Mayor Gordon Armstrong – 1950
When Whitehorse was incorporated as a city in 1950, the first Mayor was a jovial character with an infectious smile and impeccable work ethic. Gordon Armstrong needed those qualities and more. The tiny town was a disorganized hodgepodge of many temporary residential shacks, and businesses that counted on the largess of an elected, but largely impotent Territorial Council, for the few funds it could muster.
Gordon was born in Whitehead, the district of Saskatchewan, in 1905. He arrived in Whitehorse in 1929 to work as a butcher for the Burns Meat Packing store, operated by the venerable T.C. Richards, owner of the Whitehorse Inn.
By 1950, with four newly elected Aldermen, Mayor Armstrong had much civic work to do. There was no city hall, so the five men met at various locations to conduct business for a town that was about to grow from a place filled with ramshackle shacks and, broken wooden sidewalks, and no sewer and water system. For the first two years, they held council meetings on the second floor of the Northern Commercial Building next to Taylor and Drury's on First Avenue.
Then they moved to Humme's Insurance offices on the corner of 3rd and Main. When the Canadian Army Signal Corps vacated its premises in a two-story building located on the site of the present-day city hall, the Mayor and Councilors moved in.
Whitehorse was maturing both in size and importance. It was the busy centre of navigation on the Yukon River where the White Pass still ran river boats, while the newly opened Alaska Highway was bringing both businesses and tourists.
The city's economic base had diversified to include mining, prospecting, transportation, government and tourism.
At their first meeting, Mayor Armstrong and the aldermen wondered how they would manage. The city had no tax base. Instead, it relied on meager Territorial Council grants. The legislative body met in far off Dawson City, still the Yukon's capital. In 1950, the Territorial Council handed over many functions carried out by the Territorial Government to the city, but federal funds dedicated to Whitehorse were limited, to say the least. That would soon change.
The first order of business for the first city council was to plan for a sewer and water system. Private wells and the honey bucket brigade required urgent attention, but where would the money come from?
In 1951, news flashed from Ottawa, from the Yukon's Member of Parliament, Aubrey Simmons, that the federal government had decided to move the capital to Whitehorse. As black as that day was for Dawsonites, it was the start of a new era in Whitehorse. The federal government amended the Yukon Act, increasing members on the Yukon Council, two of them to represent Whitehorse.
The federal government would immediately move the National Employment Service to Whitehorse. The federal government was now paying attention to the growing city under Mayor Armstrong. On August 15, 1952, the new Whitehorse Elementary High School was officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the main entrance of the school on Fourth Avenue.
On April 1, 1953, Whitehorse officially became the Capital of the Yukon Territory, the most westerly capital city in Canada. On April 2, 1954, the Mayor told residents that the cost of the proposed sewer and water installations in Whitehorse, to the individual homeowner, would be about $10.00 a month. After a city-wide plebiscite voting in favour, they would start work that summer with completion targeted for 1955.
In 1954, Gordon left the Burns Company and, with his nephew Bob Armstrong, started Yukon Sales, a wholesale distribution outfit. The company was a Walmart on wheels. With a converted panel truck, they delivered orders from Dawson City to Cassiar, and all points between. They sold anything that would sell. Gordon always claimed that he was the first to introduce Peak Frean biscuits, Blue Ribbon Tea and Willard's Chocolates to the Yukon.
The pair carried out much of the work from Gordon's historic home on Wood Street. The Armstrongs, with their only daughter Pat, lived in a three-room log house that was first owned by Dr. Frederick Cane, the Whitehorse postmaster in 1906. The house was originally a small three room log cabin, to which they attached a frame addition.
In the 1920s, the house was occupied by Captain Campbell, a pilot on the river boats, for whom it is now named. It is a wonder the Armstrong family ever got any rest, since the house is believed to be haunted by the ghost of a young boy who drowned in the 1940s. The ghost only appeared in one room, one of the early additions to the three room log house. There was a constant feeling of being watched, while the ghost often played "peek-a-boo".
At home, Gordon never forgot his first craft as a butcher, and was often called upon by friends to prepare the results of a successful moose hunt. He did this work in a garage in the back of his yard at 406 Wood.
In June 1954, the Federal Government announced plans to build a 120-bed hospital in Whitehorse. The old hospital, on Second and Hanson, no longer provided adequate health services for the developing city.
That summer, Mayor Armstrong entertained royalty. In August, the Duke of Edinburgh became the first "Royal" to visit the land of the Midnight Sun. They treated him to fine wine and a fun time on board the SS Klondike. It's a good thing Gordie was up on his local history because the Duke had many questions for the Mayor, especially about the portrait of the Can Can dancers that graced the walls of the Klondike's dining room.
On November 5, 1954, the modern Federal Building at the corner of Fourth and Main opened its doors to the public. Local athletes were none too happy because the building occupied their former ball diamond, but a new arena, curling rink and ball diamond, near the south end of Fourth Avenue, more that made up for the loss.
The Federal Building contained 60,000 square feet of office space, and housed the growing number of government departments. The Whitehorse Post Office moved out of its turn-of-the-century building at First Avenue & Lambert, and into the new streamlined quarters in the Federal Building.
1955 was a busy year for the Mayor and his four-member council. By September, the downtown core was piled with dirt. Deep, muddy trenches left gaping holes in the streets and the roar of heavy equipment filled the air. Sewer and water construction was underway. Nevertheless, residents were not duty-bound to install the system into their homes. In fact, residents had to apply if they wanted to reap the benefits of the multimillion-dollar project.
Also, in September, work on the Yukon River's first real bridge was underway. A 300-foot, three-span structure was going to reach the area that would become the city's new subdivision.
The following spring, Governor-General Vincent Massey officially opened the span and revealed its name. The Robert Campbell Bridge connected old Whitehorse to the new subdivision called Riverdale. It was an important day for us school kids too. The Governor-General, on his first visit to the Yukon, proclaimed a school holiday. Mr. Massey, like the Mayor, was a popular fellow.
Many improvements during the '50s, including a few paved streetsand concrete sidewalks, were carried out under the Mayor's tenure.
However, it wasn't all business for Mayor Gordon Armstrong, although he and his small council were obviously busy making their mark on the future of Whitehorse. He loved to fish and, according to his son-in-law, Graham George, there was scarcely a river in the Yukon that avoided his rod and reel. Frequent fishing trips were always, said Graham, accompanied by a bottle of good Scotch whiskey.
In 1958, after eight hectic years, Gordon Cameron succeeded Gordon Armstrong as Mayor. But he had left his mark in the city's history. He had helped the town rise from a frontier northern village to a modern city, with amenities of which the early pioneers could only dream.
In 1962, the Armstrongs moved to Vancouver, but Gordon frequently returned to the Territory while still operating his Yukon Sales Company. Gordon Armstrong, the first Mayor of Whitehorse, passed away in Vancouver in 1993, and was laid to rest in Kelowna, British Columbia.

Al Kulan
Canada's centennial year, 1967, was an exciting time in the Yukon. There were all kinds of celebrations and projects. Unnamed mountains were being climbed. The Yukon River flotilla saw boats of every description heading from Whitehorse to Dawson. Most of the events were huge successes. However, I recall, that one expensive project didn't seem to take hold.
Al Kulan, who had arrived in the Yukon as a broke prospector in the late forties, finally struck it rich in the lead-zinc region of Ross River.
In 1967, he was trying to give someting back to the community. He donated $25,000, a lot of money then, to plant trees on Lewis Boulevard.
Try as they might, the organizers could never get the trees to grow. Today, maybe, but back then, nope!
If he had trouble with trees, the legendary mining man had better luck with hardrock mines.
Al was born in Toronto in 1921 and joined the Canadian Army Tank Corps in 1939. After the war, he vowed he'd never work for anyone again. So he began the sometimes lonely life of a prospector.
In July 1953, Kulan found a heavy concentration of rust close to Vangorda Creek, near Ross River, which led to major lead-zinc discoveries.
In 1964, Kulan helped form Dynasty Explorations to search for marketable ore bodies in the Vangorda area. The word Dynasty was on everyone's lips. A Klondike-like bonanza, everyone agreed.
But a project of this size required money, so Dynasty joined with Cyprus Mines Corp. to form Anvil Mining, which developed the Faro deposit. The Faro mine became Canada's leading lead-zinc producer and started the biggest mining action since the gold rush. It operated for more than 20 years and established Yukon as a major supplier of base metals.
However, Kulan was not content to rest on his success or his wealth. In the seventies, while looking for iron ore deposits, Kulan rediscovered a deposit of the gemstone, lazulite, which turned out to contain the world's best specimens. He also discovered a group of new phosphate minerals found nowhere else in the world.
Well-formed crystals of lazulite occur in only a few places, including the Yukon where the colour and crystalline qualities are among the finest in the world.
In February 1976, the azure-blue rock was proclaimed the Yukon's official gemstone. The discovery of Yukon gemstones led to the formation of the Alan Kulan Memorial lectures sponsored by the University of Toronto, the Yukon Chamber of Mines and the Yukon Geoscience Foundation.
September 12th, 1977. On that fateful day, Al Kulan was holding a business meeting in the Ross River lounge. A local resident, John Rolls, walked over to the table and, without warning, fired a shot from a .357 Magnum revolver. Al Kulan, the Yukon's most famous prospector, was dead. Shock waves reverberated through the mining community and beyond.
The Yukon's Prospectors' Association inducted Kulan into the Yukon Hall of Fame in 1988. His name is engraved in the bronze three-metre-tall prospectors' statue on Main Street and Third Avenue.
In January 2005, Alan Kulan was inducted into the Canadian Mining hall of fame in Toronto.

Lionel Stokes
Here at home, I have a beat-up old curling broom. A real broom. Not the kind of shot-enhancing devices that curlers use these days to control the speed and curl of the rocks. Nope, this one is a real corn broom. The kind that used to make such a racket in the hands of good sweepers that even Russ Howard had a hard time being heard over the smack of corn broom on ice.
The broom I have is well used. Well worn. Almost worn out, in fact. But you can still read the name written, by felt marker, on the cloth covering. One word. Stokes. He's the guy who gave me the broom, back in 1977, at the Macdonald's Brier in Montreal. Lionel was shooting second stones for skip Don Twa's Yukon foresome that year.
At the end of round-robin play, the Yukon finished with a respectable record of five wins and six loses, much better than northern teams usually fare in men's national competition these days. But not nearly as good as this team did the first time the north was directly entered in the Brier. That came two years earlier, in 1975, when skip Don Twa, third Chuck Haines, second Kip Boyd and lead Lionel Stokes nearly won the Brier.
Staged in Fredericton, New Brunswick, the north, for the first time, had a direct entry into the Brier and Don Twa's team from Whitehorse was it. How well did they do? you ask. Well, the winner, Northern Ontario, had to make an almost impossible last rock shot in their last game to finish with a record of 9 wins and 2 losses - there were no playoffs then - while the boys from the Yukon finished with 8 wins and 3 losses. Never again has the Territories team come that close, and maybe they never will.
Lionel Stokes had a lot to do with that fantastic result. Two years later, in 1977, the Twa rink was back in Brier final. Lionel was now throwing second stones and, even though the final placing was not like the 1975 showing, Lionel was named the All-Star Second. The best second in Canada. He was that good.
Through it all, he became a renowned team player and dedicated curling organizer. In 1973 and 1974, Lionel and his team toured Europe on a goodwill curling marathon that gained the Yukon and Canada recognition worldwide.
In addition to his athletic ability, Lionel spent many years serving on Yukon curling committees, organizing curling events, and initiated the Bert Boyd Memorial Trophy.
So while you are in Whitehorse, take a moment and visit the Edgewater Hotel and dining room. The food is great, but more important - especially for curlers - is the chance to meet Lionel Stokes, a member of the Yukon Sports hall of fame, and oh so close to being Brier champ. Oh yes, please tell him Les McLaughlin still has his 1977 Brier broom.

This Organization Does Not Tolerate Failure.
James Bond is back! And so, it would seem, is the SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion. Check out this awesome poster for the movie, featuring a new, stylized throwback to the classic SPECTRE logo designed as the shatter from a bullet hole.
SPECTRE. Just… SPECTRE. LOVE it. 'Nuff said.
Last year, EON Productions managed to finally settle the long-running Thunderball rights dispute over SPECTRE with Kevin McClory – or I guess I should say with the estate of Kevin McClory, since the man himself died in 2006 at the age of 80, never having truly realized his dream of establishing a competing Bond film franchise. The closest he ever came was with black-sheep Bond flick Never Say Never Again, which is to say not very close at all, despite featuring brilliant bad-guy casting such as Max Von Sydow as SPECTRE chief Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Klaus Maria Brandauer as psychotic second-in-command Largo, and Barbara Carrerra as the murderous Fatima Blush—and despite managing, in something of a coup, to entice Sean Connery back to the lead character (the film's title, in fact, was suggested by Connery's wife Micheline, is in reference to his famous answer to the question of whether he'd ever again portray Bond on the screen: "Never again.").
So we haven't seen SPECTRE or Blofeld on the screen since 1983, even though that's who everybody wanted to see, because Blofeld apparently escaped at the climax of Diamonds Are Forever. Which meant that Bond's search for revenge for the death of Tracy Bond was never resolved, even though Diamonds Are Forever actually began with Bond on a ruthless world-wide manhunt for Blofeld, specifically intending to kill him. Still, even though EON was barred from the use of SPECTRE and the associated characters, they certainly had Roger Moore face off with enough stand-ins meant to evoke them:
To be fair, EON did attempt to give us justice for Tracy with the ignominious death of the unnamed 'wheelchair villain' from For Your Eyes Only. But Tracy deserved better than such a short and almost comical sequence, and frankly so did we.
So then. Daniel Craig is back as Bond, and SPECTRE is back, and we can assume that Blofeld is also back, and even though not much information was given at today's press conference, the cast was introduced. And among that cast: Christoph Waltz. Gee, I wonder who that guy could be playing in the movie, hmmmmm? You're not fooling anybody with that 'Oberhauser' business, guys. I know a fake placeholder name when I see one. Also in the film: Léa Seydoux as Madeleine Swann; she was in Inglourious Basterds with Waltz, and also got her spy movie groove on with Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. I saw her most recently in this year's lush French Beauty and the Beast. The eternally-beautiful Monica Bellucci also stars as Lucia Sciarra, and I pray that she's been cast as a psycho SPECTRE agent. Her name certainly does being to mind classic Bond bad girls like Thunderball's Fiona Volpe. And big man Dave Bautista has also signed on as Mr. Hinx, hopefully as a hulking SPECTRE killer in the tradition of Red Grant. Groovy. Classic Bond all the way. Returning to the franchise are the cast established in Skyfall: Ralph Fiennes as M, Naomie Harris as Moneypenny, Ben Whishaw as Q, and Rory Kinnear as Bill Tanner.
But who is Andrew Scott playing? His character is listed as Denbigh, but that doesn't sound any more legit than Oberhauser, and they definitely had him grouped on the villainous side of the stage. Could he possibly be… Emilio Largo, SPECTRE's Number 2? And if so, could this indicate that SPECTRE is a remake of Thunderball? The mind boggles.
They also unveiled Bond's new Aston Martin, the DB10, which frankly looks like every other Aston Martin from the last 10 years, which is to say, not nearly enough like the classic DB5.
Casino Royale was amazing. And although I thought Quantum of Solace was something of a misstep, Skyfall was superb, so I'm very happy to see Sam Mendes returning to direct. It definitely set the proper mood for a return to the glory days of the Connery films, updated for modern sensibilities. What will this mean for the future? Will we begin to see a slate of remakes of the classic Bond films? I'm not opposed to the idea.

Hi Brian, Thanks for posting this, I have some experience to share, hopefully it will be useful. The process you describe is indeed how nginx (and I think Lighttpd) does it. I've used it a bunch with nginx and it works fine but I actually like mod_fcgi better. The process management was a little tricky to figure out at first (DefaultMinClassProcessCount has to be set to 0?): http://www.docunext.com/wiki/Mod_fcgid#mod_fcgid_Configuration But in the end, it is awesome for containing memory leaks and automatically re-spawning fastcgi processes. To be more explicit, in my experience when memory constraints are not an issue (>128MB total?), I've found Apache2 + mod_fcgid to be a far superior solution to all the alternatives I've tried. With spawn-fcgi, I've found I have to either program-in process management features into the fastcgi app, or use cron, spawn-fgci and/or a process manager to deal with stopping and starting the processes. I've also tried out another approach which uses nginx's failover capabilities to try connecting to the fastcgi socket (either unix or tcp). It if fails, it connects to thttpd or mathopd to spawn a cgi process which kickstarts the fastcgi process again. Its "hacky" and AFAIK only works with fastcgi apps that are cgi compatible, but in the end it was actually fairly reliable. My next experiment will be with the cgi-fcgi bridge, which I just learned can spawn fastcgi processes like spawn-fcgi, though as I'm writing this I'm not sure if it can set them up to listen on unix sockets. In closing, I'll add that I'm greatly appreciative of both Apache and mod_fcgid and was thrilled when I learned that mod_fcgid was getting merged into the Apache code base. Hope that helps! - Albert -- http://www.docunext.com/

November 22, 2006
by Canadian Architect
Organizers of the Architecture Plus Awards have announced that the second cycle of the popular international event will be held in Dubai, and have thrown open the competition to professionals and organizations in 13 categories. Intended to reward architects, landscapers, designers, planners, conservationists and students for their thematic contributions to "Design for a New World", the Awards are expected to receive entries from at least 30 countries around the globe. Rashid Taqui, publisher of Architecture Plus magazine and founder of the Architecture Plus Award, confirmed that the Second Cycle of the biennial award would be held in Dubai in June 2007, as the culmination of a seven-month activity conducted across the world.
"As befitting the nature of an international competition, the Architecture Plus Awards will run through several systematic phases of assessment and judging, before 13 individuals or organizations are chosen as the best in their respective categories, apart from two special commendations. All 15 individuals will be honoured at the end of the cycle at an event held in Dubai," he stated.
Taqui said that in addition to existing categories, the Awards would feature contemporary ones that reflect the contribution of students and women to "Design for a New World." Noteworthy additions this year are Architecture for and by Women, Architecture for Children, and Architecture for Community. The other categories are Offices – Retail and Commercial, Hotels and Resorts, Housing and Residential Developments, Public – Arts and Culture, Preservation and Conservation, Urban Design, Landscape Architecture and Architectural Lighting. Three special commendations include Aspiring Architect (for students), the Professional's Choice Award, and the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Taqui also commented on the overwhelming response to the Awards, since its first edition was held in Dubai in 2004. "When we first sought global participation, we did not expect the phenomenal response it has continued to evoke. The Awards were originally designed as an extension of our magazine and were meant to encourage architects, designers and students in finding solutions appropriate to the problems of our region. Overnight, it has turned into a platform that allows exceptional performance among them to be rewarded and recognized," he stated.
He also explained the phases of the cycle receipt of entries from around the world and the evaluation and submission to the jury for their consideration. "The jury comprises internationally acclaimed and recognized professionals from prestigious architectural associations and practices who will individually and collectively judge the entries. Early next year, a panel of these jurists will convene in Dubai to choose the final winners of the Architecture+ Awards.
"The submissions will be evaluated for response to context, meeting client or context requirements, environmental performance and ecological balance, universal appeal, advancement and sustainability, and for attempting to conserve history. The projects must emphasize accomplishments in the "New World", a creative reference to emerging countries," he stated.
The Architecture Plus Awards are the initiative of Dubai's premier and the region's leading architecture and design magazine, Architecture Plus. With subscribers in 27 countries, the magazine has a wide international reach which supports its mission to validate architecture across the New World (the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and the Indian Subcontinent) as well as at international schools of architecture and design.
In its Second Cycle, the Awards are expected to draw prestigious entries from across the world. Previous Award winners included Laurie Baker, Bernard Khoury, Edge Design Institute of China, HOK Gulf, Saudi Diyar Consultants, Denton Corker Marshall Jakarta, and Forum Architects of Singapore, among others. The Awards are a biennial event currently held in Dubai, with various international venues being considered for forthcoming years.
Complete details of the Architecture Plus Awards II: Design for a New World are available online at the Architecture Plus website at www.arcplusonline.com/Awards.php.

Okay... first off, I hate the description "cute" when applied to BOgear kit. BOgear is supposed to be tough and long lasting with a heavy splash of environmental focus mixed in. It is not supposed to be cute.
But sometimes a product idea comes along, which could be described as cute. And in this instance, I think I am prepared to agree... it is cute!
Isn't it cute? Aww... *insert gushy "isn't that cute" noises here* A small (miniature really!) hip pouch. It will carry wallet, keys and your phone. Not much else. It measures 50mm deep x 120mm wide x 90mm tall. It is crafted from a single layer of 1000D nylon scrap and can be run as a hip belt, or as a simple shoulder sling.
These particular pouches are headed to our good friends at FixieGC. Interested in one of your own? I might be convinced to make some more... so drop us an email!

Based on the number of poles, the breakers are classified as – SP –Single Pole, SPN – Single Pole and Neutral DP – Double pole, TP – Triple Pole, TPN – Triple Pole and Neutral, 4P – Four Pole.
Based on the number of poles, the breakers are classified as-
- SP – Single Pole
- SPN – Single Pole and Neutral
- DP – Double pole
- TP – Triple Pole
- TPN – Triple Pole and Neutral
- 4P – Four Pole
SP (Single Pole) MCB: In Single Pole MCCB, switching & protection is affected in only one phase.
Application: Single Phase Supply to break the Phase only.
DP (Double Pole) MCB: In Two Pole MCCB, switching & protection is affected in phases and the neutral.
Application: Single Phase Supply to break the Phase and Neutral.
TP (Triple Pole) MCB: In Three Pole MCB, switching & protection is affected in only three phases and the neutral is not part of the MCB.
3 pole MCCB signifies for the connection of three wires for three phase system (R-Y-B Phase).
Application: Three Phase Supply only (Without Neutral).
TPN (3P+N) MCB: In TPN MCB, Neutral is part of the MCB as a separate pole but without any protective given in the neutral pole (i.e.) neutral is only switched but has no protective element incorporated. TPN for Y (or star) the connection between ground and neutral is in many countries not allowed. Therefore the N is also switches.
Application: Three Phase Supply with Neutral.
4 Pole MCB: 4pole MCCB for 4 wires connections, the one additional 4th pole for neutral wire connection so that between neutral and any of the other three will supply.
In 4-Pole MCCBs the neutral pole is also having protective release as in the phase poles.
Application: Three Phase Supply with Neutral.
Difference between TPN and 4P (or SPN and DP)
TPN means a 4 Pole device with 4th Pole as Neutral. In TPN opening & closing will open & close the Neutral. For TPN, protection applies to the current flows through only 3 poles (Three Phase) only; there is no protection for the current flow through the neutral pole. Neutral is just an isolating pole. TP MCB is used in 3phase 4wire system. It is denoted as TP+N which will mean a three pole device with external neutral link which can be isolated if required. For the 4 pole breakers, protection applies to current flow through all poles. However when breaker trips or manually opened, all poles are disconnected. Same type of difference also applies for SPN and DP.
Where to Use TP, TPN and 4P in Distribution panel
For any Distribution board, the protection system (MCB) must be used in the incomer. For a three phase distribution panel either TP or TPN or 4P can be used as the incoming protection.
TP MCB: It is most commonly used type in all ordinary three phase supply.
TPN MCB: It is generally used where there are dual sources of incomer to the panel (utility source and emergency generator source).
4P MCB: It is used where is the possibility of high neutral current (due to unbalance loads and /or 3rd and multiple of 3rd harmonics current etc) and Neutral / Earth Protection is provided on Neutral.
Where to use 4 Pole or TPN MCB instead of 3 Pole (TP) MCB
Multiple Incoming Power System:
When we have a transformer or a stand-by generator feeding to a bus, it is mandatory that at least either of the Incomers or the bus coupler must be TPN or 4-Pole Breaker please refers IS 3043.
In multi incomer power feeding systems, we cannot mix up the neutrals of incoming powers to other Power Source so we can use TPN or 4P breakers or MCB instead of TP MCB to isolate the Neutral of other power sources from the Neutral of incomer power in use. We can use 4 Pole ACB instead of TP for safety reasons. If there is power failure and DG sets are in running condition to feed the loads, if there is some unbalance in loads (which is practically unavoidable in L.V. distribution system), depending of quantum of unbalance, there will be flow of current through Neutral. During this time, if Power Supply Utility Technicians are working, and if they touch the neutral conductors (which is earthed at their point) they will likely to get electric shock depending on the potential rise in common neutral due flow of current through Neutral conductor as stated above. Even fatal accident may occur due the above reason. As such, it is a mandatory practice to isolate the two Neutrals.
We can use 4-pole breakers or TPN Breakers when the system has two alternative sources and, in the event of power failure from the mains, change-over to the standby generator is done. In such a case, it is a good practice to isolate the neutral also.
4 pole circuit breakers have advantages in the case when one of the poles of the device will get damage, and it also provides isolation from neutral voltage.
Normally, Neutral is not allowed to break in any conditions, (except special applications) for human & equipment safety. So for single incomer power fed systems, 3P breaker is used, where only phases are isolated during breaking operations.
Where We have dual Power like in DG & other electricity supply sources, it is required to isolate neutral, where neutral needs to be isolated in internal network TPN MCB or 4P MCB can be used.
Where to use 4 Pole MCB instead of TPN MCB
Any Protection Relay used on Neutral (Ground Fault Protection of Double ended System):
The use of four poles or three poles CB will depend on system protection and system configuration.
Normally in 3 phase with neutral we just use 3 pole CB and Neutral is connected on common Neutral Link but if application of 3 pole will affect the operation of protective relay then we must use 4 pole CB.
System evaluation has to be required to decide whether three-pole circuit breakers plus neutral link can be used or four-pole breakers are required. If unrestricted ground fault protection is fitted to the transformer neutral, then the bus section circuit breaker should have 4-poles and preferably incomer circuit breakers should also have 4-poles because un cleared ground fault located at the load side of a feeder have two return paths. As shown in fig a ground fault on a feeder at the bus section "A" will have a current return path in both the incomers, thus tripping both Bus. The sensitivity of the unrestricted ground fault relay is reduced due to the split current paths.
For System Stability
In an unbalanced 3 phase system or a system with non-linear loads, the neutral gives the safety to the unbalanced loads in the system and therefore It must not be neglected. In perfectly balanced conditions the neutral functions as a safety conductor in the unforeseen short-circuit and fault conditions. Therefore by using 4-pole MCB will enhance the system stability.
4 Poles will be decided after knowing the Earthing Systems (TT, TN-S, TN-C, IT).
- IT (with distributed neutral) System: The Neutral should be switched on & off with phases. Required MCB: TPN or 4P MCB.
- IT (without distributed neutral) System: There is no neutral. Required MCB: TP MCB.
- TN-S System: Required MCB: TP MCB because even when neutral is cut off system remains connected with Ground.
- TN-C System: Required MCB: TPN or 4P only, because we cannot afford to cut neutral doing so will result in system loosing contact with Ground.
- TN-C-S System: Neutral and Ground cable are separate. Required MCB: TP MCB Because Neutral and Ground cable are separate.
- TT System: Ground is provided locally. Required MCB: TP MCB because ground is provided locally.
Its compulsory to use TPN in TN-C system rest everywhere you can use MCB.

Family pays tribute to man killed in North Lopham crash
The family of a man killed in a fatal collision in North Lopham have paid tribute to him.
It follows a collision around 6.40pm on Tuesday 30 January 2018 involving a VW Polo and a Landrover Freelander on Church Lane.
The driver of the Polo, 23-year-old Jamie Kelly, sadly died at the scene.
His family said: "Jamie was born in East Harling and went to the Primary School along with his elder brother Angus. He attended Old Buckenham High School and then studied at Wymondham High before completing a BSc (Hons) in Geography at Hull University.
"Six months ago he started working for Midwich in Diss. He was returning home that evening after a business meeting after he'd been recently promoted to a new position in the company.
"He would have turned 24 on the February 10.
"He was much loved and cherished by his parents Rod and Sheila along with his big brother, Angus."

I can really see you wearing a shirt that says, "I'm sorry, my fault, I forgot you were an idiot." You have such a great sense of humor and I think it keeps you looking so young! By the way, Mr. Teter told me about your Obama-esque bumper stickers and I think they're HILARIOUS.
Mahalo, ds, for reading my piece. That's true. In addition to a sense of humor, being with younger and younger thinking people helps as well : ) Remember, we are only approaching -- always only approaching -- middle-age : ) Happy Wednesday!
I enjoyed reading this Lanning. And since I'm in the same boat as you, I understand completely as these feelings you wrote about. My driver license pic looks like my maternal Grandmother; whose name is also Mary. And very much loved by me so I shouldn't be too sad; except that I don't want to look like a Grandmother yet, even though I'm a Great Grandmother! In a few weeks I'll be 62 and on early retirement, but I still go to rock concerts and blend in with the crowd of younger people who make me feel young again. I think I'll keep on going no matter how time marches on. And I do admit, I look in the rear view mirror sometimes and think, "Who is that middle-aged woman?" I look pretty good for my age, but one day in the not too distant future, I will be an elderly lady. Graceful and elegant I hope. I will try to be.

In May of 2001, local businessman and community volunteer, Al Pringle, crashed the plane he was flying into a soybean field, near Brush Valley Road, on this side of Tussey Mountain.
Needless to say, the crash was unintentional.
Pringle and his co-pilot were returning from Hagerstown, Md., where they had earlier that morning dropped off a second plane for repairs. With clear skies and visibility for miles, they were approximately 10 miles from the University Park Airport when they heard what Pringle describes as a "loud mechanical crashing noise." Within a very short time, he realized he had total engine failure and that they were going down.
I met with Al last week for coffee and he described the harrowing seconds and minutes after realizing they had no engine. The initial panic followed by the systematic review of the cockpit indicators. The mental review of lessons learned in flight training. The search for a place to land and readying the plane for a crash. The plane hitting the soy bean field and then a dirt road that intersected the field. The hard landing. Running from the landing site in fear of explosion. Eventually waiting on the wing for emergency personnel (and the soy bean farmer) to arrive.
A reminder of how our lives can change in seconds.
Pringle has taken the lessons learned from his crash and applied them to business. He has turned those lessons into a management strategy and a newly published book entitled "May Day! May Day! May Day!"
The book talks about Pringle's upbringing in Bradford, Pa., his passion for aviation, his career in a variety of business settings, and how the skills in the systematic review of cockpit indicators can transfer to a business setting.
In the weeks and months after the crash, Pringle said his confidence in the cockpit took a hit. It changed how he flew. He developed a laser focus and was distracted by any rattle or hum of the plane. He stopped chatting with other people in the plane so he could concentrate. He renewed his focus on the primary flight instruments – the attitude indicator, the altimeter, the directional gyro and the airspeed indicator. Check and recheck. By going back to his pilot training and practicing the recommended step-by-step, systematic review of the indicators that he had learned, not only had he been able to save himself and his co-pilot, Al was able to regain his confidence and trust in his skills and in himself.
Over time, Pringle came to realize that cockpit management skills could be applied to "the business of management."
With an undergraduate degree from Bucknell, an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh,and more than 25 years of experience in business, Pringle developed what he calls the four pillars, following the instruments that pilots rely on in the cockpit. As President of Keystone Real Estate Group, LLC in State College, he worked with other members of the executive team to enhance their management strategies through the application of policy and practice based on the four pillars. Like those instruments in the cockpit, they would implement management monitors to help them meet team goals.
The plane attitude indicator would symbolize the corporate culture. The altitude indicator would be the people. The directional gyroscope would be the strategy for implementation. The airspeed indicator would parallel the execution plan.
Just as Pringle checked and rechecked those indicators in both the successful flights and the not-so-successful flight that landed him in a soybean field, he would work with his colleagues to check and recheck the pillars that would help the company soar.
Success in the air could translate into success on the ground.
The book serves as a manual for management. A lesson reinforced in the final minutes before a plane crash for which he and his co-pilot were able to walk away. Pringle wrote the book with hopes of helping others to manage not only their business but also their business culture and the people within that culture.
The writing style mirrors Al's conversational style – intense, knowledgeable and peppered with humor. The stories of growing up in Bradford in the decades after the manufacturing boom, when the city's population dropped from 20,000 to about 9,000, are reminiscent of growing up in a small town and of days that were somehow slower and more simple. The book is an easy read and even offers some concrete management tips (i.e. how to manage one's calendar). Pringle has taken his May Day theory on the road and serves as a consultant and speaker to many businesses and organizations.
I am fascinated by the stories behind the people with whom we live and work – the people who live in our community. The wisdom that we gain along our life's journey can come from the most unusual places. For Al Pringle, it was in the skies over Happy Valley and from a landing in a soybean field. Pick up "May Day! May Day! May Day!" It's a good read.
The book is available at www.pringlebooks-mayday.com.

Monday, October 9 -Your project day 1, your surroundings
This project was mainly about shape, silhouette, and structure. We were first asked to explore the King's Cross campus and record, through large scale drawings, a minimum of ten architectural drawings of shapes and structures of buildings we found particularly interesting or that we did not like. Afterwards, we had to identify one single shape in each of our ten drawings and redraw, on a different page, six of those identified shapes; though, they had to be redrawn with a different approach using different colors, materials, or scales. After this step, we had to select one new shape, which was created by the six shapes, and draw it with different scales on sketchbooks put together. Those sketchbooks belonged to other students with who we were put in the same group. We then ended up with many shapes on out sketchbook that did not make much sense and had to select three shapes from those, draw them on a separate brown paper in order to cut them, and make a 3D structure. When the structure was made, we were asked to draw it using different tools, approaches, and different ways and techniques of drawing lines. When we came back for lunch, we took those same three shapes with which we had made the 3D structure and draw them on a very large scale, cut them, and find a way to join them all together on a model; though, the purpose was not to make garments out of those three shapes, but to have structures coming out of the body. Finally, we had to draw our model with the structures on her/him again in different ways using a range of tools, lines, techniques, etc.
What I had found particularly difficult, was managing my time. I struggled with time with all other projects, but more this one in particular. This project was in the fashion and textile curriculum and this project involved creating shapes and structures from architectural shapes and structures. Because it is something I enjoy doing in my free time and because I have a strong interest in fashion and textiles, I wanted to come up with something extravagant and beautiful. I basically set myself higher expectations than what was asked, and this is one of the reasons why I took too much time recording buildings through drawing. I wanted my drawings to be perfect and beautiful and went for complex buildings and I could not achieve that in a such a short amount of time. Its also because of my personality as an artist. I produce amazing things when I take my time and do not rush things, when I think twice before doing anything, and mostly, when I am in a quit environment, sat, and comfortable in order to maximize my concentration. This project was totally the opposite which was very disturbing to me. When I work too quickly and rush everything out, my ideas become blury in my head. During thus project, they were and I felt extremely demoralized. Also, I wish we were introduced to some terms and line drawing techniques in advance in order to avoid confusion during the project development.

You still need to maintain track of it, particularly when it is young, because replanting may be difficult. It's plant that doesn't need a whole lot, but what it will need can sometimes become a tedious routine. Basil grows steadily only so long as the ground can retain adequate water and drain excesses aside. This plant really does not need a good deal of fertilization, even though you must still water it one each day with hot water. The best kind of pot for growing basil is just a strawberry pot. This could make it simple to keep each variety in its area. All you need to do is just fill the pot with dirt up to the initial opening, where you'll plant some seeds and then add water. You must be made to fill dirt up to the next opening, and continue the procedure to the top. If you are putting the basil for cooking, then put sweet basil on top of the pot. Growing basil indoors is much like growing it out in a garden, except that you want to utilize a container. Any pot will do only so long as you make several holes in the bottom. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1158 aligncenter" src="http://www.nutralake.com/wp-content/uploads/03_-300x225.jpg" alt="indoor_plants" width="300" height="225" /> It is crucial that excessive water drains out suitably so the roots do not rot. It is because basil grows best in damp soil, so make certain the pot is never full of too much water. Ensure you do not cut away leaves which are a pair. The kind of fertilizer you use depends upon the reason for which you are growing the basil. If you're growing basil for food flavor, then you must only use a natural fertilizer. For any other cause, a general fertilizer may be used just so long as it helps the plant preserve PH levels. Healthy a pH are important when growing the basil in your home, so you want to check once per month to guarantee the plants have PH levels between 6.5 and 7.5. As with all interior plants, light is very important when growing basil in your home. This plant typically takes six hours or more of sun per day, so you need to put it near a sunny window. If this isn't a choice, then you have to put it under fluorescent lights for in least ten hours a day.Read More

Sandburg advanced to face Brother Rice at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the sectional championship match with a trip to the state quarterfinals on the line. Sandburg and the Crusaders split two matches during the regular season.
It was another balanced effort for Brother Rice in the nightcap, punching its ticket to the sectional finals with a 25-17, 25-14 victory over St. Rita.
Lewis recruit Joe Kenzinger landed seven kills for Brother Rice (29-9), while Ryan Banky and Kyle Springer each had six kills.
"St. Rita beat us last time," said Kenzinger, the Lawless Player of the Year in the Catholic League. "It was at home on our senior night. We kind of just wanted to whoop on them."

Here's one for all you noobs out there... If you don't know how to something don't be afraid to ask. There is one thing you have to remember we were all noobs at one time or another. It's okay to ask someone because even though you may embarrassed to ask someone but someone is always willing to help you out and teach you how to play more effectively.
Let me ask you this. Would you rather not ask someone how to do something and be embarrassed or be on the field of battle and wandering around not knowing what do when you're given specific instructions from people on your team? If you ask someone you quickly get resolution to your problem and you may save yourself a few deaths.
Another reason you want to ask someone a question like, where an item is, is an important question to ask. Don't let your pride stop you from being a successful player. If someone is on your team of course they are to want to help you! So I ask for help when you need it. It will benefit you in your team in the long run.
Just keep in mind that just because you are a noob that doesn't mean you are entitled to help. There are a lot of experienced players out there that would like to teach someone how to play more effectively. So don't worry, just ask the questions you need the answers to, because ultimately it will make you a better player. Just remember to return the favor when you become experienced and be patient when you have an answer to a question that someone may need the answer to.

Don't tell others how to play their characters, that's just rude. Just because you wouldn't do something doesn't mean somebody else would. What is great about what makes us people is our individuality. Playing online is just an extension of who we are as people. One man's garbage is another man's gold, and just because you don't value something doesn't mean somebody else won't.
Be careful because everything is from your point of view. That is really what most people have to remember when they see someone doing something that they don't understand. We all have a way and style we like to play and that is great. But just because I play a certain way doesn't mean, my buddy sitting next to me play the same way. Just remember about perspectives. Everyone has one, and they are all different.
This task becomes more difficult as you become more of a veteran. When you see someone do something that you would do. You instantly try to stop them from doing so. But the thing is you have no idea what they are trying to do. Telling them how to do something is just poor etiquette. Asking questions is okay, but telling another player how to play the game is just wrong.
You may know how to play well for you! But that doesn't mean the way you play is not the best way to play for somebody else. If you begin imposing your will on others you are sure to be kicked out of most groups quickly. So don't do it let others play the game their way even if you think they are playing the game badly.

Alexandria Moreno—clever, sexy, ambitious and, at times, self-destructive. She blazes a path from Texas to Los Angeles at the dawn of the 1980s to make her dreams of becoming an A-list Hollywood film director come true. She and her best friend arrive in Los Angeles with little more than hope and the determination to make it big. Alex, a beauty as dark and mysterious as her scarred heart, stands at the bottom of the Hollywood mountain looking up, fighting for her chance to climb to the top. Will her quest to live fast and take no prisoners on her way to success destroy her in the end? All That Glitters is a women's fiction Jackie Collins-type saga that introduces a strong, driven Latina heroine at the center of a rags-to- riches story spanning a decade of action. Along the way, Alexandria walks the fine line separating ambition and self-destruction, and discovers that some sacrifices will cost her everything.
My Review
Life is a roller coaster ride, with bumps, highs and lows. Youth is once such ride where you discover the new world and the amazing places and people you meet along the way. The adrenalin rush to do the impossible, to be known and get rich is a world of its own.
One quote that sets the tune of the story is
"Elly, if your friend Alexendria has asked for your help, you should give it. She's not one who asks lightly."
All eyes at the table, including Elly's fixed on Mr. Carmichael.
Alex the protagonist of the story plans to move to LA to work in movies and convinces her friend Elly who wants to be a model to join her in her endeavour.
One more quote that I loved about the attitude of our protagonist when they arrive to LA and the owner of a hotel asks them as to how long the plan on staying there.
"Well" Alex replied simply, "I guess that depends on how ever long it takes for us to buy one of those beach houses down the road"
The best part of the story was that it has showcased how is the world of dreams is like. It won't be a roller coaster ride. You have to face the failures of life and cherish the small achievements that you get.
But to make it big into Hollywood, there has to be days where to make a living you have to work as a waitress as our protagonist does. And at the same moment you need to continuously grow your network to make it to the movies.
Will it so easy to just grow your contacts and make it big into the movies. There will be times where your body craves for love and you find it more pleasurable than the destination.
There will be drugs to reel your head and to loosen you a bit. People will be there to make you a super model and then there will be some to bring you down.
But these are just theories, but who knows what happens in a real life
The novel will take you deep into the Hollywood dream world and will make you come face to face with the sex, drugs, men, late night parties. How our protagonist makes it big in life along with her friend Elly.
The emotional aspect of the story is what I like a lot; the author has a different taste of her own to describe the emotions and it can be because she is a girl and knows how one feels had she been in the particular scenario. I was unable to differentiate between the real world and the one in the novel. It was as if I was living their life.
I don't want to be a spoiler and I can assure you, it is a book like no other, written on the life in Hollywood.
Incredible piece of work and it showcases Liza's master over her craft.
About the author
Liza Treviño hails from Texas, spending many of her formative years on the I-35 corridor of San Antonio, Austin and Dallas. In pursuit of adventure and a Ph.D., Liza moved to Los Angeles where she compiled a collection of short-term, low-level Hollywood jobs like script girl, producer assistant and production assistant. Her time as a Hollywood Jane-of- all-trades gave her an insider's view to a world most only see from the outside, providing the inspiration for creating a new breed of Latina heroine.

Media, expansion fuel leagues
The last 20 years has brought a litany of changes to the sports industry, perhaps no better reflected than in the growth of league business itself. Whether it was through bigger and better media rights deals, launching their own networks, forging new pathways into the digital space, expansion, or building out league-run events, the last two decades have seen league revenue figures grow significantly.
Reflecting on the last 20 years of growth, On Location CEO and former NFL and NHL executive John Collins highlighted the evolution of leagues going from "licensing/trade organizations to really dynamic operating units."
Said Collins, "When I look back at the growth, there's been a focus on finding ways to really complement the local businesses that the clubs have with a real complimentary driver at the national level."
The evolution of sports media has played a critical role in league growth, not only in terms of the ever-increasing revenue streams that the deals themselves have brought, but just how the sports themselves were being consumed by fans.
MLS Commissioner Don Garber was running NFL International in 1998 before being named to his current position the following year. He recalled trying to evaluate how new technology and the internet would transform the way leagues do business.
"All of us in the industry were thinking about how the web was developing — how it would impact our lives; how would it affect the way we interact with fans; or even back then, how it would transform the way we manage our various commercial assets," he said.
Garber said the "dramatic change in the media landscape, from how fans consume sports to how content is distributed," strengthened the league business to what it is today.
Over the last 20 years, leagues saw great success in building out their content and carving up new rights and opportunities. The NBA was the first league to launch its own network in 1999, and the NHL, NFL and MLB quickly followed. The establishment of MLB Advanced Media transformed the way leagues approached the digital landscape, and propelled the live streaming business in sports and beyond.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman reflected on the state of sports media in 1998 and how digital platforms have since given the league more ways to increase its fan base.
"The landscape of opportunities and what leagues could do then was light years behind where it is now," Bettman said. "It was really the infancy of digital platforms, and we were looking to establish for hockey a greater presence and to have a greater prominence on the national landscape, whether that was with our broadcast partners or expansion. The ability to reach out not only to our fans in new and better ways, but also gain more exposure with a casual sports fan, has never been greater."
On the expansion front, the past two decades saw the NHL establish successful franchises in Nashville, Columbus, Minnesota and Las Vegas. That expansion and soaring growth in media rights deals have helped the league increase its national revenue by more than five times since 1998, aiming to eclipse $5 billion this year.
Expansion has played an especially major role in MLS, which has seen the biggest transformation over the past 20 years. The league has gone from losing tens of millions of dollars annually and being forced to contract two teams, to now having expansion fees that top $150 million with a long list of suitors for a franchise. Existing team valuations top $500 million, giving the league a seat at the table alongside the other "big four" North American leagues.
The past two decades have also witnessed a major push into league-run events. The NHL's Winter Classic and subsequent annual Stadium Series outdoor games have raised the profile of regular-season games, galvanized local markets and attracted new sponsors. MLB has seen success with its World Baseball Classic tournament, as well as in recent years hosting games at compelling neutral sites, such as North Carolina's Fort Bragg in 2016 and the 2017 MLB Little League Classic in Williamsport, Pa. Leagues also have done well hosting games overseas, from the NFL's efforts in London and Mexico City, to the NBA's Global Games.
And, finally, while Bettman has held his post since 1993 and Garber since 1999, MLB, the NBA and NFL have all transitioned to new commissioners during the past 20 years, looking to build upon the accomplishments of their predecessors.
What's next?
Collins said he's interested to see how the league media rights model evolves, and if the next wave of deals proves to be the end of the current cycle of enormous growth.
Bettman said the demand for content — even beyond the games — has never been higher, keeping him and the league on the lookout for new ways to serve its fans.
Garber pointed to technology as not only being a driver to evolving how the leagues do business, but also evolving the player side of the business, resulting in better scouting and evaluation, and improving the health and safety of players.
While it's perhaps impossible to predict changes to come, Collins offered one thing that is here to stay: "Leagues are no longer just a once-a-week business; it's 24/7/365 and that's not changing."

Unfortunately's City's cook had fallen ill during the week so Richie's wife Caroline stepped into the breach to save the day, and we were provided with an excellent pre match lunch.
Having myself, several other guests, sponsors and players to feed on the day had provided the sight of club president and county representative Tony Howe sat in the club house bar peeling bags of potatoes, carrots and turnips late into Friday evening.
One of the other guests on the day was the former Durham City and West Hartlepool prop Eddie Bell who is now Lord Mayor of Durham.
The leaden skies and continuous rain meant that the flood lights had to be used from the start of the match. Despite the terrible playing conditions both sides attempted to play some open running rugby.
Morpeth were the first to score when the ball was worked wide for the right wing to score a try in the corner. The difficult conversion kick falling just short. Durham responded with a try of their own from a driving maul, with the ball being touched down close to the posts for a simple conversion.
Morpeth kicked a penalty to re gain the lead.
Halftime 7 – 5
Due to some very good defence from both sides and handling errors becoming more frequent as the condition deteriorated there were no more tries to be scored in the second half. Morpeth added three more penalty kicks to make the final score 7 – 17.
Durham will feel a little disappointed not have salvaged a losing bonus point from this match as the score does not reflect the closeness of the match.
The officials for this match could not have had a much wider range of experience. The referee Alex Mackinder, who had a very good match, was refereeing at level six for the first time, while running touch for Durham City was former international referee John Pearson.
