The Ben Simmons holdout presumably came to an end last night, with the former first overall pick showing up unexpectedly at the Wells Fargo Center as if he had just been a little late to join the team due to car trouble. Then, he met with team executives at the practice facility today, and will reportedly take a physical to start the process of rejoining the team:

So if Simmons actually does the improbable and rejoins the team, the question naturally arises, do you even want Ben back playing for the Sixers?
Sixers team leaders like Doc Rivers and Joel Embiid have consistently maintained that they hope Simmons rejoins the team. "We're a better team with him than without him, that's for sure," Embiid said just yesterday. In a vacuum, of course, this is true. Ben is a three-time All-Star and legitimate Defensive Player of the Year candidate. You'd be foolish to turn away such a player's services.
But we wouldn't be living in a vacuum; we'd be living in a post-Ben Simmons holdout world. Fans are going to boo him mercilessly at home games. Every night, his coach and teammates are going to have to answer Ben-related questions that aren't related to on-court X's and O's. Guys can say they're professionals and ready to move on, but it has to be awkward to play with someone who wouldn't even return your calls this summer. It'd be crazy to ignore the possibility that the whole thing could be a huge distraction that greatly affects the team's performance in a negative way. You also have to imagine Ben wouldn't be 100 percent engaged and playing at his highest level on the court.
After watching the Positive Good Vibes Sixers this preseason without Ben, part of me wonders if the team wouldn't be better off with him back in Los Angeles. Surround Embiid with four willing shooters like we saw against Brooklyn and let the good times roll, free of the Ben Simmons baggage.
Then, there's the question of Ben's trade value, whether or not he returns. In a report from The Athletic's Sam Amick yesterday, he speculated a return to action could benefit Simmons's value:
"If you're someone who's heading a front office and contemplating a four-year partnership with him, you may want an updated sense of both his game and the psyche that has become such a massive part of the conversation that surrounds him. Especially after his ill-fated finish in the playoffs."
Under this thought process, Atlanta was one series and Ben was going through some difficult things in his personal life at the time. Now, remind everyone of what Ben Simmons, the basketball player, brings to the table, put the Hawks series further in the past, and watch the improved offers roll in.
Of course, an obvious flip side exists. What if the struggles aren't in the past? What if we're looking at some version of the yips? Not only would Simmons' dip in performance against Atlanta be on his resume, but it could suddenly become his status quo, with not even the idea of Ben Simmons, premium regular season floor raiser, in opposing executives' minds. We have joked that his trade value couldn't get any worse, but in reality, it could. Plus, the possibility of injury always exist, and would likely be slightly higher for a guy who didn't go through the majority of training camp as a needed ramp-up for the season. The last thing the Sixers would want when shopping Simmons is a physical impediment to add to the Amazon description.
As much of the Simmons situation has been, things are complicated. So where do you fall? Do you want Ben to take the court, play through the awkwardness and boos and maybe help the Sixers win some additional games while improving his trade value? Or do you want him to hop on a flight back to California, let the younger guys get extended run, and just wait for some team to fall into a hole in the standings and decide the risk is worth the potential reward in a trade? Let us know below.
Do you want Ben Simmons to retake the court with the Sixers?

A prophecy is a message that is claimed by a prophet to have been communicated to them by a deity. Such messages typically involve inspiration, interpretation, or revelation of divine will concerning the prophet's social world and events to come (compare divine knowledge). All known ancient cultures had prophets who delivered prophecies.
In 1863, Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, claimed to have been the promised messianic figure of all previous religions, and a Manifestation of God, a type of prophet in the Bahá'í writings that serves as intermediary between the divine and humanity and who speaks with the voice of a god. Bahá'u'lláh claimed that, while being imprisoned in the Siyah-Chal in Iran, he underwent a series of mystical experiences including having a vision of the Maid of Heaven who told him of his divine mission, and the promise of divine assistance; In Bahá'í belief, the Maid of Heaven is a representation of the divine.
The Haedong Kosung-jon (Biographies of High Monks) records that King Beopheung of Silla had desired to promulgate Buddhism as the state religion. However, officials in his court opposed him. In the fourteenth year of his reign, Beopheung's "Grand Secretary", Ichadon, devised a strategy to overcome court opposition. Ichadon schemed with the king, convincing him to make a proclamation granting Buddhism official state sanction using the royal seal. Ichadon told the king to deny having made such a proclamation when the opposing officials received it and demanded an explanation. Instead, Ichadon would confess and accept the punishment of execution, for what would quickly be seen as a forgery. Ichadon prophesied to the king that at his execution a wonderful miracle would convince the opposing court faction of Buddhism's power. Ichadon's scheme went as planned, and the opposing officials took the bait. When Ichadon was executed on the 15th day of the 9th month in 527, his prophecy was fulfilled; the earth shook, the sun was darkened, beautiful flowers rained from the sky, his severed head flew to the sacred Geumgang mountains, and milk instead of blood sprayed 100 feet in the air from his beheaded corpse. The omen was accepted by the opposing court officials as a manifestation of heaven's approval, and Buddhism was made the state religion in 527.
In ancient Chinese, prophetic texts are known as Chen (谶). The most famous Chinese prophecy is the Tui bei tu (推背圖).
The New Testament refers to prophecy as one of the spiritual gifts given by the indwelling Holy Spirit. From this, many Christians believe that the gift of prophecy is the supernatural ability to receive and convey a message from God. The purpose of the message may be to "edify, exhort and comfort" the members of the Church. In this context, not all prophecies contain predictions about the future. The Apostle Paul teaches in First Corinthians that prophecy is for the benefit of the whole Church and not just of the individual exercising the gift.
According to Walter Brueggemann, the task of prophetic (Christian) ministry is to nurture, nourish and evoke a consciousness and perception alternative to the consciousness and perception of the dominant culture. A recognized form of Christian prophecy is the "prophetic drama" which Frederick Dillistone describes as a "metaphorical conjunction between present situations and future events".
Latter Day Saint movement
The Latter Day Saint movement maintains that its first prophet, Joseph Smith, was visited by God and Jesus Christ in 1820. The Latter Day Saints further claims that God communicated directly with Joseph Smith on many subsequent occasions, and that following the death of Joseph Smith God has continued to speak through subsequent prophets. Joseph Smith claims to have been led by an angel to a large hill in upstate New York, where he was shown an ancient manuscript engraved on plates of gold metal. Joseph Smith claimed to have translated this manuscript into modern English under divine inspiration by the gift and power of God, and the publication of this translation are known as the Book of Mormon.
Following Smith's murder, there was a succession crisis that resulted in a great schism. The majority of Latter-day Saints believing Brigham Young to be the next prophet and following him out to Utah, while a minority returned to Missouri with Emma Smith, believing Joseph Smith Junior's son, Joseph Smith III, to be the next legitimate prophet (forming the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, now the Community of Christ). Since even before the death of Joseph Smith in 1844, there have been numerous separatist Latter Day Saint sects that have splintered from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. To this day, there are an unknown number of organizations within the Latter Day Saint Movement, each with their own proposed prophet.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) is the largest Latter Day Saint body. The current Prophet/President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Russell M. Nelson. The church has, since Joseph Smith's death on June 27, 1844, held a belief that the president of their church is also a literal prophet of God, and the only true prophet on the earth. The church also maintains that further revelations claimed to have been given through Joseph Smith are published in the Doctrine and Covenants, one of the Standard Works. Additional revelations and prophecies outside the Standard Works, such as Joseph Smith's "White Horse Prophecy", concerning a great and final war in the United States before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, can be found in other church published works.
The Arabic term for prophecy nubuwwa (Arabic: نُبُوَّة) occurs five times in the Quran and stems from the term for prophets, nabī (Arabic: نَبِي; pl. anbiyā' from nabā "tidings, announcement") who are lawbringers that Muslims believe were sent by God to every person, bringing God's message in a language they can understand. But there is also the term rasūl (Arabic: رسول "messenger, apostle") to classify those who bring a divine revelation (Arabic: رسالة risālah "message") via an angel. Knowledge of the Islamic prophets is one of the six articles of the Islamic faith, and specifically mentioned in the Quran. Along with Muhammad, many of the prophets in Judaism (such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, Aaron, Elijah, etc.) and prophets of Christianity (Adam, Zechariah the priest, John the Baptist, Jesus Christ) are mentioned by name in the Quran.
In the sense of predicting events, the Quran contains verses believed to have predicted many events years before they happened and that such prophecies are proof of the divine origin of the Qur'an. The Qur'an itself states "For every announcement there is a term, and ye will come to know." Muslims also recognize the validity of some prophecies in other sacred texts like in the Bible; however, they believe that, unlike the Qur'an, some parts of the Bible have been corrupted over the years, and as a result, not all of the prophecies and verses in the Bible are accurate.
The Hebrew term for prophet, Navi, literally means "spokesperson"; he speaks to the people as a mouthpiece of their God, and to their god on behalf of the people. "The name prophet, from the Greek meaning "forespeaker" (πρὸ being used in the original local sense), is an equivalent of the Hebrew נבוא, which signifies properly a delegate or mouthpiece of another." A major theme of the Nevi'im is social justice.
According to Judaism, authentic Nevuah (Heb.: נבואה, "Prophecy") got withdrawn from the world after the destruction of the first Jerusalem Temple. Malachi is acknowledged to have been the last authentic prophet if one accepts the opinion that Nechemyah died in Babylon before 9th Tevet 3448 (313 BCE).
The Torah contains laws concerning the false prophet (Deuteronomy 13:2-6, 18:20-22). Prophets in Islam like Lot, for example, are false prophets according to Jewish standards.
In the Torah, prophecy often consisted of a conditioned warning by their God of the consequences should the society, specific communities, or their leaders not adhere to Torah's instructions in the time contemporary with the prophet's life. Prophecies sometimes included conditioned promises of blessing for obeying their god, and returning to behaviors and laws as written in the Torah. Conditioned warning prophecies feature in all Jewish works of the Tanakh.
Notably Maimonides, philosophically suggested there once were many levels of prophecy, from the highest such as those experienced by Moses, to the lowest where the individuals were able to apprehend the Divine Will, but not respond or even describe this experience to others, citing in example, Shem, Eber and most notably, Noah, who, in biblical narrative, does not issue prophetic declarations.
Native American prophecy
There exists a problem in verifying most Native American prophecy, in that they remain primarily an oral tradition, and thus there is no way to cite references of where writings have been committed to paper. In their system, the best reference is an Elder, who acts as a repository of the accumulated wisdom of their tradition.
In another type of example, it is recorded that there are three Dogrib prophets who had claimed to have been divinely inspired to bring the message of Christianity's God to their people. This prophecy among the Dogrib involves elements such as dances and trance-like states.
Esoteric prophecy has been claimed for, but not by, Michel de Nostredame, popularly referred to as Nostradamus, who claimed to be a converted Christian. It is known that he suffered several tragedies in his life, and was persecuted to some degree for his cryptic esoteric writings about the future, reportedly derived through a use of a crystal ball. Nostradamus was a French apothecary and reputed seer who published collections of foreknowledge of future events. He is best known for his book Les Propheties ("The Prophecies"), the first edition of which appeared in 1555. Since its publication, Nostradamus has attracted an esoteric following that, along with the popularistic press, credits him with foreseeing world events. His esoteric cryptic foreseeings have in some cases been assimilated to the results of applying the alleged Bible code, as well as to other purported pseudo-prophetic works.
Most reliable academic sources maintain that the associations made between world events and Nostradamus's quatrains are largely the result of misinterpretations or mistranslations (sometimes deliberate) or else are so tenuous as to render them useless as evidence of any genuine predictive power. Moreover, none of the sources listed offers any evidence that anyone has ever interpreted any of Nostradamus's pseudo-prophetic works specifically enough to allow a clear identification of any event in advance.

Q: Java exits abruptly on a Windows 11 VM (host is M1 Mac) I'm having a very odd issue with Java exiting abruptly and randomly.
I have a Macbook with M1 system (2021 model), with 32GB RAM. I'm running a Windows 11 (ARM64 Insider Preview) VM with Parallels. I have 16GB of RAM allocated for the VM, and 6 cores. I have Liberica JDK 8 (full with JavaFX) installed both on the host and the VM. I'm developing a multi-module Maven project, same project on both the host side and the VM side (the project depends on some Windows side things for some tasks, which is the reason I'm running the Windows VM on the side).
Output from java -version:
openjdk version "1.8.0_332"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_332-b09)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.332-b09, mixed mode)

I've also tried with Azul JDK and had the same issue with it.
On the host side everything works as it should. Maven and Java commands both run successfully with no interruption or issues. On the Windows VM side however, it seems that Java just randomly exits with no error logs or anything really. I noticed it just hangs for a few seconds, and then just exits abruptly. I noticed that it may happen while running a Maven command, or for example running a .jar package with java -jar. Here's a picture of what it looks like (same happens on the picture above though):

A couple weeks back I had no issues at all. But then I had to reinstall Parallels and the VM (reinstalled the whole W11 OS), and suddenly these issues started occurring. I've tried adding -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError to MAVEN_OPTS environment variable to see if it's a OutOfMemoryError, but it did not seem to have any results.
Any ideas?

A: In case anyone runs into this issue: I was able to resolve this issue by installing the Windows 11 VM into Parallels from an image downloaded from UUP Dump.
I tried reinstalling the VM downloaded from the Microsoft's Insider Preview page, but the issue still persisted and nothing seemed to be able to fix it. Java still exited randomly pretty frequently.
I downloaded the latest Windows 11 image from UUP Dump and installed that one instead. Installed the exact same versions of Maven, Java, Groovy etc. and surprisingly, the issue vanished. I've been able to run Java on my VM for a day now without issues, whereas with the image downloaded from Microsoft I was able to reproduce the issue pretty much within minutes after configuring my environment and cloning the Git repo of the project I'm developing.

A: A lot improved for me after switching to ARM64 Java (Microsoft's was first one I found, there may be others).
Some background: not sure if I had exactly the same issue, but vscode compiling and code checking was slow and unreliable, and my Mendix Java application kept crashing or not even starting. Since that uses Java 11, that's what I installed the ARM64 version of. This is in Windows 11 ARM, from Microsoft's Preview page, updated (hang the first try, but worked the second).

Hindu-turned-Nepali Buddhist Monk: "Becoming a Buddhist Monk was the Best Decision I've Ever Made"
Writer Jogye Date21 Feb 2017 Read7,399 Comment0
"The best decision in my life was to be a Buddhist monk and I still think so." Ven. Jajae, the first international valedictorian of the College of Buddhist Studies of Dongguk University, said without hesitation on February 16 when the commencement ceremony was held at Jeonggakwon. Even amid continuous compliments and interview requests, Ven. Jajae didn't seem to put too much significance to the word, "valedictorian". Instead, he reaffirmed his commitment to letting teachings of the Buddha more widely known.
"I decided to be ordained as a Buddhist monk in Korea, a faraway country to me, for Dharma propagation. Dharma propagation has been and will be the only aim of my life," Ven. Jajae said.
He didn't know much about Korea except for the fact that it is a faraway country until his arrival in August 2011. In addition, Ven. Jajae was an enthusiastic Hindu, strongly influenced by his parents. With ever growing faith in Hinduism, he joined the Gayatri Pariwar, an international Hindu community which has regional centers in 160 countries around the world, after his graduation from the high school. Following the 3-year mantra practice at the community, he devoted himself to propagation of Hinduism for about a year in Delhi.
However, he recognized that he was pushing himself too hard to extremes through Hindu asceticism and began to look around in search of the middle way, while he studied English Education at the Tribhuvan University of Nepal and taught at high schools. One day, he gave a lecture about co-dependence to his students and felt confident that solutions to the questions he had in mind could be found from Buddhism. At that time, Ven. Jajae didn't even know that there are Buddhist Orders in Nepal. Then, a Korean friend from his yoga class came to his mind. The friend introduced Munbinjeongsa in Gwangju and Ven. Jajae embarked on his journey right away on August 15, 2011.
"As a matter of fact, I didn't think I would get ordained in the first place. However, becoming a Buddhist monk also meant having a closer look at Buddhism, which I so enthusiastically want to know about, and engaging in spiritual experience thoroughly. Then, everything became clear. I was ordained at Jikjisa in February 2012, after the 6-month training at Hwagyesa," Ven. Jajae said.
He entered the College of Buddhist Studies of Dongguk University in 2013 after completing Korean courses at the Korean Language Institute of the University. The Jogye Order provided him with financial support, 70% of the tuition, and the rest of the tuition and living costs were covered by Munbinjeongsa and Ven. Beopseon, the abbot of the temple. Ven. Jajae's school life was all about taking classes and studying at the library and dormitory, however, he cherished every moment of lectures and the time he spent with his classmates. With unparalleled concentration on every class, finally, he came to be honored as the first-ever international valedictorian of the College of Buddhist Studies.
Ven. Jajae plans to study anthropology at the graduate school of Seoul National University from this spring semester, aiming to broaden the scope of Buddhism in society. "What's important is making sure that society needs Buddhism and Buddhist teachings can make people's lives happier. To this end, the principle of co-dependence, quintessence of Buddhism, should be more widely known. With the truth of co-dependence being incorporated into our daily lives, Buddhism will naturally part of our society," Ven. Jajae highlighted his commitment to Dharma propagation.
Though he carried on a challenging life in Korea, now both Nepal and Korea have become one Buddha land where he hope to work hard for further Dharma propagation. That is why Ven. Jajae takes an approach to Korean Buddhists as one of the disciples of the Buddha, not as a foreigner from Nepal. Sharing his vision for Dharma propagation through ideal life as a practitioner with glittering eyes, Ven. Jajae is about to start his new journey.

TORONTO — Judging by his latest outing, Drew Pomeranz's time in the Red Sox starting rotation might be coming to an end.
The Red Sox starter lasted just 4 2/3 innings against the Blue Jays Tuesday night, with only 44 of his 84 pitches going for strikes.
And while Pomeranz gave up just two runs, he also elicited only three swings and misses. He also gave up four hits while walking five and only striking out one.
"It's been pretty frustrating," Pomeranz said. "Obviously you don't want to come out of that game but understandably, why I did come out of it. I'm just really frustrated with myself and it's really frustrating to know you're not yourself out there and trying to figure it out and work so hard and it's just not coming together. Like I said, I know it's still in there and I'm going to find it."
The appearances at Rogers Centre was the lefty's third since coming off the disabled list, having not made it into the sixth inning in any of the starts.
Pomeranz gave way to Heath Hembree with runners on first and second and two outs, with the reliever getting Teoscar Hernandez to fly out to right field to end the threat.
Both of the runs off Pomeranz came via a two-run homer in the third inning off the bat of Devon Travis.
"Inconsistent," said Red Sox manager Alex Cora. "Take a look at the line, it's almost 50-50 percent strikes and balls. He made some good pitches but walked some guys on four pitches – I don't mind the last one with (Justin) Smoak in that situation, hitter was ready. He swings at what we want him to swing at or we walk him. Velocity, not great, but the fastball was actually a lot better today than the breaking ball, the breaking ball wasn't there. We'll see, he's still searching, we're still looking. We need this guy, we need this guy, this guy is very important to us for what we want to try to accomplish, so we'll keep working at it."


STARAMBA SE (XETRA: 99SC), which is listed in the General Standard, today published its annual financial statements for 2017. STARAMBA SE (SSE) grew strongly from EUR 2.1 million in the previous year to EUR 12.1 million in 2017, representing an increase of around 500% and thus exceeding the original revenue forecast of EUR 10 million. However, STARAMBA remained below the forecast of EUR 15.9 million, which had been raised during the year. As a result of special effects, a largely non-cash net loss for the year of EUR 43.8 million was reported instead of the planned EUR 7.0 million. The net loss for the year is mainly attributable to the impairment of goodwill arising from the merger in 2016.
In the past fiscal year, SSE positioned itself on the market as an innovative VR expert and confirmed its image as a technology-based provider of digital sports and entertainment merchandising products. In addition to refocusing its business activities on virtual reality, STARAMBA was also able to take advantage of further opportunities in the digital sector by acquiring the assets of Staramba USA in mid-2017. With the acquisition of stars such as Paris Hilton and Hulk Hogan as license partners, who are to be found in the virtual world of the future project STARAMBA.spaces, a new basis for the VR area was already created in 2017. The quality of the 3D-INSTAGRAPH® scanners was improved by updates, which resulted in the launch of the new "Fusion" scanner at the end of June 2017. In addition, the scan network was redefined through the establishment of the "avatar.cloud" product line. Both self-operated scanners and scanners from partners can now connect to the network and take advantage of the numerous services offered there. Due to its growth, STARAMBA has more than doubled its headcount from 31 to more than 70 employees and expanded its office space accordingly.
BDO AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft (Berlin), the auditors elected by the Annual General Meeting on 25 July 2017 to audit the financial statements for the 2017 financial year and commissioned by the Board of Directors, concluded the audit due to audit obstacles in the course of preparing the annual financial statements and the management report and issued a negative opinion on 25 May 2018. The financial statement documents, the audit report and the reasons that led to the auditor's negative opinion were discussed in detail at the meeting of the Board of Directors on 25 May 2018. Measures were immediately initiated and implemented to ensure the preparation and publication of the 2017 annual financial statements. Among others, renowned auditors and lawyers were appointed to assist STARAMBA in clarifying outstanding legal and content issues.
STARAMBA has also comprehensively restructured its accounting capacities and processes. Against this backdrop, the finance department was already much better positioned in April 2018. In addition, the company plans to reorganise its board of directors accordingly and to have proven experts in finance and auditing elected to the highest body.
The amended annual financial statements and the amended management report as of December 31, 2017 were finally prepared as of November 29, 2018 and audited as part of a supplementary audit pursuant to § 316 (3) of the German Commercial Code (HGB). The audit by BDO AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Berlin, then led to a further negative opinion. The Board of Directors then approved without dissenting vote the 2017 annual financial statements as prepared.
Management and the Board of Directors assess the delay in the 2017 annual financial statements and the rejection note as a one-time case that STARAMBA, as a young company, had to master.
For further explanations, please refer to the comments in the 2017 annual financial statements.
In the current fiscal year 2018 it became clear that the demand for photorealistic 3D files of people, especially celebrities, has strongly increased. More and more companies are also moving into the virtual reality format, rewarding the STARAMBA.spaces offering, which has been upgraded with strong brands. On the other hand, the necessary development work on the part of STARAMBA also requires a great deal of time and personnel. STARAMBA must continue to grow in 2018 in order to achieve its goals. On the cost side, a noticeable increase in personnel costs is therefore expected for the 2018 and 2019 financial years. In order to finance these costs, STARAMBA SE carried out an initial token sale in 2018, which will bring the company a total of more than EUR 18 million in revenue. In addition, the management expects revenues from the 3D and Virtual Reality business of up to EUR 4 million.
The complete annual financial statements of STARAMBA SE are available at https://company.staramba.com/about/investors/publications.


1. Remove with a grinding stone, a file or a scraper agnails from edges of oil openings.
2. Wash out a cranked shaft solvent, then carefully dry, having whenever possible used compressed air. Do not forget to clean a rigid brush oil openings. Then wash out them solvent.
3. Check radical and shatunny necks of a cranked shaft for existence of zadir, cavities, cracks and signs of uneven wear.
4. Examine all surface of a shaft on existence of cracks and other damages. For identification of the hidden cracks it is necessary to resort to magnetic powder defectoscopy, - give a shaft to a workshop of car service.
5. Measure by a micrometer diameters of radical and shatunny necks of a shaft. Perform measurement of diameter of each neck in several points on length and perimeter that will allow to estimate the size of its conicity and ovality which should not exceed the limit of admissible range (see Specifications). It is necessary to estimate also the size of a beating of a cranked shaft, - pair of V-shaped blocks and the DTI measuring instrument will be required. In the absence of necessary stock ask for the help specialists of car service.
6. In case wear/conicity/ovality of necks exceeds admissible size, or mechanical damages of surfaces take place, the cranked shaft should be given to a pro-point. After a pro-point of a shaft it is necessary to pick up new inserts of radical and/or shatunny bearings of the corresponding repair size.
7. Check a condition of omental necks on both pins of a cranked shaft. Existence of the developed flutes, agnails or zadir will lead to an exit of new epiploons out of operation in the near future. In certain cases pins can be restored by a pro-point and a napressovka on them special thin-walled plugs. If such recovery repair is not possible, replace a shaft.
8. Check a condition of inserts of radical and shatunny bearings (see the Section Check of a State and Selection of Inserts of Radical and Shatunny Bearings of a Cranked Shaft).

What state has the best education system 2022?
10. The state of Maryland is number one on the list of the top ten states that have the greatest public schools. In addition, with 39.60% of individuals holding a Bachelor's degree or more, Maryland has the fourth-highest education attainment of any state in the United States.
Is Alabama the least educated state?
The States With the Lowest Average Education Levels The average level of education in each state differs. Wallethub conducted a study that analyzed all fifty states in the United States using twenty different metrics that were divided between two categories: Educational Attainment and Quality of Education.
These metrics included the percentage of adults over the age of 25 who have a high school diploma, some college education, or at least a Bachelor's degree, as well as the quality of the public school systems, the graduation rate from public high schools, the number of students enrolled in top universities, the graduation rate from public colleges, and more.
Each state received a score ranging from 0 to 100, with 100 being the "best educated" state. The ranking of the states was then established by taking the weighted average of each state's score across all parameters. According to Wallethub, the states listed below have residents with the lowest levels of education.
With an aggregate score of 23.65, West Virginia has the lowest level of education of any state in the United States.
In terms of educational attainment, West Virginia is ranked dead last.
The state has the lowest percentage of residents who hold bachelor's degrees or higher (20.6%), as well as those who have associate degrees or some college experience.

Additionally, the quality of universities in West Virginia is ranked fourth-worst on average. The state of Mississippi received a score of 25.18. It ranks 49th for Educational Attainment and 44th for Quality of Education, making it the state with the second-lowest educational attainment.
At 84.5%, Mississippi has the third-lowest percentage of residents who have earned a high school diploma. The state also has the second-lowest percentage of residents who have earned a bachelor's degree, and it has the fifth-lowest percentage of residents who have either an associate's degree or college experience.
The state of Louisiana comes in at number three on the list of states with the lowest average level of education. The score of 25.72 places Louisiana in the 48th position for Educational Attainment, while it places the state in the 44th position for Quality of Education.
The percentage of residents in Louisiana who have earned a high school diploma, a bachelor's degree, an associate's degree, and a graduate degree is all ranked in the worst five in the US.
The score for Arkansas is 30.06 out of a possible 100.
The Educational Attainment ranking for Arkansas is in 47th place, while the Quality of Education ranking for Arkansas is in 31st place, which is a modest improvement.
The percentage of Arkansas residents who possess an associate's, bachelor's, or graduate degree is the third lowest in the US. Alabama ranks as the fifth state in the US with the lowest average level of education. The state of Alabama received a total score of 32.29 points, with a rank of 45 for Educational Attainment and a rank of 41 for Educational Quality.
Compared to the average of 25% throughout the country, around 22% of adults in Alabama hold a Bachelor's degree or above; however, the gap between these two numbers is narrowing.
On the other side, the states with the highest levels of educational attainment in the United States are as follows: Massachusetts, Maryland, Connecticut, Vermont, and Colorado.

The following is a list of the 10 states with the lowest percentage of high school graduates: New Mexico has the highest unemployment rate at 86.50%, followed by Alabama at 86.87%, Nevada at 86.91%, Arkansas at 87.15%, Kentucky at 87.16%, and New York at 87.22%.
What state has the highest dropout rate?
Findings Concerning High School Dropout Rates at the County Level in the United States More than 9 million children live in the lowest-ranked counties in the country (the bottom 25%), and they face significant obstacles on the path to a safe and secure childhood.
During the 2016-2017 academic year, 15 percent of high school students did not graduate in the allotted period across the country. The state with the lowest proportion of students who did not graduate on time was Iowa, with a rate of 9%; New Jersey was a close second, with a rate of 9.5%. New Mexico (with a percentage of 28.9%) and Oregon (with a percentage of 23.3%) were the states with the largest number of students who did not graduate on time.
The percentage of children who do not graduate high school within the allotted period is highest in Wheeler County, Oregon, where 74% of students do not graduate on time. Children in Wheeler County have a one in 185 chance of not completing their education, which is 185 times higher than the rate of educational failure in Page County, Virginia, where just 0.4% of students do not graduate on time.
According to recent reports, there are dozens of counties spread across 14 states that boast on-time graduation rates of 100%.
Although almost all of them are less-populous rural areas with small numbers of children).
There are six counties that have graduation rates that are at or below 50%, which indicates that the majority of the children living in these counties struggle academically.

''Sir Alan M. Sugar''

Each week the would-be tycoons are split into two teams and given a task to carry out, after which someone on the less successful team gets booted out. Tasks include devising a children's toy, obtaining items on a shopping list for the lowest possible price, making food to sell at a farmer's market, and so on. All good, solid Game Show Tasks with a range of possible strategies, plus the advantage of a consistent (if ever-dwindling) set of contestants whom we "get to know" as the weeks pass. Think of it as a bit like [[Big Brother]], but without all that tedious sitting around and loops of birdsong.

[[Image:Apprentice_sugar.jpg]]''Sir Alan M. Sugar''

Anyway, to completely rip off an observation we once saw someone make on another site, the appeal of ''The Apprentice'' turned out to be not dissimilar to ''This Is Spinal Tap'' with real people. Yes, you'll CRINGE! as one of the contestants pushes ahead with a disastrous scheme against all advice. You'll CRINGE AGAIN! as they attempt to justify their actions to Alan Sugar. You'll SHAKE YOUR HEAD IN UTTER DISBELIEF as a certain person whom we shall not name for legal reasons repeatedly manages to avoid being kicked off the show. And you'll CRINGE YET AGAIN! because it's just that kind of show, really.

Of course, at the end the quiet one won, and Willy Wonka's recruitment methods were vindicated. Though the producers strangely chose to break away from Mr Wonka's masterplan at that point and failed to set the second series in a great glass elevator, which seems a bit of a wasted opportunity if you ask us. In fact, the programme has stuck rigidly to its original formula even to the extent of casting interchangeable contestants in each series (it's like [[Cluedo]], the faces change but the characters remain the same), which certainly saves us the bother of having to write anything new about it. Oh, except to note that the daft Amstrad emailer phone product that used to glory in its placement on Sralan's desk has, in series 4, at last vanished. Can the format possibly survive this most radical of changes? Watch this space...
Speaking of radical changes, at the end of the fifth series, it was revealed that Margaret Mountford would leave the programme to return to her studies in Ancient Egyptian manuscripts. In August 2009, it was announced that her replacement would be Karren Brady, chief executive of Birmingham City Football Club. Brady had previously appeared on ''The Apprentice'' both as an interviewer to the candidates, and as a winning team leader in a ''Comic Relief'' celebrity special.

=== Junior Apprentice ===
For the tenth series in 2014, twenty candidates contested the process, leading to double firings, and even a triple firing to get the numbers down. Following the conclusion of this series, it was announced that Nick Hewer would be leaving his role as one of Lord Sugar's aides. Famously tough interviewer Claude Littner was later announced as his replacement from the 11th series in 2015.
In May 2010, a special version of the show for 16 and 17-year olds was aired under the title of ''Junior Apprentice''. This six-part series followed the format of the regular series quite closely, with the 10 candidates spliting into two teams to complete business-related tasks, before heading to the boardroom where one (or more) of them was fired. Unlike the regular series, no-one was hired at the end of the series, with the winner instead receiving a prize suited to their career prospects, up to the value of £25,000.

== Catchphrases ==
Each episode ends with some variation on: "One job, now only ''n'' candidates. Sir Alan's search for his apprentice continues." In the first week, it's "...has begun". In the final it's reversed to become "''n'' candidates, one job. Sir Alan's search for his apprentice is over." And from 2010, it's now Lord Sugar.

By 2008, the American original of ''The Apprentice'' was generally regarded as yesterday's show. With the British version still going strong, producers at financial channel CNBC decided to show our version, promoted with the line, "If you thought the Donald was tough, wait until you get a taste of Sugar". The show was also sold to Australia.
The largest winning margin, and the largest profit in the show's history came in the semi-final of the ''Junior Apprentice'' spin-off. In the task, the teams were required to sell products of their choosing into a variety of different stores. ''Revolution'' returned to the boardroom with orders totalling a respectable £10,171.45. However their opponents ''Instinct'' returned with orders totalling £39,785.09, eliciting a 'Wow!' from Lord Sugar himself.
The largest winning margin, and the largest profit in the show's history for a task for which monetary values were applied, came in the eighth episode of the seventh series. In the task, the teams were required to sell two products of their choosing to the retail trade in Paris. Team Logic returned to the boardroom with orders totalling €11,705 (around £10,454). However their opponents Team Venture, returned with orders totalling €228,699 (around £204,254), giving them a winning margin of €216,994 (around £193,808), prompting Lord Sugar to declare the losing team had been annihilated. [Much larger figures than these have been recorded in the celebrity specials, but as they are for charity and people are much more free-spending with their money, it isn't a fair comparison.]
Series five contestant Ben Clarke would later appear on an episode of [[Dating in the Dark]].
== Selected participants ==
Stella English, winner of the 2010 series, was involved in legal proceedings against Lord Sugar alleging constructive dismissal. English claimed that she had been forced to quit after discovering her contract was not going to be renewed. English's claim was thrown out in April 2013; the tribunal found that she had resigned rather than being fired, so there was by definition no dismissal, and her claim was therefore contrary to the relevant section of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

River is a remarkable young hoop dancer who's raising awareness for Autism. He needs all our support!
{{cree_subheader}}
I was in line for the bus when I was given a story about a boy who could remember anything. It was the closing event for a festival and they had rented a shuttle bus to take everyone to the social afterwards. I hadn't been in line long before the host of the festival approached me and introduced himself.
We started discussing traditional knowledge transference and knowledge keepers when he told me about an Oneida boy he had met from Six Nations in Ontario. This boy was not only fluent in his language but had also been chosen by the community's elders to carry on their songs and ceremonies.
River rockin' out with his hoops
River Christie-White has just turned fifteen and comes from a longhouse family. His first language is Oneida and he is one of the family's youngest fluent speakers. His second language is English, followed by Ojibwe and Innu. Every summer his family goes on the powwow trail to help support him in his campaign for spreading Autism awareness through hoop dancing. His regalia is covered in puzzle pieces, which is the symbol used to illustrate the complexity of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); because just as all puzzle pieces are different in some way, so is each person on the spectrum. They are all affected differently, with some having very unique abilities like being able to remember anything after hearing it or seeing it only a few times. River happens to have this gift.
Puzzle Piece Regalia
My mother has worked in our community for over twenty years with adults who are on the spectrum. She told me how much she likes the concept of the puzzle piece because just as any puzzle missing a piece is incomplete, so are our communities without these individuals. She told me that in fact, they traditionally had important roles as knowledge keepers.
I met River and his parents at a coffee shop and he gave me a Hoyan before explaining the story behind the Oneida tradition of giving out these little doughnuts on New Year's Day. He shared his story with me along with some of the challenges that come with being on the spectrum and the lack of awareness in many communities. This is why he's been campaigning on the powwow trail these past three years while living out of a tent.
A vision of River by artist Meky Ottawa
As we were leaving, his mother told me that his Oneida name is Lal^taloks which means "He gathers leaves" in English. The word for leaves can also refer to people in their language, and she believes that is what River is here to do.
River started a GoFundMe campaign to fundraise for the purchase of an RV for him and his family to stay in while he is on the powwow trail raising awareness for Autism.
For each donation received he will put your name on his RV in vinyl. You can donate here.
A letter from Autism Ontario supporting River's campaign
Amanda Roy is Anishinaabe from the community of Buzwah, which is part of the Wikwemikong Unceded reserve on Manitoulin Island. She attended the University of Toronto and McGill University and previously worked as an analyst in both the private and public IT sectors before switching to media. She has worked on various film and digital media projects in various roles with Mushkeg Media and Rezolution Pictures in Montreal. She is currently working with Rezolution Pictures' sister company Schoolu, which combines the immersion of virtual reality (VR) with the engagement of game-play to inspire young minds to learn in the James Bay Region of Quebec. She is also working on her own film projects.

I am about to start my own forum using my home PC.
From what I do research here, it seems like mybb is the best and most popular?
So this the one I should get?
Yes indeed, MyBB is very popular, but so is SMF and phpBB. I suggest you reading some of the reviews here to let you decide which one will suit you.
You can also use our Quiz.
I got MyBB running in 2 days. My first time using Apache, php and MySQL.
I use to believe in ASP, IIS and SQL Server and I was using Web Wiz Forum, another forum software. This software is not mention here.
I wonder if ASP and IIS is dying? It is not even popular.
I have look at them but I think MyBB is most popular as far as free. Is there any other votes?
I install mybb. I didnt like it that much. I have to edit alot of codes. For example, I disable upload. When I go to the forum, the upload field is there. I have to manually edit it out. Is this the case with you?
Those template editor are hard to use on mybb. It seems like it can magically add another end tag to it. Is it running in real time?
I just did a new install of phpbb3. So far I like it.
I first create essential install of Apache, php and MySQL. From there I make a new clone. Then I use that new clone to do snapshot to go from one version to the next. Really helps me out alot to reinstall everything again and easy to do rollback! I use Vmware. Virtualbox is another free thing to use.
1/ Finally, you seem prefering phpBB, it's good as well, so no problem, even if it's more complex in terms of security access to set up new forum sections.
2/ How did you install the LAMP (Apache, Php MySQL) ? Did you use an EasyPHP or WAMP Server? It very convenient if you use Windows. Else, using Linux, a classic apt-get install php5 apache2.2 and so one will do the job.
The admin page on phpbb is a mess! It is sooooo confusing! Global role and permission vs Forum based permission vs Permisson role??? What are all these things? I am having a headache now.
I am doing everything inside W7 Professional x64. I got Ubuntu 10.4 and Ubuntu 10.4 server all installed. I am suppose to learn Linux but I am weak on this. I need to learn and stay away from mouse clicks.
I didnt use any other fancy install. I install Apache, php and mySQL one by one. Lots of tutorial to get it working. It is not that hard at all. I have never used mySQL but I have work on SQL Server and I got it running like that.
Yes, do not hesitate, our vBulletin 4 Demonstration Forum is a good place to start. (as vBulletin is a licensed software, it's harder to install it locally).


We are creating a space for open dialogue, theological exploration and collaboration among Catholic women in the worldwide Church.
We believe in the creativity of struggle and acceptance that comes from learning to respect our differences. We regard these as vital aspects of the process of discovery and transformation that brings us together in our faith.
We do not speak with one voice, nor do we deny our differences and disagreements. Our logo – resembling a monstrance, indicates the diversity of our group.
We share our grounding in the Catholic faith, but we represent the different hues of a living tradition – made up from a mixture of different cultures, backgrounds and experiences.
We believe that our diversity is a strength to be celebrated and not a problem to be overcome.
Why is there no red in the rainbow colours of our logo? Red represents the absent voices of women who have left the Church. Their absence is marked by a colour that signifies their experiences of wounding, anger and loss.
We resist any attempt to develop a theology of "Woman".
Rather we say that, unless women are fully included in the Church's theological anthropology, our understanding of what it means to be human will be diminished and distorted by the absence of half the human race.
It is not possible to reflect meaningfully on what it means to be male and female, made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), unless women are full participants in the process of theological reflection and doctrinal development.
Would you like to help us to promote women's voices in the Church? – Please donate here.
In October 2018, women from around the world gathered in Rome for events and activities organised by Catholic Women Speak. We recorded interviews with 14 of these women speaking about their vocations, their faith and their cultures and contexts. You can watch the videos here.
Sheila Pires of Radio Veritas in South Africa interviewed Tina Beattie about Catholic Women Speak while they were together in Rome in October 2018.
Read more about the contents and contributors and order a copy of the book here.
Read about our time in Rome – see our photos and watch our videos.
The purpose of the forum is to create an informed and honest space for dialogue around issues relevant to the lives of Catholic women in the Church and society.
Comments and contributions that are respectful, courteous and intelligent are welcome here.
We are the voices of Catholic women from many different cultures, perspectives and walks of life, united by a shared belief that the Church will benefit from greater inclusion of women's perspectives and theological insights in the interpretation of doctrine and the development of pastoral practice.
Men and women, young people and adults, communicate differently. They speak different languages and they act in different ways. Everyone has something to contribute, because they have their life experiences, they look at things from a different standpoint and they have their own concerns, abilities and insights. The unity that we seek is not uniformity, but a "unity in diversity", or "reconciled diversity".
Join a vibrant network of Catholic women who all support each other on their personal and spiritual journeys.
We welcome Catholic women to join our Facebook group to dialogue with us, and to support other Catholic women around the world working for a more inclusive Church.
Catholic Women Speak is a worldwide movement. Find out if there is a group in your area that you can join and support.
Even though we take full advantage of online communication, we know that this does not replace the value of meeting face to face in groups to support each other. Find out if there is a group near you for you to join.
The purpose of the website is to create an informed and honest space for dialogue around issues relevant to the lives of Catholic women in the Church and society. Comments and contributions which are respectful, courteous and intelligent are welcome here.
We are delighted to collaborate with L'Osservatore Romano in distributing the English translation of their Women Church World magazine through our website.
Catholic Women Speak and Voices of Faith work together to promote the representation and participation of women in the life of the Church. We do this through publications, media promotions, educational activities, networking and social media, and by organising events such as the International Women's Day conference organised in Rome every year by Voices of Faith, and the symposia in Rome organised by Catholic Women Speak to coincide with Synods of Bishops in 2015 and 2018.

Aimee Espinoza: Cure Arthritis Ambassador
Posted at 16:03h in Arthritis News	by	ANRF 0 Comments
The Arthritis National Research Foundation is pleased to announce that Aimee Espinoza, a rheumatoid arthritis sufferer and athlete who races for ANRF's Racing For A Cure program, was recently named a Cure Arthritis Ambassador. As an ambassador for the foundation, Aimee will be using her influence to spread the message that research is the key to finding a cure for arthritis.
Photo Above: Cure Arthritis Ambassadors, Aimee Espinoza [Center] and Britt Johnson [R] with Mike Carey [L]
Aimee's platform consists of a blog that she writes, http://fitaimee.blogspot.com/, social media, and a range of supporters that sponsor Aimee's various races, the proceeds of which go toward the arthritis research that ANRF's scientists are conducting across the country.
Due to her misdiagnosis at the age of sixteen, Aimee is enthusiastic about joining the roster of ANRF's Cure Arthritis Ambassador team so she can inspire others who are facing a difficult process being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
"I want to change the face of arthritis and show people that even though I have a crippling disease, I can still move and I hope that I can inspire the community to move with me as well," Aimee said. "I'm thrilled to be an ambassador because I want to be a part of something bigger than me to bring awareness to rheumatoid arthritis, a disease that effects adults and children."
When she was properly diagnosed at age 26, Aimee decided that a "clean diet" was necessary to help reach her own goals of living an active lifestyle and to manage her arthritic pain. She decided to eat anti-inflammatory foods because the various medications prescribed by her doctor left her with terrible side effects that only made her RA symptoms worse.
Through her social media following, @FitAimee_RA on instagram and twitter, Aimee attempts to inspire other rheumatoid arthritis sufferers to stay as active as possible. She uses herself as a paradigm to show that despite an autoimmune disease, it is not impossible to stay active.
Most recently, Aimee participated in the Long Beach Marathon's annual 5K race, sporting her Racing For A Cure jersey to spread the word about the fundraising program and the enterprising work ANRF funds. The 5K turned out to be one of her most successful races.
"I was filled with adrenaline and was so happy I finished the race and had another one under my belt," Aimee said. "Staying active is very important to me, not only to keep my body moving, but also to prove all those doctors wrong who said I would never run again. Now, I have several races under my belt. I know I need to keep moving."
"We're delighted to have Aimee become a Cure Arthritis Ambassador for our foundation," said Executive Director, Helene Belisle. "Through her social media following and constant involvement and support of Racing For A Cure, we are confident she'll be a valuable asset to spreading ANRF's mission that research is the best solution to finding an arthritis cure."

When the Germans came to Dawdon
Contributed by Nancy Pickering and Ed.Mason
At the time of writing, Mrs Nancy Pickering is the Deputy Mayoress of South Tyneside and lives in South Shields. On a recent official visit to Seaham for the Mayor of Seaham's Civic Service at Christchurch Church, she revealed the proud connection she has with Seaham through her late mother, Annie Elliott.
Picture shows (right to left) Mayor of South Tyneside Counc. Bill Brady, Deputy Mayoress Mrs Nancy Pickering, Deputy Mayor Mrs Kathy Brown and Mayoress Mrs Mavis Brady.
Annie Elliott ( shown left at 73 years old) was born in South Shields in 1889, the eldest of William and Mary Jane Elliott's eleven children.
Most of Annie's school days were spent at Stanhope Road School in South Shields. In those days children left school at fourteen and the school catered for "senior" pupils as well as Infants and Juniors.
Life in the late 1800s was hard. Annie's father, William, was a miner. Regular employment was difficult to find in those days and miners had to travel from colliery to colliery as work determined.
Nancy recalls how her mother never tired of telling her about the old days. For a while, around 1901, the Elliotts lived in Spittal near Newcastle-upon-Tyne. At that time Annie was about twelve years old and had found work at a theatrical boarding house.
Nancy isn't clear whether or not her mother was attending school regularly but schooling came second to work in those days. The boarding house, she recalled, was always full of performers, some of them famous like Hetty King who was renowned as a male impersonator. The work also had its problems, for Annie had to cross the desolate Newcastle Moor alone both going to and returning from work. Children would never be allowed to do that these days.
But of all the stories which Annie told, her favorite was about how the Germans came to Dawdon. Annie (shown left at about 15 years old) never gave a reason why she came to Seaham. Perhaps the pressures at home had become too much. The family was large and it must have been a struggle for her parents to make ends meet. At least if she, as the eldest, could find a job and make her own way in life it would help.
What we do know is that Annie's mother was most concerned that she should be leaving home to make her own way in the world. But Annie was adamant that she would cope. She had experience of boarding house work and she felt certain that she could find a job in Seaham harbour. She set off with only a coarse apron and a change of underclothes in a tin trunk . These were her only possessions. At the time, Annie, would only be about 14 or 15 years. But she was determined and insisted that she would find work in Seaham and would manage to make ends meet.
Annie was no stranger to work. At a very young age, she had been expected to miss school to "tak' up the bread". This was a common expression used in NE England at the turn of the century to describe the tedious task of kneading the dough (to make bread for the whole family of thirteen). So Nancy came to Seaham Harbour with only a few bare essentials.
As it turned out she found a position as a servant at a large boarding house at No2, Back North Railway Street close to the docks. The area now is known as Hawthorn Square.
It was here that Annie met the Germans who had come to Dawdon to sink the new pit.
Work had begun on August 26th 1899 on the site of Watsontown which was also known as the Blast Houses. The Marchioness of Londonderry cut the first sod of grass for theTheresa shaft and Viscount Castlereagh cut the first sod for the Castlereagh shaft.
The sinking of the pit turned out to be a remarkable feat of engineering. The Dawdon Colliery site was atop of the cliffs about one mile south of Seaham Harbour. The major problem expected in sinking the shafts was the torrents of water which poured through the Magnesian Limestone and Yellow Sand layers. Provision had been made to pump out up to 7000 gallons of water a minute.
George Stevenson the "Father of Railways" had made his early reputation by producing pumps which overcame the water problems of pit sinkers 80 years earlier. But even modern-day pumps were helpless against the endless torrents which were experienced at Dawdon
The pits had reached a depth of only 361 feet when it became clear that the flow of water could not be handled by the pumps.Sinking was suspended on 28th December 1902. The German company Gebbhardt & Koenig of Nordhausen were contracted to freeze the ground through which the two shafts were being sunk and also the ground between them. This would allow the sinking to be carried out without pumping.
Freezing began in May 1903. The ground was frozen to a depth of 484 feet by inserting a ring of tubes into the earth and filling them with a freezing mixture of lime, ammonia and magnesium chloride. The process was so successful that when sinking started again in October 1905 it was necessary to use dynamite to blast through the frozen quicksand and limestone. By the spring of 1907 the main coal had been reached at a depth of 1321 feet.
Annie Elliott must have heard some fascinating stories from the Germans she waited on. She always referred to them as "sinkers" but they might well have been highly skilled "technicians" in todays terms. She often talked about having to wash their filthy clothes when they returned from work though.
What we do know is that Annie thoroughly enjoyed her time in Seaham Harbour. She quickly became a recognised figure in the local community and regularly attended the Methodist Chapel in Church Street. She became friendly with a miner called Billy Newcombe and his family (Let us know if you know of any descendants). Unfortunately, Billy was tragically killed at the pit.
The Londonderry family who owned the pits was also a regular topic of her conversation.
She recalled a tragedy at a Sunderland theatre whilst in Seaham. Apparently, a fire alarm went off and everyone rushed to the doors but they opened inwards. So great was rush, that a lot of people were crushed. Because of this tragedy it became law that public doors must open outwards.
Eventually Annie became Head Cook for the Maxwells, a prominent South Shields family. From there she married Alexander Clark of South Shields and settle down to give birth to a family of five.
When Annie died in 1974, she was 85 years old.
Her daughter Nancy reflects: "She had always worked and was never idle. She brought us up to be honest and hard working too."
