Eco-friendly Holi for Navi Mumbaikar's
Holi is the festival all about colors. The concept of water came in with more of fun and enjoyment. But the city housing societies are very cautious about saving ample of water which is wasted in the holi celebrations.
Holi too has become ruthlessly commercialized, boisterous and yet another source of environmental degradation. To de-pollute Holi and make it in sync with nature, as it is supposed to be, several social and environmental groups are proposing a return to more natural ways of celebrating Holi. Water is the most important necessity and we don't want it to be wasted in such celebrations said the city residents.
Many housing societies in Navi Mumbai are trying their best to avoid wastage of water and use eco-friendly colors.
Stated Harsh Patel, Resident of Juhu Goan Vashi, "Celebrating an eco-friendly Holi allows you to enjoy each and every moment just like a normal Holi celebration. An eco-friendly celebration gives you full freedom to have unlimited fun as well pleasure of protecting nature. Such celebration also allows you to save money on harmful colors and other irrelevant products."
He added, "Prefer preparing eco-friendly natural colors at home; haldi concoction for yellow, beetroot concoction for red, and methi or neem concoction for green. Organic colors are now easily available in the market"
The residents of Kalash Udhyan in Koparkhairne too are encouraging no wastage of water and usage of eco-friendly colors. Stated Sindhu Nair, Committee member, "We are celebrating eco-friendly holi in our society. We completely avoid old paste, permanent colors and use light homemade colors. Actually a lot of peple are unaware of the importance of eco-friendly celebrations. The government should promote it and ban the selling of harmful colors in the market"
Enjoy the festival of colors and indulge in the spirit of Holi in eco-friendly ways. This preserves the very essence of the festivals and spreads the message of peace and brotherhood.
Wish you a very Happy Holi From Navi Mumbai Post and its team!!!

News about the Gillette Carnival has been flying around social media. Last week for 6 days, the show was in the Town of Halfmoon and we had the opportunity to tell hundreds of people about the foundation. It's not often that I get to meet many of the families, but I was fortunate to meet some on a special night that we dedicated to wearing red in honor of those children fighting and in memory of Nick and those other angels who lost their battle. Each day brought new blessings.
I met Alicia who lost her teen daughter, Brandi, in 2013. She had her other children with her and it was wonderful to be able to hug her and give them a chance to bring some laughter into their lives. I was able to connect Brittney and Kacey who have similar restrictions due to their illnesses. But seeing them lively chatting together while they filled 300 bags (thank you!) was so inspiring. They refuse to let side effects run their lives. They see the magic in the moment, even though some moments are so bright.
Little Abby and Bella both gave me heartwarming hugs, as well as all the families who came. Those connections are a lifeline when the cancer journey gets tough and so inspiring to keep us all going in our mission to fight cancer.
Connecting is essential to battling any disease and getting through it whole. Maybe not the same as you were when you started, but whole in spirit and heart. Yes, we are never the same, but when we come together as a cancer community, we know we can get through anything and come out stronger, truer to what matters, and loved.
Thank you to the Gillette Family, the Loiselle's who made this connection for us, Kevin Tollisen, Halfmoon Town Supervisor, all the volunteers who helped throughout the event, and the community for coming together to laugh, heal, and spread hope. In addition to all the gathering together and having fun, The Gillette Family donated $10,000 to Nick's Fight! Our appreciation is endless!

I can't recall if we've mentioned this before or not, but my friend told me about a link to the website of the Holloman base where the up and coming Transformers Movie is being filmed. The page has a news report that contains some footage of the movie and some interviews with the troops who appear in the movie and even some who don't. Is that chopper... Soundwave?

We're being urged to get the flu jab nice and early in Eastbourne.
After figures from the Eastbourne, Hailsham and Seaford CCG showed that fewer people took up the offer for the jab last year, it's hoped more of us will take the advice this year. Just 29% of 2-year-olds received the nasal spray in 2015, 38% of 3-year-olds and 27% of 4-year-olds. The biggest 'at risk' group to respond, was the over 65s, where 72% received the flu jab.
Cynthia Lyons, East Sussex acting director of public health, said, "Flu is an unpleasant illness for anyone but for those in at-risk groups it can put them at risk of serious problems such as pneumonia.
"Last year, uptake of the vaccine was lower than expected, resulting in more people catching the disease and needing treatment, with the resultant pressure on NHS services that causes.
"Having the flu jab is a quick, simple procedure which is the best way for people to avoid becoming a victim of flu and the complications which can result from it."
Symptoms of flu, which is spread by coughs and sneezes or touching surfaces on which germs have landed, include fever, chills, headaches, aches and pains in joints and muscles and extreme tiredness.
It's important that people have their flu vaccine every year, as it protects against different strains of flu which change and evolve each year.
Stevi Page, from Herstmonceux, contracted pneumonia after a bout of flu four years ago and as a result developed a long-term problem with asthma.
She said, "I used to get the flu jab every year at the school where I worked, but for some reason in this particular year I just didn't get around to it.
"Having flu was a horrible experience – I had a terrible cough, was aching all over and one minute I was sweating and feeling hot, the next I was shaking with cold and throwing on blankets.
"The pneumonia was like having flu all over again – I felt so weak and completely washed out for a long time, and even now if I get a cold or sore throat I can't stop coughing and have to use an inhaler.
"It's a horrible illness and can have nasty consequences, so for anyone who's not sure about getting vaccinated, I'd say just do it – I always have the flu jab now.
"It's really important – especially if you, or anyone who you're in contact with, is vulnerable. You're not just protecting yourself, but your family, friends and neighbours."
People in at-risk groups can get the flu jab by talking to their GP or practice nurse.

We offer reconstructive solutions for stricture urethra including single stage reconstruction, panurethral stricture repair and surgery for pelvic fracture urethral injuries.
We offer the procedures listed below.
Poor urine flow can be due to obstruction to flow such as a stricture urethra (narrowing in the urine tube) or prostatic enlargement. Occasionally this can be due to weak bladder musculature.
Stricture urethra is a narrowing in the urine tube (urethra) and decreases the urine flow with increased frequency of urination (due to inadequate bladder emptying). Stricture urethra can occur due to lichen sclerosis (a skin disorder affecting the external genitalia), infection, trauma, instrumentation, radiation treatment for prostate cancer or as a result of poor catheterization technique.
Diagnosis of stricture urethra is achieved by performing a retrograde urethrogram (X-ray taken after instilling a small amount of contrast in the urethra) and/or a voiding cystourethrogram (patient is made to pass urine after filling the bladder with contrast and an X-ray is taken). Another method is on visualization of the stricture on direct inspection with a telescope (cystoscopy).
This depends on the cause, location, length of the stricture and the surrounding fibrosis.
The available options include –
Various types of urethroplasty procedures are used to treat stricture urethra –
The exact nature of surgery needs to be discussed with our Urologist.
10% of pelvic fracture cases are complicated by urethral (urine tube) injury. The commonest cause is road accidents. The patient is unable to pass urine or there is blood at the tip of the penis.
Acute management includes bypassing the urine with a tube inserted directly in the bladder (SPC) from the lower part of the abdomen.
A thorough history, examination, erectile function status, retrograde urethrogram (X-ray taken after instilling a small amount of contrast in the urethra) and voiding cystourethrogram (patient is made to pass urine after filling the bladder with contrast and an X-ray is taken), penile doppler (to assess blood flow) is required.
A stepwise approach is utilized to treat PFUI. A perineal incision (cut between scrotum and anus) is utilized and the two ends of the urethra are identified, scar tissue excised and the two ends are joined together over a catheter tube.
Occasionally a combined abdominal and perineal incision is required.

MP: Promotion quota for SC/ST staffers sets off fresh debate
The Supreme Court stay on a Madhya Pradesh high court order cancelling quota in promotion for SC/ST employees since 2002 has sparked off a fresh debate on reservation, with general category staffers deciding to challenge the move.bhopal Updated: Jun 09, 2016 19:15 IST
The Supreme Court stay on a Madhya Pradesh high court order cancelling quota in promotion for SC/ST employees since 2002 has sparked off a fresh debate on reservation, with general category staffers deciding to challenge the move.
General category employees claimed that the apex court's order was challengeable because the number of people who got promotion through quota was much higher than those of the unreserved cadre.
While the Anusuchit Jati Janjati Adhikari Evam Karamchari Sangh (AJJAKS) – an organisation championing the rights of the lower castes – claimed that only 18% of the employees were elevated to grade one, 28% to grade two, and 32% to grade three, records at Mantralaya tell a different story.
Official figures show that though the number of deputy secretary posts belonging to grade one cadre in Mantralaya is 14, only three officials of the general category hold this post, and they are about to retire. While SC/ST employees occupy 78.58% grade one posts, general category candidates occupy just 21.42%, the records say, adding that nearly 50,000 SC/ST employees were promoted through reservation since 2002.
While there are 65 undersecretary (class 1-level) posts, general category employees hold only 17. "This means that 74% of under secretary-level posts are occupied by SC/ST employees. Similarly, out of 176 section officer (class 2-level) posts, only 67 are held by general category staffers. Reserved category employees, on the other hand, occupy 62% of the posts," the records say.
Ashok Sharma, president of the Madhya Pradesh Gazetted Officers' Union, told Hindustan Times that the AJJAKS was making baseless claims. "One just has to count the numbers to see that less than 25% general category officers occupy class 1 government jobs. Many general category officers have retired waiting to be promoted," Sharma said.
"A clerk belonging to the general category is not elevated to the post of section officer in his lifetime, but a clerk recruited through reservation lands the post of deputy secretary or additional secretary," he added.
Ashok Ben, Bhopal district head of the AJJAKS, chose to differ. "It's not possible that the number of SC/ST employees in higher positions is more than that in the general category. Even if the number of SC/ST employees is higher in some government departments, that doesn't mean they were elevated through reservation. They might have been promoted through merit."

As many of you know from our Facebook page, this past week was National Deaf Dog Week.
We should never overlook the idea of opening our doors to a deaf dog. Whether it is a puppy or a senior dog, both are trainable even though they are deaf. Just because they can't hear us, there a many training aids that you can use to help train. Sign language and touch are both ways that we are able to communicate with a deaf dogs.
It is specially important to learn on training a deaf dog for those of us who have senior dogs that are beginning to loss their hearing. The sooner the various training tips for deaf dogs are taught, the easier it will be on them when they completely loss their hearing.
There are tons of articles, videos and webinars. Just search "Deaf Dog Training Tips."

Our Reports
Monday, 17 September 2018
Our CEO, Philippa Stroud established the Social Metrics Commission with the sole aim of developing new measures of poverty for the UK. The need for an independent Commission was clear; much of the last decade of political and policy debate on poverty has focussed on whether and how we should measure poverty, rather than the action needed to drive better outcomes for the most disadvantaged in our society. If this is to change, developing a metric is not enough; we also need to be able to use it to build a new consensus around poverty measurement and action in the UK.
This report is the culmination of two and a half years of work from our Social Metrics Commissioner which is made up of top thinkers from the left and right and policy and measurement experts with no political position. It outlines a new approach to poverty measurement for the UK and provides original analysis that demonstrates the fundamental changes to our understanding of poverty it creates. Most importantly, the approach, results and recommendations in this report are supported by every Commissioner. They truly represent a consensus view of how we should measure and understand the incidence of poverty in the UK and the experiences of those who are in poverty.
Read the summary here and the full report here.
Executive Summary
While various measures of income inequality and poverty exist, the UK no longer has an official measure of poverty for children, adults or pensioners. This leaves a situation where policymakers and politicians are less able to track progress and it is more difficult to hold them to account for effectively tackling the causes of poverty or improving the lives of those in poverty.
The Social Metrics Commission was brought together to develop a new approach to poverty measurement that both better reflects the nature and experiences of poverty that different families in the UK have, and can be used to build a consensus around poverty measurement and action in the UK.
The Commission is a rigorously non-partisan organisation. Its membership is drawn from top UK poverty thinkers from different political and professional backgrounds, alongside data and analytics experts and those with experience of working with and supporting people living in poverty. This report summarises the work that the Commission has undertaken over the last two and a half years.
It presents a detailed articulation of how the approach to poverty measurement can be improved in the UK and elsewhere. The Commission's new measure:
Following this, the report summarises the most comprehensive implementation of this framework that is possible with existing data and research in the UK. Summary results and findings are then presented.
What next?
Measuring poverty is essential if action is going to be taken to improve the lives of those currently in poverty in the UK or who, without action, would otherwise be in poverty in future. The Commission would like to see the measurement of poverty, including by Government, the ONS, policy makers and those researching and working with people in poverty, adopt the approach outlined in this report.
The Commission will do all it can to support this, including by publishing technical papers on the methodology and making available the code that underpins the measure.
The Commission's work is only the start of what needs to happen. The Commission hopes that its work will stimulate much needed further research and improvement in UK survey and administrative data. This would allow for a full practical implementation of the Commission's full measurement framework.

Tri... To bann on sight!
This was his motto for a many of days when he once was a Mod in times past. Posters had no chance.
KAM, Starscream, and Feels on Wheels just to name a few fell victim to Tri's elitist persona as they all have felt the sting of the bann that was placed by his finger on the keyboard.
"Tri, to bann on sight" was his motto... don't make it his slogan. Only you can save OT from this type of diabolical, Marxist dictatorship.
If you love OT as much as I, and want to see the best that OT can be... you will vote Dev for OT Mod 2008.
Thank you for your love, your care, your hospitality, your warmth, your wisdom, your intuition, your money, your bright and beautiful smile, and for you... just being you. ...and did I mention your love? Yes... thank you for your ear, eyes, nose, & voice too.
This attack add was sponsored by those who don't support tyranny in-which Tri is known to produce. And your local add council, who can tell you, that voting for Dev, adds up to a peaceful life in OT.
I RECANT!!! Vote 'no one' for OT Mod 2008!

He may Tri at everything he attempts, but the the only thing he was ever good at doing was bann, and we don't need that type of evil to plague the wonderful land of OT.

No other country has such disdain for its folk dancing traditions as England. In The Way of the Morris film-maker Tim Plester tries to find out what exactly Morris dancing is all about, both for the English and himself, and why it's such a neglected art.
On St Patrick's and on St Andrew's days respectively, town halls across England hold Céilidh of Irish and Scottish dance, while on St George's day… well, we probably all go shopping. It's not just the Scots and Irish, rural Americans are quite partial to square dances and the polka is considered quite cool by some Swedes. But the English keep their indigenous dance very much under their flower decorated hats.
Actor, playwright and film-maker, Plester, is a man who stands a good chance than most of getting to the bottom of this conundrum. He hails from Addebury in North Oxfordshire, a village with two 'sides' (as a group is known) of Morris men. This short film (it's only an hour long) uses the village to investigate the meaning of Morris.
Plester talks to members of the two Addebury Morris sides, who, it turns out, represent the cross-roads of the personal and historical. Addebury was one of the first villages in England to revive its side back in the Seventies. And although, dressed in his funky 70s leather jacket and Hawaiian shirt, Plester is now more urbanite than villager, but his father and uncle were part of that pioneering movement.
The 70s revival was something of a search for roots, an impulse that quickens the whole film. Plester hasn't joined in the family tradition, but is revealing on the motivations of those who wanted to resurrect it, while flirting with The Morris himself. Most of the original Addebury side was slaughtered in the First World War (only one member returned), and Plester movingly remembers those unfortunate men.
The film's stately pace is leavened with some lovely shots of the English countryside and Plester's lyrical meditations on England and Englishness. To find out more about the history of Morris, he interviews a number of folkies. Billy Bragg, Chris Leslie (of folk rock legends The Fairport Convention), and the folks at Cecil Sharp House (the home of the English Folkdance and Song Society), who all give interesting insights into the origins and meaning of the dance.
The Way of the Morris is a worthy, and long-overdue testament to a mysterious remnant of English rural life. By the end of it, you might have renewed respect for Morris dancing and dancers. Come to think of it, wearing flowers in your hat, drinking gallons of ale and leaping about with a pagan glint in your eye sounds like rather a good idea.

25 Sep Why Choose a Premium Wedding Photographer?
Posted at 12:45h in Photography, wedding 0 Comments
"Here's the most important thing you need to know about wedding pictures: Book the best photographer you can afford as soon as you set the date. The wedding music will fade, the flowers will die, and you even remember if you ate, let alone what you ate, at the reception. But the wedding pictures last forever."—It's Her Wedding But I'll Cry If I Want To by Leslie Milk, Rodale Books, 2005.
Some brides find this advice intuitive, while for others, the photographer is the last thing they think about, after they've faced the expenses of hiring the hall, choosing the food, paying for flowers, hiring a makeup artist, buying their gown, etc. etc. etc. The photographer and videographer, they think, don't contribute to the actual event, and I must take care of my guests, so let's see how I can get away with spending as little as possible—and maybe my uncle Harvey will do it, or some student, or maybe I'll just leave disposable cameras on the tables, and the guests will provide my wedding photography!
Of course, you get what you pay for. Plus, there's a great variety of talent out there, in addition to levels of service (how soon will I see my photographs), and you also want to consider how well you get along with your photographer, and how accessible he is. In fact, those are the three major factors you want to consider when hiring a photographer:
- Do you like the person? Can you work with her? Is she accessible?
- Do you like his photographic style? Do the sample albums (featuring people you don't know) hold your interest? Do you like the level of artistry and imagination? Is she capturing the important images of a wedding?
- What level of service can you expect? How soon will your images be delivered? Your album? What's the procedure for creating an album together?
So once you decide on the range of your budget, you can begin evaluating photographers based on these criteria.
Now what will you get if you decide you want a premium photographer? that is, one that charges $5000 and up for his services, including album and engagement session, but not including video or parent albums.
You should get more and better in all of the above categories, in addition to extra products and features, such as the following:
- a longer and larger album
- a more extravagant or far-flung engagement session
- a personalized guest book with your engagement session photos in it
- a post-wedding photo session in your wedding garments and and album of these photos (a "bridal book")
- an elaborate wall portrait, possibly on canvas or aluminum
- a second photographer at your wedding
But look closely at the photographer's style—and not everyone is sensitive to this, but most everyone will react more positively to better quality photographs, even if they don't know why they feel that way.
To be a professional photographer, all photographs have to be of excellent technical quality, but
•Look at the expressions: do you see emotion? Delight, surprise, joy, pride, concentration, love, even sadness.
•Look at the compositions: is there a minimum of hands or feet cut off in full-length captures? (A good portrait cuts or crops above the joints, that is, the elbows and knees, or else includes the extremities). Sometimes an expression may be so good that this rule is broken, but it should be followed as much as possible.
•What about the light? Are there unwanted shadows? Is there evidence of extra lighting during the reception (off-camera flash)? Is there a minimum of hot spots (other people's light sources)? Are outdoor photos taken bright sunlight with deep shadows and people squinting?
•Look at the album layout. Does it show artistry and imagination? Does it give you a feeling for the atmosphere during the various phases of the wedding? Does it emphasize the right things? Does it include details of decor, flowers, centerpieces and food? If you have a theme, does he pay attention to it, so that it becomes a leitmotif in the album? I once had a client whose theme was the peacock feather.
•How do you like the photographer? Does she make you laugh? Is she interested in you as a person, what the rest of your life is like? Does he encourage you to contribute ideas, to express your desires? Does he explain things to you and welcome your questions? Do you have any experiences from other parts of your life that the photographer might share (professional, cultural, sports, current events, travel, etc.) so that you bond in other ways? We all strive to do our best for all of our clients, but some clients actually inspire us to go even farther, to be even more creative.
•As for service, the photographer will tell you when to expect delivery of images and products, but will she furnish references to confirm the level of service?
•Does he have payment plans? What if you really like a photographer, but she is a bit beyond your set budget? Will she accommodate you perhaps by cutting back on products, or deferring products (including your album) until later? What about spreading out payments? I have had clients who ordered their album a year after their wedding.
•What is the photographer's experience in other domains of photography? Photojournalism or social documentary? Fine art photography? Portraiture? Wedding photography used to be very dry and predictable, and in the hands of some photographers it still is, but it needn't be.
You may be surprised to find all the factors that go into making a photographer who is worth paying $5000, $6000, $7000 or more to photograph your wedding. The results may be intangible, but they will give you a deeper joy with your album, and actually preserve the magic of your wedding day more clearly and faithfully.

For much of the lower 48 states, it's easy to consider glaciers as distant, sometimes extraordinarily so. Much of my research has focused on closing this distance through first hand encounters and wide angle views of the far reaching influence of ice. Whether realized or not, people around the world (and particularly in North America) rely on ice far more than they might imagine.
In the North Cascades of Washington, this reliance is palpable.
For the past two weeks, I've been stationed at the North Cascades Institute's Environmental Learning Center. The Learning Center, a small residential campus built to house visiting school groups, retreats, grad students and staff, is located on the shores of Diablo Lake, a glacier fed lake situated in the heart of one of the most diverse ecosystems in the country. The mission of the center is to "is to conserve and restore Northwest environments through education." In order to do that, the institute facilitates experiential learning opportunities for all ages in the outdoors.
A theme that's come up frequently throughout this glacier project is access. Access to experience, to unbiased facts, to the bigger picture of climate change, to the places changing fastest. Here in the North Cascades, I've experience a level of access I hadn't anticipated.
Not only does the ELC provide that access through its Mountain School program for 5th graders, its myriad of naturalist-led courses, and its choice location in the midst of North Cascades National Park, but the surrounding environment does as well.
In northwest Washington, ice is not just a distant headline, but an integral component in the landscape, and in the livelihoods of folks who live here.
Take Lake Diablo, for instance. It's western edge meets Diablo dam, which, along with neighboring Ross and Gorge dams along the Skagit River that provide a 89.9% of the hydroelectricity for Seattle and neighboring areas.
The cherry and apple orchards that characterize the eastern slope of the mountains rely on glacial melt for spring irrigation. Those crops (those famous Washington cherries on sale in grocery stores throughout the country right now) can grow in dry Washington summers thanks to the ice in the high peaks.
And it isn't just people who rely on glaciers. Bull trout spawn in cold glacial streams and salmon need the cooler water to make their summer runs. In 2015, after a disastrously low snowpack year, hundreds of sockeye salmon died in the Columbia River, the water too warm to sustain their annual journey.
But, something I've realized also in my research is that glaciers are more accessible to people all around the country than is often realized. In the Wind Rivers, I encountered a glacier whose run off eventually funnels into the Missouri river system and the Colorado. Throughout the midwest, the fertile soils of America's agricultural heartland are made of glacial till left behind by the massive Laurentide Ice Sheet 12-13,000 years ago. For thousands of years, glaciers have been molding and shifting the landscapes of North America, just as they continue to do today.
Which is all to say, no matter how distant you think you are from glaciers, with a little time and attention, you'll find you're probably a lot closer than you think.

What is CIC you may ask yourself? It's stand for Color Imaging Conference, a conference about color and imaging. This year it took place in Darmstadt DE. The last 22 editions always took place in the US, last year it was in Boston MA, two years ago in Albuquerque NM, three years ago in Los Angeles CA, four years ago in San Antonio TX and that's it for my involvement. Next stop is San Diego CA in November 2016.
I'm a regular attendee, I joined this community already ten years ago alternating between CGIV, AIC, EI and CIC. Depending of the event you will meet a slightly different crowd or so to say different crowds will meet allowing to go deeper in the various fields represented. But for sure it's about imaging, color, perception, printing, archiving, image acquisition, color management, camera and display calibration, gamut mapping and more.
This year almost 200 persons were attending the event in Darmstadt. There is a kind of routine in such event and being part of the committee allows you to see the people interaction with a special look. It's very special to see the attendees - former colleagues, friends, known members of this community - arriving from everywhere almost - from North America, Europe, Asia, Australia... - and being all jet-lagged. Even if you are traveling in the same time zone you will end up jet-lagged. First of all the schedule is tide and you have to use the "free" time to talk with everybody. Sharing a meal or a beer is usually very appropriate. As a result you barely have time to rest, but the kind of adrenaline you get from meeting the crème de la crème of the color scientists keeps you awake.

The daily chart shows the pair has topped out – hanging man and a bearish follow through.More importantly, the spot closed yesterday well below the 50% of Thursday's rally.
Construction PMI will be out at the top of this hour. being the least important of the three – manufacturing, services and construction – I don't expect const. PMI to move the cable in a big way. A blowout figure might see Cable jump, but that would only be a 'sell on rise' opportunity…
Only a daily close above 1.3031 would convince me to go for long Cable trade
Daily chart
1.2926 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement of 1.2589-1.3031 is offering support, but is likely to be taken out ahead in the day.

You're looking at a car that has no equal. This 1960 Chevrolet Corvette is the kind of restomod that takes the ionic style and adds everything you could want. So while you're enjoying the performance of beautifully presented crate V8 and the comfort of an A/C interior, you'll also be winning awards in a unique build that has been customized over every inch.
This is a bit stealthy from the first impression. The slick black paint with iconic silver coves just looks like the two-tone of a painstakingly restored first-generation Corvette. This restomod retains the iconic design lines that made this America's sports car. The subtle power bulges in the hood, rounded fender lines, and hint of tailfin are all pieces we love to see on a C1. And like any good '60s machine there was plenty of brightwork. Everything from the intricate form-fitting split bumpers, to the toothy grille, to delicate trim that runs the full-length of the front fender – it all has the mirror-like quality of serious investment. But it also isn't hard to spot that this is an upgraded machine. The large Boyd Coddington 18-inch alloys completely fill the wheel wells with modern performance for a far more aggressive stance.
While this one comes with a deep black folding roof that looks great against the exterior, we really know that your favorite days will be the ones with the top off. After all, the red interior just looks like it's radiating performance from within this slick machine. The fresh and correct bucket seats fit so perfectly between the C1's iconic waterfall tonneau. The same red is used for the doors, dash, shift boot, and even carpet piping. Plus, we bet you wish they made jackets out of this carpet's premium weave. The total impression makes for a striking and uniform package that gets kudos on the interior alone. And more than just look fantastic, there are plenty of great comfort features like the custom lower dash that contains an AM/FM stereo w/aux input and controls for ice-cold modern R134a air conditioning – that way you can stay cool while looking cool driving with the top down any time of year. You'll rest you right hand on the Lokar shifter, your right one on the custom red/chrome steering wheel, and gaze at cool blue glow of the Dakota Digital gauges. All of these tells your senses to get ready for something special, even before you twist the key and hear the roar of the exhaust.
Everywhere you park, you won't be able to resist lifting the hood and showing off. Just like the rest of this classic, you're looking at a heavy investment in show-worthy components. The black engine bay looks great against the glossy black valve covers and matching air topper with classic Corvette graphic. And the tidy packaging is a nice indication of the upgrade to this V8. You're looking at performance crate motor with only about 9,200 miles on the whole build. Plus, it has performance upgrades like the bright Edelbrock Performer intake, Edelbrock cylinder heads, MSD Ignition, and Sanderson headers. Out on the road, this handles like no C1 that you know. The Jim Meyer Racing suspension components include great upgrades like tubular A-arms up front, a four-link rear, and adjustable coilovers at each wheel. Plus, the modern grip of Nitto Extreme NT555 tires and disc brakes at every wheel give you a total superior handling package. But a true restomod is more than just a great performance machine. It's easier to drive everywhere, too. That's why you have a four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive, power steering, and an aluminum radiator w/electric fan to keep it all running cool even if you're in traffic with the A/C pumping.
This is a vintage C1 for the upper echelon, and we have the build receipts as proof. It usually takes a lifetime to get a car looking like this, but if you're lucky enough, the ultimate classic Corvette could be yours tomorrow. Call today!!!

Sometimes, you need to be optimistic even with the worst possible cases.
The Publication is in great danger, so to speak. Everyone especially, the ones who will going to graduate are worried about this so called "the tragedy of the century".
Three expensive cameras were stolen here in the office. Everyone could not believe that this kind of tribulation would come in our way especially that, the publication is already enveloped with so many problems.
Yes, the publication is not important though. That is if you are a shallow-minded four-tailed pakshit!
Some people are just too insensitive in what's happening. I am not expecting them to become worried but at least, I am hoping that they would give sympathy and not act so DUMB!
If they think they are so COOL in acting like an animal, so be it. Act like a LION Pakshit!. Some people may have forgotten that this publication gave them benefits, and opportunities here in the university.
I am hoping that by the next time they talk TRASH, they would think first what would others feel about it.
ACTING PA"COOL" this time doesn't make you KING, it makes you look like an IDIOT.
I loved this idiot before, but I just don't get it. He just changed in the worst case ever! pakshit!
I don't have hard feelings though. Honestly, rampage is over by now.
I'll like this friend again the next day in hell. It's how it goes because we are not FAMILY here.
Go to Hell.
Go to Hell.
Okay. The rampage is over.

President Barack Obama will lease a residence in Washington, D.C.'s Kalorama neighborhood after he leaves the White House subsequent year, CNN has confirmed. During the very first half of the 20th century the new settlers to the land of sun and great climate did not stop with a mere property of stone, they built high churches and two story houses, as effectively. If you are decorating an old property with some original features, consider about taking design inspiration from functions such as Victorian floor or fireplace tiles, then making use of this motif in stencilled borders, etched glass, or painted floors.
They have not however photographed each and every home in America, so some addresses you search for may possibly be unavailable. Men and women wondered why the original house or the interiors could not be saved… or taken apart and rebuilt somewhere else as a historic constructing… or at the extremely least been rebuilt a lot more sympathetic to the style of the original.
We made a walkway out of stepping stones that have been left subsequent to the house by the earlier owners. The dimensions are 28 in depth (common sofa depth), height from seat 16 in (fairly standard), length 5 feet (length was created to fit in my tiny house). This reflects the power girls were gaining more than such key decisions as purchasing a property.
Google maps displays your home and front yard, a handy web mapping service application for home buyers, or to support find that celebration you happen to be invited to at a home in an unfamiliar neighborhood. These days the carriage residence functions as the visitor center, museum retailer, and exhibit hall, the starting point for visitors searching to tour the Flavel House museum. The listing agreement lists all the terms of the agreement amongst you and your agent, along with other brokers and agents (considered sub-agents in California) who will be displaying your property to possible purchasers.
The house is created from a normal 40 foot shipping container and is situated in the San Antonio artists neighborhood. Excellent recommendations for these who are remodeling or buying a home for their elderly folks. This is such a timely hub for me. My home literally just sold, and it is a lot diverse when you are attempting to sell then when you are buying. In Rolling Stone magazine in the mid 70's he describes how the undesirable vibes got to him.

The technology, reliability, and ease of use of FieldView are among the reasons that the top automotive company in Japan and the top aerospace company in the world have standardized on FieldView for their CFD post-processing. Leading engineering organizations are growing and improving their capabilities at a tremendous rate often putting distance between them and their competitors.
Performance improvements from advanced memory management are changing the game for many customers. The new Smart LInked Memory, or SLIM, increases the data capacity on all systems. One Formula 1 racing customer can now view entire vehicle models on Windows systems that previously had to be explored in subsystems. For Windows users, the native and optimized Windows 64 server requires no compatibility or emulation tools and delivers outstanding performance.
Much more than a performance release, FIELDVIEW Version 12 brings support for best-in-class technologies such as the use of arbitrary polyhedral elements. We've worked closely with our partners at Ansys and CD-adapco to handle these elements in their native form to ensure accuracy and the faithful representation of the data, explains FieldView product manager Matthew Godo, Ph.D.
FieldView now supports post-processing of structural analysis data. With FieldView Version 12, LS-DYNA simulation data can be easily read into and post-processed bringing powerful analysis, animation, and large data capabilities to this community. This is an ideal joint solution for Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) simulations. The structural analysis support will expand as additional data readers are made available as plug-ins to the initial release.
Dr. Godo added, "Weve added the ability to read FSI and crash simulation data from LS-DYNA and we are proud to deliver the results of our collaboration with LSTC to our customers."
"Many LS-DYNA customer organizations are already FieldView users for CFD. LSTC engineers have worked closely with Intelligent Light to support the development of CAE post-processing capabilities for LS-DYNA data within FieldView. We welcome FieldView as a tool to increase productivity and enhance both the interrogation of and presentation of simulation results," said Wayne L. Mindle, Ph. D., technical sales engineer at Livermore Software Technology Corporation (LSTC). "Customers with large simulations will benefit from the rich heritage and capabilities for handling large, transient data that have been a part of FieldView for many years."
Users in all industries will benefit from the simplicity of the new one-click animation capability. It is now simple to create animations of simulation results with the click of a single button. The linking of surfaces and datasets allows this to be done for multiple transient datasets as required for FSI and other multi-physics applications.
"It is exciting to simultaneously extend the capabilities of FIELDVIEW while bringing its culture, reliability, and well known ease of use to new analyst communities, Dr. Godo concludes. Our commitment to user productivity is reflected in this release with new automation functions in FieldView FVX and the ability to capture available hardware resources for optimal performance and multitasking."
Many analysts have used FieldView over the years and have moved into other roles where FieldView is not available to them. The tremendous changes to FieldView capabilities are causing analysts and managers to consider FieldView again. When they do, they find the same simple, efficient, reliable environment they appreciate and are familiar with along with new functionality including the ability to handle their FSI and CAE data, different solvers, arbitrary polyhedral elements, and 2-D plotting needs. FieldView has become the most comprehensive post-processing and visualization tool on the market today.
About Intelligent Light
Intelligent Light, located in Rutherford, New Jersey, was founded in 1984 with a mission to provide the scientific and engineering community with the best possible tools for understanding data and communicating results. The company provides CFD post-processing and big data visualization capability, under the industry leading FieldView brand, to thousands of HPC users in the aerospace, automotive and general manufacturing industries. Their unique development team is composed of CFD leaders, computer scientists, and visualization experts focused on listening to clients and delivering products that meet their needs.

Excess or unwanted hair is a common cosmetic concern. Sometimes, excess hair can be a result of an underlying endocrine abnormality, a medication or disease. More commonly, it is the result of genetics. Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures and can be safely and effectively performed on most body parts.
Permanent damage to the hair follicle is achieved when a pigmented hair beneath the skin's surface absorbs laser energy. For this reason, ideal candidates are those individuals with coarse, darkly pigmented hairs on a background of lighter skin. That said, laser hair removal can be safely achieved with the proper device and proper settings on individuals with all skin types.
On any given day, only a portion (about 20%) of the hairs within a given treatment area will be actively growing and thus susceptible to permanent damage. Therefore, multiple treatments are necessary to achieve the desired effect. The ideal interval between successive treatments is 4-12 weeks (depending on the treatment area).
A thorough understanding of laser-tissue interactions is essential to achieve optimal results safely and efficiently.
All Co-pay and deductibles are to be collected at the time of service.

Book Review: "Secret Sisters" by Tristi Pinkston
Okay, before I get to the review, I have to get something off my chest. I read a lot of books. I mean, really. Because I love reading. And I read lots of young adult books because, well, that's my genre and what I need to know, and those are the stories I love. But.
Lately, YA books have been getting heavy. Or, at least, the best ones are. Heavy in topic. Heavy in emotion. Heavy in words and pages. Yikes! And even though I'm dying to read them, I find myself staring at the stacks of books on my nightstand warily, putting off opening them because I know that the minute I do, I'll be sucked into a world of drama.
That's how I like my YA books.
But no one can read ALL drama, all the time. To do so would be, well, exhausting. Which is why I also have a grand appreciation for short, entertaining books that make me laugh out loud. You know what I mean? Feel good books.
But I'm picky. Always. I still insist on reading books with well defined characters, thoughtful plots, and just all around good writing. Let's face it. A writer's style and voice can make or break the book.
The point is I've been excited for the release of Secret Sisters for something like two years. Ever since Tristi brought the first chapters of this book to our critique group, I've been completely hooked. (And just so you all know, this is the first in a multi-book series, so I'm still hooked.)
Right off the bat, I fell in love with Ida Mae. She's so matter-of-fact and thoughtful, and just downright fun. Put her together with her sidekicks…er, I mean, Relief Society counselors, Tansy and Arlette, secretary Hannah, and zany—and totally hunky—nephew Ren, and let the spying...um, I mean, sleuthing, um, I mean, investigating begin.
This cast of characters will have you laughing out loud in the middle of the day, perhaps while you're in the grocery store or driving your car, when out of the blue a great line pops into your head. One such as, "Sister Babbitt, why is the Relief Society here?"
Yes, that really happened. And people stared. I appeared to be nuts. Don't worry, I'm used to it.
If you're looking for a quick, light-hearted read that will have you giggling for days after you've finished, add Secret Sisters to your list. This one's a keeper. Thank goodness it's the first of a series. I know there will be several more books to which I can look forward.
**Afterthought** In reading my own words, it sounds like this is a young adult book, which it is not. Although, young adults would probably like it too. This book has been classified as chick-lit for the elderly. Or just plain old fun!
Here's the blurb:
Ida Mae Babbitt, president of the Omni 2nd Ward Relief Society, didn't mean to become a spy. But when visiting teaching stats are low, and she learns that one family under her care is in financial trouble, she'll do whatever it takes to make sure they have what they need. If that includes planting surveillance cameras in their home and watching them from a parked car in the woods…well, isn't that what any caring Relief Society president would do?
With the help of her counselors, Arlette and Tansy, Ida Mae soon learns that there's more to the situation than meets the eye.
But it's all in a day's work for the Relief Society.

I agree with you about just needing a slice of happy/lighthearted. I just think it's so necessary in such a "downer" world. (Sometimes downer. Not always.) This book was one such slice of joy.

Protecting your ideas
Patent, trademarks, designs and copyright information.
Copyright, Patents, Trademarks and Registered Designs
Got an idea for a new product? Do you have a new logo or design? While it remains simply an idea, you have no protection in law, but once you have put your idea on paper (or some other permanent format) it can be protected and can then be regarded as your intellectual property.
It is important to understand how to protect your intellectual property, allowing you to profit from your own work while prevent others from doing so.
Business @ The Mitchell can help you find the right protection for your intellectual property from the four main types:
- Copyright: protects creative works such as literary, dramatic, musical or artistic
- Patents: protects new inventions or technology and improved products or processes
- Registered designs: protects the aesthetic appearance or the visual design of a product
- Trademarks: protects words, phrases, symbols or logos that distinguish goods or services.
PATLIB UK: Intellectual Property Information Centre
The Mitchell Library is one of the Patent Information Centres (also known as PATLIBs) that are available throughout the UK.
PATLIBs were created to provide users with local access to patent, trade mark, designs and copyright information.
The centres have qualified and experienced staff who offer practical assistance on a variety of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).

Intellectual Property: Copyright
What is Copyright?
Copyright protects your work and stops others from using it without your permission.
Copyright allows creators of the following types of original work to control how their work is used; literary, dramatic, musical and artistic work; sound recordings, film and broadcasts; and typographical arrangements in a published edition of literary, dramatic or musical work.
There is no need to apply for copyright; under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA), copyright arises automatically as soon as an eligible original work is recorded. The copyright in an original work belongs to its creator, unless they have agreed otherwise or the work is created during employment.
Copyright in literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work, and copyright in films, expires 70 years after the death of the work's creator. Copyright in sound recordings and broadcasts expire 50 years after the work is created.

Intellectual Property: Patents
What is a Patent?
Patents protect new inventions; they cover how something works, what they do, how they do it, what they are made of and how they are made.
They are granted by a patenting authority to the inventor or applicant and they prevent others from making, using, selling and profiting from the invention without permission. In the UK this is done through the Intellectual Property Office (IPO). For protection in Europe you can apply to the European Patent Office (EPO) and further afield to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
For a patent to be granted, the technology or process should fulfill the following conditions:
- Involve an inventive step
- Be new and not known anywhere in the world prior to filing
- Be capable of being used or made in industry
If you have invented something that could be commercially successful and it meets the criteria above you might want to consider applying for a patent.
Business @ The Mitchell can help you search our resources to see if a patent has already been granted.

Searching for Patents
Over 30 million patents have been published world wide and approximately 1 million new ones are published every year.
This makes patents the largest single body of technical information available. It's estimated that around 80% of the information disclosed in patents is never published anywhere else, so it's important to be able to search them.
- Online databases: GB Espacenet (UK), EP Espacenet (European) and WIPO PatentScope (World)
- ESPACE® ACCESS is a DVD search tool giving bibliographic data on European patent applications and PCT pamphlets including searchable abstracts in English. The data is fully downloadable. Hyperlinks enable access to complete documents on Espacenet. Links are also available to the International Patent Classification Scheme (IPC) on the World Intellectual Property Organization website.
- DERWENT WORLD PATENTS INDEX (DWPI) produced by Thomson Scientific, provides access to information from more than 26.3 million patent documents, giving details of over 12.8 million inventions, from 40 patent authorities
- DERWENT PATENT CITATION INDEX(DPCI), produced by Thomson Scientific, provides access to 54.5 million patent and literature citations found in 5.5 million patent families.
- INPADOC/FAMILY AND LEGAL STATUS brings together patent families, i.e., all equivalent patents that share common priorities for a particular invention. The patent families contain information on over 50 million patents and 42 million legal status actions.
Intellectual Property: Registered Designs
What are registered designs?
Registered designs protect the appearance of an object in the geographical region in which you register it. The visual appearance of an object can include colour, shape, pattern, texture, material, etc. Registered designs can include clothes, puzzles, furniture and medical equipment.
There are three ways of protecting a design in the UK under the Registered Designs Act 1949 and the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988:
- Unregistered design right: automatic
- Design registration
- Copyright
To be registered a design needs to be new and have individual character. To search if your design is new you can contact:
- The National Archives which holds hardcopy records for non-textile registered designs prior to January 91 and for textile designs prior to August 89
- The UK Intellectual Property Office which holds more recent hardcopy of registered designs and hosts an Image Search Service on its website
Protection usually last for five years with the option of renewing every five years up to a maximum of 25 years.

Intellectual Property: Trademarks
What is a trademark?
A trade mark is a sign, symbol or other distinguishing mark that distinguish the goods or services of one provider from another. They cannot include common surnames, geographical names, registered company names or anything implying royal patronage.
Searching for and registering trademarks
Business @ The Mitchell can find out if a mark is already registered for you using the online MARQUESA subscription database – contact us with any query or visit the library to use this free service.
Once your Trade Mark is registered you must pay a fee every ten years to keep it protected and prove that it has been used in commerce without becoming too generic (ie. Hoover) to renew it.
There are several other online resources where you can search for existing trade marks and register your own:
UK Intellectual Property Office Search for UK trade marks and apply to register a trade mark.
Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM) The Trade Marks and Designs Registration of the European Union.
United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) The US agency for granting US patents and trade marks

Seattle, Wash., Sept. 28 (Associated Press).--The American army round-the-world fliers completed the circuit of the globe this afternoon, landing at Sand Point Field at 1:36 P. M., Pacific Time, after
hopping off from Eugene, Ore., at 10:02 A. M.
Sirens shrieked as the planes flew over the city and thousands of voices roared a welcome at the field. Among the first to greet the fliers was Major Martin, who commanded the flight at the start.
Lieutenant Smith was the first to land. He was followed by Lieutenant Wade and then Lieutenant Nelson. The Commander landed at 1:36, the others at 1:37:50 and 1:38:35, respectively. Flying conditions were ideal as the aviators made their last lap.
Two minutes after they stepped from their planes each of the six aviators received the following telegram from President Coolidge:
"On final completion of your flight I desire to again offer my congratulations and express to you the thanks of your country.
"Under the law I do not understand that I have authority suitably to reward you by promotion and other appropriate action.
"I wish, however, to announce to you that on the convening of Congress I shall recommend that such authority be granted in order that your distinguished services may have a practical recognition from your country."
More trouble with Lieutenant Wade's engine, which had delayed him on the San Francisco lap, caused the fliers to land at Vancouver. Repairs on the Boston II were quickly made and the flight was resumed at 11:37 A. M.
Kisses Great One Flier
Lieutenant Leslie Arnold was hugged and kissed when he alighted by his mother, Mrs. Cora Arnold, and his sister, Mrs. Frances Cole, of Spokane, Wash., who had not seen him since he started on the flight.
The airplanes on landing taxied in a large circle to the reviewing stand with the Chicago at the left, the Boston II in the centre and the New Orleans at the right while a band played.
Ropes were strung around the machines and the reception committee gathered to greet the fliers. Lieutenant Smith stepped from the cockpit of his machine and made a short address to the committee. The crowd that had gathered was so large that the reception
was curtailed merely to a shaking of hands and "glad you're here" from the reception committee.
Each of the fliers received a large bouquet of dahlias which they took with them to a private luncheon aboard a yacht.
A huge "Welcome" sign with letters twenty feet high had been erected and as the planes flew over the city whistles and automobile horns sent up shrieking greetings. Among the vessels on the lake awaiting the fliers was the Canadian destroyer
Patrician, whose officers had been delegated by their Government to extend the congratulations of Canada.
Nine airplanes from Sand Point, under the command of Major D. C. Emmons, commander of Crissy Field, San Francisco, left the field just before the fliers were expected to escort them. The world circlers were accompanied from Eugene by Lieutenants J. A.
Brockhurst and George W. Goddard, who made a photographic record of the flight across the country, and Lieutenant Burdette Wright and Sergeant J. F. Kennedy.
Lieutenant Wright acted as advance officer of the flight and was the first of accompanying airplanes to arrive, making a graceful landing at 12:25 P.M. He did not stop at Vancouver Barracks.
General Morton Praises Feat
The informal ceremonies immediately following the landing over, the fliers were taken to Madison Park, where they were greeted by approximately 5,000 persons. From there they were taken by automobiles to Volunteer Park, where a formal reception was given
them. Lieutenant Smith rode in a car covered with flowers. His name was spelled out with dahlias in front.
The crowd that awaited the fliers at Volunteer Park was estimated at 50,000. Short talks were made here by Major Edwin J. Brown, Lieut. Gov. W. J. Coyle, Rear Admiral J. V. Case and Major Gen. Charles G. Norton, who represented President Coolidge and
Secretary of War Weeks.
He said in part:
"The conquering by air for the first time in history of the hitherto uncharted air route over the Pacific Ocean by the perilous traversing of typhoon-swept areas of Japan and China; the pushing on through days of sweltering heat and tropical rains
in Indo-China. Burma and India; and, after the comparative safety of Europe, the unflinching answering of the formidable challenge of the fog encompassed and icelocked stretches of the North Atlantic--these
are facts that are dipped in an indelible dye--the nucleus of a story that will fire the imagination of old and young alike as long as appreciation of human accomplishment shall endure.
"The flight clinches beyond further dispute the argument for strengthening our national air forces. It also proves the urgency for commercial aviation, a branch related to our country's air defense. One of the most valuable features of our pioneer
globe flight is that it has drawn the family of nations a little closer together.
"The encircling of the globe has been an acid test and a brilliant proof of expert flying and mechanical ability; it has meant the complete subordination of the individual to his task; the unflinching acceptance of terrific hazards; the overcoming
of what appeared to be almost insurmountable difficulties. I can but reiterate our gratitude to you, our gratitude for bringing to America, the birthplace of aviation, the gift that it has rightfully
inherited--world air prestige."
Flight Took 5 Months 22 Days
The historic flight which ended today was started officially by four planes from Seattle at 8:30 A. M. on Sunday, April 6, under command of Major Frederick L. Martin in the flag plane Seattle, and was completed in five months and twenty-two days by two
of the original machines and the Boston II, a spare air cruiser sent to Pictou Harbor, N. S., for Lieutenant Wade, whose machine was wrecked near the Faroe Islands on Aug. 21.
The personnel of the flight included Major Martin, commander, and his mechanician, Staff Sergeant Alva L. Harvey, who were missing for ten days after the Seattle was wrecked on April 30 on a mountain in Alaska and they were forced to quit the expedition;
Lieutenant Lowell H. Smith, commander after Major Martin's accident and pilot of the flag plane Chicago; Lieutenant Erik H. Nelson, pilot of the New Orleans; Lieutenant Leigh Wade, pilot of
the ill-fated Boston, and Lieutenants Leslie P. Arnold, John Harding Jr. and Henry H. Ogden, mechanics.
The route of the aviators traversed or touched twenty-one foreign countries and twenty- five States and one Territory of the Union. A total of fifty-seven hops were made, with an average of 483 miles to each jump.
With each air cruiser consuming twenty gallons of gasoline in an hour of flying, the three planes used, in approximately 351 flying hours, 21,060 gallons. Each plane used about thirty gallons of oil every 2,400 miles.
Army to Reward Aviators
Washington. Sept. 28.--Arrival of the army world fliers today at Seattle, officially completing the first air circuit of the earth, will be followed by the preparation of a report by them from which valuable data will be extracted, for the benefit of
all Government agencies having to do with aeronautics. In this way their experiences and the lessons they learned will be made available not only to their brother officers but to the Navy, Post Office
and other departments engaged in phases of aerial navigation, both military and commercial.
Agencies interested in the scientific results of the flight today said its real value would be found, not in historical reckoning but in the scientific account of the aviators' experiences.
Major General Patrick, chief of the Army Air Service, declared it was the intention of the War Department to do everything in its power to compensate the aviators fully and Secretary Weeks also is pledged to see that they are treated in accordance with
the broadest reach of the law and army regulations regarding promotion and financial considerations.
The War Secretary has stated his intention to have the fliers repaid for any personal financial loss either by the department of by special authorization of Congress. Should these fail, he has said he would dig down into his own pockets.
Round World Records Shattered
Four world records were shattered when the army planes completed their 27,000-mile flight.
The first was broken when the Americans crossed the Pacific Ocean from Attu Island to Paramashiru Island in the Kuriles of Japan. This 900-mile stretch was the longest jump of the entire trip. It was made in twelve hours and five minutes of flying time.
The second title came when the fliers crossed a 500-mile stretch over the China Sea from Kagoshima, Japan, to Shanghai, China. This was the first time the China Sea had been crossed by air. The third
honor was the completion of the round-the-world flight, a feat never before achieved by man in heavier-than-air machines.
Lastly, the intrepid Magellans of the air theoretically set a speed mark for traveling around the globe. The entire 27,000-mile trip was made in approximately 366.71 hours of actual flying, although the expedition was on the trip nearly 150 days after
leaving Seattle.
When the birdmen reached Constantinople, Turkey, they had covered 16,180 miles in 225 hours of flying, or an average of 76.36 miles an hour.
By encircling the globe in the flying time of fifteen days, six hours, the army aviators surpassed the notable feat of John H. Mears, who, in 1913, went around the world by ship, train and other modes of travel in thirty-five days, twenty-one hours, thirty-six
minutes. He had broken the records set by Nellie Bly, who, as a reporter, in 1889, circled the globe in seventy-two days, six hours and eleven minutes; by Henry Frederick, who, in 1903, cut her time
to fifty-four days, seven hours and two minutes, and by Andre Jaeger- Schmidt, who encircled the earth in thirty-nine days, nineteen hours, forty-two minutes and thirty-eight seconds in 1911.
For the 27,000-mile flight of the army officers special Douglas air cruisers were built in California. Each was driven by a 400-horsepower Liberty motor and had a cruising radius, with auxiliary gasoline tanks of 1,500 to 2,000 miles. They were the only
planes of their type in the world.
Attempts of Other Nations
Aviators of three other nations made attempts last Summer to fly round the world.
Major Sarmento De Beires and two other Portuguese officers flew from Lisbon to Macao, wrecking one plane, replacing it and landing the other in a cemetery whence they could not take off and where the machine was dismantled.
Major A. Stuart MacLaren and two other British soldiers left Calshot, England, March 25, in one plane, put a new machine into service at Akyab, India, and wrecked the latter by hitting a heavy sea when trying to avoid a small island in alighting near
Nikolski Bay on August 3.
Major Pedro Zanni of Argentina started at Amsterdam, July 26, and at last account was pushing his way through the Orient, intending to follow the route of the Americans in the reverse direction.

My daughter is getting married in November in England, and as my dress has short sleeves I thought this wrap would be perfect for those times when we will probably be outdoors. It does not seem so long on me as it does in the picture, particularly with regards to covering my upper arms, but it is so cosy I don't care! The clasp is beautiful - definitely unexpected - and I hadn't realised when I order it that there are some beads on the back, which really finishes it off nicely.
Very happy with this purchase.
