AMPLEFORTH
Manors
Advowson
Ambreford (xi cent.).
This parish covers an area of 2,420 acres and was until 1887 divided into three townships: Ampleforth St. Peter, Ampleforth Oswaldkirk and Ampleforth Birdforth. Though undulating, the land slopes generally downward from the moors in the north of the parish to Thorpe Beck, which forms the southern boundary. The greater part of the land is moorland or pasture, but 35 acres are covered with woods (fn. 1) and 875 acres are arable, (fn. 2) oats, wheat and barley being grown. The soil is Kimmeridge clay and gravel. There are brick and tile works by the Holbeck, south of the village and beyond the mill. (fn. 3)
The village of Ampleforth lies east and west along the road from Oswaldkirk to Coxwold upon the northern slopes of the Vale of Mowbray. The church of St. Hilda stands in its churchyard a little distance to the south of the village street, at about its central point. The houses are mostly built of stone with tiled roofs and are of no particular architectural interest.
Between Oswaldkirk and Ampleforth, about a quarter of a mile east of Ampleforth, is St. Laurence's Abbey, known as Ampleforth College. The abbey is situated on the slopes of the valley to the south of the road. An embattled footbridge with a two-centred drop arch spans the road near the main entrance. In 1764 Dom John Bolton, a Benedictine, went to Gilling Castle as chaplain to the Hon. Anne Fairfax, (fn. 4) and shortly before her death in 1793 she built him a house and small chapel at Ampleforth, to which he removed the same year. (fn. 5) He sheltered certain French refugees whose college of Dieulouard had been confiscated during the Revolution, and these Benedictine fathers opened a school here in 1802 with two pupils; there is now accommodation for 120 boys. The buildings are of stone with slate roofs, designed in a version of Monastic Gothic. Recent additions have been made on the western side. The village and college lie about 400 ft. above ordnance datum, but north of them the land rises steeply to the moors, across which runs the ancient High Street. Close to this is the earthwork known as Studford Ring, and there are many tumuli in the neighbourhood. West of Studford Ring (fn. 6) and running north and south are the intrenchments known as Double Dykes. Certain of the common lands here were inclosed by consent in 1628, (fn. 7) and a further inclosure was made in 1803–4. (fn. 8)
Archbishopric of York. Gules St. Peter's crossed keys argent with the mitre of the pope or in the chief.
In 1086 the Archbishop of York held a 'manor' and 3 carucates in AMPLEFORTH which had once belonged to Ulf (fn. 9); these lands were afterwards accounted as in the liberty of St. Peter. (fn. 10) On the institution of the prebendal system in the cathedral church of York soon after 1150 the prebend of Ampleforth was formed and endowed with this fee, 10 oxgangs of which were held in demesne. (fn. 11) The manor has continued to form part of the corpus of this prebend, (fn. 12) and is now vested in the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.
In 1285 certain lands here were in the fee of Mowbray. (fn. 13) They are probably to be identified with that carucate which in 1086 was soke of Coxwold. (fn. 14) Possibly some land not mentioned in the Survey may have been in the fee of Mortain, for in 1285 a mesne lordship was held by the lords of Helmsley (q.v.) and a tenancy in demesne by the heir of William de Surdeval, (fn. 15) whose manor of Oswaldkirk (q.v.) extended into Ampleforth.
Roos. Gules three water bougets argent.
Manners. Or two bars azure and a quartered chief of azure and gules with two fleurs de lis or in the azure and a leopard of England in the gules.
Although at the close of the 13th century the lords of Helmsley do not appear to have been holding land here in demesne, they certainly did so at the close of the 15th century, for in 1465 the Crown granted four messuages and 8 oxgangs here late of Thomas Lord Roos to Ingram Lepton for life, (fn. 16) and in 1473 a like grant of four messuages, 66 acres, &c., was made to Sir John Pickering. (fn. 17)
In 1562 the Earl of Rutland granted a manor in Ampleforth to Thomas Fox, (fn. 18) from whose son Nicholas it passed to Richard Vaughan in 1608 (fn. 19); he died seised in 1624, leaving the manor to Edward son of Richard Jones of Westwick, a minor. (fn. 20) He held it in 1651 with William Hardestie and conveyed it to Beatrice widow of Thomas Hassall, (fn. 21) rector of Seamer. From her it had passed in 1745 to the two daughters of Thomas Hassall, (fn. 22) Dorothy, the wife of James Arbuthnot, and Elizabeth Hassall. (fn. 23) Dorothy Arbuthnot had a daughter Dorothy, who married William Comber, (fn. 24) and held a moiety of the manor in 1765 and 1777. (fn. 25) William Comber died without heirs in 1810, (fn. 26) three years after the death of his wife.
William de Surdeval, who held lands in the neighbouring parish of Oswaldkirk, also held part of Ampleforth under the Roos family. (fn. 27) He gave land to Byland Abbey between 1142 and 1196, as did also his son Roger. (fn. 28) This son may possibly have died during the lifetime of his father, for on the death of William de Surdeval his lands were divided between his two daughters, Maud and Emma, Ampleforth evidently falling to Maud's share. (fn. 29) She married Peter de Jarpenville, who also held lands in Oswaldkirk (q.v.). In 1227 he sued his brother-in-law William de Barton for half a messuage there. (fn. 30) In 1285 John de Jarpenville held Ampleforth. (fn. 31) He had a son Ralph, and in 1343 William de Jarpenville, probably a son of Ralph, held Ampleforth, and Hugh, possibly another brother, had lands in Oswaldkirk. (fn. 32)
After this all trace of the family disappears. They seem to have intermarried with the Pickerings, their pedigrees becoming very much involved. In 1427 Richard Pickering was holding both Ampleforth and Oswaldkirk (fn. 33) (q.v.), and the two manors follow the same descent till 1542, (fn. 34) when Sir William Pickering died seised of both. (fn. 35) His manor of Ampleforth seems to have come with that of Beadlam (q.v.) into the possession of Henry Earl of Rutland, who held it in 1557–8. (fn. 36) It passed with Beadlam to Charles Duncombe. (fn. 37)
In 1832 Frances, elder daughter of Charles Duncombe first Lord Feversham, married Sir Thomas Digby Legard, evidently bringing him the lands in Ampleforth as her dower. (fn. 38) In 1889 Major (afterwards Colonel) Legard was holding these lands, which he sold in 1903 to Mr. Shaw of Welburn Hall. In October 1908 the property was sold to Mr. W. S. Hunter of Gilling Castle. (fn. 39)
Duncombe. Party cheveronwise and engrailed gules and argent three talbots' heads razed and countercoloured.
A manor in Ampleforth was in the hands of Sir Nicholas Fairfax of Gilling in 1565, and followed the descent of that manor. (fn. 40) In 1852 (fn. 41) Charles Gregory Fairfax of Gilling Castle was lord of the manor and also in 1872. Soon after this the Fairfax lands passed into the hands of the Abbot of Ampleforth College, which had been originally founded by the Hon. Anne Fairfax, who died in 1793 (fn. 42); they are now held by the Abbot of Ampleforth. (fn. 43)
Basset. Gules a bend argent with three scallops azure thereon.
The carucate of land in the Mowbray fee here was in 1285 in the possession of Byland Abbey. (fn. 44) Ralph and Roger de Surdeval made grants to this house, possibly giving it the service of Peter Basset and William son of Huicte for 1 carucate. (fn. 45) Nearly all the possessions of the house in Ampleforth were granted in 1543 to the see of York, (fn. 46) and are now vested in the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. Most of the Byland land here, however, was held by tenants in the 13th century. Nicholas Basset, who lived at the beginning of that century, (fn. 47) was followed by Nicholas Basset, probably his grandson (nepos), who held 2 carucates of this fee for suit of court. (fn. 48) He was succeeded by Margery Basset, whose lands here were granted in 1251 to William son of Ralph by Nicholas de Den' and Robert de Leicester. (fn. 49) William was succeeded by a son Ralph, who held half a carucate in 1285 (fn. 50) and was summoned to Parliament as Lord Grey of Greystock. (fn. 51) In 1202 Nicholas Basset sub-enfeoffed Walter de London in half a carucate. (fn. 52) William de London, possibly a son, was holding land here (fn. 53) in 1250. He was followed by another Walter, tenant of half a carucate in 1285, (fn. 54) and by Adam de London, tenant in 1316. (fn. 55) The latter died in 1361, his son and heir John being two years old. (fn. 56) There is no further mention of the family, but the holding may possibly be identified with the half carucate which Henry IV obtained from Thomas de Garton and John de Carleton, clerks, feoffees of John de Kirton, clerk, and granted in 1408 to the Prioress and convent of Moxby. (fn. 57) This identification is supported by the fact that a mill belonging to Adam de London in 1361 was afterwards in the possession of Moxby Priory. (fn. 58) In 1534 the prioress leased to Henry Jennings a capital messuage and 4 oxgangs of land for thirty-one years. (fn. 59) In 1539 the lands of Moxby in Ampleforth were leased to Sir William Pickering by the king. (fn. 60) Although the site of Moxby and most of the lands belonging to it were granted in exchange to Edward Lee, Archbishop of York, in 1543, (fn. 61) there is no mention in the grant of the nuns' possessions in Ampleforth. The water-mill with a cottage was granted in 1611 to Felix Wilson and Robert Morgan. (fn. 62)
Another tenant of Byland was Geoffrey del Bek, who held 1 carucate in 1285. (fn. 63) Seisin of his land was given by John del Bek to Robert de Ampleforth and his wife Isabel in the next reign. (fn. 64)
Cottages in Ampleforth which belonged to Byland Abbey at the time of the Dissolution were granted in 1545 to John Broxholme and John Bellow. (fn. 65)
Early in the 18th century John Sotheran held freehold property in Ampleforth; he died in 1720, leaving a son Thomas, who died in 1767 and was followed by a son John. John's will, proved in 1782, leaves two freehold closes and certain copyhold tenements in Ampleforth to his youngest son Thomas. (fn. 66) This property remained in the Sotheran family and is now in the hands of John Gerald Sotheran.
Edward I granted free warren to the Abbot of Byland, who also had infangentheof; this is the only liberty mentioned in connexion with Ampleforth. (fn. 67)
The church of ST. HILDA consists of a chancel measuring internally 23 ft. 2 in. by 16 ft. 10 in., nave 53 ft. 8 in. by 18 ft. 2 in., a north aisle, west tower and south porch.
The original aisleless nave appears to date from about the middle of the 12th century. The only details now remaining of this period are the north doorway, the stones of which have been reset in the north wall of the modern aisle, and the tower arch. The south doorway is later, and is a good example of early 13th-century work. The chancel appears to have been rebuilt late in the 13th century, and new windows were at the same time inserted in the nave walls. The tower seems to have been rebuilt in the 16th century. The north aisle was added and the north arcade of the nave formed about forty years ago. The walls have been repaired and refaced in modern times.
The east window is modern and of three uncusped lights. A modern arch in the north wall opens into the organ chamber. In the south wall are two late 13th-century windows of two uncusped lights, the eastern with uncusped spandrel, while in the western the spandrel is unpierced, and apparently filled in with a fragment of a tomb slab, a cross being plainly distinguishable. Between these windows is a modern priest's doorway. The chancel and nave walls being continuous, there is no chancel arch.
Ampleforth Church: 12th-century Doorway
The north arcade of the nave is modern. The eastern window in the south wall of the nave is an original late 13th-century window of two uncusped lights, with a two-centred head, of similar design to those in the south wall of the chancel. The second window is modern, of three uncusped lights. The south doorway is of early 13th-century date, and consists of two round-arched orders with filleted bowtels between two hollows, the outer order having shafted jambs with foliated capitals, while the jambs of the inner order have filleted rolls at the angles, also with foliated capitals. The label is carved with trefoil leaves, and has a head stop to the west and a foliated stop to the east. The south porch is modern. The western window in this wall is also modern, of two uncusped lights with a foliated circle within a two-centred head. The tower arch is of 12th-century date, and consists of two plain orders, the outer order being very shallow and on the nave side only. The abacus of the respond has a hollow chamfer.
The modern north aisle has a two-light window in the east wall; the north wall is lighted by two windows of two lights and one of three lights. The 12th-century doorway which has been reset in this wall, without, however, retaining the opening, has a round beak-moulded external head with a chamfered label. The jambs were originally shafted, but only the capitals, which have abaci with hollow chamfers and are too far decayed to render it possible to distinguish in what manner they were treated, now remain. On the label are carved the signs of the Zodiac. They are contained within circles. Five of these appear never to have been completed, being merely roughed out. Of those completed Taurus, Aries, Scorpio and Pisces can be clearly distinguished. The tower is apparently of late 15th or early 16thcentury date. The belfry windows are of two squareheaded lights, and the west window in the ground stage is of two trefoiled lights. The parapet is embattled with crocketed pinnacles at the angles. The roofs are modern and covered with slates.
The font is apparently of 12th-century date, and consists of a fluted cylindrical bowl and plain stem divided by a chamfered necking, standing on a plinth of similar form.
Against the west wall of the tower are placed the fragments of an early 14th-century effigy of a bearded man wearing what appears to be a quilted shirt, over which is a close-fitting coat. A sword hangs by a belt over his right shoulder, and over his left appear the head and shoulders of a female figure wearing a wimple and a small square cap. The only portion of the inscription now legible is 'Wilelmus.'
The bells were recast in the year 1894.
The plate consists of a silver communion cup, three pewter plates and a pewter flagon. The cup is of 1570, with maker's mark 'R. B.,' for Robert Beckwith of York, but the plates and flagon are not dated.
The registers begin in 1644.
The chapel of St. Hilda at Ampleforth was originally dependent on the mother church of Coxwold. (fn. 68) On obtaining parochial rights it paid a yearly pension of 10s. to the Prior and convent of Newburgh as patrons of Coxwold Church until the middle of the 13th century, when the payment was quitclaimed to the prebendary of Ampleforth, together with all claim on the chapel. (fn. 69) From this time the rectory followed the descent of the prebendal manor (fn. 70) (q.v.), the vicarage, which is said to have been ordained in 1304, (fn. 71) being in the gift of the Archbishop of York. (fn. 72)
Eleemosynary Charities.—Sir Richard Vaughan, at a date unknown, gave 40s. a year for the use of the poor, of which 10s. was for the poor of Oswaldkirk, charged on lands and houses, the chief owners now being Mr. Robert Pearson of Helmsley and Mr. John G. Sotheran of Haxby.
John alias Jordan Sturdy left £100, now £118 13s. 6d. consols, two-thirds of income for poor of Ampleforth, one-third for poor of Oswaldkirk.
Mrs. Dorothy Comber left £100, now £160 consols, income to be divided equally between poor of Ampleforth and Oswaldkirk.
The Poor's Estate consists of 4 a. 3 r. 20 p., known as Hagg Field, let at £4 10s. a year, 1 rood of garden ground let at £2, and a small piece of land let at £1 6s., and of £104 10s. 8d. consols, arising from the sale in 1873 of 2 roods of copyhold land for £80, which, together with £18 debt due to the charity, was in that year paid and invested.
George Smith, by will proved 1868, left £19 10s. to be invested and the income given to one of the poorest householders resident in Ampleforth, Oswaldkirk quarter. It is invested in £20 16s. 1d. consols.
The net income of the charities, amounting to about £18 a year, is distributed in sums varying from 2s. 6d. to 11s.
Educational Charities.—Robert Light, will, 1849, £49 18s. 1d. consols.
Rev. Henry George Wandesford Comber, deed, 1857, for master of National school, now consisting of £248 North Eastern Railway £3 per cent. debenture stock. The aforesaid George Smith left £19 10s. for the same purpose, invested in £20 16s. 1d. consols. The several sums of stock are held by the official trustees.
R. H. Sandeson, by will proved 1889, left twentyone preference shares and £38 four per cent. preference stock in the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company for the benefit of St. Laurence's Roman Catholic College.
1. In the 13th century the prebendary of Ampleforth had a wood in a field called 'le Lodge' (Lawton, Coll. Rerum Eccl. 512), and the woods of Clari, Heselscowe and Almeheved are mentioned (Cott. MS. Claud. B iii, fol. 111b).

This Is How Queen Elizabeth And Prince Philip Dress For Bed
Vianne Burog | Jun 19 2019, 01:25AM EDT
A royal valet has revealed how Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip dress for bed. The valet made the shocking discovery by accident years ago, and Prince Philip seemed not to care at all.
Since Prince Philip retired in 2017, he and Queen Elizabeth have lived apart. The Duke of Edinburgh reportedly decided to leave Buckingham Palace after his retirement to enjoy a peaceful life away from the hullaballoos of royal life. Because he sees Buckingham Palace more like a workplace than a home, he opted for a life away from it and the Queen.
"Unlike most married couples, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh often live miles apart, with Prince Philip spending hardly any time at Buckingham Palace these days," a royal correspondent has revealed.
Despite living separate lives, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip are comfortable with their relationship. This is because even when they were still living together, they already got used to staying in separate bedrooms. Aside from the fact that it's a tradition among the British upper class, the royal couple also finds it a more practical arrangement than sleeping on the same bed.
Back when Prince Philip was still living in Buckingham, he had a connecting bedroom with Queen Elizabeth's bedroom. Once, a royal valet revealed that when he walked into Prince Philip's room, he was surprised and embarrassed to find the royal couple together, with Queen Elizabeth donning a silk nightgown and Prince Philip completely naked.
"Prince Philip didn't care at all," royal valet James MacDonald added. He also recalled how Prince Philip had told him once that it was normal for him not to wear anything during bedtime. "'Pyjamas? Never wear the things,' Prince Philip once said," Macdonald recalled.
This strange habit of Prince Philip is reflected in the Netflix series "The Crown," where Prince Philip portrayer Matt Smith actually strips off for a few bed scenes. "The Crown" centers on the early years of Queen Elizabeth's reign and her marriage to Prince Philip.
"A crucial thing is that Philip sleeps naked," said "The Crown" star Claire Foy. "That was something that we found out. They weren't put in — it's just the fact that there are bed scenes. And what do you do, put Philip in a pair of pyjamas? That's not right for the character," she added.

Glaucoma is a condition where the optic nerve becomes damaged. The optic nerve is the connection between the eye and the brain and is responsible for transmitting the image arriving at the retina back to the brain. Glaucoma is caused in 2/3 cases by an increase in pressure in the fluid that fills up the front chamber of the eye. It is important to have the eye pressure measured on a regular bases, at least every 2 years as damage can be easily prevented by early treatment.
In 1/3 cases the pressure is normal but due to weakness within the optic nerve the nerve is still damaged. For this reason we recommend photographing the retina, which includes the optic nerve as a baseline for future comparison as it is subtle changes to the optic nerve that give us an early warning.
In most cases of glaucoma there is a slow deterioration of peripheral vision which will usually go unnoticed by the patient until it becomes severe, producing "tunnel vision" and eventually total blindness. As early detection, well before you would notice any problem, is vital we recommend regular eye examinations at least every 2 years. If caught early enough treatment is usually simple and effective, requiring ongoing use of eye drops to lower the pressure within the eye. Other treatments may involve laser therapy to improve fluid drainage within the eye or very rarely surgery in intractable cases.


Ever wonder where all those "grassroots" eco-activist groups get their money? If you connect the dots, you'll see that some of that funding is coming from Russia. Vladimir Putin is using American eco-activist groups as useful idiots in his quest to dominate western Europe and become a greater threat to U.S. national security.
The dots are all plain to see on Russian natural gas, Germany, Putin's propaganda money, and Anti-Natural gas activist groups in the United States. Why doesn't the news media connect these big, obvious dots? Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
President Trump has correctly chastised Germany for being overly dependent on Russia for its natural gas and for supporting the Nordstream 2 pipeline, which would double that dependence. The whole reason Germany and other nations are part of NATO is to protect themselves against Russia. So, it's confounding that Germany and other European nations willingly make themselves much more vulnerable to the whims of Vladimir Putin because he can shut the gas off whenever he wants—as he has done before with Ukraine.
At the same time, Russia is giving tens of millions of dollars to Anti-Natural Gas activist groups in the U.S. to stop pipelines, delay infrastructure and to raise concerns over hydraulic fracturing. We highlighted this traitorous alliance of American activist groups and Putin's cash in a previous video.
This issue has enormous geopolitical consequences, but yet the news media is still not interested in how Vladimir Putin is funding U.S. activist groups who act as useful idiots in Putin's quest to dominate western Europe while becoming a greater threat to U.S. national security.


What's the most common profession in Jimboomba? How many two-year-olds live in Beenleigh? What's the average age of the population of Marsden? How do the people of Daisy Hill travel to work?
These, and dozens more questions, can be answered in the Suburb Profiles produced by Logan Together – designed to inform community-based work and provide an insight into the unique patterns in each suburb.
With 217 cultures represented in Logan, as well as city meeting country, and areas of enormous growth, Logan as a whole paints a dizzying picture – which is why, to help guide community activity and planning for business and service investment at the local level, breaking it down to suburb level is so important.
Logan Together Backbone Team's Community Insights and Information Lead Sherena Oxley brought together much of the data in the profiles.
Logan Together Backbone Team director Matthew Cox said the resource was produced to break down the masses of information available about Logan as a city.
"This gives such a great insight into each area of Logan which is so important in such a diverse city with 217 cultures – more than New York City – and a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds and families," he said.
"We have always had lots of data and information at a Logan population level and what people really wanted to do was look at communities within Logan and compare suburbs to assist with work on the ground.
There are currently 30 suburb profiles available on the Logan Together website, with more to come – eventually all of the 68 suburbs will have its own profile available and free for anyone to download.
"We have heard from a range of people who are using it – from students and educators, to workers in the community services sector, to CEOs. They are enormously useful," said Matthew.
The suburb profiles will be renewed periodically, with potentially more information on a suburb level available in future editions.
To access Suburb Profiles as well as more resources generated by the Logan Together movement, go to logantogether.org.au/resources.


This table contains 16 bytes entries for every gift in the game.
First value of the Table, at 04, is a pointer to the rest of the table... So to 0C.
It has 4 unused bytes.
Do note that changing 06 and 07 will change where the gift's sprite is, but not its hitbox location.
=It has different outcomes based on what are the two hex values of the byte. 21 must be examined as 2 and 1. If the first value is even, the gift will display as normal, if it's odd the gift box won't be displayed and it will access a weird moving entity debug mode where the game slows down (Not FPS, the game). It will write various values to the RAM if the gift is collected (the gift can't be seen, but it's still there). If the first value is greater than 8 (included), the box will give DP when it's interacted with. The second value will determine the box's color: if it's 0 or 1, it will be red, if it's 2 it will blue, but the text won't be printed, if it's 3 the color will be blue and it will work as normal, if is 4 or 5 it will glitch all boxes and they won't display sometimes, and last, if it's greater than 6 (included) it will access the strange debug mode from before.
=Dummy byte, the second half of the byte must be set to 0, otherwise you won't be able to interact with the gift box.
[02-03]=The first half of both of these values will determine how many items a box will give, for example, if 02 is 10 and 03 is 20, it will give hex 21, or 33, of one item. The maximum number of items a box can give is 127, or 7F.
-= Map index, since map index hexs go over FF, 05 contains the value that is over FF. Swapping them will give the correct index, so if 04= 5E and 05=03, the map will be 035E.
=The gift box's sprite's X tileset coordinate. It goes from left (00) to right.
=The gift box's sprite's Y tileset coordinate. It goes from top (00) to bottom.
=Hex value of the item in the gift box.
=Changing this from 00 will make the game not show the "X got an item." message.
[0A-0B]=How many DP a gift box will give. For example, if 0A is FF and 0B is 10, the box will give 10FF DP. The maximum value is 65535, FFFF.
[0C-OD]=Unique identifier of the gift box, it's used to check if a box has already been opened, this way an opened box during Flint's Chapter will remain opened during Duster's one because they have the same identifier. 83 is the exception, it's the Wess's Thunder Bomb's gift box.

Warm weather offers me daily grace: I wake in gentle sun, lace up sneakers, buckle helmet, and climb on my bicycle. I pedal through sleepy small-town streets, cruise creekside paths, breathe gratitude with each rotation. Spirit-whispers seem louder here, in birdsong and blue. But as cold sets in and dark days gather, I sometimes feel unmoored by morning. Anxiety stirs. I struggle to hear Spirit over my mind's chatter. This winter I will form fresh intention: to greet day with my art journal, another calming sanctuary where prayer is louder than worry. Perhaps here, too, Grace will guide.

Old Man Danny Watkins is Eagles 1st Round Pick
Danny Watkins, Eagles number one pick. Savior to the woeful right guard spot. But at 26 years old (27 in November), Watkins is one of the oldest players to be selected in the first round ever.
Outside of his age, this looks like a solid pick by the Eagles. As I've written on multiple occasions, they needed help along the offensive line more than anywhere outside of perhaps cornerback. And after only four years of playing football, Watkins already has shown the talent to be a first round selection. Certainly there is a lot of potential for offensive line gurus Andy Reid and Howard Mudd to tap into. Plus, everyone praises the former fireman's work ethic and maturity.
But of course, there is the small matter of age. Even if Watkins becomes a Pro Bowler, his upside is limited. His second contract wouldn't come until he was over the age of 30. That's not a deal-breaker — 44 offensive linemen over the age of 30 started at least 10 games in 2010. But it is by far the biggest downside of the selection.
Below are the scouting reports on Watkins from various draft experts and the selection they projected him to be picked in their most recent mock drafts.
Rick Gosselin, Dallas Morning News (#28 overall, to New England):
Watkins is the safest pick in the entire draft - the one player you can confidently say will be in the Pro Bowl in 2012. He's the best guard on the board, and some NFL teams were looking at him as both a center and tackle. (source)
Mel Kiper Jr., ESPN (#32 overall, to Green Bay):
He's an interesting guy with his size and the versatility he provides. He's going to continue to get better because they coach you up in the NFL. With the guard group not being particularly strong, that helps him a lot. It wouldn't shock me if he went in the second or third round when all is said and done. (source)
Mike Mayock, NFL Network (#21 overall, to Kansas City):
I put the tape on and he jumped out at me. He's heavy-handed [meaning Watkins 'punches' well], he finishes, and he's nasty; he reminds me a lot of the [John] Moffitt kid from Wisconsin. I look at the two of them and I think they're both interior starters. I think they're centers or guards, and they're starters in the league… has been coached really well… he can bend and he's really naturally strong. He's got what they call a 6-inch punch, and he can jar you with that 6 inches. " (source)
Todd McShay, ESPN (#25 overall, to Seattle):
I think Danny Watkins fits in immediately as a starter and you look at his make-up: he's a tough, physical, nasty offensive guard that's going to upgrade this team in the run game and also help in terms of pass protection. (source)
Tommy Lawlor, Scout's Notebook & Iggles Blitz:
Probably the most interesting prospect in the whole draft… Spent both years [at Baylor] as the starting LT. Did a solid job there, but projects inside in the NFL. Doesn't have the athletic ability or footwork for playing OT. Looks like a natural fit at G. Watkins is a tenacious blocker. He goes to the whistle. Or the echo of the whistle. Anchors well. Able to re-set when he is initially driven back. Sinks his hips and plays with good leverage. Feet are fine for playing in a tight space (like G or C). Also has a mentality that fits well at G. Sort of a bully. Likes to find a defender and really mash on him. Uses his hands pretty well. Still raw, but seems very coachable.
Older than teams prefer, but a real good player and the kind of guy that teams love. Should go in the early 2nd round. (source)
Wes Bunting, National Football Post (#19 overall, to New York Giants):
Watkins is… a strong anchor player, moves his feet well through contact, has the ability to play both guard spots and even some right tackle. I fully expect him to come in and start at a high level from day one. It's not the sexiest of selections, but I love the pick and think he can be one of the better guards in the NFL early in his career. (source)

Comics to Screen: A Look at Captain America – The First Avenger
August 11, 2011 Comics, New ReleasesMatthew Turner
by Matthew Turner
Our reviewer denies being paid by Marvel
Warning: This post contains SPOILERS for Captain America: The First Avenger and is intended to be read after you've seen the film.
Having written comics-to-screen pieces for this blog on both Thor and X-Men: First Class, it seemed only fair to give Captain America the same treatment. I talked at length in the Thor piece about the challenges faced by filmmakers in transferring a lesser-known superhero to the big screen for the first time and, in my opinion, Captain America director Joe Johnston (who made The Rocketeer, which is very close to my heart) has done the best possible job, both in terms of introducing the character to a new audience and in giving pre-existing fans everything they could possibly want from a Captain America movie.
Nerd credentials first: my comics knowledge of Captain America falls somewhere between my knowledge of classic era X-Men (fairly high) and my knowledge of Thor (fairly low). I definitely remember reading several American Captain America comics in the 1980s (specifically this one, with Dragon Man) and I'm pretty sure Captain America stories were serialised in black and white British reprints, which gives me a fairly solid grounding in the character's history. So, while I'm not the world's biggest Cap super-fan, I was better placed to spot the various references than I was with Thor.
I won't go into Cap's history and background too deeply (after all, that's what Wikipedia is for), but suffice it to say that the character was created as a deliberately patriotic character by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby for Timely Comics, the forerunner of Marvel. Captain America Comics #1 appeared in December 1940 – though the issue is cover-dated March 1941 – with an iconic cover image of Cap punching Hitler in the face. This cover is brilliantly worked into the film, but the thing to note is that Cap first appeared almost a year before America entered the war.
WANK!
I read the original 1940s origin story recently (it's been reprinted in one of those Definitive Captain America movie cash-in collections) and I was struck by how incredibly closely the film sticks to the 1940s version, right down to the fake shop-front. Behind that fake shop-front is the secret laboratory where puny army reject Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is transformed into a faster, stronger (and taller) super-soldier by Doctor Abraham Erskine's super-soldier serum. At which point Erskine (Stanley Tucci) is immediately killed by a Nazi spy, thus ensuring that no-one can duplicate the super-serum (because Erskine has conveniently committed the crucial formula to memory). That scene and the subsequent, lengthy chase sequence where Steve suddenly discovers just how powerful he's become, is probably the film's best action set-piece.
In terms of giving die-hard Captain America fans what they want from a Captain America movie, I think the list would basically boil down to 1) Cap facing a classic villain; 2) appearances from notable supporting characters; and 3) Cap chucking his shield/using his shield in battle in as many different ways as possible. In the first instance, Cap does indeed face THE classic Cap villain in the shape of the Red Skull, who dates all the way to the very first issue of Captain America, when he was just a Nazi in a red skull mask as opposed to the mutated-by-red-dust figure he became later. As a comics nerd, one of my favourite things about the film was the way they completely nailed the genuinely scary look of the original Red Skull drawings. Compare that with the hideous job the first Spider-Man film did with the Green Goblin and you'll see exactly how badly that could have gone. (As a film nerd, I also loved Hugo Weaving's film-long impression of Werner Herzog, but let's move on.) It is worth noting, however, that the Skull's origin has been tweaked for the film in order to more closely dovetail with Cap's – here he is mutated and disfigured by an early version of Erskine's super-serum rather than by his own Red Dust.
Rupert Murdoch as The Red Skull in Captain America: The First Avenger
I'm not a big enough Cap fan to be familiar with his entire cast of supporting characters – I could have named Erskine and
Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), but not ass-kicking love interest Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), or grizzled army honcho Colonel Chester Phillips (Tommy Lee Jones) or Nazi genius Dr Arnim Zola (Toby Jones). Meanwhile, the Dominic Cooper's Howard-Hughesesque inventor Howard Stark – Tony Stark's dad – has obviously been shoe-horned in in order to provide some crossover with Iron Man. Peggy doesn't seem to have been much of a fixture in the comics and her role has been significantly beefed up for the film, but it's worth noting that the modern-day, unnamed SHIELD agent glimpsed briefly at the end of the film (played by Amanda Righetti) is meant to be Sharon Carter, who is both a major Cap love interest and presumably, here, Peggy's grand-daughter or grand-niece. At any rate, Righetti is credited as Sharon Carter for the Avengers movie, so I suspect we'll be seeing more of her.
Not that you couldn't have guessed anyway (at least, if you've ever seen a film before), but the one thing I did know for sure was that Bucky wasn't going to make it to the final reel, since Bucky's death is – or used to be; he's alive again now, apparently – a big part of Cap's history. Bucky's been significantly changed for the movie too. In the comics, he's a Robin-like costumed sidekick; in the movie he's Steve's idolised and possibly slightly older best friend. Pleasingly, he meets his death here in more or less the canonical way: taking a heroic plunge off a moving object in order to save Cap's life. In the comics he was trapped on a runaway missile and died in the same accident that saw Cap plunged into suspended animation. (More interestingly, he was apparently killed off because of Stan Lee's dislike for the whole teen sidekick thing.)
Aside from the inevitable appearance of Samuel L Jackson as Colonel Nick Fury at the end, Captain America also features a handful of other fan-pleasing cameos, notably the Howling Commandos and the original Human Torch, whom Cap passes briefly in the Future Fair scene. The Human Torch is another 40s superhero who had his own comic, but he was also part of a super-group called The Invaders, and fought alongside Cap and Bucky in a series of 40s-set flashback tales that were written in the 1960s. It's also a neat little in-joke, because Chris Evans played the second, unrelated- to-the-original version of The Human Torch in the two Fantastic Four movies. As for the Howling Commandos, they're barely even named in the movie, although Neal McDonough's ginger, cigar-chomping, bowler-hat-wearing Dum Dum Dugan stands out for obvious reasons. It's odd seeing them without their comic-book leader Nick Fury and it's a shame the film couldn't have somehow worked in Jackson playing his own grandfather or something, but never mind. It's also worth noting that JJ Feild's character is James Montgomery Falsworth, who later becomes British superhero Union Jack, another member of The Invaders.
Nerdy character-spotting aside, my favourite part of the film was the terrific musical number-slash-montage sequence. The Man With The Flag would have been perfectly enjoyable as a musical number on its own but the genius of the sequence is that it both serves an important plot function and gets the film-makers out of two potentially awkward scenes. Before I saw the film, I had joked on Twitter about looking forward to seeing how they'd pull off the "Hey, you know what you need? A red, white and blue costume" moment (to say nothing of the little white wings on the helmet) and also how they'd come up with the name "Captain America" while keeping a straight face. In the event, that sequence takes care of both those decisions and makes them entirely believable – after Erskine's death, Steve is given a gaudily patriotic costume, quickly named Captain America and adopted as a propaganda tool by the army, whereupon he's required to punch Hitler in the face on stage every night as the climax to a musical number. Brilliantly, this allows the film-makers to use the original 1940s costume (one of the biggest fan-pleasing moments), complete with the original shield-shaped shield. This also cunningly demonstrates how awful the comics version of the costume would look and entirely justifies the film's tweaking of the costume into the version we see later on. I also loved that the script showed Steve as a gifted artist – reflecting Steve Rogers' career as a commercial artist while also allowing him to redesign his own costume as Captain America.
Arguably, the only thing missing from Captain America is a clear shot of Cap encased in ice at the end. For my money, that's where the need to lead into the upcoming Avengers movie has slightly cheapened the film. Personally, I would have dropped the arctic discovery sequence at the beginning and ended it with an image of Cap frozen in ice, Han Solo-style, and the words "Somebody call Nick Fury…" or something.
Speaking of The Avengers, I would like the record to show that I totally called the fact that the Cosmic Cube would play a big part in the Captain America movie. Given the Cube's prominence here (and its ties to Asgard, which is something specific to the films, even though the Cube made frequent comics appearances), I think it's safe to assume that a) the Cosmic Cube will also form a part of the Avengers plot and b) the Red Skull will make an appearance in the Avengers movie, even if only briefly. (Hugo Weaving is not yet listed on the Avengers cast list.)
There are two more things I want to add. Firstly, that amongst many lovely little touches and film references, I especially loved the Indiana Jones reference, where the Red Skull makes a quip about Hitler "chasing trinkets in the desert". And secondly, no piece about Captain America can ever be complete without referring to this classic shield-throwing moment. Other than that, I am officially excited for the Avengers movie, so hurry up and Assemble already.

Every time you write one of these I follow a Wikipedia link (this time to Union Jack) and am once again astonished at just how utterly bastard mental the whole affair is.
mrmoth says:
Innit.
Seb Patrick says:
>[Bucky]'s alive again now, apparently
Actually, they've just (i.e. within the last month or so) killed him off again ;-)
(long story short: it turned out that he hadn't died when they thought he had, but had ALSO been preserved in ice. He was found by the Russians, missing an arm and most of his memory, and turned into an agent of theirs called the Winter Soldier. A few years back he encountered Steve again, and through convoluted circumstances got his memory back. He then took over as Cap for the brief time that *Steve* was dead, and when Steve came back he carried on (Steve instead took over as head of SHIELD with a new costume) – only to be killed in the last-but-one issue of the current FEAR ITSELF event)
Matthew Turner says:
Personally speaking, I could have lived with a little less of the obvious shilling for the Avengers movie, but, as that pesky subtitle indicates, that was inevitable from the get-go. (That subtitle's actually a lie, by the way – Cap was NOT the first Avenger and was in fact discovered frozen in ice by the Avengers -Thor, Iron Man and others – in the fourth issue of The Avengers http://images-mediawiki-sites.thefullwiki.org/02/3/6/3/4799354904280827.jpg in 1964.

4 One day Jesus told a story in the form of a parable to a large crowd that had gathered from many towns to hear him: 5 "A farmer went out to plant his seed. As he scattered it across his field, some seed fell on a footpath, where it was stepped on, and the birds ate it. 6 Other seed fell among rocks. It began to grow, but the plant soon wilted and died for lack of moisture. 7 Other seed fell among thorns that grew up with it and choked out the tender plants. 8 Still other seed fell on fertile soil. This seed grew and produced a crop that was a hundred times as much as had been planted!" When he had said this, he called out, "Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand."
`When they look, they won't really see.
11 "This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is God's word. 12 The seeds that fell on the footpath represent those who hear the message, only to have the devil come and take it away from their hearts and prevent them from believing and being saved. 13 The seeds on the rocky soil represent those who hear the message and receive it with joy. But since they don't have deep roots, they believe for a while, then they fall away when they face temptation. 14 The seeds that fell among the thorns represent those who hear the message, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life. And so they never grow into maturity. 15 And the seeds that fell on the good soil represent honest, good-hearted people who hear God's word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest.
19 Then Jesus' mother and brothers came to see him, but they couldn't get to him because of the crowd. 20 Someone told Jesus, "Your mother and your brothers are outside, and they want to see you."
21 Jesus replied, "My mother and my brothers are all those who hear God's word and obey it."
22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, "Let's cross to the other side of the lake." So they got into a boat and started out. 23 As they sailed across, Jesus settled down for a nap. But soon a fierce storm came down on the lake. The boat was filling with water, and they were in real danger.
24 The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, "Master, Master, we're going to drown!"
When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm! 25 Then he asked them, "Where is your faith?"
26 So they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes,  across the lake from Galilee. 27 As Jesus was climbing out of the boat, a man who was possessed by demons came out to meet him. For a long time he had been homeless and naked, living in a cemetery outside the town.
28 As soon as he saw Jesus, he shrieked and fell down in front of him. Then he screamed, "Why are you interfering with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Please, I beg you, don't torture me!" 29 For Jesus had already commanded the evil  spirit to come out of him. This spirit had often taken control of the man. Even when he was placed under guard and put in chains and shackles, he simply broke them and rushed out into the wilderness, completely under the demon's power.
30 Jesus demanded, "What is your name?"
34 When the herdsmen saw it, they fled to the nearby town and the surrounding countryside, spreading the news as they ran. 35 People rushed out to see what had happened. A crowd soon gathered around Jesus, and they saw the man who had been freed from the demons. He was sitting at Jesus' feet, fully clothed and perfectly sane, and they were all afraid. 36 Then those who had seen what happened told the others how the demon-possessed man had been healed. 37 And all the people in the region of the Gerasenes begged Jesus to go away and leave them alone, for a great wave of fear swept over them.
40 On the other side of the lake the crowds welcomed Jesus, because they had been waiting for him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a leader of the local synagogue, came and fell at Jesus' feet, pleading with him to come home with him. 42 His only daughter,  who was about twelve years old, was dying.
As Jesus went with him, he was surrounded by the crowds. 43 A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding,  and she could find no cure. 44 Coming up behind Jesus, she touched the fringe of his robe. Immediately, the bleeding stopped.
45 "Who touched me?" Jesus asked.
46 But Jesus said, "Someone deliberately touched me, for I felt healing power go out from me." 47 When the woman realized that she could not stay hidden, she began to tremble and fell to her knees in front of him. The whole crowd heard her explain why she had touched him and that she had been immediately healed. 48 "Daughter," he said to her, "your faith has made you well. Go in peace."
49 While he was still speaking to her, a messenger arrived from the home of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue. He told him, "Your daughter is dead. There's no use troubling the Teacher now."
50 But when Jesus heard what had happened, he said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be healed."
51 When they arrived at the house, Jesus wouldn't let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, James, and the little girl's father and mother. 52 The house was filled with people weeping and wailing, but he said, "Stop the weeping! She isn't dead; she's only asleep."
53 But the crowd laughed at him because they all knew she had died. 54 Then Jesus took her by the hand and said in a loud voice, "My child, get up!" 55 And at that moment her life  returned, and she immediately stood up! Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were overwhelmed, but Jesus insisted that they not tell anyone what had happened.

The Enquirer understands that sites across the country are flagging-up shortages as an increasing problem.
One industry source said: "Bricks and blocks are in short supply but the real problem is sourcing enough roof tiles.
The issue was flagged-up by Taylor Wimpey in its results yesterday.
The firm said: "Availability of materials is generally in line with demand but there remain pinch points with key products such as bricks, blocks and roof tiles.
"The cost of these key products has risen significantly and whilst other material costs have been stable in 2017 we are experiencing more cost pressure coming into 2018.
Persimmon also announced this week that it is building an in-house roof tile production plant which is expected to come on stream later this year.
The UK's largest house builder already has its own brick manufacturing plant.


ADS Media is proud to announce the addition of a new large format console to our studios.
As a small business, you often have milestone moments – our first REAL computer, the first (and hopefully last) time we moved our studios, new employees and new clients. Sometimes those milestones happen without us really noticing. Today however, we mark a large milestone in the evolution of the studio.
We are the proud parents/owners of a new baby – a brand-new yet old-school world-class large format recording board. Having exhausted my supply of hyphenated words, I'll summarize by saying 'it sounds great'. Made by Audient in the UK, this board takes the old world quality and tone of vintage boards, and applies the latest tech and sound isolation to really join the best of both worlds. In short, it sounds great and is super quiet – plus all the channels sound the same! (can your old Neve say that? Probably not as console's can't talk).
What this means is that our already high quality has taken a major leap forward. We always were about what we like to call the 'last 10%'. You can bring a project to 80 or 90% perfection with relative ease, but as you near the 'last 10%', it sometimes take that little something extra to get there. That's what ADS is about, that something extra. That's what this console helps bring our clients. I think it will fit in well around here.

To understand setup files, you need to understand that a shell can run in two modes: as a login shell or a non-login shell.
When you log in to a UNIX system, the login program usually starts a shell for you. The login program sets a special flag (51.9) to tell a shell that it's a login shell.
If the shell doesn't have that flag set, it won't act like a login shell. Opening a new window in a window system may or may not start a login shell - that depends on the configuration. (For example, the command xterm -ls starts a login shell in an xterm window (1.31); xterm +ls starts a non-login shell.) When you connect to a system with programs like ftp and uucp, that usually starts a non-login shell. And a subshell (38.4) is never a login shell.
How can you tell whether your shell is a login shell? Unfortunately for newcomers, the answer is: "it depends." The scheme does make sense - after you get familiar with it, anyway. When you first log in to a system, you want a login shell that sets things like the terminal type (5.2, 5.3). Other shells on the same terminal should be non-login shells - to avoid redoing those one-time-only setup commands. Different shells have their own methods for handling first-time shell invocations vs. later invocations, and that's what the rest of this article is about.
Finally, at the risk of really getting ahead of myself: in all the shells I know of, parenthesis operators (13.7) don't read any setup file. Instead, they start another instance of your current shell. Parentheses are called "subshell operators," but the subshell they start doesn't print a prompt and usually has a short lifetime.
Whew. Read on (I recommend that you read about all of the shells). Then experiment with your shell's setup files until you get things working the way you want them.
The original Bourne shell has one file that it reads when you log in: it's called .profile and is in your home directory. Put all your setup commands there.
The Bourne shell doesn't read .profile when you start a subshell (13.7), though. Subshell setup information has to come from environment variables (6.1) that were set in .profile when you first logged in or from commands you typed since.
The .cshrc file is read any time a C shell starts - that includes shell escapes and shell scripts.  This is the place to put commands that should run every time you start a shell. For instance, shell variables like cdpath (14.5) and prompt (7.1) should be set here. Aliases (10.2) should, too. Those things aren't passed to subshells through the environment, so they belong in .cshrc.
 If you write a csh script, you should probably use the -f option to keep C shell scripts from reading .cshrc. Of course, even better, you probably shouldn't use csh for scripts (47.2).
Commands you want to run every time you log in - checking for mail and news (1.33), running fortune (3.3), checking your calendar for the day, etc.
Note that .cshrc is read before .login.
The shell reads .logout when you end a login shell. Article 2.7 has tips for reading .logout from non-login shells.
The Korn shell is a lot like the Bourne shell. A login Korn shell (2.8) will read the .profile first. The .profile can set the ENV (6.3) environment variable to the pathname of a file (typically $HOME/.kshrc). Then any Korn shell during that login session (including a subshell) will read the file named by $ENV as it starts up, before it runs other commands.
bash is something of a cross between the Bourne and C shells. A login bash will read .bash_profile, .bash_login, or .profile. A bash subshell - but not a login shell - will read a file named .bashrc in your home directory. The shell reads .bash_logout when you end a login shell; you can set a trap (3.2) to handle non-login shells.
tcsh is like the C shell, with one exception: if you put a file named .tcshrc in your home directory, tcsh will read it instead of .cshrc.

AB de Villiers powers the Proteas to 279-8
HAMILTON, NEW ZEALAND - MARCH 01: AB de Villiers of South Africa bats during game four of the One Day International series between New Zealand and South Africa at on March 1, 2017 in Hamilton, New Zealand. (Photo by Phil Walter/Getty Images)
AB de Villiers's well paced 72 propelled the Proteas to a formidable 279-8 in the fourth ODI in Hamilton.
The finishing of De Villiers may well prove the difference in this fixture. The Proteas captain took his time to adjust to the pitch initially, and then accelerated as the South African innings built to a climax.
The Proteas added 106 in the final 10 overs – a fine effort after averaging 4.32 in the first 40. De Villiers finished with 72 not out off 59 balls.
Kane Williamson said at the toss that he also would have batted first if given the option. Both captains felt that the wicket would only get slower as the game progressed, and that batting late in the contest would be difficult.
Williamson would have been pleased with the initial efforts of his bowlers against what was a formidable Proteas batting lineup. The dangerous Quinton de Kock was dismissed first ball by Jeetan Patel, and from there, the visitors battled to sustain momentum or build any partnerships of real significance. The decision to open with Patel and another spinner in Mitchell Santner on this sort of track was inspired.
Hashim Amla, Faf du Plessis, and JP Duminy all got starts but failed to crack on and amass a significant score. The shot selection of the South Africans was poor, and on reflection, all three men will regret the manner of their dismissals. That said, the Kiwis did well to build the pressure and force the Proteas to take risks.
A mix-up between AB de Villiers and Dwaine Pretorius saw the latter run-out and the visitors reduced to 158-6. The Proteas skipper reacted to this wicket by throwing his bat into the air in disgust.
De Villiers found some support in the form of Chris Morris, and the two managed to keep the scoreboard ticking until the 44th over. It was at that point that De Villiers decided to shift gears, hitting Santner for six on the on-side.
The hosts began to panic as De Villiers started to take control. At the other end, Morris and subsequently Wayne Parnell played their part in clearing the boundary rope. De Villiers and Parnell added 63 for the seventh wicket off 26 balls.
The New Zealanders will need to show composure in pursuit of what appears to be a good South African score. Runs won't be easy to come by on what is a slow pitch later in the evening.
The Proteas will clinch the five-game series if they go on to win in Hamilton today.

lly Wenn shows a powerful way smart technology can maximise your people power. The headlines in digital growth are all about social media, but another less discussed development is just as important in the shift towards the online lifestyle. This is crowdsourcing – or getting people to do stuff for you. Crowdsourcing lets organisations ask questions or set challenges that are then open to the online world. Payment or prizes are given to those who get involved. It's a great way to match need and expertise, and it's a cost-effective way of doing jobs that machines can't do.
The emphasis in crowdsourcing applications has generally been on fairly low-skill tasks that are high in volume and which can be undertaken by anonymous people. But it's worth thinking about the other end of the crowdsourcing definition because there's great scope here for travel companies – because they have lots of "jobs that machines can't do".
That's right: You're hearing a technology company telling you there are some things that have to be done by people. It gets worse than that, because we think there will always be jobs that are better done by people. The point of IT is to remove obstacles to business. The reason we automate processes is to release people to do what only people can do.
The key is that techniques associated with crowdsourcing don't have to relate to low-skill, high-volume, anonymous-agent tasks. They can also be used for high-skill, low-incidence, expert-agent tasks – like solving a customer's problem with making a booking. The typical IT response to events like this is to call them "exceptions" and then attempt to remove them from the business process. And it's true that if a process is generating repeating exceptions of the same type, then you need to fix the process. However, you can't afford to treat genuine novelties in the same way. If you do, you can lose sales.
A travel company's key asset is its people – their expertise, their enthusiasm and their commitment. Smart use of technology can catch interesting exceptions and make them available to your call centre team for resolution. That way you can solve the customer's problem immediately, rather than regarding it simply as a possible symptom of process failure that needs investigating offline. And here's the really cute part: you may discover that such exceptions are actually prime opportunities to increase customer satisfaction, up-sell and cross-sell.
The kind of technology that helps here is exemplified by Amazon's Mechanical Turk system, which was launched in late 2005. Organisations post jobs and users anywhere in the world can take them on. Some jobs require certain qualifications from would-be completers. The original "Mechanical Turk" was an 18th century chess-playing automaton that actually had a very small – but very good – chess player hidden inside it. In the same way, Amazon's system looks like a machine, but really it's just a mechanical interface to human resources.
This approach can help you run a more "real time" business. Imagine, for example, that your phone queuing system has an option that asks customers to leave a number for a callback. Using the Mechanical Turk approach, you could immediately post each callback number to a web page. Your qualified agents – who might be anywhere in the world – can then choose to make any of the calls posted. This way you get human scalability along with the human touch.
As our digital lifestyles evolve, it's becoming clearer that connecting people with opportunities is a major growth area for the travel business. The industry is making good use of connectivity on the product side and our multichannel capabilities are growing. We need to think of task performance in the same way, using connectivity to improve the way we engage with our customers and to deepen our relationships with them.

Melrose Nut Spreads can be used as a delicious and nutritious sandwich filling. Add your favourite flavour next time you make a pesto. They can be spread over meat on a grill to add a unique taste. Try adding some to a dip for extra crunch and flavour. Use as a topping for pasta, steamed or healthy sautéed vegetables. Mix one of the Melrose Nut Spreads together with some yoghurt and serve with fruit.
Melrose Nut Spread uses are only as limited as your own imagination!
Almonds are the most alkaline of all nuts, which alone is a major benefit. Almonds are rich in Vitamin E, with just a handful (30g, about 20 nuts) providing 85% of the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) for Vitamin E. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and antioxidant. It's important to include in the diet foods rich in healthy fats, such as nuts to maintain heart health.
The delicately flavored and versatile almond is available throughout the year to make a healthy and tasty addition to both sweet and savory dishes.


Home business ideas can come from anywhere at any time. They can even come from a passionate hobby or a book you are reading. Do you knit or crochete? Have you ever thought of trying your hand at becoming an Instructor and get paid for doing what you love.
The home knitting home business idea formed while reading A Good Yarn by Debbie Macomber. I had read the first book in this series, The Shop on Blossom Street, I suspect the idea started, or blossomed (pun intended) with that book. The gist of the story is a woman opens a yarn shop; to supplement incoming dollars she decides to offer knitting lessons in the shop. The store, the lessons and the people she meets, changes her life. Giving classes in knitting is a great idea for anyone who is proficient in this craft. I am not. However that did not stop me from becoming yarn curious.
I did some searching for yarn prices, pattern prices, knitting needles etc. I found that yarn can be inexpensive or quite pricey depending on what you are looking for. Of course it makes sense to start beginner efforts with inexpensive yarn, but not so inexpensive (cheap) that the project items made are not wearable or useful.
You could supply the yarn and the knitting needles and charge a larger fee for your inclusive lessons, or allow attendees to bring their own supplies and charge for the lessons only. Allowing people to buy their own supplies may present a problem if they are not familiar with needle sizes, weight of yarn and other information that would make them informed knitters.
Hold a class to help people get acquainted with the knitting process and to learn what supplies are needed to get started. If there is a yarn shop in your area, you may want to approach the owner with a suggestion that they offer knitting lessons if they are not already doing so. You of course will be the instructor. A back room in the store would be ideal for a class. This way students would purchase supplies from the knitting shop, perhaps with a percentage of the total purchase. If the shop owner does not want to be involved with having non-worker's in her store, don't give up, she may still be willing to give your knitting students a discount on their purchases. This would be an ideal situation for you, the shop owner and your students. You would get the chance to have a business and make money, the shop owner would gain new customers and your students would learn to knit and save money on their supply purchases. But where would you give lessons? Why not your home? You would take fewer students, depending on the size of your home.
Next week, "Now What? Where do I do from here?"


In April this year we posted the story of Kalpana, a 29-year-old mother who is affected by leprosy. She has 4 children under 8 years old – one is disabled by cerebral palsy and the fourth was born at Lalgadh in February (2016). Her situation had become extremely difficult, and the team at Lalgadh needed to intervene rapidly to save this family from disaster. Her story illustrates the challenges of the caste system, of being affected by leprosy and of having a disabled child in a country where there are no formal support services.
For a while, Kalpana rented a room but she could not earn enough to maintain the family, so eventually the landlord evicted her and the children. A few weeks ago, she gave birth to her fourth child at Lalgadh Leprosy Services Centre, and after some time of care in the in-patients unit there, she has been found rented accommodation with support from NLT. Kalpana was broken-hearted at the loss of her husband, who she still loves, and is often overcome by despair; but she has kept rallying to care for her children. She has no idea what she can do, as she is still on treatment for leprosy and is weak. She has a new baby and her other children are still very young. Her disabled son is looked after a lot by his two older sisters, but he needs a lot of daily care. They certainly have no opportunity for schooling at this stage, unless things get a little better. The grim reality is that there are no obvious answers. In Nepali culture Kalpana is trebly "cursed" – by her single motherhood, by having a disabled son, and by leprosy.
There is no system in Nepal for helping people like Kalpana, and her parents do not want her back. This family is therefore very vulnerable and our Community Team aims to help with some land and permanent housing, and later with a small business startup to provide an income for them. There are other needs of course, but this is a good starting point to help Kalpana make a new beginning.
Since April, your help and prayer, and the team at Lalgadh have made a huge difference and Kalpana is much better, the two girls are going to our Sunrise Academy school, and the family has a new house nearby which is nearly finished and will belong to them. Kalpana has gained strength and health and is working again, using her skill in gravel-sorting, while our staff help her to develop some new skills that may make independence easier and less back-breaking. We met her in June and were very encouraged to see how positive and cheerful she was compared to earlier reports. She is getting on better with neighbours as well, and the children seem happy. Kalpana was able to talk positively about her work and about her future, and life really seems to have turned a corner for her. Thank you again for your help and support for this precious lady and her family.

Retiring Boomers Pose Big Challenges For Firms
The boomer generation — 75 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964 — and a tiny cadre of over-70s Silent Generation lawyers currently make up just under half of partners at Am Law 200 firms. As partners with the greatest seniority, they constitute a majority in the equity and management ranks, and control an outsize share of client relationships. The impacts of retirement are amplified because a long surge in hiring and promotion that began when boomers entered law firms has halted since the financial crisis.
By Julie Triedman
In June 30, securities litigator James Benedict, 66, walked out of his office at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy for the last time as a partner and caught a plane to Vail, CO, to begin the next chapter of his life. Benedict, who had been responsible annually for $35 million to $40 million in billings defending investment advisers in their biggest lawsuits, had been planning for this day since 2004. Benedict's age puts him in the leading edge of the largest wave of retirements that law firms have ever experienced. The aging-out of the generation, which began when the first baby boomers turned 65 in 2011, has been picking up speed ever since, with heavy ramifications for firm business. "There's been this looming tsunami of generational change confront the profession for a long time," says Altman Weil Inc. principal Alan Olson. The changeover "is happening now, and over the next five years." Until recently, Olson was on a lonely campaign to warn firms about the crisis. Now, a growing number of consultants and firm leaders have turned their attention to the issues that the graying of The Am Law 200 poses to firms already reeling under years of anemic growth, eroding realization rates and an overheated lateral market.

Season 2 of "Les Bracelets Rouges," the French adaptation of Filmax's children's hospital drama "The Red Band Society," has become a big audience hit for broadcaster TF1.
This confirms "The Red Band's" status as one of the biggest Spanish TV formats of all time.
Aired from March 11 to April 1 on TF1 over Monday's primetime, the eight episodes of "Les Bracelets'" S2 averaged powerful figures: 23% audience share and 5.1 million eyeballs. Every week, TF1 broadcast back-to-back two segments of the Vema-produced TV remake.
Results build on series Season 1, which already marked a huge success in France off its premiere on February 2018, averaging 6.4 million viewers and a 25% share. Each episode added one million views on TF1's catch-up service.
"TF1 is trying new things. Four years ago, they used to rely on big American scripted series. Now, there's more investment in adaptation," said Avril Blondelot, head of content insight at Eurodata TV.

Emmys: Why Your Favorite Shows Aren't Nominated
TF1 has already announced the production of the series' third season.
The strong performance of "The Red Band Society" redo in France follows further achievements by the Filmax format in other big European TV markets.
Broadcast in Italy by pubcaster RAI, "Braccialetti Rossi," a Palomar production, averaged 22.6% share in Season 1; Season 2 scored 23.8% and S3, 16.5%.
In Germany, "Club der roten Bänder," produced by Bantry Bay for RTL's Vox, snagged 2,5 million viewers in S1, and around 3 million in S2.
"We believe the series still has a good commercial run ahead of it. Right now, we are trying to enter the Asian market, which is a very complicated one for Spanish fiction. We expect that we will be able to announce a Chinese adaptation soon," said Filmax International head, Iván Díaz.
He added: "We are also trying to get it adapted in Brazil and still hope for a big Latin adaptation, in Spanish, focused on both Latin America and the U.S. Hispanic markets. We think the series has a great value for said territories."
The format was also been sold to the U.S., adapted for Fox by Amblin TV and ABC Studios, though pulled after one season; Russia and Ukraine (Channel One) and Chile (TVN) are among other redo territories.
"Polseres Vermelles," the title of the original series, was produced by Filmax's Arca Audiovisual and first bowed on Catalan pubcaster TV3 in 2011.

Crystal structure studies of NADP+ dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase from Thermus thermophilus exhibiting a novel terminal domain
Kumar, S. M. and Pampa, K. J. and Manjula, M. and Abdoh, M. M. M. and Kunishima, N. and Lokanath, N. K. (2014) Crystal structure studies of NADP+ dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase from Thermus thermophilus exhibiting a novel terminal domain. Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 449 (1). pp. 107-113. ISSN 0006-291X

NADP+ dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) is an enzyme catalyzing oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate into oxalosuccinate (intermediate) and finally the product α-ketoglutarate. The crystal structure of Thermus thermophilus isocitrate dehydrogenase (TtIDH) ternary complex with citrate and cofactor NADP+ was determined using X-ray diffraction method to a resolution of 1.80 à . The overall fold of this protein was resolved into large domain, small domain and a clasp domain. The monomeric structure reveals a novel terminal domain involved in dimerization, very unique and novel domain when compared to other IDH's. And, small domain and clasp domain showing significant differences when compared to other IDH's of the same sub-family. The structure of TtIDH reveals the absence of helix at the clasp domain, which is mainly involved in oligomerization in other IDH's. Also, helices/beta sheets are absent in the small domain, when compared to other IDH's of the same sub family. The overall TtIDH structure exhibits closed conformation with catalytic triad residues, Tyr144-Asp248-Lys191 are conserved. Oligomerization of the protein is quantized using interface area and subunit-subunit interactions between protomers. Overall, the TtIDH structure with novel terminal domain may be categorized as a first structure of subfamily of type IV.
