Thank you for bringing such
Thank you for bringing such fabulous authors to Titlepage. We own all of Simon Winchester's books, except the latest one. I'm looking forward to reading this one, too.
It is really interesting when the isssue of an author's race/sex/culture/age/what-have-you becomes a commentary on his book. Does it really matter? And why should it matter? What's at hand is what's on the printed page and what the author thought or wished to communicate. Of course, an author's background informs her writiing, but assuming that she represents all people of that background is a huge leap.
Kazuo Ishiguro wrote "Remains of the Day," but there's nothing of his Japanese background in the book, because it has nothing to do with the story at hand. Neither does Winchester have any Chinese ancestry, yet he can write about it authority and authenticity.
Fine writers, but very
Fine writers, but very unfocused critique of American culture. I think a lot of the failings pointed out here transcend cultures. I think the discussion could have honed in on the conditions under which ignorance thrives--particularly states of war since most of these writers have direct experience. This is not a uniquely American phenomena. And I chuckled when Heman derided the American "confessional" narrative mode; he's written three memoirs!
An excellent choice of
An excellent choice of authors, and a riveting discussion. One topic of particular interest to me was the question of one person's perspective -- the focus of course was on writers, but I think it could be any articulate individual -- being taken as representative of a certain culture or ethnicity. I thought that Hemon and Alameddine were backpedaling a bit too furiously from any such implication. Surely we are seeing some sort of Lebanese-shaped world-view in the latter's writing, and a Bosnian-influenced one in the former's. Even so, we can acknowledge the limitations: 1) a writer is more than simply a conduit of cultural information; 2) as the writers were at pains to emphasize, no one person should be taken as the spokesperson for any culture, which has complexity and diversity that transcend the individual.
fascinating discussion,

Keep up the great work!

NEW YORK (AP) — Small business owners, their eye on the economy, are playing it even safer when it comes to hiring.
A U.S. Chamber of Commerce-MetLife survey released last week found that 28% of small businesses plan to increase their staffs in the next year, down slightly from 29% in the first quarter. The survey, taken between early April and early May, found that hiring was likely to be weaker in some industries; for example, 24% of retailers said the plan to hire, down significantly from 30% three months earlier. That is a likely response to slowing consumer spending. Manufacturers, however, are looking to hire — 35% said they'd create jobs versus 28% in the first quarter.
A bleaker view of small business hiring came from payroll provider ADP, which earlier this month reported that companies reduced their staffs in May, cutting 52,000 jobs. That followed gains of 71,000 jobs in April and 24,000 in March. ADP's numbers can be erratic and are often revised in succeeding months, but over time they have shown a slowing in small business hiring.
Small business owners have been conservative about hiring since the recession. A hoped-for boom in small company hiring never happened because owners haven't wanted to take on the added risk and expense of more staffers.
The May ADP figures show how cautious owners are. Manufacturers cut 33,000 jobs, and service companies 19,000. ADP compiles its report by counting the number of workers at its small business customers. It also reported a small 27,000 new jobs at companies of all sizes.
Businesses in general have become more cautious as they see signs of a weaker economy; they're also cutting back on their investment in machinery and other equipment. Rising interest rates and the Trump administration's growing trade disputes are also making some owners more conservative.
Employers are also having a hard time finding skilled workers as low unemployment limits the number of available workers. While companies of all sizes contend with these issues, small businesses can be hard-pressed to compete for staffers because they cannot afford the salaries and benefits that larger companies offer.

Eligibility for ACA Health Coverage Following Job Loss
The economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic have led to historic levels of job loss in the United States. Social distancing policies required to address the crisis have led many businesses to cut hours, cease operations, or close altogether. Between March 1st and May 2nd, 2020, more than 31 million people had filed for unemployment insurance. Actual loss of jobs and income are likely even higher, as some people may be only marginally employed or may not have filed for benefits. Some of these unemployed workers may go back to work as social distancing curbs are relaxed, though further job loss is also possible if the economic downturn continues or deepens.
In addition to loss of income, job loss carries the risk of loss of health insurance for people who were receiving health coverage as a benefit through their employer. People who lose employer-sponsored insurance (ESI) often can elect to continue it for a period by paying the full premium (called COBRA continuation) or may become eligible for Medicaid or subsidized coverage through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplaces. Over time, as unemployment benefits end, some may fall into the "coverage gap" that exists in states that have not expanded Medicaid under the ACA.
In this analysis, we examine the potential loss of ESI among people in families where someone lost employment between March 1st, 2020 and May 2nd, 2020 and estimate their eligibility for ACA coverage, including Medicaid and marketplace subsidies, as well as private coverage as a dependent (see detailed Methods at the end of this brief). To illustrate eligibility as their state and federal unemployment insurance (UI) benefits cease, we show eligibility for this population as of May 2020 and January 2021, when most will have exhausted their UI benefits.
What are coverage options for people losing ESI?
Eligibility for health coverage for people who lose ESI depends on many factors, including income while working and family income while unemployed, state of residence, and family status. Some people may be ineligible for coverage options, and others may be eligible but opt not to enroll. Some employers may temporarily continue coverage after job loss (for example, through the end of the month), but such extensions of coverage are typically limited to short periods.
Medicaid: Some people who lose their jobs and health coverage—especially those who live in states that expanded Medicaid under the ACA— may become newly eligible1 for Medicaid if their income falls below state eligibility limits (138% of poverty in states that expanded under the ACA). For Medicaid eligibility, income is calculated based on other income in the family plus any state unemployment benefit received (though the $600 per week federal supplemental payment available through the end of July is excluded). Income is determined on a current basis, so prior wages for workers recently unemployed are not relevant. In states that have not expanded Medicaid under the ACA, eligibility is generally limited to parents with very low incomes (typically below 50% of poverty and in some states quite a bit less); thus many adults may fall into the "coverage gap" that exists for those with incomes above Medicaid limits but below poverty (which is the minimum eligibility threshold for marketplace subsidies under the ACA). Undocumented immigrants are ineligible for Medicaid, and recent immigrants (those here for fewer than five years) are ineligible in most cases.
Marketplace: ACA marketplace coverage is available to legal residents who are not eligible for Medicaid and do not have an affordable offer of ESI; subsidies for marketplace coverage are available to people with family income between 100% and 400% of poverty. Some people who lose ESI may be newly-eligible for income-based subsidies, based on other family income plus any state and new federal unemployment benefit received (including the $600 per week federal supplement, unlike for Medicaid).2 While current income is used for Medicaid eligibility, annual income for the calendar year is used for marketplace subsidy eligibility. Advance subsidies are available based on estimated annual income, but the subsidies are reconciled based on actual income on the tax return filed the following year. People who lose ESI due to job loss qualify for a special enrollment period (SEP) for marketplace coverage.3 As with Medicaid, undocumented immigrants are ineligible for marketplace coverage or subsidies. However, recent immigrants, including those whose income makes them otherwise eligible for Medicaid, can receive marketplace subsidies.
ESI Dependent Coverage: People who lose jobs may be eligible for ESI as a dependent under a spouse or parent's job-based coverage. Some people may have been covered as a dependent prior to job loss, and some may switch from their own coverage to coverage as a dependent.
COBRA: Many people who lose their job-based insurance can continue that coverage through COBRA, although it is typically quite expensive since unemployed workers generally have to pay the entire premium – employer premiums average $7,188 for a single person and $20,576 for a family of four – plus an additional 2%. People who are eligible for subsidized coverage through Medicaid or the marketplaces are likely to opt for that coverage over COBRA, though COBRA may be the only option available to some people who are income-ineligible for ACA coverage.
Short-term plans: Short-term plans, which can be offered for up to a year and can sometimes be renewed under revised rules from the Trump administration, are also a potential option for people losing their employer-sponsored insurance. These plans generally carry lower premiums than COBRA or ACA-compliant coverage, as they often provide more limited benefits and usually deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions. Even when coverage is issued, insurers generally may challenge benefit claims that they believe resulted from pre-existing medical problems; given the long latency between initial infection and sickness with COVID-19, these plans are riskier than usual during the current pandemic. People cannot use ACA subsidies toward short-term plan premiums.
Our analysis examines eligibility for Medicaid, marketplace subsidies, and dependent ESI coverage. We do not estimate enrollment in COBRA, short-term plans, or temporary continuation of ESI. See Methods for more details.
How does coverage and eligibility change following job loss?
Between March 1st, 2020 and May 2nd, 2020, we estimate that nearly 78 million people lived in a family in which someone lost a job. Most people in these families (61%, or 47.5 million) were covered by ESI prior to job loss. Nearly one in five (17%) had Medicaid, and close to one in ten (9%) were uninsured. The remaining share either had direct purchase (marketplace) coverage (7%) or had other coverage such as Medicare or military coverage (6%) (Figure 1).
We estimate that, as of May 2nd, 2020, nearly 27 million people could potentially lose ESI and become uninsured following job loss (Figure 1). This total includes people who lost their own ESI and those who lost dependent coverage when a family member lost a job and ESI. Additionally, some people who otherwise would lose ESI are able to retain job-based coverage by switching to a plan offered to a family member: we estimate that 19 million people switch to coverage offered by the employer of a working spouse or parent. A very small number of people who lose ESI (1.6 million) also had another source of coverage at the same time (such as Medicare) and retain that other coverage. These coverage loss estimates are based on our assumptions about who likely filed for UI as of May 2nd, 2020 and the availability of other ESI options in their family (see Methods for more detail).
Among people who become uninsured after job loss, we estimate that nearly half (12.7 million) are eligible for Medicaid, and an additional 8.4 million are eligible for marketplace subsidies, as of May 2020 (Figure 2). In total, 79% of those losing ESI and becoming uninsured are eligible for publicly-subsidized coverage in May. Approximately 5.7 million people who lose ESI due to job loss are not eligible for subsidized coverage, including almost 150,000 people who fall into the coverage gap, 3.7 million people ineligible due to family income being above eligibility limits, 1.3 million people who we estimate have an affordable offer of ESI through another working family member, and about 530,000 people who do not meet citizenship or immigration requirements. We project that very few people fall into the coverage gap immediately after job loss (as of May 2020) because wages before job loss plus unemployment benefits (including the temporary $600 per week federal supplement added by Congress) push annual income for many unemployed workers in non-expansion states above the poverty level, making them eligibility for ACA marketplace subsidies for the rest of the calendar year.
By January 2021, when UI benefits cease for most people, we estimate that eligibility shifts to nearly 17 million being eligible for Medicaid and about 6 million being eligible for marketplace subsidies (Figure 2), assuming those who are recently unemployed have not found work. Many unemployed workers who are eligible for ACA marketplace subsidies during 2020 would instead be eligible for Medicaid or fall into the coverage gap during 2021. The number in the coverage gap grows to 1.9 million (an increase of more than 80% of its previous size), and the number ineligible for coverage due to income shrinks to 0.9 million.
Estimates of coverage loss and eligibility vary by state, depending largely on underlying state employment by industry and Medicaid expansion status. Not surprisingly, states in which the largest number of people are estimated to lose ESI are large states with many people working in affected industries (Appendix Table 1). Eight states (California, Texas, Pennsylvania, New York, Georgia, Florida, Michigan, and Ohio) account for just under half (49%) of all people who lose ESI. Five of the top eight states have expanded Medicaid, and people eligible for Medicaid among the potentially newly uninsured as of May 2020 in these five states account for 40% of all people in that group nationally. Overall, patterns by state Medicaid expansion status show that people in expansion states are much more likely to be eligible for Medicaid, while those in non-expansion states are more likely to qualify for marketplace subsidies (Figure 3). However, the number of people qualifying for marketplace subsidies is similar across the two sets of states, as more people live in expansion states. Three states that have not expanded Medicaid, including Texas, Georgia, and Florida, account for 30% of people who become marketplace tax credit eligible nationally in May 2020. Assuming unemployment extends into 2021 when UI benefits would likely expire for most families, the proportion eligible for Medicaid would increase in expansion states while non-expansion states may see more nonelderly adults moving into the Medicaid coverage gap (Figure 4; Appendix Table 2).
Nearly 7 million people losing ESI and becoming uninsured are children, and the vast majority of them are eligible for coverage through Medicaid or CHIP. Within the 26.8 million people losing ESI and becoming uninsured in May 2020, 6.1 million are children. Because Medicaid/CHIP income eligibility limits for children are generally higher than they are for adults, the vast majority of these children are eligible for Medicaid/CHIP in May 2020 (5.5 million, or 89%) or January 2021 (5.8 million, or 95%).
Given the health risks facing all Americans right now, access to health coverage after loss of employment provides important protection against catastrophic health costs and facilitates access to needed care. Unemployment Insurance filings continue to climb each week, and it is likely that people will continue to lose employment and accompanying ESI for some time, though some of them will return to work as social distancing curbs are loosened. The ACA expanded coverage options available to people, and we estimate that the vast majority of people who lose ESI due to job loss will be eligible for ACA assistance either through Medicaid or subsidized marketplace coverage. However, some people will fall outside the reach of the ACA, particularly in January 2021 when UI benefits cease for many and some adults fall into the Medicaid coverage gap due to state decisions not to expand coverage under the ACA.
Both ACA marketplace subsidies and Medicaid are counter-cyclical programs, expanding during economic downturns as people's incomes fall. In return for additional federal funding to help states finance their share of Medicaid cost during the public health crisis, states must maintain eligibility standards and procedures that were in effect on January 1, 2020 and must provide continuous eligibility through the end of the public health emergency, among other requirements. These provisions may help eligible individuals enroll in and maintain Medicaid, particularly in light of state and federal actions prior to the crisis to increase eligibility verification requirements or transition people off Medicaid.
Our estimates only examine eligibility among people who lost ESI due to job loss and potentially became uninsured. Additional uninsured individuals—including some of the 9% of the 78 million individuals in families where someone lost employment—may also be eligible for Medicaid or subsidized coverage. It is possible that contact with state UI systems may lead them to seek and enroll in coverage, even if they were eligible for financial assistance before job loss but uninsured.
It is unclear whether people losing ESI and becoming uninsured will enroll in new coverage. We did not estimate take-up or enrollment in coverage options but rather only looked at eligibility for coverage. Even before the coronavirus crisis, there were millions of people eligible for Medicaid or marketplace subsidies who were uninsured. Eligible people may not know about coverage options and may not seek coverage; others may apply for coverage but face challenges in navigating the application and enrollment process. Still others may find marketplace coverage, in particular, unaffordable even with subsidies. As policymakers consider additional efforts to aid people, expanding outreach and enrollment assistance, which have been reduced dramatically by the Trump Administration, could help people maintain coverage as they lose jobs.
This is the first economic downturn during which the ACA will be in place as a safety net for people losing their jobs and health insurance. The Trump Administration is arguing in case before the Supreme Court that the ACA should be overturned; a decision is expected by next Spring. The ACA has gaps, and for many the coverage may be unaffordable. However, without it, many more people would likely end up uninsured as the U.S. heads into a recession.

Ever tried to write/debug your own filetype/syntax plugin?
It's an iterative process which involves editing plugin code and testing it on some sample file. To see changes you made in your plugin simply do :e on sample file.
This will force Vim to reload all buffer-specific files, including your plugin.
This tip really oversimplifies the issue.
Your plugin may be designed to only run once per buffer, no matter how many times that buffer has ":e" run on it. Also, if you remove a mapping or option setting from your plugin, and then just call ":e" on your sample buffer, the mapping will still be there, as no commands were run to clear it out.
The absolutely most effective way I can think of to test your plugin is to edit it in one instance of Vim, and another instance of Vim for testing the plugin. As you save changes to your plugin, you'll need to exit and restart the "test" instance of vim. Luckily, vim has a very fast startup time :)
There may be other less brute-force methods of doing this. If anyone has any suggestions, please add them.
Another issue to keep in mind, especially if ever plan on sharing your plugin with others is the convention of having a:
if exists("loaded_typecorr") finish endif let loaded_typecorr = 1
as is suggested by ':h write-plugin' an searching for 'NOT LOADING'.
And I quote: "This also avoids that when the script is loaded twice it would cause error messages for redefining functions and cause trouble for autocommands that are added twice."
What I do to reduce the number of times I have to restart Vim when debugging is use the recommended multiple loading check with the additional check of a global debug variable specific to your plugin. For example:
if exists ("plugin_name_loaded") && !exists ("g:plugin_name_debug_mode") finish endif let plugin_name_loaded = 1
This works as long as you are only adding new functions/mapping or changing existing functions/mappings (defined with the ! method). But that's the case most of the time, so while debugging, you can just :so plugin_file without quitting the Vim you are testing with. If you delete functions/maps, you'll have to restart as the previous note mentioned.
Alternative: reload.vim plug-in[]
The reload.vim plug-in (script#3148) performs automatic reloading of most types of Vim scripts, i.e. (file-type) plug-ins, auto-load/syntax/indent scripts and color schemes.

Ray Liotta, who starred as mobster Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese's 1980 gangster film Goodfellas, as well as appearing in Field of Dreams, died while in the Dominican Republic. Jennifer Allen, the star's publicist, says that he was on location filming Dangerous Waters. The actor, whose other films include Something Wild, Marriage Story, and Hannibal, died in his sleep while shooting his latest project in the Dominican Republic.
Liotta's big break came when he starred as ex-convict Ray Sinclair in the black comedy Something Wild in 1986. The role earned him a Golden Globe nomination. Later, he starred in Dominick and Eugene, about the strained relationship between twins with very different personalities.
After declining a role on the original series, he starred in the prequel film The Many Saints Of Newark last year. He said in 2016 that he regretted turning down Tim Burton's Batman movie audition. In 2019, he starred with Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson in the critically acclaimed film Marriage Story about a couple that had split up. Laura Dern won an Oscar for her role as a lawyer in the film.
In the 1990s, he starred in thriller Unlawful Entry with Kurt Russell, Cop Land with Robert De Niro, and the family drama Corrina, Corrina with Whoopi Goldberg. In 1998, he was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for his role as Frank Sinatra in the television movie The Rat Pack. During the decade that followed, he appeared in Ridley Scott's Hannibal, Joe Carnahan's Narc, and won an Emmy for a guest appearance on ER.
He recently wrapped work on Elizabeth Banks's film The Cocaine Bear, due out in 2023. Liotta has also narrated the documentary series The Making Of The Mob, as well as appeared in several music videos, including David Guetta's Lovers On The Sun. Liotta was born in New Jersey and abandoned in an orphanage before being adopted at the age of six months. Liotta leaves his daughter Karsen, whom he shares with his ex-wife Michelle Grace, and his fiancee Jacy Nittolo behind.

George Brooks Bennett 1816 - 1907
WATCH THIS SPACE ! Further links and information will be added over time |
Featured in BBC History Magazine: Hands on History - June 2007 Reviewed in Family Tree Magazine in December 2007 - 'an excellent example of how to unpick the growth of a family legend ... this book gives a vivid account of a middle class family's lifestyle, outlook and trials and tribulations across the whole of the 19th century' Sheena Tait. The Bennett family whose letters form the guiding thread through this book lived lives that spanned the whole of the 19th century. The letters are not essays or dry official reports; they are full of gossip and good humour and tell of the ups and downs, joys and tragedies of family life during two long generations. The Bennetts lived in St Helena, England, and South Africa and from the letters we hear of their many and varied experiences during this period. The letters have been drawn together for the first time from many different sources; some are in national archives; some in the hands of far flung family members; none, apart from a very heavily abridged extract from one of George Brooks Bennett's letters, have been published before. The narrative that links the letters into a readable story includes a selection of other contemporary accounts from a range of sources. To maintain the freshness of the book most of these have been taken from little known works long out of print. Whether a general reader of 19th century history or professional historian 'The Bennett Letters' will provide a new insight into this absorbing period of English colonial history. So who were the Bennetts? The 'father' of the family was James Bennett who was born in London in 1773 and, at the age of 16, joined the army of the East India Company. He spent most of his career in St Helena, a small but important island in the South Atlantic. During his time on the island he rose in rank from 'private' to a senior captain in the St Helena Foot Regiment. His main claim to fame is a somewhat mysterious link with the Emperor Napoleon who was exiled to the island in 1815 after his defeat at Waterloo. According to some histories, Napoleon was buried in a coffin manufactured from James Bennett's mahogany dining table. How true is this story? Was Napoleon buried in a coffin made from James Bennett's dining table? The truth behind this story is revealed for the first time. Whatever the truth was (and I'm not going to reveal it here!) James' life was more than just a Napoleonic footnote. His story reveals a family man who desperately tried to provide a good education for his many children; a keen horticulturist; a talented amateur actor; a man who strove to improve his lot but, ultimately, a man struck down by bad luck and a declining economy that brought his family to the edge of penury. A social history of life in a 19th century army family James' children had varying successes in life: Thomas, the only child born to his first wife became a watch finisher and was last heard of in Monte Video, the two eldest sons by his second wife never left England - Charles became a lawyer in London and Robert, the second son, a cabinet maker who followed his trade in the Midlands. The third son, William, was a bit of a bully. He was sent to school in England but returned to St Helena in 1830 desperate to join the East India Company. He wrote some bawdy, gossipy letters to his brother Charles before eventually getting his wish and being posted to India where he came to a particularly nasty end. The eldest daughter, Eliza, married the Governor, Sir Patrick Ross, a veteran of the Peninsula War but was widowed within a few years. As a committed Christian she spent the rest of her life on the island doing good works. Eleanor (Ellen), the second daughter, charmed a French nobleman but married an English sea captain. The youngest, 'poor' Julia, was sent home to England in disgrace. . . George, the youngest son and perhaps the best raconteur, had a varied and interesting life which he recorded in a long letter to one of his daughters when he was in his seventies. From it we hear of his early life on St Helena including being present at Napoleon's funeral; then of his voyage to England at the tender age of 4½ —firstly to school in Alton, Hampshire and later to London where he worked for his brother Charles. Deeply drawn to botany and horticulture, he quickly tired of city life and returned to St Helena. Seeking employment he was offered a post as a clerk in the Commissariat just as sovereignty of the island was being transferred from the East India Company to the Crown. In the 1840s he witnessed Napoleon's exhumation, and later met Joseph Hooker who was a botanist on James Clark Ross's expedition to Antarctica. He kept up a correspondence with both Sir William and Joseph Hooker and began sending plants to the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew. In 1850, married and with a growing family, he was posted to South Africa where he saw service and travelled extensively in both the Eastern and Western Cape regions. On his retirement as Chief Staff Paymaster of the Cape Command, he purchased 'Waterhof' a small estate on the side of Table Mountain. There he created a magnificent garden that became a great attraction for visitors to the Cape including General Gordon and Robert Baden-Powell. * Special Price available from the author (use 'Contact me' link) or from 'Miles Apart' New and secondhand books on the South Atlantic islands, Ian Mathieson, Tel: 01638-577627 email: email@example.com or from WH Smith (use link http://www.whsmith.co.uk/whs/go.asp) or from Amazon (Note that book is available from stock and will not take 4-6 weeks as stated on Amazon's page). |

Surat (Gujarat) [India], February 2: Prateek Toshniwal, a renowned chartered accountant, has said that the Union Budget 2023-24 has reshaped the landscape of capital investment, and the new policies will go a long way in reviving the startup ecosystem in India.
The Credit Guarantee Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE) scheme announced by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Union Budget 2023-24 will be a game changer for small and medium businesses, especially the startups in India… It is expected to provide an additional Rs 2 lakh crore in collateral-free credit to the MSMEs.
According to Prateek Toshniwal, a well-known chartered accountant (CA), the CGTMSE to be implemented on April 1st will aid collateral-free lending to small businesses, with the government infusing Rs 9,000 crore.
"India's economy is on track to grow at 7% in the current fiscal year, the highest among developed economies worldwide. There is no reason to doubt that India will persevere in the face of adversity," said Toshniwal.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has estimated 7% growth in the current fiscal year by increasing Capex expenditure by 33% to Rs 10 lakh crore for FY24, which is higher than the Rs 7.5 lakh crore budget estimate for 2022-23. However, public capital expenditures will account for 3.3% of GDP at this level.
The finance minister has proposed various diligent measures with a prominent focus on the seven tenets of SAPTARISHI to be accomplished during Amrit Kaal, namely, Inclusive development, reaching the last mile, enhanced focus on infrastructure & investment, unleashing the potential of the financial industry, Green growth, Youth Power and the progress of Financial Sector.
"It is an excellent budget for capital investors and investment networks, and it will strengthen the country's financial investment ecosystem," Toshniwal said.

1852 Lavasseur Map of Persia
Persia-levasseur-1852Victor Levasseur (1800 - 1870), an important French engineer, cartographer, and engraver of the mid 19th century, held a number of important cartographically related political and educations posts in France. He is most famous for his Atlas National Illustré des 86 Départements et des Possessions de La France, a large decorative atlas of France, including his Planisphere and five important continental maps. Levasseur's maps are distinctive for their wide decorative margins containing elaborate depictions of the scenery, peoples, and trade goods of the areas he mapped. Levasseur maps are also known to offer a wealth of statistical data. Until recently, very few Levasseur Atlases migrated out of France where they were mostly used in public libraries and town halls. His work represents some of the last great decorative atlases of the 19th century. More by this mapmaker...
Jean Denis Barbie du Bocage (1760 - 1825) and his son Jean-Guillaume Barbie du Bocage (1795 - 1848) were French cartographers and cosmographers active in Paris during late 18th and early 19th centuries. The elder Barbie du Bocage, Jean Denis, was trained as a cartographer and engraver in the workshops of mapmaking legend J. B. B. d'Anville. At some point Jean Denis held the post of Royal Librarian of France and it was through is associations with d'Anville that the d'Anville collection of nearly 9000 maps was acquired by French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The younger Barbie du Bocage, Jean-Guillaume, acquired a position shortly afterwards at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and, in time, became its head, with the title of Geographe du Ministere des Affaires Etrangeres.

Here's the lede in a City Pages Blotter article this morning:
The Minnesota Daily reported yesterday on the ruckus currently unfolding at the U of M Law School over the hiring of Robert Delahunty to teach a Constitutional law course next semester. Delahunty formerly served in the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel. In that capacity he co-wrote one of the so-called "torture memos" that seemingly justified the psychological and physical abuse of detainees in the war on terrorism.
As you can read in the article--and as Spot has mentioned before--Delahunty is a former sidekick of John "Professor Organ Failure" Yoo when they were at the Justice Department.
To their everlasting credit, some of the profs at the law school have objected and requested reconsideration of the hiring decision. You can read their five-page letter here. And God love 'em, the letter even has footnotes.

* Original Mister Freedom® pattern, inspired by vintage 1940′s-50′s cotton T-shaped undershirts.* 100% cotton light-weight slubby tubular jersey knit, milled in the USA. This fabric twists and torques. This natural yarn distortion is expected and not a defect.* Old school 1/4 sleeve length.* Tubular knit (no side seams).* Cover stitch self-fabric neckband.* Normal mechanical stretch and fabric memory.* Combination of flatlock and cover stitch construction, inspired by 1940′s USMC Government issued undershirts.* 100% cotton thread, for natural roping on seams.* Original MF® "The Sportsman" black woven rayon label on neck band.* Made in USA.
The Mister Freedom® Stanley T-shirt is available pre-shrunk and ready-to-wear. Please refer to sizing chart to determine which size works for you.
CL's Advice: I wear Medium (38) on most MFSC garments, but sized down to a Small for both MF® Stanley and Skivvy, just personal taste. According to your built and silhouette preference, get your normal size or size down for a slimmer/shorter old school fit.
The Stanley fits like the Skivvy does, but due to the nature of its stretchy jersey, the Stanley might feel looser at first.Low-maintenance as a t-shirt should be, just throw your Stanley in the washer/dryer, cold or hot water, delicate cycle. No bleach.
Meet "Stanley", Skivvy's little brother. Both Skivvy and Stanley bodies share the same T-shape design, construction and pattern specs, originally inspired by a vintage 1940's USMC sage green undershirt.
For the Stanley tee, our inspiration this time is more 'old souvenir shop' or vintage 'PX merchandise' than Mil-Specs. We are using a very special slubby and light-weight 100% cotton jersey, milled in the USA. Those familiar with vintage clothing, will notice that this specific fabric is quite reminiscent of 1960's-70's tourist T's and rock T's
The Stanley T-shirt features a 40's-50's silhouette with 1/4 sleeves and a slightly boxy fit. We opted for a slubby and lightweight cotton jersey, reminiscent of vintage t-shirts. This comfortable jersey will twist and torque giving it a unique character.
The Stanley fits pretty much like our Skivvy, although featuring much more mechanical stretch due to the looser weave.
This MF® garment is designed and manufactured in California by Mister Freedom®.

A new year is a fresh start. It's like a new baby, rosy cheeked and full of potential.
What will you do in 2017, that will make you proud by December 31?
What will change you? What will enhance your life and the lives of those around you?
2016 was my Homespun Year. You can read my Homespun posts on the designated page at the top of my blog. You might also like to check out Budget and DIY, and even Motherly Advice.
I am proud of what I achieved in 2016, and I hope that I encouraged you to stretch your imagination and creativity, so that you too, feel you've achieved something special. Congratulations. It's not easy learning a new skill, or understanding that creating and gifting home made, is something of which to be proud, if you've always been committed to a big spend up for celebrations. Did I help you see gifting and celebrating in a new light? Did I help you to see that you are talented, in ways you never imagined? Were your treasures welcomed by family and friends, be they baked, grown, crafted or stitched? Can you now see a future where you've gifted generously, but you're not facing Credit Card debt come January each year? Because that is my greatest wish. Well done, you.
2017 will be my Nurturing Year.
Will you join me as we nurture ourselves first and foremost? For unless we do so, we cannot give of our best self to the ones we love most.
My aim will be to see us looking after our mind, body, spirit, diet, consciousness, and dress sense, in a way that will see us changed for the better.
I want to see us zhooshing up our neighbourhoods with our personal fabulousness. We can be the bright light in someones day, the face the shopkeeper looks forward to seeing, the smile that lights up the room, the person of whom it's said, 'they always look lovely, no matter what'.
Let's make it a year of rising that little bit earlier to take more care with our appearance. The year of adopting a gentle exercise programme that can be acted upon come rail, hail or shine. The year of eating more healthfully, shunning the foods that we inherently recognise are not good for our body, no matter how good they taste, and embracing the fresh, the foods bursting with nutrition. The year of allowing ourselves time for a home made beauty treatment once a week. Of viewing ourselves honestly in that full length mirror, and acknowledging that we can be better, trimmer, healthier, more at peace with ourselves, our lot in life, and the world at large.
I'd like to see us stepping out our front door each day, bursting with confidence, knowing that whilst we may not be Zsa Zsa Gabor (God rest her gorgeous soul), we can live life to the full, inspiring others with our gentle demeanour, good manners, and impeccable grooming and dress.
We Aussies, myself included, are a bit guilty of the 'that's good enough' attitude (also known as 'she'll be right, Mate) when it comes to our appearance. In my neighbourhood, I see many women who just look tired and frazzled, shopping in their workout gear, or tracksuit pants and a t-shirt. I have nothing against either of those things, in their place. Workout gear in the gym, tracksuits likewise. Or at worst, as something to keep you warm in the depths of Winter in your own home. And even then, is there not something more flattering that will keep you just as warm?
I know we all have days when we just can't be bothered. But aren't those also the days when we catch a glimpse of ourselves in the mirror as we walk by, and cringe slightly? Yes it's nice to have a pyjama day, or a casual day, but even then, could your pyjamas and casuals do with a little makeover? Then at least Pyjama Day or Casual Day still sees you looking fabulous, not frumpy, and that glimpse of self that catches your eye in the mirror, sees you with a spring in your step, pride in your heart, and a smile on your face.
As with everything here at A Tray of Bliss, this has little to do with spending money. It's about knowing how to care for yourself, and your wardrobe, so that you make the most of both. It's about not letting fashion or celebrities dictate how you choose to dress. But it's also about not dressing down to make others comfortable. That's for the birds. It can be about finding your own style, or dressing to reflect the things in life that are important to you. Even then, however, we can find ways that do not end with us looking less than our best.
I want to show you how a pair of shoes or a scarf, can change the way you see yourself, and how others see you. We can talk about how to have a good hair day, every day. The words 'Dress - Formal' on an invitation will no longer strike fear into our hearts. And a trip to the supermarket will see our demeanour, smile and dress sense, put a smile on the faces of all who we meet.
My secondary goal is to continue my Homespun theme, making it more about nurturing home and family. I'd like that. A sense of continuity is good.
Are you with me?
Let's start on January 14th.
That allows you two weeks to collect the following items...
A full length mirror (available at Dollar stores and Variety stores for around $10)
A journal
A camera and/or selfie stick
Your favourite home outfit
Your favourite daytime shopping/out and about outfit
Your favourite after five outfit
Your favourite shoes and bag
Be honest. Do not contrive to make those outfits anything other than what they are. Your favourites. No judgement. Even if they are workout gear or tracksuit pants and a t-shirt. From there, you can only enhance your self esteem and personal presentation, so there are no rules.
Let's start two weeks from today, and see what we achieve by December 31, 2017.
Happy New Year!

How are sections different than groups?
Sections and groups are very similar in some respects. They both allow instructors to manage subsets of students within a site. For example, both groups and sections allow instructors to filter and view one section of students at a time in the Gradebook. However, sections and groups also differ in several key ways.
Sections are subsets of site participants. A section may have a variety of data attached to it, such as category, days of the week, times, and an assigned teaching assistant (in a course site only). Depending on how the software is implemented at a given location, the Section Info tool may be loaded with official course sections. Alternately, an instructor may be able to set up sections manually.
- Sections are managed through the Section Info tool.
- You may provide additional information about a section, such as title (required), days, start time, end time, maximum size, and location.
- Sections must be assigned to a given category. Categories include lecture, lab, discussion, studio, and recitation.
- In a course site, an instructor may assign a teaching assistant to a section.
- You have the option to allow students to switch or sign up for sections.
- Participants may not be in more than one section in a given category.
- Sections may be populated with official data, depending on implementation.
Groups are also subsets of participants for a given site. However, groups are not preloaded with official course data, and are created by the instructor or site owner instead. Groups are useful to organize study groups, project teams, and other non-official subsets of site participants.
- Groups are managed through the Site Info tool.
- Groups have a title (required) as well as a description (optional).
- Groups are not populated with official course data.
- Groups do not have an assigned teaching assistant.
- Site participants may be members of more than one group.

Artichoke PNG with transparent background you can download for free, just click on download button.
The globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus), also known by the names French artichoke and green artichoke in the U.S., is a variety of a species of thistle cultivated as a food.
The edible portion of the plant consists of the flower buds before the flowers come into bloom. The budding artichoke flower-head is a cluster of many budding small flowers (an inflorescence), together with many bracts, on an edible base. Once the buds bloom, the structure changes to a coarse, barely edible form. Another variety of the same species is the cardoon, a perennial plant native to the Mediterranean region. Both wild forms and cultivated varieties (cultivars) exist.
This vegetable grows to 1.4–2 m (4 ft 7 in–6 ft 7 in) tall, with arching, deeply lobed, silvery, glaucous-green leaves 50–83 cm (19 1⁄2–32 1⁄2 in) long. The flowers develop in a large head from an edible bud about 8–15 cm (3–6 in) diameter with numerous triangular scales; the individual florets are purple. The edible portions of the buds consist primarily of the fleshy lower portions of the involucral bracts and the base, known as the "heart"; the mass of immature florets in the center of the bud is called the "choke" or beard. These are inedible in older, larger flowers.
Large globe artichokes are frequently prepared by removing all but 5–10 mm (3⁄16–3⁄8 in) or so of the stem. To remove thorns, which may interfere with eating, around a quarter of each scale can be cut off. To cook, the artichoke is boiled or steamed. A cooked, unseasoned artichoke has a delicate flavour.
Salt may be added to the water if boiling artichokes. Covered artichokes, in particular those that have been cut, can turn brown due to the enzymatic browning and chlorophyll oxidation. Placing them in water slightly acidified with vinegar or lemon juice can prevent the discoloration.
Leaves are often removed one at a time, and the fleshy base eaten, with vinaigrette, hollandaise, vinegar, butter, mayonnaise, aioli, lemon juice, or other sauces. The fibrous upper part of each leaf is usually discarded. The heart is eaten when the inedible choke has been peeled away from the base and discarded. The thin leaves covering the choke are also edible.
In Italy, artichoke hearts in oil are the usual vegetable for the "spring" section of the "Four Seasons" pizza (alongside olives for summer, mushrooms for autumn, and prosciutto for winter). A recipe well known in Rome is Jewish-style artichokes, which are deep-fried whole. The softer parts of artichokes are also eaten raw, one leaf at the time dipped in vinegar and olive oil, or thinly sliced and dressed with lemon and olive oil.
There are many stuffed artichoke recipes. A common Italian stuffing uses a mixture of bread crumbs, garlic, oregano, parsley, grated cheese, and prosciutto or sausage. A bit of the mixture is then pushed into the spaces at the base of each leaf and into the center before boiling or steaming. A similar recipe is popular in coastal Croatia.
In Spain, the tenderer, younger, and smaller artichokes are used. They can be sprinkled with olive oil and left in hot ashes in a barbecue, sautéed in olive oil with garlic, with rice as a paella, or sautéed and combined with eggs in a tortilla (frittata).
Often cited is the Greek anginares alla Polita ("artichokes city-styled", referring to the city of Constantinople), a hearty, savory stew made with artichoke hearts, potatoes, and carrots, and flavored with onion, lemon, and dill. The island of Tinos, or the villages of Iria and Kantia in the Peloponnese, still very much celebrate their local production, including with a day of the artichoke or an artichoke festival.
Another way to use artichokes is to completely break off all of the leaves, leaving the bare heart. The leaves are steamed to soften the fleshy base part of each leaf to be used as the basis for any number of side dishes or appetizing dips, or the fleshy part is left attached to the heart, while the upper parts of the leaves are discarded. The remaining concave-shaped heart is often filled with meat, then fried or baked in a savory sauce. Frozen artichoke hearts are a time-saving substitute, though the consistency and stronger flavor of fresh hearts when available is preferred.
Throughout North Africa, the Middle East, Turkey, and Armenia, ground lamb is a favorite filling for stuffed artichoke hearts. Spices reflect the local cuisine of each country. In Lebanon, for example, the typical filling would include lamb, onion, tomato, pinenuts, raisins, parsley, dill, mint, black pepper, and allspice. A popular Turkish vegetarian variety uses only onion, carrot, green peas, and salt. Artichokes are often prepared with white sauces or other kinds of sauces.

Before you decide to sell your house, it's important to know what you can expect in the current housing market. One positive trend right now is homebuyers are adapting to today's mortgage rates and getting used to them as the new normal.
To better understand what's been happening with mortgage rates lately, the graph below shows the trend for the 30-year fixed mortgage rate from Freddie Mac since last October. As you can see, rates have been between 6% and 7% pretty consistently for the past nine months:
According to Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), mortgage rates play a significant role in buyer demand and, by extension, home sales. Yun highlights the positive impact of stable rates:
"Mortgage rates heavily influence the direction of home sales. Relatively steady rates have led to several consecutive months of consistent home sales."
As a seller, hearing that home sales are consistent right now is good news. It means buyers are out there and actively purchasing homes. Here's a bit more context on how mortgage rates have impacted demand recently.
When mortgage rates surged dramatically last year, escalating from roughly 3% to 7%, many potential buyers felt a bit of sticker shock and decided to hold off on their plans to purchase a home. However, as time has passed, that initial shock has worn off. Buyers have grown more accustomed to current mortgage rates and have accepted that the record-low rates of the last few years are behind us. As Doug Duncan, SVP and Chief Economist at Fannie Mae, says:
". . . consumers are adapting to the idea that higher mortgage rates will likely stick around for the foreseeable future."
In fact, a recent survey by Freddie Mac reveals 18% of respondents say they're likely to buy a home in the next six months. That means nearly one out of every five people surveyed plan to buy in the near future. And that goes to show buyers are planning to be active in the months ahead.
Of course, mortgage rates aren't the sole factor affecting buyer demand. No matter where mortgage rates stand, people will always have reasons to move, whether it's for job relocation, changing households, or any other personal motivation. As a seller, you can feel confident there is a market for your house today. And that demand is pretty strong as buyers settle into where rates are right now.
Bottom Line
The way buyers perceive today's mortgage rates is shifting – they're getting used to the new normal. Steady rates are contributing to strong buyer demand and consistent home sales. Connect with a local real estate agent to get your house on the market and in front of those buyers.

The Fires of Heaven (Wheel of Time 5) by Robert Jordan
I am already inside the story and it is getting harder and harder to analyse individual books. All I can say is that, again, there are a lot of incredibly condescending and arrogant people, mostly women, which are presented as indomitable based on looks or appearance or prestige, yet with not a shred of usefulness. I was reading this book and I was finding myself daydreaming of what I would say to such an annoying individual. What I find even more disturbing is that a lot of times the superiority of one's opinion was demonstrated via violence. Educational violence, mind you, switching, bottom beatings or pinches, meaningless and hard chores, but still violence and hardly acceptable to me.
Rand and Mat go together in The Fires of Heaven, but their contact is almost not existent and Mat is always trying to get away. What happened to their long time friendship? It evaporated in Jordan's writings. Perrin has saved the Two Rivers, but then married and stayed there, as if the world was saved and there was nothing to be done about it. Eqwene is with Rand as well, but more Aes Sedai and more arrogant by the minute, her relationship with Rand abandoned since subjected to the conscriptionary methods of both Aes Sedai and Wise Ones. A horrid character, if you ask me. Morraine is even more mysterious and useless as in the previous books, except for the end, where she does something heroic, but kind of dumb. Rand is getting "hard", but still suffers the people around him as he could do nothing about them. A prisoner of his own small village upbringing, he seems a sad sorry character, as remote from heroism as a dung beetle is from a professional dancer.
Interestingly enough, I found the Elayne and Nynaeve story arch a lot more satisfying. Complex, reasonable and thrilling. That until they voluntarily return to the Aes Sedai, where they have to again suffer all the humiliations an Accepted is supposed to suffer to gain "character". A new female Forsaken appears, Moghedien, but not nearly as interesting as Lanfear, who is present in this book, but terribly inconsistent. The ending of the book also annoyed the hell out of me, since I believe her outburst was completely out of character.
All and all, as interesting and captivating as the others in the Wheel of Time series, but suffering from a kind of character sublimation, in which the story is being carried by people that don't act like themselves. Book 6 is on the way.

In 2018, I promised you I would release a better version of Ubersuggest for free, and I did that.
But there was one big issue: Ubersuggest only worked on a keyword level. When you put in a keyword, you get a list of more keyword ideas and content ideas.
And then when you put in a URL, nothing happened.
Well, that was before.
You can now get domain level metrics!!!!
So let's dive into the new Ubersuggest.
Traffic Analyzer Overview
The traffic analyzer is broken down into 3 main sections: overview, top pages, and keywords.
The overview looks like this:
The first section breaks some basic stats and a graph of the domain's search traffic.
As you can see from the screenshot above, you'll see how many keywords a domain ranks for, the total estimated search traffic from that region, the number of paid keywords a site is bidding on, and how much they are spending on Google Ads.
In addition to that, you'll see a traffic graph that shows estimated search traffic a site receives over time.
And of course, a domain level overview won't be complete without data such as backlinks, referring domains, the number of .edu and .gov links, and how much the organic traffic is worth if you had to pay for it.
Now, before you head over to Ubersuggest and type in a domain, there is one thing you need to keep in mind… Ubersuggest treats subdomains as a separate site. So if you enter in store.nike.com you will get different results than if you typed in nike.com. By typing in nike.com, you would NOT see any of the data from their store unless you typed in store.nike.com.
We did this on purpose as it allows you to analyze sites more thoroughly.
Also, within the traffic analyzer, you'll see bar graphs that contain the overall positioning of the keywords you rank for over time.
The chart above shows how many keywords a domain ranks for that are in the top 3 positions in Google, the top 10 positions, the top 50 positions, and the top 100 positions.
You already know no one clicks beyond page one, but over time you'll want to see your site climbing the ranks. Hence, we track how many keywords are ranking in the first 100 positions.
Now let's get into my favorite feature of the traffic analyzer.
Top SEO Pages
The second part of the traffic analyzer is a list of the most popular pages for a given domain.
For each page, you are given the title, URL, the number of visits a page receives from Google on a monthly basis, and the number of times the URL has been shared on the social web.
My favorite part about the top SEO pages report is when you click on "view all" you'll see a list of keywords a page ranks for.
This one report will not only list out each keyword a webpage ranks for, but the position, estimated visits, cost per click data if you paid for that keyword, and how difficult it would be to rank for it.
What I love about this report is that I can put in a competing URL and see what's working really well for my competition and then copy them. Or even better, create a more in-depth page than my competition.
Plus, if you have clients who are global, you can click on the flag at the top and see the top pages for any domain in all of the major countries.
For example, here are my most popular pages in Brazil.
Top Keywords
The last section in the new Ubersuggest is top keywords.
Whether you put in your own domain or competitors, you'll be able to see all of the organic keywords and paid keywords a site is going after.
When you click on the "paid" button you'll see the list of paid keywords as well.
And just like the keyword research reports within Ubersuggest, you'll have data on URLs, paid difficulty and SEO difficulty.
I hope you enjoy the new version of Ubersuggest. I know there are still some bugs in which the reports don't load as fast as you want (Top SEO Pages can take up to 20 seconds to load) and you may have to clear your cache to see the new features, but hopefully, you enjoy the updates.
There are also some issues with duplicate keywords and misspellings. The engineering team is continually looking to fix this.
We do know there are many issues with duplicate keywords and misspellings in our Japan database, but we are working on fixing this as soon as possible.
So overall, I know it's not perfect, but what do you think so far?
And if you haven't tried it, head over to Ubersuggest and type in a domain.
PS: If you find any bugs, please email email@example.com

Your Custom Colored ANBU Brotherhood Mask
Regular price
$ 135.00
Sale price
$ 244.00
Shall I craft this mask for you?
Right now youre looking at your ANBU Brotherhood Concept Sketch of what your custom mask will look like on your chosen hand mixed clay color. Customization is the name of the game here at ANBU Brotherhood. There means might not be example photos of your particular design to show you so here are some example shots of previous hand mixed custom clay colored masks.
The first thing to know is that it takes double the work time to make your colored clay mask than it would a standard white ANBU Brotherhood mask. This is due to the physical work time of hand mixing the color of choice into the white clay. The end product is a through and through color for the skin of your mask, no scratch or chip can expose otherwise.
I take pride in matching the color of your desired mask to the actual end result, sometimes mixing an entire batch again if I dont like the way it turned out. Please be advised, working with colored clay increases the build time of your custom mask from 2-4 weeks to 4-6 weeks in most cases. These masks are completely made from scratch and by hand and do take some time to turn out. Every mask gets made, I have made and sent over 600 masks worldwide throughout the years.
Faceless Mask Standard Features:
Build Time and Shipping:
Your ANBU Brotherhood is handmade start to finish and does take time to complete. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery for a custom build. Feel free to inquire about the status of your order within that time frame as well.

Nana Compacta Hinoki Falsecypress
Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana Compacta'
Height: 5 feet
Spread: 5 feet
Hardiness Zone: 4
A graceful addition to any home landscape, this small accent tree features very finely-textured green foliage all season long on a conical form; best used for articulation or as an accent in the yard
Ornamental Features
Nana Compacta Hinoki Falsecypress is a dwarf conifer which is primarily valued in the landscape or garden for its distinctively pyramidal habit of growth. It has dark green evergreen foliage which emerges light green in spring. The scale-like sprays of foliage remain dark green throughout the winter.
Landscape Attributes
Nana Compacta Hinoki Falsecypress is a multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with a distinctive and refined pyramidal form. It lends an extremely fine and delicate texture to the landscape composition which can make it a great accent feature on this basis alone.
This is a relatively low maintenance shrub. When pruning is necessary, it is recommended to only trim back the new growth of the current season, other than to remove any dieback. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Nana Compacta Hinoki Falsecypress is recommended for the following landscape applications;
- Accent
- Vertical Accent
- Mass Planting
- Hedges/Screening
- General Garden Use
Planting & Growing
Nana Compacta Hinoki Falsecypress will grow to be about 5 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 5 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 70 years or more.
This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.

Boeing has completed a series of upgrades that substantially enhance the technological capabilities of Saudi Arabia's E-3A Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft.
Among the enhancements to improve radar capabilities and reduce repair time for the airborne surveillance fleet are systems that increase the original equipment's radar sensitivity and expand the range for tracking targets.
The upgrades, called the Radar System Improvement Program (RSIP), comprise a new radar computer, a radar control maintenance panel and electrical and mechanical software and hardware.
"The AWACS's main mission is to provide real-time situation awareness, and our teams have stayed true to that mission," said Keith Burns, Saudi AWACS programs manager for Boeing. "The modernized software, multiple radar nodes and overall enhanced operation make this is the most significant upgrade to the AWACS radar since it was developed in the 1970s."
Boeing engineers and technicians performed the installation and checkout of the first upgraded aircraft at Boeing Field in Seattle. The remaining aircraft were modified at Alsalam Aerospace Industries in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with support of Boeing engineers, technicians and a test and evaluation team.
The RSIP kit is built by Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems and has been installed on United States, United Kingdom, NATO and French AWACS fleets.
