Barcelona & Bayern hoping to close Lewandowski deal by the weekend - report
The saga could be coming to an end....

Share All sharing options for: Barcelona & Bayern hoping to close Lewandowski deal by the weekend - report
Photo by A. Pretty/Getty Images for FC Bayern
Robert Lewandowski's proposed transfer to Barcelona appears to be moving closer with reports suggesting progress is finally being made.
The Athletic's David Ornstein is reporting the Catalans are "advancing towards a deal" for the Bayern Munich striker.
No agreement has yet been found between the two clubs but the report adds "there is optimism around the situation that the move will happen."
Over in Germany there is also a growing sense that Lewandowski is about to end his career with the Bundesliga champions.
Florian Plettenberg at Sky Sport reports there has been movement and explains "both clubs want to finalize his transfer to Barcelona this weekend."
Lewandowski apparently does not want to be part of Bayern's pre-season tour to the United States with the Bavarian giants set to fly out at the start of next week.
Barcelona are also set to jet off this weekend to the United States for a series of friendlies before heading back to Spain for the Joan Gamper Trophy against Pumas.
Barcelona set for late transfer window drama?

LIFE ROLLS ON: FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE DELIVERS FIFTH STUDIO ALBUM – OUT NOW
Courtesy of BMLG Records
NASHVILLE, TN (February 12, 2021) — LIFE ROLLS ON with Florida Georgia Line's next musical evolution as their highly-anticipated fifth studio album via BMLG Records drops today (2/12). Featuring current Top 10 arm-in-arm single, "Long Live," and their anthemic 17th career #1, "I Love My Country," FGL's Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley tally 13 writing credits on the 16-track collection.
Anchored by a title track whose optimistic message encourages resilience in whatever uncertainties may come: "Oh and I know it might be alright, might be all wrong / But life rolls on / And on and on and on," LIFE ROLLS ON reflects FGL's growth not just as entertainers, but as husbands and friends. Their first full-length album co-produced with Corey Crowder, FGL doubles down on what the superstar duo does best: deep grooves, earworm hooks, and carpe diem-style songs for anyone who loves life, loves God, and loves having a good time.
LISTEN TO LIFE ROLLS ON HERE
A performance of "Long Live" on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday (2/16) kicks off the album release party vibes ahead of a full-band concert, "LIFE ROLLS ON FROM THE FGL HOUSE," at the pair's Nashville, TN-based venue. Teaming up with Amazon Music and hosted by CMT's Cody Alan, the exclusive global livestream starts at 8 p.m. CT Wednesday (2/17) on the Amazon Music Twitch channel and within the Amazon Music mobile app via the new livestreaming functionality by Twitch and Amazon Music. The show will also be available to watch on the Amazon Music Twitch channel for three days following. With FGL House located in the heart of downtown Nashville, Amazon Music, FGL, CMT, and Big Machine Label Group have each donated to The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee's Nashville Neighbors Fund to support local merchants affected by the Christmas Day bombing. Grants from the Fund are made available to nonprofits providing services for both immediate and long-term needs for those impacted from the explosion. Fans can learn more about the Fund by visiting cfmt.org/NashvilleNeighbors or donate during the livestream on Tiltify.
On Friday (2/19), FGL will top off their week-long album celebration with the "iHeartCountry Album Release Party with Florida Georgia Line" held by iHeartMedia. Beginning at 7 p.m. (local time), fans can access the livestream via LiveXLive and broadcast across iHeartMedia's Mainstream Country radio stations. Hosted by iHeartRadio's Brooke Taylor, the virtual festivities will include a performance, exclusive interview, and needle drops from LIFE ROLLS ON.

With stretched budgets and fewer personnel dedicated to delivering advertising and marketing messages, small businesses have become more creative in targeting their audience. From social media to content development to mobile marketing to outreach, companies are looking for the biggest bang for their buck.
Social media continues to change how businesses communicate and share information it's also an inexpensive way of reaching your audience. Each social media channel has a different function so understand what each channel does and develop a plan on how to use it.
Exposure to social media's large user base is another reason to have a presence. However, social media is not for everyone. Not every business is meant for social media because some businesses cannot take advantage of the instantaneous feedback each platform provides. Examine your audience to see if you could benefit by having a presence.
If you use social media, choose the channel appropriate for your business, and then develop a strategy on the type of content to share, the frequency in updating your content, and how to respond to messages or comments on your pages.
Assign someone on staff or an outside consultant who will be responsible for maintaining your account and keeping your content updated. It's also a good idea to monitor the competition to see what they're doing.
A website or a blog is another important component to your marketing initiatives as long as you keep it updated with fresh content. When you provide customers with quality content, you're gaining their trust and establishing your credibility. It can also boost your rankings in search engines. Today, businesses can manage their own content through content editors.
A content management system, such as WordPress, Drupal or Joomla, is very empowering for a small business and there's no reason to rely on an outside organization to maintain the site.
One way to keep your website updated is by writing blog posts weekly. Your content management plan should include a communications calendar. As an added bonus, you can aggregate those posts into a monthly e-newsletter for your clients.
Conduct a keyword analysis—using tools such as Google Analytics—to discover how customers are finding your business and incorporating those keywords into your content.
Small businesses should also embrace mobile in their outreach efforts which also means that your website should be optimized for mobile. Small business marketers are presented with a powerful opportunity to reach specific customers at the right time and place with the right offer.
Register your business with Google Maps, and sites like Yelp and Foursquare, to harnessing the power of smartphones. Sixty percent of all cell phones sold today are smartphones. Not only do you have to be thinking about a mobile version of your website, but how consumers will use their phones to find products or services that they need.
Outreach is another effective method to reach your audience. In our OutreachU Programs, we define outreach as a two-way, community-based, customer focused effort which is distinctly different than the one-way message traditional marketing offers. In a one-way marketing strategy, businesses push a message to customers using methods such as direct mail or print ads.
You're pushing this message constantly, one way, and then hoping people will take action. Outreach is a two-way conversation with your customer—learning about them, their needs, and their desires through regular conversations.
Outreach is similar in some ways to social media, but even without social media, businesses can still interact in a two-way manner with potential customers through methods such as face-to-face networking and permission-based, email marketing.
No matter which marketing or outreach channels you use, planning is critical.
With marketing messages splintered in terms of different channels, develop a strategy that incorporates different delivery mechanisms. We also still think we're controlling the message. That clearly has changed. The brand does not belong to us anymore. It belongs to our customers.
Once your plan is in place, establish goals and stick with it. Outreach usually falls on the list of priorities during the day. People tend to dabble in it rather than commit to it. When they dabble, they don't have the patience to let it work.
Lack of consistency is another problem that plagues businesses.
Some businesses don't have a consistent message and broadcasts it out there in the hopes that it lands on someone's ears. Figure out your message, which vehicles to use, who you're targeting, and allocate time to commit to this plan.

Finished my first lace shawl!
I finally finished my first lace shawl! This is the Haruni pattern. See this post for more details on the pattern and yarn used. It was a fun project. I've done one or two lace projects before and expected that this would be very difficult, but it actaully not bad at all as long as I had stitch markers, highlighter tape, and the pattern that had both charts and written out instructions!
I'll have to get my hubby to take some better photos, but that's all for now. I'm sick with a bad cold and despite my throbbing headache last night I had to weave in the ends and block it. It was dry by this morning and I really love how it turned out.

When in the pillory a malefactor was completely at the mercy of the mob. Some escaped unscathed; when Daniel Defoe was pilloried for satirising the Government he was pelted with flower petals rather than dead cats and rats and rotten vegetables, and Richard Parsons, pilloried for his part in the Cock Lane Ghost fraud, watched in astonishment as the London mob took up a collection for him. John Waller was not so lucky, a boisterous crowd catcalled and jeered as he was beaten to death on the pillory in 1732 by Edward Dalton, the brother of the man he had sent to the scaffold.
An unknown victim takes a dead cat from a restive crowd
John Waller was a career informer who was not especially careful about whether the information he was laying before the courts (in hopes of a reward) was accurate or not. A narrative of his life, published shortly after his death, states that he was the son of the Halifax executioner who left Yorkshire for a life of roving the country. In 1728 he laid evidence against two men who he accused of robbing him on the highway from Islington but both men were acquitted. In early 1730 the highway robber James Dalton was convicted of robbing Waller at gunpoint somewhere between the Tottenham Court Road and Bloomsbury. Dalton vociferously protested his innocence but Waller was supposedly paid £80 for his evidence. In May Waller was giving evidence again, this time against John Wells and Charles Ditcher who had supposedly assaulted him upon the highway and stolen his coat. The newspapers reported that a further two people were in Newgate accused of picking Waller's pocket. Waller wasn't averse to a bit of highway robbery himself, he robbed one John Edglin and then, in an act of breathtaking audacity, using a false name, accused Edglin of robbing him. The Magistrates were already growing suspicious of Waller's all too frequent appearances before them and he eventually he found himself under arrest and charged with perjury in the Edglin case. He was convicted in June 1732 and as part of his sentence was sent to the pillory at Seven Dials.
Seven Dials in the 1740's
A fellow prisoner, William Belt, was charged with overseeing the execution. According to Cartwright Richardson, a witness at the later trial, he had barely got Waller into the pillory before Richard Griffiths and Edward Dalton, the younger brother of James Dalton who had been executed on Waller's perjured testimony two years earlier, "and a Chimney Sweeper laid hold of Waller, and stripped him as naked as he was born, except his Feet, for they pulled his Stockings over his Shoes and so left them; then they beat him with Collyflower-stalks, and threw him down upon the Pillory-board. The Chimney-Sweeper put something into his Mouth, and Griffith ramm'd it down his Throat with a Collyflower-stalk. Dalton and Griffith jumpt and stampt upon his naked Body and Head, and kick'd him and beat him with Artichoke and Collyflower-Stalks, as he lay on the Pillory-Board. They continued beating, kicking, and stamping upon him in this manner, for above 1/4 of an Hour, and then the Mob threw down the Pillory, and all that were upon it. Waller then lay naked on the Ground. Dalton got upon him, and stamping on his Privy Parts, he gave a dismal Groan, and I believe it was his last; for after that I never heard him groan nor speak, nor saw him stir."
John Waller in an illustration from the Newgate Calendar
Belt, Griffith and Dalton were all tried for murder at the Old Bailey. Mr King the Coroner told the court about the horrific state of Waller's corpse "I viewed the deceased the next Day, and I never saw such a Spectacle. I can't pretend to distinguish particularly in what Part he was bruised most, for he was bruised all over: I could scarce perceive any Part of his Body free. His Head was beat quite flat, no Features could be seen in his Face, and some Body had cut him quite down the Back with a sharp Instrument."
John Waller's mother was present at Seven Dials to see her son killed. His mangled body was taken to her where she sat in a coach watching. Cartwright Richardson described to the court how Dalton and Griffiths reacted when they saw her; "they cryed out here's the old Bitch his Mother, Damn her, let's kill her too. So they went to the Coach-door, huzzaing and swearing that they had stood true to the Stuff. Damn him, says Dalton, we have sent his Soul half way to Hell, and now we'll have his Body to sell to the Surgeons for Money to pay the Devil for his thorow Passage." She told the court what happened next "I laid my Son's Head in my Lap. .... My son had neither Eyes, nor Ears, nor Nose to be seen; they had squeezed his Head flat. Griffith pull'd open the Coach-door, and struck me, pull'd my Son's Head out of my Lap, and his Brains fell into my Hand."
William Belt was acquitted of the murder of John Waller, Richard Griffiths and Edward Dalton were convicted and were hung at Tyburn in September 1732.
The Greek Necropolis, West Norwood Cemetery and Crematorium
In 1842, just 5 years after West Norwood Cemetery opened, London's wealthy Greek expatriate community of merchants and ship owners leased a plot of land from the cemetery company at a cost of £300 in which to create an Orthodox enclave. Fenced off from the rest of the cemetery, the Greek Necropolis contains more grade II listed architectural gems than any equivalent sized plot in any other London cemetery; 19 tombs and mausolea and the mortuary chapel dedicated to St Stephen.
Two of the most magnificent mausolea were built by the Ralli family from Chios, who had settled in England from 1815 onwards and flourished as grain and textile merchants. The Doric temple was commissioned by Eustratios Ralli (1800-1884), who was one of the original committee that acquired the land for the Greek cemetery. As Patriarch of the Greeks in London he also laid the first stone of the new Cathedral of Saint Sophia in Moscow Place, Bayswater in 1877. His older brother John Peter commissioned his mausoleum from the architect GE Street who produced a design based on the barrel topped tombs at Xanthos in Turkey. In 1872 a third brother, Stephen Ralli, built the large mortuary chapel.
Other prominent mausolea belong to the Vagliano brothers, also grain merchants, one of whom, Panaghis, left a colossal fortune of over £3 million when he died, equivalent to well over a billion in todays terms. There is also the family tomb of Maria Zambuco, a model to the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood, the Caridia family tomb (Aristides the father was an India merchant, his son an Olympic silver medal winning tennis player) and, a descendent of the "Greek Emperors of Byzantium", Princess Eugenie Paleologus.

She had eyes and chose me; Lucy Renaud Gallup (1847-1883), West Norwood Cemetery
She died young and had beautiful eyes; that is obvious from the photograph of her probably taken when she was in her mid twenties, shortly after her marriage in 1870 to Henry Clay Gallup. Henry must have loved the portrait as he had it reproduced on porcelain and set on her grave; a very novel practice in the 1880's. 130 years later the ceramic plaque is still in excellent condition and Lucy Renaud's lovely eyes continue to regard us rather hauntingly as we pass by her tomb.
Lucy was born in 10 June 1847 in to Peter Thomas Renaud and his wife Mary Frances. Peter Renaud was third clerk to the Duchy of Lancaster and the family lived at 15 South Street (now Terrace), Thurloe Square, SW7, just south of the Victoria and Albert Museum on the Cromwell Road. Lucy was baptised at St Luke's in Chelsea and, four days after her twenty third birthday, was also married there to the 35 year old American Henry Clay Gallup. Henry had been born in Stonington, Connecticut in 1834, to an old New England family, their ancestors having moved there in the 1630's. Henry worked as a travelling agent selling patent medicines for the New York firm of Jeremiah Curtis & Sons. He was eventually made a partner and sent to London to set up a European branch of the business to be called the Anglo American Drug Company. By 1871 we know he had premises at 493 Oxford Street because he was a witness in a court case; a young man called Phillip Cann was indicted at Bow Street Police Court for fraudulently endorsing a cheque for £16. Cann worked for the Globe newspaper as an advertising canvasser and regularly took adverts from Henry Gallup. In April he called at Henry's premises and requested payment for the latest advertisements placed in the Globe. Henry wrote a cheque for £16 to the Globe's proprietor William Thomas Madge which Cann then fraudulently endorsed and cashed. The Illustrated Police News called Henry a "toilet manufacturer", and we know his products included Fragrant Florilene, a liquid tooth cleaner, and Mexican Hair Renewer. The business was obviously doing well because by the following year he was a director of the Cedar Creek Gold Mines and Water Company and his address was listed as 54 Guildford Street, Russell Square.
In 1881 Lucy and Henry were living at 39 Marine Parade, Brighton with their six year old son, Henry Junior. In the census returns for that year Henry lists himself as a retired merchant. Less than two years later Lucy was dead at the age of just 35. Henry must have been devastated. He only lasted another couple of years himself, dying in 1885 at his home, Preston House, The Avenue, Upper Norwood, leaving an estate valued at £131,947 14s 9d to his 11 year old orphaned son.
The classical statue that tops the memorial is generally supposed to be a portrait of Lucy Gallup

Cock Lane Humbug; the Ballad of Scratching Fanny - Mrs Frances Kent (1735-1760), St John's crypt, Clerkenwell
The burial register of St John's, Clerkenwell identfying Frances Kent as the Cock Lane Ghost
It would have been a strange scene; 1am on the night of the first of February 1762 in the vaults of St John's Clerkenwell, a group of unlikely ghost hunting gentlemen led by that stalwart champion of common sense, Dr Johnson, hold out guttering candles and push forward one William Kent, gesticulating for him to address himself to an unmarked coffin. The coffin had been placed in the vaults almost a year earlier by Kent himself, and held the remains of his common law wife Frances. William had no doubt only come on this midnight jaunt to the vaults with the greatest reluctance but he had to try and clear himself of the accusation of murdering his dead wife. Who had accused him? Why, Frances herself, who had apparently returned from the dead in the guise of Scratching Fanny, a ghost who manifested herself solely in the presence of a young girl, Elizabeth Parsons and at her father's house on Cock Lane, by the sound of fingernails scrabbling, scraping and knocking on wood. The father had devised a method of communicating with the ghost and thereby discovered that Frances had been murdered, poisoned, by her husband. Scratching Fanny became a public sensation and William Kent found his character blackened as a wife killer with seemingly no way to prove his innocence. There were sceptics however who were not convinced of the ghost's veracity and to silence the doubters Scratching Fanny announced, by her system of knocks, that she would manifest herself in her own coffin on the first night of February, the anniversary of her death, and publicly condemn her murdering husband. And this was why Dr Johnson and his colleagues were down in the crypt of St John's at one in the morning telling a trembling William Kent to stand in front of his wife's coffin and call out her name clearly. William did what was asked, several times but to everyone's relief, there was no response, no sign whatsoever of afterlife, from the cold and dusty coffin. Someone suggested opening the casket but the idea was quickly dismissed, William Kent was clearly innocent and the ghost of Scratching Fanny almost certainly a fraud.
The ghost's failure to appear did not stop the rumours, it merely rechanneled them. Newspapers and gossip mongers speculated that the reason Frances Kent did not manifest herself on the first of February was because someone had removed her corpse from the coffin! On 25 February William Kent in company with the undertaker who had buried Frances and the Parish Clerk and Sexton, made their way back into the vaults at St John's, but during the day this time. In practical terms it does not matter what time you visit a church crypt, it is always going to be dark. This time the coffin had to be opened, unscrewed by the undertaker, to expose the "very awful shocking sight" of Frances Kent's decomposing corpse. This episode dealt the final blow to the story and by July five people went on trial at the Guild Hall charged with conspiracy to take the life of William Kent by accusing him of the murder of Frances Lynes by giving her poison. At the trial the whole story was exposed.
It had begun with the marriage of William Kent and Elizabeth Lynes in Norfolk in 1756 or 1757. The marriage was short-lived because Elizabeth died in child birth, followed shortly by the baby. The distraught widower sought consolation in the arms of his wife's younger sister Frances but did the honourable thing by proposing marriage. The church proved to be an obstacle to their union as canon law forbade a marriage to the sister of a deceased wife if she had borne a living child, which Elizabeth had. William moved to London where Frances eventually joined him and the couple lived as man and wife, hoping that no one would discover the deception. The couple had problems with their landlord to whom William had lent £20; he discovered their illicit relationship and refused to pay back the loan, assuming that William would rather lose his money than risk exposure. He was wrong; William had him arrested. Whilst looking for new lodgings he met the parish clerk of St Sepulchre-without-Newgate, Richard Parsons, a man who liked a drink and whose finances were a little messy. Parsons offered lodgings to the young couple in his house in Cock lane where he lived with his wife and two daughters the eldest of which, a "little artful girl about eleven years of age" was called Elizabeth.
The Kent's initially got on well with the Parsons; William failing to learn from previous experience loaned his new landlord Richard Parsons 12 guineas. Strange phenomenon began to occur at Cock Lane, one night a local landlord was terrified by an apparition in white ascending the stairs of the house and while William was away in the country the now pregnant Frances took Elizabeth Parsons into her bed for company and then suffered a night of ominous knockings and scratchings which kept her awake until daylight. When William came home the couple moved to other accommodation but Frances became ill and was diagnosed with smallpox. Shortly before she died on 2 February 1760 she made a will leaving the bulk of her estate to William Kent. The Lynes family were furious and in Doctors Commons challenged the terms of Frances' will, which had left half a crown to each of her siblings and the rest of her not inconsiderable estate to William. While the legal battle still raged William remarried, no doubt further fuelling the family's animosity.
"English Incredulity", a contemporary satire on the Cock Lane ghost
Richard Parsons meanwhile had failed to repay William Kent's 12 guineas and in January 1762 he found himself in court, sued for the balance of the loan by his former tenant. At Cock Lane the supernatural noises which seemed to follow Elizabeth Parsons around coincidentally started up again at around the same time. Richard Parsons called in John Moore,the rector of St Bartholomew-the-Great in West Smithfield, for advice on the apparent haunting. The two men came to the conclusion that the noises were made by the ghost of Frances Kent and devised a system of interrogating it, one knock for yes, two knocks for no. Questioning the restless spirit soon revealed that she still walked the earth because she had not died, as everyone thought, of the smallpox, but of arsenic poisoning and that the toxin had been deliberately administered by her 'husband' William Kent. The story of the ghost spread like wildfire helped in large part by the London press which picked up on it very early and then followed every thrilling development for the next six months. The house in Cock Lane was soon besieged by interested spectators and Richard Parsons quickly became alert to the commercial possibilities of the haunting, charging admission to anyone who wanted a consultation with the spirit. The haunting became a cause célèbre, society visitors to Cock Lane included Horace Walpole and Prince Edward, Duke of York and Albany. Many of those who attended the séances were not convinced by the performance. Elizabeth Parsons generally remained tucked up in bed, often with her younger sister, and a female relative of the family, Mary Frazer, would run around the room crying "Fanny, Fanny why don't you come? Do come, pray Fanny, come; dear Fanny, come!" Eventually there would be a scratching or knocking sound from the bed, noises which often stopped if Elizabeth was instructed to put her hands outside the bed covers.
The ghost, details from Hogarth's
"Credulity, Superstition and Fanaticism"
Some of the sceptics prevailed on Samuel Fludyer, the Lord Mayor of London, to conduct an investigation. The Mayor appointed a panel which included Bishop John Douglas, Stephen Aldrich rector of St Johns, Clerkenwell, John Moore who was still a believer in the ghost and Samuel Johnson amongst others. The Cock Lane ghost committee began its investigations on February first by attending a séance and then taking part in the vigil in the crypt at St James, waiting for Frances Kent to make an appearance. The investigation continued on and off for most of February with the committee growing increasingly sceptical as the ghostly noises always stopped whenever they attended a séance. By the 21 February Elizabeth was being warned that if the noises did not start up again she and her father would be taken to Newgate Gaol; that same day the scratchings started but the maids in attendance told the investigators that they had seen Elizabeth secret a piece of wood about her person before she went to bed. A search soon revealed the 'ghost', a small wooden paddle with Elizabeth used to knock on the bedframe and scratch on the wall. John Moore finally realised that he had been taken in a by a hoax and published a retraction of his previous support but it was not enough to stop him being charged with conspiracy along with Richard Parsons and his wife, Mary Frazer and Richard James a tradesman. All five were tried at the Guildhall on 10 July 1762 on a charge brought by William Kent "for a conspiracy to take away his life by charging him with the murder of Frances Lynes by giving her poison whereof she died". The trial went on all day, the jury did not retire until almost 11.00pm but it took them only 15 minutes of deliberations to find all five accused guilty. Sentencing did not take place until February 1763 by which time the relatively wealthy John Moore and Richard James had agreed to pay William Kent £588 in damages; they were released on their promise to pay. The two women received gaol sentences in Bridewell, Mrs Parsons 1 year and Mary Frazer 6 months. Richard Parons was given two years and further ordered to be set in the pillory at the end of Cock Lane three times in the following month. The triple dose of the pillory terrified Parsons more than the prospect of another two years in gaol, London crowds routinely abused pilloried criminals, sometimes with horrific savagery. In the event on all three appearances the crowd took pity on him and rather than pelting him with cabbage stalks and dung passed around the hat and took up a collection.
Scratching Fanny in the pillory, detail from Hogarth's "The Times"
The Edmonton Brick Maker and the Coiners of Haringey; George Blackwell (1859-1911), Tottenham Cemetery
George Blackwell's headstone in Tottenham Cemetery; he had no known equine connections
The horse is probably a red herring (perhaps he was a betting man); George Blackwell was a brick maker, married to Jane, the beloved wife who put up his headstone and with whom he had at least six children. Although born in Southall he seems to have spent most of his adult life in Edmonton and Haringey. He was probably reasonably successful – as well as owning his own home at 49 Vernon Road, by 1905 he also owned number 37 Vernon Road and 121 Compton Road, both properties rented out as rooms to lodgers. Jane Blackwell had help managing her lodging houses, Mary Ann Gardiner who also lived on Vernon Road, at number 31, cleaned and collected rent for her as she was presumably quite busy enough looking after her numerous offspring. We know these sparse details from the lives of the Blackwell's because on 6 February 1905 two of their lodgers appeared at the Old Bailey accused of coining and counterfeiting.
In November 1904 Elizabeth Willis (née Gray), 33 years old and her 20 year old brother William rented two rooms, the front parlour and the kitchen, at Compton Road, from Jane Blackwell. A month later she moved them to two upstairs rooms at Vernon Road for a rent of six shillings a week. On 4 January 1905 William Gray was in Fore Street, Edmonton, buying cigarettes at at least two tobacconists. From Gambrill's he bought 2 penny's worth of Navy Cut tobacco, offering a dirty shilling as payment. At Jones' he bought a penny packet of Woodbines, again offering a dirty shilling in payment and getting his 11 pence change. Mrs Jones waited until he had gone to bite the shilling but once she had she raced out of the shop and caught up with Gray and his sister 300 yards down the road. "Give me back my 11d, you can keep the fags," she told the young man. Instead of returning her coppers Gray tried to pay her off with a two shilling piece. At this point Mr Jones arrived from the shop, grabbed Gray and started yelling for the police. PC John Dunford left Jones holding Gray and grabbed Willis. Both were taken first to Edmonton Police Station where they were searched and then to Stoke Newington station where they were charged the search having revealed one counterfeit shilling wrapped in tissue paper on Gray and three on Willis. A search of their rooms at 37 Vernon Road revealed a further 31 counterfeit shillings as well as materials for making the coins.
A week later, 11 January, 41 year old Henry Brown was arrested at his lodgings in Newton Road, Tottenham and charged with coining. He claimed to barely know Elizabeth Willis "I met this woman in the street, went home with her, and slept with her occasionally. The last time was just before she was locked up; I read about it in the 'Tottenham Herald'." At the trial various witnesses placed Brown regularly in the company of Willis and Gray at both Compton Street and Vernon Street. Residents of the lodging houses talked about 'white stuff' appearing in the privies after they had been used by Gray and by Brown, plaster of Paris dust from the moulds used to cast the fake coins. Brown continued to maintain his innocence, he told the court "I have been very intimate with Lizzie Gray; I visited her several times at her house. On no occasion of visiting her have I seen any counterfeit coins, or the making of them." William Gray backed his story, saying that Brown knew nothing of the counterfeiting operation and taking all the blame on himself. Whether he was nobly but misguidedly trying to save his friend or whether he was intimated by Brown we will never know. Elizabeth Willis pleaded guilty to passing false coins, she was given 12 months hard labour. Her brother was given 18 months. Brown, who had challenged all the witnesses while the others had kept silent, was not believed by the jury or the judge – he was pronounced guilty by one and given a four year sentence by the other. Quite rightly as it turned out.
From the Chelmsford Chronicle 10th January 1908
Brown must have earned some remission of his four year sentence because less than 3 years later he was back at the Old Bailey on the same charge. The police had raided a house in Grange Road, Plaistow and found false florins, a saucepan full of molten metal on the fire hob, and plaster of Paris moulds. 36 year old Alfred Stevens and one Martha Louisa Brown were arrested at the scene of the crime. While the police were searching the premises an unsuspecting Henry Brown sauntered in and found himself under arrest again. Stevens excuse that he was only on the premises to tune a piano was not believed and as he had previous form was given a six year sentence. Henry and Martha, presumably his wife, were both sentenced to four years. The police said that the prisoners were "the most scientific makers of moulds for coining in the Metropolis."

Advertising Falls To Lowest Share Of Time Spent With Media Ever
by Joe Mandese @mp_joemandese, March 1, 2018
Even as consumer time spent with media continues to expand -- inching up 0.3% last year -- the percentage of time consumers spend with ad-supported media continues to decline, according to the 2018 edition of an annual report tracking and forecasting consumer media usage.
The study, which was previewed by Research Intelligencer, comes as a major industry futurist -- Publicis' Rishad Tobaccowala -- predicts that ad-supported media exposure is about to experience a cliff effect, declining as much as 30% over the next five years as consumers shift their attention to non-ad-supported media.
The good news is that the total amount of time Americans spent consuming media rose to 70.7 hours per week last year. The bad news for Madison Avenue is that the share of time spent with ad-supported media fell to 44.4%, its lowest point ever.
The report, published by PQ Media, projects that ad-supported media's share of consumer time will fall to 42.5% by 2021, as consumers shift more of their time and attention to media that has little or no advertising in it -- mainly subscription services for consuming video, audio and other forms of media.
"I can't agree with him on the 30% [projection]," Leo Kivijarv, a partner at PQ Media -- who, along with founder Patrick Quinn, authored the new report.
"I read and re-read Rishad's comments," Quinn said, adding: "I have a lot of respect for Rishad." But PQ is sticking with its more moderate rate of ad-supported media erosion over the near term, because the analysts believe it's not a wholesale abandonment of advertising, but more of a shift to new forms, such as brand integrations and content marketing that may not fit into classic categorization.
The bigger question, says Quinn, is the overall "deceleration" in the rapid expansion of consumer time spent with media that happened with the Internet, mobile and other forms of digital media.
"What's the next new thing?" he ponders, adding that PQ is closely tracking the emergence of new platforms such as IoT, bots, AI and so-called "proximity marketing" and "smart technology" that could make brand marketing less blatant and more integrated into media experiences.
"Things like McCormick & Co., which is working with MIT to figure out how to recommend its spices to consumers when someone opens their smart refrigerator," Quinn explains.
Meanwhile, ad-supported media continues to dominate share of consumer time on a global basis, largely thanks to the role that traditional media continue to play in developing markets worldwide. According to PQ's latest projections, ad-supported media currently represents two-thirds (66.5%) of the 7.3 hours consumers spend with media worldwide. PQ projects that ad-supported media's share will fall to 63.4% by 2021.

Ed Papazian from Media Dynamics Inc, March 1, 2018 at 12:35 p.m.
Joe,judging by the hours-per-day aspect of the chart it seems to count only TV, radio and print media as "ad-supported" while the rest, which I assume is mainly digital media is classified as not ad-supported. But, from an advertising standpoint aren't there a lot of ads of various types on digital platforms? So, if the main point is that "linear TV", broadcast radio and printed editions of magazines and newspapers are slowly declining in collective share relative to other forms of media---mainly digital---that's not exactly breaking news.
The main point I got from Rishad's conjecturing was that advertisers may soon be running out of places and venues where they can advertise---hence the 30% possible decline that he cited in advertising availablilties. Sorry, but I don't get this. If digital media is growing in terms of uage---as is the case--and digital media is, for the most part, a large collection of ad vehicles, the only way that advertisers could lose 30% of their total advertising exposure opportunities would be if "linear TV" and broadcast radio were to lose a majority of their audience tonnage--or time spent. Then, and only then, you might see the 30% reduction in total advertising exposure availabilities that was speculated upon by Rishad.
Frankly, the trend lines so far don't come close to supporting that assumption for "linear TV" or for broadcast radio. Some attrition, sure---- that is to be expected with more media options competing for our time. But an almost total collapse----I don't see how one can predict that based on what has happened so far.
Joe Mandese from MediaPost, March 1, 2018 at 1:05 p.m.
@Ed: I just tried pasting PQ Media's boilerplate delineating the media it tracks, but it is eight pages of fine print and MediaPost's comments field apparently has a character limit. I will forward you that in a separate email.
I believe the main distinction PQ uses to bucket which media going into ad-supported vs. consumer-supported media is which is the "primary" source of revenues for that medium.
Re. Rishad's projection, I cannot speak for him, but I don't think it was based on a decline in advertising availabilities. I think it was based on a decline in the share in the amount of time consumers spend actually being exposed to those availabilities.
It's an aggressive projection, for sure, but we'll find out in the next five years. I think Rishad believes we are reaching an inflection point vis a vis consumer tolerance of all those advertising availabilities and that they are finding alternatives becuase they don't believe it's worth their time.
Ed Papazian from Media Dynamics Inc, March 1, 2018 at 4:44 p.m.
Joe, the way I see it, Rishad was probably speculating on a very sharp decline in "linear TV" viewing by the average adult as he certainly wasn't thinking that this would happen to digital media---which also conveys ads to consumers.
As you know, we have projected time spent estimates by various demographic segments for many years in our reports, "TV Dimensions" and Intermedia Dimensions". ---in the latter case for all media. Looking at the trend data, which shows a modest decline for both "linear TV" and radio for all adults and, as we know, a greater one for light viewing 18-34s, I can find no basis for the huge fall off in "linear TV" usage that would be required to diminish the amount of total ad carrying media usage that Rashid says might happen.
We often equate total TV viewing with broadcast network primetime entertainment shows, however these constitute a small minority of the TV content that most adults consume. For TV to lose most of its viewing time, people would have to give up on the AM news/talk fare, most daytime shows, most news shows, the late night stuff, reality shows, virtually all sports viewiing plus lots of other kinds of content as well as primetime network dramas and sitcoms. Unless we believe that SVOD/OTT is going to take over all of these genres---no sign of that happening----why would viewers divert so much viewing time to SVOD/OTT? The primetime entertainment shows get most of the buzz but we need and get a lot more than that from TV.
@Ed: I'm not sure, but in covering Rishad and in some follow ups, that never came up. I don't think he was pinning it explicitly to linear TV, but in consumers either choosing to use non-ad-supported media options or using technology to advoid advertising in ad-supported ones, like ad-blockers which impact browser-based media. I'll see if I can follow up and get a more explicit sense from him about which media will be impacted specifically.

Ever Gold [Projects] is pleased to present Hand to Mouth, a solo exhibition by Ghanaian artist Serge Attukwei Clottey and his US West Coast debut. The exhibition focuses on works created with the surplus of leftover plastic water jugs or "Kufuor gallons" currently causing an environmental catastrophe in the artist's home country. Reconfiguring the gallon containers as components in paintings and sculptures, Attukwei examines the migration of these objects and how they can serve as both cultural relics and symbols of consumption and waste. Works from Attukwei's Kufuor Gallons and Common Man series will be on view, in addition to freestanding wood and plastic sculptures from his Uncolonized Portraits series and an ongoing screening of his film The Displaced. This is the first show for Ever Gold [Projects] in its new exhibition space at Minnesota Street Project and will be on view March 18 through April 30, 2016. An opening reception will be held Friday, March 18 from 6-9:30 pm, with the artist in attendance.
Applying traditional Ghanaian folk aesthetics to his compositions with the collected gallons, Attukwei "makes paintings without paint." Cutting the gallons into small pieces, the artist shapes the plastic over an open flame—a process similar to the action of bronze sculpting. Binding the multicolored plastic sections together with copper, he combines the ever-present plastic waste with one of the most valuable commodities in the Ghanaian market. His mixed media paintings and sculptural works also incorporate locally sourced textiles, salvaged electronic gadgets, and found wood, bones, and shells.
The exhibition will contain 10 large-scale works from the series Kufuor Gallons. Also on view is a selection of smaller works from Attukwei's Common Man series, in which Attukwei isolates the tops of the gallon containers, which resemble traditional Afrian masks, against backgrounds of traditional local textiles.
Accompanying the paintings and sculptures in the exhibition is an ongoing screening of The Displaced, an 11 minute film documenting a performance by Attukwei and his performance collective, GoLokal, in which Attukwei embarks on a symbolic journey in remembrance of his ancestral migration from Bukom to Labadi aboard a canoe in the ocean. As an integral part of his practice, Attukwei utilizes solo and group performances as a means to provoke dialogue and promote community development, with some embarking into political protest.
Serge Attukwei Clottey (b. 1985, Accra, Ghana) lives and works in Accra, Ghana. Clottey attended the Ghanatta College of Art and Design in Ghana before studying at the Escola Guinard University of Art in Brazil and has completed multiple fellowships abroad. He currently works in a variety of media including performance, photography, video, painting, drawing, and sculpture. Recent exhibitions include Gold Standard at Ever Gold [Projects] (San Francisco, 2019); Defying the Narrative: Contemporary Art from West and Southern Africa at Ever Gold [Projects] (San Francisco, 2018); Everyday Myth: Survival and Sustenance at Ever Gold [Projects] (San Francisco, 2018); Differences between at Jane Lombard Gallery (New York, 2018); The Displaced at Gallery 1957 at Lawrie Shabibi Gallery (Dubai, 2018); Hand to Mouth at Ever Gold [Projects] (San Francisco, 2016); My Mother's Wardrobe at Gallery 1957 (Ghana, 2016); Earthly Conversations at GNYP Gallery (Berlin, 2016); The Displaced at Feuer/Mesler (New York, 2015), We Don't Contemporary at Kampnagel Hamburg (Hamburg, 2015); The Silence of Ordinary Things at The Mistake Room (Los Angeles, 2015); Du Bois In Our Time II at the University Museum of Contemporary Art (Amherst, MA, 2014); and Cultures in Confluence at the Goethe-Institut Ghana (Accra, 2011). His work is in the collection of the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art (Overland Park, Kansas), the Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden (Marrakech, Morocco), the Nubuke Foundation (Accra, Ghana), the Seth Dei Foundation (Accra, Ghana), Modern Forms (UK), and The World Bank Collection (Washington D.C.), as well as a number of international private collections.
Serge Attukwei Clottey, "American Lottery", 2015. Plastic, wire and oil paint. 51 x 94 inches.
Serge Attukwei Clottey's plastic tapestries bring to light one of the paradoxes of environmental intervention: creating a new problem while attempting to fix an old one. To address the drought in Clottey's native Ghana in the early 2000s, then-president John Kufuor had water dispersed across the country in brightly colored jugs that came to be known as Kufuor gallons. Since discarded, thousands of these plastic containers now pollute the Ghanaian landscape and serve as the artist's primary sculptural material. After cutting the jugs into rectangles and arranging the pieces into a kind of patchwork quilt threaded with wire, the artist draws on Ghanaian folk aesthetics for his compositions—floating simple white, red, and blue shapes in a mostly yellow field. With ten of these works on view here, their similarities are broken up only by marks in paint or ink on the surface of some. In American Lottery, 2015, scrawled phrases such as "We Trust" and "Yes We Can" provide a social dimension to these mostly abstract works. Simultaneously optimistic, and ironic, with these words, Clottey underscores the complicated symbiotic relationship between people and their environment.
The artist amplifies this political message with works from his series "Common Man," 2014–16. For these, he has taken the tops from the plastic containers and mounted them on supports made from traditional Ghanaian textiles. With the handle of each flask now resembling a nose and the spout a mouth, the objects read as portraits, or African masks. Some of the mouths are distorted, gaping holes that, when paired with a lack of eyes and the roughed up surface of the plastic, convey anguish and suffering. In this way, these works become totems of both salvation and devastation.


This book challenges a ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_Ì´å«sacred cowÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_ÌÎå´ in the modern church concerning its central figure. That figure has nothing to do with Jesus. WeÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇre talking about the pastor. Jon Zens has hit upon one of the biggest departures from the New Testament (NT) in what calls itself church.
JonÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇs book is a call to return to the biblical design where Christ is the head and everyone has a role to work as a part of the body, both leaders and developing believers. The early church didnÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇt have useless functions like ushering, special music and Sunday school attendance, which have nothing to do with the maturing of the saints. The early church was more like a basic training camp where people were all functional and/or training towards it.
If you are tired of Sunday-going-to-meeting and donÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇt know why, read this book and see if youÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇre not encouraged. This book is about solutions. Jon feels as much for the ministers who are victimized by the ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_Ì´å«pastoral systemÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_ÌÎå´ as he does for parishioners who are left to warm pews and throw money for their entire existence in what calls itself church.

If Facebook is still considering entering China, it needs to look closely at the country's proposed new Internet rules. Yesterday, the State Council Information Office posted a draft update of its Internet guidelines that will make it harder for social media users to remain anonymous and even easier for the government to clamp down on behavior that it deems unacceptable.
The updated document defines microblogs such as Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo as Internet service providers and requires their parent companies to hold a licence to run the services. The proposed changes would also mean forum and blog users would have to register with their real names. A similar requirement was added to the guidelines in December for Weibo users but so far has proven ineffective. It caused a fuss at the time but Sina, for one, has dragged its feet on implementing the changes without getting into trouble.
As the blog Tea Leaf Nation points out, what matters most in this case is the message behind the impending law change. Chinese authorities already control the Internet as they see fit, blocking sites that breach sensitive subjects and assigning criminal liability to any service providers that facilitate speech that fits into any of nine categories of "harmful information". The government, however, is now making it loud and clear that the social media services operate only because it lets them.
The draft law also grants the government more power of oversight, adding more forms, approvals, and registrations, and demanding that sites keep as many as 12 months' worth of their activity available for inspection. The current law only requires 60 days' worth. And the new preamble, Tea Leaf Nation notes, lists "protecting national safety and public interest" as one of its objectives. It would also clamp down on speech that "incites illegal gatherings".
Bill Bishop, a Beijing-based independent consultant and author of the Sinocism blog and newsletter, says the changes are not surprising. "People have been expecting some sort of a licensing process for Weibo since last summer," he says. That was around the time the Chinese authorities started their campaign against online rumors. "The real issue is going to be if the government is serious about real name registration." To date, the government's moves to enforce real name registration have amounted to empty talk.
These new rules will only further complicate any China ambitions the Mandarin-speaking Mark Zuckerberg may have.
Update: For further reading on just how unlikely it is that we will see Facebook in the Middle Kingdown any time soon, see Chinese Internet-watcher William Moss's informed take, written on the heels of Zuckerberg's March visit to Shanghai.

An Economic Theory of Moore's Law to win Nobel Prize
But the rate at which we approached these thresholds and correspondingly how quickly we will move past them is a question of Moore's law. While it may seem as if it took forever to get to this point, innovation will accelerate exponentially. The music industry should take heed of the following: "If you think it's bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet."
Digital Music: The Real Law Is Moore's Law
In a little over a decade I could have a copy of every piece of music ever made in human history. Let's say 15 to get vinyl records that won't be converted to CD online.
My prediction (along an entirely different line): the first economist to describe a credible theory of making money in an environment of overabundance will win the Nobel Prize.
Scratch that: the winner will be the first economist to propose what amounts to a potlatch economy to the global scale will be the one to win the Nobel Prize.

"Really, I think of it in terms of rock climbing. He's the guy at the bottom of the hill at the end of the rope. So if something really terrible happens, you're not gonna plummet to your death." - Edge on his relationship with Dallas Schoo, U2's guitar tech.
The song 'One Tree Hill' is named after the highest volcanic hill in Auckland and was dedicated to Greg Carroll, who had become Bono's personal assistant. Greg Carroll was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1986.

ed — перший стандартний текстовий редактор операційної системи UNIX, застосовувався на початку 1970-х. Розширена його версія, відома як ex, послужила основою редактора vi.

Має командно-орієнтований інтерфейс, оскільки створювався в ті часи, коли моніторів не існувало і стандартним засобом введення-виведення був телетайп.

Після появи екранно-орієнтованих редакторів ed став використовуватися в першу чергу для автоматичної обробки за допомогою командної оболонки UNIX, наприклад, для застосування патчів. У такій якості, він є родоначальником сімейства потокових редакторів, таких, як sed.

Могутнім продовженням ідей ed є текстовий редактор sam, який був написаний для Plan 9.

Команди редактора ed використовуються і в інших рядкових редакторах. Наприклад редактор EDLIN, що використався в ранніх версіях MS-DOS, мав аналогічний синтаксис, а вбудовані редактори в багатьох іграх типу MUD (наприклад LPMud і похідні) використовують схожий синтаксис. Проте, в більшості своїй, ці редактори мають значно обмеженішу функціональність.

Команди

ed - текстовий редактор, базовим об'єктом маніпулювання якого є рядки. Підтримує два режими роботи: командний та вводу даних. Робота починається з командного режиму. Для переходу в режим вводу даних використовуються команди:
 'a' (append),
 'i' (insert),
 'c' (change).
Ввід даних закінчується крапкою (.) у новому рядку.

Команди маніпулювання з рядками:
 'd' (delete) видаляє рядки,
 'm' (move) переміщує їх.

Адміністративні команди
 'w' (write) запис в файл
 'q' (quit) вихід з ed

Взагалі команди мають наступну структуру: [address [,address]]command[parameters]

У редакторі ed команди діють тільки на поточний рядок. Спочатку це перший рядок файла, потім той, що був задіяний останнім під час роботи з попередньою командою.

Адресація рядків

 . Поточний рядок
 $ Останній рядок
 n n-ний рядок файлу
 - попередній рядок
 ^n n попередніх рядків
 + наступний рядок
 +n n наступних рядків
 , усі рядки, еквівалентно до 1,$
 ; з поточного рядка до кінця файла
 /re/ наступний рядок, що підпадає під регулярний вираз
 ?re? попередній рядок, що підпадає під регулярний вираз

Методи роботи з ed
Крім традиційного режиму роботи з ed, можна працювати з редактором також:

 За допомогою конвеєра UNIX
echo '<ED-COMMANDS>' | ed <FILE>
 За допомогою перенаправлення
ed <FILE> < '<ED-COMMANDS>'
 За допомогою Here-document
ed <FILE> << EOF
<ED-COMMANDS>
EOF

Приклад роботи
Є файл з таким змістом
London
Paris
Prague

Потрібно з даного файлу отримати файл нового змісту
Paris
Prague
Kyiv

Для цього виконуємо в редакторі ed команди:
3a
Kyiv
.
Дана команда додає після третього рядка (3a) рядок зі змістом "Kyiv"

1d
w
q

Видаляємо перший рядок (1d), записуємо зміни в файл (w) та виходимо з редактора (q).

As Adam Green, a young boy with a blond mullet, you must ward off evil poachers and learn about the science and ecology of the rainforest in this edutainment adventure game.
The second game in the EcoQuest edutainment series finds protagonist Adam accompanying his ecologist father on a journey to Iquitos, Peru. There, the player learns about the rainforest's indigenous people and endangered wildlife. The "entertainment" portion of the "edutainment" formula is filled by the search for El Dorado, the legendary lost city of gold. Play Lost Secret of the Rainforest online!
In Lost Secret of the Rainforest the player controls a boy named Adam Greene who, along with his father Noah, a doctor of ecology, travels to the town Iquitos in South America, to meet the Ecology Emergency Network. The two intend to go on an expedition up the Amazon river and try to establish contact with a native tribe known as the Grove People. After having separated from his father, Adam must venture into the rainforest, discover the secret of the mysterious Forest Heart and find the lost City of Gold in his pursuit of a remedy for the Grove People.
This sequel to EcoQuest: The Search for Cetus is similar to its predecessor in presentation and gameplay, being an adventure game with educational elements. Like the first game, it has an icon-based interface and does not allow the player to get irrevocably stuck in the game or let the player character die. A specific feature of this installment is the so-called "Ecorder", a device Adam uses to record information about the flora and fauna of the area he explores.
