Mazda launches 25th Anniversary Miata pre-order site, priced from $32,205
Fri, 02 May 2014 10:44:00 EST
Mazda made a big celebration of the MX-5 Miata at the 2014 New York Auto Show with a bunch of classic models on display. It capped off the model's 25th birthday with the announcement of the 2015 MX-5 Miata 25th Anniversary Edition and showed off the much-anticipated, next-generation version's chassis.
While we are still at least year away from the new Miata hitting the road, the anniversary edition is on its way and is limited to just 100 copies for the United States. The special cars start at $32,205, compared to $23,970 for the 2015 softtop model and $28,665 for the 2015 retractable hardtop version. There is an additional $795 destination charge for all of them.
To make sure everyone gets a chance to own the ceremonial convertible, Mazda has a countdown on its website until 10:25 AM PDT, May 20, 2014. When the day comes, 250 people can to register for the car, and the first 100 to be verified as buyers get the rare Miata. Those with multiple entries will be disqualified.
Mazda Hazumi concept gets punchy, comes out of its corner early
Mon, 03 Mar 2014 10:58:00 EST
The official images Mazda Hazumi concept, which previews the next-generation Mazda2, have leaked out from Chinese website Auto.sohu.com ahead of its debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
The subcompact, four-door hatchback shows off Mazda's Kodo design language in its smallest size yet. Hazumi means "bound" or "spring up" in Japanese, and it is meant to look like it is packed with energy. It is a very attractive little concept and hopefully points to a more stylish face for the next-generation Mazda2.
Mazda has not unveiled the full details about the concept yet, but in a previous release, it said for the car is using a 1.5-liter Skyactiv-D diesel engine. While Mazda has not officially said that the Hazumi shows the next Mazda2, it did say in its earlier release that it "points the way to the future" for the brand's small cars. Reading between the lines isn't too difficult, then.
Mazda CX-5 facelift leaks online
Mon, 10 Nov 2014 10:00:00 EST
It's only been a couple of years since Mazda introduced its CX-5 crossover, so it's hardly in need of replacement just yet. But to keep it fresh, the Japanese automaker is apparently preparing to roll out a facelift for the compact crossover.
The facelifted model is expected to debut at the LA Auto Show later this month, but before it does, a handful of images - apparently scanned from a brochure - have leaked out online. From what we can see, it looks like the revised CX-5 features a new grille with horizontal bars, LED headlamps derived from those on the new Mazda2, new fog light surrounds, new taillight graphics and, of course, new wheels.
Unfortunately we can't see what's going on inside, but it'd be safe to bet that, along with the revised exterior detailing, Mazda's probably taken the opportunity to update the interior as well.

Das Lebenszeitprinzip gehört zu den hergebrachten Grundsätzen des deutschen Berufsbeamtentums und ist als solches grundgesetzlich nach  Abs. 5 GG geschützt.

Nach dem Lebenszeitprinzip werden Beamte grundsätzlich auf Lebenszeit ernannt; eine vorzeitige Entlassung aus dem Amt ist – außer in besonderen Fällen – ausgeschlossen. Das Lebenszeitprinzip dient zusammen mit dem Alimentationsprinzip der Sicherung der Unabhängigkeit des Beamten. Durch das Lebenszeitprinzip wird sichergestellt, dass der Beamte nicht willkürlich oder nach freiem Ermessen seines Vorgesetzten aus dem Amt entlassen werden kann, sondern der Beamte in seiner Tätigkeit persönlich unabhängig ist. Das Lebenszeitprinzip schützt dabei nicht nur den beamtenrechtlichen Status der Person, sondern auch das ihm zugewiesene konkrete Amt.

Nach der Rechtsprechung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts folgt aus dem Lebenszeitprinzip jedoch nicht, dass eine Entfernung aus dem Dienst grundsätzlich nur durch Richterspruch möglich wäre, sodass – wie in Baden-Württemberg – das Beamtenverhältnis auch durch sofort vollziehbaren Verwaltungsakt des Dienstvorgesetzten beendet werden kann, sofern nachgelagerter Rechtsschutz durch die Disziplinargerichte möglich ist.

Das Lebenszeitprinzip verbietet Beamtenverhältnisse auf Zeit nicht grundsätzlich, sie sind aber eine eng gefasste Ausnahme. Beispiele für Beamtenverhältnisse auf Zeit sind zum Beispiel Wahlbeamte, deren Beamtenverhältnis aus diesem Grund bereits im Voraus zeitlich begrenzt ist. Auch politische Beamte sind in aller Regel Beamte auf Zeit, da diese Beamte stets den Willen der Regierung vertreten müssen und ihre Tätigkeit mit den Zielen der Regierung im Einklang stehen muss.

Ein Verstoß gegen das Lebenszeitprinzip kann, da es sich bei Art. 33 Abs. 5 GG um ein Grundrecht handelt, mit der Verfassungsbeschwerde vor dem Bundesverfassungsgericht gerügt werden. So entschied das Bundesverfassungsgericht am 24. April 2018 auf eine Vorlage des Bundesverwaltungsgerichts, dass es mit dem Lebenszeitprinzip nicht vereinbar ist, wenn Hochschulkanzler im Land Brandenburg lediglich auf Zeit ernannt werden.

Woman jailed after sending severed pig's head to former lover
Woman is jailed after sending severed pig's head to former lover, calling him more than 100 times a day and slating his partner's restaurant online during stalking campaign
Tia McBean, 33, stalked Oralton Robinson, 35, and his long-term partner
McBean fell pregnant during a short relationship with Mr Robinson in May 2018
On February 25 2020 she sent a pig's head to Mr Robinson's partner's restaurant
McBean has been jailed 15 months following the prolonged stalking campaign
Tia McBean, 33, has been jailed for 15 months following a prolonged stalking campaign
A woman who sent her ex-boyfriend a pig's head in a 'horrible and gratuitous act of spite' during a prolonged stalking campaign has been jailed for 15 months.
Tia McBean, 33, also bombarded Oralton Robinson, 35, and his long-term partner with phone calls and ordered pizzas to their home – and continued the harassment even after she was made the subject of a restraining order.
She became pregnant during a short relationship with Mr Robinson after they had met in a pub in May 2018, Woolwich Crown Court heard.
Prosecutor Matthew Dalton said in an earlier hearing: 'Oralton Robinson explains he had a short relationship with Tia McBean in 2018 for a few months when he was with his partner, Arkeyia Bish.
'Ms McBean told him she had Bipolar disorder, which was when he started to distance himself from her.
After they split up, McBean then sent abusive text messages, knocked on his door late at night, left notes and at times made more than 100 phone calls a day.
McBean (pictured left and right) was told to leave Mr Robinson alone but allegedly continued her harassment campaign by calling him and sending takeaways
She also targeted the restaurant run by Mr Robinson's partner, sending Facebook messages to regular customers falsely claiming she had seen a man carrying out a sex act in a cooking pot.
McBean ordered so many pizzas to the couple's home that the receipts filled four double-sided pages of evidence, and Mr Robinson even found a delivery driver outside his home after returning from the police station to report the unwanted food.
On February 25 last year she sent a pig's head to Mr Robinson's partner's restaurant.
Prosecutor Matthew Dalton told a previous hearing: 'At about 8.50am he was working at the restaurant when a delivery was made. He thought it was from a catering company.
'He opened it… it was a pig's head. He didn't expect this and would never order anything like this. They only served halal meat at the restaurant.'
Judge Downing also noted McBean's (pictured) 'history of disobedience' and initial 'defiance' during proceedings
The court heard that a vegan employee said in a statement: 'As soon as I saw it, I felt sick. It really wasn't nice for me at all. It made me feel nauseous and I did throw up.'
McBean appeared at Woolwich Crown Court on Thursday to plead guilty to multiple charges including breach of a restraining order, criminal damage, stalking and sending malicious communications.
Judge Ruth Downing sentenced her to 15 months in jail and extended her restraining order until May 31.
Sentencing McBean, she said: 'This was a course of conduct in breach of restraining orders and was aimed specifically at Mr Oralton Robinson and his long-term partner.
'The breaches are of an offensive rather than violent nature… restraining orders are given in a variety of places which covers a gamut of conduct.
'The main feature of this conduct has not been one of violence but a loss of peace and quiet.
'I don't entirely discount that there was a genuine degree of apprehension (from Mr Robinson and his partner) that the conduct could escalate if your calls and your abuse did not achieve whatever it was you were out to achieve.'
Woolwich Crown Court, London. Judge Ruth Downing sentenced McBean to 15 months in jail and extended her restraining order until May 31
Judge Downing said the criminal damage suggested McBean's campaign was 'getting out of hand'.
'Matters reached a very unpleasant stage when you sent a package that when opened… revealed that there was a pig's head inside, which was a horrible and very gratuitous act of spite,' she said.
She added that reviews of Mr Robinson's partner's restaurant by McBean were 'deeply unpleasant, unnecessary, hurtful, irksome and worrying'.
Judge Downing also noted McBean's 'history of disobedience' and initial 'defiance' during proceedings.
James Hasslacher, defending, said: 'This was an irrational approach to the breakdown of a relationship.'
Referring to McBean's guilty pleas he said: 'It is a move by her that I hope the court can see is an optimistic way forward.'
He added it was a 'matter of record' that Mr Robinson had previously been convicted of assaulting McBean.
'This was a toxic relationship that descended into this quite irrational behaviour,' he said.
McBean, of Besson Street, New Cross, was previously remanded in custody and is due to be released on licence in mid-March.
A further restraining order will be put in place in due course.

Bell Pottinger documentary first trailer
25th May 2020 In Member Projects, News By DFAEditor
INFLUENCE, the feature-length documentary film charting the rise and fall of the infamous London-based PR firm Bell Pottinger, has released its first trailer ahead of the Hot Docs International Film Festival in Toronto, Canada (May) and Doc Edge New Zealand (June).
INFLUENCE serves as a terrifying reminder of the dangers that lurk within the post-truth era, in which masters of disinformation use new digital tools to wage ancient propaganda wars — undermining the very fabric of democratic societies.
The film, co-directed by Daily Maverick's journalist-provocateur Richard Poplak and Diana Neille, proved controversial when it debuted in competition at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. "Audiences were taken aback by the frank depiction of influence -peddling that goes on behind the scenes during election campaigns around the world," said Poplak. .
The film has only become more urgent in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis, where the media zone is flooded with so much "news" that it's difficult to tell up from down. "When we watched the first cut of the trailer, we were struck with how current the film feels," said Neille. "If anything, the pandemic crisis has made bad actors like Bell Pottinger appear even more dangerous — even the President of the United States is peddling miracle cures that have no solid basis in science. We certainly didn't anticipate that when we turned on the cameras more than two years ago."
"We feel our film will help audiences appreciate the relationship between politicians,corporations and the media," added producer Neil Brandt of Storyscope. We hope INFLUENCE will play a role in pulling back the veil and helping people navigate the uncertain times ahead of us."
The trailer can be viewed at www.influence.film
INFLUENCE is produced by Neil Brandt of Storyscope (SA) and Bob Moore of EyeSteelFilm (Canada). It is an official South African/Canadian co-production, with backing from the Blue Ice Docs, Hot Docs Partners Fund, the Rogers Cable Network Fund, the Société de développement des entreprises culturelles, the National Film and Video Foundation of South Africa, and Canada Media Fund. Broadcast rights are currently held by Arte (France/Germany), documentary Channel (Canada) and eTV (SA). Cinetic Media is handling world sales.

There seems to be a faction of pilots in every aircraft type that preach chopping the power violently at 50 feet, 100 feet, and even higher, in a misguided attempt to achieve AFM threshold speeds. To these pilots I usually say it takes energy to arrest your sink rate and that energy comes from your forward speed, so you don't need to do anything. But they have years of anecdotal evidence of long landings, hot landings, and long and hot landings. Well, they aren't landing correctly.
They need to let the autothrottles do their job and flare the aircraft not to level flight, but to a slight descent. The landing will be predictably on speed and in the touchdown zone. As a bonus, the landing will be perceived in back as a smooth one. Here's a demonstration: EVS vs. Visual (Landing). The landing was smooth, on speed, and the aircraft was in a three point attitude right at 1,000 feet.
What follows is some geometry to explain what these pilots are doing wrong, and some physics to prove the "airspeed bleeds in the flare rotation" argument.
Of course there is an easier way. Just fly the aircraft on a 3° glide path all the way down to flare height, perform a normal flare, and look at your airspeed indicator.
There are no sources given here, all this is my technique.
Prior to initiating the flare, the pilot's eyes attempt to keep the runway aim point stationary on the windshield. If the pilot does not flare, his eyes will impact the runway at that point, normally 1,000' down the runway. Because most aircraft make this approach with a positive deck angle, the wheels do not simply touchdown at their actual distance behind the pilot, but at around seven times that distance. This seems counter intuitive, but the math is explained at Deck Angle.
A G450, for example, approaches with a 5° nose high attitude on a 3° glide path. Even though the wheels are only 35 feet behind the pilot's eyes, they will touchdown 275 feet behind the aim point if the pilot does not flare.
If you do everything right, your wheels touchdown at your aim point and you bleed off the necessary amount of speed. And you did all of that without chopping the power violently at a height above the flare initiation point.
The pendulum effect of the engines on most aircraft means the nose will want to pitch down. Further, the aircraft will seek its in-trim airspeed, also tending to push the nose down.
If the pilot doesn't maintain the aim point the aircraft will fall well below the intended 3° glide path, thereby accelerating.
The pilot has to "swap ends" at the last moment to arrest the fall.
The end result is a low speed touchdown, short of the touchdown zone.
The technique achieves the pilot's goal of not landing too fast but risks a dangerously low speed landing as well as a landing short of the landing surface. The technique is also hard to adjust for winds.
Here's an example of what happens when you chop the power early with a headwind: Video / Power Chop. Let me say that I was in the right seat with a contract pilot in the left. When he chopped the power at 150 feet I was surprised. At 100 feet we were still heading for pavement and had only lost 5 knots so I wasn't too concerned. By 50 feet we were headed for a landing in the first few hundred feet and slow, I considered calling for a go around but at that point I knew we would be on pavement, just slow. How slow? We touched down at VREF - 20 and around 500 feet. Was he dangerously slow and short? No, not this time. But he reduced our margin of safety and I will insist he keep the autothrottles engaged next time he flies with us. Not the worst I've ever seen but certainly not something I want to do again.
Our objective is to touchdown at VREF.
Because my math and physics aren't what they used to be, I am going to make an assumption here that I think is pretty close. I will use a constant thrust setting, no thrust reduction at all, to make up for ground effect. I am assuming keeping the power levers at their approach setting will give us as much speed as ground effect does. I think if I can demonstrate a speed decay under these conditions, it should also happen with the proper thrust reduction and ground effect.
We will also flare the aircraft to 200 fpm at touchdown, a firm touchdown to be sure. Since you are more likely to reduce the sink rate even more, your airspeed decay will be even greater.
That certainly makes sense, 11.6 (ft/sec) times 60 gives us a VVI of 696 fpm, about what we would expect. Now for the sake of this example we intend to plant the airplane on the ground at 200 fpm. While the AFM recommends 360 fpm and most pilots shoot for zero, we'll do 200 for a softer touchdown. Our results will be conservative, since we will bleed less speed.
Where F = force, m = mass, and a = acceleration.
We flew the approach at VREF + 5, did not reduce thrust, and simply cut our sink rate by two-thirds. The change in energy required by the pitch change was enough to bleed the airspeed to VREF.

The code reads and separates 'Part 1', 'Part 2', 'Part 3' from the first column, participant and outputs the average of each 'Part', for corresponding values in the second column reaction time, to another file("maniout.xlsx") under 3 columns named "ps-part1", "ps-part2", "ps-part3". I need to automate this for many similar files and have their result added/appended to "maniout.xlsx" under "ps-part1", "ps-part2", "ps-part3". Many Thanks

A: I am assuming your all input files are in a single folder and all having the same type of data format( 2 columns with name as 'Name.2', 'Time.1')
So, in this case, we will loop through all the file and find mean of each data as per your code and add to list after finding all mean will write it xlsx file via pandas dataframe
import pandas as pd

mean_data = []

for root, _, files in os.walk("Folder path"): <-- update folder path
    for file in files:
        if file.endswith(".xlsx"):
            rf = pd.read_excel(os.path.join(root, file), skiprows=5)
            rf = rf[['Name.2', 'Time.1']]
            rf = rf.rename(columns={'Name.2': 'participant', 'Time.1': 'reaction time'}, inplace=False)

            part1 = rf[rf['participant'].str.contains("PART 1")]['reaction time'].mean()
            part2 = rf[rf['participant'].str.contains("PART 2")]['reaction time'].mean()
            part3 = rf[rf['participant'].str.contains("PART 3")]['reaction time'].mean()

            mean_data.append([part1, part2, part3])

df = pd.DataFrame(mean_data, columns=['ps-part1', 'ps-part2', 'ps-part3'])

Zoltan Kaszas
By Chris Hupe
Hungarian-born comedian Zoltan Kaszas is the latest up and coming comedian to visit the stage of the Fort Wayne Comedy Club, located at 2104 S. Calhoun St.
Appearing at the venue April 6, Kaszas brings the comedy that helped him win The San Diego Comedy Festival, San Diego's Funniest Person Contest, and The RockStar Energy Drink Comedy Throwdown.
After a decade on the touring circuit, Kaszas recently received some unexpected notoriety when a video of a routine he was performing, "Cat Jokes," went viral, gaining 15 million views, including a few from the people behind America's Got Talent, who invited him to audition for the reality show. Unfortunately, Kaszas didn't make it too far as he was eliminated in the audition round, but it hasn't dampened his enthusiasm or his hunger to make people laugh.
While he bills himself as "A Hungarian-American just trying to figure it all out," it all keeps coming back to the cat jokes.
"I get messages all the time from crazy cat people across the country who send me pictures of their cats," he said on his website. "I respond to all of them. I'm running out of things to say to people's cats, but it's a good problem to have."

La Samaritane
In: French Antique Furniture, French Culture
La Samaritane Scheduled to Reopen
For years, one of the world's most iconic and historic department stores sat empty along the banks of the Seine in Paris; an imposing ghostly shell of former retail splendour, a giant sleeping elephant in the room occupying prime real estate in the heart of the city.
When I heard that renovation works were finally set to begin again after numerous false starts and lengthy delays I was pleased. It was a beautiful building that deserved ressurection.
The Art Nouveau Splendor Palace.
I remember shopping at the Samaritaine before it closed. It had grown old and dingy even then, but it did have everything and anything. I think I was looking for fabric or something. When I learned the icon of Parisian shopping was closing it confirmed the sad state of trying to run a business under the current bureaucratic nightmare of a government in France. I was pleased to learn it was reopening under the umbrella of the fashion giant LVMH, spearheaded by French billionaire Bernard Arnault. (He owns most of the fashion houses in Europe now, including Dior, Louis Vuitton, Celine and too many to list). At least Arnault knows how to operate under the system that's bleeding the country dry and still make money.

The origins of La Samaritaine is another rags to riches story. The founder Ernest Cognacq, started out his career selling ties under a red umbrella on the Pont Neuf, until 1869, when he heard about a space for let in a petite room next to a café he frequented on the nearby Rue de la Monnaie. He took the offer, opened a small clothing boutique and recruited his wife as his first employee, who had been working as a saleswoman in the confectionary aisles at Le Bon Marché. I wonder if the couple knew then that the famous department store where she left her job would come to be their greatest competitor.
By the dawn of the twentieth century, just thirty years on from Cognacq's humble beginnings as a smalltime tradesman on the Seine, the couple had expanded their enterprise, giving birth to the large edifice seen today, the "Grands Magasins de La Samaritaine".
A clever and ambitious businessman, he steadily acquired neighbouring buildings around him and soon enough, entire city blocks were being reworked and reconstructed to make space for his growing empire.
La Samaritaine was an art nouveau palace of retail, the ideally organised and managed department store, arranged as a collection of individually owned stores, each managed by "petits patrons" that operated in harmony but autonomously.
Cognacq used revolutionary marketing techniques, attracting the crowds with "deal of the day" and started doing what might seem obvious to us today– price-labelling the items.
La Samaritaine became Paris' leading department store and was at its peak during the interwar period, when nearly 20,000 people were under its employ.
It occupied four buildings between the river and the rue de Rivoli, living up to the famous slogan later coined for the department store; "On trouve tout à la Samaritaine" – One can find everything in La Samaritaine."
There was even a gymnasium and a nursery. That's something you won't find in the chic Vancouver 'Nordstroms'!
I will look forward to the opening of the new Samaratine. They promise to leave all the Art Nouveau splendor that went into building the original palace of luxury shopping. Maybe it will be that way again maybe it won't. We'll see now won't we.


Aris Spanos, my colleague and co-author (Economics),recently came across this seemingly anonymous review of our Error and Inference (2010) [E & I]. It's interesting that the reviewer remarks that "The book gives a sense of security regarding the future of statistical science and its importance in many walks of life." I wish I knew just what the reviewer means–but it's appreciated regardless.
The following are chapters in E & I (2010) written by Mayo and/or Spanos, if you're interested. If you produce a palindrome meeting the extremely simple requirements for May (by May 25 or so), you can win a free copy!

The book is very successful in raising (more) awareness about the importance of statistical science, as well as (philosophical) issues that underlie statistical/scientific practice. Hence, reading the book gives valuable insight to discerning the future of statistical science, because it addresses methodological issues of scientific inquiry that directly affect the use of statistical science. I hope this helps in better understanding the reviewer's comments.
Thanks Nicole. Very kind of you. Do you happen to know the author of the review? I recently found another review I'd missed, this one by Staley. I should link it.
I am glad to help you. No, I do not know the author of the review. Sure, feel free to link the review by Staley. (I think you sent me the link to the review by Staley.) I have not read that review yet, but will definitely read it within the next few days.

MetaMask is a web browser add-on which enables anyone to run the Ethereum DApps without running the Ethereum full node. An Ethereum full node installation will take a lot of memory as well as time; so Metamask is a tool that eliminates the overburden of this hectic installation task. Initially, Metamask was available only for Google Chrome, but now it is available for Firefox and other popular web browsers.
This MetaMask addon provides a user interface for interacting with the blockchain. The user can connect to the Ethereum main network or 'testnet' or he may create his own private network and run Dapps on the blockchain.
MetaMask retrieves data from the blockchain and allows the users to manage the data securely.
But MetaMask will inject the web3.js to each page for accessing the ethereum blockchain by itself. This approach eliminates the effort of web3.js installation in the local system.
After adding the Metamask, the user can interact with Ethereum blockchain just like in the normal case. The user can create an account, access Ethereum DApps, or deploy once own DApp.
The Metamask provides a vault account for each user, this vault secures, stores and tightly controls access to tokens, password, certificates, API keys and other elements in blockchain apps.The vault account act as a second level encryption for the user account.
The Metamask will provide a group of 12 words "wallet seed" while installing it. It is the user credential and it must be stored somewhere safe. The users can also create passwords for their account.
The wallet seed or the password is necessary to log in to the MetaMask. The vault account will encrypt the user metadata and securely store it in the browser itself.
The Metamask user interface has a default buy and send option for buying and sending ether. The user can buy or send ether through this interface. The user can access his wallet, check his balance and transactions from this interface.
When the user executes a transaction from the Metamask it will send the transaction to the respective blockchain network. Then the corresponding validation and confirmation will occur in the blockchain as usual. In the case of 'testnet' and main network, the user can see the transaction details and confirmations in the 'Etherscan.io'.
Here is an example of a transaction of Ether through Metamask.
For sending ether to an account you have to specify the recipient address and the amount to be transferred.
before linking your transactions to the blockchain the web3.js will ask your permission and the transaction will be submitted only after your approval.
From this window, the user can reset, submit or reject the transactions. Without the user response, the metamask will not perform any further operations. Once the user submits the transaction, it will be sent to the blockchain for validation. The transactions will be broadcasted to the nodes and once the validation is completed you can see the transaction details in the etherscan window. The window will display all the information regarding that transaction ie; block number, hash value, sender and recipient address, number of confirmations, gas units, transaction cost, nonce etc.
GNOSIS, MAKER, TOKEN FACTORY, CryptoKities etc. are some DApps that supports Metamask. Any developer can submit DApp in ethereum with Metamask support so that the user doesn't need to install the full ethereum node for accessing the particular app. The Metamask is the very useful tool for accessing Ethereum in low bandwidth networks. Let's hope the tool will expand the reach of 'ethereum' to more people.


HHO oxyhydrogen generator can be alternative gas generator for replacement of PLG,natural gas etc fuel oils.Okay Energy designed and developed the OH300,OH400,OH600 etc HHO generators for brass musical instrument soldering.For instrument making or simple repair, HHO brass solder is an idea choice both at instrument repair shop and instrument making factory.
How to Solder Brass Instruments?
Basically,there are two types of soldering brass instruments: (1) joint soldering if an instrument has received rough handling through marching and travel.(2) soldering of braces, finger rings and lyre holders that have come off. These are easy repairs that do not require a lot of knowledge.
1.Clean both parts that are to be soldered with a very fine emory cloth. Wipe off any dust and debris with a clean, soft cloth.
2.Use a small stiff-bristle wire brush to apply flux to both parts that are to be soldered. If two tubes are to be soldered together, join them. If one piece of brass is to be joined to another piece of brass, place the piece that needs to be soldered in place and secure with a metal clamp.
3.Use a propane torch to heat the pieces that are to be soldered until the solder flows into the space between the two pieces. (Brass melts at a very high temperature, so you aren't going to melt the brass with the torch.) As soon as the solder starts to melt, remove it to avoid accumulating excess solder and having it run out of the joint.
4.Allow the area to cool completely and wash off any excess flux with cold water and dishwashing detergent.

William P. Suitor joined Bell Aerosystems as a rocketbelt test pilot in 1964 and has flown over 1200 flights without serious injury. Suitor, was hired by Bell to prove to the United States Army that an average, draft-age GI could fly a rocketbelt with little or no previous flight training. Bell Aerosystems was responding to a solicitation from the Army's Transportation Command in Fort Eustis, Virginia for a unique device known as the SRLD or Small Rocket Lift Device to be used by specialized troops.
The device was envisioned as a tactical/rescue vehicle with one main requirement, being ease of use and training. Wendell F. Moore, the lead engineer and the inventor of Bell Aerosystems' SRLD considered Suitor a perfect choice.
Bill Suitor flew as an official member of the well-known Bell Aerosystems Rocketbelt Flying Team from 1964-69 and demonstrated it's unique flying characteristics in over 13 countries worldwide.
In order to develop this new generation rocketbelt, Amarenaformed Thunderbolt Aerosystems, Inc. in 1997 with the financial help of two partners. The company's mission is to design and manufacture personal flight machines for entertainment, pleasure and rescue purposes. Its first model was dubbed ThunderPack®-R1G2 (Revision-1; Generation-2) was sold in 2003 to a large corporation in the far east, with intentions to use the R1G2 for rescue purposes.
Suitor's distinctions also include working on the Apollo Lunar Program, testing different variations of the rocketbelt that were being considered for use by NASA's Apollo Astronauts. One of these devices known as the L.E.A.P. or Lunar Escape Astronaut Pogo was designed to provide lunar astronauts with a means of leaving the surface of the moon should the Bell designed rocket ascent engine fail on the Lunar Module.
Following his career with Bell Aerosystems in 1969, Suitor joined the American Screen Actors Guild and began to fly the Tyler (based on Bell's rocketpack made by California inventor Nelson Tyler) rocketbelt for television and motion pictures. Some of his credits include: "Thunderball" the James Bond thriller starring Sean Connery, "Lost in Space", "Gilligan's Island", "The Fall Guy", "The Six Million Dollar Man", "The A-Team", "Newhart" and many other guest spots and commercials.
the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, California.
His most spectacular flight was at the Los Angeles 1984 Olympic Games where Suitor demonstrated "flight without wings" in front of a worldwide audience of two billion people. Later in early 1995, Suitor flew the maiden only flight of a rocketbelt (designed from Bell Aerospace patents) manufactured by American Rocket Belt of Houston, TX. Suitor holds all records of altitude, distance and speed for the rocketbelt and has been recently recognized for his achievements and contributions by the Society of Experimental Test Pilots. In 1997 Bill Suitor was contacted by Carmelo "Nino" Amarena chief designer at Thunderbolt Aerosystems in California, and asked him to be the official test pilot for their new generation rocketbelt dubbed "ThunderPack", being readied to fly in the fall of 2001. Suitor tested the first revision of this second generation (TP-R1G2) rocketbelt successfully. The lessons learned with these designed engineering tests, led the development of a second revision of the ThunderPack with many of Suitor's design changes suggestions. He is currently retired from his employment at the New York State Power Authority and lives in Youngstown, New York with his wife Cheryl. He has recently written an autobiography of his many experiences as one of the 'original' rocketmen.

BLACKPINK's Lisa Can't Stop Gushing About Her Friendship With iKON And Featuring In Their "Kingdom" Performance
They are the YG Family!
When it comes to the big K-Pop companies, one of the "Big 3" agencies is YG Entertainment. With acts like BIGBANG, iKON, BLACKPINK, AKMU, and TREASURE, to name a few, they have definitely caught the attention of fans for their family-like relationship.
In particular, two groups who fans always love seeing interactions between iKON and BLACKPINK!
BLACKPINK's Jisoo and iKON for LG
Recently, BLACKPINK's Lisa sat down in an interview with Teen Vogue and discussed everything from her new album, her confidence, and much more. In particular, she spoke about her friendship with iKON and her performance with them on Mnet's Kingdom.
Her appearance during the show had netizens gushing after she joined iKON in their rendition of BLACKPINK's "Pretty Savage," which they renamed "Classy Savage."
| Mnet/ YouTube
In the interview, Lisa explained how excited she was at the idea of being able to perform with them, even before she knew that they were performing a BLACKPINK song.
Knowing that iKON would appear on Kingdom, I wanted to perform with them. I was rooting for them. After hearing that they are going to cover BLACKPINK's song, we were able to do it together. The performance came out really nice.
After the article was released, fans couldn't get enough of Lisa's humble attitude and respect for iKON, who is the group's seniors. Yet, it isn't the first time netizens have loved the friendship between the two.
When Lisa appeared on Kingdom, Mnet showed the idols after the performance, and the iKON members couldn't stop praising Lisa.
| Mnet
Even before the performance was aired, in a video posted on Weverse, Bobby, who has worked with Lisa for many years, explained, "A truly unexpected and precious person will come. Queen of the Stage."
With so much respect and love between these groups, there is no denying why they are two of the biggest acts in K-Pop, showcasing their own style and identity through music. Hopefully, when their schedules are less hectic, fans can get more BLACKPINK x iKON interactions.
You can read more about Lisa's appearance on Kingdom below.

Last week I had the pleasure of returning to the Maison Renoir, the family home that was a beloved place of relaxation and retreat for the Renoir family for many years, and which was restored and opened to the public in 2017.
The home has been lovingly restored and "staged" in such a way as to give the impression that the family has simply stepped outside for a leisurely stroll around the town in the early 1900s.
With the opening of the home to the public two years ago, the village has also been able, for the first time, to offer visitors to Essoyes the pleasure of seeing original Renoir works of art. Each summer since 2017, collections from museums in France have loaned works, and they have been on display to visitors in the room that was previously the family's dining room, and is now able to display artwork in museum conditions.
This year it looks as though several works of art may make the long journey from the United States to be shown here during the summer months. We don't know yet which works will be on loan, or exactly when they will arrive. So you'll have to just stay tuned for more about that.
In the meantime visitors to Essoyes can enjoy a lovely collection of etchings, mostly by Renoir; but there is also a portrait by Conrad Slade, an etching of Renoir by Pierre Bonnard, and a note written by Renoir to the mayor of Troyes that is in itself a work of art.

An exciting calendar of special events is being planned to take place in and around Essoyes this year, in recognition of the centenary of the death of Pierre-Auguste Renoir. In particular, anyone who can be here July 6-7 will have the great pleasure of experiencing Essoyes à la Belle Epoque. I was lucky to be here when the village presented an elaborate village-wide "reenactment" for the first time, in 2017. Here's my report of that wonderful event.

I'd like to close with a note of relief and deep gratitude that despite the terrible destruction that occurred in the fire at Notre Dame de Paris earlier this week–which touched (and broke!) the hearts of people around the world–thanks to the incredibly brave and brilliant work of 500 firefighters in Paris, the main structure has survived, and the process of planning for the repair of the cathedral is already underway.
Dare I say a Hallelujah for that?
A beautiful, heartfelt response to the terrible fire at Notre Dame de Paris last night by someone who knows it well..
Well, after six weeks away–nearly a week in Paris in February, followed by five weeks in Washington–I am back home in Essoyes.
And it is very good to be home again.
That is not to say that my time away was bad, not at all!
I always love time spent in Paris. ("I'm always just a little bit happier when I'm in Paris," is how I think of it.) This time in addition to all the usual enjoyable diversions, I got to see a dear old friend who was there at the same time I was quite by accident. How wonderful it was to see him, and have a chance to catch up on our lives, and the news of our families!
Then I had a wonderfully rich, productive, interesting, and fun few weeks spent in the Washington D.C. area.
This time I was there (once again) primarily to deal with the unending saga of The Storage Locker That Will Not Be Emptied. I have ceased to be embarrassed about this, and have decided to be grateful instead. Not only has that storage locker allowed me to hold onto some very special things–mostly personal papers, photographs, etc. that I need for my work, along with some precious family memories–but it has also forced me to return to Washington every year or so for at least a few weeks. And that time has allowed me to deepen friendships I left behind, and even make some new friends.
I'm grateful to so many people for the kindness and generosity they extended to me in a variety of ways during my time there: more specific thanks will be coming to them in the days and weeks ahead. For now I'll just say that among other highlights of my time there I was able to reconnect with my dear "Frenchies" (the French conversation group I started seven years ago, still going strong); teach two classes at Politics and Prose Bookstore (one about "getting along" in France, the other a mini Writing from the Heart session); and enjoy a "Demystifying the French" book signing party that some very kind friends hosted for me a few days before I returned to France.
Colet Mitchell, wonderful host! and Susan Land, wonderful writer!
Beth Mann, neighbor in DC and in France!
They even asked me to read, what joy!
Me and "my" dear Frenchies!
I am truly a bit overwhelmed by it all. I don't really feel deserving of such kindness, generosity, and enthusiasm about my book: but I am very grateful for it.
But, as I said. I'm back home now.
After the meeting I walked home, heading into a beautiful, quiet, pinkish sky; past fields of wheat that can only be that kind of green in early spring.
And it was very lovely.
If you're in Paris you can buy it at the wonderful indie bookstore The Red Wheelbarrow, in a lovely location right across the street from the Luxembourg Gardens….


What is your background and how did you become involved in ESID?
I did a degree in Political Science at the University of Ghana followed by a Masters in Public Administration in Norway. I did my PHD at York University , UK, with Adrian Leftwich and it was there that I first met ESID researchers, Kunal Sen and Henry Chingaipe.
I had always wanted to go back to Ghana. My family are there and if you are specialising in politics and institutional reform, it's very important to know how governance processes operate on the ground. I became a lecturer in public administration at the University of Ghana.
I met ESID researcher Abdulai Abdul-Gafaru at the University and we agreed to collaborate on ESID's public sector reform project.
What is your work for ESID and what is most interesting about it?
I take a problem solving approach to research. I see my role as helping students to understand structures of public administration in Ghana, why many are not working effectively and how we can make them work better.
What areas of the public sector are not working well in Ghana?
We need competent personnel. Some civil service personnel are recruited through a merits-based system, but as politics has become competitive, we've seen the recruitment of the elite through connections and political networks. This weakens the capacity of the civil service to effectively formulate and implement policy.
Part of the blame lies with public universities. There are huge numbers of students, and too few lecturers. A lecturer will have 500-600 students, so exams become multiple choice, because it would be impossible to mark so many essays and give one-to-one feedback. Students do a degree without ever writing an essay.
These students cannot be expected to critically analyse the problems that the public sector faces. Universities need to provide well trained graduates with sharp analytical abilities to help our government move forward.
Our ESID research does suggest, however, that there are ongoing reforms to address some of these problems. One of these is tracking the number of people employed in the public sector.
What's happening in Ghana's development domain?
There is little locally-owned development focus driving public sector reform. Reform projects are largely driven by donors and foreign consultants, who may have little knowledge of the key problems and also little incentive to design long-term development objectives. There can also be a lack of coordination and cooperation between donors.
In recent years there has been an attempt to have a clear development focus for Ghana. An organisation called the National Development Planning Commission are working on a long-term development focus, around which the public agencies can be well organised to drive forward Ghana's development and here too DIFD is coming in with its support.
ESID's research programme has also been beneficial to the Ghana DFID team, helping them to see gaps they didn't see initially.
What's happening in Ghana's health domain?
My wife is a midwife and the public health sector is one of the few well-functioning areas in Ghana. But there is also a problem here of donor-driven reforms that aren't linked to long-term efforts to recruit competent health personnel.
Currently there is a donor-funded programme that trains high-school graduates to become health assistants, but the length and content of the syllabus is not up to the standard of the traditional training given to nurses.
As one of the well-functioning sectors in Ghana, the health domain needs to have serious attention paid to it, so that it doesn't also deteriorate.
The constitution gives too much power to the president to elect the elite of the public service. Every new president comes in with his own party and wants to fill positions with his own party loyalists. This prevents continuity and at the same time competent personnel from the previous government are sidelined.
Development and politics has become an exclusive club for the government. I recently gave an assignment to students to speak to senior-level civil servants about the problems within the sector.
Interestingly, all students came back with the same feedback, which was that people are afraid to speak up without the go ahead from a chief officer or minister. Unless this is addressed, there is no way that Ghana's development will become sustainable.
Life has been a continuous process of education and academia, with little time to stop. One of the professors wrote in the recommendation for my PhD application, 'He is very good, but whoever supervises him should pay attention to the lack of balance between academic work and socialising'. I told him he was spot on!
I have two children aged 5 and 2 and I enjoy travelling abroad with my wife to visit family. I also love farming and I miss it. I grew up on a farm and farmed with my parents. I love being an academic though, and being involved in ESID research has inspired me to stay in academia long term.

Q: What are the conditions for two vectors to be equal? I am going through a derivation of a physics theorem (particulars are not important). It involves a sphere centered at the origin. The observation is made that $\hat{n} = \hat{r}$ (unit normal to surface of sphere vector and unit radial vector, respectively).
My understanding is that a vector (in physics contexts) is defined by magnitude and direction. The vectors are obviously parallel and the same magnitude. However, it bothers me that no reference to the "position" of the vectors is made. And, that it is conceivable to have $\hat{r}$ located with tail at the origin and $\hat{n}$ located at the surface of the sphere even if they are parallel and same magnitude.
If we consider vectors in a linear algebra context, it seems like this problem doesn't even exist since they are more abstract objects not necessarily existing in cartesian space, for example (at least to my understanding).

*

*Is there a rigorous way of understanding if/why two vectors can be equal even if they have different locations? Maybe more generally, what is the role of location when considering vectors?

*How can I connect these two "interpretations" of vectors? Am I missing some assumptions that we make when deciding to use vectors in physics? Or, plain wrong.

A: Here is a mathematical approach. Let us stick with $\mathbb{R}^{2}$.
We can identify a line segment in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ as a pair of ordered pairs $(a,b)\in\mathbb{R}^{2}$ and $(c,d)\in\mathbb{R}^{2}$ where $(a,b)$ denotes the origin of the line segment and $(c,d)$ indicates its end.
Based on such definition, we establish the following relation: the line segments $((a,b),(c,d))$ and $((e,f),(g,h))$ are related iff the following relation holds:
\begin{align*}
(c,d) - (a,b) = (g,h) - (e,f)
\end{align*}
It can be proven that such relation is an equivalence relation, that is to say, reflexive, symmetric and transitive. We are now able to define the concept of a vector. Given an ordered pair $v = ((a,b),(c,d))$, the corresponding vector associated to it is the equivalence class:
\begin{align*}
[v] = \{((e,f),(g,h))\in\mathbb{R}^{2}\times\mathbb{R}^{2} : v \sim ((e,f),(g,h))\}
\end{align*}
Thus two vectors are equal if they represent the same equivalence class.
Hopefully this helps!

A: In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Dramatic quotes aside, I think the question of whether or not vectors are 'fixed' somewhere in space is pretty much just a matter of definition. Since it can be a source of confusion for students, some textbooks are beginning (at early stages of the book) to clearly make the distinction.
For instance, in Vector Calculus by Marsden and Tromba (one of the main multivariable calculus books used in western universities), they define vectors as follows (pg. 6 in 6th edition):
'Vectors (also called free vectors) are directed line segments in [the plane or] space represented by directed line segments with a beginning (tail) and an end (head). Directed line segments obtained from each other by parallel translation (but not rotation) represent the same vector. When we insist on vectors beginning at the origin, we will say that we have bound vectors.'
I suppose it follows that when you want to consider a vector fixed at a  point other than the origin, you would just say something like 'the vector with tail at the point $(1,0)$' or something like that, but it isn't specified.

A: In the usual formulation of general vectors mathematically, i.e. as elements of a vector space, vectors do not have such a thing as "positions", any more than ordinary numbers do. You don't need a "position" to say that the temperatures taken at two different points in a room are equal, so a pair of vectors that apply at two different points don't likewise need "positions", either, to call them "equal".
The relevant property of vectors is that you can "add" them to "positions" or better, points. In particular, if $P$ is a point and $\mathbf{v}$ is a vector, then $P + \mathbf{v}$ is another point that is $|\mathbf{v}|$ distant from it, and away from $P$ toward the direction encoded in $\mathbf{v}$. Coordinatewise, if $P = (P_x, P_y)$ and $\mathbf{v} = \langle v_x, v_y \rangle$ then $P + \mathbf{v} = (P_x + v_x, P_y + v_y)$.
In the physics context, vectors like force and velocity that do not directly have units (or physical dimension) of position cannot, of course, be added to positions, but ultimately they relate to them in some other more indirect way that is still consistent with this, often involving combinations with other vectors, and constants that, when multiplied by, change their physical dimension. Of course, in your case, both vectors do have such units, so it makes sense to talk about them that way, but it's important to keep in mind regarding things like force, velocity, and so forth.
In the geometric context, to say the "vector is normal" is to actually say that the segment created by applying that vector is normal to the surface at the given point, i.e. the segment $\overline{PQ}$ with $Q = P + \mathbf{v}$ when $P$ is the desired point on the surface. Another, equivalent way, that is more directly "vectorish", is that a vector is normal to a plane if the vector is normal to any vector which translates a point in the plane to any other point in the plane, and for curved surfaces of course, the natural extension of both of these is via the tangent plane.
So how are two vectors equal? Generally, any two mathematical objects are equal if all characterizing data are identical between them. For vectors, the characteristics that are relevant are magnitude and direction, though the latter is kind of hard to formulate, so it is often simpler to instead characterize them by their Cartesian components from the start, viz. for any vector $\mathbf{v}$, $\mathbf{v}$ is defined formally as the ordered pair $\langle v_x, v_y \rangle$, where we've used the angle brackets to indicate the semantic difference versus a coordinate point. That is, the vector is this object, for the purposes of mathematical manipulation. Since these data completely characterize the vector, if we have another $\mathbf{u}$ with $\mathbf{u} = \langle u_x, u_y \rangle$, then $\mathbf{u} = \mathbf{v}$ if and only if $u_x = v_x$ and $u_y = v_y$.

A: I do agree with you that this isn't covered very well in physics textbooks.
The rigorous way of understanding how vectors can be equal even if they are in different locations is that equality of located vectors is an equivalence relation.
A reference I found useful was "Calculus of several variables" by Serge Lang. It starts off describing located vectors as pairs of points, then goes on to define a vector as being an $n$-tuple of reals whose magnitude and direction can be compared without specifying the location.

[I] Nov. 1830-Mar. 1833, with seat in cabinet June 1831; sec. of state for war and colonies Apr. 1833-May 1834, Sept. 1841-Dec. 1845; first ld. of treasury 27 Feb.-28 Dec. 1852, 26 Feb. 1858-18 June 1859, 6 July 1866-29 Feb. 1868.
Ld. rect. Glasgow Univ. 1834-6; Sloane trustee, Brit. Mus. 1835-66; chan. Oxf. Univ. 1852-d.; elder bro. Trinity House 1852-d.
His first known votes were given against the military and naval pensions bill, 14 Apr., and for repeal of the Foreign Enlistment Act, 16 Apr. 1823. Like his father, who presumably took him under his wing, he was in the majorities for inquiry into the legal proceedings against the Dublin Orange rioters, 22 Apr., and against another into the currency, 12 June. He divided for parliamentary reform, 24 Apr. 1823, and alteration of the representation of Edinburgh, 26 Feb. 1824, 13 Apr. 1826. He voted for inquiry prior to the introduction of the Irish insurrection bill, 12 May, and to condemn the conduct of the lord advocate in the Borthwick case, 3 June 1823, and the lord chancellor over a breach of privilege, 1 Mar. 1824. He may sometimes have been confused in the parliamentary reports with Lord Stanley, who was more assiduous on local business, but on 25 Mar. he brought up several Lancashire anti-slavery petitions and one from Preston against the combination laws; having reverted to the latter the following day, he accepted the congratulations offered afterwards by Canning, who wrote to his wife on the 28th that 'they tell me he is by no means violently hostile'.9 He made an admirable maiden speech, defending his father's handling of the Manchester gas light bill, 30 Mar., when Sir James Mackintosh publicly praised him and Hudson Gurney* privately recorded that he was 'the most promising practical beginner I have heard'.10 To his grandfather's distress, he spoke and voted against Hume's motion attacking the Irish church establishment, 6 May, after which Charles Williams Wynn*, president of the India board, commented that it was 'the fashion of the opposition to bemoan the hard fate of poor Lord Derby in seeing his grandson act for himself and profess so much attachment to the church; his speech was really first rate'.11 He slightly qualified his remarks, 11 May, when he was named to the select committee on the state of Ireland, and that month it was stated that George Tierney*, the former Whig leader, 'raves of his cleverness and promise'.12 He voted with opposition to condemn the trial of the Methodist missionary John Smith in Demerara, 11 June 1824.
In what was politely considered a wild scheme, Smith Stanley and the other young 'fashionables' John Evelyn Denison*, Henry Labouchere* and John Stuart Wortley* left England in June 1824 for an extensive and reflective tour of the United States and Canada.13 He returned early the following year with a marked aversion to slavery and a sense of regret that, unlike the potential solution available of establishing a Catholic church in Canada, no such arrangement could be made in Ireland without endangering the Protestant religion there.14 Anxious to be back before any possible dissolution, he was present to vote for Catholic relief, 21 Apr., 10 May 1825. According to his notebook of parliamentary proceedings, he divided to raise the elective franchise in Ireland, of which he wrote that he 'would have voted for it independently of the Catholic question', 26 Apr., and for paying Catholic priests, the other proposed 'wing', 29 Apr.15 He was in the minority against the grant for the duke of Cumberland, 27 May 1825. Derby having waived any objections to his taking the daughter of a Tory neighbour in wedlock, he married on the 31st and for a time resided on the family estate at Ballykisteen, county Tipperary, where he rebuilt the mansion house. Although living in isolation there, he further developed his interests in Irish affairs, especially about the parlous state of the poor and the iniquities of tithe-holders and non-resident landlords, which he hoped could be partially alleviated through schemes of assisted emigration. Intending to remain at his father-in-law's till after the start of the new session, he doubted there would be much to dispute in Parliament.16 Apart from moving the unsuccessful wrecking amendment against the Liverpool and Manchester railway bill, 6 Apr., his only significant speech that year was on 8 May, in support of the ministerial plan for the emergency admission of foreign corn, to which he briefly urged a minor amendment, 11, 12 May 1826.
Yet Wellington's declaration against reform, 2 Nov., killed the negotiation, and Smith Stanley, who early the previous month had been advocating a stronger Whig union under Grey, at once became involved in the opposition preparations for Brougham's reform motion (on the 16th), which was expected to decide the duke's fate.50 He raised the expense of the Rideau Canal, 5 Nov., and the salary of the clerk of the council, 15 Nov. 1830, when, having been listed earlier by ministers among their 'foes', he divided in the majority on the civil list, which precipitated their resignation.
He defended schedule B and denied that the representation of agricultural areas would suffer by it, 2 Aug. 1831.
Optimistic about the prospects for reform, Smith Stanley, who was considered by Greville to hold the balance of power in the cabinet on the issue, sided with the moderates against asking the king for the immediate creation of 15 peers, 2 Jan. 1832.90 Rightly believed that month to be at loggerheads with a resentful Anglesey and to be willing to resign rather than to allow the spoliation of the Irish church, Ellenborough speculated that he might join a 'Waverer' administration and that 'if he would lead the House of Commons, they would make a very strong government and put Peel aside'.91 However, he again advocated reform on reintroducing the Irish bill, 19 Jan., when he explained the reasons for the additional five seats and the use of the 'beneficial interest' test, among other alterations, and insisted that the Protestant interest would not be overwhelmed by the increased Catholic electorate.92 Exercising a strict control over the proceedings in the committee on tithes, the subject which earned him the sobriquet 'scorpion Stanley' that year, he defended the decision to exclude Catholic Members from it against O'Connell's objections, 24 Jan.93 He dealt with complaints about the fees levied on Irish magistrates for renewing their commissions that day and again on 7 Feb., when Holland recorded that he showed his usual 'acuteness, self-possession, judgement and authority'.94 According to Littleton's account of the debate on Portugal, 9 Feb.
Whatever his personal reservations, he spoke twice for the second reading of the Irish reform bill, 25 May, and defended the use of the royal prerogative of creating peers, 5 June. Immersed in the details of the Irish measure, he repelled O'Connell's attempts to restore the county qualification to 40s. or at least lower it to £5 freeholders, 13, 18 June, and clashed with him over the leaseholder and freeman franchises, 25 June, 2 July. He provoked Protestant Tory opposition to his Irish party processions bill, 14, 25 June, but after announcing its postponement, 29 June, managed to carry it against last ditch resistance in the committee, 8 Aug. He expressed his sympathy for Sadler's motion to make provision for the Irish poor by a tax on absentees, but carried the previous question against it, 19 June. He attacked Peel for introducing party political considerations into the debate on the Ascot attack on the king, 20 June. O'Connell having threatened to have him impeached in the reformed Parliament, he made a lengthy rejoinder on his conduct towards Ireland during his speech vindicating government over the Russian-Dutch loan, 20 July, and reacted angrily to the Preston anti-tithes petition, got up by Hunt and presented by Sheil, which called for his removal from office, 3 Aug. 1832.
On his death in October 1869 he was succeeded in his title and estates by his eldest son Edward Henry (1826-93), who served under him and Disraeli as foreign secretary, but joined the Liberals in 1879 before ending his days a Unionist.

Scott Fox, best-selling author of Internet Riches, shares tips and tricks on determining if eBay is right for your e-business.
This is right on the money. I have spent a lot of time trying to make eBay produce a profit for me. So, it is good to know it is not just me.


Greetings from Lima. It's incredible to think of all that has happened in the past few weeks.
I'm grateful for safe travels from Huánuco to Lima, and then to another city for some Bible translation consultant training. While at the Lima retreat, I was able to network with many colleagues I hadn't met yet, as well as identify more causes of my high stress levels.
Today I'm wrapping up loose ends in Lima, and then getting on a night bus back to Huánuco, where plenty of work awaits! Please pray that God would continue to guide me in managing my stress levels.
Please also pray for a safe trip back, and that I will find an opportunity to spend some time in the village soon.
I keep seeing photos of the Pacific Northwest and of the Northeast, all covered deep in snow! Any way I can be praying for you?
