Return to Ships of John Gregory
Mary A. Gregory US No. 90776
Built At
Chicago, IL
The schooner Mary A. Gregory (US No. 90776) was built by John Gregory at Edgar M. Doolittle & Orville Olcott's yard (located at 54 Charles St in 1874), Chicago, and was launched at 4:00 pm on 18 May 1875. She was a two masted schooner of 87 tons, 84.6 feet in length, 23.8 foot beam and drew only 6.6 feet of water with centerboard up, without cargo. The boat cost $7,000 to build. Despite the common superstition among sailors that ships named after a living person would not outlive their namesake, the ship was probably named after a niece of the builder, Mary A. Gregory of Amboy, IL. She relocated to Chicago after her marriage in 1870.
The vessel was built for Chicagoan Nathan Sanders, who was so proud at the launching he passed out ten cent cigars while dreaming of the profits he will be soon making. Mr. Sanders kept ownership for fifteen years and always took good care as it was reflected in the insurance ratings which never received a lower rating of A-2.
She was known for her hauling of lumber cargo from Michigan ports such as Cross Village, North Manitou Island, Hamlin Lake, Beaver Island among many others. She was usually manned by only two crewman plus the captain. Her record on the lake was good, having only capsized once in 1903.
At the turn of the century her ownership shifted to Michigan ports, usually owned by her master, and was well known from the Straits of Mackinac to St. Joseph.

Chicago Tribune, April 30, 1875
John Gregory is building a schooner at the shipyard of Doolittle & Olcott (once the Dry Dock Company's yards) which he hopes to have ready for launching within a few weeks. She is all planked, and some painting have been done. The dimensions are about as follows: Length of keel, 115 feet; breadth of beam, 24 feet; depth of hold, 8 feet. Her cost when completed will have been about $10,000. She is intended to be used as a fishing schooner.
The Inter Ocean, May 3, 1875
Our New Vessel!
John Gregory, builder of the vessel now on the stocks at Doolittle & Alcott's yard, takes no little pride in the craft, and claims that when complete she will be acknowledged to be a perfect beauty. And she probably will. The exact dimensions are: keel, 83 feet; length on deck, 90 feet; beam, 23 feet; hold, 7½ feet. She is planked with 3-inch plank outside, her clamps are 4 inches, and her bilge stretches 4 inches. She is to be fore and aft rigged. The foremast will be 60 feet, and the mainmast 68 feet, the topmasts 41 feet each. When completed the cost will have been a $8,000. It is hoped to have her ready for launching by May 10. Captain Nathan Saunders is the owner, who will put the new craft into the fishing business in Green Bay.
Chicago Tribune, May 18, 1875
The new schooner which has been in course of construction for some time past at John Gregory's shipyard on the South Branch, near the Alton depot, will be launched this afternoon at 4 o'clock. Her dimensions are as follows: Keel, 12 feet 6 inches; Beam, 23 feet 4½ inches; Hold, 7 feet 4 inches.
She is intended for the fish trade in Green Bay, and is owned by Capt. Nathan Sanders, of nowhere in particular. Capt. Gregory refuses to disclose her name until the time of her launching. But this much may be revealed, that she will have the name of a lady. Can it be possible that her bachelor owner has a sweetheart after all?
Chicago Tribune, May 19, 1875
The new schooner which has been in course of construction at Gregory's shipyard for some time past, and a description of which was given in yesterday's Tribune, was successfully launched yesterday afternoon, in the presence of some 300 or 400 people. She was christened the Mary A. Gregory, after a niece of the builder.
Chicago Tribune, May 29, 1875
The new schr, Mary A. Gregory, lately finished at Gregory's shipyard, came down the creek yesterday to ship her anchors. She will leave for Mackinaw to-day to engage in the fishing business.
Chicago was hit with a major cold spell on the night of Friday, 8 December 1876 and the Mary A. Gregory was forced to make an unscheduled port in Chicago. Finding it impossible to make harbor, she came to an anchor outside, and weathered the night. Temperatures hit as low as 15 degrees below zero. The crew kept as warm as they could around the stove in the cabin, but they did not dare to go to sleep for fear of the vessel, capsizing, as it was nearly iced up, and was getting worst every hour. The noses and cheeks of the crew were frost-bitten, but otherwise showed no traces of the terrible experience they went through. Saturday morning she was sighted by the tug O. B. Green, which brought her to the dock near Rush street bridge, not being able to get further up the river, as the ice was too thick to break through. The Captain of the Gregory stated that he passed, Thursday evening, out on the lake, three schooners – one three-and-after, and two, fore-and-afters. He could not make out their names, but supposed them to be the schooners North Cape, Metropolitan, and Reindeer. It was reported at a late hour that one or two schooners had come into sight and the tug O. B. Green was sent out to get them, if possible. The tug McClellan was busy all day breaking up the ice in the main branch of the river, but made slow progress.

The large steam propeller Messenger US No. 16654) was damaged by fouling the Mary A. Gregory.
From Jacksonport, 14 Sept 1877
Captain Nate Sanders of the schooner Mary A. Gregory was buying fresh fish along this shore and shipping them packed in ice to Chicago. He was in port Monday and took 1800 pounds the days' catch of P.G. Hibbard.
November 23, 1878
Mary A. Gregory lost her jib-boon by a gale in Lake Michigan.
October 2, 1880
The Mary A. Gregory was reported to be in the Chicago Company's South Side dock for caulking.
Buffalo Evening News, December 2, 1890
The schooner Mary A. Gregory, ashore at Whitefish Bay, will not be released this fall.
June 1, 1896
The Mary A. Gregory collided with the all-steel passenger steamer Virginia (US No. 161654). A hole was punched in her, but was in no danger.
The Mary A. Gregory has the distinct honor to be the last commercial sailing vessel to arrive in Chicago. The Chicago History Museum (formerly the Chicago Historical Society) has the following artifacts from her in their collection:
1) Bow Sprit and Prow Ornament, carved with eagle head, secured from the Mary A. Gregory built on Goose Island in 1875 – the last of the Great Lakes Schooners. This object is currently on display in the museum's "Crossroads" exhibition.
2) Stentorn Megaphone from the Mary A. Gregory, c. 1900. This object is currently on display in the museum's "Crossroads" exhibition.
3) Set of Seven Caulking Chisels (used to drive caulking between planks) on the Mary A. Gregory. Traditional caulking (also spelled calking) on wooden vessels uses fibers of cotton, and oakum (hemp fiber soaked in pine tar). These fibers are driven into the wedge shaped seam between planks with a caulking mallet and a broad chisel-like tool called a caulking iron. The caulking is then covered over with a putty in the case of hull seams, or in deck seams with melted pine pitch in a process referred to as paying. These objects are currently on display in the museum's "Crossroads" exhibition. The plaque reads:
"Set of seven steel caulking chisels used on the Great Lakes schooner Mary A. Gregory, c. 1900. Captain John Harry Woltman used these chisels on the schooner to drive caulk between the wooden planks of the ship. Some of the chisels have his initials 'J.H.W' inscribed on them."
4) Lantern with Blue Glass from the Mary A. Gregory. This object is currently in museum storage.
5) Ship's Lantern from the Mary A. Gregory. This object is currently in museum storage.
6) Starboard Marine Lantern from the Mary A. Gregory. This object is currently in museum storage.
C. H. Hackley and Mary A. Gregory (right)
It was 1924 when the Mary A. Gregory completed her last voyage. Starting from the foot of Union Street in Douglas, Michigan and having a small cargo of potatoes and fruit, with Captain John Woltman at the wheel along with two seamen, she headed for Chicago. This trip was the last cargo to enter Chicago under sail. After she discharged her cargo at the South Water Street Market, she was towed up the north branch of the Chicago River and moored in the mud alongside of Abe Burell's Yacht Yard and quickly became a home for homeless sailors.
It was on a spring day in 1926 that she was given a Viking-type funeral where she was towed out to the sea and burned behind the Marine Hospital. The only remaining schooners sailing on Lake Michigan left at the time was the Milwaukee bound Lucia A. Simpson (US No. 140097), The City of Grand Haven (US No. 33869) and Our Son (US No. 19437), both carrying lumber to Muskegon, were gone by 30 September 1930.
The Owners of the Mary A. Gregory
1875 – 1890: Nathan Sanders, Chicago, IL
1891 – 1892: Frank Brown, Milwaukee, WI
1892 – 1893: F. E. Lennox, Manitowoc, WI
1893 – 1896: P. Lamere, et all., Jacksonport, WI
1893 – 1900: T. Olson, Washington Island, WI
1902 – 1902: Martin Mickelson
1901 – 1901: Olaf Olsen
1902 – 1903: Olaf Olson, Frankfurt, MI
1905 – 1906: D. D. Ludwig, Benton Harbor, MI
1907 – 1909: Eliza J. Ludwig, Benton Harbor, MI
1910 – 1911: William W. Preston, Benton Harbor, MI
1912 – 1926: J. H. Woltman, Chicago, IL
It seems in 1901 the owners of the Mary A. Gregory and the G. W. Westcott (US No. 10335) swapped ships.

New church tower? We've been waiting 150 years
Neighbours raise objections to building work amid fears of loss of light and blocked views
30 August, 2019 — By Calum Fraser
Father Gideon Wagay outside the church
PLANS to crown a church in Holloway with a tower have been revealed as elders bid to realise a vision first set out 150 years ago.
A lack of cash frustrated the church's ambitions to finish the building in the 19th century but the challenge of Islington's planning system could provide a more modern-day hurdle.
The move to add the tower on top of the Sacred Heart of Jesus church in Eden Grove initially received 21 objections from nearby residents.
Some argued that the 15.5-metre tower will plunge them into darkness and leaseholders fear their property will fall in value as their views across the capital are obstructed.
Father Gideon Wagay, who has been the parish priest for 16 years, said: "We want to honour the legacy of the people who first built the church. We want to complete what they have started."
In the 1850s the congregation, mostly made up of Irish immigrants, scraped together materials and any spare cash they could get to build a church.
Victorian architect Frederick Pownall produced a design, but a shortfall in funds meant the tower was "capped off" resulting in a "squat, truncated" block, according to design documents.
Successive priests have considered finishing the project.
How the new church tower could look
Fr Gideon said: "The skyline has changed. When I arrived it was derelict around here. Housing blocks have been built up around us and we are now being dwarfed. The tower will be faithful to the original plan."
The planning application, made by the Westminster RC Diocese Trust, will be brought before the council next week with officers recommending that councillors grant planning permission.
The brick tower will have a 1.5-metre ornamental wrought iron cross on top, if the proposal is approved.
The building is Grade II listed and lies within the St Mary Magdalene conservation area.
Usually, alterations to listed buildings are very strictly regulated but listed Roman Catholic churches are exempt from such stringent regulations under the Ecclesiastical Exemption Order 2010.
Residents were first consulted last May and then again in April this year. Objectors in nearby Carronade Court say it will reduce the amount of daylight they receive and "block the view of the city, in particular, St Paul's Cathedral".
There is also concern about noise caused by the construction and proposals to put a bell in the tower.
Westminster diocese senior parish building surveyor Chris Fanning, whose grandparents were married in the church, said: "What a crusade it has been getting planning permission."
Mr Fanning added: "We are doing this for the people of the parish who never thought they would live to see the church completed."
The church has yet to line up funding for the work but is seeking permission to build before a wider appeal for donations.

Have you ever sat in a doctor's office for hours despite having an appointment at a specific time? Has a hotel turned down your reservation because it's full? Or have you been bumped off a flight that you paid for? These are all symptoms of overbooking, a practice where businesses and institutions sell or book more than their full capacity. While often infuriating for the customer, overbooking happens because it increases profits while also letting businesses optimize their resources. They know that not everyone will show up to their appointments, reservations, and flights, so they make more available than they actually have to offer. Airlines are the classical example, partially because it happens so often. About 50,000 people get bumped off their flights each year. That figure comes at little surprise to the airlines themselves, which use statistics to determine exactly how many tickets to sell. It's a delicate operation. Sell too few, and they're wasting seats. Sell too many, and they pay penalties - money, free flights, hotel stays, and annoyed customers. So here's a simplified version of how their calculations work. Airlines have collected years worth of information about who does and doesn't show up for certain flights. They know, for example, that on a particular route, the probability that each individual customer will show up on time is 90%. For the sake of simplicity, we'll assume that every customer is traveling individually rather than as families or groups. Then, if there are 180 seats on the plane and they sell 180 tickets, the most likely result is that 162 passengers will board. But, of course, you could also end up with more passengers, or fewer. The probability for each value is given by what's called a binomial distribution, which peaks at the most likely outcome. Now let's look at the revenue. The airline makes money from each ticket buyer and loses money for each person who gets bumped. Let's say a ticket costs $250 and isn't exchangeable for a later flight. And the cost of bumping a passenger is $800. These numbers are just for the sake of example. Actual amounts vary considerably. So here, if you don't sell any extra tickets, you make $45,000. If you sell 15 extras and at least 15 people are no shows, you make $48,750. That's the best case. In the worst case, everyone shows up. 15 unlucky passengers get bumped, and the revenue will only be $36,750, even less than if you only sold 180 tickets in the first place. But what matters isn't just how good or bad a scenario is financially, but how likely it is to happen. So how likely is each scenario? We can find out by using the binomial distribution. In this example, the probability of exactly 195 passengers boarding is almost 0%. The probability of exactly 184 passengers boarding is 1.11%, and so on. Multiply these probabilities by the revenue for each case, add them all up, and subtract the sum from the earnings by 195 sold tickets, and you get the expected revenue for selling 195 tickets. By repeating this calculation for various numbers of extra tickets, the airline can find the one likely to yield the highest revenue. In this example, that's 198 tickets, from which the airline will probably make $48,774, almost 4,000 more than without overbooking. And that's just for one flight. Multiply that by a million flights per airline per year, and overbooking adds up fast. Of course, the actual calculation is much more complicated. Airlines apply many factors to create even more accurate models. But should they? Some argue that overbooking is unethical. You're charging two people for the same resource. Of course, if you're 100% sure someone won't show up, it's fine to sell their seat. But what if you're only 95% sure? 75%? Is there a number that separates being unethical from being practical?

Antiques and Auction News article discusses stoneware fakes
Antiques and Auction News Article
Fooled By Fakes – Buyer Beware! This Month: Red Wing Stoneware
by Anita Stratos I've always admired Red Wing stoneware – they're such wonderful pieces of Americana – but I have yet to acquire a piece at auction. In preparation for some upcoming auctions where several interesting pieces will be sold, I decided to find out if there are any known fakes and reproductions in the market. Not surprisingly, they're out there, especially since stoneware prices have been increasing for a few decades, with some rare examples selling for over $50,000.
I contacted the Red Wing Collectors Society (RWCS; www.redwingcollectors.org), a very helpful group of collectors who are eager to share their extensive knowledge with others. RWCS newsletter editor Rick Natynski recently covered part of this growing problem in his December 2009 newsletter article. He reported that reproduction advertising stamps are being found on old stoneware at auctions, flea markets, and online. He warned that these reproductions are "so well done that it's fooling even the most advanced collectors." To illustrate his point, he shared a story about one longtime Red Wing collector and dealer who had purchased a one gallon crock with Nebraska advertising for $2,000 from an online auction. Although this particular advertising was new to him, upon receiving the crock, it passed his inspection and he sold it to one of his regular customers. Before the dealer even had a chance to ship the crock, the customer contacted him because he had been told by another expert that it was a modern reproduction. Upon hearing this, the dealer tested the piece by scraping a corner of the advertising, which came right off – this was a sure sign of a fake label. Being an honest dealer, he refunded the buyer's money and would attempt to recoup his money from the original online seller.
Natynski did some investigating. "After doing some digging, one person told me these pieces are being made by a guy in Hastings, Nebraska, but they didn't know the name of the person making them," he wrote in his article.
Natynski wasn't able to verify that the person making these crocks actually lives in Hastings, but he was able to discover that the person is selling these fake advertising pieces as new and includes a waiver stating that the crockery itself is old but he has fired a new advertising stamp onto it. Unfortunately, the waivers are printed on paper and there is no mark on the stoneware itself indicating that the advertising stamp is fake and was added on later, so it's all too easy for an unscrupulous seller to buy one of these pieces, throw away the waiver, and then misrepresent the item as authentic and sell it for a high price.
Natynski offers a couple of ways that buyers can determine the authenticity of an advertising crock. Like the dealer in the story above, he suggests gently scratching a corner of the advertising with a razor blade or pen knife; if it's fake, it will come off easily.
"Before you start scratching a jug in front of its owner, however, explain to them that scratching at the glaze won't damage the crock or the advertising if it's original," Natynski wrote. "The glaze on original zinc-glazed Red Wing stoneware pieces is extremely strong, and provided the glaze hasn't pitted due to acid damage at some point in the past, scratching it with a knife will not harm the piece."
It's a little more difficult if you're considering buying an advertising crock online and can only judge the authenticity from photos. However, Natynski advises that buyers study the advertising stamp and if it doesn't look "quite right," has a slightly different looking font, or the size of the type or shape of the ad is different than that on known original Red Wing pieces, you may be looking at a fake. If you're well educated in Red Wing advertising and come across an advertising stamp that you've never seen before, Natynski recommends talking to other collectors to find out if they've ever seen similar examples. While it's always possible to come across one of those rare examples that's been tucked away for years, he advises buyers to proceed with caution before investing a large sum in a piece that a good number of experienced collectors have never seen before.
Larry Birks, President of the Trails West Chapter RWCS, underscores Natynkski's advice and offers some additional information from his "Stoneware Fakes" seminar presented at the July 2010 RWCS Convention. He warns that there are five distinct types of faked stoneware that buyers need to be aware of: those with reproduction vinyl stickers, decals, paper or vinyl labels, and complete reproductions of old pieces. While most reproductions are marked by modern potters as such, there have been a few instances where unscrupulous sellers have ground off the new mark and tried to represent the piece as old. These pieces are relatively easy to detect, as buyers will see the ground-off area.
Sometimes buyers can tell a fake by the type of advertising on the stoneware. Birks said that obvious mismatches, such as whiskey advertising on a syrup jug or mineral water advertising on an open crock (which should instead be on a jug) are clear indications of new advertising added to old stoneware. In addition, buyers should exercise caution if the entire piece of stoneware is coated in the dirt of time except for the area where the advertising is located. Because an advertising piece with a factory mark can sell for up to quadruple the amount of an unmarked piece, fraudsters are adding advertising to old factory-marked stoneware; this emphasizes the importance of checking the legitimacy of any advertising piece.
Birks offers a couple of easy ways for buyers to detect fake advertising. Vinyl stickers tend to look authentic, but you can feel the edges if you run your fingers over the advertising. Even if the sticker has been coated to make it appear as if it's underneath the glaze, you can still see the sticker's edges in bright light. In the case of water-applied decals, you'll see discoloration from age as well as scratches on the edges. Birks said that old paper labels are now being duplicated with inkjet printers. The presence of a paper label can increase the value of a stoneware piece, and while some labels are obvious reproductions, others are of high quality and even look aged. Buyers need to use extreme caution in order not to be fooled by these labels.
But the biggest problem is vinyl labels that are so thin and are being reproduced at such a high quality level that they're almost impossible to detect if coated. Birks recommends looking at the piece in bright light or using a portable ultraviolet light, which will highlight the edges of the label. If the vinyl label hasn't been coated, look for peeling edges; uncoated labels will also wash off. Gently scratching the label area will reveal both coated and uncoated vinyl labels.
As a final note, two pieces of Red Wing stoneware that are known to have been faked are the half pint brown-top jug with the miniature red wing and a miniature union logo, and the one gallon Red Wing shoulder jug with a number 1, red wing, and small union logo.
The original Red Wing Stoneware Company opened in 1876 and operated under several different names until finally closing its doors in 1967 as Red Wing Potteries. In the 1980s, a new Red Wing Stoneware Company located in Red Wing, Minnesota, opened for business creating its own wide-ranging line of stoneware; it's important to note that this company is not in any way related to or descended from the original Red Wing Stoneware Company. However, the marks they use are very similar to those used by the original company, as are the shapes and designs they are producing, though the dimensions are different. This new company is not trying to deceive buyers into thinking they are purchasing vintage stoneware, but an unscrupulous seller could try to misrepresent their pieces to novice buyers, so it's important to recognize the differences between the marks and sizes of the pieces.

At a glance:
Signs of a fake or reproduction:
1. Advertising marks that can be gently scraped off.
2. Advertising with fonts of the wrong size.
3. Advertising of the wrong type or shape.
4. Ground-off area where the maker's mark should be.
5. Edges around advertising when exposed to bright or ultraviolet light.
6. Dirty stoneware with clean advertising area.
7. Advertising on the wrong shape stoneware.

Man caught drink driving on A11 with tyre missing gets road ban
PUBLISHED: 12:17 18 April 2019 | UPDATED: 16:46 18 April 2019
A man caught drink driving on the A11 with a tyre missing has been banned from the roads for 30 months.
Steven Lambert was driving to Wymondham to see his girlfriend in his Volkswagen Polo on January 26 after the pair had an argument.
Police received a call at around 1pm from a member of the public who saw Lambert driving on a flat tyre at 30mph on the dual carriageway.
The front off-side tyre was missing and the vehicle was being driven on the metal wheel rim.
Lambert was found to be three and a half times the drink drive limit after buying a bottle of vodka.
Lambert was sentenced at Norwich Magistrates Court this morning.
Prosecutor Anna Crayford said: "As soon as the driver of the car saw police it stopped and seemed to try to reverse, but there were cars behind and it couldn't go anywhere.
"He was told he was stopped because he only had three functioning wheels. He said 'Yes I know, I only live over there'."
Lambert admitted drink-driving at an earlier hearing on February 15.
In mitigation at the time, Ralph Gillam told the court Lambert has a "nervy disposition" after an abusive childhood, and has been an alcoholic "all of his adult life".
"In September 2017 he started his first ever relationship, and things were so positive he stopped drinking in January 2018," he said. "Until this incident he has not drunk for a year."
Mr Gillam told the court the couple had an argument the night before, and Lambert went to stay with his mother.
On January 26 she had invited him back to the house in Wymondham to "make things up".
"He was extremely anxious about going back and whether the relationship could continue," said Mr Gillam.
"The nerves he felt were so strong he stopped on his way back to buy a bottle of vodka."
He added things were "beginning to get hazy" for Lambert by the time he was arrested.
"His first comment to me when I told him the reading was it is disgraceful," he added.
Gavin Cowe, appearing for Lambert this morning, added: "He was aware there was a problem with the tyre, but not exactly what it was.
"He has been beleaguered by problems with alcohol for most of his adult life."
Lambert, 42, of Pelargonium Drive in Wymondham, blew a lower reading of 126mcg of alcohol in 100ml of breath. The legal limit is 35.
He was banned from driving for 30 months and given a community order with 40 days of rehabilitation requirements and 175 hours of unpaid work.
He will pay £85 costs and an £85 victim surcharge.

Tenuta del Portale Aglianico Aglianico del Vulture Riserva 2004
Member Reviews for Tenuta del Portale Aglianico Aglianico del Vulture RiservaAdd your review
Strong nose of tart cherry and some mineral. Very pleasant on the palate. Again, a black cherry thing and, maybe, black pepper. As the wine moves around the palate, there is nice tartness that is almost, but not really, lemon. Very tame tannins. US$1439 at Total WIne
Rich nose of red and black currant, crushed stone and hints of leather. Nice strong tannins on the palate with hints of coffee over red currant and rich cassis.
I have tasted this wine myself as a wine agent in Spain, and I have found this wine to be of a very high quality & prestige. Its characteristics are 100% accurate, it's tannic, full body, velvety, smooth & fruity. This superb wine accompanies dishes like Roast dinners, (Red/White meat), Game and strong cheeses. I have had some public wine tastings and there is already a great interest. I strongly suggest you try it and you will never change it for another wine.

Outdoor meditation is an excellent way to improve mental health, reduce anxiety and lessen stress. The use of nature and outdoor space in meditation has been proven to yield major health benefits. Beyond just the physical impacts of lower blood pressure and other cardiovascular benefits—like what comes along with most exercise—meditation can leave you with an enhanced sense of energy and a better mood. Over time, engaging in such activities can lead to better overall health.
According to EHE Doctor Fatima Hussain, the physical and mental benefits of outdoor meditation are significant. She explains that many studies have demonstrated that exposure to nature reduces anxiety and alleviates stress. In addition, fresh air and the vitamin D you'll enjoy when spending time outside boost immunity and mood. According to Harvard Health, this powerful vitamin is known to help with everything from osteoporosis to heart attacks and depression. Natural light has the added benefit of improving your outlook, so being out during the daytime can be great for your mental health. Some studies even suggest that time spent in nature can help with attention-deficiency issues and focus. Researchers also believe that exposure to sunlight helps you to heal faster after surgery or an injury.
While indoor meditation is also excellent for your health and well-being, Dr. Hussain explains that practicing outdoor mediation is associated with greater feelings of regeneration and energy. According to some expert yogis, it's actually easier to practice mindfulness when you're outdoors because nature inherently calls to one's contemplative sides. However, if you are unable to venture outside due to extreme weather or other inhospitable conditions, indoor meditation is still a solid choice.
The National Institutes of Health recommend meditation as a way for generally healthy people—or those with permission from their doctors—to boost immunity and heal from existing ailments. It is believed to help cancer patients with many of the side effects they suffer. In addition, those experiencing IBS, anxiety, pregnancy or menopause may find meditation beneficial. Improvements to these conditions can further lead to the betterment of mental health. Patients experiencing a sense of healing and restoration after meditating tend to see their moods improve. This can act as a cycle that builds on itself over time.
Beyond outdoor meditation itself, there are a variety of exercises that yield meditative benefits. For instance, Dr. Hussain explains, yoga and tai chi offer the combined impacts of meditation and movement. Put together, these can be influential in encouraging relaxation. Hatha yoga, which focuses on breath-controlled exercises followed by a series of poses and then a rest period, encourages practitioners to push themselves physically while keeping their minds at ease.
Tai chi has similar benefits, including a better mood, lower levels of depression and enhanced energy. In addition, patients with chronic heart failure who practice tai chi sleep better and enjoy an improved quality of life, according to research conducted by Harvard Medical School. Sleep quality and a boosted immunity are also known effects of tai chi.
Over 600 research studies conducted on meditation agree that it has the power to improve mental health, from depression to schizophrenia to PTSD and ADHD. By practicing this healing art outdoors and harnessing the additional power of mindfulness that nature tends to provide, you can experience a tremendous boost to your mental health.

The dermatologist-approved reason you need a showerhead filter
by Zoe Weiner, December 27, 2017
This just in from the department of things you already know: Taking a shower should make you feel clean. But have you ever stepped out of the tub and felt as though you had an ever-so-slight residue on your complexion? As it turns out, "hard water" may be to blame.
Far less fun than "hard cider" or "hard lemonade," hard water is chock full of minerals that have accumulated throughout the water cycle. And while calcium and magnesium may be great when you're popping them as supplements, they don't quite have the same feel-good benefits when they're latching onto your hair and skin.
"It's been noted that contact with hard water can lead to disruption of the protective epidermal barrier, which may aggravate atopic dermatitis, dry skin, and cause resultant itching," says David Lortscher, board-certified dermatologist, CEO, and founder of Curology.
Water in general can be drying to the skin, so when you factor in the additional minerals—and the heavy-duty soaps they require to get them off—it can be problematic. "If you have hard water, you'll often end up using more cleansers with heavier surfactants to clean your skin and hair, since you won't see the same lathering effect," says Dr. Lortscher. Soap reacts to the calcium in hard water to form "soap scum," and so you may end up using more soap than you need to keep things clean. "This leads to precipitation of the surfactant—or leaving a film of residue on the skin—which could lead to more irritation and even clogged pores," he explains.
Your skin isn't the only thing that unfiltered water can mess with: If you're a bleach blonde or bottle brunette, shower filters are important for maintaining your color. "Any oxidative properties or rust in water may muddy blondes, and mineral particles may create build up on the scalp and hair," says Fabian Lliguin, founder of Rahua hair care.
While there's some disagreement among experts as to whether or not adding an additional filter to your shower is totally necessary—it won't exactly hurt to take the extra precautions. After all, you're investing in pricy skin-care and hair-care products in the shower, so it could pay off big time to use filtered water that gives those the assist.
Shop shower filters
Move over, bubble baths: For even more ways to turn your daily shower into part of your #selfcare routine, try lathering up with body oil before you hop in, or literally sprucing up your bathroom with some "shower plants."

When the mail arrived today, was there another overdue notice? Did you avoid answering the phone because you knew it would be a creditor? How many times have you thought about bankruptcy - anything to get out from under the crushing weight of your debt - only to dismiss it out of fear?
Many people have perceptions about declaring bankruptcy that cause them to reject the idea. Some common myths include:
- Bankruptcy won't help because I have too much debt.
- Bankruptcy will ruin my credit score.
- My family will lose respect for me.
These misconceptions may cause people to put off taking a viable step toward peace of mind.
Too much debt
No matter how much debt you have, there is an option for you. You may qualify for Chapter 7, which will eliminate almost all of your debt. Your attorney will manage your assets and distribute them to your creditors. This may involve negotiating lower balances or easier terms on what you owe.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a reorganization of your debt. You may be able to hold on to your estate as your attorney works out payment options with your creditors.
No matter which plan works for you, there is a good chance you will begin to feel the burden lifted from your shoulders soon after the process begins.
A ruined credit score
Bankruptcy is not a decision to make lightly. However, if you have struggled with your bills until you are weary of it, the one thing holding you back may be the hit your credit rating will take.
While it is true that a bankruptcy is a negative mark on your credit score, that mark disappears after 10 years. During that time, you can be rebuilding your financial security by establishing a careful budget with your newfound freedom from debt.
Loss of respect
It's hard to disregard the opinions of people we love. If you are afraid of what people might think of you if you declare bankruptcy, you have a legitimate concern. However, you may be projecting on them your own fear of failure. If your financial situation is costing you sleep, interfering with your personal relationships or wrecking your health, the opinion of others doesn't matter.
Surviving the personal turmoil
Declaring bankruptcy may be an emotional decision. Many times, people find that the choice damages their self-esteem. They lose confidence in their ability to manage their affairs.
If this sounds like you, know that a compassionate attorney understands that you are worth more than your bank account, and he will help you deal with your finances during and after bankruptcy. A lawyer with bankruptcy experience knows that no one is immune from financial setbacks - even those who plan carefully.

Are you kidding me? Are you freakishly kidding me? Season 14 of Dancing with the Stars is it. Only on Week 3, and the performances and scores are at such a high caliber. Even the weaker performers are solid, able to shine in their own right. Â Picking a favorite performance each week is simply unfair.
Week 3 featured so many tears as each star told stories of personal successes and tragedies. I lost count how many times the stars and even judges broke down and could not speak. I thought Derek Hough and Maria Menounos made a bold statement with their rendition of Madonna's Material Girl. The lighting, the music, the choreography – D Hough at his finest!
But what shone even greater than Derek and Maria was Mark Ballas and Katherine Jenkins. Her tribute to her late father – just mesmerizing.
And lastly, you can't talk DWTS without a mention of William Levy. Judge Bruno is going to have an aneurysm watching a bare chested William shake it on the dance floor.

MOSCOW, December 25. /TASS/. Russian national A. Burkov (no name is given) was on December 13 detained in Tel Aviv airport and placed under arrest on US authorities' warrant, the Russian Foreign Ministry's commissioner for human rights, democracy and rule of law, Konstantin Dolgov, said in a comment posted on the ministry's website Friday.
"On December 24, the Israeli side, in response to our relevant requests, informed us that the arrest was carried out in line with US competent authorities' warrant," Dolgov said.
According to Dolgov, Russia's Foreign Ministry demands that Israel provide all information on the arrest of Russian A. Burkov and Russian consuls be allowed to visit him.
"We decisively condemn this regular case of exterritorial use of US legislation regarding the national of the Russian Federation," he underscored. "This strongly unacceptable practice has already become chronic."
"The American authorities keep stubbornly violating relevant norms of international law, infringing upon the legitimate rights and interests of Russian nationals, ignoring the bilateral regulatory and legal framework in the law enforcement sphere," Dolgov said.
"We responsibly state once again that this is a dead-end track, which complicates even more the Russian-American relations that are living through hard times through no fault of ours," he said.
"We demand that all information on the grounds for arrest of the Russian national be provided immediately and consular access be provided to him urgently," Dolgov underscored.
"We hope the Israeli authorities will prevent extradition of A.Y.Burkov to the United States, where he, like many other Russian nationals, would surely be in for politicized and biased 'justice'," Dolgov said.

To be up to date with the latest information in the raising livestock industry to can check out our raising livestock latest news. On the other hand in case you're new to livestock farming and desire to start professional livestock farming today get a copy of our Profitable Livestock ebook.
When livestock is kept in the pasture-based system they are let to graze openly and eat nutritious grass and other plants that are easily digested by their bodies. The animals welfare is greatly increased when they graze on green pasture.
Sustainable livestock raising also helps in reducing damage to the environment plus the produces such as pork, eggs and milk is much more nutritious and taste better then food from factory farms.
Livestock Health Benefits:
Livestock that are kept in restricted factory farms have less quality life compared to those raised on pasture. Livestock when raised on pasture can move around and live an all natural life where else in factory facilities the livestock are all crowded in confined facilities. These facilities do not have sunlight or fresh air allowing bacteria to grow and affect the livestock. This then contributes to the animals being provided with antibiotics which is not best for the livestock.
Since a lot of animals eat grass, grazing them on pasture has a lot of benefits. Some of the benefits are the livestock are able to produce secretion which is good for neutralizing acids that is in their digestive system. Since grain fed livestock produce less saliva they often suffer from dehydration, intestine harm and even death.
Human Health Benefits:
Livestock raised on pasture produce more nutritious eggs, meat, milk which is good for consumers then livestock raised on grains. Adding to that, pasture raised foods have a more healthy balance of omega-3 plus omega-6 fats then your conventional foods. Their nutritional levels are greater as well.
It's no question that sustainable livestock farming is the way to go if you wish to be a successful livestock farmer. The livestock are reared in a healthy way and the produce is good for us humans.

I was recently asked if I played Champions League (CL) Fantasy Football. The answer is that at this moment in time I only play FPL. However I did set up a CL team but never changed it. The question by a fellow reader encouraged me to log into my CL account to see how I was doing - the answer - mediocre at best. Here's the team that I initially registered:
The above team seems decent enough on paper, but some of those players didn't play or perform during the group stages. As a result, with the advent of the knockout stages I have made some changes to my CL team. I doubt I will be managing my new CL team too seriously, I may not even log into that account again - but for your thoughts and benefit, here it is:

Oh dear lord my heart aches. Literally the last bit I was like bro joyce, just stop and just ughh lol. I don't cope well with cliffhangers but I will force myself to deal with it. I SHALL FORCE MYSELF TO LIVE ON UNTIL THE NEXT PART IS RELEASED. Anyway lol I LOVED the whole game. The art and story were both so on point! Like the art made me (a person who is just beginning to learn how to draw ajsnknk) wanna draw cause of how damn pretty it was. And all the writing was done so well! Like it was that good middle ground between too much detail and too little.
Only thing I can complain about is adding more saving pages? I'm the type of person that likes to save at every decision (even if it doesn't affect the storyline) just cause i like to see what would have happened if I chose that choice instead and all that jazz. So it would be nice to have that ability but its a small thing. Otherwise really loved it and really excited for the next part!

With more than 700 years of history, Nottingham's Goose Fair is one of the most prestigious travelling fairs in the UK – and it's back in the city for a few days this week.

Once you're done with the thrill-rides, you can recharge your batteries in the family-friendly Moose Bar which features FREE live entertainment each night this week.
Acts providing the music will include Richie Muir, Samson 65, The Burgandys, performing acoustic sets daily at 7.30pm on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and at 2.30pm on Saturday and Sunday.
Along with the traditional Goose Fair food of mushy peas and mint sauce, candy floss and brandy snaps, visitors can enjoy food from around the world with great tastes of the Caribbean, Chinese noodles, Indian kebabs, Spanish churros, paella and French crepes.
The varied food on offer will be more of a hit than the dairy produce which caused the infamous Great Cheese Riots of 1764 – this is a true story.
Locals were so incensed at the price of cheese at the fair that they showed their feelings by rolling huge cheeses down the streets of Nottingham, drove the traders out of town and flattened the mayor with a 100lb cheese in the process. Fun.
The fair opens on Wednesday at 5.30pm and continues until Sunday night. Entry to the fair is free, and rides will cost around £2-£4, though some specialised rides will be a little more. For more information, click HERE.
And if you fancy getting a bit of a discount on some of the rides, download some 50p off vouchers HERE.

I am not a fan of Valentine's Day. It's honestly kind of an annoying holiday (don't hate me). But that doesn't mean I don't like the occasional literary romance. I mean, Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite books. So, when I saw this tag over on The Orang-utan Librarian, I thought it might be fun. Let's talk about some literary power couples!
(There might be some minor spoilers in this post since most of these couples are not couples at the beginning of their books.)
A Couple That Share Big Passions and Goals
I'd have to agree with Mustang and Darrow from the Red Rising series. Those two are amazing. I also love that they're realistic. Not only do they share major goals – and I mean literally solar-system altering goals – they actually fight about them. Like normal people.
A Couple That Love and Respect Each Other
This one has to go to Patroclus and Achilles from The Song of Achilles (and a million other books). Even when they're portrayed as just friends, there is true love and respect there. Their relationship makes me happy, even though it has a tragic ending.
A Couple That is Stronger Together Than Apart
I'm going with Celia and Marco from The Night Circus. I don't want to spoil too much, but they're definitely stronger together than apart (even though they're each great individually).
A Couple That Wholly Support Each Other
It took me a while to come up with this one, but I think Abigail Rook and Charlie Cane from the Jackaby series fit perfectly. They not only support each other through a lot of weird and dangerous events, they just support each other in general. I definitely ship them.
A Couple That is Genuinely Cute Together
I mean, Monty and Percy from The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue win this one. They're so cute it's almost obnoxious.
That's it for this tag! If you'd like to do this tag, consider yourself tagged.
And let me know in the comments: what's your favorite literary power couple?

The State Auditors Office found the South Kitsap School District spent $29,453 on a trip to Uganda, reports the Kitsap Sun. We bet they came back with some great pictures of giraffes that were very educational. The District won't pay it back, by the way.
While open-government laws like the Public Records Act, Open Public Meetings Act, and access to court records are the most common topic of og-blog, the State Auditor's publication of audit findings is another important open-government measure. The State Auditors Office often shines the light on our government when no one else can.
Now the voters in the South Kitsap School District know where their money went.

Florida will host Florida Atlantic in 2021, FAU announced Tuesday. The game will take place on Sept. 4 and serve as the season-opener for both schools.
The schools have met three times previously, all of them in Gainesville. Florida won 59-20 on Nov. 17, 2007, 41-3 on Sept. 3, 2011, and 20-14 on Nov. 21, 2015.
The game will round out both schools' non-conference schedules.
Florida will visit USF on Sept. 11, host Florida State on Nov. 27 and has a TBD home game against Samford, most likely on Nov. 20.
Today's news means Florida has a future game on the schedule with every FBS program in the Sunshine State except UCF and Florida International. Florida beat Miami in Orlando to open this season and will play a home-and-home with the 'Canes in 2024-25.
Florida Atlantic will follow its Gainesville trip with an excursion to Colorado Springs to play Air Force. After that, the Owls will host Fordham and Georgia Southern to round out September.

Ferris Pounding His Own Meatstick With The LeftMay 6, 2013 – 7:42 am
Ferris is getting his freak on alone one time more. That dude can't live out of giving himself the kind of hand jobs that this chab desires other chaps could, but since no one is ever as good this chab does it all himself. Finding himself lustful and wanting to get rid of some of this lust previous to going out clubbing this man receives his manhood out in the kitchen to loose a little wad and bring a smile to his face. Once he is without his knickers this chab is ready to rock, and his meat-thermometer receives hard just by his looking at it. As this chab jacks it off, this skirt chaser starts touching his backside.

June - Paying the bills - Gimme gimme gimme

I think I will post pics and write a little snippet about what you see in the pic. I encourage anyone else who is interested in WW II history to do the same.I'll start off with this pic.This small tank appears to be an Italian manufactured L6-40 Light tank. By the time it entered service in 1940 it wasn't even adequate for the light tank or recon roll. Lightly armed and armored it was barely suitable for use against infantry.This pic appears to have been taken in 1944 or 45, very late in the war. It is not clear if this tank was being operated by the Germans or Hungarians. Captured or confiscated L6 tanks were used by the 22nd SS Cavalry Division. Which was composed of mostly Hungarians of German extraction.Both countries used the Balkan Kreuz as insignia with the only difference being the color.This example is either knocked out or abandoned. It is being inspected by a Soviet Soldier.
Or Croatians? I wouldn't trust Italian tanks, especially when modified for flame-throwers! Ha. They make beautiful cars and can race but safety and such, not so much.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_L6/40The redirections and threads boogles the mind. The Balkans are so crazy but I learn things every time going down that rabbit warren. What a screwed up place due to position between powers and due to the ethnic, religious, political stuff. And just personal, with blood feuds, etc. Amazing. I'm prone to throw-out the term "balkanization" when I mention desire of some international, and external, enemies of our country to turn us into it, but always amazed, in doing so, how the real area was/is so much more complex and, frankly, crazy.
Men and equipment huh? I do believe that I'll have fun in here.
Oh my!
I guess I walked straight into that one......................
I think I will post pics and write a little snippet about what you see in the pic...
This thread has inspired me to dig out some of my father's WWII details.He was in the Army Air Corps during WWII and was shot down over Germany and was a prisoner of war. He was a bombardier and flew missions in the B-26. The photo in the attachment below is identified as the "Martin B-26B Marauder".I think this is a photo card he had of a restored B-26.
That is really interesting MaxPower. Thank Heavens your Father survived being shot down and his imprisonment. My Dad and all of my Uncles were WWII veterans as well and I'll post about their experiences as time allows. The B-26 was a wonderful airplane. In case you have missed it, there has been some recent B-26 Marauder posts on the site:http://ellgab.com/index.php?topic=91.msg71762#msg71762http://ellgab.com/index.php?topic=34.msg71933#msg71933
Thanks for the links, I will check them out. It would be interesting to hear about your Father's and Uncle's WWII experiences. Post some of the details when you can.

In Good Faith
International agreements are only "legally binding" if they either include provision for legal enforcement via an intergovernmental agency or have been incorporated into domestic law. Beyond that, they are binding purely in the sense that all parties consent to be so bound, which is ultimately an expression of "good faith" (Leo Varadkar's emphatic use of this phrase in describing Theresa May's conduct during the negotiations leading up to the 8th of December is significant). Though a state may have committed to be bound by a treaty, it can still withdraw at any time, as the US has threatened to do over the Iran nuclear deal, for example. This is because external sovereignty (a concession made to another state) is trumped by internal sovereignty (the ultimate authority of a state). That is why an international treaty incorporated into domestic law by legislation can always be repealed by subsequent legislation, as will be the case when the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill supersedes the 1972 European Communities Act. Whether there are consequences when a state reneges on a treaty is a matter of realpolitik, not a matter of law.
Michael Gove made this same point: "If the British people dislike the arrangement that we have negotiated with the EU, the agreement will allow a future government to diverge." While many saw this as a nod and a wink towards the Brexit ultras, it was actually a simple re-statement of Tom Paine's axiom that no future parliament can be bound by a parliament of the past, and thus a rejection of Edmund Burke's "contract of eternal society" in which the dead constrain the living. You might have thought that remainers - many of whom have insisted that a second referendum should be held on the grounds that leavers are gradually dying off and thus the complexion of the electorate is changing - would have welcomed this rejection of conservative ideology by the Environment Minister, but most seem to have interpreted it as evidence of the Conservatives' bad faith and little else. That may not be entirely groundless, but political commentators have passed up a fine opportunity to hoist the pseudo-intellectual Gove by his own petard.
Following the misrepresentation of the joint report's implications by David Davis over the weekend, the political debate has moved on to the question of whether the UK government really is negotiating in good faith. Many people have pointed out that the disparity between what the government has agreed and what it claims in the press is only too evident to the rest of an EU political establishment that includes many English-speakers and not a few anglophiles, but this ignores that the government is, Janus-like, negotiating in two opposite directions at the same time: with the EU27 and with the British public. This is the inevitable consequence of not having secured domestic consensus on the Brexit end-state, or at least a consensus that could command a majority both in the Commons and the wider country. All along, the government has sought to avoid debate and scrutiny on the grounds that its hands could not be tied in the upcoming negotiations with the EU27, as if the parameters for those talks were not already clearly and very publicly delineated.
The political incompetence on display arises not from Davis's laziness or Gove's disingenuousness, though both are real, but from the triviality of the 2016 referendum campaign and the refusal to interrogate the result beyond otiose commentary on the ghastly white working class, Olympian essays about a supposed "kulturkamf" and the marketing-inflected typology espoused by the likes of David Goodhart. The news that the EU27 are already asking for firmer commitments from Number 10 ahead of this week's European Council meeting, and are even suggesting that the preparatory talks on the future relationship (i.e. talks about trade talks) might be deferred until March, indicates that the failure to settle the domestic side of the debate is having a real and detrimental effect on the withdrawal negotiations. In the circumstances, the last thing we need is more constructive ambiguity, but the problem we face is that invoking Article 50 pretty much shut the window of opportunity for a debate that might have led to a consensus. That said, opposing the Article 50 bill would also have prevented a debate as the political contest would simply have reverted to the binary of "in" versus "out". What was needed was a more imaginative and less partisan administration than Theresa May could provide.
The likely result of this is not that the UK might, as some leavers suppose, "put one over" the EU27 and, in a sort of Italian Job counterfactual, escape over the border in a bus full of bullion, but that we will end up with a Withdrawal Agreement largely dictated by the EU27 and a severe shortage of goodwill for the negotiation of a future relationship, in particular the trade deal. The odds of that negotiation dragging on for years have increased as it has become clear that a transition period will have to be agreed, and it is also clear that the terms of that transition will essentially be the status quo (i.e. continued membership of the Single Market and Customs Union) less any UK say within the EU after the 29th of March, 2019. This raises the very real prospect that the increasingly elusive trade deal will not be finalised before the next scheduled general election in May 2022. I suspect that would be fatal for an incumbent Conservative administration because the outline of what is still likely to be a soft Brexit will not convince many true believers that it was worth the wait, while the majority of the electorate will be focused on the matters neglected by the government over the preceding years, building on the frustration evident in the 2017 election.
As it stands, many Tory leavers appear to be betting on a trade deal being agreed in double-quick time, though perhaps not as quick as the "one minute" suggested by David Davis, but that is only credible if you assume either a deal that is truly off-the-peg (i.e. no "pluses"), such as Norway or Canada, or a fallback to WTO defaults. The former is unlikely because of the complicating factors of freedom of movement and the needs of the financial services sector, while the latter would probably lead to a major recession. I worry that the ultras see economic decimation as an opportunity rather than a threat, both as a way of reorienting UK industry for a low-wage, free-trade future, and as a means of justifying "real" austerity. To this end, they might prefer to engineer a walk-out in 2018, with a view to riding out a recession and welcoming the first shoots of recovery around 2020. Unfortunately, many ultras remain in thrall to the myths of the Thatcher years, notably that the UK rediscovered its economic mojo after a strong purgative in the early 80s. They forget the importance of the Falklands War in securing electoral support. Or perhaps they don't, which is even more worrying. Someone is arguing in bad faith.

Thanks for making it clear that Michael Gove was echoing the thoughts of Thomas Paine!ReplyDelete
I wonder what we are all to make of Theresa May's round of applause by EU leaders! From the right that must alarm because maybe she gave away more than we are led to believe (lets hope so!) and from the left it will alarm that the EU have accepted a deal the left told us the EU wouldn't accept and wouldn't be foolish enough to accept.
Meanwhile in other news the USA (not North Korea or ISIS or Russia or Iran or Hitler or one of Hitlers henchmen or Jimmy Saville or Assad or Hamas or Hezbollah or Saddam or a Bosnian Serb or a faceless Chinese bureaucrat or a Syrian refugee or Mugabe), no none of them but the USA has enacted the biggest attack on freedom this century and taken humanity on a significant step to a totalitarian and authoritarian future it seems destined to take anyway and all that annoying bitch Naga Munchetty and that lifeless prick Charlie Stayt can prattle on about is some threat to underground cables from Russia!
It is stuff like this that makes me think the Corbyn affect was never something to be taken at all seriously!

Walking your dog along the trails at Ashland, bird watching off the boardwalk at the DuPont Environmental Education Center, picking vegetables at our Coverdale Farm Preserve, and canoeing on the Abbott's Mill pond are a big part of Delaware Nature Society's community. All of these activities also depend on our waterways being clean and healthy. Improving Delaware's water quality is a strategic focus for Delaware Nature Society because clean water is critical to our economy, environment, wildlife, food source, and public health. Therefore, Delaware Nature Society, Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, and Center for the Inland Bays are leading a campaign educating outdoor enthusiasts about the importance of investing in programs that will remove toxins from Delaware's waterways, improve the water we drink and protect parks, open spaces, farms and wetlands.
Many of Delaware's waterways are polluted due to failing infrastructure, population growth, and legacy contamination from chemicals, pesticides, and other harmful substances. While the state has made great strides to address our water quality impairments, there are still millions of dollars worth of projects and infrastructure that need to be funded. Delawareans resoundingly believe its residents and government can work together to improve the quality of our water. According to a recent poll with a maximum potential sampling error of only +/- 4.9%, 82% of Delawareans believe the pollution problem in Delaware's waterways can be improved and think the State of Delaware can do more. To learn more about the Campaign visit our website www.cleanwaterdelaware.org or "Like" us on Facebook for more information on how you can show your support for clean water!
Join Us June 2nd for Delaware's Clean Water Rally!
The Clean Water Rally will be a celebration of the work that's already been done in Delaware to improve water quality and illustrate the need for future projects. Supporters will have the opportunity to thank legislators that are supportive of clean water initiatives and ask other elected officials to join in our efforts. The Clean Water Rally will include vendors, information on our Clean Water Campaign, music, food, and a short program featuring some of our state's strongest clean water leaders. We believe the best way for residents to show their support for dedicated funding of clean water is to share their personal story of how water is important to them-whether they be a parent, grandparent, business owner, pet owner, hunter, fisherman, etc.
We're excited to see you on the Dover Green in front of Legislative Hall on June 2, 2015 10:30-12:30pm to show support for clean water! Meeting with legislators are optional and would take place 1:00pm-4:00pm. Delaware Nature Society will offer carpooling options leaving from our Ashland and Abbott's Mill Nature Centers. In order to receive your FREE T-shirt, carpool, and registration packet, please register with Delaware Nature Society.

Here at We Talk Uav, drone hacks are tested, especially if it improves the drone's performance. The DJI Spark was recently released last May, and videos on YouTube and online forums like Spark Pilots have been claiming that there is a DJI Spark hack which improves the video downlink signal. The DJI Spark connects with a mobile phone via Wi-Fi signal, so the signal between the devices are believed to have a delay compared to a straight cable connection. If you add a cable for your Android or Apple device from the Spark controller to a mobile device, then it is supposed to reduce the delay; this has been claimed as the DJI Spark hack. Watch this We Talk Uav YouTube test video to see the difference:
DJI Spark Hack
For those that are interested in testing the hack out for yourself, follow these easy steps:
- Connect your mobile device via Wi-Fi to the Spark controller
- Get an OTG Cable and connect your Android or Apple device to your DJI Spark Controller, or find a shorter cable adaptor
- Once the cable is connected, turn off your Wi-Fi signal on your mobile device
As you can see from the test video, there was a small difference.The range stayed the same, and the video downlink signal between the DJI Spark hack and the stock setup is unnoticeable by the human eye. We Talk Uav tested the hack and found the difference to be 100 milliseconds or 0.1 seconds in the latency test. If the difference is that small, then this DJI Spark hack might not be worth it.

Lausitzring (DE), 5th Jun 2016. BMW Motorsport Juniors Jesse Krohn
(FI) and Louis Delétraz (CH) were partial of this weekend's Motorsport
Festival during a Lausitzring (DE), where they seemed in a ADAC GT
Masters during a circle of a series 20 Schubert Motorsport BMW M6 GT3.
This was their second tour together, carrying also contested both
races during a Sachsenring (DE). The weekend's programme during the
EuroSpeedway also featured a DTM, a SUPERBIKE*IDM, a ADAC
Formula 4, and a Porsche Carrera Cup, ensuring a crowds were
treated to a illusory show.
The subordinate sessions for a dual ADAC GT Masters races took place
on Friday. Krohn set an superb path time in his group, putting him
third on a grid. Delétraz finished 17th opposite clever antithesis in
his session.
Krohn done a good start to Saturday's competition and, for prolonged periods, was
in row for a place on a lectern until he forsaken a few places
towards a finish of his stint. Delétraz attempted to make adult ground
again after a motorist change. However, a BMW M6 GT3 was so badly
shop-worn in a extreme conflict that Delétraz was forced to lapse to the
array line and retire.
On Sunday, a dual BMW Motorsport Juniors again battled tough to work
their approach by a margin from 17th on a grid. They achieved this
well interjection to a flawless opening and a fact that a number
of opponents were in trouble. The span came home sixth to score
profitable points towards a altogether standings. The series 19 Schubert
Motorsport BMW M6 GT3, that was creation a initial coming and was
driven by Claudia Hürtgen (DE) and Niklas Mackschin (DE), unsuccessful to
finish competition one and came home 20th on Sunday.
The BMW Motorsport Juniors were coached by BMW works motorist Jörg
Müller (DE) via a whole weekend. He is behaving as coach to
all a Juniors who take their place during a circle of a BMW M6 GT3
over a march of a year. Former BMW Juniors and stream BMW DTM
drivers Timo Glock (DE), Martin Tomczyk (DE) and Marco Wittmann (DE)
also visited their successors in a Schubert Motorsport garage. The
ADAC GT Masters now takes a six-week summer mangle before a fourth
competition weekend during a Red Bull Ring (AT) from 22nd to 24th July.
Jörg Müller: "We worked tough with a guys on the
set-up of a BMW M6 GT3 this weekend. we was concerned in the
growth and, therefore, am means to pass on a bit of experience.
The BMW M6 GT3 was really unchanging in today's race, that allowed
Jesse and Louis to work their approach by a margin superbly. Given
their starting position in a center of a pack, that is a really
good result."
Jesse Krohn: "It is illusory that we were means to
measure a few points. Unlike on Saturday, we were means to contest with
a other cars today. The swell we have done is really encouraging.
Jörg Müller gave us some profitable tips, that authorised us to optimise
a set-up. The group also did a pretentious job. This is how we want
things to continue."
Louis Delétraz: "I had a illusory opening path on
Sunday. we was means to stay transparent of all a skirmishes and was always
in a right place during a right time. we done adult a lot of places that
way. Jesse afterwards did a good pursuit in his army and ensured that we picked
adult my initial points in a GT race. we am delighted. Working with Jörg
Müller helped me a lot. we am totally new to GT racing, and can benefit
severely from his experience."
