Ken's First Batch

New flowers
With all the heat, several flowers seem early this year.
The monarda or bee balm usually does not bloom until mid July.
Holly hocks are usually later with the daylilies in July and August.

Tomatoes and peppers are coming
The tomatoes have been climbing and starting to set fruit. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and other members of the solanae or nightshade family like hot weather, but not too hot.
Last year during a hot spell several plants dropped blossoms, which delayed tomatoes, peppers, etc.until the next blossoms set fruit.

The spring chicks are growing!
Last year we could not keep up with demand for our eggs. To meet the increased requests, we ordered chicks as early as possible this spring. Usually Ken sets up broody hens to sit on eggs for three weeks and hatch out replacement chicks, but this does not dramatically increase the size of the flock.
We ordered straight run chicks. We always do this. When people order pullets, chicks are sexed at birth, and the males are destroyed. We believe in growing out all the chicks, and once males reach size and start to fight, we make decisions on who gets to stay and who heads for the freezer. We look for a strong, protective rooster who will keep his flock together and safe. We have seen roosters face off a chicken hawk - these are the guys we want! And it is an important decision as the rooster accounts for half of the gene pool of the next generation that hatches.

Purslane - a great green
Purslane is a European import. Many plants brought here from Europe have become "wild" and are considered weeds. They are all healthy and / or medicinal - purslane, dandelion, plantain, chicory to name a few. Purslane is a hot weather crop. It is really high in vitamin C - that is why it tastes lemony. It also has high amounts of vitamin A. We rinse, chop and add to salads. Since cooking lowers vitamin C, we eat purslane raw.

Recipe for Red Turnips
We grew a new type of turnip this season. I experimented today at lunch, and Ken suggested I post the recipe (must have been OK).
I rinsed turnips and separated the root from greens. I sliced the roots, salted and set aside. I cut the stems from the greens and cut them in fine ribbons. I sauteed the lower white portion of a couple green onions, added the greens and a tablespoon of stock to steam and wilt. Once the liquid was reduced ( a minute or two), I turned off the heat and added a bit of balsamic vinegar and cream.

Field Notes. Looking back I see I keep starting this section off with "Ken has been busy." Spring and fall are the busiest times for farming. Ken has been planting and cultivating. After every rain he watches and once the soil is no longer sticky, he is out going over the entire garden and field with a triangle hoe. He moves quickly and efficiently. He say it is like voting in Chicago - "Do it early and do it often!" The earlier he slices off the tiny weeds, the easier it is. And he tends to fluff the top soil layer as he goes down the row. That fluffed soil is more receptive to taking in the next rain.
It is also time to thin several crops - main season plantings of carrots, beets, parsnips, etc. We had a dear friend who could not "kill" any of those overcrowded root crops. As a result he always had small and spindly root crops. Thinning is an on your knees type of job. So Ken balances dancing down the row with a hoe and thinning.
Ken has also been spiffing up the place a bit for the garden and field tour on Sunday July 8th. Please mark your calendars and let me know if you plan to attend so I have a general idea of how much food to prepare.
|bok choy
Bok choy is an early summer Asian vegetable. It was the original ingredient in chop suey before celery. I tend to separate leaves from stem so I can cook the chopped stem about a minute or two and then add the sliced leaves just before serving. Bok choy is versatile and mild - I add to stir fry and soups.
Kohlrabi is another of what I call the "bonus vegetables." Both the leaves and swollen stem are delicious. Ken likes the bulb sliced and salted or peeled, cubed and cooked. It tastes a lot like broccoli stem. Treat the leaves like the bok choy or cabbage or kale. I slice the leaves and store separately from the bulb.
Two weekends ago I convinced a cabin owner / regular vegetable customer to try beet thinnings in place of spinach in salad and cooked dishes. It was a hard sell as his wife likes beet roots, but he does not. This past weekend he came back requesting beet greens; he actually likes them better than spinach. Try the beet greens in place of spinach - they are great.
1) NEXT WEEK Harvest day and vegetable pick up moves from Wed July 4th to MONDAY July 2nd. Enjoy the holiday!2) The Keppers Annual Garden and Field tour is Sunday July 8th from 2 - 4 pm. Tours and talk will be followed by some garden snacks. RSVP is appreciated so I know how much food to prepare.

New Chicks for Ken
Ken and I like to let broody hens sit on eggs and hatch out chicks.
Although that means the hen is not laying eggs while she sits and raises her brood, it also means we don't buy chicks and the chicks have a mom to teach them and watch out for them.
Ken built a couple brood boxes with runs. His first two hatches were big enough to come out this week, and now he has two new broody hens sitting on new batches of eggs.

Summer flowers
With the recent rain and heat the summer flowers have begun. This seems early for some.
The valerian has self seeded and taken over!
The hollyhocks have just begun
Some lilies have survived my lack of weeding the past few seasons
Yarrow has opened

Nanking Cherries
Years ago we got some Nanking cherry bushes. They are a cold tolerant sour cherry bush. The fruit is small, so rather than pit, I got a steam juicer - one of the best investments in kitchen equipment ever made. The only thing I have replaced is the rubber tube!

CSA Newsletter
|Probably the last week
Greetings from the Garden! This box has two varieties of lettuce, kale, radicchio, "topless radishes," asparagus, green onions, garlic scapes, snap peas, strawberries, dill, and the first carrots.
Field Notes. Rain. And more rain. I think of the proverb "Be careful what you ask for." Last newsletter I was talking dry, and now after over 3" of rain we are saturated. Optimum garden precipitation is 1" per week. And although the organic matter Ken has built for decades helps with extremes in either drought or heavy rainfall, certain crops suffer. The strawberries this week have more water, less concentrated flavor and significantly less shelf life. And if we get more heat and rain, the rest may just rot. So it goes. It has been a good run this year.
|Celery - soon!
Ken is working with and around the rain. Although most crops are in, he still has several of the sequential plantings such as broccoli and greens to plant. And with the rain and heat, the next "crop" of weeds has germinated. There are early season weeds and then there are the hot weather weeds. We have seen the first purslane, a hot weather European green that like plantain and dandelions has gone wild.
Ken has also been on maintenance. In addition to cultivating the weeds, Monday evening he was tying up tomatoes in the high tunnel. There are blossoms, and that is exciting for all the tomato lovers. In addition he is moving a pump back and forth from medium tunnel in field to high tunnel nearer the house. Even when it rains, the plants in the greenhouse need watering.
|pickled asparagus and strawberries ready to freeze
From the Kitchen. It is starting to feel like summer! And with summer comes solid root vegetables like last week's beets and this week's carrots. We also have snap peas in the box. I have a couple favorite recipes around peas. First, peas that are lightly steamed and served with chopped dill and sour cream or a basic white sauce of melted butter flour and milk or cream with salt and pepper - chopped green onions optional. Second a combo of sliced cooked carrots with the shorter cooking time peas - variety in color, flavor, and shapes. I love dill and use it not only with peas and carrots, but also in salad dressing.
We went to a potluck last week, and since there were farmers we had great food and several variations of radishes. My new favorite was sliced radishes in a creamy dill dressing. Emmet shared his dressing recipe - cream or sour cream or yogurt with "good pickle juice" and chopped dill. For those non pickle people I would guess it was a little sweet, some vinegar, some mustard, some onion or garlic, salt and pepper. With the rain and heat we harvested the radishes before they cracked or sent up seed shoots and became woody. Radishes store better without tops, and hence your "topless radishes" this week. Once the weather gets hot, the radishes also get hotter. If you need to back up the bite, slice and salt, set aside for about a few minutes and rinse off the salt.

Edible Flowers
This is an arugula flower. We plant arugula for its greens that we harvest in cool weather. Once we have hot weather like the near 90's of last weekend, the arugula bolts - that is it sends up a stem with flowers to set seed.

Beets Tops and Roots
Early in the season beets have beautiful tops. It is a bonus vegetable - two in one. Most people think roots when they hear beets. The tops are nutritious and delicious.
Beets are in the same family as spinach and chard. Just as it gets too hot for cool weather loving spinach, the beets and chard start.
Beets tops are a great, colorful addition to tossed green salads, they are tasty in braising mixes, and can be used in any spinach or chard recipe. I like chard or beet tops in quiche, for example.
Beets are high in vitamins A and C. The tops are also high in calcium and iron.

Pigs Update
The pigs had dug up most of the space Ken had given them around last fall's and this spring's leaf pile.
They love digging through the leaves for acorns. The plan was to move them north of the house into the woods east of the chicken coop. The pigs seem to do best when they are in a space in the woods.
As we started moving them, Ken suggested we take a break by the garden. The pigs started eating all the plantain and lambs quarters.
Ken looked at the size of the space. It was big enough for a while, so we moved panels there and now they are happily eating the greens and digging.
They also have an interesting form of play with Oscar the Dog. Oscar on the outside of the fence runs to one side and they charge up to him.
Then they ignore him so he runs to another side and the game begins again.
They seem quite content here and the fencing Ken set up north of the house will wait until they finish with this space.

Chicks are growing
|Mobile high tunnel with rye and poultry netting
Last year we could not keep up with the demand for our eggs. We encourage broody hens to sit and hatch eggs. We find chicks with moms have an advantage. But we don't have a large enough on farm reproduction rate. So as early as possible this spring, we ordered chicks from a hatchery to add to our flock.
|The tweens
They started in a large box in the house, then they were in one our coops. Now with the acquisition of poultry netting, we could move them out to the rye by the mobile high tunnel. They have a shelter and there are guard turkeys and geese.

Indie Artist Making Some Waves in the Biz
I have been hearing some buzz about an indie artist that is starting to make some waves. I love the stories of artists that get somewhere without a big time label writing checks behind them.

About Me
I'm a curious Graphic Designer in Madison, Wisconsin. Creating things is what I do best and that's what fuels my fire. When I get a project, I dig in during the concept phase and will stare at you doe-eyed and beaming when I deliver. The in-between, the tedious, detailed, creative process is what I love the most. You might also find me at home cooking a delicious Pinterest meal, hiking around Madison with Shero, my American Bulldog or reading a book. Maybe I'll be painting random things in my house, like planter pots or walls or the dog's nails. It's all about that precious work/life balance. How did the hipster burn his mouth? He ate the pizza before it was cool.

After 11 incredible years of Rapid Visual Media, today we're excited to introduce, STROMA Films.
New name, new brand but with the same Dougie and Brian at the helm steering a somewhat shinier ship and one that we'd like to think better reflects the distinctive brand of filmmaking that we've developed over the last decade.
In that time, we've been fortunate to establish relationships with lots of truly wonderful clients and collaborators and it's our sole objective to continue doing the best work we can for and with all of you.
Feel free to have a look at the films we've selected for the Work section of the website. We'll be updating this and our Blog over the coming months with films we've recently completed but yet to go live (there's lots of them!) and also news of some really exciting new projects we'll be working on throughout Autumn and into next year.
The uninhabited island of Stroma, for us, always felt like the start of a story. In those terms and like many a great adventure, STROMA's opening scene plonks you right in the thick of the action… we hope you enjoy because there's loads more as yet untold.

My grandmother passed away this morning – that's about all I can bear to write about it right now.
I love her so very, very much and I will miss her tremendously. She's always been an incredible inspiration to me and a source of encouragement when I needed it. There is now a huge hole in my heart and in my life.

K-9 is a green cartoon Martian dog, who is the assistant, sidekick and pet of Marvin the Martian. K-9 premiered in the short Haredevil Hare, where he and his owner Marvin tried to thwart Bugs Bunny, who had stumbled on the pair's plans to destroy the Earth. He is given his first speaking role in this short, seeming quite unintelligent and gullible. That changes in later shorts where K-9 carries an air of superiority over his owner. K-9 wear's a helmet, a skirt and two pair's of shoes all similar to Marvin's. K-9 is a reserve troop in the Martin army, and posesses the ability to turn his feet around to walk backwards and many other strange Martin abilitys. His main job is to obey Marvin and help him blow up the Earth so it no longer abstructs the Martin's view of Veuns. K-9 proves to be very loyal to Marvin, following his orders with slutes and never questions, but wheather or not he succeeds depends on his intelligence, which seems to vary per short. K-9 also can talk yet tends to communicate with Marvin in formal written notes.

day - we've lost count and I think I got it wrong yesterday - martyn thinks 14 so we'll go with that.
only a little walk today - 6 and a bit miles through sunbury and molesy to hampton court. Highlights of the day include viewing sunbury regatta from the opposite bank and walking through the concrete bollards of the old ww2 anti tank defenses. We did find a cool sundial in hurst park though - you had to stand on it and use your own shadow to work out the time. We reckon it was half an hour out.
Have realised I missed some things off my wildlife list yesterday - have also seen cormorants, red kites and fish (lots of little ones and three big ones - they must be the ones that got away.)
made it to hampton court palace for lunch and found our hotel about ten mins before the rain came on. A dry patch saw us dash to kingston for dinner. Hopefully it will not be too wet tomorrow - one feels ones distinctly tatty and a little tacky plastic peruvian poncho will not blend well with the posh umbrellas here !
no photos today - martyn thinks this is a good thing as he doesn't know how much they cost to upload. He neglected to tell me this before now - holiday relatively cheap but bankrupted by a gadget (story of my married life ! gotta love it).
Anyway - soggy pictures of hampton court palace tomorrow so more then. As we said as we passed under walton bridge today - g'night jim bob.
PS had to go on a boat again today but it doesn't count as cheating - decided to get ferry across the thames but the guide book said it was an option (I'm sounding very defensive now aren't I ?! .........)

BHSC Club Championships 2015
Saturday 3rd October
50m events – a quick guide
There is no charge for spectators at this event, but we will be holding a raffle and a bring and buy cake sale. Please bring any raffle prizes or cakes to the door on the night. Every donation helps to fund the event. Combined pool hire for the 50m events and 100/200m events in a couple of weeks time is £2500 and in addition to this we have to pay for medals and awards and extra hours for paid coaches.
Please make sure that your swimmer has the following:
· Their swimming trunks/costume
· £1 coin for the lockers
· A T-shirt to wear on poolside and a towel to sit on.
· A BHSC hat if possible (no UBSC hats please). Hats will be available to purchase on the night for £7
· Goggles that are properly adjusted. A spare pair is a good idea – goggles have a nasty habit of falling apart just before a swimmer races!
· A drink of water or very dilute squash
· A snack that isn't going to make lots of mess and NO NUTS PLEASE.
Doors open at 5pm, but most swimmers will arrive at about 4.45pm.
As soon as you arrive, make sure that your swimmer has ticked by their name on the register by the door to the pool viewing area. The pool staff will let us know when swimmers are able to go into the changing rooms.
The warm ups will be as follows:
Girls' warm up: 5.10pm
Boys' warm up: 5.20pm
Swimmers sit on the poolside below the spectator area and will be sent over to the opposite side to line up in heat and lane order about 4 heats before their race. Heats will be posted on the walls on poolside and at the back of the spectator area.
After their heat all swimmers must stay in the water in their own lane until instructed to leave. They must not climb out over the timing pads, but leave the water at the sides of the pool.
Results will be sent down to the medals table. Please don't ask the recorders for your times. We have over 500 individual times to record in less than 2 hours! All times will appear on the BHSC website Results Database and you will need to register and log in to see them.
Events start at 5.30 pm in the following order (number of heats may change)
1. Girls 50m Freestyle: 11 heats
2. Boys 50m Freestyle: 7 heats
3. Girls 50m Backstroke: 10 heats
4. Boys 50m Backstroke 7 heats
5. Girls 50m Breaststroke: 10 heats
6. Boys 50m Breaststroke: 7 heats
7. Girls 50m Butterfly: 10 heats
8. Boys 50m Butterfly: 6 heats
We hope to have all swimming finished by 7.30pm.
Good luck to everyone taking part.

I've learned the secret of being happy whenever one of my favorite sports teams loses early in the playoffs or fails to make the playoffs altogether.
For example, when our Nashville Predators lost the pivotal Game 7 last week on our home ice, routed by the Winnipeg Jets, I was secretly relieved. Being a psychologist, I have a toolbox full of defense mechanisms at my disposal to use when I experience direct personal failure or vicarious failure via the defeat of a team on which I've pinned all my hopes for meaning.
A winning team provides me with "status by affiliation" by wearing flashy team apparel or by telling complete strangers in an airport things like, "I'm flying back to Nashville, but I went to grad school back in '85 at Florida State University which won the national championship in 2013."
The personal risks of fandom
But following a team is an emotional investment of time, energy, and money. It's like dating in a way.
And the more your team wins the more serious the relationship gets; and you hope to soon consummate the marriage with a championship. But when your team loses in later rounds of the playoffs it feels like a broken engagement. If your team loses in the finals it feels like you were left stranded at the altar with a wedding band and reservations for a room with a heart-shaped tub in the Poconos.
The advantage of being a Cleveland Browns fan
In this respect no one has it easier than Cleveland Browns fans. Their team has won a grand total of one game over the last two seasons. Browns fans never have to experience the deflating disappointment of almost making the playoffs.
They never lose sleep, thinking, "If only the refs had not missed that call, our receivers had not dropped those balls, our quarterback had not thrown those interceptions, our kicker had not missed every field goal, and our defense had fewer holes than Swiss cheese then we would be in the Super Bowl next Sunday."
When the Preds lost in the Stanley Cup finals last year we consoled ourselves with reminders that we were the over-achieving 8th seed, exceeding all expectations just to make it into the playoffs. I told myself that Sidney Crosby and the Penguins (sounds like a terrible music group) needed the Cup more than we did because they have to suffer all year living in Pittsburgh. We're Nashville. Just living here is the cake and the frosting. Winning championships is just an incidental cherry on top.
Returning to my life
And now that the Preds are out of the running for a second-straight shot at Lord Stanley's giant sippy cup, I can get on with my fulfilling life and re-engage with some of the meaningful activities that were getting neglected in recent weeks such as …
- Showing up for work
- Feeding my family
- Paying the mortgage
- Notifying the police about a stolen mini-van
- Attending to personal hygiene
- Returning some lawyer's call about a lawsuit
- Taking out last month's trash
- Reading the works of 18th Century poet, Vittorio Alfieri, in the original Italian
- Working on my 2015 taxes
I won't be watching much more of the Stanley Cup playoffs because according to a critical and threatening letter from the home owners association I need to catch up on some lawn work. But of the four remaining teams I'm cheering for the Jets to win it all. Why? Because if only Canadians have any clue where to find Winnipeg on a map then your team and city needs something to feel good about.

Are you sure you want to vote for that borrow-tax-and-spend liberal?
Democrats don't fix problems. Their big-government philosophy creates them and nurtures them so that they will flourish. They will spill money on them and condemn anyone who attempts to fix them by proclaiming them insensitive and even bias.
America turned a country-saving corner in the last elections since 2008. Hopefully she will continue on the quest in turning her around.
No country, no person, can keep spending money it doesn't have. Class warfare will only divide us and ruin us. Did you ever get a job from a poor person?

Residents from both sides of the Hudson have a strong interest in seeing reconstruction of the Tappan Zee Bridge fast-tracked.
In the past, construction of any new freight, public transportation tunnel or bridge project takes decades by the time all feasibility studies, environmental reviews, planning, design, engineering, real estate acquisition, permits, procurements, construction, budgeting, identifying and securing funding are done, followed by beneficial use.
Based on previous planning initiatives, some estimates for replacing the Tappan Zee Bridge ranged from $14 billion to $21 billion.
This also could have included options of adding either bus rapid transit, light rail or heavy commuter rail capacity. Not paying for any of these options today, could be penny-wise and pound-foolish tommorow. What was the basis of the new $5 billion estimated cost? The final cost will never be known until construction contract awards and change orders during construction are made.
Perhaps the only real, dedicated source for fully funding reconstruction of the Tappan Zee Bridge is raising the tolls, with additional revenues placed in a lock box to cover costs.

The most important issue before us is natural gas drilling and the changes it will bring to our communities. What do our candidates feel about the issue and the ability of separate towns to revise their zoning to exclude drilling?
With the impending finalization of the New York SGEIS (permitting rules), it is of the utmost importance that towns decide what action they will take before permitting begins.
We have been debating this issue for more than three years with countless presentations and meetings. Organizations such as the New York Association of Towns have provided information to its members. There has been no lack of information.
It's unacceptable that candidates claim they are undecided or don't have enough information to take action.
The position of candidates who claim they are protecting towns from lawsuits is also objectionable. Such a decision does not protect local citizens from noise, air and water pollution leading to almost certain negative health impacts, increased traffic and reduced quality of life. It doesn't protect tourism or agriculture currently employing citizens from being crowded out.
Protecting towns means electing candidates who will not be afraid to take action and zone out gas drilling.

Tile roofs are one of the most exquisite and decorative traditional roofing materials thanks to their diverse nature in terms of colors, patterns, profiles, shapes and textures. By choosing a tile roof for a home, one is making the best investment decisions that can last for up to 100 years. Due to its thickness and sturdiness, it can stand up to extreme weather conditions that happen in Olympia, WA., while offering high aesthetic value and insulation.
With an excellent track record of providing excellent roofing services, Richards Roof Service, LLC have mastered the art and precise techniques required to install, service and repair tile roofs.
Though tile roofs have unmatched durability, they are not impervious to dirt and damage. A severe impact can crack the tiles, and falling branches or hailstorms can cause cracks on the tiles. As such, having a reliable tile roof repair and cleaning contractor will always come in handy.
Richards Roof Service, LLC perform professional repairs without creating further problems. Additionally, they can identify tiles that match a client's current materials. The most important are the fact that the staff is dedicated to doing the best possible job to ensure their high standards are upheld.
Efficient tile roof cleaning can be achieved without using pressure washers. Richards Roof Service, LLC does this by manually getting rid of excess dirt and moss and applying the right mix of cleaning chemicals to the tile roof. The good thing about this method of cleaning is that it doesn't use any water meaning it won't cause any mess or damage to the tile roof.
Any individual roofing tiles that are damaged during the cleaning process are replaced by the company, free of charge. Homeowners are always advised to contract tile roof repair and cleaning services from enterprises that understand the different types of tile roofs and their cleaning needs.
Spotting tile roofing problems can save one a fortune. Most family homes have raised roofs covered in clay tiles, gable, cement tiles, slate or shingles. In addition to tile roof repair and cleaning services, Richards Roof Service, LLC also offer tile roof maintenance. Some telltale signs of a damaged tile roof include leaks or dampness that are usually a sign of a slipped or even cracked tile. Strong winds and hurricanes can also blow off some tiles, and these have to be replaced immediately to prevent further falling of other tiles.
Tile roof maintenance is something every homeowner should do at least once a year to ensure that the roof is in impeccable condition, and if not, then the necessary improvements can be made.
Anyone looking for a well-experienced tile roof repair and cleaning company to maintain their family home's signature roof then is in the right place. Richard Roof Service, LLC are your go-to guys for anything to do with roofs and more specifically tile roofs.
The first thing one can do is do a primary surveillance of their roof by themselves to see if it is in need of tile roof repair and cleaning service or if it can wait a while longer. Visit Richards Roofing Serving, LLC in their Olympia, WA office for more roofing information.

Here are the details for a few shows I'm excited about playing this week:
First, tomorrow (Wednesday, September 5th), I'll be joining the Kristen Ford Band for a set at Club Passim (47 Palmer Street in Harvard Square, Cambridge). We'll be playing alongside Anna Rae and Samantha Ferrell for the official release of Anna's new CD "Peddler's Wares". Passim is always a great venue to play, with a cozy, intimate feel and delicious food and drinks. For anyone out of town, the show will also be streaming through Concert Window. Music starts at 8 pm.
Second, on Thursday (September 6th), Ethan Robbins & Cold Chocolate is headed back to Providence for bluegrass night at Lola's Cantina. We played there a little over a month ago and had a blast–there's great food and a great crowd. We'll be starting around 8 pm and going til close.
Third, on Friday (September 7th) I'll be playing with Frank Drake at Salvatore's (55 High Street in Medford). We'll be playing alongside fiddler Dan Kellar, and doing a mix of bluegrass, country, and swing tunes. Frank and I have been working out some harmonies, too, so it'll sound extra lovely. We'll be playing from 8 pm til 11 pm.
UPDATE: I'll be playing an early morning gig on Saturday (September 8th) with fellow upright bass player Tony Leva. We're playing as part of Meet Me at the Mystic, an event celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Mystic River Watershed Association. It looks like a lovely event with boating, artists, and musicians all along the river. Tony and I will be playing for an hour starting at 9:45 am–it'll most likely be a mix of free improv and baroque duets. Come on by!

Throughout the centuries, Italian armour was highly prized for incredible detailing and superior style. This superb reproduction armour is crafted in the styling tradition of those master craftsmen who created the originals for kings and knights throughout Europe. See the difference between a suit of armour from Italy and others made elsewhere, there is no comparison in styling. Each articulated suit of armour is made of no rust aluminum for ease of upkeep and stands on its own wood base.
This Medieval full suit of armour has a stud detailed, traditional crest breastplate. The Medieval Armour stands about 6 feet tall on its wooden base, but reaches over 7 feet when you add the height of its halberd.

Jeep Portsea Polo 2016
Yesterday I made the trip down to Portsea for the Polo for the very first time, and all I can say is - what a bonanza! Beautiful elaborate marquees, delicious food, thousands of cans of spray tan, meter upon meter of lace and of course a few horses & polo players. The crowd was at capacity and hungry for a fancy/get dressed up/get drunk all-day event - I mean it's been almost 3 months now since the races, these people are starving. Jokes. Although not really, because the Polo is everything you imagine it to be and more. The Melbourne Housewives are a real thing, Ralph Lauren is an unofficial fashion sponsor and there's lots of smalltalk over champagne and wasted finger food.
I was lucky enough to be hanging at the Jeep Marquee which aside from having the best crowd, also had the most amazing sweets cabinet by Burch & Purchase. Pastry Chef Darren Purchase recommended I try the Coconut, passionfruit, ginger & mint dessert in a tube and gees I'm thankful as it's probably one of the best things I've ever eaten. As Greek loving girl, naturally I was obsessed with the Peroni Marquee which had this Mediterranean white & blue thing going on, plus they had some excellent drinks going round and bartender Jamie Now from new Richmond Bar, The Ugly Duckling.
When it comes to fashion, it was a mixed bag really with the seasoned polo-goers nailing their looks while some girls got the wrong memo and thought they were headed CQ on a Saturday night. But generally speaking, white was the colour of the day and lace was the texture of the day, with both Zimmermann and Alice McCall dominating.
So all in all my first time at the Portsea Polo was awesome and with so much to shoot, how could I have not had a good time...

Santa Rosa, California (May 24, 2012) — In a groundbreaking study, Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP), a highly researched natural compound enhanced the anti-cancer effects of two poly-botanical formulas. When co-administered with formulas that attack breast and prostate cancer, MCP significantly increased their anti-cancer action, further reducing metastasis in highly invasive breast and prostate cancer cells. The study was led by researchers at the Cancer Research Laboratory at Indiana University Health and Indiana University School of Medicine, and published in the peer review journal Integrative Cancer Therapies.
"We asked a simple question of whether one plus one can equal more than two," said lead investigator Dr. Daniel Sliva, associate professor at the Indiana University School of Medicine. "We know that certain molecules in cancer cells are responsible for their aggressive behavior.
The synergistic effects seen in this study show that we can further suppress these molecules and significantly reduce the cancer cells' aggressiveness."
In the study, low concentrations of the anti-breast cancer formula decreased breast cancer cell adhesion to human fibronectin by 21 percent. However, when co-administered with Modified Citrus Pectin, researchers observed a 40 percent decrease.
In addition, the anti-prostate cancer formula, administered alone, decreased prostate cancer cell adhesion by 9 percent. When MCP was added, adhesion was suppressed by up to 40 percent.
The study also showed that cancer cell migration was also reduced by combining MCP with the prostate and breast formulas.
"This new study is particularly important because it demonstrates that when MCP is combined with either the prostate or breast formula, lower dosages provided more powerful synergistic anti-cancer effects than were observed when these supplements were studied on their own," said co-author and formulator, Dr. Isaac Eliaz.
It is especially important because of the recent poster presentation of the breast formula at AACR (American Association for Cancer Research), demonstrating its dramatic ability to decrease breast to lung metastasis in an orthotopic triple negative breast cancer animal model.
In addition to examining the aggressive behavior of breast and prostate cancer cells, researchers also assessed levels of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA), a protein secreted by cancer cells. High levels of uPA promote cell adhesion, migration and invasion, contributing to cancer
metastasis. As a result, uPA is used as a bio-marker for invasive cancer cells. Previous studies had shown that the poly-botanicals alone suppressed uPA expression. The current study shows that uPA secretion and cancer cell migration were further restricted when cancer cells were treated with the breast or prostate formulas combined with MCP.

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Plantation
PLANTATION (Lat. plantare, to plant), literally the placing of plants in the ground, hence a place planted or a collection of growing things, &c., particularly used of ground planted with young trees. The term was early applied, in figurative sense, to the settlement of people, and particularly to the colonization of North America in the early part of the 17th century and to the settlement of Scotch and English in the forfeited lands in Ireland (see below). The practice of sending convicted criminals to serve on the plantations in the colonies became common in the 17th century (see Deportation). These plantations were chiefly in the cotton, sugar and tobacco growing colonies, and the term "plantation" is thus particularly applied to estates in tropical or semi-tropical countries; the proprietors of such estates are specifically styled "planters."
The negroes on the plantations of the Southern States of North America sang their songs and hymns and danced to Plantation Songs. tunes which were traditional, and are frequently known as "Plantation Songs." It has been claimed for some of them that they represent the folk songs brought by the first slaves from Africa; but the more generally accepted view is that they were those European hymn and song tunes which the negroes picked up from the revivalist preachers or from the Europeans around them, and adapted to their own strongly marked rhythms, which are certainly of African origin. The earliest song which became familiar to those outside the Southern States was "Jim Crow," sung by Dan Rice, and introduced to England about 1836. The "Jubilee Singers," a troupe from Fisk University, Nashville, Tennessee, toured the United States and Europe in 1871, but the great popularity of the negro songs and dances, and the traditional instruments, the bones and tambourine (the banjo was not originally used by the genuine negro), was due to the so-called "negro minstrel" troupes, of which the best known in England were Christy's, whence the generic name of Christy Minstrels, and later of the Moore and Burgess troupe at St James's Hall, London, started in 1862 and finally dissolved in 1904.
The best collection of genuine "plantation songs" and their words is Slave Songs of the United States (New York, 1871); see also C. L. Edwards, Bahama Songs and Stories (Boston, 1895); J. B. T. Marsh, The Story of the Jubilee Singers (Boston, 1895); and articles by G. W Cable on "The Creole Slave Dance" and "Creole Slave Songs," in the Century, February and April 1886.
Plantation of Ulster.—The Irish rebellion, which had disturbed Ulster during the closing years of Elizabeth's reign, was followed under James I by further trouble, due partly to the inability of the English government to understand the system of land ownership prevalent in Ireland. At this time the chief offenders against the authority of England were the earls of Tyrconnell and Tyrone, but in September 1607 these once powerful nobles fled from the country. The English lawyers declared that the extensive estates which they held, not in their personal capacity, but as the heads respectively of the tribes of O'Neill and O'Donnell, had become the property of the English crown, and the problem which now confronted James I. and his advisers was what to do with the land, which was much too large to be cultivated properly by the scanty population living thereon. The idea of a plantation or colonization of Ulster, which was put forward as an answer to this question, is due mainly to Sir Arthur Chichester, the Irish lord deputy, its object was to secure the better cultivation of the land and to strengthen the English influence in Ulster by granting estates to English and Scottish settlers. Chichester proposed that the native inhabitants should be allowed to occupy as much land as they could cultivate, for he said, "that many of the natives in each county claim freehold in the lands they possess, and albeit these demands are not justifiable by law, yet it is hard and almost impossible to displant them." Even if this advice were carried out on a generous scale, the deputy considered that there would be abundance of land to offer to colonists, and also to reward the class of men known as servitors, those who had served the English king in Ireland. He submitted his ideas to Sir James Ley and Sir John Davies, two of the ministers of James I.; they reported to the English privy council, which signified its approval, and after the question had been illuminated by Bacon's great intellect, a committee was appointed to make the necessary arrangements. But those responsible for the plantation made one cardinal mistake, a mistake which was to cost the country much in the future. They rejected Chichester's idea of allotting land to the natives on a liberal scale, preferring to turn them out and to parcel out the whole of the forfeited district anew.
The forfeited lands lay in six counties, Tyrone, Donegal, Armagh, Fermanagh, Cavan and Coleraine (Londonderry), and the scheme for the plantation having been drawn up, the necessary survey began in May 1609. This was very inaccurate, but it served its purpose. The land was divided into three sections. One block was set apart for English and Scottish settlers, who were not to be allowed to have any Irish tenants; another was allotted to the servitors, who might have either English or Irish tenants; and a third was reserved for the Irish. Applications were then entertained from those willing to take up the land and under Chichester's direction the settlement was proceeded with. The land was divided into portions of 1000, 1500 and 2000 acres, each colonist undertaking in return for his grant to build a castle or a walled enclosure, and to keep, train and arm sufficient men for its defence. Moreover he must take the oath of supremacy to James, and must not alienate his estate to an Irishman. He was given two years in which to do the necessary building; during this period he was freed from paying rent, but afterwards he must pay a quit-rent to the Crown. A scale of rents was drawn up, the native Irish paying at a higher rate than the English and Scottish settlers. Out of the forfeited lands provision was made for the maintenance of churches and schools, which were to be erected in conformity with the scheme.
The work progressed very slowly and much of the building was not even begun within the required time. Then in 1611 James I., who had from the first taken a lively interest in the plantation, sent Lord Carew to report on it. Carew's inspection did not reveal a very favourable condition of affairs, and in 1615 Sir Josiah Bodley was sent to make a further report about the progress of the work. A third report and survey was made three years later by Nicholas Pynnar, who found in the six counties 1974 British families, with 6215 men capable of bearing arms. He said that even on the lands occupied by the colonists the cultivation of the soil was still very much neglected The words spoken by Bacon in 1617 with reference to the plantation had come true. "Take it from me," he said, "that the bane of a plantation is when the undertakers or planters make such haste to a little mechanical present profit, as disturbeth the whole frame and nobleness of the work for times to come." Another survey took place in 1622, when various changes were suggested, but no serious alterations were made. On the whole the plantation had been a failure. Very few of the settlers had carried out their undertaking. In many cases the Irish had remained on the land allotted to the colonists, living under exactly the same conditions as they had done before the plantation, and holding on "whether the legal landlords liked it or not." As actually carried out the plantation dealt with 511,465 acres. Two-fifths of this was assigned to British colonists, being divided about equally between Englishmen and Scotchmen. Rather more than one-fifth went to the Church and about the same amount to the servitors and the natives. The best settlers were the Scots, although their tendency to marry with the Irish was noted and condemned during the early years of the settlement.
An important part of the plantation was the settlement of the county of Coleraine by the corporation of the city of London. Receiving a grant of practically the whole of the county the corporation undertook to spend £20,000, and within two years to build 200 houses in Derry and 100 in Coleraine. This was the most successful part of the settlement, and to it Londonderry owes its present name.
The expulsion of the Irish from the land in which by law and custom they had a certain proprietary and hereditary right, although not carried out on the scale originally contemplated, naturally aroused great indignation among them. Attacks on the settlers were followed by reprisals, and the plantation may fairly be regarded as one of the causes which led to the terrible massacre in Ulster in 1641. During Elizabeth's reign a scheme for the plantation of Munster was considered, and under Charles I. there was a suggestion for the plantation of Connaught, but eventually both were abandoned.
The "Orders and Conditions of Plantation" are printed in Walter Harris's Hibernica (Dublin, 1770); and in George Hill's Historical Account of the Plantation in Ulster, 1608-1620 (Belfast, 1877). See also S. R. Gardiner, History of England (1899), vol. i.; and R. Bagwell, Ireland under the Stuarts (1909), vol. i.

Crime & Courts
New indictment links teen ISIS suspect in Morganton to murder of elderly neighbor
Suspected ISIS supporter Justin Sullivan robbed and murdered an elderly neighbor then planned to use the stolen money to buy an assault-style rifle to commit mass murder, a new federal indictment says.
Sullivan, 19, was arrested last June and is accused of plotting to kill up to 1,000 people in support of ISIS, an Islamic terrorist organization. A newly unsealed federal indictment against the Morganton man links him directly to the previously unsolved 2014 murder of John Bailey Clark, 74, a neighbor of Sullivan and his parents on Rose Carswell Road.
Clark was found in a shallow grave near his home. The indictment says Sullivan stole a gun from his stepfather, broke into his elderly neighbor's home and shot him three times in the head in December 2014.
"Justin Sullivan had elaborate plans to kill hundreds of innocent people to show his support for the terrorist organization, ISIL," said FBI Special Agent in Charge John Strong. "During the course of our investigation, evidence was uncovered linking Sullivan to John Bailey Clark's murder six months earlier."
According to court documents, federal authorities believe Clark's murder came after Sullivan had converted to Islam and began watching beheadings and other violent ISIS acts on the Internet. Around that same time, ISIS sent out a worldwide call for attacks against citizens and soldiers of any country involved in the U.S.-led coalition targeting the Islamic group.
The investigation started Sullivan after a 911 call in April 2015 from his parents who said their son was pouring gasoline over their religious items. "I don't know if it's ISIS or what, but he is destroying Buddhas and figurines and stuff," his stepfather said, according to earlier documents. "We're afraid to leave the house."
The investigation included using an undercover officer to connect with Sullivan and learn about his intent.
According to the new document, Sullivan referred to himself as "The Mujahid," or a guerrilla warrior in defense of Allah and Islam.
On or about Dec. 17 and 18, 2014, Sullivan was in possession of a stolen .22 caliber Marlin Model 60W rifle. Sullivan used the stolen firearm that day to murder his neighbor, 74-year-old John Bailey Clark in Clark's home, a few houses down ...
Federal indictment papers for Justin Sullivan
"Our attacks needs to be as big as possible," he told the undercover agent, according to court documents. "We can do minor assassinations before the big attack for training."
U.S. Attorney Jill Rose said Sullivan "pledged allegiance to ISIL, a designated foreign terrorist organization, and planned to carry out assassinations and mass shootings against innocent people."
First, Sullivan needed an assault rifle, which he planned to buy at a Hickory gun show, using $689 he stole from Clark, documents say. In the days leading up to the gun show, investigators say, Sullivan conspired with the undercover agent about attacking a concert, restaurant or some other venue to kill up to 1,000 people.
He was arrested June 19, the day before the gun show.
According to the new indictment, Rich and Eleanor Sullivan confronted their son that day, when a silencer he had ordered from the undercover FBI agent for his terrorist attack arrived in the mail. He hid it in the crawl space next to the stolen rifle and other items. Soon afterward, he offered the undercover agent money to kill his parents out of fear that they would disrupt his plans.
Justin Sullivan's parents could not be reached for comment on Monday.
After his arrest, FBI agents said they found a .22-caliber rifle, a black ski mask, muddy clothes and a lock pick kit in the crawl space of the Sullivan home. Documents indicate the FBI has seized a number of Sullivan's personal items, including computers, a journal, the money believed stolen from Clark and 18 books related to warfare and weapons.
The new indictment charges Sullivan with supporting a terrorist organization and various weapons and interstate commerce violations, lying to the FBI and using interstate facilities to plan the murder of his parents.
The federal charges do not include Clark's murder. That prosecution is being handled separately in state court. Burke County District Attorney David Learner told the Observer on Monday that Sullivan has now been indicted on a murder charge for Clark's death. Learner said his office is working with the U.S. Attorney's office on the case.
If convicted, Justin Sullivan could face the death penalty or life in prison without parole for the murder charge. The most serious federal charge – providing support for a foreign organization – could land him in prison for 20 years.
Sullivan is one of 56 U.S. citizens arrested on ISIS-related charges in 2015 – a record number stretching back to the Sept. 11 attacks, according to "ISIS in America," a study by a George Washington University team on domestic converts to the group.
News of the murder charges came as a surprise in the Sullivans' neighborhood, but also as a relief because Clark's suspected killer has been jailed.
Since the killing, neighbor Rob Denton told the Observer "everybody keeps their doors locked and their gun loaded."
Denton, 65, who lives next door to the Sullivans, said Justin Sullivan and the man he is accused of killing weren't chatty neighbors.
Clark didn't have a driver's license, Denton said, and would frequently walk down the street headed to the store.
Denton said he also saw a hoodie-clad Justin Sullivan walking the family's dog down the street. But other activities gave him pause.
"He had a shooting range set up in the backyard and he had pie pans set up as targets," said Denton, who said he'd occasionally watch Sullivan shoot from his rear window. "He took a BB gun and he'd move around to different positions and shoot (the pan) until he hit it, then he'd move and do it again. That disturbed me a lot."
Still, Benton said, target practice wasn't too uncommon for a Burke County teenager – Benton said he did it himself as a teen. And although Benton didn't have have many conversations with the teen, he had no reason to distrust Justin Sullivan because his parents were nice people.
"I didn't expect anything bad out of him," he said. "If he had come to the front door, we would have let him in."

The dental industry is a competitive one. As of 2016, the American Dental Association says there are at least 196,441 dentists in the United States alone. Those who live in dense areas will likely find their colleagues scrambling to get the business of the same clients.
That's why dentists compensate by building websites. But there lies another problem. When a site remains unoptimized for search engines, users will not find you in the search results page.
This is where dental SEO comes in. But rather than spending time doing it themselves, dentists choose to outsource the tasks at hand. Their focus, after all, should be on the patients and their practice.
Why do you need a dental SEO agency?
Why shouldn't you do it yourself, you ask? Having to learn SEO from scratch is a massive undertaking. It's a full-time job that requires an insane amount of resources. SEO agencies already have teams in place that have the expertise and experience to do the job right. The risks are reduced significantly.
Studies have shown that 75% of users will not go past page one of the search results. An SEO agency—especially one that primarily works with dentists—will be able to navigate you through the complicated road to the top.
There are also other areas where an agency could help. SEO is tied to user experience. Companies can look at your site and see what elements could be changed. Optimizing a site for mobile users requires knowledge of CSS and HTML. While that can be a problem for you, agencies are prepared to take on the challenge.
Building an in-house team to take care of online marketing can be expensive. An agency will save you time and money in the long run.
What makes a good dental SEO agency?
You can't treat your website like any other e-commerce site. Your SEO needs are different. Your practice is targeted. It's highly likely that you're working in a single location. Ranking for every dentist-related keyword, while ideal, is not necessary.
Agencies are familiar with the best SEO practices. This includes performing keyword research, creating content, making sites responsive, and fixing metadata issues. So long as you find an SEO company that knows how to do all these, you're golden.
So what elevates an average dental SEO company to a good one? That would be a company's experience in doing local SEO. Brandon Seymour of Search Engine Journal mentions three key reasons why local SEO matters:
- Google (and other search engines) factor in location data when displaying search results
- People tend to include cities, states, or regions when searching for businesses on the web
- Consumers are starting to trust smaller, local businesses over larger brands
You want an agency that understands these points. You want them to be able to optimize your site specific to each location you're targeting. If your clinics have multiple locations, your agency should be able to create separate web pages for each position.
Let's walk you through an example. When a user needs to find a dentist, that person would most likely type "dentist in (your city)" or a derivative of that query. If your website is optimized for local SEO, your name or clinic should pop up in the results. This would make it easier for customers to get all the details they need so they can reach out to you.
A good dental SEO agency should be able to present you a comprehensive plan on how they'll target specific communities.
An agency should also be able to look at your site and determine which steps to take to improve conversion. Any changes made in the name of better conversion rates means having more people reaching out to you. That translates to an increase in revenue.
User experience is just as important. When people go to your site, they need to be able to find what they're looking for as fast as possible. They don't need to be redirected to page after page of irrelevant information. An SEO agency should be able to tell you which pages to build and which ones should go.
Search engine optimization is an evolving field with trends changing in as fast as a couple of months. You need to be able to find an SEO company that's at least aware of the latest developments in their field. Also, be wary of any one-man team that claims to be able to do everything. It's highly unlikely that one person would be able to perform all the necessary tasks to improve your site.
Questions to ask dental SEO agencies
Moz.com released a list of questions to ask SEO agencies before you hire them and almost all of them are on point. Here are a few questions you could ask to gauge whether or not it's worth partnering up with them:
Can you itemize the services you intend to provide as part of the strategy?
You want the agency to list down all of the services they can offer you. If the company is giving you the runaround, you should reconsider working with them. You want a transparent company who could break down how they intend to use the money you're paying them.
There are other details you might want to inquire about. Like how many hours per month will they give you per service? Ask what technical aspects of the site are they auditing and fixing. If they're creating new landing pages, how many will they provide in a month? Having them answer these questions will give you a timeframe to work with.
How will you optimize our content?
Having original content is essential. That is why most SEO companies include content creation as part of the deal. But having unique content is one thing. You want high-quality content. Try to ask for previous works you examine to gauge if they are up to par. Ask how they plan to optimize your site through the content they'll produce.
How do you go about link building?
Having links to your site on other websites is a crucial component of SEO. This is referred to as link building. But not every link going to your site is good. They have to come from legitimate and credible sites. Unfortunately, some companies create links that are spammy. Google frowns upon this shady practice and would hand out penalties to websites that use this technique.
You should ask the agency how they do their link building. What kind of link building will they be doing? How many links should you expect in a month? Do they have a list of sites to contact for placement opportunities? What's their understanding of the latest Google updates? How do they define a quality backlink?
Walk away if their plan involves violating Google guidelines.
Can I meet the team assigned to my project?
You want to work with the best. That's why you want to meet with the team that you'll be working with. Interview them to see if they have the experience to do the task at hand. Throw them a question about their specializations. When presented with a team of interns, reconsider your position.
Do you currently work with any of our competitors?
While fairly obvious why they shouldn't accept contracts from competitors, some agencies tend to take jobs regardless. Find out if the agency works with other dentists in your area. Continue working with them if you're sure that it is not the case.
What do you know about our industry?
You need to know if they understand the industry you're in. Every industry's needs are different so you need to assess if they can work on updating a dentist website. This is even more important of they'll be making changes to your site content.
How much time will be required from you?
It's a good thing if the agency wants to get in touch with you on a regular basis. However, you do have a job of your own. If they require your constant attention, then working with the agency will do you more harm than good. The whole point, after all, is to have them do the work for you. Clarify from the get-go how much time you can commit on a weekly or monthly basis.
What sort of ranking increase can we expect?
This one is a trick question. There is no real answer to this question as there are multiple factors to consider. No reputable company will give you an exact answer. They will instead explain how they can get you on top of the search rankings based on their experience. If the agency guarantees you'll be number one for any related search queries, you're probably being taken for a ride.
How will you analyze campaigns and report on them?
Ask them how they plan on reporting progress to you. Learn what tools they'll be using and how often they plan on giving feedback. You need to stay on top of their development.
The best dental SEO agencies to choose from (so far)
We looked at five sites that ranked the best SEO agencies for dentists (10BestSEO, TopSEOs, UpCity, SEOCompaniesRanked, and Level10Solutions). Four names often came up during our search:

Example of excellent dental SEO campaigns
If you're still having doubts as to what a dental SEO agency can do for you, there are case studies available online. These studies discuss how dentists have seen an increase in business by having agencies implement SEO changes. Below is one case study by Patient Prospectors, a dental SEO agency.
The agency was tasked by Falls Park Dentistry determine how they could gain more clients. Up until 2014, the clinic's efforts had been limited to traditional marketing including Yellow Pages listing which just doesn't work these days.
The agency did an audit and saw multiple site issues. The clinic's phone number was not displayed prominently. The names of the doctors and services offered were nowhere to be seen. When they tried to view the site from a mobile device, they were unable to navigate. That was when the agency decided to create a new website.
After the site redesign, an SEO team stepped in and focused on content creation. Efforts were made to build backlinks so that search engines could rank the new site. All of this resulted in the following:
- New Website is Converting More Visitors to New Patients
- 19 high-value keywords on page one of Google
- 11 high-value keywords on page one of Yahoo
- 16 high-value keywords on page one of Bing
- Increased Website Traffic by 89%
- Increased Phone Calls by 70%
- Generated Over 100 Positive Reviews
You can access the full version of the dental marketing case study here.
Dentists have a lot of competition out there, but with a dental SEO agency, you'll have some advantage over your colleagues. SEO takes up a lot of time and training. So why not hire an agency who would do all the work for you?
Find the right agency by following the guidelines above. Let them take care of online marketing so you can concentrate on bringing smiles to your customers' faces.

Social events are a good opportunity to bring a community together and to get to know people with whom you might not have enough time to interact due to academic responsibilities. Thus, GRASP, in an effort to strengthen relationships between the GTAs in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, has decided to organise Kickbackeando, a monthly social gathering taking place in different locations around Lawrence. The nicest thing about Kickbackeando is that every GTA has a say in the decision-making process. At the beginning of each term, GRASP will send an electronic poll with 10-15 prospective places to hold 4 get-togethers. The results will be tallied and afterwards, exact dates and places will be announced in due time via e-mail. Attendees will be responsible for purchasing their own food and drinks.
Kickbackeando was born from the ever-hilarious Talent Show, a yearly instance where the members of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese displayed their talents in different areas in front of an embarrassed audience.
Here's what people have to say:
"My favorite part of the Talent Show is the fact that we get to see and express ourselves in ways that are not related to our everyday work. We all read and write a lot, duh! But in the Talent Show students AND faculty get to perform in front of the Department showcasing their hidden talents. It is a great event to bond as a department, both among students and faculty. I look forward to the Talent Show every year and I hope it continues to be put on by GRASP in years to come." – Andrés Ravinovich

Munich Airport: New Satellite Terminal Sets Standards
High Efficiency Heating, Cooling and Lighting Systems
München and Frankfurt, December 16, 2015: April 2016 sees the opening of the new satellite terminal at Munich Airport, with which the airport will gain a passenger terminal that sets new environmental and energy efficiency standards. The very latest building materials and innovative heating, cooling and lighting technologies will ensure that energy usage is reduced to a minimal level: CO2 emissions generated by the building will be 40% lower than those emitted by the airport's existing terminal buildings. Contributing to this reduction are the "climate façades", found on the longitudinal sides of the building, which enable passengers (via escalators) to change between the building's three passenger levels. These 4.5-metre-wide spaces separate the heated or cooled building proper from the open air and act as an accessible climate buffer. The façade is made of a newly-developed type of glass which allows daylight through, but which – by means of a special coating – keeps out solar radiation, including heat.
The heating and cooling of the satellite terminal is achieved by use of the airport's heating and cooling systems, the necessary energy being generated by the airport's own CHP (combined heat and power) plant, recently renovated with expanded capacity. With this, the airport produces around 60% of the power it needs. The resulting waste heat is used for heating at cold times of the year and for cooling in summer, after being converted in an absorption refrigeration unit.
Primarily, heating and cooling of the satellite terminal building is via underfloor conduits. Ventilation occurs via displacement ventilation technology and – the external temperature permitting – naturally, via special openings in the building. The use of an innovative lighting concept – LED lamps – also offers further energy-saving potential: these lamps can be individually dimmed in accordance with lighting requirements and are laid out in such a way as to have the optimal effect.
Climate protection in the satellite terminal does not stop at the outer walls: all aircraft positions will be equipped from the start with so-called "Pre-Conditioned Air Units" (PCA), via which Lufthansa and its partners' aircraft can be heated via the airport's heating network or cooled in the summer via the building's own air conditioning system. The use of the aircraft's own kerosene-powered auxiliary power unit is therefore superfluous, leading to a reduction in noise as well as of CO2 emissions.
The new satellite terminal is a joint project between Flughafen München GmbH and Deutsche Lufthansa AG. FMG and Lufthansa already operate Terminal 2 together and are reacting to the increase in passenger numbers with these expansion plans for Munich Airport. The architect and general planner of the new building is the Munich office of Koch + Partner, who are also responsible for Terminal 2. With the new, 600-metre-long satellite terminal building, both Lufthansa and Munich Airport gain the capacity to manage eleven million passengers per annum. On top of this, it is much more convenient for passengers, with 27 aircraft positions close to the building, eliminating the need for cross-apron bus journeys.

Whoever has so far doubted the skill of cordless tools for hammer drilling will finally see reason, as the new PHDS 11-20V cordless hammer drill demonstrates the enormous power that hides in a 20 volt premium battery. Thanks to its versatile performance, our new professional tool is the universal solution for practically all drilling or screwing work in the house, garden or garage – from loft conversions and wall cupboard assembly to kitchen fitting.
Whether it be demanding hammer drilling in hard brickwork or smooth drilling in delicate softwood, the PHDS 11-20V effortlessly drills and screws with a maximum torque of 40 Nm and a frequency of up to 26,400 min-1 in wood, metal, brickwork and concrete. Its robust 2-speed metal gears and its continuously variable speed control allow for force adjustment at any time, whenever you require. In this respect, the 20 torque settings, plus a drilling setting and an additional hammer drilling setting, make the PHDS 11-20V the master of versatility for all your applications.
How it works
PHDS 11-20V is powered by an impressive 20 V Flexpower series replaceable battery. Thanks to its lithium ion technology, the battery has no memory-effect and no self-drain and it can be recharged within an hour using the quick charger that comes with the device. In addition, the battery ensures a long device life with its charging capacity of 2 Ah.
Furthermore, the quick-action drill chuck allows you to quickly change screw or drill attachments, while at the same time the automatic spindle lock offers greater safety thanks to higher tool clamping forces. You can use all conventional screwdriver bits, bit holders and drill bits with a shaft diameter of up to 13 mm.
Even when it comes to occupational safety, no-one can get one over on our new cordless hammer drill: it is equipped with a quickstop-overrun brake and power-on lock which prevents it from being switched on accidentally. The additional handle that comes with the device can be variably mounted on the left-hand and right-hand side, ensuring accurate drill guidance. The long-lasting PHDS 11-20V always ensures a secure grip for effortless use over long periods thanks to its ergonomic design with an optimised centre of gravity and soft-grip inlays. And an integrated LED light ensures you will always have a clear, well-lit view of your work area even where there is no space for a work light. The cordless hammer drill can also be attached and carried using the supplied belt clip for faster access.
Four of the numerous advantages that I particularly like:
- the strong, 20 V lithium ion battery – with no memory-effect and no self-drain
- the Flexpower multi battery – which can be flexibly combined even with other cordless tools
- the powerful motor with 2-speed gears
- the 20 torque settings plus drilling setting and additional hammer drilling setting.
