Castello di Petroia
Umbria |
Castle - Loc. Scritto di Gubbio - 06020
"Castello di Petroia" is a majestic medieval castle surrounded by defence walls and, from its dominating position on the top of a hill, overlooks the splendid Chiascio valley near the famous town of Gubbio.
The origins of the imposing fortress date back to the 12th century, testimony to this being a document signed by Emperor Barbarossa, while the oldest part, the big tower, dates back to about 1000.

Today, it is possible to relive the authentic atmosphere of past eras and to feel like true castle- dwellers inside its high walls, among the prestigious Sale degli Stemmi (Coat of Arms Hall), of the Princess and Astrolabe.
The bedrooms and suites are situated in two of the Castle's buildings, Castellare Maggiore and Minore. With period furnishings, these conserve the character of the original environment and have oak-beamed ceilings, antique paintings and prints, some also with stone fireplaces, creating a luxurious environment at the same time as being welcoming and comfortable.

Apu Trilogy: Pather Panchali [1955], Aparajito [1956], Apur Sansar [1959]
Pather Panchali (Song of the Little Road), Aparajito (The Unvanquished) and Apur Sansar (The World of Apu), the three mesmerizing, lyrical tales encapsulating Apu's journey from birth and childhood to adolescence to manhood, respectively, (cinematic equivalent of Bildungsroman), propelled Satyajit Ray from an aspiring filmmaker and cinephile to immortality as the greatest genius of post-independent India. Apu's fascinating relationship with his elder sister Durga in Pather Panchali, his taking over responsibility after his father's demise in Aparajito, his fleeting attempt to be a family man in Apur Sansar – these are themes that have been etched in my mind. Watching the lyricism, the bleary-eyed beauty, the complex and multi-layered character development of Apu, the emphasis on the sensory and visuals over narrative reminiscent of films of the silent era, the strong influence from the distinctive Italian genre of neorealism (Ray was heavily influenced by Vittorio De Sica's The Bicycle Thief), one can feel Ray's passion and love for cinema, and appreciate his impeccable eye for detail. Stories of how Ray managed to complete Pather Panchali with limited funds and against numerous obstacles are stuff that legends are made of. Apur Sansar, perhaps the best among equals, also kick-started Ray's long and fascinating collaboration with actor Soumitra Chatterjee, whose sensitive and intense portrayal of Apu's manhood is terrific to say the least. The beauty, joy and pathos painted in the Apu trilogy are unmatched in any trilogy before or since.
Director: Satyajit Ray
Genre: Drama/Family Drama/Rural Drama/Coming-of-Age/Urban Drama/Psychological Drama/Epic
Language: Bengali
Labels: 1950s, 5 Star Movies, Drama, Epic/Historical, Essential Viewing, Indian (Bengali) Cinema

Fantastic! Wish we could find this ASAP.
I really hope that you do cos this trilogy is cinema at its distilled best. Do also have a look at the review of Nayak, another Ray favourite of mine.
Definitely one of the best films in world cinema. You can check out a review of Pather Pancahli, the 1st film of this trilogy- here at the Culturazzi Website
Culturazzi is a club that strives to bring people in arts, cinema, literature, music and theater across the world together on a common platform, where they can share their thoughts, opinions, and interact with each other.
We regularly post reviews at the Culturazzi Club Review Section
Would love to know what you all feel about it :-)
Culturazzi
One thing I love about this trilogy is how you can see Ray's filmmaking style, initially loose and kind of primal evolve into something more polished and professional (both approaches have their virtues) - more importantly, how this evolution reflects Apu's own journey from the sometimes crushing challenges but also natural wonder of his childhood to the excitement of young adulthood, the crushing disappointment as life weighs down on him, and eventually the acceptance of life & its responsibilities that comes with full maturity - as long as we're lucky and/or able enough to get there.
I need to see Aparajito again; I was blown away by Pather Panchali and World of Apu but the middle film kind of slipped through the cracks for me.
Interestingly, though I've mentioned in my review that I reckon The World of Apu the most, over the years my stance has changed a bit - as of today (and for sometime now), I consider Aparajito as the best of the lot, followed by Apur Sansar & Pather Panchali (in that order). The fact that Pather Panchali is so highly regarded by most cinephiles speaks volumes about the other two films in the trilogy.
Most people that I come across, who aren't that well acquainted with Ray's body of work, associate him only with Pather Panchali, and refer to his movies with the cliched epithet "lyrical & humanistic". His films were so much more than that, and like Kubrick, he traversed across a plethora of genres in his lifetime - psychological dramas, romantic comedies, political satires, chamber pieces, musicals, fantasies, dark urban chronicles, historical films, social satires, and so much more.
In fact there are a number of movies, apart from Apu Trilogy, that I consider very highly - Aranyer Din Ratri (Days & Nights in the Forest), Nayak, Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne, Charulata, Calcutta Trilogy (especially Pratidwandi & Jana Aranya), Agantuk, Jalsaghar, Kapurush, etc. Despite making so many films in his career, there are hardly a few that I consider 'weak', and that too only relative to his best works - no wonder I consider Ray among my favourite filmmakers :)
I'd really like to hear from you, Joel, on his other films as & when I feel interested in giving them a try.

The 0.5THSC magnetic adapter is used to gather quick data points over a range of hole sizes using a single adapter. The secret is a spring-loaded, cone-shaped, locating plunger (see illustration below). This adapter will locate on hole sizes 0.100" to 0.420" (2.5 mm to 10.5 mm). Keep in mind that we can also make these adapters to fit other hole diameters on request. Three strong magnets on the bottom keep the adapter squarely on any ferrous surface, and counteract the spring-loaded force of the plunger. The adapter is reliable and repeatable. A grooved profile around the outer perimeter assists in removal after measuring is finished. The adapter holds the centerpoint of a 0.5" diameter SMR 1.000" (or 25 mm for the metric version) above the surface of the part and on centerline of the hole to a tolerance of ±0.001" (±0.025 mm). The SMR seats on a conical land and is held in place by a magnet.

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - A Friday night took a scary turn for one family. A local man taking action after two suspects are accused of breaking into his neighbor's home.
The Mobile Police Department says they received a 9-1-1 call late Friday night and responded to the 1000 block of McGough Court in reference to a burglary in progress.
That caller-- Andrew Carrera- shared his harrowing account with FOX10 News including surveillance video captured at his family's home.
"When it all went down-- when the gunfire and all that started, I just said, 'God, watch over us.' That was the first thing I said when I came through the front door," said Carrera.
Andrew Carrera was in his family's garage Friday night when he heard glass shatter. The sound-- coming from his neighbor's house across the street.
"I hollered at my step-dad-- 'I think somebody's breaking in--call 9-1-1--and that's when I took off," added Carrera. "I jumped the fence and I ran up to where the door was-- but the whole door was kicked in, all the glass was kicked in. At that point, I grabbed my firearm and I screamed, 'Get the h** out of my house' and it got really loud."
That's when Carrera says two male subjects started firing at him.
"I ran around the left side of my neighbor's house, and when I got to the corner of the house-- they were coming out the front door at the same time and they were shooting backwards. When he shot his first one, it whizzed right past my ear."
In the surveillance video from Carrera's home vantage point, you can see his step-dad in the white shirt come out first.
In the upper right corner of the video, Carrera is huddled behind a vehicle for protection in the driveway.
The suspects-- shooting as Carrera as they fled on foot.
"45 seconds tops-- the whole thing," said Carrera. "It felt like 4 to 5 hours."
Carrera says he struck one of the suspects in the encounter.
"About 10 minutes later, a call came through the radio that someone had just been rushed to the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds. He was matching the exact description that I gave them," explained Carrera.
Shortly after, investigators say officers responded to University Hospital in reference to a 20-year-old male who arrived with a non-life threatening gunshot wound.
MPD has not yet confirmed if these incidents are related, but Carrera says he's quite certain they are.
Meanwhile- Carrera is just happy he and his family are alive.
"It's a crazy experience that I hope no one has to deal with-- but if you do have to, I hope you're prepared to deal with it," he said.
As of this time, MPD says no arrests have been made. They have no new information. FOX10 News will keep you updated as the investigation unfolds.

Q: Wrong discount amount showing I know this has been asked multiple times but I still don't understand how Magento calculates the total amount when a discount is applied.
I want all prices to be shown including tax but I want the discount to be calculated before tax is calculated.
Currently i have this situation. Suppose
Settings:
Apply Customer Tax : After Discount
Apply Discount On Prices : Including Tax (as recommended in the User Guide for EU based shops)
Apply Tax On : Custom Price If available
Display Prices: Including Tax
Display Subtotal : Excluding Tax
Order:
Product price = 40.20 (tax 21% included)
Cart shows:
Subtotal: €33.22 (excl tax)
Discount: €6.03- (incl tax)
Tax: €5.93 (tax=(subtotal-discount(excl tax))*0.21)
Total incl tax: 34.17 (total=(33,22-4,98)*1,21
The total amount and the tax calculation is correct but I want the discount to be shown excluding tax and not including tax as it is now.
When I change the setting Apply Discount On Prices to Excluding Tax, it messes up the calculation of the total and tax amount.
Cart shows:
Subtotal: €33.22 (excl tax) CORRECT
Discount: €4.98- (excl tax) CORRECT
Tax: €6.11 INCORRECT (33.22-4.98)*0.21=5.93
Total incl tax: 35.22 INCORRECT
Tax should be calculated as Subtotal - Discount x 0.21

Australia's national interest statement on TPP neglects capital control risks
Leon Berkelmans
Published 29 Feb 2016 08:55 0 Comments
Follow @LeonBerkelmans
Capital controls used to be taboo. The idea that a country would interfere with the free flow of capital across its borders was anathema to any right-thinking policy-maker.
That view has changed. Now there is a recognition that capital flows can be destabilising, as the rush to get money out of a country can exacerbate a crisis. Most famously, the IMF changed its tune, saying in 2012 that 'in certain circumstances, capital flow management measures can be useful'.
Trade negotiators, however, may have been slow to catch on; capital control measures may be inconsistent with various treaties. And if that's the case, then any country imposing capital controls could be subject to action.
This action could be pursued through state-to-state channels, or even through Investor State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) channels, where private agents can take governments to tribunals to seek redress. Imagine if a large US bank were to seek damages from a small economy while that small economy was implementing measures to stave off a crisis. What a mess that would be.
Presumably in response to concerns about this possibility, the Trans-Pacific Partnership includes Article 29.3. This sets out various conditions under which countries can impose capital controls. But I reckon these conditions don't go far enough.
For a start, there are time limits. The TPP allows for a country to impose these controls, but if they need to be implemented for longer than 18 months (Iceland's capital controls have been in place since 2008 and counting), the other parties to the agreement need to give their blessing.
That could be a problem. If Australia were to impose capital controls at some point, what guarantee is there that we will see eye-to-eye on their rationale with the other TPP signatories? We've disagreed with our friends before on appropriate crisis responses — the Asian Financial Crisis comes to mind. There's no good reason why it won't happen again.
If that happens, and a financial behemoth then takes Australia to an ISDS tribunal…well, that is going to be awkward.
There are other issues with the carve-out. For example, it does not apply to foreign direct investment, which could open up all sorts of enforcement problems. If you want details, Michael Reddell, a former New Zealand economic mandarin, discussed potential problems in November.
I had hoped these issues would have been covered in Australia's National Interest Analysis, released a couple of weeks ago.
But not a whisper. The Australian National Interest Analysis ran for only 19 pages (the Kiwis managed nearly 300). Just 19 pages to assess a 6000 plus pages agreement. Doesn't seem adequate to me. And most of that was just a statement of what the TPP included. The issue of capital controls was not addressed.
So, we are all left wondering: do our top officials think this carve-out goes far enough? If so, why? And while we are on the topic, to what extent do our previous treaties limit our ability to impose capital controls? There is a potentially gaping hole here. And I have not seen any assessment of the risks.

Moriah
MORIAH (mō-rī'a, Heb. mōrîyâh). A land or district where Abraham was told to offer up Isaac (Gen.22.2). It was about a three day's journey from Beersheba where Abraham was living when given the command. Its location is not given. Jewish tradition has identified it with Jerusalem; Samaritan tradition identifies it with Mount Gerizim. According to 2Chr.3.1, Solomon built the temple on Mount Moriah, where God had appeared to David (1Chr.21.15-1Chr.22.1). Whether this is the same Mount Moriah mentioned in the account of Abraham is not certain.
1. In Genesis 22:2 God instructed Abraham to offer up Isaac on one of the mountains in "the land of Moriah." Probably the district received its name from the incident in which Yahweh provided a sacrifice (Gen 22:8, 14) and appeared to Abraham (Gen 22:14). In the Samaritan Pentateuch המוראה stands for hmryh in order to identify the Mount where Isaac was sacrificed with Gerizim through the etymological connection of Moriah with Moreh in the neighborhood of Shechem. For a refutation of the Samaritan lie see James A. Montgomery, The Samaritans (1907), 234ff. The exact mountain is not located in Genesis beyond the statement that it was a three days' journey from Beer-sheba (Gen 22:4).
2. The author of Chronicles, however, by applying this name to the site of the Temple identified the site as the rocky hilltop of Jerusalem N of the city of David where Yahweh appeared (passive form of verb ra'ah) to David when he presented offerings on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite (2 Chron 3:1). This identification is made explicit in Josephus (Antiq, I. xii. 1; VII. xiii. 4) as well as in the Book of Jubilees (18:13), and in rabbinical lit. It was accepted without discussion by Jerome (Hebrew Questions on Gen 22:2; on Jer 26:4 [IDB, III, 439]). The Moslem mosque, the Dome of the Rock, presently sits on the site.

Jason Kidd open to returning to Nets, says playing with Deron Williams in Brooklyn could be 'successful'
Kidd OK with taking a back seat to D-Will or Lin
BY Stefan Bondy
Updated: Monday, June 18, 2012, 6:53 PM
Jason Kidd (l.) says his days of playing 38 minutes a night are over and he's open to taking a backup role with a player like Deron Williams in Brooklyn or Dallas.
(Danny Bollinger/NBAE via Getty I)
There's yet another thing contingent on Deron Williams' re-signing with the Nets: Jason Kidd's interest in playing in Brooklyn.
The future Hall of Famer, who will become a free agent on July 1, said Monday that owner Mikhail Prokhorov and the move to Brooklyn are alluring aspects of why he's considering a reconnection with the Nets.
But Williams "is the key."
"My days of playing 38 minutes are over," said Kidd, 39, adding that he'd be okay with being a backup for the first time in his career. "We (Williams and I) could play off each other and hopefully be successful."
Kidd and Williams share the same agent, Jeffrey Schwartz, and forged a relationship on the 2008 Olympics team. They then paired together at a celebrity golf outing in Lake Tahoe last year.
Kidd was promoting that same golf tournament Monday — the American Century Championship (from July 17-22). Williams isn't scheduled to compete this year with a field that includes Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and Tony Romo.
Of course, Williams is the top free-agent target of Kidd's current team, the Mavericks, who'll have enough cap space to sign the three-time All Star to a max contract. The Nets can offer Williams an extra year and $28 million more than any other team because they hold his Bird Rights.
Kidd said he'd like to re-sign with the Mavericks — adding that he's open to taking a one-year deal — but it's clear Dallas would need to bolster its roster in order to alleviate the strain on aging legs.
He averaged career lows last season in points (6.2 per game), assists (5.5) and minutes (28.7).
Andrew Theodorakis/New York Daily News
Jeremy Lin emerges as the Knicks' starting point guard in February, sparking the Linsanity craze.
"I'd be fine with starting or not starting, but I want to be able to finish the game," Kidd said. "I'm all about winning at this point."
When asked about free agency in general terms, Kidd said he'd like to re-sign with Mavs but it's too early for any commitments. "Brooklyn" was the only other team he mentioned. Kidd spent much of his career with the Nets listening to Bruce Ratner's broken promises about the move from New Jersey to Brooklyn, which only came to fruition following Prokhorov's bailout.
The Nets are also awaiting a decision from their backup point guard, Jordan Farmar, who has until June 30 to decide if he's picking up a one-year player option.
"The Nets have an owner (Prokhorov) who wants to win," Kidd said. "He has money."
Kidd also was asked specifically about the Knicks, and said he'd enjoy helping groom Jeremy Lin. The Knicks won't have much cap space, perhaps none, if they use the mid-level exception to re-sign Lin.
"That would be a lot of fun to help a player like that," Kidd said. "Just share the things that helped me be successful in this league."


How do you move forward when backward is all you have? I've been thinking about that a lot since my Dad died. As days go by it becomes more evident that I can no longer look forward to seeing him. I can't look forward to him seeing my daughter grow. I can't look forward to his long political debates or him telling me how the world would be better if everyone thought like him.
I can only look backward to memories of a time gone by. I can laugh and cry about things that were and only speculate on what could have been. Until that day we put his body in the ground my earthly relationship with my Dad was part of my forever and always. He was here before I was and I never knew a world where he didn't exist.
Now I have entered a new world–a world where my father and I are One. In this world he lives within me and I can only believe that in his new home I live within him. Sound familiar? It is amazing that in my father's passing, I have come to feel him even more. Like in a dream where all your defenses are down, I see more of my Dad's intentions for his place in the world. No longer burdened by regret of the past or the calculations and projections that we make about our uncertain futures, my Dad's spirit speaks to me without reservations.
No, I don't hear his voice or see him walking around like in a Hollywood movie. In fact I haven't even seen his image in a dream since the day before the funeral. In my dreams I only hear people talking about him in some peripheral way. Instead, his spirit speaks to me through me. In my own voice I hear his words as I describe him to people who never knew him. In my emotions I feel him as grief takes me to places I've never been before and forces me to reevaluate where I've come from with eyes that now discern rather than discriminate.
Through this experience I am learning more about what it means to be human–that subtle mixture of doubter and Divine. What's more, I realize that moving forward is more inspirational than directional. In other words, moving forward does not have to mean moving away from my Dad and our relationship, but rather moving toward the person I have become as a result of the relationship's influence.

Ricky Ponting Said Justin Langer should get Things Done Better
Manohar Peruri
I know there's been a lot of negativity the last few weeks: Ponting
Ricky Ponting has placed his confidence around existing Australia Head Coach Justin Langer, who has been under assault for a mixture of his style of leadership and the team's recent form, So Ricky Ponting Said Justin Langer should get Things Done Better.
Australia has now dropped all 5 of their prior bilateral T20 matches, having recently fallen 1-4 to the West Indies and Bangladesh in 2 away T20I series. With the T20 World Cup approaching, a slew of doubts has been voiced about the team, particularly something over Langer's job as a coach.
In a recent interview, Ponting said – "As I made really clear to Justin when you're in that position in Australian sport, whether you're a high-profile coach or a captain of a national team, if you're not getting the results, then you've got to expect the negativity,"
He has also added – "If you wind the clock back not even 12 months ago, the Australian team were the number one ranked Test team and T20 team in the world, we know all the talent is there".
"The last tour to Bangladesh and the West Indies was pretty tough to judge the coaches on because I think there was eight or nine out of the starting XI for T20 and one-day cricket wasn't there."
According to reports, even the Australian team was previously unsatisfied with Langer's coaching personality and attitude.
"It sounds like the captain and some of the senior players have had some pretty direct conversation with Justin about the things they think he needs to get better at," Ponting said.
"But he is also the sort of bloke who seeks that sort of advice anyway. He wants to find out how he can get better and what he can do better. I know there's been a lot of negativity the last few weeks, I really felt for Justin, I rang Justin a few times," Ponting said.
"They just got back from that tough tour of the West Indies and then Bangladesh, and he was locked up in his hotel room in Adelaide, and he was sort of copping it left, right, and center. Me and a lot of his close friends have reached out to him."
Former Australian skipper Mark Waugh described the way in which the "spotlight has been shifted from players' accomplishments to him" as "unfair."
Similarly, Langer is upbeat and hopeful about being a "better coach." "The situation at the moment is very tough but I am confident that I will become a better coach from it. We all got a lot off our chests. I think we are all in a better place now. When you win, everyone is happy and gets on with things but when you are losing, that is when the finger-pointing starts, and people look for excuses," he recently said in an Interaction.

Inside Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter's Spooky Relationship
via AP Photo/Joel Ryan
by Moriah Gill November 12, 2020, 5:00 pm 1.3k Views 1 Vote
Director Tim Burton is the brains behind Edward Scissorhands, the live-action Alice In Wonderland with Johnny Depp, Beetlejuice, the Oscar-winning Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Frankenweenie, Halloween/Christmas favorite Nightmare Before Christmas, and of course, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. For over a decade, Tim Burton was in a serious relationship with Helena Bonham Carter. They split in 2014 in a "divorce" from a relationship in which they were never legally married.
The two met for the first time on the set of The Planet of the Apes in 2001. Actress Helena Bonham Carter starred in the movie, and Burton directed it. Before their meeting, the actress was in a relationship with Kenneth Branagh, an actor and film director. They'd since split in 1999. and Burton, on the other hand, was in a long-term relationship with actress Lisa Marie. She, upon their split, sued Burton.
During their relationship, the couple was the subject of a couple of rumors about their relationship. For example, the rumor that the couple wasn't living together, which was technically true. The Harry Potter star, Burton's "ex-wife," had spoken about it, addressing how they had, in fact, adjoining houses in Belsize Park, London. She said, "We have two houses knocked together because mine was too small. We see as much of each other as any couple, but our relationship is enhanced by knowing we have our personal space to retreat to…"
A post shared by Tim Burton (@timburton)
Her home, she said, looked like Beatrix Potter awhile her "husband's" had dead Oompa Loompas, slime, and weird alien-type lights. Although this seems a bit peculiar for married people, to each their own. Pics of said home[s] would be cool, but they're hard to find. Good luck if you're googling!
The couple also had two children, a son, and a daughter, Billy Raymond Burton and Nell Burton. Billy, born in 2003, has started acting; he's appeared in multiple of his father's movies in small roles, including Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Dark Shadows, Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Big Eyes. Nell, born in 2007, who's name is derivative of 'Helen,' has done the same, having been seen in Big Eyes, Alice in Wonderland, and Dark Shadows.
Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter
The couple officially announced their break up in 2014, after 13 years together. While they weren't officially married, when she and Tim Burton split, their break up was referred to as a "divorce" since the relationship was so serious. In the words of Helena Bonham Carter, who currently acts in Netflix's series, The Crown, "With a divorce, you go through massive grief—it is a death of a relationship, so it's utterly bewildering. Your identity, everything, changes…"You break-up, you grieve, you get bored of grieving, and when you finally move on," she continued to tell the Harper's Bazaar that she's "very happy with someone else."

September 2016 update on the restoration of the Burnelli CBY-3 "Loadmaster" from restoration Crew Chief, Harry Newman.
As mentioned in the previous update, the right wing has been moved to storage after extensive repairs. The left wing has been brought into our restoration facility in the upright position in its cradle which allowed up to ten volunteers to work on both the top and bottom surfaces simultaneously. As with the right wing, the large aluminum panel directly under the left wing fuel tanks was badly corroded and required replacement. Once again one of our corporate donors - Peerless Tool and Machine Co. - stepped in to fabricate a new panel using their computer operated abrasive waterjet center to precisely trace and plot the old panel in order to cut the new one. We greatly appreciate the support by Peerless Vice President Casimir Kruzel, Jr. and machine operator Chris Wozniak. The new panel fit perfectly.
The old wing panel in the abrasive waterjet machining center. The computer operated machine then precisely traced and plotted the features of the old panel in order to transfer the detail to the yet to be cut new panel.
Computerized cutting underway in the waterjet machining center.
The new wing panel after installation on the left wing.
Both the left and right wingtips had extensive preexisting damage from the tornado that struck the museum in 1979. This along with water and corrosion damage necessitated extensive repairs. Volunteers Steve Seiser and Walt Esker saw to the restoration of both wingtips which have been primed and put in storage.
Steve Seiser with one of the two wingtips during their restoration.
Once the work that could be done with the left wing in the upright position was completed it was time to lay it down on workbenches so we could begin to fit the flap and aileron to the wing. This will be a significant task since many of the bearings and mounts that join these components are badly rusted, damaged or missing altogether. Replacement bearings have been donated by RBC Bearings and Kaman Industrial Technologies and the mounts are to be fabricated by our own machinists.
The left wing after being lifted from its upright cradle and placed top down on workbenches. This will allow access to all of the mounting hardware and attachments for the flap and aileron, as well as replacement of damaged sheet metal and underlying structures.
Several of our volunteers begin the work of replacing damaged bearings, mounts and sheet metal on the left wing.
A major challenge to the CBY-3 restoration is in the cockpit, which had been stripped of its instrumentation and seats before being acquired by NEAM. Volunteer John Smith, who had previously restored the cockpit of the museum's Douglas A-26 bomber, meticulously documented the disassembly of what was left of the CBY-3 cockpit. He then stripped out the old peeling paint from the interior and repainted with custom blended paint to match the original. John has now begun to repopulate the cockpit piping and instrumentation along with Ralph Redman who is in the process of researching and fabricating the missing overhead control panels.

The same area after partial restoration with some of the piping reinstalled.
After 18 months of steady progress the interior of the cargo bays has been stripped of old paint and the application of the primer coat has been completed. When this effort began the interior was badly soiled, having been the home to various wildlife for many years. The cleanup, stripping of old paint and making repairs was a major undertaking. We plan to begin the final interior painting next spring.
This is what the interior of the CBY-3 looked like in October 2012, before restoration began. Looking in from the far doorway is volunteer Jerry Abbatello who took on the task of stripping and priming the interior.
Again Jerry looks through the same doorway at the much improved interior which has been stripped and primed. The flooring is temporary and will be replaced after final interior painting.
Photographs of the CBY-3 reveal that at times the main landing gear had small hubs over the wheel bearing seals. These hubs were missing from the aircraft and replacements could not be found. After determining the accurate size and contour of the original hubs we decided to recreate them using a 3D printer. Shown below is our machinist Sandy Brown who fabricated the new hubs.


We lost our previous dogs, Stormy (a Minpin) and Blanca (a Chihuahua) kind of close together. Stormy was almost 17 and Blanca 15 1/2 years. I was sad when Stormy was gone but really grieved over Blanca. We said we'd take our time, but Blanca died in October of 2014 and on my birthday in March 2015, we brought Greta home from the SPCA. She is part Dachshund and part Chihuahua.
We've had two-year-old Greta since she was four months old. She and her brother were given up to our local SPCA. Her papers said her former people "could not keep/do not want." Well, WE wanted her! I would have taken her brother too but we live in an apartment.
Greta is a little clown. She practically stands on her head at times to get attention when we're on the computer, etc. and she vocalizes at the same time. It's really funny!
She is a little lover, very loving towards people, always receiving our guests well. She also likes other dogs & cats. But she is skittish and afraid of "things." One time, she barked when she first saw that a neighbor had placed a Halloween plate in their ground floor window as a decoration; she barks at trash bags blowing past along the backyard ditch – anything that is out-of-place in her little safe world.
Sadly, she almost died the summer after we brought her home from eating mulch saturated with herbicides. She screamed with pain; it was horrible. She is obviously sensitive as she also had a severe reaction to a topical anti-tick and flea med this past summer.
It was painful to lose long-time pets but she is a treat and we are delighted to have a dog again, though a barky one! We praise God that He brought her to us and that we can take care of her.
Tail wags to you and Cino!

Those things you mentioned might be why her previous people didn't want her, which is sad because no human being or animal is perfect. But both are God's creation deserving of love, care, patience, time and a permanent home. I am glad she is bringing you so much joy!

Sounds like a great pup!
LeeAnn, thank you so much!
You're welcome! My joy! A happy blessed new year to you!
Thank you for your blog, LeeAnn!
I wish I could have a bunch of them, but my apt management makes even one too complicated. I am a previous big time dog and cat mother. 🙂 One cat shy of being a crazy cat lady.
That's so sad that your apartment is making it that complicated to give an animal a home.
Hi, John!! No, you is!
Sophie has the same fears as does Greta. The other two are fine with new things.
Awww, poor Sophie. Have you had her since she was a puppy?
I got Sophie at 3 months.Her mother became very sick after the birth of the 4 puppies. She had retained a few and the breeder was unaware. The mom had to go to the vet to have an operation and the pups were hand feed by the breeder for several days. I'm not sure if the mom ever mothered them again. I know that one of her brothers is sane.
Hi, corkscot! I read your gravatar text – it sounds like you have lots of fun! About Sophie's fears, she wasn't a rescue so I'm thinking timidness is a personality trait, right? Your little clan sounds great.

"At the beginning, I was just trying to help out where I could. Kris [Wenzel, CCAHEC's founding Executive Director and Pat's sister] was focused on community connections" and needed someone for accounting management. After Pat's position was eliminated from Rocky Mountain News, she pursued accounting courses and dove right in. Pat mused that the last ten years have been interesting. Four Executive Directors with different leadership styles and processes, a large-scale office move from Anschutz Medical Campus to our current location in South East Denver, and numerous advances in technology and policy kept Pat's position fresh. "I realized pretty early on that this was going to be a new long-term career." Pat goes on to say that "you find your way, and you learn about new products and new ways of doing things, and you take it all in stride."
"Pat exemplifies the spirit of loyalty and the passion for teamwork," said Lin Browning, CCAHEC Executive Director. "She came to CCAHEC to help her sister and she has led us in the development of our work family. Pat cares deeply about our mission and keeps us all smiling as we work together to achieve it. Never one to say no to a new challenge, Pat motivates us all to be innovative and responsive to our communities."
Pat exemplifies the spirit of loyalty and the passion for teamwork.
We asked Pat what the best thing about working at CCAHEC is and she said "helping others, such as high school students, but also being able to help Lin with reports and being there for whatever else she needs. I was once asked why I come back every day. Really, it's because it constantly changes on a daily basis. Technology changes, I learn more, new programs begin…you just don't know what is going to happen." A staple within office culture, Pat loves "coming in each day and finding out what's next, knowing what to do, and communicating and staying up to date on what's going on with each person and program." She enjoys the team and supporting them in any way she can.
Knowing Pat is to know that she does not often speak of her accomplishments or what she has done for which she is most proud. A bit of coaxing however revealed her work in records management and maintenance; both of which were not streamlined when she first arrived at CCAHEC. Pat considers her process a success when her work seamlessly enables Lin to make decisions on behalf of the organization. Above all else, she is most proud of her growth. Ten years has afforded her to feel more comfortable in her responsibilities and thriving in an environment that embraces a team approach. Pat feels more available and easygoing and is proud to be so.
Above all else, she is most proud of her growth.
In closing out and reflecting on ten years, Pat sincerely appreciates the openness of CCAHEC's Executive Director, and her ability to ask the right questions with genuine interest in hearing feedback. Pat also spoke about the Kris Wenzel Memorial Scholarship Fund; a fund in honor of continuing her sister's legacy of getting students excited about healthcare careers. She mentioned though Lin has no obligation to do so, she has made this a priority to continue at CCAHEC, and Pat and her family "think that's fantastic." "For some of these kids, it's a lot of money that can hopefully bring them back onto the right track." "I didn't realize the impact and gravity of Kris' work until a few years into being here, but I look forward to new changes in the future."
Thank you, Pat, for a decade of service providing essential connection between CCAHEC and our students, providers, and community members to enable creation and implementation of educational programs!
Congratulations on 10 Years!

It's that time of year again! The time when most of us pledge to work a little harder toward being the best versions of ourselves possible. Some of us just make a mental note (note to self: more greens in 2017). Some of us place actual notes on our bathroom mirrors (don't forget to floss!). Others of us go so far as to make a vision board and laminate that sucker. But we've got a new way for you to remind yourself to stick to those New Year's resolutions: text pouches!
Each time you pull one of these zippered beauties from your bag or drawer, you'll be reminded of the promise you made to yourself — as well as the good you've already done by supporting the GAIA mission of providing meaningful and well-paying work to refugee women.
One of our resolutions this year is to find more ways to lend a hand to others. To that end, we're helping you pair your self-promises with our pouches.
We've got even more text pouches to choose from, so get creative! We at GAIA wish great things for you in 2017!

Zátažná pletenina (angl.: weft-knit fabric, něm.: Strickware) je plošná textilie, která vzniká postupným proplétáním jedné niti na jednotlivých jehlách ve směru řádku a po jeho zhotovení přechází na nový řádek.

Název je odvozen od zatahování, což je tvoření kliček mezi jehlami (s pomocí platin) na pletacích strojích.

Pletací stroje a zařízení
Konstrukce strojů na výrobu zátažných pletenin se zakládají na postupu práce při ručním pletení, textilie zhotovené ručním pletením se však neoznačují jako zátažné pleteniny.

Průmyslově se zátažné pleteniny vyrábí na okrouhlých nebo plochých strojích, od plochých strojů jsou odvozeny pletací přístroje na ruční pohon, které se používají k výrobě malých sérií a k amatérskému pletení.

Stroje jsou často doplněny vzorovacími zařízeními, ke kterým patří zejména žakárové ústrojí, zámky, vzorovací kola a bubínky a mnoho jiných. Pleteniny se také často vzorují různobarevnými nitěmi. U moderních strojů je vzorování programováno a řízeno přes počítač.

Dříve se zátažné pleteniny vyráběly (na okrouhlých strojích) také z více nití předkládaných ve formě osnovy, tato (nerentabilní) technologie se však v posledních letech prakticky nepoužívá.

Vazby a druhy zátažných pletenin
K základním vazbám se počítá jednolícní, oboulícní, obourubní vazba a interlok v různých variantách. Často používané vazební elementy jsou kličky (chytové, plyšové aj.), převěšování oček, útek.

Z kombinací základních vazeb a vazebních elementů se za pomoci vzorovacích zařízení tvoří varianty, od kterých je odvozená většina názvů zátažných pletenin, např. patent, plisé, plyš, piké, ažura, petinet, intarzie, copánek atd.

Vlastnosti
Některé vlastnosti jsou závislé na vazbě zátažné pleteniny:

Z dalších vlastností se hodnotí zejména prodyšnost, tepelně izolační schopnosti, plnost, navlhavost

Použití zátažných pletenin
Spodní prádlo, punčochy, svrchní ošacení, technické výrobky, oděvní doplňky aj.

So much has been written about keeping and breeding cats, but never before has there been such a wonderful compilation of information from veterinarians, experts in the field, breeders, breed registries and many others. This much needed second edition embraces a comprehensive approach to the topic of cat breeding.
The cat fancy benefits when breeders are equipped with the knowledge and fundamentals of responsible and reputable breeding. We believe this is one of the most complete books ever published on the subject. It covers a range of topics essential to successful and responsible cat breeding.
While the edition is directed at the cat breeder, any feline fancier could benefit from the valuable information included on the pages within. No feline fanciers' library should be without a copy of The Cat Breeder's Handbook - second edition.
The easily understood information contained in this book is practical and applicable, as well as authoritative. The years of knowledge combined within the pages of The Cat Breeder's Handbook, second edition are absolutely invaluable.
