On Gujjars And Bakarwals
Nomadic Graziers of the Himalaya: The Gujjars of
Jammu and Kashmir
Bimal Misri–
The glaciation in the Indian sub continent continued for a long time. However, the formation of the Himalaya came into being about 25 million years ago. After its formation, this great mountain system remained under glaciers and sheets of snow and their melting continued till about 10,000 years ago. Since the emergence of the Himalaya and the surrounding plains was a gradual process, the settlement of human population in the Himalaya too was a slow exercise. The early settlers must have chosen the outer Himalaya or the hills adjoining plains as their first abode. With the process of snow melting they must have migrated above in the vertical fashion thereby creating Himalayan settlements.
The migration from one particular altitude to another above may have been necessitated by various factors like availability of additional area and the inherent quest of the human mind to explore and know new areas. It is, perhaps, because of these reasons that we find human settlements in Himalaya right from Jammu (aft 350 m) to Changthang (aft 5200 m). The accounts of human settlements in the Himalaya may have been lost in the antiquity, yet a fair assumption can be made about the "recent" settlers. According to the recorded history of human transhumance and settlement, the Aryans came into Himalayan pastures during 1500 BC (Debenhem, 1977). By this time the Aryans of Central Asia had domesticated the horse and this provided an unlimited mobility to the Aryans.
When they observed the vast potential of the Himalayan pastures, they migrated and initially settled here. Later, they spread to the plains and the entire north western India came under influence of the Aryans. The migration of the Aryans from top to down and the movement of original inhabitants from lower altitudes to higher ones gave rise to a number of ethnic identities in the Himalaya. However, the influence of the Aryans on transhumance and pastoralism, remained a dominant characteristic. The intermingling of the Aryans and the native population gave rise to various ethnic identities in this area. Most of these were initially pastoralists but later they took to settled agriculture. However, some of the communities maintained their tradition and are still practising the migratory livestock rearing. The most important communities are Gaddis, Bhotyas, Jahads, Changpas, Bakarwals and Gujjars. This paper aims at presenting the findings of a survey undertaken on the Gujjars of districts of Jammu and Udhampur of Jammu and Kashmir state.
Anthropological aspects Though nothing can be said with certainty about the origin and rise of the Guijars, it is evident from various theories and hypothesis that they are an ancient tribe of India. It is, generally, believed that these people migrated to India before 6th century AD from central Asia and settled in Gujarat and Rajasthan. They are believed to be the descendants of the ancient Yuchis or Kushans. During 7th century, a devastating drought occurred in Rajasthan and Gujarat and some of the Gujjars migrated to the Shiwalik hills i.e; the outer Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and other Himalayan areas.
According to Cunningham, the noted explorer, the Gujjars are prominently present in every part of the north western India from the Indus to Ganges and from Hazara mountains to the peninsular Gujarat. In Jammu and Kashmir, numerically they are the third largest ethnic group and are spread throughout Jammu and Kashmir. They are not found in Ladakh but some of them migrate along with their flocks of sheep, goat and cattle to Dras area of Ladakh. Ethnicity Initially the Gujjars were Hindus but during the rule of Mughal king Aurangazeb, most of them converted to Islam but retained their Hindu gotras or subcastes. The common gotras are: Bhati, Chandel, Chauhan, Baniya, Lodha, Bhensi, Chopra, Chechi, and Khatana. The Gujjars of Jammu and Kashmir have also retained these gotras and marriage in the same gotra is strictly prohibited. They speak a dialect which is different from Dogri and Kashmiri, the major languages of the state.
The site of Spirituality
The Shrine of Wanghat has always served as a consoling place of disheartened soulsAmong the tribals of Jammu and Kashmir the shrine of Mian Baba Ji Sahib at Wanghat is of great significance. Besides the tribals, people from the planes also visit the shrine. Situated in the lap of mountains, with pristine ambience the Shrine reinforces the collective consciences of Gujjars and Bakerwals of J&K State.The real name of Baba Ji (as popularly known) was Ubaidullah son of Mian Fazal Gul. He was born on Friday at Sanjwada Balakot Hazara (Pakistan) in 1960 Bikramie era.
Saints had predicted to his father about the birth of a child who will excel in spirituality, and piety. Despite being illiterate his two books, Israr Kabirie and Malfuzat Nazimia are considered scholarly writings. Gujjars and Bakerwals give central importance to the shrine of Wanghat Sharief. The place first developed into a sacred site with the arrival of Ubaid-ullah Bijran from Hazara in the late nineteenth century. The immigration was instrumental for the transformation of the Bakerwals and Gujjars from an occupational category to one single ethnic group. The individuals and families accompanying Ubaid-ullah, formed the nucleus for the ethno genesis of this community, which in present J & K State, is a conglomerate of Sunni families from several ethnic groups. The Shrine of Wanghat which is held in high reverence by the Kashmiris in general and Gujjars in particular, is built at the graves of Ubaid-ullah and his son Mian Nizam-ud-Din.
Ubaid -ullah popularly known as Mian Baba Ji was born around the middle of the nineteenth century in Sanjura, Hazara. Among the three sons he was the youngest and was deeply religious who sought spiritual guidance from several preceptors of Naqshbandhi Sufi order. He was an orphan at the age of four and thus the hardships of life began while he was ignorant about the life itself. He was brought under the guidance and patronage of Hazrat Nizam-u-Din Khanawari in Muzaffarabad. At thirty he migrated to Wanghat on the instructions of his Pir as a devotee to various shrines. During his travel when he prayed, he got some unusual imprints. After his return when he conveyed the story to his Peer Hazrat Khaja Khannive, the Peer directed him to visit back and settle there forever. Regarding this place at Lar saint Sheikh Noor Din Noorani had forecast that this will be the residing place of a pious and spiritual person who will illuminate the area by his pious deeds.
Consequently Ubaidullah migrated in the last decade of 19th Century with a group of sixteen disciples, mostly Gujjars. He settled at Lar, originally a pasture area and uninhabited, above Sindh valley.In the years that followed, he came to be known as Babaji Larvi and the number of his disciples increased manifold. Baba Ji spend his whole life as a simple man helping the needy, poor, sick and ignorant. The desperate and dejected people usually visited him with hope and would return relieved. Babaji held the religious congregations where religious knowledge was imparted to the community. Before leaving to pastures to graze the cattle, tribals visit the shrine to pray for the safety of themselves and their reared cattle. The sick people visit it with a hope of spiritual treatment. He was succeeded by his son Mian Nizam-u-Din who also passed away in 1972. Both are buried inside the shrine. Mian Nizam-ud-Din was the disciple of Babaji who occupied the place after his death.
Mian Nizam-ud-Din also lived a life of piety and spirituality. Besides illuminating the community with religious teaching he fought against the money lenders who usually exploited the poor masses. The Urs of Mian Baba Ji Sahib is celebrated in the month of June. The tribal from all over the state come to Wanghat and celebrate it with collective faith. The people from planes also participate in the Urs. The devotees feel a sort of relief from the sufferings of this world at the calm, cool, beautiful, venerated and of course, the prized site of Mian Baba Ji Sahib.The Shrine of Wanghat has always served as a consoling place of disheartened souls. While visiting the shrine which is located in the lap of beautiful mountains, a person feels himself relived from the difficulties of life. The Shrine has remained the great attraction for famous poet Hafiz Jalandari who spent there weeks together. Today when the Urs is celebrated in remembrance of these great saints, thousands of devotes from all over the state have assembled to pay homage to them. The disconsolate people hope and pray for their welfare and well being.

TEN YEARS AFTER - 'Portable People'/'The Sounds' (Deram DM 176) Feb 1968
This was the first Ten Years After single, released during English brass monkey weather in February 1968. It's a good 45 to seek out because both sides are not on their October 1967 debut album, also on Deram. I might post a song from that disc in the near future.
'Portable People' is a mellow country folk tune, maybe even ahead of it's time. The lyrics deal with the growing movement of holiday makers from England to other parts of the world, especially Europe. Prior to the mid 60s I don't think us working class Brits moved too far away from where we were born never mind to another country.
TEN YEARS AFTER - Portable People
See them at the airport with their cases in their hand
Got a ten day package in another land
They're the jet age gypsies with a super-sonic sound
They're the portable people, and they take themselves around
They're the portable people, and they take themselves around
Portable people, flyin' in the air
Portable people, goin' everywhere
Portable people, goin' everywhere
The flip 'The Sounds' another Alvin Lee original, is progressive blues with flashes of acid guitar leads.

Filthy Communication Out of the Mouth, PDF format
"But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth" (Col. 3:8)
"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers" (Eph. 4:29)
"But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks" (Eph. 5:4)
Difference Between a Fall and a Walk
These scriptural texts are very plain. The believer in Christ, in his speech no less than in his actions or in his very thoughts, should always seek to glorify his Lord. And this means that he should not make use of vulgar words, swear words, or obscene language, in his speech. Anyone who regularly and without remorse uses such language, reveals that he is not as yet a regenerate person, regardless of any claims he may make.
Let me be correctly understood at this point: even true Christians fall into sins of all kinds. Just as Peter, when he was afraid, "began to curse and to swear" (Matt. 26:74), many Christians, in moments of weakness and temptation, may utter words which are sinful to speak, just as they may commit other sins. "For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body" (Jas. 3:2). A fall into sin does not mean that a person is unregenerate! Sinless perfection does not exist in any believer this side of heaven. Knowing all too well that "the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity… an unruly evil, full of deadly poison" (Jas. 3:5-8), the true child of God prays, as David did, "Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips" (Psa. 141:3). He knows how easily he may sin with his tongue, and he prays for the Lord's grace to preserve him from it.
But when a professing Christian readily uses filthy language, not in a moment of temptation but as a way of speaking, and then proceeds to justify and defend it, this is a walk in sin, which is a very different thing from a fall into sin! This kind of behaviour reveals a heart still in love with the world, showing no remorse and quite at peace with using the language of the world. Such a person is not to be received as a brother or sister in Christ, regardless of the profession of faith they may make.
Yes, Words Differ in Meaning from Place to Place, But…
It is true that what is considered an obscene word in one place or culture may not be considered obscene in another. Words develop different meanings in different places. In the United Kingdom, for instance, a word or a phrase which has an obscene meaning may have no such meaning whatsoever in the United States; and vice versa. The same may be true of what is considered a filthy word in South Africa, which when spoken in another English-speaking country may have no such connotations. Allowances must be made for "region-specific" word-meanings, and a Christian visitor from another country must be mature about this, and not take offence when a word is used which clearly does not have the meaning he would attach to it "back home".
But when a word or phrase is viewed as obscene in a particular country or culture, it should never be used by believers from that country or culture; and when it is universally viewed as obscene, it should never be used by believers anywhere.

The biggest reunion to date of ex-Apple employees will converge on Silicon Valley next month. Company co-founder Steve Wozniak will be going, but his former partner Steve Jobs will not.
The AppleLore gathering at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, on Saturday, Sept. 13, is expected to attract more than 1,000 ex-Apple employees.
Steve Wozniak, the electronics genius behind Apple's first computers, has promised to attend. However, Wozniak's ex-partner and the company's current chief executive, Steve Jobs, will be tied up in Paris for Apple Expo, organizers said.
"Mingle with old friends and adversaries," promises the event's website, in recognition of the oft-stormy atmosphere at the company. "Names on badges will be really BIG so you can remember everyone's name!"
One name no one will need to remember is Steve Jobs, famous for being an absolute nightmare to work for – at least in Apple's early days.
"I think if Jobs were going he'd be well-received," said Owen Linzmyer, author of Apple Confidential, a history of the company. "He's certainly been responsible for bringing Apple back from the brink, and strange as it may seem, many former employees think he's swell."
It's not the first reunion of Apple employees, but the AppleLore event promises to be the biggest yet. Previous reunions in 1989 and 1994 attracted about 650 ex-employees. Again, Woz attended both events but Jobs did not, organizers said.
The AppleLore event is open to all employees who worked at Apple between 1976 and 1993, as well as alumni of Claris, Apple's software subsidiary. (Museum organizers chose 1993 as the cutoff date because anything newer than a decade old "isn't history.")
The get-together is seen as the easiest way to gather as much lore about the company as possible, explained the Computer History Museum's executive director and CEO John Toole.
"It's part reunion, and it's part information gathering," Toole said. "I think it's going to be a big deal."
Attendees will be interviewed by roving "reporters" (museum employees and volunteers) armed with video cameras.
There will also be videotaped round-table discussions with dozens of former employees. The employees will be encouraged to reminisce about key events like the launch of the Macintosh, or working on QuickTime, Apple's pioneering multimedia platform. The museum is also taping the recollections of key employees, some of which will air at the event.
Toole hopes Apple alumni will bring, in addition to their stories, artifacts and memorabilia to donate to the museum.
Maxine Graham, an ex-Apple marketing executive and a member of the planning committee, estimated that about half of Apple's upper management will either attend or record a video interview for the museum's archives.
Graham said former CEOs John Sculley and Mike Scott are both coming, and Michael Spindler may also attend, though that's not confirmed yet, she said.
Mike Markkula, Apple's original angel investor, is likely to attend, as is Apple's best-selling marketing executive, Guy Kawasaki. Jean-Louis Gassée, one of the most colorful Apple executives, will not, but he has promised to record a video interview, Graham said.
"It looks like it's going to be a really nice mix of people, going all the way back to 1976," Graham said.
Graham acknowledged that a lot of infighting happened at the company, and not everyone got on. Jobs, especially, earned a reputation as being difficult to work for.
"There was a lot of emotional involvement, a lot of passion involved in what we were doing," she said. "But people remember the past fondly, even if it was painful at the time. I was the marketing manager for the Apple III," she said, laughing. The Apple III was a disaster.
"It was very painful, but I fondly recall the times. There may have been tough times, but they were also amazing times. We got to do a lot of things. We got to invent an industry."

New Madrid, Mo., August 5, 1861.
Major-General POLK:
Your dispatch of the 30th ultimo is acknowledged. From its contents I infer that you are of the opinion that any movement into the interior should be suspended. If such is your opinion, it occurs to me that it should never have been made. I have never been in favor of occupying this place, except as a base of operations for movements into the interior, looking to substantial relief to Missouri.
As a strategical point, this is not a strong position. If the enemy contemplate an early movement down the river, our position here is not favorable for arresting it. It would have been better, in this view of the case, to have occupied the position indicated before at Randolph and Fort Pillow, and not have extended our line of posts so far forward. As we extend our line of posts forward we necessarily weaken our means of protecting them. I would never have consented to occupy and garrison this place. Indeed, I did not understand you as wishing or expecting it. I do not know the information you have from General Hardee, but my information here is, that General Hardee has already advanced with 3,000 men to Greenville, and that he was moving upon Ironton. I do not think there is a doubt about his being there now.
I am satisfied the enemy are not now in condition to advance, neither do I think he will attempt to do so before fall. He is hard at work fortifying his position at Bird's Point, and alarmed at the prospect of an early attack. I am in receipt of news from his positions almost every day. If we are to move at all, we should do so promptly. If we are to await his pleasure and the accumulation of his forces, then this is not the proper place to meet him. If I am to move forward, my force must be strengthened. If I am not to go forward, it is certainly a very unfortunate movement. If the enemy should determine to make a move down the river in strength, the force here has no advantage of position, whereas at Fort Pillow and Randolph they could repel three times their number. With additional force and united with Hardee's command, we could cut our way anywhere; we could certainly expel the enemy from the interior even if we left the river infested with their forces. Destroy the railroad running into the interior, and you at once cripple the enemy's movements to such an extent that the country could organize and protect itself. I am clearly of the opinion that we should advance promptly or abandon this place.
There is no room here for troops, and miserable water where we are forced to encamp. There is no alternative but to go forward or fall back. If I am to be held in command of this position or to go forward abandoning my base of operations, I would prefer the latter course, though such a measure would be fraught with peril. If this place is to be held, there should be not less than 10,000 men here; our present force held here would invite attack. A small force would be much safer in the interior than it is here. The river furnishes such means of approach, that they can throw upon this place in three hours any amount of force at their disposal, whereas in the interior they would be obliged to resort to our mode of transportation. You promised me the co-operation of Hardee's force. He is clear out of reach. My views are fully before you, and I shall await your decision.
Your obedient servant,
General, Commanding.

Islington Council urges shops to get tough on acid sales
PUBLISHED: 07:00 21 September 2017
Islington Council is asking shops to take the lead in stopping the sale of corrosive substances after a spate of acid attacks across London this year.
Shops in the borough are being urged not to sell strong corrosives to people under 18, the Gazette can reveal – and to use the "challenge 25" policy if the shopper appears to be under 25.
There have been two high-profile acid attacks in Islington this year.
In April, a 40-year-old dad suffered life-changing injuries when someone threw acid on him near Copenhagen Street's junction with Caledonian Road. The victim had been out walking with his 36-year-old partner and two-year-old son, who also suffered minor burns.
And in July, a moped rider had acid thrown at him in St Paul's Road, Highbury. It was one of six attacks which also happened in Stratford and Hackney in the space of 90 minutes. A 16-year-old boy denies the offences and will stand trial in January.
There is currently no legal age restriction on sales of strong acids or corrosive substances. A letter to retailers from the council also advises: "No corrosive substances in a location where it can be stolen, such as your shop entrance; assess who wants to buy it and why; and don't sell it if it doesn't feel right."
Cllr Andy Hull, Islington's community safety leader, said: "Acid attacks are horrific and we support tighter restrictions on the sale of acids and corrosive substances, and tougher penalties for those who use them as weapons.
"Because of the terrible damage that acid can do when it is used as a weapon, we're asking all shops in Islington to adopt a 'challenge 25' approach – checking the ID of any shopper who appears to be under 25 – when someone tries to buy acid, and politely to refuse selling it to under-18s.
"This should reduce the risk of these destructive and dangerous products being sold to young people."
Leaflets will be distributed to shops which are believed to sell corrosive substances.
Last month, a Gazette investigation also exposed how easily acid could be purchased from mainstream websites such as Amazon. We were able to buy three bottles of super-strength drain cleaner for just under £15 – with no checks made. The substance burned straight through a t-shirt and charred a steak.

Ahmadu Sheriff
A few minutes after a suicide bomber struck in Maiduguri, capital of Borno State, an angry mob set fire to a building reported to be the proposed campaign headquarters of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, a former governor of the state. Mr. Sheriff is seeking reelection to the Senate in upcoming elections in 2015. Our correspondent reported that hundreds of youngsters stormed the building that once belonged to UTC Company, but believed to have been recently acquired by the former governor to serve as the operational headquarters for his forthcoming campaign to be returned as the senator for the Borno Central Senatorial District.

Chrissie Giles on her generation's climb to Peak Booze.
"I didn't feel that I had a problem with alcohol, nor did any of my friends. We got drunk, sometimes too drunk, and then suffered the consequences. We were just doing what young people did. But recently, with getting on for 20 years of drinking under my belt, I started to wonder if my generation's relationship with alcohol was abnormal. When I looked into the numbers I realised that it was. I discovered that 2004 was Peak Booze: the year when Brits drank more than they had done for a century, and more than they have done in the decade since. Leading the way to this alcoholic apogee were those of us born around 1980. No other generation drank so much in their early twenties. Why us?"

A-G happy with positive response from participants
By MAIKA BOLATIKI
Fiji's new constitution unveiled yesterday has the support of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces (RFMF).
This was confirmed to the Fiji Sun yesterday by the RFMF Land Force Commander, Colonel Mosese Tikoitoga.
Sounding optimistic about the country's future Colonel Tikoitoga said they would carry out their role to the best their capability and has assured all of their security.
Section 131 (2) of the Constitution spells out clearly the function of the RFMF and it stipulates – "It shall be the overall responsibility of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces to ensure at all times the security, defence and well-being of Fiji and all Fijians."
According to Colonel Tikoitoga the new constitution has given equal opportunities to all and not to only a selected few as witnessed in the past.
It has also provide a secure atmosphere for the business community
This constitution, according to Colonel Tikoitoga, is tailor-made for the nation.
The new constitution, he said had set the pace for the 2014 election.
Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum said he was glad with the response from all the participants.
"Consultative sessions were held today on the final version of the new Constitution. The media, NGOs and civil society groups, the political parties and members of the diplomatic corps were invited," Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said.
The sessions he said were well attended and the new constitution was received positively.
However, he said it was a pity that none of the four registered political parties attended the briefings
When asked if it was a boycott the Attorney General said – "My response to their absence is that they just did not respond positively to the invite."
A release from the United Front for a Democratic Fiji (UNDF) on Tuesday confirmed their non-attendance.

Eh, not all the titles can be winners.
Welcome back to the Dark Match Dungeon, everybody! In case you forgot or fell off, this is the feature where we consult the wizened old oracle known as The Internet and dig up forgotten matches of today's wrestling stars before they were famous. Sorry for the hiatus as of late. I'm still hunting for a good women's dark match to show you all, but the timing for this edition here is too good to pass up. You know how Samoa Joe left TNA Impact and there are now rumors that he could be headed to NXT in the near future? Well, I figured that makes this the perfect time for a Samoan Submission Edition of the Dungeon! Because if those rumors turn out to be true, it actually won't be Joe's first time in a WWE ring. Feast your eyes on 21-year-old Samoa Joe vs. Essa Rios.
What To Look For:
- Michael Hayes and Jonathan Coachman rambling about 2001 WWF storylines. There are some muted audio segments (which you can find on the uncut, lower-quality version of this match) that refer to Chris Benoit.
- Samoa Joe with… blond-ish hair? This is very confusing.
- The awesome vault over the ring post and the moonsault finish from Rios. Definitely an underrated high-flyer, if you ask me.
- Jonathan Coachman saying "Samoan Joe." Missed it by that much.
- The flubbed powerbomb counter. Remember, Joe's just 21 here.
As the title of the video says, this is from an episode of the unfortunately-named WWF Jakked, which aired on March 3, 2001. You remember Jakked, right? It was the syndicated show that replaced Shotgun Saturday Night. As for Joe, he would join up with Ring of Honor in their inaugural year, 2002. Three years later, he made the move to TNA, where he went on a Goldbergian undefeated streak that lasted 18 months. He also hung out with some Japanese guy there, but we're not entirely sure what happened to him.

January 2nd
Yo Book!!
Well, I'll have to admit that it was fun spending time with the family and all that but it almost feels like I have been released from jail for some misdemeanor when I head back through Orgrimmar to Panderia. Fuck! It was fun, however, I kept feeling like everyone was expecting me to do something that I apparently never did do.
I know what it was, I'm not that damned stupid. I think or I kind of know that Faendra was expecting more from me for the holiday than what I did for her as far as gifts went. No, I didn't give her a ring, I had one in my bags but something just kept telling me not to stick my neck out that far. I did give her a jade necklace and some earrings that looked awesome on her with the dark green velvet gown she wore to dinner that night with the rest of the family. I don't think I'm quite ready to settle down with that white picket fence and rugrats tripping you up when you walk from one room to the next. Fnor can handle it much better than I can because he was an old man when he was still young. I'm not ready to get married yet – there is so much more out there to see and people to meet. I'm not ready for those conversations that I hear some of the other married guys having with their wives -"Yes, Dear", "No, Dear" and my favorite one of all time "Of course, Dear, you're always right." Nope, I'm just not ready for that yet. How can you tell someone that love that they are always right when you think they are dumb as a stick and couldn't find their way out of a room if the doorknob wasn't so obvious on the door.
I've always cared for her and I've always wanted to take her to bed, however, I don't think I am quite ready to make that a permanent state of affairs just yet. If I was ready to settle down, I would more than likely take her as my wife, however, people have just got to understand that just because I want to sleep with someone doesn't mean I want them tied to me forever, you know?
Besides, I've known Fae since she was just a little toddler and we've always been friends, she's just become more desirable as she has grown up and I don't think that her brother can even recognize that – she's damned sexy and attractive and I'm sure that a lot of men would like to hit that. She's intelligent, she's fun to be around and she definitely is a good huntress, however, does that mean that I am madly in love with her and want to be tied to her for the rest of my life? Not yet, no, not yet.
Going through Orgrimmar on my way back to Panderia was fun this time. I ran into a few people that I hadn't seen in a while, so, we decided to sit down and throw back a few drinks while we were waiting to get transport back to our stations. Yeah, there were a few girls there that were making goofy eyes at me and I tried my best to ignore that because after what I have been through in the last few days has put a bit of a damper on my libido. Of course, I picked up a few things before I headed back that seem to be a little hard to come by in Panderia, just some buckles that I don't see often enough unless I go through the trouble of going through all of the pockets on the corpses that I run across – that's just disgusting to even think about.
I thought about going to Silvermoon for an few hours and go to the jeweler where I ordered the ring that I had for Faendra and selling it back to him. Oh, I know, I'd take a major hit in the gold for doing that but it seemed like it might be a good idea. I did decide against that idea and just put it in my bank vault with all of my other crap. Who knows, I might change my mind one of these days and it would be handy to have that ring already made up. Right?
I'm sitting at Fnor's farm right now and I can't help but notice Kal's Kaldorei girl working in his fields right now. Now, that's one attractive lady, I don't see why that kid is just pining after that little worgen girl in Stormwind. He was supposed to meet her for the holidays, however, I'm not sure that he actually did that or not. I just know that he was acting like some lovesick dopey elf for most of the time that I was around him. His Dad just said that he was sure that whatever happened would be okay with him because he's not getting involved in any of it – I think that part of that was directed at me without him coming right out and saying that to me.
Oh well, I suppose I ought to head back to the command post and see what kind of mess has been done while we were gone. After all, I'm supposed to be second in command and all that crap. One thing I have noticed is that there seem to be a lot more people that are just kind of wandering by the farm since I got back and that bothers me a bit. Wonder why they are so curious all of a sudden – it might be that we're just being watched since Fnor blew his cool and killed that dude. Oh yeah, the rumors were flying before we left anyway.

As part of our CSR Programme, Tandem Project Management Ltd.'s engineers volunteered for the Engineers Ireland STEPS Young Engineers Award Programme.
The Engineers Ireland STEPS Programme is a non-profit outreach programme that promotes interest and awareness of engineering as a future career. The STEPS Young Engineers Award 2020 is a competition that asks 3rd and 4th class students all over the country to design an engineering project that would help their community.
As part of the award curriculum, our engineers visited participating schools in Cork and Waterford during the week 25th – 29th November. The visit included a presentation from the engineers on engineering as a career and the students then presented their projects to the engineers. After the presentations, it was time for fun and learning with games designed by STEPS to open the students minds to engineering in their local environment and to the processes involved in a design and build project. It was a fantastic opportunity for young students to become more aware of engineering in the world around them and to see what it feels like to walk in the shoes of an engineer.
The level of engagement from the students was enlightening, our engineers reported very bright young minds concerned with topics such as homelessness, climate change and single use plastics pollution. The experience of presenting to students, broadening their understanding of what engineering is, hearing their ideas and discussing practical ways that they can move forward with their projects was heartening for our engineers, they all reported a desire to get involved again next year.
Tandem wish all the students luck with their entries for the Young Engineers Award, finalists will be announced during Engineers Week, February 29th – March 6th, 2020.

Samuel Yellin received what would prove perhaps his single most important early commission in 1914, for the Frank Augustus Seiberling estate in Akron, Ohio. The creative challenges and sheer magnitude of this effort set a new standard for Yellin and showed his singular ability to design and create a fully integrated approach to hardware for a devoted architect and client. Born in 1859, Seiberling was an inventor and leading Midwestern industrialist who became famous for co-founding the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in 1898 and the Seiberling Rubber Company in 1921. The son of a German immigrant entrepreneur, Seiberling was educated at Heidelberg College in Tiffin, Ohio, before joining the J. F. Seiberling Company. He worked as secretary and treasurer of his father's farm-machinery manufacturing business, which produced the first reaping machines. The young Seiberling demonstrated his own knack for invention when he created a twine binder that tied grain bundles with a bowknot.1 In 1887 he married Gertrude Ferguson Penfield.
Amidst the panics of the 1890s, Frank Seiberling found himself jobless in 1898, nearly forty years old and supporting a wife and three children. He learned of an available strawboard factory in East Akron, which he purchased for $13,500, with a down payment of $3,500 provided by a brother-in-law.2 Within just a few days he had decided to set up a rubber business, named it for Charles Goodyear, the man who had discovered vulcanization but died penniless almost forty years earlier, and began selling stock. In 1906 Seiberling became president of the company, a position he held until 1921. He worked tirelessly, playing an essential role in developing the company and the town of Akron, which became known as the "rubber capital of the world."
Fig. 1. Stan Hywet Hall was designed by Charles S. Schneider (1874–1932) for Frank Augustus (1859– 1955) and Gertrude F. P. Seiberling (1866–1946), built 1912–1915. Recently restored and open to the public, the house retains some 95 percent of its original furnishings. Adams photograph.
The estate Seiberling and his wife developed on Akron's northwest side would be known as Stan Hywet ("stone quarry" in Old English) Hall. Built between 1912 and 1915, the English Tudor revival mansion is a masterpiece of the style and served not only as the family seat but also as the location of business meetings and an "international stage for well-known figures in music, the arts and politics." 3 Charles S. Schneider, the architect, was given a budget of $150,000, and he and the Seiberlings immersed themselves in early English design, traveling to England to visit well-known country estates, including Ockwells Manor in Berkshire, Compton Wynyates in Warwickshire, and Haddon Hall in Derbyshire. In addition, the Seiberlings engaged Boston landscape architect Warren H. Manning and New York interior decorator Hugo F. Huber, the latter of whom forged a close relationship with Gertrude Seiberling, often traveling, dining, and shopping with her. In this context of architecture and interiors steeped in European antiquity, it is unsurprising that Yellin's modernized medieval designs dovetailed so seamlessly. Because of the significance and creativity of the works created by Samuel Yellin Metalworkers for this commission, careful analysis of his participation in this project reveals much about his artistic methods and business practices.
Fig. 2. In the Library at Stan Hywet Hall Huber blended an eclectic mix of European antiques with contemporary 1915 furniture. The woodwork throughout the house was completed by the Hayden Company of New York City, which employed two English woodworkers full time for two years on the project. The carved black walnut paneling is topped with a silk fabric frieze. Adams photograph.
Initially, bids from four contractors were received for "ornamental iron companies on the work of making and erecting the entrance gates"—William H Jackson Company, W. S. Tyler Company, Winslow Brothers Company, and John Williams, but not Yellin. 4 Williams was clearly the choice of the architect, who enclosed a "sample of iron showing the hand hammered finish." For some reason, Schneider acknowledged, Seiberling was uncomfortable with making "the investment in the gates at this time" and instead chose to go ahead with the stone piers for the entrance but using temporary wooden gates.
By the middle of 1913, Schneider had requested a "bid on this work from Samuel Yellin," 5 and by May of the following year Yellin seems to have been the choice for all the decorative hardware under discussion here. Schneider reported to Seiberling on May 27, 1914, that "special Yellin work has been figured for the entire first floor, including the copper hood of Billiard Room, the grilles in the panels of the front door, iron straps on some of the beams of the Billiard Room etc." In addition, Yellin was to supply "work in the upper stories where hardware of that type is desirable, such as Bed room 'A,' the boys' rooms and the lower Guest room" and special hardware for all the exterior and interior metal casement windows and French doors. In the same letter Schneider notes that Yellin had also been solicited for estimates for thermostat fronts and electrical push-button and receptacle plates, to take the place of the "cheap stamped variety gotten out by the Johnson Company," and had been encouraged to "make them a work of art."
Fig. 3. The Billiard Room in a photograph taken by Willard Seiberling c. 1916. Designed by Yellin, the copper fireplace hood incorporates various decorative details specific to Stan Hywet, such as the completion date of the house (1915), F. A. Seiberling's initials, the winged foot symbol of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, and a Tudor rose (a design element used throughout the house).
Yellin was scheduled to meet with Schneider and Seiberling during the second week of November 1914, to "report on quantities, costs and designs of special hardware," 6 but for some reason this meeting did not occur and Yellin complained that he had gone to "a considerable amount of trouble and expense, with the aim of securing this work."7 One of Seiberling's objections to Yellin's proposed involvement had nothing to do with the artistic merit of his work. Instead his concerns stemmed from Yellin having suggested that he would need a local installer and manager of ironwork for Stan Hywet.8 Schneider suggested that they meet with Yellin in New York or Philadelphia: "It might be preferable to see him right in Philadelphia so we could go to his shop. I am keenly interested in this man and his work and would like to see how the work is done. There is no doubt in my mind but that he can do this work better than anybody else in this country and perhaps if we have such a conference with him we may be able to come to some kind of an agreement which will be more satisfactory to you."9
Seiberling replied on November 21 that he would be "glad" to meet Yellin in New York, and "after we are ready to determine how much we will do with him you can determine whether it is advisable to stop off and see his work." The letter indicates that Seiberling had decided that he wanted to give Yellin "some of the work in lower rooms," but could not "stand such a cost as he outlined in his tentative proposal." By December H. F. Huber and Company's work on the interior was moving forward quickly. Expenses were mounting quickly too: Huber billed $2,350 on December 18 for "installation of the antique woodwork for Bedroom A" and for the "new base, cornice, change in the mantel and window treatment."10

Huber Company. The double diamond design on the walls is repeated in the leaded windows and in Yellin's radiator grates installed along the curved wall. Photograph by Catherine McKinley.
In early 1915 the Seiberlings were off to England for further research and to shop for art and antiques.11 On their return, by April, the art and decoration schemes for Stan Hywet were running along quickly, with Huber leading the charge. He advised Mrs. Seiberling that "there would take place at the American Art Galleries this week
the sale of paintings belonging to the late Theron J. Blakeslee, probably the most famous English picture dealer."12 He encouraged her to alert her husband and encouraged them to participate in the sale. The couple did so, acquiring works by Sir Thomas Lawrence, Sir Joshua Reynolds, George Romney, John Hoppner, and Sir Henry Raeburn, totaling over $22,000.13 In May Huber proposed the purchase of tapestries totaling more than $42,000 through French and Company in New York, and several of these, too, were acquired.14
Apparently soon after finally contracting Yellin for the work at Stan Hywet, by June 1915, Seiberling became impatient to receive the completed order. He wrote to Yellin on June 18 that he was "naturally getting somewhat anxious as to the progress of the work, since we are approaching the time when it must be installed." Yellin replied quickly on June 21 that "the work for your new residence is progressing nicely….I am working on the Hardware, designs of which had been approved by Mr. Schneider, and I am continuously sending to Mr. Schneider other designs for his approval." As to the all-important front gates, Yellin wrote that the "working drawings for same will be forwarded to Mr. Schneider some time this week for his criticism." To speed things along Yellin promised that "the actual work will be started immediately upon the return of these drawings." Still, attempting to avoid unrealistic expectations, he wrote, "I am trying very hard to execute real iron work, and my intention is far from sacrificing the artistic quality in order to gain in time."
Figs. 5, 5a. The main entrance gates feature a range of important design elements from Yellin's early period— scrollwork, running vines and leaves, and fleur-de-lis finials. The full articulation of the large fecund grapes and the massive decorated ring handles are bold structural elements, strongly evoking ancient Spanish and French styles. Adams photograph (color).
Things certainly seem not to have raced forward over the summer, as on September 21 Yellin wrote to Seiberling that "in about two months I will be able to have these gates done….I am not simply following the drawing," he wrote, "but constantly playing around and experimenting with all the work I am doing for you in order to obtain real artistic results." While the hardware shipments had commenced by this point, Yellin again begged indulgence for delays, calling attention to his "characteristic touches in every piece of hardware," which made it impossible "that many men can be kept busy on it, and for that reason the execution of the same takes considerable time."
Seiberling continued to indulge Yellin's artistic pursuits as the work continued to get later and later for delivery, stating that he regretted to learn that the gates would "not be finished until December, though I do not want them a day sooner than you are satisfied that they can come to me with the best art that you are able to put into them."15 The remainder of the order was more urgent, he continued, as he was seeking to "move in not later than the first of December." Yellin immediately reassured his client that "I am using all my efforts to get out the work for your residence as fast as possibly can be done without injuring the quality of the work" and explaining that "there are hundreds of small details which cannot be simply made like the drawing; there are many improvements to be made which can be neither shown on paper nor explained in writing."16
Figs. 6, 6a. The Seiberlings' son Willard (1892-1981) in a photograph of c. 1920. The entrance door to Stan Hwyet Hall with its ironnail studded wooden frame contains a grid of decorative vertical iron bars, held in position not by welding as was typical of other makers of the period, but with hand-hammered bracket rings. The pointed-ring door handle marked with an S monogram is held in place with a six-point escutcheon of alternating Scottish roses and fleurs-de-lis.
Confidence in Yellin's work, despite the delays, was apparent in Seiberling's approval of further work for Bedroom C—"ornamental iron grilles for door #215… at an additional cost" of $210.17 Yellin received his first payment of $1,250, against the original contract amount of $10,245 on October 13, 1915.18 Schneider visited Yellin in mid-November and reassured Seiberling that he had "practically his entire force of men working on the contract."19 Strap hardware and hinges were to be shipped within "a week's time," with the architect and Yellin working out a schedule of priorities. Schneider visited Yellin again in early December and was disappointed to find that "there was not much…that was actually completed and ready for shipment."20 Seiberling complained that Schneider's report was "decidedly unsatisfactory, as it is not in any sense specific and leaves me up in the air as to when he will come through."21 Even so, at this point Seiberling and the architect approved adding work for the "Hospital" room to Yellin's contract.
Fig. 7. The four vertical grilles set in this door are Yellin's innovation on French design. Typical of his work, the branching vines are connected with structural rings rather than welding. The design was done specially for the door to the bedroom of the Seiberlings' daughter Irene (1890–1999), who took enormous interest in the design of the house.
Yellin reassured his client in a letter of December 6 that he had shipped "to your residence hardware for sixteen doors, such as locks, latches, bolts, etc.," with "the same amount of hardware if not more," to follow. Still, delays for other aspects of the ironwork continued. As Schneider wrote to Seiberling on December 15, "I would judge that Mr. Yellin will not have any of his wrought iron grilles and register faces at the building by Christmas time." Meanwhile, Mrs. Seiberling's decoration of the interiors continued in early 1916, including an order for various pieces of walnut and cane furniture from Thonet Brothers in New York and payments for another tapestry and "two cantonnieres and two needlework arm chairs" acknowledged by French and Company on February 19.22 On the same date billing was submitted to Huber by Schmitt Brothers of New York for an "Antique oak Jacobean bed stead, set of original Jacobean bed hangings, Queen Anne trivets and Sussex iron grate" for the Seiberling estate.23
Fig. 8. As demonstrated by this selection of door handles, Yellin's hardware throughout Stan Hywet Hall was imaginative and picturesque, with Tudor and Elizabethan motifs in keeping with the building's style and bucolic setting. Some pieces, such as the handle at lower left evoke Celtic design.
In mid-February 1916 Schneider was feeling "more and more discouraged about the progress" Yellin was making, deeming it "quite necessary to take another trip to Philadelphia to brace him up."24 Shortly afterwards, Yellin traveled to Akron and told Seiberling that he was "deeply impressed with all the charming details" he saw at Stan Hywet and his "great pleasure" in seeing his own "beautiful work incorporated" in this "extraordinary house."25 He assured Seiberling that "all of the remaining work is now under way." The gates remained the outlying schedule date. As Schneider described to Seiberling on April 24, "The last information about the progress on these gates reached me this morning and is to the effect that he does not believe he can have them in place before June 1st." Seiberling's response to this matter a day later was quite simple: "As to Yellin I have given up on him and am resigned to the view that the gates will come whenever he is ready to furnish them."
Fig. 9. Even the key collection (selections shown here) demonstrates Yellin's creativity and attention to detail. Various traditional European-style embellishments reflect the Tudor and Continental features present throughout the house.
Despite Seiberling's resignation, the architect remained passionate about getting the work completed, writing on May 24 that "Mr. Yellin reports that the gates are nearing completion and will probably be ready for shipment in a week or so." His anticipation turned to excitement after visiting Philadelphia, where he gave "final inspection to the gates" and reported to Seiberling on May 27, "I am very enthusiastic about them; they are going to be very beautiful and Yellin is doing a splendid piece of work." As the hardware was being completed and installed along with work on the gates, the interior of the house continued to be outfitted with the finest furnishings courtesy of Huber and Company. An accounting dated May 1, 1916, and totaling more than $275,000 included American paintings, "Indian" and "Oriental" rugs, English and American furniture, tapestries, lighting fixtures and andirons by Caldwell, Sterling Bronze, and Black and Boyd, painting and decorating services, and much more.26
Fig. 10. The imagery, as illustrated in this collage of period photographs of Yellin's hardware at Stan Hywet, suggests both quaint and regal aspects of English history—castles, soldiers and their accessories, flowers, and leaves and vines.
Yellin's gates were finally installed in late May or early June, and Yellin did not wait long to ask Seiberling about his satisfaction with the work. He suggested in a letter of June 20 that he had exerted himself "in the utmost to obtain the best results possible" and "considered it a great honor to have the opportunity of doing this work," but he was also so bold as to ask "whether it would be possible and convenient for [Seiberling] to speak in [Yellin's] behalf to Mr. S. G. Carkhuff of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company," who was apparently also building a residence in Akron. Truly a study in Yellin's early aptitude and challenges in working with clients and architects, his commission for Stan Hywet stands as magnificent testimony to his creativity and talent.

Ann M. Donnelly '84 sworn in as federal judge for the Eastern District of New York
Ann M. Donnelly '84 was officially sworn in as the 61st judge of the Eastern District of New York during an investiture ceremony at the Roosevelt Courthouse in Brooklyn earlier this month. She was nominated for the position by President Barack Obama on the recommendation of New York Senator Charles Schumer.
Donnelly spent 25 years working for the New York County District Attorney's Office before she became a judge in the New York Court of Claims in 2009. She later served in the Kings County, New York County, and Bronx County Supreme Courts.
"Ann Donnelly met all of my qualifications with flying colors," Schumer told the Brooklyn Daily Eagle of his recommendation for Donnelly's nomination. "When you speak with Judge Donnelly, what's immediately clear is her deep respect and passion for the law. Judge Donnelly is more than a brilliant resume, I know her well and at her core she is a kind, thoughtful and compassionate person."

text: I have designed a certain RF component which is in the form of Copper Traces Artwork. I need to create this artwork at decal level so I can bring it in the layout every time I use it in my schematic. I have done a similar thing at Decal level but it was only required top layer for the artwork I created. This time I need not only to access the top layer but also inner layer 2 to complete this new artwork. My final board stack up is a 4 layer board. I generate this new artwork at Decal level by setting the layer definitions to 4 layers and complete my artwork on 1st and 2nd layer, however every time I leave my library and come back to it, after saving my artwork of course, I only see the layers top and bottom and there is no inner layers (L2 and L3), any idea of why is that?

Mel is looking better than ever!
It's been one heck of a year for Mel B, as the Spice Girl has been locked in an intense 'custody battle' following the fallout of her marriage to Stephen Belafonte.
In the most recent of allegations surrounding Mel's current legal situation, the mother-of-three has been 'ordered to submit to four months of drug and alcohol testing' following her admission of alcohol consumption issues.
Instead, Mel stepped out for the America's Got Talent live semi-finals last night wearing a jaw dropping sequinned yellow gown.
Accessorising with toned-down neutral make-up and her hair styled on one shoulder in an understated side-sweep, Mel made sure all eyes were on her.
Joining fellow judges Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Simon Cowell, Mel appeared in top form.
Like, hello?!
It's great to see Mel looking happy and healthy, after what has undoubtedly been a very trying time in recent months.
Recently, the lovely lady confessed she had been at a 'crisis point' her life – which sadly led her into 'drinking to numb the pain'.
Speaking candidly to The Sun, Mel shared: 'Sometimes it is too hard to cope with all the emotions I feel. But the problem has never been about sex or alcohol – it is underneath all that.'
She added: 'I am fully aware I have been at a crisis point. No-one knows myself better than I do – but I am dealing with it.'
We're so glad to see you back on top form, Mel!

New mothers should not remove or wash off the colostrum from their nipples before breastfeeding their babies, as it is the first and major vaccine a child can ever receive in life, an official of the United Nations Children's Fund, UNICEF has advised.
Ada Ezeogu, a nutrition specialist, gave this advice on Thursday in Ibadan at a media dialogue on breastfeeding organised by the Federal Ministry of Information, in collaboration with UNICEF, as part of activities to mark the World Breastfeeding Week.
The event which was funded by the U.K. Department for International Development, was to train journalists on breastfeeding advocacy in Nigeria.
Mrs. Ezeogu lamented that most new mothers who are not aware of the importance, extracts the colostrum out and wash their nipples before breastfeeding their infants.
She explained that colostrum, as the first milk a pregnant woman's breast produces, is very important to the health and growth of an infant.
"Most mothers are not aware of the importance of colostrum in the growth of their child. Colostrum is a major vaccine to an infant. It does not only protect the infant against allergy and infection, it serves as a purgative which helps to clear meconium. "It also aids the growth of a child, it helps intestine to mature and it reduces severity of infection," she said.
The nutrition specialist noted that one of the greatest barrier to achieving exclusive breastfeeding in Nigeria is water. She said that if water can be taken out of the way, exclusive breastfeeding will record a huge success in the country.
On the importance of exclusive breastfeeding, Mrs. Ezeogu said breastfed children have at least six times greater chances of survival in the early months than non-breastfed children; and the exclusively breastfed child is 14 times less likely to die in the first six months.
She however said that most mothers do not practice exclusive breastfeeding because of lack of knowledge on the essential nutrients of breast milk.
"Most mothers give their infants water because they do not know that breast milk provides all the food and water that a baby needs during the first six months of life. "Even during very hot weather, breast milk will satisfy a baby's thirst," she said.
Exclusive breastfeeding is a method of feeding a child with only breast milk for the first six months of life. No other liquids or solids are given, even water, with the exception of oral rehydration solution, syrups of vitamins, minerals and medicines.
The World Health Organisation and UNICEF recommend that breastfeeding be initiated within one hour of birth, that it should continue with no other foods or liquids for the first six months of life, and that it be continued with complementary feeding (breastfeeding with other age-appropriate foods) until at least 24 months of age.
Mrs. Ezeogu revealed that the current rate of exclusive breastfeeding in Nigeria is 25 per cent, which is very low compared to the World Health Assembly target of increasing the percentage of children under six months of age who are exclusively breastfed to at least 50 percent by 2025.
She, however, noted that if this must be achieved, more pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers must be enlightened on the importance of exclusively breastfeeding their infants.
According to the National Demographic Health Survey 2013, the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding in children below the age of six months is only 17 per cent, which means that at least 5.4 million children each year do not get the benefits of breastfeeding, contributing to 103,742 child deaths each year.
In his remarks at the event, the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, restated that early breastfeeding can make the difference between life and death and urged journalists to join in the campaign to educate women on the importance of exclusive breastfeeding.
"Through your writings, you can influence communities and help them to know that breastfeeding helps in the cognitive development and higher IQs of children. As journalists, you can use the medium at your disposal to increase the knowledge among pregnant women and nursing mothers as this will likely improve their ability to guide against diarrhoea, pneumonia and probably child mortality," he said.
The minister who was represented by the Assistant Director, Child Right Information Bureau, (CRIB), Olumide Osanyinpeju, said there is an urgent need to propagate breastfeeding to Nigerian families.
Earlier this week, health experts had warned that there is a huge economic cost to not exclusively breastfeeding babies for the first six months of their lives.
According to the experts, inadequate breastfeeding costs the Nigerian economy an estimated $ 21 billion per year, or 4. 1 percent of the nation's gross national income.
The experts explained that women lose more financially, directly and indirectly by not exclusively breastfeeding their babies and saving them from malnutrition, diseases and death on the long run.
The World Breastfeeding Week is marked every August 1 to 7 to raise awareness on the benefits of breastfeeding to the child, among others.

Denny's Daily Zinger: 1 Postcard. 7 Basic Rules Broken.
As founders and proprietors of the WHO'S MAILING WHAT! newsletter and massive archive of junk mail, Peggy and I spent years tracking and analyzing winning packages.
Our only object: To show and describe what works—and why—and the basic rules for success.
I now believe the only thing to make creatives see the light is to rub their noses in obvious crap.
So here goes. See the postcard in the media player at right.
The Seven Rules This Postcard Breaks:
- "Avoid the 'hard-to-grasp' headline—the headline that requires thought and is not clear at first glance." —John Caples.
- "The headline selects the reader." —Axel Andersson
- Vapid, cliché-ridden copy e.g.:
From content that explores preservation
through different lenses to live-streaming
events PastForward pushes the frontiers
of preservation.
- "Use serif type in body copy, not sans serif type; it's more readable and will bring a better response." —Craig Huey
- Never set your copy in reverse (white type on a black background) and never set it over a gray or colored tint. The old school of art directors believed that these devices forced people to read the copy; we now know that they make reading physically impossible. —David Ogilvy
- The word "you" is nowhere to be found.
- "Type smaller than 9-point is difficult for most people to read." —David Ogilvy
(Note: The order information is white copy in 8-point sans serif type reversed out of a gray background.)
Denny Hatch's new book is "Write Everything Right!" Basia Christ writes, "I read the book in two days ... I couldn't put it down! It is fun reading filled with resources, anecdotes, and although I have an MBA in Marketing, I learned much more from your book than many of my classes." Click here to download (opens as a PDF) and read the first three chapters FREE. The title is also available on Kindle. Reach Denny at firstname.lastname@example.com.

O2 have delayed their launch of the upcoming Playstation Phone, having discovered bugs within the phone's software.
O2 testing team boss Stuart Hibberd explained in a recent blog post that "our job, as I mentioned in my last blog post, is to make sure these phones are ready for our customers before they go on sale. This means we rigorously test each phone, often for weeks, and try every single feature. We get to know each phone inside and out and, by the time it goes on sale, need to be absolutely certain it'll offer our customers a great experience."
"Sometimes we discover bugs and issues on a phone. This is perfectly normal – bugs can appear in every form of software. When we discover these issues we work with our phone manufacturer partners to fix them and make sure that O2 customers will have the best possible experience when they use their phone."
"This is what has happened with the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play. We've been testing the phone non-stop for weeks and have found some bugs in the software that, if they're not fixed, means customers won't have a great experience. We've been working with Sony Ericsson to get these bugs ironed out, but haven't been able to get them fixed in time for us to be able to launch the phone on April 1st as we originally planned."
"At O2 we're really excited about the Xperia Play – we announced earlier on this year that we'd be selling an exclusive white version. We want to make sure that any issues with the software are resolved before it goes on sale so we'll be working with Sony Ericsson over the next couple of weeks and we'll be blogging regularly to update you."
Orange, T mobile and Vodafone are also set to stock the phone.

Public Talk by NASA scientist Natalie Batalha "A Planet for Goldilocks"
February 5, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm EST
Public Talk: "A Planet for Goldilocks: NASA's Search for Life beyond the Solar System" by Dr. Natalie Batalha
Not too hot, not too cold" reads the prescription for a world that's just right for life as we know it. Finding evidence of life beyond Earth is one of the primary goals of science agencies in the United States and abroad. The goal looms closer as a result of discoveries made by NASA's Kepler Mission. Launched in March 2009, Kepler is exploring the diversity of planets and planetary systems orbiting other stars in the galaxy. Finding inhabited environments is a path of exploration that stretches decades into the future. It begins by determining if Goldilocks planets abound. Dr. Batalha will describe the latest discoveries of NASA's Kepler Mission and the possibilities for finding inhabited environments in the not-so-distant future.
Dr. Natalie Batalha is a world renowned research astronomer in the Space Sciences Division of NASA Ames Research Center and the Kepler Mission Scientist, and working on the transit photometry – which is an emerging technology for finding exoplanets. Dr. Batalha started her career as a stellar spectroscopist studying young, sun-like stars. She holds a doctorate in astrophysics from UC Santa Cruz, and completed a post-doctoral fellowship in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Parking & campus map: Free parking after 6:00 PM in parking lot #6 for this event.

Between the death of Ronald Reagan and Ray Charles, and the season premiere of "Six Feet Under", I thought it might be appropriate, however morose, to outline my final wishes for my ten faithful readers.
By the looks of it, you would have thought Reagan was still alive and had been killed while singlehandledly destroying Al Qaeda with one arm tied behind his back. As a former president who served two full terms and whose face came to symbolize the greatness of America all over the world, he deserved nothing else. But the only lesson that I'd one applied to my own ceremony that Reagan's funeral has taught us, is that the funeral should be a celebration of life. (All of the partisan bigots on both sides who used his passing as an opportunity to spell out their politics deserve to be stuck with the rest of the drunken white trash who argue over the will.) That means, nobody dresses in black unless they're trying to look like a Blues Brother.
Just like Reagan, I want my ceremony to be held at dusk. Not only is the light beautiful and peaceful at that hour, but it also will give everyone a chance to sleep in that day.
On Six Feet Under, Nate Fisher (Peter Krause) secretly follows his deceased wife's wishes and buried her, sans emblaming fluid, out in the middle of nowhere. I'm not quite that earthy, and the amount of Starbucks and McDonalds I imbibe have probably already begun the embalming process, but I don't think a normal burial would be appropriate either.
In short, donate my body to science. Ideally, an all girls medical school. Just in case my soul doesn't leave my body right after I expire...
A headstone would be neat at the Hollywood Forever Cemetary (Jayne Mansfield and her decapitated head aren't buried there either), to be buried alongside the other ghosts of the silver screen.
Finally, please greatly exaggerate the circumstances of my death. Death by heart attack or bus or allergic reaction to bad chinese isn't the stuff legends are made of - so make something up. Something tragic, something cool, something ghost stories are made of. And every year, on the anniversary of my death, please be sure to have a seance or attempt to reach me via Ouija board so, ideally, I can scare the crap out of everyone.
