Among these men would be such st.irs as Joe DiMaggio and Rob Filler. However Harridge admits that such veterans as Luke 'Appling of the Chicago White Sox, Cecil, Travis with Washington, Hnnk Grecn- b<-rg of Detroit, and Bill Dickey of the Now York'Yankecs. might not get back into active playing jobs.

But like all the others, John L. ran into trouble—-so much trouble that the former champ itched to get into the ring and show Sandy how La do things. Ferguson went ..o California to fight Jack Johnson—and Johnson handled the big ooy like a lightweight. There was one thing Sandy Ferguson insisted on having set whenever he fought. Between rounds Sandy wanted his jolt of grog. Sandy wouldn't call it an honest rest until his seconds gave him a stii'f pifll at the botlle. The sorrel- top claimed it was just the thing to warm a nion up—just the thin;: to send him out all full of new fight and energy.

High-dose Ara-C (HIDAC) induces the cleavage and activity of caspase-3 (CPP32β/Yama/apopain), resulting in the morphological and biochemical features of apoptosis. High levels of the antiapoptotic Bcl-xL or Bcl-2, relative to the proapoptotic Bax, have been shown to inhibit HIDAC-induced cleavage and activity of caspase-3 and apoptosis of the human acute myeloid leukemia HL-60 cells. In a previous report, we demonstrated this inhibition, using the control HL-60 (HL-60/neo) cells and their counterparts, HL-60/Bcl-xL, which have enforced overexpression of Bcl-xL and a significantly lower ratio of free to bound Bax. Results of the present studies demonstrate that, in the initiation phase of apoptosis of HL-60/neo cells due to HIDAC (10 or 100 µm for 4 h), cytochrome c is released from the mitochondria to the cytosol, followed by the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) and an increase in the reactive oxygen species; these events precede and trigger the cleavage and activity of caspase-3. These HIDAC-induced early mitochondrial and cytosolic perturbations, which represent the initiation phase of HIDAC-induced apoptosis, were inhibited in HL-60/Bcl-xL cells. HIDAC treatment for 4 h also modestly increased the intracellular levels of free Bax relative to Bax bound to Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL in HL-60/neo but not in HL-60/Bcl-xL cells. In HL-60/neo cells, HIDAC-induced progressive accumulation of cytochrome c in the cytosol, the decrease in ΔΨm, and the increase in reactive oxygen species were not inhibited by coculture with the tetrapeptide inhibitors of caspases that have been previously shown to inhibit Ara-C-induced cleavage and activity of caspase-3 and apoptosis. These findings indicate that Bcl-xL inhibits HIDAC-induced preapoptotic mitochondrial perturbations, which prevent the accumulation of cytochrome c in the cytosol, thereby preserving caspase-3 in the inactive zymogen state and checking the molecular cascade of apoptosis.

In the digital era in which we are currently moving, it is very easy to find any number of services that can be done online and without complications. Reduce time and improve the forms of customer service have become a priority, especially for those who offer financial services such as Kierader Sanders Loan.
Grants online payday loans.
However, it is essential that we do not lose sight of the fact that there are many things to which we must pay special attention, so as not to have to go through bad times or inconveniences that lead to serious problems. For this reason, we want to give you some tips for when you browse the internet looking for this type of services and to use our 100% secure platform.
On many occasions people have doubts about making an application for online payday loans, because they fear that their information may be leaked to other pages or that it may fall into the hands of unscrupulous people. Unfortunately, there have been many cases of users who have been through this and who have also been scammed by unreliable companies and fear that when they try again, this will happen again.
Therefore it is necessary that as a user who surfs the Internet take our first advice: Look for a genuine and well designed platform. When you browse the web and find a website that seems to have been designed eagerly or in a pre-established template, it begins to distrust.
Those of us who offer financial services put great effort
We hire a professional design, make adjustments to make navigation simple, but above all we pay more attention to the issue of computer security on the web. We shield ourselves by all the fields to avoid that hackers and people who have a very wide domain of the systems, can invade our platform and steal information, as well as we have ways to detect those who also want to take away our data as a company.
So if the design of the site does not seem to have deserved an effort, it would be a good idea to turn the page and continue looking for another place where you can find completely secure online payday loans, such as Kierader Sanders Loan. In this way, avoid scams and theft of your financial information, your user data and other things that may be important to you.
On the other hand, it is significant that if you found a website that seems to have everything we mentioned above, you begin to inquire about its trajectory in the market and the clients that it has had. Generally, companies that have a high number of users are usually the most recommended by them, so finding this information will be very useful.
It is important that you know that not all companies that have been in the market for many years are the best, nor are those that are just starting out the worst. Actually this is a very subjective issue, but when we talk about trajectory more than the years we refer to the amount of services they have provided from the moment they started operations, for which the previous data will be very useful.
There are many online credit companies
That can have been running for just one year but have provided many more services than one that has been operating for 10 years, which is a fundamental fact, because if they find a company that has granted only 300 credits for a decade, it is Because something is wrong. If you have doubts it is best not to provide any of your data.
It is also very important that you review what kind of options or possibilities the company offers for the payment and disbursement of your credit. Remember to be very attentive to what banking or financial information they ask for. They usually require your account number, to which you want the money you requested to enter, so you cannot lose sight of what mechanisms or tools are making this request to you.

Look for pages where you see great dedication and design effort, they are companies that really work correctly.

An archetypic water dog of France, the Barbet is a rustic breed of medium size and balanced proportions who appears in works as early as the 16th century. In profile, the Barbet is slightly rectangular with a substantial head and long, sweeping tail. He has a long, dense covering of curly hair and a distinctive beard. An agile athlete, the Barbet has been used primarily to locate, flush, and retrieve birds. He has a cheerful disposition and is very social and loyal.
- Height: 19-24.5 inches
- Weight: 35-65 pounds
- Life Expectancy: 12-14 years
- Group: Miscellaneous Class
About the Barbet
The defining characteristic of this rustic, medium-sized bird dog is the dense curly coat that covers him from the top of his large, broad head to the tip of his curving tail. The coat comes in shades of black, gray, brown, or fawn, sometimes with white markings. The breed's delightfully shaggy coat and amiable nature creates the impression of a Muppet come to life, but the Barbet is a strong, solidly-built dog bred for centuries to be a keen hunter and tireless swimmer. Barbets are very intelligent and learn new things quickly. They have a calm nature and are easy to live with as long as their exercise needs are being met.
The Barbet is more than a versatile gun dog. It is a joyful, smart, loving, and devoted breed. The Barbet was originally a water dog and was primarily used in France for hunting water game, as mentioned in 16th century scripts. Other references to the breed are throughout history, doing various jobs with historical lineage, always referenced with respect and admiration.
After the World Wars, the Barbet was nearly extinct, but through the efforts of a very devoted few, this old breed is slowly being reborn as a dog for the future. These loving canines, although rare and in small numbers, continue to delight and amaze people around the world. Keen intellect, propensity for water and versatile abilities make it an "all round" dog. With such an extensive historical lineage, the Barbet is a timeless and classic breed of canine.
The Barbet should do well on a high-quality dog food, whether commercially manufactured or home-prepared with your veterinarian's supervision and approval. Any diet should be appropriate to the dog's age (puppy, adult, or senior). Typically not voracious eaters, Barbets can benefit from oil supplementation during drier months. Treats can be an important aid in training, but giving too many can cause obesity. Learn about which human foods are safe for dogs, and which are not. Check with your vet if you have any concerns about your dog's weight or diet. Clean, fresh water should be available at all times.
Grooming can be a wonderful bonding experience for you and your dog. The proper grooming of a Barbet starts with a full brush-out, a comb through to the skin, and a good bath. An after-bath blow drying will straighten the hair and make a fluff ball ready for a scissor trim. An all-over trim to approximately 3 to 5 inches in length to show the shape of the body is preferred, while the head, ears and tail remain longer. For the purpose of showing, the hair on the head must reach the muzzle. After the trim, the Barbet must be wet down and left to air-dry to regain his natural curls.
A Barbet's strong, fast-growing nails should be trimmed regularly with a nail clipper or grinder to avoid overgrowth, splitting and cracking. Ears should be checked regularly to avoid a buildup of wax and debris, which can result in infection. Teeth should be brushed regularly.
Bred as a marsh/swamp game retriever, the Barbet is an agile athlete and loyal partner in any activity, especially if it involves water. He actually has webbed paws specifically for swimming. Besides swimming, other options for exercise include play time in the backyard, preferably fenced, or taken for walks several times a day. Exercise can also come in the form of indoor activities, like hide-and-seek, chasing a ball rolled along the floor, or teaching them new tricks. The Barbet enjoys plenty of playtime with dogs anad people, but is then content to lounge nearby indoors. He is happiest when well socialized and prefers not to spend too many hours alone.
Positive interactions and and upbeat training environment are needed for a Barbet, as the breed has a sensitive, but even, temperament. Training should be a relatively easy task, as Barbets are friendly, responsive, and agreeable. Agility, rally, dock diving, and lure coursing are all dog sports that Barbets have participated in, and make for great exercise and mental stimulation.
The Barbet is solidly built with adequate bone to perform his tasks as a true sporting dog, and as such is sturdy, with a moderately sized and constructed frame.
Given the small genetic pool from which the Barbet draws, it is a surprisingly healthy breed thanks to wise, cautious selection by breeders. Responsible breeders screen for health conditions such as as hip and elbo dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), seizure disorders and allergies.

Happy New Year
I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and a safe New Year. We are sweltering away in the summer heat down here in Australia. For some reason every time the mercury hits 40dC (104F) our beautiful country turns into one big scary bonfire, and this year is no different, but I still wouldn't live anywhere else.
So here is where I'm at with my writing. Guardian is doing great, I have listed it with kdp exclusive and had 3 free days in the beginning of December, I gave away over 7500 copies and that in turn has drastically increased the sales of Forever which is all good. overall the Amazon giveaway increased my sales by about 600%. It also reached a top of #22 in the Amazon best sellers list and spent all three days in the top 10 for Fantasy and #1 in contemorary Fantasy so I am deeming it a success. I am hoping to release Revenge next month and subject to the editing time frame we are still on schedule for that. I've made a start on A Witch's Tale, which is the working title for Bernard's story and hopefully I'll be able to release it mid year.
I've also been working on some reviews which I'll start posting for you have a sqiz at. there have been some amazing books I've read and I'm dying to share with you all. So stay tuned for some fabulous book recomendations.

GIANFRANCO FINI has been appointed as the new Italian foreign minister. Fini leads the "post-fascist" Alleanza Nazionale—the reincarnation of the old fascist party the MSI.
The media have presented Fini as someone who has broken completely with the Alleanza Nazionale's fascist past.
Just how shallow this is was shown on 3 November when Fini was invited to a conference at Rome's biggest university, La Spaienza.
Just 20 people, none of them students, attended the conference Fini was due to address. But left wing student organisations led demonstrations around the university campus with music and slogans.
There were lots of banners opposing war, against the racist "Bossi-Fini" immigration laws and against Fini's repressive anti-drugs policies.
In our faculties the spirit of anti-fascist struggle is still strong—plaques are dedicated to anti-fascist students killed during the 1970s.
A gang of men appeared to protect the meeting.
They blocked the entrance to the faculty of law, singing fascist songs from the days of the Mussolini dictatorship, and they taunted us by giving fascist salutes.
That day made it very clear that the smart suits of Fini and the "post-fascist" Alleanza Nazionale are just a shallow veneer.

A Skin Rash(ETN) on Your Baby's Body? ETN is Harmless and Here's Why.
The appearance of a common skin rash on the body of a new born child.
Erythema Toxicum Neonatorum usually occurs within 3–14 days of birth, although it may appear within a few hours after birth.
- Physical exam by a doctor is enough for confirmation.
- Affects only new born babies.
- Doesn't cause any discomfort to the child.
- Known as newborn rash, this skin defect only manifests in babies and persists for a short amount of time. About 30–70% of new born babies are affected by it and it isn't a cause for alarm.
- The cause for this rash is currently unknown. Other harmless skin conditions similar to this one are Milia and baby acne.
Ages Affected – only newborn infants are affected by this skin condition.This rash can affect babies from when their born to about 2 weeks of age.
Partially Self-diagnosable
Symptoms include the appearance of a red rash with tiny yellow or white bumps or papules. A gynecologist, child specialist or even the doctor who delivers the baby can immediately spot the rash and provide a diagnosis.
Babies May Experience
Skin rash – a common skin rash is visible on the midsection of the new born baby's body.
Self care: Avoid over-washing the baby - babies have delicate skin that can dry out easily with harsh soap. It is recommended that pustules be left alone (do not pick or squeeze or try to burst them).
Medication: No medication is required to be given to the new born baby as Erythema Toxicum Neonatorum is a harmless skin condition that recedes on its own.
Specialists: If the condition worsens, consult a pediatrician.

5 Reasons To Avoid Plastic Containers
Here are 5 reasons why you should avoid plastic containers:
1. Toxic compounds in plastic can make you really sick.
It's typical to suffer from a variety of health problems as you age. But is this just "part of getting older"? Or is this perhaps the result of a toxic overload in the body? It's common knowledge that illness and disorders such as cancer, Alzheimer's, arthritis, heart disease, vision impairment and many others health problems are all on the rise. Could this be in some way associated with the increasing amount of plastic in our lives? Plastic food and beverage containers became popular fairly recently (in the 1970s) and have become ubiquitous in our lives since then. More and more research is proving that toxic compounds found in plastic cause health problems ranging from cancer to infertility.
2. There's no such thing as a safe plastic.
Plastics that contain the super toxic compound bisphenol A (BPA) have been in the news a lot lately. And for this reason, consumers have been duped into thinking that if a product is "BPA-free" it's perfectly safe. But this is a lie. Lots of companies have caught on to the fact that they can sell more of a product if it's labeled as "BPA-free." But guess what? It may be BPA-free, but in its place, these companies are using BPS, a close cousin of BPA that may be equally as toxic! The bottom line is – you can't 100% trust that any plastic doesn't contain compounds that are toxic to your body.
3. Plastics can cause fertility and reproductive problems.
The ability to produce a healthy child is a wondrous miracle and an amazing event in one's life. But toxic compounds found in plastic could be making this difficult, if not impossible, for millions of people. What was once speculation is now becoming fact as more and more research is proving that this is a very real problem. For example, almost all plastics contain toxic chemicals that have a negative effect on immunity and hormone regulation, both of which directly affect fertility. Specifically, BPA has been found to make it more difficult for women to conceive and to cause increased risk of miscarriages. New research is also showing that toxins found in plastic can cause birth defects and developmental problems in children.
4. Chemicals in plastic can make you fat.
There are lots of reasons why nearly two-thirds of American adults are either overweight or obese. But one of them may be the vast amounts of plastics our food and beverages come in contact with. After all, America is the world's largest consumer of disposable plastic containers. Interesting new research published in Environmental Health Perspectives explains that a chemical widely used in plastics, called bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE), may actually cause stem cells to become fat cells. According to one of the study's authors, "Exposure to these kinds of chemicals can reprogram your metabolism and make it more likely for you to store calories instead of passing them through." Have you found that losing weight is next to impossible, despite eating less and exercising more? Perhaps it's chemicals in plastics that make losing weight harder than it needs to be.
5. Plastics are just terrible for our planet.
Whether you are a hardcore environmentalist or if being "green" is low on your list of priorities, the fact of the matter is that you live on planet Earth, and so will your children and your children's children. We all have a responsibility to keep the planet has livable as possible. Firstly, plastics are in most cases made from petrochemicals through an energy intensive process that itself creates lots of pollution and toxic discharge. The fact is, every plastic container you use is making the planet less habitable. Also, most plastic in the world is not recycled and usually ends up in landfills, where it degrades very slowly. According to Wikipedia, "Since the 1950s, one billion tons of plastic have been discarded and may persist for hundreds or even thousands of years."
What Are Your Best Solutions?
Like I said earlier, plastics are a nearly unavoidable part of our everyday lives. But there is a big difference between the plastic on your computer and the plastic that may come into contact with your lunch. You don't eat your computer. The best solution, which is affordable, convenient and really safe is glass and certain types of metal. Here are some great solutions I've found. (I am providing links to Amazon.com for your convenience, but you can find these items at many stores.)
- Break-proof glass water bottles: This glass water bottle has a rubber coating that prevents breakage. It makes water taste amazing! I take mine everywhere I go and it helps me avoid using plastic water bottles.
- Stainless steel straws: My kids don't use plastic straws anymore, and instead use these stainless steel straws.
- Stainless steel containers: Dump your plastic Tupperware and instead go for stainless steel containers. Glass containers are great too, but most of them still have plastic lids.
- Glass water coolers: If you have a water cooler at your home or office, more and more companies are offering glass containers instead of plastic ones.
- Alternative to non-stick cookware: The coating on your non-stick cookware may be a type of plastic. Instead choose ceramic cookware or enameled cast iron.
Even if you remove all plastic from your food and water supply, there are still some sneaky ways that highly toxic BPA can find its way into your life. Here are the most common:
- Cash register receipts: This usually shocks most people. But if you handle a receipt with your hands, then eat your food with your hands, BPA is getting in your system. Avoid receipts or wash your hands immediately after touching one.
- The lining of most canned foods. Luckily, we've written a buyer's guide that will help you find the brands that don't use BPA.
- Some baby bottles and pacifiers
- Many toys and other children's products
- Some aluminum water bottles (stainless steel is generally safe)
- Canned soda and bee

Global leader in automation enhances its web presence with SDL's cloud-based Web Experience Management solution
Wakefield, MA and Maidenhead, UK – September 29, 2016 – SDL today announced that leading automation technology provider OMRON Automation Americas has expanded its use of SDL solutions, selecting SDL Web for Web Experience Management to build a scalable, future-proof web presence.
With significant growth in the Americas, OMRON needed an improved web presence to support current and future expansion. At the same time, the company's leadership was looking to adopt cloud-based solutions in their technology stack to become more agile and hand-off activities that were not core to OMRON's business. They turned to SDL and implementation partner Content Bloom to help make this possible. With SDL Web, OMRON is not only addressing its current web needs, but it is now equipped to master the operational complexity that the company anticipates with the addition of new brands, products and companies in the future.
Content Bloom is currently in the final stages of migrating seven websites onto OMRON's new SDL Web platform in the cloud. It also leverages SDL's Digital Experience Accelerator (DXA), fundamentally changing the way the website is built and deployed.
"The DXA framework allows the Content Bloom team to rapidly build web and mobile sites for SDL Web by providing a number of common implementation features out of the box. Another cool benefit of SDL's DXA is that the client can now take full control of their websites and even create new ones without any involvement from technical teams," said John Winter, Principal Solution Architect at Content Bloom.
Forrester predicts that the majority of CIOs will move 40-50 percent of their infrastructure to a cloud-based offering in the next three to five years and OMRON is invested in staying ahead of this curve. As an existing user of SDL Translation Services, adopting SDL Web in the cloud was an ideal way for the company to manage all of its web-related assets via one solution partner.
"We want to focus on growing our customer base and positioning OMRON as a leader in industrial automation – not worrying about the infrastructure of our sites," declared Karina Orozco, Digital Media Manager at OMRON Automation Americas. "Moving our sites to the cloud made perfect sense. Not only are we lowering the risk and cost of having to maintain these infrastructures ourselves, but we still get full access to everything SDL Web has to offer."
"As businesses move increasingly toward the cloud, we are committed to meeting our customers' needs for agile cloud-based solutions," said Adolfo Hernandez, CEO, SDL. "Successful organizations need a strong web platform to showcase their growth and we are thrilled to expand our partnership with OMRON by enabling them to deliver exceptional web experiences."

CIF Pilots Student Mental Health First-Aid Training
Construction Impact Framework (CIF) has been working with its partner Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) on the subject of student mental health. In order to support the university and its students who can be overwhelmed with the environment they find themselves in, we commissioned The Mind Map to pilot mental health first-aid training for students.
Below is feedback from Megan Hill, Student President at LJMU ,on how effective the course was and its wider impact…
What were you expecting to get out of the Mental Health First Aid course?
"I was expecting to be able to learn how to deal with like situations where you come to contact with people with mental illness and being able to sort of know what to say, what to do when there's no one else who can help".
What do you think are the problems that students are facing currently and how can they affect their mental health?
"A lot of students are coming to university from home for the first time, so the main thing is like homesickness, a new environment, and having to make new friends with people that they may not be comfortable with. It's definitely going out of their comfort zone. The work load as well, because university work is a lot different and depending on the degree it's a lot more demanding. There's also having to depend on yourself, sort of living on your own. And the age range of students: there's mature students as well, but social media gives people these expectations and you want to keep up with university through social media".
What did you learn from the course?
"A lot, actually. I think a few of the main things I've taken away are about the importance of listening, because otherwise I would have thought that it's important to sort of have a conversation with someone. It's less that and more about them being able to talk and not feel judged, and also knowing when you need to get other help, even if they're not comfortable about it. Mainly how to assess how serious the situation is".
Would you recommend the course? If so, who would it be for?
"Honestly, the easiest and simple answer would be everyone if possible. People who are in charge of large amounts of people, who come into contact with a lot of people who are in positions of power in societies. People who have that added responsibility so they can just be able to share their knowledge with other people".
(Megan Hill, Student President at LJMU reflects on her mental health first-aid training course).

Daisy Ridley Can't Let go of Star Wars
The actress will reunite with producer JJ Abrams on new film
It seems like Daisy Ridley will take any chance she gets to work with the Star Wars cast!
The Star Wars: The Force Awakens star has signed on for Kolma, which is based on Keren Margalit's 2003 Israeli movie All I've Got.
Who will she be working with on Kolma, you ask? None other than famed producer JJ Abrams! Abrams has produced not only Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but other super films and TV shows such as Lost and Armageddon.
Diary of a Teenage Girl filmmaker Marielle Heller is in negotiations to direct the project, which will centre on a young couple involved in a car accident, while Abrams will produce.
It is unclear when the movie will start filming or whether she'll shoot around her Star Wars: Episode VIII schedule. Earlier this week, British royals Prince William and Prince Harry visited the set of the new Star Wars film in Pinewood Studios near London and they were given a tour around the prop and costume departments by Daisy, who plays Rey in the franchise.
In footage from the workshops, William was captured holding a cast of Daisy's head, stroking a prop head and watching a puppet master in action.
A tweet from Kensington Palace reads: "William and Prince Harry are travelling to a galaxy far, far way... The Duke & Prince Harry's visit @PinewoodStudios recognises the wealth of British creative talent involved in producing the @starwars films."
Filming on the movie began in February, and the new Star Wars film is set for release in December, 2017. Daisy is also expected to star in director Colin Trevorrow's Star Wars: Episode IX.

I WOULD like to thank the staff at the Morrisons store at Leigh Sports Village for helping me look for my engagement ring, which I lost when I was in there with my husband recently.
When I was leaving the shop I realised my ring had fallen off and I was a bit panicked.
I asked a member of staff if they could look out for it and left my number with them while I went to retrace my footsteps in the aisles with my husband, as I remembered having it on when I was walking round the store.
I could not believe it when I saw the workers on their hands and knees searching on the floor and looking under the shelves.
They then pulled out the milk fridges and looked behind them – you could tell how much they cared about finding the ring.
Luckily my husband found the ring on a chair by the counter.
I have been married for 56 years, and although my original engagement ring was stolen the new one is of course very important to me.
The staff were wonderful and deserve some recognition for playing their part in finding it.

Anouk to represent the Netherlands with Birds at the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest
Anouk unveiled her song today for the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest. The song Birds was presented during a live press conference which was aired live on Sterren radio.
Today at 10:00 CET in Hilversum, a press conference was held to reveal the Dutch entry for the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö. Singer Anouk caused a huge stir when she announced she would be representing the Netherlands and her song Birds is one of this year's most awaited due to her previous career as a superstar both at home and abroad.
Anouk was chosen to represent the Netherlands with the song Birds at the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö. Anouk has been a regular figure on the Dutch music scene since her début pan-European hit Nobody's wife in 1997. Over the years, she has released 30 singles and seven albums, some of which have made Number One. Dutch TV's decision to select her internally was an interesting one, as she has a pedigree that could lift the country's fortunes out of the doldrums.
At a press conference today in Hilversum, Anouk finally revealed the song Birds to the world. While Anouk's styles down the years have varied, this song is a ballad with dark elements. It comes from her next album, Sad singalong songs, due for release on 17 May.

Question about Panasonic PV-GS500 Camcorder
HI, when I try to save my video to my pc, it saves it in 4 parts mpeg with no sound and the sound seperate from the video? When I try to access the audio part windows ( VISTA) does not reconize the file attachments???
What do you think????
Posted by rotovisco on
when copying my video to pc with my sdr- h4op- s there is no audio I read the suggestion by gremlin guy but im the type of person who needs the step by step instructions to try his solution help any other answers
I need help with mine too! I dont know how to download my videos & pictures from my camcorder to my laptop! Please help!
ACK! I have the same issues with the audio, I need serious help with this and FAST!
my video and sound are uploaded as separate files and there are useless to be used in programs other than video suite- can i stop this?
i have changed the fil to avi but still just sound no video
Use the SDCopy freeware utility to set the widescreen flag. It also
renames and downloads files for you, and it's small. There's a link
from this tutorial page, which also explains a lot about aspect ratios
and such:
Posted on Feb 08, 2009
I found out that the file structure is .AVI - I basically rename the .MOD files to .AVI in a DOS window, and they work fine ( Using VLC Media Player). Basically, access your camera like a Hard Drive from your PC, copy and paste your .MOD video files ( don't worry about the .MOI's, I don't know what they do, and they don't affect the play or sound of the video ), then rename them from either WIndows Explorer, or a Dos window, to a .AVI file extension. They play perfect for me. I tried using the Videocam Suite 1.0, but it is JUNK, and won't work with my XP Media Edition on my Dell anyway, the manual states that as well.

St Mary
St Mary's Church is a large parish church built in 1876–8 in central Brighton Listed Grade II*, it is Emerson's most significant building and only church in Britain. It is broadly neo-Gothic in style, but includes Oriental and Classical features that reflect both Emerson's career in India and his passion for architectural hybridity. The exterior is of red brick and pink sandstone with slate roofs, the interior of red and buff brick with Bath stone piers.
Top tips from feedback:
- Interrogate tenders minutely and be sure that you and the architects agree about what has been asked of the contractors and that wording is understood
- Don't skimp on contingency costs; if it's a big/complex building assume extra essential works will be found in the course of the repairs.
- Assume a timetabling overrun of at least a third of the planned duration.
- If you're not at risk, strike out the terrorism clause in the works insurance cover! Insurers will insist you also have terrorism cover which can add over £1,000
- Budget for cleaning assistance if you're trying to keep the church running while repairs happen internally – there will be dust.

This document, issued by the Research Section of SFWP is of particular interest appearing as it did during a period where the issue of nuclear power loomed large in the consciousness of Irish citizens due to the possibility of a nuclear reactor being constructed at Carnsore Point. That never came to pass, but the document attempts to engage with the issue.
It is divided into an Introduction, an overview of various technical and scientific aspects of the production nuclear power, a consideration of Alternatives and Buying Nuclear Power as well as a Conclusion.
In the introduction it notes that in 1978:
…we published a pamphlet on Energy which examined the question of providing electricity by using various fuels in order to produce electricity as cheaply as possible. We considered that nuclear power would not give us cheap electricity. Since then there have been further developments in relation to energy sources and we believe that a full and public debate on the issues involved in the energy problem for Ireland is essential.
At this remove it is interesting to see the mention of nuclear fusion reactors, which the text notes 'Fusion reactors are not likely [to be in use] before about 2,000 or later'.
It notes the events at Three Mile Island in the United States where 'mechanical and human failures led to a release of low-level radiation into the atmosphere around the Three Mile Island plant'. It continues 'The anti-nuclear lobby seized on the accident as proof positive that all nuclear reactors are unsafe and therefore should be closed down. Countries with nuclear power plants, the vast majority of them, did not see the wisdom of closing down nuclear power plants'.
In light of the Chernobyl accident only a short number of years later the following appears somewhat optimistic:
The nuclear accident at Harrisburg caused expressions of concern around the world. Energy officials in the Soviet Union and elsewhere let it be known that while increased precautions may be taken the nuclear power programme will go forward.
In an interview with the newspaper Trud Fyodor I. Ovchinnikov, the Deputy Minister of Electricity and Electrification, said that the possibility of a slip-shod attitude existed where private interests, in this case those of the owner of the nuclear energy station, were regarded as of paramount importance.
The section on Alternatives is somewhat cursory, and argues that 'what the anti-nuclear lobby are asking countries with an urgent and vital need for supplies of cheap energy to do is take a theory on trust, to make an act of faith in the possibility of producing great quantities of electricity in this way.'
The Conclusion clearly points towards the eventual use of nuclear power, albeit suggesting that in the context of reactors produced in the United States 'the private enterprise approach is obviously not making sufficient safety provisions' while 'nuclear power stations built in socialist countries are more advanced on safety… but this may mean they are more costly to build and therefore will not compare favourably with the cost of stations run on conventional fuel'. Interestingly there is no mention made of British or other European reactors.

Many thanks to the person who donated this to the Archive.
This document was published by the Student Union of the National College of Art in Dublin (later the NCAD), and written by Paddy Gillan. The dedication is suggestive of its political provenance:
To Cathal Goulding, house-painter, who spoke at a student seminar in November 1970; trusting that he and his fellow tradesmen will find it of value to apprentices.
As the acknowledgements explain, the 'pamphlet is, primarily, the result of a seminar – "Art and Society" which was held in the NCA in November, 1970'. It notes that 'The theoretical guidance of speakers at the seminar – in particular, Jack Dowling, Lelia Doolan, Seamus O Tuathail and Eoghan Harris – helped enormously in my attempt to analyse the NCA situation'
And continues:
'For advice and help in writing this pamphlet, I am indebted to Nell McCafferty, Anne Harris and John Armstrong'.
It is broken up into five chapters or sections and attempts to give an overview of the NCA and its then situation. At that time the College was situated as part of the Leinster House complex between 'Dáil Éireann and the National Library in what were once the stables of Leinster House'. The Overview notes that at the time 120 students were in attendance in the institution, 'eighteen class-rooms existed in the College, many of which are closed, necessary equipment is scarce. Rules and regulations governing the use of such equipment as exists result in it lying idle more often than it is in use. Maintenance of the NCA is in the hands of the Board of Works. The building is patrolled each night by a military picquet; the attitudes to academic discipline reflect this'.
The Background suggests that from its inception to the 1920s:
The school [Metropolitan School of Art – as was] was a colonialist institution. The work conducted in [it] was a mixture of Graeco-Roman and English art-decorative traditions. This was actualised in the form of individual art-objects – drawings, paintings, sculptures – and multiple craft objects which were for private consumption. The actualisation took place in a British colony, the people were politically, economically, culturally and educationally oppressed. The staff and students of the school were, essentially, privileged and their function was to serve the cultural needs of the beneficiaries of colonialism in Ireland – the British, Anglo-Irish and upper-middle class sections of the community. As it served an elite minority, the school was neither a proper cultural or educational establishment because proper culture and education must serve and relate to the whole of a community; furthermore, it was almost totally isolated from the community. Elitism and isolation continue to affect the NCA.
There is much more, not least an interesting insight into the history of the NCA Students Union, formerly the NCA Students Representative Council, which is criticised for having formerly:
..concentrated purely on social affairs. Apart from meeting at social functions, NCA students were effectively disunited and disorganised within the College… student general meetings were rarely held; when they were, it was to discuss the Annual Art Ball.
But the account of developments in the 1967 to 1971 period gives – perhaps – an echo of events occurring further afield, not least in the form of student boycotting of classes due to conditions in the NCA in relation to lack of staff and resources culminating in a 'work-in' in February 1969 (there's an entertaining reference to Brian Lenihan, then Minister of Education, being forced 'to leave a meeting at TCD through a toilet window after repeatedly refusing to state why he had closed the NCA [on foot of student actions]'. In April there was an occupation of the NCA and the following year there was another occupation and by January 1971 NCA students were picketing the Department of Education on a daily basis and further occupations ensued.
The final section, Beyond History addresses further the issue of neo-colonialism and the position of the NCA within that context.
The pamphlet also gives a sense of the times and the attitude to cultural areas within the state. There's one telling quote from Terry Kelleher in Hibernia from 1970:
The crux of the matter is that the NCA is not economically productive in the way that a school of engineering or college of technology can be. Neither is the College a vote-catching issue.

Many thanks to Alan Mac Simoin for scanning and forwarding this document to the Archive.
Unusually there's no clear provenance of this document. It mentions the Civil Rights Movement, People's Democracy and the Republican Movement, and the cover is obviously taken from the famous Joe McCann 'Army of the People' photograph from the Official IRA. That said it appears to have been written by NICRA or PD members and any clarification on it would be very welcome.
It was written in the wake of internment and before the suspension of Stormont in March 1972.
As such it calls for the end of internment on foot of what it considers to be a mobilisation of the people. It also focusses on Crossmaglen and gives a detailed list of activities in that area such as protests, barricades and other forms of opposition to the state. There's also a 'Jail Journal' reprinted from the Irish Times which consists of a personal account by Seamus O Tuathail, former editor of the OSF United Irishman and his experiences in Crumlin Road Prison.
The document also states the aims of the groups that it represents, most important of which is the establishment of a 'democratic assembly' and that:
The Assembly would be organised on a 32-county basis, and would lay the foundation for an all-Ireland democratic republic in the tradition of Tone, Connolly and the 1916 Proclamation.

Hard for those of us in the WP to believe, but it's now two years since the death of Tomás MacGiolla. As I said at the time, MacGiolla was a giant of a man in every sense – a man of personal and political integrity, as well as someone of great political vision. He remained politically active to the end. The above link is a Word version of his speech at the 1969 ard fheis, which was held in January 1970, and which saw the minority walk out to form the provisionals' political wing. So the speech is significant for the reaction to the events of August 1969 in the north, and for the tensions of the looming formalisation of the split. It's both of historical interest, and reflects the vision that drove Tomás and his politics to the end.
One thing that might surprise people looking back on Sinn Féin documents and the United Irishman from this period and into the early 1970s now is that they are not dominated by the north to the extent that we might expect. In the opening section of the speech, which was in Irish, MacGiolla addresed not the north, but the situation in the rural south, and especially in the west [the document lacks fadas, and there is a translation of the Irish included in this transcription of the speech]. Although parts of the speech might not have been worded in subsequent years as they were by MacGiolla in 1969, parts of it seem more contemporary.
But instead of trying to relieve the distress of the people, the Dublin government is actually making things worse. Even the Stormont government would not have the audacity and brazenness to force 36,000 farmers into emigration in the four year period 1969 -72, and then to call this plan, which will cause decimation amongst the small farmers of the country an Economic Development Plan, as the Dublin government has done.
The speech reflects the Sinn Féin fear in the 1960s that closer economic cooperation was the first step towards some kind of federal arrangement between the UK and the Republic.
It would be more honest with the Irish people and especially with their own party members, if with Mr. Lynch and his colleagues, Mr. Blaney, Boland, Haughey, Colley and others in Fianna Fail who have finally and formally abandoned the objective of an Independent Republic and who believe in federation with Britain, would form a Federal Party to advance their ideas rather than continue to advance them behind cloak of Republicanism.
The main thrust of the speech on the north is the necessity to continue with the civil rights campaign, and to ensure its non-sectarian character. The ultimate aim of unity through uniting the common people of all religions is laid out, despite the pressures that resulted from the events in the north.
Republicans and others are therefore still denied basic civil liberties and intend to press for a continued campaign to achieve them. What has been achieved has been got by a hard struggle. If the people now relax in their efforts, not alone will they make no further progress but much of what has been achieved will be gradually whittled away.
In spite of the deliberately fermented sectarianism during the course of the Civil Rights campaign, the Civil Rights movement must renew its efforts to emphasise its non sectarian character. This is also the most difficult and most challenging task for Republicans in the 70's. The unity of Catholic and Protestant workers is essential in the struggle against the Tory establishment and against British Colonial and neo-colonial rule in Ireland. A new nation will be built, not through the efforts of the Belfast, Dublin or London Government but through the efforts of the common people of Ireland. The mass of the people of all religions can be united behind a coherent ideological stand and this Republicans are now trying to inject into politics North and South.
For MacGiolla, the task remained the placing of economic and political power in the hands of the plain people of Ireland.
The power of the establishment here can be smashed by the same methods as were used in the 6 counties. To do so the broad mass of people must be united behind a well defined programme. I believe the programme on which such unity can be achieved is a programme for the re-conquest of Ireland set out as a series of Economic, Social, and Cultural demands. We must therefore formulate such a programme and endeavour to unite all radical and progressive groups in a movement for the achievement of these demands, making use of all the methods of agitation and political action which would be likely to help our objective.
A clear insight then into the strategic intentions of the leadership of which Tomás MacGiolla was a part, and of his determination not to be knocked off course.

This document [and many thanks to the person who donated it] may seem at first sight an unlikely one to be part of the Left Archive, however it provides both an overview of the general conditions and history of the prison system in Northern Ireland for political prisoners – Loyalist and Republican, and also gives an insight into the relationships between both as well as a developing political consciousness on the part of the former.
Produced in 1998 by the EPIC (Ex-Prisoners' Interpretative Centre) in Belfast it provides in a series of chapters
The Preface notes that EPIC 'as a community based self-help organisation welcome [new arena's for addressing differences and representing communities] and will continue to give our support to these latest developments at the political level, we are also conscious of the impact and legacy of violent conflict at community level'.
EPIC has taken responsibility to assist in the reintegration and transformation of ex-prisoners who engaged in the violent conflict. As an integral part of this work EPIC has undertaken intensive research into prison-related issues – whether describing the background to the prison experience itself, or cataloguing the many predicaments, problems and concerns which politically- motivated ex-prisoners encounter upon release.
The Introduction further notes that:
For the past thirty years there have been thousands of Loyalists incarcerated in NI's prisons and yet very little has been written about the subject. That neglect is all the more noticeable when one considers the number of books and other publications which have appeared dealing with Republican prisoners.
And most importantly given the left orientation of some Loyalist originating political parties:
Just as remarkable has been the crucial impact former prisoners and their associates have made upon the political process – a process once kept remove from working class aspirations and interventions. Within the Loyalist working-class community parties such as the Progressive Unionist Party and the Ulster Democratic Party have done much to help move this entire society away from the politics of intransigence and violence to the politics of accommodation and dialogue, while proving that no surrender of identity or aspiration need be involved in the process.
Inside the document there is a chronological approach, with sections addressing 'The Early Days: Crumlin Road Jail' – with interesting anecdotes about how the various paramilitary groupings had to liaise in order to maintain discipline, 'Internment and Long Kesh' – and demands for political status where, as is noted, 'we didn't get much help from the UUP or the wider unionist population', 'Early Prison Protests', 'Coping with Life inside', 'Fighting Criminalisation' and so on.
A telling point is made when it is noted that:
Not all the prisoners were interested in politics, some just wanted to get on with their sentences, but a small number of men were interested and they got involved in political debates and discussions, not only with fellow Loyalists but with Official Republicans.
The sense of the prison experience as a crucible for 'fresh political thinking', as the document puts it, is strongly reinforced by these observations.

This document [donated by PW for which many thanks], published as Repsol Pamphlet No. 21 in 1975, offers an overview of the life of Liam (Billy) McMillen.
McMillen was a pivotal figure in the Belfast IRA from the 1940s onwards with a career that spanned the Border Campaign, the politicisation of SF following the end of the campaign, and through to Civil Rights (he was a member of the first executive of NICRA) and the outbreak of armed conflict in 1969. He was also instrumental in the history of the IRA both pre and post split. As Officer Commanding in Belfast his centrality to this history is self-evident.
McMillen was murdered in 1975 by the INLA during the feud between them and the OIRA subsequent to the split in the latter.
This document contains an Appreciation by Des O Hagan, a lecture by McMillen on the 'Role of the I.R.A. 1962 − 1967', a speech of his at Bodenstown in 1973, an oration by Cathal Goulding at his graveside and a short poem by Dominic Behan.
What is most strongly notable is the emphasis on Republicanism throughout from Des O'Hagan's appreciation to Goulding's oration. It's also notable for the explicit recognition of the Irish Republican Army, as again exemplified in Goulding's oration. That the language and tone are particularly harsh is perhaps explicable on the events surrounding his death.
What's of particular interest are McMillen's own words. His speech from Bodenstown in 1973 points to a number of perhaps contradictory strands.
For while there have been changes in the elements that go to make up the historic republican movement, so too have there been changes in the face and operation of capitalism and imperialism. If once the imperialist sought control of trading post and territory, today his trading post is at every street corner and his territory is measured in square feet in the gutted centres of our cities and towns.
And he continues:
The Six Counties at peace, if that could be achieved by a combination of war-weariness, subjugation, repression and political trickery, would be more valuable to the imperialist than the Six COunties risen in resistance against him. We may even ask if the 32 counties, united as one market place but free of resistance by any group, would not serve his purpose even better? For the lesson which has been underlined by fifty years of the Free State's existence has been that a mockery of independence without the reality of control by and for the people is a petty and useless thing. And a government of Irishmen who would betray its working people, to the British Army, the RUC or the sectarian UDR finds it no great contradiction to betray its people to the international capitalists whom it pays to come and control its industry, its mines and its people.

This document, printed in 1972, provides an overview by US activist and journalist Gerry Foley. Foley who worked for Trotskyist publication, Intercontinental Press spent some time in Ireland in 1970 and in 1972 meeting and interviewing 'revolutionary nationalist leaders, including Cathal Goulding, the man known as the chief of staff of the Irish Republican Army, and Tomas MacGiolla, the President of Sinn Féin, the political arm of the republican movement.'
When he returned 'in the turbulent early months of 1972… he went on to tour Europe and Scandinavia with Malachy McGurran,leader of the Official Republican movement in the North, to build an international defines of the liberation struggle in Ireland'.
The document itself is drawn from an essay that first appeared in Intercontinental Press in 1972.
In the introduction Foley outlines the circumstances that led to 'in May-June 1968, a mass movement develop[ing] among the nationalist minority in Northern Ireland.'
And he notes 'the rise of this movement also reflected other changes that had been accumulating beneath the surface. After the failure of the 1956-62 guerilla campaign, the traditional nationalist movement, the IRA, had been forced to rethink its historic positions. In this process it moved away from concentrating exclusively on guerrilla warfare in the name only of national unity and full independence. It began to develop a program of political action based on the immediate needs and aspirations of the mass of the people.'
He continues:
One of the first effects of the massive fighting that developed in August 1969 was a split in the IRA. The rise of communal warfare encouraged some veterans of the 1956-62 campaign, who had been opposed or indifferent to the new orientation, to break away from the Official movement and forma Provisional IRA. Although they too have been changing under the pressure of the situation, the Provisionals have generally stressed military action as the main form of fighting the oppression of the Catholic community. The Officials have tried to combine commando group activity with peaceful mass action.
And he notes:
In general the distinction between the two groups has been seen in terms of mass action vs. guerrilla warfare. Smaller socialist groups, which had tended to discount the revolutionary potential of democratic demands, have found themselves either isolated or drawn into the orbit of one or the other militant nationalist organisation, since this was the arena where the struggle for leadership was centred.
And he concludes:
If traditionalism is not dead yet, the pressure of events and the spread of new ideas seems to have dealt it a mortal blow. In the future any radical organisation will have to stand on its political program and not its historical credentials.
In the main body of the article he discusses the then recent declaration by the Official IRA in May 19, 1972, that it was 'suspending armed offensive operations in Ulster'. And he attempts to parse out the meaning of that statement both in terms of its direct impact and its future implications. What is of particular interest is the way in which Foley points to a range of actions, including the death of an OIRA volunteer, Martin O'Leary, during the Mogul silver mine strike in 1971 and position this within the developing approach of Official Republicanism.
He also notes the various influences on Official Republicanism from 'British ultra-leftist and workerist groups [in Derry]' to 'Stalinism' and the 'scholastic fuzziness… of the British Communist Party'. And he argues that there is a danger that 'since the civil rights movement has not proceeded as expected and the republican leadership was evidently not prepared politically for the actual results – that disorientation will set in'.
And intriguingly given later developments in OSF he argues that:
By its devotion to the ideals of socialism and its uncompromising fight against all the conservative forces in Ireland, the Official republican movement has won the support of a large number of dedicated revolutionary youth. By waging centralised political campaigns and by giving clear political direct, it can weld these youth into the best fighting force in Europe. The main instrument of this process, however, cannot be an 'army of the people'; it must be the party of the Irish revolution.
That his analysis is critical but sympathetic is particularly useful in getting a sense of the time.

This document – donated by Jim Monaghan, for which many thanks – is part of the Repsol (Republican Socialist) series of pamphlets issued by Official Sinn Féin in the early 1970s (date unfortunately unknown). It lays out its theoretical framework from the start.
The main conflict which affects the lives and destinies of the Irish people today is that between English imperialism and the Irish nation.
It continues:
The character of conflicts within the nation can be of vital importance in affecting the struggle between the nation and Britain, primarily because the divisions within the nation affect the character of the national independence movement: they give rise to the existence of compromising sections who may seek to do a deal with imperialism in certain conditions.
It notes…
The most important conflicts within the nation are those between employers and employees, between British and foreign-owned business and Irish-owned business, and between the pro-imperialist section of the population, mainly the Unionists and the Fine Gael Castle Catholics in the South, and the rest of the nation.
The document also notes … 'the existence of potential allies among the 'democracy' of Britain – the common people – and particularly in the Labour and trade union movement in that country. There has always been a tradition of support – though frequently a very slender one, for Irish national aspirations among the most progressive and anti-imperialist sections of the British people, and particularly the British workers who numerically predominate in that country.'
And it is useful to see that the outline of 'the main elements of British imperialist domination' are primarily…
Political union with the Six Counties, and military occupation of that area by British forces…[…] Economic domination of the Six counties…
There is more to the analysis contained within the pamphlet, but it indicates a clear emphasis on the economic nature of imperialism military, at least as it impacts upon Ireland, in the approach of Official Sinn Féin albeit one which is encapsulated within a familiar rhetoric of contextualising it in relation to England or Britain.
