THE lure of Liverpool is drawing twice the number of foreign tourists as two years ago.
The popularity of attractions such as Mathew Street, Liverpool Cathedral and the city's museums has drawn the visitors in.
The city has been singled out for praise by the VisitBritain tourism promotion organisation which says overseas tourists are reaching record levels in the UK this year.
This year is set to see a record 26.4m overseas visitor trips to the UK, beating the previous best years of 1998 and 2000, said VisitBritain chief executive Tom Wright.
He was speaking at a media conference at the Association of British Travel Agents annual convention now taking place in Orlando, Florida.
Mr Wright said: "More and more people around the world are enjoying more of what Britain has to offer."
He went on to point out that Liverpool had increased foreign visitors by 100% in just two years.
Cllr Warren Bradley, Liverpool's executive member for leisure and culture, said: "It is great news. We have been working with the Mersey Partnership to bring travel writers over to Liverpool.
"Recently we had journalists from North America who came to the North West and showed them what we have on offer.
"We know that visitors are not going to come to the city for a two-week holiday but they are travelling to the region for that long and there is no reason why they would not come to Liverpool for a few days."
Overseas residents have also made 60% more trips to Birmingham over the last two years, while Manchester is up 35%, Nottingham up 15%, Brighton up 12.5% and Newcastle-upon-Tyne up 11%.
Tourism is currently worth around #76bn a year to the British economy and employs around 2.1m people.
Mr Wright said the plan was to achieve such growth that tourism was worth #100bn by 2010. Liverpool's Capital of Culture win has led to an increase in hotel bookings and investment inquiries to the region.
The annual report by the tourism and investment body, The Mersey Partnership, published recently also presents a strong picture in relation to jobs, growth and businesses.
Almost 700,000 hotel rooms were sold on Merseyside in 2003/04, more than 96,000 up on the previous year.
The conference market also performed well, with the number with more than 100 people rising from 45 to 60, and the value of conference business more than doubling to almost #800,000.
The Mersey Partnership's tourism website visitliver pool.com now receives 40,000 contacts a month compared with just 13,000 the previous year.

Project Description
Army Rugby Union
The Official Rugby Association of the British Army came to us when they needed their site redesigned and upgraded. With a busy schedule of matches and lots of supporters, the Army Rugby Union website needed an overhaul and infrastructure upgrade for both the static site and across the eCommerce system selling ARU merchandise. In the back end, development as also needed to make it easier for ARU's marketing team to upload match reports, news items and add new products to the store.
We began with a thorough review of the two existing websites, delving into the tech and content to get an idea of what structural changes were needed and how the whole system could be improved. With the audit complete, our team recommended a winning combination of WordPress for the static pages and BigCommerce for the online store. Both scalable, flexible and adaptable, the two systems could also be fully integrated for a more streamlined and user friendly experience.
Standout Features
Easy Access: The user friendly CMS system provides around the clock access to the website for admin staff working non standard office hours.
Multi Platform Design: The two sites have been developed in tandem, employing a seamless user experience and design consistency.
Unlimited Product Variations: The selected BigCommerce platform makes it easy for multiple SKUs to be uploaded in seconds, giving unlimited product variations.
Mobile Responsive Design: From tablet to desktop, smartphone to laptop, the responsive design fits any screen size perfectly for a faultless user experience at home or on the go.

Colin McPherson: An Independent Eye
22 March 2018 until 14 April 2018
Hillhead Library
Colin McPherson: An Independent Eye
01 March – 14 April, Hillhead Library, Glasgow
For over 20 years leading up to the final print run of the Independent in March 2016, photographer Colin McPherson worked on a freelance basis for the newspaper, initially based in Scotland then in the north west of England, covering hundreds of stories and contributing thousands of images to the 'Indy'.
Over the years, McPherson attended major news and sporting events, shooting features and other assignments which took him all over the nations of the United Kingdom and beyond.
Founded in 1986, the Independent had a unique way of presenting its photography, often giving equal prominence to pictures and text. Its reproduction of stunning black-and-white imagery marked the Independent as groundbreaking and daring and led many other publications to follow suit in their layout and design. In common with all major national newspapers, the Independent covered the day's news in depth and detail, however, photographers working on the title, and its sister paper the Independent on Sunday were alway encouraged to 'look for something different' meaning photographers had creative licence to tackle stories in their own way, interpreting and representing the news according to their own vision. As well as tackling stories in a serious and thoughtful manner, photographers often captured moments of fun, irony and beauty.
After 2000, the Independent changed format and with it the impact of its photography lessened. The photographers working on the titles still continued to produce imagery of the highest quality and standard and throughout the last decade of the paper it went through a renaissance under picture editor Sophie Batterbury. The switch to digital-only content resulted in the picture desk staff being made redundant and an end to assignments for their photographers.
As the Independent passed into history, Colin McPherson published a small compendium of his images taken on assignment or reproduced in the paper to commemorate his contribution over two decades. Titled An Independent Eye, his photographs and original cuttings form the newspapers were then exhibited at Oriel Colwyn Bay to coincide with the first anniversary of the Independent turning into an internet-only publication.

The trouble with feedback
Over the past three weeks I have been working client engagements where we were teaching and practicing techniques on giving behaviorally anchored feedback in the work environment. There are a lot of good models out there, and at their core when done well they all have a similar cadence.
- Focus the person's attention to the time and place where a behavior occurred that is causing you to give feedback
- Describe what the person did or said
- Talk about the effect that behavior had on you or the group without passing judgment (i.e. "I was disappointed" rather than "you are always late with project deliverables, that's unprofessional")
When done well this type of feedback is developmental in nature, meaning it invites a conversation between the parties with the intention of creating learning. That seems straight forward enough, but I watched very talented managers just struggle with doing it. I asked the participants in the sessions to describe the nature of their difficulties and their responses helped me identify a few key areas of concern that I believe may help folks who also want to be good at feedback, know the techniques involved, but somehow have struggled with delivery.
5 Things to remember
- Am I going to manage or develop this person right now? This is a question you must answer before you give feedback and follow through on consistently to do feedback well. Many managers reported that their jobs are to make judgements about people and their performance all of the time, so the mental shift to a coaching and development conversation is difficult.
- Be sure to describe the behavior rather than using a label that is your interpretation of the behavior. For many managers this was hard because their brains very quickly aggregated the behavior, and tagged it as something; rude, professional, good leadership, aggressive. It turns out that at the pace of work folks had a hard time going back to figure out where that attribution came from. A simple question might help, if you can ask yourself, "What evidence do I have to support that statement?" you will find yourself describing behaviors. The rude person judgement was made because an individual, spoke over you, cut you off, and turned their back to you at the conference table, those are behaviors.
- Developmental feedback does not just mean constructive, or negative. This tip goes to the question of, why am I going to give this feedback? Our motivation for taking the time to give developmental feedback is to help people become more aware of the repercussions of their actions BOTH positively and negatively. We want to reinforce and encourage those behaviors that created positive outcomes, and help foster alternative choices for those behaviors that were negatively perceived.
- Any feedback is better than no feedback. Three stats from a 2011 Gallup survey on employee engagement should get our attention:
- Managers giving little or no feedback to their workers fail to engage 98% of them and managers giving little or no feedback to employees result in 4 out of 10 workers being actively disengaged.
- Employees receiving predominantly negative feedback from their manager are over 20 times more likely to be engaged than those receiving little or no feedback
- Managers focusing on employee strengths are 30 times more likely to manage actively engaged workers compared with managers denying feedback.
- Keep feedback constant and on the top of your agenda. Poorly delivered feedback can be devastating, and if we don't practice it we don't get good at it. The cadence of communication at work should include accurate, factual, complete, behaviorally anchored feedback delivered in a timely fashion.

To Jacksonian Democracy including the "Trail of Tears" Lecture Notes and Links
John Q. and Louisa Adams Links
John Q. Adams // Amistad Case
Louisa Adams
Lecture Notes
John Quincy and Louisa Adams
If there was really an Era of Good Feelings, it came to an end in the 1824 presidential election. There was still only one political party, the Democratic-Republicans, but it had broken into factions based over the role of the federal government versus states and economic policies. As a result, four men ran for President in 1824.
John Quincy Adams, the son of John and Abigail Adams and Monroe's Secretary of State was also an experienced diplomat (he negotiated the Treaty of Ghent) and anti-slavery. Andrew Jackson ran as a "plain farmer" and had little experience in government compared to the other candidates although he served briefly in Congress. But, he was seen as a hero by the American people after the Creek Uprising, Battle of New Orleans, and 1st Seminole War. Henry Clay, a Kentucky Congressman, Speaker of the House, and "War Hawk" in 1812, advocated internal improvements, the Bank of the U.S., and tariffs. William Crawford of Georgia had served as Secretary of the Treasury under Monroe and devoted to states' rights. He was ill during the campaign and bled 23 times in three weeks and never recovered completely.
When the votes had been counted, Jackson had won the popular vote with 43% of the vote with Adams in second with 31% of the popular vote. At the same time, that's now how we elect Presidents and in the Electoral College neither man had a majority. Jackson had 99 votes, Adams had 84, Crawford had 41, and Clay had 37. No one had a majority so that threw the election in the House. The Constitution required they select the President from the top three therefore eliminating Henry Clay. Each state had one vote to determine the winner. Clay became the most important because whoever he supported would get his votes and determine the winner. Crawford was relatively ignored due to his illness despite coming in third.
Many in Congress did not trust Andrew Jackson. They believed he lacked morality and intelligence. Henry Clay did not particularly care for Adams but he was qualified and shared Clay's support for a strong federal government. So, Clay endorsed Adams and his supporters helped elect John Quincy Adams. Andrew Jackson was furious and he was not a man people should have irritated. He was combative, stubborn, had an explosive temper, and loved dueling. Jefferson called him a "dangerous man" with terrible passions. When he lost the election, he exploded. Then when Clay was appointed Secretary of State by Adams, Jackson accused them of a "corrupt bargain." Nothing illegal or unethical was uncovered. Jackson returned to Tennessee yelling that the American people had been cheated and began his 1828 campaign for the presidency.
Meanwhile, Adams tried to govern. (Interesting Note: In 1826, his father died. Thomas Jefferson died the same day, July 4, 1826. This was the 50th anniversary of the proclamation of the Declaration of Independence.) Like father, like son and Adams will be an unpopular one term President. He only got 31% of the popular vote so had an uphill battle for four years. He simply did not reflect the dominant mood in the US at the time. Americans were agitating for more democracy and few voting restrictions, but he was conservative, stiff, and even Puritanical. In hindsight, he was not as bad as his contemporaries thought.
First, he tried to bring people together by appointments from all points of view but that angered his supporters. He tried to lead by what he though was right and wrong rather than popular opinion and that made many people mad. He tried to approach problems intellectually and that was not the mood of emotional Americans. He promoted internal improvements and that angered the South, New England, and Congress rejected all his proposals. He tried to push for policies to protect American Indians. That was unpopular everywhere. He tried to organize alliances with Latin American and Caribbean nations that angered the South due to Haiti. The slave revolt there might encourage U.S. slaves. He did send a delegate to the Panama Congress but nothing happened since only four other nations showed up.
His biggest problem, though, was the issue of nullification or voiding a federal law by states. This issue arose again over the Tariff of 1828 or known as the Tariff of Abominations by its opponents in the South. But, the South had caused the problem. The North and West had proposed moderate increases in tariffs. To block it, southerners offered an alternative that included tariffs on raw materials that the North need for manufacturing. Southerners believed this would force them to oppose the bill. Much to the surprise of southerners, the tariff passed and the South went crazy. Vice President John C. Calhoun of South Carolina led the opposition. Calhoun began promoting nullification, an old idea proposed by Jefferson and Madison. It is an extreme states' rights position and gave states the authority to void federal laws they believed exceeded federal authority. The controversy made Adams' re-election unlikely.
Poor John Quincy Adams. Nothing went right. Even his marriage was tumultuous. Louisa Johnson Adams once said "hanging and marriage were strongly similar." This was not a happy marriage in the beginning although seems to have mellowed over the years
Louisa Adams hated being First Lady. She had spent most of her youth in Europe because of her father's business. Although he was from Maryland, she was born in England and her mother was English. She attended school in France where she learned to play the harp, wrote poetry, read a lot and was influenced by a teacher who believed women were equal to men.
She began her relationship with Adams when both were on the rebounds from other romances although they had known each other since childhood. They married in 1797 when she was 23 and he 30. They had little in common. Unfortunately, John Quincy Adams did not share his mother's progressive view about women. He was demanding and expected her do do as told. Most of the time she did, but when she rebelled it was trouble.
One of revealing stories about their relationship occurred in France. Women in France wore make-up unlike in the U.S. where that was associated with being a loose woman without morals. But, when in France...So, Louisa came home one day with rouge on her cheeks like French women. When Adams saw her, he pulled her into the bathroom and scrubbed her face clean. Louisa had her faults, too. She could be impulsive, had a short temper, was stubborn and spoiled. When her father went broke and could not provide her with financial help, money became a constant problem that added to the marital tension. In addition, she did not get along with her mother-in-law, Abigail, and felt Abigail interfered in the marriage.
Apparently, she and John Quincy got along occasionally. She was pregnant 12 or 13 times but had 6 or 7 miscarriages. She did have four sons who lived although one son and daughter died as infants. Even the children were a source of problems with her husband. He was often gone during her pregnancies and not present during most of the births. She resented his strictness with the children and his refusing to consult with her on important decisions. This included an 1809 incident while in Russia. John Quincy decided to leave the two eldest sons behind to gain experience in their culture. She did not see them again until 1815.
Their relationship seems to have improved over the years. She actually enjoyed the 1824 campaign as she handled the paperwork. But, she found the role of First Lady disappointing. Again, she felt left out since her husband was not suited for the social role. He allowed few parties since his unpopularity made him uncomfortable. She kept a low profile and spent her time reading, drawing, cultivating silk worms, gorging on chocolate, writing, and going to health spas. After he left office, things improved as a result of a tragedy when their eldest son committed suicide in 1829. That brought them closer together. Also, both got involved in the anti-slavery and woman's rights movements. He also served as a Congressman after his presidency for 17 years and was involved in the defense of the slaves in the Amistad case which involved slaves capturing a ship. Adams presented the argument in defense of the slaves and the case was won.
That contentment came long after the torture of the Election of 1828. It has become known as one of the dirtiest elections in U.S. history. Despite his unpopularity, Adams fought for victory and his opponent, Andrew Jackson, gave him lost of material to use. Despite the unprecedented political organization Jackson created and referred to as the "Democrats," Adams fought hard. He accused Jackson of adultery. Technically that was true. He had married Rachel Donelson Robards in 1791 thinking she was divorced after her husband deserted her. Then they discovered the papers had never been finalized. They managed to get this done and remarried.
Adams also accused Jackson of being a murdered. Technically, that was also true. He had killed a man in a due and executed a soldier in the Creek Uprising for dubious reasons. Adams also accused Jackson of being the son of a prostitute and African-American man. Technically, we don't know. We know his father died while his mother was pregnant with Andrew. He grew up in very poor circumstances and the possibility of his mother turning to prostitution was not out of the question. We simply do not know much about his father.
Adams also accused Jackson of cursing, cockfighting, and breaking the Sabbath. But, Jackson fought back accusing Adams of being a pimp. A Russian diplomat had requested a companion for the evening and Adams arranged it. Jackson also accused Adams of wasting public funds by purchasing a pool table.
With those choices, Jackson won 178 Electoral College votes to Adams' 83. The era known as Jacksonian Democracy had begun and the Democratic-Republicans became known as the Democrats. And,that takes us to our next topic.
Born in 1767 on the North/South Carolina border, he grew up in poverty and became known as a wild, reckless, bully of a child. At 13, he became a guerrilla warrior in the American Revolution and was wounded and taken prisoner. At 14, his mother died and he really went wild, drinking, gambling and fighting. But at 17 he decided to get his life in order. He could not afford college but got an apprenticeship in a law office and was admitted to the bar at the age of 20. He saw his future out west so he relocated to Tennessee and prospered as a lawyer, Attorney General, judge, and politician. He also created his plantation, The Hermitage, and married Rachel Robards. By 1796, he was living the life of plantation aristocrats with 125 slaves. He served briefly in the House and senate but did not like it. At any rate he was appointed the General of the Tennessee Militia.
One of the most famous incidents in his life came in 1806 when he challenged, Charles Dickinson, a well-known lawyer, politician, and duelist to a duel. This revealed something about Jackson's character. One historian wrote "when Jackson hated, it became a grand passion." Unfortunately for Dickinson, Jackson hated him. Jackson accused Dickinson of insulting his wife so Jackson challenged him to a duel. But, Dickinson was known as a fast draw and excellent marksman. Jackson's friends were concerned.
Jackson had a plan. He assumed Dickinson would get in the first shot and believed he would hit Jackson. The plan was to hopefully survive and then he could take his aim. That's what happened. Dickinson fired and Jackson was struck in the chest. Witnesses or "Seconds" were amazed. Jackson did not flinch. At that point Jackson could do one of two things. He could raise his gun and shoot into the air to end the conflict or he could take his time and aim to shoot his opponent. He shot and killed Dickinson. Jackson carried a bullet on inch from his heart the rest of his life.
Despite this incident, by the end of the War of 1812, Jackson was seen as a hero. Most Americans loved Andrew Jackson but he was a complicated man. By 1828, Americans called him "Old Hickory" or "Old Hero." He was one of "them," a common man. He supported the expansion of the vote and by end of his era most adult white males could vote and serve in elective office. He supported labor organizations to agitate for better conditions. He was many and strong-willed. He raise a Creek child, and hist best friend was an African-American. He will be a popular two term President, and he used his popularity to increase the power of the presidency.
Unfortunately, Jackson began his era as a widower. Rachel died right after the election and he blamed the Adams campaign. They had no children other than the Creek child they raised. So, Jackson was in mourning at the time of the inauguration. Despite this, it was a very big celebration to which he invited "the people" do come and they did. It has been known since then as the "Inaugural Brawl." "The people" came and proceeded to get drunk and tear of the presidential mansion. Jackson escaped out a window while others rolled the beer kegs to the lawn where the party continued.
Once in office he enacted his vision of President and exuded self-confidence. He dominated Congress and the cabinet. He also redefined the veto as a political tool. Prior to him, Presidents only vetoed laws they thought were unconstitutional. Jackson began the practice of vetoing laws he just did not like politically. He also enhanced his power with the "spoils system" or patronage. He rewarded his supporters with government jobs. Unfortunately, many of his supporters turned out to be unqualified and/or incompetent.
Jackson could be unpredictable and took unpopular stand. The most famous example was over nullification. As a known states' righter, it was assumed he would support nullification. Up to 1830 he made no public stand. Finally, at a toast at a Jefferson's Day dinner he said, "Our Union: It must and shall be preserved." In 1832 he was prepared to use force to prevent nullification. He even sent ships to Charleston saying that the Union was perpetual and states did night have the right to nullification or secede (leave the union) without violence. At the same time, he got the "Tariff of Abominations" revised, lowered the tariff, the South saved face, and the crisis calmed. But, as we will see, Jackson did not always oppose nullification.
Jackson actually created some problems of his own. This was true with the economy, but the problems he created did not surface until after he left office so received little criticism. First, he hated the Bank of the U.S. that he saw as a monopoly that helped the wealthy so he vetoed its recharter in his first term. That was a major issue of his re-election campaign and when he won, he said it was a mandate. The Bank was dead and dismantled. This will be a direct cause of another economic depression in 1837 when state banks again began over-issuing currency causing inflation or increase in prices.
Jackson tended to see economic issues as short-term. He ran into trouble again in an odd way by today's standards. He was too efficient in cutting the deficit. He managed to eliminate the deficit with tariff income and ended up with a surplus. Even after $1.3 million a year investments in internal improvements, he still had a surplus. He could have done many things with that surplus but decided to distribute it to the states. This infusion of money led to economic problems down the road with more inflation.
Jackson also had problems with Texas. In 1821, Mexico had won independence from Spain and that included Texas. The region known as Texas now had been a problem due to hostile American Indians such as the Comanche, Kiowa, and Apache. East and west of San Antonio, few settlers could be found. On the other hand, the U.S. had plenty of people willing to try so the Mexican government decided to allow settlers. By 1833, Americans like Stephen Austin had come to Texas and were given land grants. But, soon conflicts grew between Texans and Mexicans.
Mexico had abolished slavery but Texans wanted to bring their slaves. Mexican law required everyone to be a Catholic and most from the U.S. were Protestant. Texans complained about lack of services like roads and schools. In addition, many Hispanics in Texas agreed and saw a better economic and political future if aligned with the U.S. As a result, Texans waged a rebellion in 1835-6 aimed at independence.
One of the best stories about the Texas War for Independence other than the Alamo was the story of Emily West. She has been credit by some for helping to win the revolution. The story goes that Emily, a slave who had been freed by her owner and made an indentured servant instead, caught the eye of the Mexican military leader Santa Anna. He brought her to his camp for the evening. While she distracted him, the Texans attacked and defeated Santa Anna in the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. Some say Santa Anna was caught with his pants down and Emily West became known as the "Yellow Rose of Texas." The term "yellow" was used to refer to light skinned African-Americans. Almost immediately after the battle, a song was written about her and has been carried down through the decades as a folk song. So we have to sing! Since it is a folk song, there are about 100 versions. This is just one with lyrics below.
After victory, Texans led by Sam Houston requested annexation into the U.S. Jackson refused. With the upcoming election of 1836, he wanted to make sure controversy did not hurt his choice of successor, Martin Van Buren. He feared it would revive the slavery debate and upset the balance. In addition, he feared Mexico would declare war because they still disputed Texas boundaries and the U.S. military was occupied at the time dealing with American Indians. So, Texas began its era as an independent republic.
Meanwhile, Jackson was distracted by issues regarding American Indians. Problems had emerged with the so-called "Five Civilized Tribes." This included the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Creek, and Seminole in the Southeast. In addition, there were still pockets of American Indians in the Ohio Valley. And Delaware, Sac and Fox had not given up in the western territories east of the Mississippi River. Since the era of Monroe there had been a debate about what to do about the "Indian Problem." Monroe had suggested moving them. John Q. Adams wanted them left alone and protected. There was also a debate over who had authority over American Indians: states, federal government, or American Indians?
The Cherokee got caught up in the middle of this debate. Federal treaties with the Cherokee granted them independence to operate as an independent nation with their own laws, government, and judicial process. They had succeeded in a combination of assimilation and independence. They had a written constitution and their own alphabet developed by Sequoyah. They were economically prosperous, had converted to Christianity, and had African-American slaves although most were freed. In many ways, they acted and lived like other southerners in the area of Georgia.
But that was not good enough for the Georgia government. Georgians wanted the Cherokee land of 7,200 square miles. The state offered them $30,000 for it but the Cherokee refused. Georgia proceeded to refuse to recognize federal authority over them and claimed states' rights over the Cherokee. Then, two laws were passed in 1829. This was nullification in action. The first law extended state authority over the Cherokee including the judiciary The second law forbade whites to live with the Cherokee without a license.
This led to two Supreme Court cases. The first was a murder case. Cherokee Corn Tassel had been accused of murdering another Cherokee. Under federal treaties, this would have been handled by the Cherokee. But, the state of Georgia intervened, arrested Corn Tassel, convicted him and sentenced him to die. This case went to the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, another case was filed by white church missionaries living among the Cherokee.
The Supreme Court was still controlled by John Marshall who believed in a strong federal government so the Court decided in favor of the Cherokee and missionaries. Georgia ignored the decision and executed Corn Tassel. President Jackson refused to intervene. He said let the Supreme Court and John Marshall enforce it rulings. Our government does not work that way. Only the President has the power to enforce Supreme Court decisions and Jackson chose not to do that. This was confirmation that nullification was okay some of the time to him.
Later Supreme Court decisions complicated the issue. In 1831, the Court ruled the Cherokee were not a separate nation nor a state so they had no rights in federal courts. They did have the right to property and could not be forced off the land, though. An 1832 decision ruled Georgia had no authority over the Cherokee and could not enter Cherokee territory without permission
Meanwhile, Jackson and Congress had begun the "final solution" to the "Indian Problem." Suddenly southerners approved even though it was a federal action rather than a state solution. Two laws were passed in 1830 and 1832, the Indian Removal Act and Indian Intercourse Act. The first funded and organized the forced removal of all American Indians from east of the Mississippi River to west of the Mississippi River. The second law established "Indian Territory" for the "perpetual protection" of American Indians The result was called the "Trail of Tears" by the Cherokee.
Most American Indians opposed removal and believed the land could be shared. The U.S. promised it would only proceed with treaties agreeing to the removal. The U.S. could always find a "government chief" to sign treaties and over 90 were signed during Jackson's presidency. The U.S. did not recognize that one chief had no authority over other bands in the same nation. In 1830, the removal began after the signing of the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek with the Choctaw giving the U.S. all territory East of the Mississippi. The U.S. Army began removal but some escaped into the forest and tried to organize resistance. Most were captured and marched West in the winter. Disease and lack of clothing or food led to deaths on the way to Indian Territory (Oklahoma and part of Arkansas). By 1833, some 7,000 had been moved to Indian Territory to face starvation, psychological depressing, and misery. 700 did manage to escape to Texas. The map below illustrates the movement of American Indians during the Trail of Tears.
For the Creek, the story was similar. About 23,000 Creeks and 1,000 African-Americans were all included in a treaty signed in 1832. The Creeks fought back with attacks on settlers. Warfare erupted from 1834-6 before the Creeks were subdued by U.S. troops. Some escaped but by 1837, most had had been removed in circumstances like the Choctaw. The Chickasaw were the easiest to remove due to their small population. It was useless for them to fight. All they asked was to be placed away from their traditional enemy, the Choctaw. They were moved to Indian territory next to the Choctaw. (That's why we have two casinos relatively close to one another near the Texas-Oklahoma border. The Chickasaw run Winstar and the Choctaw have another casino to the east.)
The most famous removal was the Cherokee. About 20,000 Cherokee and African-Americans applied an 1832 treaty to them all but the U.S. they would fight. Indeed the Cherokee refused to go and used passive resistance. The U.S. ended up making elaborate preparations by building outdoor stockades for prisons and an enormous troop deployment. The U.S. Army implemented a "dragnet" approach rounding up Cherokees wherever they found them. Then, they destroyed all property, robbed graves, looted, and the soldiers claimed land for themselves. The Cherokees were put in the stockades, like concentration camps that would have made Hitler proud. Hundreds died in the stockades. The survivors were then marched or shipped west while the buried the dead on the way. Conditions were so bad that Army doctors complained to Jackson, but he did not care. Some escaped into the Smoky Mountains but most were removed. By the time it was over, 1/5 of the Cherokee were dead. What had been one of the most prosperous of American Indian nations had become paupers.
The most difficult removal for the U.S., however, were the Seminoles of Florida. Only a few would agree to removal and that led to a war by Seminoles against the sell outs. The U.S. could not get a treaty so the Creek treaty was applied to them since they had been part of the Creek nation at one time. Most Seminoles fought every effort of removal, though. Guerrilla warfare in the swamps led by Chief Osceola became known as the 2nd Seminole War, 1835-42, and 3rd Seminole War, 1855-58. The U.S. eventually gave up, created a reservation in Florida and went on to other problems.
While the Trail of Tears proceeded, problems erupted Illinois called the Black Hawk War (1832). The Sac and Fox had moved west but faced starvation So they went back east to Illinois to hunt in their homeland and refused to leave. Scared settlers urged intervention and the militia forced the American Indians back to the West. One interesting note about the Black Hawk War was that Abraham Lincoln was a member of the militia. He saw no combat but this became his only military experience. Most of the 1,000 Sac and Fox were killed during their retreat.
Americans were, in general, overjoyed with Jackson's Indian policy. Again, they saw him as a hero. Do you think he was a hero?
Not everyone loved Jackson, though. Some believed he was a would-be dictator or king. As a result, in the 1830s a new political party developed in opposition to Jackson. The Whigs was a diverse group with only their opposition to Jackson in common. In general, they took the conservative group of the Federalists. They were pro-business, concerned with immorality, feared too much democracy, wanted order, and a strong federal government. They also tended to be opposed to the expansion of slave territory. Some of the best known of the Whigs included Horace Greeley, Daniel Webster, and Henry Clay. Jackson's Democrats favored more freedom, more access to education, more suffrage (right to vote), were pro-labor, pro-agriculture, and favored states'rights including on the slavery issue.
Despite the appearance of the Whig party, Jackson was still enormously popular, the economy was booming, and the U.S. was totally out of debt in 1836. So, his candidate, Martin van Buren was elected over the Whig, William Henry Harrison (of the Battles of the Tippecanoe and Thames River).
Martin Van Buren had been a New York lawyer, Senator, Secretary of state, diplomat and Jackson's Vice President during his second term. He was a widower left with four sons. His wife, Hannah Hoes (unfortunate name) was his cousin. They were married 12 years and in his autobiography he did not mention her.
During his presidency he will enjoy few legislative successes. He did help establish the 10 hour workday on federal projects. Late in his one term he created the so-called "independent treasury" to replace the Bank of the U.S. that included no private banks on no investments in speculation. This came too late to prevent Van Buren's downfall, the Panic of 1837, the second nationwide economic depression in the U.S.
The causes included the continuation of not regulating U.S. currency since state banks continued to issue money recklessly. This led to inflation since money had little value plus the infusion of money by Jackson into states. Speculation was also rampant on new lands taken from American Indians. Then came crop failures and Van Buren strongly opposed government intervention to help people. He was also in office during the Amistad case and advised that the slaves be deported to Cuba.
In the 1840 election the Whigs nominated William Henry Harrison again and labeled Van Buren = Martin Van Ruin and blamed the depression on him although it was more the result of Jackson's policies. Harrison won with the campaign motto "Tippecanoe and Tyler, too." John Tyler was his running mate. The Era of Jacksonian Democracy was over.

Good catch Richard..... Opto pin 4 to the Base of the TIP41, and Pin 5 to the 7812's output.....
Most of the time, the Cap will not discharge down to the Battery voltage level and will have that 2V over the 7812..
I have never seen this version Schematic that Claudio is using.... I had never used a 7812 for that use....
A 10-12V zener diode with resistor and cap will do the trick, but even that is not needed, unless you are killing the base of the TIP41, by charging 24V Battery's
The 4N35 has a Maximum Collector Emitter Voltage: 30 V
H11D1 has a Maximum Collector Emitter Voltage: 300V much better choice when hitting it with Hi V spikes from a SG/SSG.....

thank you again , I am learning..
I'm referring from this schematic coming from the JB and PL Books..
H11D1 will be installed, I just didn't find the opto in the software...
Will use 12V batteries
Of course I will breadboard the circuit, I have all the components ready but unfortunately in this period of the year I do not have much time...
updated circuit
still looks like you have the opto output pins wrong, you need to use pins 4 and 5, not 5 and 6
Breadboarding will prove if it will work
The 7812 I got is the L7812ABV-DG from mouser
Modified the PCB following your wise indications, please confirm the new cap is ok..
I will test on breadboard and if it works will send to manufacture, conductivity is way better on manufactured PCB
thank you
Dear Faraday88, RS_, Richard,
I am finally back to my project, I hope you will be still available to help me…

No Capacitor module yet…
I am having difficulties on understanding the right connections for the Cap Module I produced (if it will ever work!).
I post here the images of circuit, PCB and scheme to explain:
When I connected 1 to the neg charging Battery and 2 to the pos it fried the ammeter immediately.
What am I doing wrong ?
Could somebody help please…

Here are a few scenarios for you to think about regarding children how they generate your anger. Consider how you might handle these situations. Let me know your ideas. Next Thursday, I will give you my take on the following four scenarios:
Scenario #1
Your son pestered you for months to get him a dog. When you finally did get him a dog it was with the understanding that he, not you, would be taking care of it. Lately, your son has come up with all kinds of excuses for not being able to walk the dog in the evening. This week, he forgot to feed the dog three times. You have a demanding full time job and cannot take on the added responsibility of a dog. Your best strategy for dealing with this is:
●Take the dog to the pound
●Have the vet put the dog down.
●Inform your son that you will not feed him, do his laundry or clean his room until he assumes full responsibility for his dog.
●Tell your son that if he chooses to avoid taking responsibility for the dog, he must also choose to give up the dog.
●Advise your son that you do not intend to look after his dog.
Scenario #2
While cleaning up your daughter's room, you discover a stash of drugs. You are horrified. Your daughter is an honor student. She is also a member of the girls' basketball team. You are fairly certain you know most of her close friends. As a parent, you have tried to be vigilant without being intrusive. You wonder what could have happened. What would you do?
Scenario #3
You are in the fifth year of your second marriage. Your spouse has an older boy from a previous marriage living with you. The boy is a high school drop-out who is currently unemployed. You just learned that his girlfriend is pregnant. You would like to avoid upsetting your spouse but you want that boy out of your house before he decides to bring his girlfriend and their baby home for you to support. What would you do?
Scenario #4
Suppose the problem is not your children but rather someone else's children who are causing you immense rage and anger.
Your brother lives in Chicago while you and your spouse live in a tiny cottage on the shores of Cape Cod. Five years ago your brother expressed an interest in visiting you during the summer so his three boys could enjoy the water. You were delighted to have them come. Now they expect to come every summer for three (terrible) weeks. Your brother's kids are combative, undisciplined and wild. Last summer, they left their room with one broken floor lamp, one shattered chest of drawers, one busted table lamp and the cabinet in the bathroom had been pulled out of the wall because the youngest, Paul, had been swinging on it. All the blankets, sheets and pillows were on the floor along with wet Kleenex balls from a snowball fight. It took you four hours to get the room straightened out so that someone could make the repairs.
It is now March and there is a message on your answering machine from your sister-in-law. She wants to discuss the dates for her family's "annual visit to your quaint little summer cottage". Your best strategy for dealing with this is:
- Send your brother a bill for repairing all the destruction his boys caused; tell him that the bill must be paid before he can visit again.
- Since this is family, suck it up; make the visiting arrangements for the coming summer.
- Inform your sister-in-law that you and your spouse are going to tour Central Asia this summer and will not be home.
- Wipe the call off the answering machine; pretend you never got the call.
- Return the call. Tell your sister-in-law that you are unable to have them visit this summer because of the condition in which the boys left their room last summer.
- Tell your sister-in-law she must keep the boys under control if they visit this summer.

School System Prepares for Inclement Weather
Post date: Dec 10, 2013 8:06:51 PM
As the seasons change and the possibility of snow becomes greater, it is time to update everyone of the Yancey County Schools plan for inclement weather days and making up any missed instructional days due to unsafe road conditions. With the passing of Senate Bill 187, effective July 1, 2013, public school systems can have a school start date of no earlier than the Monday closest to August 26 and end date no later than the Friday closest to June 11 (unless a weather related calendar waiver has been approved). Yancey County Schools does have an approved weather waiver which allows for an end of school date past June 11th. This law shifted our
school year by two weeks – our later start on August 19th could result in a June 17th or later end date.
All public school systems must have a minimum of 185 days OR 1,025 hours of instruction. The Yancey County Schools calendar, set at 180 days, exceeds the instructional hours required by the state. Extra hours are used for early dismissals and delayed openings.
These changes to the school calendar requirements have cancelled the need for automatic Saturday School. Please keep in mind that every day missed pushes the last day of school back. That is why it is impossible at this time to project the final last day of school.
With this new plan and the typically unpredictable weather here in Yancey County, there is a possibility that the end of school will be in late June. Parents should keep this in mind when planning your family vacation.
Once winter arrives, employees of Yancey County Schools are on the roads by 4:00 a.m. checking across the county for ice or snow dangers. They coordinate with the DOT and the Sheriff's Department. While student safety will always be our first concern, every effort is made to have school whenever possible. That may mean calling for a 2 or 3 hour delay in starting school until the roads have been cleared. When dealing with changing road conditions, everyone must remember that buses are on the roads and picking up students 2 hours prior to the scheduled start of school and up to 2 hours after school is dismissed returning students home. This sometimes requires making decisions based on what might happen a few hours later in the day for both the safety of the students, our staff and our bus drivers.
The Connect 5 Call System will be used again this year to notify parents by phone of delays, early dismissals and school cancellations. Parents are encouraged to make sure their child's school has their latest contact information for Connect 5 announcements.
Other means of obtaining school cancellations and delays include:
School Announcement Line 682-7322

Hydroponic net pots are just pots with holes in them to allow the roots access to the hydroponic nutrient solution. They can be easily made to fit any system out of whatever pots, buckets or plastic cups are available. Making homemade net pots saves money and allows the pot size to be fit to the best size for the plant and system. The net pot must fit into the hole in the top of the system and hang down into the nutrient solution. Roots will grow out through the holes in the pot and into the nutrient solution.
Choose a suitable plastic pot, bucket or cup. For most plants a small plastic drinking cup is sufficient. Fit the pot size to the system support. It must rest on the support so that nutrients can enter the pot through the holes. How much of the pot to submerge depends on the hydroponic system used.
Drill holes of about 1/2-inch diameter in the bottom and sides of the cup or pot. A few larger holes is better than many small holes, so four or five is sufficient. For thin plastic cups, cut the holes with a sharp knife.
Place the growing media in the pot and use as normal in the hydroponic system.
Things You Will Need
- Plastic pot, bucket or plastic drinking cup
- Drill or sharp knife
- For vegetable growing, use food-safe containers or regular planting pots.
- Do not use Styrofoam cups or other buoyant materials that will float up when the nutrient solution is added.
- Do not use containers that have previously stored chemicals.
- Do not use metal containers because the metal will react with some nutrient solutions.

Eisner Award winner James Robinson ("Starman") gives his version of the Big 5 their biggest test yet in the next arc of "Justice League of America," which kicks off this week in the 56-page 50th issue of the title. Entitled "Omega," the four-issue story features the Crime Syndicate, the supervillain team consisting of evil alternate universe versions of DC's biggest and best superheroes. Created by Gardner Fox and Mike Sekowsky, the Crime Syndicate first appeared in "Justice League of America" #29 (Vol. 1) in 1964.
Since the acclaimed British writer grabbed the reins of the world's greatest heroes in "Justice League of America" #38 last year, Robinson has been assembling a roster which now consists of heirs apparent to DC Comics' iconic Big 5 of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and The Flash. Led by Dick Grayson, the new Batman, the JLA's current membership also includes Supergirl, the original Wonder Girl Donna Troy, Alan Scott's daughter Jade and Johnny Quick and Liberty Belle's daughter Jesse Quick. Congorilla and Mikaal Tomas fill out the roster but the dynamic duo is unavailable for the JLA's next challenge as they are off on their own adventure in an upcoming one-shot as revealed in DC's January solicitations.
In the first part of a special two-part DAYBREAK, Robinson shares his reasoning for using the Crime Syndicate as the latest big bads the JLA must face while hinting that a new supervillain will be introduced in issue #50 as well.
CBR News: Hot off the heels of writing a massive crossover in the pages of "Justice League of America" and "Justice Society of America," you're unleashing the Crime Syndicate on the JLA in an arc that kicks off this week in "Justice League of America" #50. Is this something you've been building towards since you took over the book last year?
James Robinson: Well, I can't say that, but when I was conceiving this team, which is sort of my version of the Big 5, the idea of them taking on the Crime Syndicate, a team that's fought the JLA to a standstill in the past, really appealed to me. There's a scene in "Justice League of America" #51, which I wrote a little while ago, that will, I hope, really hammer home that's this is now the Justice League and they are up for saving the world and taking on whatever threats that come their way. What better way to prove it than to have the Crime Syndicate fight my Justice League?
Also, through the machinations of Doctor Impossible, there's actually a new villain that I will be introducing at the end of #50, another threat that the Justice League has to deal with in order to save everybody in Washington, D.C., including the President. So there is plenty of big stakes stuff for the Justice League to handle.
It's Dick and super girls going up against the Crime Syndicate?
Yes. It's Dick, Donna, Supergirl, Jade and Jesse Quick, who I am having a lot of fun with actually. I really am. It's fun to write her and it's fun to have a speedster on the team, just having her appear literally everywhere, all at once. As a fan Mort Weisinger and Johnny Quick from the 1940s, it's just nice to write that character.
So where are Bill and Mikaal?
This is the thing. I wanted to give the Crime Syndicate and their opposite number, their moment. And Bill and Mikaal kind of got in the way of that, so they're off on a separate adventure that we will pick up on in the "Starman/Congorilla" one-shot in January.
Let's come back to that, because it looks great, but first, what about the Crime Syndicate? Will we see the classic team of Johnny Quick, Power Ring, Superwoman, Ultraman and Owlman.
Yes, absolutely. And we'll be picking up on the dynamic of the untrustworthiness and infidelity that exists within the team - and the drug addiction - and everything else that Grant Morrison put into the Crime Syndicate that made the team so interesting and delightful.
These two teams virtually mirror each other. Does that make the Crime Syndicate the ultimate test for the JLA?
Well, I think that the best villains are either mirror images or they are the antitheses. You have the contained order and discipline of Batman versus the insanity and chaos of the Joker. You have the might, strength and goodness of Superman versus the evil intelligence of Luthor. You can have those fantastic confrontations, and that's why those two villains are the greatest villains in comics and resound and are constantly being used. But then, obviously, you also have great stories with Sinestro as a villain fighting against Green Lantern and Professor Zoom fighting The Flash, where you have the evil counterpart to that character. That can work too.
I think with the Crime Syndicate, the beauty of them is they haven't actually been used that much. In my mind, they've been used a lot, but they've really only been used of late in the Grant Morrison graphic novel and then Kurt Busiek and Ron Garney in the "JLA" arc called, "Syndicate Rules." It's been a while, so it's nice to take these out of the closet, dust off the mothballs and see if I can do something good with them.
Is there one member or aspect of the Crime Syndicate that you've enjoyed writing more than the rest?
What I enjoyed most was writing the relationship between Owlman, Super Woman and Ultraman. It's this triangle of love and hatred and dependency and everything strange and twisted that Grant Morrison did do brilliantly and I'm just sort of continuing. And to be fair, Kurt Busiek also continued very effectively, I'm just doing my bit to keep it going. That's why it's a lot of fun to write.
We've got the Crime Syndicate, but you also mentioned a new villain. Can you shed any light on him or her?
There are some unexpected twists that lead to the creation of a new villain and whether this villain takes off or is successful or not, it's always a crapshoot. But the fact is, one of the things that I think that the DC Universe could improve on is having more villains. And so, I just intend to keep on trying to invent new villains while I'm doing "Justice League of America" instead of just relying on the same villains. Quite honestly, Batman has some fantastic villains, and The Flash and Superman, every major character, really has a nice rogues gallery, except, ironically, the Justice League. I've always thought that the Justice League's gallery of Amazo, Starro and Starbreaker, aren't particularly well conceived. They certainly don't feel like a perfect complement to the Justice League as the individual heroes' rogues are. So we'll see if the one that I've come up with is any good. People might hate it and in which case, I won't use it again. I'm just going to keep trying and swinging for the fences, and hopefully, at some point, I'll be adding a couple of good, new supervilliains for the DCU and the Justice League. So this is the first of them and I don't want to give you his name or his powers or anything just yet. I want that to emerge, so it can be judged on its own merit. But yes, there will be a new villain and it's bringing a world-threatening situation where the only people that can stop it is this team of Justice League members. It isn't anybody else.
What's ahead for the Justice League after they deal with the Crime Syndicate and this new villain?
This arc is called "Omega" and it's four parts and runs from #50 to #53 and then we'll be going straight into "Shadow War," which is the next arc. It picks up on Jade's vision from "Brightest Day" and again, it's a huge, world-threatening crisis that this Justice League has to solve.
The Shadow War isn't back to the moon for more than a couple of pages. We're on Earth and in other parts of the DC Universe that you perhaps wouldn't expect. I'll be cryptic about that.
Check back tomorrow when James Robinson discusses the "Starman/Congorilla" one-shot and his upcoming "Shade" miniseries.
All 56 pages of "Justice League of America" #50, featuring art by Mark Bagley, Pow Rodrix, Rob Hunter and Norm Rapund, a gatefold cover by Ethan Van Sciver and variant covers by Jim Lee and Bagley, goes on sale this week.

Yippee for Saturday!! Today was a lovely day and I can't wait to share it with you all. However, I feel like I've been doing a lot of typing lately ... so I'm going to give my fingers a bit of a break and let the photos do the talking!
Saint-Joseph in Esch-sur-Alzette
After running to the supermarket this morning (and snapping more than a few photos of the houses and churches I passed along the way), I took the train into Luxembourg City with some girl friends from my residence. We intended to shop and see the sights, but ultimately just wound up taking photos of things we liked all over Luxembourg!
From the buildings...
... to the incredible views ...
Side note: although I'm not in love with Luxembourg's weather quite yet, I have to admit that the rather dreary gray skies are providing a great look for my photos!
A very necessary post-shopping stop for tea and coffee.
Behind the scenes of my photoshoot!
Yippee for selfies with new friends in new places!
Can you tell that I really like Luxembourg?!
Good night from Luxembourg!

Luke Howard, FRS (28 November 1772 – 21 March 1864) was a British manufacturing chemist and an amateur meteorologist with broad interests in science. His lasting contribution to science is a nomenclature system for clouds, which he proposed in an 1802 presentation to the Askesian Society.
He was born in London, the son of Robert Howard, a lamp manufacturer, and educated at the Quaker school in Burford, Oxfordshire. He was a Quaker, later converting to the Plymouth Brethren, and became a pharmacist by profession. After serving an apprenticeship with a pharmacist in Stockport, Cheshire he set up his own pharmacy in Fleet Street in 1793. In approximately the year 1797 he then went into partnership with William Allen to form the pharmaceutical company of Allen and Howard in London. A factory was opened on the marshes at Plaistow, to the east of London. The partnership was dissolved in 1807 and the company eventually (1856) became Howards and Sons.
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1821. He spent the years 1824 to 1852 in Ackworth, Yorkshire.
He died in Tottenham, London. He had married Mariabella Eliott (1769–1852); they had several children including John Eliot Howard, FRS, chemist and botanist.
Luke Howard has been called "the father of meteorology" because of his comprehensive recordings of weather in the London area from 1801 to 1841 and his writings, which transformed the science of meteorology. Howard had an earlier interest in botany, presenting a paper 'Account of a Microscopical Investigation of several Species of Pollen, ...' that was published in the Linnean Society's Transactions for 1802, but wrote to Goethe that his passion was for meteorology. In his late twenties, he wrote the Essay on the Modification of Clouds, which was published in 1803. He named the three principal categories of clouds – cumulus, stratus, and cirrus, as well as a series of intermediate and compound modifications, such as cirrostratus and cirrocumulus, in order to accommodate the transitions occurring between the forms. He identified the importance of clouds in meteorology:
Clouds are subject to certain distinct modifications, produced by the general causes which affect all the variations of the atmosphere; they are commonly as good visible indicators of the operation of these causes, as is the countenance of the state of a person's mind or body.
Howard was not the first to attempt a classification of clouds—Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744–1829) had earlier proposed a list of descriptive terms in French—but the success of Howard's system was due to his use of universal Latin, as well as to his emphasis on the mutability of clouds. By applying Linnean principles of natural history classification to phenomena as short-lived as clouds, Howard arrived at an elegant solution to the problem of naming transitional forms in nature.
In addition to his seminal work on clouds, Howard contributed numerous papers on other meteorological topics, although with less success. He was also a pioneer in urban climate studies, publishing The Climate of London in 1818–20, which contained continuous daily observations of wind direction, atmospheric pressure, maximum temperature, and rainfall; it also demolished James Hutton's theory of rain, though without suggesting a definitive alternative. In it, he was first to note the heat island effect, showing that temperatures in London, compared to those simultaneously measured in the surrounding countryside, were 3.7° warmer at night, and cooler during the day, and to attribute the concentration of smog (which he called 'city fog') to this phenomenon. For Rees's Cyclopædia he contributed articles on Meteorology, but the titles are not known.
Howard's cloud classification had a major influence on the arts as well as on science. His classification of clouds was later adopted by Ralph Abercromby and Hugo Hildebrand Hildebrandsson, who developed and popularised the system laid out by Howard. Abercromby noted in a paper on the naming of clouds that to the Quaker Howard "any name connected with heathen mythology was specially distasteful". Howard corresponded with Goethe, who wrote a series of poems in gratitude to him, including the lines:
Howard also inspired Shelley's poem "The Cloud" and informed John Constable's paintings and studies of skies and the writings and art of John Ruskin, who used Howard's cloud classification in his criticisms of landscape paintings in Modern Painters.
Howard appears in a novel by French writer Stéphane Audeguy titled, La théorie des nuages, winner of the 2005 Prix de l'Académie. Published in the US by Harcourt in 2007 as The Theory of Clouds.
There is an English Heritage blue plaque to Howard at 7 Bruce Grove, Tottenham (the house in which he died, aged 91), on which he is described simply as "Namer of Clouds". The church in Tottenham that he had much involvement with (alongside his son, John Eliot Howard), Brooks Street Meeting House (now Brook Street Chapel) can still be found close to the house, on Tottenham High Road.
His daughter Rachel founded a school in Ackworth, which also contains a Plymouth Brethren burial ground.

For over three decades, Ozwald Boateng has been revolutionising menswear fashion with new and original aesthetics from Savile Row culture mixed with an international flair, attention to detail and craftsmanship.
His intuitive use of cut, colours and fabrics blends classic tailoring from British tradition with high-end styling to suit an entire new generation of modern men.
Ozwald was born in London to a family of Ghanaian descent. His interest for fashion and design came when he was just a young student; he decided to drop out of the computing course he was studying and started a fashion career at Southgate College.
Inspiration came from his family environment and his parents' culture and tradition. He designed and created his very first clothing collection using his mother's sewing machine. He later sold the collection to menswear shop Sprint, in Covent Garden, London.
Ozwald's designs have been featured in a number of series and films, and he has personally dressed figures such as Will Smith, Daniel Day Lewis and Jamie Foxx for public appearances.
Ozwald has received a wide number of awards, including Best Menswear Designer (1996), British Fashion Award (2000) and an OBE by The Queen (2006). He was appointed Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2007 and received a Veritas Award from Harvard in 2014.
To celebrate the Centenary of British Airways in 2019, Ozwald has been tasked with reimagining the uniforms for their 32,000 worldwide uniform wearing employees. "I'm looking forward to taking a uniform and refining it into a collection".

It is so hard to believe that Christmas has come to an end and we will be starting a new year. I wanted to make sure that I did one final posting for 2010 of a finish so I worked at completing Christmas Eve by Prairie Schooler. I am very excited with the finish and debating on whether to put this into a box top or just to frame it.
Also, I have not been good on providing any updates on A to Z Snowmen project. We did have our last class at the beginning of the month but due to the holidays and other issues the project got set aside. Before putting it down I did complete Q.
There have been several postings on many different blogs about the 2011 January Challenge. I did think about it and did put together two stitching bags. One contains 15 new kitted projects and the other contains 15 UFOs that are anywhere from 5% complete up to 85% complete. I know that tomorrow I will pull out a new project and start it since that is suppose to be the tradition. After that I am trying to figure out if I switch between the two bags and see if that will work in helping me to complete more projects for 2011. Someone stated on their blog that they completed 58 projects in 2010. WOW, how is that possible. Looking at what I did for 2010 I look like a beginner. Completing three projects and working on the A to Z quilt sounds awful. So, my goal for 2011 is to hit at least 15 projects as the challenge states. This is a huge step for me and will require resourceful use of my free time in doing this. Free time, well that is the other problem. I think I dream more of stitching than I actually do since during my sleep is about all of the free time I have.
We hope your holiday was wonderful and I will leave you with a picture of two doggies that Santa spoiled this year. They had so much fun on Christmas Eve that they fell asleep under the tree even though gifts were still being exchanged and Christmas music was filling the air.
Happy New Year and I am very excited to see what new designs and projects come our way in 2011.

The Glass-Enclosed Nerve Center has a new owner. Local news radio station WTOP has been sold, along with 16 other stations, to Hubbard Broadcasting, Inc., the company announced today.
"The company expects no programming or personnel changes for any of the acquired radio stations subsequent to the transaction," Hubbard Broadcasting said in a press release.
The stations were purchased for $505 million from Bonneville International Corporation, which before the deal owned and operated 31 radio stations in several major cities. Bonneville will continue to run its remaining 14 stations, but CEO Bruce Reese will assume that role for Hubbard.
WTOP is the D.C. area's most popular radio station. The format of WTOP will not change, reporter Paul Farhi told the Washington Post.
