Please join us in our wider effort to engage the strengths of modern computational statistics methods in solving challenging stellar and solar data analysis problems. As just one example (of a great breadth of possibilities) consider analyzing a spectrum with a very large number of lines. Some of these may be faint, merged, indistinguishable from each other and the underlying smooth continuum. The ensemble of line intensities follows a predictable distribution. The shape of this distribution depends on the properties of the source, e.g., its temperature, abundances, and emission measure. Hence, a better understanding of the distribution of line fluxes in a particular source may tighten our inference for other model parameters such as temperature---even when very few lines are actually easy to distinguish. To take advantage of this structure, we directly model the distribution of the line fluxes rather than fitting each line flux directly or ``investing'' the emissivities to get a DEM. Statistically, this strategy reduces the number of free parameters, which we expect will lead to improved statistical properties. We believe this method holds much promise for improved analysis, especially for low count sources. For example, we expect this method to correctly account for the ``pseudo-continuum'' that results from the large number of faint, unresolvable lines in X-ray grating spectra. Moreover, our statistical methods should apply directly to other settings involving a multitude of lines such as timing data. We hope that these methods will increase our statistical power to set the continuum level in the presence of a multitude of lines and to distinguish weak lines from fluctuations in the continuum.

ALTO - Roy Junior Thomas, 75, passed away on Thursday, September 27, 2018, following a brief battle with lung cancer.
Mr. Thomas was born on June 23, 1943, the son of the late Charlie Grayson and Mellie Ward Thomas. He was preceded in death by his brother, Charles Edward Thomas; grandparents, Fred and Winnie Ward; and James and Gertrude Thomas. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather.
Mr. Thomas was a long-time employee of Mount Vernon Mills (formerly Reigel) in Alto until he began his own businesses, Thomas Grading & Hauling and Chattahoochee Contracting, which focused on cell phone tower construction in the Southeast. In addition to his strong work ethic, Mr. Thomas enjoyed listening to bluegrass music, restoring old tractors, woodworking, and watching NASCAR. He recently celebrated his 75th birthday with a bluegrass band and shindig at his home with many family and friends in attendance.
Known by many as Roy, Pops, or Poppy, Mr. Thomas was dedicated to his family. He coached ball, attended school events, and even drove his oldest two grandchildren to Dairy Queen every morning for a biscuit before school from kindergarten to ninth grade. He was the cornerstone of the family and he'll truly be missed.
Survivors include his loving wife of 57 years, Brenda Standridge Thomas, Alto; daughter and son-in-law, Susan and Donald Wade, Alto; sons and daughters-in-law, Danny and Elia Leticia Thomas, Alto; Scott and Amy Thomas; Brian and Tawana Thomas, Cornelia; sisters and brothers-in-law, Pat and Charles Turpin, Lula; Linda and Garnett Smith, Lula; sister-in-law, Carolyn Thomas, Alto; grandchildren, Brandi Worsham and Michael; Brent Wade and Noel; Autumn Rogers; Nicolas Thomas, Danae' Smith; great-grandchildren, Serenity Wade, Gage Wade, Abigail Wade, Jordon Herron, Alivia Worsham and Brinley Worsham;
Funeral Services were held Sunday, September 30, at Alto Congregational Holiness Church with the Revs. Scott Ledbetter and Tim Beasley officiating. Interment was in the Westview Cemetery in Lula.
Memorial donations may be made to the American Lung Association, P.O. Box 7000, Albert Lea, MN 56007-8001

Blog // Connect South Carolina
Broadband Internet Access Basics - Data Validation
Contributor: Daryl Coffey
I spend countless hours determining how accurately each platform is represented on South Carolina's state maps. In South Carolina, I verify each of these platforms by going out into the field with tools, test equipment and data. We refer to this process as "provider validation."
Provider validation involves driving hundreds of miles following telephone and cable lines, or testing wireless signals in neighborhoods as well as in remote areas. Naturally, when people see me holding up an antenna while typing on a computer in the back of an SUV, they're curious about my intent. When I inform them of what I am testing, folks are pleased that we are helping with broadband accessibility throughout the state.
South Carolinians can always come away from our conversations with a better understanding of the broadband platforms and provider validation process. Everyone I've talked to has been appreciative of the purpose of our work, and occasionally someone will say "well, thank you. We really need better Internet out here."
To see an example of a typical Connected Nation field validation performed by ETS member Dwayne Goodman in a community just south of Dallas, Texas, visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNMEQKHbDIs
Daryl Coffey uses test equipment tools to conduct field validation across South Carolina.
Daryl Coffey serves as an Engineering Consultant for Connected Nation's Engineering & Technical Services Division. He works with each of the state's broadband providers to gather the vital data needed to create detailed maps of broadband coverage. He also responds to broadband inquiries posted by residents of South Carolina at the Connect South Carolina website (http://www.connectsc.org/broadband-inquiry).
Connect South Carolina's mission is to change lives through technology. It is leading the effort to increase high-speed Internet access, adoption, and use to diversify the economy and ensure South Carolina's competitiveness in the connected global economy of the twenty-first century.

Last month, Andy Baio wrote a story for Wired detailing the world of selling access to Apple beta software to non-developers. Specifically, Baio's piece focused on sites that, for a price, allowed regular people to have their UDID (unique device identifier) activated for installation of iOS betas, which Apple makes available for developers only. To install an iOS beta, a developer has to register his/her account with Apple, which costs $99 per year and allows for the configuration of 100 devices in the so-called "Provisioning Portal" through the aforementioned UDID.
While becoming a registered developer costs $99, sites selling UDID activation did so for a low price, usually within the range of $10. Baio wrote:
For a small developer, unauthorized activations are a lucrative business that's likely worth the risks. UDID Activation publishes their order queue on their official site, which shows more than 2,300 devices activated in the last week alone. At $8.99 for each activation, that's more than $20,600 in revenue, with $2,277 paid to Apple for the 23 developer accounts. Their homepage claims that more than 19,000 devices were activated so far, and that's only one of several services. And since device activations only last for a year, each service can reuse their expired slots with no additional cost.
After noticing several of the sites mentioned in Baio's article had become unavailable in recent weeks (activatemyios.com, iosudidregistrations.com, activatemyudid.com, udidregistration.com, instantudidactivation.com), we reached out to some of them asking whether Apple was behind the takedown of their "services", which infringed on Apple's developer agreement. While most of our emails bounced, we heard back from one of the site owners (who asked to remain anonymous), who confirmed his hosting provider took down the site after a complaint for copyright infringement by Apple. Similarly, the CEO of Fused tweeted in a reply to Andy Baio that Apple had been "fairly heavy-handed" with DMCA requests to UDID-selling sites hosted on their network.
In the email, the site owner said that their website made $75,000 since last June, when Apple released the first beta of iOS 6 to developers. "We do not believe our service was infringing and our services did not violate their guidelines for iOS 6", the site owner commented, adding that they will soon launch another similar site, "with better and more secure data lines to handle Apple".
The owner of another site replied to our emails with a "no comment". According to him, "the Wired article has caused all these sites to go down".
Indeed, it appears Apple has started taking action against these sites recently, and more precisely after Wired ran the story on UDID activation. Last year, Apple reportedly closed developer accounts of people who sold their available UDID slots to other users; this year, it appears Apple has chosen the more direct path of shutting down websites and their services by filing DMCA requests to their hosting providers.
When Wired published its story, Apple added that "unauthorized distribution is prohibited, and may be subject to both civil and criminal liability". It is unclear whether Apple terminated memberships to the Developer Program this year as well.
Surprisingly, one of the most popular sites selling access to iOS betas, udidactivation.com, is still online. However, their "UDID order queue" -- a webpage displaying the amount of total sales -- fails to load, and the same page on their "backup site", udidactivation.us, displays the latest sales as being from June 28.
Apple seems to have taken action against sites selling access to OS X beta downloads, as well. A popular one, iMZDL.com, put a notice on their website saying "we will no longer be putting up downloads on iMZDL.com for Apple Betas". Their website is still up, and rather than hosting the download links themselves, they have now switched to torrents for sharing links to iOS and OS X betas.
As we previously wrote, access to Apple beta software should be restricted to developers, as they know how to provide meaningful feedback and report bugs to Apple.

Kaurvaki is unconscious! Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat 28th June 2016 Episode Written Updates :- In the last episode of Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat it has been shown that the king asked Purohit to asked to Kuravki to whom she wanted to do Pooja for whom, she said that I want to do this Pooja for Samrat Ashoka as I inspired from you. Rani Dharma said from me how. Kaurvaki now said to Rani Dharma that being the Maha Rani of Magadh I saw you do this Pooja ceremony from my childhood days.
Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat Episode Written Updates
Kaurvaki said that this is very impressive to watch from my childhood days that you did the Pooja ceremony for the Samrat Binusaar and Rani Dharma said that I did so as Samrat Bindusaar is my husband.
Now Rani Dharma feels that Kaurvaki is having some romantic feelings for Ashoka and she asked to her that is you love Ashoka and wish to marry him. Kaurvaki said yes, but still now before marriage, my heart already accepted him as my husband. Now Rani Dharma realised that the Kaurvaki is the person who used to feed Ashoka.
She now also asked to Kaurvaki that despite still you are not married to Ashoka but in one hand your heart already accept him as your husband, on the other hand, you used to feed Ashoka when he was hungry. So you have more and more rights to do Pooja ceremony for Ashoka.
Kaurvaki said that she did feeding to Ashoka as no noble work can be noble more rather than feeding a hungry person and I used to do so, even whether anybody can come to him instead of Ashoka, even I can feed him too.
And my childhood love for Ashoka is different and it now becomes passionate for me as for me Ashoka is everything to me and I can't live without him. Now Ashoka decided to fight with Bhubhal as he thinks his fighting with Bhubhal will be amazing and heroic as Bhubhal is the strong enough.

As I sit down to write this, it's 2:31 AM and I can't sleep. Just down the hall, I have a room full of middle school girls all catty, giggling and carrying on. Sleepovers are the worst, if you're a parent. I can almost hear Samuel L. Jackson's voice running in my head as he narrates the children's book Go the F*ck to Sleep. Why does losing sleep have to be a hallmark of parenthood? When they're babies, you learn to wade through the days as a functional zombie until they can sleep through the night. When they're sick, you're the on call nurse; up at all hours. And such is the same with sleepovers. It's funny that in every other area of life sleeplessness is classified as a disorder, but in this case, it's called being a parent.
Oddly enough, I've always found marriage easy – well maybe not easy, but much less challenging than being a Dad. I'm a father of four. These little babies of mine (that aren't so little anymore), are each a gift and yet a burden in their own respect. Maybe I shouldn't call it a burden and use a different word like privilege or responsibility. But at 2 AM, it's definitely a burden. I remember the first time I saw each of my children. When I held them, so small and new. It's an odd feeling to hold such a tiny package of life in your hands; each filled with such hope and promise. Those are the glory moments that keep you going; the tent poles that keep you moving past the dirty rooms, the endless whining and relentless carpooling to the next glorious picture worthy memory. In that sense, I guess parenthood is much like using heroin. There's always the ecstasy of the good hit… the high. But that's followed by letdown which leads you searching for it all over again. Heroin, like parenting, ages you, leaves you paranoid and consumes all of your money and time. But that's simply a sleep deprived analogy that only belongs in 2 AM moments of being a parent.
The longer I journey with them, I have come to realize that parenting is more about letting go than holding on. Much like teaching them to ride a bike for the first time, the ride doesn't really begin until I let go of them. Sometimes that's the hardest realization of all. At first, being a parent seems to be all about control. You feed them, dress them, make your house child-proof and try to teach them rules and the difference between right and wrong. You guide them, scold them and ground them all in the hopes of molding them into the person you want them to be. At some level, parenting is about making amends for the mistakes you made along the way, not wanting to repeat history. Or in it's simplest, you're trying not to be who your parents were to you. Teaching them to ride the bike soon becomes teaching them to drive a car. And before you know it, they're off on their own. That is the joy, the loss and the pain of parenthood.
Back to being awake at 2AM. I should end this piece by writing about how through all of the pain of sleepless nights and all the rest… that it's all well worth it. That would be a cop out and the middle of the night is no time for such sentiment or sappy closure… those are for bright mornings with croissant filled brunches. I know that's not what we want to hear, but these are those moments of raw honesty as I yawn and stretch here sitting in the dim glow of the computer screen wearing ugly plaid pajama pants. I'm tired and it's cold. I wish I was sleeping and know I must wake up early in a few hours to feed everyone and start the whole cycle again. Parenting is hard and in it's simplest form, is about loving well and letting go well in equal measure – all with no guarantee of the outcome. That's simply it and something I'll continue to wrestle through. No one ever mentioned that in those stupid books like What to Expect When You're Expecting. I'd rather hear the truth… from Samuel L. Jackson. Well, such is life and such is being a parent awake at 2 AM.

Workstation makes sure that multiple programs do not use the same /dev/sg entry at the same time, but it cannot always ensure that multiple programs do not use the /dev/sg entry and the traditional /dev entry at the same time.
The SCSI generic driver sets up a mapping in /dev for each SCSI device. Each entry starts with sg, for the SCSI generic driver, followed by a number. For example, /dev/sg0 is the first generic SCSI device. Each entry corresponds to a SCSI device in the order specified in /proc/scsi/scsi, from the lowest device ID on the lowest adapter to the highest device ID on the lowest adapter, and so on to the highest device ID on the highest adapter.
Some Linux devices, such as tape drives, disk drives, and CD-ROM drives, already have a designated /dev entry (st, sd, and sr, respectively). When the SCSI generic driver is installed, Linux identifies these devices with corresponding sg entries in /dev, in addition to their traditional entries.
To avoid concurrent access problems, do not specify /dev/st0 or /dev/sr0 when you specify which SCSI device to use in a virtual machine.

Three young men from Fort Osage High School will be playing their last high school football game at 7 tonight, when they line up for the Missouri All-Stars in the 27th annual BeYounion.com Kansas vs. Missouri All-Star Game.
The game, which is sponsored by the Greater Kansas City Football Coaches Association, will be played at Leavenworth High School.
Missouri has not lost a game since 2011 and owns a slim 13-11-1 advantage (with one year's game being washed out by bad weather).
Fort Osage will be represented by three Class 5 all-state players in linebacker Mason Middleton, center Jan Salmon and nose tackle Otto Ulberg.
They are not the only area players scheduled to play in the game. William Chrisman will send all-state and Examiner All-Area first-team outside linebacker Emori Thomas, while Truman will be represented by All-Area linebacker Caleb Loa.
Blue Springs South will be represented by all-state kicker Nathan Rockwell and All-Area defensive back Jordan Steele, while Lee's Summit North will have All-Area linebacker Myles Craddock and tight end Jordan Murray.
Ulberg, who will play collegiately at Iowa Western Community College, is the only one among the Fort Osage players who will take his game to the next level.
"In the playoffs, if you lose, you know that is going to be your last game," said Middleton, who will study engineering at Missouri S&T, "but Thursday's game is your last high school game, no matter what.
"And for me and Jan, it's the last time we will ever play football, so it's going to be very special and very bittersweet. I have played football the last five years with those two guys and I can't think of a better way to end my football career than by playing one last game with them while representing my state in an all-star game against Kansas."
Salmon, who will study photography and business at Southeast Missouri State, agrees with his teammate.
"Sadly, it will be my last game, but what a great way to end your high school career," Salmon said. "Mason and Otto mean so much to me, and so does playing for the Missouri team in this all-star game. We're all really coming together as a team, too. I noticed it the first practice.
"It didn't take long for all the all-star players to feel like they were part of an all-star team."
Ulberg felt the same way, adding, "We really have become a team. It took a couple of practices, but we're definitely a team now and we're all so excited about the game. And to share the game with Jan and Mason makes it even better for me. We're like brothers, and you want to play a big game like this with your brothers."
Staley coach Phil Lite, who led the Falcons to a 14-0 record and a Class 5 state title last fall, will lead the Missouri team, while Leavenworth coach Mark Littrell will lead the Kansas squad.
"Everyone at Leavenworth has been great to work with," said Tony Wrisinger, who along with Brian Johnston is the co-executive director of the Greater Kansas City Football Coaches Association. "The past four years we had the game at Blue Springs or Blue Springs South high schools and they bent over backwards to work with us, and we appreciate all they did to make the games so successful.
"Leavenworth has a new facility and really wanted this year's game and we're excited to be playing there."
The game will feature more than 80 of the top seniors from each side of the state line.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students with kids 5 and under free. Tickets will be available at the Leavenworth Stadium box office.

Gov. John Hickenlooper proposes shutting down the medium-security prison in Fort Lyon that treats aging and ill inmates as part of correctional budget-cutting plans that would save $10 million.
Closing the prison would save $3 million next year. Hickenlooper also proposes axing prison educational programs to save another $3 million.
Only two years after former Gov. Bill Ritter expanded a program for mentally ill parolees as part of his own cost-cutting plan, Hickenlooper proposes cutting it to save $2.6 million.
An additional $1.3 million will be cut in administrative costs.
"These are challenging times, and the DOC will continue to move forward, not only upholding public safety, but strengthening it," said Tom Clements, executive director of the Department of Corrections.
Katherine Sanguinetti, DOC spokeswoman, drove to the 485-bed Fort Lyon Correctional Facility in southeastern Colorado on Tuesday to tell its 204 employees that the prison would close by Aug. 31, she said.
Employees will be offered positions at other prisons across the state where there are vacancies, she said.
"For a small county like ours, it's pretty devastating," Bent County Commissioner Thomas Wallace said.
Republican critics of the governor jumped on the decision, claiming it showed Hickenlooper cared little for rural Colorado.
"The governor of Denver, John Hickenlooper, has revealed what he thinks of rural southeastern Colorado: absolutely nothing," said outgoing GOP state chairman Dick Wadhams.
Hickenlooper is forming a committee including economic-development experts to review options for using the facilities, Sanguinetti said. The closing of the prison, which is one of Bent County's biggest employers, will be a major economic jolt to the community.
Sanguinetti said the state will return ownership of the prison, which used to be a Veterans Affairs hospital, to the federal government.
Some of the elderly and mentally ill who receive care at the prison will move to the Denver Reception and Diagnostic Center or the Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility in Cañon City.
Among the educational programs that could be eliminated are about 50 vocational programs throughout the state's prison system, Sanguinetti said.
The DOC acknowledged that eliminating the programs could leave fewer employment options for departing inmates, perhaps increasing recidivism.
The parole re-entry program tries to help inmates move smoothly back into society but failed to yield projected cost savings.

Costochondritis is a general type of inflammation of the gristle ribs connected to the breastbone. The inflammation may cover many cartilage locations on both sides of the breastbone but generally is on one side only.
Costochondritis can be a general reason of chest pain in adolescents and children. The condition is referred to as an inflammation in one or more of the costochondral cartilages that generates localized tenderness and pain of the interior chest wall.
Typically most of the costochondritis cases are ideally idiopathic. A few cases may be the outcome of costochondral irritation which can be developed because of the following reasons:
Costochondritis can deteriorate by any activity involving stress. It is usually best to cut down these activities till the inflammation of the rib and cartilage location has subsided.

Obama Orders Health Plans to Cover Birth Control Without Co-Pays
Under orders from the Obama administration, most health insurers will be required to cover birth control without charging co-pays or deductibles starting August 1.
Churches, synagogues and other houses of worship are exempt from the requirement, but religious-affiliated hospitals and universities only get a one-year delay and must comply by Aug. 1, 2013.
Congressional Republicans slammed the decision as an assault on religious freedom, but, in a prepared statement, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said she believes "this proposal strikes the appropriate balance between respecting religious freedom and increasing access to important preventive services."
Abortion rights groups immediately applauded the decision.
Some religious institutions, however, have said they would sooner close their hospital doors than cover or provide birth control, which they liken to abortion in some cases.
"What war and disease could not do to the Congregation, the government of the United States will do," Nashville's Dominican congregation testified. "It will shut them down."
via Health plans ordered to cover birth control without co-pays - The Hill's Healthwatch.
Access to birth control is the most controversial aspect of the healthcare reform law's preventive care provisions, which require plans to cover such care without co-pays and deductibles. The assumption is that such coverage will prevent people from getting sick and keep healthcare costs down.

There is no escape from work or accountability. If you skip work, your profits dip. Natural. Never confuse the luxury of work from home as one phrase. The sentence has two phrases in who's. `Luxury' and `working from home'. So don't fool yourself.

Finding Answers For Elementary Strategies For Insurance License Exam
According to the Motor Insurer's Bureau MIB, an estimated 1.7m UK drivers dodged car insurance last year. If everyone in the group contributes a payment called a premium into the fund, then enough money is available for the fund to pay the expenses of the poor souls who get ill. If you have a breed that is prone to a particular illness and pet insurance won't cover the treatments it may not be worth the premium. At this stage there will also be a discussion regarding which brokers are most likely to meet these outcomes and a shortlist of the most relevant brokers compiled. The first category sees firms providing financing to fix damage to other drivers' cars that you have caused, but not your own. Section I provides property coverage for the dwelling, other structures, personal property and additional living expense.
Trying to buy a policy when you are middle-aged and faced with a serious ailment is difficult. 3 Do you go to the doctor frequently? The federal health law requires most health insurance plans, including all new plans in the individual and small group markets, to provide contraceptive coverage at no out-of-pocket cost to women.
One of the worst things it can happen is to lose your pet. When going through a pet insurance review make sure you get the level of coverage that is most accomodating to your needs as well. Should you locate a lower rate than what you are paying, inform your insurance professional of the quote prior to change companies. If you own a car, you must be having a third party insurance cover. There are cases where the so-called policyholder died before the cover was purchased. For you, either a less expensive HMO insurance or a PPO plan will cover everything you need.
There are things you can do to ensure you're getting the best premium offers possible for your situation. They are in the business of making money, that's why you pay monthly premiums. That doesn't imply that if the risk factor reaches its least, you no longer require insurance because your pet can still get ill on its own with no influence from an outside origin. Additionally, you can also enlist the help of a commercial service such as the Unclaimed Assets Register uar.co.uk. Incredibly, in an accident involving 130 vehicles, nobody died in the pile-up on the A249 Sheppey crossing, although 35 people were injured – eight seriously. She suffered from congestive heart failure, and I'd spent a small fortune on her medications and cardiology visits during the last 18 months of her life.
We're still waiting for quality health care that we can actually use, afford and understand the kind of care that Nelson gets. First, collecting information: Since the adjuster has to collect information in order to understand your claim, we provide all the required information to establish that it's a valid claim. The stipulations on your policy contract vary according to the insurance companies. The most effective and time saving way is to get rate quotes form online insurance companies.

The Role Of A Title Insurance AgencyThe title agent will facilitate the real estate closing and make sure all paperwork is in order for the closing to happen on time.
This level of insurance is particularly useful for lorries which drive and stay in high risk areas. For several months now this column has argued that the UK car insurance market is dysfunctional. There are a few time-tested ways to cut down on costs and make the most of coverage you can comfortably afford. Also recommended is a rollback to the July 2002 tax structure. Though it's led by California, the "Tell A Friend, Get Covered" campaign is nationwide. You mayperhaps have come up with delicious flavours your friends would literally diefor, using readily available ingredients and thought they would be verysalable. But those inefficiencies are hard to measure.
As per by the state law, it is essential to have proper coverage in place if you wish to drive around the state without any hassle or concern. So I realized that me, being present was a requirement in order for that business to be successful and it was my fault that it wasnít messed up in that way. With the move to a market economy, people paid much more for healthcare, one of the reasons why China became a great nation of savers. Most important is to make sure to review your policy each year and increase your coverage to an appropriate amount if local building costs increase.
Chances are I have a policy that will work for you. By law, if you leave your job, you are entitled to continuing health coverage provided by your employer for a certain amount of time.

- A poster showing a famous or attractive person.
- A person featured in a pin-up.
The image of the pin-up has tended to be a rather youthful one, either a teenage 'pin-up girl', or more often young women in their early to late twenties. While pin-ups can take many forms, of any gender, the most recognised pin-up style remains the popular mid-century form focussing on young women in figure-revealing clothes (often dresses, swimwear or lingerie, some of which by today's standards are hardly considered revealing at all). The popular pin-up image of Rita Hayworth in her pink satin and black lace negligee was taken by Bob Landry in 1941 when she was 23, and during WWII this image was second in popularity only to the image of Betty Grable in swimsuit and heels. This picture, taken in early 1943 by Frank Powolny when Grable was 26, was reportedly owned by one in every five American servicemen during the war. With this in mind, it comes as a surprise to some that the iconic Bettie Page, arguably the most famous pin-up of the twentieth century, did most of her work in her thirties. Born in 1923, she was 32 in her famous Playboy "Miss January 1955" pin-up shoot, though readers didn't know it. According to Page, photographer Bunny Yeager suggested she lie about her age to the magazine to assure her submission would be accepted.
In recent years classic pin-up photography has seen a resurgence, particularly among the vintage and rockabilly communities and the new body positive movement, and 'pin-up style' has developed its own recognised look within the scene – separate from but related to the looks popularised by the mid-century photographic form. But while WWII pin-ups were painted or photographed primarily for servicemen, usually by men (with the exceptions of photographer Bunny Yeager and artist Zoe Mozert, among others) the new pin-up photographers are more often women photographing women for women. Now it is personal, and sometimes political. Pin-ups are older, or tattooed, or differently bodied than the mainstream models of today, and they don't always smile sweetly for the viewer, either. Women of all ages and body types are embracing pin-up style for their own reasons, as we will read below in their own words, and increasingly, there is no longer a need to lie about one's age, nor a desire to, with many women wearing their age as a brand of honour. Put simply, the '20-something' age cut off of the past no longer applies, with even the most trailblazing pin-up of today, Dita Von Teese, (pictured above) herself over age forty and at the height of her career.
Here are just 13 women pin-ups over forty, from international vintage sensations and trail-blazing cult heroines to regular gals and rockin' home makers, to remind us that not all pin-ups are 'girls':
Emma Lindsay, 40, Australia. 'I wanted these pictures done as a present to myself at the age of 40, so I can leave them to my son and any children he may have to show them what 'Nana used to look like'! The images aren't photo-shopped at all, Helen just uses good cameral work and stylists to get the effect.'

Alexandria Mees, 40, of Martinis and Slippers, Australia. 'I have been dressing this way for the past 5 years. I love it so much. I have 2 children and I am a work at home mum with my own business (Martinis and Slippers). I make handmade vintage inspired bamboo and acrylic brooches. Initially, I thought about sewing vintage inspired clothes but my path led me to brooches and because I couldn't find a martini glass cocktail brooch.'
Janey Paul, 41, Canada. 'I got into pin-up just over 2 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did. I find it so empowering. Vintage has always been my passion so it seemed an easy authentic fit. I turned 41 in Sept and have no plans to slow down as this is way too much fun.'

Victory Lamour/Tara Moss, 42, Canada, Australia. Your author had her first vintage-style pin-up shoot at 40, and has no intention of slowing down. I love the scene, enjoy celebrating the women in it, and take it as a personal mission to shine a light on the less often celebrated members of the scene, including older, differently bodied and racially diverse women. (PS If this is you, please contact me on email@example.com).

Dita Von Teese, 43, USA. The iconic Von Teese, who almost single-handedly brought vintage pin-up style to a new generation, has just released her latest stunning book, Your Beauty Mark, which I plan to review in a future blog. Here she wears the 'VIP Coat/Dress', styled as an original design on the basis of wearing only your lingerie underneath for your lover as a 'surprise'. Taking her cues from midcentury beauty, fashion and fetishism, everything about Dita screams cool elegance and erotic, old world glamour. 'Beauty is my art,' she says. 'It's my nourishment, my salvation. It's what brings me joy.'

Honey Fatale, 44, Australia. 'I re-discovered my love of pin-up in 2002 when a friend's grandmother was kind enough to loan me her floor length black hooded opera cape with royal purple lining for a winter movie premiere in Melbourne. My hairdresser at the time had given me big bouncy Marilyn hair and with my wiggle dress – I felt like an absolute star. Moving to Sydney and dipping my toe in the pin-up pond has been wonderful. I am even signed with a modelling agency as a plus size pinup. For me, the most satisfying thing about the pin-up community is it the level of acceptance. I'm a short, curvy woman and I look and feel fabulous in my pin-up wardrobe. Other members of the community encourage you – its all about the proliferation of positive vibes.'

Suzie Ephedrine, 47, Australia, of Sydney Derby Skates. 'I have been into the rockabilly scene for about 15 years or so now and I love everything about it; the clothes and hairstyles and makeup, the tattoos, the music and dancing, the cars, the people…I love everything 50s. Whilst I have only done a couple of pin-up shoots, they made me feel beautiful and sexy, and that my life is not over at 47!' *laughs* 'I would absolutely love to do more in the future.'

Simone Homewood, 48, Australia. 'I just love the romance of 50's vintage glamour. We tried to capture a little more demure scenario of the true 50's.'
Photograph by Helen McClean. Styling, hair and makeup by Candice deVille.
Chrissy Keepence, 50, Australia, Headmistress and Owner of The Lindy Charm School For Girls.
'I have deliberately, in the past, omitted my age due to The Lindy Charm School For Girls ethos that 'there are No Age or Beauty Barriers when it comes to the Lindy Charm School For Girls'. I actually don't mind anyone knowing my age but I do have an issue with so much emphasis in these times being placed on a number, particularly with regards to women.' For Chrissy, and many other women, age can be a frightening thing for health reasons. 'Every woman in my family for many generations back were diagnosed with cancer at 49 and died at 50. My own mother got cancer at 49 and thankfully, due to advances in treatment, lived with her cancer for 20 years only passing away in April. I too was diagnosed with cancer at 49 (1 year ago this month) and again with the benefit of today's treatments I am still here. I am so happy to be involved in your blog that is celebrating women over 40 in all their diversity.'
Photograph by Brooke Orchard Photography. Land Girl Overalls by Jack's Daughter. Hair, makeup and styling by Chrissy Keepence.
Victoria Edwards, 53, of Moving Makeup, UK, Australia. 'I have been interested in the pin-up and Rockabilly scene for a number of years now. I am originally from London but have lived in Perth for 10 years. I love the vintage scene, from the music to the fashion. I am a makeup artist so I get to meet a lot of girls who are having pin-up shoots.'
Photograph by Cyrus at Lighthouse Photography.
Helen McKee and Gail Squires, both 58, Australia. ' We have been friends since primary school. We both seem to agree that our interest in the retro/pin up look is the air of confidence, sexy glamour and femininity that seems to go with it. Last year Helen McLean convinced us that we would be great together in a photo shoot. We both have quite quirky senses of humour. And the rest is history as they say.'
Photograph by Helen McLean. Styling, hair and makeup by Candice deVille.
Tura Satana, 67, Japan, USA. The late Japanese-born Satana, star of cult classics including Astro Zombies and Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (in which she was the first woman shown to kill a man with her bare hands on screen) was glamorous and butt-kicking right up until untimely her death at 72 in 2011. 'A few years ago, I received a lifetime achievement award as the Femme Fatale of the 20th Century. I thank you all for that… I love you all, keep kickin' butt. Remember that life is not like movies. There is good and bad all around. Make sure you are never a victim but always a survivor,' she told Zuri Zone. I was proud to call this woman a friend. Her strong image still has a huge influence on pin-up and retro style today.

A man has been convicted of killing his elderly father and a 29-year-old man in an arson attack on a maisonette in Tower Hamlets.
Aaron Bhasin, 53, of Chapman Street, E1 pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey yesterday, to two counts of manslaughter.
The Police, London Fire Brigade and London Ambulance Service were called to the maisonette in Chapman Street E1 on March 7, following reports of a fire. The 82-year-old Ram Bhasin and 29-year-old Sunil Koosuru, an Indian national believed to have been a lodger at the address, were both pronounced dead at the scene.
Post-mortem examinations at Poplar Mortuary gave the cause of death for both men as smoke inhalation.
Officers from the MPS Homicide and Serious Crime Command investigated the deaths.
Aaron Bhasin was arrested on the day of the fire and was subsequently charged with two counts of murder prior to pleading guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

Frequent readers (if I have any?) will have noticed that things have been a little quiet on the dressmaking front here lately. Sorry. It's been a kinda crazy couple of weeks, but I promise to get back on it soon.
But while I haven't had a lot of time to sew, I've been playing along with #sewphotohop. It's a sewing challenge (organised by the lovely Rachel at House of Pinheiro) that runs throughout September, asking you to post a sewing-related photo every day inspired by a particular theme. There's a chance to win prizes from the sponsors, so of course, I wanted in!
Here are the themes and sponsors:
It was all quite easy until the 11th, when the theme was Why I Sew. And suddenly I thought "Oh my god, why do I sew?" and for at least 10 minutes couldn't think of a single reason at all. Then suddenly I thought of all the reasons at once and they were competing for space in my brain, and I felt the need to write them down before I lost them all again. Maybe it'll be useful one day.
So, in no particular order, I sew because…
- I got it from my Mama, and she got it from hers! This is the reason I gave on Insta, along with the image below. The lady in the photo is my maternal grandmother Elsie (known to me as Nanny Vogel) circa 1960, and the little girl is my mum. Nanny Vogel was a prolific seamstress – she made basically all the clothes she owned, and sold handmade leather gloves to order. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's when I was six so never taught me directly, but she did teach my mum who is herself a very accomplished maker of small items and has a shop on Folksy. They probably aren't the reason I sew now, but it was definitely their influence that started me off. I get the sewing gene from them.
- Most RTW clothes don't fit me. I'm tall, with broad shoulders, big boobs, small waist, wide hips, short legs. I mean, we all know that clothes now are generally designed to fit and flatter a slimmer, more boyish figure. Nothing new there. In fact, I read somewhere that 75% of the clothes sold in the UK are Size 12 and under, so the fashion industry is undoubtedly biased. But to think that a clothing retailer might mass produce something that comes even close to fitting my unusual shape is kinda mad. Of course they wouldn't, because I'm the only person they could sell it to. And I've no doubt there are thousands of people out there who feel exactly the same.
- Because it helps me break the cycle of fast fashion, whilst still indulging my love of clothes. This is a big one. Because fast fashion is rapidly eating up our planet, and destroying lives. I won't write too much about it here, but I will recommend watching The True Cost if you haven't seen it already. It's a feature-length documentary by Andrew Morgan which looks at the problems created by throw-away culture. I know it sounds really depressing but it's actually quite optimistic as it shows how we can all make a difference. Please watch it. It's on Netflix now.
- Sewing gives me complete autonomy over my own image, which is the coolest thing ever. So if I ever think "Man, I really want a black sleeveless culotte jumpsuit", I can design and make the perfect one. My choices aren't dictated by trends, or sizing, or budget – only my imagination, and the time I'm willing to commit. It's liberating.
- Sitting at a sewing machine is much more enjoyable than traipsing endlessly around Topshop, getting angry at the loud music, then crying in the fitting rooms. I'm sorry, but it just is.
- Sewing is cheaper than therapy. Sewists say this a lot and the phrase has become a bit worn, but there's definitely truth in it. There's something very meditative about making – there are elements of creativity, precision and process, which exercise parts of the brain that most of us just don't use in our day-to-day lives. Sewing provides opportunities for quiet solitude when it's needed, and lively interaction when you're ready. And when you've made something, the sense of achievement and the thrill of having something new give you a welcome rush of endorphins. I've sewed my way through some of my most difficult experiences. It doesn't solve problems, but it helps.
- Sewing means I'll always be able to give a gift, offer a service and have something to wear. It's an infinitely practical life skill which ultimately saves me some money and means I'll never be broke. As Nanny Vogel would have said: it's making something from nothing.
- It's provided me with opportunities. Because of sewing I was able to quit my job and retrain as a Design and Technology teacher. It's still very early days, but right now I really love it and can't believe I never did it before. The more I study education the more certain I feel that I'll be good at it, and the happier I am about dedicating all my working hours to something really worthwhile. And, of course, I'm writing a blog. A couple of years ago I would have been too embarrassed to publish anything, but sewing has compelled me to start writing, and find my own voice.
- Instead of impulse buys, my wardrobe is now made up of high-quality, enduring items that I love to wear again and again. Because there's just no point putting so much time and effort into something I'll never wear.
- Because it's so great when somebody compliments your outfit, and you can reply "Thanks, I made it". Seriously, it never gets old. Most people just look at you in amazement, like you're some sort of wizard.
There are probably more, but I haven't thought of them yet. I'd love to hear your reasons – lets keep adding to the list, yeah, and keep championing craft? And if you're reading this and you don't sew already, but are considering it, then try it. I promise you it's great.

Q I understand a lot of HR vacancies at present are contract-based – what advice do you have for people before embarking on a career as a contractor?
Q I understand a lot of HR vacancies at present are contract-based – what advice do you have for people before embarking on a career as a contractor?
A. A career as a contractor can be exciting. But, more than this, the variety of assignments and organisations also adds skills and experience to your CV. Employers are now confident in the skills available to them at short notice. So if you are considering contract work, we suggest you consider the following:
Representation: Contact a recruiting expert who understands the intricacies of your industry and who can represent you to potential employers so you access the best of the temporary assignments available.
Communicate availability: Keep your recruitment consultant informed about your availability – we assume you are available for assignments until you tell us otherwise! It does not look professional for you or us if we endorse you for an employer's temporary assignment only to discover you cannot complete it.
Update your skills: Your best selling point as a temp is your skills base, so make sure your skills continue to develop. Remember to tell your consultant when they do, so you are considered for a wider range of assignments and represented to your true potential!
First impressions: As with a job interview, arrive at least ten minutes early on the first day of your assignment. Walk tall and offer a smile and a firm handshake when being introduced. Look professional, act professionally and dress professionally.
Preparation: Before an assignment commences, find out who you are to report to, the tasks you're likely to undertake and research the organisation concerned by visiting their website.
Professionalism: When on assignment, a high degree of professionalism is expected. You need to respect the policies, procedures and culture of the company at which you are working. The expectations of temporaries and contractors are often higher than those of your full- time colleagues.
Ask questions if necessary: Temporary workers are hired for their experience and skills, but you are allowed to ask questions if you are not certain about a particular task.
Etiquette: Unlike some permanent roles, it's not acceptable to leave your mobile phone on or use the work telephone for any personal communications. Similarly, do not use your work time to get to know your new work colleagues.
Market yourself: Once you are in an assignment, you are in the best position to market yourself within that company. Don't be afraid to look for further opportunities – ask if there are any other areas or departments in which your skills might be needed. Let your face be seen.
Assignment extension: Most temporary assignments have a finish date, but these can often be extended. Keep your consultant posted of these changes so they can make sure everyone is happy. Sometimes plans change, on both sides, and if a consultant knows in advance they can help to minimise any inconvenience.

We fell in line before 8 a.m. with hopes to meet the tan man with the tall white hair. Years of watching television told us to go in bold colors for this taping of The Price Is Right and a hokey but genuine saying for Bob Barker. "Childhood Dreams Do Come True" read our neon green T-shirts with iron-on, velvet pink letters.
Barker had recently announced his impending retirement, and the five-hour-long row of folks that swooped around the show's southern California locale, The Grove, teemed with talk about what people would say to Barker if given the chance. There were thank yous and I love yous and proclamations about pets. I felt confident I could wing it; after all, earlier in the week, I'd introduced myself to Delbert, my estranged grandfather.

|The perk of nursing with your iPhone handy? Capturing grins like this one.
Shira is turning two in a few weeks and I'm starting to get a lot of questions about breastfeeding. How long will you continue to breastfeed? Don't I want to stop? Is she going to permanently fuse to your breast? Fair enough. I don't think these questions are unusual by any means. Women just don't breastfeed toddlers very much in our culture, though that is starting to change. My friends and family have always been very supportive about my breastfeeding Alyce and Shira, but since for most of them it isn't the norm, I naturally receive a lot of questions.
A lot of people expect that I will stop nursing Shira once she turns two. Again, I understand why they expect it will come to an end. She's growing up and standing so much on her own in the world. It makes sense that she will no longer want to breastfeed one day, busy as she is. But right now she isn't ready and I have no need to enforce an arbitrary deadline on her. There are many reasons women need or choose to wean, but I don't have any of these reasons at the moment. I'm home with them full-time, so I'm always available. With the exception of that crazy week in Vancouver, it doesn't cause me any pain. She clearly still wants to breastfeed because she asks for it throughout the day and enjoys it when I am able to. (Also, in case you were wondering, you can't make a baby breastfeed unless they want it. They will absolutely not latch on if they don't want to.) There is no question in my mind that she still needs to nurse. This doesn't mean that I think harm would come to her if I decided to wean today. She would adjust and adapt just fine. But with no reason to stop, we'll continue on, my little nursling and me.
And of course, she's not the only who gets something out of breastfeeding. I love nursing her. It's my time with just Shira and no matter how much she will always love me, she will never snuggle with me again like this on a regular basis. I came to terms with that when I weaned Alyce at twenty-two months, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. In fact, it makes me quite sad to think about ending our breastfeeding relationship. It would mark an end to so many things and I would grieve this transition. (Many women suffer depression when they wean. You can find one women's story here). In a month from now I might feel very ready to stop, and I'm happy that I have the freedom to wait for that time to come. Who knows, I could feel that way tomorrow. Or, Shira could decide for the both of us. Either way, as sad as I will be when this is over, it will be ok. I find transitions of this sort so difficult, but I always get through them.
If you've read any of my blog before you're probably wondering if I will ever stop talking about breastfeeding. It's not looking good for you, I'm afraid. Breastfeeding your baby, or any kind of close relationship you share with your child, is transformative. It's going to change you, and if you're like me, you want to share that with the entire internet. You're welcome.
What about parenting has transformed you?
P.S. Here is an article by Dr. Jack Newman, a breastfeeding expert with some wonderful advice on nursing a toddler.
