James VI & Daemonology
A Halloween Special feature Michelle Leonard @GenealogyLass as James VI as broadcast on Anne's Rock Show at EGH Radio the 30th October 2017.
In keeping with Halloween, tonight's pick from the past takes a peek into the enduring mystery that surrounds magic and witchcraft. The 16th and 17th centuries saw Europe in the grip of witch hunting mania and it is estimated some 100,000 people, mostly woman tried for the crime of 'witchcraft'. However, nowhere was it so fervently hunted out than in Scotland. It is perhaps little known that Shakespeare's the 'Scottish' Play was based on real events that took place in 1590 involving the then monarch James VI. Returning to Scotland by sea with his new bride Ann of Denmark the ship encountered a fearful storm that had James fearing for his life. Convinced witchcraft and sorcery was to blame he rounded up some 70 potential perpetrators at North Berwick amongst whom was the Geillis Duncan a healer from Tranent. No doubt the inspiration for Diana Gabaldon's character of the same name in the Outlander series.
James took a personal interest in the trial and interrogated another woman named Agnes Sampson himself. Agnes confessed she took the Devil "for her maister and reunceit Christ". It was heard that she and her fellow witches gathered in the churchyard to kiss the Devil's backside and dug up graves to get finger bones for their spells. In 1597 James published 'Daemonologie' a dialogue on the subject in three books which also touched on topics such as werewolves and vampires. From which Michelle Leonard @Genalogy Lass reads the opening lines:
The fearefull aboundinge at this time in this countrie, of these detestable slaves of the Devil, the Witches or enchanters, hath moved me (beloved reader) to dispatch in post, this following treatise of mine (...) to resolve the doubting (...) both that such assaults of Satan are most certainly practised, and that the instrument thereof merits most severely to be punished.
On succeeding Elizabeth 1st in 1603, James was alarmed at the rather more apathetic attitude of his English subjects to the problem of witchcraft and the books were republished twice. They are credited as being the inspiration behind Shakespeare's play. However, as it was first enacted in 1606 to a house packed with dignitaries and heads of state – could it perhaps have been another tool employed by James to incite fervour amongst his subjects?
Some Logistics of Emigrating in 1857
An extract from the diary of Alfred Withers in 1857, broadcast on Anne's Rock Show, Monday 23rd October 2017 on EGH Radio.
Tonight we have another extract from the diary of Mr Alfred Withers who sailed to Australia in 1857 aboard the ship the James Baines. He is waiting at the quayside to load their luggage into a steamer which would take them to the ship, moored about a mile up river. Many of the items may seem odd for passengers to be taking with them, but in those days the cabins were largely unfurnished. The company names mentioned in the extract may also be familiar to some. Heal & Son was founded in London in 1810. However, Pickfords it is alleged can trace its origins back to 'gun running' 1646.
The immense quantity of luggage, pyramids of boxes, cases and chests, the indescribable quantity of beds and bedding that one would think that Heal & Son had been completely cleared out. Water cans, pannekins, stovepots, baths – enough to open a Warehouse in the Tin Ware line.
This immense quantity of luggage in lots belonging to each passenger, there to be measured …. All excess over 40 cubic feet having to be paid for by each passenger. The steamer is capable of holding about one fourth [of] the passengers and their luggage and so everybody is anxious to get to the vessel and arrange their cabin. The squeezing crowding, pushing and confusion is fearful. We did not get the 4 cases sent down by Pickfords in time for the first boat and had to wait four hours until she returned for the second batch. We were exposed without the slightest covering to a sharp, cold strong wind and rain all this time. My companions bore it bravely, perched on luggage enveloped in rugs, shawls and umbrellas, they weathered the storm on the Rock of Luggage splendidly.
(Many thanks to local historian Jim Herbert of Berwick Time Lines for playing the role of Mr Withers so brilliantly!)
Whilst these are passengers of choice on their way to a new life in Australia, it should be remembered that many made the voyage at her majesties pleasure. Furthermore, before the outbreak of the Revolutionary War in 1775, Britain dumped its criminal detritus on the shores of America. It is estimated that some 50,000 Englishmen were sentenced to transportation to the American colonies between 1614 and 1775. Many of their names can be found in Peter Wilson Coldham's 'The Complete Book of Emigrants in Bondage' of which I have a copy. Whilst I am delighted to report there is not a single Mossman amongst them, there are a significant number of Lamberts.
The Mystery of John Webster
Broadcast on Wednesday 18th October 2017 during 'Unsigned Madness' with Stephen and Anne on EGHRadio
Hannah Clive had us all enthralled in the chat room last week with the grisly story of the discovery of a skull in what is now David Attenborough's garden in 2011. An inquiry subsequently proved the skull to be that of Julia Martha Thomas who was brutally murdered, dismembered and then boiled by her maid Kate Webster in March 1879. Body parts were scattered about London with a foot being found in Tottenham, but the majority of what was left of Mrs Thomas was unceremoniously boxed and dumped in the Thames.
Well, being a general nosey parker as well as a genealogist more digging was required. I was not disappointed – the papers of the day covered the story extensively and often graphically, such was the Victorian taste for the macabre. The lengthy transcript of her trial at the Old Bailey on the 30th June that same year is also available online.
It transpires that Kate Webster was born Catherine Lawler in Ireland in 1850. She left a veritable trail of crime in her wake and served several prison sentences for theft between 1864 & 79 using several different aliases. The case in question, however, appears to be her first and last foray into murder. Perhaps she may have evaded capture if she had not left a note with her uncle's address in Ireland at the crime scene. It was to her uncle that she fled with her five year old son and where she was apprehended on the 29th March. As a direct descendant of a gentleman who danced the hangman's jig in 1816 I was intrigued to know more about her young son. Fearing the worst I set off to find out.
A child named John Webster aged about 6 years was admitted here on March 29th. His mother was charges with the murder of a woman named 'Thomas' in London. The boy was sent to the Workhouse with an order from W Ryan R.M. to have him admitted pending inquiry being made as to his reception into an Industrial School
That was narrated by my colleague Michelle Leonard @genealogylass reading from the Poor Law Guardians minutes held in Wexford County Archives. So - the uncle washed his hands of his nephew the same day his mother was arrested. Under the Habitual Criminals Act of 1869 made provision for children under 14 of women twice convicted of 'crime' to be sent to such Schools. As such the result is not unexpected. John Webster's trail has run cold for the moment, and the lack of surviving census records in Ireland isn't helping. If the normal pattern of events unfolded John Webster would have been returned to the parish of his birth, allegedly Kingston upon Thames, or they at least would have been responsible for his costs. A little more research may be required this side of the Irish Sea.
The murderess Catherine Lawler aka Kate Webster
A Perfect Hurricane
An extract from the Log of the 'James Baines' written in 1857 as broadcast on Anne's Rock Show - Monday 16th October 2017.
Nineteenth century newspapers are crammed with adverts for – and notices of passenger ships heading to the far off corners of the globe. One such ship the 'James Baines' set sail from Liverpool on the 5th January 1857 and arrived in Melbourne on Monday 23rd March after a total number of 77 days at sea.
Aboard, was a gentleman by the name of 'Alfred Withers' who recorded the daily events on board in a diary, which is now in the possession of the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich in London. Seven days into the voyage on the 12th January the ship encountered a 'hurricane' in the Bay of Biscay of which Alfred wrote:
"Wind West, very strong Gale, a perfect Hurricane, sea what is called mountains high, but that is all nonsense. Waves are nearer higher than 30 feet, that is plenty high enough for when the ship is in the furrow of the wave they look as if they would curl over it, the sails which were not furled, blew away one after the other with a noise like the report of a Cannon, we were at last reduced to two close reefed Topsails and a fore sail in tatters, ropes snapping in every direction. Boats stove in, part of the Bulwarks washed away, the sea breaking over the vessel in beautiful style, the second cabin about two feet deep in water a sea washing down the Hatchway. Boxes and Chests afloat below, Bedding saturated, Ladies in hysterics, some on their knees praying, the scene altogether, what with the wind howling in the rigging, the sea roaring about us, the crying, laughing, praying etc below can be more easily imagined than described."
Although the ship did encounter further bad weather this alarming storm had to be by far the worst. Tune in to Anne's Rock Show every Monday from 9pm on EGH Radio for more tales of Stowaways, a dropped baby and albatross purse …

…AND THEN THE ROLLING STONE FELL IN LOVE.
Just released my freshman album "…and then the rolling stone fell in love." I was born and bred in VA, but baptized in the city of New York. Indie artist here, working double time to make it happen. I got mad love for my fans, #TEAMJC for continuing to give me support and helping to spread the word. I'm on my grind; making music, making moves, and hopefully making something you connect with. Stay tuned, everyday something new is happening, so check back to see the latest.
Last year this was the story of my life. This album is about my journey, coping with life in the midst of love's aftermath. For a rolling stone, falling in love is just as tough as falling out of love, so I decided to write down my feelings. I hope this album touches you, and reminds you that you're not alone, and that we've all been there. This album is my letter to you.

Residents return to tornado rubble
Mike Blanchfield
OTTAWA–Word of Friday's tornado reached Laurel Wingrove and Alex Carlson at a Toronto wedding, and by Sunday morning they completed the grim pilgrimage back to the apartment they've called home for four months.
Almost nothing was waiting for them.
The roof was sheared off, the second storey of the edifice was open to the sky. Shredded and twisted shards of wood and metal filled the yard, where two crushed cars were parked.
A large trash dumpster was flipped on its side.
"It could have been worse if we were here. Our bedroom's upstairs," said Carlson, 24.
"It's gone," added Wingrove, 25.
Their rural Ottawa neighbourhood of Dunrobin was one of the worst hit areas as twin tornadoes tore through Ottawa and across the Ottawa River to Gatineau, Que. on Friday.
On the Ottawa side, 51 homes were destroyed or severely damaged, and this neighbourhood saw the "brunt of the damage," said Mayor Jim Watson.
The national weather agency said a powerful twister–with winds that reached 265 km/h–ripped through Dunrobin, about 35 km west of the downtown area, before moving on to Gatineau.
Environment Canada said at almost the same time, a second, slightly-less powerful twister touched down in the south Ottawa neighbourhood of Arlington Woods.
The tornadoes caused massive damage–thrashing homes, tossing vehicles, snapping huge trees, and injuring several people, at least two of whom were admitted to hospital in critical condition.
Throughout the capital region, shaken residents began returning to some of the hardest-hit areas, taking stock of what was lost and trying to figure out what remained.
For those facing uninhabitable destruction, police, firefighters, and other emergency workers were helping them recover important documents, including identification.
For Wingrove and Carlson, some relief came quickly. A volunteer firefighter emerged with a set of file folders. Their passports were inside.
Several minutes later, a smiling firefighter handed Carlson a silver laptop computer–the one that had valuable information about two business ventures.
"The community is going to come together. And everyone's making sure we're OK," said Carlson, who also is a volunteer firefighter.
He was on crutches and wearing a cast on his left ankle yesterday–a result of a month-old injury that sidelined him from the recovery efforts.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford toured Dunrobin yesterday and pledged the province's full support to Ottawa residents recovering from Friday's tornadoes as he met with some of those hardest hit.
Ford made the promise after meeting more local residents, returning to homes the tornadoes had in some cases levelled, in the pastoral Dunrobin area littered with snapped power lines and scattered branches.
"We can replace the infrastructure, and we will. We will spare no resources in the province," Ford said, noting it was a blessing that nobody was killed.
Meeting displaced residents at a local high school, Ford offered his sympathies and reassurances.
"We're putting the resources in, we are going to get it done," he told a sobbing woman seeking refuge at the school. "It's devastating."
"It is," she replied.
The premier was accompanied by Watson as he toured houses ravaged by the twister before it jumped the Ottawa River to Gatineau.
"A lot of us have never seen anything like it," Ford said of the destruction. "It's shocking."
Ford later visited a public park in the Barrhaven area in Ottawa's south end, where volunteers had set up plastic tables in a field to feed 1,000 people their Sunday dinners.
Loudspeakers blasted classic rock music while candles lit the public bathrooms of the adjacent community centre.
"We'll get everyone back on their feet," Ford told an afternoon news conference.
Hydro crews, including extra workers from across Ontario, were working around the clock to untangle and repair fallen power lines and restore electricity to the region.
Friday's tornadoes and thunderstorms in eastern Ontario caused power outages to roughly 400,000 customers, Hydro One said last night.
The utility said about 36,000 customers still remained without power last night while Hydro Quebec reported about 4,000 customers in the Outaouais region, which encompasses Gatineau, were blacked out.
Bryce Conrad, the president of Hydro Ottawa, said some areas would not have power today or this week.
The lack of power meant a reduced work day for many today with two local school boards announcing closures for the day.
City officials, including the police chief, urged people to work at home or take the day off.
With 400 traffic lights still dark, they were trying to avoid rush hour chaos.
The Treasury Board and Statistics Canada also posted tweets yesterday telling their employees in Ottawa and Gatineau to stay home today, and if possible, work from there.

Teen Psychotic Disorder is a mental condition where a teen faces difficulty in discriminating between reality and imagination. In this mental state, the brain directs confusing signals and messages. These signals can distort any of the five senses, mainly vision and hearing, creating hallucinations and misconceptions. Generally, young adults are the group that experience their first episode of psychosis. These experiences can be terrifying and may influence the person to hurt themselves or others. Psychosis is not a common disease. It affects three out of every 100 people. This mental illness mainly affects teens but is not limited to this age group. Schizophrenia, schizophrenia-like disorders, delusional disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder are the most severe psychosis disorders.
Schizophrenia can be a severe and long-lasting disease. It occurs when areas of the brain fail to synchronize and regulate thoughts, observations, and behavior.
Only one percent of the world population is diagnosed with schizophrenia. In the USA, 3.2 million people have this severe psychosis disorder. Research indicates that women have the tendency to experience more obsessed misconceptions and hallucinations; however, men may experience more disordered and negative symptoms.
The exact cause of the teen psychosis disorder is unclear. Each case is different. There are a few diseases that can trigger psychosis. Others causes may include – lack of sleep, various environmental influences, trauma and drug use. Ailments that can trigger teen psychosis disorder such as schizophrenia include; stroke, dementia and alzheimer's, as well as brain illnesses such as, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, several chromosome related syndromes, brain cysts and tumors, certain types of epilepsy, syphilis, HIV and other brain infections.
Psychosis can be triggered by mixing alcohol and illicit drugs, such as cocaine and methamphetamine, or using hallucinogenic drugs such LSD that create a temporary hallucination.
Certain prescribed drugs like steroids and stimulants can also cause psychosis.
Lack of sleep, particularly during the teenage formative years, can cause symptoms of psychosis and/or psychotic episodes.
Seeing things that do not exist in reality.
Other numerous symptoms that a teen can experience, in the early stages of psychosis, include – difficulty concentrating, anxiety, disheartened mood, sleeping less or too much, unusual thoughts and beliefs, feelings of suspicion, and withdrawal from close relationships.
In the later stages, the symptoms visible include – delusions, hallucinations, distorted messages, deep depression, confusing manner of speaking, switching topics rapidly, often being confused about obvious known matters, poor hygiene, strange behavior, extremely slow movement in day-to-day work, suicidal thoughts, and anxiety.
The delusion is a made-up belief that the teen adheres to, that is usually in reality very far from the actual truth. There are three types of delusions: Paranoia, grandiose and somatic. With paranoia, the teen feels that he or she is being monitored. In the case of a grandiose delusion, the teen may feel that he or she is very important. Finally in the case of a somatic delusion, the teen has unusual beliefs about his/her bodily functions.
Hallucinations are physical perceptions that are not real. It is like seeing, hearing, feeling, or smelling imaginary things. People who experience hallucinations will hear people talking to them or see events occurring, when in fact they are on their own.
The treatment for teen psychotic disorder differs according to the nature of the ailment and the severity of the specific symptoms. Generally, professional doctors and clinical psychologists prescribe a course of talk therapy and medication at the same time to cure the teen completely. Talk therapy for the teen includes personal sessions, family sessions, and group sessions. The reason for the talk therapy is to identify the root of the psychotic trigger/s and address the possibly dangerous hallucinations. At Hillcrest Adolescent Treatment Center (Hillcrest), experienced doctors and clinical psychologists are dedicated to evaluate the state of the teen as well as what he or she is experiencing. According to that assessment, an individualized treatment plan is constructed. Hillcrest provides a safe oasis-like green environment with advanced tools and continuous support to maximize the road to recovery and sustain long-term healing.

KEEN'zine3
w hen you hear the name Campbell, you likely envision the iconic red and white labeled soup can. But divisions within Campbell are responsible for a wide variety of foods and many brands, including Pepperidge Farms, Pace, Bolthouse Farms, and V8, which are delivered to more than 100 countries around the world. Founded in 1869 by fruit merchant and entrepreneur Joseph A. Campbell, the company is a world leader in the food industry. Much of its success stems from gathering employee-generated ideas and consumer insights as part of new business development. Therefore, Campbell depends on intrapreneurs from within the company to identify business opportunities and create value. With more than a century of innovation, intrapreneurs keep Campbell on the leading edge. The average consumer is generally not aware of the level of innovation required to produce, package, and deliver products that are tasty, safe, and available to large markets. Campbell's desire to foster intrapreneurship among engineering students led them to partner with Dr. Ross Lee, a professor at Villanova University, to create a new type of internship. Innovative companies like Campbell want interns to be "T-shaped" — with depth in engineering skills (the stem of the "T") along with the breadth needed to articulate the business value of the assignments completed (the crossbar of the "T"). However, an innovative company needs employees with more than deep and broad skillsets. Lee and other members of Villanova's engineering faculty recognize the power of pairing the T-shaped skillset with an entrepreneurial mindset. An intern equipped in this way can demonstrate true intrapreneurship by identifying and exploring contrarian views, integrating information and feedback, and identifying unexpected opportunities to create value. They think differently than most. Over the span of three years, more than 100 corporate leaders were surveyed in order to identify key skills necessary for successful intrapreneurship. This study originated from previous work within KEEN. Lee and Dr. Leo Hanifin, retired engineering dean from the University of Detroit Mercy, compiled the results and identified collaborative learning approaches between industry and academics. Faculty from the universities of Baylor, Dayton, Detroit Mercy, and Villanova aided in the study and made extensive visits to multiple companies. The most valuable part of the study is the corporate leaders' responses to the question, "What behaviors and competencies do you want in your new engineers that would make them more effective innovators and intrapreneurs?" Lee's summary of combined responses indicates that corporate leaders are looking for "... confident, competent, opened-minded engineers who work effectively on teams that employ experimentation, analysis, and innovation to create and promote solutions that are truly responsive to customers around the globe." With more than 35 years in industry himself, Lee agrees. "Generally, interns utilize their engineering depth by working on rigorous technical problems. However, by failing to expose them to the full picture, we limit their ability to recognize business opportunities and create value for their employers and customers." Following the research study, Campbell and Lee created a prototype for a new set of internship objectives (see side panel). They announced the internship opportunity to a class of junior chemical engineering students. After narrowing the candidates, Campbell selected Nick Fonzo as its intern. A naturally entrepreneurial student, Fonzo describes himself as "having ideas spinning in my head just waiting to come out." When Fonzo began his internship, he was immediately immersed in the innovative projects. "Villanova preparedme for what I was seeing at Campbell," he says. "I saw ideas brought to life in discussions and meetings, later developed into drawings and initial prototypes, and eventually tested." Though he arrived with minimal experience in the food industry, Fonzo used this to his advantage by contributing fresh ideas. "We were working on a brand new product line," he explains. "I looked at this development from the consumer standpoint. Because I was unfamiliar with traditional solutions, I was thinking of new ideas that could be more impactful and beneficial for the consumer." To discover new opportunities, Fonzo did something that most engineering interns don't — he looked at patents. The work was connected to Villanova internship objectives B and G (see side panel). An understanding of protected intellectual property can reveal new opportunities that have not been investigated. In the same way that artists are trained to see "negative space," engineers can see opportunities among the claims within a patent. Fonzo said, "I spent a lot of time in patent white space — looking into opportunities where patents weren't followed before. I then made certain that solutions were economically feasible." For instance, Fonzo's team saw how they might use a patented 10-year- old technology in a new way. Fonzo says, "My manager and team had a novel way of approaching the challenge; I helped by making sure that this was possible from a legal standpoint." Fonzo was first introduced to patents in Villanova's opportunity identification course. "Understanding proprietary positions is important. It is a major factor in driving business opportunities," Lee says. "It helps companies avoid duplicating the work of others." Villanova's curriculum and the internship gave Fonzo a valuable takeaway. "The number one concern of industry is client satisfaction. With all of the different factors involved such as prototyping, teamwork, and research, you need to know that a customer will purchase your product before you consider pursuing the business opportunity." Similar internship opportunities will be increasingly valuable for students before they enter the workforce. As Lee puts it, "Having been responsible for hiring and staffing in my former industry roles, I would have loved to have candidates who were exposed to this type of experience. It clearly gives KEEN students an advantage." A. APPLIES ENGINEERING EXPERTISE TO SITUATION ANALYSIS AND SOLUTION DEVELOPMENT B.

Remember Fernando, Billy Crystal's character on Saturday Night Live back in the 80s?
"It is better to look good than to feel good," was one of his catchphrases. Another one was, "You look mah-vel-ous!"
I try to make my apps look mah-vel-ous, always trying to conform to Windows standards, and always trying to keep one eye on the future. I don't want my app to look too outdated when a new version of Windows (or Office, or insert any other mah-vel-ous looking app here) is released.
A few years ago (think Office 97), I developed a bad habit of creating wizards for almost any activity you could perform in my apps. They looked modern (if your users had Office 97), and it was an easy way for me to dictate how the user used the app (remember this line, it haunts me daily). Want to add a new customer? Try the Add a New Customer Wizard. It's really cool! And, best of all, it looks mah-vel-ous! Want to pack and reindex your tables? Try the File Optimization Wizard (I'm not kidding). It's so cool, and easy to use! And, best of all, it looks mah-vel-ous!
You want gradient-looking forms? Sure, I can do that.
Smooth, animated controls on forms? I can do that, too.
Want the app to look as if it were a web page instead of a desktop app? Thanks to Rick Strahl, I can do that, too.
Want that "Longhorn" feel? Yeah, I can do that, but it'll cost extra. And you better quadruple my original time estimate to calculate the delivery date.
When I show my work to (some) other programmers, or people who use computers daily and are very knowledgeable about Windows and apps in general, they sometimes say, "Kev, that looks really good." On occasion, I might even get a "You can do that with FoxPro?"
But for every one of the "knowledgeable" folks, I know a hundred people who have to use a computer for their work, but otherwise they'd like to throw the computer out the window. Most of the times I've been to client sites to see my app in action1 I get bombarded with questions and suggestions about the app. Some of the suggestions involve me jumping off a very high bridge and taking that stupid computer and piece of crap software with me.
"Piece of crap? But it looks so good!"
They don't care how it looks, they just want it to work.
They don't care how it works, as long as it is efficient and intuitive.
They don't like it when apps intimidate them.
They don't like to be taunted by an app with "You shouldn't have done that, you big dummy!" messages.
They don't care if I use Collections, Arrays, or a combination of both.
They don't care if they deleted the export file your app created for their accounting software, after they purged the data from your app and before they imported it into the accounting package. They just want to get the data back — so they can run the export again. And (again), they don't want to feel like a big dummy because they deleted the file.
If your app works 999 out of 1,000 times, users will still believe the app is a "piece of crap" - thanks to the one time it failed.
They really don't read the help files.
Maybe Fernando was wrong. Just because it's pretty doesn't make it good.
1In case you were wondering, seeing my app in action means the users have had repeated problems I've been unable to recreate in-house, so I need to go show them the "proper" way to use it – remember the dictate how they use it line earlier in the post? I'm telling you, that one haunts me every day.
2 If you work as the sole tester on your own apps, you are doing a grave dis-service to yourself and your customers. Testing your own work exclusively guarantees that at least one user will use the dreaded "piece of crap" phrase when describing your app. It can also subliminally force you into dictating how the users use your app.

How is redshift measured?
Ben Davis October 31, 2019
What temperature has the Big Bang has cooled to by now?
What is the red shift in the big bang theory?
Are there any blue shift galaxies?
What does it mean if a galaxy is blue shifted?
Is anything older than the universe?
How old is the oldest galaxy in the universe?
What are the 5 most visible planets?
How Do Astronomers Measure Redshift? The most accurate way to measure redshift is by using spectroscopy. When a beam of white light strikes a triangular prism it is separated into its various components (ROYGBIV). This is known as a spectrum (plural: spectra).
They found it to be 5.08 Kelvin (-267.92 degrees Celsius): extremely cold, but still warmer than today's Universe, which is at 2.73 Kelvin (-270.27 degrees Celsius). According to the Big Bang theory, the temperature of the cosmic background radiation drops smoothly as the Universe expands.
The Doppler red-shift of light observed from distant stars and galaxies gives evidence that the universe is expanding (moving away from a central point). This allows for Big Bang Theory, because after a "bang" occurs all of the matter moves away from the point of origin.
The simple answer to this is no, they do not. In fact, almost all galaxies are observed to have redshifts. The universe is expanding, and this "cosmological redshift" causes the light from distant galaxies to be stretched (made redder) during the time it travels from the galaxy to our telescopes.
"Blueshift" is a term that astronomers use to describe an object that is moving toward another object or toward us. Someone will say, "That galaxy is blueshifted with respect to the Milky Way", for example. It means that the galaxy is moving toward our point in space.
By combining the luminosity and spectral information with advanced models of star formation and evolution, the researchers estimated an age on the Methuselah Star of 14.46 ± 0.8 billion years, older than the accepted 13.799 billion year lifetime of the universe.
It beats the previous oldest spiral, detected in 2019, by around 1.1 billion years. The oldest known galaxy in existence remains GN-z11, which formed around 400 million years after the Big Bang, as previously reported by Live Science's sister site Space.com.
The five brightest planets – Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn – have been known since ancient times and can easily be seen with the naked eye if one knows when and where to look. They are visible for much of the year, except for short periods of time when they are too close to the Sun to observe.

The Doppler effect, or Doppler shift, describes the changes in frequency of any kind of sound or light wave produced by a moving source with respect to an observer. Waves emitted by an object traveling toward an observer get compressed — prompting a higher frequency — as the source approaches the observer.
Doppler Red-Shift Evidence The Doppler red-shift of light observed from distant stars and galaxies gives evidence that the universe is expanding (moving away from a central point). This allows for Big Bang Theory, because after a "bang" occurs all of the matter moves away from the point of origin.
Redshift and blueshift describe how light shifts toward shorter or longer wavelengths as objects in space (such as stars or galaxies) move closer or farther away from us. The concept is key to charting the universe's expansion. Visible light is a spectrum of colors, which is clear to anyone who has looked at a rainbow.
A blue shift does not mean that the object ends up blue. Thus, the Doppler effect for light is called a 'blueshift' if the light source is coming toward an observer, and a 'redshift' if it is moving away. The faster the object moves, the greater the blueshift or redshift."
There are about 100 known galaxies with blueshifts out of the billions of galaxies in the observable universe. Most of these galaxies are in our own local group, and are all in orbit about each other. Most are dwarf galaxies among them include the Andromeda Galaxy, M31, etc.
The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is indeed approaching us, by about 300 kilometers (190 miles) per second measured with respect to the Sun. The two galaxies will merge a few billion years from now. This is normal. Neighboring galaxies are bound into clusters by their mutual gravitational attraction.
Four billion years from now, our galaxy, the Milky Way, will collide with our large spiraled neighbor, Andromeda. The galaxies as we know them will not survive. In fact, our solar system is going to outlive our galaxy.
Previous simulations have suggested that Andromeda and the Milky Way are scheduled for a head-on collision in about 4 billion to 5 billion years. But the new study estimates that the two star groups will swoop closely past each other about 4.3 billion years from now and then fully merge about 6 billion years later.
What will happen when Andromeda and the Milky Way collide? The result of the collision between Andromeda and the Milky Way will be a new, larger galaxy, but rather than being a spiral like its forebears, this new system ends up as a giant elliptical.
A young galaxy forms stars and it is tinted blue, because of the bright light of new stars. Scientists suppose that in about four billion years the star formation will stop, which is almost just a blink of an eye in the life cycle of the universe. The Milky Way is dying and we don't know why.
"This is the first time we have observed a typical massive star-forming galaxy in the distant Universe about to 'die' because of a massive cold gas ejection," says Annagrazia Puglisi, lead researcher on the new study, from the Durham University, UK, and the Saclay Nuclear Research Centre (CEA-Saclay), France.
Computer simulations show that all star formation in the Milky Way will stop in about 5 billion years. That's accounting for the increase in star formation when the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy collide around that time. The product of this merger will likely be a giant, red elliptical galaxy.
Galaxies die when the stars that live in them stop forming. Now, for the first time, astronomers have witnessed this phenomenon in a distant galaxy. Scientists were able to glimpse a galaxy as it ejected almost half of the gas it uses to form stars.
MACS 2129-1 is what's known as a "dead galaxy," because stars no longer form there. The discovery of this galaxy was a head-scratcher.
As per the statement, galaxies begin to 'die' when they stop forming stars. Now they are getting to actually see how the process takes place. The galaxy is nine billion years away. Hence, what we are seeing now is when the Universe was just 4.5 billion years old.
Milky Way Galaxy = 13.6 billion years so far + 4 billion before running into Andromeda = 17.6 billion years. Earth = 4.5 billion years so far + 5 billion before being engulfed by our Sun, turned red giant = 9.5 billion years.
GN-z11
Astronomers believe that our own Milky Way galaxy is approximately 13.6 billion years old. The newest galaxy we know of formed only about 500 million years ago.
Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy
In 1936, Hubble debuted a way to classify galaxies, grouping them into four main types: spiral galaxies, lenticular galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies.

Q: Symfony based autocomplete breaks SCP autocomplete I am using the PHP tools http://robo.li and n98-magerun.phar - both are based on Sympfony's CLI components.
When I use such a autocomplete script:
https://gist.github.com/caseyfw/51bdbcb37e5dfb91b74e

#!/bin/sh
function __robo_list_cmds ()
{
      robo list --raw | awk '{print $1}' | sort
}

function __robo_list_opts ()
{
    robo list --no-ansi | sed -e '1,/Options:/d' -e '/^$/,$d' -e 's/^ *//' -e 's/ .*//' | sort
}

_robo()
{
    local cur="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}"
    COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W "$(__robo_list_opts) $(__robo_list_cmds)" -- ${cur}))
    return 0;
}

complete -o default -F _robo robo
COMP_WORDBREAKS=${COMP_WORDBREAKS//:}

It breaks the autocomplete of the scp command (which usually completes files on a remote server - but with this - unrelated - robo completion in place, scp  removes the host name from the command)
Why is that? How to fix?
EDIT
based on the answer, the fixed version is here:
https://gist.github.com/amenk/d68f1fe54b156952ced621f771ff48ba

A: This has probably nothing to do with your robo compspec. Nor with the _scp completion function associated with scp.
It is probably due to your COMP_WORDBREAKS=${COMP_WORDBREAKS//:}.
You removed : from the list of separators. Apparently _scp is robust enough to behave the same with or without : as a word separator. It returns the same list of candidate completions. But the token that gets substituted when _scp returns only one candidate for the completion of, e.g. scp host:public_ht, is host:public_ht, instead of just public_ht. Proof:
$ _foobar () { COMPREPLY=bazcux; return 0; }
$ complete -o default -F _foobar foobar
$ echo $COMP_WORDBREAKS
"'><=;|&(:

If you try to complete foobar host:public_ht, you get foobar host:bazcux because the substituted token is just public_ht. While with:
$ COMP_WORDBREAKS=${COMP_WORDBREAKS//:}
$ echo $COMP_WORDBREAKS
"'><=;|&(

if you try to complete foobar host:public_ht, you get foobar bazcux because it is the complete host:public_ht that is replaced by bazcux.
The solution to your problem is probably to adapt your _robo completion function such that it does not require that : is not a word separator. Something like:
_stem () {
    local lcur lprev
    lcur="$cur"
    stem="$lcur"
    for (( i = cword - 1; i >= 0; i -= 1 )); do
        lprev="${words[i]}"
        [[ $lcur == ":" ]] && [[ $lprev == ":" ]] && break
        [[ $lcur != ":" ]] && [[ $lprev != ":" ]] && break
        stem="$lprev$stem"
        lcur="$lprev"
    done
}

_robo () {
    local cur prev words cword
    _init_completion || return
    local stem options
    options=($(__robo_list_opts) $(__robo_list_cmds))
    COMPREPLY=()
    _stem
    COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W '${options[@]}' -- "$stem"))
    [[ $stem =~ : ]] && stem=${stem%:*}: && COMPREPLY=(${COMPREPLY[@]#"$stem"})
    return 0
}

complete -o default -F _robo robo

A much (apparently) simpler solution consists in replacing the _stem function above by the existing __reassemble_comp_words_by_ref function of the bash_completion library:
_robo () {
    local cur prev words cword
    _init_completion || return
    __reassemble_comp_words_by_ref ":" words cword
    options=($(__robo_list_opts) $(__robo_list_cmds))
    COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W '${options[@]}' -- "$cur"))
    return 0
}

complete -o default -F _robo robo

All this is probably not exactly what you want. I do not know robo.il and there are probably many improvements that would take more context into account to propose specific completions. But it may be a starting point.

Tottenham confirm that Rennes will face due to the Covid-19 outbreak
By axadle	 Last updated Dec 15, 2021
Tottenham have confirmed that their Europa Conference League match with Rennes will not take place on Thursday due to the number of positive Covid-19 cases at the club.
A number of players and staff have tested positive this week, with manager Antonio Conte clearly upset during his Wednesday press conference and described the situation as "scary".
We can confirm that our UEFA Europa Conference League Group G home match against Stade Rennais will not take place tomorrow after a number of positive cases of covid-19 at the club.
Full statement ⤵
– Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) December 8, 2021
Spurs have now confirmed that the match on Thursday will not take place, with another statement about the rearrangement of the match expected in the future.
A club statement read: "We can confirm that our home match in Group G of the UEFA Europa Conference League against Stade Rennais will not take place tomorrow (Thursday 9 December at 20:00 UK) after a number of positive cases of covid-19 at the club. Discussions are ongoing with UEFA and we will provide a further update on this match in due course.
Frank Lampard offered Everton the coaching job
Hugo Ekitike can still leave Reims in January
"In addition, following discussions with the Health Security Agency (formerly Public Health England) and DCMS advisers, the club has been advised to close the First Team area of its gym at this time, for the players' health and safety staff.
"All other areas of the training center remain in operation."
Tottenham's game against Brighton this weekend is also questionable. The club is expected to request that the match be postponed to the Premier League.
Earlier on Wednesday, Conte said: "Today, another player and another employee are positive. Tomorrow, who? Me? Another employee? I want to talk about football. This is not good for you, the fans and the staff.
"Everyone is a little scared, we all have families. I ask why? Why? Yesterday we trained and two positives, today we trained and after two more positives. Who next? It's not right, we are going home to our families."
Spurs are already a game behind the rest of their Premier League rivals, having had their trip to Burnley canceled due to bad weather.

The 2 biggest aspects when looking to purchase a new mattress, is comfort and also support.There are a few things that should take place when you lie down. You want the sinkage and contour to be right, for proper spine alignment. You also want a mattress to correctly support your body, as you sleep at night. Appropriate alignment from head to toe is essential for balanced and healthy rest and to reduce neck and back pain. A mattress should provide you with stress relief, while at the same time being supportive all around of your body. Stress points are what causes you to move around through out the night, while you are attempting to sleep. Memory foam mattresses have earned their way into the spotlight, by not only being comfortable, but as equally supportive.
This is along the exact same lines with comfort as well as support. A mattress should neither be too hard or too soft.It must be as neutral as feasible, to maintain your body and also spinal column in a neutral position.Too much rigidity in a mattress will irritate the stress factors, creating pinched nerves, in addition to the blood to stop flowing. If you wake up frequently with the sensation of pins and needles, most likely your mattress is too rigid. When the contrary occurs, with a bed that's also soft, you can obtain a concaving"hammock" effect, which will certainly create back pain from improper placement of your spine. This is why it's so important to choose a mattress that is sort of neutral. It provides support with being too right, and it's just soft enough in the right places of your body.
One of the most overlooked parts of searching for the right mattress, is the breathability of a mattress material. Also known as temperature neutrality. Among the most effective attributes of memory foam mattresses, is how they conform to your body. Foam mattresses that have reduced layers are notorious for having the oven result. Essentially,a mattress grabs your temperature,forcing you to rest also hot.|What happens in a nutshell, is that a mattress absorbs your body heat; causing you to sleep hot.}With the advancement of technology, most mattress brands these days design their own special materials. Their sole purpose is to have a mattress that has breathability, but at the same time distributes your body heat equally, allowing you to sleep cool.Some brand names get this much better than some of their rivals.

Get the lowdown ahead of Southampton Under-18s trip to face their Tottenham Hotspur counterparts at New Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday…
Tottenham U18 vs Southampton U18
Under-18 Premier League
New Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Sunday 24th March, 3pm GMT
Saints youngsters will look to record a third successive victory in the Under-18 Premier League this weekend, after victories over Swansea City and Brighton and Hove Albion.
Goals from Benni Smales-Braithwaite, Pascal Kpohomouh and Christian Norton in the first-half saw them record a 3-0 success at Staplewood against their Welsh visitors last weekend, lifting them up to fourth in the league.
And as well as the chance to play at 62,062-seat arena, with an expected crowd of 30,000 supporters for the test event at the hosts' new home, Paul Hardyman's men will be hoping to end Spurs impressive unbeaten league run.
They too enjoyed a 3-0 victory last time out against Norwich City, with goals from Dilan Markanday (2) and Armando Shashoua.
That result means they are now 2nd, four points behind their North London rivals Arsenal with two games in hand.

COACH'S THOUGHTS: Paul Hardyman
"The lads have taken on board what we've been putting into them in training and we've started seeing the results in recent weeks.
"It's a long process and we've probably got one of the biggest games in the players' lives this weekend and we've tried to put that to bed and keep it under the radar.
"There's been no real mention of it in terms of the occasion, we've just got on with our daily work in training. We'll go out to do what we've got to do on Sunday.
"It can only be a very good experience to play in front of such a big crowd, so we've been making sure the lads are prepared properly like we do every game.
"We've got to work and try to get three points. We're treating it like a normal game, even though we know it's unique with the new stadium and playing in front of that many people.
"Tottenham are a good side and we've got a few players away on international duty so we've had to factor that in. They've won 14 and drawn two so it's a fantastic record, but it has got to go at some stage I'd think so why can't it be us.
"We'll go there with a positive attitude off the back of two good results so the challenge is to maintain that. We've beaten Brighton and last week (against Swansea) was an excellent result so we've got to take that into this one."

Privatization is the process of transferring the ownership and control from public to private sector. It is the movement towards market economy for achieving greater productivity, efficiency and competitiveness.
Public enterprises came into existence with the aim of producing and distributing products and services of daily necessities at a reasonable price. During various planning periods, more than five dozens public enterprises were established to uplift the economy and different sectors of the nation. Most of the public enterprises become unable to operate their activities successfully as per their objective. These enterprises were adversely affected due to corruption, overstaffing, favoritism and hiring the non-professional employees. All of the reason lack of self-supporting and self-dependent to the enterprises. So, the government felt the need of reformation of these enterprises which lead to the privatization.Privatization is an approach to stabilizing and developing the national economy by strengthening the participation of private sector in nation building. It is the process of reducing the financial burden of the government transferring the ownership to the private sector. It aims to give the opportunity to the consumer to choose goods and services, according to their taste and requirements in terms of quality and price in open markets.
The policy of privatization in Nepal was specified for the first time in the sixth plan (2037 - 42). Such policy has been incorporated in all the subsequent development plans. The Nepal government followed the policy of privatization and economic liberalization to involve the private sector in the activities of different economic sectors. In according to plan the privatization program effectively, the government has regulated a privatization cell at the ministry of finance in 1989. Till now, 24 public enterprises have been privatized like Harisidhhi brick & shoe factory, Nepal film industry, Biratnagar jute mills, Raghupati jute mill, Hetauda textile industry, Butwal power company, Bhaktapur brick factory, Balaju textile industry, Bansbari leather & shoe factory etc.
Privatization of public enterprises is getting strong support from a business professional, government, general people, world bank and donors in the context of its goal of economic development and reduction of poverty. The majority privatized enterprises have been facing a serious problem in investment, production, income generation, employment, security and management. The privatized enterprises are lacking qualitative products due to inefficient production methods, inefficient manpower, and poor technology. Majority privatized enterprises are suffering from losses in their operation further these enterprises are facing a serious problem of security, corporate culture, and professional management.

Well if it doesn't work we just edit out both bits. Out of 4 guests I;d expect at least 2 to fall for it though.
Personally I think perhaps we should contact Loftus and see if she can plant a false memory like Alan Alda's in Alan Davis before the show. If it doesn't work no-one will know and if it does we can let Stephen have fun explaining to Alan that we've been tinkering with his mind without him knowing.
Yes - is she still messing with people's minds, then?
Oh yes - she's worse than ever.

That's an interesting test. I think I remember seeing the word fruit in list three but realising that, while the words were fruit related, the actual word fruit was not among them.
Obviously didn't work for spider, though.
I used to be scared of spiders, but have since told myself to "get a grip" :)
I have never, to my knowledge, been scared of fruit.
This isn't about false memories, but it's great, and I wanted to log it here.
You know the "tip of your tongue" phenomonon? Well it turns out that synaesthetes also experience this, and moreover they actually can just about "taste the word" on the tip of their tongue!
In one case a participant tasted tuna when she was trying to remember the word 'castanet'.
More from the brilliant psyblog
Anyway, back to false memories:
Sorry about the following long c&p:
Wells & Bradfield, 1998
Participants were asked to watch 8 seconds of grainy security camera footage showing a man walking into a store. The footage was slowed down so that participants could get as much information as possible. The quality of the video, however, was not that good.
After watching the video, participants were told that the man is a murderer. Just after the footage cuts away, the man shot and killed the store's security guard. This information is not misleading - the CCTV footage is real - as is the subsequent murder of the security guard.
Participants were then told that their job is to identify the killer from a five-person photospread. This photospread was identical to the one used in the real case except - and here's the twist - the real gunman has been removed. Having been told, though, that the gunman is in the photospread, all the participants identify one of the men.
This is where the experimenters got clever. They then introduced three different experimental manipulations:
* One group of participants were given no feedback on their choice of suspect.
* The second were told they had made the wrong choice from the photospread and that the answer was one of the other men.
* The third group, though, were congratulated: "Good, you identified the actual suspect." Although, of course, they hadn't - no one had.
After this participants were asked about many aspects of their identification including how certain they were, how good their view of the gunman was and their ability to make out the details of his face.
The results showed that simply congratulating participants on choosing the right suspect had a huge effect on their reports when compared to those told nothing and those told they were wrong. Those given positive feedback were suddenly much more sure they were right, thought the identification was easier, had a better view, thought their judgement was more trustworthy and would be more willing to testify.

Right I've spoken to Elizabeth Loftus who reckons we stand the best chance of getting a good result with the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm rather than trying to imprint a false memory before the show using the technique she used on Alan Alda. He was already making a show on false memory so didn't see anything fishy in being asked to fill in a questionnaire about it before hand. Our Alan might suspect we're trying to tinker with his brain. Anyway, she's given me Roediger and McDermott's email so I'll drop them a line and see what we can come up with.
What Health & Safety will make of our messing with people's minds I hate to think. However, as long as I never post anything on the internet about agreeing with your plans I think I'll be safe.

A new study is arguing that children's testimonies are more reliable than adults'.
They say children depend more heavily on a part of the mind that records, "what actually happened," while adults depend more on another part of the mind that records, "the meaning of what happened." As a result, they say, adults are more susceptible to false memories
The finding is counterintuitive; it doesn't square with current legal tenets, and may have important implications for legal proceedings.

Here's a nice bit of false memory. The writer Colin MacLean had diphtheria in 1928, and writes that, for many years he told people about the little side-ward he was in for three months at hospital, and how next to his bed there was a tall piece of furniture - "a wardrobe." Until, 60 years after the event, he was telling this story in front of his older sister, who had been in the same ward, and who told him it was nonsense: "There was no wardrobe, but the third bed in the small room had been occupied by a lady whose name was Wardrobe." As he puts it "My memory was a pictorial pun."

Dr. Ewen Cameron believed he had come up with a cure for schizophrenia. His theory was that the brain could be reprogrammed to think in healthy ways by forcibly imposing new thought patterns on it. His method was to make patients wear headphones and listen to audio messages looped over and over, sometimes for days or even weeks at a time. He called this method "psychic driving," because the messages were being driven into the psyche. The press hailed it as "beneficial brainwashing."
During the 1950s and early 1960s, hundreds of Cameron's patients at Montreal's Allan Memorial Clinic became his unwitting test subjects — whether or not they actually had schizophrenia. Some patients checked in complaining of problems as minor as menopause-related anxiety, only to find themselves sedated with barbiturates, strapped into a bed, and forced to listen for days on end to messages such as "People like you and need you. You have confidence in yourself."
One time, to test the technique, Cameron placed patients into a drugged sleep and made them listen to the message, "When you see a piece of paper, you want to pick it up." Later he drove them to a local gymnasium. There, lying in the middle of the gym floor, was a single piece of paper. He happily reported that many of them spontaneously walked over to pick it up.
When the CIA learned of what Cameron was doing, it became interested and started surreptitiously channeling him money. But eventually the agency concluded that Cameron's technique was a failure and cut his funding, prompting Cameron himself to admit that his experiments had been "a ten year trip down the wrong road." In the late 1970s a group of Cameron's former patients filed suit against the CIA for its support of his work and reached an out-of-court settlement for an undisclosed amount of money.

Perhaps as a note to this, or to the Paris syndrome question is the strange story of the Oxford man who believed that he was mentally ill. His doctors disagreed which led to a strange paradox; either he was mentally ill, and so the belief was nothing to worry about, or he wasn't mentally ill, in which case he was deluded and therefore mentally ill.

Forgetting that is constitutive in the formation of a new identity;
Structural amnesia;
Forgetting as annulment;
Forgetting as planned obsolescence;
Forgetting as humiliated silence.

About 99% of my previews aren't showing up most of the time and I just have gray boxes. Then when I click on one of the random gray boxes to try to guess what photo I was looking for it takes like 30 seconds or longer to load if it decides to load at all. All of the images are showing up fine on the PC. It's close to the point that the mobile app is being almost unused.
My Lightroom is updated. Android is up to date. From my research online I have found other people with this problem who are running it on IOS. So I know it's not just acting weird with Android . It starts to work temporary when I switch storage from SD card to the phone sometimes. Reinstalling the app and clearing the cache were also tried. Also rebooting the phone and letting Lightroom being the only app running, because I figured maybe it was a RAM thing. That one also didn't work. I also tried deleting stuff off my phone to free up storage to see if that would do anything, it did nothing.
Please someone have a solution.
Look at this... If it's the same, it's at "server side".
Are you still seeing his issue?
Yes, I'm still getting this issue.
If you go to http://lightrooom.adobe.com and log in with the same Adobe ID you are using on your LIghtroom CC for mobile device do you see thumbnails or empty boxes?
In the Lightroom on the browser they work pretty fine and they also are perfectly fine on Lightroom CC on the PC. I am only having the issue for the phone.


Using our mortgage comparison tools we've quickly searched and displayed all the 10 year fixed rate mortgages on the market today. See how the interest rates compare between lenders and use the search facility to find and select the best 10 year fixed rate deal for you.
What are the requirements to qualify for a 10 year fixed rate mortgage?
Why would I want to fix my mortgage for this long?
Interest rates have been at a record low of 0.5% for around 10 years now and with the economy showing some early signs of recovery there will inevitably have to be an interest rate increase at some point over the next couple of years. When that happens mortgage interest rates will also go up accordingly. This is where you can give yourself protection from interest rate rises for the next ten years by taking out a 10 year fixed rate mortgage.
There is little difference between the requirements for a 10 year fixed rate mortgage and other fixed rate mortgages. However you are likely to find that you can qualify for some of the best 10 year fixed rate mortgage deals with a slightly higher maximum LTV than for other lengths of deal. You can access some of the best deals with an LTV of around 70%, but in order to have the largest choice of deals you will need an LTV of around 60% or lower.
Even though the interest rates you will pay on a 10 year fixed rate mortgage will initially be higher than for other lengths of fixed term deal you will find that as soon as you go beyond the two year point that you will find yourself paying less interest than those who took out the two year deal and in order to get back onto a fixed rate they will also have to pay more fees. So if you want to make sure your mortgage payments remain fixed and affordable for the next ten years, this is the length of fixed rate mortgage deal for you.
The main thing to watch out for with a ten year fixed rate mortgage is any restriction that are part of the deal. These can include early repayment fees and a limit on the amount of money you can pay off the mortgage each year. If you are not predicting having the money to make a lump sum payment off your mortgage, then this could be an ideal way for you to save money over the ten years as you will know that your mortgage payments will not rise.


Stone fountains come in many sizes. The very large fountains typically found in parks and large estates are generally assembled from many pieces of stone like a jigsaw puzzle, so that the pieces are of manageable size and weight. There are also small standing and wall mounted fountains that can adorn either an indoor or outdoor space.
This fountain is on display in the city of San Francisco. It is 15 feet in diameter, assembled from many separate pieces. A replica of this unique piece was recently located on a Bay Area estate and is available for sale. Call us for more information.
This fountain is assembled from 3 pieces and secured to the wall with masonry products and plumbed.
This marble fountain is approximately 150 to 250 years old and is constructed of 13 pieces of hand carved Calacotta Supremo stone. It sits at a height of 2 feet and 3 inches, 8 inches thick, with a tapering curve of 6 inches. It is made to create a bowl-like finish. This fountain is currently on installed on the grounds of the Caymus Winery in Napa California.
A lovely Spanish style courtyard such as this would be unthinkable without a fountain center piece.

Interventional Pain Management Specialist Dr. Kaliq Chang with Atlantic Spine Center with tips on spinal triggers and treatments of shoulder woes
Thursday, January 9, 2020 General News
When is Shoulder Pain Caused by Spine Problems?
WEST ORANGE, N.J., Jan. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- When our shoulder hurts, we naturally assume we have a problem in, well, the shoulder. But in reality, shoulder pain often indicates a spine problem, according to Kaliq Chang, MD, of Atlantic Spine Center.
Shoulder pain and injuries certainly aren't rare, accounting for nearly 20% of visits to doctor's offices, according to the Cleveland Clinic. But our bodies don't always report pain in dependable ways, explains Dr. Chang, an interventional pain management specialist.
With 8 nerve roots stemming from each side of the cervical spine in the neck, 5 of these roots pass through part of the shoulder on each side. If any of these nerve roots become pinched or irritated, pain and other resulting symptoms can land in the shoulder area. This is known as "referred pain," which is felt somewhere other than where it originates, Dr. Chang says.
"Sometimes, pain in our shoulder is really due to an undiagnosed or unrecognized condition in the cervical spine," Dr. Chang says. "That's because the neck and shoulder are highly connected by many nerve pathways. While it can seem puzzling, it actually makes perfect sense that shoulder pain can be caused by spine problems."
Symptoms and causes of shoulder pain from the spine According to Dr. Chang, when a nerve root in the neck gets pinched – a scenario known medically as cervical radiculopathy – shoulder pain and other symptoms can feel:
Sharp and severe
Dull or mild
In one place, such as the shoulder blade, or radiating from shoulder to arm
Tingling and numbness
Occasional or constant weakness
Pain, numbness or tingling past the elbow
Of course, nerves in the cervical spine don't get pinched all by themselves. Several spine problems in the neck area can trigger these shoulder symptoms, Dr. Chang says. These conditions include:
Degenerative disc disease, which occurs when discs lose water content from within
Herniated disc, which happens when the disc's outer layer tears and lets inner gel leak out
Osteoarthritis, the "wear and tear" form of the disease that can happen in almost any joint
Foraminal stenosis, which occurs when a nerve root becomes compressed while passing through a small hole called a foramen in the bony vertebrae
"Other, less-likely conditions such as a spinal tumor can also potentially cause pinched nerves in the neck that trigger shoulder pain," Dr. Chang says. "But the vast majority of the time, should pain originating in the neck has a straightforward cause that isn't dangerous and can be readily addressed."
Extensive treatment options
Like most pain originating in the spine, shoulder pain from spine problems tends to ease on its own within several weeks, Dr. Chang says. But if pain persists, or your range of motion is seriously affected, it's best to see a doctor. "Occasionally, permanent nerve damage can occur if the problem isn't monitored or treated," he says.
To diagnose a spine condition causing shoulder pain, tests such as x-rays, CT or MRI scans may be used to visualize the body's hard and soft tissues. A nerve conduction test known as electromyography, or EMG, can also tell your doctor if your symptoms are caused by pressure on spinal nerve roots.
In the meantime, a variety of non-surgical treatments may help. These include:
Soft cervical collar, which can help reduce nerve root pinching
Physical therapy, which can teach you exercises to strengthen neck muscles, reduce pain and improve range of motion
Medications such as NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) or prescription oral corticosteroids, which can cut swelling and inflammation around spine nerves
Steroid injections near the affected nerve
"If conservative treatments don't help, surgery may be recommended as a last resort to relieve symptoms," Dr. Chang explains. "A variety of procedures can tackle the cervical radiculopathy that underlies shoulder pain, and a thorough work-up will almost always reveal an ideal solution."

Easter is a popular holiday in several countries across the world, and Jamaica is no exception.
During this time, our American counterparts get busy painting Easter eggs, having egg hunts and adorning their spaces with images of the Easter Bunny.
And as time progressed, I have watched many of these American traditions slowly being affixed in Jamaica. For example, easter egg hunts.
Don't get me wrong now. Nothing is wrong with us adopting parts of cultures from other countries. This is a globalized world after all. However, I believe that the preservation of cultural traditions is essential in order to retain one's unique identity.
Anyways, back to your question... What do Jamaicans do for Easter?
For us Jamaicans, Easter is like Christmas in March (or April).
Well, just like Christmas, Easter is synonymous with food, family, friends and religion.
While a few traditions are not as popular amongst the younger generation, there have been several traditions that have remained relevant.
I'll now highlight six (6) of the popular Easter traditions in Jamaica with you.
Right at the top where it belongs... when you make mention of a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation, the Jamaica bun and cheese Easter tradition is the first thing that comes to my mind.
Like many other aspects of our culture, the bun and cheese tradition has been derived from our colonial masters, the British.
In actuality, the Jamaican bun is a descendant form of the Britain's hot cross bun. These hot cross buns had a biblical implication as they were marked with a cross which symbolizes the crucifixion and were usually eaten on Good Friday.
After colonization the tradition became affixed in the island. The buns have somewhat evolved though. The shape has changed from round to rectangular loaves, and molasses are used instead of honey.
Buns are now purchased as opposed to being baked at home as well. As a result, our supermarkets are usually jam-packed with Easter buns in various sizes and in all brands. Combined with cheese, this delicacy is an Easter staple.
Since the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ forms the foundation of Easter, being a religious society, Jamaica incorporates various religious activities for this holiday.
The Thursday leading up to Easter (Sunday) is known as Holy Thursday, while the Friday leading up to Easter (Sunday) is called Good Friday.
Some churches hold church service, primarily night services, on both days. However, the main event is on Easter Sunday.
Regular church goers, and even party goers alike, take time to out to visit their local churches on Easter Sunday for worship.
Bun and cheese isn't the only Easter delicacy. During the Easter season individuals usually substitute meat for fish in their meals.
This meatless diet usually starts during lent and continues during Easter. Fish is however prepared according to one's personal preference.
Fried fish, escoveitched fish, steamed fish… it's all up to you. You may read more about our favourite fish recipes here.
Partying and Get-togethers – The Easter holiday begins on Good Friday and continues up to Easter Monday.
With such a long break from work and school it's a great time to catch up with family and old friends.
Family and friends usually gather to play games such as ludo, dominos and cards; eat meals and dance along to reggae music pumping from the speakers.
Beach Trips are also a common activity during the Easter season. Individuals also arrange for visits to local attractions and other historical sites.
For all the party animals, easter in Jamaica comes with a host of revelries for you to attend.
While some choose to spend their Easter in church, others choose to gallivant and dance along the streets while being scantily dressed in colorful costumes.
Jamaican Carnival began in the 1990s and has become an important part of the easter celebrations, especially amongst the younger generation.
This grand celebration usually include road marches, fetes, beach jouverts and performances by soca artists from all over the Caribbean and other energy packed events that gets patrons fired up.
However, the most fascinating thing about carnival is definitely the costumes which are always brightly coloured and accentuated with feathers and gems.
Since carnival also includes music there are always bands. Some popular carnival bands are : Xaymaca International, Xodus Carnival, Bacchanal Jamaica and Jamaica Carnival.
This is an old tradition that's is common amongst older folks. Basically, an egg white is dropped into a glass of water before Good Friday morning.
It is believed that when the sun rises, the shape of the egg white predicts the future of the person who sets the egg.
For instance, if the egg white takes the shape of a ship, it predicts that the person will be travelling overseas in the coming years.
And then there is the plane and the casket, so go figure!
But what about you? How do you spend your time during Easter? Please share it with me in the comments below.
And before you go... how about a Jamaican easter bun recipe? Here's a great and simple one.

The Bible Is Influencing World News
Nothing Hollywood does is without a propaganda (AGENDA) motive. To the untrained eye, Hollywood movies like "The Theory Of Everything" movie about Stephen Hawking, appear perfectly innocent but the Hawking movie makes it perfectly clear that Hawking is a genius and Hawking is an "atheist".
The New World Order is a godless world order in which the world will worship the World King as their god. This is defined in the Protocols of Zion, an authentic document that has been discredited by the Zionist propaganda machine to cover up their mission.
Protocols: The Document That Explains Everything
EXODUS - THE TRUE STORY
Please research this for yourself.
Exodus is another new Hollywood release that retells the same old revisionist story about the persecuted Jews being kicked out of Egypt and fleeing to the land promised to them by god - which they named Israel. There is not one ounce of documented archaeological evidence for such an event ever taking place. It's a complete fabrication.
Six hebrew Kings ruled Egypt as the fifteenth dynasty Hyksos Kings for 100 years as foreigners known as the "Habirus"or "Hapirus" (Hebrews). Their leader, Thutmoses III, invaded the neighboring land of Canaan which had been settled by the Philistines (today's Palestinians). The Hebrews stole the land of the Philistines and divided it up into 12 tribal regions. They renamed the land ISRAEL. IS (Egyptian fertility Goddess Isis) RA (Egyptian Sun god) El (Hebrew God).
The Romans burned down the Jewish temple and burned Jerusalem to the ground. The real exodus of the Jews was the flight of the 12 Hebrew tribes from the land of Canaan stolen from the Philistines (Palestinians). The Romans gave the land back to the Philistines (Palestinians) and renamed the land Palestine.
It took over a thousand years for the Zionist Jews to reconquer the land of the Palestinians. The Rothschild Zionists negotiated the terms for ending World war II. Read Lord Balfour's letter to Lionel Rothschild promising the land of Palestine to the Zionist Jews!
balfour declaration letter - Google Search
The Rothschild Zionists renamed the land called Palestine - "Israel" in 1945. Since then, the Zionist Jews have bombed, tortured, killed and herded Palestinians into smaller and smaller tracts of land (Gaza and Golan Heights) and persecuted them mercilessly as they build illegal Jewish settlements on their land, build walls, cut off food and medical supplies and make life for the Palestinians a torturous living hell.
Of the 12 Hebrew tribes that fled from Israel in the first century, the Tribe of Dan was the most powerful Hebrew tribe. They fled north through Europe leaving sign posts of their migration route by naming towns and cities after their leader "Dan" like the Danube River, Jordan River, Danmark (Denmark) meaning the "mark of Dan." The tribe of Dan used a snake as it's symbol on its ships and became the dreaded Vikings (VI = 6) The VI-Kings = 6 Kings. Viking King Canute, became the King of Denmark, Sweden and England!
Today's British royals including Prince William and Queen Elizabeth are descendants of the Viking Kings (Hebrew Tribe of Dan). The United Kingdom is the RE-UNITED kingdom of the 12 tribes of Israel. The Union Jack is the "Union of Jacob" - patriarch of the Jewish tribes. Britain means "land of the covenant" (of Abraham) and British means "man of the covenant" (of Abraham).
TODAY'S NEWS - WILLIAM VISITS NEW YORK
Prince William, (the 999th Knight of the Garter cult) will be crowned King in 2015 at the Masonic age of 33. The number 999 is 666 upside down. Prince Charles will be by-passed for violating the "no divorce" rule. Watch for the Queen's announcement of William's coronation ceremony in 2015.
While the movie "Exodus" was playing in theaters... where did William go while visiting the USA? To Cleveland to see Lebron James play basketball. Lebron James has been dubbed King James by the media (like King James of the King James Bible). Meanwhile, in the news, 150 children were massacred (sacrificed) in Pakistan - alluding to the killing of the first born children described in the Bible.
The bible is being played out in real life and it provides a prophetic formula for global control and one world government under one world ruler called the antichrist. The Christian world is being tricked into passisvely waiting, believing and expecting that Jesus Christ will defeat him.
