Alan Lloyd Hodgkin
Sir Alan Lloyd Hodgkin (1914-1998) is a British physiologist and biophysicist, who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1963 for his work with Andrew Fielding Huxley on the basis of action potentials in nerves, the electrical impulses that enable the activity of an organism to be coordinated by a central nervous system. With Huxley he hypothesized the existence of ion channels, confirmed decades later.
The experimental measurements on which the pair based their action potential theory represent one of the earliest applications of a technique of electrophysiology known as the "voltage clamp". The second critical element of their research was the so-called giant axon of Atlantic squid (Loligo pealei), which enabled them to record ionic currents as they would not have been able to do in almost any other neuron, such cells being too small to study by the techniques of the time. The experiments took place at the University of Cambridge beginning in the 1930s and continuing into the 1940s, after interuption by World War II. The pair published their theory in 1952.
Australian Sir John Carew Eccles shared the 1963 award.

POPE'S MESSAGE | St. Joseph shows us how profoundness of the heart grows with silence

In his audience Dec. 15, Pope Francis talked about learning from Joseph how to cultivate spaces for silence to let Jesus emerge
Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
Let us continue our journey of reflection on St. Joseph. After illustrating the environment in which he lived, his role in salvation history and his being just and the spouse of Mary, today I would like to consider another important personal aspect: silence. Very often nowadays we need silence. Silence is important. I am struck by a verse from the Book of Wisdom that was read with Christmas in mind, which says: "While gentle silence enveloped all things, your all-powerful word leaped from heaven." (In) the moment of greatest silence, God manifested Himself. It is important to think about silence in this age in which it does not seem to have much value.
The Gospels do not contain a single word uttered by Joseph of Nazareth: nothing, he never spoke. This does not mean that he was taciturn, no: there is a deeper reason. With his silence, Joseph confirms what St. Augustine writes: "To the extent that the Word — the Word made man — grows in us, words diminish." To the extent that Jesus — the spiritual life — grows, words diminish. What we can describe as "parroting," speaking like parrots, continually, diminishes a little. John the Baptist himself, who is "the voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord'" (Matthew 3:3), says in relation to the Word, "He must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30). This means that He must speak and I must be silent, and with his silence, Joseph invites us to leave room for the Presence of the Word made flesh, for Jesus.
Joseph's silence is not mutism; it is a silence full of listening, an industrious silence, a silence that brings out his great interiority. "The Father spoke a word, and it was His Son," comments St. John of the Cross, "and it always speaks in eternal silence, and in silence it must be heard by the soul."
Jesus was raised in this "school," in the house of Nazareth, with the daily example of Mary and Joseph. And it is not surprising that He Himself sought spaces of silence in His days (Matthew 14:23) and invited His disciples to have such an experience by example: "Come away by yourselves to a lonely place, and rest a while" (Mark 6:31).
How good it would be if each one of us, following the example of St. Joseph, were able to recover this contemplative dimension of life, opened wide in silence. But we all know from experience that it is not easy: silence frightens us a little, because it asks us to delve into ourselves and to confront the part of us that is most true. And many people are afraid of silence, they have to speak, and speak, and speak, or listen to radio or television … but they cannot accept silence because they are afraid. The philosopher Pascal observed that "all the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber."
Dear brothers and sisters, let us learn from St. Joseph how to cultivate spaces for silence in which another Word can emerge, that is, Jesus, the Word: that of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, and that Jesus brings. It is not easy to recognize this voice, which is very often confused along with the thousand voices of worries, temptations, desires, and hopes that dwell within us; but without this training that comes precisely from the practice of silence, our tongue can also ail. Without practicing silence, our tongue can also ail. Instead of making the truth shine, it can become a dangerous weapon. Indeed, our words can become flattery, vainglory, lies, backbiting and slander. It is an established fact that, as the Book of Sirach reminds us, "many have fallen by the edge of the sword, but not so many as have fallen because of the tongue" (28:18). Jesus said this clearly: whoever speaks ill of his brother or sister, whoever slanders his neighbor, is a murderer (Matthew 5:21-22). Killing with the tongue. We (seem to) not believe this, but it is the truth. Let us think a little about the times we have killed with the tongue: we would be ashamed! But it will do us good, a great deal of good.
Biblical wisdom affirms that "death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits" (Proverbs 18:21). And the apostle James, in his Letter, develops this ancient theme of the power, positive and negative, of the word with striking examples, and he says: "If any one makes no mistakes in what he says he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also… So the tongue is a little member and boasts of great things … With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing" (3:2-10).
This is why we must learn from Joseph to cultivate silence: that space of interiority in our days in which we give the Spirit the opportunity to regenerate us, to console us, to correct us. I am not saying to fall into muteness, no, but to cultivate silence. May each one look within themselves: often we work on something and when we finish, we immediately look for our telephone to do something else … we are always like this. And this does not help, this makes us slip into superficiality. Profoundness of the heart grows with silence, silence that is not mutism as I said, but which leaves space for wisdom, reflection and the Holy Spirit. Sometimes we are afraid of moments of silence, but we should not be afraid. Silence will do us so much good. And the benefit to our hearts will also heal our tongue, our words and above all our choices. In fact, Joseph combined silence with action. He did not speak, but he acted, and thus showed us what Jesus once told his disciples: "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 7:21). Fruitful words when we speak, and remembering that song: "Parole, parole, parole…" (words, words, words), and nothing of substance. Silence, speaking in the right way, and at times biting your tongue a little, which is good for you instead of saying foolish things.
Let us conclude with a prayer:
St. Joseph, man of silence,
you who in the Gospel did not utter a single word,
teach us to fast from vain words,
to rediscover the value of words that edify, encourage, console and support.
Be close to those who suffer from words that hurt,
like slander and backbiting,
and help us always to match words with deeds. Amen.
— Pope Francis

The firm represented a developer in its successful challenge to the authority of a township to require a developer to construct new sidewalks for the public on established county roads around the outer boundary of its subdivision, where the county and township had no sidewalks. In First DeWitt II, LLC v Charter Twp of DeWitt, an unpublished decision of the Court of Appeals, Docket No. 243217 (2003), the Court of Appeals held that the Township lacked such authority and upheld the developer's right to construct its proposed subdivision without sidewalks along the outer boundary.

Peko Mine
Tennant Creek Mining Application – 1903 Mining Act – Tennant Creek Register
Lease Number – 324
Area – 40 acres
Applicant – William Bohning; Joseph Kaczinski.
Location – approximately 6 miles east of the Pinnacles and 2 miles north of the Rising Sun
Name – Peko
Date – 12 May 1934
A tribute to Joe Kaczinski, a dear friend of my father Frank William Griggs, 1934 to 1953.
"Little did Joe know that in time the gold bearing rock cave that his blue-heeler dog "Peko" discovered made Peko Wallsend world known. Joe sold his lease to .. (check- Rudolph Schmidt of Alroy Downs, Schmidt then sold to ..)
From the sale money Joe retired to the Roper River for the fishing." written by Iris Griggs
(it is suggested that the pup was named Peko, because his kennel was a "Pekoe" tea chest)
The Peko Mine was located in 1934 and small gold mining operations commenced that year, and is situated ten kilometres east from Tennant Creek, and the gold mine lies on an extensive alluvial plain, common to the Tennant Creek goldfield. This flat lying area is almost devoid of rock outcrops with the exception of a single massive blue-black quartz hematite body. There was no indication of copper above 200feet level and in the sixteen year period 1935-1951 a mere 16,080 tons of ore were extracted, assaying about 15dwts to the ton.
Activities were terminated in 1942 during World War 2.
In 1947 a company Peko Gold Mines No Liability was formed, managed by Mr W MacDonald and has recently started to dewater the mine as a preliminary step towards further mining activity.
The company in 1950 erected its own treatment plant for the extraction of gold and copper from the ore. The low recovery by amalgamation is reported to be due to the very fine grainsize of the gold and the readiness of the ore to "slime"
The mine is reached by following a well-formed sealed road from the township to the No3 Government Battery and then due east along a fire ploughed road. The road is traversable for most of the year, but is impassable for a short period during the annual wet season from December to February.
The surface and underground plans … all levels except the 210 foot level were accessible at this time. Some of the levels had native timbers of carbeen, snappy gum and mulga used as supports.
A small but rich dome of oxidised copper ore had been driven through on the 200foot level in 1950. With limited funds available at the time, assessment of the ore-body was slow and cautious.
by early 1953 it became apparent that a body of copper was coming into existence; fresh capital was called in and the Company started to develop the mine and to erect a plant to produce copper concentrate.
Orlando Mine ..Ivanhoe Mine .. Juno Mine
Peko Mines operates as a subsidiary of Peko-Wallsend Investments Limited, which has interests in coal, beach sands, and tin as well as copper gold and silver
David Tapsell Collection: (includes 21 photographs and comment)
I worked at the Peko Mine in 1968–69 as the Engineering Draftsman; in 1973 I returned to the company in the same position, but now based at the Warrego Mine. In 1968, Peko-Wallsend Pty. had several mines operating in the Tennant Creek district: Peko, Juno, Orlando, Ivanhoe, and Warrego which was due to begin production in 1970 or '71. When I first saw the Warrego Mine, in October 1968, the (main) shaft sinkers had got down to approximately 120 feet from the surface. The main output of these mines was copper and gold; and bismuth in smaller amounts.
The Peko Mine was originally sunk as a gold mine, but as the mine deepened copper was found in significant quantities, and years later more gold was found under the copper. Some of the copper was so pure that superb examples of 'native copper' could be found underground; but the best example of native copper I have came from the Orlando Mine. The Peko Mine closed in the mid-1970s, and not much of the place remains, although the remaining thousands of tons of 'tailings' are currently being re-assessed for any trace gold, copper or bismuth content. The whole of the Tennant Creek mining district is now being re-examined using the latest methods of finding mineralisation – and perhaps there is even more (payable) gold and copper to be mined there.

This is the view, in early 1969, of the headframe from the top of a recently constructed fine ore bin. On the right is the underground fitters' workshop; further back is the winder house and its attached crib room, and even further back are some of the Company houses for the married staff. My accommodation was out of the picture to the right, where the single staff lived.
To the right of the headframe was the underground fitters workshop; beyond the headframe was the winder house. Halfway up the back of the headframe was a shed-like structure, inside of which the bottom-dump skips discharged their loads into the two coarse ore bins located under the shed. From the bottom of the bins the ore was fed via an apron feeder to the 24″ x 36″ jaw crusher – this was where and when the primary stage crushing process took place. At this stage the ore had been reduced to minus 5″ in size; it was then fed onto the belt conveyor (shown centre-left of picture) which took it to the top of the surface stockpile, where it remained until proceeding to the second stage crushing. About 500 tons of copper ore a day went through the jaw crusher.
After the Peko Mine closed in 1975, I think that the headframe was eventually dismantled and re-erected, in a modified form, at the Argo Mine near Tennant Creek. The cost-saving modifications were to operate the headframe to wind a cage/skip in a single compartment of the new shaft, with a counterweight to compensate for the loss of natural balance of the original coupled twin-rope winding system that the Peko shaft had with its two haulage compartments.
The Peko headframe, with the winder house on the right. The hoisting was done by a 350–horsepower AC second motion winder. Hoisting speed of the 2½–ton bottom dump skips was 1,000 feet per minute.
Looking up the steps that ran halfway up one of the legs of the headframe to a walkway across the back of the frame where the skip unloading chutes were located. Access to the top platform was via more steps at the side of the headframe – seen on the left at the top. The top platform on which the two head-sheaves were located was 85 feet from ground level. The twin head-sheaves were 9 ft. diameter.
The twin 9 ft. diameter headsheaves, and their bearing blocks on the top of the headframe. The winding rope at Peko was 1.125 inch diameter, 6 by 7/3 pre-formed Langs lay-flattened strand. The ropes were changed at 18 month intervals. To keep the ropes and sheaves lubricated they were covered in thick grease. Hoisting in the main shaft was done with a 350 hp second motion winder, with liquid rheostat control.
One of the twin winding ropes – the handrail is caked with the lubricating grease that has been flung from the head-sheaves when the winding was at full speed. The winding rope was 1.125″ diameter, and when hoisting 2½–ton bottom-dump skips the winding speed was approximately 1,000 ft. per minute. Hoisting in the main shaft was done with a 350–hp second motion winder, with liquid rheostat control.
Looking down one of the headframe legs from the top platform level. Attached to the winder house was the crib room.
Centre of the picture is the fan on top of a vent shaft; on the left a front-end loader cleans up material that has spilled from the conveyors. The main ventilation of the Peko Mine was by a 54″ Aerex G-series axial flow fan driven by a 25–hp electric motor, and exhausting about 50,000 cfm. A second surface fan exhausted the upper section of the mine; this was a 12.5–hp Richardson fan pulling about 15,000 cfm. Auxiliary ventilation underground was provided by 5 hp, 15″ Meco electric fans and 12″ Meco air fans. This photo was taken from the top of a fine–ore bin.
In this photograph, taken in December 1968, the two cages are held just above the shaft collar level – the safety gate is open on the left shaft compartment. The cages were used for hauling men and equipment between the underground levels and the surface. On the rail track turntable can be seen a trolley carrying oxygen and acetylene (or propane) cylinders, and a cutting torch on long hoses. Next to the trolley is a side-tipping ore truck body.
The space above the shaft collar, inside the headframe, is known as the sky-shaft – where the skips were hauled up into (above ground level) so they could discharge their contents into the coarse ore bins. In the background can be seen buildings that were part of the Mill area – where the post-crushing process of ore grinding and flotation took place.
Peko Mine had a three-compartment main shaft, 15′-10″ x 4′-6″ inside the timbers. Shaft timber work consisted of 8″ x 8″ oregon frame sets, and swung at 6 ft centres. The shaft guides were 6″ x 4″ karri timber, bolted to angle-iron brackets. The cages and skips were equipped with safety grippers and rubber-tyred rollers running on the timber shaft guides.
The cages used in the main shaft were 3′-10″ x 4′-2″ inside by 9′-7″ high. Each cage could carry up to eight men – or one Eimco 12B bogger on its own. Hoisting of ore was done in 2.5 ton capacity bottom dump skips at a rate of 1,000 feet per minute from loading stations at the 920′, 1,040′ and 1,190′ levels. In late 1968 I began the drawings of a new loading station for the 1,320 ft level.
The underground levels were spaced 150 ft. apart; the main cross-cuts were 11′ wide by 7′ high and drives were 7′ wide by 7′ high. Draw-point cross-cuts were also 7′ x 7′ – with an average spacing of 30ft. Raises were generally 5′ x 5′ in cross-section; sub-level drives were 6′ wide by 5′ high. Long raises were usually done at 60° inclination, using pipe ladders pinned to the slope.
About 100,000 gallons of water were pumped daily out of the Peko Mine; this was done by Ajax 2L-3 all-bronze pumps mounted in tandem units and driven by a 25 hp motor. There were two pump units, with independent rising mains on main sumps at 300 to 400 ft intervals. Inter-level drainage to the main sumps was through AX diamond-drill holes. PVC pipe was used in the rising mains as the original galvanised pipe was unable to cope with the severe corrosion.
The top of the Peko Mine main shaft in December 1968. Under the headframe can be seen two 2½–ton bottom-dump skips suspended next to the shaft collar as both shaft compartments were hauling cages when the photo was taken. In the left-centre of the picture are a couple of the so-called boggers – these are Eimco 12B loaders, or rocker shovels — they were used underground for loading ore into waiting trucks; the one on the left has its destination chalked on its side – the mine level at 980 feet below the surface. These machines were powered by compressed air; they were worked very hard and had to be sent up to the surface frequently for repair work in the underground fitters' workshop which was adjacent to the headframe. In the immediate foreground is an upturned, side-tipping ore truck chassis. The gauge of the underground rail track at Peko was only 18-in.; whereas, when the Warrego Mine (40-odd miles to the west of the Peko Mine) began operations in about 1970 all the underground track work used 24-inch gauge. At ground level, under the crane hook on the right of the picture, was a small steel turntable used to rotate tracked equipment, like trucks and boggers, by 90° to line them up with the short track into the workshop.
The secondary stage ore crushing process was done by a Symons cone crusher – almost hidden by the steel work surrounding it, although its large electric motor can be seen in the centre of the photo. The minus-5″ ore fed into this 4¼ ft. diameter rotary cone crusher was finally reduced to less than ¾" in size. Any oversize ore that did get through the cone crusher was intercepted by an 8 ft. x 4 ft. vibratory screen, which rejected it and re-routed it back into the crushing circuit, to repeat the crushing operation.
Following the crushing process was the grinding process: this was done initially in rotating rod mills to reduce the ore even further (to minus 14 mesh), and then in ball mills to less than 300 mesh.
In January 1969 an old and redundant ball mill had been refurbished with new bearings and liners, and installed as part of an auxiliary grinding circuit. It was fed by a screw conveyor, and the ground product from the mill was taken by bucket elevator to the top of a new storage bin.
February 1969: refurbished ball mill had been charged with new 1-inch diameter balls for final grinding of ore.
Bucket Elevator February 1969: the elevator for handling the final ground ore.
This was the view looking approximately north from the top of the headframe. The circular tanks are part of the ore treatment plant known as the Mill; behind them is a fenced-off compound that was part of the stores department – in there was the stock of steel plates, structural sections, pipes, timber, and anything else that could be left outside.
Running across the photo from left to right is the road from Tennant Creek, the Peko Road; and the other side of it, on the right, can be seen part of the tailings dam. On the left is a new fine ore bin, from the top of which I took several photos of the mine area.
The ore treatment area took place in what was known as The Mill. This was the post-crushing and grinding part of the ore treatment process and it involved numerous conveyors, pumps, pipework, thickening tanks, flotation equipment, cyclones, agitators, scrubbers and so on. It was a great tangle of pipes, tanks, steps, walkways and handrails, etc. And being a continuous process operation it kept going night and day, week after week, on a three-shift system.
The Peko Mine had two principal end products: gold and copper. Pure gold (bullion) left the mine in the form of a brick-sized ingot; copper left the mine in the form of bagged concentrate. The concentrate was partially pure (unsmelted) powder, very heavy and very dirty stuff, that was dried in the sun before being bagged up and transported by road trains down the Stuart Highway to the railhead at Alice Springs, where it was transhipped to railway wagons for the journey south to Port Augusta. From there it was shipped to Japan where it was smelted into pure copper. Due to the unavoidable heavy charges for freight (road, rail and ship) from Tennant Creek, the concentrate was ideally at least 26.5% pure copper.
This rake of pots on rail trucks were moved along a short length of railway track (5 ft. gauge) at Peko; traction was provided by an old Massey Ferguson tractor which shoved them up and down the track. The sides of the pots were dented with repeated nudging with the front bucket mounted on the tractor. The stencilled lettering on the side of each pot said, "FULL TO PORT KEMBLA. EMPTY TO TENNANT CREEK". So, before my time at the Peko Mine, the concentrate had been transported, by truck and train, all the way south while remaining in the pots. What happened to the concentrate at the docks remains unknown to me — perhaps someone else knows.
The power house at the Peko Mine contained several large diesel engines that drove generators to provide not only all the 33 kv electricity that the mines needed (including the Juno, Ivanhoe and Orlando mines) but a 11 kv supply for the township of Tennant Creek as well. I cannot remember now what make the engines were, except that they were built in England. When the Warrego Mine was up and running the new power house there contained five Mirrlees K8 Major diesel engines to drive the generators – which supplied electricity to the mine, the new township, and later on, the copper smelter that had been built seven miles from Warrego.
In 1968 one of my projects was to design a bridge across the main road through the mine workshops and mill area. This bridge had initially to carry a large bore pipe to carry water to the mill across a span of 60 feet and at a height of nearly 20 feet above the ground to allow mobile cranes to pass beneath it – and it had to be built quickly and if possible with materials already on site, because to order anything heavy meant it had to be transported up from South Australia, and that could take weeks to arrive (by train to the Alice Springs rail-head, then by truck to Tennant Creek). However, suitable lengths of steel channel and large bore pipe were readily available in the store compound; the suspension cable was an off-cut of 1-1/8 inch diameter redundant winding rope from the Peko main shaft (the winding ropes were changed every 18 months).

National Unity Day
National Unity Day Celebration – Special Assembly
Students and staff at Daly College celebrated the 144th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on the 31st of October 2019.
The morning assembly witnessed a series of events planned to celebrate 'National Unity Day' to commemorate the birth anniversary of India's Iron Man.
The assembly began with a brief biographical snapshot delivered by Head Girl Gaurika Anand underscoring the multitude of feats accomplished by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel – India's first deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister, responsible for the integration of 562 princely states into one nation.
This was followed by a presentation on India's Unity in Diversity delivered by Rudra Saigal and Sara Qureshi. The presentation talked about the richness and diversity of India's cultures, religions, languages, geography, cuisines, and ways in which we as Indians embrace our country's diversity. It also reminded the audience of the significance of diversity, and the fact that despite these differences, and rampant polarization and extremism in our current political scenario, we can remain united despite our vast diversity.
Thereafter, Head Boy Khush Bhachawat administered the 'Unity Pledge' with the Dalian students and faculty members, who vowed to preserve and strengthen the country's unity, integrity and security.
Lastly, the Principal – Mr. Neeraj Kumar Bedhotiya, addressed the Dalian community, sharing his views on the relevance of embracing diversity, especially in this era of 'us versus them' rhetoric. He reminded the students of the values that this nation was built on and the values shared by the legendary Sardar Patel, and how these values must be imbibed by the future generation. With this the celebrations ended, but not the spirit that was ignited within every Dalian to stand unified as true ambassadors of 'Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat'.

The end of the CAPTCHA is nigh — and very few tears will be shed for them. As Google today announced, those ubiquitous forms that make you prove you are human by typing in barely legible words and house numbers will soon be replaced with a single click — at least on sites that use Google's reCAPTCHA service.
For the time being, websites have the option to stick with the old experience or move over to the new API. For users, that switch probably can't come fast enough, so chances are most sites that are under active development will switch over pretty soon.
So why is Google making this switch? It turns out that the old-style CAPTCHAs weren't all that good at keeping robots out anyway. With today's technology, bots could solve CAPTCHAs with 99.8 percent accuracy.
That makes them pretty much useless — except for one thing: reCAPTCHA was born of the idea that CAPTCHAs could be used to a) prove that somebody was human and b) help scan books. That's because the old reCAPTCHA presented users with two words: one known one and one that OCR software had issues with. For the most part, it didn't matter what you typed in for the second word, but once enough users typed in the same word, chances are that this was indeed the correct word. Over the last few years, Google also started using reCAPTCHA to transcribe house numbers from Street View.
Given that this new version hasn't launched yet, it isn't quite clear what impact it'll have, but chances are far fewer users will see these prompts and hence Google will transcribe fewer words and numbers. The classic reCAPTCHA prompt will now only appear when Google's algorithms aren't quite sure that you are indeed human.
What this new API allows, however, is a far more flexible CAPTCHA experience. As Google announced today, for example, mobile users may soon see an image classification puzzle where they are asked to click on an image similar to the supplied one. This will help Google with its computer vision projects — something the company is probably far more interested in these days than basic OCR.
The new reCAPTCHA is already live on a couple of sites, including Snapchat, WordPress and Humble Bundle.

Ahead of our upcoming Portuguese wine tasting, with Niepoort wine maker Nick Delafore, we thought we'd take you on a little history of Port, one of wine's most interesting stories, steeped in conflict and gout.
Port's origins are of course deeply rooted in Portugal,though English intervention is undeniable in Port's development. To cut a long story short, the English fell out of love with French wine during the 17th Century because, well, we were at war with France. In order to satiate our love of wine, we had to find a new source, and Porto was just a short hop down the coast from Bordeaux, which was our usual haunt for sourcing booze. Just in case these new Portuguese beauties spoiled on the journey, we started adding brandy to the wine, and quickly discovered that if we did it at the right point in the fermentation, it stopped any more sugar being consumed and left us with a delicious, sweet wine that would survive the high seas. Thus, Port was born.
Today, Port is usually made from 3 main Portuguese varieties: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz (otherwise known as Tempranillo). White Port, made in the same way but with white grape varieties, is also excellent and highly underrated as an aperitif, with cheese or with tonic. Port now comes in a baffling array of labels, so here's a little run down of the differences.
Ruby ports are approachable, fruity styles that have usually undergone shorter maturation periods, making them the cheapest to buy, but are not to be sniffed at. They are usually a deep red and pair well with desserts, milk chocolate or cheese.
Tawnies differ from Rubies in that they undergo longer oak ageing, often in traditional pipes. This tends to give them characteristics of nuts, figs, caramel, and sometimes earthier qualities. Tawny Ports can be given age statements, usually of 10, 20 or 30 years, which indicate a style or average age, rather than an actual age. These will tend to pair well with cheeses, nut-based desserts, dark chocolate and dried fruits.
Crusted ports are unfiltered which allows them to develop in bottle, making them a more affordable alternative to a vintage, but will need decanting.
Vintage Ports are made from the grapes of one harvest, usually only in the best years. They tend to spend 2 years in oak before going into bottle without filtration, so as to develop further in the bottle, often up to 20 years (though they can often go much further). This usually makes them the most expensive, but with the most potential for ageing.
LBVs differ from Vintage Ports in that they will spend a few years ageing in barrels, before then being bottled and released, rather than doing most of its ageing in the bottle.
Founded in 1842, the small Port house of Niepoort is now run by 5th generation brother and sister Dirk and Verena Niepoort. Its easy to forget that it was only a few years ago that Niepoort was only sought out by a small band of faithful followers, as stock of remarkable, artisan wines built up in the cramped old Niepoort lodge in Rua Serpa Pinto in Vila Nova de Gaia. These days, with a formidable international reputation which spans all styles from aged tawny to vintage, and all points in between, demand threatens to outstrip supply. Ports are all made at the old Museu de Lagares in Vale de Mendiz, which has the only circular granite Lagares in the Douro. Wine Niepoort is an independent family business founded in 1842 when Franciscus Marius van der Niepoort came over to the Douro from Holland to become a Port merchant. Through five generations, the business passed successfully from one Niepoort to the next with generations working side by side.
Niepoort's mission has always been to be a "niche player", to produce distinctive Ports and Douro wines, combining centuries-old tradition with innovation. This continues today with new vineyard projects to produce dry, natural wines in the Douro - Bairrada - Dão triangle. The importance attached to understanding soils, climates and grape varieties has led the current head of the business Dirk Niepoort down the path of Biodynamics, a practise that respects the "moods" of Nature, to find a balance between biodiversity and minimum intervention. After 150 years of doing things just a little differently, Niepoort are now highly respected for their delicious Ports and an increasing array of natural table wines. Browse their range here.
If you want to find out more about Portuguese wine, why not join us for our tasting on the 16th November at 7pm with winemaker Nick Delafore. Tickets are £25 a head, and includes a fantastic selection of wines and ports, as well as cheeses from the Courtyard Dairy. Give us a call or email us to book.

ScotRail chief agrees to meet Moray passengers head-on
Richard Lochhead MSP and Abellio ScotRail's Phil Verster
MORAY RAIL USERS are being offered the chance to quiz the managing director of Abellio ScotRail over issues they have faced on the main Inverness to Aberdeen line.
The move comes after a number of regular commuters contacted Moray's MSP, Richard Lochhead, over several issues including the regular cancellation of key services from Keith, Elgin and Forres stations.
Mr Lochhead met with ScotRail's boss Phil Verster last week to discuss passenger concerns – including the 'online only' method of registering for the new Club 50 travel offer. Other issues discussed were poor Wi-Fi connections, in particular since Abellio took over the franchise earlier this year, and a shortage of seats on several busy services.
During the meeting the MSP invited Mr Verster to come to Moray for a public meeting and allow users the opportunity to pose their own questions and concerns directly – an invitation that was accepted by the rail chief.
Mr Lochhead said: "I was pleased to have the opportunity to meet with Phil Verster last week to make him aware of some of the concerns my constituents have about local rail services, including the frustration of commuters who rely on the 0724 service from Elgin to Inverness.
"During the meeting, I invited him to visit Moray for a public meeting which would allow him to hear first-hand the experiences of local rail users and to give them the chance to have their questions answered by him directly.
"I'm delighted he accepted this invitation and that he is keen to hear from passengers in Moray and I hope he will use their feedback when reviewing services and looking at how they can improve rail travel on the Aberdeen to Inverness line."
A date for the meeting is yet to be finalised.

Making your own rock candy is a fun and tasty way to grow crystals and see the structure of sugar on a big scale.
1,Pour the sugar and water into the pan.
2,Heat the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. You want the sugar solution to hit boiling, but not get hotter or cook too long. If you overheat the sugar solution you'll make hard candy, which is nice, but not what we're going for here.
3,Stir the solution until all the sugar has dissolved. The liquid will be clear or straw-colored, without any sparkly sugar. If you can get even more sugar to dissolve, that's good, too.
4,If desired, you can add food coloring and flavoring to the solution. Mint, cinnamon, or lemon extract are good flavorings to try. Squeezing the juice from a lemon, orange, or lime is a way to give the crystals natural flavor, but the acid and other sugars in the juice may slow your crystal formation.
5,Set the pot of sugar syrup in the refrigerator to cool. You want the liquid to be about 50°F (slightly cooler than room temperature). Sugar becomes less soluble as it cools, so chilling the mixture will make it so there is less chance of accidentally dissolving sugar you are about to coat on your string.
6.While the sugar solution is cooling, prepare your string. You are using cotton string because it is rough and non-toxic. Tie the string to a pencil, knife, or other object that can rest across the top of the jar. You want the string to hang into the jar, but not touch the sides or bottom.
7,You don't want to weight your string with anything toxic, so rather than use a metal object, you can tie a Lifesaver to the bottom of the string.
8,Whether you are using the Lifesaver or not, you want to 'seed' the string with crystals so that the rock candy will form on the string rather than on the sides and bottom of the jar. There are two easy ways to do this. One is to dampen the string with a little of the syrup you just made and dip the string in sugar. Another option is to soak the string in the syrup and then hang it to dry, which will cause crystals to form naturally (this method produces 'chunkier' rock candy crystals).
9,Once your solution has cooled, pour it into the clean jar. Suspend the seeded string in the liquid. Set the jar somewhere quiet. You can cover the jar with a paper towel or coffee filter to keep the solution clean.
10,Check on your crystals, but don't disturb them. You can remove them to dry and eat when you are satisfied with the size of your rock candy. Ideally you want to allow the crystals to grow for 3-7 days.
11,You can help your crystals grow by removing (and eating) any sugar 'crust' that forms on top of the liquid. If you notice a lot of crystals forming on the sides and bottom of the container and not on your string, remove your string and set it aside. Pour the crystallized solution into a saucepan and boil/cool it (just like when you make the solution). Add it to a clean jar and suspend your growing rock candy crystals.
Well, let me add some science to the topic dude, the crystals on your string should be clearly defined, with sharp right angles and smooth faces of various sizes. In the field of crystallography, these are called monoclinic crystals. Their shape is determined by the way the individual sugar molecules fit together, which is similar to the way the shape of a pile of oranges is determined by the shape of the individual oranges and the way they stack together.
This is so cool! Thanks for the recipe!
Rock candy is one of those old time candies that my grandfather talked about all the time from his childhood. I used to make it all the time with him when I was a kid. It was so fun watching the crystals form. Not only do you get a tasty treat, but it's a little science experiment too!
hey i need your help......Can i put the rock candy mixture into the oven to speed it up?
a warm place would speed up the evaporation - but "movement" will stunt the crystal growth. it should not be "disturbed" while growing.

We believe God's central mission to The Church is to care for the poor and vulnerable as stated in Isaiah 58. In order to fulfill God's vision, people of faith must face the injustices in our society that create poverty and marginalizes many. We also believe that we cannot and should not do it alone. In partnering with best-practice organizations, The Church can find a seat at the table for a discussion that has the power to change our world, fulfilling a mandate so deeply rooted in our faith.
"If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings."
Isaiah 58: 10-12
In 1993, while filming the story of Jackie, a little girl in a Compassion International child sponsorship project in Uganda, Tony Neeves witnessed the transformative influence of Gaba Community Church.
At the time, Gaba was a very poor community and a dangerous place to live. HIV/AIDS spread quickly, and violence, alcohol and drug abuse were widespread. Members of the church often faced considerable opposition.
Concerned with the poverty in Gaba, this small church family began a program dedicated to help the most vulnerable in the community. Parents and family members, including some of the ringleaders in the persecution began to come into the church compound to see what motivated them to help their children. Peter, the Pastor at Gaba Community Church explained how the community's opposition began disappearing as local people saw that the church was just as concerned about their physical health as well as as their spiritual life.
In just a few years, the church grew from a handful meeting in a small tent, to over 1,000 meeting in a multi-purpose building, housing a church, school, vocational center and much more.
Fast forward several years later, Gaba's story resonated with Tony as he continued to travel and witness powerful transformations by churches committed to the mission of service and caring for the most vulnerable in their communities. These experiences led to the founding of Live58 inspired by Tony's favorite passage in the Bible, Isaiah 58.
In 2011, With the support of Compassion International, Tony and his team began by producing a major feature film and church curriculum on the theme of Isaiah 58, with stories filmed in eight countries. To date, it has been translated into French, Spanish, Dutch, German, Korean and Swahili. Many churches reported how they became excited by the message of the film and the dramatic impact this fresh awakening has had on their church.
Where are we now
After many years of impact, Live58 encountered several challenges. With both changes in leadership and difficulty in translating missional commitment to fiscal sustainability, Live58 risked closing its doors.
In 2016, Ken Burkey, former Senior Pastor of 25 years at Green Valley Community Church in California, became the Executive Director of Live58 and has since worked to build a new foundation, which expands on the successes of the previous leadership and their work with congregations and organizations around the globe.
Without the years of dynamic leadership, Live58 would not have reached:
More than 500 churches who have received Isaiah 58 focused curriculum
Over 5,000 views of 58: The Film
Over 1,000 blog posts about the power of Isaiah 58 published on multiple platforms
over 100,000 people served by Live58 partners
Where are we going
We hope to see a renewed passion in churches, people of faith, leadership and those with a heart of compassion toward the vulnerable. We are committed to sharing the mission and vision of Live58 and believe in the mandates of the passage, which will lead to a rebuilding of broken communities.
We will educate about the root causes of poverty, injustice and marginalization through relevant workshops and events that will provide tools to mobilize people from all walks of life. We will empower those who have committed themselves to the mission of Isaiah 58 by celebrating the transformative stories that happen when we care for one another. We will engage in and out of the church walls, by partnering the 58 community with best-practice organizations and the work they do to create lasting sustainable change.

Thank you for Guiding about publishing a book on Lulu. Will upload ebooks about web design and development tutorials.


Katie's class is a chance to connect to yourself and others in expression and play. The first half of class will be a sweaty, continuous guided improvisation, awakening our energy, creativity and skill. We will practice tuning-in to ourselves as individuals to discover the essence of how we love to move, whilst also developing our awareness of and sensitivity to the others in the space, so we can explore dancing together as a group. These ideas will continue through the second half of class as we play with how we can approach set material both as an individual and as a group.

George Stibitz
George Stibitz with his model K
George Stibitz (April 20, 1904 - January 31, 1995) was a Bell Labs researcher mostly known for his 1930s and 1940s work on the realization of Boolean logic digital circuits using electromechanical relays as the switching element.
Born in York, Pennsylvania, he received his bachelor\'s degree from Denison University in Granville, Ohio, his master\'s degree from Union College in 1927, and his Ph.D. in mathematical physics in 1930 from Cornell University.
In 1937, Claude Shannon produced his master\'s thesis at MIT that implemented Boolean algebra using electronic relays and switches for the first time in history. Entitled A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits, Shannon\'s thesis essentially founded practical digital circuit design.
In November of 1937, George Stibitz, then working at Bell Labs, completed a relay-based computer he dubbed the \"Model K\" (for \"kitchen\", where he had assembled it), which calculated using binary addition. Bell Labs thus authorized a full research program in late 1938 with Stibitz at the helm. Their Complex Number Calculator, completed January 8, 1940, was able to calculate complex numbers. In a demonstration to the American Mathematical Society conference at Dartmouth College on September 11, 1940, Stibitz was able to send the Complex Number Calculator remote commands over telephone lines by a teletype. It was the first computing machine ever used remotely over a phone line.
Stibitz held 38 patents, in addition to those he earned at Bell Labs. He became a member of the faculty at Dartmouth College in 1964 to build bridges between the fields of computing and medicine, and retired from research in 1983.
Both the Smithsonian Institution and the American Computer Museum exhibit (or have exhibited) a replica of the \"Model K\" in honor of his work.

Looking for Drug Rehab and treatment centers in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky?
There are many alcohol and drug rehab programs options available to individuals living in the Lawrenceburg area. You should understand all the varieties of rehab choices available in Lawrenceburg, AB., so that you can choose the appropriate rehabilitation approach for yourself or a family member. Choosing the right drug rehab center in Lawrenceburg is the central factor in the process of treating of drug abuse, drug addiction and alcoholism. This data will help you to recognize your various rehabilitation possibilities allowing you to have the highest possibility of an ideal outcome.
Let's take a look at the various drug rehabilitation centers in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky options that coincide with the condition of the individual seeking rehab.
Inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Lawrenceburg, AB. is a treatment option ideal in case you need health-related treatment for the duration of rehabilitation or individuals with substantial drug use histories. Women and men will experience physical and mental dependence to alcohol and drugs even after a short time period, so inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Lawrenceburg is regarded as the best treatment option in almost all cases. On account of substance abuse and addiction, women and men will usually struggle to make a full recovery with the limited services made available from outpatient rehab facilities in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky where drugs and alcohol continue to be easily available when they depart the outpatient program. Likewise, people in rehab who receive outpatient rehabilitation rather than inpatient alcohol and drug treatment in Lawrenceburg are still prone to detrimental relationships and situations which might compromise their process of recovery. If someone resides with an abusive companion or maintains associations which entail drug use, any rehabilitation endeavours in outpatient rehab will be in vain. That is why in-patient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Lawrenceburg, AB. will most certainly produce more beneficial outcomes that can prove long lasting as opposed to an outpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility where advantages are often very limited and short-lived.
In Lawrenceburg there is both short-term and long-term inpatient alcohol and drug rehab. Short-term is often a 30-day center, while long-term inpatient drug rehab in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky is significantly more intensive and rehabilitation lasts 3 to 6 months on average. It is deemed an ideal setting for clients as it is a completely drug-free setting where they are able to heal both mentally and physically without distraction. Ideally, people will continue in a long-term in-patient alcohol and drug rehabilitation program in Lawrenceburg for the optimum time period allowed, in order to deal with anything which may jeopardize their abstinence when they leave rehab. Due to the fact detoxing and becoming physically stable can require 2-3 weeks by itself, the three to six months in long-term in-patient drug and alcohol rehab in Lawrenceburg is going to be time well spent and significantly more efficient than short-term programs.
The key aspect of all if you or someone you love has a drug abuse or addiction concern is to get it resolved right away, make calls and talk to trained addiction specialists and get an evaluation and rehab options to guarantee the biggest chance for a full recovery.

For the last 3 weeks our house has been filled to the brim in laughter, diapers (dirty and clean) and enough toddler fits to wear 2 moms down (never mind the dads).
Our daughter and son in law and 5 kids are relocating to our area. In the midst of the transition, they've been staying with us. It makes this BIG house breathe again! It feels good to hear the kids that are supposed to be resting, giggling instead, as the sound echos in the halls. I love getting morning hugs and goodnight kisses. It makes me remember all the lovely things that being a mom are about... and it reminds me of why God gives children to us in our young(er) age, as I'm ready for bed every night! It's exhausting!!
We have a dining room, but we feed the kids in the eat-in kitchen. 4 around the table and 1 in a high chair. The grown ups sit at the counter, or eat standing up. We CROWD in to make it work. We don't have to deal with spills on the wood floor or washing placemats, and the kids like us all there close together.
Their beds are CROWDed in together in one room. The crib and the parents sleep in a separate room, but the 4 older kids - 2, 3 1/2, almost 5 and 6 1/2 are all sleeping in one space. It works. The humidifier hums all night long and they share their sleeping songs, their bedtime prayers, their morning dreams.
Come Sunday afternoon, they'll be moving out, into their new home. I'll keep the littlest ones one last night, enjoy every snuggle I can get, and make them eggs or pancakes or cereal (or all 3) for breakfast on Monday morning. Then I'll drive them home, and walk in to a completely disastrous and filthy house that will be totally quiet. Again. And I'll probably cry. Again.
I know, I know... they're just moving 30 minutes away! They could have been 9 hours away, or 18 hours away, or a plane, train and automobile trip away. This isn't so bad!! But it's going to stretch my heart again as they move along. It's always good and exhausting when they're here, and always fine once they're "there" (wherever that happens to be), but oh, the transitions... they twist my heart up and wring out the tears like a wet dishrag.
I'm so blessed to have had a season of them staying with me... and it's good to remember how much a little child can impact me, make me a morning person again, make me eat oatmeal again, and get me down on the floor to play with Legos again. I'll cherish tomorrow's CROWD as we dance around to praise songs (thank you Yancy!) and watch Jungle Book and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Sound of Music again. I'll treasure each hug, storing them up for the empty days when the house is still and silent. I'll push them on the swings and run around outside with them as they race around the yard, at least until they are exhausted and grumpy and ready to take that nap (because I will need it!).
They will CROWD my heart ... forever.
