Tropical Jungle Zine
Today I have another art journal zine to share, I love doing these! It's fun to have a miniature art journal done in one theme.
You can find the previous zines I've participated in here- Space, Sea, Bold, Vintage, Woodland, Spirit, Girl Boss, Goth, Imagination, Infinite Possibilities, Home, Vanessa, Verona, Abstract, Artist, Circus, Secret Garden, Seaside, Strong.
The zine squad (Julia, Vanessa and I) collaborated with Moriah Costa for this fun tropical jungle zine for Melody. I'm in love with this zine!
Cover by Julia, I think.
I used Tombow's Mono Glue Pen to create that glitter giraffe!
I painted the forest above with acrylic paints, at first I hated it, but after I added in the copies of my art I like it a bit more. The girl and the tiger were both from my sketchbook, that I really wanted to add in here.
You can't have a zine without a galaxy! The right page is by Vanessa, I think!
I love collaborating on art journals like this! I highly encourage you guys to go visit their blogs and see the rest of the zine, because the rest of the pages are amazing!

Matty Fryatt's 10th goal of the season snatched a last-minute point for Hull at Blackpool.
Ian Holloway's Seasiders have made a habit of producing late strikes in a run of one defeat in 10 that has catapulted them into the promotion picture, by they were given a taste of their own medicine when Fryatt reacted quickest to James Chester's knockdown inside a crowded penalty area.
The hosts deservedly led at the interval after a fine strike from Tom Ince denied Hull a club-record seventh consecutive clean sheet.
Yesterday Blackpool announced they are in talks with ex-England striker Robbie Fowler over a surprise return to English football, but they appeared perfectly well stocked in attack as a four-strong forward line troubled Hull all evening.
Aaron Mclean had a first-half attempt cleared off the line for the visitors, but they had little to show for their efforts until a successful late rally.
Nick Barmby's men close to within a point of the top six and remain four points behind Blackpool in fourth.
Veteran forward Brett Ormerod was rewarded for a lively cameo from the bench in Saturday's win over Bristol City with his first Blackpool start since October - one of three changes made by Ian Holloway.
Seyi Olofinjana and Mclean returned for Hull, with Corry Evans dropping to the bench and Robbie Brady missing out on the matchday 16.
Blackpool almost took an early lead when a speculative effort by midfielder Keith Southern forced backpedalling City goalkeeper Vito Mannone to push over his crossbar in the fifth minute.
Mannone was at full-stretch once more from the resulting corner as Alex Baptiste rose to meet Ince's well-flighted delivery.
The home side's expansive and enterprising front four kept them in the ascendancy, with Ince the shinning light. In the ninth minute he left Tigers full-back Andy Dawson in his wake and Mannone was alert to punch clear as the ball fizzed towards his goalmouth.
Inevitably there was space to exploit on the break, but Hull rarely did so in the opening period. When Seasiders goalkeeper Matt Gilks recklessly strayed from his area in the 19th minute, Baptiste was on the line to head Mclean's curling effort to safety.
Hull's goal had not been breached for 610 minutes when a superlative strike brought their run to an end.
Ince collected the ball 25 yards from goal and played a delicate one-two with Kevin Phillips before rifling past Mannone with the outside of his left foot.
Phillips nodded wide from Ormerod's hooked cross as the Seasiders' first-half showing failed to produce the second goal it merited.
Hull hustled their way onto the front foot at the start of the second period, but at the expense of their typical solidity as Roman Bednar and Phillips found space to draw fine saves from Mannone in quick succession.
Ince continued to be a menace with the ball at his feet but should have done better when he headed Neal Eardley's cross wide at the far post in the 66th minute.
Hull introduced on-loan Manchester United striker Joshua King as they attempted to force a point and, after picking out Gilks with a free header, he stung the Blackpool keeper's palms with a fierce 83rd-minute drive.
It appear a case of too little, too late until Fryatt's poacher's instincts stole a share of the spoils.


text: I want to let you know what a pleasure it was to work with you and Wood Street, Inc. in the designing and building or our new website. From the beginning to end, Wood Street was professional, creative and responsive to all of our requests. We couldn't be happier with the design and functionality of the website. It has been a huge hit with both customers and employees. The product search feature is the most invaluable feature as it greatly assists our customers as well as our own sales team in researching the many products Conestoga Tile carries. Most importantly, the website does what it was meant to do which is generating revenue. Due to the increased SEO, the site has risen in its search engine ranking which has translated to us receiving calls we generally would not have. And these calls have led to sales that instantly paid for (and then some) the entire website project. Keep up the great work and we look forward to working with Wood Street, Inc. on future projects.Steve Vogel, Executive Vice President Conestoga Tile, Harrisburg, PA

There hasn't been a time in my life where apples have not been present in whatever place I'm housing. It's true.
Ask my Dad. He has the Costco receipts.
When fall comes around, I get giddy. Sure, apples are widely available at all times of the year but it's this time in specific that they really start to get tasty. Not only that, but you've got a wide variety at your disposable. Granny Smith. Jazz. Red Delicious. Fuji. Pink Lady. And I guess we can include the Grapple in there, too (although I am not a fan of the grape/apple hybrid species).
Out of all of them, I prefer my Red Delicious and Fuji. Fuji when I want something a little lighter and sweeter. Red Delicious when I want that CRUNCH every time I bite in. Yeah, i'm a crunchy-sweet-apple fan.
Which means I hate Granny Smith. In everything. Including Apple Pie. I don't know who decided a tart apple would be the best kind of apple to use for pie, but I highly disagree on all levels. That clever Granny Smith may look all sparkling green in the apple bin... but it's just to fool you. No wonder they call them Granny Smith. It's like biting into a bitter old lady with 9 cats. Grainy. Tart. Yuck.
No offense to bitter old ladies with 9 cats or Granny Smith fans... I love you. Just not the apples. Sorry.
These apple muffins in particular are fantastic. And while you could go ahead and use Granny Smith if that's your preference, I prefered a combo of my two favorites: Fuji and Red Delicious. One of each, to be specific. And as unhealthy as they may look, the only guilty thing about these babies is the brown sugar topping and perfect maple icing that pairs along with it. Seriously. Maple Icing... Where have you been all my life? I could have sat there dunking apple pieces in that stuff until I had a sugar stroke. No lie.
They are made primarily with applesauce in replace of butter and oil, with a little bit of yogurt to help keep them moist. I sifted the flours together twice to get a more light crumb but you can just go ahead and whisk them if you prefer. They are loaded with cinnamon and have just a tad bit of actual sugar in them. I couldn't really find one recipe for these in specific so I just ended up mixing some recipes together and bam: Apple Muffins.
By the way, these are worth going to the store and buying real maple syrup for. Don't use that fake pancake stuff. It's not the same AT ALL.
I hope you all are enjoying apple season as much as I am. Even if you do like Granny Smith.
Apple Muffins with Maple Icing
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt
2 medium sized apples, cored and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds (optional)
Crumble Topping:
1/4 cup brown sugar or granulated sugar
1/4 cup oats, rolled or quick-cooking
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3-4 tablespoons butter, cold
handful of toasted slivered almonds, optional
(if you like A LOT of topping, double this)
Maple Icing:
1/3 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons REAL maple syrup (NO PANCAKE SYRUP)
1 teaspon to 1 tablespoon milk, to thin
1. Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Prepare muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray or liners.
2. Sift or whisk the flours, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
3. Whisk together the sugars and applesauce in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs and yogurt. Mix until smooth.
4. Combine the flour with the applesauce mixture and stir until no trace of flour remains. Mixture will be thick. Fold in chopped apples and almond slivers, if using.
5. To make the crumble topping, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, oats, and almonds together. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the butter in small pieces until mixture is crumbly.
5. Distribute batter evenly between muffin cups, sprinkling the crumble topping on each one as desired. Bake at 400F for 18-20 minutes (NOTE: Mine were done in 14 minutes so make sure to check them with a toothpick a little earlier on). Cool on wire rack when done.
6. While muffins are baking, make the maple icing. Simply whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup. Add milk in teaspoonfuls until icing drizzles easily off the tip of a spoon or fork.
7. Once muffins are done and cooled, drizzle maple icing on each one. Don't be flimsy with it either. I'm watching you.
Makes 16-18 Muffins.

Marriage and Same-sex Couples after Obergefell
By Gary J. Gates and Taylor N.T. Brown
November 2015
This research brief analyzes the impact of the US Supreme Court's decisions in Windsor v. United States (June 2013) and Obergefell v. Hodges (June 2015) on marriage by same-sex couples. In 2013, the year that the Windsor ruling was issued, an estimated 230,000 same-sex couples were married, 21% of all same-sex couples. By June 2015, when Obergefell was decided, 390,000 same-sex couples were married, 38% of all same-sex couples. As of October 2015, 486,000 same-sex couples were married, or 45% of all same-sex couples. The legal benefits and obligations of marriage now support these married couples, more than a quarter of whom are raising children, and the visibility of these families will likely continue to accelerate public support for marriage equality in the United States.

April Come She Will
Another April come/came she will and boy did she leave her mark & how I wish I could rewind and start over. April took away a lot this past month. First with the loss of another beloved friend-Henry. I couldn't believe it then and I still can't that you were taken in such a tragic way. Such a dear, sweet soul who will be missed dearly. We never did go and grab that coffee with Ms. Gail.
April come she will with her streams of rain falling and swelling over again into previous affected neighborhoods that lost so much last Memorial weekend.
May, I doubt you'll stay resting upon my mother's arm again in a manner that she'll remember. :-(
Who knew that an infection would send my mom free-falling into a backwards spiral that would have her memory to falter even more. Gone are the daily phone calls to make sure I get home safely. Gone are the repeated questions. Gone is the familiar face I knew so well. Instead I see a stranger in my mom's body.
June will change her tune and I'm sure I'll be taking those restless walks prowling the night in my hallway seeking answers as to why?
July--I still hope to fly to Idaho and take a much needed vacation. Please!!
August --I hope you fade fast taking with you your dreaded heat and humidity.
September--I will always remember a love that was new but grew old. Just like life that was so new before this month and has now grown old.
and now I want to be laughing in the Purple Rain! Not crying like I was that night two weeks ago.

On our way back to Newcastle, Jen and I had a couple of hours to burn in London so we went to the Natural History Museum. What an awesome place!
Its been about 2 years since we last visited to see Dr. Gunther von Hagens' BODY WORLDS: Animal Inside Out exhibition which was just incredible. But at the time we didn't have an opportunity to have a look around the permanent exhibitions.
During this visit we managed to see the birds, mammals and the breathtakingly massive whales.
We also watched a couple of short films in the lecture theatres. The first was Nature through the lens which documented key breakthroughs in wildlife film-making over the past 100 years which I really enjoyed and appreciated as a photographer. The second film was David Attenborough: Life on Camera, which covered some of Attenborough's many achievements and clips of his best bits. It is amazing to see what he has experienced and his dedication to the field is such an inspiration.

To play the video in sync with the voiceover instructions:
- Type the password in to the video if required
- Press play on the voiceover
- Listen to the spoken instructions, and press play on the video when instructed
Bringing Books to Life - The Enormous Crocodile
1) Warm Up
2) Games
a) Space Game
b) Crocodile to Crocodile
Put children in 3 groups (6 if working with KS2.) Get them to work on their frieze and bringing the picture to life in slow motion. Show them the part of the story their freeze needs to show by showing the picture in the book.
Group 1 – Crocodile pretending to be a palm tree, Mary & Toto going to collect coconuts.
Group 2 – Crocodile pretending to be the see-saw in the playground.
Group 3 – Crocodile pretending to be one of the seats on the carousel at the fun fair.
This can be taught at the end but to get the children to their groups.
Take Group 1 and half of group 2 to one side, and then the other half of group 2 and Group 3 to start off stage on the other side.
They all move together as the Enormous Crocodile with a small bit of choreography (see video) before they all crouch down into a box, except Group 1.
Group 1 hit their frieze and then in slow motion bring the picture to life.
All groups jump up and everyone becomes the Humpy-Rumpy Hippo and do the hippo movements together (see video.) All crouch down except Group 2.
Group 2 hit their frieze and then in slow motion bring the picture to life.
All groups jump up and become the Muggle-Wump Monkey (see video) All crouch down except Group 3
Group 3 hit their frieze and then in slow motion bring the picture to life.
All groups become the roly poly bird and move around the space pretending to fly, filling the stage area to end in space for group choreography section.
Tell rest of story altogether – The Crocodile pretending to be the bench at the picnic table, the elephant coming along, taking the crocodile and swinging him in the air until he flies up to the sun and explodes. (SEE VIDEO)

On May 14, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government could not prevent states from legalizing sports betting. Previously, Nevada was the only state allowed to have sports betting as they were grandfathered in under the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA) which banned sports betting in all 49 other states. Now that the Supreme Court has struck down PASPA, sports betting is a states' rights issue similar to marijuana, where any state is free to legalize it.
Some states have already legalized sports betting, including New Jersey, Mississippi, and Delaware. Other states such as Illinois, California, and Maryland have legislation in the works to do the same. According to ESPN, 26 states have made progress towards legalizing sports betting.
Frankly, this ruling from the Supreme Court is long overdue, and PASPA never should have existed in the first place. Justice Alito succinctly stated in the majority opinion, "the provision was unconstitutional because the Constitution does not empower Congress to subject state governments to this type of instruction." In other words, the federal government has no business preventing states from legalizing sports betting.
Later in the opinion, Justice Alito mentioned one of the original motives for PASPA was to protect young people, who may be more prone to unhealthy gambling habits. While this is certainly a reasonable concern, it falls outside the role of government.
Betting on sports does not violate the non-aggression principle (NAP) in any way, so to ban it on the grounds of morality is not logical. Additionally, there are no controlled substances of any sort involved, so to ban gambling for health concerns does not make sense either.
Like alcohol, gambling is only harmful if you do not act responsibly. Furthermore, while irresponsible alcohol consumption can harm people who are not involved in the act of drinking, irresponsible sports gambling only harms the individual who was gambling (with the potential exception of family members who rely on that individual financially). In other words, sports betting is much safer than alcohol, and alcohol is legal, so it's only logical for sports betting to be legal as well.
Relatedly, there is no shortage of ways for people to legally spend their money irresponsibly. If the government cannot prevent you racking up tens of thousands of dollars in loans and credit card debt, why should the government be able to prevent you from putting a $10 bet on your favorite NFL team? It's simply illogical.
It is not the government's job to baby us and essentially put a Fisher Price cage around everyone for the sake of preventing foolish people from doing foolish things. Are some people going to gamble irresponsibly? Yes. But the rest of us should not have our freedom restricted by the government because of them. The Supreme Court made the right decision to strike down PASPA, and hopefully, many states will soon grant their people the liberty to bet on sports as they please.

A. General - The Material
Glaskeramik represents one of the latest innovations in building and Interior design materials. From a circular economy aspect Glaskeramik is absolutely within the Zeitgeist as the material is 100% recycled waste and as the cycle is completed when the Glaskeramik itself is discarded at the end of a long life. It can be broken down completely by a local glass processor and used to create new products. Production sheet or bottle glass from glass manufacturing always has a 5% ratio of trade waste "seconds" or imperfect glass. This is the sole raw source of our material to produce and form a crystallized upcycled Glaskeramik, which contributes to sustainable buildings projects by LEED points and a Cradle to Cradle certificate.
Glaskeramik is certified and manufactured in Germany, in our factory in Teutschenthal. Our innovative technological know-how, in combination with our comprehensive quality control management certified by ISO 9001:2008, is the basis of our promise to consistently deliver the highest quality to our customers. The waste glass goes through a complicated sintering process such that every detail of crystal growth, glass cullet sizes and tension is controlled, giving us very unique slabs with randomized fine details made entirely one by one. It has a unique, translucent optical feature that is fully enhanced when lit up. It's available in two possible surfaces, finely polished to show the crystalline structure and a natural patinated finish which offers a spectacular haptic, scratch resistance and a half reflectivity.
All glass used by MAGNA comes from industrial plants and glass bottles fabricators. The colour of the final slab will depend on the original colour of the waste glass used, therefore:
Ice Nugget: made from recycled 6-8mm thick industrial white low iron glass waste.
Polar White: waste glass from solar panel protection glass (ultra-white glass).
Jade: made from recycled float glass, the green tint coming from the iron content.
Green: made from recycled green glass bottles, mostly beer bottles (Heineken).
Ocean Blue: recycled blue tinted sparkling water bottles.
Champagne Brown: beer and champagne brown bottles are the raw material source for this colour.
Light Grey: made from waste glass with sun protection coating.
Black: waste from grey tinted float glass.
The combination between sustainability and exclusivity for a very wide range of applications makes Glaskeramik a unique material. Each slab follows a delicate procedure in which some steps require to be hand-made. Therefore, a lot of time is devoted to make sure that the finish of the slab or the object
being produced meets our high quality standards. MAGNA Glaskeramik itself is not just a recycled material for which valuable LEED-points can be achieved, it also follows an environmental production process where electricity is obtained from our own solar panel plant and the water used in the process is also being filtered and reused. No resin, epoxy or additives are used during the production, making Glaskeramik a full sanitary, stain-resistant material, which is not just easy to clean but also very durable and fade-resistant over years, both for interior and exterior applications (no effect from any chemical products, acid rain or UV radiation).
For special request and projects of a certain size demanding exceptional colours we are flexible to produce slabs with special (search for new trade waste in desired colour) or mixed (add coloured pigments to glass granulate) colours to obtain unique and individual results. There are almost no limits
for the combination of different colours.
The standard sizes of Glaskeramik slabs are 2800 x 1250 mm in patinated surface and 2700 x 1200 mm with the polished surface. From January 2017 on, new formats up to 3400 x 1400 mm are available. Tiles of all standard formats can be offered as well. Nevertheless, we offer cut-to-size pieces according to the requirements of the project in any colour or surface.
The standard thickness is about 21 mm (ca. 55 kg/sqm). It is possible to produce any individual thickness between 15 (37 kg/sqm) and 23 mm on request. Slabs up to 45 mm are technically possible and available on special request. The tolerance for patinated surfaces is +- 1.25 mm and +- 1.10 mm for polished surfaces.
B. Use | Application
Glaskeramik can be used in a very wide range of applications. The popular ones include countertops, vanities, shower walls, room partitions, kitchen worktops and backsplashes, tables, flooring, fireplace surrounds, wall cladding, light walls and feature entrances, artwork, but also all type of external facades both closed and open clad structures like rainscreens cladding.
The main advantage is that this is a new material category and thus the unlimited number of uses it can be applied in, also it is a performance material with tested and proven capabilities. Creative freedom is the only boundary. Architects, interior designers, artists and those who would like to have any project made of it are contributing to environmental sustainability, whilst specifying an exclusive material.
The material is not designed for structural loading, but as a cladding it achieves a higher than Class A (class 0) fire rating as it has no additives.
Glaskeramik can be fixed via glass glue, silicone or mechanical fixing methods. For kitchen countertops or table surfaces, Glaskeramik slabs are quite heavy so self weight will go a long way to secure a slab into position. If vertical fix is needed we recommend the products used for adhesion of very thick glass, like clear silicone in combination with angles or full U profiles. Please discuss your needs with us as we also offer an edge slot fixing solution.
MAGNA Glaskeramik can have added break-safe character through anti-shatter film application or laminated glass according to EN ISO 12543-4. This opens up options for the development of insulated glass, as well as laminated safety glass for projects such as shower walls, room partitions, closed curtain facades in public areas or overhead glazing. Glaskeramik currently cannot be heat-tempered. Do remember that this is never less that 16mm thickness, much as a natural stone slab for which breaksafety is rarely considered.
+ 6. Can Glaskeramik also been used for flooring? What's about the slip classification of the product when used as a floor?
Glaskeramik is generally applicable for flooring projects. All surfaces can be processed by sand blasting, feulies or laser technology to achieve R9 until R11 anti-slip resistance class.
There are various fixing technologies available to Glaskeramik. We are constantly looking out for new systems:
A. Rainscreen cladding undercut anchor FZP_15x15,5 M8/16 G-Z especially for façade Glaskeramik panels developed by German fixing specialist Fischer is fully approved by European Technical Assessment (ETA) EAD 13-33-0030-06.01 Undercut anchors are mounted into the back of every panel in our factory Teutschenthal, according to the required structural engineering. Structural glazing of façade panels is also suited to mount our
material on interior walls or other vertical applications.
B. U-profile, cassette or standard post-and-beam system for thick Glaskeramik for laminated and monolithic solutions.
C. Bonding to supporting concrete plate - Lithodecor sandwich panels solution
D. V-Clip nut system by labelfacade
Glaskeramik, thanks to its unique translucent effect, can be illuminated artificially or using natural light, the main advantage of Glaskeramik is its internal crystalline structure which results in many light reflections and a very homogenous light distribution using simple standards LED or similar illumination
technology. It is not possible to illuminate full sheets evenly by edge illumination but we recommend an LED lightsheet which give full even distribution from behind the slab or using a light box solution with fluorescent tube.
MAGNA Glaskeramik can be slump curved to certain 2D rather than 3D forms. This adds extra processing cost but is achievable for certain dimensions and radius. Polished surfaces if slumped will gain a slight light ripple effect; this is regarded as very pleasing to the eye.
You can ask on of our local distributor or partners for an offer according to the requirements of the project or approach us directly for technical consultancy.
Please contact us directly for any sample enquiries or through our homepage service.
Because of its unique nature, no two pieces of Glaskeramik are exactly the same. Our engineers try to reproduce slabs of the same mix that are as close a colour match as possible. Your Glaskeramik pieces will likely exhibit variations in colour, shade, glass cullet size and air bubble distribution. Any sample of your chosen mix should be considered a general representation of the final appearance of your surface.
These variations are not structural and are part of the beauty and distinctive pleasure of owning a genuine MAGNA surface.
No one will have a surface exactly like yours.
C. Processing | Care | Maintenance
Glaskeramik can be processed using means similar for marble, quartz or ceramics. MAGNA offers detailed processing information according to our experience, which can be used as a guideline at the time of processing with Glaskeramik. Please find the processing guideline in our technical documentation. We are also happy to offer training with the material for our partners in our facilities.
Glaskeramik is impervious and, given that it is made 100% of recycled glass with no resin, epoxy or additives used during the production, Glaskeramik is a full sanitary and stain-resistant material, which has no special requirements when it comes to maintenance or cleaning, especially not requiring any chemical sealants or impregnator. Generally, Glaskeramik material is resistant to patrols, acetones and ethanol type substances; additionally it is very resisting to chemicals generally but can be scratched by abrasive cloths or metals. Please refer to our cleaning, care and maintenance guideline.
D. Transport and Guarantees
Normally, transport costs are included when receiving an offer from Magna Glaskeramik.
Glaskeramik is normally transported in special non-returnable, but re-usable, wooden crates in three standard sizes and the standard Euro-pallets. Nevertheless, as every project is different, we customize or build ourselves boxes and crates to secure in the best way the piece of Glaskeramik that is about to be sent. Therefore, the packaging will be adapted according to the size and weight of the material. The wooden pallets are accompanied by a frame, protected to avoid scratches, which assures that the pieces do not move and are wrapped in a plastic bundle so it can be well isolated from weather conditions or touched by other objects.
MAGNA Glaskeramik offers for façade-projects a 10 year guarantee; and in case of interior Glaskeramik projects a standard warranty of one year.
It will always depend on the situation in which the piece is damaged and the transport conditions under which the material is sent. Do not hesitate to contact us if you are found in such situation.

Hoosiers In The Polls/
With the media converging on Chicago this week the writers decided it was a good time to vote and announce their opinions on the upcoming Big Ten season. While there are always biases and agendas amongst media members, the fact remains that they cover these teams daily, have access that most can only dream of, and for the most part attempt to hide those prejudices as much as possible.
While preseason polls and voting does not actually mean a thing, that does not stop our eyes from glancing to see where are team was ranked, or our coach was selected. There is something about rankings that interests us, even if we say we don't want to be. It's a human condition, and heck, its plain fun to see your schools name above their rivals.
The Big Ten media had some good news for the Hoosiers as well as some "bad news". I believe that the bad news should really be tempered if you take a step back and look at it, which we will do in just a moment. But first the good stuff!
Hoosiers Named Big Ten Team Most Likely To Surprise in 2013
That's right, the conference media is giving the Hoosier program its due. Those who cover the teams voted Indiana into the top spot under the category "Big Ten team that will be the most surprising this season". They did it in resounding fashion as well. The Hoosiers received half of the 26 overall votes, more than doubling the support for second place Northwestern who received 6 votes.
In addition there were not any decanters, as the Hoosiers were one of four teams, along with Illinois, Ohio State and Purdue, to not receive a vote for "Big Ten team that will be most disappointing this season".
Indiana being a surprise team won't come as a shock to Hoosiers fans that have raised their expectations heading into 2013. However, knowing that the rest of the conference recognizes the growth of the program should be a feather in their cap.
Here are the full voting results of both polls:
Big Ten team that will be most disappointing this season
1. Michigan State 6
2. Michigan 5
3. Northwestern 4
3. Iowa 4
5. Nebraska 3
6. Penn State 2
7. Minnesota 1
7. Wisconsin 1
Big Ten team that will be the most surprising this season
1. Indiana 13
2. Northwestern 6
3. Michigan State 2
4. Purdue 2
5. Iowa 1
6. Wisconsin 1
7. Minnesota 1
Coach Kevin Wilson Gets Shutout of Best Coach Balloting
Alright, so the headline looks ugly, and to be honest, can we really blame them? During the first two years of Wilson's tenure he has compiled a 5-19 record with just two Big Ten wins to his name. On paper it is far from inspiring. However, when you delve deeper into the issues facing the program, and the personnel turnover the head coach had to deal with, you know that the head coach had more to do than just win on Saturdays.
Furthermore, the voting for this award is rather slanted, and hard to break into. Voters pick their top three candidates and the votes are tallied up. First and foremost I think it would be rather difficult for anyone to knock Ohio State's Urban Meyer, who received 21 of the 26 first place votes, off his perch. Then you have the underdog story of Pat Fitzgerald at his alma mater Northwestern, as well as the trials and tribulations paired with a major program that Bill O'Brien has to deal with.
That being said coaches like Brady Hoke, who has supposedly returned the luster back to a legendary Michigan program and Nebraska's Bo Pelini who is one of just 11 coaches in history to win nine games in each of his five years were both sitting outside of the top-4.
Basically what I am trying to say is, this is a tough list to crack. So it shouldn't be looked at as a negative that Kevin Wilson didn't make the list. Instead, the more tempered approach would be that him not being included on the list at all will lead to even more votes for Big Ten coach of the year should the team cooperate with the medias expectations and shock the conference.
Here are the full voting results:
Best coach balloting (voters picked top three)
(First-place votes) Total points
1. Urban Meyer, Ohio State (21) 71
2. Pat Fitzgerald, Northwestern (4) 44
3. Bill O'Brien, Penn State (1) 15
4. Mark Dantonio, Michigan State 10
5. Brady Hoke, Michigan 9
6. Bo Pelini, Nebraska 2

Currently, adCenter API supports both Version 6 and Version 7.
To view the adCenter API documentation on MSDN, go to Microsoft adCenter APIs.
Now, since some topics exist in both V6 and V7, it is important to know which topic you are viewing.
The bread crumb trail at the top of the topic shows you the version. For example, here I?ve highlighted Version 7 at the top of a screenshot taken from the Microsoft adCenter API topic:
You can also see the version number within MSDN?s table of contents pane. Here?s a screenshot of the MSDN table of contents that shows adCenter API content for both V6 and V7:
So using either the bread crumb trail or the table of contents pane, you can quickly determine the version of a topic you?re viewing.
You can also specify, within the URL, which version of a topic you want to view. For example, let?s say you want to bookmark the URL for the V6 version of the GetAssignedQuota topic. Here is that URL (note the version info contained within parentheses):
And here is the URL for the V7 version of that topic (the only difference in the URL is the version number contained within the parentheses):
Note: If you click the URL containing ?(MSADS.70)?, you?ll see that MSDN redirects it to the default version of the URL, which contains no version number, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb671541.aspx. That is because when multiple versions of a topic are on MSDN, we have the default URL (that is, the URL that doesn?t contain a version number) take you to the latest version. Today, for example, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb671541.aspx takes you to the V7 version of the topic; in the future that same URL could take you to the V8 version of the topic. Again, that is because we want the default URL to take you to the latest version. As mentioned you can always use the version number in the URL, or navigate through the table of contents, to reach earlier versions.
While I have your attention, remember to use Version 7 if you want the latest features of adCenter API.
Thank you.

Topic Page: Cadmium
Chemistry. a rare element having the symbol Cd, the atomic number 48, an atomic weight of 112.4, a melting point of 320.9°C, and a boiling point of 767°C. It is a white, ductile metal obtained from zinc ores, and is used as an anticorrosive and in making alloys. Compounds of cadmium are widely used as components of nickel cadmium batteries and as solar energy materials.
(kăd'mēӘm) [from cadmia, Lat. for calamine, with which cadmium is found associated], metallic chemical element; symbol Cd; at. no. 48; at. wt. 112.411; m.p. 321 degrees Celsius; b.p. 765 degrees Celsius; sp. gr. 8.65 at 20 degrees Celsius; valence +2. Cadmium is a lustrous, silver-white, ductile, very malleable metal. It belongs to Group 12 of the periodic table, and resembles zinc in its chemical properties. Like zinc, it tarnishes in moist air. Cadmium oxide, a brown powder formed by burning the metal in air, is used in electroplating; it is also made by heating cadmium hydroxide. Cadmium forms a carbonate, a chloride, and several complex ions. Cadmium yellow (the sulfide) is a very durable yellow pigment used in paints. The major use of cadmium is as a coating that is electroplated on iron and steel to prevent corrosion; it is preferable to zinc for protection from alkalies. Cadmium is also used in so-called fusible metals, which are low-melting alloys such as Wood's metal, used in automatic fire sprinklers and alarm systems. Cadmium is used in alkaline nickel-cadmium electric storage cells, which have a greater storage capacity than an equal weight of lead-acid storage cells. It has also found some use in the control of nuclear reactions, since it absorbs neutrons. Cadmium does not occur uncombined in nature; greenockite, a cadmium sulfide mineral first found in Scotland, is the only commercial ore. Cadmium is obtained principally as a byproduct of the smelting and refining of ores of zinc, especially zinc sulfides, and of lead and copper. The element was discovered in 1817 by Friedrich Stromeyer.

It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. H R Diagram Picture Of Star Evolution. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply. The intention of the fuse is to safeguard the wiring and electrical components on its circuit. A typical watch's basic objective is to tell you the good time of day. When selecting the best type of computer cable to fulfill your requirements, it is very important to consider your upcoming technology plans.
Installing a tachometer on your Vehicles can assist in preventing critical repair problems, however. You might have a weak ground issue. The way the brain learns is a subject that still requires a good deal of study. How it learns can be associated by how it is able to create memories.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. H R Diagram Picture Of Star Evolution. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component. Overall the wiring is really straight forward. There's a lot wiring that you've got to tie into your truck's wiring harness, but it's much easier to do than it seems. A ground wire offers short circuit protection and there's no neutral wire used. There's one particular wire leading from the distributor which may be used for the tachometer.
When you have just a single cable going into the box, you're at the close of the run, and you've got the simplest scenario possible. All trailer plugs and sockets are extremely easy to wire. The adapter has the essential crosslinks between the signals. Wiring a 7-pin plug on your truck can be a bit intimidating when you're looking at it from beyond the box.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. H R Diagram Picture Of Star Evolution. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.
The bulb has to be in its socket. Your light can be wired to the receiver and don't require supply additional capacity to light as it can get power from receiver. In the event the brake lights aren't working, a police officer may block the vehicle and issue a warning to create the repair within a particular time limit. Even though you would still must power the relay with a power source or battery. Verify the power is off before trying to attach wires. In case it needs full capacity to begin, it won't operate in any way.
Replacing thermostat on your own without a Denver HVAC technician can be quite harrowing if you don't hook up the wiring correctly. After the plumbing was cut out, now you can get rid of the old pool pump. It's highly recommended to use a volt meter to make sure there is no voltage visiting the motor, sometimes breakers do not get the job done properly, also you might have turned off the incorrect breaker. Remote distance is left up to 500m. You may use a superior engine ground. The second, that's the most frequently encountered problem, is a weak ground in the computer system. Diagnosing an electrical short can be extremely tough and costly.

LATAM reveals slip in review in third quarter
LATAM Airlines Group has announced its results for the third quarter of 2014, two and a half years after the merger between LAN Airlines and TAM SA.
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2014 totalled US$3,141.3 million compared to US$3,360.7 million for the same period in 2013, while the operating margin fell to 3.8 per cent compared to 7.6 per cent in 2013.
This reduction is primarily explained by a weaker macroeconomic scenario in Latin America, including slower GDP growth trends and weaker currencies in many countries.
Passenger and cargo revenues accounted for 83.9 per cent and 13.1 per cent of total revenues respectively.
Passenger traffic increased 2.1 per cent in the quarter, with passenger load factors reaching 84.5 per cent, representing an increase of 2.1 points compared to the same period in 2013.
In September, LATAM Airlines Group became the first airline group in the Americas to join the Dow Jones World Sustainability Index – the most important sustainability indicator in the world – for its continued efforts in social and environmental responsibility.
Furthermore, during the month of October, TAM and LAN transferred their international operations to the new Terminal 3 at Guarulhos International Airport in Sao Paulo, positioning the airport as the most important international hub in South America.
LATAM continues advancing with the restructuring of its fleet plan, retiring less efficient models and assigning the best suited aircraft to each one of the markets in which it operates, including the delivery of four Airbus A321 and four Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
These aircraft represent savings of more than ten per cent in unit costs compared to the current models. LATAM Airlines Group expects to complete the restructuring of its fleet by 2016, estimating a total investment of US $5.177 million dollars between 2014 and 2016.

There is always something challenging facing any organization. There is always something to "get through." Nathan Eklund discusses a common reaction to these stressors and how these situations are opportunities to lead.
The reality is that for some of my time, I work in sales. When I'm talking to someone with whom we might work, I really am selling two things:
1. The notion that how you treat people is central to your success.
2. If you want to improve about how people feel about coming to work, you should hire us.
I don't state this cynically. It's just the truth.
Amongst all the reasons someone might shy away from doing the work or at least delay it, I hear the phrase "once we get through…" all the time.
"Once we get through this renovation…"
"Once we get through this contract negotiation…"
"Once we get through this round of budget cuts…"
The list goes on. But guess what? You want to know what stresses people and organizations out? You want to know what makes people wonder if maybe they need to leave to find something better? Things exactly like renovations, contract negotiations, and budget cuts.
To me, when I hear someone pull out the "once we get through" card I'm struck by how illogical the reasoning is behind the thinking. If we re-phrased these comments, they would inevitably sound like this: "I'll manage people's stress and our organizational chaos after people are the most stressed out because of our organizational chaos."
Think about that.
So I want to challenge that thinking. What happens when we ban that language and that thinking? How do our behaviors alter via this sketch:
"Getting through" is passive, fearful, and ultimately inefficient leadership. It suggests that later you'll lead. But for now you'll just survive and hope.
"Leading through" is active, thoughtful, and ultimately efficient leadership. It doesn't accumulate organizational stress, it reduces it. It doesn't tax people with vague promises that things will be better later. Instead, leaders who "lead through" are dedicated to the place and the people precisely when they need leadership the most.
I can't cite a historical or revered leader who ducked and covered during stressful times. Our aspirational leaders stepped up exactly when it was most difficult to do so.
So how about you and your organization? What are you "getting through"? What's the impact that's happening on people? What will it look like when you "lead through" these times?
Easy? No.
Right? Almost certainly.

9 Remarkable Facts about German Oktoberfest Lederhosen
What would Bavaria be without their Oktoberfest Lederhosen? Oktoberfest, we can't even imagine without them. You may dispute whether they look sexy, country or elegant. I'd argue that depends on who's in them.
However, what we take for granted today as part of the Bavarian traditional clothing did not always have a sure-fire place in Bavarian tradition.
6 facts to the surprising history of the German Lederhosen phenomenon
- Historically, the traditional German Oktoberfest Lederhosen came from the culottes. These were tight-fitting, courtly knickerbockers. At the end of the 18th century, Alpine folks adopted this style because it was practical for farm work. The leather came mostly from locally farmed goats and sheep. Stag and chamois was the privilege of the upper class since they were allowed to hunt.
- However, the traditional Bavarian leather pants, as we know them, pretty much disappeared at the end of the 19th century. …And they may have never made it to nowadays. But thanks to the Bavarian teacher, Josef Vogl, this unique piece of clothing did survive. Vogl found that this "age-old" Tracht deserved preservation and recognition. Therefore he founded the first Bavarian society for traditional costumes (Trachtenverein) in 1883.
- Most folks were not excited about his endeavors. In fact they laughed at the guys in those knee-long leather pants. The Catholic Church even got involved and prohibited the guys in Lederhosen from taking part in processions. To make things worse, the archiepiscopal ordinate in Munich declared them immoral / unethical in 1913.
- Finally King Ludwig II intervened and changed things around. He shared Vogl's enthusiasm for a Bavarian folk costume. …And with the king's support the traditional German Lederhosen took off. In fact, for a while the Bavarian Lederhosen were extremely popular in the upper class across Europe.
- A century later, Hitler was another historical figure who was extremely fond of these pants. 'Extremely' means of course in his case that he went to extremes: He made this traditional piece of clothing to a national costume. To top it up, he instated a law that prohibited Jews from wearing the traditional Lederhosen in public.
- After WWII the Lederhosen became the pants for boys per se. Finally the European victory march of the jeans put a slight dent into the extreme popularity of the traditional German Lederhosen.
However, during the Oktoberfest season it is recommended to show off in a pair of traditional Lederhosen. You want to look like you belong!
3 crazy facts about Bavarian Lederhosen
- Where there are Lederhosen – there must be a world record! In fact, the largest ever produced pair of German leather pants was made in Zell at See-Kaprun in 2013. This is NOT in Bavaria but Austria! The humongous pair of pants have a waist size of 8.50 meters (=27 feet and 10.65 inches). Their side length is incredible 5.30 meters (=17 feet and 4.66 inches). This makes it even for the largest person look slightly oversized!*
- The oldest pair of Bavarian Lederhosen is at home in Bayrischzell, Bavaria. They're also called the "Ur-Lederhose" (initial/original leather pants). This famous Lederhose was handmade in 1883. According to its current owner, Klaus Pritzl, it was actually worn by one of Josef Vogl's friends, Kaspar Reiter. It's made of home-grown stag leather and is a sanctuary relic of Bavarian tradition!**
- In contrast to common belief, much of the leather for the traditional German Lederhosen is imported from India, Pakistan or New Zealand. Manufacturing is mostly done in Hungary or even India. In fact, there are only a few local tanneries and manufacturers left in Bavaria. So, you can still get a genuine Bavarian Lederhose – just for the right price!

Paper on natural language programming that I wrote junior year in high school. I attempted to design a system that could take arbitrary natural language statements (domain-specific, however), and use artificial intelligence and natural language processing tools to convert it to a programming language that I created, which was then executed through an interpreter. Here is a paper I wrote to summarize my design:

Social justice — the idea that everyone in a society, regardless of the identities they embody, can have an equitable shot at success and happiness — is a goal that seems unrealistic for many people. "It's a pipe dream, Sam," they say, smugly. "Life isn't rainbows and butterflies," they say, adorably.
To achieve social justice we will have to break down a lot of huge barriers that exist on a scale far above the individual, but even the biggest scale change is nothing more than the sum of a whole lot of individual efforts. My goal with this site is to support you in doing just that: making big change on an individual level.

When an icon becomes a meme
There are probably very few people left in the English-speaking world who haven't seen the "Keep Calm and Carry On" image in one form or another. Over the past decade it has been copied, reproduced and altered to fit almost every possible message and communications platform. So my question, for the last of my icon posts, is why did this image become more than just another symbol? And how does an image become a meme?

- Grown, sold, and described by Bunny Hop Seeds
- Plant growth: indeterminate

"Eros" (Эрос) is an orange version (in appearance) of Auria, a long and interestingly shaped paste tomato. The name is a bit confusing, as apparently there is another "Eros" which is a small red globe variety. This is a translated name, but I have included the Cyrillic spelling as well. The seeds were purchased from a Croatian vendor under the translated name.
Eros is high in pectin, with dry, rather sweet flesh, and makes a nice orange sauce. Of course, it is the type that has few seeds…which is great for the cook and not great for the seed supply of the vendor. Very Low stock.

Prism Brute Force Sandbag 25lb
Product Code: prism-brute-force-sandbag-25lb
Price: $109.99
Prism Brute Force Sandbag 25lb
This is the ultimate sandbag for training and conditioning. The Brute Force Sandbag has been used by not only MMA/COMBAT training athletes, but also by police and firemen for conditioning, obstacle course training and CrossFit.
Brute Force features 8 durable, low profile handles that allow for a variety of exercises. It's made with tough 1000D Cordura, a smooth material used by the US Military.
The greatest benefit of the Prism Brute Force Sandbag is the fact that it is awkward to lift. The load is constantly shifting, or at least requires effort to stabilise, and this produces an effect far removed from conventional weight training. The Brute Force Sandbag is not ergonomically designed to make it easier to lift – it makes you work hard for each repetition. The result is that you build strength and conditioning that can be applied in the real world. Scientists would call this 'ecological validity'. But the sandbag has built-in instability, making it the natural choice to integrate instability training into your programe.
With so many barriers to exercise, the inexpensive nature of sandbag training makes it a great option for everyone. If you travel regularly, the brute force sandbag is a great addition to any suitcase.The brute force sandbag will go everywhere you go and it can be filled when you arrive – either at the beach or from a builder's merchant. It is the ultimate portable gym so you have no excuses not to train again!
Made in the USA. Ships without sand to save on shipping!

Residential and Commercial Real Estate Photography
Great pictures sell houses. A home is often a person's largest investment, I approach each job with that in mind.
Have your home professionally photographed to showcase it to its best advantage and dramatically increase your chances of selling. I photograph both large and small homes, from suburban ramblers to luxury condos, as well as new home construction and remodels for builders and architects.
Real estate photos are delivered within 48 hours (usually the next afternoon). Same day delivery may be possible with advance arrangement and for an additional fee. The images are delivered via an email download link.
I use high-quality exposure and lighting techniques, along with natural looking Photoshop retouching (no harsh on-camera flash or overdone, fake looking HDR real estate photos). All photos are shot using a high-end Canon DSLR camera and high-quality lenses.
Fee starts at $125 for 1,000 square feet (add $25 per additional 500 sq ft). Fee is based on the size of home and travel time beyond the Anchorage / Eagle River area. Please inquire using the form at the bottom of this page with a brief description of location and square footage. Also, please let me know if this is a view home, which may determine the best time of day to shoot. I do not put a logo on images as I feel its distracting to the viewer.

MFI (Motherwell Farming Institute) is the premier farming technology development center and training college in the world. Situated in picturesque Motherwell and founded by general Cornwallis in 1805 to develop and test farming techniques to counter the Welsh Leek crop failure and the Irish potatoe Famine. It was in direct competition with MDF (Manchester Design school for Farming). MFI later branched out into interior design and now solely focuses on home decoration.
Origins of MFI[edit]
Druing the 1790's the United Kingdom was undergoing seriosuly bad famines of everything from Gin to Haggis but most importantly leeks and Potatoes, the staple diets of the Welsh and Irish. Prime Minister Lord Henry Bambledach had tried to solve the crisis by importing cheap labour from Poland. This failed as they Polish didn't have the resources to plant Leek Trees and enough Potatoe seeds to sustain the population. Lord Bambledach exhausted retired to the House Of Lords to break the news. Ireland and Wales were done for, unless something was found to remedy the problem and someone brave enough to go through with it. Lord Bambledach is quoted to have said "Come Hither For seuth, for i have grave newes to deliver to thee!. ye Olde Ireland and Wales are all but gone, for there be no remedy to this most serious of quandries". However his right honourable friend Lord Humbledinck came hoovering into chambers and announced STOP! for do not act right now,for i hath scoured thyne land from the very most intricate reigons of John O' Groats to the hive of scum and Villany known as Canvey Island and hath found a solution that whill rock thy world!. Introducing General Cornwallis!!.
At which point General Cornwallis came billowing into chambers arms held aloft on a chariot made from the Bones of his vanquised foes and proceded to make a speach that even the famed Welsh propagandist Ludacris would have been proud to make. Transcripts of the meeting have since been lost but we do know that at the conclusion of the meeting General Cornwallis was appointed Minister Of keeping It Real And Agriculture. From this he set off for Motherwell to scout locations for the "Motherwell Farming Institute".
Back in the day as your would say, travel was much much harder and took twice as long maybe even twice as twice as long, making it one whole journy longer than now, or is it one journey and a half longer? anyway the point is that travelling was shit and boring. General Cornwallis stopped his convoy in the walled city of York for a bit of R and R followed by a hardcore party which General Cornwallis said would be "A party the likes of which had never been seen!". It started at 8pm BST and lasted till 8pm BST the next evening. Sources say that this was because General Cornwallis is the party king and the coolest man since Gengis Kahn. Great Vats of mead were quaffed, Sides of ham devoured and fair maidens "enlightened", General Cornwallis is said to have invented the Spit Roast that evening. he got loads. Lord Nelson Mandela send a text to General Cornwallis to help repel the spanish invasion of everywhere. He declined.
Arrival In The Central belt Of Scotland[edit]
Upon Ariving in Scotland General Cornwallis evacuated his bejewled carridge, flicked his long flowing hair like that of jesus (only jesus,Ross Noble and the general have this hair) and donned his Oakley blades and proclaimed "This patch of wasteground will be the saviour of britain and her empire!". This "wasteground" turned out to be Glasgow. One drunk and or annoyed resident of Glasgow told General Cornwallis to "Fuck aff! ya prick pepo' live heer ya dafty, noo git tae!". this turned out to be Alex Salmond. general Cornwallis was heard to remark "what? people actualy LIVE here? are they mad cruickshank?". The procession set off for Motherwell.
Finding Motherwell[edit]
2 days later General Cornwallis and his expadtionary force arrived in the great city of Motherwell. and found a patch of land inbetween Motherwell and the town of Christine Hamilton (later renamed Hamilton). general Cornwallis decided to let his forces have a rest after 3 weeks of traveling from Westminster London to motherwell. Lord Bambledach rang General Cornwallis to ask him how it was going as the Irish and Welsh were in a bad way. General Cornwallis told Lord Bambledach to "Chillax guy, i got it all undercontrol, you just relax there and go colonise India or deport people to Australia or something... ya know take your mind off things. Don't call me I'll call you. peace. General C". Lord Bambledack was thourougly impressed with General Cornwallis' knowledge of future speach patterns and mannerisms. he text General Cornwallis saying "You certainly know your future trends" General Cornwallis text back simply "lol" Lord bambledach in his memoirs remarked. "he was the coolest man ever to breach my chambers and probably would still be cool in 2008/2009, where someone somewhere will write about these events in some future encyclopedia" This hinted at Lord Bambledachs sexual orientation and his uncanily accurate summation of current events. Sigmund Freud put this down to General Cornwallis "Just being that DAMN SEXY! and that damn cool!". This was widley accpeted.
Construction Of The MFI[edit]
Construction of the MFI was started and completed in 56 weeks, of cource it would have been done in 3 if they had hired the Polish. Once Constructed Lord Bambledach and his Shadow Chancellor Lord Dingly Dang attended the ceremony where literaly tens of people tunred up. it was closer in numbers to Over 9000 people. General Cornwallis made a speach. most of which wasn't noted down however one quote remains stuck in the memory General Cornwallis crooned "Im gonna' turn this fammine in to FUNK!", And so it was. The Motherwell farming Institute was open.
Technologies devised[edit]
TRACTOR= 'Triptonic Rapid Acceleration Technology Open-Top Re-seeding. This allowed for faster replanting of seeds lost when the poor children of Essex came to steel food for their starving families. Everyone's happy!.
CAT'= Completely Automated Threasher. This was developed by General Cornwallis personaly and allowed farmers to get on with othe important jobs such as thrashing the Stableboy and seducing the Milkmaid.
and many more besides. The Invention of these machines began to allivate some of the problems in Wales and Ireland and General Cornwallis was hailled as a God.
The Cornwallis Technique: This involved massaging each seed with the tips of the fingers to illicit the RFR (rapid fertillisation response). Conrwallis said that it was a technique he used on many a fair concubine when going on his epic cruisades to bring funk to the masses.
Growth Acceleration Programme: This involved massive ammounts of Thermonuclear reactions and as Cornwallis put it absolutly lethal doses of radiation. It enjoyed moderate succsess until the locals began to noitce that they were dying rather quickly. However the Crops were absolutly massive.
Current Crop Protecion:This basic but effective scheme was put in place by General Cornwallis to stop theifs for nicking the crops. The system worked by employing "trained safety technitians" (a pissed Glasweigan) using current safety techniques and technology developed the engineers and Neds (Nitshill Engineering Department Students). There was no doubting that the scheme worked as crop theft was down 10 fold but violent sack beatings were up Over 9000 percent.
Today the MFI churns out high price low quality flatpack furnature for the non discerning homeowner. The MFI ceased operations in the farming sector in 1991. The company is still proud of the fact it saved 2 nations in the 1800's. The company owner Mr Eddie Izzard said "times change man, groovy, we needed to keep currant and this was the way man, we won't forsake our heritige but we wont be farming again".
MFI has a solid plywood statue of General Cornwallis in the food court of their head office in Dixson baimbridge, Yorkshire.
Motherwell still has an active farming club that was founded by members of MFI. The Motherwell farming club along with Aberdeen farming club and Glasgow Rangers farming club founded the SPFL (Scottish professional Farming Leauge). 12 farming clubs currently compete and so far rangers have won the prestigeous title of Most Farming Titles won."
- General Cornwallis is honoured each year in Ireland during the Potatoe Day Parade. Teams compete to see how can inject "The Funk" into general Cornwallis.
- Each year Wales holds a Motherwell appreciation day for the men and women of Motherwell who farmed their asses off to save them.
- prime Minister Lord Bambledach has been made an honorary recipiant of the NME award for the Outstanding contribution to the distribution of funk E.G. Hiring General Cornwallis.
