Clarence "Mango" Magno is an accidental jeweler raised in the Bay Area. During his summers off from achieving his BFA in Music at the Herb Alpert School of Music at the California Institute of the Arts, he found himself as an apprentice at the Melissa Joy Manning studio learning the jewelry trade. Mango quickly became a master jeweler by closely studying alongside the highly skilled and talented jewelers at MJM. He is best trained at flush setting diamonds and forging hoop earrings, but loves to construct heavier gauge men's wedding bands. Mango believes a still mind and body will begin to deteriorate. Jewelry keeps his hand dexterous and nimble while studying and practicing music keeps his mind and body active. He also claims to be an excellent cook, but really just enjoys eating delicious noodles, and has way too much to say about fermented food. Outside of MJM, Mango likes exploring nature with people and taking psychedelic photos of them. Mango's Maker's Mark is a representation of his name and nickname; the letter C gestured into the outline of a mango.

Elana Jovero is a jeweler, metalsmith, wood carver, and artist. From her fine line tattoos to sculptural jewelry, Elana grew up always making art and studying her surroundings. She graduated with a BFA in Crafts: Jewelry/Metalsmithing in 2012 from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. After college, she worked with two wonderful jewelers until she landed her dream job at Melissa Joy Manning. Starting as a production jeweler, she would make hundreds of fine jewelry pieces a month, many being custom engagement rings and other limited edition pieces. In her three years since starting at MJM, she has risen to become a master jeweler and the Production Manager of the main Berkeley office. She believes that jewelry is a commemorative object of a person, moment, or feeling the wearer will hold onto forever. Giving these precious symbols and becoming a part of the vessel for these memories is a gratifying and humbling experience. Her signature, like her, is curvy, bold, and incredibly awesome, and is the main inspiration for her Maker's Mark.

Diwash Shakya was born and raised in Nepal, and moved to the Bay Area in 2001. He graduated from CSUCB with a degree in finance, but formally trained at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts in San Francisco. A fourth generation jeweler, Diwash was exposed to the jewelry industry from childhood, helping his father around his workshop; cleaning, rolling metal, melting gold, and making chain. Diwash joined the Melissa Joy Manning studio in March 2015 and quickly rose to be a master jeweler. He is best trained in bezel settings and appreciates the transformation from raw alloy to a final piece. Diwash owns the store, Lotus Within Gallery, in San Francisco, where they specialize in arts and antiques from Nepal. He hopes to one day to return to Nepal and bring the skills he learned at MJM to his father's business. Diwash's Maker's Mark is a combination of his last name in the Nepali and English alphabets, as these two cultures are deeply important in creating the person he is today.

Blythe Miller was born in Long Island, New York, and attended SUNY New Paltz in the Hudson Valley where she received her BFA in Metal. In high school she was inspired to learn more about metalsmithing while learning the trade in a small jewelry shop close by. Blythe has been working for MJM for over four years, starting as an intern and growing to Production Coordinator of the NY office. Her favorite part about making jewelry is challenging herself with complicated construction. Soldering being one of her strongest skills, she is intrigued by the process of making jewelry, and how it's almost like putting together intricate and delicate gold puzzles that end up creating something beautiful. She describes jewelry making as an "interpretive dance" with metal, where there are so many small factors, motions, and visuals that have to be controlled and brought together in just the right way to make things work. Blythe's makers mark uses her initials in a minimalistic aesthetic, focusing on the clean curves that flow into distinct angles.

More than 10 fire engines were called to market at about 4:30am, said Lt Sunan Petchnoo of Thalang Police.
"No one was injured in the fire," Lt Sunan confirmed to The Phuket News.
Local residents said the fire broke out at about 4:10am, when they saw black smoke billowing out from the unit owned by Auschara Saetiao, Lt Sunan explained
Ms Auschara, 49, lives in the unit but operates her SangDee clothes shop at the front of the unit, he added.
"The fire quickly spread to the other units. Firefighters arrived very quickly but took one hour to control the fire," Lt Sunan explained.
"The road past the market was closed to traffic while firefighters brought the flames under control," he added.
Four of the five units consumed by the fire were single level, with Kan Saetiao, 51, residing in two single-level units, and Jutharat Lilapansit, 46, living in one unit with her fashion clothes shop at the front.
"Ms Ratee Krajanglok, 53, lives in the two-level unit at the end of the block. She has a clothes shop downstairs but lives upstairs with her family," Lt Sunan said.
"Luckily they all escaped from the buildings unharmed," he added.
"Police will investigate to find what caused the fire," Lt Sunan said.
The fire is estimated to have caused "many millions" of baht in damage.
It has yet to be confirmed whether all the buildings were covered by insurance.

Feature Request - ARPreach Integration for email campaigns with custom htmlAsked by albasiero on April 18, 2014 at 05:37 AM
I want to integrate a ARP Reach opt in form into a jotform. When someone fills a jot form, his email address would automatically included in one arp reach list. I noticed you integrated aweber, mailchimp and other email services, but there is no custom html code option. Can I integrate my arp reach forms into jotform?
JotForm Support
Can you please provide us more details about ARP Reach?
Is this what you mean http://www.arpreach.com/
We can submit a feature integration request to our higher team support, but we need to more about the application before we can submit.
If you can provide us more details, we will look into it.
Yes, this is the app. It is an app for email marketing you install on your own site. It has an "Action remote access key". Tell me what details you need.
I think what you've stated may be enough to give us a general idea about it and if we need more information we'll let you know or we may just research it further on the app website for it now that you've confirmed this for us.
I will also go ahead and open up a feature request for this on your behalf so that our developers can look into it for consideration. We won't be able to provide an estimated timeframe, but if and when this gets added then you'll be notified about it here in this thread.
Can you please add my request for this feature - we are big users of Arpreach and without a link will be unable to use Jotforms.
As far as I know, Arpreach integration is simple. But it just need to be done...
JotForm Support
Unfortunately, there's no update yet about this request. If there's any, we will notify you via this thread.
Thank you for patience and understanding!
arpReach recently added an API to their system. I have seen that a couple developers have add arpReach to their plugin so I assume it's good to go.
I'm trying to find a url or email I can refer developers to but nothing other than their contact link at
Hope this helps as it's been a road block for me as well.
@Mike (firstname.lastname@example.com)
It seems to me that you are just informing us and the original thread owner about that. Thank you for the update about it.
If they've added an API then you could try connect it with our own API or the forms source code if you have the programming knowledge or are willing to hire someone to create it for you. But, it would have to be done outside of jotform and be able to read the form information to work and it is something we cannot fully guarantee since we still do not have any sort of integration for it yet.

- Prep:
- 55 min
- Cook:
- 30 min
- Serves:
- 8
- 1/4 cup (55g) sultanas
- 30ml (1 1/2 tbsp) Frangelico
- 200ml thickened cream
- 350ml full cream milk
- 1 ½ teaspoons Queen Organic Vanilla Bean Paste
- Zest ½ Orange (1 tbsp zest)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
- Thick slices day old bread
- 100g butter, softened
Step 1
Warm up the Frangelico in the microwave then add to sultanas in a small bowl to soften and soak up the liqueur for a few minutes.
Step 2
Butter slices of bread generously on each side, then cut in half and layer the slices into a 28cm baking pan ensuring that the slices do not sit above the edge of the pan. Gently scatter the sultanas in between the slices of bread evenly.
Step 3
In a saucepan combine the milk, cream, vanilla, cinnamon and orange zest and gently heat ensuring the mixture does not boil.
Step 4
Meanwhile beat the eggs with 75g of the caster sugar until pale and airy. Discard the cinnamon stick from the milk and cream mixture and then pour the mixture over the eggs, beating until incorporated.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture over the break until all the liquid has been added. Press down on the bread gently to help the mixture soak into the bread. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 25g sugar and set aside for 30 minutes.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and then bake the pudding for 30 – 35 minutes or until the top is golden and set. Serve immediately.

Now, here is an interesting little theory I came up with by accident.
A lot of people have misunderstood why bloggers are asking "what happened when MiB entered the cave?" This is not because we want details of the physical, chemical and biological transformation process by which MiB went in, and Black Smoke came out, but rather of the significance of the event. There are two main interpretations:
- The Black Smoke was a pre-existing entity, biding its time until an opportunity arose. MiB's body (alive or dead) represented that opportunity, and the entity secured its release, and has been forever afterwards pretending to be Jacob's brother.
- Whatever happened in the cave, the Black Smoke was created by sending MiB into there, and the Black Smoke is simply the essence of MiB, which, over time, has grown in anger and malice.
The distinction is important, if only because (1) places the Black Smoke as a creature of total malevolence, with no hope of redemption; if (2), then as the Black Smoke was once a man, there is still hope and the smoke could be redeemed. It is the distinction between the irredeemable (1), and the redeemable (2).
The Smoke says it wants to go home. Jack accepts from Jacob the task of stopping it. If (1) is correct, then "going home", is a ruse, and is simply the means to an end, in which the Black Smoke will destroy mankind. If (2) is correct, then "going home" is an end in itself, and the Black Smoke simply has has enough of the island, and wants to leave.
"Let it go, Jack!"
... make your own mind up.

An island for nature lovers
The colour green in all its hues envelops you on Thasos. Take the tree-lined roads from the beaches to the ravines, lakes, cascades and foot-paths around the village. Discover the following trails, on foot or mountain bike and be rewarded: Maries-Prinos, Panagia-Potamia-Ypsario, Kallirahi-Prinos, Hrisi Ammoudia-Limenas. For lovers of outdoor sports, Thasos is the ideal summer destination for an adventure-filled holiday.
Arrival at Limenas
This is Thasos' link to the mainland and its capital since antiquity. Be sure to see the ancient agora; the sanctuaries of Herakles, Dionysos, Artemis and Poseidon; and the incredible view from the Acropolis and the 5th century BC theatre – all testament to the island's long history. To get back to today's world, walk through the central market and its dozens of shops as well as the small harbour on the beach. At night you'll have fun choosing your favourite from among dozens of restaurants and bars.
Palataki at Limenaria
Palataki (little palace) is a two-storey rectangular building with a pair of towers, a typical example of eclecticism. Built in the early 1900s to provide office space for Speidel, the German company that was in charge of the island's mines, it's considered the most impressive of the administrative buildings and attractions in the Aegean and it's surrounded by one of the most important industrial monuments in the Mediterranean. Thasos has been a mining centre since antiquity with rich deposits of mercury, lead, iron, manganese and white marble.
Paradise on Earth
Truth in advertising! The exotic beach that goes by the name Paradise is considered one of the finest in the Aegean.
The beaches of Thasos
You will probably run out of stamina before Thasos runs out of beaches: Chrysi Akti, Chrysi Ammoudia, Agios Antonios, Alykes, Trypiti, Skala Potamia, Paralia Limena, Pefkari, Skala Rahoiou, Gkiola, Saliara or Marble beach as the enamoured foreign tourists call it. The combination of the azure of the sea, pale or golden sand and green backdrops with enchant you. Topping it off are the tavernas, beach bars and water sports available at some of the most popular beaches.
Thasos has it all: scuba diving and instructors at Pefkari, water skiing at Chrysi Ammoudia, Pefkari and Psili Ammos, windsurfing at Paradise and boat rides to the most isolated beaches from all over. Fun and games in the sea and wind on the island of your dreams.
High-end hospitality
No matter your budget, Thasos will more than satisfy you. Whether you opt for one of the five-star hotels and villas, or just a room or furnished apartment, everything is here for you, from swimming pools and poolside bars with a view of the sea in a well-tended garden, to water massages and restaurants.
Summer Festival
The annual summer Kavala-Thasos festival hosts notable performances and concerts. The cultural events reach their peak with the representation of the 'Thasos wedding', where you'll relive the revival of ancient Dionysian traditions through local wedding customs.
The Archaeological Museum of Thasos
A 3.5m tall kouros – an imposing statue representing a male youth – greets you as you enter the museum, which holds an important collection of finds from the 7th century BC to the 7th century AD, in a renovated and expanded building of the 1930s.
The villages of Thasos
Whether on the coast or inland you'll discover beautiful little villages all over the island: Agios Georgios, Alyki, Theologos, Kallirahi, Kastro, Kazaviti, Koinyra, Limenaria, Maries, Panagia.
"The white Thasos marble that makes the pebbles on beaches, such as Paradisos and Saliara, look like they come from another planet."
" In fact this is what Thassos is all about: an emerald heaven with authentic landscapes and a mouth-watering cuisine. And everywhere the fragrances of pine and honey embellish the ultimate summer experience."

NEW YORK — A director of a technical team for the U.S. Department of Energy's FreedomCAR program says it will take more than a decade before mass-produced fuel cell-powered vehicles hit dealer showrooms.
Patrick B. Davis told the recent Fuel Cell Dynamics 2002 Forum here that it will be 2012 before about 50,000 FCVs are on the road. It will be 2015 before 500,000 to 1 million FCVs go on sale, he forecasts.
The forum was sponsored by Allied Business Intelligence, a New York think tank that studies emerging technical developments. Davis told attendees that the announced schedules by auto makers to have FCV fleets on the road by 2004 will result in tens or perhaps hundreds of vehicles for test fleets in two or three states. In the next phase, hundreds of FCVs will be operated by government users in five to eight targeted sites.
He forecasts that only some 5,000 FCVs will be in service for taxis and buses in the 2008 to 2012 timeframe. This will allow auto makers to analyze consumer acceptance before going into mass production.
The FreedomCAR program requires auto makers to bear the costs of developing FCVs. However, the government will pay for hydrogen fuel and infrastructure development. The government also will buy the FCVs that go into their test fleets. DOE will submit a report to Congress in November on progress of the FreedomCAR program and is entertaining a budget proposal of some $150 million. The report is expected to call for a large vehicle demonstration plan divided into three phases stretching out to 2012.

text: I found this episode to be very unimpressive. Liev Schreiber does quite well in the first episode of his guest stint on the show. Kepler appears to be very similar to Grissom in the sense that he is very low key and analytical and I like that. What I didn't like in this episode is the absence of the good writing style that we have seen quite a bit in the past on CSI. This episode seemed more focused introducing Schreiber's character than giving the viewer a good story to get involved in. I hope this flaw will be corrected in future episodes.

The head of an Australian inquiry into the abuse of aboriginal teens in a detention center in the Northern Territory has resigned before being replaced by an aboriginal leader.
Brian Martin, who was a former judge in the Northern Territory, announced his resignation on Monday, saying he lacked the confidence of the indigenous community.
"I'm not the only person who can conduct this commission effectively and competently and it is critical that whoever is appointed has the confidence of those who are vitally concerned with this matter," he added.
Martin said he did not perceive "that there is any problem with bias, either actual or perception of bias, but others do."
Attorney-General George Brandis stressed that Martin's resignation "does not imply that a royal commission conducted by him would have been tainted by either real or apprehended bias."
The government of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull ordered the investigation into the treatment of the aboriginal teens which came into the limelight only last Monday.
Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) aired footage showing aboriginal youths being abused by prison guards in the Don Dale Youth Detention Center in Northern Territory between 2010 and 2014.
The video showed the youths being stripped naked by the guards at the facility, thrown by the neck into a cell and held for long periods in solitary confinement.
According to Brandis, two royal commissioners will now head the inquiry.
One of them is indigenous leader Mick Gooda, who will co-chair the inquiry with former Supreme Court of Queensland justice Margaret White, said Brandis.
The aboriginal leaders had formerly said they would not cooperate with the investigation unless they were represented on the commission. They also demanded that the inquiry determine whether race was a factor in the abuse.
Aborigines comprise three percent of Australia's population, while they make up 27 percent of the prison population and 94 percent of teen inmates in the Northern Territory.
The communities are considered the most disadvantaged in Australia, suffering higher rates of imprisonment, unemployment, illness and child mortality.
On Saturday, hundreds of people rallied in major cities across Australia, criticizing the government's response to the abuse.
The United Nations Commission on Human Rights has also called on the government to compensate the victims.

I had recently posted on a blog a couple days ago in regards to Richard's origins. The blogger suggested that he might have been the First Mate on the Black Rock. However, I pointed out, the Black Rock was a British slave ship and Richard is not British. I doubt he would have been First Mate. So then I thought
perhaps he was one of the slaves?

I introduce the problem of transforming one optical pulse into another via nonlinear propagation in a length of dispersion varying optical fibre. Then using a genetic algorithm to design the dispersion profiles, I show that the problem can be solved leading to high quality pulse transforms that are significantly better than what has been published previously. Finally I suggestion further work and other applications for this method.

Max Petroleum says that Sberbank has unconditionally granted a six month standstill on all principal and interest payments due under the Company's c.US$80 million loan through to 14 December 2015. In addition, the Company has accrued US$3.8 million of interest as of 30 June 2015. Interest will continue to accrue during the standstill period.
The Company continues in operation under severe financial stress, currently producing in excess of 3,500 barrels of oil per day, including from the Sagiz West field after regulatory permission was granted in June to resume production from both Sagiz West and East Kyzylzhar I fields under Trial Production Phase. East Kyzylzhar I field commissioning and return to production of several hundred additional barrels per day is also expected in the next week.
Max Petroleum has received notification from the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan alleging that, under tax legislation, payments of over US$20 million are due for Soviet-era historical data costs incurred in the Company's Blocks A&E licence area. The Company disagrees with this interpretation and application of the tax legislation and considers that to date it has met its obligations to reimburse historical costs as they fall due. The Company intends to put its case to the tax authorities.

Christian CÉNAC
- K1: 1ère Garratt en Tasmanie/1st Garratt in Tasmania, published by the author (23 rue des Martyrs de la Libération, 31400 Toulouse, France) (1996), ISBN 2-9505403-3-3. A thorough account of the North-East Dundas Tramway and its rolling stock, in particular the pioneer Garratt K1, now being rebuilt for the Welsh Highland. Parallel French and English text, though the reader of French will be at an advantage in many places. Comes with a supplement of 147 detailed A3 drawings to 1:19 scale, of which 49 are devoted to K1. Original watercolours take the place of historical photographs. Expensive but worth it for K1 devotees; available in the UK through Camden Miniature Steam Services, Bath.
Peter DEEGAN:
- Welsh Highland Wonderland, Pride Books (1982), ISBN 0-946283-00-1; a good selection of pictures of the old WHR, reproduced in large format if not always top quality.
Ffestiniog Railway Company:
- Rheilffordd Eryri/Welsh Highland Railway: Traveller's Guide, This route guide is updated regularly and is available through the Railway's shops. It is reproduced to a high standardand intended to introduce the visitor not just to the railway journey but also to the communities and countryside served by the Railway, and activities complementary to riding on WHR.
Gordon & Ann HATHERILL:
- Slate Quarry Album, RCL Publications (2001), ISBN 0-9538763-2-2 (softback), 0-9538763-3-0 (hardback). A fascinating insight into the detail of slate quarries and their internal railways. Deals mostly with two Blaenau Ffestiniog quarries, but the coverage is also relevant to those served by the WHR. The cover features a fine picture looking across Llyn-y-Gadair from its small quarry to Rhyd Ddu Station.
David GWYN
- Welsh Slate - Archaeology and History of an Industry (2015) ISBN 978-1-871184-51-8 (also a Welsh language edition ISBN 978-1-871184-52-5) A beautifully produced account of the slate industry of Wales in its broadest sense, highly readable and informative as a background to the narrow gauge railways of the area.
Richard L. HILLS:
- Beyer, Peacock: Locomotive Builders to the World, 3rd impression, Venture Publications (1998), ISBN 1-898432-05-8; the history of the Manchester firm that built the Welsh Highland Garratt locomotives, includes pictures of K1 being built in 1909 and much else.
- The Origins of the Garratt Locomotive, Plateway Press (2000), ISBN 1-871980-43-7. Learned material about the early development of the Garratt (some texts already seen elsewhere, including in The Snowdon Ranger), plus archive photos of K1 being built (same as in the above volume) and at work in Tasmania (not featured in the BP volume), surrounding a facsimile reprint of H.W. Garratt's booklet The Garratt Patent Locomotive. Recommended despite some odd slips, mainly on the rear cover (K1 is an 0-4-0+0-4-0, not an 0-1-0+0-1-0 - shades of Emett! - and a photo titled as being at Dinas is in fact at Minffordd), all royalties are being donated by the author towards the restoration of K1.
John C. HOPKINS:
- Rheilffordd Eryri/The Welsh Highland Railway: 1991 to 2003, 4th edition, December 2003, 388pp. Published by the author, in aid of the funds of the Welsh Highland Railway Society. A very thorough and mainly first-hand account of the purposes, proceedings and outcomes of the Public Inquiries and High Court cases (etc) which have allowed reconstruction of the WHR, including much detail and documentation which may be unfamiliar to those who were not closely involved. Although it concentrates on the administrative side of the revival, this is by far the most thorough published account of how the WHR revival has come about, and the complexities involved, from the first suggestions of reopening during World War Two up until reopening to Rhyd Ddu in August 2003. Please note that only pre-ordered copies of this printing were produced, it was not intended for general sale.
Peter JOHNSON:
- Portrait of the Welsh Highland Railway, Ian Allan Publishing Ltd. (1999), ISBN 0-7110-2658-0; an account of the old WHR, its predecessors, and the modern revival(s). Includes several historical photos not widely seen in print before, in addition to better reproductions than usual of many of the familiar ones, and fresh research on aspects including the enigmatic PB&SSR. Updated 2nd edition published 2000.
- An Illustrated History of the Welsh Highland Railway, Oxford Publishing Company (2002), ISBN 0-8609-3565-5. The most comprehensive single volume yet published on the WHR, its predecessors and revival. Fresh research from primary sources amplifies and effectively rewrites much of the corporate and legal history in considerably better and clearer detail than publications previously regarded as "standard". Historical pictures are a mix of familiar views and a good variety of others little or never seen in print before, from NWNGR and "old" WHR periods. The book includes clear, brand new maps from this site's map maker John Sreeves, comparing various proposed, historical and future routes. While less detailed in some areas (e.g. rolling stock, history and operations of WHR [Porthmadog]), this is essential reading for the Welsh Highland enthusiast.
- An Illustrated History of the Welsh Highland Railway, Oxford Publishing Company (2009), ISBN 0-8609-3565-5. The Second Edition of Peter Johnson's comprehensive treatise of the Welsh Highland Railway. Much of the illustrative content of this edition is new, including many in colour. For those that have the first edition this 2nd edition should be considered a compliment rather than a replacement.
- The 40 Mile Railway. Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways (2013) ISBN-13: 978-0901848130. An account of the 40 miles of WHR and FfR railways with accounts of the history, engineering and lineside features. Well illustrated and engaging.
Gwynfor Pierce JONES and Alun John RICHARDS:
- Cwm Gwyrfai: The Quarries of the North Wales Narrow Gauge and the Welsh Highland Railways, Gwasg Carreg Gwalch (2004), ISBN 0-8638-1897-8, 368 pages. A meticulous labour of love which makes the varied and complex histories of the slate quarries served by the NWNGR and WHR much clearer than ever before; covers quarries physically connected to the "main line" and Bryngwyn Branch, plus nearby quarries which were not. Concentrates on slate with some passing references to the metal mines. Best read in conjunction with large scale O.S. maps; while the book includes a modest selection of maps and pictures (some unfamiliar) it concentrates on text. Exceptional value for money.
John KEYLOCK (compiler):
- The Welsh Highland Railway, An Historical Guide. Part One: Caernarfon to Rhyd Ddu, Welsh Highland Railway Heritage Group (2005). A valuable parallel to the "modern" guide book, presented in a similar format but using archive photos mostly taken between the 1890s and 1940s. Includes some not believed to have been published before, and particularly good reproductions of more familiar ones (notably an uncropped version of the 1893 Dinas "wardrobe photo"). The text is clear and detailed and conveys the very different atmosphere of the former WHR. Includes a new version of Lewis Esposito's Heritage Trail map as the centrespread.
- The Welsh Highland Railway, An Historical Guide. Part Two: Rhyd Ddu to Porthmadog Welsh Highland Railway Heritage Group (2012) A similar volume covering the second half of the route. Both volumes available from the Welsh Highland Railway Heritage Group
Michael J.T. LEWIS & John H. DENTON:
- Rhosydd Slate Quarry, 3rd ed., Adit Publications (1994), ISBN 0-9522979-0-6. The story of one of the slate quarries that fed the old WHR via the Croesor Tramway, its industrial archaeology, and an insight into a vanished way of life. The book that set the standard for all studies of slate quarries published since its first edition in the 1970s.
Vic MITCHELL & Keith SMITH:
- Branch Lines around Portmadoc (1923-46), Middleton Press (1993), ISBN 1-873793-13-8; a photograph-based account of the WHR and Festiniog Railway in the given period. Includes the much-debated "Picture 84", showing what may well be an ex-NWNGR carriage unrecorded by previous histories.
Geoff MURDOCH:
- Tasmania's Hagans: The North-East Dundas Tramway Articulated "J" Class, published by the author (Queensland, Australia) (1998), ISBN 0-646-33442-5; available in the UK through Camden Miniature Steam Services, Bath. Primarily about the remarkable semi-articulated Hagans 2-6-4-0T J1, which preceded our Garratt K1 in Tasmania, but also rich in details and photographs of K1's original home. Into the bargain, the author presents a practical and well-argued defence of the reputation of the much-maligned J1.
Andrew NEALE:
- "Russell": The Story of an Historic Narrow Gauge Steam Locomotive, WHR Ltd. (1996), ISBN 0950-1178-3-8. The story of the WHR's most famous locomotive, and its restoration.
Lou RAE:
- A History of Railways and Tramways on Tasmania's West Coast, An historical account of Tasmania's railways that covers the North East Dundas Tramway, the original home of K1. Currently out of print but frequently seen on the second hand market.
William G. REAR:
- Caernarvon and the Lines from Afonwen and Llanberis, Scenes from the Past series no. 28, Foxline Publishing (1996), ISBN 1-870119-42-8. One of WHRS member Bill Rear's numerous books about railways and transport in North Wales; this volume features Caernarfon-Dinas in standard gauge days, plus much else of interest.
Alun John RICHARDS:
- A Gazetteer of the Welsh Slate Industry, Gwasg Carreg Gwalch (1991, out of print), ISBN 0-86381-196-5. Summary history and physical decription of every known slate quarry in Wales, from the largest concerns down to the smallest trial workings, including cross-referencing of differing names for individual sites.
- The Slate Railways of Wales, Gwasg Carreg Gwalch (2001), ISBN 0-86381-689-4. Inexpensive but thorough and readable introduction to railways (narrow and standard gauges) serving the slate industry, plus useful guides to physical remains of those which no longer exist.
- See Alun John Richards's site, which among other things, includes useful amendments to his books.
Gordon RUSHTON:
- Welsh Highland Railway Renaissance. Adlestrop Press (2012) ISBN 978-09571456-0-3. Arguably the definitive account of the rebuilding of the Welsh Highland Railway, drawing heavily on the material from Ben Fisher's project website. Generously illustrated, weighty and comprehensive.
Dave SALTER and Dave WORRALL:
- Walks from the Welsh Highland Railway. Part 1: Caernarfon to Rhyd Ddu, Walks with History series, Gwasg Carreg Gwalch (2003), ISBN 0-86381-816-1. A pocket-sized guide to a set of imaginative and well researched walks around WHR(C), commendable for not ignoring the areas served by the lower stretches of the line, and offering a good mix of easier and more demanding routes. Includes historical and modern photos in mono, including some not seen in print for some time (e.g. Beddgelert posed solo with a passenger train).
John STRETTON:
- The Welsh Highland Railway: Caernarfon to Porthmadog - A Phoenix Rising, Silver Link Publishing Ltd. (1999), ISBN 1-85895-142-9; a good presentation of the past, present and future of the Welsh Highland, with a thorough set of illustrations including some unfamiliar (and thus welcome!) historical photographs. Includes pieces by David Allan and John Keylock (The "64 Company"), Colin Hill (K1: The World's First Garratt) and the late Handel Kardas (The Future).
- The Welsh Highland Railway: Volume 2: Halfway to Paradise, The Nostalgia Collection series, Past & Present Publishing Ltd (2004), ISBN 1-85895-233-6. This second mainly pictorial volume takes the story on from Dinas to Rhyd Ddu, and also looks ahead at rebuilding the remainder of the WHR. Numerous historical views are also included, some previously unpublished or not in print for some time. A worthwhile addition to the bookshelf despite a few detail errors in the captions. Includes texts by Dave Kent (The Continuing Story), John Keylock (Heritage) and David Allan (The '64 Company: an Update).
- The Welsh Highland Railway:Volume 3: Ain't No Stopping Us Now. The Nostalgia Collection series, Pant & Present Publishing Ltd (2009), ISBN 1-85895-259-8 John Stretton continues the story comparing the old railway in operation and in dereliction with the newly restored section from Rhyd Ddu, through Beddgelert and the Aberglaslyn Pass. 128 pages, paperback.
Cliff THOMAS:
- Quarry Hunslets of North Wales: The Great (Little) Survivors, Oakwood Press (2001 - updated reprint Autumn 2004), ISBN 0-85361-575-6. Although not directly about the WHR, an absorbing book which features the few Quarry Hunslets that worked in quarries that fed the old WHR (including a works photo of Glanrafon Quarry's unusual and elusive Silurian), plus the various survivors which have visited WHR(P) and WHR(C), and the project to recreate Lady Madcap at WHR(P).
Alun TURNER:
- The Welsh Highland Railway: a History, 4th edition, Stenlake Publishing (2003), ISBN 1-84033-263-8. A further revised version of this familiar concise, well illustrated and competitively priced history of the old WHR. Unfortunately there are a few wrong picture captions - some spectacularly wrong, others more subtly so - which may trap the unwary. Pictorial coverage includes a number of interesting "recent finds" not widely seen elsewhere, notably a fine picture of the NWNGR General Manager at Snowdon Ranger with an inspection trolley. The text of the second edition (1990) is on the Web.
Recommended viewing
- Return to Dinas, VHS video, Jon Marsh Ciné Film and Video Services vol.9, 1997; 90 minutes of competent amateur footage showing numerous aspects of the construction and operation of Phase 1 of WHR (Caernarfon). Also features WHR (Porthmadog) in 1995. Proceeds from the tape go to WHR appeals including the restoration of Garratt K1.
- Welsh Highland to Waunfawr, VHS video, Jon Marsh Ciné Film and Video Services vol.12, 2000; 2 hours. More of the same very thorough approach; Jon features WHR (Caernarfon) operations and special events after the opening to Dinas, but concentrates on the preparation and execution of Phase 2 to Waunfawr, with commentary on regular visits to the site as it was transformed from dereliction to a railway once more, showing a series of trackbed walks, plus lineside and on-board sequences with work trains. Includes a short sequence showing work on K1's power units at Boston Lodge. Concludes in August 2000 with diesel and steam test trains and the first public trains
- Welsh Highland Railway re-opening to Rhyd Ddu, DVD-R or VHS, Jon Marsh Ciné Film and Video Services, 2003; 1 hour 45 minutes. Thorough coverage of Phase 3, digitally mastered and edited, from footage of the untouched trackbed to the opening day, via regular site visits during construction, including lineside and on board footage of works trains (including the delivery of the Betws Garmon river bridge), test trains (including the first steam arrival at Rhyd Ddu) and the Royal visit.
- Welsh Highland Railway Building Back to Beddgelert, DVD, Jon Marsh Ciné Film and Video Services, 1 hour 29 minutes. This DVD covers the rebuilding of the line from Rhyd Ddu to Beddgelert. Starting with scenes showing the undisturbed route, progress is followed through to the running of special trains in 2007. Included is some coverage of work between Pen-y-Mount and Pont Croesor. In addition we experience trips on construction works trains and the sponsor special train.
- Welsh Highland Railway Construction Beddgelert to Porthmadog, DVD, Jon Marsh Ciné Film and Video Services, 1 hour 30 minutes. This DVD covers the second part of Phase 4, the rebuilding of the line from Beddgelert to Porthmadog. Starting with scenes showing the undisturbed route, progress is followed through construction to the Golden Spike and special trains in 2008 and 2009. In addition we experience trips on sponsor special trains.
- For the Love of Steam: Re-instating the Welsh Highland Railway, Beca Video/S4C/Ffestiniog Railway, 1998, c.65 minutes. Extended English-language version of S4C's memorable documentary Codi Stêm: Stori Ail-sefydlu Rheilffordd Eryri, including extensive footage of Garratt 138 (and others) in South Africa and Wales, the construction and opening of Phase 1 of WHR (Caernarfon).
- For the Love of Steam II: Re-instating the Welsh Highland Railway, Dinas - Waunfawr, S4C/Beca, 2000, c.38 minutes. Complementary to the above title, an extended version in English of the second Beca WHR programme, Ail Godi Stêm, which was transmitted on S4C in December 2000. Although shorter than the first feature it is packed with interest, covering Phase 2 of the project from Dinas to Waunfawr, including the official opening, the September 2000 Gala with Russell, Taliesin, and double-headed Garratts, plus an introduction to the task of reinstatement onwards to Porthmadog (anyone puzzled by the twisting route above Beddgelert will find their questions answered by a graphic neatly overlaid on an aerial shot). Features interviews with many people involved with the railway, and with local people - not all of them pro-railway. Also has brief footage of winter services taken after the S4C version was broadcast. Picture aspect ratios are "stretched" vertically on a standard TV (where they were stretched horizontally in the S4C version), but production values are otherwise high.
- Welsh Highland Railway: "Lein Bach", Logan Video Services, 2nd edition 2000, c.60 minutes. An accurate and well-told history of the WHR, concentrating on the original railway and its predecessors and using accounts from locals who remember the old line, and historians. Also features Palmerston and Russell at WHR (Porthmadog) in 1998, and a footplate ride from Dinas to Caernarfon on Beyer-Garratt 138. Despite the odd liberty in the choice of illustrations, and an abrupt historical leap from 1937 to 1997, has plenty to offer for newcomers and WHR afficionados alike. The updated second edition adds some 22 minutes to the original programme, covering the tasks involved in the extension to Waunfawr plus test trains, and the September 2000 opening and Gala. The style changes in this extra part, with clear explanations by the people involved rather than presentation by a single narrator, but is none the worse for it. Logan intend to produce expanded and updated versions of the programme as WHR rebuilding progresses, and offer the opportunity for purchasers of earlier versions to trade them in (see their site).
- Rheilffordd Eryri/Welsh Highland Railway : Caernarfon to Rhyd Ddu - A Driver's-Eye View, double DVD set, Ffestiniog Railway, 2005, 130 minutes in total. Filmed on the first return journey of the 2005 Super Power weekend and released the following day! The title is a slight misnomer, as part of the driver's view on Garratt no. 138 Mileniwm/Millennium is taken up by the loco's tanks.

The waxing moon makes predawn skies your best bet for this annual meteor shower
The moon is at first-quarter phase Thursday the 18th. Even with only half its face illuminated, the moon washes out the stars of amid the constellation Cancer the crab, in which it rests that night. But if you look beyond the moon, you will see that it is juxtaposed between a triangle of three more or less equally bright stars: Procyon to the west, Regulus to the east and Pollux to the north.

China to U.S.: You Should Talk
The State Department recently released its regular report of human rights abuses around the world and, as expected, listed China as one of the worst offenders. But Beijing fired back with its own report and a long list U.S. violations, including everything from disregard for civilian casualties to treating racial minorities as an underclass.
"Relying on its strong military power, the United States has trespassed on the sovereignty of other countries and violated human rights in other countries," Xinhua quoted the document as saying, released by the State Council, or cabinet.
It cited foreign media reports in detailing the number of civilian deaths in Iraq.
"The document says the United States has a flagrant record of violating the Geneva Convention in systematically abusing prisoners during the Iraqi war and the war in Afghanistan," Xinhua said.

Tucson, AZ (PressExposure) June 18, 2008 -- After 28 years of working on behalf of employees and injured workers, attorney Mike Moore announces the launch of Vision HR Solutions, Inc., a HR product and service firm dedicated to providing small- to mid-sized professional businesses with strategic HR support. The firm's approach protects the employer from meritless employee claims and administration while increasing profitability.
"Working with the Vision system requires a paradigm shift in employer attitudes toward employee behavior," says Moore. "Traditionally, human resources is considered an expense item on the books, but our system is designed to enhance revenue."
Vision's products and services provide the same--or better--protection to small employers as corporate law firms deliver to major corporations. The costs of such HR consultancy and related services are prohibitive to the vast majority of small professional practices. With more than 25 years in employment law, Moore has turned defendants' human resources policies against the companies many times. The Vision HR System is comprised of two elements: a customized employment practices handbook, and a Vision Solution Center that backs up the employer in use of the handbook.
The policies under Vision HR Solutions change the employer-employee dynamic. Vision does this by rejecting the organization of traditional human resources policies, and instead focuses on programs that foster employee satisfaction, all while protecting the employer. Further, the objective is to eliminate the anxiety in dealing with employee behavior issues.
"We focus on small businesses, and dental and medical practices because those are the employers most in need of help," says Moore. "Employee policies are the last thing they want to deal with, and consequently, they suffer greatly from abusive and disgruntled employees that, in service businesses, can tear up the bottom line."
The system was designed from Moore's experience in suing companies, and through surveys of employee satisfaction in various work environments. The system also has a built-in protection from claims of disgruntled employees.
"We expect the employee to take responsibility for his or her own behavior and performance," Moore explains. "Our system has no sticks--only carrots. There are no warnings, no notices, and no disciplinary suspensions. We have a robust employee concerns feedback loop built into the policy. Our system makes employees happy and confident. And in such an environment, good employees do not leave."
A bad employee can kill revenue. "Too often we see a doctor literally being held hostage by a long-term employee who has become intolerable. Experience has shown that when that employee is separated, the average jump in revenue to the business is more than $25,000 per month," Moore adds. "Using the Vision system, the employer can separate such employees with confidence, dramatically improving the bottom line."

So I took a bit of a break, not only from my Vanguard but from Mass Effect in general. Every now and then you need to do something like that. And it paid off. I felt a lot more relaxed when I started up again, and a bit more confident in my abilities. So I did some more flying around, got the Firewalker side quests done and out of the way, bought some upgrades from the stores, and went to recruit the Krogan.
Mission - Dossier: The Warlord
- Equipment
- Pistol - M-5 Phalanx
- SMG - M-12 Locust
- Shotgun - M-22 Eviscerator
- Heavy - M-622 Avalanche
Party - Garrus, Jack
So we started out as per normal, though I finally started using Charge a bit more freely. I even started showing off a little, Charging one enemy to death, turning and firing at another, then punching a third before retreating. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for those freaks hanging out in "sniper nests." Shockwave does, I discovered, and sometimes it knocks them OFF their little perch and into oblivion. Kinda funny watching a merc fly through the air, limbs waving like crazy, only to meet the nice hard ground below. For those that didn't, a Phalanx shot or Reave worked wonders. When we were in the broken down ship, I started following advice and "Charge-Danced" around the battlefield, bashing or shooting (or just plain flattening with Charge,) quickly hiding, and repeating. Deadly, got close to dying a couple of times, but it was fun. Worked my way past Okeer. Jedore was actually easy, I knew how this fight went, and like I said before, I LOVE that Avalanche. I simply pulled it out ahead of time, shot a barrage of shots her way, enough to strip whatever defenses she may've had. I waited 'till the YMIR Mech had moved on a little before Charging over, shattering her nicely, then focusing on the mech. Good fight, since me and my team were on opposite sides of the map. Finished up, grabbed Grunt (latter "birthed" him,) and moved on.
Mission - Horizon
- Equipment
- Pistol - M-5 Phalanx
- SMG - M-12 Locust
- Shotgun - M-22 Eviscerator
- Heavy - M-622 Avalanche
- (Not a whole lot of changing, no?)
Party - Garrus, Mordin
I was ready for this mission, having got enough upgrades I could buy or find and research. I took Mordin along this time for some extra Armor burning potential. Can't say I REALLY needed it at first, as I only encountered freaks with Barriers, which Reave disposed of nicely. A couple of times I Charged in, fired of a shot, and walked backwards to my old position, blasting away. By the time I worked my way to Harbinger, I had already picked up the Collector Beam Weapon, though useful, wasn't exactly high on my list of weapons at the moment, too much time out of cover. So I swapped it when I could. My first meeting (on this file) with Harbinger went surprisingly well. Reave did quite nicely on his Barrier, and between Mordin's Incinerate and my Incendiary Rounds, his Armor went down too. The "Protect the Transmitter" segment was fun, and boy do I love Shockwave. I tossed so many around I might as well blown the place up. It was very useful against Husks though. When finally that stupid beetle thing, the Praetorian showed up, I was ready, though doubtful. I had plenty of trouble against this thing before, on Casual. I emptied my Avalanche on it, between rounds of Reave and Incinerate, plus Garrus shooting at it with the Incisor. Finished it off with a shotty blast, and with no deaths. Never even got near me, though it did ping my shields a couple of times. Talked with Kaiden a bit. I think he sounds a little different than he did in the first Mass Effect, but maybe that's just me.
Anyhoo, once off Horizon, I respecced myself. Originally, I was going to go for some good Cryo Ammo points, but through playing, I found out that going with Incendiary was far superior (at least, for me,) and keeping the Avalanche around for freezing when I need it was a better plan. Now time to start up some loyalty missions. I'll be infiltrating the Collector ship soon, and I'm thinking of grabbing Assault Rifle training rather than the Claymore. This'll give me a good, all-around weapon to use if I need to conserve shotgun ammo, or I'm having issues with an enemy's defenses.
End of Day Report
- Level - 14
- Incendiary Ammo - 2
- Cryo Ammo - 0
- Heavy Charge
- Shockwave - 2
- Pull - 0

Objective To optimize and verify the condition for determination of rabies virus titer by direct immunofluorescence assay (dFA). Methods The influences of inoculation method (stepwise and one-step inoculations) as well as temperature (34 and 37 °C) and time (6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h) on titer of rallies viius were evaluated bv direct immunofluorescence assay. The optimized method was verified for inter-precision and specificity, and the results were compared with those of intracerebral titration in mice. Results Hie cells were inoculated by one-step inoculation, while vims was cultured at 34 °C for 96 h and stained to evaluate the test result. Fluorescent foci were counted on dav 3 after virus culture to calculate the virus titer. The variation coefficient of 12 test results by two personnel was only 0. 05%. Specific fluorescence was observed onlv in rabies vims but not in canine distemper vims or canine parvovirus by the method. The determination results of virus titers by dFA showed no significant difference with that by intracerebral titration in mice (P> 0. 05 ). Conclusion The optimized dFA is precise, specific, easy to handle and time-saving, which may be used for the quantitative determination of rabies vims liter.

The minister made the comment on Thursday, February 25, 2016 while visiting the Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode.
Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said that the Federal Government is determined to reveal the cost of corruption to Nigerians.
The minister made the comment on Thursday, February 25, 2016 while visiting the Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode.
"The emphasis of our government is not just to talk about figure of how much has been embezzled. Even the figures are dizzying enough," Mohammed said.
"Only two days ago, ADC to former President Goodluck Jonathan said when they brought N10 billion for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, campaign, he did not open it. He said he only gave it to the Special Adviser on Domestic Affairs. This is quite troubling.
"But more importantly, our government wants Nigerians to know the cost of corruption. The government wants Nigerians to know what we are suffering. When we had a news conference in January and disclosed that 55 people stole, N1.343 trillion between 2006 and 2013, what we wanted to emphasize was that one-third of the money would have gone to Nigeria.
"Using the World Bank rate, we said the money would be able to redevelop Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. It will be able to give us one ultra-modern hospital in each state of the federation. In addition, that money would have given 20,000 units of two-bedroom flat. The remaining will still educate 3,954 students from primary schools to tertiary level. In addition, it will build 183 state-of-the-art schools.
"So, what we are trying to make Nigerians understand is that corruption is eating deep, not just into the fabrics of our morals, but it is preventing development," he added.
The minister had earlier said that some of the persons who looted Nigeria's treasury are richer than the country itself.
