Internal Profiling: Non-Contact Machining – Wire Erosion EDM
Non-contact machining is an essential machining process in the manufacture of precision components. Often used within industries such as aerospace, aerospace engine, aviation & airline manufacturing, satellite manufacture & energy sector machining, wire erosion is a non-contact, non destructive machining process which is perfect for the machining of complex prismatic components.
Hole Cutting: Non-Contact Machining – Wire Erosion EDM
EDM hole cutting is ideal for the formation of precise holes – as part of an AS9100 precision component manufacturing process and the production of world-class components. Avoiding material distortion on conductive metals, alloys and composites, wire erosion uses electrical discharges pulsed through a wire to erode material, accurately. The process is perfect for attaining and retaining material strength and integrity throughout the EDM machining process.
Intricate Apertures & Galleries: Non-Contact Machining – Wire Erosion EDM
Wire erosion comes into it's own when intricate internal profiling is required. Ideal for close tolerance machining of small and intricate holes, apertures, galleries and profiles, wire erosion electrical discharge machining is perfect for aerospace, satellite manufacture and energy market components where quality and component integrity cannot be compromised.
Hardened & Difficult-To-Machine Materials: Non-Contact Machining – Wire Erosion EDM
Due the non-contact nature of electrical discharge machining, wire erosion EDM is highly suitable for the machining of difficult-to-machine components. It may be the case that 5-axis machined components require post-5 axis machining hardening processes, such as heat and chemical treatments. Post hardening, wire erosion EDM is the machining process of choice for the task of machining the final operation of hole cutting, aperture machining and internal profiling – which may prove challenging with traditional machining methods.
Similarly, exotic materials such as Titanium alloys can prove challenging when machining small & intricate detail. Wire Erosion EDM fills the gap here to machine perfect, close tolerance details as a final operation, prior to finishing and inspection.

Culture Express –What's your superpower?
写稿:毛誉雯一审:周启航 二审:陈扬扬播音:周启航、毛誉雯剪辑:周启航
D: Hello, and welcome to today's Culture Express. I'm Dionysus.
S: And I'm Sherry. So Dionysus, the subject of today's show is superheroes! Who's your favourite?
D: Spiderman. He's cool and funny – and he can spin webs and jump off skyscrapers!
S: Well, my favourite superhero is Ms Marvel.
D: I've never heard of her – and I'm a bit on an expert on comic book superheroes.
S: Well, a growing number of people from ethnic backgrounds are getting bored of all these white male superheroes they can't relate to. And they're hungry for characters a little closer to home – or relevant to their own lives.
D: So what's Ms Marvel's super power?
S: She's a shape shifter – which means she can change shape and become anything she wants. But she's also just Kamala Khan, an average teenager from New Jersey, who happens to be Asian and a Muslim.
D: It sounds good. Now, I have another question. What are the rules for achieving superhero status? Superman is an alien, Ms Marvel has alien genes, and Spiderman and the Hulk are both contaminated – or poisoned – by radioactive substances that change their DNA.
S: What about Batman and Iron Man? They're just ordinary guys with a lot of money who use technology to create superpowers for themselves.
D: Good point. There don't seem to be any hard-and-fast – or clear – rules. But these special powers – whether it's being able to fly, or change shape, or spin webs – they allow the characters to do good in the world. And that's a big theme across all comic books.
S: That's true. But times have changed, and comic books these days often blur the line between right and wrong – making things unclear. Superheroes don't always do the right thing and struggle with everyday problems like you and me.
D: So publishers – like Marvel Comics – imbued – or filled – their characters with human problems. I can't imagine a character like Captain America worrying about small things – or bickering with his wife!
S: And bickering means arguing about things that aren't important. Well, like you said earlier, times change, Neil. These days, the publishing houses want to attract a more diverse – or varied – readership: teenagers, women, ethnic minorities – who want superheroes they can relate to, facing issues from racial discrimination to bickering at home.
D: I know that women are indeed interested in superheroes because they've been appearing in movies and on TV, but the world of comic books has always been a bit of a guy thing.
S: Well, it isn't. Women read them and in some places women work in them. In Japan for example, we have the manga – these are Japanese comic books for adults and children. And, guess what – there is a strong tradition of female illustrators there.
D: Really?
S:Yes, that's ture. Ok ,so this is the end of today's culture express. See you next week.

I fear having a hip operation gave me sciatica, says Jenni Murray
'I was very frightened the first time I had sciatica, in 2008,' said Jenni Murray
Stepping into the bath earlier this year — not long after Christmas — I felt a searing pain roar through my right buttock, then, as I put my right foot down, it felt numb, as if the whole of my right leg was too weak to hold me up.
My heart sank.
It was back — the sciatica I thought I'd managed to cure six years ago.
I warned the dogs there'd be no chance of a walk this morning. They'd have to make do with the garden.
I tried to stay cheery, without much success, as I struggled to shower, dress and haul myself downstairs to let them out. I sat at the table and burst into tears.
I was very frightened the first time I had sciatica, in 2008.
It struck soon after I'd had breast cancer and both hips replaced.
The hip problem was the result of a condition called avascular necrosis — where the cells in the bone and surrounding cartilage are starved of blood and start to deteriorate.
Although there can be a number of causes, chemotherapy is sometimes a factor.
My fear was that such a sharp pain around my lower back and down through the sciatic nerve could mean my nasty cancer cells had gone walkabout into my spine.
Sciatica can, in rare cases, be caused by cancer in the spine that presses on the nerve, so — having just been through the treatment — that was my first route of investigation.
I had a scan, which, to my huge relief, showed no sign of cancer cells, but there was evidence of compression in the discs in my lower back — most probably the result of years of indulging in the only sport I've ever really enjoyed, horse-riding, and the wear and tear of my 58 years.
A slipped disc or squashed-up ones like mine are common causes of the painful pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Visiting an osteopath made no appreciable improvement — in fact the pain got rather worse than better.
I had to bring out the crutches I'd used before the hip replacement (smart black ones — you can't let your sense of style go during these difficult periods) and went to my oncologist for advice on how I could restore my mobility.
Epidural cortisone injections were his answer. The steroid is introduced into the epidural area around the spine and into the sciatic nerve to calm any inflammation, which is the root of the pain.
He recommended a pain specialist at The Christie cancer hospital in Manchester, where I'd had my cancer treatment.
Epidural cortisone injections: The steroid is introduced into the epidural area around the spine and into the sciatic nerve to calm any inflammation, which is the root of the pain
The jabs could, he said, be done in a day. They would have to be carried out in a sterile theatre environment to avoid infecting my spine, and I wouldn't be fully anaesthetised but sedated, so someone would have to pick me up afterwards.
I had a couple of weeks waiting for the appointment, unable to feel comfortable walking, sitting, standing or lying down.
It was simply there all the time — now a dull ache in the buttock, now a stabbing sensation, now a kind of numb tingling down the affected leg — and my lower back felt stiff, as though it would never want to bend again.
The pain was so bad I would, frankly, have preferred toothache or even childbirth.
I'm wary about taking strong painkillers, as I'm worried about becoming dependent. I settled for the anti-inflammatory ibuprofen and took it every four hours. It made very little difference.
The result of the jabs, though, was spectacular. The pain was gone completely. No matter what I did — sit, stand, walk, lie down — there wasn't so much as a twinge.
My pain specialist made another suggestion, too.
One of my legs was fractionally shorter than the other since the hip replacements. That meant those squashed-up discs had another problem to deal with.
It was the right leg that was shorter, so I was constantly leaning slightly to the right, increasing the pressure on the offending nerve.
She thought that I should see a podiatrist, have my gait checked and possibly a prosthesis in my shoe to even out the imbalance.
It wasn't very elegant having to wear flat shoes with a moulded lump in the heel, and I had occasional lapses of something smarter, but there's no doubt the balancing of my steps helped relieve any stress on my spine.
I walked and even sat straighter, and no longer felt that slight pressure on the right-hand side.
I started a series of exercises in the hope I could improve the movement in my lower back and prevent any recurrence.
I took up Pilates and did a series of daily back-strengthening movements that I found on the NHS website under sciatica.
Of course, that early wild enthusiasm for daily physical jerks soon became less frequent and, as I was suffering no pain, there was no prompt to get down and get on with it.
Maybe if I'd kept it up with the same degree of dedication I'd had at the outset, I wouldn't have been in the mess I'm in now, as a result of as simple a task as climbing into a bath.
And, then, of course I haven't kept to the advice I was given about getting up and standing up more.
Like so many of us, I have a pretty sedentary lifestyle. I spend hours in front of a computer and take the car more often than I should.
I should be getting up and walking around every hour when I'm working, and standing in the kitchen rather than perching on a stool, and taking the dogs for a walk rather than flopping on the sofa.
This time around, I've been surprised at the number of people who've spotted me limping in search of a chair or grimacing with pain and have said, 'Oh, is it sciatica? I get that — it's awful.'
The result of the jabs was spectacular. The pain was gone completely. No matter what I did — sit, stand, walk, lie down — there wasn't so much as a twinge
Even The Archers' Brian Aldridge has been laid up with it.
I was all for a repeat performance of the cortisone injections when my son — isn't it annoying when they feel they have the right to give you advice? — put a doubt in my mind.
'Don't just cover up the pain, Mum. You shouldn't have more of those jabs. I've seen rugby players who relied on them, and they're completely crippled by the time they're 40. It's better to cure it with physio and exercise.'
I fear he may be right about the steroids.
Another friend, who'd been through sciatica herself, mentioned acupuncture and claimed that over a series of 12 treatments it had cured her completely.
I made an appointment. The treatment would comprise massage, cupping and acupuncture and would cost £55 a session. The practitioners were qualified doctors, trained in Western and Chinese medicine in China.
The massage was deep and painful, hitting the spot every time. The cupping felt strange — small, warm glass cups were pressed into the skin all over the back, left for 20 minutes and removed, making a popping sound.
Then there were the needles — painlessly inserted around the back and left in place, again for 20 minutes.
So far, I've been twice. The pain was easier immediately after the first one, but got worse as the week went on.
After the second treatment, I walked more easily and the relief lasted longer. I'm going to stick with it.
I'm also going to join a class where an unfamiliar form of exercise is taught. It's called Feldenkrais and was invented in Israel by an engineer who was also a judo expert.
He worked out a series of movements based on the engineering of the body. It forces you to move your spine in every direction.
So, for now, I'm giving complementary medicine and exercise a go.
My course of acupuncture will continue for another ten weeks. I can just about get around, so I'll try to grit my teeth at whatever pain remains.
Meanwhile, I've asked my GP for a referral note for the purveyor of steroid jabs. Just in case.

In the market for an iPhone? Here's a breakdown of all the currently shipping iPhones from Apple.
Apple's U.S. iPhone User Base Sees Slowing Growth in Q1 2019
As of March 30, 2019, the U.S. iPhone use base hit 193 million units, compared to 189 million units at the end of the December quarter, marking two percent growth quarter over quarter.
Apple's iPhone user base was at 173 million units at the end of the March 2018 quarter, for year over year growth of 12 percent, which is not bad, but not quite hitting the growth rates of prior years.
A year ago, the installed iPhone user base in the U.S. grew four percent quarter over quarter and 19 percent compared to the prior year, indicating a plateau iPhone user base.
"The US installed base of iPhones continues to plateau," said Josh Lowitz, CIRP Partner and Co-Founder. "Relative to the most recent quarters, and especially to the past two or three years, slowing unit sales and longer ownership periods means that the growth in the number of US iPhones has flattened considerably. Of course, 12% growth in a year, after years of much greater growth is still good. However, investors grew accustomed to quarterly growth of 5% or more, and annual growth of almost 20%. This continuing trend prompts investors to wonder if iPhone sales outside of the US will compensate, and places greater pressure on Apple's determination to sell other products and services to the installed base of iPhone owners."CIRP's estimated U.S. iPhone installed base is based on estimated worldwide iPhone sales of 39 million, calculated from Apple's iPhone revenue and average iPhone selling price for the quarter ending in March 2019.
iPhone sales have slowed down, and in January, the decline in sales over the holiday period led Apple to make the rare move of lowering its expected revenue guidance. Apple also saw a dip in revenue in the second fiscal quarter (first calendar quarter) of 2019, bringing in $58 billion, compared to $61.1 billion in the year-ago quarter.
Apple has never provided a specific breakdown of the number of active devices in the United States, but earlier this year, the company said there were 1.4 billion active devices around the world. 900 million of those devices are iPhones.

That means roughly 70% of the phone buying population in the US owns an iPhone.That's not a conclusion that you can reach based on the data provided. It would be like saying Apple has over a billion active devices worldwide therefore they have over a billion users worldwide.
What app?
"What's App"
"That's what I asked, what app?"
"I just told you - What's App"
"Now look, what's the name of the app that caused your phone to heat up?"
cc: Abott and Costello
For the average consumer, what does Apple have that the competition sorely lacks nowadays? Having FaceID did not make consumers switch to an iPhone. My phone does not have the feature, but if it did it will be the first thing to disable/bypass. A passcode is more secure than a thumbprint or FaceID. Think about it for a minute!
For the average consumer:
1. iOS
2. Tight integration/sharing data between Apple iOS/macOS/watchOS/tvOS apps.
3. Outstanding premium devices that many millions of satisfied repeat customers are willing to open their wallets and purchase year after year after year.
4. Excellent and highly rated customer service.
5. Frequent software updates.
6. Apple placing high regard on privacy and security.
7. Various Apple services that work well with devices.
8. Apple Stores.
9. Relatively decent resale value.
That's just a few that quickly come to mind.
Is anyone really surprised that people are upgrading less frequently? My previous employer supplied me with a new iPhone every year at it's release (we tested iPhone accessories)... I stopped upgrading at the 7 Plus, and have been using that model since it's release. It's worked fine and pretty much has met my needs since then... about the only complaint is the battery could be replaced at this point. This is the first year though since the 7 Plus that I've considered upgrading, and that's really more because I'd like to have the new upcoming camera...
Bolded: I was just saying that above, that it's not a surprise at all consumers are not upgrading, why would they need to when their current smart phone does everything they require and more? It's not the technology isn't necessarily compelling, it's the price points that is suffocating the technology that the consumer doesn't find interesting. Those are all mutually exclusive tangents affecting smart phone sales.

Updates – Path and Loan
I asked the planning department about whether there had been an extension to the time allowed for closure of the Donich Circular path. It had been a condition of the original planning permission that it would only be closed for three months (and this time period has now expired) unless application was made for an extension. The response was received promptly as below – it is rather a shame that we needed to ask rather than the community being proactively informed about it.
Through negotiation as part of the process of discharging the conditions of planning permission, it was agreed with Hydroplan that the footpath (in grey on the attached plan) would be closed for 6 months rather than 3 months (as stated in condition 3). The terms of condition 3 allows for some flexibility; specifically "unless as may otherwise be agreed in writing with the Planning Authority." This flexibility is applied to certain planning conditions where the principle of the proposal is acceptable (the temporary footpath closure in this case) and where there may be a degree of uncertainty around the detail at the time of making a decision on the planning application (the duration of the footpath closure in this case).
Hydroplan estimated a 3 month closure during the consideration of the planning application but once the contractors were on site, they advised Hydroplan that a timescale of 6 months was more realistic to allow the installation of the pipeline and to ensure a good standard of restoration for the footpath. The proper restoration of the footpath is essential and, in considering the extension of time for the footpath closure, we considered it reasonable to afford the contractors the extra time which was requested to ensure this is done properly. Restricting the works to 3 months could have had implications for the standard of work expected and we were not prepared to risk this.
I remember many people commenting at the time that there was no way that the work could be done in three months, so I am not one bit surprised that it is taking six. It also seems an odd feature of planning law that consent can be granted based on a specified condition but that this can then be modified ad hoc without requiring new planning permission.
I also heard back that the loan is not yet settled and work is still pending final agreement with various lawyers. I will report further when I hear more, though I am not holding my breath as everything associated with this process seems to take a very long time to be communicated out.

DATES OF MAIN PHASES, NAME OF ARCHITECT: 13th century. Major restoration 1879-81 by Ewan Christian.
MATERIALS: Flint and Bognor tone, much of it cobble stones, with ashlar dressings. Red clay tile roofs. Shingled spire.
PLAN: Nave, chancel, N and S aisles, W tower, N organ chamber/chapel with small vestry to N, N porch.
EXTERIOR: The most striking feature is the 13th-century W tower and its massive buttresses to the N, W and S faces. Seen from the W they make the tower look much wider than it actually is. They terminate in large offsets about the levels of the bases of the miniscule, single-light lancet openings of the bell-stage. A W doorway (now blocked) is sandwiched tightly between the two W buttresses. The tower is crowned by a shingled, splay-foot spire which has small openings in the cardinal directions and in line with the tops of the corner chamfers. The nave and aisles are under continuous roofs but with those over the aisles having a shallower pitch than that on the nave. The chancel, although as wide as the nave, has a lower roof ridge. The N organ chamber/chapel has its own gabled roof. The fenestration of the church is varied and is very largely new or renewed work from the late 19th-century restoration. The graded triple lancets of the E window are a new design of c1880. The date of 1880 (1881 on the S aisle) is recorded on a number of cast-iron hopper heads along with the initials SMM (the architect for the restoration, Ewan Christian, often used such dated rainwater goods). The N porch, with a timber superstructure, on low stone walls dates from the 19th century.
INTERIOR: The walls are all plastered and whitened. On each side of the nave is a 13th-century arcade of five bays, with double-chamfered arches and with the piers being alternately round and octagonal with moulded capitals (unusually, circular even over the octagonal piers) and bases with angle spurs. The responds are square with corbels to carry the inner order. On the S side of the nave the arcade leans out markedly to the S. The W wall has a pointed arch formerly opening into the tower, into which is inserted (perhaps as a crutch at a time when the state of the tower gave cause for concern) a smaller pointed arch of one order with chamfered imposts. There is no arch between the nave and chancel, the division being marked by a tympanic filling above the level of the wall-plate in the nave: upright timbers are exposed between which are plastered infillings. The two-bay arcade to the N chapel has a circular piers with a moulded capital and base. The roofs are probably entirely of the 1879-81 restoration: they are seven-sided in the nave and chancel, and lean-tos in the aisles.
PRINCIPAL FIXTURES: Most of the fixtures date from the late 19th-century restoration but on the W wall of the nave is a wall monument to Sir Richard Hotham (d 1799), a wealthy hatter from Southwark, who was responsible for starting the development of Bognor Regis as a resort in the 1780s: the St Mary Magdalene's register has an entry for 17 January 1787 noting the laying of: `The first foundation stone at Bognor in the Parish of Berstead'. The church also has a medieval chest witn a three-plank front bearing roundels of chip-carving (a modern oak lining has been added).
The 19th-century seating scheme is substantially intact and has pews with shaped ends. The font of 1898 is a replacement of a 12th-century one and has a round bowl with rich carving in a free Decorated style. The pulpit is wooden, has pierced sides and stands on a tapering stone base. Above the N doorway is a bust of Archbishop Tait of Canterbury (d 1882). The E lancets are filled with good glass in vibrant colours by Powell's and date from 1880. Other stained glass windows date from the late 19th and early 20th centuries: that at the E end of the S aisle is also by Powell's, 1905.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: The church has a most attractive, well-treed setting in its churchyard which retains a very intact collection of its tombstones dating back to the 18th century. Next to the N porch is a massive stone slab, probably from a medieval altar, and a taper-sided tombstone of the 13th century. In the angle of the tower and S aisle is a 19th-century obelisk to the Fitzpatrick family. To the SE of the church is a hall dating from 1969. E of the church are the former schools (now a nursery), perhaps dating from c1880.
HISTORY: The village of Bersted is now part of the built-up area of Bognor Regis. It was originally a chapel of Pagham. A vicarage had been ordained before 1291 when it was valued at £6 13s 4d. The right of presentation was with the rector of Pagham until about 1360 but from 1382 the archbishop of Canterbury was patron. The right of burial seems to have been acquired in 1405 when the bishop of Chichester consecrated the church and churchyard. It was styled a parish church in 1465 but this status was definitely denied it in about 1535.
The fabric of the church dates mainly from the 13th century. The appearance of the tower was radically altered by the addition of the large buttresses, built no doubt at a time when the condition of the tower gave cause for concern and the work may have been the `reparations of the steeple' recorded in 1541 (VCH). Prior to the Victorian restoration in 1879-81 the side walls of the aisles appear to have been higher with two tiers of windows on either side, no doubt to illuminate the gallery erected in 1764. The 1879-81 restorer was Ewan Christian who carried out much refenestration, added the organ/chamber and N porch, and extensively furnished the church and provided new roofs. Christian (1814-95) was a prolific architect whose speciality was church work. He was schooled at Christ¿s Hospital until 1829 when he was articled to Matthew Habershon. He broadened his education with travel on the continent in 1834 and the following year assisted one of the entrants in the New Palace of Westminster competition with the drawings. He worked in the offices of William Railton in London and then John Brown in Norwich. He commenced practice in 1842 and was appointed architect to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners in 1851, a post which brought many commissions, especially in the chancels for which the Commissioners were responsible. He gained a reputation for efficiency and bringing jobs in on time and on budget.
There were alterations in 2002 when a number of pews were removed to create a facility for tea, coffee etc.

The church of St Mary Magdalene, Bersted, Bognor Regis, is designated at Grade II* for the following principal reasons:
* It is a building of special interest in having extensive fabric dating back to the 13th century. Its tower is of remarkable and distinctive appearance thanks to the addition of massive buttresses, possibly in the mid-16th century.
* It was extensively restored in 1879-81 by the well-known architect Ewan Christian when it assumed an appearance which has changed little since.
* It is of interest as the burial place of Sir Richard Hotham, the founder of modern Bognor, to whom there is a monument in the church.

Would do it again...
Ricky was prompt in communicating with me and ensured my backing file was with the studio as promised. When I had to rearrange my booking he arranged this without hassle. The actual studio (Mayfield Studios) could not be faulted and Ray was extremely friendly, supportive and made a bad voice actually sound half decent. Thanks to all!

Granddaughter's Birthday Present
I booked this for our granddaughter Amy's birthday, which turned out to be "The best present ever, in her whole life !!! " She was very nervous even though she had practiced her song all week, but as soon as she walked through the doors of Songmaker, she was made to feel welcome and at ease. Nothing was too much for them, they made her visit fun, and she has a CD of her singing her song to keep. In Amy's words : FANTASTIC, BRILLIANT, UNFORGETTABLE, Oh and of course "When can I go again Nan !!!!" All of her school has now heard of Songmaker !!

The muffins have subtle warm flavors of cinnamon and just to make them more appealing to the kids , I have topped the muffins with some chocolate chips. Serve these beauties as guilt free mid day snack or as a after meal dessert or with some hot milk at breakfast. Kids would love to take them in their lunch box for sure. The muffin stay good at room temperature for 2 days.
Preparation time: 15 minutes

How to Manage Do Not Disturb on iPhone
Embarrassed by your iPhone suddenly lighting up during crucial time period, such as a business meeting? There are some times we want to keep our iPhone silent. No worries. This is what Do Not Disturb, a helpful iPhone setting, can do. Spend a few minutes to read this post to know more about the Do Not Disturb on your iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 5S, 5, 4S etc. and free you from those boring calls and unwanted disruptions.
- Tip 1: What is Do Not Disturb Feature on iPhone
- Tip 2: Difference Between Do Not Disturb Mode & Airplane Mode
- Tip 3: How to Turn On/Off Do Not Disturb
- Tip 4: How to Change Do Not Disturb Settings
Tip 1: What is Do Not Disturb on iPhone
Do Not Disturb (DND), a feature that is enabled in iOS 6 and higher, including the latest iOS 8, iOS 9, stops notifications, alerts, and calls from making any noise, vibration or lighting up the iPhone screen when the iPhone is locked. Do Not Disturb allows you to set periods of time in which you won't be notified of phone calls, text messages and app alerts – except those coming from people you choose.
Tip 2: Difference Between Do Not Disturb Mode & Airplane Mode
Do Not Disturb mode collects texts, alerts, emails and phone calls on your behalf until it is turned off. DND mode gives you the option to allow emergency calls through, so you have peace of mind that if something important happens, your people can get a hold of you.
Airplane mode disables the cellular data service on your phone, so no calls will come through. Airplane mode also allows you to turn on wi-fi, so any app that works over wi-fi is active, including alerts, texts (iMessage) and emails.
Tip 3: How to Turn On/Off Do Not Disturb Feature in iPhone
There are mainly 2 ways to turn Do Not Disturb feature on or off:
- Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. Tap the crescent moon. Note that the crescent moon icon will appear when Do Not Disturb is on.
- Tap Settings > Do Not Disturb. Choose Manual to turn on Do Not Disturb.
Note: You can also schedule Do Not Disturb here. Turn the Scheduled on and then it will allow you to set a block of time (10PM to 7AM) that Do Not Disturb will be enabled.
Tip 4: How to Change Do Not Disturb Settings
These settings can determine when you want to be disturbed:
- Tap Allow Calls From to choose you want to receive calls from Everyone, No One, Favourites, All Contacts, or a specific group.
- Turn Repeated Calls on if you want a second call within 3 minutes to be let through.
- Choose to Silence calls Always or Only while iPhone is locked.
That's all for Do Not Disturb feature on iPhone. With a better understanding of it, you will never be disturbed by phone calls, text messages and app alerts when you don't want to. Go to iPhone Problems and Fixes for more trouble-shooting tips for all kinds of all kinds of iPhone and iOS system issues.
In all fairness, the best thing of iPhone data recovery lies in that it suits for anyone who doesn't want to waste time reading the instructions or try several times before he figures out how it works.
Note the newly-developed technological innovation in iPhone data recovery - you can preview the deleted camera roll in time order and double click a picture to see the large version. Please check How to Recover Lost iPhone Photos for more information.

It is a large country. So many counties, states and territories to cover to immerse yourself in this great country's history and legacies. Would you believe that there are folks that will be making annual pilgrimages to a place called Salem? It is located in one of the US's most progressive states. And the town of Salem is still a matter of curiosity, sometimes for all the wrong reasons. Because it is here, all those years ago that women were cruelly persecuted, and worse, as a result of the superstitious suspicion that they were witches.
As if there was anything wrong with that. Fortunately, many more people are a lot more enlightened and open-minded, and tolerant, where religion is concerned. And Wicca is one of the many religions, a minority one at that, being practiced (legally and as a constitutional right) in this fine country. And then there are those enlightened folks who have affirmed themselves as strong believers in alternative and holistic practices of medicine (all legal as well) that will be heading off for their own materialist (and spiritual) pilgrimages of ritual supplies salem ma stocking up.
Here are some of the things actually, the list could be quite long that these folks will be stocking up on. They'll be interested in making purchases of healing herbs, essential oils and all other kinds of organic products. There will also be those who will be looking into the buying and use of spell candles. And to go along with the candles, there's the fine smelling incense. There are books aplenty for those who wish to learn more about all those holistic and natural products that promote optimal health and all-round wellbeing.
And in case you're feeling hungry on your trip to and back from Salem, there's food too.

Jasper is a city in Hamilton County, Florida, United States. The population was 4,546 at the 2010 census,[5] up from 1,780 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Hamilton County.[6] The Old Hamilton County Jail and the United Methodist Church in Jasper are on the National Register of Historic Places. One of the largest industries is phosphate mining.
Jasper is located in central Hamilton County at 30°31′08″N 82°57′04″W / 30.518856°N 82.951194°W.[7] It is set in the North Florida lowlands 90 miles (140 km) west of Jacksonville, 85 miles (137 km) east of Tallahassee, 32 miles (51 km) southeast of Valdosta, Georgia, and 30 miles (48 km) northwest of Lake City. The city is sits on a slightly higher elevated area surrounded by lowland.
U.S. Routes 41 and 129 run concurrently through the center of Jasper. US 41 continues northwest to Jennings and then into Georgia, and southeast to White Springs, while US 129 runs north to Statenville, Georgia and south to Live Oak. Interstate 75 passes close to Jasper, with access from Exit 451 (US 129) 5 miles (8 km) south of town, and from Exit 460 (Florida State Road 6) 7 miles (11 km) west of town.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Jasper has an area of 2.3 square miles (5.9 km2), all of it land.[8]
This section does not cite any sources. (February 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Jasper is believed to rest on land originally thought to be the site of the Miccosukee (Mikasukis) people, a subtribe of the Seminole nation. The 1823 Treaty of Moultrie bought the Native American lands, and the population was required to move southeast of the Suwannee River. This allowed white settlers to move into the area. A suspected Native burial mound is located at Baisden Swamp (named after Josiah Baisden) just on the outskirts of Jasper. Six miles north of Jasper along the Alapaha River an established Native village called Halata-Micco (Hala-at-a-Mico) (named for Chief Billy Bowlegs of the Seminole, who may have resided there) once stood. Chief Bowlegs signed the Treaty of Paynes Landing (1832) at Hola-at-a-Mico, his "X" mark (aka Billy Bowlegs) establishing the type of Native inhabiting the area where artifacts of pottery, fishing spear points, and arrowheads are often found.
Soon after the Treaty of Moultrie in 1823 was delivered, Hamilton County was established as part of the original 15 counties in Florida. White settlers mostly from Georgia and South Carolina moved into the area in earnest between 1827 through the 1840s. In 1840 the inhabitants were calling the settlement "Pulaski"; others called it "Wall". Daniel Bell, living just outside the settlement in 1824, was county judge in 1828, appointed under the authority of the Acting Territorial Governor McCarty in Tallahassee. In 1839 he was a member of the Territorial Legislative Council. Legend has it that Mr. Bell, also considered to be the first settler of the county, disagreed with the names that were coming into use for places in the area. He met with locals (one of them named Simon Whitehurst, one of the few Revolutionary War veterans in Florida, buried in Jasper) and other friends, and decided to submit the name of "Jasper", in honor of Revolutionary War veteran William Jasper, to the territorial capitol in Tallahassee. There the name was registered and incorporated as documented in the Territorial Legislative Journal. In 1841 the Jasper Post Office was established, ending any discussion on names for the town. Florida became a state in 1845, and thirteen years later on March 2, 1858, the town's leaders incorporated the town of Jasper.
The early history and specific makeup of Jasper is rather vague except for scant records that survived several courthouse fires in the late 1800s. What we do know is that the original town was built about a mile south of its current location, near the site of the present day Hamilton Correctional Institution. The original courthouse and a stockade stood where Evergreen Cemetery is located. The citizens fought Seminole raiding parties throughout the early periods, the last Seminole War ending in 1858. In 1861 the Civil War came to Jasper. The Jasper Blues ("I" Company 2nd Infantry CSA) was created from Jasper and county citizens. The unit rendezvoused west of Jacksonville and were shipped by train to Virginia, arriving on the day of the First Battle of Manassas. They were eventually made a part of the First Corps (Stonewall Jackson's) of the Army of Northern Virginia led by General Robert E. Lee. A school in Jasper was named in Lee's honor and is occupied today by the County School Board Offices.
In 1865 the Savannah, Florida, and Western railway was completed, and a depot was built about a mile north of the town center. Businesses and homes migrated toward the railroad, and eventually the current town was established along that line. The town grew in earnest between 1890 and 1930 with a rich trade in turpentine, tobacco, cotton, and pine lumber. Jasper reached its pinnacle in the 1920s with a booming population of over 2,000. Most of Jasper's present buildings were built during this 40-year period.
Since the 1920s Jasper has seen many economic changes. The leading cotton industry gave way to the turpentine industry, turpentine to lumber, lumber to tobacco, and finally tobacco to phosphate mining. The completion of Interstate 75 in the late 1950s caused further decline as tourists and shipping bypassed the town. In 2002 town officials extended the city limits and infrastructure to the intersection of US 129 and Interstate 75, and built infrastructure (water and sewer) with the help of county officials to the Hamilton County Industrial Park along US 41 in order to encourage economic growth and development. Since that time several new businesses have moved into the area, and the new high school has been built along the route.
The large jump in population between 2000 (1,780) and 2010 (4,546) was due to the incorporation of land containing the Hamilton County Correctional Facility into the city limits.
The first settlement in Hamilton County was called Micco Town or more accurately Hala-at-aha Micco which is interpreted as "Chief of the Miccosukee"; therefore, it is strongly believed to have been the home of Chief Billy Bowlegs who signed the Treaty of Moultrie, 1823.

Drop your panties, everyone; this here is the anime of the century! I've never been this stoke for an Anime since Ginga E Kickoff. What these series represent is the culmination of years of hoping that one of Manga's most celebrated authors finally getting a spot in the Anime silver screen.
You can compare this to Leonardo Di Carpio finally winning the Oscar he deserves.
Planet With is an Oringal anime, but that is not what is essential. What is important is that it is created by no other than the Author of one most beloved story that ever graced the world of Manga besides Hunter X Hunter, Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer. He also made Spirit Circle which is another of his blockbuster hits in the manga sphere. This author is revered in the Manga community that anyone who reads manga jumped in joy when he finally got the anime break he deserves. While he didn't get power to adopt a series – I am guessing it may perhaps be a deliberate choice – he went to make a story just for an anime. What is more interesting is that there he is also doing a Manga version of the anime. So not only he is responsible for making the entire story and is on-staff in the Anime, but he is also busy drawing it for publishing. It is incredible at the same time worrying about how he manages all of these. But what makes him stand out is that he is a methodical person, where he writes his story from start to finish before laying down the art. His works are lean, and it carries you to the story in a roller coaster.
But enough praise for the author. As for that anime, it reeks the authors signature quirks in storytelling. The slow open of a mundane everyday event, then followed by showing a general conflict then when you think it is generic, it will pull a 180 on you and surprises you with a twist in the story. Here, we were assuming our MC will join the power ranger group, but instead, he is the "villain of the week" that will target there "heroes" into submission. That is a classic turn for the author and fans of his work would jump in a cheer for it.
Ugh, I'm praising him again. My fan juices are showing.
In any case, the art itself is okay. I am glad that the MC is a young boy and not female, a good thing since half of the season is catered to the Type B crowd. The mech designs are unique. Cat-inspired cutesiness is entirely in the author's MO. The artwork may not scream Lucifer or Spirit, but the DNA is there. I love some bit of cameo of Samidare in there.
Overall, my AOTS is between this and Banana Fish. I've already pegged this two for weekly must-haves, and both are surely not to disappoint. I am very confident of the author's chops. He WILL deliver on this. He surely is.
Note: This article was already written a couple of months ago. I wasn't able to release it on time because I had a family emergency at the time. You can read more about that here.

Tim McGraw, country phenom, wears a cowboy hat, stands in a spotlight and brings fans to a roar by striking all the right notes.
His dad, Tug McGraw, wore a baseball cap, stood on a pitcher's mound and brought fans to a roar by striking out opponents.
For Father's Day, Country Weekly brought together the McGraws, the father-and-son duo who started out the game of life with some catching up to do.
Born following his mother's summer romance, Tim didn't know until he was 11 that Tug was his father. They didn't really form a relationship until Tim was 18. Yet it's already certain they share one family trait — fame.
Tim's single, "Indian Outlaw," is this year's smash hit. His next single, "Don't Take the Girl," hit No. 1 on the Billboard country charts and his album, Not a Moment Too Soon, debuted at No. 1 on the country charts and later hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 charts usually home to rock and pop artists.
Tug made a career with the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, preventing smash hits. Now he likes listening to them.
"I listen to country music now, the way my dad started watching box scores when I started being a pitcher," Tug said.
Country Weekly brought the McGraws together in New York City. Tim was in town to appear on the Late Show with David Letterman; Tug to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his World Series win as a New York Met.
Like father, like son? Yes and no. Though a glance at photos of each man separately wouldn't cause you to link the two, when Tim and Tug McGraw stand side by side, the resemblance is striking. They both have the same U‑shaped face and similar features. Tug has a boyish face; Tim's is more angular.
Both can talk a good while, but where Tug seems like an unwillingly contained ball of energy, Tim has that easy Southern manner.
"I get a lot of play because I have some fame," Tug said, "but you can't say enough about the bond he has with his mother. I wasn't there in his formative years. Timmy is a nice, courteous, respectful young man and his mother Betty has to get the credit for that."
The two star McGraws were two strangers in Tim's youth.
Tim recites the tale nonchalantly: "My mom and dad dated her senior year in high school. He was a minor-league baseball player. She got pregnant, moved to Louisiana and it was one of those things.
"It wasn't like they were longtime high school sweethearts, it was just that summer. I think my mom felt it was something she got herself into and that she would deal with it. I grew up happy."
Tim's mom Betty married in Lousiana and Tim grew up in the small town of Start thinking his stepdad was his father. When the couple divorced, Tim was told the truth.
Tug was a well‑known major league relief pitcher by then. He was married with two children when Betty called to arrange a meeting between her son and the father he only knew from baseball cards.
And so an 11‑year‑old Tim met his real dad for the first time. But Tim and Tug really established a relationship when Tim was 18. "I felt like I was a man now and I needed to face him and try to work things out," Tim told Country Weekly. "Plus, it just was the right time to pursue it, to ask some questions."
Says Tug, "When this whole thing with Timmy came about and he met my kids, my former wife Phyllis and Betty really set the stage for Timmy and my relationship to evolve in a positive way. If they hadn't taken a positive approach toward our meeting, it would have made it tough for all of us."
A good athlete, Tim won athletic scholarships but turned them down to attend nearby Northeast Louisiana University in 1989. "My first major was pre‑law, until I got my grades back the first semester and saw that wasn't going to work," Tim said with a grin. He switched to public relations. "I got my grades back from the second semester and saw that wasn't going to work."
It became clear college wasn't going to work at all.
"So I just fooled around trying to figure out what I was going to do," Tim said.
He knew one change he wanted to make: "I took the name McGraw in college. There were a lot of legal reasons for doing it but the main reason was because it's my name, my heritage," Tim explained.
"I started to get more and more into music in my first year of college. That's when I first started playing guitar. I grew up singing and listening to records in my room, singing into a brush like everybody does when they're a kid. I never took it seriously because, growing up in a small town, where are you going to go with it? When I got to college and realized that I was going to need something that didn't require an education, I got serious about music."
Tug tried to convince Tim to stay in college, but couldn't top Tim's "Like father, like son" argument: Tug left college after two years to play baseball, his son reminded him.
Betty wholeheartedly supported Tim's decision to pursue a career in music. "She was surprised I didn't do it earlier," Tim said.
Tim moved to Nashville in 1989 and began pitching his tunes in country's minor leagues.
"I didn't really have a hard go of it. I got a record deal a year and a half after I moved there. I didn't have it easy either ‑‑ I mean, I went on the road and played in club bands, not making any money, four to five guys in a hotel room. But I was having a good time, doing something I was willing to do, working toward a goal."
Tim's first album came out. "It went wood," he said, joking about its shortfall on heavy metal status. "We couldn't give them away in a box. We tried to give $10 away with each purchase, but it didn't work."
In his second at bat, "Indian Outlaw" hit it big. The follow‑up single, "Don't Take the Girl," proved he could go the distance, and the album, Not a Moment Too Soon, debuted at No. 1 in May.
Although new to the country game, Tug sees comparisons to his own.
"Timmy has a passion for what he's doing, he has a passion for life," Tug said. "When it came to my baseball career, I was really into the intricacies of baseball, trying to take it to an art form and I see Timmy doing that with his music. He's very particular in his choice of music. I have tremendous admiration for him."

Class Of 1970
Susan Smith (Daniel)
I went to Hogg Jr. High School with Danny. I have always appreciated that he was able to look beyond my shyness which many might have seen as aloofness and engage me in conversation. He was a funny guy and was always friendly.
Bruce Powell
Also remember Danny, mainly from Hogg. Had some classes together, and seemed like a pretty amiable guy, quite funny, even though I didn't really get to know him. Sorry to hear he's gone now.

A successful year for EHS Debaters
27 April 2018
This has been a very successful year for the Debating Club with participation from a range of year groups in many different styles of debate, as well as some girls having the opportunity to represent EHS in external debating competitions.
In Debating Club many different styles of debating are explored so we that we can prepare for competitions and practise our public speaking and discussion skills. We hold some debates where two teams of debaters present their ideas in speeches and can be questioned by the audience, Oxford-style debates where the whole club is split into two teams and every person has the opportunity to speak, balloon debates where each person has to pick a character and defend their contribution to society, and most recently an open discussion style debate where we explore a more general motion and each individual is able to contribute with their own opinion rather than being assigned a position.
We have considered issues such as the equality of private school education, homeschooling, the accountability of minors on social media in later life and the treatment of prisoners after they have fulfilled their own jail sentence. We are always open to any suggestions so if you have any burning questions you would like to debate feel free to come along and put forward your ideas for motions.
This year we have also competed in two major debating competitions against other Birmingham schools. Firstly, Mariam Al-Ani and Lava Yassen competed in the Oxford debating competition at St Pauls. The team performed extremely well, having to think quickly to come up with cohesive arguments in just 15 minutes. Unfortunately we were not able to progress to the second round of this competition but we congratulate both Mariam and Lava on their excellent performance.
Secondly, Davina Margerefteh and I competed in the ESU MACE Debating competition. We were fortunate to secure first place in the first round at Joseph Chamberlain College and continued to the second round at KES. We also came first in this round and were able to compete in the West Midlands finals at Solihull School. Unfortunately we narrowly missed out on a place at the national finals and were placed as the reserve team after coming second place in this heat. I'd like to thank all the girls in the Debating Club for being so supportive in our preparations for debating competitions and we hope to continue EHS debating success next year!
Hannah Clutton-Brock
A word from Mrs Park: I would like to thank Hannah for her contribution to debating over many years. This year she has taken the lead role of Debating Captain and I have seen her grow into an incredibly able public speaker who has inspired many younger girls to get involved. Davina Mahgerefteh and Mandeep Karlcut will be taking over as Debating Captain next year. I would also like to thank Mr Wilkins for the support he has given to Debating Club this year.
