Note: I am descended from William (1) Patrick and will be following that line the most. I will include information about James Knox (2) Patrick and his descendents when I find something interesting (and there is), but that branch is not my main interest. William and James spent most of their adult business lives intertwined in various lumber and shipping interests and I will follow that in this narrative. For information about their other interests and life events, you will find that on their individual pages (when I publish them). (See explanation of numbers.)
James (1) and Nancy Knox Patrick, Scotch Presbyterians, came to the United States about 1800 from County Antrim in Ireland. They settled in Birmingham, PA, then a little hamlet across the Monongahela River from Pittsburgh.
They had five children, only four of whom reached adulthood. Their first son, Hugh, died before he was a year old. James Knox (2) was born July 17, 1808. Jane was born October 28, 1810. William (1) was born February 14, 1814, and Mary Ann was born June 27, 1816.
James (1) was a master stone mason. He worked on many government and military projects in the growing city of Pittsburgh. Around 1826, he worked on the Western Penitentiary and got into business difficulties resulting in losing all his money in 1828. James Knox (2) was already in business building furnaces for local glass works and the incipient steel industry. William (1) had to quit school. His first job, or at least an early job, was as a cabin boy on a river boat. One day, he was told to cook a pot of beans for the crew. He filled a pot with beans and water to soak. The result was a galley full of beans! Eventually, William started working in the office of one of the glass works in Birmingham, where he learned about business.
Family lore has it that William met and became friends with Abraham Lincoln while both were working on the river. Lincoln took two flatboat journeys to New Orleans, one in 1828 and one in 1831. It is possible that they met.
James(1) died December 13, 1832 and Nancy passed away nine years later on December 18, 1841. Both of them were buried in Birmingham or Pittsburgh. In 1863, the cemetery was dismantled and their son, James Knox (2), had them moved to the family plot in the Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis. (Plots are still available for any family member who wishes be buried in St. Louis!)
In 1835, James Knox started keel-boating from Pittsburgh to New Orleans. This involved loading iron, glass, and general merchandise onto the boat in the spring and taking it down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, stopping at various towns, villages, and plantations to sell the goods. Once in New Orleans, James sold the remaining goods and the boat. He bought sugar and shipped it back to Pittsburgh on a steamboat. A year later, in the fall, James took several coal boats down the Ohio and Mississippi selling coal and boats as he made his way to New Orleans. These kinds of trips took several months to complete. He probably did both kinds of trips several times and was successful at making money at it.
Around 1840, William and his brother James went into business together. The brothers gained a contract to supply the new St. Louis Gas Works with coal. They loaded the coal on barges in Pittsburgh and floated it down the Ohio River. The coal was transferred to other barges at Cairo, IL for towing up the Mississippi to St. Louis.
William married Eliza Jane McCall on February 29, 1844 in Stubenville, Ohio. Eliza's family had also lived in Birmingham, PA., but had moved to Ohio before she was born.
William and Eliza moved to St. Louis after their marriage so that William could take charge of the lumber business that he and James had started. William's name and the name of their lumber business begins to show up in St. Louis business directories in 1847. James remained in Pittsburgh to buy the lumber and Williams sold it in St. Louis.
The brothers had received a credit draft for $50,000 signed by Judge Griswold E. Warner of Pittsburgh. But the lumber business was a success from the start and they never had to use the draft. They sent Judge Warner his share of the profits in the business every year, until they returned the draft to Judge Warner after several years.
The first lumber yard was located at the corner of Main and Carr Streets. The lumber was rafted down the Ohio River to Cairo, IL where it was loaded onto barges and towed up the Mississippi to St. Louis. In 1846 the lumber yard moved to Main and Biddle Streets. William and James also bought half interest in another lumber yard at 11th and Market Streets under the name of Patrick, Morrison & Co.
In 1848, the business had expanded so rapidly, they purchased a steamboat of their very own to go up and down the Mississippi. James moved his family to St. Louis and took personal command of the boat. He also carried general freight and passengers to points in between St. Louis and Cairo. The steamer business increased and they bought three other boats. They ran the "Union," "Tobacco Plant," "Whirl Wind," and "Shelby."
The opening of the Illinois and Michigan canal later in 1848 started to shift the lumber business to Chicago instead of Pittsburgh and soon the steamboats were sold off and James moved to Chicago (leaving his family in St. Louis) to establish the lumber buying part of the business. He remained in Chicago until 1865.
In 1856 the brothers joined with A. A. Ladd and John Keller to start a planing mill (takes lumber from sawmills and finishes it for use in building) under the name of Ladd, Patrick, & Co. at the corner of Main and Brier?. The mill was destroyed by fire in 1859. The brothers then bought a mill at the corner of 13th and O'Fallon called the Mississippi Planing Mill Company.
In 1860 the firm of James and William Patrick established a lumber yard at the corner of Broadway and Hampstead Street. This business continued until 1875,when William retired from business.

Co-founded in 2007 by Charlotte Genevier and Alex Benzer, SociaEngine (Webligo, LLC) began as a provider of white label software to help businesses build their own branded, interest-driven social networks.
At a time when people were still deciding if Facebook was just for kids, Alex and Char recognized the difference between the social graph (connecting people who know each other) and the interest graph (connecting people with similar interests). They focused on the latter.
Within the first four years, SocialEngine had acquired nearly 10,000 customers leveraging their SocialEngine PHP product to power large online communities for the likes of Apple, Electronic Arts, MasterCard, NASA and Shell.
Entering the Boulder, Colo., Techstars accelerator program in 2011, SocialEngine recognized an opportunity to serve a broader range of customers through cloud-based technologies. The following year, SocialEngine Cloud was released as a subscription-based solution for individuals and companies desiring to instantly launch scalable, online communities without the added responsibility of hosting and server administration.
At the same time, James Clark and Jason Cormier, co-founders of Boulder-based digital marketing agency, Room 214, were in their fifth year of helping companies use social media to connect with customers and advocates online.
They listened to many brands asking common questions: How do we facilitate online conversations? How can we give greater place to people already inspired about our brand and related subject matter? Will we have to pay Facebook to communicate to the community we've already invested in there? Can we create our own community as part of our social media effort?
In response, Room 214 evaluated numerous community platforms, scripts and plugins. SocialEngine was a unique leader, having two separate product teams (one for SocialEngine PHP and the other for SocialEngine Cloud), in addition to a worldwide network of third-party SocialEngine experts.
Room 214 developers began experimenting with SocialEngine Cloud for one of its clients in 2013, starting and growing a branded community of over 100,000 members within the first year. New ideas about where the platform could go continued emerging, and Room 214's acquisition of SocialEngine kicked-off at the beginning of 2014.
With new vision and inspiration, the mission of the company remains as its original co-founders intended: connecting people with shared passions and interests everywhere. Stay up to date on all happenings and product updates via the SocialEngine blog or contact us here.
1. Growth of the new SocialEngine Experts area: a.) Providing greater customer access to a range of reliable experts for custom setup, design, development, hosting and marketing resources. b.) Providing greater visibility for SocialEngine experts worldwide.
2. Growth of SocialEngine Certified Marketplace: a.) Providing greater customer access to a broad range of certified plugins. b.) Providing greater visibility for SocialEngine certified plugins worldwide.
3. Execution of new SocialEngine PHP and SocialEngine Cloud Roadmaps: a.) Updated framework to improve speed and scalability for SocialEngine PHP. b.) International language support and further API development to better support third-party plugins and mobile-friendly themes for SocialEngine Cloud.

Social Security Disability Insurance was enacted to provide financial assistance for anyone unable to work for at least a year due to accident, injury or medical condition. According to the Social Security Administration, a disability is any condition that is severe enough to prevent a person from working to earn a livable income. For many, this is the difference between maintaining the lifestyle to which you've become accustomed and being unable to provide for yourself and your family.
To be eligible to receive either Social Security Disability Insurance benefits and/or to qualify for Supplemental Security Income benefits, the following must apply to your situation:
The Social Security Disability process can be frustrating, complicated and lengthy. Claimants in South Carolina with experienced legal representation have a better chance of receiving benefits with fewer appeals than those without representation. The lawyers at the Stanley Law Firm have the experience and knowledge to appeal your claim.

Here's a pop quiz about contemporary advertising: When that luscious Swedish model was urging you to "Take it off, take it all off," what product was she pushing? The half-clad young woman kneeling at the edge of the brook represents what brand of soft drink? Which country does the sultry bathing beauty standing thigh-high in the ocean want you to visit?
Two university professors will be surprised if you remember: Noxzema shave cream, White Rock beverages and Jamaica. They have recently completed an experiment to determine whether sex in such advertising really sells. Their answer: usually only itself. "People remember a nude," says M. Wayne Alexander, 39, chairman of the business administration department of Moorhead State University in Minnesota, "but not the product she's selling." Adds his collaborator, psychologist Ben Judd, 35, "The point is that advertisers have to be very careful not to distract their audiences."
The two academicians designed test ads for fictional but commonplace products (like radios), using professional models in the buff. They showed the ads plus others with pastoral backgrounds to 181 male students (and similar ads later to women).
The men liked the nudes, the women didn't, but neither was successful at recalling the product being advertised. In the first study, for example, about 40 percent of the group totally forgot its name. By contrast, everybody remembered it in the pastoral ads.
The nudes in the test were all women "because male nudity still shocks us," Alexander explains, "and we might get a reaction based on pure shock. We're taught that male nudes are not pretty."
Unofficial reaction from feminists to the study has been mixed. Some cheered, saying, "Tell the world that nudity doesn't work," Alexander recalls. "Others said we shouldn't even be doing the research." The morality of using women's bodies to sell products isn't the issue, he insists. "Models do it voluntarily and are well paid. It's a real question whether the advertising industry is exploiting them or vice versa." The ideal ad, he believes, would have no people at all, since they are distracting, clothed or not. There is an obvious exception: "People products," he says, "need people in the ads."
A Texas native, Alexander earned bachelor's and master's degrees in business at California State University at Fresno, then took his doctorate at the University of Illinois. He acknowledges that companies and ad agencies may already have done research on sex in advertising, but points out that "it is client-directed, not academically based, and the results are not available to the public." Colleagues have been helpful in supplementing Alexander's collection of girlie ads (often with a smile). His wife, Carol, a medical technician, found a prize specimen: a three-dimensional promotion poster of voluptuous Dolly Parton.
Alexander and Judd will next try to design an ad using nudity that is effective. They believe the product name should appear over the breast area, about one-third of the way down the page, with the model's hand directing the reader to additional ad copy.
Regardless of the success the two professors have, Alexander says what a model is or isn't wearing is unlikely to affect his own buying habits. Is he academically immune? The answer is more practical. "My wife," he explains, "does most of the shopping."

Pre-shelling parameters and conditions that influence the whole kernel out-turn of steam-boiled cashew nuts
This work investigates the effect of moisture content (MC), nut size distribution and steam exposure time (SET) on the whole kernel out turn (WKO) of cashew nuts during shelling using a 3 x 5 x 4 factorial experiment. Three nut sizes: small (18–22 mm), medium (23–25 mm) and large (26–35 mm); five levels of MC: 8.34%, 11.80%, 12.57%, 15.40%, 16.84% (wet basis) and four levels of steam exposure time (SET): 28, 30, 32, and 34 min were considered. Nuts were conditioned with warm water to the desired moisture content of 8.34%,11.80%, 12.57%, 15.40% and 16.84% (wb); and steam-boiled at 700 kPa for 28, 30,32, and 34 min. The pre-treated nuts were shelled using a hand-operated cashew nuts shelling machine. The results showed that the single effect of MC, steam exposure time (SET) or nut size distribution is not enough for estimating WKO; it is rather by an interaction of these parameters. The optimum WKO of steam-boiled nuts was 91.74%, 90.94% and 87.98% for large, medium and small sized nuts at MC∗SET combination of 8.34%∗30 min, 11.80%∗32 min and 8.34%∗30 min, respectively. Pre-treatment of cashew nuts by steam boiling was found to improve whole kernel out-turn of the cashew nut. Whole kernel out-turn decreased as MC increased, thereby limiting the need for moisture adjustment when nuts are to be processed by steam boiling.

1. Introduction
Cashew nut is one of the prized edible nuts in the world; others include almond, pistachio, peanut, hazelnut, and walnut. It refers to the ash-green or greyish-brown kidney-shaped seed at the base of cashew apple which weighs between 4–6 g and measures about 24 × 22 × 17 mm in length × width × thickness (Agnoloni and Giuliani, 1977, Oloso and Clarke, 1993, Balasubramanian, 2001 and Ogunsina and Bamgboye, 2007). Fig. 1shows the internal structure of a cashew nut featuring the kernel, the testa and the shell. The kernel is the edible portion which is widely eaten as a snack-food for accompanying drinks at cocktails or an ingredient for confectioneries and bakery products. The testa shields the kernel and separates it from the shell inside the internal cavity where the kernel develops. The shell is a layer of three protective tissues namely: the epicarp, the external integument of the nut; the mesocarp, which contains cashew nut shell liquid and the endocarp, which limits the internal cavity. Cashew kernel is reported to be rich in fat (46%), protein (21.2%) and carbohydrates (22.3%); providing 596 kCal of energy per 100 g of intake. In addition, it contains substantial amounts of essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals which are seldom found in daily diets (The Wealth of India, 1985). The high-oleic-acid in cashew kernel oil, apart from making it an excellent frying oil, makes it useful as fruit polish, vegetable-based lubricant, feedstock for the oleo-chemical industry or in food systems wherein high oxidative stability is prime (Holland et al., 1991, Davis, 1999 and Janick and Paull, 2008). The tannin content of the seed coat (testa) is a useful resource in the leather manufacturing industry (Andrighetti et al., 1994). Resin extracts from cashew nut shell liquid is a valuable material for manufacturing acid-resistant paints, inks, varnishes, insecticides, fungicides, lacquers for decorating vases and friction powder for automobile brake linings and clutch discs (Laurens et al., 1997, Panda and Panda, 1991 and Echendu et al., 1995). The conversion of processed cashew nut shells into alternative fuels by pyrolysis has also been reported (Ogunsina et al., 2009). Cashew nut may therefore be considered to be a crop of high economic value.
Commercial trade in cashew nuts began in the early 1920s when India pioneered its processing and marketing as an industry. Today, cashew nut production and processing is a major source of foreign revenue in India, Vietnam, Brazil, Mozambique, Tanzania and other countries along the sea coast wherein cashew tree has found favourable conditions for growth (Agnoloni and Giuliani, 1977 and Andrighetti et al., 1994). Nigeria ranks among the world's top producers of cashew nuts with about 660,000 tonnes in 2009 (FAOSTAT, 2009).
The processing of most edible nuts often requires conditioning or subjecting them to one form of thermal treatment or the other to make their shell brittle and amenable to cracking (Kahyaoglu and Kaya, 2006 and Shakerardekani et al., 2011). For cashew nuts, thermal treatment involves roasting the nuts in air or in oil during which the caustic liquid in the mesocarp of the shell gets burnt or dislodged. Afterwards, the nuts are tumbled in wood ash or sawdust to absorb residual liquid film on the shell, cooled and cracked having turned brittle (Andrighetti et al., 1994 and Azam-Ali and Judge, 2001). However, the products of the reaction that occurs between sugars and amino acids during roasting of edible nuts lead to certain desirable sensory attributes such as flavour, colour and taste (Nikzadeh and Sedaghat, 2008) which limit industrial application of cashew nuts. Roasted cashew nuts therefore yield kernels of low export value but it is usually preferred by local consumers. In addition, cashew nut roasting, though requires minimum investment, generates thick acrid fume that pollutes and makes the environment very uncomfortable (ITDG, 2001, ITDG, 2005 and Azam-Ali and Judge, 2001). With the growth of the cashew nut industry and several applications of cashew kernels in food systems, export quality demands that processed nuts should be whole and white or ivory in colour to attract premium price and this is rarely achievable by roasting. An alternative thermal treatment which overcomes these limitations involves steam-boiling (Fig. 2) the dried nuts at about 100 psi for about 25–30 min and cooling it naturally for 12–24 h (Balasubramanian, 2006). This preserves the white or ivory colour and improves whole kernel out turn (WKO); hence a preferred method in industrial processing of cashew nuts for export.
Several attempts to mechanize cashew nut shelling have recorded little success, low whole kernel out turn being a major problem for the industry. Processing procedures had hitherto been based on the experience of processors rather than scientific understanding of the process (Kahyaoglu, 2008). Researchers in the past found that the behaviour of nuts during processing largely depends on processing parameters such as moisture content, size distribution and the method of thermal treatment among others (Araújo and Ferraz, 2006, Balasubramanian, 2001, Jain and Kumar, 1997 and Oloso and Clarke, 1993). Such previous works on walnuts, macadamia, pistachios, hazelnuts, almonds and cashew nuts focused on the effect of thermal treatment on the chemical properties, colour and texture of the kernel (Kosoko et al., 2009, Hebbar and Ramesh, 2005, Wanlapa and Jindal, 2006, Ozdemir and Devres, 2000, Dogan and Cronin, 2004 and Saklar et al., 1999). For cashew kernels, wholesomeness is a major quality index which is largely determined during shelling; an understanding of the parameters that may affect WKO is therefore important as local and foreign demand for cashew kernels keeps increasing worldwide. This study provides information on the effect of thermal treatment by steam-boiling on WKO of cashew nuts which has not been reported so far. It focuses on the effect of moisture content, nut size and steam exposure time on the WKO of steam-boiled cashew nuts.
2. Materials and methods
2.1. Source of materials and sample preparation
Freshly harvested cashew nuts were obtained from farm gates in Iseyin, Iwo and Oro areas of Oyo, Osun and Kwara states (Nigeria) at moisture content (MC) of 8.34% on the average. Extraneous materials such as leaves, stones, immature and spoilt nuts were removed from the lot. The nuts were graded into three size ranges based on their major axial dimensions: large (26–35 mm), medium (23–25 mm), and small (18–22 mm) by the method of Andrighetti et al. (1994). The samples were kept on raised pallets for good ventilation until the time of use according to common practice in the industry.
2.2. Experimental design
The experiment was a 3 × 5 × 4 factorial experiment considering three nut sizes: large, medium and small; five levels of MC: 8.34%, 11.80%, 12.57%, 15.40%, 16.84% (wet basis) and four levels of steam exposure time (SET) 28, 30, 32, and 34 min.
2.3. Moisture content adjustment
The amount of water required to condition samples to the desired MC was determined from the equation below.
2.4. Determination of whole kernel out turn
All nuts were shelled using a hand-operated cashew nut shelling machine manned by one trained regular operator (Ogunsina and Bamgboye, 2011, Kosoko et al., 2009, Balasubramanian, 2006 and Ajav, 1996). For each batch, whole kernels were separated and the weight was determined. Whole kernel out turn was estimated as the percent ratio of the weight of whole kernels (Ww) to the total weight of kernels recovered (WT).
2.5. Statistical analysis
The data were subjected to analysis of variance using SAS (2002). Least Significant Difference test was used to separate means that were significantly different from each other at p < 0.05.
3. Results and discussion
The WKO of cashew nuts that were pre-treated by steam-boiling is presented in Table 1. The general trend was that WKO decreased as MC increased within the range of experimental values. This may be due to an increase in the fracture resistance of the nut-shell as MC increased. The shell was tough and after rupture, it did not yield or split open to release the embedded kernel; exerting more force caused the total nutshell failure. Although WKO ranged from 38.98% to 96.96%, its value for any treatment combination was higher than 32%–62.02% obtained for raw cashew nuts. This indicated an improvement in WKO of cashew nuts when pre-treated by steam boiling. Ogunsina (2010) in reva pious investigation with cashew nuts that were pre-treated by hot-oil roasting observed that the individual effect of pre-treatment method, nut size or MC alone cannot be used to determine WKO; rather, it is a product of interaction between these parameters.
With steam-boiling as a pre-treatment method, the main effect of either MC or SET alone on WKO viz-a-viz the interaction of MC∗SET on the WKO of three different size ranges of cashew nuts is presented in this report. The data for large sized cashew nuts are presented in Table 2. It was observed that at MC of 8.34% and 32 min of steam exposure (i.e. 8.34%∗32 min), the highest significantly different value of WKO (p < 0.05) was 96.96%; and this was not significantly different from 91.74% obtained at 8.34% ∗30 min. Although WKO of 96.96% is numerically higher than 91.74%, in the context of this investigation the numerical difference cannot be attributed to SET. It therefore makes no difference if large size cashew nuts at 8.34% MC are steam-boiled for 30 mins of SET. This is 6% reduction in steam-exposure time per batch of nuts; and implicitly, energy, labour and overall costs. Going through other MC∗SET interactions, the highest significant (p < 0.05) WKO was lower than WKO at 8.34%∗30 mins. This shows that the optimum WKO is achievable when large size cashew nuts are at 8.34% MC and subjected to SET of 30 min. The general trend depicted by this data further shows that as MC increased, WKO reduced; regardless of the SET. For cashew nuts with 34 min of SET,there was first an increase in WKO as MC increased from 8.34% to 11.8%, afterwards there was a decrease and later again, an increase. This irregular trend was similarly observed for raw nuts, but WKO of steam-boiled nuts was consistently higher than that of raw nuts. A linear decrease in WKO was observed for nuts with 32 min of SET at all MCs. It was also observed that WKO ranged from 80% and above until the moisture content was above 12% for all durations of steam exposure. Afterwards, WKO decreased, tending towards 60% and below. However, within the range of these experimental values, for any level of SET, raising the MC above 8.34% may cause a significant reduction in WKO during shelling.
- a–d
- Means within the same cell with different letters are significantly different (p < 0.05). 28, 30, 32 and 34 min are steam exposure times (mins); SET = 0 for raw nuts.

The challenge
Rents in London have risen by a third over the last three years, with tenants paying up to half their income to a landlord, following an exceptional rise in the capital's population. The high prices of properties and amount of mortgage deposit required have made first time purchase prohibitive for many. There is a need to address the problem because unlike the production of food or clothes, a change in the supply of housing is a slow process; so short-term intervention is justified to mitigate the worst effects of the acute shortage. It is an opportune time to launch a project as political activists will be keen to take up new issues to make an impact before a 2015 General Election.
Aim / vision
To bring to the attention of policy makers in government and the political parties the work of historians, such as Martin Daunton, on how governments in the Twentieth Century dealt with crises in the private letting sector and ways that the disadvantages of regulation could be avoided.

In order to get the Gold, you must do all 3 events within 24 hours.
The SwimI left my house to the pool around 8:30. When I got there the lanes were open for lap swim. I set all my clothes, shoes, socks, helmet and other stuff out nicely for a smooth transition. I was preparing for a cold bike and run so I had several layers. I put my wetsuit on an instantly felt like a superstar. I wanted to wear the wetsuit because it would be good training. I started swimming right at 9am.
I swam almost the whole way through. I stopped for a few brief moments to grab some water. I ended up drinking almost 16oz of water.
My first mile was awesome. I started slowing down towards the end. I was struggling and kept thinking of Martin Strel's journey with the Amazon Swim. I just kept swimming. I may have slowed down because of the consumed water?? It wasn't too bad...
The Bike
I had my plan all set out. Out 14 miles and back 14 miles. The transition from pool to home made it a little tricky because I had to stop by the bike store before the ride. I purchased some extra tubes in case I got a flat. I had no spares so I needed to be prepared. I did not want to be stuck with no support on my birthday.
When I got home I was nearly ready to go. I put my fluids on the bike, grabbed a few other things, made a quick video and off I went. I was a little nervous about the weather because the sun went away and the clouds looks fierce.
Fierce indeed. It started snowing about 6 miles into my ride. The ground was warm enough that the snow wasn't sticking, but man it felt like a blizzard. It was coming down hard and I was cruzin' along. The wind was pretty strong too. The snow managed to stop and the road was pretty dry. No crashing today!!
I rode just a little over 28 miles. It was 28.12, but close enough. I had one gel just before the ride, one during, and one just after. This seemed to work pretty well. I consumed almost 32oz of fluid. I mixed my Hornet Juice with the Gatorade. This made an interesting mix. Not too bad!
The Run
I made a quick transition and made another quick video. I could tell that I was cold. My face was all droopy, and I could barely talk. I grabbed my race bib (I wanted to be official), a few other things and I was off. I had one gel just before the run and one at 45min. I started to get cramps around 45min and they went away...for the most part.
The miles went by pretty quick. It was still cold, but I felt that I was pretty well prepared. My goal was to finish 8 miles in an hour. I missed it by just a minute or two. The run wasn't too exciting, and nothing big to share. Not too many people were out. I got stopped by a few stop lights. The uphill was tough, but I managed. I was slowing down towards the end. I walked for 30 seconds after every mile. I like this method.
When I finished, I walked a little. I decided to go back home and grab my dog. Pazu and I went around the complex for a easy cool down. We walked almost .5 miles, but it was pretty slow. My watch timer is set to pause at 20:00/mile pace and I think it stopped a few times.

The first day
Okay so what was the first thing I did that I said I wouldn't fall for this time. It was paying too much for a taxi into Hanoi central from the airport. 850 Dong he says, great I thought – cheap. It was only 850,000 Dong, £30 xe.com says. Will I learn my lesson?
I booked myself into the Hanoi Backpacker Hostel. Not a bad place, got a room to myself, free wifi decent shower. A young couple were just booking themselves in after I, so I tagged along with them for the evening. I would have felt somewhat uneasy my first night here on my own so it was good to have some company.
We wandered around aimlessly for a bit looking for somewhere to eat, before deciding on a roadside eatery full of locals. They spoke no English at all and our attempts to try and order what we wanted were in vain. The young chef in the end pointed to what a family were eating beside us and we agreed to have three of what they were having to make things simple. An odd meal but quite delicious.
We then headed out to find a bar and found a local bar around the corner. We had about 5 beers and it came to a meager 30,000 D, about £1. This is the kinda place I will be drinking from now on.
This night on our wanderings looking for bars the guide book suggested we came to eventually understand the rules for crossing the many busy roads here. Basically just cross when you like regardless of the traffic but don't hesitate. The traffic will dodge you not the other way around. It really is insane, you see Vietnamese people not even looking as the cross, they just look straight ahead and keep going. Not that I am that brave, or that stupid but just crossing the roads here is something I need to get used to.
Something else I will have to get used to is the fact most of the bars around here close around 11pm and the streets quickly become deserted, dark and a little unnerving. The hostels shutters were closed and the lights off when we finally made our way back. I would imagine it not a safe place to be wondering around on your own this time at night.
I found a bar popular with travelers and I will be back there tomorrow to find out about getting a bike. I don't imagine I will be staying too long in Hanoi. Once I get a bike I will be off but not before I have seen the Citadel and the other important sites in Hanoi.

#icons #style /watches & jewellery
Nov 01, 2017
If you're the type of watch aficionado who whiles away the hours on websites like Chrono24, TimeZone and Watchuseek, and who can argue why the new Omega Calibre 8900 trumps the trusty ETA Valjoux 7750 – then you may want to stop reading here.
However, if you're a little less au fait with watchmaking, but still want a rare and special piece that fits your lifestyle and personality – plus you're tech-savvy and, even better, are a millennial – then new website Skolorr is right up your street.
"At Skolorr, we want to bring down the watchmaking jargon, decode everything, and make it simple and easy to connect," says the site's founder, Sky Sit. "There are guys out there, some as young as 18, who want a really cool and exclusive watch. They are well off, buy something and then disappear; they don't hang out with other collectors and on watch forums."
Independent watchmakers – small houses that typically don't have deep-pocketed financial backers and which only make between 30 and 300 watches annually (compare that with around 800,000 each for Omega and Rolex) – have been making big strides in the horology world lately.
Take Geneva's annual watch fair as an example: the invitation-only, Richemont-run Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) first welcomed independent brands to the fair in 2016 with nine names. Next year, there will be 16.
Brands such as MB&F, Urwerk and H. Moser & Cie may be more well-known indie names, thanks to them being increasingly coveted by watch connoisseurs – and with the hefty price tags to match. But what about makers such as AkriviA, Zeitwinkel and Olivier Jonquet, the last of which features a beautiful, cushion-shaped Capitaine dress watch priced at an accessible €1,825? Or Czapek, which can boast an illustrious past as the original 19th-century partner of Antoine Norbert de Patek (of Patek Philippe fame)? Or Swedish maker Gustafsson & Sjögren (GoS), with its eye-catching, patterned steel dials that hark back to a technique used in Viking swords?
These are just some of the 20 inaugural names available on Skolorr – and all are manufactures that Sit has personally visited and vetted. "We don't need to enable the bigger brands," she says. "They have all the resources, advertising money and people. We wanted a solution that will connect people to the smaller guys.
"The site will certainly be a boost for Geneva-based DeWitt, founded by Jérôme DeWitt, whose avant-garde designs often take years to develop. With time-starved buyers increasingly shunning traditional retailers, being on Skolorr's "clever and efficient" online platform made sense, says the brand's CEO and Jérôme's wife, Viviane DeWitt. "It's a complementary way to sell to those who've maybe never heard of DeWitt. The site can reach people living far from our distributors – and indeed, they can see many more models than what a usual distributor displays." A younger generation is a new, attractive "corner of luxury", she adds.
Millennials are now among the world's biggest demographic – and Skolorr's primary target audience. "They're affluent, self-expressive, entrepreneurial and creative," says Sit. "To make something amazing on one's own terms strikes a chord. Millennials want something different. They also want to do good in the world, which I love."
Prior to launching Skolorr, Sit was the former communications officer and the online and direct sales head for independent Danish watch brand Linde Werdelin. Perhaps unsurprisingly, she's a big fan of the Scandinavian spirit. Even the name Skolorr – a play on the word "scholar" – has a somewhat Nordic ring to it. "We love the whole Scandi direction," she professes. "It's socially aware, careful, cool and clean.
"The Skolorr website also features a magazine-like journal section with curated editorial content and images, which was a big draw for Fiona Krüger, the Swiss-based watchmaker whose funky skull watches have earned a cult following. "People can see images of watches anywhere on the web now, but Skolorr showcases products within a wider context – whether they're in watch features or through other lifestyle topics," she says.
The online shop is powered by a robust, cutting-edge platform that notably uses an independent third-party payments system. Funds are held in third-party escrow until delivery of the goods, offering a more secure, fair-trade system. It's this next-generation e-commerce that empowers small businesses such as Skolorr – unlike, say, Airbnb or Uber, which have the necessary capital to build their own platforms. The technology's availability spurred Sit to start Skolorr and her vision won her UK government funding under an innovation scheme, as the technology hadn't been used in watchmaking before.
Despite her technical savvy and foresight, Sit insists she actually "fell into" tech, having originally earned a fashion degree. ("I didn't really like that world, to be honest," she explains.) A friend introduced her to a software company and after a week of reading and rereading the company's literature, it finally clicked. "It was quite weird – I just got it," she recalls. "I started doing well in the company, setting up a business within the corporate environment. It was my first real start-up experience." Intense work and travel eventually led Sit to take a break. Then living in London's Notting Hill, she met the co-founder of retailer Matches Fashion, who was impressed by her CV's combination of fashion and high-tech.
He asked her to help set up its e-commerce business. "At the time, Net-a-Porter was just emerging and it was such a radical idea," she says. "I had an office in the back of the store, where I wanted to sit because of order fulfilment. The clothes were being picked from the stores, with the girls packing everything for me. That was already omnichannel – and we're talking around 15 years ago."
Asked if she sees herself in the tech or the watch world today, Sit firmly sticks with the latter. And will watches continue to be relevant in our digitalised world? She's adamant that they will. "I did a lot of soul-searching at Linde Werdelin – around my values about doing good socially and adding value – and why I was working in a luxury environment. But I'm passionate about the watch. It doesn't require energy, can work forever and can be passed down, so it has an emotional quality. And it's about craftsmanship, which people can identify with. Watches are not about telling time anymore, but showcasing what we can do as human beings."
Independent thinking, indeed.

Khan: Lidstrom not going anywhere
Update (10:52 PM): IwoCPO linked today to a Larry Brooks piece in which the NY Post writer opined that the Wings have gone to Lidstrom hat-in-hand, hoping in vain that he will take a pay cut. Can't say I fully buy into that story. I suspect the Wings' and Nick are more on the same page than the rumor-mongers would have us believe. - Matt In a blog post today, Ansar Khan wrote on something I had forgotten to mention in my short response to Game 6, namely Eric Duhatschek's comments about Nick Lidstrom on Satellite Hotstove (Real Media file) last night. The panel was discussing possible off-season moves by various teams and when asked by Ron MacLean to discuss Detroit, Duhatschek just said he felt the Wings would have a hard time signing Lidstrom because they wouldn't be able to throw the necessary money at him. (I'm paraphrasing here and since I'm on dial-up at home, I can't re-watch the clip) Duhatschek is a big name in the business, a journalist who knows his stuff and he didn't say that for the heck of it. He obviously had a reason to believe what he said. However, I am fully with the little Detroit hockey journalist Ansar Khan on this one:
There's a lot of uncertainty about what moves the Wings will make in the next few weeks, but there is one thing that you can absolutely, positively take to the bank: Lidstrom WILL re-sign with the Wings. Frankly, I don't understand why that would even be questioned.Me either. It's reasonable to expect the Wings to be okay with giving Lidstrom a raise from the $7.6 million he earned last season. Nick could easily demand the league max, which is expected to be just under $8.8 million (20% of just under $44 million) but, as Khan says, I think it's more likely he'll get $8 million. I personally doubt Lidstrom will make it difficult for the Wings. The man used to threaten to leave Detroit and return to Sweden but during the lockout, when others of his countrymen were heading off to the SEL, he didn't go anywhere except for vacation. He was content to stay in town and let his kids go to school and live their life in Michigan. To me, that speaks volumes about his interest in sticking around.

The Brief
Event photography is one of my favourite kinds of work. There's something I love about the rush of capturing photos on the fly, of telling a story as it unfolds in front of me. Last week I joined the team at Harrison Clark Rickerbys for their Inaugural Hereford Defence & Security Expo (HDSE). I was there on behalf of F8 Creates to capture and document the essence of the day, from the Networking Breakfast to the keynote, from the Panel discussions to the general atmosphere.
The Event
Arriving in the dark I found the team already on site and setting up. I began my day getting shots of exhibitors arriving and coming thought security. I got shots of coffee runs and people putting up their banners before shooting the breakfast and the official welcome. Once the Expo was underway I began finding moments and prepping for the keynote speakers and the panel discussions. Between sessions I returned to getting general shots of the Expo, busy and humming with activity, getting some PR shots of the main guests and even grabbing a shot or two of a small band of protestors outside.
It was a long but successful day for all concerned. The payoff was a well organised and attended inaugural event with good levels of footfall, interest and a general feeling of upbeat usefulness. My photos were well received and I look forward to covering the second event next year.
Some Images from the day –

North American Premiere of Addicted to Sheep
EXCITING NEWS! We are so pleased to announce that Addicted to Sheep has been selected to screen at Ashland Independent Film Festival, in Oregon (USA), one of the coolest film festivals in the world according to MovieMaker!
Ashland Independent Film Festival was the first festival to recognise the quality of the film and contacted us in February last year but we were unable to accept their invitation as we were awaiting the decision from Sheffield Doc/Fest which we considered to be a bigger and more local platform which we could better support. However, we promised to enter the film for the 2016 festival knowing there was no guarantee we'd be selected again and lo and behold we were selected and we are looking forward to participating in this lively and vibrant festival that attracts over 7,000 film lovers in this historic town the Washington Post called "a dream you'll never want to leave". We hope this is the launchpad for the long awaited release of the film onto the North American market. For those of you who live on the Western seaboard this is an opportunity not to be missed to see it on the big screen. The festival runs from the 7th to 11th of April and Addicted to Sheep will be screened on Friday 8th of April at 3.30pm local time at The Historic Ashland Armory.
It's a long way from home but Director Magali Pettier will make the journey from Northern England to Ashland and will take part in the Q&A session after the screening. So please come and say hello if you can join us on this very special occasion. We won't be able to bring our life size sheep with us for obvious reasons but some miniature ones might join us on our travels!
Tickets to screening and Special Prize Draw
Tickets can be booked from the 22nd of March for Festival Members and from the 27th of March for the General Public. For more information please visit the festival's website here. You can also visit our International Screenings page here.
We are also offering ONE FREE PAIR OF TICKETS for a lucky winner to join us for the North American Premiere screening where you'll also have the opportunity to meet Director/Producer Magali Pettier. Just email firstname.lastname@example.com quoting 'Ashland Ticket Draw' by 12.00 noon GMT Wednesday 23 March to be in with a chance. Winners will be notified by email and published on social media the following day unless you ask us otherwise. Please share with your family and friends!

Freak Through lyrics song by T.I.
Here is the song lyric of T.I. : and you can also sing and watch music video
[T.I.]</i> Hey! Hey! Hey!
[Chorus - Pharrell Williams w/ T.I. ad-libs]
(But she's a freak though)
She got angel eyes, wit the baby face
(But she's a freak though)
I want my momma and daddy to meet her
Maybe have my baby
(But she's a freak though)
They keep talking about you
Because they - can't keep up with your pace
You're my - super freak! super freak!
You're my - super freak!
[Verse - T.I.]
My momma taught me, everything fine ain't the finest
And everything that shine ain't a diamond
They say that change come wit time and I'm finding
That most bitches take your kindness for blindness
Yeah it feel good laying her beside you
Diggin deep, all nine up inside you
But we can't kick out in public, gotta hide you
Cause all my partnaz in the hood done tried you
It's true that you can't turn a hoe into a house wife
Well listen shorty maybe I don't want a house wife
They say that you a freak I'm thinking that they bout right
Because that pussy's so good and your mouth tight
A pretty face, slim waist, and her stout nice
Juicy ass that them niggaz in the south like
She super sexy, got a nigga thinking bout a wife
Wearing all white, being wit her for life
[Verse - T.I.]
The main thing making niggaz judge you
Is the same thing that make me wanna love you
From the smell of ya hair, I wanna hug you
To the way you yell "give it to me" when I fuck you
Plus you ain't tripping off a nigga cause he thuggin
That's why I'm twice as happy as relationships I was in
But my partna say you trickin wit his cousin
But nevermind, I don't listen they be buggin
They find it hard to understand how could T.I.P. love
This girl, when her man is out at strip clubs
Maybe cause T.I.P. girls leaving wit girls
And in the morning they'll be waking up with six girls
They don't know we more like homies when we pick girls
Why you worried bout it, he ain't gotta make you his girl
Fuck what he think about you, I think you the shit girl
Make me wanna bring another kid in the world
[Verse - T.I.]
Now I been told every nigga in the streets know
She ain't nothing but a freak ho
But when I look in her pretty eyes, I don't see it though
Now she done showed me some shit that I ain't seen before
But what we do behind closed doors is for me to know
All in all I've decided I'm a keep her though
I'm a fucking grown man, what I'm creeping for?
Just try me bout her folk, that's what I'm toting heaters for
I'd die by that for her a real good reason though
That's how I feel, let my partnaz and my momma know
Keep it real, all the disrespect has got to go
I just respect that she herself and she don't hide it
Though she may have been a tad misguided
All she need is a little affection, a lot of direction
A nigga wit a constant erection
And I done wasted plenty time contemplating second guessing
Procrastinating, I wanna buy a ring and pop the question

'Winning Ponies' welcomes Eddie Castro's agent Mike Gonzalez and Archarcharch's trainer William "Jinks" Fires
April 28, 2011
Hosted by John Engelhardt
[Download MP3] [itunes] [Bookmark Episode]
Episode Description
Calling in for Eddie Castro will be his agent Mike Gonzalez. Eddie Castro is not fluent in English and his agent does all the interviews for him. Eddie Castro (born 4/10/1985 in Panama) grew up on a produce farm there where he learned to ride saddle horses at an early age. Influenced by the accomplishments of other local jockeys, Castro attended the Panamanian Jockey School and began riding in races in December 2002. In just over three months he rode thirty-six winners in Panama then decided to move to the United States where he debuted on April 16, 2003 at Gulfstream Park in Florida. Although his fellow apprentice jockeys had more a three-and-a-half month head start, Castro wrapped up the year as the winner of the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Apprentice Jockey. On June 4, 2005 at Calder Race Course, Eddie Castro set an American record with nine wins on a single race card and on November 15, 2006 at Churchill Downs won his 1,000th race. That year, he rode Miesque's Approval to victory in the Sunshine Millions Turf and the Breeders' Cup Mile. William "Jinks" Fires (born: 07/23/1940 in Rivervale, AR), is the second eldest of the popular racing family. Of the nine boys and two girl in the Fires family, eight boys, at one time or the other, worked in the business with the most widely known being Hall of Fame jockey Earlie Fires. Another brother, Bucky, was a popular outrider in New York and Chicago as well as Hot Springs. Always among the leaders at Oaklawn Park, Mr. Fires enters the 2011 season with a deep stable headed by several promising 3-year-olds. Chief among the group of sophomores are $250,000 Southwest Stakes (G3) and $1million Arkansas Derby (G1) winner Archarcharch, owned by longtime client Bob Yagos and Patricia Blass' Bluegrass Bull, third in the Smarty Jones. Fires has trained for Patricia and Gus "Buddy" Blass and their colorful line of "Shoe" horses for more than 30 years. Keeping things in the family, the regular rider for Archarcharch is Fires' son-in-law jockey Jon Court.

text: The novel tells the story of Alex Donnelly who is running and trying to hide from nearly everyone. He has picked a good place to do it - the Yukon - but is pursued by friends, enemies, and most effectively, by God. Burning with the need to know about his parents, Alex returns to his birth-city, Seattle, where he discovers that his mother tried to abort him. The trauma sends him on the run again only to find out God has orchestrated a divine appointment for him back in the Yukon. The story is filled with miraculous healing, struggles with rage, and an obsession with revenge for a childhood abuser. It shows that God never gives up on those whom He has chosen. His mercy and grace extend to those who consider themselves unworthy, and even more so, to those who are considered unworthy in the eyes of the world. Laycock says, "The book tries to illustrate that no matter how far you run, God will find you. No matter how bad you've been, God will forgive you."

Who we are:
We are a growing network across Turtle Island of indigenous corn keepers. Our work centers on ancestral corn varieties and returning to our sacred responsibilities to steward them.
Our Call:
We who are made of corn have been called to assemble in unity among our diverse Corn Nations of the four directions. From within our genetics emerge our stories, our instructions, and our responsibility to the tending of our precious gift. From our ancestral maize come the lessons for our future. The current decimation of corn is intricately related to the mainstream disconnection of the spiritual from our sacred maize.The vibrant diversity represented in our Corn Cultures has resisted extermination for hundreds of years. This resilience has turned the corner towards restoration. We must draw upon the strength of ancestral corn teachings. It is time to plant. It is time to unify.

Counting On Recap: Joe Duggar Cannot Wait to Bone Kendra Caldwell
This week on Counting On, Kendra Caldwell headed to Kentucky to pick out her wedding dress in preparation for her special day.
Did Joe have a surprise up his sleeve, though?
As Joseph Duggar and Kendra's wedding day quickly approached on Counting On Season 6 Episode 3, the anticipation began to build.
Sexually. We're talking about temptation.
Yes, the couple's sexual desires were running ever so high as they geared up for their impending nuptials, but this is par for the course.
In this family, patience is a virtue.
Joe's sister Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth, her husband, interestingly talked about getting through the challenges of waiting.
It was this couple that allegedly engaged in massive amounts of courtship rule-breaking and didn't delay physical intimacy until marriage.
Of course, a lot of that speculation was just that – speculation. Talk of Joy-Anna having premarital sex made for great gossip, but that's it.
The birth of Joy and Austin's son Gideon did nothing to disprove her consistent claim that the couple got pregnant on their honeymoon.
In any case, Joe confessed to Austin that as he gets closer and closer to his wedding day, it's impossible not to think about Kendra.
He means in a sexual manner.
"I spend the evenings with Kendra and then during the day I'm just working. It keeps me busy and not thinking about it," Joe admitted.
The 23-year-old Joseph later added that "Joy and Austin have been a great example for us as far as relationships."
"They say when you get closer to the wedding it's always so much harder," he said, and in his estimation, "it's true."
For her part, Kendra chimed in:
"You just start loving each other more and more and you just get excited about the wedding but I think having chaperones allows us not to fall."
Joe spoke about the "physical boundaries" he and Kendra set, and they are strict … think side hugs and not a whole lot else.
"We're not kissing before we get married, we're just saving ourselves for each other," he explained, and that's not out of the ordinary.
The Duggars' upbringing basically forbids all types of contact pre-engagement and marriage, even unsupervised alone time.
Of course, without a lot of practice beforehand, there's going to be a learning curve of sorts after they do finally get married.
Not that he's not up for the challenge.
Challenges and lessons don't get much more entertaining than this one, and besides, his siblings seem to have figured it out.
Still, a Counting On producer continued to press them on the subject, probing for cringe-worthy details and asking awkwardly:
"What have you guys done to prepare yourselves for the physical side of marriage, as far as education on such things?"
Joe's response?
"At this point, we figure that we don't have to educate ourselves completely … if we had questions we can ask people who we trust."
"I know there's a lot of books out there, a lot of things you can read," he said, though it's unclear what things he meant.
Given the family's limits on media consumption (see below), we'd be interested to see the reading material in question.
It's a moot point anyway.
"We don't want to make it harder on ourselves thinking about all the things we can't actually carry out," Duggar added.
"Also, I think that in marriage, I think it'll be fun understanding more as we go along and just learn together."
Clearly it worked out in the end.
Soon after their wedding – VERY soon after their wedding – we learned that Kendra Caldwell is pregnant with their first child.
Who needs books anyway?!

The U.S. ag department is defending ethanol against attacks that it is the cause of rising food prices. The GOP's presumptive presidential nominee John McCain is among leaders asking the Environmental Protection Agency to cut this year's requirement of corn-based ethanol in half. Mc Cain supporter Hal Daub tells us that McCain takes the right attitude toward agriculture. Daub says the export market was even better not withstanding the consumption of corn for ethanol and the ethanol blend, while it helps us all be productive, were dollars that were circulated in our economy and not spent for gasoline imported from foreign countries. Nebraska is the nation's No. 3 producer of ethanol. Daub is hosting McCain's vision in Nebraska in July..but he still won't disclose where McCain will visit, other then that it won't be Omaha or Lincoln.
