To get a better quality photo experience remember Shoot only with someone -a professional photographer- who understands what print modeling is. Like in life, with a test in school or for a sport, being prepared and being smart about investing time into your pursuits results in a better chance for accomplishing a goal and your success.
Watching for good lighting in photos, natural makeup and styling and bring forward your energy and personality is best for shorter models.
It is better to get the basic shots you NEED than random ones that look unprofessional.
Professional doesn't mean over Photoshop -it means natural, you as your real self in the photos and compcard you use to market you to agencies.
I suggest with the word professional in mind to keep the shots natural and do not overkill the Photoshop!
These days to present yourself to an agency for print modeling your compcard should show the real you because real people and girls of all sizes are seen modeling in lifestyle ads and campaigns. If you are shorter than 5'8" (most of us are!) you really should strive for print modeling and be aware there is a certain type of photo to show, and natural is best.
Remember, aim higher, and want professionalism, skip TFP with amatuers, you don't have to go crazy shooting over and over and over and over and do a massive amount of shoots, (most of the time that is amatuer to just shoot to shoot), -shoot with a goal, shoot to get ahead, and get opportunities, not just for the heck of it. Aim higher, want more, and get more out of your goals. Yes it is tough, yes it is competitive, of course, this is modeling, but these days modeling is open to anyone who wants to try it, if you have the right ambition and the right photos and marketing mindset.

Seattle City Council Greenlights Affordable Housing in South Park
As part of a continued effort to provide for community needs and improve housing options for low-income families in the area, Seattle City Council has approved the acquisition of two parcels of land in the South Park neighborhood for affordable housing development.
The legislation from Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan specifies that the housing units must be affordable for individuals or families making 60% or less of the area's median income. This equates to $69,400 for a family of four and $48,600 for an individual.
The price of the combined acquisition is around $3.65 million, with plans for anywhere from 70 to 120 units for low-income families. The project will also include access to community services on the ground floor of the development, and aims to prioritize applications from families and individuals who would be most impacted by potential displacement from the area.
Additionally, the development which will be located on 18,000 square feet of land, will aim to be highly efficient with energy and water, with a fully electric design and zero carbon output.
This acquisition is part of a larger project started in 2016 by the Office of Housing to invest further in the Duwamish Valley. Further plans for this area include a future South Park Plaza, a river walk with infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists along with a waterfront trail, a South Park Community Center and Marra Farm, which will be a multi-use park.
Seattle Public Utilities and the Department of Transportation are also working to improve the area's infrastructure, streets and drainage, and will be adding a pump station. The Duwamish Valley Affordable Housing Coalition worked in tandem with the City of Seattle to take on this project, and was awarded $1 million to assist with the identification and acquisition of land to support these community services.
The completion of all these projects is still a long way off; however, with the city's prioritization of the needs of potentially displaced people, racial equity and environmental concerns of the area, South Park residents have a lot to look forward to.

With winter fast approaching, it is time to start thinking about hockey.
Sep. 9, 2014 12:00 p.m.
The deadline to register for the upcoming season is in less than two weeks.
Ryneld Starr, president of the Hazelton Minor Hockey Association said people have to be signed up by Sept. 22.
Starr added the association is offering a low cost camp for everyone who has registered for the first week in October.
He isn't sure about the exact price but it will be around $20.
There will be a team for every division and there will also be a peewee girls team.
"Usually peewee is for 11-12 year olds but for the girls we will allow 10-13 year olds, it is a wider range than normal," he said.
Around 100 kids play every year in the minor hockey association. However, Starr said this year they are short on Adam division players, those born in 2004-2005.
Starr said the association is also short on adult refs.
"We only have two in the area so often we have to bring in refs from out of town, that is really costly.
Anyone with questions can contact Starr at 250-842-0382 or visit the association's website or Facebook page.
Regular practice starts Oct. 6.

Express purchase is available again! Žabka opened two new stores
Vania Hargraves August 24, 2021 4 min read
BRATISLAVA, DUNAJSKÁ STREDA August 20, 2021 – Žabka continues to expand in Slovakia and in a short period of one week has opened two new stores – one in Dunajská Streda and the other in Bratislava. From August 2021, customers will be able to use eight Žabka stores in western Slovakia to make quick purchases without compromise. From Thursday 19 August 2021, residents of Dunajská Streda can buy everything they need to quickly prepare food at home or at work in their new abka. At the end of the summer holidays – on August 26, 2021, the eighth abka store will be added in Slovakia (and the fourth in Bratislava), specifically in the Dúbravka region.
• Shoppers at Žabky will be able to visit two new stores from August 2021. The Food Network continues to expand rapidly.
• By the end of August, Shapka will open eight operations in Slovakia. It opens its newest stores in Donajska Strida and Bratislava.
• Customers appreciate the carefully selected range of express purchases, as well as additional abka services, such as online shopping with home delivery.
"At Žabka, we are very proud of how quickly customers are getting used to our brand, and we are happy that it is becoming more and more popular. Žabka stores are sought after by shoppers to buy them quickly, for example on the way to work and back, or when preparing a quick lunch or dinner Customers appreciate shopping at Žabka, especially in places where the number of people is high – for example, in city centers, within transportation hubs or in administrative complexes," explain Miroslav Orana, General Manager of ABKA City in SlovakiaHe adds: "abka is a store concept that is also suitable for busy people and our additional services help them save time. An example of this is delivery via BOLT Food and WOLT services or DPD courier delivery points – called DPD Pickup – in our stores. We are also preparing other innovations such as phone recharges And tablets directly in the store or, for example, change the packaging of soda bottles. "

Žabka in Dunajská Streda It became the brand's first store in the mall. Customers can buy groceries at Žabka at ZOC MAX in Galantská cesta from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week. The store, which is over 85 square meters in size, offers a choice of about 2,100 items. In addition to other foods and products that customers also know from other Žabka stores, local innovations have been added, such as handcrafted beer from Trnava's Smadná tava brewery or fresh juices and salads from the UGO brand.
A week later, on August 26, 2021, abka will open another store. In terms of area, it will be one of the largest abka operations in Slovakia to date. It will provide customers with more than 2,300 items on an area of 120 square meters. Nova Chapka will have an address at the residential property on Martina Granca Street 46 in Dúbravka, Bratislava. Near a smaller square, where neighbors from the area already meet, for example, with good coffee. Soon abka will serve them delicious and fresh coffee with them soon. The new Dúbravská Žabka's opening hours will be from 6am to 10pm, every day of the week. Busy people from the region can also buy from Žabka remotely – through one of the proven delivery services BOLT Food or WOLT.
Attractive job opportunity
"ABKA is a business concept that operates in the form of franchising cooperation. This means that every abka in Slovakia is run by an experienced franchise partner who can always count on the support and knowledge of the experienced abka team. Thanks to the cooperation, the franchise partner acquires a fully equipped store with regular supply, " Add Miroslav Orana from abka.

Brigham Kimball: Mormon Missionary Extraordinaire
Ryan Shoemaker
Brigham's mission call, an excerpt: You are assigned to labor in the Honduras San Pedro Sula Mission. You will prepare to preach the gospel in the Spanish language . . .
Brigham's mom, Jackie, pulls a map from top shelf of the coat closet and spreads it across the dining room table. She's on the phone with Grandma Kimball.
"Yes, he just got his call," she yells into the phone. "Honduras. I see it right here on the map. It's in southern Mexico…. I'm sure they do. . . . These days everyone has a washing machine and microwave."
Brigham dusts off his old junior high Spanish assignments. For dinner, Jackie makes tacos. Brigham's father, John, buys a piñata, which the family blithely pulverizes with a broomstick after dinner.
Farewell Talk at Church
Brigham, excerpt from talk: I echo the words of that mighty prophet, Joseph Smith, who looking out over his beloved Nauvoo for the last time, said: "I go as a lamb to the slaughter; but I am calm as a summer's morning; I have a conscience void of sin and offense before God, and before all men. I shall die innocent, and it shall be said of me—he was murdered in cold blood."
Brigham weeps, Jackie weeps, John weeps, Grandma and Grandpa Kimball weep. Aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, and nieces weep. Brigham's girlfriend, Heather, weeps, friends weep, babies weep. Priests and High Priests sleep. Bishop Sanders eyes his watch and nervously taps his Wingtips. A deacon brings up a fresh box of Kleenex.
Missionary Training Center: Provo, Utah
Savory Salisbury steak, spaghetti with a rich meat sauce, a taco bar. Brigham puts on weight. He devotes himself to learning Spanish. In fact, he never speaks a word of English. Brian Holland, his companion, occasionally forgets Elder Kimball's name.
Brigham mutters goodbyes in Spanish. "Voy a convertir el mundo," he says. He embraces Jackie, embraces John, affectionately shakes Heather's hand. While he's away, she promises to plan their wedding.
First Night in Honduras
Fleas, ticks, chiggers, earwigs, gnats, roaches, rats. Bats, beetles, mice, mites, lice. Spitting spiders, jumping spiders, barking spiders, flying spiders. Fire ants, Azteca ants, Parasol ants, Tuxedo ants. Screaming monkeys. Diggers, gougers, itchers, stingers, stabbers. Iguanas. Mosquitoes.
Return with Honor
A letter from John, an excerpt: Brigham, an honorable mission is the foundation of a successful life. I truly believe that. Too many squander the experience. You might feel it's not in my character to say this, but let me impart some sage advice my father gave me right before I left on my mission. "Son," he said. "Keep your pecker in the birdhouse."
Brigham's First Baptism
Brigham and Pedro Sanchez wade into the dark, meandering river. Piranhas nip at their heels, crocodiles dismember a yak on the opposite bank, primitive savages beat drums in the distance.
Coming up from the water, Pedro embraces Brigham and intones a string of high, lispy Gracias in his ear. Brigham feels Pedro's hand clamped tightly to his right buttock. "What a strange custom," Brigham thinks.
Altercation
A letter from Brigham's companion, Elder Parker, to Guadalupe Rancho de la Lengua, an excerpt translated from Spanish: What I wouldn't give to get some distance between me and this new elder. What's his name? Kimball. That's right. Every morning I have to wake up to his chipper voice and that stupid grin on his happy face. I want him to stop shining my shoes. I think I'll scream if he says even more time with that dreamy look in his eyes, "Elder, these are our days in the history of the church." The only thing that makes life bearable is you, seeing you across the chapel on Sunday, getting your letters. When I get back to Utah, I'll send money for a plane ticket. We'll drive up Provo Canyon in my Mustang. We'll eat lunch in a grassy meadow. You can make those cheese empanadas I love.
Brigham confronts Elder Parker about a letter he finds on the bathroom sink. Parker denies everything. Brigham also expresses concern over Parker's lack of interest in their morning companionship study. "You'll never understand our love," Parker says, and then, right before kicking Brigham in the groin, screams, "Put this in your journal!"
More Companion Problems
An excerpt from Brigham's letter to John: I just got transferred to a city off the Mosquito Coast called Trujillo. I'm now companions with Elder Ramirez. He's from Caracas and tells me he used to be a cage fighter, but gave it up when he became a Mormon.
I don't think he quite understands what we're supposed to do. He's always trying to sell our investigators these Rolex knock-offs. He has a bunch of them looped around a string he's tied into the lining of his suit jacket, and at the end of a lesson, he opens his jacket and starts making his pitch. It's quite awkward. Do you think I should speak with Mission President Hurley?
One night Brigham has a mildly erotic dream about Heather. They're in a city he doesn't recognize, sitting in the back of taxi that speeds through empty streets. Inexplicably, they're both dressed in purple leisure suits. Heather delicately kneads the back of Brigham's neck.
And then he's suddenly awoken by the sound of naked feet moving over saltillo tile, a book falling, and the swish of fabric. Through the pale darkness, Brigham watches Ramirez thumbing through his wallet, pulling out crisp dollar bills, ogling Heather's senior picture.
"Elder," Brigham asks. "Qué estás haciendo?"
"Amigo," Ramirez hisses, and then in a broken, effeminate English, says, "The only thing in this world that gives orders is balls." His hair sticks up. His eyes are wild. "Silenzio, Elder."
Heather hasn't written in months. Brigham assumes her heavy course load in Family Science at Brigham Young University must be the cause, and then one day a letter arrives. Instead of emanating the pleasant scent of Heather's Tommy Girl perfume, the letter reeks of dirty diapers.
Heather, excerpt from letter: It just happened so quickly with Phil. I mean, it was just a group of us watching The Never Ending Story, and Phil and I were crying during all the same scenes, like in the end when Bastian and the Empress are sitting there and she has the last grain of sand from Fantasia in her palm. Everyone got tired of the movie and left and it was just the two of us, and I was like, "This is my favorite movie of all time," and he was like, "Yeah, mine too." It was like it was meant to be. I mean, we love the same movie. It was a sign. Anyway, since I'd already planned our wedding, all I had to do was replace your name with Phil's on the invitations. That's why it happened so quickly. It was crazy. I forgot to write. Forgive me. So have a good mission. There's someone out there for you. I'd write more but I have to feed Lizzy. She's been fussy lately. I think she has a rash.
That night Brigham quietly weeps into his pillow.
A Letter from Mission President Hurley
An excerpt: Elder Kimball, next week I'm sending a new missionary your way, an Elder Casper from Vernon, Utah, fresh from the Missionary Training Center. I'll expect you to train him well. Teach him to preach the gospel with boldness. Teach him Spanish. With increased responsibility come greater blessings.
Looking over your last letter to me, I see you're contemplating a major in pre-law when you return to BYU. As an attorney, I advise against it. As you see, I'm as big as a house. It came upon me suddenly in my early thirties. Too much sitting in courtrooms and conference rooms, too many lunches at Essex House and Jean Georges, all those billing hours to make partner. I let myself go. I can't even buy pants off the rack anymore. My knees are shot. If I could go back, I'd be a logger or a fisherman or a gentleman farmer. I'd have learned how to cobble shoes. Law is death, Elder! Death and pain and loneliness. I'm a tender soul and they think I'm a monster. Find success serving the Lord, Elder. That's the secret.
A Trainer
Elders Kimball and Casper hike wooded hills, wade sewage-choked streams, knock doors. They smile. They push pamphlets and Books of Mormon on the unbelieving. They pray for the poor and needy. They implore inactive members to return to church.
One day, a little boy stops them. He's digging in a trash heap. His fingers and cheeks are stained black, and he wears an extra-large T-shirt with Don't Piss Me Off, Butt-Munch printed across the chest.
(Conversation with boy translated from Spanish.)
The boy points to Brigham's black nametag. "That's my name, too."
"Your name?" Brigham is baffled. He feels he's missed something.
"Elder," the boy says. He smiles. Strangely, his teeth are white and straight. "Elder's my first name."
Brigham laughs and drops to one knee in front of the boy. "Elder? And where did you get a name like that?"
The boy stares at his grubby bare feet, suddenly shy. "My mommy said it was my daddy's first name, just like yours. You and my daddy have the same name. Do you know where he is? I never met him."
Elder Casper grins dumbly as he fumbles through a pocket-sized English/Spanish dictionary. "What's he saying? I caught about a third of it. His father. Is his father interested in hearing our lessons?"
"Let's get out of here," Brigham says.
Brigham's Advice to Elder Casper
Don't drink the water, don't pet the dogs, don't ride horses, don't eat the dried fish, never share a bed with your companion, don't believe any girl who confesses her love for you—and, keep your pecker in the birdhouse.
The Triumphant Return Home
Brigham appears at the end of the jet way. His suit is in tatters. He has jock itch and an intestinal parasite. He has about him the smell of the jungle. The camera flashes blind him. He sprints through a paper banner that reads Well done, good and faithful servant. All weep.
Ryan Shoemaker's fiction has appeared or is forthcoming in Silk Road Review, Santa Monica Review, and Grist: The Journal for Writers, among others. A practicing Mormon, Ryan lives in Burbank, California with his wife and two children.

Sensory architecture in silent vision : an investigation through designing public architectural spaces for visually impaired users
Grant, Peter and Asgari, Zeynab and Hyland, Claire (2014) Sensory architecture in silent vision : an investigation through designing public architectural spaces for visually impaired users. In: Architecture Abstracts Third Annual International Conference on Architecture 10 - 13 June 2013, Athens, Greece. Athens Institute for Education and Research, Athens Greece, p. 33. ISBN 978-618-5065-00-3
This abstract describes ongoing PhD research on how to improve the quality of architectural public spaces for visually impaired people, investigating the semiotics of architecture and environmental psychology, translating and changing the focus of architectural spaces from vision (40% of the brain is devoted to vision), to other senses such as: sound, touch, smell. Interaction with others, way finding around the building and responses to different elements used in design are the three main categories which have enticed researchers in this field. The main focus of the research is hearing and sound, the most important sense after vision. The project intends to investigate the quality of sound and echo in space and the way sound resonates in architectural spaces, and suggest how sound could be a useful way to guide visually impaired people, specifically how different shapes, surfaces and materials forming an architectural space can help the sound last more, and echo in different directions of the building, acting like a virtual map in the mind. Visually impaired people will have a sensory perception and may feel that they can interpret the space within the building with the mind's eye. By exploring the mental image that visually impaired people have in their brain and how they imagine the space, we can then change the mental image by trying to produce different sounds in different directions of the space. The echo can guide visually impaired people and they can walk easily in different directions, producing different images in different parts of the building, this sound will become the picture of the space in their memory. The research method will be quantitative and qualitative; involving questionnaires and interviews with visually impaired users and local authorities such as, RNIB, Deaf Blind Scotland, and the results will be used to create public architectural spaces for visually impaired users.

Funkytown ist ein Disco-Klassiker von Lipps, Inc., der von Steven Greenberg geschrieben und produziert wurde. Das Lied wurde 1979 auf dem Album Mouth to Mouth und im Februar 1980 als Single bei Casablanca Records veröffentlicht.

Geschichte
Steven Greenberg hatte gerade einen lokalen Radiohit gelandet, als er sich im Sommer 1979 entschloss, das Projekt Lipps, Inc. ins Leben zu rufen. Bereits im Herbst 1979 erschien das Album Mouth to Mouth, auf dem sich auch Funkytown befand. Der Liedtext soll zum Ausdruck bringen, dass sich Greenberg in Minneapolis nicht mehr wohlfühlte und sich wünschte, irgendwo anders hinzugehen, dieser Ort ist das im Lied besungene Funkytown. Es entstand ein Dance-Song mit einem "pumpenden Rhythmus" und dem markanten Gesang von Cynthia Johnson, der der abebbenden Disco-Bewegung der 1970er Jahre noch einmal einen Popularitätsschub gab. Das Lied lebt von der ständigen Wiederholung des Haupt-Riffs, das dem The-Doors-Lied The Changeling vom Album L.A. Woman entnommen ist, dem mit Hall versehenen Gesang und zahlreichen Soundeffekten.

Die Single-Veröffentlichung erfolgte am 18. Februar 1980 als zweite Auskopplung aus dem Album Mouth to Mouth. In den Vereinigten Staaten sowie in Kanada, Australien, Neuseeland, Deutschland, Österreich, der Schweiz, den Niederlanden, Belgien und Norwegen wurde der Disco-Klassiker ein Nummer-eins-Hit. Es blieb der einzige Hit der Gruppe und wurde in den USA mit Platin für mehr als eine Million verkaufte Einheiten ausgezeichnet.

Weitere Verwendung
In der Futurama-Episode "Amazonen machen Snu Snu" singt Morbo das Lied in einer Karaokebar. Ebenfalls fand der Song in Filmen wie Shrek 2 – Der tollkühne Held kehrt zurück, Alvin und die Chipmunks – Der Kinofilm und Disaster Movie, in der Episode "Ein bisschen kiffen?" der Serie South Park, sowie in der Episode "Rollerskates" der Serie Malcolm mittendrin seine Verwendung.

Coverversion von Pseudo Echo

1986 nahmen Pseudo Echo den Klassiker neu auf und gestalteten die Cover-Version nach Vorbild der "Rock-Nummern" der 1980er, mit Tendenz zu Synth Rock und New Wave. Die Version wurde weltweit am 15. Dezember 1986 veröffentlicht; in Kanada, Australien und Neuseeland wurde die Fassung ein Nummer-eins-Hit.

#2526: Willa Cather to Alfred A. Knopf, [February 4, 1922]
⬩W⬩S⬩C⬩ SaturdayDear Mr. Knopf1;
Here is the text for the Jacket3. I am sending it to your house, as I am utterly unable to get your office by telephone-- you seem almost as telephoneless as I am! - and I am sure you will be at home this evening. Perhaps you will have more time to regarder it there than you would at your desk.
Miss Lewis4 says that it's very difficult to write an ad5 for a story6 when the author insists that the theme of the story must not be whispered in the ad! Please ask Mr. Spier7 to have a proof made of this and send it to me, as she may be able to better the text in the proof. And if you yourself have any suggestions8 to make, please let me have the benefit of them.
Faithfully yours W. S. C.
All the galley proofs9 of the novel are now in my hands. About when would you like to have them done?
I look forward to hearing Miss Hess10 on Monday11.
Document is one leaf, typewritten and handwritten on recto only.
Alfred A. Knopf1
[February 4, 1922]
Explanation of conjectured date
4 February 1922, was the Saturday before 6 February 1922, when Alfred Knopf responded to this letter.
New York, New York, United States2
Cather-Knopf Correspondence, The Dobkin Family Collection of Feminism, New York, NY
The dust jacket of the first trade issue of One of Ours (1922).
Cather is attributing the enclosed proposed jacket text to Edith Lewis. As published, the jacket makes no reference to the fact that the protagonist fights and dies in France in World War I. Instead, the novel is described as "the intimate story of a young man's life, Claude Wheeler's stormy youth, his enigmatic marriage, and the final adventure which releases the baffled energy of the boy's nature."
On 6 February 1922 Knopf asked permission to "lift" from Lewis's text.
Printers produce galleys for proofreading and correction before the typeset text has been configured into pages.
Myra Hess gave a piano recital at the Aeolian Hall on 6 February 1922 in New York City.
Knopf, Alfred A. (1892-1984). President of New York publisher Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. Knopf received his B.A. from Columbia University in New York City in 1912 and founded Alfred Knopf, Inc., in 1915 with his future wife Blanche Wolf. They married in 1916, and their son Alfred "Pat" Knopf was born in 1918. Cather chose him as her publisher beginning with Youth and the Bright Medusa (1920) and One of Ours (1922), partly because she was dissatisfied with the promotion of her books by Houghton Mifflin but also because she recognized the high quality of Knopf's books, as well as what she regarded as his intelligent advertising. Knopf was noted for publishing the work of leading European and South American writers in translation, as well as original works. Knopf and Cather's extensive correspondence testifies to their mutual professional respect and to what also became an important personal friendship.
Lewis, Edith Labaree (1881-1972). Magazine editor, advertising copywriter, and Cather's domestic partner. Born in Lincoln, NE, to Henry Euclid Lewis and Lillie Gould Lewis, Edith Lewis attended the preparatory school associated with the University of Nebraska, earning college credits from the University before transferring to Smith College in Northampton, MA, in 1899. She received an A.B. in English from Smith in 1902 and returned home to teach elementary school. She met Willa Cather in the summer of 1903 at the home of Sarah Harris, publisher of the Lincoln Courier. Moving to New York City soon afterward, Lewis settled into a studio on Washington Square and found work at the Century Publishing Company. Cather was her guest when she visited the city from Pittsburgh. In 1906, at Cather's suggestion, Lewis applied for a position as an editorial proofreader at McClure's Magazine, and the two women worked together on the McClure's staff for six years. In 1908, they moved into a shared apartment at 82 Washington Place, and then, in 1912, to Five Bank Street. Lewis left McClure's in 1915 to become managing editor of Every Week Magazine, where she stayed until the magazine folded in 1918. In 1919 she began a long career as an advertising copywriter at the J. Walter Thompson Co. In 1926 Edith Lewis acquired the land on which she and Cather built their cottage on Grand Manan Island. When they lost their apartment on Bank Street to subway construction in 1927, they shared quarters at the Grosvenor Hotel when they were both in New York City. In 1932 they took an apartment at 570 Park Avenue. Throughout their relationship, Lewis was closely involved in Cather's creative process, reading and editing her work in pre-publication forms. Cather's will appointed Lewis as executor of her literary estate and a beneficiary of her literary trust. Lewis authorized E.K. Brown as Cather's first biographer and published her own memoir of Cather, Willa Cather Living (1953). She remained in their Park Avenue apartment after Cather's death and died there after a long period of illness and invalidism. She is buried at Cather's side in Jaffrey, NH.
Spier, Franklin (1896-1973). American publishing and advertising executive. Born and raised in New York City, Franklin Spier received a B.A. from Columbia University in 1917. In the 1920s, he worked at Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., coordinating book reviewing and other promotion activities. In the 1930s he founded Franklin Spier, Inc. an advertising agency specializing in book promotion.
Hess, Myra (1890-1965). British pianist. Born to a Jewish family in London, England, Myra Hess began playing piano as a young child, studying at the Royal Academy of Music. In 1907 she made her debut, then toured in Britain and Europe. She made her American debut in 1922, becoming popular as a soloist and in ensembles. Cather became acquainted with her through her publishers, Alfred and Blanche Knopf. Myra Hess was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1936 and Dame Commander in 1941. During World War II, when bombings and curfews made evening concerts impossible, Hess organized thousands of weekday lunch-time concerts by eminent musicians.

Best Graphing Calculator For High School
by herzogbr
TI-84
The TI-84 Plus is a calculator for graphing purposes designed by Texas Instruments. There's no TI-84, so don't look for it: Only the TI-84 Plus and the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition. The TI-84 Plus is a superior version to the TI-83, which is in itself, an upgrade to the TI-82. This model is pretty much the same when it comes to functionality but it comes with a lot more bang for your buck. The memory of the TI-84 Plus has three times more memory than that of the TI-83 and the CPU (central processing unit, like in your PC) is two and a half times faster. It comes with a built in USB port which allows you to transfer data straight from other devices and also comes with a built clock.
The TI-84 Plus Silver Edition wasn't released until 2004 and is a direct upgrade to the TI-83 Plus Silver Edition. It has a 15 MHz Zilog Z80 processor, 24 kb of RAM, and 1.5 MB Flash ROM. It also contains a built in clock, USB port, and assembly support. The TI-84 Plus Silver Edition uses 4 triple 'A' batteries and a backup cell battery (like the kind you can find in a wristwatch). TI distributes a lot of their TI-84 Plus Silver Editions to schools in yellow casings, while owners can buy clip on colored face-plates and cases in stores and online. You can even buy a kick stand slide case to have your calculator stand up, making calculations quicker. The calculator comes with all sorts of preloaded applications, including App4Math, which allows students to punch in their equations exactly how they see it in their books.
There are three major types of software associated with the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition, including the traditional TI-BASIC programming language, z80 assembly language, and Flash. Using those three types of programs, the user is accustomed to games, science tutorials, note taking capabilities, and calculus. This graphing calculator can be used on most exams, including the SAT, ACT, and the IB exams. You may catch a bad break, though, as the instructor might reset the calculator's memory in order to prevent cheating as the built in programs can be pretty advanced.
When TI came out with OS 2.30, graphing speeds were highly diminished. The reason for that was due to the update adding an extra feature known as asymptote checking into the graphing which used up more memory and CPU usage.
In 2006, TI came out with the 2.40 OS version which included the "Teacher Key", which meant that teachers could just press a button to disable any programs that were installed on the calculator so they couldn't be used to cheat on tests. The current version of the TI-84 Plus series is 2.43, which was released in 2007.

News: Mesopotamia
Strong winter dust storms may have caused the collapse of the Akkadian Empire
Shows analysis of six 4,100-year-old fossil Porites corals
Fossil coral records provide new evidence that frequent winter shamals, or dust storms, and a prolonged cold winter season contributed to the collapse of the ancient Akkadian Empire in Mesopotamia.
The Akkadian Empire (24th to 22nd century B.C.E.) was the first united empire in Mesopotamia and thrived with the development of irrigation. Yet, settlements appear to have been suddenly abandoned ca. 4,200 years ago, causing its collapse. The area would also not experience resettlement until about 300 years later.
Past studies have shown that the Akkadian Empire likely collapsed due to abrupt drought and civil turmoil. However, the climatic dynamics which caused widespread agricultural failures and the end of an era have yet to be sufficiently explored.
Researchers from Hokkaido University, the KIKAI Institute for Coral Reef Sciences, Kyushu University, and Kiel University made paleoclimatic reconstructions of the temperature and hydrological changes of the areas around the archaeological site of Tell Leilan, the center of the Akkadian Empire. They sampled six 4,100-year-old fossil Porites corals from the Gulf of Oman, just directly downwind. The samples were aged by radiocarbon dating and geochemically analyzed to confirm they have not been significantly altered from their present state.
The coral data was then compared to modern coral samples and meteorological information. Although it is normal for the survey area to receive a significant amount of rainfall in the winter, the coral data suggests that, during the time of the empire's collapse, the area suffered from significant dry spells. The data before and since the collapse are furthermore comparable to modern coral data, showing the dry spells would have been sudden and intense.
The fossil evidence shows that there was a prolonged winter shamal season accompanied by frequent shamal days. The impact of the dust storms and the lack of rainfall would have caused major agricultural problems possibly leading to social instability and famine, both factors which have been previously associated with the collapse of the empire.
"Although the official mark of the collapse of the Akkadian Empire is the invasion of Mesopotamia by other populations, our fossil samples are windows in time showing that variations in climate significantly contributed to the empire's decline," said Tsuyoshi Watanabe of Hokkaido University's Department of Natural History Sciences. "Further interdisciplinary research will help improve our understanding of connections between climate changes and human societies in the past."

Q: Postgres select distinct row per group without repeating I have a query that generated matched data like this. For each parent I need to select a child but not repeat the same combination or parent or child. In the picture below, the black border shows the groups and the blue highlighted rows are the rows I want returned.

I also have the case where there are 6 parents and only 3 children. In this case I only want 3 rows max, the child and parent ids can't repeat. I just want the first matched children to parents.

A: So I conducting some research and found options that were close but didn't do the trick. I finally got exactly what I wanted.
    WITH firstmatched AS (
    SELECT parent,
           child,
           ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY child
                                 ORDER BY parent DESC) AS rowkey1,
           ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY parent
                                 ORDER BY child DESC) AS rowkey2
      FROM mytable)
    SELECT *
    FROM firstmatched where rowkey1 = rowkey2

Take the case where there are 6 parents and only children, this query without the where clause (where rowkey1 = rowkey2) looks like this.

Then with the where clause added it reduces to this.

Hopefully this helps someone with a similar issue.

A: Rock&Roll-method: just make all assignments and skip the errors:

\i tmp.sql

 -- The data [in non-graphical form]
CREATE TABLE tableau(
        parent integer NOT NULL
        , child integer NOT NULL
        , PRIMARY KEY (parent,child)
        ) ;

INSERT INTO tableau(parent,child) VALUES
( 450759,450768) , ( 450759,450771) , ( 450759,450773)
, ( 450763,450768) , ( 450763,450771) , ( 450763,450773)
, ( 450765,450768) , ( 450765,450771) , ( 450765,450773)
        ;

-- Receptor table for the results:
CREATE TEMP TABLE assignment(
        parent integer NOT NULL UNIQUE
        , child integer NOT NULL UNIQUE
        );

-- Just do it!
INSERT INTO assignment(parent,child)
SELECT parent,child
FROM tableau
ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING --<< MAGIC!
  ;

SELECT * FROM tableau;
SELECT * FROM assignment;

Results:

CREATE SCHEMA
SET
CREATE TABLE
INSERT 0 9
CREATE TABLE
INSERT 0 3
 parent | child
--------+--------
 450759 | 450768
 450759 | 450771
 450759 | 450773
 450763 | 450768
 450763 | 450771
 450763 | 450773
 450765 | 450768
 450765 | 450771
 450765 | 450773
(9 rows)

 parent | child
--------+--------
 450759 | 450768
 450763 | 450771
 450765 | 450773
(3 rows)

Note: this solution is greedy; it can fail to find an optimal solution on some types of tableau data.

A regular desktop Microsoft Office package is software-based that typically needs to be installed either by a download or hardware. Office 365 is a web-based package that is centered around the cloud. All data is stored in the cloud. Storing software on your computer, tablet, or other hardware is not necessary, although you can download it if you would like. Any time you need to access your data, it can be gathered from the cloud on an as-needed basis.
Typically, Office 365 is seen as safer than the desktop version of Office suite since Office 365 uses encryption. The encryption and other security measures allow Office 365 to be HIPAA and FERPA compliant, perfect for those who are in the health care or education industries. Security in a cloud-based storage system is stronger, and you can store larger amounts of data compared to storing these things at an on-site level.
As mentioned previously, when you are working with Office 365, you could have more storage space than the traditional desktop version of Microsoft Office. The traditional version stores most items on your computer's hard drive, which causes your system to slow down over time. When you run out of space, it could force you to delete old programs or emails, which could be needed for record-keeping later. Office 365 allows the user to choose their storage space plans up to 6 TB.
Microsoft is consistently working on improving Office 365 and with better tools and features. Due to Office 365 being a cloud-based platform, upgrades and software updates can happen automatically. Not only do current and automatic software updates keep your business moving efficiently and effectively, but they also keep your data protected from cyber-attacks.
Most businesses need to be able to access their files wherever they conduct business. Office 365 is mobile compatible, which means that you can access and edit any of your Office files wherever you have internet access. Multiple people can access and edit files simultaneously.
Only Pay for What You Use
With the traditional Office suite, you are paying for and physically installing the software suite on each of the devices that your business uses. With Office 365 you are paying for a license, and, with the right credentials, employees can access the Office 365 suite wherever they are and on whatever device that they have available to them.

Japan Airlines prepares to file for bankruptcy
Airline will reject offers of equity investment from US rivals American and Delta Airlines and undergo state-sponsored restructuring

Japan Airlines is expected to be declared bankrupt, possibly as early as this week, despite offers of aid from US rivals that could rescue the stricken carrier.
The airline, which is the biggest in Asia but is burdened with debts of £10bn, will file for bankruptcy as part of a state-sponsored restructuring that is likely to see it emerge slimmed down and ready to renegotiate with its partners.
The move could have significant implications for British Airways, which is a partner with American Airlines and Japan Airlines in the Oneworld Alliance.
Government officials said they would reject offers of equity investment in the airline from American and Delta Airlines, which is part of the rival SkyTeam grouping, ahead of a bankruptcy filing.
They said the government planned to put in new management and restructure the company before seeking to negotiate with rival airlines over possible tie-ups.
Delta and American have been courting Japan Airlines with rival offers of financial aid, backed by private equity partners. A move by Japan Airlines to join the SkyTeam group would limit BA's links to other far east destinations and curb growth in some of its most profitable routes.
However, it could be several months or even years before a decision is made after the state-backed turnaround fund, ETIC, which is in charge of deciding whether Japan Airlines should be propped up with public money, made it known that any decision on its overseas partner should be taken in co-ordination with new management.
An official told Reuters that ETIC planned to inject about ¥300bn (£2bn) of fresh capital into the carrier, provided it goes through with the bankruptcy filing and banks agree to waive ¥350bn in debt.

When one of Asia's leading luxury hospitality brands, Alila, first arrived in China, it seemed the pair might make for unlikely bedfellows. Given the sheer size and scale of its population and its many vast metropolis, China might well have been considered in direct contradiction with Alila's brand philosophy; immersive experiences melded into an undisturbed and pristine panorama. They reign supreme when it comes to offering seamless luxury with the minimum of disturbance to Mother Nature.
However, the alliance has worked and Alila's first Chinese project, planted deep in the heart of the country's first National Ecological park, in the northwestern area of Zhejiang's Anji County, is thriving. It's an area is known for its lush, bamboo groves, sweeping mountain vistas and tea hills. In fact, it's where director Ang Lee chose to shoot his Oscar-winning movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. What better way, then, to enjoy the area's beauty than from the sky with the new Sky Safari?
Kim Jones' Safari-Inspired Collection
Prior to this new package which includes stay, safari and spa, the area beyond the property was only really the vestige of the most accomplished backpackers and hardcore trekkers. Now, with Alila's alliance with the local airport and Easy Tours, access and views of these fabulous vistas are available to the layman.
There's two ways to take the trip – helicopter or single wing propeller engine plane (the Robinson R44 chopper and the 90s engineered Cirrus SR20 monoplane). Both are equally exhilarating, and both are up-to-the-minute when it comes to aviation safety and comfort. The only caveat being that either craft are strictly limited to pilot plus three, so best enjoyed as small family gatherings or anniversaries.
Check-in to Chengdu, China: It's the best time for a stay at The Temple House
The tours do differ slightly depending on the craft you choose, too. The mono plane giving you a longer 15-minute sweeping bird's eye flight over Tianzi Lake and nearby town, Zhangwu. Those with the flying bug can also play co-pilot for a duration of the flight. The chopper, on the other hand, whips over the terrain at much lower altitudes of around 300 meters, for an up close and personal view of the flora and fauna.
The property, like all its sister destinations across Asia, focuses on architecture that is culturally befitting of the area. In Alila Anji's case, the spacious lake-view villas are arranged to resemble a typical village of the province. Cuisine and gourmet dining at Alila also draw heavily on local recipes, styles and tastes of the region. Valid until 30 June, the Sky Safari package includes two nights villa accommodation, a bespoke flying experience and a complimentary Alila Living facial mask treatment. At just one-hour's road journey from Tianzi Lake Airport, now could be time the right time to go get your jungle on.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get to the Q&A with John Haymes Newton, but I did catch up with him during one of his autograph sessions inside the Metropolis Chamber of Commerce.
This was the first time meeting him in person, as John was a special guest on our old "Radio KAL Live!" show a few years ago. He's a great guy, stepping away from his table to have a quick word with me.
Thanks to Ken Sills for the video.
John looks good for his age. According to Wikipedia he now resides in Boulder, CO. And I remember watching Superboy. His first couple of seasons were on WNBC-TV channel 4, before going over to WWOR-TV Channel 9 here in the New York area.

South Africa Making Progress in Eliminating FMD
SOUTH AFRICA - South Africa is making commendable progress in maintaining its Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) free zone status, says Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Senzeni Zokwana.
The Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, together with the provincial governments of Limpopo, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal, have finalised discussions on infrastructure, specifically fencing and dipping tanks.
The infected and protection zones are only found in the demarcated areas of Limpopo, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal provinces.
Minister Zokwana said on Monday that last month, the Scientific Commission for Animal Diseases (SCAD) of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) affirmed that South Africa has made commendable progress to comply with the relevant requirements for the maintenance of its FMD free status.
"The SCAD made additional recommendations with regard to the separate dipping days in the FMD protection zone and the high surveillance area of the free zone in KwaZulu-Natal, that the dipping of cattle from the protection zone must be [done] after the cattle from the free zone.
"They also took note of the actions taken at the relevant abattoirs that slaughter animals from the protection zone, but would need clarification on how the veterinary services will ensure compliance and provide training to abattoir staff," he said.
Minister Zokwana said they remain vigilant in dealing with the issues of FMD and its impact on the livestock sector remains. He said next year, the first batch of veterinarians will be deployed to assist in expanding the footprint in dealing with animal health issues.
Fencing and dipping tanks
As part of safeguarding animal health, Minister Zokwana said repair and maintenance of fencing is taking place on the South African/Zimbabwe border, where more than 40 kilometres of border fencing has been completed.
As a temporary measure, cattle from the protection zones and the high surveillance area of the free zone in KwaZulu-Natal are now dipped on separate days.
He said for a more permanent solution on the issue, KwaZulu-Natal has prioritised funding to construct 10 further dip tanks starting this month.
The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has also committed to construct the fences on the eastern boundary of Ndumo Game Reserve in an effort to prevent buffalo and cattle contact. The project is expected to be completed in June.
Minister Zokwana said standard operating procedures (SOPs) have been developed to address the handling of carcasses in abattoirs that slaughter animals that originate from protection zones.
Currently, Limpopo will manage the two abattoirs that are slaughtering such animals, while the KwaZulu-Natal abattoir is still under construction.
FMD vaccine
The Minister said a total of 300 000 doses of FMD vaccine were ordered from Botswana Vaccine Institute and distributed to Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces.
He said vaccination of cattle is in progress and is expected to be completed by the end of March 2015.
"A further 300 000 doses were also requested to be produced by Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute (OVI) and the batch is expected to be delivered in April this year. Studies to assess the efficacy of the FMD vaccine are being carried out by OVI and a final report is expected soon," he said.
FMD signboards
Mpumalanga and Kwazulu-Natal have already started erecting FMD signboards at all major roads that pass through the different FMD control zones and the project is expected to be finalised by the end of this month.
Limpopo has already put up all their signs (40 signs at 20 entry/exit points), while the red line fence construction in KwaZulu-Natal is progressing well and will be finalised by the end of May this year.
FMD is one of the most contagious animal diseases and causes deaths mainly in young animals through inflammation of the heart muscle.

A large red crystal is a rare, naturally-generated resource that looks like a long red crystal protruding vertically from a clumpy base of smaller red crystals. This item stands two blocks high and one block wide, and has full collision, except it cannot contain liquids. You can find this item in the Resources section of inventory.
The only way to obtain large red crystals is either to mine them in hell or deep biomes (the only two biomes where they generate naturally in underground caves) or to trade for them in a market world.
Unlike small red crystals, large red crystals are not an ingredient in any crafting recipe. Their end use is often decorative, but due to their rarity, they sometimes serve as a standard of currency in trading as well.
Large red crystals were first introduced in Spring of 2014, and for the first year or so they had unique collision features: they would stop mobs but not players or projectiles. Many structures and building competition entries from that era used them as the background decorative items that they seemed to be, as openings to mob farms (since they would keep mobs in but allow player gunfire through), or as clever doorways to pet or android enclosures (since they would keep pets in but allow players to pass through).
Sometime in mid-2015, this collision was changed so that large crystals of all types had the same collision as small ones. As a result, many structures that had used them as decorative background items became suddenly impassable. Sadly, some of these structures are in competition worlds, where they are permanently preserved in their un-navigable states, since once the building phase of a competition ends, the competition worlds lock down and players are unable to go back and make any changes.


Can permissions be set on map services?
My goal is to create an application where services can only be accessed by those with certain permissions, much akin to ArcGIS Online web-maps, however I would like it so that when a user pings the URL where the map services is being consumed, that a log-in box appears that references ArcGIS Server?
The services can be configured to enable/disable the capabilities and operations they expose.
Users can be authenticated using token authentication, or integrated Windows authentication, if a Web Adaptor is being used in the site configuration.


Whilst some of us enjoyed watching England, and in particular watching our own players shine during the international break, clearly a start for the talented Hudson-Odoi doesn't excite everyone at Chelsea, so he's unlikely to need his boots on as early today.
Saying we've struggled away from home this season is like saying Teresa May has struggled with Brexit – it's so old hat, it's sleep inducing now – so whilst a fifth defeat in six away is unthinkable, it's hardly unlikely.
Cardiff's hopes in the league might be slim but they had a win against West Ham last time out and they're exactly the sort of side we deal with badly. Sarri is like a 14-year old boy when it comes to doing his homework, so you could put money on him questioning post-match why we started okay but fell apart second half, despite 71% of their points being won at home and 17 of their last 21 top-flight goals coming in the second half this season.
It's in his hands today – and that's what worries me!
Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri meanwhile, says "We are working well in training, the only thing that is important is the reaction during the match. They (Cardiff) are physical and dangerous in the opposition match. We need to defend very high and far from our box. Otherwise it will be a problem." As for his comments on CHO, we'll give them a miss.
For Cardiff, Callum Paterson (ankle). Sol Bamba (knee) and Matthew Connolly (ankle) are all out. The game will also come too soon for Jazz Richards.
For Chelsea, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Ethan Ampadu both have back problems although realistically, neither of them would have started anyway. Davide Zappacosta's ankle problem will be assessed, presumably to see how he'd handle spending the game on the bench. Callum Hudson-Odoi unfortunately, will be lucky to get more than a 15-minute sub slot despite impressing for England in Montenegro.
Cardiff have not beaten Chelsea in the top flight since 1961.
Cardiff have lost 16 successive Premier League games against the sides currently in the top six since November 2013.
A win would give Cardiff their highest Premier League points tally.
Cardiff have scored 17 of their last 21 top-flight goals in the second half.
Chelsea have lost six of eight Premier League games this season when they have conceded the opening goal.
Chelsea have lost four of their five top-flight away games in 2019.
Chelsea have not kept a Premier League clean sheet outside of London since October.

Eynsham: Charities for the poor
Charities for the poor (fn. 14)
St. Thomas's bread charity, sometimes referred to as the poor's estate, was an amalgamation of many small charities administered by the churchwardens and overseers. In 1658 the poor's stock of £58, presumably made up of earlier charitable donations, was invested in c. 2 a. of pasture near Mill Street, later Poor's close, the site of the workhouse. A Commission of Charitable Uses in 1701 nominated trustees to call in and invest in land £66 acquired from Catherine Butler (d. 1682, £5 by gift), Francis Perrott (£10 by will proved 1684), Christopher Maund (£10 by will proved 1697), Eleanor Fulkes (d. 1699, £6 by gift), and recent gifts of £30 by George Castell of Tunbridge Wells (Kent) and £5 by William Wilkins of London. The income was to be distributed to the poor with special care that five widows benefited from the Butler charity. (fn. 15) In 1711 £86 from those and other charities were invested in Bitterall close. Meadow in Spareacre (c. 3a.) was purchased with £200 given as a bread charity by Edward Goddard of London by will of 1709. In 1753 the charities of George Castell (£10 by will proved 1739), (fn. 16) John Wise (£10 by will of 1729), and Anne Ayres (£10 for widows by will of 1752) were used, with c. £15 from the sale of timber from charity lands, to buy meadow in Mill mead. In 1770 a further £44 was spent on a close and orchard near Spareacre.
By 1787 a total of £376 had been laid out in land producing £9 16s. for the poor: (fn. 17) the estate represented all the above-named donations, together with sums of £10 each given by Joan Blackman (? d. 1635), (fn. 18) Joan Olive (fl. 1652), John Green (will proved 1653), (fn. 19) and James Quartermain (will proved 1704), (fn. 20) and £5 each from Stephen and Margaret Wise, Thomas Smith, and Richard Berry at unknown dates, and from Richard Castell (? d. 1705), Susannah Saywell (will proved 1707), George Knapp (will proved 1711), and Thomas Wastie of Cowley (fl. mid 18th century). (fn. 21) The St. Thomas's fund also received rent charges of 5s. given as a bread charity for 10 poor widows by John Wastie (will of 1667), (fn. 22) and 5s. from the Bolds (later Bowles farm) granted by Richard Castell in 1694 to be given to the poor on Good Friday; there was also a stock of £10 for 10 poor widows given by Esther Bartholomew (will proved 1762). (fn. 23)
In 1786 it was decided to raise the rent of the poor's estate and distribute bread at the rate of £1 worth each week from Christmas until Lady Day; lists of those qualified for bread were drawn up by the vestry. (fn. 24) Not all the above benefactions were for bread, notably those of Richard Castell (1694), George Castell, Esther Bartholomew, and probably several others, which were meant to be distributed in cash on Good Friday: in the later 18th century the overseers regularly disbursed 'Good Friday money' arising from benefactions which had been invested in a house which they may have been using as a poor house. (fn. 25) At inclosure in 1802 annual payments to the Eynsham commoners of £2 12s. 6d. from Twelve Acre farm and £1 1s. from Newfield farm, to free those lands from common rights, were turned into rent charges paid into the St. Thomas's fund. (fn. 26) After inclosure the poor's estate comprised c. 18 a., which in 1823 was let for c. £45; with the rent charges and 15s. a year from the Esther Bartholomew and Catherine Butler charities the total income of the St. Thomas's charity was over £50, from which £6 was held back for cash payments to poor widows and widowers, and the rest distributed in bread on nine Sundays after Christmas.
Another bread charity was given by John Bartholomew (will proved 1701), who charged his estate with the provision of a 3d. loaf weekly to each of 10 poor widows or widowers. (fn. 27) By 1823 the estate, though divided, yielded £6 10s. a year which was distributed in cash on the distribution days of St. Thomas's charity and in bread on the other Sundays; arrangements were unchanged in 1852 but by 1871 the £6 10s. was administered with the St. Thomas's charity. (fn. 28)
Thomas Walker (will of 1789) gave the income from £100 to provide bread. A plan of 1814 to sell the stock for a parish fire engine and fund the charity from the overseers' accounts (fn. 29) seems not to have been implemented, and in 1823 the income of £4 4s. 6d. a year was distributed in bread on Sundays when there was no St. Thomas's charity distribution. The charity was linked with two other bread charities, £40 given by Thomas Castell in 1830 and £100 by Robert Day in 1831, and all were invested in stock yielding c. £7 10s. in 1852; by 1871 the stock of £235 was absorbed in the St. Thomas's account. (fn. 30)
In 1852 the income of the St. Thomas's charity, with balances from the other bread charities, was c. £57, of which £7 was disbursed on Good Friday and at Whitsun, presumably to poor widows and widowers; there were four large distributions of bread in January. (fn. 31) In 1871 the income of the St. Thomas's charity (excluding the £6 10s. from John Bartholomew's charity) was c. £71. (fn. 32)
Several other charities not recorded by 1871 may have been merged in the St. Thomas's fund. A bread charity of 10s. a year was given by Joseph Druce (will proved 1822) and another of £5 was given by Elizabeth Scarsbrook (will proved 1819). (fn. 33) The income from £100 left by James Lord (d. 1809) to provide coal or bread was being distributed in bread in 1823 but was recorded as lost in 1871.
Another lost charity was that of Francis Wastie (will of 1775), who gave the interest of £10 to clothe two fatherless children; in 1823 the interest had not been paid for 30 years, and although an agreement was made over arrears the charity was not recorded thereafter.
A bread charity was given by Elizabeth West (will of 1638) and her brother and executor John Walter (will proved 1640), who left an estate at Appleton (formerly Berks.) in trust for the poor of Witney, Standlake, and Eynsham; Eynsham received a quarter share of the charity. In the 1650s the income, spent on bread, was usually between £2 and £3 but rents rose (fn. 34) and in the late 18th century Eynsham's share was between £6 and £7 half-yearly. (fn. 35) In 1823 bread worth c. £17 was distributed on Sundays when there was no St. Thomas's distribution. In 1852 and 1871 Eynsham's share of the Appleton rent was c. £20. (fn. 36) The estate was sold in 1931 and the capital invested. (fn. 37)
At inclosure in 1802 Foxley farm (c 83 a.) was awarded as a fuel allotment to the poor in compensation for their former common rights; (fn. 38) the rent was distributed in coal on St. Thomas's day. The rent fell from c. £125 to £70 by the 1820s, (fn. 39) and later fluctuated from £185 in 1863 to only £86 in 1890. (fn. 40)
From the 1860s the administration of Eynsham's charities caused bitter dispute. In 1865 the vicar, W. S. Bricknell, refused to produce accounts of the bread and coal charities for the previous six years, (fn. 41) and shortly afterwards came to blows at a meeting of the Bartholomew charity trustees. (fn. 42) In 1873 Bricknell's leading opponent, Joseph Druce, secured a Chancery investigation and under threat of prison Bricknell eventually rendered accounts in 1875; (fn. 43) quarrels over the charities continued into the 1880s. (fn. 44) A Scheme of 1878 amalgamated the St. Thomas's charity with the fuel allotment and directed that bread distributions should be phased out and income devoted to the sick poor; to pensions, to educational purposes, and to provident institutions. The fuel allotment was to be distributed in coal. (fn. 45) During the next ten years up to £95 a year were spent on coal, up to £75 on education, and up to £25 on the sick poor and donations to local hospitals. (fn. 46) In 1911 the charity commissioners rejected the parish council's plea that the fuel allotment was not a charity, (fn. 47) and under a revised Scheme transferred £400 from the St. Thomas's charity into a separate educational foundation, leaving the Consolidated Charities with an income of c. £217 for the general benefit of the poor. (fn. 48) The distribution of bread and fuel continued; grants for tools, false teeth, and spectacles were made, but in recent times cash payments to old age pensioners were favoured. (fn. 49) After various land sales, notably that of Foxley farm in 1923 and the Appleton estate in 1931, (fn. 50) the Consolidated Charities by 1970 retained only 4 a. of land and rent charges of less than £5; investment income, however, rose to £995 by 1979.
