada Familia has sparked debate among the people of Barcelona, especially after the artist´s death, when it raised the question of the continuation of works. Those who have opted for the continuation, and won their argument, argue that cathedrals have always been built throughout several generations and that each has brought its vision of art and time.
The main problem is that most of the project plans were destroyed during the Civil War (the workers´ movement saw it as a symbol of power of the bourgeoisie and the church) and architects who have continued the work have had to rely on the few plans saved or published and on some models and photographs.
Moreover, the material being used is artificial stone and not the natural stone used by Gaudí. The sculptures added to the façade of the Pasión are also controversial, work of Josep Maria Subirachs whose Cubist forms rather contrast with the curved lines that characterize the work of Gaudí.
Once the temple is completed, it will have three façades, one dedicated to the Nativity of Christ, one to the Passion and Death (the access to the site at present) and the most monumental one, the Glory façade on the south side. The four towers of each façade (at present eight are built) symbolise the twelve apostles. The dome that crowns the apse is the symbol of the Virgin, and the four large towers are dedicated to the evangelists and encircle the central spire that symbolizes the Saviour.
From the Nativity of Christ façade one can walk up to one of the towers, an effort that is undoubtedly worth it for the uppor perspective of the temple and of the entire city. Other interesting areas are the cloister, the crypt and the museum.

Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) Thursday reported a 10.9 per cent fall in global vehicle sales to 43,733 units in January, hit by tough market conditions in China.
Sales of Jaguar brand of vehicles during the month stood at 12,799 units in January, a decline of 9 per cent over the same month of 2018, the company said in a statement.
However, Land Rover range sales declined 11.6 per cent in January to 30,934 units, it added.
"The economic slowdown in China continues to impact consumer confidence but, as part of our turnaround plan, we are working extensively with our retailers to rejuvenate sales," JLR Chief Commercial Officer Felix Brautigam said.
JLR's total retail sales for the 10 months to January 31, 2019, stood at 4,63,732 units, down 5.5 per cent as compared to the corresponding period a year ago.

Begin your experience with this stirring 17-minute journey from 1787 to the present. Freedom Rising, presented in the all-new Sidney Kimmel Theater, is a multimedia theatrical production with 360-degree projection, state-of-the-art sound and lighting, and a live actor who narrates the American quest for freedom.
This dynamic, interactive exhibit illuminates America's constitutional history through innovative exhibits, films and photographs, rare artifacts, and hands-on activities led by our education staff.
One of the Center's most popular and iconic attractions, Signers' Hall invites you to sign the Constitution alongside 42 life-size, bronze statues of the Founding Fathers present at the signing on September 17, 1787.
This is the only known signature of Abraham Lincoln from the day he delivered his famous Gettysburg Address. It was collected in an autograph book used to gather the signatures of dignitaries attending the dedication ceremony of Gettysburg National Cemetery on November 19, 1863.

Explore two significant heirlooms of our constitutional heritage: the first public printing and the signed, handwritten Constitution.
The National Constitution Center owns a rare, original copy of the first public printing of the Constitution. The Constitutional Convention was conducted under an oath of secrecy, so this printing represents the first time Americans saw the Constitution.
The signed, handwritten Constitution is at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. It was signed in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787, by 39 delegates to the Constitutional Convention.
These must-see exhibits offer fresh perspectives on the Constitution.
