Yesterday the map was unexpectedly reset, in this post I'll be explaining why the reset happened and hopefully answer some questions you may have about it.
As some of you may know, the last reset was only 10 months ago. Normally we only reset when the current map has been all used up, and has very little left to find. The original plan was to expand the border to 40,000 x 40,000 blocks for the new update, but about 3 hours after 1.13 was released, we held a quick public vote to see who wanted a reset, which ended with the final tally of 20 to 7, in favor of a map reset. It was also discussed in staff chat and agreed upon by all of the admins and owners.
Resetting yesterday was a great opportunity for the server, after a new update (Especially one as big as 1.13), there are a lot of players looking for 1.13 servers, and starting on equal grounds with everybody else encourages them to stay longer. Yesterday the server hit 33 players, which is the most it's had on at once in a very long time!
Why does the server currently have no plugins?
Spigot 1.13 has not been released yet, so everything on the server is vanilla right now. All of the rules still stand, but keep in mind that PvP is allowed, and without plugins you won't be able to disable it. If you'd like to avoid PvP I would recommend walking to isolated land for a good 15 minutes, and setting your spawn there with a bed.
You can expect to see your ranks and commands returning in the following week (Possibly as soon as later today), however there may be glitches and some plugins may have broken so their commands will be unusable.
Will build transfers be available this map?
it's not guaranteed that we will be able to do that. In the event that it isn't possible, build transfers will still be available in a similar manor to how we did it last map, requesting it via the forums. If you know a warp, a home or the cords to a build, it will be possible to transfer it, even if you don't have access to the old world.
The rules on which builds can be transferred will be similar to the last reset.
Builds made mostly out of valuable blocks in an attempt to get an advantage on the new world won't be transferred, as well as builds that are very small and could easily be rebuilt in an hour. Any build that is transferred will have all of the items in containers inside of it removed, the point of a reset is to start over again after all.
That about covers everything, I know that is was very unexpected, but this is what will be best for the server! Please bear with us as we get everything on the new map in order, and feel free to help with the new spawn by expanding the paths and making a build! If you have anymore questions feel free to ask them below and I'll do my best to answer.
Good luck, and enjoy The Mushroom Co. Servers new world!
Since most people voted for updating now into vanilla, we were initially going to go with option #1 as had been done with the 1.4 and 1.7 updates. However for both of those previous times, the map had been quite new. This time, the map was considerably older, which meant that it made sense to get a new map and prevent all the griefing that would befall the old map had it been loaded unprotected into vanilla.
+1 for 1.13! And +1 for allowing dual access, since I have a piece of mapart that will have to be delayed months if I cant finish it in the old world. Onward MushCo!
If there are no pluggins, does this mean all factions have reset?
The Server Seems To Be Currently Down? I Tried To Connect.
Bukkit has come out so the server now has plugins. Unfortunately the old world isn't able to be loaded into 1.13 however since map conversion from 1.12 to 1.13 are unstable and could lead to data loss, so I'm not going to risk it. In the mean time, the old map is available on our second server mc2.webbcraft.co.uk which is in version 1.12.2 . This will be for a limited time to facilitate build transfers.
How Long? I Need a build transfer... but I won't be able to connect for a week.

What I was saying
Greenwich Democrats assist Harbor Master in removing offending moorings (Stephanie Paulmeno, rear)
Google "Republican date rape comments" and you'll find lots of results, all devoted to excoriating the person who made them, but this one from "Ranker" serves as a pretty typical example:
The 9 Most Horribly Insensitive Republican Rape Comments
Yup, insensitive Republicans who distinguish between "rape-rape" and "date-rape" are in there but not, surprisingly, Greenwich Democrat First Selectman candidate Stephanie Paulmeno's own contribution. *
Quell surprise.
*Greenwich Time, May 10, 2010: "I do believe no is no," Paulmeno said. "(But) someone who has committed a rape is far different from someone who has committed a date rape. Someone who's taking a picture is far different from someone who has molested a child."
Tagged as Stephanie Paulmeno: Pervert photographers are not child molesters, Stephanie Paulmeno: there's rape and then there's date rape
And the Emperor issues yet another edict
It's cool to be King
Orders ICE agents and federal prosecutors to ignore federal law and stop detaining and deporting illegal alien parents
The Obama administration issued a new policy Friday that says immigration agents should try not to arrest and deport illegal immigrant parents of minor children. The move adds to the categories of people the administration is trying not to deport.
This is all part of a concerted campaign, directed from Washington and being conducted across the country. Last week, Legal Insurrection reported on the seemingly coincidental appearance at Congressional Town Hall meetings held throughout our country this summer, where a youngster would approach the microphone and ask her congressman, "why do you want to deport my Daddy?" What seemed at first to be an honest question asked by a worried youngster, Professor Jacobson reports, was actually a political ploy, repeated at dozens of such events, all videoed by Democrat operatives.
So Obama is responding to "pressure" that he himself deliberately created. And he is ordering his minions to violate the law of the land. Obama, you may remember, twice swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution and the laws of the United States. He broke that oath as the words left his lips.
I think that's the liberals' intention, although I'm not sure why
NYC Crime Patrol
NYPD union advises its members to take no initiative on the street.
Nypd beat cops posted a police-union warning in every precinct yesterday instructing officers not to go above and beyond the call of duty — or risk losing their jobs because of the new stop-and-frisk laws, The Post has learned.
"All officers should take action if he or she sees a crime in progress, or if he or she sees that his or her life or the life of another person is in danger . . . [But] all officers should be careful not to initiate any law-enforcement action that could be construed as violating the new legislation and subject the officer to legal action," read the memo by Patrolmen's Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch.
Several rank-and-file cops said yesterday that they plan on following Lynch's advice rather than risk their careers.
"We are being told not to look for perpetrators of crimes because then we are opening ourselves up to a lawsuit and the job isn't going to represent us," a police source said.
"Crime is about to skyrocket. We are going to show up and take reports. This was the safest city in the country . . . Now most crimes will go unsolved."
Another source added: "These rookies are just getting on the job out of college. They're not going to risk their pensions. Arrests are going to drop, and crime's going to soar.
Even the bad guys have gotten the memo.
"Perps on the street are saying, 'If they're not going to stop me, I'm going to start carrying [my gun] again.' That's the word on the street," said one police source.
"The number of stops is going to go way down, and crime is going to go way up. Shootings and murders are going to come back big time," the source said.
The sources said most cops want to pursue criminals and make stops, "but now they think if they do, they're going to get sued and the department won't have their backs. So now they're not going to do squat. The situation is just too volatile."
Real estate news that snuck in late yesterday afternoon
Two more sales and a contract.
33 Boulder Brook
33 Boulder Brook Road, asked $5.495 million, got $5.050. Market's coming back for newish construction in mid country. When built in 2008, this was priced at $6.875 and languished on the market until November, 2011 when its price had dropped to $5.495 and sold for $4.882. This time it started at $5.495 and quickly found a buyer.
169 Stanwich Rd
169 Stanwich was priced at $1.750 million this spring and it too found a buyer in a short time, closing yesterday for $1.675. This is a nifty property, set way off Stanwich on a private road that's shared by something like 10 other homes. Good land, very private, but it has a kitchen that looks like an afterthought, and not much elsethat makes sense either, to anyone used to the normal houses of, say, post- 1952. But whether someone likes quirky or is looking to build, this one appears to have sold for land value alone, so the buyer will have some great flexibility in deciding what to do with it.
3 Dingletown (gloomy sky courtesy of PhotoShoppe)
And speaking of land value, 3 Dingletown Road, $2.295 million, reports a contract. The asking price – we don't know the accepted price, yet – seems a tad high for just a two-acre lot here, but it would appear to me that the house itself adds no value, so we'll see.

With his poll ratings at an all-time low and the new puppy ploy having already lost momentum despite bestowing a Muslim name, "Sunni", on the pooch, the Leader of the Free world tries another gambit: Warships to Syria.

Another black-on-white killing. No comment from our leader, but Jesse Jackson weighs in on the Oklahoma killing of Chris Lane
Jesse and the Rev. Al frowning on racial violence
88-year-old Willy Belton beaten to death with flashlights wielded by two black teens but President Obama refused comment because, he said, "if I had a grandfather he sure as hell wouldn't look like Willy, so what's it to me?"
The Reverend Jackson, however, in an eloquent and no-nonsense statement, did address the Oklahoma killing yesterday, Tweeting his follower, "The killing of Chris Lane is frowned upon" – just about exactly the same deep remorse and anger he expressed after Trayvon Martin's death.
So that's a relief.
Anti-gun rally: 15 anti's, 365 reporters
Mayors Against Illegal Guns Protest August 22, 2013
Fifteen people showed up to support the Mike Bloomberg gun ban initiative yesterday, accompanied by the usual entourage of national press. Greenwich Democrat candidate for First Selectman and gun-confiscator activist Stephanie, "There's rape-rape, then there's date rape" Paulmeno did not attend. Reached for comment aboard Harbor Master Ian Macmillan 's boat, where she was helping yank moorings that offended the Harbor Master's eyes, Paulmeno told FWIW, "the day's rally was promoted as "No More Names", so I took them at their word and didn't show up to add my own. Do you think I misunderstood?"
UPDATE: I found the forgiving comments of Ms. Paulmeno towards date rape curious, given her fierce support of abortion rights based, she says, on an absolute "right of privacy"
If the personal sanctity of your body and the right to make decisions about it is not reason enough, then I don't know what is. When the audacity of some allows them to feel righteous enough to legally dictate not only what you do with your body but also lets them feel they can play with your mind, this raises the stakes very high for me. I think it should for any woman, and for any man who has a daughter, a wife, a sister or a mother.
What if it's your date/rapist "playing with your mind"? That's okay?
And there's this:
I shudder in horror, and you should, too, that around twenty states now require women considering abortion to submit to a vaginal ultrasound, view the fetus and listen to the heart beat, an unabashed physical and emotional assault, in an effort to dissuade women from choosing an abortion. About ten more states are in discussion about moving forward in this direction. Aside from the unmitigated arrogance, this adds unnecessary cost, is an unwanted/unnecessary procedure, infringes on privacy rights and constitutes state-sanctioned rape and exploitation of women.
The medical dictionary (medicinenet.com) defines rape as, amongst other things, the insertion of an [unwanted] inanimate object into the female vagina. An 8-10 inch vaginal probe, which mandates you to expose your most intimate and private parts, which is unwanted by the woman and her doctor, which serves no medical purpose, and which you are mandated to have against your will, constitutes rape and exploitation in my book.
Who could argue with that? Who, that is, except Stephanie Paulmeno, who seemingly distinguishes between the insertion of an unwanted inanimate object in a woman's vagina and an unwanted animate object, like your date rapist's penis: not our soundest of thinkers, poor Stephanie, but as a reader points out, the perfect bookend for the Greenwich Democrat's other nominee, cult follower Samarpana Tamm. These two are really the best they can do? How revealing.

Its been quite some time since my last blog.
My laptop died on me, and I don't have much opportunity to get on the desktop these days.
I realize, of course, that this is going to taunt some of you to no end, because I am not going to go into my usual explicit detail of WHY things are so amazing.
I'm getting healthy, and more importantly, I'm happy. Really, honest to goodness truly happy…there could be one reason causing my happiness or a million. One huge life changing event, or ten million small every day occurrances that I've learned to appreciate for what they are and what they do.
My emotional quest for balance continues…I still find it hard to control some of my harder emotions from time to time, but…I have a better handle on things, and I've eliminated many people from my life that cause undo stress…I'm focusing on spending more time with the people who can build me up and help me.
I could go into grand explicit detail about my happiness. And perhaps one day I will. But for now…all that matters to me is that this place in my heart that usually feels so wild and crazy and uncertain feels whole. I've learned so much in the last month about true friendship, trust…everything really….
I have plans, dreams, goals…and a way to achieve them.

Real VS Fake: Did These ZAlebs Get A Boob Job?
Beauty comes at a price and nobody understands that more than Mzansi's biggest stars.
A-list celebrities are willing to fork out thousands of Rands to look their best, with some willing to go under the knife to achieve their desired look.
In 2017, Khanyi Mbau spent a whopping R95 000 on cosmetic surgery.
The actress had work done on her breasts, among other things.
But is Khanyi the one celebrity with surgically enhanced boobs?
We are taking a look at which stars admitted to having a boob job done, who has been falsely accused and who allegedly got them done on the DL.
Ayanda Thabethe: 100% real
Ayanda Thebathe set the record straight recently about whether her boobs were real or fake while clapping back at a tweep recently. The Twitter user claimed Ayanda's breasts were courtesy of silicone.

Ayanda replied that she was 100% real. "100 percent natural… please do get your facts straight next time before you speak with such conviction," she wrote.
Zodwa Wabantu: Fake
South Africa's favourite dancer and socialite Zodwa Wabantu is not afraid to admit all the upgrades she had done on her body. The 33-year-old told the Sunday Sun at the Durban July last month that getting her breasts done was the "most wonderful decision" she ever made. "My boobs were starting to fall. I had to do something about it and did a boob job," she told the publication.

Lerato Kganyago: Real
Lerato is willing to put her money where her mouth is as far as her boobs are concerned. The radio personality never shies away from keeping it real on Twitter about all aspects of her life. She defended her beautiful bosom in May after Twitter users questioned whether she got work done. "I'm giving them an opportunity to come touch and feel them, I will give them 50K CASH immediately if they fake and if they real they must both deactivate their accounts!!! I'm game!
Let's see if they reply," she wrote.
None of her haters were willing to take the risk!
Bonang Matheba: Only God knows
South Africa's media darling Bonang Matheba has been mum about the speculation around her alleged boob job. Social media users have accused the star of enlarging her bust on the down-low for years. While Queen B is yet to confirm or deny the claims, she did tell Previdar in a 2014 interview that she was open to the idea of having plastic surgery.
"I believe that plastic surgery is done to enhance the appearance of an individual and I am extremely happy and content with my looks. At this stage in my life, there is absolutely nothing I want to change about myself. Unless I burn myself or something, maybe I can consider plastic surgery but right now I am set," she told the publication.
Rosette Ncwane: Fake
Model Rosette Ncwane came clean about her plastic surgery in a revealing Instagram post earlier this year. Rosette, who has two daughters named Gabrielle and Talitha, says her breasts changed after she had children.
"I've always had big boobs but after baby Tali they looked like rain drops. I blame Gabrielle, she breastfed for three years. I struggled to do lingerie/swimsuit shoots, so I went under the knife for a lift augmentation," she told her followers.
Bonang's Must-Have Bags!
Zodwa Wabantu Is Back On The Market!
Leave Kelly Khumalo Alone!!

Chinanews.com, Hohhot, January 13th, title: Zhao Haiping, member of the CPPCC Inner Mongolia: expand the severe disease team to protect the health of the elderly and build a medical rescue team
Chinanews reporter Zhang Wei
The situation of the new crown epidemic is slowing down, but Zhao Haiping has tightened the string in his heart even more. "The prevention and control of the new crown epidemic and the treatment of new crown virus infection in the past three years have made me more aware of the urgent need to improve the medical service system."
Recently, at the "Two Sessions" of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Zhao Haiping, member of the Inner Mongolia CPPCC, deputy secretary of the party committee and president of the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University, put forward three suggestions, all related to improving the safety of patients' lives.

Expansion of critical care medicine "firewall"
With the continuous optimization of the new crown epidemic prevention and control measures and the publication of the "Tenth Edition of the New Crown Virus Infection Diagnosis and Treatment Plan", in the past three years, China's war against the "epidemic" has stood out from the encirclement. But for Inner Mongolia, which has a remote location and relatively scarce medical resources, the big test is still going on.
Zhao Haiping said that the medical system is at the front line of early identification of public health emergencies, and becomes the main battlefield for patient treatment in the subsequent response to public health emergencies.
"The discipline of critical care medicine in my country has developed rapidly in the past 10 years, and the number of hospitals setting up the discipline of critical care medicine has continued to increase, which has improved the success rate of critically ill patients and reduced the mortality rate." Zhao Haiping told reporters from Chinanews.com. Compared with developed regions and cities, there is still a big gap in the proportion of ICU (Intensive Care Unit) in the above hospitals.
"Currently, our critical care medicine department has less than 2% of beds, and it needs to reach 3%-5% according to the requirements, and there is a relative shortage of critical care medical professionals." Zhao Haiping said, "So, I suggest referring to the bed-doctor ratio of the intensive care medicine department, Bed-to-nurse ratio, personnel qualifications, equipment and other standard requirements, pay close attention to the construction of intensive care medicine in Inner Mongolia tertiary general hospitals."
Zhao Haiping said that as far as the current situation is concerned, the number of critically ill patients infected by the new coronavirus has increased in a short period of time, and Inner Mongolia has strengthened the construction of critical care medicine by 4% and the construction of reserve critical care medicine by 4%.
Taking the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University as an example, Zhao Haiping said that recently, the hospital's emergency outpatient department has received about 700 or 800 patients a day, which is 3 to 4 times higher than before.
"In view of the increase in the number of critically ill patients infected by the new coronavirus, the emergency department has increased the number of outpatient experts, and even experts from all departments have made outpatient visits to divert the patients in the emergency department." Zhao Haiping said. "Dynamic clearing" means that all critically ill patients who have been in the emergency department for 24 hours will be admitted to the hospital. "And open and increase the number of ICU beds to more than 700, and provide timely rescue for critically ill patients."
In Zhao Haiping's view, in the future, public three-level comprehensive medical institutions in Inner Mongolia need to further build comprehensive public health emergency response capabilities in terms of medical treatment, teaching, and scientific research.
In terms of the training of critical care physicians, Zhao Haiping said that through the training of sub-specialized physicians and other specialized physicians driven by intensive care physicians, "one specialty and multiple abilities" can be achieved in responding to public health emergencies.

Geriatric medicine "blessing" to maintain health
According to the "Research Report on Implementing the National Strategy of Actively Responding to Population Aging and Promoting the High-quality Development of the Aging Career", the elderly in my country have an average disease-free survival period of more than 8 years, and more than 190 million elderly people suffer from chronic diseases. The proportion of one or more chronic diseases is as high as 75%.
"The health level of the elderly needs to be improved." Zhao Haiping said that there is currently only one geriatric medical center in Inner Mongolia.
Zhao Haiping suggested that the clinical resources of the Department of Geriatrics in Inner Mongolia should be coordinated to build a multidisciplinary system that integrates health care with geriatric clinical medicine, geriatric rehabilitation, geriatric nursing, and geriatric nutrition, and establish a system covering health education, preventive health care, disease diagnosis and treatment, and rehabilitation nursing. Link to the Health Center (Geriatrics Center) of the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University.
Regarding discipline construction, Zhao Haiping's idea is that the department of geriatrics needs to implement the model of co-treatment of multiple diseases, rather than simply "treating the head for a headache and treating the foot for a pain in the foot".
"Through a comprehensive assessment of the admitted patients, multidisciplinary cooperation can maximize the maintenance and improvement of the patient's functional status, thereby improving their ability to live independently and quality of life." Zhao Haiping said that the department of geriatrics emphasizes "the whole person The whole process", that is, the integrity and continuity of diagnosis and treatment.
"At the same time, it is necessary to further strengthen the postgraduate education support for professional degrees such as general medicine, geriatric medicine, and rehabilitation medicine, and promote basic research in geriatrics-related disciplines. Based on the Health Center (Geriatrics Center) of the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University, training Geriatric physicians and nursing professional nurses." Zhao Haiping said.
Medical emergency rescue has become "just needed"
"The Inner Mongolia Medical Emergency Rescue Center should be established to improve the level and ability of emergency medical rescue." In the past three years, Zhao Haiping has been deeply touched from rushing to the front line of epidemic prevention and control to sticking to the front line of treatment.
"Relying on tertiary general hospitals, select medical, nursing, medical technology and logistics support personnel in the fields of internal medicine, surgery, 120 first aid, intensive care, anesthesia, health emergency management, psychological assistance, etc., and form an emergency medical rescue team to participate in special major, A professional medical and health rescue team for on-site emergency medical rescue of major and other emergencies that need to be responded to." Zhao Haiping said.
At the same time, the medical team is uniformly equipped with medical emergency rescue vehicles, as well as medical equipment, inspection and testing, radiation inspection, disinfection and sterilization and other related equipment and supplies required for treatment and surgery as required. "Equipment capabilities can achieve team self-sufficiency, And reach the level of a second-class general hospital."
Now when it comes to the medical treatment and rescue work of the new coronavirus infection in the past three years, Zhao Haiping's most memorable thing is the clear and bright eyes under each pair of masks. This responsibility gives us to always adhere to the original intention of curing diseases and saving lives." (End)

Lever-Action Repeating Rifle

While the lever-action repeating Henry Rifle of 1860 proved revolutionary in its own right, it still held some limitations within its overall design that the now-Winchester firm soon sought to overcome. The resulting product - the Model 1866 - became an excellent and robust performer along the Western Frontier, offering up reliability and ease of use with accuracy and a 15-round magazine hold. The Winchester Model 1866 was THE Winchester rifle that started it all, beginning the long and successful line of lever-action systems that would become synonymous with the Winchester brand name and the Wild West. Some 720,000 Winchester rifles would eventually be produced during the lever-action market boom, earning the brand a special place in history and in the hearts and minds of its everyday users.
As majority investor, clothing businessman Oliver Winchester purchased the bankrupt assets of the Volcanic Repeating Arms - a firm founded in part by gunsmith's Horace Smith and Daniel Wesson to produce their limited-success Volcanic lever-action pistols and rifles. With complete ownership, Winchester moved the production plant to New Haven, Connecticut, and changed the operating name to the New Haven Arms Company. The firm continued production of the Henry Model 1860 repeating rifle for a time - the rifle named after its shop foreman - Benjamin Tyler Henry. Smith & Wesson eventually left NHAC to begin their own revolver manufacturing company. The Henry Rifle saw some action in the latter years of the American Civil War as well as in the Indian Wars, being produced in approximately 14,000 examples and generally thought of as an excellent rifle for its time. Henry gave the Union soldier lucky enough to acquire it (it was not officially accepted into Union Army use) a hefty 15-round ammunition supply before reloading occurred.
The New Haven Arms Company became the Winchester Repeating Arms Company after the Civil War. One of the first orders was in revising and improving the Henry Rifle. Despite its revolutionary approach to repeating fire, the Henry Rifle was not without limitations. A new rifle was envisioned and became the lever-action repeating Winchester Model 1866, developed as an improved form of the Henry Rifle. The Model 1866 introduced a wooden forestock over the magazine tube as well as a revised sealed magazine chamber and a more robust bronze gunmetal frame. The identifiable Winchester-style loading gate was fitted to the side right side of the frame, easing the process of reloading the weapon. In fact, it was this loading gate that favorably distinguished the Model 1866 over the Henry. The new frame, yellow in appearance, granted the Model 1866 the nickname of "Yellow Boy".
The Model 1866 proved an immediate success for Winchester with some 170,000 examples going on to be manufactured. Furthermore, the weapon appeared in three distinct forms for the mass market - the carbine, rifle and musket. The carbine model was a shortened form, giving up some accuracy for the preferred smaller size, increasing its portability and use from horseback. It was offered with a round 20-inch barrel and became known as the "Saddle Ring Carbine". The carbine made up 127,000 production examples of the entire Model 1866 line, proving it the most popular. The base rifle was known as the "Sporting Rifle", fitting a 24.4-inch round or octagonal barrel as desired. Some 28,000 examples of this type were produced. Perhaps the lesser known of the three became the musket Model 1866 - fitting a rounded barrel and sporting the longer length of the three weapon systems.
Externally, the Model 1866 Sporting Rifle was a very similar design to the Henry Rifle preceding her but became the basic standard design to all those Winchester rifles that followed. The brass receiver made up a small part of the overall design but held the most important inner workings. The loading gate was set to the right side, just above and forward of the lever-action. The lever served as both the trigger guard and the cocking handle, featuring a large, oblong and open-finger loop for a precise hold during movement. The lever-action handle was pulled down and forward, this clearing the chamber of any spent shell casings while introducing a fresh round and cocking the hammer, making the rifle ready to fire. The hammer was typical Winchester, protruding out of the upper rear receiver and within easy reach of the trigger hand. The receiver tapered off into a wooden buttstock with a brass plate and forward-curved end, suitable for setting upon a shoulder during aimed fire. The barrel was octagonal or rounded (depending on the model - carbine, rifle or musket), protruding from the forward portion of the receiver and containing the rear graduated sight and the front post sight along its top facing. The tubular magazine was slung under the barrel, giving the Winchester rifle line their distinct appearance. The new forestock covered nearly have of the magazine tube, externally, and served to protect the operator from a hot barrel - a feature the Henry Rifle lacked.
The Winchester Model 1866 was originally chambered to fire the .44 Henry, the rimfire cartridge developed for the aptly-named Henry Rifle. Rimfire cartridges made use of the firing pin striking the cartridge rim as opposed to its center, as in centerfire cartridges. The cartridge would be produced with its own propellant powder and bullet. Once fired, only the empty "spent" cartridge remained. Later .44 Henry cartridges were made with brass as opposed to the early copper. Fifteen cartridges could be stored in the tubular magazine, each fed backwards via a compression spring with each cocking of the lever.
• Model 1866 (Sporting Rifle) - Base rifle model; fitting 24.4-inch barrel; 28,000 examples produced; rounded or octagonal barrel as desired; .44 Henry rimfire cartridge.
• Model 1866 (Carbine) - 20-inch barrel; also known as the Saddle Ring Carbine; 127,000 examples produced; rounded barrel.
• Model 1866 (Musket) - Round Barrel; longest length of the three.


Scattering cremated ashes at sea Accompanied by my children, I scattered my husband's cremated ashes into the sea. My husband loved the sea. He chose to return to its embrace when he left. My husband learnt about the service provided by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department and thought the service suited him. He asked us to scatter his cremated ashes at sea when he passed away. It's like homecoming for him.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - Emergency officials responded to a reported shooting on Scotland Avenue Tuesday night.
The call went out sometime after 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 23. Emergency officials say one male was shot and transported to a local hospital. His condition is currently unknown.
Details are currently limited. We will update this story when we know more.


For years, ride-share companies such as Uber and Lyft have operated in Rhode Island and other states with minimal regulation. This service is a relatively new concept. Therefore states have been struggling to figure out the best way to manage it. Currently, Rhode Island legislators are trying to determine what bill would best serve the state's residents and economy. One bill favors the companies Uber and Lyft while another bill favors traditional taxi companies. Both bills include a yearly fee for Uber and Lyft but differ on other aspects.
One proposed bill is in favor of the ride-share companies. Thousands of drivers throughout Rhode Island use Uber as a way to receive supplementary income. Therefore, many drivers rely on the fact that current legislation imposes few restrictions. The bill would enable Uber and Lyft drivers to be treated as independent contractors instead of actual employees. This minimizes the liability for the company and allows for more freedom for the drivers. Similar legislation has been passed in many other states.
Although the previous bill would be beneficial to Uber drivers, it would be detrimental to taxi drivers. Taxi drivers are treated as employees, and they have to be thoroughly vetted before they can work. They have to go through background checks, vehicle inspections, and insurance verification. This proposed bill would ensure that Uber drivers undergo a similar process. It would help even the playing field between the taxi drivers and the Uber drivers. This would also assist in ensuring the rides are safe for passengers since the drivers would have to undergo background checks. In the event of an accident, it would also be beneficial to know that your Uber driver is adequately insured.


My hexbeam suffered some serious damage from the storms early this year and had to take it down for a complete rebuild. Thanks to the service and fine materials of Ant MW0JZE the antenna is back on the tower as of today. I haven't done any HF since the end of January besides operating the clubstation PI4ZHE so I'm glad to be back in business. The bands seem to be next to "closed" today but scored a 5/9 QSO with Special event station RM55GC and closed the log after a nice 5/9+10 chat with Scotsman Paul EA5IKJ operating from Spain.


Thank you all for accepting our invitation to this press conference. The objective of this press conference is for the Ghana Association of Social Workers to state its position on the report of the committee of enquiry into the Osu Children's Home and Boys Remand and Probation Home. Social Work is a tough job, one that you often do in difficult circumstances, and with little recognition.
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, as you are well aware, It is recalled that on 6th September, 2010, following the release and subsequent broadcasting of a video recording entitled among others "Home of hell", by investigative journalist, Mr. Anas Aremeyaw Anas, the Minister of Employment and Social Welfare constituted a committee to investigate the matter. The Committee which was represented by the Association of Social workers has since Wednesday 10th November 2010 submitted its findings, portions of which has been a subject of discussion in the media.
Ladies and Gentlemen, social work as a profession in Ghana has evolved over the years as a means of helping families, individuals, and institutions to survive. The profession is committed to the pursuit of social justice, to the enhancement of the quality of life, and to the development of the full potential of each individual, group and community in the society. The social work profession promotes social change, problem solving in human relationships and the empowerment and liberation of people to enhance well-being and built on a Code of Ethics.
With the finding of the committee for example, that "The Department of Social Welfare is understaffed and under-resourced" as indicated in the staffing and budget performance reviewed, there is indeed a crisis in the provision of state welfare services that demands practical, urgent and workable solutions. The measures should be drastic and should include contemporary social work training, resourcing and practice needs. This is more so because it is an established fact in social work that when social agencies and facilities such as Homes are under-resourced and staffed, practitioners are unable to meet the unique needs of the individual category of children under their care, set and maintain reasonable care and support standards. Other implications of the above scenario as confronting social workers in government agencies also includes but not limited to; excessive case workloads which can lead to workers making mistakes that harm their clients .
Child attendant ratios as well as caseworkers' ratio to children is paramount to effective care and support. Where there are more children than the care workers, it has the potential of creating job burn-out characterized by emotional exhaustion, and feelings of diminished accomplishment. This is the sad situation that many of our members who are working in some of the state agencies like Homes providing care and support to the vulnerable are going through on daily basis.
Distinguished ladies and Gentlemen of the Press, the Department of Social Welfare need a more realistic funding to enable them adopt a holistic approach in dealing with the other restrictive parameters that impacts the effectiveness of professional social workers at their disposal. It is not a question of lack of professional capacity of the social workers in the Homes per se. Indeed it is refreshing to state that social work training in Ghana has been adjudged as consistently meeting the required professional standards to the extent that the national body(GASOW), is accorded representation at the world wide International Federation of social workers (IFSW). Today, professional social workers in various positions and settings in the country are impacting people of every age, background, and in every corner of the country.
Ladies and Gentlemen, whenever a child is deliberately neglected or abused in any setting, there is inevitably great concern in case some important tell-tale sign has been missed. That is why upon watching the documentary the Association took steps to set up a committee to investigate the matter within the tenants of social work practice but had to stop and rather accepted the invitation by the Hon. Minister and for that matter the government to be part of the 11-member committee which also included 2 renown social work academics from the Institute of social work among other professionals.
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, in investigating allegations of child abuse and neglect those of us who sit in 'judgment' often do so with the great benefit of hindsight. So, as an Association, some of whose members are implicated in the video footage, we want to acknowledge social workers and other care workers who undertake the work of providing care and support to orphans and vulnerable children on behalf of us all. They deserve both our understanding and our support. It is a job which carries risks, because in every judgment they make, those staff have to balance the best interest of a child with that of the resources at their disposal particularly in the case of neglect.
Thus, while we accept that Social Workers in the Homes perform below standard for not keeping up-to-date case files and holding regular case conferencing , this is to be expected given the woefully inadequate staffing and funding support to the Homes by Governments over the years. The Officers at the Homes and those who have oversight supervisory responsibilities know what to do, but are simply overwhelmed.
Fellow Social Workers, Ladies and Gentlemen, as an Association we are pleased that this Inquiry has been more than just a forensic exercised.
The Committee has been charged with looking forward and to make recommendations for "how such allegations if found to be true, may, as much as possible, be avoided in the future". We are in no doubt that effective support for children and families in Ghana cannot be achieved by a single agency acting alone. It depends on a number of agencies working well together. It is a multi-disciplinary task and also not about the "absence of laws and social policies, it is about implementation". The National Association is impressed with the in-depth national and global perspectives that the committee adopted in reviewing the issues as presented in the video to arrive at the findings and recommendations.
It is insightful and instructive that the lack of funding for the Department of Social Welfare to execute its mandate, which has long been identified by the Association as the bane of professional social work practice in the department and validated by major national development programmes evaluations such as the GPRS 1 &2, has also been identified by the committee. In their findings on neglect, the committee notes 'the evidence points to an atmosphere of child neglect due to dangerous infrastructure, limited supervision, and insufficient staff to child ratio…." This is the core of the problem and the context within which the allegations in the video must be situated which we think the public need to know and appreciate.
In connection with the recommendation for the possible establishment of a council/commission on Social Work and Care in the country, we find this most appropriate, timely and in keeping with global trend and if implemented will impact positively on social work training and welfare provision, staff training and accountability among others. The Association wishes to assure the Ministry of Employment and Social Welfare and for that matter, the government of our preparedness in whatever capacity, in the implementation of the committee's recommendations, especially those that relate to professional social work. We are also particularly pleased that in addition to other documents reviewed, the committee managed to make time to review the Victoria Climbe Commission of Enquiry Report in the UK which is one of the most widely read report on child abuse and neglect by social work practitioners, researchers and academics and whose recommendations brought about profound reforms in social care and social work training, certification, coordination and professional accountability among others. This, from our analysis is the missing link in social welfare and care service provision in some state and non-state settings. A commission has the potential to make the social workers contribute more meaningfully to national development; their roles could possibly shift from functioning within the established order to a more critical focus, where practitioners are trained to question power and structures at both macro and micro levels, create more awareness of their own position as social workers and challenges them to continually find better, more inclusive ways to influence policy and legislation as well as develop themselves professionally.
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, since the submission of the report, there has been plenty of discussion on the report from different angles including the human rights, which was to be expected, but many are silent on other issues of concern to the committee; the children who have been stigmatized and the manner in which some of the pictures were taken by the volunteers. The use of forced, threats and coercion to obtain information for whatever purpose is globally unacceptable even in basic research work even if the end product is intended to bring about some reforms. When all this done, the best interest of the child should be the underlying reason for our actions and inactions. We need, as a country to move away from the notion that only the ends justify the means that is why we find it very disturbing that, after the lead investigator has publicly endorsed the Committee's work, he should still be engaged in virtually recycling the entire story/documentary in the print media.
Ladies and Gentlemen the impact on some of the children who have been identified in the footage being stigmatized and ridiculed at school should be a source of worry to us all. It is in connection with this that the Association fully endorses the recommendation by the committee for further investigation into the dealings of one Antonio R. a volunteer who has some contacts with the Homes, took most of their pictures and the operations of his NGO (Skyoflove) in Ghana and the USA.
We wish to appeal to all to critically examine the findings of the committee and its recommendations within the bigger picture of the problem analysis that has bedeviled State Provision of Social Welfare Services as vividly illustrated in the over 85-page report to enable us contribute to the implementation of the recommendations by the MESW when the plan is outlined.
In Conclusion, we wish to also commend the investigative journalist for his work, especially the seemingly confusing manner in which some of the footages have been presented and the ethical issues concerns notwithstanding. We hope he will take the concerns raised by different professions like the social work in good faith since there is always room for improvement in whatever endeavor that we embark on.
Finally, it has been said that the mark of a noble society is found not in the manner in which it helps the rich, but how it helps the poor and the vulnerable. Not in its virtues during good times, but in its character during hard times. Not in how it protects the powerful, but how it defends the vulnerable. Through the activities of social workers and care givers in the Homes and other Institutions across the country, let's all continue to donate to the Homes and other Institutions providing care and volunteer our times to bring constructive change to this country care and support programmes. We need all hands on deck. As you know, a complete soccer team needs a goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders, and strikers. We need policy makers to put in place the rights policies to facilitate the right climate for social care and hope that when eventually an implementation plan for some of the recommendations are put out by the Ministry of Employment and Social Welfare, all and sundry will support it. The legendry car maker, Henry Ford once said, "Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is a progress, and working together is success!" Let us work together as a team, to bring home the trophy of hope and glory, and steer this country in the direction it must go in professional social work care and support service provisions. The challenges are many but we are confident that the recommendations if implemented will go a long way to make this nation move forward to become an exemplary in the areas outlined above.
God blessed our Country Ghana and make us more determined than ever in the promotion and protection of child survival and development at all level of society.


Learning is a conversation with the world, from a newborn's brain lighting up as his mother sings to him, to a teenager choking on a test for fear of fulfilling a stereotype, to elderly people heading off cognitive decline by learning a new language. In an update to its landmark reports on education research, the National Academies' new How People Learn II digs into what science can tell schools about how to build on students' culture and experience to improve learning.
The new report expands on that idea, digging into the ways research suggests students' experiences affect how they engage with education and vice versa. "People do not simply collect memories, knowledge, and skills in a linear fashion, but through myriad processes that interact over time to influence the way they make sense of the world," said Cora Bagley Marrett, the former deputy director of the National Science Foundation, professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and chair of the committee that conducted the report.
The committee also confronted common teaching ideas that have not been borne out, such as teaching for different learning styles. "The appeal of this approach, which has gotten substantial public attention, is the premise that all students can succeed if the instruction is customized. However, experimental research has consistently shown that learning styles do not exist as described by the concept's proponents, so categorizing and teaching children according to such styles is problematic," they concluded.
To be effective, teachers must understand how students' prior knowledge, experiences, motivations, interests, and language and cognitive skills interact with those of the teacher's own experiences and culture and the characteristics and culture of the classroom.
Students should be supported in directing their own learning, via targeted feedback, opportunities to reflect on what they've learned, challenges matched to their abilities, and help in developing meaningful goals.

Another year is coming to a close and in spite of efforts by operatives from the Clark County R3publicans, the little blog performed well again, exceeding 100,000 views in the year. A summary provided by WordPress can be viewed at Annual Review.
2014 was a year of revelations to me, many I wish I hadn't seen that have left me very distrustful of some elected officials I previously supported. One of the bigger disappointments was hearing very early in the year of a new media source forming that would fill the void left by the Lazy C and not seeing it materialize, but amount to little more than a facebook page.
Be that as it may, 2015 is before us with many unknowns that only time will reveal.
Happy New Year to one and all. I sincerely hope you all have a great 2015 where you prosper and thrive.


Welcome to the Week em Breve! This week in Portugal: An MP for the Animals, Tax and Economic Warnings, the Fight for Equal Rights, Upping Petroleum but Reducing Paper, Alojamento Local and more!
Who Let the Dogs On?
Who said the news always has to be bad? Medium and large animals will now be able to ride on Carris transport! This follows a recommendation by the Pessoas-Animais-Natureza party (PAN), which also included the request that tickets should be based on the socioeconomic situation of the holder and the size of the animal. It will not be a rolling petting zoo, however, with carriers and leashes required as well as restricted times and numbers.
PAN isn't just focussed on your poodle, they have their sights set on a much bigger target. They announced a bill that would ban bullfighting in Portugal, which is one of the few countries where it remains. The party says that entertainment doesn't trump an animal's right to life, as their sole MP, André Silva, refutes the idea of it being part of Portugal's cultural heritage. PAN has previously fought against broadcasting bullfights, but this is the first time they are presenting a bill to outright ban the practice.
So PAN is coming out swinging, but what have the other parties been up to this week? Well, the socialists made the news by… being socialists. That's right, the general secretary of the PCP, Jerónimo de Sousa, has called for the re-nationalization of EDP. This follows a takeover bid by China Three Gorges, a Chinese state-owned power company. In a battle that doesn't look to be going away any time soon, this deal is set to be the litmus test of attitudes toward Chinese investment.
The tax charged by the Portuguese government in 2017 was the highest it has been since 1995, totaling €3.34 billion! Most of this increase comes from IVA, IRC and contribuições sociais. Statistics Portugal, which released the data, said that this put the tax burden at 34.7% of GDP last year, which is still lower than the European average.
The GDP is growing, tax receipts are rising, the Portuguese economy seems on the up-and-up. Well, Jean Tirole has come to rain on that parade, warning that while Portugal "has been behaving better than other countries," the country "clearly, and given the circumstances, cannot declare victory, because the crisis can come back." The Nobel Prize-winning economist was quick to point out, however, that he is no expert on the Portuguese economy. Still worth listening to, perhaps.
We have mentioned the Associação Solidariedade Imigrante before thanks to their very active role in the Mayday parade. They are back in the news this week after holding a demonstration outside the Assembleia da República. They were demanding equal rights for immigrants, as it's often a struggle for them to get paperwork or access to the national health service.
Other demonstrations have taken place due to the Portuguese Environmental Agency giving the go-ahead to exploratory drilling in Aljezur. They concluded that "there are no significant negative impacts." Many environmentalists and local residents oppose the drilling, and the decision comes after a long public consultation. However, it seems that this "consultation" didn't really take into account what a lot of the respondents said.
Portugal is set to modernize its courts' bureaucracy following the realization that they spend €20 million a year processing paper. It is reported that €18 million of this is spent on mail, and the remaining €2 million is on items like ink and paper. Computerization has begun, and it is not just to tackle the high costs, but also due to environmental concerns and to improve the access to files.
It seems a week cannot pass without alojamento local coming up at least once. Câmara de Lisboa is looking to step into the role of regulator when it comes to holiday lets in the city. The Câmara has proposed that quotas are the solution. They can be used to limit the number of alojamento local in popular historical districts, and encourage them in other neighborhoods. It was made very clear that there was no intention to stop holiday lets, so it looks as though Airbnb will continue to reign supreme.

Alfa Romeo T33/TT/3 – The Remarkable Story Of 115.72.002
December 19, 2020 Editor Book Reviews
This wonderful book, number 10 in the Exceptional Cars series by Porter Press, details the remarkable story of the Alfa Romeo T33/TT/3 that was produced by Alfa's Autodelta racing department to compete in the 1972 World Championship for Makes.
Although the Alfas achieved regular podium positions, they struggled to take on the might of Ferrari, however perhaps their most memorable race was coming second in the epic Targa Florio Sicilian road race, where driver Helmut Marko put in a stirring drive to come within seconds of victory. As author Ian Wagstaff says in his opening introduction:
"It was one of the finest laps ever witnessed on Sicily's 72km (45-mile) Piccolo Circuit. The pride of Alfa Romeo was at stake and an inspired, possessed even, Helmut Marko had given his all."
Marko was driving chassis 115.72.002, one of the tubular-framed developments of the Tipo 33 concept that Autodelta raced for only one season but was the most successful of the T33/TT/3 chassis, which was to enjoy a second career on the race circuits and hillclimbs of Greece, before its eventual return to Europe, where it is still a frequent competitor in historic events.
This particular car went on to become an important historic racing car, competing in Japan and South Africa, owned by Andrew Fletcher and Willie Tucket. The car then became a regular competitor at European race events, initially at the hands of Franco Meiners and then with its current owner, Martin Halusa.
Author Ian Wagstaff, started putting together motor racing reports back in the early 1970s, having started work with Motor Sport magazine. A freelance journalist since 1986, he has been writing for automotive and business publications as well as the motor racing press and has won multiple awards for his previous books.
Wagstaff starts off the story of this car in Part 1 of the book when an Alfa Romeo T33/TT/3 was first seen in public in 1971 driven by German driver Rolf Stommelen.
We then step back in time in Chapter 1 as the book looks at Alfa Romeo's heritage when the manufacturer took part in its first Targa Florio before World War 1 prior to production being halted due to the war. The company then returned to producing cars at the end of the war and became Alfa Romeo in 1920 with the aim of creating a sporting legend and attracting the notorious designer Vittorio Jano away from Fiat.
In 1935, Tazio Nuvolari beat the dominant Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union teams in a Scuderia Ferrari-entered Alfa Romeo. The Alfa's win at the German Grand Prix went down in history as one of the greatest days of motorsport.
In Chapter 2, Wagstaff looks at the birth of the Tipo 33 when in 1966 there were rumours circulating that Alfa Romeo were thinking of building an endurance prototype with a V8 engine in order to get Alfa back into mainstream international motor racing once again.
The Alfa Romeo engineers under Autodelta's Carlo Chiti, produced a barchetta which featured a light alloy Lucas fuel-injected 1,995cc, 90-degree V8 engine, giving out 260bhp at 9,000rpm, making the car extremely competitive.
The 1968 Le Mans saw six 2-litre Alfa Romeos entered with Carlo Facetti and Mario Casoni finishing the race fifth and sixth, respectively.
By the end of 1969, Chiti believed that the majority of the T33/3's teething problems had been sorted as well as the bodywork being cleaned up. So, Chapter 3, entitled 'Enter the T33/TT/3', opens with the 1971 season, by which time Carlo Chiti had sorted out the team management and the cars were proving to be not only quick but also reliable. This combination began to show with a victory at Brands Hatch at the BOAC 1,000Kms race at the hands of Andrea de Adamich and Henri Pescarolo. And perhaps even more importantly, Nino Vaccarella and Toine Hezemans won the Targa Florio, Alfa Romeo's first victory there since 1935, giving the Porsche 908s a run for their money. Following the Sicilian race, Motor Sport's Denis Jenkinson wrote:
"It is becoming more and more evident that, whereas Autodelta used to be a separate concern form Alfa Romeo, the Milan racing department is getting much more involved in the Tipo 33/3 project."
In part 2 of the book, Wagstaff takes a look at the factory car with Chapter 4 heading to 'The Americas' when on 9th January 1972, Vic Elford and Helmut Marko came fourth in the Buenos Aires 1,000Kms in Argentina. The chapter also has a section on Englishman Vic Elford, who is considered to be one of endurance racing greats. However, it was in rallying that he first made a name for himself.
There is of course also a section on Austrian Helmut Marko, who was a great friend of Jochen Rindt, and had 10 grand prix under his belt driving a BRM before he was unfortunately blinded in his left eye by a flying stone from Emerson Fittipaldi's Lotus, which pierced his visor at the 1972 French Grand Prix, sadly putting an end to his Formula 1 racing career. He will perhaps be best remembered though for his race a few weeks earlier when he drove his Alfa Romeo T33/TT/3 002 around the Targa Florio circuit, chasing the lead Ferrari, and narrowly missing out on victory.
The Alfa Romeo T33/TT/3 (002) came third at The Daytona 24 in Florida on 6th February, again driven by Vic Elford and Helmut Marko before moving onto The Florida International 12-Hours of Endurance at Sebring, where the Alfa again finished third with Nino Vaccarella at the wheel.
It was then over to Europe (Chapter 5) for the Alfa Romeo and Brands Hatch on 16th April 1972 for the BOAC 1,000Kms, where Nanni Galli and Helmut Marko came sixth. On 1st May the Alfa finished fourth at the Coppa d'Oro Shell in Imola, once again driven by Galli. On 21st May, Galli and Marko famously came second at the Targa Florio in Sicily with that amazing drive by Marko that we have already referred to.
The Chapter also takes a look at Italian Nanni Galli, who tried to hide his racing from his wealthy Bolognese family, starting his racing career in the mid-60s driving a Mini Cooper S before he joined Alfa Romeo in 1967 to race both touring and sportscars. In 1967 me moved into single-seater racing, driving a Formula 2 Brabham-Alfa Romeo BT23 and then into Formula 1 the following year.
The Alfa then came third at the ADAC-1,000Kms-Rennen at the Nürburgring in Germany at the hands of Helmut Marko and Andrea de Adamich. The next race in the calendar, was the famous Le Mans 24 Hours on 11th June, where the Matra of Graham Hill dominated Alfa, and where Hill became the only man to win the Triple Crown of the Formula 1 World Championship, Indianapolis and Le Mans. The Alfa Romeo T33/TT/3 finished the race fourth with Adamich and Vaccarella driving.
Chapter 6 is entitled 'The Alfas race on' as by the mid-1970s the World Championship for Makes was not what it used to be, and a new World Sports Car Championship was introduced in 1976. As a result, the Alfa Romeo T33/TT/12s won every round of the 1977 championship.
Part 3 of the book takes a look at chassis 002's life after Autodelta, with Chapter 7 talking about the car's eclectic career, competing in the hill roads of Greece, a brief appearance in Japan and racing in South Africa when Andrew Fletcher finished runner up at Kyalami in 1989. The car then became a regular in the European historic car racing scene.
In May 2011, Alfa Romeo T33/TT/3 002 became the property of Monaco-based Meiners. The car was then sent to historic race specialist Hall and Hall in Bourne, Lincolnshire to give the car the once over before it began racing again. The car was raced on a number of occasions at the 2012 and 2014 Le Mans Classic. It then travelled back to Italy in October 2014 to be used in a promotional event for energy-drink brand and Formula 1 manufacturer Red Bull. Franco Meiners drove the car in the morning before Daniel Ricciardo took over in the afternoon, who at the time was driving for Red Bull Racing.
Today, Alfa Romeo T33/TT/3 002 is owned by Martin Halusa, who believes that the 1970s was when the most interesting cars were created. Hulusa said of his new car:
"We are not just collectors, but we also want to race our cars, and it seemed that the Alfa was an attractive balance between collectability and raceability. We like the Alfa brand anyway. So we went on a search."
The final chapter of the book, Chapter 11, is filled with 18 pages of fabulous studio quality colour photographs showing the car beautifully restored in all its fascinating detail, photographed by John Colley, taken in Tim Samway's Oxfordshire workshop.
The book itself is lavishly illustrated throughout with a mix of period and contemporary images, many of which have never been published and is book any Alfa Romeo and motorsport enthusiast should have in their collection.
