For Matchchat founder James Routledge taking advice from those with more experience and knowledge than himself has always been key to the way he does business. Along with three university friends, he set up his football discussion platform business aged just 20. Putting his studies on hold to enter the fast-moving world of tech startups, he sought all the advice and mentoring he could.
"Mentoring has been a constant really. We always knew we were by no means expert, so straightaway we reached out to anyone with more experience than us and talked through our problems and we have kept on doing that."
He began by using LinkedIn to find entrepreneurs with experience whom he could talk to. This led him to the Ignite100 accelerator programme, where young tech entrepreneurs take part in a 12-week programme and emerge investment ready. This was a crucial period for Matchchat and it restructured its business model as a result.
Initially, it envisaged users downloading its app and using it to chat with other users during a game. However, the mentors on the programme advised going to where users already were – football news site publishers – and embedding into their platforms.
"If you meet five people who you really respect and they tell you to change your product then you start to take that on board. We started with a second stream app where consumers would download the app and use it while watching sport. But a lot of the feedback questioned how we were going to get our users to make the download to begin with and that might prove to be difficult."
Routledge urges other entrepreneurs follow his example and shamelessly seek out those who can help them. "You've got to hustle at the end of the day. Nobody knows everything and there are people out there who have more experience than you and who have been through challenges before. It's a lot easier to find someone on LinkedIn than spending three months trying to work it out."
As a result of the Ignite programme, Matchchat brought experienced sports entrepreneur Gerry Boon onto its board. Routledge says the impact of working with experienced advisers has transformed the business and helped them rework their entire business model.
"If we face a business challenge the first thing we say is who can we talk to. Often, this is through informal advisers and also through our non-executive chairman. I can safely say we wouldn't be where we are today without constant mentoring."
But mentoring isn't just for youngsters running startups, it is increasingly being recognised as a way to succeed by experienced business people. Steve Lindsey is the CEO and founder of Lontra, which has created a new form of air compression technology and has ambitious plans for its roll-out. He believes Lontra's technology has many applications and the potential for numerous licensing deals with major companies.
The Midlands-based business has signed deals with water company Severn Trent and Swiss-manufacturing giant Sulzer. It now plans to rapidly scale-up its activities and create many more agreements with big business. Early on Lindsey realised that, despite having a significant amount of business experience himself, he needed help to guide him through the complex world of IP, licensing and international expansion.
"Our ambition from the beginning was always to grow the company into a big company, not necessarily in terms of people, but in terms of revenue," Lindsey says. "So right from the beginning we had a plan to recruit people who had experience of big businesses. Our board was top-heavy. We were a startup but we had a board which could run a big business."
Since founding in 2004, Lontra has been through a considerable amount of development; taking on institutional funding, patenting technology and forging licensing deals with major businesses. Lindsey's chief mentor through this development was Peter Watson, the former CEO of the Atomic Energy Authority, who is now the company's executive chairman. Lontra employed a headhunter to find board members and the "stand-out person" was Watson.
"Having someone as heavyweight and experienced as that was very useful. For a licensing deal we really needed someone who understood the pitfalls and so Peter really was invaluable. From the commercial side he's done it all before. Also he has a large network and that's one of the things with mentors, you also get the people they know too. It's great to have someone with both experience and who also knows who to ask."
Entrepreneurs often reach a point in their business development when they have to step out of their comfort zones. This is often when they are expanding the business and hiring new talent or moving into new markets where they lack experience. This is when mentors such as David Carter get involved with them and as he puts it "takes them to, through and out the other side."
He has been working as a professional mentor for nearly 20 years. Prior to that, he had worked at corporate businesses, private equity and then established and sold businesses in his own right. "There isn't much that a CEO wants to talk about that I haven't had direct experience of," he says.
Carter believes that the most successful companies are those with the best leaders. He says this is what drew him into working as a mentor. "I was fascinated why one company was outperforming another and the answer was leadership and culture," he says.
Leaders need a degree of humility, he suggests, so they can take advice and allow those with more talent than themselves to have a say. "They are all hardworking and ambitious people but who are humble enough to know that they might need to talk to someone about strategy or technology or how to organise their senior management team. They realise that they need to hire great people into their team, some of whom will have bigger and better ideas than they do," Carter says.
For many entrepreneurs working with a mentor is as much about personal development, as it is the business development. As the business changes as does the person running it. "Entrepreneurs launch businesses, then as the business grows they become managers, but they need to become leaders," adds Carter.

Since the dawn of time, man's curious eyes scanned the earth's grotesque landscapes in search of food, resources, and shelter. Today, most societies have a less primal edge, but some people have taken to the sport of hiking or bird watching for fun. This is when a pair of binoculars come in handy.
While hiking a windswept canyon in Utah, imagine the types of colorful wildlife that could bless your eyes. If only you could step close enough without that spirited bald eagle taking flight just as you come within better view of it. Binoculars let you scout the environment without disturbing it. Here are some effective tips on how to buy the perfect binoculars.
What to Look for When Buying Binoculars
1. The Optic Quality Matters
Whenever you look around at the price tag, you will see an astronomical price difference from $30 to $3,000. The optics quality serves a key role in the price difference and the coating applied to the lenses. For example, you might have bought binoculars with a fog proof feature. This feature means the air inside the optical barrels were replaced with inert gas so that moisture can't condense and fog up your optics.
2. Know the Size Differences
Understanding binoculars, you have to know how binocular sizes vary based on purpose. Full-size binoculars, for example, will have the specs 8 x 42 or 10 x 50. Choose this size when you have a raw fascination with wildlife, or you want to catch a glimpse at some of the creatures closer to water. 8 x 42 and 10 x 50 normally performs well in low-light conditions, and you can glimpse wildlife with a wider field of view.
Put this size in your arsenal if you want to go bird watching. However, you should choose the compact 8 x 25 or 10 x 25 if you want binoculars for extended periods out in the wilderness. Backpackers will happily add this tool to their collection without cursing it later. Finally, you have 7 x 35 and 10 x 32. This mid-size choice works on a more balanced scale, and it boasts an above average light transmission for your viewing pleasure.
3. Spotting Scope vs Binoculars
Advantages of the Spotting Scope
In decades' past, spotting scopes were used for the sole purpose of hunting and long range shooting. This precise mini-telescope handed users a clear picture from hundreds of yards away. In fact, you can spot hidden bird movement from between 200 to 300 yards away. The chief advantage of a spotting scope is how it lets your eyes take in the sights of a timid crane or a playful goldfinch from a friendlier distance.
Advantages of Binoculars
On the other hand, binoculars lend you ease of use. You have nothing to figure out except putting your corneas to the lenses and sneaking a close-up view of that majestic bald eagle in its natural habitat. Instead of saying one tool makes more sense over the other, you can bring along a spotting scope in conjunction with binoculars as a more specialized tool for bird watching.
4. Look at the Differences Between the Porro Prism Binoculars and Roof Prisms
Generally, Porro prism binoculars will always cost less than roof prisms. Even despite differences, the Porro model will have the same comparable quality as the roof prism. Both styles accomplish the same target, but the optical path will take a different route for one. Another advantage of Porro prisms is how they will normally have a more compact style. The result turns into something that feels more comfortable to hold for a longer glassing session.
5. Eye Relief Important for Long-Term Use
Never underestimate the value of installing good eyecups. They will usually be adjustable, and they often fold back to let you place your lenses closer to the ocular lenses. Especially for those who wear glasses, the lenses position themselves in a way where you have an eye relief distance.
A lot of times, you will discover how binoculars use a dioptric adjustment for the eyepieces, which lets you fine-tune the focusing system. Many times, you can adjust eyecups to let multiple users feel comfortable while using them.
6. Use a Binocular App
Some binocular apps let you zoom in 30x. Because of such an app, you don't have to carry a huge pair of binoculars, and you can see great photos with a little appearance. Sometimes these apps will give you even more than you expected.
For example, you have a photo camera, a flashlight, a white balance selector and a front and rear camera. Normally, these apps are best recommended for cameras that have higher than eight megapixels because the detail looks foggy otherwise.
Bottom Line
While on a hike or bird watching, binoculars can deepen your enjoyment of the great outdoors. They become an invaluable tool. When you have binoculars, you can see what you would have otherwise missed. No matter what you plan to buy, you should first decide on why you want to buy them. Do you own a set of binoculars? What standards did you use for qualifying and disqualifying different pairs?

To be fair this isn't really spearfishing as the sport would define itself – however, all spearos have caught fish this way so it deserves a mention, plus it's a great way to get accustomed to being in the ocean. So you want to be fairly shallow between about 2 and 5 metres and go exploring the coast line. Try to find some kelpy areas as these tend to be the areas that hold fish. Traditionally in the shallower water you will see infant fish and sand eels. Keep an eye out for sandy breaks between the shallow sea weed as that's where you just might find a fat bass sleeping off his latest meal. If you find one, remember it's a tricky downwards shoot. Aim with one hand not two; don't take too much time and shoot.
Bass come right into the shallows chasing sand eels and prawns and sometimes shoal right past you. There is no sweeter sight than this. Be quick and don't mince around, it's easy to get distracted trying to spot the biggest ones and then in a blink they have all gone. You get left cursing yourself empty handed wishing you had just tagged that easy 2 pounder instead of getting greedy. If the shoal is dense then it's not unheard of to grab a '2 for 1' meal deal and shoot 2 in 1 shot.
You may also find grey mullet right on the top of surface feeding on some tasty floating 'matter' of unknown origin. Again be quick with your shot because they won't come back for a second look at you.
Overall that's about as far as surface hunting goes, it's more pot luck than anything. However you can use this technique to find suitably fishy, kelpy areas to ambush in.

The Car
I look at cars rushing up and down the main roads and I see the downfall of all of us.
This machine, more than any, epitomises small mindedness.
The small mindedness which makes us think only of the benefits towards us and our immediate family.
The small mindedness which is turning the social into a void from where a few walking figures are but remnants of a forgotten world, continuously fading from our memories – leaving a void in which the perverse and soul-sucking social-networking-site is growing like an enticing but poisonous ivy, chaining us into our box rooms.
The car is the first object from which my anger has to be restrained when the world ignores my cries for fairness.
The car is the object which has detached us from reality more than anything in the past 100 years, yet inside these hi-tech metal cans I see human beings behaving in the most primordial manner.
The car, like the cell phone, like the internet, like capital, is what we are told we cannot live without.
The car is an object, amongst others, which is symbolic of increases in isolation, mental illness, selfish behaviour, environmental destruction, and the triumphalism of right-wing attitudes.
The car is symbolic of the inherent fascism in society
"drive alone and drive with Hitler" I read in a college library book in my earlier, more naive years. And now as I wait and wait in the unforgiving November darkness, relying on the one street lamp to highlight my hand waving for a rarity known as a bus, amidst the violence and light and noise of a sea of cars, the line feels truer than ever.

Buck Creek State Park is teeming with so many cats and other wildlife that park officials have posted signs and beefed up patrols to warn people not to feed the animals.
But a local resident, along with members of the Cat Alliance Located in Central Ohio, are concerned about the welfare of abandoned and feral cats in the park that some members have cared for and fed for years.
"I say we will stop feeding them when they start keeping people from dropping animals off at the park. I believe they're not doing their job in the best manner," said Doug Wamer of Springfield. "I don't think they have the right to say something to someone who is genuinely concerned about the welfare of these animals."
Brad Copeland, central district law enforcement supervisor for the parks, said it's illegal to feed animals or transport and drop off animals at state parks.
Violators can be charged with a misdemeanor and face fines, Copeland said.
"By no means do the state parks want to be cruel to these animals, but by removing the food, that's going to cause these animals to move on," Copeland said.
Wamer said he's rescued three cats and frequently visits at least 13 cats at Buck Creek.
He said members of CALICO have spayed and neutered animals in the park and taken some to receive medical care.
Clark County Humane Society Director Jimmy Straley said feral cats are a big problem in Clark County and "open feeding" only makes the issue worse.
"You're creating a breeding ground," Straley said. "When you drop food, it's going to attract anything that's hungry: skunks, coyotes, wildlife."
Straley said the humane society does not have the funding to spay and neuter every stray animal, and those who ignore laws against feeding them are a big part of the problem.
"The cat problem is something that cannot be solved tomorrow. We do as much as we can, but unfortunately people continue to feed them. They don't realize that they're contributing to the problem and that they're not helping these cats," Straley said.
Wamer said he agrees that feeding the cats attracts raccoons and other wildlife and is concerned those animals could scare or harm children who visit the park.
But he said he wants park officials to do more to reduce litter and stop those who abandon animals in the park.
"I don't think it's fair to enforce laws in regards to feeding them when they're not enforcing laws about bringing pets into the parks and leaving them," Wamer said. "They will start to starve to death, and they'll get weak and sick. Since these pets are already there, let them live their lives out normally."
Copeland said officials have stepped up patrols in the park and said violators will be cited.

Following four intense rounds of regional heats, culminating in the London and South West heat on Wednesday, the six Bacardi Legacy Cocktail Competition UK finalists have been announced.
Will Meredith from Dandelyan, Dominic Whisson from The American Bar at the Savoy and Robb Collins from London Cocktail Club will join Christopher McQuillan from Oliver's Restaurant in Belfast, Leon Back from Panda & Sons in Edinburgh and Oliver Pluck from Epicurus in Leeds to compete for the title of UK champion.
Challenging bartenders to create a 'legacy' cocktail with the potential to establish itself as a classic, the Northern European final will take place in Amsterdam in November.
'Bacardi Legacy has been running for 10 years and we've seen a lot of drinks! So the hardest part of this competition is finding something truly different and that is what all finalists have presented,' said Metinee Kongsrivilai, UK brand ambassador for Bacardi rums.
'The inspiration behind their drinks were personal and unique, incorporating elements not just from their personal lives but also from today's bartending culture. Their drinks were creative, forward thinking and delicious. They are not only replicable in their own bars but have the potential to be replicated at bars all over the world. This is what Legacy is about.'
Runners-up from each heat were:
Ryan O'Kane from The National Grand Café (Belfast)
Bettina Kovacs from The Bon Vivant (Edinburgh)

Opiate addiction has been causing problems all over the world. The increasing number of cases for Opiate addiction has been alarming for the US government, and thus they have labeled it as the Opiate crisis.
In this regard, the U.S. government is trying every possible measure to get rid of this crisis. The governmental, as well as non-governmental agencies related to public health, have joined hands in this venture to eradicate this crisis.
With a lot of research going on, on different drugs combat Opiate addiction, one cannot possibly deny the existence of CBD Cannabis and Kratom.
The FDA may not approve this substance at the moment, but it is the requirement of time to consider them as possible options in the reduction of Opiate addiction rates.
What Is The Role of Kratom in Reducing Opiate Addiction?
We are well aware of the fact that Kratom acts on Opiate receptors in the brain. The Opiate receptors come in 3 forms, mu, delta and kappa.
Kratom acts on all three types of receptors. But there is a difference in the actions produced by Kratom and by Opiates.
Opiates cause addiction. They create dependence and quick development of tolerance. On the other hand, Kratom doesn't cause any addiction.
Kratom reduces Opiate addiction by easing the Opiate withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms are so intense that the person is bound to revert to Opiate addiction.
The Opiate withdrawal symptoms include anxiety, mood swings, pain etc. These symptoms are dealt with by Kratom without causing addiction.
Throughout Malaysia, the Kratom tea made from crushed leaves are traditionally used to reduce opiate withdrawal or pain. But, in the US the Kratom is sold and consumed in the form of powder, capsules, extracts, tinctures, and even energy drinks.
On YouTube, FB groups, and online forums like Bluelight or Reddit, there are thousands of positive reviews about Kratom for opiate withdrawal.
According to a study of a 43-year-old man published in 2008 by the Edward W. Boyer and co-researchers, the man has managed opioid withdrawal with Kratom purchased from online vendors. The Man claims that Kratom doesn't produce any adverse effects as someone usually experience with opioid use.
Christopher McCurdy, a medicinal chemist and an internationally recognized expert on Kratom, investigates that two essential alkaloids mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine bond to the body's opioid receptors just like opioids but they aren't much potent like prescription opioids.
McCurdy conducted an experiment with his colleagues where they have repeatedly dosed the mice with morphine. The study on mice revealed that the extracts of pure mitragynine doesn't cause any side-effects and have completely blocked the morphine withdrawal symptoms.
McCurdy studies also indicate that the Kratom plant has very low abuse potential and doesn't slow breathing or create respiratory depression.
What Is The Role Of CBD Cannabis In The Reduction Of Opiate Addiction?
CBD Cannabis basically acts on these receptors to reduce Opiate addiction;
- Cannabinoid receptor
- Dopamine receptor
- Opioid receptor
- Serotonin receptor
CBD Cannabis is an important option when it comes to Opiate addiction treatment. When CBD reacts with cannabinoid receptors, it helps in reduction of the craving for Opiates.
It also directly interacts with Opioid receptors and help in the management of pain and anxiety. When it reacts with Dopamine receptors, it helps in fighting Opiate addiction and acts as an antidepressant by releasing large amounts of dopamine.
It also acts directly with the serotonin receptors and helps in reducing Opiate addiction, anxiety as well as depression.
This action is brought about by inducing the release of large quantities of serotonin, which along with dopamine activates the reward and pleasure centre of the brain.
CBD's interaction with the serotonin receptors blocks the reward-seeking effects of Opiates, so the craving for Opiates is eventually reduced.
Researchers are conducting studies to add CBD cannabis into the 'opioid exit-treatment list' as many theories about the efficacy of CBD cannabis are circulating. One such theory is laid down by Blue Door Therapeutics in Scottsdale.
The doctors say that CBD Cannabis has helped patients by relieving their nausea and many other opioid withdrawal symptoms by blocking the effects of opiates on the brain receptors.
What Is The Role Of CBD Hemp In The Reduction Of Opiate Addiction?
CBD derived from hemp doesn't contain the entire range of cannabinoids in it thus for Opiate reduction it is mildly helpful. It can only give the taste of CBD Cannabis to those persons who can't obtain CBD Cannabis due to legal regulations.
CBD hemp can mildly reduce the craving and withdrawal symptoms of Opiate addiction. It can relieve pain and anxiety to some extent but to experience full effects, CBD Cannabis is the choice of substance for Opiate reduction.
User Reviews About CBD Cannabis
Mandile tells his story in a blog. He says that back then in 2012 he used to sleep only 2 hours a day and would wait desperately for his next dose of Opiates.
He found out that a substance known as CBD cannabis could help him with this condition. He narrated that he got addicted to Opiates because he was using them for pain management.
The pain was there due to injuries inflicted during a motor collision in the Iraq war. Being a military person, he had to get back to work quickly, but with this amount of pain and injuries he couldn't. This made him depressed. He was just 28.
He started taking Opiates and then his life was even more ruined. He recounts "I was a Zombie." This was when Mandile decided to take CBD to get rid of the Opiate addiction.
He heard that CBD cannabis has promising effects and it reduces Opiate addiction substantially, at the same time managing symptoms like pain and depression.
Clinical Studies About CBD Cannabis
In one double-blind placebo-controlled trial, CBD was administered to patients with Opiate addiction, and the results were terrific. It was well-tolerated and without any side effects.
Many other similar studies conducted in which the effects of CBD were measured.
A study was conducted in 2016 which surveyed the use of medical cannabis in 244 patients in Michigan. The use of medical cannabis was related to an overall 64 percent decrease in the use of Opiates and a 45 percent improvement in the quality of life was observed.
This means Cannabis is a safe hub when it comes to using it for Opiate withdrawal.
A similar study was conducted in Israel the same year which showed amazing results. 44 percent patients out of 176 Opiate addicts were able to discontinue the use of Opiates after using Cannabis therapy for 7 months.
Why Should One Go For Kratom And CBD Cannabis?
We all are aware of the fact that so far Kratom has not produced any fatality, same is the case with CBD.
Most of the other drugs present in the market have severe adverse effects, and they cannot be treated.
Most of all, Kratom and CBD do not cause addiction and produces very low tolerance or even no tolerance. Both substances are entirely safe if taken in the right dose and not mixed with other substances.
How Can Kratom And CBD Cannabis Be Used?
Kratom can be taken in the form of powder, tablet, capsule, drink or even vaped but the best way is to use it in powder form.
The extracts and tinctures are usually not recommended for alleviating Opiate addiction. CBD can be taken in the form of vapers, tinctures, BHO, RSO and topical solution.
What Is The Stance Of FDA About Kratom And CBD Cannabis?
FDA isn't pleased with the idea of Kratom for Opiate withdrawal, because the research done on Kratom is too less.
However, many governmental organizations and public health agencies are inclined towards the use of CBD for Opiate withdrawal which is also making the FDA think about approving it for medication.
Kratom and CBD Cannabis are effective options for treating Opioid addiction.
They act by;
- Reducing addiction to Opiates
- Preventing relapse from occurring
- Reducing cravings for Opiates
- Effectively treat the withdrawal symptoms
- Improves mood
- Enhances body energy levels
- Reduces fatigue, anxiety, stress, and depression
- Cannabis and Kratom are considered as spirit medicine
These two substances do not cause any significant side effects and can help with Opiate addiction. The government is urged to legalize these substances so that they can be easily made available and their use is regulated.
Also, it is recommended to promote more research about these substances to get to know their full potential.

ANGOLA, Ind. – The regular season ended for the Adrian College baseball team (28-12, 20-8) on Friday with a disheartening split at Trine University. Adrian claimed a 5-1 win in Game 1 behind a complete-game win by junior Holden Branch and a five-run sixth inning. The Bulldogs led 6-3 in the nightcap before allowing six runs in the bottom of the fifth and eventually falling 9-6.
The Bulldogs did not record a hit in Game 1 until a one-out double by Sam Fischer in the top of the fourth. Branch and Phil Stakely were locked in a duel through five innings before the Bulldogs broken through with five runs in the sixth. Trine was hurt badly by seven errors in Game 1 with three of those coming from Stakely. The Thunder committed two errors in the sixth which led to four unearned runs. Stakely exited the game after a failed pickoff attempt and Nick Cocanower finished the inning on the mound.
Trine broke up the shutout in the seventh as Devin Copple had a RBI on a fielder's choice. Branch tossed seven innings and allowed six hits with a walk and four strikeouts. He won his six straight decision to improve to 6-1 this season with a 1.20 ERA. Dan Heatherly had a two-RBI single in the sixth and Anthony Sergi also had a RBI single.
The Bulldogs left themselves scoreboard watching after a Game 2 loss. Adrian needed a little help from Calvin College as they played Hope College in a twilight doubleheader to earn at least a share of the MIAA regular season crown. Despite Adrian's 9-6 defeat, Calvin split with Hope winning Game 2 by the final score of 8-1. That win means that Adrian will at least share the title and could win it outright for the fifth straight season if Calvin can win one more game in Saturday's doubleheader at Hope.
Eric Schmidt held it together on the mound after giving up three runs after two innings. Schmidt stayed in the game heading into the bottom of the fifth with a 6-3 lead after the Bulldogs scored four times in the top of the fifth. He gave up a leadoff single to Matt Zurbriggen and was replaced by Cory Fox. Fox gave up a double to Tom Wilder and walked two guys including a bases-loaded walk to R.J. Flowers. Tommy Eng relieved Fox but did not close out the inning. He allowed a RBI single to Andrew DeGood and Zurbriggen and was also hurt by an error by Ben Yax. Lucas Willitzer was called on to stop the bleeding and he gave up an infield single to Wilder before getting Carter Stafford to pop out to end the inning.
Adrian left two runners on base in the sixth as Cocanower made a relief appearance for the fourth straight game in the series. He walked Sergi on four pitches and after two outs did the same with a five-pitch walk to Mitch Stefanski. Cocanower induced a groundout back to him to end the threat. Adrian put one man on base in the seventh after Jeff Gertley walked with two outs but Andrew DeLuca flied out to center to end the game.
Jakeb Briscoe got the win in relief for the Thunder improving to 3-3. Fox absorbed the loss falling to 4-2 as he recorded one out while facing five batters. Heatherly went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs in Game 2. R.J. Rios had three RBI's and went 2-for-3 with two runs scored. Fischer drew two walks and also had a hit in two at-bats. Heatherly went 6-for-14 (.429) in the four-game series versus the Thunder. Adrian batters also walked 18 times in the series and had a .382 on-base percentage. Both teams had identical 3.00 ERA numbers in the series and could very well square off again on Wednesday, May 8 in the opening game of the conference tournament. Trine has two more conference games against Kalamazoo on Sunday and will likely finish third in the MIAA.

Love these -- the clock tower has beautiful color, and the lines image is fantastic. And the crystal knob with the pink door is dreamy -- do you have any closeups of that?ReplyDelete
No, I didn't get a close-up. I should have, just like I should have taken my lensbaby out a few times. But at 8-9 deg F, I don't think my hands wanted to get out from my gloves and blocked my brain from any such thoughts like changing lens :).ReplyDelete
You are dedicated to get out there in 8 degrees! These are beautiful. Love the lights in the Courthouse.ReplyDelete

Dross, the Scourge of the Wave Solder Machine
Dross in a wave solder machine is generated by two actions.
1). The formation of the oxide layer that covers the surface of the solder pot when it is exposed to the air.
2). The falling solder that breaks up the oxide layer, forcing oxide particles down into the body of the solder.
The broken oxide particles become wetted with solder and float to the surface forming the thick silvery slush we call "dross". This is more than 90% clean solder and in the early days of wave soldering we pressed dross in a perforated spoon to force the free solder out and and returned it to the pot. Now there are machines that will do this and they can salvage a high percentage of the solder. Similarly the use of a "dross reducing agent" which is sprinkled over and mixed into the dross will return much of the free solder to the pot, leaving only a small amount of gray oxide floating on the surface which can easily be removed.
There is a common belief that contaminants in the solder increase the rate of dross production. This is a complex subject but at the temperatures normally used in wave soldering, (around 260C) and the degree of contaminants normally found in a wave solder machine, they have little or no effect. In fact of the 8 most common contaminants, small amounts of six of these, actually reduce the amount of dross formed. The addition of Phosphorus to the solder will reduce the amount of dross produced, and is the addition found in many "low dross" solders. However excessive amounts of Phosphorus can cause grittiness in the joints and dewetting, and it is generally not a recommended additive. The degree of turbulence in the wave is the prime factor in determining the rate of dross production and everything should be done to maintain this to a minimum.
A) Set the wave height as low as possible.
B) Keep the solder level in the pot as high as possible.
C) See that any "solder chutes" or guide plates in the pot are adjusted correctly.
D) Make sure there are no cracks of missing screws in the nozzle.
If the the oxide on the solder surface can be eliminated so is the formation of dross. In practice there are only two ways to achieve this.
- Maintain a layer of tinning oil on the solder surface. This will have to be replaced routinely, about every 40 operating hours, and many users find this increases the amount of maintenance on the pot. Some of the oil may find it's way onto the PWBs which can be a problem if soldering with the No Clean process.
- The use of a nitrogen blanket over the entire solder surface, is probably the most practical method of eliminating dross. Many users claim that the reduction in maintenance and the lower solder consumption pays for the cost of the nitrogen. In addition it permits a reduction in the amount of flux applied when using the No Clean process and thus reduces the residues left on the soldered assembly.
It is extremely difficult to measure the rate of dross production accurately, unless carried out over several weeks There are so many variables that can affect the results. The excellent paper published in 1980 by the Tin Research Institute is probably the definite document on the subject, and says the following — When these considerations are taken together, the various and contradictory opinions as to the effect of particular impurities on dross formation are readily explained. For example — aluminum at the 01% level would produce 25% more oxide or oxidation than pure 60/40 alloy at 245C, while at about 265 C it would produce 15% less.

One size fits most.
Needed black and white striped tights for daughters play. Reasonably priced, perfect fit for her and excellent delivery!
Great item, delivery and service! Thanks.
Looks good but I am 5'6" and they were too short - had to trim the toes off to pull them up, but still very uncomfortable!
Great tights, made my Halloween outfit. Very stretchy so fit was really comfortable. Fast delivery too.
Its one of those little extras which are not expensive but help to make a costume look so much better.
These tights were ok considering it was for fancy dress. They were a funny shape though and 1 leg was bigger than the other, both in length and tightness.

Research on the history of labour, labourers and labour movements and other social movements is taking place in many different contexts and is conducted by numerous individual researchers. Today, we observe a beginning revitalisation of larger and smaller institutions engaging in labour history.
The ITH has been serving for decades as an institutional platform facilitating exchange and collaboration between labour historians around the world. With membership to the ITH, researchers and activists can send a strong signal for the importance and the global institutionalisation of the research field. The ITH will only be able to continue to fulfil its role as a solid and independent global institutional platform for the history of labour, and to develop important new activities, if we succeed in broadening the membership and include all those interested in the development of labor history as a field of research.
We thus conduct a membership campaign to
• facilitate that as many researchers and activists on a global level
as possible send a signal for the importance and the institutionalisation
of research on the history of labour;
• ensure that the ITH can reliably play its role as co-organiser and institutional platform for the European Labour History Network (ELHN) founded in 2013 and the Global Labour History Network (GLHN) founded in 2015;
• safeguard the long-standing financial stability and autonomy of the ITH.
We would like to invite you to become an ITH member – either as an individual or by advocating ITH membership of your institution.

There is a lot of confusion as to how life operates after bankruptcy. Many people think they will be constantly reporting to their trustee or will have someone going over their finances on a weekly basis. Some even think they will have all their bank accounts closed down, their phone switched off and the rent cancelled. There are plenty of myths, but the reality is a lot simpler than what most people assume.
Immediate effects:
After you declare bankruptcy, your creditors are notified that you no longer owe them money anymore and that they are not allowed to contact you about the debt ever again. So the phone calls, letters, emails and direct debits stop. This is generally the biggest benefit for people, as the stress of being constantly harassed can be worse than the debt itself.
Depending on your circumstances, you may not notice any difference whatsoever, other than the lack of contact. Generally, your ability to obtain further credit is negatively affected in the short term (3-5years in most cases). Though if you are looking to declare bankruptcy, you may already find that you cannot obtain more credit as it is.
You are allowed to travel overseas, but you will need to apply for permission. We have found that the vast majority of people who apply to travel are granted permission. The process is very straightforward and can be completed in under 10 minutes. The only reason you would be declined permission is if you are needed to administer some element of your bankruptcy. For instance, if you have a number of properties that need to be sold, you may be required for further information. This is incredibly rare though, as most people declaring bankruptcy don't own a house.
You may be required to make some income contributions, but the thresholds are very reasonable. Once again, it is rare that people breach the threshold and are required to pay any money back. There is no limit to the amount of money you can save while bankrupt, as your bank accounts aren't restricted.
Reporting to your Trustee:
You are required to update your details if your circumstances change (such as your living arrangements, income, and contact details). The registered trustee will most likely contact you on the anniversary of your bankruptcy every year to check your details. They will ask about your income, employment and living arrangements.
After Bankruptcy is complete:
You are automatically discharged from bankruptcy after 3 years and 1 day, at which point any restrictions are lifted. Bankruptcy will stay on your credit file for another 2 years after discharge, but it is then automatically removed. From there, you are free to build up your credit rating, be the director of a company, travel overseas and earn as much as you like.
On Houses:
Many people are curious as to whether they will be able to get a home loan after bankruptcy. Your ability to obtain a home loan in the future depends on a number of factors, including the size of your deposit and your credit rating, but bankruptcy should not be a determining factor after it is removed from your credit file. There shouldn't be many issues though It is difficult to give a firm answer, as we don't know what the lending landscape will look like in the future given the investigations that are underway at the moment.
In conclusion:
If you are in a position where your debts are unserviceable, then bankruptcy may be worth investigating. It is generally a question of whether the consequences of bankruptcy (minimal as they may be) are worse than the consequences of unserviceable debt. For many people, the restrictions placed on bankrupt individuals are barely noticed.
If you are considering bankruptcy and are wondering how you will be affected, feel free to give Safehaven Debt Services a call on 03 9452 6900, and we can discuss your situation.

Some of you may remember that I sent letters to scientists researching the metabolic challenges from taking atypical antipsychotics. Guess what? They responded and put me in touch with others.
It just goes to show that people do care and will share the information. I am putting it all together with my own metabolic healing journey and doing a series of articles on metabolic healing, diabetes prevention and maintaining a healthy weight. The idea is that this can be addressed and needs to be addressed from all angles. Diet and exercise alone often doesn't do the trick.
You can be slender and fit and still have metabolic fallout from atypical antipsychotics.In my case the benefits of the medicine outweigh the risks.

Day Hikes Around Sonoma County: 125 Great Hikes
Robert Stone
List Price:
Your price:
Sonoma County is 35 miles north of San Francisco on the Pacific coast. This California county is known for its wineries and a magnificent natural landscape--a picturesque mix of rugged coastline, steep cliffs, forested hillsides, and verdant agricultural valleys. The cities, towns, and villages are as diverse as the geography. Interspersed throughout the landscape are thousands of acres of undeveloped parklands, forests, and open space.
Day Hikes Around Sonoma County
is a collection of 125 of the county's best day hikes, providing access to both well-known and out-of-the-way greenspace. Hikes are found along the Pacific Ocean, across the coastal ridges, into wide valleys, and through thick forests. A third of the hikes are located along the coastline, accessed by Highway 1, which connects the coastal towns as it snakes along the oceanfront cliffs and bluffs. Many coastal access points that are not easily recognized from Highway 1 are clearly described. The remaining hikes explore the inland mountains, hillsides, and valleys through numerous state parks, regional parks, and undeveloped land. Highlights include fog-shrouded redwood forests, creekside canyons, wildlife sanctuaries, lakes, tidal bays, wave-pounded coastline, and sweeping panoramic views. A wide range of hikes accommodates amateur to avid hikers, from beachfront strolls to canyon treks. Straight-forward directions and clear maps accompany all hikes. A thorough index includes cities, trails, and points of interest.

The NFL has changed through the years. First down plays are no longer guaranteed runs and it is now common to see 3-receiver formations on second down, short yardage situations and even on first down. The league is about passing the football on offense and the NFL Draft has changed along with the changes on offense.
The top running backs with all the inflated numbers from the time spent in college as the beneficiaries of run-oriented attacks, are no longer some of the top picks in the NFL Draft. In fact, the last four NFL Drafts have only produced seven running backs who were selected with first round picks. Several years back, it would be more commonplace to see seven running backs get selected in the first round of just one year of the NFL Draft.
Rushing totals have remained remarkably similar through the years, but passing totals have taken off to heights never seen before. This offensive explosion in the passing game, has ultimately diminished the need to draft running backs in the first round of the draft. The following 10 reasons are all factors contributing to the decline in draft status for the top collegiate running backs.
10 Running Back by Committee
Now, more than ever, many teams are using two or more running backs to do the work that a single back used to do in the past. Teams are looking for running backs that fit into certain formations or sets as opposed to drafting the workhorse ball carriers that used to define the game. The running backs who have experience catching footballs out of the backfield or blocking a blitzing linebacker are more readily available in the later rounds of the draft.
Consider the San Diego Chargers who had a 1,255 yard rusher in Ryan Mathews. Their backup running back, Danny Woodhead, carried the ball 106 times and caught 76 passes. Woodhead was targeted 86 times with passes, making it just about 200 times his number was called on offense. This is quite substantial work for a backup on a team that had a 1,000 yard rusher who had 285 rushing attempts of his own. Although Mathews was a first round pick, Woodhead went undrafted out of Chadron State. Despite the production by Mathews, there are still many Charger fans who consider his selection and the moving up the Chargers did in the draft to be unnecessary.
9 The Reduced Role of the Modern Fullback
The traditional blocking fullback is no longer a staple on an increasing number of running plays. Running plays are now routinely run in 3 and 4 receiver sets where big receivers can tie up defensive backs and guards or tackles can pull to lead the way. Deception has worked to diminish the role of the fullback, leading to fewer fullbacks being sought in the NFL draft. Backup fullbacks can easily be backup tight ends, becoming more valuable to use in motion as well as multiple receiver sets.
This reduced role of the fullback in the NFL has led many GMs to look for running backs who have been successful running in single-back formations or multiple receiver sets. It has become harder and harder for the typical Heisman Trophy candidate running back to have the same impact in the NFL with fewer blockers leading the way. Thus, the big numbers put up by featured backs in college are no longer as enticing to look at in the first round.
8 The No Juking League
The speed of the NFL has never been as pronounced as it is today. Defensive ends and outside linebackers now routinely post 40-yard dash times that shatter the times of some of the faster wide receivers of the past. Due to this speed on defense, running in the NFL has become much more of a North-South type of affair with the reversing direction and cutback plays that account for big yardage in college a thing of the past.
Consider Alabama running backs Trent Richardson, Mark Ingram and Eddie Lacy. The blue-collar runner of the group would be Lacy, who had only 2,402 yards rushing in college. Despite both having over 3,000 yards rushing in college, Richardson and Ingram, with arguably more speed than Lacy, might both have fewer NFL yards than Lacy at the end of 2014 (Lacy's second NFL season).
Many of the running backs that come into the NFL Draft with gaudy rushing numbers from college seldom experience the same level of success in the NFL. The open field is limited, the defenders too fast and the initial holes to run through too small. Longer runs are almost non-existent. This has made it hard to justify using a first round pick on a running back who was able to elude defenders, break tackles or make people miss in college.
7 The Short Career of Running Backs
The career of running backs has always been relatively short when compared to most other positions on the football field. Since running backs typically absorb more hits than any other player throughout the year, their bodies don't last. Out of the seven running backs that have been selected in the first round of the NFL Draft since 2010, three of them have battled injuries. Doug Martin missed most of last season, Ryan Mathews battled injuries in 2012 and Jahvid Best was forced to retire in 2011. The risk of injury makes it hard to justify using a first round selection on a player who might not even be able to make it through a 16 game NFL season.
There is a big enough difference in the rookie contracts given to first round draft choices compared to players who are selected in the second or later rounds. Two running backs can be drafted in the later rounds for the cost of one drafted in the first round. The risk of drafting a player who can easily fall victim to a serious injury makes it no longer worth taking the chance with a costly and valuable first round pick.
6 Defensive Nickel and Dime Packages
Standard 4-3 and 3-4 base defensive sets can be seen on fewer plays these days. Now, substitutions come after an offense picks up only two yards on first down. This has created the need for NFL teams to acquire extra defensive personnel in response to the multiple passing formations that have made third and long situations full of more receivers than a standard four or even five member secondary can handle. Safeties, cornerbacks and situational speed rushers are now constantly shuffled on and off the field.
Safeties and cornerbacks alone accounted for seven of the thirty two first round picks in the 2013 NFL Draft. It has become essential to have two additional "starter quality" corners and safeties who can cover slot receivers. Add in at least one situational pass rusher at either defensive tackle or end and a typical NFL defense now includes about 14-15 essential players. As a consequence, valuable first round picks have been used to draft defensive players to fill these vital roster spots, bumping good running backs further down the list.
5 The Three Receiver Set
The NFL offensive formations have changed considerably from the days of two back, two receiver and one tight end offensive sets. Every team in the league has a three receiver and four receiver offensive set. Many teams will use three receiver formations regardless of the down and distance to get a first down. Even on third and short situations, it has become commonplace to see passing formations out on the field. Many of these formations are even used to create favorable opportunities in the running game.
Whether it is a passing play or a formation used to create more favorable match-ups and space for running the ball, these passing sets require more depth on NFL rosters for wide receivers. Outside receivers, slot receivers and even speedy bulked up receivers posing as tight ends have all become important considerations when it comes to draft day. The running back is no longer an essential component in a great number of offensive plays.
4 The Meteoric Rise of the Passing Game
As mentioned, the NFL has become more of a passing league. While running the football still takes precedence in college, it is all about the aerial attack in the NFL. In 1993, two teams passed for over 4,000 yards in a season, while 13 teams threw for at least 4,000 yards in 2013. The average passing yards for a season increased from 3,210 to 3,770 in the last 20 years. Even the average passing attempts per season has increased from 515 in 1993 to 567 in 2013. The passing game has simply become more of a focal point of most NFL offenses.
All this statistical improvement and yet 1993 had some of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history slinging the ball through the air. Joe Montana, Dan Marino, John Elway and Jim Kelly were no strangers to throwing the football, yet their numbers do not measure up to some of the numbers that Drew Brees and Tom Brady put up today. The game has changed to the point where a very good collegiate receiver is now more valuable than a great Heisman Trophy winning running back.
3 Alfred Morris and Eddie Lacy
The 2013 draft stands as proof that there is no need to select a running back in the first round of the NFL draft. Second round selection, Eddie Lacy, led all rookie rushers with 1,178 yards, while Zac Stacy (973 yards rushing) and Le'Veon Bell (860 yards rushing) were not too far behind. Zac Stacy was a fifth round draft choice by the way. The success of running backs selected in later rounds has make it easier for teams to attend to other needs before selecting a running back.
2 Lack of Production from Recent First Round Picks
Since 2010, there have been only seven running backs selected in the first round. The results produced from those high draft selections have been far from spectacular. In 2010, C.J. Spiller, Ryan Mathews and Jahvid Best were first round draft picks. Ryan Mathews has been the only one to experience a good measure of success with two seasons of rushing for over 1,000 yards. Mark Ingram was taken in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft and has struggled to make an impact in big games.
The 2012 NFL Draft had three running backs going in the first round, much like in 2010. Trent Richardson was a high draft pick, while David Wilson and Doug Martin were selected at the end of the first round. Doug Martin had the best year of all seven running backs with 1,454 yards of rushing in the 2013 season, however, Wilson and Richardson have pretty much been busts. In the last four years, there has been very little reward in selecting running backs with first round picks.
1 The Tackle and Pass Rushing Defensive End
The first round of the NFL draft has become the round for teams to take care of two essentials needs. Since the passing game has taken center stage, it has become more important to look for tackles and pass rushing defensive ends or linebackers. These positions have never been as popular as they are today. The outside linebackers and defensive ends who run a 4.5 second 40-yard dash are as coveted as the men who are counted upon to block them with their nimble feet and 300 plus pound bodies. These are the new game changers in the NFL.
In the 2013 NFL Draft, the top six picks of the draft were either offensive tackles or defensive ends. In the first round alone, there were five tackles selected and seven defensive ends or outside linebackers picked for what amounts to two positions out of the 22 starters on any NFL football team.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (Legal Newsline) - New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced a settlement on Wednesday with Cayuga Medical Center for allegedly violating the Stark Act.
The Stark Act prohibits physicians from referring patients to a hospital if the physician has a relationship financially with the hospital unless there is an applicable exception. The law also prohibits a hospital from billing Medicaid for a referral that is prohibited.
"Today's settlement sheds light on the practice of questionable recruitment agreements with physicians." Schneiderman said. "Cayuga Medical Center's actions were a violation of the Stark Act which is intended to ensure that physicians' decisions not be influenced by any financial relationship they may have with a hospital."
The settlement totals $3,149,751 in both Medicaid and Medicare damages. The total recovery related to Medicaid is $710,508, of which New York will receive $426,305. CMC itself disclosed that certain physician recruitment agreements within the facility did not comply with the Stark Act.
Daniel Jorgenson, a plastic surgeon with admitting privileges at Cayuga Medical Center, filed the whistleblower lawsuit in 2007. Jorgenson outlined two questionable recruitment agreements with the facility that violated the Stark law. As a whistleblower, Jorgenson will receive 18 percent of the proceeds generated by the settlement.
Schneiderman thanked the U.S. attorney's office for the Northern District of New York, Jorgenson and Cayuga Medical Center for their cooperation in this case.

Mohamed Osman Mohamud guilty in Christmas tree bomb plot
Mr Mohamud is a naturalised US citizen

US bomb suspect pleads not guilty
US Christmas tree 'bomb' thwarted
A Somali-American man has been found guilty of trying to bomb a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in the state of Oregon.
Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 21, was given a fake bomb by undercover agents posing as Islamist militants, lawyers said.
Mohamud was arrested after he tried to use his phone to detonate the fake car bomb near a crowded square in Portland.
He will be sentenced on 14 May and may face a life sentence for attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.
The central square in Portland was crowded with thousands of people attending the ceremony in December 2010 but the public was never in danger, authorities have said.
But Mohamud's lawyers argued that law enforcement officials had entrapped their client by inventing a crime.
Peta Oregon, Portland, Amerika Serikat
"We are disappointed with the verdict," public defender Stephen Wax said, adding that he intended to appeal.
But the jury agreed with prosecutors that Mohamud, who was 19 years old at the time of arrest, could have pulled out of the plan at an earlier stage.
He is reported to have told a friend on the day of the attempted bombing that it was "the greatest morning of my life".
The FBI said Mohamud made a "series of choices over a period of several years - choices that were leading him down a path that would have ended in violence.
"His actions showed little regard for the rights and responsibilities that come with being an American or respect for the lives that he was prepared to take."

I was hanging around the guilds on HabitRPG when another user gave a heads up to queer writers: Have you heard about Strange Horizon's "Our Queer Planet" issue?
The sci-fi e-zine is hosting a celebration of queer identity, specifically looking for "work that explores intersectional queer imaginaries and experiences around the world," with an emphasis on stories set on Earth (timeline variable). So I looked through my past fiction, and some of my best sci-fi stories feature gay male leads or gender-non-binary aliens–but none of them take place on Earth.
So, I decided, I'll just have to write something new.
But then, I asked myself, what's queer literature?
It's not an entirely hypothetical question. Is it simply fiction featuring queer characters, or does queer identity need to be a plot point in particular? All the stories I've imagined since I set out to write something feature diverse characters, but their being queer isn't a pivotal part of the plot–it's simply a part of who they are as individual characters.
Perhaps it's too progressive, to delegate being gay to background character data. Certainly, it influences plot development, but in the future worlds I've envisioned, you could just as easily insert a hetero couple without the experience differing drastically: I write for the emotional experience, not the societal perceptions thereof.
An alt-earth seems like a safer route than pure sci-fi, at least for me: but how might have things differed, and how might it have changed the social constructs such that queer identity could be a central facet of the story? Too few changes and it's contemporary realism with some sprinkles of sci-fi, but change too much and I'll need a novel just to set the stage before the story can begin.
Maybe I'm just floundering for inspiration. It's been a long time, now that I think of it, since I've imagined a wholly new story–everything I've written for months now has been new installments in stories inspired when I was still a child.
The last wholly "new" thing I wrote was more than a year ago.
And, trust me, if my gender-non-conforming alien story were set on Earth, it'd be my first choice for "Our Queer Planet," but I guess it's more a "Their Queer Planet" story.
Of course, trying to write a story with the premise of it being queer fiction is itself antithesis to my process: I start with a name or situation, an idea for the ending and beginning, and then I allow the characters to fill in everything in between.
I think my stumbling block is precisely the question I started with: what makes a story queer lit? Is it the presence of queer identity, or something stronger or deeper?
What are you thoughts? And how do you get started writing stories like this?

Airbourne returns to Eastbourne this week (August 15 to August 18) and includes the world's largest civilian display team, the Breitling Jets, who will appear at all four days of the show.
The Breitling Jets are one of 55 displays to appear on the seafront at the Eastbourne International Airshow.
The council's Margaret Bannister said, "We're really excited to see this incredible French team paint the skies across Eastbourne, not once, but four times, in a rare visit to the south coast. Don't forget to pick up the essential flying guide in our official programme and donate into the bucket collection – the funds will help to keep Airbourne flying high in the future."
Fans can also look forward to the thundering Typhoon, the heavy duty Chinook, the poignant Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and the final season of the Tucano before it retires from RAF service.
World record holders, The Blades, and family favourites, the Wingwalkers, will be in action, along with new displays from the Ultimate Warbirds, Sea Fury T-20, Gazelle Squadron, Strikemaster pair and the Norwegian T-33 Shooting Star, which will be performing alongside its former cold war 'enemy' the MiG-15. The Tutor, Mustang, Rich Goodwin Pitts Special, FireFlies and The Tigers Parachute Display Team complete the lineup at the free to attend event.
Sunday evening will see the FireFlies perform an LED light and wingtip pyrotechnic show, co-ordinated for the first time to both music and aerial fireworks. A firework finale will be at 9.30pm
On the seafront people can climb aboard a replica Chinook in the RAF and Army military exhibition, test their fitness on the RAF Cadets climbing wall, try out the new RAF Motorsports driving simulator or RAF Operation Virtual Reality and experience flying the latest F35B Lightning II jet. There will also be children's entertainment beaches, simulators and a Big Wheel.
Media coverage includes live streaming of all the flying action on Saturday and Sunday at www.eastbourneairshow.com, commentary of the show can be heard on Radio Airbourne 87.7FM and Twitter users can use the hashtag #EastbourneSelfie and have their tweets featured on the big screen.
After the flying each day, the big screen will be used as a free open air family cinema with movie screenings for Christopher Robin (Thursday), Peter Rabbit (Friday), The Lego Movie 2 (Saturday) and Mamma Mia – Here We Go Again (Sunday). In the evening, there will be music from Swingshift Big Band, and Little Mix and Take That tributes at the Bandstand.
Ace and Aimee Airbear will be greeting fans with donation buckets and posing for selfies on the Western Lawns, and festival goers can meet the pair and use the hashtag #bearhug on Twitter.
Donations will help fund flying displays. Thirty per cent of the money is also split between local charities The Chaseley Trust, Parkinson's UK (Hailsham) and Eastbourne Blind Society to support their work. Organised by Steve Newman, Mike Barlow, Robin White and supported by Sovereign Harbour and Hailsham Rotary Clubs, the collectors will be at the show every day.
Parking spots are on Five Acre Field off Lottbridge Drove with bus services running to the Pier, or for a closer spot near the Western Lawns, there is premium parking on King Edwards Parade (opposite Staveley Road).
For an aerial view of the bigger displays over Eastbourne, Beachy Head has overflow parking and there will be helicopter flights offering national park views.
Entry to the Western Lawns and seafront is free, exclusive seating is available at the Bandstand in the centre of the display line from £7 per adult, or for a VIP day with first class seats and dining, the Aviator Club is available on the Western Lawns with private facilities and views.
Programmes will be available at the show for £4 from Eastbourne Tourist Information Centre, Seafront Office and sellers at the event and will have a full round-up of all flying times, ground attractions, discount vouchers and a chance to win a Citizen Red Arrows watch.
To order a programme, donate, view live streaming or to book hospitality or airshow seating, visit www.eastbourneairshow.com.

Bernie Sanders will not endorse his son, Levi, in his New Hampshire congressional race, stating that his family "[does] not believe in dynastic politics." The Vermont senator stated that Levi is "running his own campaign in his own way, "adding that he is "very proud" of his son's accomplishments.
Yes, but: There are rumblings in New Hampshire that Levi's campaign is widely seen as inept and likely to lose, per The Boston Globe. As a result, New Hampshire politics aficionados believe Bernie may not want to harm his brand before the 2020 presidential campaign by throwing his full weight behind his son.

These chairs are very comfortable but for those of us without long legs the seats are a little too deep.
I made pillows for each one that match the chaise lounge.
I purchased the fabric years ago with no idea what I was going to do with it.
I am proud to say I made each one of these in record time and achieved my goal of IMPERFECTION!
Please don't look at them closely when you come to visit, just enjoy the comfort.
With one exception all the accessories I added to this area were things I found when I shopped my home.
The exception is the rug on the floor.
Would you believe it popped up on the right column on Facebook?
I guess I now realize they do profile us correctly and somehow they knew I needed this particular rug!
There is just one more thing I will be adding. I found a red hanging lamp which is similar to the pink one I had before. I can't wait until it gets here.
Today we will christen the lanai. I have invited a group of my best friends for the occasion. We'll have appetizers, homemade soup, homemade bread and dessert. Thanks Andy for taking care of the cooking for this party.
