The red telephone box, a telephone kiosk for a public telephone designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, was a familiar sight on the streets of the United Kingdom, Malta, Bermuda and Gibraltar.
Despite a reduction in their numbers in recent years, the traditional British red telephone kiosk can still be seen in many places throughout the UK, and in current or former British colonies around the world. The colour red was chosen to make them easy to spot.
From 1926 onwards, the fascias of the kiosks were emblazoned with a prominent crown, representing the British government. The red phone box is often seen as a British cultural icon throughout the world.[1] Although production of the traditional boxes ended with the advent of the KX series in 1985, many still stand in Britain.
The paint colour used is known as "currant red" and is defined by a British Standard, BS 381C-539.[2]
The first standard public telephone kiosk introduced by the United Kingdom Post Office was produced in concrete in 1920 and was designated K1 (Kiosk No.1). This design was not of the same family as the familiar red telephone boxes. Very few high-quality examples remain. One example is located in Trinity Market in Kingston-upon-Hull where it is still in use.
The red telephone box was the result of a competition in 1924 to design a kiosk that would be acceptable to the London Metropolitan Boroughs which had hitherto resisted the Post Office's effort to erect K1 kiosks on their streets.
The The Birmingham Civic Society then produced a design of its own—in reinforced concrete—but it was informed by the Director of Telephones that the design produced by the Office of the Engineer-in-Chief was preferred; as the Architects' Journal commented, 'no one with any knowledge of design could feel anything but indignation with the pattern that seems to satisfy the official mind.' The Birmingham Civic Society did not give up and, with additional pressure from the Royal Institute of British Architects, the Town Planning Institute and the Royal Academy, the Postmaster General was forced to think again; and the result was that the RFAC organised a limited competition.
The organisers invited entries from three respected architects and, along with the designs from the Post Office and from The Birmingham Civic Society, the Fine Arts Commission judged the competition and selected the design submitted by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott.[3] The invitation had come at the time when Scott had been made a trustee of Sir John Soane's Museum: his design for the competition was in the classical style, but topped with a dome reminiscent of Soane's self-designed mausoleums in St Pancras' Old Churchyard and Dulwich Picture Gallery, London. The original wooden prototypes of the entries were later put into public service at under-cover sites around London. That of Scott's design is the only one known to survive and is still where it was originally placed, in the left entrance arch to the Royal Academy.
The Post Office chose to make Scott's winning design in cast iron (Scott had suggested mild steel) and to paint it red (Scott had suggested silver, with a "greeny-blue" interior) and, with other minor changes of detail, it was brought into service as the Kiosk No.2 or K2. From 1926 K2 was deployed in and around London and the K1 continued to be erected elsewhere.
K3, introduced in 1929, again by Giles Gilbert Scott, was similar to K2 but was constructed from concrete and intended for nationwide use. Cheaper than the K2, it was still significantly more costly than the K1 and so that remained the choice for low-revenue sites. The standard colour scheme for both the K1 and the K3 was cream, with red glazing bars. A rare surviving K3 kiosk can be seen beside the Penguin Beach exhibit at ZSL London Zoo, where it has been protected from the weather by the projecting eaves and recently restored to its original colour scheme.
K4 (designed by the Post Office Engineering Department in 1927) incorporated a post box and machines for buying postage stamps on the exterior. The design was not a success: the noise of the stamp-machines in operation disturbed phone-users, and the rolls of stamps in the machines became damp and stuck together in wet weather.[4] Only 50 K4 kiosks were built.
K5 was a plywood construction introduced in 1934 and designed to be assembled and dismantled and used at exhibitions.
In 1935 the K6 (kiosk number six) was designed to commemorate the [5] The K6 was the first red telephone kiosk to be extensively used outside London, and many thousands were deployed in virtually every town and city, replacing most of the existing kiosks and establishing thousands of new sites. In 1935 there had been 19,000 public telephones in the UK: by 1940, thanks to the K6, there were 35,000.[6]
The design was again by Scott, and was essentially a smaller and more streamlined version of the K2, intended to be produced at a considerably cheaper cost, and to occupy less pavement space. The principal differences between the two designs were:
The K6 has since become a British icon, but it was not universally loved at the start. The red colour caused particular local difficulties and there were many requests for less visible colours. The Post Office was forced into allowing a less strident grey with red glazing bars scheme for areas of natural and architectural beauty. Ironically, some of these areas that have preserved their telephone boxes have now painted them red.
With continued demand for K6 kiosks, siting them was more widespread than ever before. A purpose built kiosk trailer was designed from 1953 to reduce the running costs of cranes.[8]
The K6 was the most prolific kiosk in the UK and its growth, from 1935, can be seen from the BT archives:
Phoneboxes K2 to K6 were produced at the Lion Foundry in Kirkintilloch until 1984. The K6 was also produced at the Carron Ironworks near Falkirk in the 1960s.
From 1926 onwards, the fascias of Post Office kiosks were emblazoned with a prominent crown, representing the British government (of which the Post Office was an agency). The design was initially the "Tudor Crown", then in widespread use in government service. The same crown was used in all parts of the United Kingdom and British Empire. On the K2, the design was pierced through the ironwork, and acted as a ventilation hole. On the K6, a separate ventilation slot was provided, and the crown was embossed in bas-relief.
In 1953 the new Queen, Elizabeth II, decided to replace the Tudor Crown in all contexts with a representation of the actual crown generally used for British coronations, the St Edward's Crown. This new symbol therefore began to appear on the fascias of K6 kiosks.
St Edward's Crown was initially used on kiosks in all parts of the United Kingdom. However, from 1955, in Scotland, the Post Office opted to use a representation of the actual Crown of Scotland, in line with a wider policy for government agencies in Scotland. To accommodate the two different designs of crown on K6 kiosks, the fascia sections were henceforth cast with a slot in them, into which a plate bearing the appropriate crown was inserted before the roof section was fitted. Given this change came about largely as a result of local unrest over the nationwide use of an EIIR motif (which at times became violent) it is therefore something of an irony that many recent 'heritage' installations of K6s are of the post-1955 non-Scottish form. There are several examples of this on and near Edinburgh's Royal Mile.
The crowns were originally painted the same red as the rest of the box. However, since the early 1990s, when the heritage value of red kiosks began to be widely recognised, British Telecom has picked out the crowns (on both K2s and K6s) in gold paint.
Kiosks installed in Kingston upon Hull were not fitted with a crown, as those kiosks were installed by the Hull Corporation (later Hull City Council, then Kingston Communications). All boxes in Hull were also painted in cream.
In 1959 architect Neville Conder was commissioned to design a new box. The K7 design went no further than the prototype stage. K8 was introduced in 1968 designed by Bruce Martin. It was used primarily for new sites; around 11000 were installed, replacing earlier models only when they needed relocating or had been damaged beyond repair. The K8 retained a red colour scheme, but it was a different shade of red: a slightly brighter "Poppy Red", which went on to be the standard colour across all kiosks.
The K8 featured a single large glass panel on two sides and the door. While improving visibility and illumination inside the box, these were vulnerable to damage. There were two versions - the Mk1 and the Mk2 - with the most visible difference being in the detail of the roof and the surround of the 'TELEPHONE' opals. Only 12 remain — most having been replaced with the KX100 — making the K8 as rare as the K3.
With regards to create a new box with easier access, lower maintenance and brighter lighting, the Post Office introduced a prototype run of "Croydon" telephone boxes from 1972, named as such because they were erected in Croydon, Surrey.[9] The Croydon boxes, which featured a black handset silhouette with bright yellow paintwork, were erected as an experimental prototype to replace the red telephone boxes. However, whilst the trials were successful, the quality of the materials and design made it too expensive for the Post Office to mass-produce and the design was not adopted.[10]
In either the late 1970s or late 1980s, a new, smaller hooded booth was introduced known as Booth 7A.[11] These yellow booths were introduced into areas where previous red telephone boxes had been vandalised or even pulled out the ground. They became known as "Oakham" boxes - a reference to the similarity in shape with an Oak Ham tin.
In 1980, in preparation for privatisation, Post Office Telephones was rebranded as British Telecom (BT). In February 1981, it was announced that all the red telephone boxes would be repainted yellow, which was BT's new corporate colour. There was an immediate public outcry; the Daily Mail launched a campaign "against the yellow peril"[12] and questions were asked in Parliament. In the House of Lords, the Earl of Gowrie, the Minister of State for Employment, called on BT "to abandon this ridiculous scheme".[13] In the House of Commons, Mark Lennox-Boyd MP asked the Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, if she would treat the decision "with the greatest possible dismay". Mrs Thatcher, who was responsible for the privatisation, would only say that she could "see my honourable Friend's point".[14] Shortly afterwards, BT announced that only 90 of the 77,000 remaining traditional boxes had been painted different colours "as an experiment" and that no final decision had been reached.[12]
After privatisation in 1982, British Telecom introduced the KX100, a more utilitarian design, which began to replace most of the existing boxes. The KX100 was one of a series of designs, including the wheelchair-accessible open-sided KX200, and the triangular-footprint KX300.[15] In January 1985, Nick Kane, the Director of Marketing for BT Local Communications Services announced that the old red telephone boxes would be replaced because they "...no longer meet the needs of our customers. Few people like to use them. They are expensive and difficult to clean and maintain and cannot be used by handicapped people".[16] This time, BT did not relent, despite another vociferous campaign. Many local authorities used legislation designed to protect buildings of architectural or historic importance to keep old telephone boxes in prominent locations and around 2,000 of them were given listed status. Several thousand others were left on low-revenue mostly rural sites but many thousands of recovered K2 and K6 boxes were sold off. Some kiosks have been converted to be used as shower cubicles in private homes. In Kingston upon Thames a number of old K6 boxes have been used to form a work of art resembling a row of fallen dominoes.[17] It is estimated that 11,000 traditional red telephone boxes remain in public service.[18] The KX+, better known as the KX100 PLUS, introduced in 1996 featured a domed roof reminiscent of the familiar K2 and K6. Subsequent designs have departed significantly from the old style red boxes. BT followed the KX series with the Multi.phone in 1999 and the ST6 in 2007.
Little-used red telephone boxes can be adopted[19] by parish councils in England for other uses. Some examples are shown below. The kiosk may be used for any legal purpose other than telephony and the contract of sale[20] includes the following clause 5.5.4:
The buyer shall covenant not to sell, lease or license the Goods to a competitor to the Seller nor to permit a competitor to install electronic communications apparatus (as defined in schedule 2 of the Telecommunications Act 1984) within the Goods or itself (as the Buyer) shall not install, provide or operate any form of electronic communications apparatus (as defined in schedule 2 of the Telecommunications Act 1984) within the Goods.
It is unclear why BT wishes to prohibit the kiosk from being re-used for electronic communications and why the regulator, Ofcom, has allowed it. In the US, there is an active movement seeking new telecom uses for little-used telephone booths, e.g. as wi-fi hotspots.[21]
During 2009 a K6 in the village of Westbury-sub-Mendip in Somerset was converted into a library or book exchange replacing the services of the mobile library which no longer visits the village.[22][23][24] Similar libraries now exist in the villages of North Cadbury in Somerset, Great Budworth in Cheshire,[25] Little Shelford and Upwood in Cambridgeshire,[26] and some 150 other locations.[27]
Also in 2009, the town of Settle in North Yorkshire established the Gallery on the Green in a K6, which had been adopted by the Parish Council. The Gallery has featured a range of exhibitions (see the online gallery on the website) of both notable artists and photographers (Tessa Bunney, Martin Parr, Mariana Cook) and local community groups. Its most famous contributor was Brian May, with his stereoscopic photography show 'A Village Lost and Found'.
In 2010, in the village of Brookwood, Surrey, a project was initiated to restore and preserve the sole remaining K6 kiosk in the village. The kiosk had been adopted by Woking Borough Council in 2009 and a group of residents set about restoring the kiosk. This was achieved through private donations and sponsorship from local businesses.[28] A blog detailed the restoration.[29]
Following a competition by a Girl Guide unit in 2011 to find a use for their local disused telephone box in Glendaruel, Argyll, it has been fitted with a defibrillator. The equipment can only be accessed by following instructions from the Scottish Ambulance Service during an emergency call. The conversion of the box was paid for by BT under the Adopt A Kiosk scheme and the defibrillator was supplied by the Community Heartbeat Trust. It is one of five similar telephone box conversions in the United Kingdom.[30]
As of 2012, remanufactured units were offered for sale by X2Connect.[31][32][33]
From October 2014, several of London's disused K6 telephone boxes have been painted green and converted to free mobile phone chargers named Solarboxes.[34] They have been considered an outdoor kiosk alternative to indoor chargers such as the Chargebox.
Several of these distinctive telephone boxes have been installed on the Norman, Oklahoma, campus of the University of Oklahoma, where they continue to serve their originally intended function. Elsewhere in the United States, a few have also been installed in downtown Glenview, Illinois. There is also one outside the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. A red telephone box can also be found on the Courthouse Square in Oxford, Mississippi. There are two in use in Tennessee. One is located on the square in Collierville, Tennessee, and the other is located next to Pepper Palace in The Village Shops shopping center in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.[35] In Massachusetts, there is also a red telephone box in the student centre of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In addition, there is a red telephone box outside the town building (town hall/police station/post office) in the tiny mountain town of Rowe, Massachusetts, which is an original installation dating back to when the town of Rowe first got telephone service. Two red telephone boxes are on display at the World Showcase area of Disney's Epcot in Orlando, Florida, one located in the United Kingdom area and one in the Canada area. One is on display at English Gardens a Place for Weddings in Winter Park close to downtown Orlando.An original K6 can also be found outside of the Allied Building in Treasure Island, Florida. There are also a few red boxes at the Ellenton Outlet Mall, just off I-75, near Bradenton, Florida. These still have their original STD code cards in place and have working US payphone equipment. There is a red telephone box in Westminster Maryland on the corner of West Main Street and Rt. 27 out side of Johanson's Dining House.[36]
In Lake Havasu City, Arizona, a few K6s arrived when the old London Bridge was preserved there. As they are in the US, and not under British restriction, they are fully functional, but with updated electronics to make them code compliant.
British K6 phone boxes are to be found, painted green, in the centre of Kinsale, an old historic town in County Cork within the Republic of Ireland.
Red telephone boxes are also found across Malta, Gozo, parts of the Caribbean such as Antigua, Barbados, as well as in Cyprus, showing that the colonial influence is still present. Some of those telephone booths are being used as internet kiosks. A box can also be found in the centre of the town of Chinon, France [37] and another in the German town of Bad Münstereifel.
Australia and New Zealand each had their own design of red telephone box, and some examples have been preserved in sensitive or historic sites. A brief and colourful campaign was run to "save" the red telephone box in New Zealand by the Wizard of New Zealand.[38]
In 2008 ten K6 telephone boxes were imported from the United Kingdom to the Israeli city of Petah Tikva and installed on its main street, Haim Ozer.[39]
Kingston upon Hull was the only area of the UK not under the Post Office monopoly, with telephones being under the control of the Corporation of Hull (city council). In Hull and the surrounding area this meant that the telephone boxes were painted cream and had the crown omitted. The Hull telephone system was subsequently privatised and is now operated by Kingston Communications. Kingston Communications (KC) have removed many of the famous cream K6 boxes circa 2007. An outraged public complained that they were losing part of their heritage. KC have retained approx 125 K6s in use today. KC allocated limited numbers (approximately 1,000) to be sold to the general public, and many were sold off before they had even been removed from service.
The telephone services of the Crown dependencies were split at various times from the GPO.
Guernsey Telecoms painted its kiosks yellow with white window frames; they were repainted in blue when the company was sold to Cable and Wireless in 2002.
Jersey Telecom used locally made kiosks, painted in cream and yellow.
Gibtelecom operate Red Kiosks of various vintages.
Manx Telecom has left its kiosks in the red colour used by its predecessors British Telecom and the GPO. A green telephone box exists in Cregneash, as was the practice in many rural areas of Britain.
Outside of the former British Empire, red phone boxes can be seen in Portugal – for example, they are a common sight in the city of Porto.[40]
Scottish sculptor David Mach created the permanent public work Out of Order in 1989 in Kingston upon Thames, London. It takes the form of a row of twelve K6 telephone boxes, the first one upright, the others gradually falling over like dominoes. It was originally intended that the first upright box was to contain a working telephone.
In 2012, BT helped celebrate the 25th anniversary of the free-phone charity ChildLine by commissioning eighty artists to design and decorate full-sized K6 replicas. These were displayed in public spaces across London and then auctioned by Sotheby's as BT Artboxes. Artists included Peter Blake, Willie Christie, David Mach, Denis Masi, Zaha Hadid and Ian Ritchie.
Lightweight replica K6 telephone kiosks are manufactured as flat-packs by commercial vendors and are shipped around the world for installation in such places as bars, restaurants and offices.

On September 26, 2006, NY ICE protested in front of the racist organization called the National Council of La Raza (aka La Raza). La Raza is a Hispanic supremacist, racist organization. NY ICE maintains that there is no such a thing as "reverse racism" (and, indeed, "Hispanic" is an ETHNICITY, not a race); racists are racists. And, though racists may be of Hispanic descent, that does NOT immunize them from being called what they are: racists.
Below are Photos of some NY ICers in front of the Manhattan office of La Raza. Please note that the NY ICE woman in the forefront in the 2nd Photo, protesting against La Raza, is herself of Hispanic descent. NOT all people of Hispanic ancestry think the same way:
And, please read our Press Release for our Rally Against La Raza:
For Immediate Release
September 26, 2006 at 5pm
New Yorkers for Immigration Control and Enforcement (NY ICE) will protest in front of the National Council of La Raza, (aka La Raza) at 281 Park Avenue South (at 22nd Street) as part of NY ICE's agenda to expose illegal alien supporters.
NY ICE kicks off fall with a proactive protest in front of La Raza. In doing so, NY ICE brings the fight to secure our borders to the doorstep of the near-infamous illegal alien supporter, La Raza, whose website features step-by-step instructions on how illegal aliens can evade immigration authorities.
Big businesses support La Raza. The following is just a list of a few of the businesses that are multi-million dollar backers of La Raza: Citigroup, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Corporation, and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
To preempt the accusation of "racism" that NY ICE has been forced to endure by counter protestors in previous rallies, NY ICE officially denounces racism. NY ICE's President is herself Hispanic and the granddaughter of legal immigrants. We believe that since the realities of the detrimental effects of illegal mass migration are indisputable, our opposition resorts to juvenile name-calling.
NY ICE believes that there are no jobs Americans won't do--there are only wages that Americans will NOT work for. We are open to all Americans and legal immigrants who believe in enforcement-ONLY immigration legislation. We represent the diversity and rich culture of the tri-state area, and welcome Americans and legal immigrants of all races, religions, and political affiliations who are united in our common struggle to protect our borders through enforcement-ONLY legislation. Bush's spin-ographers want the people to believe in the false dichotomy of either mass deportation or legalizing mass importation. We believe that attrition, whereby the rewards of illegal aliens are systematically taken away through enforcement of immigration laws like employer sanctions, would solve the problem.

2011 left me with a few wounds and a lot of life lessons; 2012 welcomed me with an idea that I want to carry out for the rest of the year, maybe even more if it goes well. I was born on the seventh month of the year (yes, like the Boy Who Was Responsible For My Myopia); seven is my favorite number; and this number comes up again and again in my life. I'm not Beyonce, but I can tell if the universe is trying to tell me something, even if the number itself doesn't mean anything on its own.
So here I am, waiting for what kind of ADD/ADHD learning disability I have and planning for the next fortnight before my last semester here in the US, scratching my week-old, newly shaved head thinking about how to concretize this wonderful idea of mine. So I erased all my previous social media accounts and created new ones, the ones from where my legacy will begin (sometimes even I don't believe I'm just 19), and created seven new ones: Google+, YouTube, WordPress, Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo! and Apple (soon!). The old ones were like the biblical wine bags for me–their histories make me feel safe and safe is not the best platform for creativity.
This blog will be about seven life aspects that I will nurture every single day (in no particular order):
- Faith
- Family
- Friends/Others
- School
- New things
- World/Events
- Surprise/Unknown
In fifteen out of nineteen years, school was the only thing that mattered for me; level = Asian. Now that I am being diagnosed of a learning disability I actually felt as if everything has been taken away from me, and I started to realize how unbalanced my life was. I wasn't a good daughter but my family accepted me and loved me and bugged me on my mobile phone and Skype; I had no friends and I had to ask my dorm's guard to take my Halloween costume picture for me, a relative by marriage was the only one who sent me a card through the loneliest mailbox ever (picture later). I had nothing else; I left all my other dreams for something that I actually did wrong from the very beginning. (Sorry, residues of resentment; but it's all better now trust me.)
Now I have absolutely nothing. But I realized that while I'm still breathing I can't lose everything at once, because THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING I CAN GIVE. In my brokenness I didn't see myself, but I found a way to first forgive and make peace with my past, and more importantly to help other people through telling my story. Because I finally have a story to tell.
I will be honest and tell you that I am not in my best shape. I have acne all over (from oversleeping and chocolates; define depression), I don't have hair anymore, I suddenly disliked all the people from my past (including my family a little bit, but as I said I am making peace…slowly…); but I gotta start somewhere. And honestly I'll never be perfect. Or ready. So might as well carry on with it.
I don't have the right to ask anyone to read or follow this blog, but if you get something from this I would like to ask you to let me know. Otherwise I'll get bored soon and this idea will be another one of those hanging in midair somewhere we don't know. Email me. Thanks. Happy new year, and may life be kind to you.

Tornadoes might be the last thing you'd expect in February, March or April in Florida.
Yet, historically, Florida's strongest and therefore dangerous tornadoes occur during these months.
In the past 20 years, Florida had more reported tornadoes and unfortunately more tornado-related deaths than Oklahoma, Nebraska or Iowa. Officially, Florida ranks third nationally in tornado reports (trailing only Texas and Kansas) and fourth in tornado deaths since 1990.
A Tornado Watch means that you should closely monitor the weather and be prepared to go to a safe place in the event of a tornado warning. A Watch is a 'heads-up'. It means pay attention. Make sure you know where to go for shelter if you need to make a rapid decision. Be sure you have a way to be alerted or awakened if a warning is issued.
A Tornado Warning means that a tornado has been sighted or has been picked up on radar in your area. A Warning means take cover now! The threat is ongoing or is forecast to strike soon! Get in, and get down! This means that you need to take shelter immediately in a safe sturdy structure. At Daytona State College Campus Safety, we refer to this as Shelter In Place – In the event that it is necessary, due to a tornado or other dangerous weather, to shelter in place, observe these guidelines, known by the acronym DUCK.
More information about tornado hazards and what you can do to protect yourself and others can be found at http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/edu/safety/tornadoguide.html or athttp://www.floridadisaster.org/kids/index2.htm

Kim Scipes, Purdue Northwest associate professor of sociology, spent eight weeks during summer 2017 teaching at Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU) in Ho Chi Min City, Vietnam, and experiencing the Vietnamese culture.
Referred by a friend who taught in the Labor Studies Program at TDTU, Scipes was introduced to the university's chair of the Sociology Department, Le Thi Mai. This led to Scipes' invitation to Vietnam as the first keynote speaker at the TDTU conference on Education and Social Integration in 2016.
This year Scipes was invited to return as a guest instructor where he taught qualitative research methods, based on sophisticated interviewing skills and techniques, to more than 70 Vietnamese students.
Teaching in Vietnam
Founded in 1997, Ton Duc Thang University is located in the highly populated Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. It is the only university in Vietnam that requires students to take an examination in English as a graduation requirement, Scipes noted.
The best part of the trip was teaching the students, Scipes said. "They were very eager to learn, and worked extremely hard. Since I taught in English—there was no translation—they were working in a second language, and we were in class five hours a day, twice a week.
"This was a very successful trip. Over 80 percent of the class earned a grade of 80 or higher on their course examinations," Scipes added. "They also had to interview an educator, recent graduate or senior student for 30 to 45 minutes on how we could improve education at TDTU and then write up their findings in a three-page research report in English—and almost half of them got a grade of 80 or higher on this assignment.
"The people were very warm, and delighted I'd come to teach their students. Faculty, staff and the students worked hard to make me feel welcome," Scipes said.
He already has been invited to return and teach in summer 2018.
Experiencing the culture
The trip was highlighted by a visit to the Citadel of Literature in Ha Noi, Vietnam's first national university founded in 1070. "It was a humbling experience to stand in a space occupied by educators almost a thousand years ago," Scipes remarked.
After Ha Noi, Scipes visited Chiang Mai and Bangkok in Thailand, and Phnom Penh in Cambodia. He then traveled from Phnom Penh across the Mekong Delta back to Ho Chi Minh City before returning to the United States.

Money matters
Financial support from LionHeart
Financial worries affect most of us at some point in our lives. A sudden change in circumstances, especially if it's unexpected, can have a real negative impact on our finances and leave us struggling to make ends meet.
Trying to reduce the effect that having less cash has on you and your family can be really tough to do on your own. It can also be hard to seek help when it feels as though you should be able to manage the mounting debt. You are not alone.
The people we help are just like you - they have the same worries, the same everyday issues and problems and the same hopes for the future. The difference is that when something unpredictable happened to them, they turned to LionHeart for help.
The best way to avoid getting into financial difficulty is to plan for the future as much as possible, which is why we have teamed up with leading financial planning consultancy Jelf Money At Work to offer a series of Early Career Financial Education Workshops. Aimed at those just starting their careers, the workshops cover key aspects of managing money and planning for the future. Find out more and book your place.
Of course, there are some situations you simply cannot plan for. Some of the people we help have lost their jobs and are struggling to get back into work while others may be facing ill-health or stress, which is affecting their ability to afford living costs.
If you are struggling financially, we can offer:
LionHeart Grants
Our grants are available if you meet certain criteria. For example, if you have less money coming in than going out each month during a time of difficult financial circumstances brought about unexpected events such as ill-health or redundancy.

|Soundboard DVD
Share |
The complete run of Soundboard back issues from Vol. 1 (1974) through Vol. 38 (2012) on one searchable DVD-ROM. Every issue is a searchable PDF file which can be viewed on all computers. You can print any page or pages, including the hundreds of pieces of guitar music published in Soundboard over the years. Text passages can also be selected, copied, and pasted to a word processing program. The color covers have been preserved with color scans, and the many photographs are preserved quite nicely as greyscale scans. System requirements: DVD-ROM reader to transfer the files to your hard drive; 3.3GB of free space. PDFs are viewable equally well on Mac or PC platforms.
Payment is via PayPal and is $89, $69 for GFA Members.
Note: In 2012, all the issues of Soundboard through Vol. 36 (1974-2010) were scanned to searchable PDFs from hard copy. Starting with Vol. 37 (2011- ), the PDFs are being generated directly from the printer's files. So as of 2011 no more scanning-to-searchable-PDF has taken place; every word is searchable with near 100% retrieval accuracy using the free Adobe Reader program. But such searches can be relatively slow.
SoundboardIndex – a work in progress
GFA member and computer programmer Jan de Kloe has undertaken a large project to clean up the errors and omissions encountered in the optically-scanned PDFs of the first 36 volumes of Soundboard, and to speed up searching, too. Currently (July 2017) his database, known as SoundboardIndex, covers Vol. 1-37 (1974-2001). Jan intends to complete his indexing through Vol. 38 by August of 2017, at which point users should have reliable access to every page of the first 38-volumes of Soundboard, covering the seminal years 1974-2012. Those PDFs are already available as a package on the DVD Archive.
For the most current information about the SoundboardIndex project please visit the de Kloe website, www.dekloe.be, where the latest information is being posted and where orders for SoundboardIndex may be placed. Note that it runs exclusively on a Windows10 computer. It also requires that the user buy the digitized PDFs of Soundboard (the source files), as sold by the GFA. The easiest and most economical way to acquire the latter is by purchasing the Soundboard Digital Archive on DVD disc. The system works best when the source files are copied to a folder on your hard drive, where the latest version of SoundboardIndex has also been installed.

She's stepping out!
On Saturday, Khloe Kardashian made her first public appearance since multiple sources told E! News that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star is expecting her first child with the 26-year-old Cleveland Cavaliers player, whom she has been dating for more than a year.
The 33-year-old suited up for the 1-year anniversary of her Good American denim line at Nordstrom in Century City, California. Wearing her blonde tresses down, she rocked a black jacket with a Chanel belt, a pair of leather pants and Louboutin heels.
During the 30-minute event, Khloe did not address her pregnancy but she did talk about her curves and learning to embrace all that she is.
According to People, she said to the crowd at the event, "My weight fluctuates all the time and I love that at any size I feel comfortable. When I was bigger and wore bigger clothes I looked even bigger. I love embracing my curves no matter what size I am."

The Saddleback baseball team rallied for a 13-4 win against Mt. San Antonio College on Saturday at Doug Fritz Field. The Gauchos made third base look like a turnstile, scoring nine times in the eighth inning in forcing a final game on Sunday.
Saddleback fell behind early when Mt. San Antonio scored a trio of runs in the bottom half of the third inning after the Gauchos committed a costly error. Saddleback battled their way back into the game, chipping away with two runs in the fourth inning and another solo run in the fifth to tie the game.
The momentum changed midway through the contest when Saddleback coach Sommer McCartney was tossed from the game for chirping at the umpire. It sparked the Gaucho lineup and woke up the bats, providing additional enthusiasm in what was nearly a full house inside the stadium. It also woke up a Saddleback pitching staff that had surrendered 17 hits over the first 12 innings of the series.
On a day when there was a royal wedding going on in the United Kingdom, the main prince for Saddleback on Saturday was left-handed reliever Chase Spinning. The sophomore entered the game in the sixth inning in relief of Daniel Harris and pitched the rest of the way in improving to 3-0 on the season. Spinning limited the Mt. SAC to just two hits over the final four innings, striking out nine Mounties and giving the Gauchos some much-needed relief.
Mt. San Antonio carried a 4-3 lead into the eighth inning when Saddleback busted out the bats. The Gauchos were in the batter's box for nearly 45 minutes, sending 12 guys to the plate in turning a close game into a route. Saddleback had seven hits in the inning and two walks, with Riley Kasper capping the rally with a two-run triple to left field for a 12-4 lead.
Saddleback finished with 18 hits in the game, 10 of which came in the final three innings. Mike Jarvis and Connor Glenn had four hits and three RBI apiece while Kasper reached base four times. Mt. San Antonio added insult to injury by committing four errors in the game, making for a long afternoon as the game lasted three hours and 51 minutes. In total, Mt. San Antonio pitchers through 215 pitches in the game while Saddleback pitchers through 156.
Saddleback (33-13) and Mt. San Antonio (34-12) will play the final game of the series tomorrow at Doug Fritz Field, with the winner moving on to the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) State Tournament next weekend. Game time is scheduled for 12:00 pm with a large crowd expected.

One of the issues that comes up often concerns how literal to read the Bible. Often times our view of interpretation is defined by our attitude toward inspiration. Some liberals take the Bible as just various authors and editors' personal opinions on God and spirituality and so the Bible need not be taken literally. Some conservatives treat the Bible as if it just dropped out of heaven as the perfect book, thus making it our primary science and history textbook besides being our guide for faith.
I cringe when people ask me if I take the Bible literally. Are the census lists in Numbers and the descriptions of armies in the Old Testament to be taken literally? Was there a worldwide flood or just a local flood that affected the known world of the relatively small population of the earth at the time? Should we calculate the age of the earth by adding up the geneologies of the Bible? What does it mean when the Bible says that God stopped the movement of the sun? Did God really make the movement of the universe stop for that one battle? When the Bible says that all of Judea went to listen to John the Baptist, did that whole province show up at the Jordan? I have questions about these statements, some stronger than others.
But if I say that I do not take the Bible literally, I open myself up to serious problems of interpretation. Do I interpret the Bible as pure allegory as people like Tom Harpur have chosen? Do I jettison all historical value? Am I free to pick and choose what teachings of Jesus are true? Do I deny the miracles of Jesus as they are hard for us to understand? What do I do with the resurrection?
This is a serious issue for Christians. I believe that taking the Bible as pure allegory is dangerous (even Origen did not reject the historical basis of the Bible). But I believe a wooden literalism is also a mistake and that it has led to the abandonment of the faith by people like Bart Ehrman. My solution to this is to accept the Bible in the form that it was written. It is not a modern scientific book nor is it a modern history book and it should not be held to such standards. I believe that God accomadated his revelation to the context of that day with spiritual truth that is timeless. The Bible is historical, but it is history as it was written thousands of years ago and not today. There was a literal Moses, David, Jesus and so on, who did the things the Bible describes. But those records are given in the style of ancient history and are to be held to those standards. I affirm with all my being the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible. But I believe that the Bible calls us to use our minds in interpretation. Look at archaeology and other historical records. See where the differences are and ask questions. When are the authors using hyperbole to make a point? When are the authors using numbers as symbols? When are they rearranging historical events to emphasize a theme? I believe that we need to have a balanced way of interpreting the Bible, rejecting both pure allegory and wooden literalism for a contextual interpretation that respects the forms in which God revealed his Word to us.

Revolution sign 10-year MLB vet & York resident Mark Hendrickson
The York Revolution has announced the signing of pitcher Mark Hendrickson to the 2014 pre-season roster. The 39-year-old southpaw is a veteran of 328 Major League games, and 166 big league starts with the Blue Jays, Rays, Dodgers, Marlins and Orioles.
Despite his significant starting experience, Hendrickson will likely come out of the Revolution bullpen, with spot-starting duty a possibility. He last played in the Majors with Baltimore from 2009 to 2011. Hendrickson has been used by each of his organizations as a hybrid starter/reliever. Last season he re-upped with the Orioles, appearing out of Triple-A Norfolk's bullpen for 40 games.
Ian Thomas…coming to a seaboard near you
Atlanta is roughly 700 miles from York. But thanks to the timeless invention of road games, Ian Thomas will be traveling to a ballpark near you as the latest Revolution alum in the Major Leagues. Obviously we hope he is in the Majors all season and doesn't get sent down to Triple-A, making all of these potential dates road trip opportunities to see him play, or at least see him in uniform. Conveniently, Atlanta is in Washington the first weekend of the season, and in Philadelphia a week and a half later, as Thomas will hit each spot closest to York before the Revolution's season starts on April 24. Here are the games the Braves play this season at either Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburgh and New York. At minimum, bookmark them for TV watching:
at Washington, April 4-6
at Philadelphia, April 14-17
at New York, April 18-20
at Washington, June 19-23
at Philadelphia, June 27-29
at New York, July 7-10
at Pirates August, 18-20
at New York, August 26-28
at Washington, September 8-10
at Philadelphia, September 26-28

Lewis and Patterson return to Revs; club adds Triple-A vet Torres
The York Revolution have brought back left-handed reliever Rommie Lewis and infielder/outfielder Eric Patterson, while adding infielder/outfielder Tim Torres to the 2014 preseason roster. The latest batch of signings was officially announced today by manager Mark Mason, bringing York's preseason total to 22 players under contract with spring training workouts just over two weeks away. (more…)
Ian Thomas makes Braves Opening Day roster
The York Revolution is proud to announce that Ian Thomas, a member of the 2012 Revolution, has made the Atlanta Braves 25-man roster out of Spring Training. The sixth-year pro will make his Major League debut for Atlanta out of the bullpen. The news was confirmed by Diakon Baseball Group, Thomas's representation.
Thomas, 26, becomes the fifth former Revolution player to reach the Major Leagues, the fourth straight pitcher of that group, and will be the second former Rev to make his MLB debut (LHP Scott Rice, 2013 Mets).
Alumni spring training update
MLB Spring Training has reached its final week, and plenty of former Revs are still vying for roster spots, in either the Majors or Triple-A. A veteran player who played in York last season, who shall remain nameless, told me when he reported "the reputation is that if you want to get signed and get back to the big leagues, the place to go is either York or Long Island in the Atlantic League." THAT is not a statement to take lightly. The update:
Shawn Hill to Blue Jays two days after signing with York
While the York Revolution still retain his Atlantic League rights, and he and the organization have agreed to a contract, starting pitcher Shawn Hill has been signed by the Toronto Blue Jays for the third time in his career. The transaction comes just two days after he agreed to a contract with York on March 21.
Hopefully Hill will at least make Toronto's Triple-A club in Buffalo out of what's left of spring training, but if there isn't a spot for him when camp breaks, he very well could be back with the Revolution shortly. Turning 33 on April 28, Hill has shown no indication he is leaning toward retirement yet. Upon agreeing to a return to York, Hill had been throwing for MLB scouts, and as it turns out the Canadian's home-Provence organization was intrigued enough to take a flyer on him.
Revs ramp up the roster with four big signings
The York Revolution made a splash, announcing four key player signings today. Major League veteran right-hander Shawn Hill, dominant with the Revs in 2012, will return to the club along with big league veteran reliever Michael Wuertz, an Atlantic League All-Star last season. The club has also signed Atlantic League veteran infielders Travis Garcia and Brandon Chaves, increasing their preseason roster total to 20 players under contract with Opening Day just over one month away.

text: Seems a little early to be thinking about skiing again but Inghams is out to divert our attention from spring blossom, asparagus and Jersey Royals, test cricket and the impending white knuckle ride that is Andy Murray's progress at Wimbledon. The tour operator is offering adult lift passes at half price for customers booking a wide selection of next season's holidays between now and June 28. Inevitably, there's some small print: the offer is valid only to passengers on Inghams' charter flights and excludes some dates. But with passes in the Trois Vallees, for example, costing up to £208 for six days, the deal is certainly worth considering.

Kind of Cigar centered on Measurement
There are many methods for categorizing pipes: dimension, form, power, their nation of source, and also the means they're created (hand rolled vs. unit). The most typical method to classify a cigar is by measurement, that will be the cigaris duration in ins and band size (cigar dimension) calculated in 64ths of an inch. A title is really associated with each ring and duration size and these would be the cigar titles that you might know about. Corona, Panatela Toro Perfecto Lonsdale, Robusto, and also the biggest of them Large, all. Cigar's Large type is 9 inches long having a ring-size of 52!
Shades, Designs, and Hand Rolled

o there are lots of kinds of pipes. Test out tastes and new dimensions.
E maintain the smoking inside your mouth for that shortest period of time and Do Not inhale cigar smoking when smoking.
E if you don't purchase your pipes in simple branches which were saved in a humidor, age your pipes by putting them in a humidor for some weeks before smoking and burning down all presentation. Don't shop your pipes within the fridge since it may dry out them.
E Throw partly smoked pipes away –don't place a smelly cigar that is applied inside your humidor!
E to actually appreciate your cigar-smoking knowledge, choose the best beverage to opt for your luxury that is carefully selected. Try some powerful- drinks to improve one's cigar's taste, for example port-wine, scotch, and Kahlua products.
Gangsters in films should just do E Biting the end off reduced cigar. Do not take action. Work with a cigar cutter that is sharp. Get top quality cigars today.
E DoN't use document suits to light your cigar. Make use of a butane lighter. Wooden suits are okay but be sure you allow the sulfur melt away first.

Willian was a favorite under Jose Mourinho but hasn't had the same fortune under Antonio Conte at Chelsea.
Willian has become a fan favourite at Stamford Bridge, since his £30m move from Ukrainian Champions, Shakhtar Donetsk.
The speedy Brazilian has become renowned for consistent performances on the right-flank for the Blues, dazzling with great pace, vision, set piece prowess and outstanding balance, on a consistent basis.
It's a wonder then, why his playing time has begun dwindling for the West-London outfit this season, with ex-Barcelona ace, Pedro, often taking preference in the starting line-up.
The 29-year-old was a vital part of Jose Mourinho's plans, in his two title winning years with Chelsea - proceeding his return to England in 2013 - starting almost every match for the side.
Those days seem distant for Willian now, as current boss Conte, appears to deem the star surplus to requirements, in terms of regular starters in the team.
This campaign, the Brazilian has started as few as six Premier League games, making a further five appearances from the dugout and is beginning to display public shows of discontent on the pitch, with his current predicament.
A report from Le10 Sport claims that Chelsea are looking to replace the winger with international team-mate Lucas Moura and may offload Willian to the Chinese Super League in January, to fund a deal.
The 25-year-old occupies the same position as the Chelsea man and offers similar attributes for PSG, in terms of speed, trickery and quality delivery in the final third.
With Manager Unai Emery's outrageous acquisitions of Neymar and Mbappe last summer though, the forward is also finding minutes hard to come by, having already had Angel Di Maria to contend with, for a starting position last season.
However, despite very limited game time, Lucas' class has shone through when presented with the opportunity to play, having scored four times and recorded an assist in all competitions, capturing the attention of Conte, who has short-listed the ex-Sao Paulo man, for transfer in January.
It will be interesting to monitor Willian's situation and general attitude on Saturday, when Chelsea travel to West Brom, for the return of the Premier League.

Another incentive for students is that German universities don't charge any fees from them. Germany's envoy to Indian told a news agency in an interview said "In Germany you don't pay to study in the universities. The students only have to pay for their board and lodging. There are at present 6000 Indian students in Germany and the country is eager to attract more. he said.
Steiner said "Earlier, students who wanted to stay over could not, and this was a problem. This year, we have facilitated that students keen to stay over and work can do so". This would be done on the basis of specific permits. And, to give a fillip to Indo-German scientific and technological co-operation, Germany is setting up an institute in Delhi to facilitate the exchange of science and innovation. Steiner describes it as One of the defining pillars of our bilateral relations".
He further said "The ambassador does not foresee language to be a barrier for Indian students as German Universities now offer courses in English. But, it is an enrichment to learn the German language. And it has been observed that Indians are good at learning German".
The ambassador of German Universities said the DWH will act like a hub for young talents as a house for scientific innovation, which is one of Germany's strengths. Among the 14 universities and member institutions of the DWH are the well known Heidelberg University, the Max Planck Society and the University of Cologne.
He further said "The DWH is mainly an address for facilitating study in Germany" Adding that there was an increase of 20% in the number of Indian students going to Germany in 2011 compared to the previous year.
According to a study made by the Indian Institute of Maangeemnt-Bangaloer, more than 53,000 Indian's went abroad in 2000 for a degree and at the end of the decade, the count shot up-to 190,000. The US is the top country having most number of Indian students, with the UK a close second. Between 2000 and 2009, the number of Indian students in Europe increased from 3,348 to 51,556, with the UK seeing a rise from 3,962 to 36,105.
Steiner was full of praise for India's excellence in the field of IT and German companies collaboration with Indian firms. He said "I have spoken to Infosys Germany and found them pretty impressive". In-fact Infosys is in collaboration with German IT major SAP, while Wipro has tied up with Siemens.

Alright. Ready for five fun links?
1. Did you know there is now a HIDDEN MICKEY CUPCAKE? It is available at the holiday gingerbread shop at the Contemporary Resort for $5.25 (as soon as Disney adds Mickey ears to anything, they jack up the price by 25%). Unfortunately, apart from the hidden mouse, it looks pretty standard. The Disney Food Blog has pics of the cupcake and other holiday treats, including a cookie dedicated to Cinqo the five-legged goat!
2. If you follow me on Pinterest, you probably will not be surprised when I tell you I've been browsing the Modcloth website this week. I'm thinking of a new dress for the holidays, and this Sweet and Greet Dress from the brand Poppy London is at the top of my list. It has lollipops all over it and is basically completely adorable.
3. Speaking of pretty potential purchases, I was intrigued to see a post on the Official Disney Parks Blog about all-new Small World merch available at the parks. Imagine my surprise when I walked into my local Disney Store yesterday and saw it on the shelves!
The plush seemed a lot bigger in person, and I still can't decide if I want one or not. That poodle is reeeeally cute...
4. There's a new vlog up on my youtube channel today! I've decided to start doing a few bookish vlogs about my favorite titles, so OF COURSE I had to start with a Jane Austen novel! I picked Emma. :) Check it out! (seriously though, I want to know the whole story of Frank Churchill and Jane Fairfax...)
5. Since we're on a bookish topic, I thought I'd share this funny video my brother Athos shared with me today. This rapper is an avid reader and looks like he will kill you if you interrupt him. It's somewhat bizarre, but I certainly understand how he feels. DON'T YOU EVER INTERRUPT ME WHILE I'M READING A BOOK!! ;)
And don't forget to check out this week's posts...
