Father Quotes (60 quotes)
[About gorillas] You take these fine, regal animals. How many (human) fathers have the same sense of paternity? How many human mothers are more caring? The family structure is unbelievably strong.
[On Typhoid Fever] How often have I seen in past days, in the single narrow chamber of the day-labourers cottage, the father in the coffin, the mother in the sick-bed in muttering delirium, and nothing to relieve the desolation of the children but the devotion of some poor neighbour, who in too many cases paid the penalty of her kindness in becoming herself the victim of the same disorder.
A true conservationist is a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children. [Misattributed?]
And as I had my fathers kind of mindwhich was also his mothersI learned that the mind is not sex-typed.
At the end of the book [Zoonomia] he sums up his [Erasmus Darwin] views in the following sentences: The world has been evolved, not created: it has arisen little by little from a small beginning, and has increased through the activity of the elemental forces embodied in itself, and so has rather grown than come into being at an almighty word. What a sublime idea of the infinite might of the great Architect, the Cause of all causes, the Father of all fathers, the Ens Entium! For if we would compare the Infinite, it would surely require a greater Infinite to cause the causes of effects than to produce the effects themselves.

At times the mathematician has the passion of a poet or a conqueror, the rigor of his arguments is that of a responsible statesman or, more simply, of a concerned father, and his tolerance and resignation are those of an old sage; he is revolutionary and conservative, skeptical and yet faithfully optimistic.
— Max Dehn
Before I was born, my father told my mother, If its a boy, hes going to be a scientist.
But for us, its different. Look again at that dot. Thats here. Thats home. Thats us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there - on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
By the act of generation nothing more is done than to ferment the sperm of ye female by the sperm of ye male that it may thereby become fit nourishment for ye Embryo: ffor ye nourishment of all animals is prepared by ferment & the ferment is taken from animals of the same kind, & makes the nourishment subtile & spiritual. In adult animals the nourishmt is fermented by the choler and pancreatic juice both wch come from the blood. The Embryo not being able to ferment its own nourishment wch comes from the mothers blood has it fermented by the sperm wch comes from ye fathers blood, & by this nourishment it swells, drops off from ye Ovarium & begins to grow with a life distinct from that of ye mother.
Dad [Walter C. Alvarez] advised me to sit every few months in my reading chair for an entire evening, close my eyes and try to think of new problems to solve. I took his advice very seriously and have been glad ever since that he did.
Descartes, the father of modern philosophy would neverso he assures ushave been led to construct his philosophy if he had had only one teacher, for then he would have believed what he had been told; but, finding that his professors disagreed with each other, he was forced to conclude that no existing doctrine was certain.
Freud is the father of psychoanalysis. It had no mother.
From my father I learned to build things, to take them apart, and to fix mechanical and electrical equipment in general. I spent vast hours in a woodworking shop he maintained in the basement of our house, building gadgets, working both with my father and alone, often late into the night. This play with building, fixing, and designing was my favorite activity throughout my childhood, and was a wonderful preparation for my later career as an experimentalist working on the frontiers of chemistry and physics.
Gauss was not the son of a mathematician; Handels father was a surgeon, of whose musical powers nothing is known; Titian was the son and also the nephew of a lawyer, while he and his brother, Francesco Vecellio, were the first painters in a family which produced a succession of seven other artists with diminishing talents. These facts do not, however, prove that the condition of the nerve-tracts and centres of the brain, which determine the specific talent, appeared for the first time in these men: the appropriate condition surely existed previously in their parents, although it did not achieve expression. They prove, as it seems to me, that a high degree of endowment in a special direction, which we call talent, cannot have arisen from the experience of previous generations, that is, by the exercise of the brain in the same specific direction.
God's Registrar.

Holding then to science with one handthe left handwe give the right hand to religion, and cry: Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things, more wondrous than the shining worlds can tell. Obedient to the promise, religion does awaken faculties within us, does teach our eyes to the beholding of more wonderful things. Those great worlds blazing like suns die like feeble stars in the glory of the morning, in the presence of this new light. The soul knows that an infinite sea of love is all about it, throbbing through it, everlasting arms of affection lift it, and it bathes itself in the clear consciousness of a Fathers love.
I am an expert of electricity. My father occupied the chair of applied electricity at the state prison.
I became father of the apparatus [floppy disk] in 1950. There was no mother.
I continued to do arithmetic with my father, passing proudly through fractions to decimals. I eventually arrived at the point where so many cows ate so much grass, and tanks filled with water in so many hours I found it quite enthralling.
I couldnt help picturing [the Steady State universe] as a sort of 1950s advertisement, with a pipe-smoking father sitting comfortably in his living room, next to the radiogram, with a wife knitting submissively in the background, and a small boy playing with Meccano on the carpet. The father would remove his pipe and twinkle knowledgeably as he said Of course, Im with Steady State Insurance, and a caption underneath would say You Know Where You Are With a STEADY STATE Policy.
I hate science. It denies a mans responsibility for his own deeds, abolishes the brotherhood that springs from Gods fatherhood. It is a hectoring, dictating expertise, which makes the least lovable of the Church Fathers seem liberal by contrast. It is far easier for a Hitler or a Stalin to find a mock-scientific excuse for persecution than it was for Dominic to find a mock-Christian one.
I remember my father had a sermon he used to preach when we were in Florida, in which he gave a reference to the Southern Crossabout the stars, the colors, in the Southern Cross, which thrilled me very much. I must have been around 5 years old. ... Now, it turns out that the Southern Cross itself does have one red star, together with three blue ones.
I think, on the whole that scientists make slightly better husbands and fathers than most of us, and I admire them for it.
In an era in which the domain of intellect and politics were almost exclusively male, Theon [her father] was an unusually liberated person who taught an unusually gifted daughter [Hypatia] and encouraged her to achieve things that, as far as we know, no woman before her did or perhaps even dreamed of doing.
In the year 1692, James Bernoulli, discussing the logarithmic spiral [or equiangular spiral, ρ = αθ] shows that it reproduces itself in its evolute, its involute, and its caustics of both reflection and refraction, and then adds: But since this marvellous spiral, by such a singular and wonderful peculiarity, pleases me so much that I can scarce be satisfied with thinking about it, I have thought that it might not be inelegantly used for a symbolic representation of various matters. For since it always produces a spiral similar to itself, indeed precisely the same spiral, however it may be involved or evolved, or reflected or refracted, it may be taken as an emblem of a progeny always in all things like the parent, simillima filia matri. Or, if it is not forbidden to compare a theorem of eternal truth to the mysteries of our faith, it may be taken as an emblem of the eternal generation of the Son, who as an image of the Father, emanating from him, as light from light, remains ὁμοούσιος with him, howsoever overshadowed. Or, if you prefer, since our spira mirabilis remains, amid all changes, most persistently itself, and exactly the same as ever, it may be used as a symbol, either of fortitude and constancy in adversity, or, of the human body, which after all its changes, even after death, will be restored to its exact and perfect self, so that, indeed, if the fashion of Archimedes were allowed in these days, I should gladly have my tombstone bear this spiral, with the motto, Though changed, I arise again exactly the same, Eadem numero mutata resurgo.
It is said that the composing of the Lilavati was occasioned by the following circumstance. Lilavati was the name of the authors daughter, concerning whom it appeared, from the qualities of the ascendant at her birth, that she was destined to pass her life unmarried, and to remain without children. The father ascertained a lucky hour for contracting her in marriage, that she might be firmly connected and have children. It is said that when that hour approached, he brought his daughter and his intended son near him. He left the hour cup on the vessel of water and kept in attendance a time-knowing astrologer, in order that when the cup should subside in the water, those two precious jewels should be united. But, as the intended arrangement was not according to destiny, it happened that the girl, from a curiosity natural to children, looked into the cup, to observe the water coming in at the hole, when by chance a pearl separated from her bridal dress, fell into the cup, and, rolling down to the hole, stopped the influx of water. So the astrologer waited in expectation of the promised hour. When the operation of the cup had thus been delayed beyond all moderate time, the father was in consternation, and examining, he found that a small pearl had stopped the course of the water, and that the long-expected hour was passed. In short, the father, thus disappointed, said to his unfortunate daughter, I will write a book of your name, which shall remain to the latest timesfor a good name is a second life, and the ground-work of eternal existence.
It is true that I am the father [of the H-bomb] in the biological sense that I performed a necessary function and let nature take its course. After that a child had to be born. It might he robust or it might be stillborn, but something had to be born. The process of conception was by no means a pleasure: it was filled with difficulty and anxiety .
Like my father and grandfather, Philippe and Jacques-Yves Cousteau, I've dedicated my life to exploring and protecting our seas, in large part through documentary film.
My father, the practicing physician, was a passionate collector of natural objects (amber, shells, minerals, beetles, etc.) and a great friend of the natural sciences. To my energetic and intellectually vigorous mother I owe an infinite debt.
My fathers collection of fossils was practically unnamed, but the appearance of Phillips book [Geology of the Yorkshire Coast], in which most of our specimens were figured, enabled us to remedy this defect. Every evening was devoted by us to accomplishing the work. This was my first introduction to true scientific study. ... Phillips accurate volume initiated an entirely new order of things. Many a time did I mourn over the publication of this book, and the consequences immediately resulting from it. Instead of indulging in the games and idleness to which most lads are prone, my evenings throughout a long winter were devoted to the detested labour of naming these miserable stones. Such is the short-sightedness of boyhood. Pursuing this uncongenial work gave me in my thirteenth year a thorough practical familiarity with the palaeontological treasures of Eastern Yorkshire. This early acquisition happily moulded the entire course of my future life.
My grandfather pioneered exploration of what he called our water planet, then my father sought to understand the human connection, and now, as part of the third generation, Im dedicated to not only raising awareness but also to empowering people to take action.
My mother, my dad and I left Cuba when I was two [January, 1959]. Castro had taken control by then, and life for many ordinary people had become very difficult. My dad had worked [as a personal bodyguard for the wife of Cuban president Batista], so he was a marked man. We moved to Miami, which is about as close to Cuba as you can get without being there. Its a Cuba-centric society. I think a lot of Cubans moved to the US thinking everything would be perfect. Personally, I have to say that those early years were not particularly happy. A lot of people didnt want us around, and I can remember seeing signs that said: No children. No pets. No Cubans. Things were not made easier by the fact that Dad had begun working for the US government. At the time he couldnt really tell us what he was doing, because it was some sort of top-secret operation. He just said he wanted to fight against what was happening back at home. [Estefans father was one of the many Cuban exiles taking part in the ill-fated, anti-Castro Bay of Pigs invasion to overthrow dictator Fidel Castro.] One night, Dad disappered. I think he was so worried about telling my mother he was going that he just left her a note. There were rumours something was happening back home, but we didnt really know where Dad had gone. It was a scary time for many Cubans. A lot of men were involvedlots of families were left without sons and fathers. By the time we found out what my dad had been doing, the attempted coup had taken place, on April 17, 1961. Intitially hed been training in Central America, but after the coup attempt he was captured and spent the next wo years as a political prisoner in Cuba. That was probably the worst time for my mother and me. Not knowing what was going to happen to Dad. I was only a kid, but I had worked out where my dad was. My mother was trying to keep it a secret, so she used to tell me Dad was on a farm. Of course, I thought that she didnt know what had really happened to him, so I used to keep up the pretence that Dad really was working on a farm. We used to do this whole pretending thing every day, trying to protect each other. Those two years had a terrible effect on my mother. She was very nervous, just going from church to church. Always carrying her rosary beads, praying her little heart out. She had her religion, and I had my music. Music was in our family. My mother was a singer, and on my fathers side there was a violinist and a pianist. My grandmother was a poet.
No one really understood music unless he was a scientist, her father had declared, and not just a scientist, either, oh, no, only the real ones, the theoreticians, whose language mathematics. She had not understood mathematics until he had explained to her that it was the symbolic language of relationships. And relationships, he had told her, contained the essential meaning of life.
Now length of Fame (our second life) is lost,
And bare threescore is all evn that can boast;
Our sons their fathers failing language see.
And bare threescore is all evn that can boast;
Our sons their fathers failing language see.
One of the grandest figures that ever frequented Eastern Yorkshire was William Smith, the distinguished Father of English Geology. My boyish reminiscence of the old engineer, as he sketched a triangle on the flags of our yard, and taught me how to measure it, is very vivid. The drab knee-breeches and grey worsted stockings, the deep waistcoat, with its pockets well furnished with snuffof which ample quantities continually disappeared within the finely chiselled nostriland the dark coat with its rounded outline and somewhat quakerish cut, are all clearly present to my memory.
One of the greatest gifts science has brought to the world is continuing elimination of the supernatural, and it was a lesson that my father passed on to me, that knowledge liberates mankind from superstition. We can live our lives without the constant fear that we have offended this or that deity who must be placated by incantation or sacrifice, or that we are at the mercy of devils or the Fates. With increasing knowledge, the intellectual darkness that surrounds us is illuminated and we learn more of the beauty and wonder of the natural world.
Paris ... On this side of the ocean it is difficult to understand the susceptibility of American citizens on the subject and precisely why they should so stubbornly cling to the biblical version. It is said in Genesis the first man came from mud and mud is not anything very clean. In any case if the Darwinian hypothesis should irritate any one it should only be the monkey. The monkey is an innocent animal—a vegetarian by birth. He never placed God on a cross, knows nothing of the art of war, does not practice lynch law and never dreams of assassinating his fellow beings. The day when science definitely recognizes him as the father of the human race the monkey will have no occasion to be proud of his descendants. That is why it must be concluded that the American Association which is prosecuting the teacher of evolution can be no other than the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Philosophy would long ago have reached a high level if our predecessors and fathers had put this into practice; and we would not waste time on the primary difficulties, which appear now as severe as in the first centuries which noticed them. We would have the experience of assured phenomena, which would serve as principles for a solid reasoning; truth would not be so deeply sunken; nature would have taken off most of her envelopes; one would see the marvels she contains in all her individuals. ...
Rudolf Virchow, often referred to as the father of modern pathology, broke sharply with such traditional concepts by proposing that the basis of all disease is injury to the smallest living unit of the body, namely, the cell. More than a century later, both clinical and experimental pathology remain rooted in Virchows cellular pathology.
Simplification of modes of proof is not merely an indication of advance in our knowledge of a subject, but is also the surest guarantee of readiness for farther progress.
Sir how pitiable is it to reflect, that altho you were so fully convinced of the benevolence of the Father of mankind, and of his equal and impartial distribution of those rights and privileges which he had conferred upon them, that you should at the Same time counteract his mercies, in detaining by fraud and violence so numerous a part of my brethren under groaning captivity and cruel oppression, that you should at the Same time be found guilty of that most criminal act, which you professedly detested in others, with respect to yourselves.
Suppose it were perfectly certain that the life and fortune of every one of us would, one day or other, depend upon his winning or losing a game of chess. Don't you think that we should all consider it to be a primary duty to learn at least the names and the moves of the pieces; to have a notion of a gambit, and a keen eye for all the means of giving and getting out of check? Do you not think that we should look with a disapprobation amounting to scorn upon the father who allowed his son, or the state which allowed its members, to grow up without knowing a pawn from a knight?
Yet, it is a very plain and elementary truth that the life, the fortune, and the happiness of every one of us, and, more or less, of those who are connected with us, do depend upon our knowing something of the rules of a game infinitely more difficult and complicated than chess. It is a game which has been played for untold ages, every man and woman of us being one of the two players in a game of his or her own. The chess-board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair, just, and patient. But also we know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance. To the man who plays well the highest stakes are paid with that sort of overflowing generosity with which the strong shows delight in strength. And one who plays ill is checkmatedwithout haste, but without remorse.

The belief that mathematics, because it is abstract, because it is static and cold and gray, is detached from life, is a mistaken belief. Mathematics, even in its purest and most abstract estate, is not detached from life. It is just the ideal handling of the problems of life, as sculpture may idealize a human figure or as poetry or painting may idealize a figure or a scene. Mathematics is precisely the ideal handling of the problems of life, and the central ideas of the science, the great concepts about which its stately doctrines have been built up, are precisely the chief ideas with which life must always deal and which, as it tumbles and rolls about them through time and space, give it its interests and problems, and its order and rationality. That such is the case a few indications will suffice to show. The mathematical concepts of constant and variable are represented familiarly in life by the notions of fixedness and change. The concept of equation or that of an equational system, imposing restriction upon variability, is matched in life by the concept of natural and spiritual law, giving order to what were else chaotic change and providing partial freedom in lieu of none at all. What is known in mathematics under the name of limit is everywhere present in life in the guise of some ideal, some excellence high-dwelling among the rocks, an ever flying perfect as Emerson calls it, unto which we may approximate nearer and nearer, but which we can never quite attain, save in aspiration. The supreme concept of functionality finds its correlate in life in the all-pervasive sense of interdependence and mutual determination among the elements of the world. What is known in mathematics as transformationthat is, lawful transfer of attention, serving to match in orderly fashion the things of one system with those of anotheris conceived in life as a process of transmutation by which, in the flux of the world, the content of the present has come out of the past and in its turn, in ceasing to be, gives birth to its successor, as the boy is father to the man and as things, in general, become what they are not. The mathematical concept of invariance and that of infinitude, especially the imposing doctrines that explain their meanings and bear their namesWhat are they but mathematicizations of that which has ever been the chief of lifes hopes and dreams, of that which has ever been the object of its deepest passion and of its dominant enterprise, I mean the finding of the worth that abides, the finding of permanence in the midst of change, and the discovery of a presence, in what has seemed to be a finite world, of being that is infinite? It is needless further to multiply examples of a correlation that is so abounding and complete as indeed to suggest a doubt whether it be juster to view mathematics as the abstract idealization of life than to regard life as the concrete realization of mathematics.
The following is one of the many stories told of old Donald McFarlane the faithful assistant of Sir William Thomson.
The father of a new student when bringing him to the University, after calling to see the Professor [Thomson] drew his assistant to one side and besought him to tell him what his son must do that he might stand well with the Professor. You want your son to stand weel with the Profeessorr? asked McFarlane. Yes. Weel, then, he must just have a guid bellyful o mathematics!

The following story (here a little softened from the vernacular) was narrated by Lord Kelvin himself when dining at Trinity Hall:
A certain rough Highland lad at the university had done exceedingly well, and at the close of the session gained prizes both in mathematics and in metaphysics. His old father came up from the farm to see his son receive the prizes, and visited the College. Thomson was deputed to show him round the place. Weel, Mr. Thomson, asked the old man, and what may these mathematics be, for which my son has getten a prize? I told him, replied Thomson, that mathematics meant reckoning with figures, and calculating. Oo ay, said the old man, hell ha getten that fra me: I were ever a braw hand at the countin. After a pause he resumed: And what, Mr. Thomson, might these metapheesics be? I endeavoured, replied Thomson, to explain how metaphysics was the attempt to express in language the indefinite. The old Highlander stood still and scratched his head. Oo ay: may be hell ha getten that fra his mither. She were aye a bletherin body."

The following story is true. There was a little boy, and his father said, Do try to be like other people. Dont frown. And he tried and tried, but could not. So his father beat him with a strap; and then he was eaten up by lions. Reader, if young, take warning by his sad life and death. For though it may be an honour to be different from other people, if Carlyles dictum about the 30 million be still true, yet other people do not like it. So, if you are different, you had better hide it, and pretend to be solemn and wooden-headed. Until you make your fortune. For most wooden-headed people worship money; and, really, I do not see what else they can do. In particular, if you are going to write a book, remember the wooden-headed. So be rigorous; that will cover a multitude of sins. And do not frown.
The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult. But America cannot resist this transition, we must lead it. We cannot cede to other nations the technology that will power new jobs and new industries, we must claim its promise. Thats how we will maintain our economic vitality and our national treasureour forests and waterways, our crop lands and snow-capped peaks. That is how we will preserve our planet, commanded to our care by God. Thats what will lend meaning to the creed our fathers once declared.
The psychoanalysis of individual human beings, however, teaches us with quite special insistence that the god of each of them is formed in the likeness of his father, that his personal relation to God depends on his relation to his father in the flesh and oscillates and changes along with that relation, and that at bottom God is nothing other than an exalted father.
The study of mathematics is apt to commence in disappointment. The important applications of the science, the theoretical interest of its ideas, and the logical rigour of its methods all generate the expectation of a speedy introduction to processes of interest. We are told that by its aid the stars are weighed and the billions of molecules in a drop of water are counted. Yet, like the ghost of Hamlet's father, this great science eludes the efforts of our mental weapons to grasp it.

The young genius early exults in the contemplation of power and beauty. During Scotts childhood, a frightful thunder-storm raged at Edinburgh, which made his brothers and the domestics huddle together in one room, shivering with fear at every peal. Young Walter was found lying on his back in the garden, the rain pitilessly pelting his face, while he, almost convulsed with delight, shouted, at every flash, bonnie! bonnie! Schiller was found by his father, on a similar occasion, perched upon a tree, and, on being harshly questioned as to his object, whimpered out that he wanted to see where the thunder came from.
There isnt one, not one, instance where its known what pattern of neural connectivity realizes a certain cognitive content, inate or learned, in either the infants nervous system or the adults. To be sure, our brains must somehow register the contents of our mental states. The trouble is: Nobody knows howby what neurological meansthey do so. Nobody can look at the patterns of connectivity (or of anything else) in a brain and figure out whether it belongs to somebody who knows algebra, or who speaks English, or who believes that Washington was the Father of his country.
What terrible questions we are learning to ask! The former men believed in magic, by which temples, cities, and men were swallowed up, and all trace of them gone. We are coming on the secret of a magic which sweeps out of men's minds all vestige of theism and beliefs which they and their fathers held and were framed upon.
When I was a small boy [my father] used to sit me on his lap and read to me from the [Encyclopaedia] Britannica say, about the Tyrannosaurus rex, and it would say something like, This dinosaur is twenty-five feet high and its head is six feet across. My father would stop reading and say, Now, lets see what that means. That would mean that if he stood in our front yard, he would be tall enough to put his head through our window up here. (We were on the second floor.) But his head would be too wide to fit in the window. Everything he read to me he would translate as best he could into some reality.
When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight nor for present use alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for; and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, See! This our father did for us.
Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinions starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I dont see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often its not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but its always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, Ive got a sneaky feeling youll find that love actually is all around.
— Movie
[American] Fathers are spending too much time taking care of babies. No other civilization ever let responsible and important men spend their time in this way. They should not be involved in household details. They should take the children on trips, explore with them and talk things over. Men today have lost something by turning towards the home instead of going out of it.
[Howard] Aiken considered Babbage his intellectual father.
[In my early youth, walking with my father,] See that bird? he says. Its a Spencers warbler. (I knew he didnt know the real name.) Well, in Italian, its a Chutto Lapittida. In Portuguese, its a Bom da Peida. In Chinese, its a Chung-long-tah, and in Japanese, its a Katano Tekeda. You can know the name of that bird in all the languages of the world, but when youre finished, youll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird. Youll only know about humans in different places, and what they call the bird. So lets look at the bird and see what its doingthats what counts. (I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.)
Healing, Papa would tell me, is not a science, but the intuitive art of wooing Nature.

Truro Treasures began in 1992 when several community members, most notably Betty Groom and Boo Houstoun, envisioned a fall weekend for children and adults to raise money to help save the Highland Lighthouse, and to promote community pride and interest in Truro. As a result, a non-profit organization,Truro Treasures, was created to sponsor the event. Since then, Truro Treasures has evolved and expanded into an annual fall weekend event that is crammed full of activities. The Mission of Truro Treasures dedicated to benefiting the community of Truro. Many events are free, and when funds are raised, they are given back to various local non-profit organizations. This year's theme, celebrating the 26th anniversary of Truro Treasures, is "Shipwrecks of Cape Cod".

Families, mothers and daughters, sisters and brothers, couples! Celebrate your relationships and capture your loved ones in beautiful photos!
Behind the scenes video
(Mother and daughter photoshoot. We even managed to take some glamour shots of mum on her own)
(For more visit our Videos page)
Family portraiture
Family portrait photography
I specialise in contemporary family portraits that are artfully designed and lit. Together with my team I strive to turn your family photoshoot into a beautiful experience from start to finish!
Free consultation
Your family portrait photography experience starts with a free no-obligation consultation in person in our studio, via skype or phone. Our team would like to know more about your family and your ideas for the shoot.
Ask yourself what defines you as a family and what type of photoshoot you would like to do. Is it in the studio or at a specific location outdoors? Have you got any props that you would like to incorporate into the shoot? Are you interested in a specific family theme? Do you want us to capture your family style and way of living? All of these questions and more need to be discussed during the initial consultation so we can create a customized photoshoot experience just for you and your family.
Apart from a standard initial consultation we also provide pre-shoot home consultations where in the comfort of your own home our experienced consultant will discuss:
- the style of your home,
- the space where the photographic artworks can be placed,
- the size, type and colour scheme of the artworks to enhance the design of your home,
- ideas on what to bring to your photoshoot and what colours to wear.
Our home consultation fee is $190 and redeemable on any products you decide to purchase at your reveal session.
To enquire more please call Mike on 0401 849 569 or fill out contact form and we'll get back to you promptly.
Customized photoshoot experience
On the day of your photoshoot we want to make sure that everything runs smoothly. While mum and the girls are getting their hair and makeup done dad can take the boys for a walk in a park or for a milkshake in one of the local cafes. Mum and the girls can enjoy the drinks, hors d'oeuvres and music of their choice too while getting pampered.
Once the girls are ready we will get the boys to change into their nice clothes and bring the whole family together for the photoshoot session based on the ideas we've generated during the initial consultation.
Reveal day
The reveal day (the day when you view the photos from the shoot) will be scheduled after the photoshoot session. We will display up to 30 beautiful images from your session. You can bring the whole family to help you choose the photos and products that you would like to purchase.

However the biggest shock came from the most unlikely place: chopsticks. This thing just came out from nowhere.
I'm not stranger to chopsticks while i'm not a master of it. I still can use them well and pick up small thingies with a pair of thin sticks. But but! I always met this simple standard kind of chopsticks in the market or chinese/vietnamese restaurants and they all look the same so i thought all chopsticks look the same. Like this:
So when the first time i got to a korean restaurant and it happened to be on my very first day right after arriving i was surprised to face this:
First i was like: you kidding me? what is this? Literally two flat thin metal sticks. Doesn't even look similar to the ones i was used to.
First time i used this metal sticks i felt total stupid, cos guys asked me if i know how to eat with chopstick and i replied "of course i know, what.." but i couldn't afford eating with them. Felt like i never even touched chosticks before, the sticks are very heavy compared to the wooden ones and it's quite difficult to pick up even bigger things like tteokbokki, how did you expect me to eat thin noodels??? It was so embarrassing. I felt like a child always dropping my food, and i bet more food ended up on the table or on my clothes instead of my mouth haha! I'm much better with them now cos only metallic sticks are given in restaurants, i even started to like metal sticks over wooden ones but sometimes i still feel like they don't fit in my fingers.

WIMBLEDON LIVE: Djokovic v Murray - follow the men's final live from Centre Court as it happened
Follow Sportsmail's coverage of the Wimbledon final as Andy Murray will attempt to become the first Brit in 77 years to win the men's tournament when he takes on Novak Djokovic.
The Scot came through in four sets to defeat Jerzy Janowicz under the lights of the Centre Court roof on Friday, and he will look to go one better against the Serbian following his final defeat to Roger Federer last year.
Djokovic was put through the longest semi-final ever seen at SW19 when he defeated Juan Martin del Potro in a gruelling five-set encounter, and it remains to be seen whether the match that lasted nearly five hours will have an affect on the World No 1.
The Serbian will be favourite when the players meet but with the majority of the Centre Court crowd behind the Brit, Murray will hope to taste his second grand slam success.
stick with us for all the live scores, updates from our team of reporters at courtside and the
best photographic coverage from 12.00pm.
6pm: TO RE-CAP: ANDY MURRAY WINS WIMBLEDON BEATING NOVAK DJOKOVIC 6-4, 7-5, 6-4
5.57pm: Some words from Andy's mother Judy, talking to BBC Radio Five Live:
'I was an emotional wreck but now it is the best feeling ever to watch your son win Wimbledon. I can't remember what happened in the last game but he was gutsy and determined to win that trophy today.
'I have been shaking for about three hours now. I have been around tennis for many years, you can never sit back and relax and think it is in the bag. The minute you start thinking too far ahead, it is dangerous. Never count your chickens, just be as supportive as you can be but he got through in the end. He has been strong and composed all week.
Sealed with a kiss: Andy Murray kisses the trophy after winning Wimbledon
'Novak Djokovic is such a strong competitor and to bury him, you have to play really well. I knew he had a chance to win if he brought his A game and he did that. It will be a mix of relief and joy. He will be absolutely over the moon.'
5.37pm: Andy Murray steps forward to lift the Wimbledon trophy.
Some words from the new Wimbledon champion: 'That was one of the toughest moments, today was an unbelievably tough match.
'I don't know how I came through the final three points, I'm so glad to do it.
'I have played Novak many times and when everyone finishes playing, he will go down as one of the fighters. He did the same today and that is what made it tough. I understand how much everyone wanted to see British winner at Wimbledon and I hope everyone enjoyed it.
Well done: Djokovic congratulates Murray
The wait is over: Murray wins his second Grand Slam title
'I hope you guys enjoyed it. I did my best! I did forget Mum, but then I did remember. My team have stuck by me through some tough moments. This one is for Ivan as well, I know he did everything to try to win this one when he was playing. He's fantastic, he's been patient and I thank him.'

He dominated the match from the start and even when he fell behind in the second set at 4-1 down he showed the fight and determination to drag himself back into the set and win it.

Djokovic pulls it back to 30-30... but Murray is keeping the intensity up and has a break point... ball looks to go long but no call from the line judge Murray challenges and HawkEye shows the ball went long. MURRAY BREAKS
View from Mike Dickson:
Murray fans have the right to be confident after that second set but then we all felt that way in New York. Not quite sure how he eked out that set, was on the back foot much of the time. Djoko does have a temper and it struck at the right time. By the way, I don't like these bathroom breaks, although more excusable in heat like this.
4.23pm: Djokovic 4 - 6, 5 - 7 Murray
The crowd is behind Murray and making their voices heard. Murray needs to keep his cool. He does just that has he serves out the game to love to win the game and win the set. Absolutely incredible comeback in that set from Murray from 4-1 down. Remember though that Murray went two sets up in the US Open final and Djokovic came back to two sets all. MURRAY WINS THE SECOND SET 7-5
A stat from Sportsmail's Brad Gilbert:
No-one has come back to win this title from two sets down since 1927.
4.20pm: Djokovic 4 - 6, 5 - 6 Murray
Djokovic looking to go ahead again and put the pressure back on Murray... Murray has the bit between his teeth and is not letting this go without a fight...

Murray goes ahead and then Djokovic pulls it back... but Murray wins the game and is all square in the set... he needs to keep this momentum going.
Rattled? Novak Djokovic disputes a call with the umpire
View from Mike Dickson:
Murray bravely clinging on to get back from 1-4 to 4-4. Got to think that the winner of this set is in pole position even if it's Djoko. He's made Murray do far more running in this intense heat.
3.56pm: Djokovic 4 - 6, 4 - 3 Murray
Right, after that good hold in his service game can Murray break back? Good start as he goes ahead... Djokovic pulls himself back into the game... but Murray goes ahead once again with a very luck net cord shot... Break point Murray and Djokovic double faults MURRAY BREAKS.
Here is Sportsmail's Laura Williamson:
The omens are stacking up: 77 years since the last British male winner, 1977 was Virginia's year…and now Murray breaks Djokovic's serve in the seventh game of both sets. Indulge me on this one, please!
3.48pm: Djokovic 4 - 6, 4 - 2 Murray
Murray is not about to give up on this set with out a fight and serves out the game to make it 4-2.. Murray looked aggressive at the end of that game he will believe he can get back into this set.
3.43pm: Djokovic 4 - 6, 4 - 1 Murray
Big service game for Djokovic... hold and he will look sure to level up the match in sets... Murray goes 15-30 ahead but Djokovic pulls it back to win the game and take a 4-1 lead.
View from Mike Dickson:
Message for Murray is that he isn't going to win this by being the more defensive of the two, even though that is his default setting. He has now put a cap on for the first time this tournament, probably wants to see what it's like from the non Royal Box end. You didn't think Djokovic would just go away did you? Impressive response from the Serb but you would expect no less.
3.38pm: Djokovic 4 - 6, 3 - 1 Murray
Murray to serve and again looking to hold to keep it all square in this set.. an epic 28-shot rally is followed by a longer 30-shot rally... both go the way of the Serb and then he wins the game. DJOKOVIC BREAKS a big moment in this second set.
Looking good: Novak Djokovic an early break in the second set
3.33pm: Djokovic 4 - 6, 2 - 1 Murray
Murray looks to get on top of Djokovic's serve but the Serb does not make it easy for him... it goes to 30-30 but the World No 1 holds to win the game and lead in this set.
3.28pm: Djokovic 4 - 6, 1 - 1 Murray
Murray has to hold his serve here... he is serving into the sun where he struggled last time... Good start by Murray... Then Djokovic gets a juicy slice of luck on the next point, a 32-shot marathon that ends with Murray being outfoxed by a net cord and bunting a forehand long.... Murray follows up with an ace that skims the T before Djokovic tugs a forehand into the net... It goes back to Deuce... but Murray sees out the game.
3.22pm: Djokovic 4 - 6, 1 - 0 Murray
Djokovic to open the serving in this second set... Murray takes the first point as Djokovic goes long... but he hits back as he forces Murray to hit the net... then Murray goes wide 30-15... it's the net again as Djokovic goes 40-15 ahead... Djokovic wins the game but replays show if Murray had challenged then the point would have been replayed... but he didn't and Djoko wins the game.
3.15pm: Djokovic 4 - 6 Murray
Murray serving for the first set... good start 15-0... he looks like he wants to get this one over quickly 30-0... now he has three set points... and he takes them. MURRAY WINS THE FIRST SET 6-4. What an opening set that was from both players. A fantastic effort.

But Djokovic serves out the game.
The other halves: Murray's girlfriend Kim Sears and Djokovic's partner Jelena Ristic watch on
3.04pm: Djokovic 3 - 5 Murray
Murray needs to hold his serve here, unlike last time when he broke... bad start Djokovic goes 0-15 up... now it is 0-30... and 0-40... Murray looks like he is struggling with the sun in his eyes on the ball toss... but he saves one point with an ace... and a second saved... Now it is deuce... Murray goes ahead in the game for the first time... but Djokovic pulls it back at the end of a 26-shot rally... Murray holds. That game looks to have taken a lot out of Murray. Both players are giving it everything.
View from Mike Dickson:
That was a massive hold at 5-3 for Murray. Becoming obvious that the non-Royal Box end is very hard to serve at.
2.53pm: Djokovic 3 - 4 Murray
Djokovic is finding it impossible to get past Murray and he goes 0-15 ahead... now he is 0-30 ahead... Djokovic is not looking as comfortable as he did earlier in the game, 0-40 three more break points... and he does it at the first attempt as Djokovic finds the net. MURRAY BREAKS again.
Get in there: Murray celebrates winning a point
2.49pm: Djokovic 3 - 3 Murray
Perfect way to start for Murray with an ace... an overhead smash then sees him go 30-0 ahead... it's now 40-0, Murray not messing around here... and now it is game Murray. He serves to love, good game from the World No 2.
More from Alex Kay at Wimbledon:
Alex Salmond has the oddest clap I have ever seen. His hands are so high and come together at an angle that looks painful and improbable.
At full stretch: Murray returns a shot from Djokovic
Hard work: Djokovic wipes his face during the final
2.45pm: Djokovic 3 - 2 Murray
Far more straight forward start to Djokovic's service game as he races into a 40-0 lead... Djokovic is presented with an empty court to finish off the game as Murray is out of the picture but the World No 1 somehow finds the net rather than the other side of the court... Murray then brings it back to 40-30... but an unfortunate net cord sees the ball go out and Djokovic is back ahead.
2.41pm: Djokovic 2 - 2 Murray
Having broken Djokovic Murray really needs to hold his serve now... but he gets off to the worst possible start going 0-15 down... and now it is 0-30 as Murray goes wide on the right hand side of the court... now it is Djokovic's turn to have three break points as it is 0-40... first one is saved as the Serb hits it long... but he takes it at the second attempt as Murray is unable to return a Djokovic forehand. We are level again.
View from Alex Kay:
The umbrellas are all up on Centre Court.... because it's soooo hot here that people need relief at the change of ends
2.34pm: Djokovic 1 - 2 Murray
Djokovic wins the first point on his serve... but Murray comes back with the next two points... we are starting to see how this final is going to go with long baseline rallies... Murray has another break point... another epic rally, this time 25 strokes, and it goes the way of Djookovic... Djokovic then goes in with a serve and volley and Murray totally mistimes his shot it comes off the top of the racket and out, advantage Djokovic... Murray pulls it back for a second deuce... another titanic rally and Murray comes out on top for another break point... but Djokovic pulls it back... Djokovic finds the net for his seventh break point... he doesn' take it.... Now it is break point No 8 for Murray as he comes to the net... this time he takes it. Murray breaks. It is 40 degrees on the court and both men are really giving this everything. Can they sustain this high intensity?
Good start: Andy Murray broke Novak Djokovic in the third game
2.22pm: Djokovic 1 - 1 Murray
Murray holds his first service game dropping just one point. It is a good start from Murray but he will no doubt be kicking himself for not being two games to the good after having three break points.
View from Sportsmail's Laura Williamson:
Just seen Sue Barker grabbing a quick salad in the press canteen. She looked stressed - and hot. Know how she feels! Plenty of nervous tension in the soaring temperatures here today.
2.13pm: Djokovic 1 - 0 Murray
Novak Djokovic serves first and the first point is an epic 20-shot rally that goes the way of Murray... Murray then goes 0-30 ahead... Three break points as the British No 1 goes 0-40 ahead, these are the chances he will have to take... Djovoic saves the first one... and the second... And then pulls level at 40-40... Advantage Djokovic... and he has done it, five points in a row for Djokovic to win the opening game.
2.11pm: View from Mike Dickson at Wimbledon:
Notable that both players were so revved up they forget what had been decided at the toss and went to the wrong end. Important for Murray that the crowd gets behind him from the first ball, and does not wait for him to go behind.
2.10pm: The players are warming up on a scorching Centre Court. The start is imminent.
2.07pm: View from Henman Hill from Laurie Whitwell:
Suburban London may be Conservative country but Prime Minister David Cameron got booed by Henman Hill crowd as his face flashed onto big screen. Victoria Beckham, on the other hand, received generous applause.

Political leaders: Prime Minister David Cameron, front right, and his mother Mary with Scotland's first minister Alex Salmond behind
2.04pm: Andy Murray wins the coin toss and Djokovic will serve first
2pm: The players walk out onto Centre Court to a huge cheer from the expectant crowd. Boris Becker says it is the loudest welcome he has heard for a final. In the past it has been suggested that Murray has not always had the crowd on his side. Not the case today, the majority of this crowd are backing the man from Dunblane.
1.55pm: We are five minutes away from the scheduled start of this match. With the loss of Rafa Nadal, Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga so early on some said this was not a vintage Wimbledon. But the quarter-finals and semi-finals were enthralling and if the final delivers then it could be one of the great Wimbledon finals.
1.50pm: How is Murray going to win? Alex Kay gives his view:
Andy has got to be aggressive with Djokovic today, attack him. There's no point trying to outlast the Serb. Murray's first serve is key too. He served brilliantly against Janowicz but Djokovic will eat up his second serve.
1.45pm: Here is Alex Kay with a view of Henman Hill/Murray Mount
Right, where's Wally? Free pair of Wimbledon final tickets for anyone who can spot him...
1.40pm: Mike Dickson looks at who is tipping who to win:
The pundits, ex players, coaches I have spoken to have a very even spread of views about the outcome of today's final, but probably the average view just leans towards Murray taking the honours in a long battle. I would expect a long first set, but not necessarily the ones after that. I'm very much inclining towards Murray myself, and I wouldn't be totally surprised if it is more one-sided than many predict. I do so in terror that I am hereby messing things up for him.
1.35pm: More from Charles Sale at SW19:
There is a huge celebrity count at Wimbledon this afternoon, but their demands are unlikely to reach the levels of Holywood actress Nicole Kidman. She said she was not prepared to use any of the public toilets around the All England Club and commanded one of the stewards to take her to a private loo within the Centre Court complex.
The last British champion: The statue of Fred Perry ahead of the 2013 Gentlemen's Singles final
1.30pm: Here is a view from Andy Murray's former coach, Mark Petchey speaking to the BBC: 'Andy's well aware of the weight of history, but he has to keep himself in the place he has been for the last two weeks. The opening set is crucial because they are both such good front runners.'
1.20pm: Did Alex Kay's stat put you in a bad mood? Don't worry, here is some good news from Laurie Whitwell for all the Murray fans.
Want a stat to put you in a better mood? The No 1 seed hasn't won the men's singles title since Roger Federer in 2007. The Swiss won last year as No 3 seed, while the No 2 triumphed in the previous four Championships.
1.15pm: Sportsmail's Charles Sale has some more news on what players have taken home from this year's tournament.
Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic may be playing for the Wimbledon crown and a winners cheque for £1.6million. However Tommy Robredo whom Murray beat in straight sets in the second round, had to make do with a fridge from his sponsors for putting up a good show against the No 2 seed.
1.10pm: Plenty of optimism from the British crowd, but here is something to counter that from Alex Kay
Want a stat to put you in a bad mood? Ok, here you go. Andy Murray has never beaten a player seeded higher than No 5 at the Championships.
1pm: Just an hour to go until the two players make their way onto court.
Final preparations: Andy Murray practices ahead of final
Eyes on the prize: Murray is playing in his second successive Wimbledon final
12.55pm: Charles Sale has some information on what Murray will win today should he beat Djokovic.
Andy Murray will collect £1.6million if he wins the men's singles today. Very difficult to accept that Marion Bartoli collects the same amount for her straight sets - just two of them - success in the women's final. Equal pay only makes sense if both singles are best of five sets.
12.50pm: Some insight from the Murray camp, Andy's mum Judy Murray tells BBC Five Live that her son ate 'roast chicken, vegetables and potatoes' last night.
12.45pm: More from Mike Dickson who has been observing Djokovic.
I was watching Novak Djokovic warm up on Court number 18 where another interested onlooker was Laura Robson's brother Nick, who is still working as a court attendant there. It looked like Novak was hitting a lot of backhands, unsurprising as his banker shot let him down a bit against Del Potro on Friday. Very hot here, and a massive buzz around the grounds.
12.35pm: View from Sportsmail's chief tennis correspondent Mike Dickson via Twitter.
'V hot here today, should help Murray. Ball flying, dusty baseline area might further hamper Djoko movement, AM outlasted him in New York.'
12.30pm: Sportsmail's Alan Fraser takes a walk down the famous Wimbledon Queue
Novak Djokovic will not be without some vocal support, whether on Centre Court or on Henman Hill. Passing The Queue this morning a knot of Serbians were chanting the name of 'Novak', outdoing the more reserved Murray fans.

12.20pm: Comment from Sportsmail's Laurie Whitwell
Henman Hill was packed minutes after crowds were let in at 10.30am with next to no grass left peeking through.
A man wearing a sign on his t-shirt reading 'Keep calm and support Djokovic' was given a few evil stares, but a patriotic chap donned in Union Flag suit and tie, complete with sunglasses, was warmly greeted.
Even more impressive as the heat outside is almost unbearable.

There is a NINE-HOUR queue to get into the grounds. Bonkers and a waste of time now. Go home and watch it on the telly!
12.12pm: From Sportsmail's Charles Sale at Wimbledon:
'Biggest celebrity count of Wimbledon fortnight in the Royal Box today to cheer on Andy Murray.
They include in no particular order Wayne Rooney and Coleen, Prime Minister David Cameron, Labour Leader Ed Milliband, Victoria Beckham and Tana Ramsey, IOC President Jacques Rogge, and US Open winner Justin Rose.'
12.10pm: Novak Djokovic leads the head-to-head with 11 wins from the 18 meetings. But the pair have only met once on grass, in the Olympic semi-final last year, and Murray came out on top in that one.
12.05pm: Good afternoon and welcome to Sportsmail's coverage of the Gentleman's singles final at Wimbledon between Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. The top two players in the world will go head to head for the third Grand Slam of the year.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who along with his two lovely leading ladies – Rani Mukherji and Madhuri Dixit wooed Malaysia during the Temptation Reloaded tour – was touched by the love that he received from his fans there.
"Malaysia, you will be missed. The best two days I have had in spite of the injury. The love made it possible. Thank you," tweeted Shah Rukh Khan.
Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri and Rani were joined by rapper Honey Singh, 'Tum Hi Ho' singer Arijit Singh and former Indian Idol contestant Meiyang Chang in Malaysia on February 15.
Shah Rukh Khan, who had injured himself on the sets of upcoming film 'Happy New Year' a few weeks ago, braved the trip and performance in spite of being in slight pain.
"On way to Malaysia for Temptations. Little in pain but between Madhuri rani yo yo arijit and the team we will entertain u well…," he had posted on the eve of Valentine's Day.
While in Malaysia, Shah Rukh Khan kept the Twitterati posted about the concert rehearsals and preparations.
"Malaysia. Temptations on!! Little nervous to do rehearsals & dancing. But the art is more important than the artist."
Before the concert, Shah Rukh Khan had also posted a picture of himself attempting some fire-eating along with the caption, "DONT TRY THIS AT HOME or ANYWHERE ELSE.!! Dragons are not a myth!"
The show had the Bollywood Baadshah romancing both his B-Town beauties Rani and Madhuri on stage. He also danced to his major hit song, 'Lungi dance' from 'Chennai Express'. (In Pics: Shah Rukh Khan's Tempation Reloaded performance in Malaysia)

Three men took part in a scheme to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of coal in Knott County, a federal grand jury has charged.
The grand jury indicted Billy Joe Smith, Allen Rocky Madden Jr. and James M. Combs on charges of conspiracy and theft.
The alleged thefts took place in 2012 at the Doty Creek mine, operated by Nally & Hamilton Enterprises.
Combs was an independent truck driver who hauled coal from the mine. Madden loaded trucks at the mine and Smith was a supervisor there, the indictment said.
Combs was supposed to take the coal to a processing facility in Bell County to be loaded onto trains for delivery to power plants in other states, but instead sold some loads to an unnamed person in Letcher County, the indictment said.
Madden took part by loading Combs' truck and not issuing him a ticket to track the load, with Smith's knowledge, the indictment said.
The indictment listed seven truckloads of coal the three allegedly took part in stealing.
The three were indicted Thursday. The most serious charge has a top sentence of 10 years.

A soured Australian investment, a failed merger and rapidly shifting technology caused Telematics International to lose millions of dollars again in 1991, but the Fort Lauderdale company has emerged with more cash, no debt and a solid profit margin.
Telematics said on Tuesday it lost $3.77 million, or 22 cents a share last year, compared with a loss of $7.39 million, or 44 cents a share in 1990. Sales fell slightly to $64.4 million.
The bulk of the loss came from a $3.84 million fourth-quarter charge the company took so it could shift resources toward developing computers that allow high-speed exchange of telephone calls, computer data, video and text over the same telephone line.
Telematics` progress for 1991 included eliminating all long-term debt, building up cash reserves 22 percent to $14.1 million and cutting costs by nearly 21 percent, or $9.14 million.
Telematics` other fourth-quarter charges included a $2.15 million write-off of investments in Network Automation Holdings, Pty. Ltd. of Australia and $1.21 million in legal and accounting fees paid during merger talks with Harris-Adacom of Dallas.
The combined write-offs overwhelmed a dramatic increase in Telematics` operating profits to leave the company with its third consecutive annual loss and a deficit of $10 million.
``The market is smaller, but growing at a faster rate,`` said Miriam Frazer, chief financial officer for Telematics. Telematics sold about $1.5 million of equipment last year, much of it to Westinghouse Corp., Frazer said.
The company, which employs about 175 of its 380 employees in Fort Lauderdale, will have to lay off a few workers and write down the value of software developed for other Telematics products, Frazer said.

Mozart in the Jungle season 2 keeps taking us to the backstage life of world-famous classical music performers. In the new episodes everything seems to be going well for the New York Symphony Orchestra on the surface but offstage everybody can sense that some disastrous changes are coming. Rodrigo is losing confidence when lack of discipline starts to appear among the musicians. Moreover, Hailey can no longer work as maestro's assistant because she has to practice for her part as the second oboe in the orchestra. But nobody seems to be able to replace her at such a responsible position. Hailey gets an unexpected offer from Gloria within the orchestra's rebranding campaign but the girl soon understands that she has to pay certain price for that. Meanwhile, a late night drum jam at Rodrigo's place becomes the last drop: he gets kicked out of the apartment but it doesn't take him long to find a new roommate.
