Harvard paper loses bid for police records
I finally had an opportunity today to read last week's disappointing decision from the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, The Harvard Crimson Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, denying a request by Harvard's student newspaper to obtain incident reports and other records from the Harvard University police department.
Under Massachusetts law, some Harvard police officers have been designated "special state police officers," an appointment made by the colonel of the State Police. Some officers also serve as deputy sheriffs for the county. In light of these designations, the Crimson argued that records of the Harvard police were public under the state's public records law.
Saying that it would construe strictly the scope of the public records law, the SJC rejected the Crimson's argument.
"The public records law, and its implementing regulations, are applicable to documents held by public entities, not private ones. Simply put, Harvard University is a private institution, a fact not challenged by the Crimson. ... It follows, therefore, that records in the custody of the HUPD, a department within Harvard University, are not "public records" that fall within the ambit of [the law]."
The decision is disappointing for its strict interpretation of the law. Other states, most notably Florida, have stated that they will liberally apply their open government laws. The SJC could easily have done so here. The court, itself, notes the somewhat anomalous fact that Massachusetts law expressly provides that Harvard's police logs are to be maintained as public records.
The Crimson may still find recourse in the state legislature. A bill has been filed that would make these records public. HB 3449 provides:
"All records, reports or other documentary materials or data made or received by such employees so appointed as special state police officers shall be public records kept and maintained in the custody of such college, university, other educational institution or hospital, except as otherwise provided by law."
In October, the bill was reported favorably by the legislature's Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security and is now with the House Committee on Ways and Means.

Elucidation of the deposition processes and spatial structures of alkanethiol and arylthiol molecules adsorbed on Pt(111) electrodes with in situ scanning tunneling microscopy
Yaw Chia Yang, Ya Pei Yen, Liang Yueh Ou Yang, Shueh Lin Yau, Kingo Itaya
In situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was used to examine the spatial structures of n-alkane thiols (1-hexanethiol, 1-nonanethiol, and 1-octahexanethiol) and arylthiols (benzenethiol and 4-hydroxy-benzenethiol) adsorbed on well-ordered Pt(111) electrodes in 0.1 M HClO4. The electrochemical potential and molecular flux were found to be the dominant factors in determining the growth mechanisms, final coverages, and spatial structures of these organic adlayers. Depending on the concentrations of the thiols, deposition of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) followed either the nucleation-and-growth mechanism or the random fill-in mechanism. Low and high thiol concentrations respectively produced two ordered structures, (2 × 2) and (√3 × √3)A30°, between 0.05 and 0.3 V. On average, an ordered domain spanned 500 Å when the SAMs were made at 0.15 V, but this dimension shrank substantially once the potential was raised above 0.3 V. This potential-induced order-to-disorder phase transition resulted from a continuous deposition of thiols, preferentially at domain boundaries of (√3 × √3)R30° arrays. All molecular adlayers were completely disordered by 0.6 V, and this restructuring event was irreversible with potential modulation. Since all thiols were arranged in a manner similar to that adopted by sulfur adatoms (Sung et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, 194), it is likely that they were adsorbed mainly through their sulfur headgroups in a tilted configuration, irrespective of the coverage. Both the sulfur and phenyl groups of benzenethiol admolecules gave rise to features with different corrugation heights in the molecular-resolution STM images. All thiols were adsorbed strongly enough that they remained intact at a potential as negative as -1.0 V in 0.1 M KOH.

2003 Jaguar Concept Eight 'New-Fashioned Luxury' VX53 GUC
This is a very special car, devised by Jaguar's Advanced Design Studio. Called the 'Concept Eight', it was built as a long wheelbase model, with the supercharged 4.2 litre V8 engine, and was unveiled at the New York Motor Show in 2004. External modifications to the car included a one-piece darkened glass roof, special 21-inch alloy wheels, and chromed gills on the front wings behind the wheel arches. Paint finish was in Purple Haze metallic, which showed black or cherry depending on lighting conditions.
However it was the interior and equipment which really set this car apart. The sumptuous individual rear seats, divided by a full-length walnut covered console, were upholstered in fine aniline leather, and passengers' feet sank into inch-deep handmade carpet. The interior was lit by the warm red glow of LED lighting, creating a unique mood. The equipment included a pair of Waterford crystal champagne flutes, and an Alpine sound system with 14 speakers.
Truly, the Concept Eight embodied 'new-fashioned luxury'.
The X350, so-called after its project code number, was introduced to the public at the Motor Shows in the autumn of 2002, and was the seventh generation of the Jaguar XJ saloon. It was the latest member of a family of cars that began in 1968, and by the time the X350 was introduced, over 800,000 cars had been produced of the six previous generations of the XJ. As the largest and most prestigious of three Jaguar saloons, the new XJ was an up-to-date version of a classic Jaguar theme, and the company's flagship.
The new car included many advanced features, notably the all-aluminium unitary construction body shell, a six-speed automatic transmission, and an air suspension system with double wishbones front and rear. Styling and proportions were clearly inspired by its forebears. Despite this, the X350 offered considerably more interior room and boot space than any previous XJ saloon, while the aluminium construction helped to keep weight down.

Nicholas Fox and FBI agent Kate O Hare, are back chasing criminals that don't know they are being set up. This time they are after a money launder who works out of Vegas and Macau. Once they put the hook in they once again go and get the cast of characters that help them put everything together. Before that they go to Hawaii to find Kate's father who is playing in jungle against a crime lord from the island and some of his men. The crime lord was trying to hurt one of his ex-military buddies so once Kate finds him and gets him off the island and makes sure his friend is okay they can get back to work. Her father at times makes this story, but so do all of the characters. This book flows better for me than the last book and though they finally kiss and actually spend a night alone together which I know I have been waiting for. The ending sets you up for the next book and now finally I have something to look forward to from this series. This book has the fun bantering and you can get into the con but it is more Kate and Nick and their team. Which for me works better. Like I said also the added more parts with her father's character I think helps this story as well. A very good book. I got this book from netgalley. I give the 5 stars.


1 Do not rejoice, Israel; do not be jubilant like the other nations. For you have been unfaithful to your God; you love the wages of a prostitute at every threshing floor. 2 Threshing floors and winepresses will not feed the people; the new wine will fail them. 3 They will not remain in the LORD's land; Ephraim will return to Egypt and eat unclean food in Assyria. 4 They will not pour out wine offerings to the LORD, nor will their sacrifices please him. Such sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat them will be unclean. This food will be for themselves; it will not come into the temple of the LORD. 5 What will you do on the day of your appointed festivals, on the feast days of the LORD? 6 Even if they escape from destruction, Egypt will gather them, and Memphis will bury them. Their treasures of silver will be taken over by briers, and thorns will overrun their tents. 7 The days of punishment are coming, the days of reckoning are at hand. Let Israel know this. Because your sins are so many and your hostility so great, the prophet is considered a fool, the inspired person a maniac. 8 The prophet, along with my God, is the watchman over Ephraim,yet snares await him on all his paths, and hostility in the house of his God. 9 They have sunk deep into corruption, as in the days of Gibeah. God will remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins. 10 "When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the desert; when I saw your ancestors, it was like seeing the early fruit on the fig tree. But when they came to Baal Peor, they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol and became as vile as the thing they loved. 11 Ephraim's glory will fly away like a bird— no birth, no pregnancy, no conception. 12 Even if they rear children, I will bereave them of every one. Woe to them when I turn away from them! 13 I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place. But Ephraim will bring out their children to the slayer." 14 Give them, LORD— what will you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry and breasts that are dry. 15 "Because of all their wickedness in Gilgal, I hated them there. Because of their sinful deeds, I will drive them out of my house. I will no longer love them; all their leaders are rebellious. 16 Ephraim is blighted, their root is withered, they yield no fruit. Even if they bear children, I will slay their cherished offspring." 17 My God will reject them because they have not obeyed him; they will be wanderers among the nations.


In 1935, two years after construction concluded of the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park and two years before completion of the Appalachian Trail, Seattle-based outdoors enthusiasts Lloyd and Mary Anderson decided they needed to find a better way to buy gear to outfit their adventures.
In 1938, the couple, along with 21 like-minded lovers of forests and peaks, formed the co-op that became Recreational Equipment Inc. and then, simply, REI.
Now, some 80 years later, REI is coming to the Flathead Valley.
The Kalispell store will be REI's third location in Montana for the specialty outdoor retailer and co-op. Nationally, it will be REI's 154th store.
A grand opening is planned Nov. 9-11 at the store, 2270 U.S. 93 N. in Spring Prairie Commons, with events and door prizes on Friday and Saturday that weekend.
Molly Mikita manages the new store, which is about 20,000 square feet. The footprint is slightly smaller than REI's Missoula and Bozeman stores, but the sales floor space in all three stores is roughly the same, the company said.
The Kalispell store will employ about 53 people, a tally that includes both full-time and part-time workers, Mikita said.
She worked for REI in Dillon, Colorado, before moving to manage the Kalispell store.
Unlike regional outdoors-oriented competitors that include, but are not limited to, Sportsman & Ski Haus, Cabela's and Snappy Sport Senter, the local REI store will not sell fishing gear or firearms.
Part of what makes REI unique is its co-op approach, Mikita said.
In April 2018, REI reported it had notched a record $2.62 billion in sales in 2017. The company said recently it has more than 17 million members.
Mikita said the Kalispell store will feature "a very cool backpacking wall" and a "full-scale bike and ski shop." She said the store has a community room to host events and classes.
REI has made an effort to display throughout the shop locally relevant art and "found objects," Mikita said.

Institutional Strategies for MOOCs: Berklee's Approach
Debbie Cavalier | Senior Vice President of Online Learning and Continuing Education and CEO of Berklee Online, Berklee College of Music
By taking a very deliberate strategy to structuring their MOOCs, the Berklee College of Music has created an effective pipeline for their credit-bearing online courses and programs
Berklee College of Music was founded on the revolutionary principle that the best way to prepare students for careers in music is through the study and practice of contemporary music. For 70 years, the college has evolved to reflect the state of the art of music and the music business, leading the way with the world's first baccalaureate studies in jazz, rock, electric guitar, film scoring, songwriting, turntables, electronic production, and more than a dozen other genres and fields of study.
Berklee Online, the online continuing education division of Berklee, has been teaching music online for 13 years. Building on Berklee's rich tradition of distance education—including mail-based correspondence courses in the 1960s and 70s that brought the likes of Alf Clausen, Gary Burton and David Mash to the college—Berklee Online was established in 2001. Our mission is to expand the reach of the college and provide music education opportunities to a global base of aspiring musicians. Over the years, we've developed a diverse portfolio of online offerings, from free to degree, all representing contemporary music and music-related studies.
Berklee President Roger H. Brown describes Berklee Online's portfolio as a "Wedding Cake" of options for students. As you move up through the layers, the costs increase as does a student's access to Berklee curricula and faculty in small, intimately sized cohorts.
In 2012, after teaching more than 75,000 students online, we became a partner institution with both Coursera and edX. This added a new bottom layer to our wedding cake of options: MOOCs.
Berklee's Institutional Strategies with MOOCs
Many institutions entered the world of MOOCs as a way to begin offering courses online. Berklee's reasons were different: MOOCs aligned with our mission and would enable us to address a number of strategic initiatives for the college including:
Raise visibility for Berklee
Provide readiness courses for prospective students
Provide music education opportunities to international and underserved populations
Provide a pathway of study with Berklee Online
Leverage and maximize industry partnerships
The expansive reach of Coursera and edX has provided increased visibility for the Berklee brand. In 12 years, we've taught 75,000 students via Berklee Online. In just two years, our MOOCs have reached 1.4 million people worldwide.
Prospective Berklee students now have a tool to help them better prepare for their audition to Berklee. We developed the MOOC, Developing Your Musicianship, which provides instruction in basic harmony and ear training, and serves as a preparatory tool for students interested in studying at Berklee. In addition to the learning content, the course features interviews with, and performances by, Berklee students. The authors for the course represent a cross section of chairs and faculty from the college's Harmony, Ear Training, and Contemporary Writing & Production departments.
Through a generous grant from the IDB, we will create Berklee's Developing Your Musicianship MOOC in Spanish and also in Portuguese, to serve populations for whom our English language version of the course is inaccessible. We are also embarking on a Mandarin language version of our Musicianship Specialization via Coursera that will include four courses fully translated.
Berklee Online has an expansive reach. This year we will teach 11,000 students in our online courses, certificate programs, and online degree programs, and close to 1m via MOOCs. If you imagine a flipped Berklee Online wedding cake, it looks and serves very much like a traditional marketing funnel, where students move from their entry point down through our various offerings over time.
Each of the nine MOOCs we have created so far provide the readiness skills needed for our entry-level paid offerings. For example the "Introduction to Ableton Live" MOOC on Coursera prepares students for Berklee Online's "Producing Music with Ableton Live" course and related programs, in the same way that the "Introduction to Guitar" MOOC on Coursera provides the readiness skills needed for Berklee Online's "Guitar Chords 101" and a program of study in guitar.
In just over two years, 300,000 of our MOOC students have become registered members of Berklee Online. Many of these students have gone on to engage with us more deeply by enrolling in our college-level online courses, certificate programs, and even apply to the online bachelor's degree program. Indeed, in 2015 we welcomed 45 students into our certificate programs and eight students into our online degree programs who originally found us via Berklee's MOOCs.
One of our online Bachelor of Professional Studies students provides the perfect case study for a MOOC student matriculating into a for-credit program. James Mina found Berklee Online through a MOOC offered on Coursera in 2013. He went on to download marketing collateral and making other touch points with Berklee Online throughout the year. In February 2014, a year after registering for his first MOOC, he began the degree application process and matriculated into a degree program in January 2015.
"By the time I realized that I wanted a career in music, I thought it was too late to amass the resources necessary to attend a premier university," he said. "My first MOOCs with Berklee Online shattered my old phobias and inspired me to start crafting a portfolio that could give me a fighting chance at getting accepted to Berklee"
Berklee maintains strong relationships with all segments of the music industry, and MOOCs have provided a new way to leverage and maximize those relationships. We're working with a number of companies to create MOOCs that teach Berklee music production curricula where students demonstrate understanding and apply the educational concepts they learn to a given music production application. For example, Ableton, a German-based music production hardware and software company has a music production software program called "Live." Ableton offers a free version of Live, so we created the "Introduction to Ableton Live" MOOC. The author of the course, Erin Barra, is a Berklee songwriting faculty member as well as an Ableton-endorsed artist. Ableton helped with the marketing and promotion of the MOOC, raising awareness and boosting enrollments. This partnership was a positive one for Berklee, Ableton, and our students. We are pursuing more opportunities like this with music industry partners that offer de facto standard applications with a "free" version for our MOOC students.
Looking Ahead: MOOC Acceleration
Our foray into the world of MOOCs has been nothing short of positive. In addition to addressing the strategic initiatives listed above, our course development staff has enjoyed working in new online course development platforms, our administrative staff have benefited from being part of a close knit community of institutional partnerships, and the revenue generated through Signature Track and other paid options is serving to fund the development of additional MOOCs. We have made a decision to further our commitment to this initiative and hire two dedicated MOOC staff positions to accelerate this effort and grow our catalog of MOOCs.
In closing, I would encourage anyone considering adding MOOCs to their institution's overall online strategy. In isolation, MOOCs serve a purpose, but offered in the context of a diversified portfolio of online offerings, they can be a powerful tool to expand the reach and raise institutional brand awareness.

On Saturday, September 6th, PASSi was host to local representatives from The Vanguard Group, Inc. who volunteered for a United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey's Day of Caring. Seven Vanguard representatives headed by team lead Louis Esposito together with a few PASSi staff members worked to complete a yard cleanup of PASSi's east side of the building that has been largely untouched for many years prior to PASSi purchasing this building. The volunteers all worked tirelessly for four hours and did a great job to revitalize that portion on the property.

Built by Boeing at Seattle. Constructors Number 3109. Delivered to the U. S. Army Air Force (USAAF) as B-17F-5-BO Flying Fortress serial number 41-24424. Ferried overseas via Hawaii to Australia.
Assigned to the 5th Air Force, 19th Bombardment Group, 28th Bombardment Squadron. Assigned to Captain Richard Ezzard. Nicknamed "Hell From Heaven Men" (in quotes) in yellow on the right side of the nose.
"[The crew photo depicts] Richard Ezzard crew, and I'm currently in touch with an Australian navigator who flew a few missions with them. I'd also be grateful for any contact with the Glenn Richards family - I'm particularly interested to know if he was awarded a Silver Star. The whole crew of this B-17, including the Australian navigator, were promised a Silver Star for their last mission in November 1942. But after a week's leave in Sydney the Americans went home and the Australian was ordered back to Townsville for reassignment, and never heard any more about the medal."
On October 5, 1942 one of nine B-17s from the 28th Bombardment Squadron led by Major Elbert "Butch" Helton that took off from 7-Mile Drome near Port Moresby at 1:50am on a bombing mission against Lakunai Airfield near Rabaul. Flying in bad weather, six of the B-17s including this bomber aborted the mission and returned to base.
On November 21, 1942 took off on a five hour mission against two destroyers. Crew members included Frank Hohmann from Jay Rousek's crew shows "a five-hour mission in 41-24424 on 11-21-42 against 2 Destroyers, lost 1 B17 Lt Frost' [41-2536]."
In November 1942, assigned to the 43rd Bombardment Group, 65th Bombardment Squadron. During January 1943 transfered to the 64th Bombardment Squadron. Assigned to pilot 1st Lt. Arthur L. McMullan and continued to fly combat missions until lost in the middle of March 1943.
On March 15, 1943 took off from 7-Mile Drome near Port Moresby piloted by 1st Lt. Arthur L. McMullan on a mission over Wewak. Facing bad weather and low on fuel, this B-17 ditched at sea at approximately 15-20 miles north of Buna at roughly 2:30am on March 16, 1943.
It is presumed that six of the crew went down in the aircraft after the ditching. Three survived the ditching and attempted to swim ashore. Freeman allowed the tide take him to shore but was never seen again.
Two of the crew, Dawson and Eberly were able to swim ashore after 13 hours at sea and were later rescued. After returning to duty. Later, Eberly went Missing In Action (MIA) on September 15, 1943 piloting B-17F "Listen Here Tojo!" 41-24552.
The six missing crew members were officially declared dead on March 16, 1943. Bender was officially declared dead on July 16, 1943. All are memorialized on the tablets of the mission at Manila American Cemetery.
Eberly went went Missing In Action (MIA) on September 15, 1943 piloting B-17F "Listen Here Tojo!" 41-24552. He earned the Legion of Merit, Air Medal, Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Cluster, postumously. After his remains were recovered he was burial at Arlington National Cemetery in a group burial at section 60 plots 7814-7821. He also has a memorial marker at Mountain View Cemetery in Oregon City, OR at section J, block 1, lot 1, grave E.
"[McMullan] returned to the US in November of 1942, less than four months before his plane ran out of gas. I remember him telling me that he always felt that he had a greater chance of crashing from lack of fuel than from being shot down."
"24424 to 28th BS, 19th BG, transferred to 64th BS, 43rd. BG. Ditched at sea returning from Wewak in bad weather Mar 15, 1943. Only two crewmen survived."

RPS delivers its commitment to divest from fossil fuels
By Swati Rana -
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) has announced that it has delivered its commitment to divest from fossil fuels.
Divestment in fossil fuels is when an organisation sells any direct financial investments, such as stocks, bonds, or investment funds it has in companies that extract fossil fuels, such as coal, gas, oil and tar sands.
RPS President Professor Claire Anderson said: "I'm very proud that we have delivered on the commitment to divest from fossil fuels made by the RPS Assembly last year. Our original plan was to be completely disinvested by the end of 2022, and we have achieved this four months ahead of our target date. This is an important milestone for us in our efforts to help tackle the climate and ecological emergency. There's still plenty to be achieved and we are working hard to become a more sustainable organisation.
"Our Climate Change Charter, in partnership with Pharmacy Declares, helps pharmacy team members to make their commitment to a more sustainable future and I urge you to sign up today. We've also prepared a handy list of actions you can take to put your commitment into action. Our annual conference this year will feature sustainability as one of the four main workstreams."
RPS is a signatory to the Professional Bodies Climate Action Charter and also a member of the UK Health Alliance on Climate Change.

The Checkers
by Bill Nelson
It was 1957 and. I was working at Dobson and Barlows, we had just finished the Christmas and New Years holidays and we were back at work. First week of the New Year, and we were made redundant, with no redundancy pay in those days. Just two weeks wages, so me and my mate went straight to the pub across the road. The next day we went to sign on the dole (£3-10s) which didn't go very far in those days. It was just enough to keep your head above water. About three weeks later I was coming out of the dole when I met Benny Lever.
'Has't geton a job? he said.
'No', I replied.
'Dos't want one? he asked.
'Yes, I replied.
He told me to get in his wagon, which he drove for the railways, delivering around Bolton. He took me to the office at the goods yard. 'This lad wants a job' he said to the boss in tne office.' So Ernie Heape (the boss) took my name and address and the took me on deck and introduce me to the foreman. He told me that I started on the following morning at 5.30,the middle of the night to me. My life in the Railway had started.
Wages in them days for a porter was £7-10s (£7-50p) per week.
We worked 40 hours a week, 5.30am - 2.30pm and 4 hours on Saturday morning, finishing a 9.30am. I used to come out of work and go to Bridgeman Street baths for a hot bath. The job consisted of working on the deck, the deck was a long concrete floor, divided on one side with what is called Corners. These corners represent different areas of the town, such as Deane Road, Derby Street, Bradshawgate, Deansgate, Horwich, Farnworth, Moses Gate and many others. On the other side was what was called the 'wagon side', this was were they would bring the goods wagons into the sheds. It was our job to empty these wagons.
What happened was like there was a gang of four men, one caller and three trackers who had a truck each. The caller would get into the wagon and start getting the parcels out. You would put them in your truck and he would tell you which corner to take it to. Anyway, the job was soon picked up and you got to know the town.
Regards any funny stories, We had a cage, and it was called the Vulnerable cage, and we had to put valuables in this cage, and the checker, Martindale, he had to book all the valuables in, and give the driver what he had to take. Now the odd time things were damaged, like bottles of Whiskey or Wine, these had to be taken to the cage for inspection and entered into the damage book. What we used to do was, we had a billycan, and we stood the cartons on their ends so that the Whiskey or Wine would run out into the can. Many a time this was full, and Martindale would leave it outside his office on a box, and every time you went passed you could have a drink, some of the men were blind drunk sometimes.
The railways had an equal opportunities policy, a porter could be a man or a woman and both got the same wage, so a lot of women worked on the deck. There was a young checker and his job was to check the manifest when you got a wagon full of spirits etc, He'd stand at the side of the wagon and say there were 50 cartons of Whiskey or watches and tick them off. He was a bit of a cheeky lad with the women, he must have gone to far one day, four or five of them must have got him in a van stripped him, they shut and locked the van door and left him in. When the vans were empty the were shunted down to Burnden Park, the shunters eventually heard the lad in the van and let him out, He had to run all up Bradshawgate back to the shed to get his clothes back.
To earn extra money I had to work overtime in the cotton yard. This consisted of getting bales out of wagons and getting them into the warehouse. Sometimes working in the warehouse itself trucking. The warehouse was divided into six different parts, for different varieties of cotton, depending on where they came from. The bales where 5 cwts in weight and wrapped in sacking some all ragged at the end. To have a good run, they would be pulled back onto the truck so that the blade of the truck was on the bottom band. Sometimes the loose sacking would wrap round the wheels which would stop the truck, and you would go over the top, which could be frightening.
After about three months on the deck, I was in two minds whether to pack it in. Anyway, one day the chief foreman came and asked me if I would like a job on the transits, the hours are 8am till 5pm early turn and 11.30am till 9.30pm late turn, a £1 more and plenty of overtime. This job consisted of two men, one a driver and the other a checker. We got vans from Bury, Waterfoot, Rawtenstall, Bacup, Manchester etc. They came into the shed, and with' a wagon and a trailer one of these vans would be emptied. Then you would go round the yard and distribute the load to the vans that went all over the country. A full setting in the shed consisted of 56 vans, all going to different towns all over the country. They were all numbered starting from no l to London and ending at no 7 to Perth. The others would be used as duplicate vans. Every now and then you would get a book, a gazette, which had every town in England were things were sent from Bolton. Gradually you began to know places, like little towns you'd never even heard of.
In 1958, they still had horses on the railway, some on rounds in town, and two that worked in the yard. One was called Margaret and the other was called Tommy, one time it tried to get into the canteen cookhouse. The last two horses were retired to somewhere in the Midlands south of Birmingham.
Every other week you had to go on late turn, nobody liked it, especially in the Winter, for the wagons had to be sheeted, which with them being tar sheets made the job very hard especially if a blizzard was blowing. All the checkers used to sit in a cabin at the bottom of the yard, 'and wait for drivers coming in, with loads picked up for dispatching. The checkers had to go to the drivers and unload at the required destination van. Some drivers would load up to make the job easy, others wouldn't. I got caught on the first week on lates. I got about 6 tons, 100 consignment notes and about 600 cartons, and the driver had put them in anyway, so I found that this driver had to be avoided. After about 12 months the foreman came to me and said 'sign this Billy, its for you to be made up to checker. It was another 17 years before I got another promotion.
One of the drivers Stan Eckersley was in the Salvation Army, and played a big drum in the Halliwell corp. He didn't know any of the popular tunes but he knew all the hymns. Another had the habit of getting into trouble, he used to pick up at Taylor's of Horwich, cotton goods, towels, blankets etc. He loaded up one day, then decided he would go home for his tea, by doing this he would probably get a bit of overtime in. Anyway, he backed his wagon up the back street where he lived, and when he got back to the depot, the foreman said to him "Been home for your tea", "no" was the reply. "Well how come you've got a street lamp on the back of you trailer" said the foreman. It seems somebody had seen him knock it down and phoned up. Then there was Alex Jackson who went to Bury brewery with a wagon which had a high cab, one day he went into the wrong bay, he jumped of the wagon straight into a beer vat and he said it was the best day he had ever had. An old horse carter used to thump his unit as if it were a horse and call it names (Samuel mechanical horse), he also worked on the steam tractors going to the docks from Bolton.
When we were on late turn we could get overtime, coming on at 7.00am, and going up to Halliwell where we would unload peas. These were in sack and there would be about 200 sacks about six tons. Now at one time there was a shortage of drivers in Bolton and a surplus in Manchester. About half a dozen of these driver came over and they used to treat us as though we were yokels. They would not drive our units because they had no doors, so they said they would get ones with doors, and they did. Eventually we got fed up of them, and we decided to put an end to there antics. So one day we tied all the off side doors and wedged all the windows on there cabs, because they used to line the cabs up in the middle of the shed. After dinner we all trooped out of the cookhouse back to the shed, and the drivers jumped in, so all the checkers grabbed the doors and tied them up, but before hand stink bombs had been put in the cabs, the Manchester drivers were alright after that they had been cured.
Part of the deck was called Transit corner, me and my mate were working there when somebody shouted' 'fire', the cotton above us was on fire. The foreman in the cotton room started to throw the bales down and the Fire Brigade started to hose it down, but me and my mate who were underneath got wet through. The other side of Orlando Bridge was what we called Gantry, there was a big crane there called Goliath which was used for lifting girders, containers etc. The checker on the Gantry was called Albert, and every June holidays the Territorial's would come with their guns etc, and have them loaded onto the wagons ready for their fortnights camp. This 'particular June the officer in charge was a bit stroppy with Albert, every thing had to be done by Army procedure. But Albert thought I'm not in the army and your not telling me my job, so they were all loaded up, all labelled to Wales, except the Terry's were going to Carlisle that year.
In 1960 the railway had a contract with Woolworth's, to move paint, this was made at Bury and came in on twelve ton trailers. This had to be distributed all around the shed to different vans. Now in some parts of the shed there were still railway lines, which had to be gone over and they were very bumpy, some of the paint fell off, all over the floor, so Bolton yard became known as the Yard of Many Colours.
Discipline on the railways was a funny thing really, you could be late or fight even be the worst for the drink but they would not sack you, the only thing you did get sacked for really was thieving. For the other offences you had to go before the boss with a union representative. You would usually get suspended for two to three days.
In the 1960's the sundries deck as it was called had finished and many of the women were made redundant, around this time it became known as National Carriers. Bolton was one of the main depots. In 1975 I was made up into working foreman over the Irish section, which dealt with Southern Ireland, there was five in this section. Gradually the transit part finished and was made into a warehouse, here I was made into Warehouse foreman. In 1982 I had done 25 years and was presented with a carriage clock, at this time there was only 16 left compared with 3OO in the beginning. At the end of 1984 Bolton depot was closed down and it all went to Manchester, this was the time that I more or less retired through ill health. I had some happy years and some good mates from all over, and I don't every regret walking out of the dole and meeting Benny Lever.

A computer is a device used to process data and use a program to manipulate the data and display to a user. Current computer displays are normally considered to be a screen, however, optic nerve interfaces are on the horizon and the human mind may soon be merged with AI (Artificial Intelligent) Computers.
Cutting edge astrophysics is now considering the Hologram Universe to be a very plausible explanation of our own reality.
Generally, a computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out an arbitrary set of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. The ability of computers to follow a sequence of operations, called a program, make computers very flexible and useful.
Such computers are used as control systems for a very wide variety of industrial and consumer devices. This includes simple special purpose devices like microwave ovens and remote controls, factory devices such as industrial robots and computer assisted design, but also in general purpose devices like personal computers and mobile devices such as smartphones. The Internet is run on computers and it connects millions of other computers.
The modern age of Computers started with archaic technology such as vacuum tubes and the invention of the transistor allowed for modern computers to develop although they were very limited in power due to the size early 'mainframes' took up. Whole rooms were used to store early mainframe computers that today would pale to even a simple calculator.
The nexus for the modern computer age was the advance of computers due to the creation of a silicon chip that created the great miniaturization of computers and led to our modern age where a simple smart phone has more computer power than all the mainframes on earth from they early days of computers.
Multi-dimensional computer processors are on the Horizon and then HelixQ an AI operating system that was first theorized in the 1970's by Dr. Sol Adoni will allow mankind to create 6 and even 10 dimensional virtual universes and modern astrophysics is now starting to adapt the Hologram Universe model of our Universe based on the work of Dr. Sol Adoni.

1. The spiritual humbleness of a person appears in the movements of the body.
Humbleness appears in one's countenance, one's calm and gentle voice, and one's meek looks. The humble does not look down on the others, nor speaks as one with authority, sharply, haughtily or loudly. The humble does not utter disdainful words or degrades anybody by negligence. The humble walks and sits gently and modestly, without haughtiness or elevation, with modest clothes, luggage and belongings, not luxurious, or revealing a high standard of living. The language of the humble reveals him, for he does not boast of or takes pride in what he does, nor holds comparisons between himself and the others to show that he surpasses them or has more knowledge than them.
2. The way of worshipping and prayers reveals the humbleness of a person.
The humble worships with awe, as David the Prophet said, "But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; in fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple." (Ps 5: 7) The humble stands in prayer with due respect, meet for being in the presence of God, for even the Cherubim and Seraphim stand in awe before God, each with two wings covering his face, and with two covering his feet (Isa 6: 2).
The humble keeps well his senses and is not distracted with anything during prayer, nor presses forward in the Holy Mass to receive the Holy Communion before the others, but proceeds as one who is undeserving.
The humble stands when he ought to stand, and while blessing the food at home. He never prays while sitting, but on every occasion he prays with awe and respect.
Likewise, when fasting the humble fasts in awe, being aware that fasting is a period of humiliating oneself before God. We remember here the fasting of the people of Nineveh, for they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them, and when the king of Nineveh knew he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes (Jon 3: 5, 6).
3. The humble admits hi sins as soon as he becomes aware of them.
It is so hard for a haughty person to confess his sins, for he feels in this degradation of his esteem and dignity in the sight of the others. The humble, on the contrary, never attempts to justify or excuse himself, nor conceals his sins, but is always ready to say 'I have sinned' within himself and before God, being completely convinced that he is not infallible .
The humble is not righteous in his own eyes (Job 32: 1). He is far from self-righteousness, for he knows his own sins more than the others know them.
4. Life of true repentance and accompanying virtues are a good helper to attain humbleness.
A repentant is always aware of his heavy sins, for his sins are always before his eyes (Ps 51). He continually remembers them with humility within himself and before God, feeling that he is unworthy. He blames and rebukes himself continually for his weaknesses and shortcomings, seeking the prayers and blessing of everybody. Feeling ashamed within makes his conduct humble and far from pride.
5. Among the means of humbleness are keeping silent and not pretending to have knowledge.
6. The humble feels in need for the help of the saints.
In many things the humble does not rely on his own prayers, but seeks the intercession of the Holy Virgin or the prayers of the holy angels, or even the spirits of the martyrs and saints that they may support him in his struggle and intercede for him and his household before God. He says to the Lord the Hours Prayers "Agpeya", "Surround us, O Lord, with Your holy angels, that we may be with their protected and guided."
His heart is never elevated, or feels no need for the intercession of any of those, thinking he has direct relationship with God and he needs not seek the intercession for the Virgin for instance, or St. George or Archangel Michael. He remembers the words of St. Peter the Apostle in the evening of the Last Supper, when he asked St. John the Beloved who was younger in age than him to ask the Lord who was the disciple who was going to betray Him, and St. John responded and asked the Lord (Jn 13: 23- 25).
7. The humble does not seek to be a visionary or a worker of miracles and wonders.
The humble therefore struggles to attain the fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5: 22, 23), rather than the gifts of the Spirit (1 Cor 12). On the other hand, those who like to see visions and apparitions easily fall in the deceit of the devils, for Satan works with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish (2 Thess 2: 9, 10). In the last days he will assist the anti-Christ "who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God" (2 Thess 2: 4) Satan himself can transform himself into an angel of light (2 Cor 11: 14), and in this way deceitfully pleases those who like to see visions, and leads them to perdition.
Here I would like to mention the story of that monk to whom the devil appeared in the form of an angel, saying to him, 'I am Angel Gabriel. God sent me to you!' The monk, in humbleness, said to him, 'Maybe God has sent you to someone else and you took the wrong way. As for me, I am a sinner who does not deserve to see an angel!' When the devil heard these words of humbleness he dispersed in the air like smoke and disappeared.
8. A humble person, when entrusted with a ministry, will not ask God persistently the gift of speaking in tongues, nor declare to the people that this is a sign of fullness of the Spirit.
The humble, if given the gift of speaking in tongues, will not look down on the person who has not such a gift as have not yet attained a high level, nor say to the others, 'Come, let me deliver to you an exercise from God, speaking as a gift-giver!

Deco Full House Remodel
Building Type: Condo – 2 Units
Location: Inner Richmond
CLIENT GOALS
This 1930 single story flat maintained all of its Art Deco era detail, including amazing plaster moldings, beautiful bathrooms, and a kitchen with many original details.
The kitchen features a built-in ice box that was an exotic feature back in the day but was not useful in today's world.
The homeowner struggled with how to preserve the period style and architectural details, all the while incorporating features for today's modern living.
DESIGN SOLUTION
The homeowner and Team Centoni talked through desires and needs, collaborating on the remodel, so the space remained of the era but was optimized for today's living.
Floor Plan Overhaul:
A master suite was created out of repurposing an overly large laundry room into a private hideaway with a luxurious bathroom and a walk-in closet.
The kitchen, a central space in the home, benefited from an additional 3 feet of space also borrowed from the original laundry room. A wall opening was created into the breakfast room, mimicking archways and trim details found in the main living space of the home.
The guest bathroom "coffin" shower was removed and replaced with an in-room toilet, so the adjacent powder room could now serve as the home's laundry facility.
The floor plan of the home now boasts two bedrooms, a master suite, in-unit laundry, and an additional full bathroom.
Upgraded all utilities:
The electrical panel was upgraded to support today's demanding electrical requirements, as well as centralized audio/visual system. The plumbing system went under a considerable upgrade to support the new kitchen, two new bathrooms, and new laundry facility.
Replicated and Restored Historical details:
To ensure continuity throughout the flat, the Art Deco doors, windows, moldings, and trims (door casings, baseboards, picture rails) were custom-milled.
The original privacy glass was sourced to keep historical feel in the doors and windows.
The vanity mirror in the guest bathroom was restored, and a new one was built to place in the master bathroom to match.
Contemporary Lighting and Appliances:
Ultra-modern light fixtures were selected to complement the period details.

Unless factors have changed because I took the genuine estate course in Michigan, you have at least a six-month redemption period in which you can stay in the house Right after the foreclosure, maybe longer if you have a lot of land. We have given that purhcased two vehicles in Missouri (his is fully paid for in my name only, mine is in both our names and we are paying a note on it) and a house with the mortgage in both our names. I don't like people coming in my house when I am not there regardless of whether a house-sitter or repairman.
Now the house has been foreclosed on and I nevertheless continued to get in touch with… Discovered out that the house never sold in the auctioned and that I owed $47,000 (that is how far I was behind). Bat homes can be mounted at any time of the year, though bats are normally browsing for new residences in the late winter and early spring as they emerge from hibernation or begin their annual migrations (depending on your geographic location).
I would say events like trying to blame riots across the Middle East and Benghazi on a YouTube video went a long way to checking that box… so have countless other lies and deceits that have emanated from the WH that the media attempted to sell us. If your house is past the redemption period, then it is either owned by the bank or someone else.
What is wonderful about him is both the high quality of his houses, and the fantastic range of homes he has constructed! The reality that the economy might be growing slowly rather than actually declining would not appear to be sufficient to make crucial five accurate so lengthy as the public does not clearly perceive an improving economy. Never advertise your house like it's a hotel and if you do remember even hotels have a verify out time.
We have not paid May's mortgage payment on the Indiana house however since we do not have any further income to pay it. We are paying all our other debts on time. I was intrigued to see what state the house was in as I had final observed it about 7 years ago and all I remembered was looking at its red roof in a box as it was packed away into my parents' loft. As quickly as Cobb enters the house it seems to manifest his inner demons by opening portals to a hellish parallel universe.


Marine and freshwater microalgae were evaluated for their antioxidant properties and lipid composition. Both lipophilic (L) and hydrophilic (H) oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) values were measured. Among the tested microalgae, the marine microalga Nannochloropsis granulata showed the highest total ORAC value at 6948 μmol TE (100 g)−1, followed by the freshwater species Neochloris oleoabundans at 4508 μmol TE (100 g)−1 and Scenedesmus obliquus at 4406 μmol TE (100 g)−1 of algal biomass. Freeze-dried algal biomass was also examined for lipid content by the Folch method. Lipid content ranged from 30.9 to 49.3% and linear regression analysis revealed a statistically significant correlation between the lipid content and the ORAC values. Tested microalgae showed moderate and dose-dependent DPPH radical scavenging activity. The total phenol assay shows that marine microalga Tetraselmis chui had the highest phenolic content at 57.5 μmol GAE g−1 and N. oleoabundans had the lowest at 26.6 μmol GAE g−1 of MeOH extract. A statistically significant correlation was detected between DPPH radical scavenging activity and the phenolic content. Fatty acid analysis revealed that polyunsaturated fatty acids constituted > 45% of the total fatty acid content in N. oleoabundans, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Porphyridium aerugineum, S. obliquus, and Scenedesmus sp. Total carotenoid concentration ranged from 1.1 to 29.5 mg g−1 of dry algal biomass. Lutein, zeaxanthin, and β-carotene are common carotenoids found in most of the algae tested. P. tricornutum contains significant amount of fucoxanthin at 24.3 mg g−1 algal biomass. These carotenoids also contributed to the overall antioxidative activity of microalgae.

So here's the news- Don't Eat the Paste has had over 5,000,000 page views, and there are a few giveaways planned. The first will be starting soon, and I'll be giving 3 readers a copy of one of my favorite books from last year- Snowflakes, Sunbursts and Stars. It's a collection of origami and kirigami projects to paper craft snowflakes, sunbursts and stars shape. Now two copies I'll give away here. The 3rd I'll be giving away on my Facebook page! So go like the page if you want a chance to win there. When I send them, they will include some Alaskan postcards, a touristy plastic Alaskan key ring and one of my Don't Eat the Paste wooden coins that say "Ubicumque homo est, ibi benefici locus est" around the edge. It means "Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness."
