Wire Rope Markers
Wire rope manufactured in the United States normally has some type of colored marker to identify the manufacturer. Two types of markers may be used -- strand markers and core markers.
A strand marker can be seen by looking at the wire rope; it is simply a colored lubricant applied externally to one strand during manufacture. Strand markers are not used in mining rope, elevator rope, galvanized rope, compacted rope or any rope that is post-lubricated. Strand markers are used in the manufacture of all standard (round) wire ropes but are not a confirmation of the manufacturer in an of itself.
Core markers are used in most wire rope manufactured in the United States, but cannot be seen unless the wire rope is disassembled. Manufacturers add colored threads of filaments to fiber and steel cores.
For example, every Bethlehem Wire Rope product contains one or both types of markers. WWW uses a purple strand in the manufacture of all standard EIP and EEIP Bethlehem Wire Rope, excluding those ropes cited previously. In addition, every Bethlehem Wire Rope product contains two filaments in the core (either fiber or steel) - one yellow and one purple filament.
Wire Rope Diameter Tolerances
Wire rope is always manufactured larger -- never smaller -- than the nominal diameter when specified in inches. The allowable tolerances are shown in the table. In standard practice, the nominal diameter is the minimum diameter. All tolerances are taken on the plus side when specified in inches. Wire rope is not termed oversize until its diameter exceeds the allowable maximum. For example, a 1" nominal diameter wire rope may vary between 1" and 1.05" in diameter.
|Nominal Diameter
|- 1/8"
|- 0%
|+ 8%
|1/8" - 3/16"
|- 0%
|+ 7%
|3/16" - 5/16"

Wire Rope Strength Design Factors
The rope strength design factor is the ratio of the rated strength of the rope to its operating stress. If a particular rope has a rated strength of 100,000 lbs. and is working under an operating stress of 20,000 lbs., it has a rope strength design factor of 5. It is operating at one-fifth or 20% of its rated strength.
Many codes refer to this factor as the "safety factor" which is a misleading term since this ratio obviously does not include many facets of an operation which must be considered in determining safety.
Wire rope is an expendable item -- a replacement part of a machine or installation. For economic and other reasons, some installations require ropes to operate at high stresses (low rope strength design factors). On some installations where high risk is involved, high rope strength design factors must be maintained. However, operating and safety codes exist for most applications and these codes give specific factors for usage. When a machine is working and large dynamic loadings (shockloadings) are imparted to the rope, the rope strength design factor will be reduced, which may result in overstressing of the rope. Reduced rope strength design factors frequently result in reduced service life of wire rope.
Wire Rope Physical Stretch Properties
The following discussion relates to conventional 6 or 8 strand ropes that have either a fiber or steel core. It is not applicable to rotation-resistant ropes since these constitute a separate case.
Wire rope is an elastic member; it stretches and elongates under load. This stretch is derived from two sources:
Constructional stretch
When a load is applied to wire rope, the helically-laid wires and strands act in a restricting manner, thereby compressing the core and bringing all of the rope elements into closer contact. The result is a slight reduction in diameter and an accompanying lengthening of the rope. Constructional stretch is influenced by:
- Type of core
- Rope construction
- Length of lay
- Material
Ropes with a WSC or IWRC have less constructional stretch than those with a fiber core. The reason for this is steel cannot compress as much as the fiber core. Usually, constructional stretch will increase at an early stage in the rope's life. However, some fiber core ropes, if lightly loaded (as in the case of elevator ropes), may display a degree of constructional stretch over a considerable portion of their lives. A definite value for determining constructional stretch cannot be assigned since it is influenced by several factors. The Constructional Stretch table gives some idea of the approximate stretch as a percentage of rope under load.
|Rope Construction
|Approximate Stretch
|6-Strand Fiber Core
|1/2% to 3/4%
|6-Strand IWRC
|1/4% to 1/2%
|8-Strand Fiber Core
|3/4% to 1%
Elastic stretch
Elastic stretch results from recoverable deformation of the metal itself. Here again, a quantity cannot be precisely calculated. However, the equation shown below can provide a reasonable approximation for many situations.
In actuality, there may be a third source of stretch -- a result of the rope's rotating on its own axis. Such elongation, which may occur either as a result of using a swivel, or from the effect of a free turning load, is brought about by the unlaying of rope strands. This type of stretch is undesirable and may lead to rope failure.
Changes in length (ft.) = ( Change in load (lbs.) x Length (ft.) ) / ( Area (inches^2) x Modulus of Elasticity (psi) )
Block Twisting
Block twisting or cabling is one of the most frequently encountered wire rope problems in the construction industry. When this problem occurs, the wire rope is most often blamed, and other equally important factors in the operation are overlooked.
Personnel experienced with handling wire rope know that conventional wire ropes will twist or unlay slightly when a load is applied. In a reeved hoisting system subjected to loading and unloading, such as a hoist line, this results in block twisting and possibly distortion of the wire rope. Cabling of the block most frequently occurs as the load in the wire rope is released and the falls are in a lowered position. Cabling may be considered as the twisting of the block beyond one-half revolution (180° twisting) of the traveling block. When this condition occurs, the operator shows good judgement in not making additional lifts until the conditions causing the problem are corrected.
The following machine and site conditions should be investigated for possible improvement in block twisting.
- Reduce wire rope length. Longer rope lengths cause more twisting than short rope lengths. This applies particularly to the amount of wire rope in the fall.
- Reduce the amount of load lifted. Heavily loaded ropes have more torque and twist than lightly loaded ropes. This condition would also apply to the speed of loading or shockloading, since this condition also causes higher wire rope loading.
- Eliminate odd-part reeving where the wire rope dead end is on the traveling block. Wire rope torque, from the application of load, is greatest at the rope dead end.
- Relocate the rope dead end at the boom in order to increase the separation between the dead end and the other rope parts. This applies a stabilizing load directly to the traveling block. The original equipment manufacturer should be consulted before making this modification.
- Increase sheave size. This increases the amount of separation between wire rope parts and may improve the situation by applying stabilizing loads and reducing the amount of rope torque transmitted to the traveling block.
- Restrain the twisting block with a tag line.
The use of rotation-resistant wire ropes will not likely be required unless the intended length of rope fall exceeds 100 feet, or the length of the hoist line exceeds 600 feet. In the event these latter conditions exist, the end user should anticipate using a combination of the rotation-resistant wire rope and the foregoing field suggestions.
Effect of Sheave Size on Wire Rope
Wire ropes are manufactured in a great variety of constructions to meet the varying demands of wire rope usage. Where abrasion is an important factor, the rope must be made of a coarse construction containing relatively large outer wires. In other cases, the great amount of bending to which the rope is subjected is more important. Here, a more flexible construction, containing many relatively small wires, is required. In either case, however, if the rope operates over inadequate size sheaves, the severe bending stresses imposed will cause the wires to break from fatigue, even though actual wear is slight. The smaller the diameter of the sheave, the sooner these fatigue breaks will occur and the shorter rope life becomes.
Another undesirable effect of small sheaves is accelerated wear of both rope and sheave groove. The pressure per unit area of rope on sheave groove for a given load is inversely proportional to the size of the sheave. In other words, the smaller the sheave the greater the rope pressure per unit area on the groove. Both sheaves and rope life can obviously be prolonged by using the proper diameter sheave for the size and construction of rope.
Sheave diameter can also influence rope strength. When a wire rope is bent around a sheave, there is a loss of effective strength due to the inability of the individual strands and wires to adjust themselves entirely to their changed position. Tests show that rope strength efficiency decreases to a marked degree as the sheave diameter is reduced with respect to the diameter of the rope.
A definite relationship exists between rope service and sheave size. As a guide to users, wire rope manufacturers have established standards for sheave sizes to be used with various rope constructions.

I went to work Googling for a rum dessert. The very first thing that pulled up was a "Chocolate Rum Dessert" on Recipe Zaar. I quickly scanned the ingredients and determined that I already had all the stuff to make this. Sweet! I pretty much followed the directions, but I swapped dark rum for light, I doubled the recipe and I accidentally didn't add the chocolate slowly to the egg mixture rather dumped it in which might have affected the consistency just a little bit. Anyway, I mixed it up as otherwise directed and distributed the double batch into 5 glass bowels since most "serving sizes" are ridiculously small. They then went into the refrigerator. I wanted to use fancier stemmed glasses, but the refrigerator is so full of beer from last weekend and the new stuff that was brought tonight that I couldn't possibly had gotten the taller glasses in so I settled for small glass bowels.
Prior to serving I topped the pudding like mixture with a dollop of whipped cream from the container and a few of the chocolate curls that I learned how to make just for this project. The homemade chocolate rum puddings were a hit. We sent Anna home with one, but I haven't heard her thoughts on it yet. I would definitely use my little bitty 1 cup glass bowels next time since the porportions were actually too big fixed as an 8 serving batch distributed into just 5 bowels.
To make the chocolate curls set a milk or white chocolate bar out and in a semi warm place for about an hour; NOT a hot spot, but warm. I warmed my chocolate bar by setting the unwrapped bar on a plate on the counter in front of a window with diffused sunshine coming through. The bar should not be melted, just a little flexible. Then take a piece of aluminum foil and hang it over the edge of your counter so like 6" is overhanging and crease the foil on the edge of the counter. Curl the foil hanging over the edge slightly up to catch the curls as you make them. Next the fun part! Take your dry vegetable peeler and with the long edge of the chocolate bar overhanging the counter a little bit peel off a piece of chocolate on an angle and let it fall into the foil catch below. Wallah! Very presentable chocolate curls ready to decorate any decadent dessert!
This recipe was easy to make and tasted great!

How To Make Your First $1000 From Ecommerce Business 2018!
How To Make Your First 00 From Ecommerce Business 2018! Before you win a million dollars, before you earn tens of thousands of dollars, you have to think about How To Make Your First $1000 From Ecommerce Business.
The world of e-commerce is an unlimited world and many people across the Arab world have managed to achieve huge profits amounting to millions of dollars and sometimes even billions! , You know that the volume of online payments in the Arab countries reached 21 billion dollars in 2014 and is expected to reach 35 billion dollars in 2020, according to a study provided by Payfort, one of the most important payment portals on the Internet in the Arab world. Ecommerce, like other industries, has bases and rules. If you follow these rules and insist on success, you will reach your goals, God willing.
In this article you will apply some basic rules and simple to start you to achieve the first goal in your journey with e-commerce is the first profit of $1000 from your online store.
How To Make Your First $1000 Ecommerce Business
The initial step: Setting the target is in this case a profit of $1000 within one month
The second step is to divide the target, ie, to determine the number of sales required to achieve this goal. For example, if you win an average of $ 50 from each product you sell through your site, then you need to sell 20 products to achieve the desired profit.
Step 3: Determine the number of customers required in terms of how many customers will need to achieve the goal In this case we will assume that one customer will buy only one product if you need 20 customers to achieve the goal
Step 4: Start marketing to get the target number of customers and then achieve the desired profit To achieve this you have to start marketing and promoting your products through marketing channels known as the Internet and the search engines, including the most important Google and social networking sites, including Facebook, Twitter. Since in this example we are talking about the first profit of $1000, we will assume that your site currently does not receive any visits from the targeted customers and you do not have any fans or follow your page on Facebook or Twitter so the way to start and publish your store is advertising, just like Any other business needs to promote your products, and of course we will launch the work of advertising on the Internet because of its many advantages are easy and cost simple and achieve fast results.
In order to start advertising campaign we have to first determine the budget required for advertising, as we mentioned we will need 20 clients to achieve the goal we will assume in this example that we need to enter 1000 people on the site or 1000 visits to get the 20 customers and this ratio is somewhat pessimistic and But you have to plan for equality and hope for the best. The cost of advertising on the Internet is calculated by the number of visits you make, which is known as Pay Per Click or pay per visit. The cost is calculated by the so-called Cost Per Click or the cost of each visit.
Now you will organize a campaign on Facebook Pay Per Click system and the goal is 2000 visit in one month If the cost of visiting the CPC is $0.1, the budget will be $ 200 per month to achieve the goal and therefore we will put the budget of one day to $6.7 per day and then start Pregnancy and follow the results.
And so you can use the same way to achieve any goal and you can integrate more marketing channel to achieve the goal we can apply the same example above, but we do a propaganda campaign on more than a channel such as Google and Facebook together. Over time you will find that your store has become its visitors and customers will appear better and free on the search engines and will increase the number of fans of your pages in social networking sites.
General Tips Of Ecommerce Business
Start with a simple goal like the goal in the previous example. Then, after the advertising campaign is finished, evaluate the results. For example, if the result of the campaign is that you have achieved more than $ 1200, this is an incentive to increase the budget of the next month and make more profits. Many of the profits targeted, you should review your store and review the advertising campaign itself and channel marketing, which you chose to know the reason and modify it and then re – implementation of the campaign again and so until the desired result.
Make sure your store design is professional and great: if you are using the Expandart Card, this will guarantee you the professional and wonderful design of your store and with the help of the support experts you will be able to achieve what you want
Add offers on a continuous basis to your products: Offers are the most motivated to buy just like what happens in traditional stores
Use Expand Card Marketing Tools to help you achieve your marketing goals. ExpandCard offers many tools and services to help you with this. For example, the free advertising on the ExpandCard and the thousands of fans from your country, such as the Mahashal Offers page which targets fans from Egypt and The most powerful offers in Saudi Arabia targeting Saudi fans, do not forget to ask marketing and e-commerce experts at ExpandCard to help you create your advertising campaign.

Heads up! Come check out our new forums, CurlTalk.
Why is my hair hardening?
I've discovered my curls at the beginning of 2014 and for the summer it's been okay but now that its getting colder, it's getting frizzer and harder.I find it hard NOT to shampoo because every time I shower, my hair feels hard and frizzy. It's as if the products build up and when I use my conditioner to wash it out, the hardness is still there!What can I do about it?
1 Answer
Because of the harsh winter climate its important to moisturize and seal in that moisture. Check out the loc method . Now when it comes to shampooing because of using heavier products wich may be necessary for your hair come winter especially you have to clarify atleast once or twice a month to allow your hair to continue to benafit from the moisture you put on it. Also I always say deep conditioning is important even adding an oil to your regular conditioner and leaving it on for half an hour once a week. Some benafit by doing it twice a week.
This Q&A section is soo last year... Talk curls at the all new CurlTalk!

Interview: Melissa Lozada-Oliva
Can you start by telling the readers a little about yourself? (Family, career, etc.)
Wow hello I am Melissa. I'm a nationally touring poet, an MFA candidate at NYU in the creative writing program for poetry, & an occasional bookseller. I'm a virgo. My mom is from Guatemala & my dad is from Colombia. I have bangs.
You are a poet. Did you know growing up that this was what you wanted to do? If not what were some of your aspirations and what drew you towards becoming a poet? Do you do anything else?
When I was a kid I just wanted to be a Spice Girl or do something that would get me an interview with Katie Couric. But I've always been writing & I didn't think I would ever be a poetry. The reason I stick with it is because in poetry, every word matters. Everything is intentional & you have to savor it like you're never going to have it again. I've always been fascinated by ---or perhaps haunted by -- the limits of language. With poetry you get to investigate all of the weird things you can make words do. You can make things like other things. You can make rockets come out of eyeballs. You can make people understand the most complicated feeling. When I'm not writing poems I'm teaching or writing little screenplays in my head between inanimate objects or having a crush on someone.
You're poems, at least the ones I've read (or seen on YouTube, actually) seem to have a lot to do with family and personal experience. If that where you tend to draw inspiration?
Oh, absolutely. I grew up in a household of bitchy Latina women and the knives they used to cut up vegetables with. Story-telling was a huge part of my upbringing. It was the way we unwound at the end of the day, the way we made each other laugh, the way we protected each other, the way we held each other close.
What is something you've learned from being a poet/writer?
I feel like I've always heard that being a better reader makes you a better writer. This isn't not true, but I also want to point out how much being a listener has helped me be a better writer. Everyone can just like, pay attention more.
We are never really done growing up. What do you hope to do in the future?
Some dreams: I want to write a screenplay, be in a band (lol) & be able to pay for my parent's dinners.
What gets you out of bed in the morning?
My cat meowing, a good playlist, the concept of breakfast, fear of my own mortality.
Do you have any advice for girls growing up today?
If I could, I would make them a very heavily involved diagram and PowerPoint about why all of their feelings are valid. I don't want to say to them, "One day you will know how beautiful and smart you are." I want to say, "One day you will realize that the world is so big and completely withiin your grasp."
Do you have any female figures that you look up to? (real or fiction)
FICTION: Maika Halfwolf in the graphic novel Monstress, Alma from a story of the same title in This is How you Lose Her.
REAL: My abuelita in her leapord-print blazer & floor-length floral dresses cinched at the waist with a belt.
Why do you think it is important to tell our stories?
They keep us alive.
What is something in life that you are most proud of?
Right now, my chapbook. It just came out on Button Poetry. It's called Peluda. It's about hair removal, latina identity & the beauty business. You can get it here http://bit.ly/melissapeluda . Also, I finally perfected making an over-medium egg.

In corporate finance, a debenture is a medium- to long-term debt instrument used by large companies to borrow money, at a fixed rate of interest. The legal term "debenture" originally referred to a document that either creates a debt or acknowledges it, but in some countries the term is now used interchangeably with bond, loan stock or note. A debenture is thus like a certificate of loan or a loan bond evidencing the fact that the company is liable to pay a specified amount with interest and although the money raised by the debentures becomes a part of the company's capital structure, it does not become share capital.[1] Senior debentures get paid before subordinate debentures, and there are varying rates of risk and payoff for these categories.
Debentures are freely transferable by the debenture holder. Debenture holders have no rights to vote in the company's general meetings of shareholders, but they may have separate meetings or votes e.g. on changes to the rights attached to the debentures. The interest paid to them is a charge against profit in the company's financial statements.
The term "debenture" is more descriptive than definitive. An exact and all-encompassing definition for a debenture has proved elusive. The English commercial judge, Lord Lindley, notably remarked in one case: "Now, what the correct meaning of 'debenture' is I do not know. I do not find anywhere any precise definition of it. We know that there are various kinds of instruments commonly called debentures."[2]
Debentures gave rise to the idea of the rich "clipping their coupons", which means that a bondholder will present their "coupon" to the bank and receive a payment each quarter (or in whatever period is specified in the agreement).
There are also other features that minimize risk, such as a "sinking fund", which means that the debtor must pay some of the value of the bond after a specified period of time. This decreases risk for the creditors, as a hedge against inflation, bankruptcy, or other risk factors. A sinking fund makes the bond less risky, and therefore gives it a smaller "coupon" (or interest payment). There are also options for "convertibility", which means a creditor may turn their bonds into equity in the company if it does well. Companies also reserve the right to call their bonds, which mean they can call it sooner than the maturity date. Often there is a clause in the contract that allows this; for example, if a bond issuer wishes to rebuy a 30-year bond at the 25th year, they must pay a premium. If a bond is called, it means that less interest is paid out.
Failure to pay a bond effectively means bankruptcy. Bondholders who have not received their interest can throw an offending company into bankruptcy, or seize its assets if that is stipulated in the contract.
In the United States, debenture refers specifically to an unsecured corporate bond,[3] i.e. a bond that does not have a certain line of income or piece of property or equipment to guarantee repayment of principal upon the bond's maturity. Where security is provided for loan stocks or bonds in the US, they are termed 'mortgage bonds'.
However, in the United Kingdom a debenture is usually secured.[4]
In Canada, a debenture refers to a secured loan instrument where security is generally over the debtor's credit, but security is not pledged to specific assets. Like other secured debts, the debenture gives the debtor priority status over unsecured creditors in a bankruptcy;[5] however debt instruments where security is pledged to specific assets (such as a bond) receive a higher priority status in a bankruptcy than do debentures[].
In Asia, if repayment is secured by a charge over land, the loan document is called a mortgage; where repayment is secured by a charge against other assets of the company, the document is called a debenture; and where no security is involved, the document is called a note or 'unsecured deposit note'.[6]
There are two types of debentures:

Opinion: Socio-economic issues focus area of Budget 20193 min read . Updated: 04 Feb 2019, 09:04 AM IST
The absence of any incentive for healthcare sector has been a major disappointment
The absence of any incentive for healthcare sector has been a major disappointment
Budget 2019 is clearly a budget for the masses as the government has announced several relief measures for farmers, informal workers and other marginalized communities.
Farmers' and informal workers' benefit programmes
To relieve farmer distress the budget unveiled the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi, an assured income support programme, for 120 million small and marginalized farmers with an outlay of ₹75,000 crore per year. This is a good move, however, with an annual relief of only ₹6,000 per year, it may not make any meaningful impact.
The extension of 2% interest subvention to animal husbandry and fisheries farmers, using Kisan Credit Card for loan, will be beneficial. Similarly, the extension of 2% interest subvention for the full loan term to farmers seeking loan rescheduling on account of natural calamities, will ease pressure faced by them. In case of timely repayment, they will get an additional 3% incentive for the entire period of reschedulement of loans.
The Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maandhan pension scheme for unorganized sector workers with an income of up to ₹15,000 is a welcome move, as it will offer them a monthly pension of ₹3,000 with a nominal per month payout. This is a good initiative, as it will bring 100 million such workers and labourers under a social security net, and will also be the first step towards generating formal data on the kind of jobs being created in this sector.
Social schemes
The allocation for the welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes has been substantially increased, which will help in improving the condition of these marginalized communities. The allocation of ₹60,000 crore for Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act for the economically weaker sections of society will also bring some relief.
In the area of education, the budget allocation for the National Education Mission has gone up. The government has announced approximately 200,000 extra seats in educational institutions to ensure availability for various reserved classes. This should help in creating equitable educational opportunities.
Similarly, the additional allocation for the Integrated Child Development Scheme will provide better preschool education and primary healthcare, as well as improve nutrition in young children and their mothers.
Focus on women
The allocation of ₹1,330 crore for the Mission for Protection and Empowerment for Women is timely and will help in creating a safe and secure environment for women. It is encouraging to note that over 70% of the beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana are women, who are engaged in creating their own businesses. Under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, 60 million liquefied petroleum gas connections have been provided to rural women, thus improving their quality of life.
The allocation of ₹19,000 crore for the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana will improve rural connectivity.
While the government claims that India is the fastest highway developer in the world with 27km of highways built each day, road infrastructure in urban cities needs immediate attention.
The use of inland waterways for freight movement is a good beginning and, with adequate allocation, it could provide an effective alternative to the surface transport system in the country.
Digital India push
We have certainly seen some progress in this area. The government's plans to create 100,000 digital villages over the next five years will give impetus to the Digital India programme.
The announcement of a national programme on artificial intelligence, which is based on NITI Aayog's research work over the past one year, is a welcome move. Such an initiative will go a long way in addressing the skills gap in this area.
However, the biggest disappointment has been the absence of any meaningful incentive given to the healthcare sector to enable the government's agenda of making healthcare affordable and accessible. The government should have looked at goods and services tax exemption on cancer and diabetes drugs, which would have benefited millions of patients.

Gettysburg grew on the site of a farm belonging to Samuel Gettys which was part of the Marsh Creek Settlement, an area first purchased from the Iroquois Indians by the family of William Penn. It was Samuel's middle son, James, who purchased a 116-acre slice of the 381-acre farmstead and by 1786 he had laid out 210 lots around his home (at today's Race Horse Alley Parking Plaza).
Gettys was not merely a land speculator. He had an active interest in community affairs and served as burgess, town clerk, sheriff, treasurer and a state legislator. During the War of 1812 he was a brigadier general in the local militia. On March 18, 1815, James Gettys died at the age of 56, within a week of the deaths of his mother and his wife.
By this time the town he founded was a thriving community; it became a crossroads town for the developing farms carved out by Scots-irish and German settlers. The bustling new town was selected as the Adams County seat in 1800 and by 1806, when Gettysburg incorporated as a borough, over 80 houses appeared on the tax rolls.
Gettysburg's trajectory as a typical county seat and market town took a dramatic detour on July 1, 1863 when the Union Army of the Potomac, 92,000 men under General George Meade, clashed by chance with the invading Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, 70,000 troops led by General Robert E. Lee. Fighting raged for three days over 25 square miles around Gettysburg, culminating in a desperate Confederate charge across an open field into the center of the Union line under deadly fire. When the disastrous charge ended, the South's ranks were shattered and the ultimate outcome of the Civil War was never in doubt again. Lee had pressed the attack onto Northern soil and had been repulsed. It was his last major offensive of the Civil War. More men fought and more men died at Gettysburg than in any battle before or since on North American soil.
The town survived the battle mostly intact. it wasn't long before the agricultural economy sprinkled with light industry such as carriage- and wagon-making was humming again. But as important anniversaries of the battle ticked off over the years, veterans began returning and America's most famous battlefield became speckled with 1,4000 monuments, statues and markers. The Gettysburg economy shifted to tourism. A century later, when departing President Dwight Eisenhower decided to settle in Gettysburg - the first house he had ever owned - people had another reason to come visit.
Our walking tour of what bills itself as "The Most Famous Small Town In America" will begin where Abraham Lincoln stepped off a train on November 18, 1863, arriving in Gettysburg to dedicate a national cemetery and say a few, a very few, words - only 256 in fact...
Gettysburg Railroad Station
35 Carlisle Street
In the summer of 1858, The Gettysburg Railroad Company acquired a one-half acre lot from John H. McClellan, who owned what is now the Gettysburg Hotel. Three buildings were to be built on the property: a passenger station, engine house and freight station. Initial plans noted that the passenger station would cost $2,070. The station, built in the Italianate style with arched windows, low-pitched roofs with eaves and decorative brackets, was completed and began issuing tickets in May 1859. The building was technically a headhouse, as it was the western terminus of the railroad line. It was here that President Abraham Linclon arrived on November 18, 1863 for the dedication of the Soldiers'National Cemetery.
Majestic Theater
25 Carlisle Street
The Majestic Theater opened in Gettysburg in 1925 as the largest vaudeville and silent movie theater in south-central Pennsylvania. In the 1950s, the theater gained worldwide attention when President Dwight D. Eisenhower and First Lady Mamie Eisenhower regularly attended performances. But time passed, the building changed hands and lost its original brilliance. In 1992 Gettysburg College purchased the theater and partnered with the state and the Greater Adams County community to rehabilitate the theater. $16 million later the renovated 60,000-square-foot Majestic Performing Arts and Cinema Center is a reminder of the days when a town's movie palace was the jewel of its Main Street. Black-and-white photos of the original 1925 theater were used to recreate details including the chandeliers and carpet. The ceiling of the main theater, which seats more than 800 people, includes 1,500 pieces of pressed tin that were removed by hand, numbered and sent to a restoration company in New York. One-of-a-kind grand curtains of red and gold flank the stage. The main theater also features massive columns, original stained-glass exit signs atop doorways, an art gallery, a patron's lounge, a balcony lobby and a grand staircase. Two smaller movie theaters are decorated in 1950s-era style and include cuddle seats. The building also houses a rehearsal hall, a dance studio, flexible space and large dressing rooms.
Hotel Gettysburg
I Lincoln Square
In 1797, James Scott built Scott's Tavern on what is now Lincoln Square, Gettysburg's historic town center. A former York County sheriff, William McClellan, acquired the tavern in 1809 and renamed it the Indian Queen. After 1846 it was called the McClellan House for its owners, the McClellan brothers. In the 1890s, a new owner replaced the old structure with an imposing building that he christened the Hotel Gettysburg, and so it remained through most of the 20th century. By the early 1900s, the hotel boasted electric lights, steam heat, hot and cold baths and a fine restaurant. The hotel became part of a temporary White House in 1955 while President Eisenhower recovered from a heart attack at Gettysburg. In 1964, Eisenhower and his wife, Mamie, were the Hotel Gettysburg's last guests before the owner closed its doors. The building, a victim of changes in postwar America's traveling habits, stood empty until a fire ravaged it in 1983. Through the initiative of Gettysburg College, the hotel was carefully restored in cooperation with the Historic Architectural Review Board. Opened in 1991 as the Best Western Gettysburg Hotel, the grand new building faithfully recaptures its historic past.
Wills House
8 Lincoln Square, at southeast corner of York Street
The home of Gettysburg attorney David Wills, built in 1814, is the most famous building in Gettysburg. Wills is often given credit for hatching the idea of the Soldier's National Cemetery, for proposing that Pennsylvania provide, "...a common burial ground for the Union dead." President Abraham Lincoln was the overnight guest of David Wills one the eve of the dedication of the cemetery and it is assumed he polished and rehearsed the brief text of his Gettysburg Address during his stay int he house. " In honor of Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday on February 12, 2009, the David Wills House opened to the public as a museum.
Wills-Tyson Building
11 York Street
Look up a see an artillery projectile protruding from the bricks just above the beltcourse. The Tyson brothers operated a photographic studio here during the war.
Nicholas Codori House
44 York Street
The Nicholas Codori House, crafted of brown fieldstone, is the oldest occupied house in Gettysburg. It was built in 1786 by Michael Hoke; Codori purchased it from the Hoke family for $1600. Nicholas Codori had 11 children and a thriving business so he purchased the property on either side of the house, building a large carriage house at the back of the east side and adding his meat market on the west side. The Codoris hid in the basement of the house during the Battle of Gettysburg, when the street fighting occurred in the town on July 1, 1863, bullets entered their home above them. For months after the battle the house served as the Catholic chapel since St. Francis Xavier, the Codori's Catholic church, was full of wounded soldiers. The Codori family continued to live in the house until 1967, or for 124 years.
Plank's Garage
northeast corner of York and Stratton streets
Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Eddie Plank was born 10 years following the Civil War on his family's farm north of Gettysburg. Pitching mostly for the Philadelphia Athletics, Plank would eventually become the first major league southpaw to win 300 games. After retiring, Plank opened an automobile garage on this corner in 1923. Three years later, he died from a stroke at the young age of fifty.
Gettysburg United Church of Christ
60 East High Street, at northwest corner of Stratton Street
The original German Reformed Church located here in 1814 served as a "Union brick church" with the town's Lutheran congregation until 1848. The current building, erected in 1851, was newly refurbished at the time of the battle. It became a hospital under fire, opened by Dr. Abraham Stout at the urging of his Confederate captors. For several days surgeons worked at operating tables in the "lecture room." Jennie Wade, the only civilian killed in the fighting, is buried in the churchyard.
Common School
north side of High Street
The High Street, or "Common," School was Gettysburg's first consolidated public school building. prior to its erection in 1857 classes were held in different buildings around town, often the home of the teacher. Samuel Sloan provided the town with an early example of the Italianate style, which was to become the most popular style in Gettysburg, with his design of this building. Like most of the town's public facilities it was pressed into use as a hospital during the Battle of Gettysburg. It would soon house Union and Confederate casualties on separate floors.
Adams County Prison
59 East High Street
As part of the deal to establish Gettysburg as the county seat the Getty family donated this land for a county prison. A two-story bastille-like building was erected in 1851 to replace the original detention center. On July 2, 1863. Confederate General Robert E. Lee held a war council in the building. Following the battle, the prison was utilized by the Union Army provost marshal to retain soldiers and civilians charged with violating martial law. In 1889 the County enlarged the front of the building to three stories and continued its use until 1948. The county library moved in for the next 40 years and most recently it has served as a municipal office building.
Gettysburg Presbyterian Church
208 Baltimore Street
The first Presbyterian church in the borough of Gettysburg was erected in 1813 at the corner of North Washington and Railroad Streets. The congregation moved to the present location in 1842. The original building consisted only of a sanctuary without the vestibule. During and immediately following the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863, the church, along with many other public buildings in town, was converted into a temporary hospital. On November 19, 1863, four months after the battle, President Abraham Lincoln came to Gettysburg to take part in the dedication of the National Cemetery. At five o'clock in the afternoon, following the morning ceremonies where he delivered his famous Gettysburg Address, President Lincoln attended a patriotic meeting in this church. He was accompanied by John Burns, a local patriot, and left shortly before the conclusion of the meeting to return to Washington. The seats of President Lincoln and John Burns are marked with a bronze plaque. Since the time of the Civil War, a considerable number of changes have been made to the church building. The first church school building was added to the rear of the sanctuary in 1879. The present Christian education unit was erected in 1932. All of the pews except the Lincoln pew were replaced. The present church building was erected in 1963 and contains the original rafters and dimensions, and simple decor of the building that was replaced. On February 1, 1963, President and Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower became members of the church. The pew President Eisenhower occupied was so marked with a plaque. The church also has an Eisenhower Lounge containing prints of paintings and memorabilia of the late President.
Jennie Wade Birthplace
242 Baltimore Street
This small frame house, birthplace of the only civilian to die in three day of horrific fighting in Gettysburg, is typical of the working class housing found in the town during the mid-19th century.
Georgia Wade McClellan House
548 Baltimore Street
The story of Jennie Wade, Gettysburg's only civilian killed in the battle, is recounted in this restored house, riddled with more than 200 bullet holes. During the battle Jennie and her mother were visiting the home of sister Georgia Wade McClellan. On the morning of July 3, a stray bullet passed through two doors and struck the young woman while she was baking bread for convalescing troops. 20-year old Jennie Wade was the fiance of Corporal Johnston H. "Jack" Skelly. Skelly was wounded in the Battle of Carter's Woods near Winchester, Virginia. He died July 12, 1863, without ever knowing of Jennie's fate.
Farnsworth House
401 Baltimore Street
Now a bid-and-breakfast and tavern, this house was one of many used by Confederate sharpshooters during the Battle of Gettysburg. Over 100 bullet-scarred bricks attest to the desperate attempts to dislodge these deadly snipers.
Shriver House
309 Baltimore Street
George Washington Shriver was 23 when he paid $290 for a lot of ground on south Baltimore Hill in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. In addition to building his new home, George would also establish his new business - Shriver's Saloon & Ten- Pin Alley. The saloon would be located in the cellar while the two lane ten-pin bowling alley would be built in an enclosed building just behind the house. The Shrivers were settling into their new home when the Civil War broke out in April 1861. In September, 1861, George mustered into Co. C of Cole's Cavalry. When cannon fire erupted in town in July 1863 Hettie shriver took her family to her parent's farm for safety. When she returned she discovered her house had been occupied by Confederate soldiers; two sharpshooters had been killed in an upstairs garret. Today the house operates as a museum dedicated to the civilian experience during the Civil War.
Prince of Peace Episcopal Church
20 West High Street, at southwest corner of Baltimore Street
The cornerstone of the Prince of Peace Episcopal Church was laid out on July 2, 1888, for the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. The church is a battlefield memorial - inside the large tower survivors from both armies placed more than 130 plaques in memory of their fallen comrades.
Adams County Library
140 Baltimore Street
The impressive Neoclassical building that houses the library was originally built as the Gettysburg Post Office.
"Penelope" Site
126 Baltimore Street
This is the 1863 site of the Compiler newspaper office, Gettysburg's weekly "voice" of the Democratic party, and the home of its outspoken publisher Henry Stahle. During the Battle of Gettysburg Stahle took into his home a badly wounded Union officer and persuaded a Confederate surgeon to come and perform a life-saving leg amputation. This humanitarian act led to Stahle's temporary incarceration at Ft. McHenry in Baltimore for aiding the enemy to capture a Union officer, a baseless charge of disloyalty concocted by a local Republican for political revenge. The breech of the cannon "Penelope," is seen protruding from the pavement nearby. Traditionally, "Penelope" was fired in Gettysburg's streets to celebrate Democratic election victories but was abruptly silenced in 1855 when an over-charge of powder ruptured her barrel. Fittingly the old political cannon was memorialized in front of the "voice" of the Democratic party, buried muzzle up in the pavement.
Adams County Court House
117 Baltimore Street, at southwest corner of Middle Street
Adams county chose Gettysburg as county seat in 1800. In 1859, this building was erected to replace a courthouse on the square adjacent to Thaddeus Stevens' law offices. The first court had met in the home of James Gettys' mother, Isabella. On June 26,1863, Confederate troops occupied the new courthouse. Five days later, the battle of Gettysburg created another role for the courthouse, as a hospital. The Court House was originally painted gray; the paint has since been removed. The building continues to serve as a courthouse.
Adams County National Bank
16 Lincoln Square
The Adams County National Bank was organized in 1857; this Beaux Arts anchor on Lincoln Square was built in 1919.
20 Chambersburg Street
The new Italianate style was popular in Gettysburg just prior to the Civil War; theiwell-preserved example of the art features the finest Italianate style doorway in town.
James Getty Hotel
27 Chambersburg Street
James Gettys, the founder of Gettysburg, sold his first plot of land in 1787 to John Troxell, Sr. In 1804, Mr. Troxell opened the Sign of the Buck tavern and roadhouse here to accommodate those traveling to the western frontier of Pennsylvania and beyond. As Gettysburg became the county seat, this establishment grew to house more travelers. By 1863, the town of Gettysburg was booming with 2,400 residents and many businesses. The hotel, then known as the Union Hotel, served as a hospital for the wounded soldiers after the battle. By April of 1888, Gettysburg was a stopping place for all to see. Everyone wanted to walk upon the battlefields of the Civil War. The veterans returned for the 25th Anniversary of the battle and this establishment, then named the City Hotel, readied for the celebration by expanding to accommodate 250 guests. The James Gettys Hotel closed in the 1960s and was used as an apartment building and then an American Youth Hostel. In March of 1995, the building was turned back into the James Gettys Hotel.
Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church
30 Chambersburg Street
Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church is the oldest structure in Gettysburg continuously used as a Church. It was founded in 1835 to be the English-speaking Lutheran Church in Gettysburg (St. James Lutheran Church, in existence since 1789, conducted its services in German), and to be the primary assembly hall for the Lutheran Theological Seminary and for Pennsylvania (Gettysburg) College. It was often referred to as "The College Church," and hosted numerous graduation ceremonies and other meetings for the College and Seminary. The structure was one of the first hospitals established during the Battle of Gettysburg, and at its peak accommodated approximately 150 wounded soldiers.
Epley Building
100 Chambersburg Street
This imposing example of Beaux Arts architecture dates to 1916.

Bottle Of Grace
…The last brothel we visited was run by a Madam whose granddaughter is in our care. She came to the Project Rescue affiliated aftercare home and gave her granddaughter to them stating, 'I don't want her to turn out like me.' We sat down on her bed and she shook our hands, thanking us so much for taking care of her granddaughter. She was so excited to hear that the other intern and I were foreigners who came all the way over just to help out with the girls, including her own granddaughter. We explained to her that we were just beginning to teach her granddaughter English and she was catching on quickly. We explained to her the Art Therapy we were incorporating and all the good work that was being done.
Her eyes filled with tears.
Then, I looked out of her window, which overlooked the rows of soiled curtains. I saw one worker slapped in the face by a customer and she began to weep. Utter devastation was occurring right outside the Madam's bedroom window. I remember thinking, 'Lord, did your Grace run out?'
The Madam offered all of us a bottle of Sprite. I took it and put it back on the dresser. In this culture, it is considered rude to decline what the host gives you…and I knew it. I'd rather throw it against the wall than drink it. She looked at with me eyes of sorrow and nodded her head, as if she understood.
God decided to answer, "No, my Grace didn't run out but yours did. Drink it. Now."
I lifted the bottle up to my lips and felt the stinging Grace go down my throat. The Madam was very honored when I received her hospitality. That's what giving Grace to others can be like sometimes. It may sting at first, but then it refreshes your soul.
– The following is a reflection from a 2013 summer Project Rescue intern.

Lessening the Death Wish exploitation tropes that we may have all expected, this is a nearly realistic representation of a father seeking revenge for his wife's death.
In a grieving nation and a time period that's been gripped by terrifying gun violence, director Eli Roth manages to display a massive amount of self control in a remake of the classic Charles Bronson vengeance saga, Death Wish.
Starring a newly invigorated Bruce Willis as Dr. Paul Kersey, the actor returns from the dregs of straight to video films to bring back exactly what he's always done best. At long last the formative star of the Die Hard saga has returned to lend his slick persona to a character that would have failed in lesser hands. And for once, Mr. Roth shows us what he can do behind the camera when he's not trying to convince a horror fandom of what he can do to impress them. Hands down, this is Eli's best directorial effort to date and proof that remakes can actually be entertaining when done right.
|Hey you. Die. Harder. Hardest.
Updating the story of the 1974 film, this Death Wish modernizes the classic nearly note for note. Other than changing Kersey from an architect to a surgeon, the script follows the exact same premise. Using the internet age to bring the tale of Kersey into our modern world works with precision as the anti-hero, Glock toting Grim Reaper decides to start eliminating violent street criminals at his own whim. Luckily for audiences, Willis has decidedly upped his game here and feels emotionally vested in the world he violently inhabits. With the tireless Vincent D'Onofrio playing his brother, Frank Kersey, the two actors have a natural interplay that never feels forced or unrealistic. Both offer something they haven't done in a while. They take a large step back and portray caring individuals with real humanity.
Taking a rest from horror, Roth's updated version of Death Wish features a great supporting cast that includes our Breaking Bad favorite Dean Norris once again playing the cop. What can we really say? Norris always delivers when he's playing a snarky detective. Kimberly Elise serves as a great counterpart that helps balance his detail oriented character. Perhaps the most stunning thing about this entire project is that Roth finally understands character development and how to offer a congruent story. This Death Wish is even paced, only goes for the gore when needed, and attempts to bring some realism to the gun play. There are actual stakes here. Using a screenplay by Joe Carnahan (Narc), Death Wish is brooding, cold, dark, and painful but attempts to make street vengeance a real thing. It succeeds.
|Hank! You lived! Good god, man!
A good remake should reproduce the original story as it updates it to modern themes or ideas. Going in, expectations were set very low. Coming out, I felt that Eli Roth paired with the proper team to make this thing happen. The amount of gunfire and death may not sit well with many right now, but it's all done in pretty good taste considering the current political climate that surrounds the gun debate. It's hard to imagine that the studio did not have some amount of sway over a director that usually goes for the gusto. But, it all works for the betterment of a feature that could have been an offensive piece of trash. Death Wish 2018 is the vengeance movie we needed right now.
Sadly for Bruce Willis, it might be hard to remake Death Wish II due to the overzealous use of rape and over the top violence towards women. But we'll see, this might just be the next franchise for the star.

Thalassemia has come a long way since Whipple and Bradford first coined the term in 1936, from the Greek word for "sea" to emphasize the Mediterranean origin of affected individuals. Their term has since become a misnomer because the disorder occurs in high frequency among peoples far from the Mediterranean. Indeed medical provincialism has even raised its head with such terms as "British" or " Japanese" thalassemia to describe sporadic cases in populations with low frequency.

■ Willingness to give something new a try
■ Acceptance that being scared can be okay
■ Acknowledgement that fears can be overcome
"I'm not afraid anymore," Tom announced as we were driving back to our tent, which was pitched at a tiny campsite right on the edge of the ocean. We had come here to see the coral reef, and swim with a huge shark.
Just two weeks before, my grandson, Tom, had been holding my hand tightly and didn't want to let go. We were snorkeling over another reef and, admittedly, this was only Tom's second or third attempt at snorkeling. New things can often be scary, and Tom didn't know what to expect. Feeling scared can be nature's way ofprotecting us from getting hurt. Tom certainly wasn't a wimp, just careful. It wasn't until after our snorkel that Tom told me he'd been thinking there might be sharks around . . . and felt scared. Better to be scared than eaten, says nature.
The day before Tom told me he wasn't scared anymore, we had been snorkeling again over the coral reef, when we saw a turtle at arm's length below us. Tom lifted his head, pulled out his snorkel and asked, "Can I touch it?" Wishing I could say yes, I shook my head. This was a national park. "Just look and enjoy."
But, the day of my story, something really changed. Tom and I swam with a huge shark. Called a whale shark, they can grow up to 20 yards long, though the one we swam with was only a young fellow at a mere 6 yards long. If he had been a human, he would still be in elementary school. The captain of our boat said they don't even begin to look for girlfriends until they get to about 9 yards.
Unlike a whale, which is a mammal and has to come up to breathe, the whale shark can keep swimming below water forever. It looks like a shark and has a big tail fin that sweeps side to side, unlike that of a whale, which moves up and down. It has a mouth big enough to swallow your average teenager but—thank goodness—unlike your average shark, it eats only tiny plankton and krill. It swims along with its mouth open like a gigantic vacuum cleaner, sucking up the microscopic food as it goes.
As we swam alongside this "gentle giant," as they have been called, Tom didn't even hold my hand! He was as excited as one could be for someone with a snorkel in his mouth and head underwater. He had just swum with the biggest shark in the world, and fear had given way to excitement. So when Tom announced, "I'm not afraid anymore," I was curious.
"What do you think has made the difference?" I asked him. "What has happened from just a couple of weeks ago, when you were gripping my hand with fear, to now? What have you done to snorkel confidently and excitedly on your own?"
"I don't know," Tom answered, thoughtfully. "Maybe it was just that I did it. Once you give it a go you discover that the fears are all in your head. I still felt a bit scared when I first saw the whale shark but then I realized it wasn't interested in us. I felt excited, too."

Back to Region III
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry (PCBI) hereby renew the Alliance agreement signed on March 29, 2004. This renewal agreement fully incorporates all of the goals of the original agreement, which are continuing in nature.
OSHA and PCBI continue to recognize the value of collaborative efforts to achieve workplace safety. OSHA and PCBI remain committed to cooperative and proactive efforts to advance workplace safety and health. In renewing this Alliance, OSHA and PCBI recognize that OSHA's State Plan and On-site Consultation Project partners are an integral part of the OSHA national effort.
OSHA's Alliances provide parties an opportunity to participate in a voluntary cooperative relationship with OSHA for purposes such as training and education, outreach and communication and promoting a national dialogue on workplace safety and health. These Alliances have proved to be valuable tools for both OSHA and its Alliance participants. By entering into an Alliance with a party, OSHA is not endorsing any of that party's products or services; nor does the Agency enter into an Alliance with the purpose of promoting a particular party's products or services.
In addition, the implementation team will continue to meet on a regular schedule to track and share information on activities and results in achieving the goals of the Alliance. OSHA will afford the opportunity for representatives of the state On-site Consultation Projects to participate as well.
This agreement will remain in effect for two years from the date of signing and will automatically be renewed annually thereafter. This agreement may be modified at any time with the concurrence of both signatories and may be terminated for any reason with 30 days written notice from either signatory.

Crude prices spiked above $102 a barrel for the first time yesterday, then retreated after the government reported the nation is greased with more oil and gasoline than expected.
Prices nonetheless stayed within range of Tuesday�s record close as the dollar tumbled to fresh lows against the euro and U.S. economic worries drove more money into energy futures as a hedge against inflation.
�This is a market that has been trending strongly to the upside, ignoring fundamentals, and focusing on other factors,� said Tim Evans, an energy analyst at Citigroup Global Markets. �They are not looking at how oil supply compares with oil demand.�
Light, sweet crude for April delivery fell $1.24 to settle at $99.64 on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after surging as high as $102.08 a barrel in electronic trading earlier. On Tuesday, the contract jumped $1.65 to settle at a record $100.88 a barrel.
At the pump, gasoline prices added a penny overnight, rising to an average of $3.152 from $3.142, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. At this time last year, drivers were paying an average of just $2.37 a gallon. Industry observers say prices will likely top last May�s peak of $3.23 a gallon as stations begin to switch to more expensive summer-grade fuel.
The report by the Energy Department�s Energy Information Administration showed U.S. crude oil inventories rose by 3.2 million barrels, or 1 percent, to 308.5 million barrels. Although that number is slightly lower than levels a year ago, it is well ahead of the 2.4 million barrel gain analysts had been expecting, according to a survey by Dow Jones Newswires.
It was the seventh straight week the report showed a rise in crude inventories, suggesting the U.S. at least has more than enough oil to meet demand. Data showed gasoline inventories also jumped more than expected � by 2.3 million barrels to 232.6 million barrels; analysts had expected a more modest rise of 400,000 barrels. Refinery activity also increased much more than expected.
Jim Ritterbusch, president of energy consultancy Ritterbusch and Associates in Galena, Ill., said the report offered the market a number of bearish signals. But, he noted, traders of late have focused on other factors than just supply in deciding whether to buy or sell.
�We had somewhat of a tug-of-war going on all day long with an upward pull from the weak dollar and a downward pull from the statistics,� he said. �As long as the dollar keeps making all-time lows against the euro, selling isn�t going to be real aggressive.�
The 15-nation euro jumped to a record $1.51 against the greenback, meaning that crude remains a relative bargain for buyers overseas. Gold � another commodity seen as a hedge against inflation � also struck a record high.

Behind the Helmet: Edoardo Mortara – Part 1
Edo, when did you first come into contact with motor racing?
Edoardo Mortara: I took up karting as a hobby when I was eight and began racing competitively when I was about ten. Back then, you had to be ten before you could race. It had something to do with the categories. However, the moment came later when I first realised I could actually become a racing driver. It was never on my radar before. When I was karting, I wanted to become world champion. I pursued that goal for a few years, stayed in kart racing for a long time and then moved up into single-seater racing.
What sort of upbringing did you have? What were your parents like?
Edoardo Mortara: I grew up in Geneva. My mum always used to take me and my brother to races. My dad was a pilot, forever travelling all over the world. He also worked in finance. He did that all his life.
How did you first get into karting?
Edoardo Mortara: My uncles on my mother's side used to compete in rallies in France when they were younger. My father also went rallying. It's in the family, so to speak. I went to the track for the first time when I was eight and enjoyed it. Everyone in my family pushed my brother and me into karting.
What happened in your brother's case?
Edoardo Mortara: He also went karting when he was younger, so we would go together, but it wasn't his thing, and he packed it in when he was 16 or 17.
Did you drive in Italy right from the start?
Edoardo Mortara: You couldn't really go motor racing in Switzerland. The major championships and the entire karting industry are in Italy, so that's normally where you'll find the best karting. I've always driven there.
How did that work out with your family? Did they always go with you?
Edoardo Mortara: They used to travel with me in the beginning when I was about ten. We would travel together, as my brother also competed and my father couldn't be there most of the time. And then, when I was 12 or 13, I started travelling on my own to races.
How did you get on in school?
Edoardo Mortara: I had no problems at school, which was very important for my parents. They certainly wanted me to finish school and go to university. It worked out quite well, though, because they set me on the right path. If I hadn't done well at school, I would never have been allowed to go karting. It became my greatest passion at some point, and I had to be good at school in order to continue, so I had no real choice.
You once said that you were also pretty good at football.
Edoardo Mortara: I never said that I was any good, but yes, I wanted to be a footballer. I started out with a club in Geneva and was later promoted to play with the big boys in the club. It was pretty good there. They won the Swiss league and also played in the European Cup. I spent most of my childhood playing with them. I was also scouted for youth teams and would have probably turned pro later. My problem was that I got injured and had to stop as a result, but I was quite good in my early teens. I was even called up to join the Swiss national youth team but didn't get to play. It was not easy to combine football and karting.
That was going to be my next question. How did you combine the two together?
Edoardo Mortara: It wasn't easy, as I already said. I couldn't play in certain matches, which, of course, the football coaches didn't like. They pushed me to continue. I managed to do both in the end. I then stopped playing football, which was probably the right choice.
Your time was taken up with football and karting. What about your private life? Was it hard to maintain friendships?
Edoardo Mortara: You see your friends at school, don't you, but of course, it wasn't easy to take friendships any further, because there was nothing you could do together on race weekends. Gary said something that also applies to me. He said that you have friends during the week and that you also have your weekend friends. They are two different worlds, but I think it helped me grow up faster. You meet different people travelling alone at such a young age. The realities were simply different. I grew up in Switzerland and didn't miss out on anything there, but you see things differently when you travel.

One of the things I love most about sewing lingerie is all of the beautiful and delicate fabrics I have the opportunity to work with. But, pretty laces and delicate knits can pose a challenge come laundry day.
With a few smart washing tips, you can get the most out of your handmade lingerie.As a bonus, I'm included a free lingerie wash and travel bag pattern and tutorial! This wash bag is a perfect scrap buster that allows you to combine pretty cotton prints with athletic mesh, or other open weave fabrics.
How to care for delicate lace lingerie
Cotton undies can get thrown into the washer and dryer without much thought, but lingerie with lace, mesh or delicate elastic experience the longest life when hand washed.
Although hand washing sounds like an onerous task, it's really something that can be done in just a few minutes in your bathroom sink or a clean basin!
How to wash lingerie by hand
- Mix warm water with a small amount of gentle detergent and set a clean cotton cloth near your work station
- Submerge your delicates into the water and gently agitate them by moving them back and forth with your hand or gently scrunching the garments up in your fist.
- Inspect the garments for any marks, and carefully rub the area with cloth to remove any dirt or debris. The water and detergent will do most of the work for you; there's no need to wring or heavily scrub.
- After a few minutes of agitating the garment with your hands, empty out the soapy water. Rinse the garments under the tap until the water runs clear and no soapy residue remains.
- Carefully squeeze out as much water as you can, without twisting or wringing.
- Use a cloth or towel to gently pat the garment to remove any excess water. Once most of the water has been removed, hang your dainties up to dry. Avoid using the dryer at all costs. Prolonged heat causes wear to elastics and delicate fabrics like lace.
Washing lingerie in a mesh bag
Although hand washing isn't nearly as laborious as it's cracked up to be, if you're anything like me, sometimes you need a quick clean. This is where lingerie wash bags come in handy! Bras, lace panties, and other delicates can be thrown into a wash bag and put right into the washing machine!
When washing lingerie in the machine, even when in a lingerie bag, avoid mixing delicates with heavier items like jeans or garments that might have zippers or velcro. I like to toss my lingerie wash bags in with softer items, like towels, and clean on a gentle cycle. Remember to still hang your pretties to dry.
Make your own lingerie wash bag
Of course, you can easily buy lingerie wash bags online, but if you're making your own under garments, you might as well make your own laundry bag, too!
Here's what you'll need:
- 7″ zipper
- 22″ x 7″ piece of cotton fabric
- 10″ x 22″ piece of athletic mesh, or other washable open weave fabric
- Free lingerie wash bag sewing pattern
Step 1: Cut out the pattern
Cut the Cotton Upper Front Top, Bottom and Back pieces out of cotton fabric and the Lower Mesh Bag pattern piece out of athletic mesh.
Step 2: Attach the zipper
Using your zipper foot, attach the zipper to the lower edge of the Cotton Upper Front Top with the right side of the zipper facing the right side of the fabric.
Turn the seam allowance under and topstitch in place.
In the same manner, stitch the zipper to the Cotton Upper Front Bottom piece.
Finish by topstitching the seam allowance in place.
Before moving onto the next step, place the Cotton Upper Back overtop of your completed Upper Cotton Front and make sure they are the same size. If needed, trim back either piece so that they are the same size.
Step 3: Assemble the bag
Pin the Upper Cotton Front to one half of the Mesh Bag. Stitch together with a straight stitch and finish your seam allowance with a zigzag stitch or serger. Press the seam allowance up, toward the top of the bag, and use a straight stitch to topstitch in place.
On the opposite end, pin the Cotton Upper Back to the Mesh Bag and stitch in the same way as you did the front.
Fold the bag in half and pin around the perimeter of the bag. Use a straight stitch to stitch around the outside of the bag, excluding the folded bottom portion. Finish the edges with a serger or zigzag stitch.
Turn right-side out. Use a blunt pair of scissors or other pointed object to pop the corners out.
Fill, zip up, wash and enjoy!
Now you can fill your lingerie wash bag with your delicates and throw them in the wash! Make a couple so you can pre-sort your lights and darks.

Katie Down and I have been dreaming up this deep sound immersion for a few years now. Open to sound practitioners who have either completed our Sound School Level 1, or who have previous training in sound in the healing arts, it will be offered in retreat style to create a truly immersive experience. This in-depth training will expand practitioners' connection to sound in therapeutic modalities, covering basic music theory, history, practicum training, ethics and best practices.
Among the topics explored will be intuitive voice work, mantra and the energetics of sound, aesthetics of sound baths, instrument techniques, Mindfulness, and Deep Listening. Several guest teachers (details to be announced very soon) will offer sessions on tuning forks, gong, and basic anatomy for sound practitioners.
Set in the beautiful Hudson Valley, there will also be time for participants to pause and tune into the frequency of nature, hike, swim in a nearby lake, and enjoy delicious vegetarian meals. There will be daily movement and meditation practice to open body and mind for learning, and evening sound experiences to enhance integration. Students will also have the opportunity to practice individual hands-on work, and receive feedback from the facilitators throughout the retreat. We hope you can join us for this transformative five days at Maha Rose North.
