ICI Hopper Wagons
Exclusive wagons produced in partnership with Oxford Rail
Prototype Information
Model Specification
Project Development Updates
Variations Available to Order
Introduced in 1936, ICI required these wagons to transport limestone from quarries in the Peak District to Northwich for the production of various chemicals. This was the first 'block freight' train running multiple times a day with a purpose built wagon to maximise the flow of the goods.
Originally worked by LMS locomotives, in BR days most medium to large steam classes based in the North West were to be used on the flow including everything from the 4F to 9F. Most diesel classes have been recorderd hauling them as well with classes 20, 24, 25, 28, 31, 37, 40, 45 & 47 all being used at some point. The wagons lasted just into the 2000s with the last being scrapped in 2001, being replaced by a mix of new build and re-purposed wagons on flows around the country.

Update on Heavily Weathered Wagons
We have received word that the final delivery of ICI wagons is due within the next few days! This delivery will cover the remaining weathered versions, with the exception of ICI006CW and ICI006DW which are unfortunately no longer going to be produced. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused by this.
If you've not yet ordered your wagons, you can explore the full range HERE.
Please note: If you have an order in place for ICI006CW/ ICI006DW, our team will be in touch to amend your order to an alternative ICI wagon, or to cancel it. If we don't get a response, we will automatically amend your order for one of the other variations coming into stock.
First Lightly Weathered Wagons Released
The first lot of weathered ICI hoppers have now arrived into stock!
Both ICI001BW and ICI002BW are now available. The first variant represents a lightly weathered wagon used between 1936 and the 1950s, whilst the latter would have been used between 1945 and the 1950s. We're really pleased with the realistic weathering effect that has been achieved and we're excited to see big rakes of these 'filthy' wagons on layouts soon!
The remaining weathered wagons are in production and will be received at a later date. We will provide further updates once we have an accurate date for release.
Order yours, HERE.
Pristine ICI Wagons Released
All eight pristine versions of our exclusive OO Gauge ICI Hopper Wagons produced by Oxford Rail have now arrived into stock! The models showcase these heavily used wagons in a variety of conditions from their initial introduction in 1936 right up to the end of their lifespan in 1997. We're very impressed with how the wagons look and perform and we're excited to see huge rakes of them appear on our customers' layouts! The weathered versions have been approved and will be going into production after Chinese New Year.
Click HERE to order your ICI wagons for £24 each.
Updated Weathered Samples Arrive
We have today received an updated sample of one of the weathered variations of the ICI wagons - ICI006DW. We're very impressed with the results here - the grime is faithfully applied, showing the filthy state these wagons ended up in after remaining in frequent use for so many years. This particular model shows an ICI near the end of its lifespan in the late-90s, where the wagons were in very dirty condition. This variation features missing "ICI" lettering but faithfully to the real life wagons, you can just make out where the lettering once was positioned.
We will provide further updates on the manufacturing of the weathered models at the end of the month.
Initial Production Samples Arrive
Today, we have received the first production samples of our ICI Hopper Wagons! The samples show ICI001A and ICI002A, which cover the period from first introduction in 1936 and the first use of the new bogies and larger letters in 1945.
We can now reveal that the following codes will be arriving into stock in early February 2018:
The weathered versions of the ICI wagons will be available at a later date, stay tuned to this page for further information. Click HERE to pre-order your wagons.
Production Sample Photos
ICI001A - 3203 in mid grey body with black underframes and bogies (1936 to 1950s)
ICI002A - 3284 in mid grey body, underframes and bogies (1945 to 1950s)
Remainder of Painted Samples arrive
Today has seen the remainder of the factory painted samples arrive from Oxford Rail. Once again there are a variety of differences with the versions shown including diamond/plate frame bogies as well as small/large ICI lettering. This batch also sees the arrival of the base samples for some of our weathered models.
As you can see, the models that will be released as "heavily weathered" are actually being produced using a brown base coat rather than grey. This is to more accurately reflect how these wagons ended up looking whilst in service. The base versions of the weathered models will now be sent to Mercig Studios who will be producing the weathering masters for this project. These will then be sent back to the factory and used to re-produce the effects for the production models.
As soon as we have more progress to share we will make sure to keep you all informed.

First batch of Painted Samples arrive
Just received in to the office late yesterday was an intriguing package from Oxford Rail. Inside were the first painted samples of our forthcoming OO Gauge ICI Hopper wagons. This first batch includes versions with small/large ICI lettering as well as multiple bogie and axle box types.
We're now in the process of checking these over and will note any ammendments, if necessary, that need to be made which we will then send on to Oxford Rail and the factory.
As ever, we'd love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to let us know what you think so far.

1st Engineering Prototypes arrive
At the recent Warley show we were handed our first samples of the hopper wagons. They look very impressive with lots of rivet detail, a hallmark of the real wagons, and a finely modelled lattice underframe. There are only a couple of small modifications to make before they can move on to the decoration stage (handbrake location on one side and depth of lettering on the wagon sides being the most important).
Colour Layouts Completed
Design Cells received
The design cells have been sent over to us and are shown below. As with the CADs they are a combination of all of the parts to allow us to chop and change as we need, to allow us to create all of the colour layouts. These will be started immediatly and posted as soon as they are complete.
Tooling Approved
We are happy to confirm that CADs have been approved for the first samples to be produced.
Final CAD drawings received
Here's images of the final CADs for the ICI Hoppers. As per our other projects we're keen to hear your thoughts on these before starting to cut metal.
First CAD drawings received
These are the first CADs of the ICI hoppers. We are currently reviewing them but they seem to be very good and measure up well against the drawings we have. There are a few things that need adding or changing (a handbrake wheel is missing on one side for instance) but most things are correct. This only shows the final version with the roller bearings and plate frame bogies but we are getting this version correct before we go on to CAD up the earlier pad bearings and diamond frame bogies.

William Shaddock, The Bill Shaddock Cos.
Bill Shaddock took one of his biggest business risks during the 2008 financial crisis. Shaddock used his strong cash position to expand into new markets and scoop up talent as others floundered. "I continued to aggressively grow while other people were hunkered down," he says.
Based in Plano, the family-owned Bill Shaddock Cos. began in the 1980s with one employee (Bill), and eventually expanded to more than 700 employees and 10 entities, all related to the real estate and mortgage industries. They include Capital Title Co., the state's largest independent title company, and First National Title Insurance Co., the nation's 12th-largest title insurer. Shaddock says he focuses his businesses on building personal relationships, believing consumers do business with people they know, like, and trust. —Kerry Curry

What I'm working on is a ajax based dropdown option form which returns child terms based on the option selected.
When the option is selected, a function is fired using onchange, where the script grabs the term_id and taxonomy of the selected option, and sends both of those to the server.
The server side script I created accepts
$_POST, I have verified that the variables are properly assigned by echoing them back to the client and checking the console logs.
//Include wordpress
require_once( 'wp-config.php' );
require_once( 'wp-includes/wp-db.php' );
$wpdb = new wpdb( DB_USER , DB_PASSWORD , DB_NAME , DB_HOST );
if (isset($_POST)){
$taxID = $_POST[id];
$taxType = $_POST[tx];
else {
echo "Error: invalid data recieved. Please contact the site administrator.";
$termchildren = get_term_children( $taxID, $taxType );
echo '
';
foreach ( $termchildren as $child ) {
$term = get_term_by( 'id', $child, $taxType );
echo '
name, $taxType ) . '">' . $term->name . '
';
echo '
';
The goal of this script is to return some html that I can insert into another element.
- The ID of the element causing issues is
4, which contains a child with ID of
- The taxonomy of the element is
- Passing these values manually does not work either.
- When I echo the
a href I get this error:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in ...
Does anyone have any suggestions? Because quite frankly I'm about to throw my laptop towards the nearest window at this point.

1.03 Schleswig - Brekendorf
Height profile
Stage description
NB: The route described below refers to the old path (up until 2017). The current path no longer takes you through the Westermoor.
This is a lovely stage along enchanting trails. Leaving Schleswig, cross the bridge, follow the south bank of the Schlei for a while before heading south towards Selk. When you get to the Selker Mühle (the old mill in Selk) keep left and follow the signs to the fish pond. The path until Lottorf is identical to the Pilgerweg (pilgrims' way). Don't take a right and follow the signs with the mussels, but go left towards Brekendorf and then turn right. Always stay on this path (there are few marking in this section) until a path turns off to the left. Here you should be able to see a covered bench with a sign for the E1 path. This path leads us along an overgrown trail through Westermoor. Keep going! In the middle of the marsh there a a bush and signpost. From here, the trail is well marked again. At just short of 20km, the stage is not too long and can be managed quite easily.

When I started playing League of Legends, I remember that my first ever champion that I picked was Nautilus. I did fairly well with him in the game, despite not knowing how and what should I be actually doing overall. Then, in the next game I picked Fiddlesticks, as he looked like an interesting champion. I am also a sucker for crowd control abilities, ever since DOTA back in Warcraft III. However, I did not know that certain champions require ability power to work, so I end up thinking that Fiddlesticks is the worst champion ever…
Then came a time when lots of mobile assassins came out and they started being a problem on a mode that I really enjoyed – Dominion! I saw then from a Fiddlesticks player that you can ambush other players, regardless of how much they are ahead or good at the game and obliterate them with a perfectly timed ult. Truly, this scarecrow can be an ideal assassin, as long as you are on the right place at the right time.
Then, people started playing him support, mainly because Corki was really good ADC on bot lane, at the time. I was curious and tried him a few times, but another champion had my attention back then, that being Lulu. I just liked double killing the enemy bot lane constantly, since Lulu was pretty strong early on. That's it really. My whole experience as a support main player revolves around the idea of just running around the map and murdering people. My warding system changed from one that could prevent me and my ADC from ganks to one where I would actively ward the enemy jungle and seek opportunities to go and murder people who casually walk through it carefree, thinking that they are in their safety bubble.
A fresh start is always a good thing. Perhaps I've been too harsh in the past on the game, but if anything, I would blame life itself that has been harsh on me. After spending almost 7 years on this game, I feel like I should do something with it. Like get a high mastery score or something. I'm not sure yet, but I'll do my best! No more bad attitude, no more complains about Master Yi doing over 1000 true damage with few auto atatcks! I will still be upset about Renekton being the destroyer of fun in the top lane. I'm sad that Banner will be removed for a time being. I had a fun week where I sent promoted minion as a Fiddlesticks support to a Singed lane. The minion actually killed Singed as he was fighting my Maokai ally. I've never seen something like that before. I feel like that Singed has been gutted quite a lot and he struggles enough against lots of champions, especially those who have range or are of crocodile origin.
What you are going to hear from people who are to lane alongside with Fiddlesticks support is – Don't use E in lane.No! Use E in lane! Having pressure on the enemy duo bot and them being low on HP could usually turn ganks from the enemy jungler into spicy triple kill for your ADC or… you. Either way, Fiddlesticks scales pretty good, not really as much with AP as with utility items and a bit of magic penetration. A free clock is good because you can dive any turret after the 8 minute mark. Future market is the best rune in the game. Who the hell needs sugary treats or minion acid flasks, when every item in the game will be as cheap as 100 to 250 gold less. I don't know. Usually, on my first back, I get upgraded support item and a boot. I can't afford the boot in this case without the rune.
Hell, I don't know if I'll be able to afford dinner tonight…
Thank for reading!

text: For retail the Friday April 7 jobs reports was anything but good. Hiring during March slowed in dramatic fashion, with the U.S. economy adding only 98,000 new jobs or about 50% of the more than 180,000 that economists had forecasted. nike air max 2016 goedkoop It was the weakest jobs report since May of 2016. In addition, the number for both January and February were revised downward by over 38,000 jobs with the economy adding 22,000 less jobs in January than first thought and 16,000 less in February. The lone bright spot on the report was the rate of unemployment that continued dropping. For March, the rate dropped to 4.5% from 4.7% which was its lowest since March of 2007. Economists believe that an unemployment that remains between 4% and 5% should be representative of full employment. March marked the 78th straight month in which jobs grew, the longest stretch since officials records have been kept dating back to 1939. One big trend that has formed in the jobs report is the weakness in the retail sector for jobs. Scarpe Nike Italia During March retail lost over 29,700 jobs, while in February it shrank by 30,000 jobs. It might be considered the effect of e-commerce with Amazon.com at the front of that line or impact from automation, but it was clear with on Friday in the latest report that retail faces a big problem currently and the pain is predicted to continue with more closing of stores and businesses filing for bankruptcy protection. nike air max 2016 goedkope Many are also worried about the possible border tax and how it will affect retailers. Chaussures Nike Most feel retailers will be hit the hardest, especially the apparel retailers due to importing most of their goods. The jobs report also creates questions about whether softer data that shows consumers and businesses feeling optimistic really translates to action. While the average earnings per hour continue to rise, up by 5 cents during March to a current $26.14, the amount that earnings grow by has slowed. Nike Italia Some Wall Street analysts believe the big storm in March along the east coast skewed March's numbers and want to see what happens in April. For example, construction in February gained 59,000 new jobs, but added only 6,000 during March. Analysts want to see if the blizzard slowed hiring or the economy is really slowing.

A problem that I recently came across is when opening a new Internet Explorer instance in C# the user was being required to login to a site that they had already logged in to. It was pretty clear that this was because the existing session was not being used as a new IE process was being started, therefore I surmised that the solution was to utilise the existing process.
I had read previously about the Navigate2 API and thought it may help but it wasn't entirely clear how to use it and specifically how to use it on an existing IE instance, so I feel this blog may help others.

Throwback Thursday is a weekly feature here on Random Thoughts Of A Twenty Something. It is said that a picture can paint a thousand words and I wanted a way of looking back and reflecting on my past whether it be recent or from years gone by. There's something quite intimate and revealing about sharing photographs from our lives and I'm always intrigued about the story behind the lens.
As the summer holidays have ended and the children start a new year at school I often think back to their personal achievements over the years. Learning to ride a bike I think is one of the most memorable skills and occasion many adults look back on their childhood with fond memories. As a parent it definitely fills you with pride when your children take off without any form of stabilising and for me I struck gold when both the eldest two children learnt to ride unaided within a week of each other.
In this image Nevaeh was sat on Elliots bike as the stabilisers had not yet been taken off her own bike so she had been using her elder brothers bike to practice on. The photograph is grainy and the wind was blowing their long hair into their faces but I look back on this day with amazement at how supportive the eldest was when the limelight was suddenly taken away from him as his sister showed off her new found skill that he had spent so long perfecting. They looked so happy and proud at their accomplishments as they posed for the camera on that sunny afternoon a few years ago!
What do you think of my photograph? Don't forget to check back next Thursday to see what image I have chosen to share with you!

Los Angeles – A downtown Los Angeles high-rise proposed for Hope Street that was put on pause due to the economic downtown is back in play.
Officials with Wood Partners, an Atlanta-based firm, announced Friday that they play to move ahead with construction on the all-glass, 22-story apartment tower, reported Los Angeles Downtown News. The developers plan to break ground in September. Leasing is expected to start in the summer of 2014, according to the Downtown News website.
Plans call for the construction of a 290-unit building that would include one- and two-bedroom apartments with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, balconies, a pool deck, a six-floor parking garage, and 5,000 square feet of retail space. The cost of the project has not been released. The site for the project at 801 S. Hope St. is a parking lot now.
Wood Partners bought the parcel in 2008 and planned to build the high-rise then, but delayed construction because of the lagging economy.

Fully Automatic Linux Installation with Kickstart / What is Kickstart in Linux
What is Kickstart?
The kickstart file used to automatic installation Linux operating system multiple computers using a single file method call kickstart.
The kickstart installation method is used to primarily but not exclusively by the Redhat community system to automatically perform unattended OS installation and configuration.
Method 1:-
Step:1 First of all, we need to install a package of kickstart
Package name :- System-config-kickstart
Note:- In any Linux (RHEL) computer automatically generate kickstart file after the installation.
In RHEL kickstart file generate anaconda-ks.cfg . So we also used anaconda-ks.cfg file.
Also, we need to configure
Also, we need to configure apache server To install apache serverDHCP server to install DHCP server
# mv -rf anaconda-ks.
first we rename the file name anaconda-ks.cfg to ks.cfg
Step:2cfg ks.cfg
Note:- you must have root permission to changename
Then we need to copy ks.cfg file into apache document root directory (document root = /var/www/
# cp -rf ks.cfg /var/www/htmlhtml). Default path of anaconda-ks.cfg is /root/.
Then we check file access or not on browser. So go to your favorite browser and type URLStep:3Exm:- 192.168.2.1/ks.cfg
Now we connect client pc through LAN
So now boot client system form CD and will press TAB button after booting from CD then type a command the last line
# inst.ks=http;//192.168.2.1/ks.cfg
NOW Linux os start automatically instakk through ks.cfg file
Method 2:-
Linux (RHEL) computer automatically generate a kickstart file after the installation. If we create a new anaconda-ks.cfg (kickstart) file.
So here is the step to create anaconda-ks.cfg file. We need to install a package to create a file.
# yum install system-config-kickstart
To create a new file run command below.
# system-config-kickstart
Press enter here to open a new window of kickstart configuration we need to edit this operation and save the file ks.cfg name.
Then Copy ks.cfg file to apache document root directory (/var/www/html)
Then we start the same process that used method 1.

Apple to begin rolling out two iPhone devices per year
Apple is to radically alter its formerly rigid annual product cycles and release new iterations of the iPhone and iPad every six months, an industry analyst has claimed.
In a bid to counteract the influx of new and strongly performing Android smartphones and tablets, Apple is reportedly to do away with its former annual refresh plans instead opting to update its market leading iPhone and iPad devices twice a year, Adnaan Ahmed of the Berenberg Bank in Germany has suggested.
Despite being launched almost a year ago, Apple's iPhone 4 handset recently became the best selling phone ever with Apple shifting 18.65 million iPhones during the opening quarter of this year suggesting its current annual product update is working.
With Apple having scrapped its annual refresh of the iPhone in failing to unveil the iPhone 4's successor at WWDC last week with focus now shifting to a September arrival, Ahmen, who also predicts Apple will unveil a new budget iPhone, could see his claims come to light later this year.
Will Apple start releasing two iPhone handsets per year or are Ahmed's predictions wide of the mark? Let us know what you think via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds.

I hear so many people complaining about my previous Scotland trips. "I can't get away to fly overseas," they say. "I don't like being in a plane that long," they say. "The weather there is so lousy," they say.
Well, Mr. Strawman I just created, maybe you can't get to Scotland (shut up all of you who already live there), but you can probably get to Kentucky.
My drinking friends and I went to Louisville and visited bourbon distilleries. This was my second trip there (their third), so we tried to find stuff that could not be easily obtained at home.
From left to right we have:
- Willett 12 year Single Barrel. Only available at the distillery
- Evan Williams Single Barrel 2006. Not terribly hard to find, but I like it and my local liquor store has stopped carrying it. It is pretty much the only thing I like out of Heaven Hill.
- Wild Turkey Single Barrel. Also not very hard to find, but the liqor store we were at had selected their own barrel and it was on sale for a good price.
- Bulleit Barrel Strength. Only available in Kentucky.
- Blade and Bow. Somewhat hard to find in my area and I had tried it the night before.
- Precinct 6 Sour Mash. Hard to find, but technically not bourbon. It must violate one of the rules. From Limestone Branch distillery which you may have seen on the reality TV show Moonshiners. I had not.
That last bottle is signed by the master distiller, Steve Beam. Half the people in the bourbon business in Kentucky are named Beam. Yes, they are all related. Don't even try to make jokes, they'll do it for you. "In Kentucky, you are allowed to ask if two people are related. You just aren't allowed to ask how."
Louisville is a nice little city with a pretty vibrant restaurant scene. We ate very well. It is only 300 miles from Chicago so we drove (no limit on how much you can bring back!) and stopped in Indianapolis for lunch. Our Californian contrived some business the day before, flew in and met us. Bardstown and Lexington are nice stops as well. This was a fun trip and I recommend it. Also, the accents are slightly easier to understand than in Scotland.

At St Cuthbert's, we maintain an open, warm and welcoming atmosphere, creating a sense of belonging for every child in our care.
We forge positive relationships amongst students, staff, parents and other stakeholders, looking to benefit all emotionally, spiritually and academically.
When a student joins in Year 7, they become a member of one of our four houses: Faith, Dignity, Unity and Hope. They stay within this house during their time at St Cuthbert's.
Each Year group is managed by a Head of Year in conjunction with an Assistant Head of Year and a team of Form Tutors.
Within these structures, students are given opportunities to develop their leadership and team-working skills, from delivering whole school and year group assemblies and taking part in School Council, to taking part in charitable activities, such as raising money for local food banks and elderly residential homes. A buddy system sees older students mentoring younger students.
Students are also encouraged to put themselves forward to become members of the Senior Team; prized positions of responsibility for students in Year 11.
Unity House
Motto: 'Aspire to be more not to have more'
Dignity House
Motto: 'Make yourself proud'
Hope House
Motto: 'Do small things with great heart'
Faith House
Motto: 'Putting others first'


text: Before I started the acupuncture treatments, I had been to several doctors and no one really knew what was wrong with me. I had numbness and pain down my whole right side including my head, neck, arms, lower back, and legs to my toes. The acupuncture worked almost immediately! I felt relief and less pain. The numbness went away until I was back to normal, and this all happened in 4 sessions. I was also extremely fatigued and run down and Wendy brought back a spark to my personality and energy level that had been missing for some time. It was all just finding the right balance. I strongly recommend acupuncture for all!

Commuting weather
It's been really good commuting weather the last few day. Cool mornings requiring a light jacket and evening temps in the mid to upper 70's.
There were quite a few bikes out this morning and none of the riders had helmets or any type of bike clothing. They ride on the sidwalks, on the wrong side of street and weaving in and out of traffic to avoid having to wait their turn to cross or turn or whatever. The problem is that they are not highly skilled or experienced riders. They are all around 35-40 and it seems like they are riding like they did when they were 14.
The camera has been stuck in the handlebar bag. Bike hypnosis has been setting in lately and lots of good shots have been missed. Thats the down side of a routine hour long bike commute. The upside is the extra hour of sleep. And the view.
Finally this thanks to Jamie in Columbus

Wow, that's fantastic. It's been hot as hell here, and it's getting old. The heat is about to break, but we're headed to the south. I don't care, though, I can't wait to get away for a while.ReplyDelete
I see cyclists like that all the time, and when we return, IU students will be everywhere, and they are just awful cyclists, in general -- completely unpredictable and distracted by iPods.

In Texas, the law refers to child custody as "conservatorship." Texas child custody laws are in compliance with the Uniform Child Custody Act, which seeks to minimize child custody conflicts that involve more than one state.
When it comes to custody cases, parents may choose to file a parenting plan (a proposed custody and/or visitation schedule) with the court. If parents do not submit a parenting plan, the court will decide on a custody arrangement for the parties. As with most other states, Texas courts are required to consider the child's own wishes when making a custody determination. In addition, the court also considers a number of other factors, including:
Learn more about Texas child custody laws in the table below. See How Child Custody Decisions are Made for additional information.
Code Section
Fam. 153. 005 et seq.
Year Uniform Child Custody Act Adopted
Joint Custody an Option?
Yes, Fam. §153.003 Joint Managing Conservator
Grandparent Visitation Rights Recognized?
Yes, Fam. 153.433
Child's Own Wishes Considered?
Note: State laws are constantly changing -- contact a Texas child custody attorney or conduct your own legal research to verify the state law(s) you are researching.

You can also learn more about the topic in general, by browsing FindLaw's section on child custody which contains information on related issues such as: types of child custody, custody mediation, parenting agreements, visitation rights, visitation schedules, paternity, and grandparents' rights.

Your Academy staff is awaiting publication of the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule proposed rule which is expected to coincide with the July 4th holiday. This year, AAPM&R has been actively engaging in ongoing dialogue with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to fight for fair valuation of physiatry services. In March, AAPM&R leadership and staff met with CMS to discuss payment accuracy for services provided to patients with mobility impairment. A G code was approved for these services in the 2017 fee schedule, however value was not assigned to the code. We anticipate that a value may be assigned for this service in the upcoming proposed rule. Further, AAPM&R physician representatives have attended numerous meetings of the AMA Relative Value Scale Update Committee and CPT Editorial Panel over the past year. Recommendations from the Committee and Panel are provided to CMS for consideration in their rulemaking process. The Academy will notify members upon publication of the proposed rule and, as in previous years, we will submit comments to the rule on behalf of the field.

I heard an ad the other day about some kind of cancer medicine. The woman said something like, "You could be home the day after chemotherapy to be with your support systerm." I thought, "Why don't you say, 'with your family and friends'?"
We have a tendency to impersonalize our relationships. Another example is the phrase, "wisdom figure." We can't bring ourselves to say, "He is a wise man." We have to say, "He is a wisdom figure." I suppose this is the influence of Jungean psychology.
Jesus was not a "wisdom figure." He was a wise man--with the wisdom of God, which was a stumbling block for the Jews and folly to the Greeks.

This list of TopYaps includes top 10 famous presidents of America, best known for shaping the destiny of their country as well as making the term "United States" a synonym of power and progress. We've thoroughly reviewed and analyzed each President's historical influence and actions while in office.
1. Dwight David Eisenhower (1890 to 1969)
Born in Texas in 1890, this 34th President of United States was once the supreme commander of the allied forces in Europe during WW II. Eisenhower focused on establishing the world peace (despite the Korean conflict) and created an example of a non-partisan approach to politics. He will be remembered for declaring racial discrimination as a national security issue according to which Communists around the world were using racial discrimination in the U.S. as a point of propaganda attack.
2. James Madison (1751 to 1836)
Also known as the "Godfather of The Constitution", this political philosopher was the 4th president of the United States of America. A key figure in the formation of the Bill of Rights, Madison readily recognized that power leads to distrust, stating that "The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted." The main feature of Madison's time in Congress was his work to restrain the power of the federal government.
3. John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917 to 1963)
Popularity and performance are very different things, and most historians would argue that it is too soon to have a good historical perspective through which to analyze Kennedy's performance as 35th President. Events during his administration such as the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, the African American Civil Rights Movement and early stages of the Vietnam War are sufficient to justify his position in this list.
4. Woodrow Wilson (1856 to 1924)
Wilson was admired as a writer, a scholar, and an educator more than two decades before he became the 28th president of the United States of America. He spent twenty-four years working in the academic world as a professor, then as a college president, before he was elected governor of New Jersey. Wilson's idealistic internationalism "Wilsonianism" which calls the United States to enter in the world to fight for democracy, has been a contentious position in American foreign policy.
5. Theodore Teddy Roosevelt (1858 to 1919)
Headed in the direction of genius at political leadership, he was the 26th president of America. He brought new excitement and power to the Presidency, as he vigorously led Congress and the American public toward progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy. His conservationism and willingness to take on big business are examples of why he is considered to be one of the influential presidents in America's history.
6. Andrew Jackson (1767 to 1845)
Surrounded by myth and image, this 7th president of America is a compact symbol representing the ideology of an entire generation. Jackson exemplified the common man, the farmer politician, military prowess and democracy for his time. Nicknamed as "Old Hickory", Jackson was famous for winning the Battle of New Orleans against the British and pretty much ending any Indian threat in the South.
7. Thomas Jefferson (1743 to 1826)
A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit. Jefferson was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence and the third president of the United States of America. As a political philosopher, Jefferson is the only president to serve two full terms in office without vetoing a single bill of Congress. Jefferson has been consistently ranked by scholars as one of the most famous presidents of America.
8. Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882 to 1945)
Crippled by polio, FDR was the 32nd president of the United States of America. Roosevelt launched major legislation and a profusion of executive orders that gave form to the New Deal—a complex, interlocking set of programs designed to produce relief (especially government jobs for the unemployed), recovery (of the economy), and reform (through regulation of Wall Street, banks, and transportation).
9. George Washington (1732 to 1799)
A legend in the classic sense, he was the first president of the United States and a major figure in the establishment of the US, during and following the Revolutionary War. He is known as one of the Founding Fathers of the country. As a President, Washington established the framework of the national executive branch. He oversaw the work to build a new national capital, and it was named Washington D.C. in his honor.
1. Abraham Lincoln (1809 to 1865)
Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing. Serving as the 16th president of the United States, Lincoln carried out many vital endeavors. His greatest accomplishment, without a doubt, was the initiation of 'Emancipation Proclamation'. Lincoln has consistently been ranked by scholars as one of the greatest of all U.S. Presidents.

Is there anything quite as luxe as old-school Hollywood glamour? Probably not! The style was pioneered by icons such as Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor – women just as relevant today as there were back then. It makes us think of a glitzy showbiz era that today's modern industry can't quite manage to live up to. Perhaps it is this dreamy nostalgia that draws us to it, in a way. But unlike many other fashions, the style of 1950s America is still one that can be used today. Part of the beauty of it is that it is classy, timeless, and the styles and shapes suit women of nearly every size. Around this time of year, party seasons tends to be in full swing – so with that in mind, there's never been a better time to experiment with vintage glam!
Image source
The 1950s was all about creating a womanly silhouette. Don't worry if you're not the skinniest gal out of all your friends. Old-school clothing caters for and celebrates a fuller figure as well as a slim one – after all, Marilyn herself was a beautiful size 12 to 14 for most of her career. If you want to emulate one of the biggest sex-symbols of all time this winter, it's all about creating that hourglass figure. Opt for an A-line skirt that nips you in at the waist. If the skirt itself isn't enough to do that with, the solution is easy – just pop a belt around your middle instead. The belt and skirt will nip you in at your smallest point, with the skirt underneath kicking out so you're not sucked in too tight. If you're feeling brave, pair with a low cut top and a pair of killer heels. You can either go full-on with the 50s theme by embracing satin and polka dots, but it's just as easy to modernize the trend too with contemporary patterns.
Delicate, classy jewelry was the perfect way to accessorize your look in the golden era of Hollywood. Silver was a popular choice, and the key to nailing the look was to be mindful to not go overboard with too much bling. A statement necklace was paired with smaller earrings, and vice versa. Aside from waterfall-style silver jewelry, pearl earrings were among the most popular choices for women. Able to be dressed up or down, they are just as classy now as they were then. You can choose to pair them with a matching necklace, or to let them do the talking on their own.
The secret to glamourous, retro hair is that it's all in the bounce! Hair was rarely grown past shoulder length – so if you fancy a whole new look for the new season, why not consider going for the chop? Shorter hair weights less than longer hair, meaning it is able to retain bounce and curl without it being weighed down. Invest in a set of rollers to get a luxurious curly style a la Marilyn; or you can even achieve a similar look using bobby pins. Finish with a touch of hairspray and you're good to go!

Since he was a child Helge Knickmeier had bad allergies to pollen and household cleaning products. In 2009 he stumbled upon the study by Dr. Wolverton ""Interior Landscape Plants for Indoor Air Pollution Abatement", a study that was commissioned by NASA. He discussed the studies with Horst Meißner and Karsten Kleeberg (who are they, why are their names relevant) , but his search for a flower pot that ventilated the roots of indoor plants was not successful.
Alexander v. Bismarck commissions Horst Meißner und Karsten Kleeberg to develop a flower pot, that can incorporate the research results of the NASA study. In the same year patent applications for the newly developed flower pot are filed in multiple countries.
At the same time Helge Knickmeier is researching air purification through indoor plants at his home in Spain.
Image: Kai Pohlmann, Peer-Arne Böttcher and Helge Knickmeier.
In 2005 Helge sold his business in Spain and registered Green Innovation Systems GmbH. At the same time he filed patents for his own development of a flower pot that ventilates the roots of plants.
Together with Alexander v. Bismark, Prof. Günter Irmler and Phillip Graf von Hardenberg they register a new entity, the BIKH Lizenz GbR als Patenverwaltungsgesellschaft to commercialize both flower pot patents.
A third patent, which improves on the design of the second patent, which optimises the design is registered worldwide. This design is sold under the name PolluSan – System in Germany.
BIKH Lizenz GbR licenses the patents to IrconTrade GmbH, owned by Prof. Irmler and Graf Hardenberg in 2007. Graf Hardenberg is looking for licensing partners to commercialise the patents.
The sole licensor, Eric von Porthan, fell ill shortly after starting to commercialise the product through his company Vitalizer Deutschland GmbH and was not able to continue.
Since all other shareholders were preoccupied with other ventures, the patents remained unused until 2013.
In the meantime Helge and his partner Horst Meißner had built a business manufacturing and selling irrigation hoses out of recycled tires. Helge left that business to focus the marketing of the patented Polusan flower pot.
BIKH Lizenz GbR licenses all patents to Green Innovation Systems GmbH. Green Innovations started selling Pollusan products on Jan 15, 2014 in Germany. Sales commenced online to test the acceptance of the product with comsumers through analytical tools, product reviews and user comments.
In the spring of 2014 Helge Knickmeier met Peer Arne Böttcher.
Peer-Arne Böttcher buys all patents from BIKH Lizenz GbR and registers AIRY GreenTech GmbH with his partners Helge Knickmeier and Kai Pohlmann.
Next steps: AIRY Systems plans to grow twofold
The first step is to digitalize the existing flower pot systems. Sensors in the soil will provide feedback to the consumers about the well-being of the plant. The consumer will be able to access the data at any time on the smartphone.
It is our desire to demonstrate that the air quality inside the house is improved through the use of the AIRY pot system. In order to achieve that we will as our second step develop air quality sensors that can monitor the pollutants and provide feedback to the consumer about the changing air quality of the surroundings.

Modern thin-film-transistor-driven twisted nematic (TN) products on the market require thin cell gaps below the value to satisfy the condition of the Gooch–Tarry first minimum in transmission for fast response times and wide viewing angles. For the first time to our knowledge, we have developed a simple experimental method based on a new configuration of out-of-plane cell rotation and analyzed our data by extended Jones matrix method to obtain accurate pretilt angles for such thin TN cells where the well-accepted configuration of the out-of-plane cell rotation method analyzed by Birecki and Kahn [The Physics and Chemistry of Liquid Crystal Devices (1980), p. 115] was insufficient to address.
