Not often do earthshaking events occur here, but on Oct. 16 the Zoning Board of Adjustment's continuance of a public hearing was interrupted by the 4.0 magnitude earthquake centered near Hollis, Maine.
The hearing involved Sara and Albert Nadeau's application for a variance to Article V, Section 2 of the zoning ordinances. They seek to establish an assisted living facility on Knox Marsh Road (Route 155), on land owned by Jason Berndtson, which is grandfathered commercial in the Residential/Agricultural zone. The application has been several months working its way first to the Planning Board, which granted site review approval, and since has lingered with the ZBA through several postponed hearings.
The variance is needed because this facility would be a change in use from the previous non-commercial use.
The variance was denied by the ZBA on a 4 to 1 vote. Chairman Gray Cornwell and members Don Sylvester, Ric Ericson, and Alan Monroe carried the vote, with Bill Taylor favoring the plan. Alternate Jim Kach took part in the discussion but not in the vote, the board being restricted to five votes.
Several townspeople, including one abutter, spoke out against the application, with several suggesting that a decision of such magnitude should be made by vote of theTown Meeting. They cited the town's Master Plan which calls for retaining the local rural character and argued that such a facility is not needed, worrying about what would replace it should it fail.
Two residents defended the plan, citing the fact that in the neighborhood under discussion there exist other grandfathered commercial enterprises, as well as major traffic, with one opining that, "It would be an improvement on what's there now."
Bruce Hodsdon, who is the selectmen's representative to the Planning Board, reported that the selectmen, when meeting with the potential developers of the facility in a preliminary discussion last spring, thought the assisted living facility could be a reasonable use, since the land is in commercial use, and predicting that such a facility could satisfy a need within the town. He pointed out that the zoning ordinances guarantee that should the facility fail, any other suggested use would have to go before the Planning Board.
Attorney Scott Hogan, representing the Nadeaus, lamented that there were few negative comments at any of the three hearings held by the Planning Board. He pointed out that this land has been used commercially since the 1950s.
Attorney John Ratigan, defending the opposition, said he thought the criteria which the ZBA must consider didn't meet the law, that there is no hardship involved, since the land could be used for other purposes, and that an assisted living facility placed there would violate the spirit of the ordinances.
After the public hearing was closed the discussion among the ZBA members went on for some time, the meeting ending after 10 p.m. with parties on both sides of the question observing. At one point, Sylvester told the observers:"This is a chance for you to know how hard this is...." Finally Ericson made the motion to deny, which reads "Having found that the criteria have not been met, I vote to deny...." Taylor stuck to his guns, repeating what he had said before, that since this land has been taxed as commercial property for over 50 years, it should be deemed commercial.
The ZBA on Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. in the Town Hall will hear a second appeal from the Nadeaus, this one relative to the Aquifer and Wellhead Protection Overlay District regulations which could be pertinent to their case should court appeal be made.
When the selectmen met on Oct. 19, Jason Berendtson and his attorney, Scott Hogan, came in to discuss what might be developed on Berendtson's land along Route 155 since the Zoning Board of Adjustment denied a variance for an assisted living facility to be built there.
Berendtson said he needs to do something which will bring in more revenue than storing boats in the former chicken houses, since the land is taxed commercially. They discussed the workforce housing concept, which can be built anywhere in town, following a court order.
Madbury has no zoning allowing workforce housing, a relatively new concept legislated in Concord lately and required by state law. It allows a developer to seek recourse from the court if not given permission by a town to build such housing. Uses permitted here in the Residential/Agriculture zone include single and two-family residences, general farming (horticulture, floriculture, dairying, livestock and poultry raising, the raising of animals for other purposes) and tourist homes.
"I have to consider every option for the use of this property," Berendtson said. His father has suggested that he re-activate the chicken farm. There is also the potential of going to the Town Meeting to have the area re-zoned commercial. "As`time goes on, what with the expenses related to the plans for the assisted living facility, we'll have less money to put into whatever project we decide on," he stated.
In other business, selectman Jay Moriarty reported that he is pleased with the progress of the work on the Nute Road bridge. Apparently the state is also, since in the last paragraph of an Oct. 17 letter from the New Hampshire Municipal Highways Engineer Nancy J. Mayville states:"The Town is to be commended, particularly Joe Moriarty, on how well you have handled this bridge issue."
This "repair" has an estimated 10 to 15 year design life and the town is programmed in Fiscal Year 2021 in the State Aid Bridge Program for a replacement bridge estimated to cost $550,000 - hopefully 80 percent to be state-funded.
On Nov. 1 Peter Wellenbwerger, Great Bay waterkeeper and former manager of the Great Bay Estuarine Research Reserve, will describe the resource which is the Great Bay and report on its health as the first of three lectures relating to the nitrogen issues in the bay.
This event will take place in the Madbury Town Hall from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and is open to the public free of charge.
8 a.m. to noon - Yard Sale and Bake Sale at Moharimet School
9 a.m. to 2 p.m. - Book Sale at Madbury Public Library
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. - Annual Holiday Fair at the Union Congregational Church. Soup and chowder luncheon, baked goods, crafts, preserves, Fair Trade chocolate and coffee, Heifer Project Gift Market. Dollar Corner with lightly-used winter coats, sweaters, mittens, scarves, hats. Time to reserve a homemade pie to be delivered to your door for Thanksgiving.
11 a.m. - at the library - Children's Author Jennifer A. Ericsson will read from her books, and will be available to answer questions and autograph copies of her books, which include "No Milk!" and "Whoo Goes There ?"

Petty Officer 3rd Class Wilbur Harwell was arrested without incident in Virginia Beach, about 20 miles east of where the stabbing took place.
The medical center was put on lockdown after the incident in which Harwell allegedly stabbed Petty Officer 2nd Class Justin Powell repeatedly due to an altercation.
A manhunt was launched to apprehend Harwell, and medical personnel and patients were unable to enter or leave the medical center.
Capt. Michael "Jake" Johannson said Powell was in critical condition after having surgery.

Low back pain and its associated symptoms, like sciatica, are common problems in the United States. They lead to major medical and business costs and significantly impact quality of life. Your back is constantly at work providing posture, balance, and support, so when your back is injured, the pain can make it difficult to move. As a result, many assume that resting in bed is the best option when back pain strikes. However, research on recovery often finds that movement is key to a better, faster recovery.
Researchers from the Cochrane database conducted a review of several past studies to examine whether bed rest, activity, or exercise was the best recovery effort for short term low back pain. The summary, published in the Cochrane database, found that staying active was better at improving function and pain than bed rest.
About the Study
The systematic review included 10 randomized trials that compared patients advised to bed rest to patients advised to stay active for acute low back pain or sciatica. The trials included a total of 1,923 patients. Trials were matched by specific interventions, and researchers found that:
- In two trials with 401 patients with acute low back pain, staying active was associated with small but statistically significant improvement in pain and function.
- In three other trials with 250 patients, there was no significant difference between exercise and bed rest. These trials were low quality trials.
How Does This Affect You?
Although the level and type of activity may need further research, it appears that bed rest may not be the best option for recovery of back pain. A systematic review can increase the reliability of study outcomes by increasing the number of patients involved. However, the review is only as good as the trials that make it up. The low quality of some of the trials may mean that there may be differences between the two approaches that were not able to be detected.
These finding do not mean that you should do activities that can further injure your back. You may need to adjust or stop some of your normal activities. But for the most part, it appears that continuing to move some is better than not moving at all. The amount and intensity of your activities will need to be moderated by you and your doctor. You may have a base level of pain as you move, but it should not increase with your activity. Talk to your doctor about stretches or basic movements that may help. Follow other healthy back tips, including taking frequent breaks throughout the day to move and stretch your spine if you sit or stand for long periods of time.
Back pain can be caused by a wide range of injuries. Be sure you discuss your back pain with your doctor right away if any of the following apply to you:
- Back pain after trauma, such as a car accident
- Pain that is severe or that has gotten dramatically worse
- Progressive weakness in a leg or foot
- Difficulty walking, standing, or moving
- Numbness in the genital or rectal area
- Loss of bowel or bladder control
- Difficulty with urination
- Fever, unexplained weight loss, or other signs of illness
- Pain that wakes you from sleep at night
- You have a history of IV drug use, cancer, steroid use, or a weak immune system

Some members of Congress are again using scare tactics on consumers in an attempt to obtain a new farm bill.
In addition, dairy farmers are being used as pawns by the same congressmen as an example of what the consequences could be to consumers if a new farm bill is not passed.
These congressmen are saying that milk prices to consumers could double if a new farm bill is not passed by Oct. 1. The assertion is that if a new farm bill is not passed, the 1949 Ag Act would be implemented.
On Jan. 1, 2013, that same threat was being predicted if action was not taken by Congress. However, action was taken by Congress to prevent the implementation of the 1949 Act. At that time, scare tactics were being used on consumers — threats of $8 per gallon milk prices.
That didn't happen then and in all probability will not happen now. Even if the 1949 Act had been implemented on Jan. 1, we estimated the price would have been approximately $5.65 per gallon to consumers. Actually, prices to consumers dropped around 20 cents per gallon instead of rising.
Dairy farmers should not be used as pawns by Congress. At a time when many dairy farmers are scrambling to stay in business, we certainly don't need these scare tactics to scare consumers away from using milk. Fluid milk sales have been declining recently and some of this decline could be associated with scare tactics that were used on Jan. 1.
Any time there are controversies in agriculture, it seems that milk and our dairy farmers take the brunt of the blame.
It's time for Congress to step in and take real corrective action to relieve the financial burden that is being experienced by dairy farmers.
Ever since 1981 Congress has failed to cope with the real problem facing the majority of dairy farmers. The pricing formula used to determine the value of milk at the farm level must be changed. If the parity price contained in the 1949 Act is not feasible, then it's time a new pricing formula be implemented that reflects the dairy farmers' costs. Anything else is just not feasible and should not be accepted by dairy farmers.
Unfortunately, Congress has failed to give just consideration to the Specter-Casey Bill — the Federal Milk Marketing Improvement Act. This bill would have priced milk paid to dairy farmers based on the national average cost of production. This bill would not have created an $8 per gallon cost to consumers, and the price would not have been $5.65 per gallon. The price would have been approximately $4.15 per gallon.
It's time Congress comes to its senses and passes a realistic dairy bill patterned after the Specter-Casey bill. Anything else will only continue chaos on our dairy farms and more slipping in fluid sales.

CALGARY - Foreign capital will continue to flow into Canada's resource sector, despite Prime Minister Stephen Harper's vow to raise the bar on the level of state-owned investment it will allow from now on, experts said Friday as Ottawa waved through two multibillion-dollar deals.
In announcing the long-awaited approvals of a Chinese takeover of Nexen Inc. (TSX:NXY) and a Malaysian takeover of Progress Energy Resources Corp. (TSX:PRQ), Harper said there are limits to how much foreign state-owned influence is acceptable, particularly in the oilsands.
That caveat didn't appear to spook observers in Canada's business community, who expect foreign dollars to continue to pour into the oilpatch — even if it's not through blockbuster takeovers, but rather bite-sized deals that have been the norm for several years now.
There's no indication that joint-venture deals, minority investments and small-scale acquisitions will be stifled in any way, said Greg Stringham, vice-president of oilsands and markets at the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.
There has been relatively little political outcry to deals such as PetroChina's joint venture with Athabasca Oil Corp. (TSX:ATH) three years ago, and the subsequent move for full control of an oilsands project earlier this year. Nor has Sinopec's nine per cent interest in the Syncrude oilsands mine generated much furor. Both companies are controlled by the Chinese state, as is Nexen's buyer, CNOOC.
The energy industry invested $61 billion in projects this year and "that's bigger than the economy can supply," said Stringham.
"So we've got to look beyond our borders for that investment in order to develop that resource for the good of Canadians — or in (the government's) words, the net benefit."
John Stephenson, portfolio manager at First Asset Investment Management, was similarly unfazed by Ottawa's take on future foreign deals.
"We can't close the door in its entirety. We have to open it. I think the government's done a good job in walking a fine line," he said.
University of Calgary economist Eugene Beaulieu said he'd still like to see more clarity from Ottawa about what exactly constitutes a "net benefit" to Canada, but that Friday's announcement sends a positive signal to would-be foreign investors.
"They do have wiggle room right now," he said. "I think they played this one pretty well because it's not going to be free and open for state-owned enterprises to come in and buy whatever they want."
At the same time, it's not going to cut off the investment flow.
"I think it's a positive. If we would have said no (to CNOOC and Petronas), it might have."
George Addy, a senior partner at law firm Davies Ward Phillips and Vineberg, said he understands why Ottawa is particularly concerned about foreign ownership in the oilsands, since the sector is currently controlled by just a handful of companies.
"If you have a sector with 1,000 owners there, it's a little different. He's saying we're down to 15 companies in this sector so it's getting concentrated," said Addy, who heads up his firm's competition and foreign investment review group.
"He's doing that short of drawing a numerical line, which I think was a wise thing to do."
Addy said there's a long history of foreign investment in the oilpatch through minority stakes and joint ventures, and that's not going anywhere.
"They obviously they think there's a return on that investment. I don't see why that would change."
David Detomasi, a business professor at Queen's University, said the Harper government was caught "flat-footed" when it came to dealing with the political response to the Nexen-CNOOC deal, and what sorts of future investments it could open the door to.
"I think today's announcement is reassuring to China, with whom Harper is trying to build increasing economic relations. I think the Chinese worked very hard to secure the right conditions to allow that bid to go through," he said
"However, beyond that, I do think ... he's going to be much tougher on investments from state-owned companies."
While that might stymie investment from the likes of CNOOC and Petronas going forward, there's plenty of cash from massive non-state players such as looking for a home.
"The global oil industry is spending about $600 billion a year on exploration alone. While CNOOC has a massive exploration budget, so do all the big majors that we typically associate with oil and gas — ExxonMobil, Chevron," he said.
"It would be interesting to see if a similar bid was launched by some of the big private major American companies, would it have the same sort of political ramifications in Canada? I think there still would be."

Abu Ali al-Husayn ibn Abdullah ibn Sina (Ibn Sina) (980-1037 CE)
Abu Ali al-Husayn ibn Abdullah ibn Sina, known as Ibn Sina, and in the West as Avicenna, was one of the most celebrated philosophers and physicians in the early Islamic Empire. He wrote prolifically on a wide range of subjects. Forty of his medical texts have survived, the most famous of which are the Kitab ash-Shifa (the Book of Healing) and the al-Qanun fi al-Tibb - or Canon of Medicine. The latter is one of the most significant books in the history of medicine; for instance it was printed in Europe at least 60 times between 1516 and 1574. The Canon remained a major authority for medical students in both the Islamic world and Europe until well into the 1700s.
Like other Islamic scholars, Ibn Sina studied the writings of the lands that were being absorbed into an expanding Islamic Empire. Indeed, the Canon of Medicine incorporates the work of Galen, as well as ancient Ayurvedic, Arabian and Persian texts. It also contains his own contemporary theories of medicine. The resulting synthesis sets out a medical system that was accepted as the standard for centuries. As such, the influence of Ibn Sina on the development of medicine across much of the world is perhaps second only to that of Galen.
His Canon of Medicine is an immense study containing over a million words. In it he outlines both the causes of disease as well as the causes of good health. It includes a number of highly original contributions, including a recognition of the contagious natures of certain diseases, such as tuberculosis, and a description of how water and soil can be factors in the spread of disease. Other sections of this encyclopedic work address such diverse areas as drug treatments, anatomy, psychology and surgery.

One has worked in the Lee County courts system for 28 years, the other comes in from the county commissioners' ranks, the way his father and great grandfather did.

Linda Doggett
GOP voters will choose on Aug. 14 between longtime clerk office official Linda Doggett and District 2 Lee County Commissioner Brian Bigelow for the seat to be vacated by retiring Clerk of the Court Charlie Green.
The victor of the primary will face Harry H. Beeman, a write-in candidate, in the November general election.
Linda Doggett
Age: 50
Residence: unincorporated Lee County
Occupation: Chief Operating Officer for the Clerk of the Court.
Doggett has vested most of her career there, having been with the clerk's office since 1984. She was director of information technology for 10 years and courts department director for 10 years. In her current position, she has earned the endorsement of outgoing Clerk of the Circuit Court Charlie Green.
"I've touched every area of the office. I know the job, responsibilities, goals and statutes. I've been leading people for years," Doggett said. "My applications have facilitated efficiencies and improvements that have crossed over into other areas like going paperless and electronic documents."
Doggett said she was motivated to run to continue the work she and her soon-to-be predecessor have done.
"I know I have the qualifications, education, experience and leadership skills," Doggett said. "I felt I had the civic duty to continue to step into that role and provide service to the community."
She said her three-pronged attack upon election would be to continue making the office more efficient, more transparent and enhancing the internal audit function.
"I want to be sure our taxpayers' money is being used efficiently. This is not a political office," Doggett said. "About 95 percent of what we do is process the flow of information, and it takes a qualified person with a clear vision to do it well."
Brian Bigelow
Age: 48
Residence: Fort Myers
Occupation: District 2 Lee County Commissioner
Bigelow, a fifth-generation Lee County native, worked as a town planner before being elected county commissioner in 2006.
While he has not worked within the clerks office, he believes that his efforts as a Lee County Commissioner and budgetary experience makes him the ideal candidate.
"I'm one of five board members who oversees a $2 billion annual budget and more than 2,500 employees," Bigelow said. "I have a larger budget than the clerk's office and it's that oversight experience that attracts me."
Bigelow lives by the credo "experts are hired, but leaders are elected." He sees himself as such in the way his father was when he served as commissioner in the 1980s.
"I've had six years of effective leadership and those are the people the electorate hires to lead the office," Bigelow said. "There are over 900 functions of the clerk's office and you would have to be superhuman to be an expert at all of them."
Bigelow said his goal if elected would be to make the office more transparent, frugal and ethical and to make the auditing process more broad in scope.
"It's necessary to assess the organization and start the audit department along the path of reform. I want to make it the inspector general for the department," Bigelow said. "I'd like to see how we can maximize the dollars we take in."

Are you puzzled what to take for the coming Holiday potluck or give a homemade gift? Why not to bake the classic holiday Fruitcake and make your friends or family bring back some vivid memories.
When I was a kid, one of the goodies, I always look forward each Christmas is the Fruitcake and Semolina cake. When our Christian friends share the fruitcake along with sweets and snacks. Everyone wants to have a share for the little slice of cake :) The dry fruits soaked in alcohol and nuts folded in flour and caramel will drive us nuts! The next day, my dad makes sure to get a plum cake (Indian fruit cake) from bakery, which is individually wrapped in wax paper!
Wasn't that cool to receive all those goodies for Diwali, Christmas and Eid and feast their lovely homemade goodies or remember at least those festivals. It remains as sweet memories forever!
I already baked a Fruits and Nuts cake from Bee's place. If you are looking for a vegan recipe better to follow her awesome and fool proof recipe.
For the Indian version of Plum cake (fruitcake), I got the recipe from RP but modified the sweet and soaked the dry fruits in orange juice along with rum extract. I have done before for this recipe. The recipe met all my expectations, except I want to reduce more the sugar level to ½ cup next time. After all I felt ¼ cup reduction of sugar is not enough for my spicy tongue! The alcohol can be always omitted if you wish but definitely the taste differs.
Help yourself for this Christmas!

In 1888 Krylov joined the department of ship construction of St Petersburg Maritime Academy. There he was taught advanced mathematics by Aleksandr Nikolaevich Korkin, a student of Chebyshev, who was an expert in partial differential equations. Korkin always put in extra effort for the students who he recognised as having exceptional abilities, giving them personal tuition and posing them very difficult and challenging problems. Krylov benefited greatly from Korkin's tuition and he graduated First Class in 1890 after only two years of study. Korkin then persuaded Krylov to stay at the Maritime Academy and take over teaching his courses. This Krylov did, remaining there to teach for almost 50 years [1]:-
He taught various theoretical and engineering sciences for about fifty years at this military-maritime institute, creating from among his students a large school of shipbuilders who were both engineers and scientists.In 1898 Krylov received a Gold Medal from the Royal Institution of Naval Architects for his outstanding contributions to the theory of oscillating motion of a ship.
The Naval Administration Towing Tank was set up in 1894 to perform ship model tests to find engine power requirements for specified speeds and hull lines which required the least power. It was the first experimental basin to test ship design in Russia and the sixth the world. The Superintendent of the Tank was A A Grekhnev but after he left, Captain of the Admiralty A N Krylov was appointed 'the Acting Superintendent of the Tank' on 3 January 1900. Krylov proposed establishing a scientific institution that would include the Towing Tank, testing and physical-chemical laboratories for research on ship construction materials, a mechanical laboratory and an electrical engineering laboratory. On 3 April 1902 Emperor Nicolas II visited the Towing Tank and:-
... deigned to be entirely pleased with both the performed experiments and the observed order of things ...expressing his Imperial gratitude to Krylov as the Superintendent of the Tank. Krylov's work at the Towing Tank covered [1]:-
... theories of buoyancy, stability, rolling and pitching, vibration, and performance, and compass theories.These were precisely the topics that Euler called 'naval science'. But Krylov went even further, joining a voyage on board the 1-rank cruiser Askold in 1902.
In January 1908, Krylov, by this time a General, was appointed Chief Naval Ship Construction Inspector and President of the Maritime Engineering Committee [1]:-
His courage and integrity led to conflicts with officials of the Maritime Ministry and his refusal to do further work for them.in [6] Botchev gives examples which illustrate Krylov's struggle against officials:-
To promote his innovations, he often had to fight against stagnation and rigid views of the top officials. Once, giving a speech at an important meeting before a large audience, Krylov addressed naval officers asking them for their support in his "fight against the rut in shipbuilding". Being a naval officer at that time, he received an official reprimand for this speech. Another incident also quite remarkably illustrates Krylov's personality: on a sitting of a high-rank technical committee Krylov once took with him several technicians directly from the ships so that they could support his opinion in the debates.Krylov gave up his posts at the Maritime Ministry in 1910. In 1914 he was awarded an honorary doctorate in applied mathematics from Moscow University. In the same year he was elected a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, becoming a full member in 1916. After the October Revolution of 1917 Krylov sided with the Soviet Government but tried to influence their attitude towards science. In 1919, along with others, he organised the Russian Association of Physicists. In February 1919 they set up a committee of four, Ioffe, Krylov, Anri and Lazarev, to coordinate the receipt of foreign literature, instruments and equipment, and to restart foreign research travel. They called for government support for new institutes, the reestablishment of ties between physicists in Russia and abroad, and the resumption of publication of scientific journals. Indeed Krylov was one of the first scientists allowed to travel to the West after the Revolution, travelling to London in 1921 to re-establish contacts between Russia and the West.
From 1927 until 1932 he was director of the Physics-Mathematics Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences. He became an honoured scientist and engineer of the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic in 1939 and, in 1943, was awarded the State Prize for his work compass theory and made a "hero of socialist labour".
Krylov made many mathematical advances in his applications of mathematics to shipbuilding. In hydrodynamics, among many advances, he made significant contributions to the theory of ships moving in shallow water. In 1904 he constructed a mechanical integrator to solve ordinary differential equations, being the first in Russia to make such an instrument. He improved Fourier's method for solving boundary value problems in a 1905 paper and gave many applications [1]:-
While using mathematics and mechanics to work out his theory of ships, Krylov simultaneously improved the methods of both disciplines. In a paper on forced vibrations of fixed-section pivots (1905), he presented an original development of Fourier's method for solving boundary value problems, pointing out its applicability to a series of important questions: for example, the theory of steam-driven machine indicators, the measurement of gas pressure in the conduit of an instrument, and the twisting vibrations of a roller with a flywheel on its end.He studied the acceleration of convergence of Fourier series in a paper in 1912, and studied the approximate solutions to differential equations in a paper published in 1917.
In 1931 he found a new method of solving the secular equation determining the frequency of vibrations in mechanical systems which is better than methods due to Lagrange, Laplace, Jacobi and Le Verrier. This paper On the numerical solution of the equation by which, in technical matters, frequencies of small oscillations of material systems are determined deals with eigenvalue problems. Krylov writes in the paper (see for example [6]):-
It is clear that, if for k = 2 and k = 3 it is easy to compose this [secular] equation, then for k = 4 the laying-out becomes cumbersome, and for values k more than 5 this is completely unrealisable in a direct way. Therefore one should use methods where the full development of the determinant is avoided. The aim of the paper ... is to present simple methods of composition of the secular equation in the developed form, after which, its solution, i.e. numerical computation of its roots, does not present any difficulty. Before we describe these methods, it is good to return a bit back and consider how the first creators of these methods, Lagrange and Laplace, and then such a great astronomer as Le Verrier and such a great mathematician as Jacobi proceeded ...This obvious interest in the history of mathematics and mechanics come over in Krylov's work in a number of ways [1]:-
Krylov's practical interests were combined with a deep understanding of the ideas and methods of classical mathematics and mechanics of the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries; and in the world of Newton, Euler, and Gauss, he found forgotten methods that were applicable to the solution of contemporary problems.In fact Krylov published the first Russian translation from Latin of Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica in 1915. Three editions were published during Krylov's lifetime, then in 1989 a facsimile reproduction of the third edition was published. On 5 October 1933 Krylov gave a speech in Moscow during the celebration at the USSR Academy of Sciences of the 150th anniversary of the death of Euler. This speech was published in 1935, and a Bulgarian translation of the speech was published in 1983 on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Euler's death.
Finally let us mention some of the classic texts which Krylov published. The first edition of Lectures on Approximate Calculations appeared in 1911, the second edition in 1932, the third in 1935, and the fourth in Krylov's collected works. The first edition of On Some Differential Equations of Mathematical Physics Having Application to Technical Problems appeared in 1913, the second edition in 1932, and the fourth appeared in 1948 as part of Krylov's collected works. Vibration of ships was first published in 1936 as a textbook in shipbuilding for Technical Schools. In 1943 he published Thoughts and materials on teaching mechanics. The ideas on teaching he presented in this text are considered in detail in [18].
Krylov married Elisaveta Dmitrievna Dranitsyna; their daughter Anna, later became Anna Kapitsa after marrying the famous physicist Pyotr Leonidovich Kapitsa who the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1978 for his research in magnetism and low-temperature physics. Krylov died in Leningrad (now St Petersburg) and is buried in the Volkovo cemetery.

January 19, 2008-Another night in a lonely anchorage.
View from Ao Labu
After a couple weeks of resting up in Yacht Haven Marina in Phuket we got restless and bored so we cast off the lines and left the marina and had a good upwind sail out the channel in puffy conditions sailing against Baker Street who was leaving at the same time and I have to say we beat them, then they broke off and sailing by ourselves we crossed to Yao Yai Island and found a place called Labu Bay with good holding and protection from the prevailing easterly winds and a bit of cover from the SW as well and dropped the hook in 16 feet.
We are now out here in these islands being hermits. Total relaxation is the nirvana we seek and we can get closer to it where the boat is anchored tonight: no people, no other boats, a few lights ashore but not many. Just us and the wind and the sky and the stars and a good bottle of Lindeman's wine from Oz and some music on the stereo and I am trying for the umpteenth time to get a handle on Einstein's special theory. That tells you that I have some time on my hands. For exercise we swim laps around the boat in the afternoon.
There might be a job happening in Bangkok but it seems to be stalled, so we've moved on, so to speak. I've got my radio email working now and the phone gets a signal if I keep it on deck so I do that and I'm still in touch with world if the world wants to get in touch with us, but as I say, we're not holding our breaths.
Randy and Laura on Pollen Path are leaving for the Andaman Islands, which are Indian territory, with some other boats and we feel like we could have been doing that, but it was too much to get organized for this season so we just wish them "bon voyage" and look for some reports from them later which we can use next year.
Tonight I watch as the wind shifts back to the east from the afternoon SW sea breeze and kicks up to 20 knots; Judy goes on deck to see that everything is secure. She reports some lightning but no ominous clouds and we are not too worried but she takes the awning down anyhow and we might set the GPS anchor watch.
Seems like we've been here before, and it's good.
Fred & Judy, SV Wings, Koh Yao Yai, Thailand

MV Liverpool Bridge, before she was renamed MV Derbyshire. © HMSO, reproduced with kind permission
This online feature was originally created to accompany a display marking the 25th anniversary of the sinking of the MV Derbyshire in 2005. There is now a small display in the Life at Sea gallery.
MV Derbyshire is the biggest British registered merchant ship ever to have been lost at sea.
Built in 1976, she was an oil/bulk/ore (OBO) carrier. A Liverpool registered ship, she was owned by the local firm Bibby Line. On her final voyage more than a third of the crew were from Liverpool.
She was lost in September 1980 in the South China Seas during typhoon Orchid, en route from Canada to Japan. All 44 people onboard died, including 42 crew members and 2 of their wives.
In the 1980s about 17 bulk carriers were lost each year. The loss of Derbyshire was extraordinary because:
Incredibly it was 20 years before the reasons for the sinking were discovered. This is the story of how the families of the lost crew fought to discover the truth.

Senate Panel Grills Candidate to Head Central Command
(WASHINGTON) -- The general assigned to head the U.S. Central Command in the Middle East was grilled on Thursday about Afghanistan and Iraq by members on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
As it happened Army Gen. Lloyd Austin oversaw the final drawdown of forces in Iraq in 2011 that left virtually no American soldiers other than those who protected the embassy in Baghdad.
At the time, Austin's recommendation was for a force of above 3,500 troops but because Baghdad refused to grant U.S. soldiers immunity from prosecution, the Obama administration decided against leaving a residual force.
Austin told the Senate panel that he found ongoing violence in Iraq troubling and that a residual force might have acted as a stabilizing influence as Iraqi national soldiers and police still get their bearings.
Meanwhile, the general suggested that plans for the U.S. and its coalition partners to fund a reduced Afghan force of 230,000 after 2014 could result in shakier security with the Taliban still threatening to take over the country.
Austin added that he has no input yet on the Obama administration's post-Afghanistan war strategy and how many American forces will be left there when the major withdrawal is completed next year.

1. The history of exploring American English has been briefly reviewed.
2. The modern status of American English has been described.
Why the present perfect? I'd use the present tense here.
we have been reviewed- active
cannot allow one consider- to consider
canoe, moccasin, squaw, tomahawk, wigwam,- BTW, these have all crossed, like many more, into BrE
which are not common in more conservative British English- I have to disagree with this assessment of the state of British English. Firstly, there is a huge amount of slang in BrE and, secondly, the pace of change in language is in fact in many ways faster today in BrE, and many Americans have become the conservatives of today. The second point may be debatable in terms of degree, but there is no question that BrE is in great change, but the point about slang is just plain wrong, I'm afraid.
As a further point, you might want to look at some of the small grammatical differences, like relative pronoun usage, which don't really impede comprehension but are common and add to the tapestry of difference.

Alfredtuohey necesitaba un nuevo diseño de banner publicitario y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 112 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
Cutting edge international pop music producer.
I'm looking for a slick, clean, hot, stylish front page banner for a pop music producer/artist called "THE ANGEL".
This producer is about to have single releases on projects with JR Rotem (Rihanna, Jason Derulo, Brintey Spears) and Cascada (Evacuate the dance floor), and has already had No.1 singles and songs released in Japan and Europe. So this front page banner needs to be as stylish as the world class artists and producers he is working with.
For his musical style references think Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Chris Brown, Jason Derulo, and other cutting edge pop music icons.
We don't want the site to look too 'techno' as he also produces for artists like Bruno Mars who are more organic sounding. So it's main theme is to look stylish and cutting edge.
Pop music fans. Fans who follow the THE ANGEL because of his work with leading pop artists. Developing his brand as a producer and artist in his own right so fans can enjoy the releases of his music on his own label as well as with other international pop artists.
Record label executives. Executives who are interested in hiring THE ANGEL to produce and write for their artists. And potentially to sign THE ANGEL as an artist themselves. They need to see an image which is in line with the quality of other leading chart topping international artists.
There are a few basic requirements/elements for this design:
- Photo of THE ANGEL, with wings (provided separately)
- THE ANGEL 'Playing' a graphic EQ (EQ not provided)
- Text: 'THE ANGEL'
- Back ground/wallpaper.
- Size: Full screen size, 1024 x 768.
There wasn't enough room in this section to write a detailed description of what we're looking for, so please see attached 'THE ANGEL Banner Brief' for more details.
The photo of THE ANGEL is standing upright and needs to have the wings placed on him (as a subtle shadow).
In the hands of the photo we envisage THE ANGEL 'playing' or 'manipulating' a graphic equalizer (examples of EQ's included in references). We are open to any colour/colours or design of EQ being used, as long as it creates a contemporary, stylish look. One thought we have is for the EQ bars to be a thick, chunky type look, although we are open to seeing what can be created in any look which helps the whole design look amazing.
We want to be 'wowed'. So please use your creativity to create something sleek and internationally stylish. It could be in ways we have not thought of, as music is our specialty, not graphic design, so please show us what can work!
THE ANGEL's music is taking the world by storm, so the main page on his website also needs to reflect his success.
All the best with it, and we look forward to seeing the designs.
THE ANGEL team!

"The purpose of a poster is to graphically make a statement. Words and graphics must be directed to get across one idea universally. A poster should leave no doubt about what the artist means, and it should have the same interpretation by everyone." - Tom Benton
Throughout his career Benton backed his art with activism. During the late 1960s and early '70s he created numerous posters against the Vietnam War and the Nixon administration, which he held in particular disdain.
"He's always been a very courageous spokesman both through his art and his politics for issues related to peace and the environment," said former Pitkin County Sheriff Bob Braudis.
Benton organized a memorable war protest and peace march in 1968 to the Aspen- area home of U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. When McNamara attempted to walk out through the protesters, Benton blocked the driveway with his body and barred the exit, proclaiming, "We don't like your war, and just because this is a resort town, don't think you can get away from it."
In response to plans in 1969 to detonate an underground nuclear bomb near Rulison, Colorado, Benton organized and led a march in opposition. Marchers carried his posters declaring, "Stop the military industrial complex" and "No contamination without representation." The message was clear, the turnout impressive, but the bomb was set off anyway.

This section provides a simplified outline of the steps involved when MySQL Cluster data nodes are started. More complete information can be found in MySQL Cluster Start Phases.
These phases are the same as those reported in the output from the
command in the management client. (See
Section 17.5.2, "Commands in the MySQL Cluster Management Client", for more
information about this command.)
node_id STATUS
Start types. There are several different startup types and modes, as shown here:
Initial Start.
The cluster starts with a clean file system on all data
nodes. This occurs either when the cluster started for the
very first time, or when all data nodes are restarted using
--initial option.
Disk Data files are not removed when restarting a node
System Restart. The cluster starts and reads data stored in the data nodes. This occurs when the cluster has been shut down after having been in use, when it is desired for the cluster to resume operations from the point where it left off.
Node Restart. This is the online restart of a cluster node while the cluster itself is running.
Initial Node Restart. This is the same as a node restart, except that the node is reinitialized and started with a clean file system.
Setup and initialization (Phase -1). Prior to startup, each data node (ndbd process) must be initialized. Initialization consists of the following steps:
Obtain a node ID
Fetch configuration data
Allocate ports to be used for inter-node communications
Allocate memory according to settings obtained from the configuration file
When a data node or SQL node first connects to the management node, it reserves a cluster node ID. To make sure that no other node allocates the same node ID, this ID is retained until the node has managed to connect to the cluster and at least one ndbd reports that this node is connected. This retention of the node ID is guarded by the connection between the node in question and ndb_mgmd.
Normally, in the event of a problem with the node, the node disconnects from the management server, the socket used for the connection is closed, and the reserved node ID is freed. However, if a node is disconnected abruptly—for example, due to a hardware failure in one of the cluster hosts, or because of network issues—the normal closing of the socket by the operating system may not take place. In this case, the node ID continues to be reserved and not released until a TCP timeout occurs 10 or so minutes later.
To take care of this problem, you can use
SESSIONS. Running this statement forces all reserved
node IDs to be checked; any that are not being used by nodes
actually connected to the cluster are then freed.
Beginning with MySQL 5.1.11, timeout handling of node ID
assignments is implemented. This performs the ID usage checks
automatically after approximately 20 seconds, so that
PURGE STALE SESSIONS should no longer be
necessary in a normal Cluster start.
After each data node has been initialized, the cluster startup process can proceed. The stages which the cluster goes through during this process are listed here:
Phase 0.
NDBFS and
blocks start (see
NDB Kernel Blocks). The cluster
file system is cleared, if the cluster was started with the
--initial option.
Phase 1.
In this stage, all remaining
NDB kernel blocks are started.
Cluster connections are set up, inter-block communications
are established, and Cluster heartbeats are started. In the
case of a node restart, API node connections are also
When one or more nodes hang in Phase 1 while the remaining node or nodes hang in Phase 2, this often indicates network problems. One possible cause of such issues is one or more cluster hosts having multiple network interfaces. Another common source of problems causing this condition is the blocking of TCP/IP ports needed for communications between cluster nodes. In the latter case, this is often due to a misconfigured firewall.
Phase 2.
NDBCNTR kernel block checks the
states of all existing nodes. The master node is chosen, and
the cluster schema file is initialized.
Phase 3.
DBLQH and
kernel blocks set up communications between them. The
startup type is determined; if this is a restart, the
DBDIH block obtains permission to perform
the restart.
Phase 4.
For an initial start or initial node restart, the redo log
files are created. The number of these files is equal to
For a system restart:
Read schema or schemas.
Read data from the local checkpoint.
Apply all redo information until the latest restorable global checkpoint has been reached.
For a node restart, find the tail of the redo log.
Phase 5. Most of the database-related portion of a data node start is performed during this phase. For an initial start or system restart, a local checkpoint is executed, followed by a global checkpoint. Periodic checks of memory usage begin during this phase, and any required node takeovers are performed.
Phase 6. In this phase, node groups are defined and set up.
Phase 7.
The arbitrator node is selected and begins to function. The
next backup ID is set, as is the backup disk write speed.
Nodes reaching this start phase are marked as
Started. It is now possible for API nodes
(including SQL nodes) to connect to the cluster. connect.
Phase 8.
If this is a system restart, all indexes are rebuilt (by
Phase 9. The node internal startup variables are reset.
Phase 100 (OBSOLETE). Formerly, it was at this point during a node restart or initial node restart that API nodes could connect to the node and begin to receive events. Currently, this phase is empty.
Phase 101.
At this point in a node restart or initial node restart,
event delivery is handed over to the node joining the
cluster. The newly joined node takes over responsibility for
delivering its primary data to subscribers. This phase is
also referred to as
SUMA handover
After this process is completed for an initial start or system restart, transaction handling is enabled. For a node restart or initial node restart, completion of the startup process means that the node may now act as a transaction coordinator.
