Some Quilted Jackets by Barbour
Photos by Salt Water New England
The Barbour Countryman
The Barbour Countryman Shown with Lotuff Zipper Satchel #9 in Chocolate
When this jacket was bought at Maine's Bridgham & Cook around 1990, it was called the Countryman and was still made in England.
It was a bitter winter day on the Avenue Montaigne as Jean-Christophe Gramont walked to Dupont, the luxury product and fashion store where he works, clad in a blue quilted undercoat.
The coat was neither Burberry nor Hermès. It was a Barbour Countryman Coat, designed as a lining for a waterproof coat made by J. Barbour & Sons for hunting foxes and shooting pheasants under the foulest English weather.
- Selling Tradition Worn Inside Out, New York Times, 1995 <http://www.nytimes.com/1995/02/21/business/worldbusiness/21iht-barbour.html>
Made in England - The third Royal Warrant was added in 1987.
The Countryman was renamed the Liddesdale in the early 1990s. But by the time this Liddesdale in Navy was purchased from New York City's Barbour store around 2004, it was no longer made in England and had been somewhat redesigned.
The specifics of the place of origin may be less informative than the fact the company makes it so hard to find.
Original Countryman Cuff and Thicker Insulation on the Bottom, Newer Liddesdale Cuff and Thinner Insulation on the Top
Now, Liddesdales can be bought for a song, but they are not the equivalent of the original Countryman.
Other Quilts
The Barbour Eskdale Jacket for Ladies has a trimmer, more flattering fit but is much less comfortable, more restricted in the shoulders and arms, and outsourced.
This Barbour Keeperwear Quilt, Men's (bought in New York's Orvis store) has a bulkier cut, is very comfortable, allowing for movement, with knit cuffs that keep out drafts, but it is outsourced.

Thank you for the tutorial on Barbour quilted jackets, Muffy. It caused me to check out my own. I have a classic Eskdale from the early 2000s, made in England, dark brownish green with traditional tartan lining and styled more like your navy Liddesdale, square shape with back side snap vents - it was purchased from a supplier in England. I would like to buy a larger size to fit over heavier sweaters and I don't know where to begin to find the same styling since I like it so much - light weight, fairly warm and easy to throw on. I also have a Burberry jacket from around the same era that is surprisingly made in the USA.
Yes, thank you for this information. Any suggestions on how/where to purchase the originals? Anyone?
I have a quilted paddock jacket from Cordings that is made in the UK, warm and comfortable, and does not have the rubbing sound of nylon when worn (the outer layer is a green tweed, and the lining is a cotton or cotton blend tattersall. I don't believe that the tweed is available anymore, but a version in loden wool is available here: https://www.cordings.co.uk/green-loden-paddock-jacket.html

I have a Liddesdale that I bought years ago from Sierra Trading Post. They used to be a good source for low priced (cheap) Barbour. There is no country of origin on any of the tags, but my guess is that it was made in Eastern European. It has that annoying 'Barbour' logo in bright yellow on the left pocket.
Orvis currently has them on sale with the standard 'Imported' tag.

Some may say not quite as stylish but there is always the Filson alternative:

Women's clothing/coats quilted and waxed also
https://www.stewardsons.co.uk/collections/quilted-jackets
Lavenham and Mackintosh/Traditional Rainwear are two names worth considering. Both made in England and certainly on level with Barbour.
Muffy, can you talk about the temperature range for the various Barbour coats you're familiar with? Thanks.
Are the Liddesdale primarily for women?
Colonel Steve Gulyas a retired American aviator invented this type of coat after settling in Tostock England. He named the cost the ''Husky'' after the bread of dog he used to take on country walks. The brand was subsequently bought and is marketed by the Italian entrepreneur Saverio Moschillo. An internet search for ''Husky of Tostock'' will enable one to see images of the original coat

The cold season brings frequent cold-related ill health due to feet hypothermia. Today, this problem can be solved with such technical solution as heated insoles. All you need to do is to slot them inside shoes instead of regular insoles and enjoy a warm during all-time in the open air. This know-how is used for a long time in ski sports. The insoles are slotted inside ski boots and the rider enjoys a comfortable leisure. As for townsfolk, they had only recently taken into attention this convenient device that allows forgetting about cold feet, colds, and various chronic diseases.
This is a relatively new development that can heat the insole's surface up to +45ºC. It is noteworthy that funds for its serial production were collected through the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. More precisely, these types of heated insoles have already been made, but developers made a decision to cover more market area thanks to additional investments via Kickstarter.
They are splash proof, ensuring reliable work in all weather conditions.
+Winter kit consists of two insoles and one charger and costs $97. However, this kit requires charging one insole after another only. So, a kit with two insoles and two charging devices is also available for $117.
In fact, its price is currently very high. Besides, other manufacturers move forwardalso, and produce insoles with similar technologies, which are much cheaper more than one year. Below we are going toexamine a few examples.
Insoles called Heat Generator are devicesthat allow heating the feet in the inability of using batteries or a battery pack for longer hiking, camping, fishing, etc.
Two sizes – 22cm for shoes from 33 to 38 size, and 25cm for size 39-45.
The price of the chemical shoe heater varies depending on the number of acquired pairs. If you buy 5-9 pairs it cost $3,17, 10-19 pairs will be sold for $2,25; 20-95 pairs cost $1,58 per pair. The insoles are designed for one-time use exclusively.
Therm-ic Perform is a battery heater for foot beds, which has become an integral part of the ammunition ofwell-known skiing and snowboarding boot manufacturers, such as Atomic, Salomon, and Burton. To start heating the shoe insoles through Therm-ic Perform, it's enough to slot them instead of conventional insoles and connected via a special cord to the battery.
The system allows you to provide ongoing temperature support in the domestic climatic conditions from – 25°C during the whole day of skiing. You may mount the power supply unit either on the outer part of the shaft or on the belt. The only thing that restricts the position is the supply cord length.
Therm-ic Perform insoles price is $22,5 dollars per pair.
SIDAS are battery-powered insoles from the famous French manufacturer, who focused on sportsman-wearer comfort. This model with an electric heater is developed in the Podiatech Medical Research Center using orthopedic constructions and elements, providing the correct foot placement and efficient athlete's musculoskeletal system functioning during training or competition. As soon as the SIDA Sinsoles thickness does not exceed the thickness of conventional shoe accessory, they can be easily used to produce heat with casual shoes. Moreover, the cost of the insoles is only $36,67 a pair.
Thanks to the heated insoles people will not have difficulty in the cold season. While we do not to wary about any disasters and the negative consequences, as soon as the power of the electrical heater is absolutely safe for human life. As for chemical models, they do not have any harmful effects. So, slot them inside the shoes and forget about freezing feet at all temperatures and in all situations.
The new business idea is to sell the product.

Die Niedersächsische Landesforsten (NLF) sind ein öffentliches Unternehmen, das den niedersächsischen Landeswald bewirtschaftet. Der Sitz der Anstalt befindet sich in Braunschweig. Unter Niedersächsische Landesforsten firmiert die Gesamtheit des Unternehmens mit Betriebsleitung, Servicestellen und Forstämtern.

Bewirtschaftung

Niedersachsen hat bei einer Fläche von rund 4,8 Millionen Hektar Waldbestände auf etwa 1,20 Millionen Hektar. Die Niedersächsischen Landesforsten bewirtschaften mit 335.000 Hektar fast ein Drittel des Waldes in Niedersachsen. Vom übrigen Wald gehören 55.000 Hektar dem Bund, 107.000 Hektar sind Körperschaftswald sowie 707.000 Hektar Privat- und Genossenschaftswald. Die Niedersächsischen Landesforsten betreuen ferner ca. 77.000 Hektar überwiegend Genossenschaftswälder nach §16 NWaldLG.

Die Wälder werden nach dem Programm zur "Langfristigen ökologischen Waldentwicklung" (LÖWE) bewirtschaftet, das 1991 beschlossen wurde. Vor dem Hintergrund größerer Schäden am Wald in den Jahren 1972 durch den Orkan Quimburga, 1976 durch den Capella-Orkan, sowie durch Brände in der Lüneburger Heide im Jahr 1975 und die Waldsterbensdiskussion der 1980er Jahre, verpflichten sich die NLF darin zur naturnahen Bewirtschaftung des Waldes. Zentrales Ziel des LÖWE-Programms ist die Entwicklung stabiler, gesunder und leistungsfähiger Mischbestände.

2017 machten die Landesforsten einen Gewinn von rund 5,6 Millionen Euro. 2018 betrug das Defizit 5,9 Millionen Euro. Erstmals seit 10 Jahren führten die Landesforsten in dem Jahr keinen Gewinn an das Land ab. Ursachen des Defizits waren extreme Wetterereignisse, wie das Orkantief Friederike und das dadurch bedingte Überangebot an Holz, das den Preis drückte. 2019 steigerte sich der Verlust 27 Millionen Euro. Laut den Landesforsten befinden sich die Wälder seit 2019 im Klimastress, bei dem Stürme, Trockenheit und Borkenkäferbefall große Schäden hinterlassen haben.

Geschichte

Die Gründung des Landes Niedersachsen durch Verordnung der britischen Militärregierung vom 1. November 1946 aus den Ländern Hannover, Braunschweig, Oldenburg und Schaumburg-Lippe erforderte eine einheitliche Forstverwaltung. Diese entstand am 1. April 1949 durch Gründung einer Forstabteilung beim Niedersächsischen Landwirtschaftsministerium. Sie hatte ihren Sitz zunächst im Landesforstamt Sarstedt und wurde am 1. Oktober 1949 in das Ministerium in Hannover verlagert. 1950 entstanden bei den Regierungs- und Verwaltungspräsidenten in Hannover, Hildesheim, Lüneburg, Osnabrück, Stade, Braunschweig und Oldenburg forstliche Mittelbehörden der Niedersächsischen Landesforstverwaltung. 1955 gab es 112 Forstämter in Niedersachsen, die sich 1997 auf 45 reduzierten, als die forstlichen Mittelbehörden abgeschafft wurden. Mit der Auflösung der niedersächsischen Bezirksregierungen zum 31. Dezember 2004 wurde die Niedersächsische Landesforstverwaltung in die Anstalt Niedersächsische Landesforsten als Anstalt öffentlichen Rechts überführt, der 26 Forstämter verblieben. Die Zahl der Beschäftigten hat sich von 1960 mit 9.200 Personen auf 1.300 Personen im Jahre 2018 verringert.

Die Niedersächsischen Landesforsten wurde durch Landesgesetz vom 16. Dezember 2004 in der Rechtsform der Anstalt öffentlichen Rechts gegründet. Sie entstand durch die Ausgliederung folgender Dienststellen aus der unmittelbaren Landesverwaltung:
 Niedersächsisches Forstplanungsamt
 Niedersächsisches Forstliches Bildungszentrum
 Niedersächsische Forstämter

Aufgaben

Die Aufgaben entsprechen im Wesentlichen denen anderer deutscher Landesforstverwaltungen. Sie sind in § 3 des Errichtungsgesetzes abstrakt wie folgt definiert:
 Bewirtschaftung des Landeswaldes als staatliche Aufgabe
 Die Landesregierung kann ihr weitere damit im Zusammenhang stehende Aufgaben übertragen, z. B. Information der Öffentlichkeit
 Geschäfte jeglicher Art auf dem Gebiet des Forst- und Jagdwesens (unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen)
 Unterstützung und Beratung des Landes in Fragen des Forst- und Jagdwesens
Als größter außerschulischer Lernstandort unterhalten die NLF zehn Waldpädagogikzentren und sieben Walderlebniseinrichtungen, wie z. B. das WildparkHaus im Wildpark Neuhaus (Solling).

Organisation
Die NLF ist eine rechtsfähige Anstalt des öffentlichen Rechts. Auf Grund des Errichtungsgesetzes wurde ihr das Eigentum an den von der Landesforstverwaltung verwalteten Grundstücken mit Zubehör unentgeltlich übertragen. Nach Maßgabe des § 10 erhält sie Finanzhilfen aus dem Landeshaushalt. Die Wirtschaftsführung und das Rechnungswesen richten sich nach den Grundsätzen ordnungsgemäßer Buchführung und Bilanzierung in sinngemäßer Anwendung des Handelsgesetzbuchs. Sie ist berechtigt, zur Deckung ihrer Aufwendungen, insbesondere für Investitionen, Kredite bis zur Höhe von insgesamt 30 Millionen € aufzunehmen. Ihr ist kraft Gesetzes Dienstherrenfähigkeit zuerkannt worden.

Organe der NLF sind der Präsident und der Verwaltungsrat. Der Präsident sowie der Vizepräsident bilden die Anstaltsleitung. Oberste Dienstbehörde der Mitglieder der Anstaltsleitung ist das Niedersächsische Ministerium für Ernährung, Landwirtschaft und Verbraucherschutz als Fachministerium; für die übrigen Beamten ist dies der Präsident. Bei der Durchführung staatlicher Aufgaben untersteht die NLF der Fachaufsicht und im Übrigen der Rechtsaufsicht des Fachministeriums.

Organisationseinheiten sind die Betriebsleitung (Sitz Braunschweig), die Servicestellen (Niedersächsisches Forstplanungsamt, Niedersächsisches Forstliches Bildungszentrum, Forstsaatgut-Beratungsstelle) sowie – als Kern – die 24 Forstämter. Allerdings darf der Begriff Forstamt nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass es sich nicht mehr um eigenständige Behörden handelt, sondern vielmehr um unternehmerisch tätige Organisationseinheiten der Anstalt NLF.

The founding members of SCOBA
Posted on November 22, 2010 September 26, 2019 by Matthew Namee by Matthew Namee
Recently, I happened to look at Fr. Serafim Surrency's 1973 book The Quest for Orthodox Unity in America, an invaluable study of American Orthodoxy from 1794 to 1973. This book is one of the best sources for information on, among other things, Archbishop Aftimios Ofiesh's "American Orthodox Catholic Church," as well as the proto-SCOBA 1940s Federation. It's also a great source for information on the very early years of SCOBA. Fr. Serafim himself was closely involved with SCOBA, and he provides all sorts of details not available elsewhere.
I thought our readers might be interested in Fr. Serafim's list of the original member jurisdictions of SCOBA when it was founded in 1960. Here is the list, with Fr. Serafim's notes:
Albanian Diocese (under Constantinople)
Carpatho-Russian Diocese (under Constantinople)
Bulgarian Diocese (not in canonical relationship with the Mother Church of Sofia)
Greek Archdiocese (under Constantinople)
Romanian Archdiocese (under Bucharest)
Russian Metropolia (not in canonical relationship with the Mother Church of Moscow)
Russian Exarchate (under Moscow)
Ukrainian Diocese (under Constantinople)
Ukrainian Autocephalic Diocese (not in canonical relationship with the Mother Church)
Syrian Archdiocese of N.Y. (under Antioch)
Of the eleven founding member jurisdictions, ten are what we would today consider "mainstream." The odd one out is the Ukrainian Autocephalic Diocese, also sometimes known as the Ukrainian Church in Exile. In addition to those eleven jurisdictions, Surrency listed several more jurisdictions which, for one reason or another, didn't participate in the founding of SCOBA:
Albanian Archdiocese (in communion with the Church in Albania)
Syrian Archdiocese of Toledo (under Antioch)
Independent Romanian Diocese (not in canonical relationship with Bucharest)
Russian Church in Exile (not in canonical relationship with the Church of Moscow)
Ukrainian Metropolia (not in canonical relationship with the Mother Church)
Oddly, the Serbs are not mentioned at all.
Fifty years later, at the end of its existence, SCOBA also included eleven jurisdictions:
Greek Archdiocese of America
Antiochian Archdiocese of North America
Serbian Church in North and South America
Carpatho-Russian Diocese in the USA (under Constantinople)
Romanian Archdiocese in the Americas (under Bucharest)
Bulgarian Eastern Orthodox Church (under Sofia)
Orthodox Church in America
Ukrainian Church of the USA (under Constantinople)
Moscow Patriarchal Parishes (under Moscow)
Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (under Moscow)
Albanian Diocese of America (under Constantinople)
There have been various mergers, name changes, and so forth, but the biggest difference between the 1960 list and the 2010 list is the absence of the Ukrainian Autocephalic Church. This body was led by Archbishop Palladios Rudenko. Here is what Surrency had to say about them (p. 114):
In the United States there are two other Ukrainian jurisdictions with less than a dozen parishes between them: one is called the "Holy Ukrainian Autocephalic Orthodox Church in Exile" headed by Archbishop Palladios who has been hospitalized and unable to function for the last four or five years-his jurisdiction seems to enjoy a quasi-canonical relationship with the Greek Archdiocese-and the second group is known as the "Ukrainian Autocephalic Orthodox Church in Exile" (Sobornopravna) which is headed by Archbishop Gregory.
They were, in 1973, one of the smallest jurisdictions in America, with just one bishop and five parishes. I'm still trying to get a handle on their history, but eventually, I'll try to get an article done. Surely there's a story to be uncovered.

There is! It's been a while since I looked at the rather convulated details of the history of Ukrainian Orthodoxy outside the Moscow Patriarchate, but if I'm not mistaken the Ukrainian Orthodox Churches of the USA and Canada were the North America dioceses of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (UAOC) until their union with Constantinople. The UAOC and at least one of the schisms off of it still maintain dioceses in North America, whilst the Kiev Patriarchate that formed out of the UAOC and the Moscow Patriarchate also has a North American exarchate. I look forward to your article! It'd be nice to see a clear overview of the various schisms and mergers and new schisms…
Matthew Namee says:
Well, I can't promise "a clear overview of the various schisms and mergers and new schisms." The whole realm of intra-Ukrainian relations is uncharted territory for me. But I will try to nail down the details on Archbishop Palladios and his jurisdiction.
Of course, if YOU want to do some research and submit an article, we'd love to consider it!
Sorry, I meant to write "convoluted" – not sure what convulated is supposed to mean :-).
I would love to, but it is extraordinarily confusing and I'm having trouble finding sources on Archbishop Palladius and his segment of Ukrainian Orthodoxy :-/. Plus I'm working on a survey of the history and theology of the Church of the East, its past ecumenical contacts with the Russian Orthodox Church, and the potential for future dialogue…
fral says:
The only information I have about Archbishop Palladios is written in Ukrainian.It's in the autobiography of the late Archpriest Vitaly Sahaydakivsky.The book is entitled,"Pravdy ne Vtopyty",(Truth
Prevails).
Archbishop Palladios was one Ukrainian bishop who stood apart from the majority,which accepted the uncanonical consecration of Metropolitan Vasyl Lypkivsky in 1921.
Archbishop Palladios was advised by the Greek Archdiocese Archbishop Michael to cooperate with Bishop Bohdan(Schpylka) who at that time was the one Ukrainian bishop belonging to Constantieople and hence canonical.
Unfortunatly,according to Fr.Vitaly,Bishop Bohdan's activities,namely concelebrating with uncanonical Ukrainian bishops,led to Archbishop Palladios forming a seperate Ukrainian jurisdiction,still under Constantineople.Later,another hierarch,Archbishop Ihor,joined Archbishop Palladios.
Both bishops reposed in the 1960s,after that the number of parishes of the "Ukrainian Church in Exile" declined.
I myself would welcome more information about those two bishops and the church they headed,There is a pseudo jurisdiction out there using the name,"Holy Ukrainian Autocephalic Church in Exile",not to be confused with the original jurisdiction which DID have the blessing of Constantinople.

2016 American Conference for Irish Studies special guests to include Ambassador to the U.S. Anne Anderson and Governor Steve Bullock of Montana.
Irish Studies at the University of Montana, in partnership with American Conference for Irish Studies (ACIS), the Friends of Irish Studies, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and the Butte Silver Bow Archives will host the 2016 American Conference for Irish Studies west in Missoula, Montana from October 20-23.
The theme of the conference is "Her Exiled Children: Ireland and Irish America." This was the term that Patrick Pearse, leader of the Easter Rising, applied to the Irish of America as he read the Proclamation of the Irish Republic from the steps of the General Post Office in Dublin on Easter Monday, 1916.
A full schedule of events and activities has been organized to commemorate the Easter Rising and to celebrate the long and historic relationship between Ireland and Montana. Among the featured guests are Irish Ambassador to the U.S. Anne Anderson and Governor Steve Bullock of Montana.
Delegates will be received by members of Division of 1 of the Ancient Order of Hibernians at their hall in Anaconda. This division, founded in 1885, is the longest continuously active division west of the Mississippi.
Following a tour of the facility and town, the group will travel to Butte and a reception at the Butte Silver Bow Archives, home to a very rich repository of primary material relating to the history of the Irish in the west. A tour of the archives is followed by a tour of the city, after which the group returns to Missoula where Irish history meets the streets.
Saturday is the day the conference celebrates the historical relationship between Ireland and America in general, and the close connection between Ireland and Montana in particular. The Irish love of sport is a prominent feature of this day's activities. Hurling, the most ancient of Irish games, is the sport; Loyola Sacred Heart Ram field is the venue; and the teams come from the Northwest and Canada.
The keynote speakers have a personal connection to Montana. Breandan Feiritéar will deliver a talk entitled "Dragging it Home: Songs and Stories from Gaelic America." Feiritéar has been following the trail of Irish-speaking emigrants for over 40 years and presenting his findings on radio and television. His documentary on Butte, "Scéal ar Butte," will be shown following his talk.
Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, poet in residence at Notre Dame, reads from her large corpus of original poems and talks also of her family and the memories they her generation of living and working in Montana.
The evening culminates with a banquet at which the Ambassador Anne Anderson and Governor Steve Bullock, will be guests of honor. Both will speak to the importance of the relationship between Ireland and Montana.
Anderson's presence at the conference is highly symbolic and indicative of how Montana is viewed in Ireland. The former president of Ireland, Mary McAleese, on her visit to Montana in 2006, spoke of the enormous contribution Montana had made to Ireland and to the special place this state has the hearts of all Irish people.
Anderson's first official visit to Montana was scheduled deliberately to coincide with the conference as a reminder of the high regard in which the Irish government and people hold their friends in Montana. The evening will conclude with presentations and a celebration of Irish music and dance.

That behavior is unique to IE10 on Windows 8 in the immersive environment. 1.4k Views. s... While having Internet Explorer use the entire screen in the modern UI is a really nice feature, there are times when I would like to see the address bar and the tabs while surfing the web.

Ronald Reagan finally has the opportunity to go solo and have our very own Boy's Basketball team for the first time this November! In the past Reagan's basketball teams have been combined with other schools, such as Pulaski or Milwaukee Juneau high schools. Reagan originally teamed up with other schools because when Reagan became an IB school, there wasn't many students were enrolled at the time. Now that there's over a thousand students, there's a strong demand for our own team.
Mr. Mayer, Reagan's Athletic Director, explained how Reagan came to have our own team. Mayer said in an interview that "a combination of people made the decision of having our own team... we felt like Reagan was ready for its own team."
Ronald Reagan having its own boys basketball team is a very big deal even if your not the biggest basketball fan. It shows how our school is developing, becoming independent, and growing. Also having our own basketball teams mean they need way more support from students here at Reagan! "It's ideal for Reagan to have its own team, and it makes sense," Mayer said. He pointed out that Reagan has a gym, and people willing to play, "It will also give the players a better high school experience with more play time and opportunities in learning."
Mayer expects success for Reagan's first season, saying that "a lot of people from last year were already from Reagan from the conjoined team." Another little preview the Howler got was of the possible design of the jerseys our team may be wearing. The first Reagan Boys Basketball Team will be in blue and white with the word "Husky" on back above the player number. This new team will need all of our Reganite support, to cheer them on as they take the court on November 28th. If you would like to be a part of this team, Tryouts are scheduled for November 13th.


Tuberculosis, TB or Pulmonary tuberculosis is a bacterial contagious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Persons with weakened immune system, infants and elderly people are at higher risk for tuberculosis. You can be at greater risk if you are in frequent contact with persons suffering TB. Poor nutrition and sanitation contribute to the risk factor. Many drug-resistant strains of TB have made it more difficult to treat the disease. Pulmonary tuberculosis shows up with symptoms like fatigue, fever, cough with mucus and blood, chest pain, difficulty in breathing and unexplained weight loss. A person suffering TB will have enlarged lymph nodes and pleural effusion. Bronchoscopy, chest x-ray and sputum culture can aid diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. Pulmonary TB is treated with Isoniazid, Rifampin, Ethambutol, Streptomycin or Moxifloxacin. Treatment usually lasts for 6 months or longer.
Tuberculosis can also affect other parts of the body such as bones, lymphatic system, central nervous system and genital or urinary system. Disseminated tuberculosis or Miliary tuberculosis is a contagious bacterial infection that has spread from the lungs to other parts of the body through the blood or lymph system. This type of TB can also affect the larynx, skin and pericardium too.

Legendary Drummer Bill Ward To Release Fine Art Debut With "Absence of Corners"
Written by Jason Price on July 16, 2013
He's arguably one of the most discussed drummers in rock today. His presence behind the kit for over 45 years has inspired countless imitators. And for many, he's considered the most influential drummer in heavy metal history. But as summer peaks, Bill Ward will make his first foray into the world of fine art with a debut collection, "Absence of Corners." Set for release on August 1, 2013 at www.billwarddrumart.com, all of the pieces in Ward's collection are created from rhythm and limited in availability.
An extensive process from start to finish, "Absence of Corners" took nearly a year to complete. Working with Los Angeles art team SceneFour, Ward utilized a sophisticated formula to create the collection's visuals, using an array of drumsticks and rhythmic accessories that produce light, much like a painter utilizing brushes and oils. The movements featured within the captured rhythms are then studied and developed into abstract artwork that showcases a dimension not normally seen by the human eye. Each piece in this limited-edition collection is then numbered. All are signed by Ward.
Ward on the project:
"When I'm working on new ideas, musically much of what's played is guided by a visual appearance or shape. Since my early childhood, I've played drums in visuals as well as sound. When I write, there's always an image, sometimes a color attached to what's being created.
"I've never 'listened' to bass notes; I 'feel' them. The keyboard's black notes are dark to me and represent many sad emotions. These examples are simple, natural, childlike applications that have stayed with me.
"When SceneFour approached me about doing this project, it sounded like an adventurous progression. I am delighted with the captured expressions from my head and my heart. Their arrival onto canvas is beautiful."
To develop the art collection, Ward utilized the expertise of art team SceneFour. Based in Los Angeles, SceneFour specializes in working with music visionaries on the creation of fine artwork. SceneFour's previous art collaborations have included releases with Chuck D, Bootsy Collins, Page Hamilton, and The RZA. Over the last several years, SceneFour's focus has been on the development and publishing of rhythm on canvas collections, with Ward's collection being the largest release to date with a total of 18 different pieces featured and ranging in size (30″ x 18″ to the epic 85″ x 30″).
"Absence of Corners" debuts on August 1, 2013 at www.billwarddrumart.com. Those interested in learning more and seeing the artwork before the release are encouraged to join the interest list at www.billwarddrumart.com.

My credit/debit card will not process and I am getting an error. What is wrong?
BlackOpsToys does utilize an address verification system for your street address or your zip code. Your billing address or zip code MUST match the address your banking or credit institution has on file for you.
You MUST include the CVV (three digit code) from the back of your card. This holds true whether it is a debit or credit card. If you do not enter the CVV code, your card will be declined.
If you are outside the United States, you are advised to use a credit card drawn off an internationally recognized bank system, i.e., Chase, Citi, HSBC, etc. Your banking institution MUST allow address verification. If it does not, you cannot pay with a credit/debit card.
Can I use a Visa or Mastercard logo GIFT CARD on the BlackOpsToys web site?
I do not have a credit card, debit card or PayPal account. Will you accept a personal check?
No. We do apologize, but we cannot accept a personal check.
I do not have a credit card, debit card or PayPal account. Will you accept cash?
No. We do not accept cash as a form of payment on our web site.
I'm looking for a certain product on your site and your web site tells me there are no products matching my search criteria. What does this mean?
This means that the product is not for sale on our web site. Though it may have been for sale at one time, if the product is out of stock, it will not show up when you search for it.
I've purchased a product from your site before, but when I search for it your web site tells me there are no products matching my search criteria. What does this mean?
This means that the product is not for sale anymore on our web site. Though you may have purchased it at one time, if the product is out of stock, it will not show up when you search for it.
Can an order modified once it has been completed?
No. Once your order is complete, regardless of payment type, it cannot be modified.
Can I purchase preorder products and regular store products at the same time?
No. Preorder products can only be purchased separately. If you do, you will most likely have to pay an additional shipping charge or we will cancel your order. Please do not ask us to make exceptions. Preorder items are always by themselves on their own order.
I would like to buy five different preorder items at one time. Can I do this and save money on shipping?
Please do not order different figure preorder items on the same order. If you do, we have to separate them and ship them as they arrive and there will be additional shipping charges. If you do not pay the additional charges, we will be forced to cancel your order.
I received my preorder figure in the mail today, but the box and/or some of the pieces look different than the photos on your web site. Why?
Product photo is usually of a preproduction prototype. Final product may differ slightly in color and or content.
My preorder product still isn't here and your web site said it would arrive a month ago.
My friend in another state received his preorder boxed figure two weeks ago and I have not received mine yet. When will I get my figure?
There will also be times where the manufacturer ships new figure in "waves". Preorders from BlackOpsToys are shipped in the order that they were received.
I need to cancel a preorder. How do I do that?
Yes. BlackOpsToys ships worldwide, however, shipping outside of the United States is more expensive and shipping/handling prices reflect the rate increase. Our shipping prices are extremely competitive and we do not profit on shipping and handling charges.
I need to know if BlackOpsToys ships to my country?
BlackOpsToys ships worldwide, via the United States Post Office, to ALMOST any country we are legally allowed to ship to. If you have concerns about your country, please visit the USPS web site and check to see if your country is listed: USPS - Send International Mail.
What countries will BlackOpsToys not ship to?
BlackOpsToys does not ship to Indonesia, Nigeria, or Ghana. This is because we do not allow payment from these countries due to extreme credit card fraud issues. We do not accept any credit card orders from these countries, unless they pay with a confirmed and verified PayPal payment and pay for Global Express Signature Confirmed shipping.
Packages are almost always shipped Monday through Friday, excepting holidays and BlackOpsToys staff travel days. In the case of a travel day, the next available day will be a shipping day.
Can you make any special arrangements to keep my Mint in Box order from being searched by customs?
No. Once we ship the product out to you, we put the package in the hands of the United States Post Office and it's delivery. When the item arrives in your country it is already marked as a gift. Please be aware that regardless of these measures, your package may be searched. Mint in Box figures are shipped that way, and any search by customs does/should not diminish the Mint classification of the item.
I would like delivery confirmation or other type of tracking on my order.
We include delivery confirmation on all orders shipped within the United States and to military postal addresses. Once your order is processed for shipping, you will receive an email from us with your delivery confirmation number. Most orders sent outside the United States cannot be shipped with any kind of delivery confirmation. Some countries like Canada and UK have tracking from the USA to those countries. For more information, you can view the USPS web site. We send you the Customs form number you can use if your package is delayed, but be aware that this is NOT a delivery confirmation number.
Will you ship my items to me, if I promise to pay you when I receive them.
Will you hold items for me, if I promise to send you payment.

'The new kings on the block' – Drogba hails Liverpool's Salah and Mane
Dennis Mabuka
09:48 BST 26/10/2021
The 43-year-old former Ivory Coast captain and Blues legend uses six words to describe the recent achievements by the Liverpool stars
Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has welcomed the new "Kings on the block" in Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, among the most successful African finishers in Premier League history.
This is after Liverpool forward Salah surpassed Drogba's 104 goals in the top-flight.
The 29-year-old Egypt international became the top-scoring African player in Premier League history after notching a hat-trick in the 5-0 demolition of Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Heading into the fixture, Salah and Drogba were tied on 104 goals but the Liverpool forward turned on the screw to score three and reach a new tally of 107 goals.
His first goal came in the 38th minute which meant he had already overtaken the former Ivory Coast captain but he did not stop there as he scored two more goals in the 45th and 50th minutes.
With the record confirmed, Drogba had taken to his social media pages to welcome Salah as one of the new kings on the block.
The new KINGS on the block @MoSalah @SMane_Officiel 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 https://t.co/fWVMleKGDP
— Didier Drogba (@didierdrogba) October 25, 2021
"The new Kings on the block," the 43-year-old wrote accompanied with a picture of him, Salah, and Senegal international Sadio Mane, who has scored 100 Premier League goals.
Salah first came to the Premier League from Basel and signed for Chelsea where he scored one goal in the top-flight as he didn't get the opportunity to prove himself.
Chelsea loaned him out to Fiorentina where gained confidence in a top European league. He then moved to Roma where he kept improving with his contribution to goals in Serie A.
He returned to the Premier League by signing for Liverpool in 2017-18, where he's gone on to establish himself as one of the best goalscorers in the world.

Q: how do i get the # of the row of a dataframe, not the value of the index? i have a dataframe that looks like this:
Open        High  ...  Dividends  Stock Splits
Date                                ...

when i do
for index, row in df.iterrows():
 print(index)

i just get the Date column.
but what i want to know is which row (0, 1, 2, 3, 4...) im on. how do i reference that?

A: You can get the range index by doing a reset_index(), as follows:
df = df.reset_index()

Result:
The required row number 0, 1, 2, ... are the range index that you can now find at the leftmost of the dataframe:
print(df)

         Date        Open        High  Dividends  Stock Splits
0  2021-01-04  118.759295  119.907541      0.194             0
1  2021-01-05  118.299996  120.137196      0.000             0
2  2021-01-06  118.509677  123.691787      0.000             0
3  2021-01-07  124.141101  127.286317      0.000             0
4  2021-01-08  126.297817  127.446072      0.000             0
5  2021-01-11  126.257878  129.143486      0.000             0
6  2021-01-12  128.135026  128.194933      0.000             0
7  2021-01-13  127.266345  127.855453      0.000             0

A: If you don't mind losing Date column as index:
df.reset_index(inplace=True)
for index, row in df.iterrows():
    print(index)

If you do want to keep Date as index, you can use enumerate
for index, row in enumerate(df.itertuples()):
    print(index, row.Date)


On behalf of Law Office of Ronald V. De Caprio posted in Credit Card Debt on Friday, July 10, 2015.
Family trips and personal vacations can be good ways for individuals to refocus after dealing with the stresses of life and work. Whether a Garnerville resident travels to a nearby retreat or a distant land, he generally has to incur some expense in order to make his dream vacation into a reality. While some people tend to save up for their trips, others fail to plan and finance their escapes with credit cards.
According to a survey of Americans, nearly half of all people have used credit cards to pay for vacations when their savings were insufficient to cover their costs. Younger people are more likely to do so, though with mounting airfares and the cost of gas, getting anywhere for cheap can be a challenge. The related study noted that transportation and lodging costs covered the majority of the travelers' debts, though activities and food also contributed to post-vacation credit card debt.
While vacation debt may look small in size when compared to debts like mortgages, student loans and medical bills, they can still add up to big financial headaches for those who incur them. A consumer may find that he cannot get ahead of his vacation debts and that he can only make the minimum payments toward them. Those debts may swell over time and leave the consumer with a bigger financial challenge than he intended to take on.
Vacation debts can also put pressure on a person's ability to pay off more pressing loans and obligations. Coupled with harassment from creditors, a consumer may not know what to do when credit card and other debts begin to run his life. Though bankruptcy is a major legal process that not all people can pursue, it can be a viable option for people who need help breaking free of their financial obligations. Attorneys who work in the bankruptcy field can speak with their clients about options under the bankruptcy laws.
A vacation is supposed to relax a traveler and return him home feeling refreshed. Unfortunately, some travelers return home with worries about how they will pay for their adventures. Credit card debt can become a problem for people who are not prepared to manage the costs of their vacation-related expenses.

Q: Cannot construct instance of `java.time.LocalDate` - Spring boot, elasticseach, jackson I'm using Spring-boot 2.0.0.M7 and spring-boot-starter-data-elasticsearch and elasticsearch 5 and I'm getting an error by deserializing a LocalDate field.
My Document looks like that:
@Document(indexName= "myIndex", type = "cluster")
public class Cluster {

    @Id
    @Field
    private Long id;
    @Field
    private String name;
    @Field
    private ClusterUrl clusterUrl;
    @Field
    private ClusterVisible clusterVisible;
}

Where ClusterVisible is a child object which holds the LocalDates:
public class ClusterVisible {

    @JsonFormat(shape = JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern = "dd.MM.yyyy")
    private LocalDate start;
    @JsonFormat(shape = JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern = "dd.MM.yyyy")
    private LocalDate end;
}

So I just make a query for one cluster Id and I get this exception:
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidDefinitionException: Cannot construct instance of `java.time.LocalDate` (no Creators, like default construct, exist): cannot deserialize from Object value (no delegate- or property-based Creator)

I already know that I need to add some jackson dependencies for the java.time api so I added:
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-datatype-jsr310</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
    <version>2.9.4</version>
</dependency>

But this does not help for now. I also checked the entry in the index by making a query using kibana. The result of the query is:
...
"clusterVisible": {
    "start": {
      "year": 2017,
      "month": "OCTOBER",
      "dayOfMonth": 25,
      "dayOfWeek": "WEDNESDAY",
      "era": "CE",
      "dayOfYear": 298,
      "leapYear": false,
      "monthValue": 10,
      "chronology": {
        "id": "ISO",
        "calendarType": "iso8601"
      }
    },
    "end": {
      "year": 3000,
      "month": "JANUARY",
      "dayOfMonth": 1,
      "dayOfWeek": "WEDNESDAY",
      "era": "CE",
      "dayOfYear": 1,
      "leapYear": false,
      "monthValue": 1,
      "chronology": {
        "id": "ISO",
        "calendarType": "iso8601"
      }
    }
}

What do I miss for fixing this error?
Addition: The exact error occours at mapper.mapToObject. So I created a new DefaultEntityMapper(); some lines before. Could that be the issue?
@Override
public Page<Cluster> findClustersAndScoreByText(String text) {
    QueryBuilder queryBuilder = QueryBuilders.boolQuery()
            .should(QueryBuilders.queryStringQuery(text).lenient(true).defaultOperator(Operator.OR)
                    .field("name")
                    .field("svno"));

    NativeSearchQuery nativeSearchQuery = new NativeSearchQueryBuilder().withQuery(queryBuilder)
            .withPageable(PageRequest.of(0, 100)).build();

    DefaultEntityMapper mapper = new DefaultEntityMapper();
    ResultsExtractor<Page<Cluster>> rs = new ResultsExtractor<Page<Cluster>>() {

        @Override
        public Page<Cluster> extract(SearchResponse response) {
            ArrayList<Cluster> hotels = new ArrayList<>();
            SearchHit[] hits = response.getHits().getHits();
            for (SearchHit hit : hits) {
                try {
                    Cluster cluster = mapper.mapToObject(hit.getSourceAsString(), Cluster.class);
                    cluster.setScore(hit.getScore());
                    hotels.add(cluster);
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
            return new PageImpl<>(hotels, PageRequest.of(0, 100), response.getHits().getTotalHits());
        }
    };

    return elasticsearchTemplate.query(nativeSearchQuery, rs);
}

A: Date/time format, according to ISO 8601 is "YYYY-MM-DD", so your pattern should be:
@JsonFormat(shape = JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd")

Instead of:
@JsonFormat(shape = JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern = "dd.MM.yyyy")

Another way is adding in your application.yml
spring:
    jackson:
        serialization:
            WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS: false

Or disable this feature directly in your object mapper:
objectMapper.disable(SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS)

A: need to install JsonFormat JsonDeserialize JsonSerialize
private LocalDate dateOfBirth;

    @PastOrPresent(message = "must be past time or present")
    @Column(name = "date_of_birth", nullable = false, columnDefinition = "DATE")
    @JsonFormat(shape = JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern = "dd-MM-yyyy")
    @JsonDeserialize(using = LocalDateDeserializer.class)
    @JsonSerialize(using = LocalDateSerializer.class)
    public LocalDate getDateOfBirth() {
        return dateOfBirth;
    }

    @JsonFormat(shape = JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern = "dd-MM-yyyy")
    public void setDateOfBirth(LocalDate dateOfBirth) {
        this.dateOfBirth = dateOfBirth;
    }

A: add below annotation over the field LocalDate
@JsonDeserialize(using = LocalDateDeserializer.class)
@JsonSerialize(using = LocalDateSerializer.class)
private LocalDate start;

A: You don't need @JsonFormat. All you need is DateFormat.date param in annotation (kotlin):
@Field(type = Date, format = date)
val created: LocalDate = now()

Elasticsearch doesn't use Jackson but instead a MappingElasticsearchConverter.
Date will be saved in elastic in format: 2020-01-02, mapping will be:
 "created" : {
          "type" : "date",
          "format" : "date"
        }

{
    int result = await Calculate(1, 2);

    label1.Text = result.ToString();
}

private async Task<int> Calculate(int number1, int number2)
{
    await Task.Delay(5000);
    return number1 + number2;
}

A: The main difference is that Task.Run creates a new thread (refer to this MSDN documentation's Threads section).
So the new thread created blocks for 5 seconds in the first case and then returns the result (Meanwhile, the main thread is available for use, so await returns back the control to the caller from Task.Run(...) )
In the second case too, after the await, control is transferred to the caller and the Task.Delay is going on in the main thread. No new thread is created.
So as you mentioned in the question, if you want to go for multi-threading, using Task.Run() along with async and await will give you a multitude of possibilities.
For more details on async and await control flow, refer the above mentioned documentation. Its a very helpful and detailed MSDN read!


The Singapore Philatelic Museum is celebrating the country's 50th anniversary with a new exhibition.
The Singapore Philatelic Museum has launched an exhibition that celebrates the country's 50th anniversary with more than 240 philatelic items, according to a museum release.
The release reads, "The 'Singapore Journey: 50 Years Through Stamps' exhibition traces the birth of Singapore as an independent nation in 1965, the challenges that it faced in areas such as public housing, industrialisation, defence and racial harmony; its achievements like the 'City in a Garden' concept and its world-class maritime and aviation hubs; as well as the development of sports, culture and the arts, that has bound the nation."
The exhibition runs through July 31, 2016.
Watch Channel NewsAsia's video segment on the exhibition.
"In a special ceremony July 22 at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in the historic port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Post unveiled stamps commemorating John Franklin's ill-fated 1845 search for the Northwest Passage and the discovery in September 2014 of the sunken remains of his expedition's flagship HMS Erebus."
"A new search function on the website of the American Philatelic Society allows anyone to view images and opinions of stamps submitted for expertization."
"The stamps of the Dominican Republic have enjoyed sustained popularity. The Dominican Republic has been, and remains, one of the most popular Latin American countries with American collectors. It also enjoys a following in Spain."


On here you are going to learn how to make an led light up!
Now you need to make the longer leg which is the positive leg onto the positive side which is the side with the little +. The other leg which is the shorter one is the negative leg, put it on the other side and you are done. If you want to maintain it lighting up you can tape it but do not forget to undo it so the batterie does not empty too fast.


For a brief moment in time (1981-1986, to be exact) there existed a film delivery system based on needle/groove technology, just like a record player.
Launched by RCA and dubbed the CAPACITANCE ELECTRONIC DISC (CED), it was quickly supplanted by both commercially available VHS tapes and Laserdiscs, the precursor to the DVD, which read the information with light beams.
Ultimately, it was a clunky, inelegant technology prone to problems and RCA lost about $600 million on it, but there was a curious upside to its brief arc through the collective consciousness...the cover art.
For many of the CED packages, promotional artwork was commissioned for the face of the cartridge that was singular for the release of the RCA SelectaVision format.
Below I have displayed a gallery of some of the cover art from that time, in most cases, different images than were ever seen on the more popular VHS, Laserdisc or DVD releases of the same films.
This is so Perez-y, I know, but it was exciting for me that a red carpet premiere -- of Milk, no less -- was going on tonight a few blocks from my humble home!
Being a pop culture junkie, I was not gonna miss this. Castro Street was blocked between 18th and Market, and there was indeed an actual red carpet rolled out in front of the Castro T heater for the stars to walk. There were bunches of No on 8 supporters as well, shouting from behind the blockade, erupting each time an actor emerged from the motorcade. Milk stars Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Diego Luna, Emile Hirsch, and James Franco, and they were all out in full force, and thisclose to me! The movie is a biopic of the beloved Harvey Milk, and many of his friends and supporters from back in the day were out on the red carpet as well, including my old landlord (!), Carol Ruth Silver, who was on the SF Board of Supervisors during Harvey Milk's time and was apparently also targeted by Dan White. She is even portrayed in the movie! This is all news to me! The most surreal moment was definitely seeing Carol Ruth, rail thin and in one of her ever-present hats, arm in arm with Diego Luna and Emile Hirsch, being photographed by the paparazzi. Also on the carpet were the gorgeous Diane Lane, Robin Wright Penn, T.R. Knig ht and his nearly underaged boyfriend, and, of course, Gavin Newsom. I also spotted Phil Bronstein, former Chronicle editor, former husband of Sharon Stone, and one-time victim of a grisly Komodo Dragon attack.
