Prague, Czech Republic
|Cause of death
|Brain cancer
|Model, Actress
Andrea Absolonová (26 December 1976 – 9 December 2004), better known by the pseudonym Lea De Mae, was a Czech adult model, pornographic actress and a member of the Czech high diving national team. Mae died from brain cancer on 9 December 2004, at the age of 27.
Born in Czechoslovakia, De Mae was a member of the Czech high diving national team and injured her spine in an accident[1] when training for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, diving from the 10m platform. She recovered from her injury, but did not qualify for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Her problems persisted, so she retired from professional sports.[2]
De Mae was later persuaded by a photographer to pose nude and eventually to participate in the adult film industry.[3][2]
De Mae appeared in over 80 adult films. She first appeared on American screens in a series of features for Private Media Group. She eventually returned to Europe, shooting more films but, after a brief period of time returned to the States.
De Mae was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer in July 2004.[4] Fans and fellow porn actors contributed to a medical fund set up for her in Prague, but she died on 9 December 2004 at the age of 27.[5]

What Causes Trouble Falling Asleep
Mukta Gaikwad
Mar 12, 2019
More than half the adult population of the world finds it difficult to fall asleep. Most of us don't even get the adequate quality sleep that is required for the healthy functioning of the body. With a millions thoughts crisscrossing your mind, at the speed of light, sleep loses its way.
There are a lot of insomniacs looking out for the cure of sleeplessness. Since you've hit this page, counting sheep jumping over the fence, comes as naturally to you as breathing. Difficulty of falling asleep is every person's nightmare at some point of time. Here are a few ways of solving your problem for some deep dreamless sleep.
Attitude towards Sleep
Falling asleep is all about attitude. Most of us have a fixed preconceived notion that sleep isn't coming easily tonight. This thought leads us to deprive the body of sleep.
Try cuddling in your bed and get in the most comfortable position. Focus your mind on sleeping, concentrate on your inhalation and exhalation. Within 30 minutes of this, you will be sleeping like a child.
Incessant Worrying
Incessant worrying about situations at work, at home, with friends or about relationships can cause sleeplessness. An hour before you hit the sack, pen down your thoughts and feelings, in a diary.
As you vent out your bottled emotions, the mind will have its sanity back and a little space for focusing on the important task of sleep. Maintain this diary for as long as you want, so that one day you can look back and see the trivia, that gave you sleepless nights!
Sleeping Positions
Find your comfortable sleeping position, by resting on a position for a while, instead of tossing right away. Change your pillow to a soft one, if you have a hard pillow.
Whichever side you choose to sleep on, it is important that your body is in a straight alignment. If you suffer from heartburn or GERD, try sleeping on your left side, to soothe the pain.
Restless leg syndrome, sore leg muscles, sleep starts (random body jerks just as you are falling asleep) or periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) are reasons for causing sleep deficiency.
Regular physical activity, about 4 hours before bedtime, can help in lessening the jerky movements. In children, this condition maybe related to restless leg syndrome, or due to extreme tiredness. Massaging can help relax the muscles and eliminate the jerky movements in children.
Having a snoring partner in bed, discomfort or a new place, non-conducive temperature and illnesses are more reasons that can make it difficult to sleep soundly at night. Try to introduce some positive changes in your lifestyle to experience a sound slumber at night. Sweetest dreams ever!

Annoyed at the Infocomm Development Authority's management of the Nisha Padmanabhan fake degree incident, a member of the public has written an open letter addressing IDA executive deputy chairman, Steve Leonard, and Yaacob Ibrahim, Singapore's Minister for Communication and Information.
The letter writer accused the IDA of hiring "substandard" foreigners over Singaporeans, and is demanding a reason for this.
The letter writer also wants the IDA to to scrutinise its hiring practices.
The IDA had defended it's hiring of applications consultant Nisha Padmanabhan in spite of her fake MBA, saying the agency had recruited her based on her Mumbai University bachelor's degree.
This is the letter in full:
I am writing to question how IDA handles its recruitment.
This comes at the time when the education qualifications of one of your staff Ms Nisha Padmanabhan is called into question by the public.
This is in relation to her MBA is from South Pacific University which has a earned itself a reputation as a paper mill. Furthermore her first degree comes from the University of Mumbai…. a lowly ranked institution if compared with our home grown universities such as NUS and NTU.
I would also to highlight another HR controversy in the form of the recruitment of Mexican Mr Alan Ramos Lobaton, who's qualifications are completely non related to the info-communication industry. I believe that he has been charged for under-aged sex.
This leads us to question why is IDA recruiting totally unqualified foreigners instead of Singaporeans.
Are we really that short of talent that we need recruit sub standard workers from overseas.
I do not think so.
Minister Yaacob – we citizens appeal to you to initiate a thorough investigations into the IDA's HR recruitment process and also to evaluate all foreign employees working in IDA as to whether their qualifications are appropriate.
One slip up (eg Ramos) is acceptable. Two slip ups begs a closer scrutiny.
We would appreciate action from the Ministry of Communications and Information.
This email will be uploaded into the social media.

Recently reiterating its stance that in some cases employment criminal background checks amount to racial discrimination, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission advised it was filing suit against employers that had improperly applied the screens.This occurred while criminal background screening firm Sterling Infosystems Inc., headquartered in New York City's financial district, boasted an annual growth rate of nearly 35 percent over the course of a decade. Sterling is tapped by companies ranging from Walt Disney to Wal-Mart, assisting businesses in determining whether workers or potential workers have violent backgrounds or histories that might include drug dealing or impaired driving.
Such practices aren't inherently illegal, but as our employment law attorneys are well aware, they can sometimes lead to legal problems if firms aren't careful.
Research conducted in 2012 by the Society for Human Resources Management revealed that 9 out of 10 employers conduct at least some form of criminal background checks – an exponential uptick in the last two decades.
Companies like Sterling boast that they keep the workplace safe. In some cases, firms have a legal duty to know who it is they are bringing aboard, particularly if the business model is geared toward children or other vulnerable populations. On the other hand, these background check companies don't always get it right. And sometimes, even when they do, if the findings are found to be outside of the bounds of anti-discrimination laws, companies might find themselves footing the bill for costly lawsuits.
In cases where the background information was incorrect, denied workers are mostly going after the background check companies directly. However, the employer may also get wrapped up in that litigation because, as the EEOC advises, employers who rely heavily on those background checks in the hiring process, without verification or consideration to the individual worker/applicant, the nature of the crime or how long ago it occurred, may find themselves liable for discrimination.
Case-in-point was the recent EEOC lawsuit filed on behalf of a 14-year employee of a BMW manufacturing facility in South Carolina. In the course of a re-organization effort, the firm learned that the worker had a decades-old misdemeanor on his record. He was subsequently fired. The EEOC alleges this is discriminatory.
In another case, the EEOC is taking Dollar General to task for reportedly denying two workers jobs on the basis of prior criminal backgrounds.
The reasoning of the EEOC is that minority populations are more likely to be arrested and imprisoned. Therefore, to block employment solely on one's criminal history could be found to be racially discriminatory.
However, the issue poses significant quandaries for businesses, who also fear liability if they hire a potentially dangerous worker. Striking an appropriate balance is not a simple task.
We advise firms of all sizes to take a closer look at their criminal background check policies. Better yet, have an experienced business litigation attorney conduct a review for you to determine whether there are any areas of your current procedure that may leave your company vulnerable to litigation.
We know that the EEOC is aggressively approaching these types of cases. A proactive approach may be your firm's best defense.

Mr Lester J Hendershot's magnetic generator.
Lester J Hendershot had something which no one else did, an empirically based intuitive understanding of cored inductor characteristics; an understanding not clouded by supposed the 'scientific theories' of Physics.
Sadly Lester passed from this world in 1961; officially stated to be a suicide, though in circumstances unknown, and his design, though published, has not run since.
There were many circuit drawings of the Hendershot generator; nobody knew how they worked, and some were shown with wax pressed into the inductors. Lester was also the only person who could make them run, and so I off-handed the design as one empowered by radium salts embedded within the wax, whereby the alternating magnetic field would align the emanations with the coil windings and generate output.
Question. What else was happening during the late 50s ?
Answer. The 'Top Secret' development of military Masers.
This is where a Maser could more correctly be defined as the Molecular Amplification of Stimulated Electromagnetic Radiation, and hence any non-military citizens working on this same secret technology without formal authorisation would have been deemed an individual of notable concern.
Masers went up on satellites and are still up there today, ostensibly for peaceful purposess, but they really are extremely powerful beam weaponry devices and thus capable of intentional military destructive use !
Almost two years ago I designed the high Q resonant Ferrite Sleeve Loop Antenna. This was based upon an understanding of EM radiation (photons) and magnetism (electron orbit alignment), whereby the transducing coil overwind electromagnetically precesses electron orbit alignments within the ferrite molecular structure (domains) of the sleeve.
7" Longwave Ferrite Sleeve Loop Antenna Demonstration - YouTube
Which brings me to Lester's generator that I'm sure many subscribers here have already studied.
Lester also had also used 'ferrite sleeves' (steel) inside his tandem inductors, and he too induced electron orbit precession within the sleeves via L1 tuned overwinds.
However he also had L3 and L4 windings having capacitor coupled phase shifted currents wrt L2. The fields from L3 and L4, being at one end of the steel sleeve, would have set up a longitudinal (phonic) wave through the core.
In the correct type of steel an L3/ L4 field wave would affect the magnetic domains longitudinally, and if suitably tuned could set up an axial standing wave of molecular energisation along the length but having amplitude reaction normal to the core axis; possibly in the form of a single standing full wave.
This physically resonant longitudinal domain (electron orbit alignment) energisation would combine with the axial energisation of L1/ C1 tuning, whereby the electron spin precession induced by L1 in the portion of the core overwound by L2, would become toroidally rotational and thus statically generate considerable voltage within L2. The L2 potential thereby feeding both the load and regeneratively energising the phase shifted L3/ L4 wave.
Also the tandem pairing of identical coil assemblies would be essential to maintaining RF oscillation, due to the likelyhood of external loading overcoming the possibility of continuous oscillation due to capacitor damping via L3/ L4. Also the coupling would not just be longitudinal but via synchronously rotating fields.
No wonder Lester was the only person who could tune these devices, for clearly he understood the physical (phonic) resonance characteristics of his steel pipe resonator cores as well as their ferric inductance properties: And this in a way not comprehendable to men of 'science' in the 1930s, though sadly only too well understood by the military during the late 50s.
When I first designed and tested ferrite sleeve inductors I already expected them to have 'energy' uses. Further thoughts had me wondering about mechanically resonant phonic excitation from one end to generate tuned electron orbit spin induction at the other (full domain rotation within the body of the ferrite material), and then whist reading through the Hendershot notes again only last week I came to realise that Lester had already done this; decades ago !!!!!
Obviously he would not have subjected his children to the then well know risks of radium.
I had before asked myself the question of whether AC phonic end excitation coupled with other end tuned excitation on a single ferrite rod or sleeve core using transistorised oscillators could 'generate' electricity, and now I firmly believe that it could, but the molecular nature of the core would be of prime importance.
( This also makes me think of the observed incidence of OU in a TV tube deflection yoke earlier this year, with different windings on the two coupled halves ! )
Cheers ........... Graham.

Well...he was not alone. First was Alfred Hubbard in 1919. Frankly period between 1900 and 1930 was full of strange free energy inventions.
At last...
Greetings Graham,
At last you've brought up my favorite subject -- Lester Hendershot. As there seems to be some "synchronicity"here, I guess it's time I divulged my thoughts on his device.
From the available schematics published by Aho, Hilton, et. al., it appears that the circuit "sloshes" a sine wave between the two L2s (bottom-most coils). The L1/C1 "simply"" assist in this process, assuming that L1/C1 are resonant with L2; it would also appear that C1 is charged by L2 electrostatically (damned interesting if that's true!) with the possibility of L3 and L4 contributing as well.
The portion of the circuitry involving L3, L4, the 1:5 transformer and the load are reminiscent of the Daniel McFarland Cook circuit, with secondaries wired phase-reversed to the primaries and vice-versa.
The heart of the circuit is the magnetic "vibrator." I'd be willing to bet that this little mechanical marvel induces a "kick" at the top and bottom of the waveform, thus adding a small amount of energy TWICE per cycle, caused by making and breaking its magnetic circuit, much akin to Flynn's parallel path, Leedskalnin's perpetual motion holder, etc.
The tuning of the L2s, as with the rest of the system, must be incredibly sharp, given the use of basket weave windings.This would go far in explaining why it was difficult to get it started, and Aho's mention that Hendershot often had to "squeeze" the basket weave coils before it would run. (i.e., slightly modifying the inductance and/or capacitance).
It's certainly possible that the two coil assemblies each produced a standing wave, and it has not escaped me that some interaction between the two might be occurring. As for a motional or rotating wave? Mmm... I'm not so sure about that.
As a mechanical analogue, I would say the device is like two people sitting in a bathtub, using their hands to push a wave of water back and forth, between each other. Timed just right (i.e., resonance) the wave would continue to get larger and more powerful with each push.
It seems to me the real secret of Hendershot's device is in his magnetic "vibrator" (for lack of a better term), being right on the raggedy edge of making and breaking the magnetic circuit -- hysteresis, if you will, the make and break caused by the slightest change in magnetization of the two "doorbell" coils, resulting from a current passing through them. This, in combination with a very touchy oscillator, would yield power galore, up to the current-carrying capability of the coils themselves. (And perhaps beyond, as Hendershot stated that sometimes the coils would burn up.)
One final point of interest is the use of the 80uF and 40uF capacitors, wired in series, with the negative leads connected together, thus functioning as a non-polarized capacitor overall. It seems to me this arrangement would always cause a flow, where the two caps are trying to balance out. (?) Also, the centerpoints of these two capacitor pairs are connected together, apparently creating a virtual ground. (?) A good understanding of this aspect has thus far eluded me, and I'm hoping some bright engineering-type here will shed some light on this for me.
I think I've explained it as best I can at the moment, so I'm looking forward to some discussion on it.
Graham, thanks for starting this thread! Perfect timing
Hi Chris,
Glad of your discussion, I regard the Hendershot principle as being the way forwards -
not with hydrogen, engines, sparks, ions, or radioactivity; though the latter COULD be safe as well as simple.
Yes there are so many Mk3 generator drawings, also no clear photographs of the wiring on any of these MagnaTronic (his son Mark's name for the generator) devices reported to have worked.
The circuit I would regard as being the most likely candidate would have commoned L2's and twin capacitor connections, thus as you say - with a *virtual common ground* between the oscillating halves - as per Ed Skilling's drawings, the Arthur Aho versions drawn by Edward O'Brian, and Mark's 1995 updates, though not Mk3c versions where the C1/2 capacitor was not connected to L1 windings.
Like you I have considered hysteresis and a second harmonic, for timed second harmonic addition on a synchronously triggered '90 to 180' and '270 to 360' degree per cycle basis can indeed augment field induction.
However, there are also reasons why I discount such consideration;-
a) Lester's principle added E-W to N-S for cyclic 'rotary' addition;
b) core saturation would 'magneticly' limit transducible output;
c) harmonic field addition within the core would be wholly passive.
My original post is to suggest electron *spin axis (domain) rotation* within the core (spin within a spin having mutual 90 degree axes), this being quite different to the normal passive electron *spin axis precessions* effected within cores by alternating magnetic field inductions (including mutual between adjacent inductor coils) upon fixed domains.
One thing is for sure Chris - it is already 2012, and we have not even started yet !
Cheers ........ Graham.
PS. There is more here than I can test out, but there are aspects which can be tested.

Moving ahead
Greetings Graham,
I would not discount the possibilites of such phenomena occurring in the device, though I can hardly imagine that Lester could have known or even imagined such concepts in his time.
I would concur that time is short and that we MUST develop a workable device quickly, even if it only exists as a proof of concept.
I suspect that with our combined intuitive and cognitive abilities, we can achieve this goal. Are you up for this?
The most tenuous part of the circuit is the magnetic section, thus I would suggest we design a temporary, battery-powered substite that would emit a properly timed pulse of the appropriate polarity. I envision this as a small transistor circuit powered by a pair of AA batteries. From there, we can explore the oscillator.
I happen to have two basket weave coils, constructed of 18AWG, with nearly identical inductance readings. As well, I have two 24V/3A tranformers which should serve adequately as Lester's 1:5 transformers. Further, I have several 80uF and 40uF capacitors rated at 450 volts, and they fairly well matched. So, as you see, I have come rather well prepared.
I look forward to your reply....
Are you sure that Hendershot and Hubbard devices were different ?
Hi Chris,
Good to hear of your motivation, been so involved with other everyday home/family matters here.
I think Lester had a very deep but highly individual understanding of his circuit. He tuned by intuition, ear and feeling, as described when squeezing the coil assembly to peak output. Likely he sensed coil assembly vibration, and this is what makes me think he understood the phonic aspects of magnetic cores.
Surface phonon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Okay - Transistor oscillator ?
Lester's magnetic buzzer was also a series inductance part of the circuit, and we do not know the induced current/voltage phase relationship, so to preserve circuit action any SS generator output might need to be applied to an equivalent series inductance.
If the buzzer ran at an audio frequency then there would not be any problem mechanically driving a core within a solenoid and close to a magnet by using a sine generator and audio amplifier with separate driving solenoid.
However, since the 1927 version Lester had been using cores as electromechanical resonators, and I feel it likely that his L1/ C1 had been tuned to the longitudinal resonance of the buzzer cores. I also feel that the longitudinal resonance of the steel L1 cores had been directly related to the buzzer core, with clamp tuning being significant here too; maybe even L1 core resonant half frequency so that the buzzer cores were second harmonic resonant to L1 ?
If this had been the case then a second oscillator would be necessary to set up all necessary vibration modes related to the composite magnetic buzzer/ coil assembly, for clearly there was so much more going on here than is simplistically observable from the sum of the parts !
Regarding the L1 coils, it is the steel pipe core that has me puzzled; ie, the type of steel and where to obtain same.
Regarding the thought of L1-4/ C1 'winding-to-capacitor' coupling: There were different voltages between windings and opposite voltages at winding ends. Also C1 is a curious rolled design having an unconnected intermediate layer, the action of which I do not understand other than its potential for introducing a reactive delay.
Cheers ............... Graham.

food for thought...
Greetings Graham,
Well, you've certainly provided plenty of food for thought...
I find that I must take a slightly different approach. It is doubtful at best that any of us could exactly duplicate the device the way Lester created it. Lester himself commented that sometimes he'd get on too many turns, and at other times, too few, and that the device would occasionally "burn up." His son, Mark, apparently tried to duplicate his father's work and never achieved success -- at least not that he's admitted to publically.
Therefore, I would suggest we use our intuition, creativity and modern day knowledge to surmise, quite logically, how the device likely works.
First, would you concur that adding a bit of fresh energy, via the "magnetic buzzer," as you call it, at each half of the sine wave passing through it, would, over many cycles (especially in a resonant circuit) build to a substantial voltage and current being "sloshed" between the two L2s?
If so, then the idea of a small, battery powered transistor circuit to inject such energy into the circuit would suffice to prove the concept.
As for the steel pipe, I think it's safe to say that we'll never know, unless Mark can shed some insight on it. Recall that Lester had also tried a tin can (a coffee can, if memory serves me) which turned out to be inadequate. While it's possible that he was trying for a central magnetic core, it's equally possible, if not likely, that it served only to support the hand-wound capacitor. Why would he go to all the trouble of winding an air core, basket weave inductor, only to change it's resonant frequency with a bit of steel pipe or other ferrous material?
The way C1 was built is indeed intriguing. As I recall, the middle layer (plate) was split in half lengthwise, with a gap between them. That makes me think that he was getting a voltage increase (polarity?) by the charge moving from the larger plate to the smaller one. The schematics indicate a typical, two wire connection to L1, but my intuition tells me otherwise. Presently however, I haven't a clue how he might have wired it.
Again, I believe that if we can enumerate certain likely characteristics, and test them in practice, we'll gain a much better understanding of this little beast.
sleeve cores
Hi Chris,
That 'steel pipe' is so much more than a former for the capacitor.
I need to say this very clearly to everyone who reads this in order to share experience and understanding.
HF magnetic fields in inductor cores are little different to HF electricity in wires: There is an electron based 'skin effect', due to the 'domain' aligning electrons being intimately related with their parent atoms/ molecules through the body of the material.
At HF a solid high permeability core appears to lose permeability; the effective permeability becomes much less than that specified by the material manufacturer.
This is because a delayed electron spin-wave develops towards the core centre, thus creating an axial field incoherence with respect to the core perimeter.
However, if only a thin sleeve of the material is used near to the energising winding then the HF permeability remains high and the field developed by the thinner core becomes many times greater without need for increased coil energisation !!!!!
Factors which puzzle me about Lester's pipe core are - was it a shorted turn and thus posses characteristics essential to the resonant mode - was it a longitudinally welded pipe - did Lester make a longitudinal cut along it - did its crystalline nature particularly suit this application. ???
Were these coil assemblies something like a 'crossed-field' antenna arrangement ?
And yes - as you say - the third layer within the capacitor could have had a hidden connection not to L1.
Sorry Chris, I appear to be posing more questions than answers.
Yes the buzzer did provide energy, but as I suggested maybe via two modes of physical vibration, and which could not be simulated by a single oscillator, also which could not be imitated unless by full replication of the Hendershot Generator in order to first understand what was really happening, and thus how we might progress.
Morpher on YouTube has already completed many investigations, eg.

Yet another 'unknown' of the Hendershot generator would relate to the magnets Lester used, for these too have their own internal molecular impedances in series with their electron-spin encapsulated fields, and hence the magnet field would also have been oscillating in tune with the coil assemblies !
What kinds of magnets did Lester use - did he use the magnetron magnet because he knew about its internal mode of balanced oscillation about a central pole ??
Was there ever any indication of whether the output of a Mk3 Hendershot generator was AC or DC ?
So Chris, whilst you might be able to energise Hendershot type coils with a transistor oscillator, I remain convinced that the buzzer generated two frequencies in the form of a modulated carrier, and it is possible that a radio testing bench oscillator offering modulated RF output, with both modulation and RF frequencies being independently tunable, might represent a route for progress by eliminating many unknown buzzer related variables.
Cheers .......... Graham.
getting deeper!
Well, Graham, the well of questions is clearly getting deeper! You've made some interesting points in the prior two posts.
The thin sleeve core is a fascinating idea, since Joseph Cater's device has many such thin cores in its construction. This apparently affects the magnetization curve and so getting the right amount of current flowing through L2 appears critical. Cater used a shorted turn approach, according to the description in his book. If constructed properly, it should be possible to try both methods, shorted and thin gap in the material. I was thinking that something like .002" steel shim material might be a solution. Your thoughts?
The crossed field antenna -- hmm -- this reminds me of Larry Rayburn's TREC device. Your mention of this presents some intriguing thoughts, in light of the L2/L3/L4 arrangement. More food for thought.
As I recall, Lester didn't get around to using the magnetron magnet until quite late in the game, a refinement, if you will. Prior to that, he was using ordinary horseshoe magnets with a keeper across the poles. (Why on earth did he leave the keeper in place, I wonder? Any thoughts on this?)
The modulated carrier idea is a damn good bit of thinking, Graham. Could it be that the buzzer provided the carrier wave, whilst atop it was all the "noise" of the obviously much higher frequency signal of the L2 coils? Was the buzzer operating near 60Hz? It would seem viable, since a mechanical device is limited in frequency. The question now becomes, how would a modulated signal be translated to the load? Is some part of the circuit demodulating and combining the HF energy with the carrier? Would that even be necessary? You're the radio man, so I defer to you on this point.
It would appear some progress is being made -- exciting!
Here is related question which bothers me for a long time but since I don't have much experience with electronics I haven't built any device to proof it yet.
If we have very high frequency AC or DC pulsed current and modulate it to 50Hz would it behave exactly like 50Hz current ? I mean about power transfered to load like resistive electric kettle.
It may be crazy idea but Thomas Edison found etheric force working on with vibrator, and his statements were incredible.
Hendershot used something very close, very interesting resemblance...
modulated 50Hz
Hi boguslaw,
This is exactly the question I brought up to GSM. It's a good question. I don't think the typical power supply (especially one connected to sensitive electronics) would appreciate it. Light bulbs (incandescent, that is), on the other hand, don't give a crap what kind of power you feed them. There are plenty of examples of bulbs glowing on RF power, spikey stuff (Bedini energizers), Tesla coils, and so on.
Could you please post what you have found on the Edison stuff you mentioned. Sounds quite interesting.
Hi Boguslaw,
I don't think that the Hendershot generator runs at the sort of frequencies associated with spark gap technologies, and it is possible the longitudinal resonance induced within the core could be 30 to 60kHz, so although I suggested a modulated RF generator, it would need to be one running at low RF frequencies, or even be an audio generator having extended HF range. Besides, the TV frame output transformers would still be useful at this sort of frequency, whereas the cores used in mains transformers would be much more lossy.
Also whilst lamps would still run at that frequency your question about other equipment is most valid, because 'no' - a 50-60Hz modulated carrier is quite unlike 50-60Hz mains, and coiled wire heaters might have a self inductance which would effectively reduce their dissipation.
The Thomas Edison observations related to vibration are new to me and likely require further investigation, especially if this related to the vibration of 'magnetic domains'.
Hi Chris.
You know what, I have mused so much about this I find it difficult to find any starting point.
I have not heard of any works by Joseph Cater either, so obviously my studies must continue.
Re the magnet keeper; obviously to maintain maximum field when not in use, for the gap could not have been completely closed during operation.
Also yes, I believe the mass resonance would have been at a carrier frequency, with the those 40uF capacitors able to introduce phase change at such frequency.
Another reason why I think a travelling wave is longitudinally induced within the core is due to the twice phase shifted low impedance outputs of T1/2 being fed to L3 windings with respect to L2 and the single phase shifted drive to L4.
Anyone have an original Hendershot generator I can get my hands on, or even if I might directly question any owner of same to fill in some of the blanks ?
Is Mark Hendershot still alive and amenable to open source questions, for there is no way I would be willing to do this in a non-public way ?
If yes, does Mark communicate via the internet ?
Cheers ............. Graham.
a starting point?
Perhaps as a starting point, you could present all of your "surmisings" (if that's a word!) and thoughts about how the device might work. I think I've presented my case fairly well, and clearly there's lots of room for improvement. I'm so-so in the electronics department, but I don't hold a general class radio license; pretty much everything I know is self-taught.
I don't recall reading anything about the keeper being removed during operation, but it's clearly drawn in nearly all the schematics, hence my question.
There appears to be a great deal of phase shifting taking place, which leaves me wondering if that's how Lester approached this thing ab initio. Add a little inductance here, a little capacitance there, until voltage and current were back in sync, with a power factor pretty close to one. Hmm?
You might try locating Mark, last I heard he was still alive and kicking. From the pictures I last saw back in the mid 90s, I'd say he's probably in his late 40s, maybe even early 50s at present. Best of luck trying to find an original device, however. Mark is probably the ONLY source.
As mentioned, I'd very much enjoy hearing your analysis of the schematics...
Cater's device
P.S. You can find a good write-up of Joseph Cater's device in Patrick Kelly's e-book, Chapter 5. http://free-energy-info.co.uk/index.html. It starts on page 138.
Aho notes.
This is thread related to Edison etheric force. He was not alone to find this. Yes, I believe he found radio waves but it's properties from "near field" or longitudinal waves.
1872, Elihu Thomson - anyone got this document in scientific american 1872??
This is old thread related to Hendershot:
Hendershot Replications
Before you dismiss Edison discovery read carefully what he published as a response to critics. I found it startling, almost thought he lied us.What if not ?
Read the text from picture. More interesting details can be found in Edison papers but it's hard to decode handwritten text.
Thanks for the links Boguslaw. I will study these next.
I've checked out earlier links but found nothing similar to Hendershot's work.
No other devices had phased windings over a core capable of generating a longitudinal phonic (domain matter) oscillation within that core.
Such a standing longitudinal wave would be capable of vibrating magnetic domains (electron spin orbit alignments) beneath L2 in a manner beyond the simple electron precession of a normally induced L2 alternating field, thus into a transducible magnetic spin field, or limited NMR ?
I note from the Aho link I added that the generator output was circa 60Hz, though whether plain AC or a modulated carrier is not stated. Also I don't accept Aho's words about the manner in which he suggested the capacitors were working - too esoteric and lacking in fundamental detail.
As long as we search for the aetherial which commercially funded 'experts' claim exists - then we will never succeed.
Cheers ............. Graham.

I have just lost a lengthy and detailed post here.
I must quickly make written notes and repeat later.
This has happened to me before via this forum ?????
Combustion is an electromagnetic reaction, explainable via the language of Chemistry, but also via atomic Physics where molecular changes accompany entropy change with electron separations or combination and/or ion/ plasma generation.
Edison is so correct in his statement that only electricity (electrons) could be involved, but electrons are of matter, NOT an imaginary aether.

Life's little frustrations
I have also had my share of editing glitches. Hopefully the people at Jelsoft are aware of these problems. I hope you were able to regain your thoughts, I'm anxiously awaiting to read them. For such deep posts, I might suggest using Notepad or other plain text editor as the primary tool, followed by a copy and paste of your text into this forum's editor. If "feces occurs," at least your work is preserved in Notepad.
I wish to make a correction to my earlier analogue of the Hendershot device. Rather than the "two people in a bathtub" approach, I think it's better expressed as two children on a see-saw. This implies a 180 degree phase difference at the L2 coils; while one is at its peak, the other is at its trough, and vice versa. It follows that the resonant frequency of the two coils must be very nearly identical, with only the most minute phase shifting permissible. Further, the L1/C1 pairs become the "children," if you will, to "push back" at the right time in order to maintain the oscillation.
I'm still "processing" the notion that a near 60Hz carrier wave is being modulated at the L2 resonant frequency. How that 60Hz is being generated is somewhat of a mystery given the small inductance and capacitance values being used. The "buzzer" seems to be the only point at which such a low frequency can be generated, and then the question becomes, is it really a sine wave, or some "spikey" looking waveform due to the mechanical make-and-break nature of the thing? More questions....
I do agree with you about Aho's commentary, albeit with some reservation, since consciousness *IS* the true "final frontier." However, I won't digress into that discussion on this thread, as it's vitally important to stay on topic and highly focused on the task at hand.
More to come....
The fields of these assemblies would be considerable with circa 100V being generated, and I am open to a see-sawing of energy, but not via a carrier frequency difference between the cores/ windings, because their fields are so closely situated they would have unavoidably high mutual coupling.
Can anyone else help out here ?
So my thoughts run to either sidebands or a circular interaction, with the 90 degree lead of one coil output referenced against a system virtual balanced zero point, driving the load against a 90 degree zero referenced lag from the other coil, and vice-versa via normal field alternation, with the cyclic core loading of both assemblies at 0 and 180 degrees being minimal so that both the coherent and sequential regeneration of oscillation and output can continue ?
I am short of time - notes made to add, but wanted to reply to your post Chris, and keep the brainstorming from flat-lining.
Cheers ......... Graham.

Going through my notes;
The core - 32 thou stainless steel sheet, likely capable of attracting a magnet, cut to size suitable for making the sleeve core, and with a silver soldered seam ?
If soldered then the core was definitely a shorted turn, and if soldered why would the core look as if it had a taped join in a couple of photographs.
Mark Hendershots own construction does not even show a core, and there is no way one of these generators could operate without one.
Many folk mention 500kHz related to Lester's capabilities, or said to be the generator's frequency of operation just below the broadcast band, however I cannot see anything in this circuit capable of resonating circa 500kHz, whether naturally, or via tuning.
L1 was measured at 120uH. During energised operation this figure might well be greater and so when tuned with the hand made 7,800pF capacitor could be tuning around 100 to 120kHz (below the European LW band), or lower.
Around this frequency might turn out to be a second harmonic to the first phonic longitudinal resonance of the core, and thus tie in with Lester's coil winding arrangements whereby L1 and L2 are over one half of the core, whilst the phase transforming coils L3 and L4 are over the other; these pairings separated by the harmonic vibration mode null.
C1 - why hand make this component, for at RF it must posses a decidedly low Q, and thus better be replaced by the much higher quality standard components already available in radio shops ?
The long and not-connected strip of C1 was wound directly against the stainless steel core though separated by paper insulation. The strips of this capacitor are aluminium, a common metal which releases electron charge when impinged upon by emanations from atomic modification and energetic EM radiation; thus yet more reason to consider either fully rotational orbit spin of sleeve core electrons, or NMR induced within core !
Excess electron charge actively induced within the long strip would also be alternated between the C1 terminals and thereafter across L1 under the directing influence of the cylindrical magnetic field alternating longitudinally with respect to the core's outer circumference. Thus correctly phased connections would be essential between C1 and L1, for this might well prove to be THE potential source of RF field regeneration, and thus electrical output !
Remember folks you read these aspects here first, and as of today already having prior Worldwide publication, so the scum First to File Patent scammers will no longer be able to claim commercial originality and novelty - for truly - these have always belonged to the so long ago reported sole inventor - Lester Hendershot.
Cheers ............... Graham.

Jesus Christ, Graham, it's taking me longer and longer to absorb and understand your posts. Either I'm an idiot or you've become an academician on me. Yikes!
Don't misunderstand, I love where you're going with all of this. It's brilliant! It's just that I tend to adhere to Einstein's philosophy, to paraphrase, it shouldn't require ten thousand words to explain a simple concept!
Okay, so let's tear apart your last post so that I can wrap my feeble mind around it:
1. You're saying 32/1000" (.032") stainless steel sleeve. I think I suggested 2/1000" (.002") garden variety (non-stainless). First of all, you're not going to "solder" either one, nor are you going to weld them. You might be able to braze it into a tubular shape. Yes, I'm being rather picky with terminology, but there are distinct differences in all three techniques (welding, brazing and soldering) and simply wish to avoid confusion.
As for the material thickness, IMHO, the thinner the better, since there's less matter involved to become magnetized, hence a speedier magnetization rate, and likely less current required to achieve magnetization. Am I right on this?
As for the "tube" being "solid" (shorted turn) or having a gap or slit down the side, I would intuitively vote for the latter, but perhaps we should discuss the pros and cons of both techniques.
2. Operating frequency vs. 500 KHz. As I recall, the story was that Lester could intuitively peel off the proper amount of wire from a reel for a desired frequency, in one case, this being 500KHz (which would seem to imply that Lester knew a thing or two about radio!) I don't have the numbers in front of me at the moment, but perhaps we should examine the wire length of L2, since its resonant frequency will be determined by that length (in an air core coil, anyway).
3. Hand wound C1. Ah, here's the biggie! First, the salient points: A) Yes, the material was aluminum, chemically treated to cause surface pitting, thus creating a larger surface area and thus a higher capitance; B) In response to "The long and not-connected strip of C1 was wound directly against the stainless steel core though separated by paper insulation." Graham! Really? If there were a paper sheet separating the stainless steel from the aluminum strip, then the two were NOT in physical contact! Let's look at this another way.
Current flows through L2 by which we establish its electric and magnetic field components. My sense of it is that C1 is being charged SOLELY by L2's E field. With C1 charged, L1/C1 can now "push back" (as a current source) through L2. In other words, it's keeping the swing moving at "no charge" (pardon the bad pun!)
NMR? Hmm. Maybe, but I thought iron's NMR was up around 6MHz. Even harmonically, that's a helluva long way up the chain.
Now here's a kick in the pants for you. I seem to recall that both Searl AND Otis T. Carr used stand-alone LC circuits in their EM/ES craft. In other words, an L and a C connected in parallel with no electrical connection to any further circuitry -- but with a definite magnetic connection via anther coil. Wild, eh? It appears that this method was devised LONG before you and I came on the scene!
Damn, if Project Pegasus was real and still exists today, I want to go back in time and meet these guys!
So yes, it would seem we're on the right track. I say the next step is some experimenting...
PS. Looks like somebody gave this thread a 5-star rating... cool

Hi Chris,
I never realised that stainless steel was available so readily.
I guess near to 32 thou would be 0.7 and 0.9mm sheet.
stainless steel sheet plate 100mm x 100mm x 3mm 304 2b finish items in inspiredsteel store on eBay!
Also silver solder for joining stainless steel is readily available, and not expensive either.
Silver solder is the cool way to join stainless steel without changing its homogenuity (magnetic characteristics).
Shorted turn or not, it would not be difficult to try both.
L2 is part of the power circuit and not 'doing' the tuning. Tuning is related to L1 and C1 - as adjusted by Lester using tiny compression clamps.
Re your vision of C1 charging; I would ask "how?"
C1 foils run against a common foil, and are not connected to anything else.
Also their closeness of proximity causes a (shunting) RF impedance much lower than would be the case with a field energisable coil winding.
What I suggest is that it is the capacitor foil which could transduce induced core emanations, and I'm not sure where that 6MHz figure comes from.
Cheers ............ Graham.

"There's plenty, you know!"
Hi Graham,
You can also find steel shim stock (which IS magnetic) in many widths, lengths and thicknesses. To quote Eddie Murphy in the film "Coming to America'" "There's plenty, you know!"
Hmm! Hadn't considered silver soldering, though I suspect it'd take some substantial heat to do it on steel.
So, you don't think the L1/C1 + L2 form a resonant circuit? I'll bet they do! Consider: a basket weave coil is going to have a REALLY sharp resonance point. Getting TWO of them to resonate at the SAME frequency would VERY difficult (especially without a variable cap for tuning), so it makes perfect sense that Lester would have to hand-tweak the coils.
As to how C1 gets charged: TWO ways, now that I think about it. First is through inductance via L1 (albeit at a pretty low voltage and current level), but also by L2's E-field! I did thing quick experiment a year or so ago: I took a PVC coil form, wrapped it first with a non-shorting length of copper foil, over that some paper, then over that, a hundred or so turns of magnet wire. I connected the coil to my signal generator, put my scope ground on the SG's ground, and the scope probe on the copper foil. Voila! That signal appeared on the copper foil, sharp and clear. Now this is undoubtedly not enough evidence to say that C1 would get a REAL charge this way, but it does seem to comport with Daniel McFarland Cook's phase-flipped "transformers" and some of the coil/capacitor hybrids that have been researched here and on other fora. It gives me every reason to believe that there's something to the concept that bears further investigation.
Well, I just read the last line of your post: "What I suggest is that it is the capacitor foil which could transduce induced core emanations." Hmm. Didn't I just say that?
As for the 6MHz, look up the NMR frequency of iron -- mmm...maybe it's copper I'm thinking of... but that number seems to be stuck in my head for some reason, related to something I must have read at one time about ferromagnetic resonance.
I've never quite wrapped my mind around the "virtual ground" idea. I know Dollard has talked about it, maybe you or someone here could expound on this a bit. It makes me think it's somehow highly frequency-dependent.
"My sense of it is that C1 is being charged SOLELY by L2's E field."
Geotech - Technology for Treasure Hunting
What I am suggesting is down to oscillated domains of magnetically induced electron precessions plus induced spin orbit changes to atomic relationships within the molecular body of the core; these radiating directly into the insulated long aluminium strip, which develops electron charge that is synchronously dielectrically alternated between C1/2 terminals into L1 windings.
Not from L2 E field, but from a resonantly phased L2+3+4 longitudinal spin wave induced within the core.

Google's influence on the digital marketing world is immeasurable. Google's market dominance in terms of the number of people using the search engine is undisputable. The key to being successful with Adwords is to plan your investments in Adwords strategically. You don't have to spend a lot on Adwords to get good returns from advertising in the search engine.
Here are a few tips to be successful with Adwords and get returns on your investments.
Measure conversions
To see if your Ads are reaching the right customers, you need to measure the conversions through these Ads. You can do this by using a simple and free tool that is available in Google Adwords. Set up conversion tracking to measure the conversions generated from your Ad campaigns. This data will give you information on which Ads and keywords bring business, and which ones are most profitable. You can use this Data to make changes to the Ad campaigns and make the best out of it.
Use the right keywords
Put yourselves in the shoes of your customers and think as to what you would enter in the search box to finding your product or service. Write down the main categories of your business, and then write down the terms that might fall under each of those categories. Selecting the right keyword will help your Ad to reach the right audience.
Remove the Non-converting keywords and underperforming Ads quickly
Use Google's optimized Ad rotation settings, you should also clean up Ads which are not performing. Use the statistics- conversion clicks which are the tally of clicks on the Ad that lead to conversions. Google Adwords also provides the statics on cost per conversions this will help you see how much you have spent to get conversions. Analyze the statistic regularly to see which keywords words and Ads are performing well so that the nonperforming once can be scraped.
Add negative keywords
Negative keywords can help you reach your potential customers who are most interested in the products and services that you have, to offer. For example, if you enter discount as a negative keyword your Ad won't come up when people use the search term as discount. Using negative keyword you can, not only eliminate wasteful-Ad spends before it starts but also save time and increase productivity.
Test your Ads
A tool called Ad preview and diagnostic lets you check the status of your Ad for a particular keyword. Use the tool to check where you're Ad appears on the page for a particular search result. Keep testing and analyzing to see how your Ad is doing, tweak the campaign to get the best results from Google Adwords. Placing your Ad in the most optimal position is most important thing in a Goggle Adwords campaign, the best way to get this right is to test your Ads.
Lifetime value of the customers
Have you calculated the lifetime value of your customers? If you haven't start doing it now. If the lifetime value of your customers is 6$ and if you are spending 8$ to acquire them then you will run out of business. So monitor how much you are spending to acquire each customer and the returns you get from them. Here is infographic on how to calculate the lifetime value of the customers- http://- https://blog.kissmetrics.com/how-to-calculate-lifetime-value/
Know which Ad your Ad is competing against
Don't make the mistake of not knowing the Ads that are competing against your Ads. See the Ads of your competitors; observe the keywords they are using, check their landing pages see if it is more compelling than that of yours. Competitor analysis is necessary for any form of advertising. Specifically, place yourself in the shoes of your customers and think on which Ad you would click.
Optimize your Goggle Adwords campaigns and get a huge advantage over your competitors. Google Adwords is a definite good investment of you time and money. Follow the steps to reap the benefits of this huge online market. Do post your suggestions to be successful with Adwords.

New NVIDIA G-SYNC Features
NVIDIA revolutionized computer displays in 2013 with the introduction of variable refresh rates, enabling gamers to enjoy highly responsive, tear-free, stutter-free experiences on G-SYNC monitors. Reviews are phenomenal, and gamers everywhere agree that it's painful to play on anything other than a G-SYNC display once you're used to the flawless experience it provides.
Today, we're making G-SYNC even better with the launch of new advanced features, by bringing G-SYNC to notebooks, and by announcing a new wave of desktop monitors that include 4K IPS screens, a 2560x1080 VA monitor, and a curved 34" 3440x1440 ultra-wide beauty.
The Acer X34 is the first ultra-wide, curved G-SYNC monitor
You can learn more about the new G-SYNC notebooks and monitors here. Below, we'll examine the new G-SYNC NVIDIA Control Panel feature that enables you enjoy super smooth G-SYNC gaming whilst playing in a window or borderless window, and the new advanced user features that enable complete control over G-SYNC's modes and functions.
When G-SYNC was released you were limited to true Fullscreen if you wanted to use G-SYNC's innovative features. Now, you can enjoy a tear-free, stutter-free experience whatever your screen mode, enabling you to look at web pages and streams in a browser window while playing Hearthstone, World of Warcraft, or any other game in a window on your desktop. It's also handy for the many excellent indie games on Steam that lack full screen options.
To enable windowed G-SYNC simply go to "Set up G-SYNC" in the NVIDIA control panel, select "Enable G-SYNC for windowed and full screen mode", and click the "Apply" button. Note: 3-Way and 4-Way SLI are currently unsupported by the new windowed G-SYNC mode. Fullscreen remains available for these configurations.
For enthusiasts, we've included a new advanced control option that enables G-SYNC to be disabled when the frame rate of a game exceeds the maximum refresh rate of the G-SYNC monitor. For instance, if your frame rate can reach 250 on a 144Hz monitor, the new option will disable G-SYNC once you exceed 144 frames per second. Doing so will disable G-SYNCs goodness and reintroduce tearing, which G-SYNC eliminates, but it will improve input latency ever so slightly in games that require lighting fast reactions.
To use this new mode, set "Vertical sync" to "Off" on a global or per-game basis in the "Manage 3D settings" section of the NVIDIA Control Panel. When your frame rate exceeds your monitor's rated G-SYNC refresh rate, for example 144Hz, G-SYNC will be disabled.
Some G-SYNC monitors also include a NVIDIA Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB) display mode, which strobes the backlight of the monitor to eliminate motion blur and further reduce input latency. The quality of ULMB is tied to a player's frame rate, however, meaning a high, consistent frame rate of 120 to 144 frames per second is required to avoid distracting and unsightly flickering.
In the new Game Ready driver, you can now select on a per-game basis whether to use G-SYNC or ULMB, if your monitor supports it. This allows for seamless switching between display modes, enabling players of Counter-Strike to use ULMB, before switching to G-SYNC for The Witcher 3, without any additional user input or use of the monitor's OSD.
To enable the new ULMB option on ULMB-equipped monitors, enter "Manage 3D settings" in the NVIDIA Control Panel, select a game profile on the "Program Settings" tab, and opt for "ULMB" under the "Monitor Technology" option.
Combined, the new functions enable complete control over your G-SYNC experience. Start using them today by downloading the 353.06 GeForce Game Ready Drivers from GeForce.com or GeForce Experience. Please note, all features listed above, other than ULMB control, are available on G-SYNC notebooks, too.
Dynamic Super Resolution For Notebooks
With the launch of the GeForce GTX 980 and 970 we introduced the world to Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR), a software feature that enables gamers to enjoy 4K-quality graphics on any HD screen. How it works is simple: compatible games are rendered at a higher, more detailed resolution, and the image is intelligently shrunk back down to the resolution of your monitor using a custom-made filter, giving you up to 4K-quality graphics on your screen.
With the new GeForce Game Ready drivers installed, you can now use this fan-favorite feature on notebooks equipped with GeForce GTX 400M, 500M, 600M, 700M, 800M and 900M Fermi, Kepler or Maxwell discrete GPUs.
Kepler Performance Optimisations
Following end user reports of lower-than-expected performance in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt when using GeForce GTX 600 and 700 Series Kepler GPUs, we have identified and fixed three bugs that were limiting performance not only in The Witcher 3, but also Far Cry 4 and Project Cars. With the new GeForce Game Ready drivers installed, frame rates are increased in each title, improving and optimising your experience.
We would like to thank the community for their feedback on this issue. These reports and benchmarks helped greatly in rapidly identifying and resolving the issue. If you have any further feedback following the installation of the new driver, please post it in this thread.
New SLI Profiles
Upgrade your rig with a second NVIDIA GeForce GTX GPU to activate SLI, the multi-GPU technology of choice for gamers. With intelligent scaling and industry-leading multi-GPU anti-stutter technology, NVIDIA SLI is the smoothest, most effective way of increasing frame rates by up to 2x.
In the new GeForce Game Ready drivers, the following SLI profiles have been introduced:
- Monster Hunter Online - Added DirectX 9 and DirectX 11 SLI profiles
- Space Engineers - Added DirectX 9 SLI profile
GeForce Game Ready Driver: Download Now
You can download the new GeForce Game Ready drivers through GeForce Experience, our free, essential, game and system-enhancing application, or from the GeForce.co.uk Drivers page.
If you experience any technical issues with the new Game Ready drivers please post a detailed report on the GeForce Driver Feedback Forum, where our Customer Care team can better assist you.

Dallas-Fort Worth's Diverse Industrial Market
While we tout the diversity that characterizes our office tenants here in Dallas-Fort Worth because of the strength and stability it brings, our industrial tenant base shares a similar diverse make-up.
The chart below highlights the breakdown of industrial tenants by major Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) category, illustrating the wide variety of tenants that shape our market. We have also included some of the more recognizable tenants that fall into the larger segments to give a flavor to the major players. One take-away here is that the SIC categories tend to pigeon-hole companies into specific sectors.
For example, Fossil and Mary Kay are logged under manufacturing, when many would think of them more as a retailer. Likewise, Unilever is under business services (finance) instead of wholesale – retail, because of that global corporation's extremely diverse structure, ranging from food and drink (Ben & Jerry's and Lipton) to home / personal care (Dove and Q-tips), as well as support for the restaurant industry through Unilever Food Solutions, their extensive corporate R&D work, and a deep supplier chain across the globe.
As we look through the 2,300+ tenants with over 50,000 square feet of industrial space in DFW that make-up this breakdown, retail, ecommerce and consumer products come through as a clear regional strength, although they may be tallied in a variety of SIC categories depending on the corporation.
Likewise, construction (homebuilders and products) are sometimes listed in a variety of SICs. While most fall under our "construction" category, some creep into other sectors, like manufacturing due to the company's designation.
The significant takeaway is that DFW's industrial market is extremely diverse and has numerous drivers shaping demand due to north Texas' central US location, large economy as a top five metro, and exceptional regional and inter-state access through its road network, multiple logistics hubs, rail and air.
Learn more about the Dallas industrial market, national trends and what's happening in other markets across the US in our latest Industrial Outlook available now.

Were you there when they opened Chateau Mylord?
Were you there with they sniffed and sipped Chateau Mylord?
Ooooh ooooh oh oh, sometimes, it causes me
To tremble...tremble....tremble....
Were you they drank Chateau Mylord?
Why did I buy this bottle? That joke, my friends, that joke. Don't bother writing me hate mail.
Forest floor, clove, and cherry on the nose.
Hmmm....earth, funk, spice, cinnamon, clove, cherry, super ripe strawberry, quite tannic and harshly acidic.
The tannins flex their muscles on the finish.
The second day brought out tobacco and spice on the nose. The acid has subsided a bit, but the fruit has faded too. Lots of earth, cigar, tobacco, bell pepper, with very bold tannins. The finish is all brown spice – nutmeg and clove.
Nothing over the top exciting but on the second day this is a pretty typical, cheap, classic style Bordeaux. Not a bad bottle for ten bucks.

Hopefully our guide to accommodation in the city here will help you get a roof over your head. To avoid crazy downtown rents, a lot of working holidaymakers move south across Granville Bridge towards Oak St, Broadway and even the trendy, beachfront neighbourhood of Kitsilano.
Vancouver really has so many great places to live; it really is worth putting the time in and doing your research before you arrive. On arrival, I would suggest staying in a hostel or with a friend for a week or two during which time you can arrange apartment viewings in the neighbourhoods you have identified as "your kind of place".
Some of our favourite hangouts are Gastown, Yaletown, West End, and Kitsilano. Unfortunately, all of these come with a big price tag – Kitsilano probably being the most reasonable and only just over Granville Bridge with great public transport. Burnaby is another area just outside of downtown that attracts a lot of working holiday makers so its well worth considering. Even out by Metrotown is a good idea as it is on the Skytrain and as Metrotown is Canada's largest mall it offers plenty of casual retail and similar type jobs.
As with our suggestion for Toronto, if you are just going for a summer, do consider the student residence at University of British Columbia (UBC). They may also rent their accommodation out to working holiday makers and international students. Again, it will be central and well serviced by public transport. Check out the summer residence a UBC here.

- Published: 31 July 2015
SPRINGFIELD – The number of runways allotted to O'Hare International Airport is officially raised from eight to ten thanks to a proposal introduced in the Senate by State Senator John Mulroe (D-Chicago). The measure was signed into law by the governor today.
"We wanted to get the FAA and the City of Chicago to engage us in the conversation about the ill effect the noise was having on the residents in mine and others' districts," Mulroe said. "It had become clear to us that the noise problem greatly escalated following the completion of the O'Hare Modernization Program."
The O'Hare Modernization Act was passed in 2000 with the intention of increasing efficiency and safety of the airport by adding multiple parallel runways to accommodate the greater number of East-West travelers. The number of noise complaints in January 2015 was 39,500, whereas the number of complaints the previous January was 1,357 prior to the opening of a new parallel East-West runway.
The language of the new law would allow O'Hare to keep the existing runways intact, including the existing diagonal runways, which allowed air traffic to be more evenly distributed. During the passage of this bill and a companion proposal, the City of Chicago began to decommission one of the diagonal runways leading to the issuance of a Memorandum of Understanding between all involved parties delaying any further work until previously agreed upon open house meetings with the public are held.
"The goal was to involve the community and hopefully address some of the very real concerns that people are having about the noise levels and the decreasing property values," Mulroe said. "While it is unfortunate that the decommissioning process began prior to these meetings being held, I am optimistic that all involved parties will be able to walk away at the end of this process satisfied."
Under the new law, more families would be eligible for sound proofing. The law becomes effective January 1, 2016.

Just like some yellow buses in Central, after a period of quiet, publicly reported cases dealing with applications by overseas counsel for ad hoc admission in Hong Kong sometimes come along in "threes". In this instance, three recent unsuccessful applications: re David Perry QC [2016] HKEC 2323, re Tim Owen QC [2016] HKEC 2272 and re Jonathan Caplan QC [2016] HKEC 1704.
As is customary, all three applications were heard by a Judge of Appeal sitting at first instance.
In re Perry QC, the application for ad hoc admission was a renewed one; the applicant (no stranger to Hong Kong) having failed to obtain permission to appear on behalf of two appellants in a magistracy appeal before a judge of first instance (Industry Insights, May 2016 – "Admission of Overseas Counsel and Adverse Costs Orders"). This time around the applicant applied to represent the appellants on an application to the Appeal Committee of the CFA for permission to appeal*. In short, the application failed because (without prejudging the application for permission to appeal) the court considered that it was made with reference to issues that did not arise out of the magistracy appeal or that did not contribute substantially to local jurisprudence or were not unusually difficult or complex.
In re Owen QC (again, no stranger to Hong Kong eg, HKSAR v Jutting), the applicant applied to represent a defendant on an application to the Appeal Committee of the CFA for permission to appeal (the Court of Appeal having quashed the defendant's conviction and ordered a retrial). The application failed because the court was not satisfied that the application was with respect to an appeal in which the issues raised were either novel or unusually difficult or complex**.
As in re Caplan QC, there is nothing to stop an applicant applying for ad hoc admission to appear in the lower courts (in this case, complex criminal proceedings in the District Court) on the basis that the proceedings are headed for the CFA; however, this (of itself) does not mean that the application will be granted. In any event, matters were somewhat overtaken by the CFA's recent judgment in HKSAR v Yang Sigai (Industry Insights, November 2016 – "Dealing Offence: Overseas Conduct").
Like it or not, some takeaway points (for now) include the following.
- While the Hong Kong Bar Association does not object to some applications for ad hoc admission (which can proceed by way of consent, subject to approval by the court) it would appear that contested applications are not getting any easier.
- When applications for ad hoc admission are contested, there appears to be a trend towards more vociferous opposition from the Bar Association, including on occasion seeking adverse costs orders. In fairness, it is understood that those counsel instructed to oppose applications on behalf of the Bar Association do so on a pro bono basis.
- The fact that the applicant may be the "best" (whatever that may mean) is not relevant and (in this context) a litigant does not have an unfettered right to instruct an advocate of his or her choice.
- The role that the "CFA factor" plays on applications for ad hoc admission appears to evolve and to mean different things in different contexts (and to different judges). This may aid the court's overall discretion (to do what is in the "public interest") but arguably is at the expense of clarity for those advising whether an application should be made.
* At the time of writing, the Appeal Committee was due to hear the application for permission to appeal on 9 November 2016.
** At the time of writing, the Appeal Committee was due to hear the application for permission to appeal on 8 November 2016.

Masochists who responded to an advert by an Austrian woman seeking "submissive, well-to-do" men found themselves forced to do farm chores such as stacking wood in the nude or cutting the grass while wearing fetish masks.
Instead of the punishment they were expecting, the men were put to work as labourers around their mistress's farm in north-eastern Austria, near the town of St. Pölten.
An Austrian police spokesman told The Daily Telegraph that the bizarre case, which happened last year, involved "two or three men." The fake dominatrix was a 35-year-old mother of two, the spokesman said.
One of the men even financed the construction of a roof extension and a new heating system, according to the Austrian newspaper Heute, which first reported the case.
The woman decided to advertise herself as a dominatrix on internet forums because she was short of money, Heute reported.
A police spokesman told Spiegel Online that the men went about their tasks in the clothes that "one wears in such circles, leather and plastic clothes and masks."
The scam ended when one of the men accused the farmer of deception and alerted the police. A charge of "illegal prostitution" was filed against the woman.

Key Features:
- 4.3in display with 540 x 960 resolution, 256 pixels per inch (ppi)
- 16-megapixel autofocus camera with Xenon flash and 10x optical zoom
- Dual-core 1.5GHz processor with 1.5GB RAM
- Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean with Samsung TouchWiz
- Price: £442.80 SIM-free from Clove.com
It's easy to forget how mediocre smartphone cameras are. We may rave about ultrapixel this and image stabilisation that, but all it takes is for a friend to upload photos taken with a proper digital SLR camera to Facebook and everything else looks a bit rubbish.
Smartphone camera photos have come on leaps and bounds from their grainy origins just a decade ago, but permanently replacing a proper camera with a phone camera hasn't been an option for the majority - now though, Samsung plans to change all that with the Galaxy S4 Zoom, which packs a large, 16-megapixel sensor and 10x optical zoom.
Look and Feel
Viewed from straight ahead, the Galaxy S4 Zoom is exactly the same as the S4 Mini, which means a 4.3in AMOLED screen with a resolution of 540 x 960 and a pixel density of 256 pixels per inch.
There's the familiar Samsung home button flanked by touch buttons for Back and Menu, a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera, and a piece of metal-looking plastic trim wrapped around the entire outer edge of the device.
But turn the Zoom around and the reason for its name becomes clear, as there is a 10x optical zoom lens on the back, complete with Xenon flash and a bulge to make it easier to hold when taking photos.
Samsung measures the phone at 15.4mm thick, double the size of an iPhone 5 and this doesn't include the lens or that hold grip, both of which add another 10mm. In terms of size (and its 208g weight), the S4 Zoom is definitely more camera than phone.
The weight isn't a huge concern, but the extra thickness of the lens makes the phone difficult to slip into your pocket, and holding the device in a portrait position to type with your thumbs is a strange, uncomfortable experience as there's nowhere to rest your fingers.
There's a power button, volume rocker and dedicated two-stage shutter button on the right edge, a microSD card slot (up to 64GB) and a covered tripod mount on the left, a headphone jack at the top and a large door which runs the full length of the bottom of the phone, concealing a micro SIM slot, battery and microUSB port.
Operating System and Performance
Running Android 4.2.2 with Samsung's TouchWiz user interface smothered over it, the Galaxy S4 Zoom's software is identical to that of the regular Galaxy S4.
There are annoying beeps and bloops until you find out how to turn them off, a bizarre set of ringtones, and a huge suite of Samsung's S apps, from S Memo and S Planner, to S Translator and S Voice.
For some users this is a load of bloatware which you'll never touch, while for others these apps could be invaluable; personally I feel Samsung is guilty of giving its products too many gimmicks which look great in the shop, but will never be used.
Away from my personal gripes, the operating system is fast and smooth. I only occasionally saw it stutter when opening and closing the camera app, and switching from camera to gallery - slightly frustrating given this is the device's major feature, but not a deal-breaker.
I was disappointed to see just 8GB of internal storage, with around 5.5GB available to the user. This is a shame considering the likelihood of Zoom owners taking more photos than your regular smartphone user. Thankfully this can be topped up by 64GB with a microSD card.
At 2,330mAh, the Zoom's battery is larger than the S4 Mini's but really struggled to get me through the working day, and this didn't include much use of the camera. If used constantly as a camera I can't see the Zoom lasting much past midday.
Of course the main reason to buy a Galaxy S4 Zoom is its camera, but is the significant increase in size and weight over all other smartphones worth the ability to leave your point-and-shoot at home?
At 16 megapixels, the camera's resolution is barely any higher than the 13 megapixels offered by the regular Galaxy S4, but where the S4 has to make do with digital zooming (which almost always looks terrible, 41-megapixel Nokias aside), the Zoom gets proper optical magnification.
This allows you to take photos never before possible with a smartphone and makes all the difference when you're at a sports event or concert and the subject is impossible to capture with a normal smartphone.
When taking photos at a regular distance, however, the Zoom doesn't fare much better than regular smartphones.
As with the standard Galaxy S4, the Zoom comes packed with clever camera features which can remove unwanted objects from photos, create 'action shots' and take photos where falling water or car headlights are blurred. In all there are 25 shooting modes to choose from, but if that isn't enough there are manual options to adjust shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance and metering.
Finally, the zoom works while shooting 1080p HD video and you can take photos at the same time.
Measuring 4.3in, the Zoom's display is exactly the same as that found on the S4 Mini. Being an AMOLED unit, colours pop and stand out more than on some other smartphones; this looks good in the shop before you buy it, but starts to look quite artificial once you've spent a few days with it - a trait shared by most other Samsung phones from the past year or so.
At 540 x 960, the phone's resolution isn't much to write home about, but on closer inspection I was pleasantly surprised by the screen's sharpness and clarity; this display is better than its resolution would have you believe.
If you're a student who takes photos whenever you're out with friends and Instagrams, then the Galaxy S4 Zoom could be for you; it's the going out camera that will always be with you.
But for everyone else, I'm struggling to say why you should part with more than £400 for this phone. It's a good phone on the front and a good camera on the back, but combining the two produces a device worth less than the sum of its parts.
- Screen: 8/10
- Design: 6/10
- Camera: 9/10
- Operating System: 8/10
- Build Quality: 8/10
- Overall: 7/10
The Good:
- Excellent camera with better zoom than any other phone
- Bright and colourful display
- Manual camera controls and tripod mount
The Bad:
- Very bulky, difficult to pocket
- Poor battery life
- Not worth the sum of its parts
