OSHKOSH – Looking at the plane with colorful nose art and black and white stripes painted on its wings, it's easy to imagine it waiting to take off with other aircraft on a moonless night in 1944, it's cargo hold filled with anxious paratroopers.
A C-47 transport plane dubbed "That's All, Brother" was one of the lead aircraft in the D-Day invasion and was found three years ago in the boneyard of Basler Aviation in Oshkosh.
If not for a mix of luck and serendipity, it was just weeks away from being turned into a twin turboprop hauling cargo in Canada. Instead, its heroic pedigree was discovered and efforts were undertaken to restore the aircraft to what it looked like in June 1944. On Monday night the newly restored "That's All, Brother" was unveiled at an event at the Oshkosh airport on the first day of EAA AirVenture.
"It's pretty amazing where the plane has come from since 2015," said Joe Enzminger, wing leader of the Commemorative Air Force's Central Texas Wing. "Now we're standing in a plane that for all intents and purposes flew just like this on June 6, 1944."

"That's All, Brother" led a squadron of other C-47s in the D-Day invasion because it was outfitted with a rare airborne radar that helped it home in on beacons in France. The plane's name was meant to send a message to Adolf Hitler.
In the cockpit, everything has been restored just as it was on D-Day except with hidden modern avionics to allow the plane to be easily flown in the 21st Century. Restoration crews scoured eBay for period first aid kits hanging from the interior.

The only thing that hasn't been found is the radar used in "That's All, Brother" that night. Restorers are still looking for one or might replicate it to fit into the brackets where it was attached to the plane.
The biggest challenge was finding money for the multi-million dollar restoration project by its non-profit owner, Texas-based Commemorative Air Force. A Kickstarter campaign begun in 2015 helped raise money and ultimately thousands of people pitched in along with large donors and corporations.

Basler Aviation restored the plane to flying capability while volunteers in Oklahoma handled the interior restoration. Historical aviation experts in Minnesota helped with research, and a team of volunteers in Texas painted the plane.
Though "That's All, Brother" had corrosion issues, overall, it was in surprisingly good shape, said Andy Maag, restoration project coordinator.
"It really tells the story of the DC-3 and C-47. They're built really tough," Maag said. "We have no doubt we can fly it for another 75 years."

Les Andersen replaces skin on a 1942 C-47 at Basler Turbo Conversions in Oshkosh, Wis. Five hours before the D-Day beach landings began, this plane named "That's All, Brother" led a formation of more than 800 aircraft that dropped 13,000 paratroopers behind enemy lines in Normandy, France in June 1944. Mark Hoffman/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
The C-47 and its Navy counterpart R4D, the military counterparts of the DC-3, were among the workhorses of the war, hauling troops and cargo in the Pacific and European theaters. During the D-Day invasion more than 800 C-47s carried 13,000 paratroopers and towed hundreds of gliders.
Among the C-47 pilots on D-Day was Dave Hamilton, who flew a different plane than "That's All, Brother." The 96-year-old Arizona veteran was dressed in a World War II uniform Monday night — not the same one he wore in the war — and clambered aboard "That's All, Brother" where memories flooded back.
"We were too busy to be nervous. I knew all the paratroopers in the back of my plane because I had jumped with (them) during training," said Hamilton, who flew with the 9th Troop Carrier Command.

Hamilton piloted the 14th plane to take off from North Witham Airfield in England at 11 p.m. June 5, dropping off paratroopers about 1:15 a.m. and returning to the base at 4 a.m. where he counted 300 holes in the fuselage from bursting flak.
Hamilton flew 100 missions in Europe and hopes to return to Normandy for next year's 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. He hasn't been back since 1960, and he's hoping to return by flying as a passenger in "That's All, Brother." The Commemorative Air Force is working on bringing "That's All, Brother" to France along with other World War II planes for the D-Day anniversary.
None of the D-Day crew of "That's All, Brother" is still alive but researchers tracked down family members, including the son and daughter of navigator John Shallcross, a Chicago native who died in 2009 at the age of 90.

Neither Lisa Schaefer nor her brother Scott Shallcross heard many D-Day stories from their father, who like many World War II vets seldom talked about his experiences.
"I remember him saying 'Yeah, I went on leave in England and flew to France.' He said he was the navigator on the lead plane (during D-Day) but that was about it," Schaefer said Monday after getting a tour of "That's All, Brother."
Schaefer wore her father's dog tag at the event unveiling "That's All, Brother." She and her brother also brought some of their father's mementos including medals, ID card and a letter he wrote to a nephew in May 1945 explaining his part in the D-Day invasion. Photos they found of their father next to "That's All, Brother" were sent to plane restorers and used to help with the exterior markings.
The siblings live in California and decided a few weeks ago to travel to Oshkosh to see their dad's plane after following the restoration process online.
"I got a little teary walking inside. It's so exciting," Schaefer said.

20 Pax Posted in the gloom to take a moment and reflect on the significance of the day and honor those that sacrificed (and continue to sacrifice to this day). In all, 2996 people lost their lives that day, and more would follow. We took just a small bit of time out of our morning to honor this.
Complete a 1.1mile uphill run to Destination (Lafayette Park) with no man behind. Pax completed this in 9 min 4 secs….no penalty.
I would like to take a moment and reflect on the significance of the day and honor those that sacrificed (and continue to sacrifice to this day).
"343" honoring the 343 firefighters who died on 9/11.
During the September 11 attacks of 2001, 2,996 people were killed (including the 19 hijackers) and more than 6,000 others injured. These immediate deaths included 265 on the four planes (including the terrorists), 2,606 in the World Trade Center and in the surrounding area, and 125 at the Pentagon.
At the time of the attacks, media reports suggested that tens of thousands might have been killed, as on any given day upwards of 100,000 people could be inside the towers.
Only 14 people escaped from the impact zone of the South Tower (floors 77 to 85) after it was struck by United Airlines Flight 175, and only four people from the floors above it.
No one survived in or above the impact area in the North Tower.
After the towers collapsed, only 23 individuals in or below the towers escaped from the debris, including 15 rescue workers.
As of August 2013, medical authorities concluded that 1,140 people who worked, lived, or studied in Lower Manhattan at the time of the attack have been diagnosed with cancer as a result of "exposure to toxins at Ground Zero". It has been reported that over 1,400 9/11 rescue workers who responded to the scene in the days and months after the attacks have since died. At least 11 pregnancies were lost as a result of 9/11.
Complete a 1.1mile run back to Ole' Glory with no man behind. Pax completed this in under 9 min…….no penalty. Well done..
COT: Pax is well. Great to have FNG Nate get crowned with no better name then "Florence". Glad to have Bocephus join us as well. Prayers to all those in its way. We pray for everyones safety and well being. We pray for our first responders, especially those families of them and civilians lost in 9/11 and each and every day they are in harms way. Please keep Little Debbie's 2.0 in your prayers. Peter Pans college friend has Parkinson's and is going through an extremely rough patch in marriage. Please pray for him. Congrats to Antoine, his Screen Write has been picked up, big step and hope to find its way into a directors hands soon. Hell of a push…stay safe…Have a great week!

State Net Capitol Journal Legislative Updates: Illinois Governor Vetoes Plastic Bag Recycling
ENVIRONMENT: ILLINOIS Gov. Pat Quinn (D) vetoes SB 3442, which would have required plastic bag manufacturers to set up collection and recycling programs and barred local municipalities from establishing their own plans (QUAD-CITY TIMES). • The U. S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia overturns Environmental Protection Agency rules that set how much air pollution 28 states must reduce to avoid incurring violations in downwind states. The court said the EPA exceeded its authority by requiring states "to reduce their emissions by more than their own significant contribution to a downwind state's nonattainment." The regulation was the EPA's attempt to deal with states which meet federal air quality standards but whose industries emit significant pollution that impacts other states (NEW YORK TIMES). • The CALIFORNIA Senate gives final approval to SB 1221, which would bar the use of dog packs to hunt bears and bobcats. The measure is now with Gov. Jerry Brown (D) for review (STATE NET). • MASSACHUSETTS lawmakers give final approval to HB 4306, a bill that would require Bay State homeowners and others to use only low-phosphorus or phosphorus-free fertilizers on their lawns. The measure, which is now with Gov. Deval Patrick (D), exempts new lawns, agriculture and turf farms (BOSTON HERALD).
ENERGY: The CALIFORNIA Assembly gives final approval to AB 1456, which would require state regulators to adopt safety standards for natural-gas pipelines and allow the state to fine utilities that fail to meet those benchmarks. It is now with Gov. Jerry Brown (D) for review (SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE).
A REAL HEAT WAVE: Government agencies buy all kinds of things, so a call for bids to supply the feds with a large amount of ammunition isn't at all unusual. Unless, of course, the agency in question is the National Weather Service. As the Tampa Bay Times reports, a recent NWS request for 24,000 rounds of hollow point .40 caliber bullets and a plethora of paper targets had some folks wondering if the nation's weather geeks were trading in talking about the nation's blistering summer temperatures for a chance to start packing some real heat. Alas, the whole thing was just a clerical error. The bid request was supposed to be for the law enforcement arm of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, which employs 63 armed officers tasked with enforcing the nation's ocean and fishing laws. The error has since been corrected.

Gage Roads Brewing Co (GRB) has revealed it has successfully completed a capital raising initiative to raise $8m from institutions and sophisticated investors through over 84 million shares at an issue price of $0.095.
The brewer said that the capital raised will go to a number of packaging line expansions and improvements. Those improvements include installing a new commercial-scale canning line as well as a high-speed bottle filler and other plant improvements.
In a statement about the capital raising, GRB said that the improvements will "drive increased plant efficiencies that will result in lower operating costs and improved earnings".
GRB currently has a small-scale pilot canning in place and has so far released its Single Fin Summer Ale, Alby Draught and Alby Crisp in cans. The brewer said that the new canning line will mean a significant increase in the amount of cans it produces and that more beers will be available to retailers and consumers.
The company also said that with the new canning line and bottle filler in place as well as the other plant improvements it expects to increase cost efficiencies, reduce waste and is targeting additional earnings of $1.5m to $2.5m by the 2022 financial year.

Queen's Indigenous health researcher named Indspire Award winner
Tuesday February 4, 2020
By Dave Rideout, Senior Communications Officer
Assistant professor Karen Lawford honoured for outstanding career achievements in health.

The first Indigenous midwife in Canada to earn a doctoral degree will be recognized with a 2020 Indspire Award – the most prestigious career excellence award bestowed by the Indigenous community on its own people. Queen's University's Karen Lawford has been named one of this year's 12 outstanding Indigenous leaders, and will be honoured with the Indspire Award for Health at a nationally-televised ceremony on March 6.
Queen's assistant professor Karen Lawford.
"I am incredibly honoured to have my career achievements recognized by Indigenous Peoples and by Indspire," says Dr. Lawford, a registered midwife, Aboriginal midwife, and assistant professor in the Department of Gender Studies engaged in research examining the provision of maternity care on reserves in Canada. "My achievements, however, are not accomplished without meaningful relationships and trust from Indigenous peoples. I strive to continue working with Indigenous communities to bring to light the discrepant health care services that are provided to those who live on reserves and outside of large urban settings."
Closures of birthing units in rural and remote Indigenous communities across Canada have resulted in medical evacuation to southern, urban medical centres becoming normal practice. Dr. Lawford's most recent study looked at Health Canada's evacuation policy for those living on reserves in Manitoba.
"These sorts of policies are exacerbating the maternity health crisis facing our communities nationwide," says Dr. Lawford, who is from Lac Seul First Nation. "I do hope my research and policy contributions are considered by decision makers so that Indigenous peoples are able to grow their families and communities in a manner that supports their specific health and wellness needs."
Dr. Lawford also examines Indigenous women and Two Spirit leadership in health care and health science as part of her research.
"There have been concerted efforts to dismantle the governance systems of Indigenous peoples, with specific efforts to destroy the roles of women and Two Spirt community members," she says. "My research in this area aims to begin the restoration of their roles, and to amend this imbalance of representation in health care and health science. Currently, health care does not represent the populations they serve. We need leadership to shift more quickly so that systemic change can be realized."
In reflecting on her career up until now, Dr. Lawford says that her most meaningful career accomplishment culminated in earning a tenure-track faculty role at Queen's, which signaled institutional support of her research.
"I feel a great sense of responsibility to ensure Indigenous academics and Indigenous midwives are supported within the academe," she says.
Queen's Principal and Vice-Chancellor Patrick Deane expressed his congratulations to Dr. Lawford on behalf of the university.
"Dr. Lawford's research profoundly informs our collective understanding of the challenges faced by Indigenous communities with respect to access to health care, particularly maternity care, in Canada. Her work brings to light inequities still to be addressed and is a shining example of how research can facilitate necessary change," he says.
To learn more about Karen Lawford's Indspire Award win and the full list of this year's winners, visit the Indspire Awards website. Following the award ceremony on March 6, it will be broadcast Sunday, June 21 on CBC, APTN, and CBC Radio One.

The Ministry of Public Administration submitted on 15.03.2016, the project application for Croatian project "Ensuring Access to Croatian Public e-Services within e-Citizens Platform for EU / EEA Citizens", labeled CEF eID 2015-HR-IA-0069., for a call for proposals under the Connecting Europe Facility, which was published on 17.11.2015. The objective of the project is to enable citizens from other EU Member States to access public electronic services provided by Croatian institutions within the e-Citizens Platform, using their national credentials or electronic identification means issued in other Member States.
The project application was selected on 23.08.2016. by the European Agency, which conducted the evaluation, and the European Commission approved the co-financing of the project through the grant allocation in the total declared amount.
Purpose and duration of the project
Through this project, the e-Croatia Directorate aims to establish HR eIDAS-Node using CEF eID BB software module and existing National Identification and Authentication System NIAS, thus expanding the national e-Citizens Platform, an important part of the Croatian state information infrastructure. The module has been developed for this purpose by the European Commission and it is in line with the European eIDAS Electronic Identification and Trust Services for Electronic Transactions in the Internal Market. The Republic of Croatia will establish an interoperable solution for cross-border electronic identification of citizens from other Member States when using Croatian public e-services.
The duration of the project is one year, from 15.06.2016. to 14.06.2017.
Information about the Grant Agreement (GA)
The Grant Agreement was concluded by the Ministry of Public Administration and the INEA Agency (Innovation and Networks Executive Agency) on behalf of the European Commission, for the purpose of co-financing part of the cost of implementing the CEF eID project, prepared by the e-Croatia Directorate in co-operation with the Financial Agency and other interested state institutions that form the Croatian project consortium.
Partner institutions in the project are:
Ministry of Public Administration as coordinator and lead institution,
Financial Agency as technical operator and
Ministry of Finance - Tax Administration
Croatian Pension Insurance Institute
Croatian Health Insurance Fund
Agency for Science ang Higher Education
Croatian Academic and Research Network (CARNet)
University of Zagreb, University Computing Centre
The Croatian National Tourist board
as providers of public e-services for foreign nationals from the EU / EEA.
The amount of donated funds is 461,234 euros, which represents 75% of the total value of the registered and approved project, which is 614,979 euros. Each institution finances its share of the planned costs from its own resources, and upon successful completion of the project receives 75% of the refund.

CHP's in-house debate deepens over İnce, Kılıçdaroğlu row
The in-house debate in the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) continues over the dissident's demand to change the party administration as the CHP leader voiced his criticism to Muharrem İnce, who has lead the dissidents following his presidential candidacy.
The main opposition's party assembly has witnessed serious discussions over the dissident's criticism to the party administration on Aug. 29, party sources reported.
The assembly convened to make an assessment on the June 24 election results as the party's top executive body has prepared a detailed report on the party's campaigning and future road map.
Party sources said that during the meeting, dissidents criticized the administration, adopting the wrong method in determination of lawmaker candidates resulting in decrease in trust in electors. They proposed the party administration to reach the lost electors, however their demand was refused. They also criticized the method in determining the local candidates for the upcoming local elections to be held on March 2019.
It was reported Kılıçdaroğlu also voiced his discomfort with Muharrem İnce's push for a change in leadership as he had initiated a dissident move.
"I had presented İnce as a candidate for presidency for him to be the president. I had his name in mind. But what was done next has not given trust," he reportedly said.
The social democrat party's presidential candidate's energetic campaigning throughout the election period has created momentum for CHP members, who have been critical to the current administration, to initiate a dissident movement, in demand of a change in Kılıçdaroğlu's team.
They had launched a campaign to push for a snap congress, however, they failed to garner a sufficient number of signatures to convey a congress with a leadership change.
Following Kılıçdaroğlu's criticism, İnce criticized the party administration harshly on his official Twitter account, accusing the leadership of "lying."
"There was a meeting to make an assessment on election results 66 days after the elections. It is a problem not to invite the presidential candidate to this meeting, and the other problem is to lie in the meeting," İnce posted on Aug. 29.
CHP, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, Muharrem İnce


This lightweight gage is used for in-process or bench inspection of oil grooves, snap ring retainer grooves, "O" ring seat retainer grooves and similar internal recesses. It is also useful for checking bore dimensions and testing for taper, bell-mouth and out-of-roundness.
The movable, sensitive gaging contact has a 1/2" (12.7mm) retractable range and transfers the measurement through a linear, friction-free transfer mechanism to the dial indicator. The lower reference jaw is fixed and supports the entire weight of the gage and the operator`s hands, thus preventing incorrect gaging pressure and false readings.
The reference jaw can be mounted in two positions on the range adjusting bar. The bar itself is also adjustable for greater or lesser range. A fine adjustment screw and a lock are also provided.
Gage can be set with gage blocks or other methods such as micrometers, vernier calipers and ring gages.
Special jaws for 4" and 6" (100mm and 150mm) gaging depths, a diameter range extension bar from 6-12" (150-300mm), dial indicators graduated in .001", or any special modification of gaging contacts and jaws, are also available by request through our Special Order Department.
Style 1-10 is for the smaller jaws and can enter a .375" (9.5mm) bore. Styles 2-10 and 2-20 are used on the larger jaws to get the range up to 6" (150mm).

Q: Prove that it is guaranteed to find four light bulbs of the same color which form the corners of a rectangle. Consider a matrix of light bulbs with 7 columns and 280,000 rows. Each bulb can be 1 of 6 different colors. Prove that in this matrix, it is guaranteed to find four light bulbs of the same color which form the four corners of a rectangle.
I know this is a pigeon-hole principle problem, but I'm not sure how to think about it.
For an arbitrary row, we know there are $P^R(6,7)=6^7$ possible color combinations. We also know because there must be a repeat of at least one color per row. But i'm not sure how to prove the rectangle...

A: Hint: We begin with the fact that each row must have at least one color that is repeated.
If we assume that the same color is repeated in every row, then eventually, we must repeat the selection of the same two positions by Pigeonhole Principle, and a rectangle is formed.
Finally, we notice that in order to avoid this from happening, we try to switch the repeated color, but since we only have finitely many colors, at some point we will run out of choices for colors as well.
Calculating how many rows this takes will net you a number well under $280000$.

A: Since $6^7<280000$, there will be two rows colored the same.  Find a repeated color in one of those two rows; that color is also repeated, in the same positions, in the other of those two rows.

Knowing Your Cigar Shapes & Sizes
There is no shortage to the shapes and sizes in which cigars are made. This combination of size and shape is referred to as a cigar's vitola. Newer smokers can be surprised how much this affects the smoking experience, from Nubs to Churchills. Allow Best Cigar Prices to help you understand what vitola names like these mean in terms of shape, length, and gauge.
Cigar vitolas are generally divided into two categories: parejo (straight) and figurado (irregularly shaped).
Parejo Cigar Vitolas
Straight, parejo cigar shapes are easily the most common. They have a simple, cylindrical shape, with more than a dozen types of variants. Some notable parejo vitolas include Churchills, Rothschilds, and Lonsdales, but let's take a closer look at popular parejos.
Considered the ideal tasting size for cigar reviewers, Robusto cigars are usually 5 to 5 1/2 inches long and have a 50 ring gauge.
Oliva Robusto
The Toro has the same 50 ring gauge as the Robusto, but it has slightly more length to it. Toro cigars are traditionally around 6 inches long.
Romeo Toro
Churchill cigars are named after one of England's most notable Prime Ministers: Winston Churchill, who was rarely seen without his trademark stogie. A traditional Churchill is slightly thinner than Robustos and Toros, with a 48 ring gauge. However, it makes up for it by measuring a whopping 7 inches in length.
Cohiba Churchill
The Corona vitola is considered by many, especially older aficionados, to be the standard parejo above the Robusto. Typical dimensions for a Corona cigar are 5 1/2 to 6 inches in length with a ring gauge of 42 to 44. You can also go smaller with a Petit Corona (4 1/2 inches long with a 40 to 42 ring gauge) or larger with a Double Corona (7 1/2 to 8 inches long with a 49 to 52 ring gauge).
Ashton Corona
The Panetela can best be described as a long and slinky version of the Corona. Pantelas was very popular in the 1990s, with sizes ranging from 5 to 7 1/2 inches in length and modest diameters clocking in with a ring gauge of 34 to 38.
Baccarat Panetela
The Lonsdale was named after the famous cigar smoker Hugh Cecil Lowther, fifth Earl of Lonsdale. This vitola is thicker than the Panetela and longer than the Corona. You can expect a Lonsdale to be roughly 6 3/4 inches long with a ring gauge of 42 to 44.
H. Upmann Lonsdale
Figurado Cigar Vitolas
The term "figurado" can refer to any shape other than the classic parejo. Over the years, manufacturers have shown off new and interesting shapes, further subdivided figurados into more specialized names. Let's review the ones that you're most likely to run into at a cigar shop.
Pyramid is the name given to a cigar that is thickest at its foot. As their name implies, Pyramid cigars gradually and uniformly taper towards the head, creating a cone or pyramid-like shape.
Perdomo Pyramid
A Belicoso is a cigar that tapers sharply at the head. Unlike a Pyramid, Belicosos do not start to taper until very close to the head. In the past, Belicoso cigars used to be a genuine short Pyramid, tapered from foot to head. Recently, they have adopted a shape more similar to a Corona, with a length of 5 to 5 1/2 inches and a ring gauge of 50 or less.
Opus Belicoso
A Torpedo also has a gradually tapered head that comes to a sharp point. The differences between a Belicoso and a Torpedo can be hard to spot, but it's agreed that the Torpedo tapers much more gradually than the Belicoso, giving it a sharper look. However, in both of these vitolas the tapered end concentrates the flavors of the cigar into a small opening, creating a more robust smoke. The tapered head also gives the smoker the unique ability to choose how big he or she wants the opening to be.
Alec Bradley Torpedo
A cigar that is tapered at both the head and the foot with a slight bulge in the middle is called a Perfecto. Some styles of Perfectos have a nipple-like foot, while others have a more uniform and gently tapered foot. Still other Perfectos are tapered toward the foot and then abruptly trim straight. Regardless of the style, a Perfecto will start out with a firm draw, gradually opening up as the tapered foot burns.
Griffin's Perfecto
Diademas & Salomones
Diademas and Salomones are essentially larger versions of the Perfecto, tapered at both ends. However, these cigars can be 8 inches or more in length, with a closed head (ring gauge around 40) and a foot that can be open or closed (52 ring gauge or more).
Don Pepin Salomones
Novelty Cigar Shapes
Yes, technically speaking anything outside of the traditional, cylindrical shape of parejos is a figurado vitola. Still, at a certain point the shape of a cigar becomes as much of a selling point as the contents of the cigar, if not more so! These are best referred to as novelty cigar shapes, which are more or less expert cigar rollers showing off their skills. Here are a few examples:
The Egg by Drew Estate is basically a caricature of a Perfecto. The name is obviously derived from the bulge in the middle taking on the dimensions of an egg.
The Egg by Drew Estate
Though somewhat rare, the Culebra is one of the most interesting vitolas you can find. It consists of three Panetelas braided together to create one uniform cigar. However, it isn't smoked as one; you unbraid it first (perfect for sharing with your two closest cigar-smoking friends). Culebras are usually 5 to 6 inches long with a 38 ring gauge.
La Flor Culebra
Nub cigars are extra short, stubby stogies that attempt to capture the "sweet spot" of a normal sized cigar (the very middle area). Many smokers love these tasty little treasures, but others consider the concept to little more than a marketing gimmick.
Nub with Connecticut Wrapper
Fuente Factory Special Cigars
One of the best-known creators of novelty cigars is the Fuente factory. They produce cigars shaped like footballs, baseball bats, and other distinct vitolas. They even have some with puffy heads that look like the plumes of rare birds. This is where cigar rolling starts to blur the lines with true art, and they are usually reserved for charity auctions.
Various Fuente Factory Cigars
As you try different cigars, don't shy away from different sizes, shapes, brands, and types of tobacco to discover which you truly like the best. Most importantly, have fun and always trust your own taste.

PM Mirek Topolánek on U.S. visit with visas, radar on the agenda
https://english.radio.cz/pm-mirek-topolanek-us-visit-visas-radar-agenda-8598787#player=on
Prime Minister Mirek Topolánek leaves on a three-day working visit the United States on Monday. His meetings with US President George Bush and American top officials are expected to revolve around two outstanding issues in bilateral relations – the lifting of visa restrictions for Czechs travelling to the US and Czech participation in the US missile defence programme.
Mirek Topolánek
After years of intensive negotiations, Prague and Washington are about to take the first step leading to the abolition of visa requirements for Czech citizens travelling to the United States. On Tuesday Prime Minister Mirek Topolánek and Interior Minister Ivan Langer will sign a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security which will start the process of the Czech Republic's admission to the US visa-waiver programme.
Under the conditions of the memorandum, the U.S. authorities will lift visa restrictions for Czech nationals in return for detailed information on each U.S.-bound traveller. These data, known as Passenger Name Record, include such sensitive information as phone numbers, date and place of birth, and credit card details. Instead of undergoing visa interviews at the U.S. embassy in Prague, travellers will in future be required to fill in an on-line form, known as Electronic Travel Authority, which will be reviewed by U.S. authorities. The memorandum also envisages a duty to place armed air marshals on board flights to the United States whenever requested by U.S. security. If all goes according to plan U.S. visa restrictions for Czech nationals could be lifted by August or September of this year.
The soon-to-be concluded agreement between the United States and the Czech Republic, as well as parallel bilateral talks with other new EU member states including Hungary and Estonia have been a source of much disappointment in Brussels. The United States would like to introduce these terms for all European travellers to America which is something the old EU member states strongly object to. The European Commission believes that the bilateral negotiations of several Central and Eastern European countries eager to be included in the US visa-waiver programme could jeopardize EU pressure on the United States to drop their requirements for such detailed passenger information.
Recent reports from Brussels suggest that EU opposition to these bilateral talks dwindled to some extent after the U.S. agreed that only limited passenger information will be transferred under the new system. In fact, one EU official said that the Czech – American memorandum could serve as a model for other EU countries. On the other hand the European Commission has also threatened to bring a lawsuit against any EU country which signs the memorandum.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Mirek Topolánek is scheduled to meet President George W. Bush for talks on the possible siting of a U.S. radar base in the Czech Republic as a part of the American anti-missile defence system. Agreement on this sensitive issue also seems to be close despite the fact that such a move remains highly unpopular in the Czech Republic. While critics link the two issues and claim that an American radar base on Czech territory is too high a price to pay for the lifting of visas, both Czech and American diplomats have repeatedly stressed that the issues are separate and that progress on the radar deal is not linked to the abolition of visas for Czech citizens.

The Value of Home Care

A new study finds the price of most long-term-care services are rising faster than inflation, and by 2050 the nation's long-term care services bill is expected to top $379 billion. The most preferred form of care is in the home, and the cost of home care performed by a non-skilled home health aide remained flat in most regions of the country.
Additional research identifies an imminent shortage of caregivers as the driver of increasing long-term-care costs. By 2030, the number of Americans 65 years and older will double. The U.S. will need to recruit 200000 new direct-care workers each year to meet future demand among our aging population.
35 million people in America who were 65 years+ were counted in the 2000 Census. This is a 12% increase from the 1990 Census, when 31.2 million older Americans were counted.
One in three Americans voluntarily provide unpaid informal care each year to one or more ill or disabled family members or friends, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
Nearly 7 million Americans provide care or manage care for a relative or friend aged 55 or older who lives at least one hour away, according to a survey cosponsored by The National Council on the Aging and The Pew Charitable Trusts.
15 million days of work are estimated to be missed each year because of long-distance caregiving, according to the National Council on Aging.

Danielle Darrieux, French Film Grande Dame, Dies @ 100
One of the most important movie figures ever to live to the age of 100, French actress Danielle Darrieux, died Tuesday in Bois-le-Roi, France.
Darrieux, who had turned 100 earlier this year, was said to have been ill following a fall.
The number "100" suited her — she was also the veteran of well over 100 films and TV appearances, debuting in 1931 not long after the advent of talkies in Le bal, and making her final on-screen appearance in the 2010 telefilm C'est toi c'est tout. She also provided her voice for a short film about her life last year, Tournons ensemble, Mademoiselle Darrieux.
In 1949's Occupe-toi d'Amélie
The ultimate French wife in a series of successful and at times controversial films of the '50s, some of her finest work appears in Mayerling (1936), La Ronde (1950), Rich, Young and Pretty (1951), Le plaisir (1952), Adorable Creatures (1952), Madame de ... (1953), Rouge et noir (1954), L'amant de Lady Chatterly (1955), Alexander the Great (1956), Les demoiselles de Rochefort (1967) and a late-career highlight, Huit Femmes (2002), the latter of which became an international hit.
Along with her prolific work in film, she was an adroit singer, both in recordings and on the stage, including in a 1995 French production of Harold and Maude and 2003's Oscar et la Dame Rose, her final foray into theater — when she was nearing 90.
Her most internationally known stage performance was as a replacement for Katharine Hepburn (1907-2003) in Coco on Broadway in 1970. She would grace Broadway once more, in 1972's Ambassador.

Darrieux was given an honorary César Award in 1985, but never won one in competition in spite of her position as one of France's most legendary film stars.

According to a recent Pew Research report "a record 57 million Americans, or 18.1% of the population of the United States, lived in multigenerational family households in 2012, double the number who lived in such households in 1980." The growing trend is crossing all races and ethnicities and the benefits of a multigenerational home can be felt across all the age groups in the household.
Most of us can think of stories shared from our parents or our grandparents about their own grandparents living either on the same property as them growing up, or in the same house. These stories most often include fond memories of what they learned from these family members; what bits of knowledge, wisdom and skills were shared as they grew up.
Greater financial stability for all involved, with family members pitching in to support the common good and goals of each member.
Grandparents providing a positive influence in the lives of their grandchildren.
Childcare being shared among the family members.
Grandparents staying active, physically and mentally through keeping up with the younger family members' activities and providing help and guidance with homework.
Adult children living in the home can save money for their own life goals of family and home.
Single parents gain the daily support needed for balancing career, family and home.
Keeping this growing lifestyle in mind, Tim Lewis Communities offers many homes with floorplans and features to comfortably accommodate multigenerational households. Whether your family is looking to live near the scenic splendor of Mt. Rose, in Reno, the convenience of South Placer county or tucked just outside the business hub of the Bay Area, our communities include homes to fit your family's needs and lifestyle.

I am a big food person, I love to flip through cook books and drool over food pictures on blogs. One of the main types of recipe I look at is cake. I am a cake person, I just can't help it, there is something about how squidgey and yummy cake is.
There is a certain type of American cake that I have always admired and wished I could try and that is the humble Cinnamon Roll. Soft, sweet and full of spice, I have always thought that they looked absolutely delicious. Here is the UK we don't generally have cinnamon rolls in the form that seems most popular across the pond, here the closest we get seems to be a danish or a belgian bun. I wasn't going to let that deprive me of trying out these sweet treats though and I went on the hunt for a recipe.
Cinnamon rolls, though I call them cake, are actually dough based, that means yeast, and that right there is why it took me so long to make a batch of these. I have always thought of dough as being tricky. I really shouldn't do as I am a bit of a pizza aficionado but I shy away from other kinds. I spent quite a long time comparing recipes and deciding which would be the best to try to make first. I settled on a simple one, all american in its simple flavours (no complicated extras) and one which looked like it would be relatively quick without ridiculously long rising times.
I eventually settled on this one from Sally's Baking Addiction. She calls them easy, and I have to admit they were exactly that. I managed to make this batch while I was between turns of my Cronuts, they were that quick! Sally has been very helpful and converted the measures from cups into metric for us Brits, it saved me doing a lot of scooping and measuring, so thank you for that, but I have also weighed a couple of the remaining volume measures to make it easier.
To make the dough, start by setting aside 75g of flour into a separate bowl.
Take the rest of your dry ingredients and add them into a large mixing bowl.
Add in the yeast and then the salt.
Mix together with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Next take your wet ingredients and in a separate bowl begin to add the butter, milk and water together.
Then put the bowl in the microwave and heat in small increments on low until the butter is melted and mixed into the milk and water. Make sure the mixture is hot to touch, but does not burn.
Pour the wet into the dry and begin to stir together.
Add small amounts of the reserved flour until the dough comes together and begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl as you mix and has an elasticity to it.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and get your hands mucky! It is time to do some kneading!
Knead for 3-4 minutes until the dough is smooth, then place in a lightly greased bowl to rest for 10 minutes.
While that is resting, mix together your cinnamon and sugar in a bowl, and make sure your butter is room temperature, suitable for spreading.
After your 10 minutes of resting the dough, roll it out into a large rectangle. The recipe states that it should be 14x8 inches, but personally I think you can judge it better by depth and mine was about a half a centimetre thick.
Spread the softened butter all over the top of the dough, making sure to go to the edges. Sprinkle the butter with the cinnamon sugar, being as liberal as you desire. I didn't use all of mine up but would maybe be a bit more generous next time. Even if you think there is a lot on there, after cooking it may not be as strong as you think so I would recommend adding a little more than you would naturally be inclined to add.
Once coated, you can begin rolling. Lift the long edge of the dough nearest to you and begin to roll it over itself. Try to keep it fairly tight but don't squeeze.
Chop your cinnamon sausage into 11 pieces, or more if you are after smaller rolls.
Lightly butter a baking dish and place the rolls inside, and then set them aside to rise. To help mine rise I turned on the oven to the first gas mark and let it warm up. Then turned it off before putting the rolls in and setting the timer. You can let them rise in any warm dry place though if you have a particular favourite.
Then when they were ready to cook (doubled in size) I just turned the oven back on again and up to 190 degrees C/ Gas Mark 5 and baked them for 25 minutes.
I should have listened to Sally's recipe and covered them with foil to prevent over browning as our oven has been on the blink lately, but I didn't so they are a deeper shade than I had originally wanted, but they actually added an additional texture which only added to the enjoyment when eating them.
Pour over a little glaze made from a bit of icing sugar, milk and whatever flavouring you like (I went with good old vanilla) and watch it sink in.
On top they are toasty brown and the sugar has given them a crispness, but lift them out of the pan and underneath they are fluffy clouds of yumminess.
If you are anything like me you won't be able to resist an extra drizzle of glaze.
They were absolutely delicious, and really so easy to make, I highly recommend giving them a go yourself.
These are definitely going to be a new staple in our household!

Crash Barriers Save Lives
Recently in Melbourne there have been two serious incidents involving vehicular homicide. The first, in January 2017, resulted in an appalling toll of dead and injured. The second in Flinders St on the 21st of December also resulted in multiple injuries and a death.
A damaged vehicle is seen at the scene of an incident on Flinders Street, in Melbourne, Thursday, December 21, 2017. Earlier a speeding car ploughed through pedestrians at Flinders Street in Melbourne's CBD in what police believe was a deliberate act . (AAP Image/James Ross) NO ARCHIVING
Such acts – in both cases perpetrated by drug affected mentally ill drivers – demonstrate the need for the City of Melbourne to upgrade its access mechanisms to areas used heavily by predominantly Pedestrian traffic. Hydraulic Bollards, Boom Gates and in the case of large event crowd gatherings, Portable Crash Barriers, must be considered, installed and operated here on in. Worldwide other cities have had such devices in use now for over 10 years.
Hydraulic Bollards can be raised and lowered using sensors. These will ensure non-authorised vehicles cannot enter restricted areas such as the Bourke St Mall. These are also suitable for major Pedestrian crossings. Alternatively Boom Gates, again sensor operated, can allow access to trams or emergency vehicles, with the use of approved sensors.
With major events AML thoroughly recommend the use of Portable Crash Barriers – see here
With events like 'White Night', the 'Chinese New Year' and the range of Events staged throughout the year in the CBD and nearby, Crash Barriers deployed by one or two people make good sense in preventing such tragedies as experienced here, in Nice, London, New York and Berlin. Crash Barriers can stop a vehicle travelling at 50km/h completely.
Be prepared, plan and action sensible strategies as required. Much of Melbourne's CBD Grid still operated on the same principles as were implemented in the 1960s. It's time to update and save lines.
For further information about Crash Barriers please call AML on 03-9326-2244 or leave your contact details here to be contacted by one of our staff.

A Strategic Plan will prevent another Bourke St Rampage
February 5, 2018 / amlrisk	/ Leave a comment
The Bourke St rampage of Jan 2017 had its first anniversary this year. With the pain and loss still raw for the families of the victims, this was a time for remembrance and healing.'
Bourke St is Melbourne's only retail 'main street' Mall. The Mall, located between Elizabeth and Swanston St is banned to vehicular traffic from 6am until midnight. It can however be easily breached as the Trams have access at all times.
AML have a good knowledge of the precinct through an associate who managed portable displays in the Mall for over 10 years. The Mall can easily be locked down with sensor operated bollards or boom gates for Trams and strategically deployed florals. For major events mobile crash barriers can be situated effectively to ensure minimal risk.
We pay our respects to the victims and their families and pray that such an event doesn't occur again. Here is the report from the ABC on the memorial ceremony and those participating.
Bourke Street car attack anniversary marked at memorial service in Melbourne
Kurt and Emily Mudie paid tribute to their sister Jess, who died after the attack.
Family members of victims of the Bourke Street car attack have spoken of how they miss their loved ones and thanked the public for their care and support at a memorial service in Melbourne.
Six people were killed and many more injured when a car drove through the busy Bourke Street mall and along the footpath for several blocks on January 20, 2017.
Three-month-old Zachary Bryant, Thalia Hakin, 10, Matthew Si, 33, Yosuke Kanno, 25 and Jess Mudie, 22, were all killed after being hit along Bourke St.
Emily and Kurt Mudie delivered a tribute to their sister Jess, who was Emily's twin.
"She was the most amazing person that I know, she would never ever fail to put a smile on my face, and I loved doing anything with her," Ms Mudie said.
Ms Mudie said her sister would never leave her and continued to motivate her, as she had in life.
Mr Mudie said he had always tried to be there for his sister, but she had always been there for him.
The siblings sent love to their families and friends, to those who had been on Bourke Street on that day, and others who had lost loved ones.
"We know that this is a super-crap time, but I'm told time is a great healer and we will always be there for you if you ever need it," Ms Mudie said.
Matthew Si, 33, was a loving husband and father, his wife Melinda Tan said.
The wife of Matthew Si, Melinda Tan, said she had been supported by many through the heartbreak of losing her husband.
"The pain of losing Matt will never disappear," she said.
"His time with us was cut short, he was only 33 years old and he was always rushing home to our daughter Aria.
"That day he dropped her off at childcare and never came back. I've had to adjust to a new life that will always be missing a loving husband and father."
Ms Tan said she was comforted that emergency crews did their best to save her husband and that he did not suffer alone.
Melbourne Symphony Orchestra's Sophie Rowell performed a violin solo for Mr Si, who was himself an accomplished violinist.
Matthew Bryant, the father of three-month-old Zachary Bryant, fought back tears as he spoke about his son.
Zara (left) with her brother Zachary Bryant (right). Their father said he had looked at the two of them on Christmas morning in 2016 and thought life was perfect.
"Our connection with Zachy started long before he was born — we named him a couple of months into the pregnancy and couldn't have been more excited to welcome that little man into our family.
"From the first time I held him, it was pure love."
Mr Bryant said he would always be grateful and blessed to be Zachary's father.
The couple had a third child, Zayne, last month, joining their older daughter Zara, who was with Zachary when he died.
"While he unfortunately will never have the chance to meet his older brother, we endeavour to always keep the memory of Zachy strong and alive," Mr Bryant said.
Victorian Governor Linda Dessau honoured those who had been injured, the first responders and families who had lost loved ones.
The families of victims and Victoria's leaders paid tribute to emergency service workers at the memorial.
"To show that we have not forgotten your loss, and to offer you whatever support and comfort that we can."
She also paid tribute to civilians who helped on the day.
"Those who responded when they found themselves in the midst of something for which they could not possibly have been prepared … who did all they could do to humanly help and provided us with a much appreciated beacon of hope by their goodness."
The accused driver, James Gargasoulas, 27, has pleaded not guilty to murder and attempted murder charges.
'Tragedy will not define us'
Premier Daniel Andrews said Victorians had responded to "one act of evil with countless acts of empathy, compassion and, most importantly, love".
"No words will ever be enough, nothing can ever undo the damage, but I hope that there is some small measure of comfort in knowing that you are not alone," he said.
On Saturday, which was exactly one year since the incident, a private ceremony involving family and friends of those who died, as well as those who were injured, was held at the Parliament Gardens Reserve.
Two plaques were also unveiled — one in the pavement and one on a park chair.
"In memory of those whose lives were lost in Bourke Street on 20 January 2017 and in recognition of others who were injured or affected by this tragedy," they read.
Flowers, toys and notes were left along Bourke Street in the days after the attack last year.
While some left flowers and notes at the reserve and also at different places along Bourke St, there was no official service on Saturday.

Fructose is soluble in water. A monosaccharide, it occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables, such as apples and tomatoes, and in honey (approximately 50 percent) and is a constituent of oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. The phosphates of fructose, such as fructose-l,6-diphosphate and fructose-6-phosphate, are intermediate compounds in the dark phase of photosynthesis (Calvin cycle), in major metabolic processes (glycolysis, alcoholic fermentation), and in the biosynthesis of carbohydrates.
Fructose is a valuable food product and is easily assimilated by the organism. It is obtained from fruits by the hydrolysis of saccharose and inulin, as well as by the action of alkalies on D-glucose. In addition to the furanose (natural) form, the open ketone form and other tautomeric forms of fructose are known. Fructose is used in the food-processing industry and in medicine. Fructose-1,6-diphosphate is a drug administered to persons suffering from shock or various heart conditions.

No Country For Boring Men: Osada
Alec Meer
5th April 2011 / 8:40AM
The first of the promised three new games from Samarost and Machinarium devs Amanita Design has arrived and it's, uh… Well, it's not really a game. Not really. Maybe a bit. But not really. It does, however, share the familiarly wacked-out Amanita art and anti-logic, so you'll find much to make you smile in this 'interactive music video.' It's a Western. It's not really a Western. Maybe a bit. But not really.
Osada could be in the very, very, very loosest sense be described as a point and click game, but more realistically it's about clicking hotspots on the screen to activate new animations and, in turn, new screens. The reward is in the joyful oddness of sound and vision: this is not something you'll ever second-guess. I'd say "where do they get their ideas?" but I've got a few good guesses already.
I don't pretend to understand it (or pretend that it's meant to be understood), but I certainly dug it, especially the gonzoid country soundtrack. Take a look, and savour the prospect of this kind of thinking applied to 'proper' games – both Botanicula and Samorost 3 are upcoming. More on those can be found in our interview with Amanita's Jakub Dvorský here.

Static reverse-engineering in IDA can often be problematic. Certain values are calculated at run time, which makes it difficult to understand what a certain basic block is doing. But, if you try to perform dynamic analysis by debugging a piece of malware, the malware will often detect it and start behaving differently. Cisco Talos is here with Dynamic Data Resolver (DDR) a new plugin for IDA that aims to make the reverse-engineering of malware easier.
DDR has the client/server architecture shown in figure 5. The DDR IDA plugin and the DDR server are Python scripts. The DynamoRIO client is a DLL written in C, which is executed by the DynamoRIO tool drrun.exe. This DLL is using instrumentation techniques to analyze and monitor the malware sample at runtime. The IDA plugin is the frontend. Usually, all the processes are controlled via the plugin. Once the DynamoRIO client backend is done with the analysis, the result is sent back to the plugin. We picked JSON as the format for this data to make it easy for the user to read, and parsable by third-party Python scripts.
Theoretically, you can run the plugin and the server on the same PC, but as far as the malware sample is executed, it is highly recommended to do this on a separate machine.
After the analysis is done, you will need to load the <JSON_FILE_TO_LOG_TO>, ex. sample_log32.json, via the File/Load file/Load DynRio File menu in IDA.
But again, this is usually not necessary. All features in DDR are accessed via the right-click context menu in IDAs Disassembler View. Before you can run any DDR features, you need to analyse the sample first or load the JSON file manually as described above. If you don't want to do the manual process, DDR offers several different options for running the analysis. They can all be accessed via the Trace menu shown in Figure 6.
The full trace options are collecting far more runtime information. Their execution takes much more time and consumes much more memory than the light trace. The light trace is only doing a code coverage trace — in other words, it logs the instructions that are executed at runtime, as well as some basic information for control flow related instructions like call, jmp, ret and others. This means you usually want to pick the light trace if you want to log as many instructions as possible to get an overview of what the sample is doing. For example, to highlight as many basic blocks as possible, based on the number of times they were executed or to get an overview of the API calls touched by the sample. You can set the number of instructions to log via the "Config/Set number of instructions to log" menu to a high value. For a light trace on an average PC, you can set the number usually to 200.000. The default is 20.000, which works well for full traces. You are usually running the full traces for cases where you are interested in the start sequence of a sample (ex. "Run full trace for segment") or you are analysing a certain basic block such as a crypto routine, and you need details about all the instructions and it's operants (ex. "Run full trace for basic block"). The analysis should not take longer than 30 seconds, or you need to set the MAX_API_TIMEOUT in the DDR_plugin.py script to a higher value. For larger traces you can also use the manual analysis as described above.
Keep in mind that all the DDR functions are using the JSON file from the last analysis/trace that you have run. For example, if you have just run a light trace and then you are trying to resolve a register value via "Get values for source operant," you will likely not find any data (except it was one of the mentioned control flow instructions like call, jmp, etc.). It is probably a good idea to check out the generated JSON files when you are using DDR the first time to get an idea about which data is logged depending on the different traces.
The traces are cached/saved in the directory where the sample is in. The full path can also be found in the IDA log window. This means, if you need information that is logged in a JSON file that is not loaded at the moment, you can just pick the right trace menu option again and the cached/saved file is loaded. Loading and parsing the file usually takes not much time, so you can quickly jump between different analyses without really rerunning them. This also means, if you really want to rerun a certain analysis, you have to either delete all cached/saved files via the "Trace" menu or delete the corresponding files manually from the samples directory.
The video below shows you the different DDR features and some example workflows.
Talos is releasing this alpha version knowing that it may contain a few bugs and can be improved upon in the future. Nevertheless, we think it is a useful tool that we want to share with the community at an early stage. Please see the source code for where to send issues, bug reports and feature requests. Feel free to contact the author if you run into issues.
The plugin is build for IDA Version 7.2 on Windows x64, but might also work on 7.1.
First, clone or download the DDR repository here.
Install the Python module requirements and the DynamoRIO framework. Details can be found in the appendix below.
# Gets generated by the ddr_server.py script.
# Local directory where to find the certificate generated by the DDR_server.py script or the manual created one (used for the SSL connection). Don't forget to copy the certificate file to this location.
# Verify certificates or not. It is insecure to set this to False, you should only do this for testing.
# Directory on the ddr_server.py machine. The local directory on the server where the server script can find the sample to analyse. Make sure it exists and you have copied the sample into it. A future version of the plugin will copy the file automatically.
# Directory to save/load config files to/from e.g. API key file, Certificate files etc.
Make sure the directories you are configuring exist. If they do not exist, the alpha version will not create the directories. The program will just show an error message.
Also, you have to copy the malware sample you are planning to analyse in IDA first to the directory configured in the SERVER_LOCAL_SAMPLE_DIR variable in the DDR_plugin.py script. This will be automated in the next version.
If you are using multiple Python versions, make sure you install these packages for the same version IDA is using.
Just use the binary installer found on the DynamoRIO homepage.


Clann Eanruig (pronounced KLAHN YAHN-reegk) is the Gàidhlig (Scots Gaelic) name for the Scottish clan known as "the Hendersons" in English. The words "Scot," "Scots" (not scotch), "Scottish," and "Scotland" derive from the Latin word "Scotus" meaning a Celtic inhabitant of Hibernia (Ireland) at the time of the Roman occupation of southern Britannia (Great Britain), i.e., an Irishman. The Scots of Caledonia flourished and soon outnumbered their Pictish neighbors.
The ancient Picts and Scots followed the Celtic custom of matrilineality. This meant that sons could not depend on their father's status, but instead had to establish domains of their own. Pictish prince Eanruig Mor mac Righ Nechtan (Big Henry the son of King Nechtan) established a distinguished family line. The descendants of Prince Henry were known collectively as "clann Eanruig" meaning the "family of Henry." The males of the clan took the surname "mac Eanruig" meaning "son of Henry," which was later translated into English variously as "Henryson," "Henderson," "McHenry," "McHendry," "MacKendrick," and such. The females of the clan took the surname "nic Eanruig" meaning "daughter of Henry." A woman normally kept her own clan surname after marriage, and she could usually depend on her clan's support in a dispute with her husband. Families could give children the clan surname of either their mother or father. Over time, the descendants of other prominent Henrys also took the family name "clann Eanruig." Eventually, the most prominent of these families coalesced into a single clan identity.
Though a small clan, the Hendersons rose to prominence in Caithness, Glencoe, the Shetland Islands and Fordell in Fife. In Caithness, Clan Henderson associated with Clan Gunn. In Glencoe, Clan Henderson forged a close alliance with the powerful Clan Donald. A separate family grouping arose in Liddesdale and Ewesdale, being one of the smaller families of Border Reivers.
The Hendersons known for their size and strength became the personal body guards of the chief of the Clan MacDonald of Glencoe. In 1692, King William III, suspecting the loyalty of Clan Donald, secretly set the Clan Campbell upon the MacDonalds and Hendersons in the Massacre of Glencoe. Standing six feet and seven inches tall, the powerful "Big Henderson" of the Chanters was the MacDonald chief's piper and protector, and fell with the chief in the cold February night of 1692. After the Massacre, many Henderson families emigrated to Ulster ,North America and mid wales.
During the Highland Clearances from 1746 to 1822, many more Henderson families left Scotland for Ireland, England, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and other lands.
Hendersons in the British colonies of North America played important roles in the drive for American independence from Britain. Patrick Henry of Virginia urged armed revolution with his cry "I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" Ulster-born physician James McHenry served as George Washington's Secretary of War. (The Star-Spangled Banner, the national anthem of the United States of America, depicts the British naval bombardment of Fort McHenry near Baltimore in 1814.) Hendersons loyal to the British Crown played important roles in the British settlement of Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
In 1934, British statesman Arthur Henderson was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work for world disarmament. Epidemiologist Dr. Donald Ainslie "D.A." Henderson led the World Health Organization's successful effort to eradicate smallpox throughout the world.
The Chief of Clan Henderson is Alistair Donald Henderson of Fordell, an environmental engineer specialising in air pollution control who lives in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The Chief is recognized by Lord Lyon, King of Arms, and is a member of the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs (SCSC).

The surname spelling variations arose from regional pronunciation differences, and sometimes perversely creative spelling. Some individuals used multiple surname spellings, and sometimes different surname forms. For example, a traveling Henderson might use the surname MacEanruig in the Scottish Highlands, Henderson in the Lowlands, McHenry in Ulster, and Henry in England. The prefixes "Mac", "Mak", "MC", "Mc", "Mc", and "M'" are equivalent, and are all pronounced "mahk". The letter following the prefix may be either capital or lower case. Some Scottish families dropped a "Mac" prefix from their surnames during the Highland Clearances in an effort to curry favor with the Crown. After King George IV visited Scotland in 1822, some of these families resumed using a "Mac" prefix. (The resurgent popularity of "all things Scottish" even induced some Lowland and English families to add an incongruous "Mac" prefix to their surnames).


Back in 2007, periodontist, Dr. Hunt, was trying to find an antimicrobial agent that wouldn't harshly stain his patient's teeth. Since his patients typically had some form of periodontitis, specialized periodontal rinses were used to fight the disease. However, the brown stains left behind from the rinses, caused his patients much disappoint with the results. In other words, they were upset their teeth were less white, despite the fact that their periodontitis had cleared up. Without pearly-white teeth, patients became disinterested in their oral health, and resuming their original poor oral hygiene.
His next move was producing an antimicrobial gel that could fight periodontitis without the staining. After several experiments with hydrogen peroxide, Dr. Hunt developed a carbamide peroxide solution that was safe for extended use without increasing sensitivity. Thus, Rockstar White was born. Dr. Hunt created a solution capable of treating the effects of gum disease while whitening. Though this product was initially just available in-house, Dr. Hunt has made it accessible to the public. You too can have a brilliant smile without the painful sensitivity thanks to Dr. Hunt's innovative advancement in teeth whitening.
The root cause of bad breath, or medically called Halitosis, is simple: poor oral hygiene. Throughout the day, the food you eat breaks down and builds-up around your teeth, gum line, and even your tongue. Without proper brushing and flossing techniques, those food particles stay behind and produceodor-causing bacteria. Yuck. However, a recent study has shown that whitening treatments using a tray-type system, paired with good brushing habits, can reduce the number of microorganisms living your mouth. In short, whiter teeth means fresher breath.
This whitening system couldn't be easier to use. It comes with two whitening trays that have a soft, putty like material inside. You first bite down to immediately create your own impressions. Once your impression is made, add the whitening gel without overloading it. More importantly, make sure the gel doesn't make contact with your gums. If it does, wipe off any excess with a cotton swab.
Before placing the tray back on your teeth, apply Vitamin E to your gum line, then use the whitening solution for 30 minutes to an hour. Remember, wait an hour after your whitening treatments before you eat or drink anything. Lastly, if you do encounter some sensitivity, use the included Gel Kam. Simply add the Gel Kam to your whitening tray and leave it on for three minutes before spitting it out, however, don't rinse out your mouth. You may continue the whitening process daily until you've reached your desired results.
