Reasons for Designation
Small enclosed settlements dating from the Middle Bronze Age are often
associated with earlier field systems and are known on some sites to have
replaced earlier unenclosed settlements. Enclosures of both sub-rectangular
and curvilinear plan are known; the sites are wholly or partly surrounded by a
ditch, bank or palisade, or by a combination or succession of all three. Where
excavated, sites have usually been found to contain a small group of domestic
buildings sufficient for a single or extended family group, although a few
larger enclosures are known. Evidence of a succession of buildings has been
found on some sites. The buildings are usually circular in plan but occasional
rectangular structures are known. Both types of building would have provided a
combination of living accommodation and storage or working areas. Storage pits
have been recorded inside buildings on some sites but are generally rarely
present. In addition to pottery and worked flint, large quantities of burnt
stone and metal working debris have been found in some enclosures.
Although the precise figure is not known, many small enclosed settlements are
located on the chalk downland of southern England. As a class they are
integral to understanding Bronze Age settlement and land use strategies, while
their often close proximity to the numerous burial monuments in the area will
provide insights into the relationship between secular and ceremonial activity
during the Middle Bronze Age.
A small number of small enclosed settlements survive on downland as visible
earthworks; the majority, however, occur in areas of more intensive
cultivation and survive in buried form, visible only from the air as soil
marks and crop marks. All examples with visible earthworks, and those in
buried form which retain significant surviving remains, are considered to be
of national importance.
The enclosure on Sheep Down 930m south east of Heart Clump survives well and is known from partial excavation to contain archaeological and environmental evidence relating to the monument and the landscape in which it was constructed. The enclosure is likely to have a Late Bronze Age origin and partial excavation suggests that it continued in use over an extended period. The enclosure is likely to have been closely associated with the field system situated to the south west. A second smaller enclosure (which has since been destroyed), lay to the south east and may have performed a complementary role.
Legacy Record - This information may be included in the List Entry Details.
The monument includes a late prehistoric enclosure situated on the gently
sloping north face slope of Sheep Down, overlooking the South Winterborne
The enclosure, which is sub-rectangular in plan, has a slightly raised
interior with dimensions of 45m by 25m, enclosed by a bank 3.5m wide and
about 0.45m high, with an outer ditch 4m wide and about 0.5m deep. There are
indications of an outer bank 3m wide and 0.2m high along the northern and
southern sides. A single entrance situated in the centre of the eastern side
includes a gap in the bank 5m wide and a ramp across the ditch 3m wide.
Partial excavations conducted by W Putnam in 1970 found the banks to be
constructed of turf with a gravel core derived from the ditch. The ditch was
`V'-shaped in section, with dimensions of 4m wide at the top and 2m wide at
the base. The entrance was associated with a pair of post holes which may mark
the position of a pair of gates. The enclosure has rounded corners and,
following the excavation, Putnam suggested that the site represented a Roman
military fort built around the period of the Roman conquest and which may
have served a signalling function. However, the enclosure is not of a typical
Roman form and there are traces of internal subdivisions which are unlikely to
be consistent with those of a Roman fort. No structural foundations were
identified, although finds included a range of pottery dating from the Late
Bronze Age to the later Romano-British period. This wide range of pottery from
the site and the form of the enclosure would suggest a prehistoric origin
(most probably during the later Bronze Age), with its use continuing over many
centuries. It is likely that the enclosure was associated with the field
system situated on the steep slopes of the valley to the south west. This is
the subject of a separate scheduling.
All fence posts relating to modern field boundaries are excluded from the
scheduling, although the ground beneath is included.
MAP EXTRACT The site of the monument is shown on the attached map extract. It includes a 2 metre boundary around the archaeological features, considered to be essential for the monument's support and preservation.

HOBART presents the next generation of the CP/CN series. Whether in PREMAX or PROFI version, the new rack-type dishwasher offers new technology dimensions with convincing solutions for more efficiency, economy, easier handling and even better drying results. The models will be available from October 2017.
Driving progress, retaining well-proven features. Under this motto, HOBART keeps improving its warewashing solutions, setting standards all over the world. The latest development, the innovative rack-type dishwashers of the CP/CN series, boasts three significant improvements. Reason enough for HOBART, the global market leader, to proclaim the improved machines a new dimension of commercial warewashing.
In practice, it often is the case that one worker only is assigned to operate the typical rack-type dishwasher. This means that this operator has to walk constantly to and fro because the front rack will trigger the mechanical limit switch once it reaches the end of the unloading table. After just a few racks filled with dirty dishes, the operator needs to wash his or her hands and go from the intake to the end of the machine to unload the clean wash ware. This work needs to be completed before the other racks remaining in the dishwasher can be washed. The patented RACK-FLOW sensor system puts an end to this time-consuming walking up and down. Intelligent control technology allows for loading the machine over its entire length and using it without tedious interruptions. Optimised processes ensure that up to double the number of racks can be washed in one cycle ‒ for more efficiency and faster warewashing.
Everything at a glance with the comfortable compact display and clearly structured user interface of the INFOTRONIC control by HOBART: operating mode, operating status, temperatures etc. Furthermore, key information such as the water and power consumption can be called up directly via the intuitive customer menu, ensuring compliance with the DIN regulations regarding documentation of the maintenance history. The INFOTRONIC control also simplifies the flexible programming of the autostart programme and allows for data download via the USB port.
The DYNAMIC-DRY drying function employs sophisticated state-of-the-art fan technology in the shape of a special inflow nozzle. It provides for higher dynamic air speeds and thus increases the efficiency by 50 %. You'll see the result immediately in your wash ware: even deep indentations, recesses or hollow bodies will be completely dry with the new drying technology. At the same time, the DYNAMIC-DRY drying is particularly energy-efficient and consumes less energy than conventional systems. The drying result is considerably optimised while energy is saved in the drying zone.
For example the patented, innovative AUTO-CLEAN self-cleaning system which makes machine cleaning significantly easier. This benefit is due to the intelligent arrangement of the cleaning nozzles. It allows for automated interior and heat recovery cleaning thanks to the AUTO-CLEAN self-cleaning system. This saves not only your time but also your money.
In the past, the HOBART rack-type dishwashers have received a number of globally renowned awards for their numerous technical features which ensure their uncomplicated, reliable use in a daily work environment, as well as for their economy and ecology. Those are for example the CLIMATE energy saving system for reduction of energy and operating costs, the CLIMATE-PRO energy saving system, which can save up to 22 kW/h, and the PERMANENT-CLEAN automatic soil removal. This tool prevents the entry of dirt in the wash tank by pumping coarse soil from the pre-wash zone into a strainer drawer by means of a sophisticated filter system. These ecological, resource-saving systems keep the operating costs low over the long run while ensuring premium wash results.

Icebound by Dr. Jerri Nielsen
I'm not a big fan of partially ghostwritten "autobiographies" written about the newsmaker of the moment and released on the quick in order to capitalize on whatever meme the media is stuck on at the moment. But Dr. Jerri Nielsen's adventures in Antarctica seemed a bit more worthwhile and interesting than the types of stories this genre usually encapsulates. [For those who don't quite remember, Dr. Jerri Nielsen was the "winter over" doctor at the South Pole station in 1999, when she discovered she had breast cancer.]
I listened to the audio book, and I have to give two warnings:
1.) The unabridged version is read by Dr. Jerri Nielsen, who is clearly not trained. The reading is monotone nearly all the way through (except when she cusses), and this can be jarring. But by the end of the second tape I was used to it.
2). The book suffers from too clever by half attempts to be poetic. I assume these are the fault of the co-author Maryanne Vollers. Luckily they never become so ludicrous as to destroy interest in the narrative.
The narrative is great. The only rough spot is at the beginning, when Dr. Jerri Nielsen has to paint a sympathetic picture of herself as a woman who went through a nasty divorce and lost custody of her children. Since the current legal system almost universally favors mothers in custody battles, and since part of the impetus for the divorce was an affair she had, Dr. Jerri Nielsen treads this ground lightly and manages to come off fairly well despite all that. Her description of her ex-husband could come across as bitter, but instead it comes across as more or less accurate (especially given his later actions after the divorce while she was in Antarctica fighting for her life).
Once she gets to Antarctica, the narrative picks up. The descriptions of the culture, scenery and politics of the South Pole are enjoyable, picturesque and engrossing. Once she discovers she has breast cancer, the narrative takes on an air of danger that makes it as gripping as any action movie.
A Highly recommended book - especially since most of us will never visit Antarctica, this seems to me the next best thing.
[I understand there was a TV movie starring Susan Sarandon based on the book, but I haven't seen it and have heard it takes quite a few liberties with the tale].

Older drivers favour further checks
Research has found that the majority of older drivers are in favour of more stringent checks of the health and suitability of over-70s to drive.
The report was conducted by the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) and Warwick Medical School, and found that the surveyed drivers and forrmer drivers were mostly in favour of further measures.
Almost 60% said drivers should retake the driving test every five years after age 70, while 85% said drivers should pass an eyesight test every five years once they have reached 70, and more than half said that drivers aged around 70 should be required to have a medical examination.
94% agreed that GPs should be required to inform patients if their medical condition may affect their fitness to drive and half agreed that a flexible licensing system should be introduced which could restrict types of roads and conditions for some older drivers.
Respondents also wanted some rules to extend further than older drivers, with 84% agreeing all drivers should pass an eyesight test every 10 years after first passing, regardless of age.
More than half of those surveyed said that they self-regulate to stay safe, by avoiding driving in challenging situations like busy traffic, after dark, in rush hour or bad weather. But most of those surveyed were happy to be on the roads. 84% of those asked rated their driving ability as 'good to excellent' and only 6% had ever considered giving up driving.
The report also found just how important driving is to this group. Some 82% said that driving was very or extremely important to them, a figure that increases for women.
The number of drivers over the age of 70 is set to double over the next 20 years, while more than one million licence holders are over age 80.
Sarah Sillars, IAM chief executive officer, said, 'Driving is about so much more than getting from A to B and nowhere is this more apparent than in this age group. It helps maintain self-esteem and freedom and is essential for combatting social isolation.
'There are certain issues that affect mature drivers more so than other groups however, such as reductions in mobility and a slowdown in reaction times. The great news from this survey is that mature drivers themselves are aware of the risks and support action to review their safety.
'Voluntary self-assessment and better education via GPs are important techniques for helping drivers understand how long they can continue to drive safely for.'

Finding the right health insurance for you and your family is challenging and time-consuming. However, when there is a medical emergency, you will be glad you have that little insurance card, which can literally be a life saver. This article provides health insurance tips that can benefit you.
Reevaluate your insurance plan during your open enrollment period to make sure you are getting the best coverage that meets your needs. Life changes quickly and today's coverage may not meet your needs due to adding someone to your family. Open enrollment offers you the ability to change vision and dental coverage, too, if you have that option.
Check your prescription coverage yearly. Sometimes, insurance companies change which medications they cover. When re-enrollment time comes around, you should always check to make sure your medication is covered. If a medication you rely on daily is not covered anymore, you may need to find a new insurance carrier.
Most likely there will be loopholes in your health insurance plan. Carefully read your policy, so that you will not feel surprised if your insurance denies a claim. Be prepared beforehand to pay for certain things out of your pocket, such as certain medicines or treatments.
When you are filling out your application with the insurance company over the phone, make sure that you are only providing them with the information that they request. Only answer the questions they directly ask you. Remember that the insurance companies are trying to make money, and anything you say can and will be used against you, in the form of raising premiums or denial of coverage.
Generic Drugs
It does not matter which type of health insurance you have, everyone will save money if they choose to get generic drugs when filling a prescription. Generic drugs contain the same active ingredients as brand name medications, and are available for most prescription medications.
Research different types of health plans, and decide on the one that best fits your needs. Different options that you are going to have are POS, PPO and HMO. They all have different options that you should look into and consider before buying from any company. You should have the choice to keep your current doctor.
Read your health insurance policy thoroughly to discover which medications are eligible for coverage. Since this prescription list changes often, you should be sure to check it when you enroll again.
If having a baby is your plans, set yourself up now with health insurance that will pay the costs from the very beginning. Don't leave this to chance; some insurance doesn't cover pregnancy, complications from pregnancy or labor.
If you are relatively healthy and do not visit the doctor often, start an HSA (Health Savings Account). Savings from premiums or deductibles go into this account and the money that is put into your HSA is not subject to state or federal taxes.
A group plan offered by your employer will always be cheaper than individual insurance, as your employer will be able to negotiate discounted rates due to buying policies in bulk. If you are self-employed, you could look into joining a trade organization that has group rates for its members.
Catastrophic Coverage
If you are unable to afford the cost of comprehensive health insurance, you may want to consider catastrophic coverage. This will give you some protection in case unforeseen things happen, such as accidents or illnesses requiring hospitalization. Catastrophic coverage is also a helpful addition to any existing health insurance because it will cover extreme circumstances that other policies might not.
You can find valuable information by reading your insurance policy. The booklet that your insurer sends will cover the ins and outs of your health insurance policy, and reading through the entire book is the best way to get an accurate picture of your coverage. This might seem boring or overwhelming, but you never know when you'll need to take advantage of particular benefits.
When purchasing health insurance, you will be surprised by the number of options you have to choose from. Research as many options as possible before signing up for health insurance. It is also imperative that you have a full understanding of what each option entails before making your final insurance policy selection.
It is now time to get health insurance. Having health insurance means that you will receive proper medical care should you ever need it. The tips in this article can make it easier to find the insurance you require.

The processes of subbing and dubbing is something that I've grown up with in a Korean-American household. Whenever my family and I watched Korean dramas, the shows would often be subbed, so I first encountered the concept of subbing rather than dubbing. However, when I began watching animations that were imported from Japan, in contrast, these were mostly dubbed into English. These were my beginning experiences to the world of subbing and dubbing.
I've continued to experience different forms of subbing and dubbing throughout my life, although these new experiences are similar to my initial ones. Whenever I watch Asian films or dramas online, these are often subbed, while in turn, whenever I watch cartoons and animations that are imported from foreign markets, these are often dubbed. All these experiences have shaped my perspective the debate about subbing and dubbing. However, there is more to the processes of subbing and dubbing than a debate about which one is better.
As the world becomes more globalized, culture becomes exchanged more frequently. Media is a part of culture, and of course, film is an integral part of media. As films also become exchanged between different nations, one of the obstacles that need to be overcome is the boundary of language. While I explore the debate about subbing and dubbing, I hope to introduce the obstructions that these processes have to overcome, and discuss what that means.
I hope you enjoy the video, and be sure to comment to let me know your opinions!

These palettes were first released to Walmart stores. I do not live near one so i waited patiently for them to come to my local Duane Read. They never did. In fact after waiting and checking for so long by the time i found them at Wallgreens (a mile walk away from my house) everything was sold out. I was able to purchase these on eBay (for about 3 time's their price in the store). While i love how exclusive and interesting limited edition collections are, people who live near slacking stores really miss out on the opportunity to get some great products.
What i will say about this formula is that they are very close to MAC Mineral Skin Finish. If you have been hesitant to purchase one from MAC or you did not feel they were worth the money these are excellent dupes. They are soft but not powdery, they leave a reflective glow with a hint of color on the skin, there is a nice range between highlighter to bronzer. Each one can work on all different skin tones but in different ways. These last for about 6 hours on the face but there is some fading.
The three colors that are offered are Rose Campaign Glow which is a very light soft cream color with soft pink swirled throughout. This can be used as a highlighter or as an all over skin finish on girls with lighter skin tones and can be used on darker skin tones if blended out with another color or used to soften a shade (such as Carnival In Rio). Rose Golden Goddess is a brown color swirled with cream and bronze. This shade applys a bit orange and would be good for olive skin tones and warm tan skin tones. This medium range shimmer palette can be used as a light bronzer on lighter skinned individuals and as a blush or highlighter on darker individuals. Lastly, Carnival In Rio is a tan swirled with dark chocolate brown and a greyed dark taupe. This color can apply like a warm bronzer on lighter skin, as a bronze or contour on medium skin, and as a bronzer blush on darker skin.

Have you ever read a book or seen a movie and wondered just what pushed the villain to be the villain? Christina Henry did just that and found out what turned Jamie into Capitan Hook. Jamie was the first lost boy that Peter Pan brought from the "other place." They were best friends, until things started to drastically change. This books makes you root for Jamie, even knowing he becomes Hook. You end up rooting for the "bad guy" to win and the "good guy" to lose. As you read this tale remember, Peter Lies! -Victoria
Henry reimagines Peter Pan in this prequel novel that tells the story of how Jamie, the first – and Peter's favorite – lost boy became Captain Hook. Lost Boy is a completely character-driven novel, and I loved getting a close look into Henry's savage, heartless Peter and her unique Jamie. As was the case with Henry's Alice, the pages turn themselves. The story itself moves at a perfect speed, giving plenty of time to flesh out characters and get the reader invested in the story. An immensely fun, dark, and twisted book.— From Kelly

Moonlight's Andre Holland to join Abrams & King's Castle Rock TV series
From where I'm sitting, it's been sort of a quiet week for ol' Hollywood. However, the entertainment gods have seen fit to throw another casting announcement log on the proverbial fire with news that MOONLIGHT actor André Holland has been cast in the lead role for Hulu's upcoming psychological-horror drama series from J.J. Abrams and Stephen King's CASTLE ROCK.
According to what I've read, CASTLE ROCK takes place in Stpehn King's multiverse. Honestly, I didn't even know that he had one of those. I suppose that, if so many of your stories unfold in and around the same place, your characters and themes are bound to cross paths at some point. As it turns out, CASTLE ROCK is named after a fictional town in King's native Maine. As suggested by the producers, CASTLE ROCK combines the mythological scale and intimate character storytelling of King's best-loved works, weaving an epic saga of darkness and light, played out on a few square miles of Maine woodland.
For CASTLE ROCK, André Holland will portray Henry, a death row attorney with a unique and quizzical history in Castle Rock, Maine. The show is expected to go into production some time this year, with Sam Shaw & Dustin Thomason developing the show for television, and will act as executive producers along with J.J. Abrams, Ben Stephenson and Liz Glotzer.
I swear, it's like the 80s all over again, for King. An adaptation of THE DARK TOWER starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey will be moseying on into theaters on August 4, 2017, meanwhile, a rebooted version of the 1990 IT miniseries will float into cinemas on September 7, 2017. I'd say that Stephen King is doing just fine for himself, these days, wouldn't you? That being said, there's also a great deal of expectations riding on each of these King-related projects. Here's hoping that they all deliver the goods, as it is my opinion that these stories are more than worthy of kick ass silver and small screen presentations.
|Extra Tidbit:
|I've actually been to Stephen King's house, well, houses, really. He owns two properties that are connected to one another via a tunnel-like link in the basement section of each estate. I caught him carrying groceries from his car while I was in Maine for a doctor's appointment. He's a real nice dude.

Louisville, KY (Sports Network) - Trainer Bob Baffert sent out three-year-old colt Liaison for a six-furlong workout Wednesday morning at Churchill Downs in preparation for the 138th Kentucky Derby on May 5.
With Shaun Bridgmohan in the saddle, Liaison covered the three-quarters of a mile in 1:12 4/5. The work came one day after the colt galloped 1 1/2-miles at Churchill.
"I liked his gallop yesterday," Baffert said. "He's a very lazy worker and today I sent him out with no company and Shaun did an excellent job with him."
Liaison, who will be ridden by Martin Garcia in the Run for the Roses, had a difficult time this year at Santa Anita Park. He lost his rider in the stretch during the Robert B. Lewis Stakes, finished fourth in the San Felipe and sixth in the Santa Anita Derby.
"He did not like Santa Anita at all. It was too hard for him," Baffert said. "This track is a lot softer. He still has a lot to prove, but he is training well and looks well."
Baffert's other Derby horse, Bodemeister, walked the shedrow Wednesday following a workout Tuesday morning.
"He came out of the work well and will go back to the track in the morning," Baffert said. "I liked the way he sat off that other horse in the work, very controlled."
Bodemeister won the Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park over stablemate Secret Circle on April 14. Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith was aboard the colt for the win and will return to ride him in the Kentucky Derby. Smith guided Giacomo to victory in the 2005 Run for the Roses.
Blue Grass Stakes winner Dullahan galloped 1 1/2-miles Wednesday at Churchill with regular exercise rider Faustino Aguilar. The colt is trained by Dale Romans who won last year's Preakness with Shackleford.
Also taking a 1 1/2-mile gallop was Tampa Bay Derby champ Prospective. The colt is trained by Mark Casse and will be ridden in the Derby by Luis Contreras.
Over at the Trackside Training Center, 2011 juvenile champion Hansen galloped 1 1/2-miles. Trained by Mike Maker, Hansen will have Ramon Dominguez riding in the Run for the Roses.

Hellos Everyone!
I decided to do something super crazy today! I am singing karaoke! I know that's a scary thought, hearing Quiggles sing. Of course, I can't sing karaoke without the perfect outfit on. I picked up the Gigi outfit from Innocence this week and I love it. Gigi comes with the necklace, top, jeans, and shoes. I really can't say enough about this outfit. Each time I start to say I love the jeans, I get distracted by the shoes. It's just crazy how amazing this outfit is! For all of us mesh body lovers, this outfit is compatible with Belleza, Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Maitreya, Physique, Slink, and Venus. So lots of options to choose. I of course also have to show off this new hair from Tameless. This is the Ava...

Good Evening!
I am in the spotlight tonight working on this new dance. While I took a break to watch everyone else, I thought it would be the perfect time to show you all some of these awesome pieces! I picked up this amazing camo outfit from Dafnis. I love that this outfit shows off a bit more skin while still being classy. But, one of my favorite thing about this outfit are the color options. There are 10 different color options for each pieces of this outfit. You can change the texture on the skirt, skirt straps, bra, and the bra straps.Of course, you need to know what mesh bodies you can wear this with! This outfit is compatible with Maitreya, Slink, Slink Hourglass, and TMP.
When I first put this outfit on, I knew it needed som...

ZF Develops Autonomous Algorithm
German supplier ZF says it has developed a cloud-based algorithm that will allow vehicles, infrastructure and even pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists with smartphones to communicate with each other thereby reducing the potential for accidents. Called X2Safe, the program is designed to work with car-to-car, car-to-infrastructure and even people-to-people via smartphone applications.
According to ZF, pedestrians, cycles and motorcyclists are particularly at risk on today's roads and are involved at about half of the 1.25 million deaths caused by traffic accidents worldwide. The ZF algorithm provides a means for this linked-in technology to communicate to all who share the road and could pave the way for quick adoption of autonomous or self-driven vehicles.
Warnings and active intervention
This advanced algorithm has the capability to individually detect the behavior of all road users and in turn can provide warnings of unsafe situations and can go as far as to actively intervene to prevent collisions. As envisioned by ZF, the warnings would be sent to drivers in cars as well as to pedestrians for cyclists through smartphones or smartwatches. The program can also be adapted to integrate with vehicle safety systems like automatic braking to avoid an accident. The ZF algorithm also has the ability to process road-user information as well as assess potential danger zones, such as roads with poor visibility or bus stops.
Also: Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards of 2017
"Safety is the heart of autonomous driving," explained Malgorzata Wiklinska, head of ZF's think tank in charge of developing the algorithm. "Our technology could soon help benefit all road users."
ZF also is developing mechanical components that can sense the environment in which they operate as part of an overarching philosophy that the supplier calls See—Think—Act which will lead to complete systems that make vehicles and other road users aware of each other's presence. The X2Safe intelligent networking of data and mechanics means that vehicles will not only be able to detect potential dangers, but also be able to make split-second decisions to avoid accidents.

Best. Anniversary. Shoot. Ever. @mylynwoodphoto captured her grandparents' 63rd anniversary, gifting them with the wedding photos they never had. "My favorite thing about this photo is how raw and authentic it was. My grandparents lived through WWII—losing children and immigrating to the States from the Philippines, and yet, when I told her to take a moment and just think of their years together, this is what happened. Just a sweet reverence . . . of her husband and their life." — Mylyn Wood

We returned to one of our favourite mountain-top locations today for the start of a new Confidence through the Camera workshop at Croeserw. Here we're looking at all sorts of things that make this part of the Afan valley awesome.
Our participants said they had very little experience with the camera but this really doesn't show. The attention to detail in their photographs is really well done for these naturally talented beginners. We looked at themes of nature, textures, transport, and people; as well as considering things that made us happy.
Getting more confident means not dwelling on the negatives. Sometimes dwelling on positives can help to restore a happy balance in your soul. Also biscuits. Biscuits have the same restorative effect! More mountain adventures next week when we'll be looking deeper into the local landscape.

|A wide sidewalk called the Malecon runs along the Bay at Cienfuegos
After 5 days together in Isla Mujeres on our boat, Larry & Christine and ourselves headed off for two weeks in Cuba. It was an easy trip to the airport at Cancun via ferry and taxi, and our flight went out on time. Our first night in Havana was lovely - dinner outside with an almost full moon beside one of the beautiful squares in the old section. Our casa particular was very comfortable and the host arranged a good early breakfast before our taxi picked us up early Saturday morning.
After a 3+ hour drive he brought us right to our next casa. Cienfuegos is only 200 years old (compared to Havana and Trinidad which are 500) but it is quite charming - the only city in Cuba founded by the French - immigrants from Bordeaux and Louisiana. It was an important trading port and a battle site in the Spanish American War. Hurricane Dennis visited here in 2005 with winds of 144 miles per hour and gusts up to 177 miles per hour.
We walked all over the city. The anchorage and marina are on the bay with the beautiful historic Yacht Club but the water is rather disgusting - smelly and muddy. There were cruising type boats tied up there but the guards wouldn't let us on the docks so we couldn't talk to anyone. Unfortunately Christine had a stomach virus which really kicked in that afternoon and needed to stay at our Casa for the rest of the day. In the evening Scott, Larry and I walked down to the central square and had dinner with another great band playing. Afterwards we had ice cream at the famous national chain of ice cream stores called Coppelia and got taken. The water presented the bill of $2.50 each ice cream (not fancy or large portions) and we paid it, in C.U.Cs, which was all we had. He took the money and didn't say anything. It turns out that the charge was local pesos - about $.10 each. BIG tip!
Our host family there were really great people and we enjoyed their company a lot; Elena, Chichi and their son Javier. Their home is over 100 years old with two story high rooms with decorated ceilings and pillars! The next morning Christine was feeling much better and we all enjoyed an excellent breakfast before walking around the city. Fortunately we came upon the Cienfuegos Symphony Orchestra having their weekly concert in the park and thoroughly enjoyed it. Music of every kind is everywhere in Cuba. Before Americans had 5+ hours of TV a day as a steady diet, they too were musicians and entertained each other.
Our hosts arranged for a taxi driver to take us to Trinidad at 11 am - an easy 1.5 hour drive at first through the foothills of the mountains and then along the coast. Here we had two nights in our own apartment - 3 stories high with two terraces and a view over the city to the ocean. It's very attractive and right in the oldest section of the town - but rather noisy at night! There are bands at every restaurant and bar and they are all good. I've been eating too much for sure. More on Trinidad later.

the dining room.,
|The ceiling!
|A few of the houses across the street - we loved the flag
decorated terrace on the last one.
|Another lovely casa
|Our own Casa Particular, run by Chichi and Elena with

|Horse drawn carriages are everywhere outside of Havana
(and some even in the city). These are not for the tourists,
although a few are, but transportation for the locals.
|Arcades line the main street and everywhere
there is beautiful wrought iron work.
|The main street has a tree lined center park down the entire

|We all loved these cars and cameras made of

Tip! Ice Dam Prevention!
What is an Ice Dam? When a large amount of snow accumulates on a roof, heat loss from insufficient insulation and poor attic ventilation can melt the snow from the underside. As the water reaches the roof edge, where it's colder, it forms a dam. The dammed water backs up under the roofing and leaks into your home. If you have suffered an Ice Dam, please check out our Tips for what to do when you have an Ice Dam.
Ice Dams can be damaging to your roof, gutters, insulation and drywall. Most times, an ice dam goes undetected until there is significant structural or Water damage, even Mold. Here are some ways to prevent ice dams:
• Keep gutters clean
• Flash around chimneys
• Reduce direct sources of heat in the attic
• Increase attic floor insulation
• Grills should only be used outside:
• Properly ventilate roof, attic and eaves
• If doing work on your roof, make sure to install Ice & Water Shield properly
• Remove accumulated snow and ice from the edges of your roof being careful not to damage the shingles
Should you have a water issue as a result of an ice dam or other cause, please don't hesitate to Contact Us!

"A dark matter relic from muon anomalies"
Speaker: Cédric Delaunay, LAPTh
When: October 20, 2017 (Fri), 03:00PM to 04:00PM (add to my calendar)
Location: PRB 595
This event is part of the HET Seminar Series.
We show that the recently reported anomalies in b→sμ+μ− transitions, as well as the long-standing gμ−2 discrepancy, can be addressed simultaneously by a new massive abelian gauge boson with loop-induced coupling to muons. Such a scenario typically leads to a stable dark matter candidate with a thermal relic density close to the observed value. Dark matter in our model couples dominantly to leptons, hence signals in direct detection experiments lie well below the current sensitivity. The LHC, in combination with indirect detection searches, can test this scenario through distinctive signatures with muon pairs and missing energy.

Public Broadcasting receives only 15% of their annual budget from the federal government (Read: Your tax dollars)
However that 15% amounted in 2012 to just shy of a half billion; $445,000,000
Meanwhile, thanks to the poor business practices employed by PBS they failed to cut themselves in for any royalty from "collateral sales". (Muppets)
Thus they broadcast what amounts to a Muppet infomercial while the late Jim Henson died leaving an estate of over 90 million.
If you don't feel short changed by all of this, you're not paying attention.....but we're all paying for Big Bird.

Joey sent our mom this link of a video from YouTube of a super duper talented Border Collie named Gin. If you have not seen it before, I'd recommend you to watch the video here.. Gin is so talented!! It seems like Gin's got a sense of rythmn and can dance real well. Hmmmm... so how come the Border Collie that I have at home is sooooooo different from Gin??
3rd August - It marked the first year anniversary that my (not so) little sister, Hershey, came home to us. Dad saved Hershey from a pet store and Hershey was his birthday present to mom to cheer her up and keep her busy after they lost little Lucas. Dad also thought that I may like a sibling to play with, so that was how we ended up with Hershey.
The past 1 year really went by too quickly, but I'm proud that we survived the first 365 days... Now Hershey is an integral part of our family and despite all the headaches, destructions and nightmares that she'd caused, we cannot imagine not having her in our family.
We love you so much and feel blessed to have you in our family, Hershey Girl!
4th August - Yesterday was mom's 32nd birthday. Sadly for the 2nd consecutive year, there isn't any 'celebration'. It just did not feel right to be celebrating anything so soon after losing little Chloe. The night before, mom went to my Godma's (Scuba's mom) house for dinner and sweet Aunty S (Helios' mom) surprised mom with a lovely and yummy birthday cake.
Somehow mom leaked a lot yesterday... she said something about how she 'lost' more than she 'gained' during the past 2 years... **pause**.. Correction, although she did lose 2 babies, there's something she did gain... a lot of weight!! (Better run and hide before mom finds out)...

The Boston Women's Memorial...
The Boston Women's Memorial consists of three bronze sculptures – a tribute to the lives of three women who made important contributions to Boston's rich history: presidential advisor Abigail Adams, women's rights activist Lucy Stone and poet Phillis Wheatley.
Couldn't think of three finer more female looking specimens to reproduce the memorial than Luke, John and Chris really!
To the right we find Luke as Phillis Wheatley!
Gracing the middle Chris becomes Lucy Stone!
And finally, holding his twig proudly to our left, John is a deadringer for Abigail Adams!

Crossbow Cracks...
Hiya. My apologies for going AWOL once again. Unfortunately I am going to be away from this Wednesday also for around ten days on holiday, but, rest assured, I'll post up some statue snaps between now and then, and will be also collecting some more fine examples of the art of statue imitation when I head off on the travels.
Continuing to alternate between Boston and Stockholm, tonight we return to the Swedish capital. Housemate John had his quick wits about him to use his scarf when imitating this statue of a Swedish chap loading up a crossbow. Unfortunately, he wasn't so sensible when he immediately put his scarf back on, not realising that his shoes had been walking on cold ice all day and hence a cold neck was his reward!

Impersonating Paisley...
Continuing another very occasional series of Celebrities Stood By Their Statue (previous celebs include Bert and Frankie Dettori), tonight we introduce Ian Paisley, stood by a statue of Ian Paisley, although I'll leave it to you to decide whether he is deserving of a 'celebrity' tag.

Three Is The Magic Number...
We sail across a couple of oceans back to Boston, Massachusetts, this evening. Given that there are still quite a few statues to post from this picturesque city, I thought I would post not one, not two, but three up this evening, each featuring the remarkable imitating exploits of friend Luke, whom, by the look of his attire, managed to Stand By his Boston statue three times in one day. Three cheers for that I say!
The first statue features an Adams, although sadly not related. Samuel Adams is highly thought of in Boston for his role in organising what became known as the Boston Tea Party, in which he and others attempted to prevent cargoes of cheap tea being imported in to the city by boarding the ships and destroying the cargoes. I must say this is highly irregular behaviour of an Adams, as yours truly and the rest of the family Adams over here like nothing more than to settle down to a nice cuppa tea and a sit down, preferably with a tasty slice of cake.
One of my favourite from the Boston collection is this one featuring Luke riding a bench (using far more grace than myself imitating St George a couple of days ago). A noteworthy effort with the headgear it must be said. Looking at the name on the statue I think the man on the horse is Paul Revere, so revered in the Beastie Boys song of the same name, and also part of the Boston Tea raider gang.
Last, but not least, we see Luke having a sit down and a read, alongside a statue of someone have a sit down and a read.

Dragon Slaying Difficulties...
This week I am going to continue to mix it up with photos from Stockholm and Boston. There is a delightful old town area in Stockholm, known as the Gamla Stan, which full of little cobbled streets and coffee/cake shops. In one of the small plazas you'll stumble upon this statue of a gothic looking knight brandishing his huge sword, while perched upon an evil looking armoured horse, slaying a dragon. In contrast, in the bottom right hand corner of the photo you'll find a cowardly looking bloke called John dressed up in several layers because of the cold, waving his hands around like a bit of a plank, while perched upon a small wall slaying at thin air.
All in front of a fairly large crowd of bemused onlookers. It was a difficult statue to imitate this one I can tell you…
By all accounts, the knight in question is Saint George, who we know over here as the patron saint of England. Unfortunately, I can't find a link between George and Sweden. According to Wikipedia, the legend of Saint George slaying the dragon used to be considered factual, but this belief has been progressively abandoned over time!
As it was a beutiful ornate looking statue, I took a closer photo, which I have posted below.

Imitating Inflatables...
Having not posted myself for a while until a couple of days ago, it also strikes me that it has been a bit of time since I bigged up the Ultimate Olympian. So here's a couple of shots of the Ultimate Olympian stood (well sat actually) by his huge great inflatable statue on a bike. These pix were taken just before he was about to take on the London Triathlon in August last year. A moment of calm before the impending storm if you like. Bravo to the Ultimate Olympian!
If anyone else out there has imitated any huge great inflatable things then please send in the evidence!

Swedish Statue Sisters...
Looking at the posts over the last couple of months, it strikes me that you haven't seen a picture of my ugly mug since early November, and so this evening I'm gonna be a little self indulgent and post this one from a recent trip to Stockholm, Sweden.
Having a first walk about the delightful city centre of Stockholm with housemate John, this was one of the first things that caught our site, so, naturally, we had to get our imitating hats on. And what a fine statue it was to imitate too, featuring a couple of naked ladies. As you can see it was a bit on the chilly side to strip off, but above I managed to conjure up a makeshift bust by shoving a jumper under my coat, while John below also manages to create a lovely fake chest, as well as utilising his bag into a makeshift bucket. Beautiful.
Sadly, I can't really find much info about the statue on the interweb, although once again I took a cheeky snap of the plaque adorning the statue. I do believe that Systrarna is Swedish for sisters, but that is about all I can reveal…

Hail The Return Of Flat Capped Man...
Evening all. Quick post tonight…
Last year we had a couple of sightings of the mysterious enigma that is the flat capped man statue (here and here), and tonight it gives me much pleasure to say that he returns! The latest sighting is in New Zealand. Thanks To Kev from Oxford for sending this one in, and, although he hasn't quite mastered the imitation, he was smoking a fag at the time, so we have to forgive him for that.

Boston Baseball Brilliance...
Prior to Christmas I began to publish a few statues from Luke, Chris and housemate John's trip to Boston last September, and we continue with this humungous series this evening. One of the main reasons they travelled out to Boston was to catch the famous baseball team – the Boston Red Sox – in action.
Outside the stadium stands this great statue of Ted Williams, presenting a baseball cap to a small child. This is quite superbly re-enacted by the athletic Luke, stood presenting a cap to Chris. I could go into details in to how good a player was and why he was making this presentation, but is all described on the plaque adorning the statue, which the guys took the time out to photograph, and is reproduced below.

Honeymoon Homage...
Tonight we pay the utmost homage to Rebekah and husband Dave, who spent some time while on their honeymoon in San Francisco to imitate some statues. We here at statue towers are mightily honoured that they should take the time out to do this. The picture below features Rebekah at the Asian Art Museum, while the above picture features a massive head. Top work!
Voting continues on the Statue Of The Year 2005 polls, but I am wondering whether there is just a little bit of tactical voting going on (with a grand total of 24 votes on the first poll, and a whopping 365 votes on the second as I write)!
With hindsight, it may have been better to limit people to one vote, but then how are you are supposed to pick just the one statue when there is such a fine array to choose from?! Feel free to continue voting anyway, and perhaps I'll publish the winning pictures once again.
Statue Of The Year 2005 Part 1
Statue Of The Year 2005 Part 2
It would appear that I have got this internet poll malarkey sussed now, so expect much more polling fun in the future…

Stand By Your Supersized Sword...
Big thanks to David Getty for sending in tonight's snap of himself brandishing a massive sword! Personally, I dream most evenings about brandishing such a sword. The monument is found in Washington DC and is a memorial to those who fought in both the World Wars.
Further to last night's shambolic effort of attempting to set up a poll to vote for your statue of the year, 2005, I have had another go this evening. Let's hope this works a bit better. Unfortunately, I am only allowed to put ten pictures into a poll, and, given that it is impossible to limit the yearly poll to ten, I have set up two polls containing 20 of my favourite pictures of the year. Feel free to vote for as many as you wish*. Just click on the links below.
Statue Of The Year 2005 Part 1
Statue Of The Year 2005 Part 2
* Apologies to Ballerina, who, along with myself, for some reason appeared to be the only folks who were able to vote on last night's poll, but I have had to reset the count, so hope you are able to vote again.

Where Have All The Statues Gone?
I hear you ask?!
Greetings and happy 2006 to all who stumble upon this website from time to time. I hope you all had a lovely festive period. I took a total break from all things computers, which was nice, and so have only just returned to the blogsphere.
First of all, I have decided to make an important alteration to the Stand By Your Statue mandate. You may recall that a few months ago, I decided that a vague plan for this site was to obtain a picture of someone stood by their statue in every capital city on this planet. I have since decided that this was a slightly foolish idea, and so have settled upon revising this to simply posting a photo of a statue and imitator in just every country of the world…
Whilst I am here I thought I'd share a few statistics from Stand By Your Statue in 2005. Given that the vague plan was to keep this going for six months or so, I am kind of surprised to still be here almost one year later, so thanks again to all who have commented and contributed. There are still many more statues and statistics in the archives too….
And so, the vital statistics!
Number of countries covered: 24 (out of 192, and so we are a whopping 12.5% nearer to achieving the above goal!)
Most popular statue countries (in order): United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Brazil.
Number of statues posted: 140
Number of Australian Big Things posted: 2
Number of Monkey statues: 8
Number of Lion/Tiger statues (Grrrrr): 5
Finally, I have attempted to set up a couple of polls so that you can vote for your favourite statue moment of the year. These contain twenty of the finest statues as picked by me. Feel free to vote for as many statues as you want. Hopefully it'll work!
Statue Of The Year Part 1
Statue Of The Year Part 2
Oh, and this statue (or rather) non-statue was found in the centre of Stockholm, Sweden, where I was fortunate to visit in December. It wasn't me who stole it before you ask...

Order and preview at https://freshhatstightbeats.com/album/the-thread. Only the first 11 tracks are included on the vinyl version of The Thread.
The sound of The Thread is a return to form for Fresh Hats Tight Beats drawing much more on the beat-centric sound of their first 3 albums while still bringing together a culmination of all their musical experiments into the scope of one full length album.

In 2017, we unexpectedly lost our dear friend and bandmate, Matt Nigro. This new album, The Thread, is a tribute album to our fallen homie. Fresh Hats Tight Beats came together with many more of Matt's friends to create a party album of tunes that would convey Matt's carefree positive energy through the music.

Or maybe not. I came across this programming challenge through means I'm not quite comfortable sharing on the interwebs. So disregard the origin of this challenge, and just put those spare brain cells toward the challenge and my answer.
The challenge:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Write a program that assigns products to sites in a way that maximizes the scores over
the set of customers. Each customer can only have one product and each
product can only be offered to one customer. Your program should run on the command
line and take as input two newline separated files, the first containing the
names of the product and the second containing the names of the customers. The output should
be the total SS and a matching between customers and products. You do not need to
worry about malformed input, but you should certainly handle both upper and lower
case names.
The algorithm for generating the number is as follows:
If the length of the product name is even, the base score is the number of vowels in the customer's name multiplied by 1.5.
If the length of the product name is odd, the base score is the number of consonants in the customer's name multiplied by 1.
If the length of the product name shares any common factors (besides 1) with the length of the customer's name, the score is increased by 50% above the base score.
My answer:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128

Thoughts about the code
Before I posted this code here, I actually had the matrix generation done with two for loops. Changing it to the list comprehension that is in the code reduced the code size by a good eight lines or so, increased the readability of that section of the program, and gave me a bit of a speed up to boot. I will remember this little trick for the future.
When I was in school I took the requisite algorithms course, but that was mostly about sorting and some other things. I don't recall them going over a "duplicate removal" algorithm. For this part of the program I believe my program runs correctly though I feel like it's ugly code. Doing the removal of duplicates with two indexes made sense to me for removing the duplicates in line, but I feel like this could be optimized more. I'm totally open to comments on all of my code, but I would really appreciate it if people would focus more on that aspect of the program. Also, if anyone knows of any "duplicate removal" style algorithms, or places where I could learn more about them, I would be very grateful.

Books for teen readers about SEX: sexual decision-making, sexual preferences, sexual identity, birth control decisions, abstinence, and personal responsibility. Do these books belong in your library? Decide for yourself!
Thursday, July 19, 2012
Thea considers herself savvy and spunky, but she throws all that away when she starts dating Will, who "hooks" her with his good looks and charm. Their love is strong, the sex is fantastic...and then, Thea gets pregnant. The early-abortion plan (endorsed by parents, friends, and Will) is abandoned when Thea discovers that she loves her unborn child too much for abortion or adoption. Plan #2 centers on everyone supporting Thea and baby Ian (and Will too), physically, emotionally and financially. There is a bit of squeaking about this, but eventually, everyone falls in line because they love Thea and the baby is adorable. Thea's plans for the future include spending more time with her formerly-estranged dad, making bundles of money by designing the latest crochet fashion merchendise, and eventually getting back together with Will.
Realistic? Uh, no.
Maybe that's how folks do things in The Big City, but in my small town, parents of unwed parents don't hand over $10,000 (each!) as starter money on top of the rent-controlled apartment they finance for the teens and little Ian. Thea's narrative voice rescues this story from the round file: she is spunky, and she stands up for the ideas and the people she values, including herself.
Not a first purchase, but don't overlook this title if budgets can support it. There is on-page (but not graphic) sex, minor cussing, and some underage drinking, but nowhere near as gratuitous as Gossip Girl and that ilk. Ages 14 and up.
Labels: birth control, body parts, cussing (mild), nekkidness, on-page sex, parents, pregnancy
