I always had the goal to spend a semester as an Exchange student somewhere around the globe. It was one of my requirements to the University to have a various offer on exchange programs. So, it came that I got the opportunity to do my exchange in a wonderful country called Australia!
Directly after I visited my first lesson in the Orientation Week, I could feel it would be an awesome time at Uni. As usual the start of the semester is a bit overwhelming, by organising and adopt yourself in a new university, especially when you are alone in a country which is located 16500km away from your home. Anyway, that is a fact which makes the whole thing much more interesting and adventurous. It doesn't really take much till I met new people which were in the exact same situation as I was.
Once you spent a couple of weeks in Australia, you start getting into the culture of the Aussies. Therefore, the thing I noticed, is that the Aussies have an easy-going behaviour which I really appreciate, whereas back in Switzerland a lot of things appear much tougher. This attitude reflects also to the University. As I started my biggest fear was to keep up with the language during the semester and especially for the exams. This fear was gone as soon I did the first assignment tasks. Compared to Switzerland where your grades depend all on one big final exam, at USC the courses are divided into 3 different tasks. Each of them contributes to the final grade. Within some courses you could even reach a Pass-Grade (set by 50%) by doing the first 2 Tasks. Consequently, as soon I got my first Grades, I could focus on exploring this amazing Country.
My best experience during the Exchange was to explore the most beautiful places I've ever seen. I don't even know where to start. Since I've never been in Australia before I didn't really know what to expect about, except that every little creature could possibly kill me, regarding the most venomous animals live here. Well Great Barrier Reef, Whitsunday Islands, Fraser Island, hundreds of Waterfalls, amazing surf spots, rainforests, outback deserts and endless beaches everywhere are only a bunch of things to explore. The fact that you can spend some time at the beach with swimming, surfing or simply getting a nice tan, and it reaches temperatures of 25°-30° in the WINTER, it's reason enough to go to Australia (compared to Switzerland). Summarised I don't want to spoil too much, I just want to say I was never as enchanted by a country like Australia!

Krypton is een scheikundig element met symbool Kr en atoomnummer 36. Het is een kleurloos edelgas.

Ontdekking
In 1898 is krypton ontdekt door William Ramsay en Morris Travers.
Het bleef over bij de ontleding van vloeibare lucht na het verwijderen van water, zuurstof, stikstof, helium en argon. Een week later ontdekte het duo op dezelfde manier ook neon.

De naam krypton is afkomstig van het Griekse kryptos, wat verborgen betekent.

Toepassingen
Krypton is duur (30 tot 65 dollar per liter) en in de meeste gevallen te vervangen door goedkopere edelgassen. Daarom wordt het slechts op zeer beperkte schaal industrieel toegepast. Enkele gebieden waar krypton wel wordt gebruikt zijn:
 In fotografische flitsers, speciaal bij hogesnelheidsfotografie.
 In fluorescerende verlichting wordt soms een mengsel van argon en krypton toegepast. Krypton licht op, net als neon, wanneer het wordt toegepast in een gasontladingslamp. Het verschil is de kleur licht: neon licht oranjerood op; krypton bleek-paars.
 Als vulling voor geïsoleerd glas.
 Van 1960 tot 1983 is krypton gebruikt voor de definitie van de meter. Ter vervanging van de standaardmeter (legering van platina en iridium) in Parijs werd de standaardmeter vastgesteld aan de hand van de rood-oranje spectrumlijn van het krypton-86 isotoop.
 Kryptongas wordt in de medische wereld gebruikt in de nucleaire geneeskunde: het wordt gebruikt bij longscintigrafie. Hierbij ademt de patiënt het kryptongas via een mondstukje in, er kan vervolgens met een gammacamera een beeld worden verkregen van de ventilatie in de longen.
 Kryptongas kan als stuwstof voor een ionenmotor worden gebruikt. SpaceX' eerste generatie Starlink-satellieten gebruiken krypton bij hun voortstuwing.

Opmerkelijke eigenschappen
Krypton is een edelgas dat bekendstaat om de scherpe groene en oranjerode lijnen in het spectrum.

Verschijning
In de aardse atmosfeer komt krypton voor in een concentratie van ongeveer 1 ppm. In de atmosfeer van Mars is die concentratie ongeveer 0,3 ppm. Krypton wordt uit de lucht gewonnen met behulp van fractionele destillatie. Hoewel krypton een edelgas is, lijkt het erop dat er toch verbindingen mogelijk zijn. Er zijn in het verleden al kleine hoeveelheden kryptondifluoride geproduceerd en er is melding gemaakt van de moleculaire ionen ArKr+, KrH+ en KrXe+.

Isotopen

In de natuur komen zes stabiele isotopen van krypton voor. Daarnaast zijn er ongeveer 18 instabiele isotopen bekend waarvan alleen 78Kr in de natuur voorkomt.

Toxicologie en veiligheid
Krypton is niet brandbaar en niet giftig, maar in hoge concentraties kan het verstikkend werken door verdringing van zuurstof.

Se denomina Sociedad de los Siete a una supuesta sociedad secreta compuesta de igual número de individuos que en nombre del pueblo y demás miembros de la elite de Buenos Aires se constituyó en el foco del movimiento político que condujo y orientó  los sucesos de mayo de 1810. Desde el punto de vista historiográfico, la existencia de este grupo activo, inteligente y previsor llenó la necesidad de dilucidar quienes habían conformado el "sujeto de la revolución" que, con conciencia de sus actos, actuó como "mano invisible" del proceso "revolucionario". Sin embargo, análisis historiográficos de la primera mitad del siglo XX concluyeron que se trataba de "una fábula destituida de todo fundamento a pesar de su arraigo" y que la pregonada "Sociedad" era un mito repetido por una tradición de narradores.

Antecedentes

 El Bosquejo del Deán Funes

El Deán Gregorio Funes fue el autor del primer relato de cierta importancia sobre la llamada "Revolución de Mayo". En su Bosquejo publicado en 1817 señaló que el movimiento revolucionario solo podía ser comprendido dentro del marco de la crisis de la Monarquía española. Si bien era cierto que los dirigentes revolucionarios arriesgaron vida y fortuna, Funes dejó en claro que estos no podían ser considerados como autores y/o promotores de tales sucesos sino que simplemente aprovecharon con prudencia una situación favorable. La prudencia se observó en lo incruento que fue el movimiento y el hecho de que el nuevo gobierno que reemplazo a Cisneros lo hizo en nombre del Rey Fernando VII. Para Funes, la Revolución se había "producido por el mismo curso de los sucesos", y en su descripción usó metáforas vinculados con fenómenos naturales para dar a entender que el proceso revolucionario estaba fuera de la voluntad y la acción humana. En el mismo sentido Alberdi señaló mucho después que una revolución "se hace a veces sin revolucionarios, por la simple necesidad de las cosas, que interesan a la mejora y el bienestar social". Funes no mencionó la existencia de una Sociedad de los Siete.

 Congreso Constituyente de 1826

En el Congreso Constituyente de 1826, durante  los meses de mayo a junio, se dio un debate para determinar la autoría de la Revolución. El gobierno había enviado un proyecto para construir un monumento a dichos autores para lo cual se requería seleccionar los nombres que se inscribirían en el mismo y a los cuales se otorgaría una pensión. De inmediato surgieron dificultades para definir no solo los nombres sino los criterios para determinarlos. En un clima de rumores y enojos se decidió aprobar el proyecto pero eliminando los nombres y por ende las pensiones. El historiador Wasserman sintetizó así las diferentes posturas de los diputados:

a) Los que aprobaban el proyecto pero que estaban divididos entre lo que decían que los autores eran conocidos y los que sostenían que no lo eran pero que se podía averiguar pese al peligro de cometer errores.

b) Los que rechazaban el proyecto que a su vez se dividían entre los que sostenían que por la complejidad del proceso no podía haber autores y los que decían que ese momento no era el adecuado y que debía dejarse pasar el tiempo.

De todas maneras el consenso mayoritario fue que "los sucesos revolucionarios habían sido provocados por una combinación de azar, providencia y en menor medida genio y sentido de la oportunidad" . En un primer plano se colocó nuevamente la descomposición del poder español y en un segundo plano la reacción de las elites ante esa crisis. Ninguno de los diputados mencionó la existencia de una "Sociedad de los Siete" que en este caso hubiera servido de punto de partida para determinar quienes habían sido los autores de la revolución.

El análisis de Funes y el debate en el Congreso Constituyente influyeron en las décadas siguientes incluso en el corpus de memorias, biografías y autobiografías que se escribieron para dar cuenta de los sucesos. Un ejemplo lo constituye las Memorias de Cornelio Saavedra escrita en 1829. Saavedra insistió en que fueron la crisis monárquica y la presión de las potencias extranjeras las causas de la Revolución y  "no [debido] a algunos presumidos de sabios y doctores que en las reuniones de los cafés y sobre la carpeta, hablaban de ella, mas no se decidieron hasta que nos vieron (hablo de mis compañeros y de mi mismo) con las armas en la mano resueltos ya a verificarla". Si bien era cierto que Saavedra adoptó una actitud polémica  contra aquellos "presumidos" sabios y doctores que cuestionaron su actuación no es menos cierto que se apoyaba en que no existían documentos que con claridad mostraran que la Revolución hubiera sido obra de algún grupo esclarecido.

Alberdi también se refirió a los relatos biográficos y testimoniales que pretendían colocar a los protagonistas como activos y decisivos participantes: "No se ha de olvidar tampoco la monomanía de la iniciativa [sic] que, en 1810, lo mismo que hoy, hacía que cada recluta se considerase principal actor y agente indispensable.

 Mitre y su Historia de Belgrano

En su Historia de Belgrano (1858), Bartolomé Mitre introdujo una innovación en la interpretación de la Revolución de Mayo: la existencia de un sujeto revolucionario que era consciente de sus actos y del sentido del proceso. Esto colocó en un segundo plano el énfasis que hasta entonces se había dado a la crisis imperial como factor principal ya que, por su carácter contingente, dificultaba la interpretación de la Revolución como la manifestación de una conciencia nacional. Para Mitre, este sujeto revolucionario tenía dos características, en primer lugar, el apoyo del pueblo lo que implicaba que estos luchaban junto a la elite por la misma causa y, en segundo lugar, que esta elite había logrado su maduración ideológica en la época tardo colonial a la cual definía como menos opresiva y limitante de lo que se había afirmado hasta entonces.

Mitre señaló, sin mencionar fuente alguna, que se había formado una sociedad secreta de siete individuos, destacando las características psicológicas y tendencias de cada uno de ellos y sobre todo la conciencia que tenían respecto de su misión dentro de un movimiento más vasto formado por el resto de la elite y el pueblo, del cual era la cabeza dirigente y la manifestación de sus necesidades. Sin embargo las citas que hacia Mitre de Belgrano, el personaje principal de su Historia, no se ajustaban a su interpretación.  Para resolver estas dificultades Mitre recurrió a la teoría de la "falsa conciencia" de Belgrano y demás precursores que en ciertos momentos no se daban cuenta racional de la dirección del "torrente" de acontecimientos que se estaba dando. Mitre reforzó estas contradictorias explicaciones recurriendo nuevamente a las metáforas relacionadas con fenómenos naturales y a las "miras inescrutables de la Providencia" o la "astucia de la historia" que volvían con cierta fatalidad los sucesos desfavorables en favorables.

Entre 1864 y 1865 Alberdi analizó estas posturas de Mitre y concluyó que era ocioso atribuir al pueblo o a una minoría dirigente la función de "sujeto de la revolución" si la independencia había sido en definitiva consecuencia de factores exógenos. Alberdi se oponía a todo aquello que intentara construir leyendas para encantar a un público impresionable.

El análisis de Juan Canter

En su trabajo sobre  las "Sociedades secretas y literarias", en la obra colectiva Historia de la Nación Argentina de la Academia Nacional de la Historia, al referirse a la "Sociedad de los Siete", el historiador Juan Canter afirmó que era  Las pruebas que Canter expuso para "desembarazar el conocimiento histórico de esta fábula" fueron:

 Que la nómina de los miembros de la sociedad variaban según diferentes autores.
 Que en muchos casos superaban la cantidad de siete miembros.
 Que, como hecho sorprendente en una sociedad secreta, carecía de jefatura.
 Que en ninguna Memoria, Autobiografía o documento se hacía referencia a esa sociedad secreta.
 Que resultaba difícil aceptar que los participantes de un proceso revolucionario, comprometidos y juramentados, no recordaran con toda exactitud a la referida sociedad.
 Que las reuniones en las casas de Vieytes y Rodríguez Peña no implicaba que los concurrentes constituyeran una sola entidad. De hecho tales reuniones continuaron después del 25 de mayo donde se seguían debatiendo asuntos encontrados.
 Que resultaba inexplicable que la mayoría de los miembros de la sociedad no figuraran en la Junta. O que figurara Alberti, sacerdote bien considerado pero sin ninguna gravitación.
 Que el "siete" tenía indudable vinculación con los números de tipo mágico-cabalístico.

Canter encontró gran resistencia debido a que se trataba de uno de los puntos "dramáticos" que constituían los relatos clásicos de la revolución y que había sido canonizado por Mitre. Durante la segunda mitad del año 1939, Canter llegó a publicar siete artículos refutando comentarios de aficionados a la historia que se negaban a aceptar sus conclusiones.

We are newly owned by a year old female Nicky. We got her when a friend of my son had her in a crate and was taking her to a shelter to get rid of her because she "wasn't learning fast enough." (potty training) Can you imagine? They're a little too smart, actually. Where do you get the nice coats for your dogs? And do you generally get size XL? Thanks very much and I enjoy the videos.
What good fortune for you and Nicky to find each other. My guys wear Chilly Dogs brand coats – they size by length, so make sure to measure Nicky before you order. Instructions for measuring are on their site.
Thanks very much for your quick reply. I already made one buying mistake and discovered how really LONG their legs are. She is a 'velcro' dog in that she follows me from room to room and if I lie down she curls up next to me and puts her head across me. So much so that one day I couldn't find her and asked my son to go room to room and look for her. I finally opened the bathroom door and there she was. No barking, maybe just confused about why I wanted her in there. She is really bonded to my younger ,son first though. When he comes home she's off like a flash. He works graveyard at Amazon (warehouse) and gets home at about 5:30 a.m. I can see where some people have more than on RR. The vet said Nicky was mixed with hound. Her ridge is faint but if she 'alerts' on something (she barks) it stands out. She is a beautiful reddish caramel color, has white on her big paws and a splotch on her chest.
Dear Will, I love your blogs and how you express your love for Rhodesian Ridgebacks.. You understand their character.
5 years ago I lost my soulmate Denzel, when I saw the pain you felt with losing Eko, everything came back to me.. Me and my little ridgeback girl had to do it on our own.. shortly after our loss there came Thimba in our lives.. A 3 year old ridgeback boy who needed A new owner.. For 5,5 years he brought love And lots of humor .. I love him sooo much!! Always in my shadow, making jokes, running with my girl, dripping water all over the Floor, sitting on the table, alway ready to steal food..T ill he died last tuesday.. my world is falling apart again.. My heart bumps out of my chest.. I almost cant handle the pain..
I hope I van get myself together for my girl, but its so hard.. I hope in A while I can enjoy our sweet memories.. Its great to love A dog so much, but when they leave the pain is devastating..
It's an impossibly difficult loss no matter when it happens and no matter how many times we live through it. We each have to suffer anew and in our own way each dreadful time. The price we pay is heavy, but never regrettable. When you're ready, make sure you find another dog like Denzel and Thimba. No better legacy for that love.
I am a huge fan of your videos as I am a Rhodesian Ridgeback lover myself. I was fortunate enough to be raised with a Rhodesian Ridgeback female named Ginger. She passed away in my teenage years and I longed for another one ever since. Well… I joined the military and got sent overseas. Due to my living in on base in the dorms I could not have a dog. While I was in Germany, my brother searched a breeder in Michigan and got a female Rhodesian Ridgeback named Cabela! I knew it was my chance to beg my brother to breed! A few years later, Cabela gave birth to her first liter. 13 puppies! Can you believe the size of her liter! I know my brother was shocked, but I was thrilled knowing I would get my first puppy April 2014 and I named her Jasmine. Jasmine is almost 4 years old now, and my brother decided to breeds again. The second liter Cabela had 15 puppies!! After watching your videos, my husband dying for a dog, and giving into the temptation of getting another dog, we are happy to add another Rhodesian Ridgeback to our family February 2018! I think it was the inspiration of your YouTube videos that gave me the courage to handle two dogs! The fun does not stop there… my husbands best friend is deploying and wanted a puppy like Jasmine. I will be watching two puppies until his return! It is going to be a blast, but I wanted to share my story and love for Rhodesian Ridgebacks to you and your family. Thank you for posting the videos as I know I will be watching a few for puppy encouragement to see how to train a puppy all over again.
In a world loaded to the hilt with dogs , and people who argue, debate, judge and fight over dogs and dog issues, nothing is more refreshing than a simple and tasteful, honest medium of expression about the love and lessons dogs bring to our lives.
You love dogs for what they are and what they add to the human condition. You are honest, clear and non-judgmental. What a wonderful concept.
More than once your blog has made me cry. It was a GOOD thing. Keep doing what you're doing. Long live Penny and Zero, and Eko immortal!
Thanks so much for all the kind words! Really glad you've found the blog worthy of your time. No better legacy for what Eko began than for his love to continue to echo through this blog.

For Dr. Jennifer Bain, assistant professor and interim department chair of periodontics and preventive sciences in the University of Mississippi School of Dentistry, teaching is about maximizing her ability to reach people and touch lives.
"Any given year, I teach about 150 students," said Bain. "If 30 of those go into private practice, I can reach more people. It's rewarding. I'm a passionate person, and I really enjoy seeing someone else develop a love for something I love."
With this approach, it's no wonder Bain has been the recipient of so many awards in her comparatively short teaching career. Bain was appointed to the position in the School of Dentistry in 2014, was awarded an American Academy of Periodontology Foundation teaching fellowship, took home the Hembree Honor Society D3 full-time clinical faculty all-star award and the D4 full-time clinical professor of the year in 2015, and earned the society's D2 clinical science professor of the year in 2016.
On Monday the 2009 dental school graduate was chosen to receive the 2016 Regions Bank TEACH (Toward Educational Advancement in Care and Health) Prize.
Five finalists were chosen from the Nelson Order inductees to compete for the TEACH Prize. Pictured from the left are Vice Chancellor LouAnn Woodward; William P. Daley, M.D., School of Medicine; Kim Douglass, M.S.N., School of Nursing; Jennifer Bain, D.M.D., School of Dentistry; Juanyce Taylor, Ph.D., School of Health Related Professions; Bridget Chisolm, Pharm.D., School of Pharmacy; and Alon Bee, Regions Bank city president of metro Jackson.
The TEACH Prize celebrates the highest qualities of the Medical Center's teaching faculty and is chosen from the inductees to the Norman C. Nelson Order of Teaching Excellence each year. The winner receives a cash award of $10,000 and recognition at the luncheon honoring Nelson Order inductees.
This year's is the first induction of the Nelson Order since the recent passing of its namesake, vice chancellor for health affairs and dean of the School of Medicine from 1973-1994, Dr. Norman Crooks Nelson. Nelson was not only the longest-serving leader in the history of UMMC, he had a reputation for being a master teacher.
Attending the luncheon were representatives from Regions Bank, including Alon Bee, Regions Bank city president for metro Jackson, who presented the award to Bain.
"The Regions Bank TEACH Prize is one of my favorite events that Regions sponsors each year," said Bee. "It is an honor for me to participate in recognizing a distinguished faculty member at UMMC who has made an impact in the classroom, as well as the health-care community."
Bain, right, works in the clinic with Andrew Morgan D1, left, and Skyler Miles, D3, center. The patient is Toby Brandon, D1.
Seven years ago, Bain was chosen from her graduating class to represent the school in a collection of graduate stories. The Magee native was quoted in the CenterView publication saying, "I knew I had to put in an effort, because nothing's given to you."
As a student, Bain became "the most prolific student-researcher in dental school." It appears she is putting in even more effort as a teacher.
Responsible for redesigning the periodontal curriculum, Bain integrated basic and clinical teaching into the coursework. First-year dental students are now introduced to the clinical application behind the science they are learning.
Bain said that her teaching philosophy is driven by the Chinese Proverb which says, "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."
"I feel that in order for students to not only remember but understand, they must be actively engaged in the content," said Bain. "In a world with increasing complexity of care and science, we must teach in new ways, linking new science to diagnoses and treatments."
Hearing from her students, this philosophy works.
"What she's taught us in the classroom has been above and beyond what I would expect for a first-year dental student," said D1 Andrew Morgan. "I had no idea I'd learn so much. She integrated into the clinical aspect a real-world application of why the science matters."
Morgan said that although Bain challenged the students and asked a lot of them, she provided the tools they would need "to complete the tasks and to be one step closer to being able to treat the patient."
Bain takes the responsibility of training Mississippi's future oral-health-care providers very seriously.
"The knowledge and skills we impart affect not just the students themselves but the health of their future patients," said Bain. "I cannot merely teach information and hope they 'get it.' I have to somehow ensure it."
Bain is the first faculty from the School of Dentistry to be awarded the TEACH Prize, which was first awarded in 2013.
"We are incredibly proud," said Dr. David Felton, dean of the dental school. "Dr. Bain is a gifted teacher and a great innovator, adapting emerging teaching methodologies into the classroom. She epitomizes excellence in academics. Her novel, evidence-based approach to teaching periodontics, her research background and experience, along with her clinical expertise in periodontal surgery and the surgical placement of dental implants, make her the true 'triple threat' faculty."
For Bain, the prize offers a sense of validation as a professor.
"I work really hard, from the time I get here in the morning until I leave campus after six. At home, I have family time then I work until late at night on lecture prep. Winning the TEACH Prize lets me know that others see and appreciate my efforts."

Probably everyone has a couple of friends or neighbors — let's call them Damian and Raisa Pavlovna S. — retired, who has found an outlet in the country and love to mess around with flower beds and bushes of tomatoes.
But this hobby has a downside. Once Damian S. disappears from sight. According to the couple, it became difficult to walk due to arthritis — inflammation of the knee joint. This problem is very typical for summer residents, especially the elderly.
Our conventionally taken the pensioner complains of aching in the joints when weather changes. This is one of the specific symptoms of arthritis, detection of which urgently need to seek medical help, otherwise the joint may lose mobility.
Like any inflammatory process, arthritis of the knee characterized by pain, redness and swelling. The knee becomes hot, bad bends, walking becomes difficult. When moving the joint may appear/be heard crunching. Sometimes it feels like the knee is bursting from the inside.
Troubles can add insomnia and headaches, weakness, fatigue and poor appetite. Can increase the body temperature. That's why Damian S. has ceased to leave the house and constantly in a bad mood.
The principle of operation of a knee joint similar to the mechanism of the car. Here, each item performs its important function of bones is a skeleton, the cartilage protects the bones from abrasion, synovial fluid is a lubricant, it facilitates sliding and protects the elements of the joint from wear and tear, ligaments connect the bones of the femur and tibia, cartilage, meniscus is the shock absorbers and stabilizers. To the knee joint are attached to the muscles, which leg is bent and unbent for communication with the brain in knees there are nerve receptors, power provide of blood vessels, protect against infection lymph nodes. The system is complicated and fragile at the same time — knees very easily injured, they suffer from excessive stress and, like cars, need regular movement otherwise the mechanism is "rusty": over time, your knees begin to "knock", "crunch", sore and swollen.
Conventionally, all the causes of arthritis can be divided into specific and nonspecific. The first group includes infectious diseases, the second "improper use" of the joints: high loads, injuries, sedentary lifestyle, excess body weight. If arthritis specific, it should be treated in parallel with the main disease. Arthritis can also be a companion of psoriasis which is not contagious.
Summer residents included in risk groups. Long stay in one position, frequent lifting, careless movement in the bed — joints wear out quickly.
In older people arthritis occurs in the background of the salt deposits in the joints and slow metabolism. No wonder they say: motion is life.
Each garden Association August — hot time. Need the time to collect ripe fruits and vegetables, to prepare the earth and plant the root crops — onions, carrots, beets, radishes. And for all on country calendar dedicated their time. Peace is the basic requirement of experts during exacerbation of arthritis. However, the arthritis, unlike osteoarthritis, can be treated with drugs. The main thing — not to start the problem and time to seek professional help.
Modern medicine can do without pills that can adversely affect liver function. To reduce pain, swelling and inflammation of the knee joint will help Airtal® cream is the only aceclofenac in a form of a cream, with proven clinical efficacy. Airtal® cream has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activity. When this colorless cream is odorless and has no warming or cooling effect — to use it comfortably. Airtal® should be applied and massaged on the affected area three times a day. The applied dose depends on the size of the affected area: 1.5-2 g of cream Airtal® (approximately equivalent to a strip of cream the length of 5-7 cm).
Diseases of the joints active "younger". This is largely due to sedentary lifestyles. On reception to the rheumatologist increasingly, young employees of the IT industry, accountants, managers and other office workers. They spend a lot of time on the computer, without changing the position of the body, which affects the joints.
Proper diet, active lifestyle, adequate physical activity and comfortable shoes is to preserve the health of the joints is not too difficult. If trouble happened, come to the aid of Airtal® cream is a modern drug in the form of a cream for the treatment of pain, inflammation and swelling in joints.

\section{Introduction}
The discovery of non-trivial topological materials like topological insulators (TI), topological superconductors (TSC), topological crystalline insulators (TCI), and topological semimetals (TSM), etc., have drawn enormous attention theoretically as well as experimentally amongst condensed matter and material science community \cite{RevModPhys.82.3045,RevModPhys.83.1057,PhysRevLett.118.236402,agarwala2019higher,PhysRevLett.106.106802,armitage2018weyl,barik2018multiple,wadhwa2019first,PhysRevB.99.205112,PhysRevLett.121.086804,PhysRevLett.121.226401}.\ TIs possess bulk band inversion and time-reversal protected surface states, which distinguish them from the conventional band insulators \cite{RevModPhys.82.3045,RevModPhys.83.1057}.\ These remarkable features of non-trivial topological phases lead to exotic topological phenomena such as Majorana fermions \cite{PhysRevB.95.155420}, quantum magnetoresistance \cite{li2016negative}, chiral anomaly \cite{PhysRevX.5.031023,vazifeh2013electromagnetic}, etc.\ To realize the phenomena and applications of TIs, we need to have a bulk band gap and protected surface states simultaneously.\ But, both of them are interdependent, therefore the attempts of achieving one may destroy the other \cite{zhang2011band,kong2011ambipolar}.\ However, the unique properties of non-trivial topological materials pave a new path to overcome the problems.\ Although bulk band inversion directly ensures the presence of protected surface states, still the specific band structure of the surface state is controlled by the prospective environment near the surface.\ It indicates that engineering a heterostructure of suitable materials with specific bulk and surface properties may provide an additional path to explore for a new non-trivial topological material \cite{PhysRevLett.115.136801,eschbach2015realization,dey2018bulk}.\\

Recently, XMR materials like WTe$_{2}$, TaAs, LaBi, PrBi, etc. \cite{ali2014large,jiang2015signature,PhysRevB.94.041103,neupane2016observation, ghimire2016magnetotransport,PhysRevB.95.115140,yu2017magnetoresistance,wang2018topological,PhysRevB.99.245131}, are found to exhibit non-trivial topological properties.\ Previous reports manifested that in topological semi-metals, surface protection by time-reversal symmetry (TRS) suppresses the electron's backscattering in the absence of magnetic field, while its presence breaks TRS, which leads to XMR effect \cite{jiang2015signature,liang2015ultrahigh}.\ In addition, XMR effect is also explained by perfect (or nearly perfect) electron-hole compensation via semi-classical two band model \cite{PhysRevLett.113.216601,sun2016large,PhysRevB.96.235128,PhysRevB.93.235142}.\ More interestingly, rare-earth monopnictides (LnPn, Ln = rare-earth element and Pn = Bi, Sb, and As) are found to exhibit XMR effect, where some of them like LaAs, LaSb, etc., are topologically trivial, while others like LaBi, CeBi, etc., are non-trivial \cite{PhysRevB.95.115140,PhysRevB.96.235128,PhysRevB.98.220102,duan2018tunable}. It is also observed that heterostructure made up of non-trivial topological materials often leads to non-trivial topological heterostructure, and may not be very surprising.\ It motivated us to investigate for topological properties in heterostructure of topologically trivial and non-trivial XMR materials, and for that we selected LaAs and LaBi.\ Since, the origin of XMR effect in LaAs and LaBi is manifested by perfect electron-hole compensation \cite{sun2016large,PhysRevB.96.235128,PhysRevB.93.235142}, therefore we further calculated the ratio of densities of electrons and holes (\textit{n$_{e}$/n$_{h}$}) of the proposed heterostructure to investigate its possibility to show XMR effect.

\section{Computational details}
DFT as implemented in VASP is used to perform all the electronic structure calculations \cite{PhysRevB.54.11169} with projected augmented wave (PAW) formalism \cite{kresse1999ultrasoft} to include electron-ion interactions.\ Perdew-Burke-Ernzehrof (PBE) functional within Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) and hybrid functionals HSE06 are used to incorporate exchange-correlation interactions \cite{PhysRevLett.77.3865,heyd2003hybrid}.\ For band structure calculations, energy cut-off of 400 eV and a k-mesh of 11$\times$11$\times$7 are used.\ The system is optimized with PBE functionals and relaxed until a minimum force of 0.001 eV.\AA$^{-1}$ is reached for each atom in the unit cell.\ Phonon-dispersion spectrum is calculated using Phonopy package to confirm the dynamical stability of the proposed heterostructure \cite{togo2015first}.\ The optimized crystal structure is used to carry out the calculations of band structure with and without spin-orbit coupling (SOC).\ To confirm the non-trivial topological phase, Z$_{2}$ topological invariant is calculated using Kane and Mele formula  \cite{PhysRevLett.98.106803,PhysRevB.76.045302}.\ Further, maximally-localized Wannier functions (MLWF) are used to construct a tight-binding model using Wannier90 package \cite{RevModPhys.84.1419,mostofi2014updated}, which is used to calculate the Fermi surface for determining the the ratio of \textit{n$_{e}$/n$_{h}$}.\ The surface dispersion spectrum is calculated using Green's function iterative approach as implemented in Wannier tools \cite{PhysRevB.23.4997,sancho1985highly,WU2018405}.

\section{Results and discussions}
To design the heterostructure, we consider alternate stacking of LaAs and LaBi unit cells along [001] direction and formed its 1$\times$1$\times$2 supercell as shown in Figure \ref{fgr:str1}(a).\ The heterostructure is found to exhibit a centrosymmetric tetragonal crystal structure having a space group of 129 (P4/nmm).\ The lattice parameters after optimizing the crystal structure are found to be `\textit{a}' = 4.559 \AA \ and `\textit{c}' = 12.825 \AA.\ In order to confirm the dynamical stability, we performed its phonon dispersion calculations [Figure \ref{fgr:str1}(c)] by constructing 2$\times$2$\times$2 supercell for the equilibrium lattice parameters.\ No imaginary phonon frequency is found in the phononic spectrum, indicating that the system is dynamically stable.\\

  \label{fgr:str1}
\end{figure}

\subsection{\label{sec:level2}Band structure and Z$_{2}$ topological invariant}
To determine the topological properties of the proposed heterostructure, first we have plotted its band structure using PBE functionals with and without including the SOC effect (Figure \ref{fgr:str2}).\ It can be seen that valence band and conduction band overlap with each other in both with and without SOC calculations, and are found to be semi-metallic.\ In addition, band structure plots suggest that near the Fermi level only Bi-\textit{p} orbitals (shown by red triangles) and La-\textit{d} orbitals (shown by green spheres) contribute in the valence band and conduction band, respectively; while the contribution of As-\textit{p} orbitals (shown by blue diamonds) lie well below the Fermi level.\ Moreover, a finite gap of 0.08 eV between valence band maxima and conduction band minima is observed at M point in band structure calculated without SOC.\ However on the inclusion of SOC, a band crossing between valence band and conduction band takes place along $\Gamma$-M direction, dictating to a band inversion between La-\textit{d} and Bi-\textit{p} orbitals.\

\begin{figure}[htb!]
\centering
 \includegraphics{Figure2.eps}
  \caption{(color online) Bulk band structure of LaAs/LaBi heterostructure calculated using PBE functionals (a) without SOC and (b) with SOC.\ Green spheres, red triangles, and blue diamonds show the contribution of La-\textit{d}, Bi-\textit{p}, and As-\textit{p} orbitals, respectively.\ Arrow indicates the point of band crossing.}
  \label{fgr:str2}
\end{figure}

Since GGA underestimates the gap and may overestimate the band inversion, therefore we have plotted the band structure computed using HSE06 functionals with and without SOC as depicted in Figure \ref{fgr:str3}.\ From band structure calculated without SOC [Figure \ref{fgr:str3} (a)], a finite gap of 0.451 eV is observed between valence band maxima and conduction band minima at M point, which is much greater than the one calculated using PBE functionals without SOC.\ Therefore, on the inclusion of SOC, the overlap between valence band and conduction band near M point is much less for HSE06 functionals than the PBE functionals and valence band maxima and conduction band minima near the Fermi level touch each other at M point [Figure \ref{fgr:str3} (b)].\ On close investigation, a small exchange between La-\textit{d} and Bi-\textit{p} orbitals is observed, indicating a band inversion at M point.\ It signifies that LaAs/LaBi heterostructure is topologically non-trivial.\ Since, only La-\textit{d} and Bi-\textit{p} orbitals are participating in band inversion for both PBE and HSE06 band structures with SOC [Figure \ref{fgr:str2} (b), Figure \ref{fgr:str3} (b)], therefore it can be interpreted that LaBi is playing prominent role in the non-trivial topological behaviour of LaAs/LaBi heterostructure.\\

\begin{figure}

 \includegraphics{Figure3.eps}
  \caption{(color online) Bulk band structure of LaAs/LaBi heterostructure calculated using HSE06 functionals (a) without SOC and (b) with SOC.\ Green spheres, red triangles, and blue diamonds show the contribution of La-\textit{d}, Bi-\textit{p}, and As-\textit{p} orbitals, respectively.\ Inset shows the enlarged view of bands near the region indicated by an arrow.}
  \label{fgr:str3}
\end{figure}

Further, the presence of space inversion as well as time-reversal symmetry in the designed heterostructure enables us to calculate the Z$_{2}$ topological invariant as suggested by Kane and Mele \cite{PhysRevLett.98.106803,PhysRevB.76.045302}.\ A non-trivial topological phase in 3D is characterized by four Z$_{2}$ indices, i.e., (${\nu_{0}}$;${\nu_{1}}$${\nu_{2}}$${\nu_{3}}$).\ The value of first Z$_{2}$ index (${\nu_{0}}$) distinguishes the two distinct classes of strong and weak topological phases and can be calculated from the equation
\begin{equation}
(-1)^{\nu_{0}}=\prod_{i}\delta _{i}
\end{equation}

where $\prod_{i}\delta _{i}$ represents the parity product of all the occupied states at all time-reversal invariant momenta (TRIM) points in three-dimensional BZ.\ Table \ref{one} depicts the parity product at all eight TRIM points in the BZ of LaAs/LaBi heterostructure for PBE and HSE06 functionals with SOC.\\

\begin{table}[htb!]
\centering
\caption{Parity product at all TRIM points in the BZ for LaAs/LaBi heterostructure using PBE and HSE06 functionals with spin-orbit coupling.}
\label{one}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\textbf{Functional} & \textbf{TRIM points} & \textbf{$\delta_{m}$} & \textbf{$\nu_{0}$}  \\ \hline
\multirow{6}{*}{PBE+SOC} & 1A & + & \multirow{6}{*}{\textbf{1}} \\ \cline{2-3}
 & 2R & + &  \\ \cline{2-3}
 & 1$\Gamma$ & - &  \\ \cline{2-3}
 & 1M & - &  \\ \cline{2-3}
 & 2X & + &  \\ \cline{2-3}
 & 1Z & - &  \\ \hline
\multirow{6}{*}{HSE06+SOC} & 1A & + & \multirow{6}{*}{\textbf{1}} \\ \cline{2-3}
 & 2R & + &  \\ \cline{2-3}
 & 1$\Gamma$ & - &  \\ \cline{2-3}
 & 1M & - &  \\ \cline{2-3}
 & 2X & + &  \\ \cline{2-3}
 & 1Z & - &  \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

 It is observed that the value of ${\nu_{0}}$ for the heterostructure using PBE as well as HSE06 including SOC turns out to be 1, indicating that the system is topologically non-trivial.\\

It is to be noted that here we considered a heterostructure made up of two layers (N = 2) of LaAs and LaBi.\ However, on increasing the number of layers, we found that heterostructures made up of odd number of layers possess a centrosymmetric tetragonal crystal structure having a space group of 123 (P4/mmm), while heterostructures made up of even number of layers possess a centrosymmetric tetragonal crystal structure with a space group of 129 (P4/nmm).\ Meanwhile, the topological behaviour of their heterostructures for both even and odd layers remains non-trivial.\ The band structures for the heterostructures formed by N = 3 and 4 layers of the corresponding LaAs and LaBi are provided in the Supplementary Material 1.\

\subsection{\label{sec:level2}Surface state spectrum}
To further investigate the non-trivial topological feature, we calculated the surface properties of the heterostructure by projecting its bulk on (001) surface using the slab method \cite{PhysRevB.23.4997,sancho1985highly,PhysRevB.23.4988}.\ Since, bulk band inversion is observed using both PBE and HSE06 functionals with SOC, and protected surface states are directly ensured by the presence of bulk band inversion, therefore we have used computationally less expensive PBE functionals to calculate the surface state spectrum.\ From our DFT calculations, it is found that only La-\textit{d} and Bi-\textit{p} orbitals are participating in the bulk band inversion [Figure \ref{fgr:str2} (b)], therefore we constructed the MLWFs only for La-\textit{d} and Bi-\textit{p} orbitals, and built the effective model Hamiltonian to calculate the surface state spectrum.\ The surface band structure and momentum-resolved projected density of states of a 15-layer slab along [001] direction of LaAs/LaBi heterostructure are plotted in Figure \ref{fgr:str4}.\

\begin{figure}[htb!]
\centering
 \includegraphics[width = 11cm]{Figure4.eps}
  \caption{(color online) (a) Surface band structure and (b) momentum-resolved projected density of states (bottom surface) along [001] direction of LaAs/LaBi heterostructure calculated using PBE functionals with spin-orbit coupling.\ A Dirac point is indicated by an arrow.}
  \label{fgr:str4}
\end{figure}

In the bulk spectrum, a crossing point is observed along $\Gamma$-M direction [Figure \ref{fgr:str2} (b)], while on projecting the bulk bands on (001) surface, a solid Dirac cone is observed at $\bar{M}$ point (Figure \ref{fgr:str4}), indicating that the surface of LaAs/LaBi heterostructure is topologically protected.\

\subsection{\label{sec:level2}Calculation of \textit{n$_{e}$/n$_{h}$} ratio}
In order to determine the \textit{n$_{e}$/n$_{h}$} ratio of the heterostucture, we plotted its Fermi surface using a dense k-grid of 150$\times$150$\times$50 (Figure \ref{fgr:str5}).\ From the band structure plot calculated using PBE functionals with SOC [Figure \ref{fgr:str2} (b)], we found that two of the valence bands cross the Fermi level at $\Gamma$ point, thereby leading to the two hole pockets at $\Gamma$ point.\ Similarly, at M point two of the conduction bands cross the Fermi level, therefore forming two electron pockets at M point (Figure \ref{fgr:str5}).\ The value of electron and hole densities calculated by finding the volume of their corresponding pockets are 2.598 $\times$ 10$^{20}$ cm$^{-3}$ and 2.40 $\times$ 10$^{20}$ cm$^{-3}$, respectively, and their ratio (\textit{n$_{e}$/n$_{h}$}) turns out to be 1.082.\ Further, it is also observed that broadening of the k-mesh for the construction of MLWFs leads to more accurate $n_{e}/n_{h}$ values, but requires a huge computational cost (details are provided in Supplementary Material 2).\\

\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
 \includegraphics{Figure5.eps}
  \caption{(color online) Fermi surface of LaAs/LaBi heterostructure.\ (a) and (b) represent the hole pockets at $\Gamma$ point, while (c) and (d) represent the electron pockets at M point.}
  \label{fgr:str5}
\end{figure}

Since LaAs and LaBi show XMR effect with perfect electron-hole compensation \cite{sun2016large,PhysRevB.96.235128,PhysRevB.93.235142}, and their heterostructure is also showing nearly perfect electron-hole compensation, therefore LaAs/LaBi heterostructure is also a possible candidate for XMR studies.\\

\section{Summary}
It is summarized that LaAs/LaBi heterostructure is topologically non-trivial with a surface Dirac cone along [001] direction.\ In addition, its electron and hole pockets are also found to be nearly compensated, facilitating it to be a promising candidate for exhibiting XMR effect.\ Therefore, the study provides an ideal candidate for a new topological heterostructure with XMR effect, which may have promising applications in realizing novel topological devices.

Designed and built in 1/24th scale for a customer who has fond memories of time spent at this cottage in her youth. Rose Castle Cottage was formerly owned by Beatrix Potter and is now a National Trust self-catering cottage.
In common with all our cottages, Rose Castle was designed to have removable walls and floors as well as hidden wiring. The pictures below show the model alongside some views of the actual cottage.
Rose Castle Cottage
Down House
Down House was the home of Charles Darwin. This 1/48th scale model was commissioned by a geological museum in Kent to provide a centre piece for their forthcoming display on Darwin.
The model was built as the house appeared while Darwin was in residence in the late 1870s.
This 1/24th scale fantasy house was designed and built by us for a client from The Netherlands. The requirement was for a 'Tudor-style' look with Brambley Hedge elements that would be suitable for a family of mice. Apart from this, we were allowed to give our imaginations free reign!
We also provided several items of custom-made furniture for this house.
The rear of the house. Wiring for lights and fires are hidden behind the removable chimney stack.
We came up with the idea of a house built into a shattered oak tree to give it a rustic feel.
Is that an 'M' for Mouse in the timber frame?
The old tree was a handy place to hang a swing for the mice.
The interior showing how the oak tree reaches into the house and provides a half landing and stairs on the way up to the first floor
Just another quirky little detail - note how the doors mimic mouse ears!

The most notable difference between now and Darwin's time is the amount of plant growth up the trellis work.
- The Verandah -
The tiles of Darwin's verandah were copied and reproduced in the model.
Having lived with this project for the past few months, I now feel as though I know Down House intimately. I can, for example, tell those with an interest is such matters that there are a total of 62 windows, 6 doors, and 7 chimneys topped by 24 chimney pots.
Harbourmaster's House
This large and elaborate house is inspired by the Harbourmaster's house in Aberaeron, Wales. It was built in 20th scale for a lay out being built by a rail enthusiast.
Today, the harbourmaster's is a hotel. It was decided to paint it in its earlier colour scheme rather than the present eye-catching blue.

The upper floor is built into the loft space and comprises an intricate collection of small rooms all with sloping ceilings
Cedarwood is a white featherboard construction with distinctive black woodwork.
One special feature is the lantern roof rising up between the front and rear dormers.
White Hill Cottage
White Hill Cottage is on the south coast near Bexhill-on-Sea. Built in the 1920s it is bungalow with an upstairs floor built into the roof space. The mock black timbering was put in place by the original owner.
The commission was undertaken at the request of the owner as a wedding anniversary present for his wife. The model is in 24th scale and lights were provided in the downstairs rooms.

Built in 24th scale, this was a big house to build. There are a total of 13 rooms from front to back. The challenge was to make all the rooms accessible.
Access was achieved by building an inner frame that enabled the front and both side walls to be removed. In a departure from the norm, it was decided to leave the roof fixed in place to support the framework below.

Built for a client who enjoys holidays at this home of her husband's cousin near New York. The house was completed in 1829 by W. Cleveland, a local physician. The house is noted for still possessing its original handmade door locks, hinges and nails. It is three storeys, brick-built, has a tarred iron roof and wide floorboards built from local timbers. Hot air shafts run up through the house from the basement where there was originally a coal-fired boiler, now replaced by gas. Apparently, the cat loves sleeping over the hot air vents.

Wildwood is the client's former home in Canada. The project was greatly assisted by the client's husband being able to provide accurate drawings of the house.
In many ways, a similar build to the abovementioned Cedarwood, this house was also a single storey building with upper rooms built into the loft. The same design approach was followed in the case of both buildings, namely, a lift off roof and upper floor to access the interior but with all walls fixed.

Mozart's House, Vienna
Built for a client with an interest in Mozart. This 1:24 scale model is based upon the house in Vienna where Mozart had an apartment. It is sometimes known as 'The Figaro House' because it was here that he composed his opera 'The Marriage of Figaro'.
Schulerstrasse frontage with balcony at 1st floor level
Dom Gasse facade
The house is actually a block of apartments with frontages onto two streets. The one frontage is considerably wider than the other but for aesthetic reasons it was decided to maintain the same width at front and back in the model. The original wooden carriageway doors were also included in the model.
The streets are so cramped around the building that comprehensive photos are very hard to achieve
The Figaro House in the late 18th century
As can be seen the actual house is five storeys, but it was decided to limit the model to three levels with the option of adding the remaining two at a later date.
One of the most prominent features within the real building is the large open vestibule alongside the stairway.

Q: Asp.net mvc5 same action POST and GET in the same method Can i send to the action method new record and then get the new id by the same method
public class HomeController : Controller
{
    [HttpGet]
    [HttpPost]
    public JsonResult _sendConfirmation'(string subject,string mail)
    {
        Some Code--Some Code---Some Code
        return Json(new { Success = true, id = newCreatedMailId });
    }
}

Getting the id by jquery

            $.getJSON('/Mails/_sendConfirmation', function (comingData) {

                alert("success" + data);
                jQuery.get('/Mails/_getNewMailSendConfirmation', { id: comingData }, function (data) {

                    jQuery('#myModal').modal('show');

                    jQuery('#myModal .modal-body').html(data);
                });

enter code here

A: So your Ajax request is looking for an action named _sendConfirmation on your Mails controller and not finding it but you've chose. To just show us your home controller index action so we have no idea if the appropriate controller exists or not with that.
As far as having it decorated with a get and a post, when you do this you are essentially telling the action to look for data on the request in two different places which will most likely not end well for you unless you plan on doing that switch logic yourself inside the action. Your code would probably be a bit less error prone if you seperated the action and once extracted the data, you call the same helper methods to work your data.

Civil War Swords
THOMAS GRISWOLD OFFICER'S SABER
Henry Thomas and Arthur Breese Griswold of New Orleans were arguably the finest CS sword makers of the war. When the city was lost to the union in 1862 production of these unique, high quality swords ceased forever. This Thomas Griswold & Co. New Orleans marked Cavalry Officers Saber was in the collection of Jamie Deason of El Dorado, AK for 10 years prior to my purchase. It came out of a gun shop within 60 miles of Jackson Mississippi. Jamie was told that the sword was polished and cleaned from time to time and If you look closely you can see polishing residue in the voids and crevasses of the scabbard and saber hilt. The saber shows signs of being carried, but not abused. The top ring mount has the most wear, there are a few very light dings on the scabbard. I like the couple of small dings that were the result of being caught in the door when the officer carrying it did not move out of the doorway quick enough. The blade has the initialed Marking of "T.G. & Co over N.O". for Thomas Griswold and Company, New Orleans, It has a nice patina. At one time it was sharpened and has a fine edge. The matching patina would indicate the sharpening was period to its use. The hilt shows very little wear as does the grip wrap. The leather is in very nice condition with only a few spots worn through. This saber has the smaller twisted wire wrapped on the grip and is complete and original. The top of the pommel has a nice undisturbed patina on the iron peen and surrounding brass clearly indicating this saber has never been disassembled since it was originally produced. This is the cavalry officer version with the 35.25 inch blade. The blade is well made with a semi-stopped fuller. It has gray patina with a smooth attractive look on both sides. The guard and pommel cap are typical Confederate style manufacture. The officer guard branches, quillon and top of knuckle bow have cast floral patterns as well as pommel decoration. The guard has the crude splice of the two piece construction which is characteristic of a New Orleans product and the pommel cap also has the seam showing a two piece pommel cap which is also a New Orleans characteristic. Thomas Griswold is best known for their solid brass scabbards. There are initials carved in the scabbard. This sword was envied by officers both North and South during the Civil War. There are several known examples inscribed to Confederate Generals and one captured and carried by Union General Brigade Commander Marcellus Crocker.

CS ARTILLERY SWORD
Confederate 'Dog River' Enlisted Artillery Saber With Black Japanned Scabbard. The 32" blade is excellent with unstopped fuller that runs open to the hilt and to within 8 1/2" of the tip. Bright and clean with no rust or pitting and just some minor small 'spider web' like stains scattered about. Retains the original leather washer. Classic hilt form emulating the US M1840 but with obviously cruder finish. Perfect with untouched patina. The pommel cap displays a noticeably higher copper content than the guard. The wood grip channeled to accept 13 turns of single strand iron wire. Retains about 60% of the original black oilcloth wrap with the reverse side of the grip missing just a few chips, most of the loss being visible on the obverse side. Sheet iron scabbard with prominent lap seam along the back edge retains 80% of what appears to be the original black Japanned finish. Heavy brass ring mounts with median ridges, iron rings and drag, which shows obvious honest wear. Absolutely no rust or pitting but two minor dents near the top of the scabbard on the obverse. There is a recess in the guard for the scabbard like the US Army Type 1 saber it copies. The saber retains an oriiginal washer that fits snuggly into the recess. I don't know the reason the washer was installed ( to stop the rattle? to make for a quicker "draw") but I have seen a few examples of this saber with the washer in the "recessed" CS sabers. The scabbard is fabricated without a throat which of course allows the proper fit to the saber. As fine an example of this rare form of "Dog River" saber one could hope to obtain. CS artillery sabers are rare. No known reason for this but the fact remains, according to William Albaugh, that three or four officer's swords show up for each artillery saber. There is some speculation as to the manufacturer of this saber but most contribute this model to Boyle & Gamble and given the classic "flaw" under the guard as well as the exceptionally heavy brass mounts on the scabbard I do believe this to be a Boyle and Gamble.This saber is from the Steve Hess Collection.

U.S. EMERSON & SILVER LIGHT CAVALRY SABER
This is the model 1860 cavalry saber referred to by collectors as the light cavalry because of the lighter weight and more streamlined design compared to the earlier model 1840 cavalry saber. A very desirable "1863" date saber manufactured by the Emerson & Silver company of Trenton NJ. This is one of the New Jersey Contracts by state and not a Federal contract sword. The highlight of this saber is the fine leather grip and original wire wrap.The brass has an attractive light patina. The pommel is marked with inspector's initials "DFM" which matches the ricasso. This would be the initials for Dexter F, Mossman who inspected for the government from 1862 until 1864.. The blade has no nicks and is just starting to turn gray. The guard has a nice aged patina and is bent forward to provide thumb pressure indicating actual field use, The ricasso is stamped "US"/ DFM/ 1863" and a well worn "Emerson/ &/Silver/ Trenton/ NJ" and has the original leather washer. The steel scabbard has a smooth uncleaned brown patina with dings from service and a couple of anti-rattle punches. A nice mid-war dated saber.

M1840 AMES ARTILLERY SABER FROM SEVEN PINES BATTLEFIELD
What makes this sword very special is the old handwritten tag attached to the scabbard between the mounts which reads "Artillery sword found after battle from Seven Pines, Va" (Also known as the Battle of Fair Oaks).
"This two day fight was part of the Peninsula Campaign. On May 31, 1862 Gen. Joseph E. Johnston attempted to overwhelm two Federal corps that appeared isolated south of the Chickahominy River. The Confederate assaults, though not well coordinated, succeeded in driving back the IV Corps and inflicting heavy casualties. Reinforcements arrived, and both sides fed more and more troops into the action. Supported by the III Corps and Sedgwick's division of Sumner's II Corps (that crossed the rain-swollen river on Grapevine Bridge), the Federal position was finally stabilized. Gen. Johnston was seriously wounded during the action, and command of the Confederate army devolved temporarily to Maj. Gen. G.W. Smith. On June 1, the Confederates renewed their assaults against the Federals who had brought up more reinforcements but made little headway. Both sides claimed victory. Confederate brigadier Robert H. Hatton was killed."
This pattern 1840 is called the second variation or referenced to as Type 2 and was made from 1860 to 1865. It has a flush guard on the blade side without a recess and its corresponding scabbard has a throat mount. The blade washer was flush with the guard and the pommel cap was a dome, making the blade tang more secure to the hilt. This sword was manufactured in 1862, one of 839 delivered that year. Ames marking is visible but light. The "US, G.G.S. 1862" markings are strong. The Blade has a gray patina, with very light areas of pitting. Scabbard has a dark olive patina. Nice patina to the brass hilt. The leather grip intact with 1 1/2" long split in wood and leather. Wire wrap is missing. A nice early battlefield relic in untouched condition.

CONFEDERATE DOG RIVER SWORD
This is a classic Confederate "Dog River" Cavalry saber. It has many characteristics of a Haiman manufactured product. Louis and Elijah Haiman of Columbus, Georgia was a major Confederate supplier. I purchased this blade from Lawrence Christopher of Dalton, Ga. It was recovered in 2004 out of North Georgia. The blade has the classic unstopped fuller a dark grey patina and is stained and pitted from poor storage. The tip of the blade appears to have been reground at some point. The "peen" is untouched. The wear on the wrap is heaviest were the pressure from the hand would have been the greatest. Further graphic evidence of heavy use. It has the Haiman traits including the distinctive curved grip which slims at the handle end and retains its heavy wire wrap and remnants of the painted oil cloth wrap. This grip bend is more pronounced due to the wood core on the underside being worn through to the tang. The guard has the distinctive Confederate casting flaws. The scabbard has the iron throat and drag peculiar to Haiman and the wide brass rings. This weapon has lots of service dents from heavy use. The scabbard is the classic Confederate construction but unlike a typical Haiman this appears to be the style that is made of a single sheet of iron folded over and brazed rather than having the lapsed seam - both finishing being distinctly Confederate. The ring mounts, of course are brass but unlike most Haiman products which have iron rings these have the brass rings. As with all Haiman scabbards the drag is iron.The brass guard color is distinctly "Confederate" and can best be shown by holding the brass of a truly Confederate sword up to the brass of a U.S, sword. The high copper/low zinc content in the brass is a very distinctive red hue. The obvious difference in coloring on the underside of the guard relative to the rest of the brass shows clearly the sword was stored in the scabbard many, many years - the patina aged and changed everywhere on the handle except the part that was protected where the scabbard throat rested against the bottom of the handle. This was "rode hard and put away wet" and I like the rebel feel that all the "new to the market, barely used" specimens you see today don't have. This one "saw the elephant and was somehow brought back to Georgia by a returning rebel who stood it up in a corner somewhere not thinking of the historic significance.
(If this is not a Haiman manufactured sword it certainly is a classic so-called Dog River cavalry saber. According to the late CS sword scholar William Albaugh, he read a Confederate soldier's letter once which mentioned that the soldier was camped near the Dog River factory. Albaugh could never find reference to that factory, so he assigned the mystery name to any rebel sword that he could not firmly attribute to a specific maker.)
(Reference; "Confederate Edged Weapons" by William A. Albaugh III, page 115; "Historical American Swords" by howard R. Crouch, page113; "Swords of the American Civil War" by Richard H. Bezdeck, page 241; " Confederate Arms" by William A. Albaugh lll and Edward N. Simmons, page 115-116; "A Photographic Supplement of Confederate Swords" by William A. Albaugh III, page 192)
U.S. MODEL 1840 "OLD WRISTBREAKER" HEAVY CAVALRY SABER
The model 1840 saber, called the "wrist breaker", was a heavy cavalry saber, and was manufactured before the Civil War. Standard features include a relatively straight wooden handle covered with leather and a wire grip. The brass hilt has three branches. Brass pommel cap and guard are unadorned, the steel blade has a flat back with a narrow and a wide fuller stopped at the ricasso. The iron scabbard has the iron mountings and its throat is secured by two screws. This saber is of European origin. The Model 1840 heavy cavalry saber and scabbard was referred to by the soldiers who had to cart them around as "old wrist breakers'. The model 1840's were extensively carried by both North and South cavalry. Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest carried a model 1840 as did many in his command. The blade is bright and clean and just beginning to grey with age.The grip is original and shows wear due to service. The brass guard has a thick brown never cleaned patina. The iron scabbard is in nice condition and has a thick aged uncleaned patina as well. This one is out of an estate in Murfreesboro, TN. and was most likely Confederate carried.This saber has seen so much action that one thick iron mount is worn half way through:

U.S. AMES MODEL 1860 CAVALRY SABER MANUFACTURED IN 1859
Here is a pre-Civil War Ames saber specimen and forerunner of the type issued to Federal horsemen during the War. Produced by the Chicopee, Massachusetts firm of Ames Sword Company, this weapon is the Model 1860 Light Cavalry saber that was initially called the 'new pattern' 1860 saber. This example was one of five thousand such 'new pattern' Model 1860 sabers that Ames delivered under its 1859 contract to the Ordnance Dept from 1859 through early 1861. Interestingly, by order of then U.S. Secretary of War John B. Floyd, 1,200 sabers of this 5,000 unit batch of 1859 contract sabers were sent south to Virginia just prior to the war. Considered a more maneuverable, more durable and more finely made weapon than its predecessor, the model 1840 Wrist breaker, the light cavalry saber weighed 3 lbs, 7 oz. in the scabbard. This example has the "US/ G.G.S/ 1859" stamped on the ricasso and the reverse is stamped "Ames Mfg Co / Chicopee Mass". The G.G.S. are the initials of the U.S. inspector G.G. Saunders. Although its correct contemporary description of this saber is the model 1860, many were produced in 1858 and 1859 as was this one.The blade shows considerable dings which could be war damage or may have been used after the war to chop corn. Verbal history on this is that it came out of a barn in Sharpsburg which is near the Antietam battlefield. It was picked up at an estate auction and the best estimate was that it was an early pickup by the farmer living in proximity to the battlefield. Regardless,in the early days of the war both North and South were desperate for weapons and this relic no doubt saw early and prolonged action.

ORIGINAL U.S. MODEL 1860 CAVALRY SABER SCABBARD
Original Civil War scabbard for the model 1860 saber. This one has the throat intact as well as the two mounts and rings. It is 34 inches in length and is missing the drag and a couple of inches off of the bottom. The scabbard had a surface coat of rust and was coated with what appears to be varnish many years ago. This was purchased in the Shiloh area and obviously someone took the time to preserve it so it may well be a battlefield pick-up but the history of this relic has been lost to time.

Bezdek , page 149; Arms and Equipment of the Union" by Time-Life Books, page 78;'Warman's Civil War Weapons" by Graham Smith, page 242 ).
CONFEDERATE ARMORY SWORD
The dealer bought this saber directly from the decedents of Erastus C. Anderson who was a Confederate private and served in C Co. TN 9th Battalion Cavalry. According to the dealer this sword is a product of The Confederate States Armory You can tell from the pictures this has all the traits that you look for in Confederate manufactured swords including redish brass, scabbard with lapsed seam, blade with unstopped fuller, and typical faults in the manufacturing process.The scabbard has lots of dings consistent with heavy use and the brass has great patina.I sold this saber because the grip is a re-wrap.

Ukrainian model, actress, musician, and fashion designer.
My private life has been the subject of much jabbering. Perhaps this slightly scandalous side of me people find entertaining! Before, being a model, it was just a job, and I was making fun of it. But today, I take my career more seriously. The fact that a reader may buy an Armani item because she'd seen it on me in a magazine is very important to me. So much so that I intend to launch my own label.
Action films are definitely a lot of training and I do a lot of my own stunts, so I definitely am in there for the long haul for the training process. But I love it. Martial arts is something I've always loved doing. It's the only form of exercise that I can deal with. Everything else is really boring and mind-numbing. So for me it's just really fun. I love to sort of feel like a superhero in that sense, to be able to fly through the air and to be on wires. It just makes me feel like I'm in Magic Mountain or something. I love it.
I remember, when we were still living in the Soviet Union, Mum would rush by like the wind in our apartment, covered with fur, or even running from one movie scene to the next, because she was a movie star there. Even if it was 40?F outside, she always wore a miniskirt. For me, she was the most beautiful of all women.
Music for me is something I prefer to keep away form the whole business part of my life. I feel like everything I do, in a way, has some sort of business around it. So with my music I can have my privacy. If people don't have to pay for it then I think they can be a little more open to new ideas.
I was still a kid when I gave up modeling and moved to London to devote myself to music. At the time, I had a band. Two years later, broke, I was forced to return to New York to go back to modeling and earn my living. But, when I'd call my agent, she replied to me: "You are now an old-fashioned model, you have a 'has-been' look." In fact, I could not even manage to get castings. Can you imagine what it's like when you're told that you're over at the age of 18?
I love infomercials. I've always thought that I could do a really good infomercial because I have a lot of great ideas with things. I just never actually have the time to patent them, like everybody else with great ideas. One person takes the time to do it and the rest of us to keep talking about it.
I had a really great time doing it. I haven't seen the whole movie together with all the special effects, but even without the special effects I was like, "This is rad!" I loved it. I just was with the characters more. I don't know, somehow I connected with the story better.

Cedar Falls sends two wrestlers to State
By Ben Louviere on February 18, 2016
By: Ben Louviere
One of the greatest wrestlers of all time, Dan Gable, once said, "Gold medals aren't really made of gold. They're made of sweat, determination and a hard-to-find alloy called guts." Cedar Falls senior Jacob Watters (126 lbs) and junior Bryce Pilcher (170 lbs) have adhered to the grind and have fought long and hard to find this alloy — one which is now taking them to Wells Fargo Arena this weekend for the state championship wrestling meet.
After the Hi-Line deadline, Watters and Pilcher will have wrestled Thursday at 1:30 p.m. If these matches were won, the following match for either wrestler will be held today at 9 a.m. Winning here would send them to the semifinal match. *Fun fact: Jacob Watters' first match will have been against Jake Watters from Dowling Catholic.
Of the two wrestlers that Cedar Falls will send to State, both were motivated toward a tireless pursuit of victory this year after injuries prevented them from participating in much of last year's season. "I missed the majority of the season last year due to injury, so the opportunity this year means a lot to me," Watters said.
This season challenged many of the wrestlers to step out of their comfort zones. "Our team had a lot of guys that were asked to fill in some spots where they weren't really comfortable — some were up a weight [class], and we had freshmen filling in on the varsity squad. I think they worked hard in positions where they wouldn't have normally been," said Pilcher.
Watters also reflected positively on the growth and perseverance of the young team this season. "We performed well for how young we are. We had a great group of guys who pushed each other to be the best they could, and we had fun doing it," he said.
For Watters, Pilcher and wrestlers across the state of Iowa, wrestling at Wells Fargo is a dream. The chance to prove yourself in the greatest wrestling state in the Midwest is something that takes a little bit of crazy and, more importantly, a whole lot of guts. "I've always wanted to wrestle [at Wells Fargo], since I was a little kid. I think the first time I went I was 6 or 7 years old, and that's where I've wanted to wrestle ever since. I just want to make sure I make the most of my opportunity there, and I'm ready for some great competition," Pilcher said.
What makes the battle at state even more important to both wrestlers is the chance to stand up for Cedar Falls on the mat. "I'm looking forward to representing CF at State because it's an opportunity to show the hard work and attitude of our program that all of our guys put in," Watters said.
"A lot of people don't know it here, but our head wrestling coach, Wil Kelly, is very respected throughout the state. Coming from Cedar Falls, wrestling under him and Brad Penrith, who coached at the college level for a long time — we have two of the best coaches in the state, so it's a big deal to represent them and our school. I'm very excited," Pilcher said.
Dan Gable also once said, "There's always ways of motivating yourself to higher levels. Write about it, dream about it. But after that, turn it into action. Don't just dream." For Cedar Falls wrestlers, the dreams have become reality, and in front of them is the final action on the mat.

The "Creative Writing" page no longer exists. Separate pages have been developed instead.
All of my current poetry is listed on the "Poetry" page.
My short stories and other short fiction pieces are on the "Short Stories" page.
Both of my novels have their own pages, and the chapters are posted there one by one as I write or rewrite them. When revisions are made to those chapters, I'll make a separate post so my readers stay current.
I'm getting used to change, even though I still have some issues with it. But then, I suppose we all do. I'm also toying with the idea of a domain change, but that will come when my current one expires, which isn't for another year. I may find a new look for ANP, as well. We shall see what interesting things come up.
