March musings
It rained hard all day today, with only a few breaks in the downpour. I woke up late due to the time change (Spring forward) and the hour lost, so it was officially 9:45 before the dogs ate breakfast. Crawling back into bed for a lazy Sunday morning read with tea seemed to be the best start to the dreary day. I'm again thankful for the giant skylight I had installed last year with my roof replacement; even on this cloudy, grey day my bedroom is bathed in light. I'm finishing a great book by a woman named Lynn Reardon about the rescue and rehab she created for ex-racehorses in Texas. It's called Beyond the Homestretch and was one of those books at the library that was pulled out for highlighting in their shelf-end "interesting picks." (Librarys ROCK!) It's an enjoyable read, with the highs and lows associated with rescue work of any kind but without preachiness or crusading-speak (a turn off), and damned funny in places too. An ex-accountant, Ms. Reardon is a terrific writer as well as horse rescuer.
I looked at my chore list, deciding what I should do first. Much of it is the ongoing stuff, with a lot of seasonal additions as well. I picked up my (bee)hive boxes yesterday, and stopped off and got a quart of paint for painting them. The paint color is called Shocking Green, and it's sort of a neon green with a hint of chartreuse mixed in. I hope it won't be too garish, sitting out by the garden (I plan to embellish with some stenciled or hand-painted vines and flowers – for my stylin beehive), and even more important, I hope my bees like it. They're due to arrive in mid-April. I ordered four pounds, which is the queen and several thousand of her workers. It was only $10 more for four pounds versus three pounds, and though I know most of the experienced beekeepers say the extra pound of workers doesn't make that much of a difference, I figured the more workers the better, to start with. I mean, they're already handicapped with me as a new beekeeper, so the more advantages I can give them, the better chances they'll have. I'll have to bone up on my YouTube vids of how to transfer them from their traveling cage into their new home. I purchased my bee veil and gloves, too. I got a veil that's part of a half-suit, rather than the full suit (where you look like you're going out to battle haz-mat or infectious disease), with the most important component being the veil itself. A body sting is doable, but a face sting, and especially an eye-sting, could be very bad. I can't remember the last time I was stung by a honeybee, and even my last yellowjacket sting has probably been more than a decade ago. Hopefully my Carniolan bees will do well for me and be easy to work with.
Sheep shearing was last week and though it got done it was a bit of a rodeo. We did Cinnamon first, since she's the wildest, and it set off a chain reaction of panic with all the rest. Thankfully Eifion, an experienced shearer who comes all the way from Wales each year, has done this a time or two, and was able to catch and wrassle each one of them in turn. It was a good lesson though, and I do plan to build at least one stall in the confinement area (right now it's just an open shed) so I can enclose them for this and other reasons, as needed.
After shearing, they all look nekkid and a bit chilly, in Cinnamon's case (for some reason she's the only one I've noticed shivering). She was so glorious with her full fleece, and now she looks gangly and awkward. And little Pebbles is even tinier than I thought. I managed to catch her and pick her up the other day (she was up on the porch chasing the gimpy hen, which she loves to do); she's maybe 50 pounds, 60 pounds max. Of all of them Cinnamon had the nicest fleece – clean and nice and crimpy, rather than the tangled and burr-filled fleece of Pebbles (whose fleece is definitely the softest), or the choppy, broken fleeces of the boys. All three of the boys have been itching for two months and rubbing against everything. Bo and especially Curly were using their horns to dig at itchy spots on their backs, and completely ruined the integrity of the fleece (normally it should roll out as a single unit after it's been sheared off, but theirs is broken and filled with vegetable matter (VM) to boot. I still need to process the fleece before the dampness in the garage ruins them entirely. It's been so miserably wet and chilly recently that I've been reluctant to go out and skirt them, never mind get them washed and ready for further processing. From there, I'll be felting slippers for Christmas presents (tee hee). And working on making sure next year's fleeces are in tip top shape.
My other sheepy news is the hay feeding solution I recently discovered. Ever since they've been in their confinement area (to keep them off the pasture during the winter months, so the pasture has a chance to recover) I've been feeding grass hay. I do let them out to run around on nice weekend days (and it doesn't look like today will be one of them). They look longingly into the pasture, but roam around and browse the grass and vegetation around the house and property with obvious enjoyment. The rest of the time, though, it's hay. I knew I'd be feeding hay, and knew of the price per bale (anywhere from $13 to $22, depending on feed store and the hay shipment itself – where it's from, how heavy the bale, etc.), but had no idea I'd be going through a bale a week. That's more than I spend on dog and cat food each week!
I was feeding them on the ground, as I hadn't found a feeder that fit all my criteria: easy to install, low waste, reduced chance of VM in fleece, and minimal "real estate" used in my small set up. Of course feeding them on the ground meant that roughly one third of each bale was ending up as bedding as they walked through it and dragged it around. I purchased a wall mount hay feeder at the feed store and realized as soon as I got it home that it wasn't going to work (it wasn't cheap, either), so returned it the next week. I had an old hay net feeder I purchased years ago as a prop in a holiday-themed cubicle decoration contest at work (I won), so tried that. The mesh was so large they emptied it overnight, much of it ending up on the ground. I checked Craigslist regularly and scoured the Internet for suitable feeders, coming up with slow feeders for horses (too big and too expensive) and a fellow in Virginia who was no longer making his perfectly designed sheep/goat hay feeder. Then one day on a visit to Craigslist I found an ad placed by Equinets. I contacted the proprietor via the website, explaining my need. She lives close to where I work and we discussed what might work. I picked up a small and a medium net a couple of weeks ago, and installed them the following weekend. It's like a miracle. Within one day I knew I'd found the solution.
Not only is the waste next to zero, it's also provided them with hay 24/7, as is natural, rather than the loud baaing for food every time they saw me or heard the front door open, and the attendant feeding frenzy of me coming out with several flakes of hay three times a day. They are quiet and content, and everybody gets to eat when they want to eat (the girls were sometimes bullied away from the hay when I fed it on the ground, which meant I had to put down multiple piles, which increased the waste ratio). I rarely hear them baaing now (though they are still trying to train me to give them grain on demand) and are often all lying down, quietly chewing cud when I go out there to check on them. I fill the two nets once a day – the smaller one is usually nearly empty, and the larger one still about half full – and right now am still going through hay at about the same rate, but the good thing is it's not as bedding! In fact, I'm considering buying some straw for bedding now, to absorb manure and urine and they still have some cushion after I've cleaned up their waste. Filling them once a day eliminates that chore in the mornings, too, when I'm often already rushed to make it to work. Now I can just replenish the nets in the evening, make sure their water bucket is full, and in the morning just check to make sure they're all content and well before I leave for work.

Seagull flu strain gives rise to epidemic
April 1, 2017
Recently converted to a quarantine center, the library at Irvington overcrowded from students affected by an alarming bird flu outbreak from seagulls, the first time the epidemic has struck this month.
In lieu of the recent bird flu outbreak from Tennessee farms and farms from China, science teachers hypothesized that the epidemic at Irvington was a result of the virus diffused across the ocean air. However, a study conducted by the Fremont Senioritis Center, a legitimate secular internship program for procrastinating seniors, proved the recent avian flu epidemic was actually a result of excessive seagulls flying around campus.
Though cases of students screaming in agony and running away in fear at the sight of seagulls have previously been recorded by campus stalkers, the epidemic reached an unprecedented scale, with increasing numbers of wails, cries, and squawking often heard in the freshman hallway. Students were aware the school had been filled with snakes and rats, but birds took them by surprise.
"Just yesterday, my entire second period refused to run the BUUM," said an anonymous Phys. Ed instructor, "when seagulls started flying over the grass. In fact, some students started obsessively flapping their arms and covering their heads."
Further stalkerish investigation from the Fremont Senioritis Center reveals feeding seagulls during lunch as the main method of disease transmission.
"When provided with artificial food, digestive enzymes within the seagull's body are unable to accept the nutrients," said senior Sally Shore. "So it comes out as bird droppings from the sky and cause people to lose their minds."
Still quarantined in the Irvington library, self-identified patients spend their days typing WIP and QUEST policy papers two minutes prior to the deadline on Turnitin, refusing to leave for fear of possible exposure.
"If I leave for class, I'll have to face the real world," said an anonymous patient. "Especially P.E. Once I see those seagulls, I remember all the NCs I have and start screaming."
Though the administration has proposed possible extermination programs to lessen the effects of the virus, students are adamantly against on-campus seagull removal. With students refusing to leave their quarantined areas for the moment, there looks to be no end to the current bird flu epidemic.

It seems ages since my last post in fact it was 16th March, so was ages ago.
Lots of things have happened since then.
Eric has had his radical removal of the prostate op..... for prostate cancer, we spent 4 days in Braemar Hospital in Hamilton where they looked after him , also me very well, thanks to all the lovely nurses there , especially Anne and Kristy who were Eric's personal ones for his time there.
Now we are home and it is recovery time, pain killers and "wee bags" are the order of the day but we are experts at it now.
The " frustrated nurse " in me has been fulfilled I have to give Eric an injection every morning to stop DVT's forming, he says mine are more gentle and not so painful as the nurses at the Clinic, they also left bruises ... none of mine have bruised.
So I am hiring myself out, injections needed ! just call me.
Our thanks go to Kathryn she stayed with me all the time while waiting during the op.
I must tell you about a lovely conversation Eric had with grandson Ben 51/2 when he visited him in the hospital, Ben he is a little worrier but is fine if he knows what is what... it goes as follows :
Ben " grandad why have you got that bag on your leg full of wee."
Grandad " Because my willy is not working properly"
Ben " Where does that tube go"
Grandad "inside my willy to bring the wee out"
Ben " does it hurt"
Grandad " No"
Ben " That's good then"
from then on Ben was watching bag to see if it needed emptying and when it had some in he wanted to help empty it. Kids are amazingly resilient and accept the truth so easily.
We have to return to see the surgeon in Hamilton next Tuesday for results of histology.

The Way of Escape by Kristen Reed is the story of Clara Robinson; she is not an ordinary human and she never will be. Things are not going well in her life. She discovers that she is part of a community despised by the world at large. When a leader of a vampire clan comes to her and tells her that she is a dhampire, she is given two choices. She can either become a vampire herself or become a slave of the clan. There is no other choice for her and she feels that her life is over. However, there may be an end to her suffering. A visiting vampire tells her that if she becomes a vampire, she can have the other slaves freed, but at what price? Are her humanity and mortality worth it? Or is this a trick? Is it her freedom or the lives of the slaves who can have a chance at a normal life?
First of all, I really want to say thank you to Reed for portraying vampires as they should be. They are hard, gritty, and raw and this is how they should always be portrayed. The characterization was on point, the atmosphere was a perfect fit for the theme of the novel, and I could not have asked for a better written story. Clara was conflicted, as she should have been. The novel had a feeling very similar to the Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost. And since I love that series, I cannot wait to see what Reed does with hers. I loved this book. I hope there is a sequel!

A finely-balanced, hand forged and functional axe for hunting, fishing, camping, bushcraft or survival. The large hunting axe is still small enough to put in your rucksack or on your belt when going out into the forest. The high quality Swedish carbon steel head is 148mm long from edge to back with a 74mm cutting edge, hardened and tempered to 58-59 HRC. The handle is specially selected heartwood of American hickory. This timber is impact-resistant, strong and treated with linseed oil. Both wood and metal wedges secure the handle to the head.
For over 100 years Wetterlings have been making axes.Today 10 blacksmiths proudly continue the tradition of producing world class axes. This means that not one axe is the same as the other and every axe that leaves the factory in Sweden has its own unique character and bears its own distinguishing mark. A hand forged Wetterlings has a hardness of 58-59 degee Rockwell. Each axe is slowly forged, a methodical task that demands time and patience and is entirely dependent upon the skill of the blacksmith. After being hammered for a long period of time the steel becomes extremely strong and can be ground to a high level of sharpness. Wetterlings turn the axe handles using brown heartwood of American hickory. This wood has the impact resistance and strength expected of an axe handle. If you want the world's finest hand made axe in terms of durability and performance buy a Wetterlings.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays of the year. We party hard at my school…. we have pony rides, petting zoo, face painter and balloon twisters. We decorate cookies and pumpkins and partake in a ghoulish sing along. We Trick or Treat throughout the neighborhood gathering hand fulls of candy at each house along the way. The day is filled with laughter and an abundance of sugar induced energy.
I created this fun activity to help my Kindergarten students with Pre-Reading. It is a quiet activity that helps strengthen fine motor skills and demonstrates sentence structure. They have fun while learning basic literacy concepts such as: print is spoken words that are written down, print carries meaning, and we read from left to right, from the top to the bottom of a page, and from the front to the back of a book.
Have Fun!
Happy Halloween!

More data, more power
High-resolution aerial imagery has given us the ability to model reality in a more cost-effective, efficient way. Our patented camera systems have captured 3D data that is viewable and measurable, in over 99,000 mi2 in the U.S. and nearly 23,000 km2in Australia. Real-life visualization is now a reality in mere seconds for planners, engineers, and designers alike.
Previously, 3D imagery was only available as an offline export. The nature of accessing 3D content became a challenge, available only to those with large budgets, skilled technicians, or robust software licensing. With Nearmap 3D, you have an easy, immediate, relatively affordable channel to incorporate 3D into your workflows.
Today's aerial maps have evolved into full-blown analytics platforms, helping transform the way many industries work. Just as technology evolves to give us new ways to see the world around us, aerial imagery is evolving to help solve some pretty big challenges such as 5G implementation. How? By giving us a way to see truth on the ground, as it really exists.
Boston, MA
The power of 3D imagery
If you know anything about the gaming industry, you know that a big draw for its popularity is the ability to immerse yourself into the environment. Creating a virtual reality in which to play in—and now to design in—offers an entirely new way to look at an environment and solve real world problems.
Nearmap's patented camera systems capture each point on the ground several times, generating extraordinarily rich data sets. That data is then fed into our proprietary processing software which produces a comprehensive, up-to-date 3D representation and rich location intelligence. Online access to these images offers users the ability to personalize their export of 3D data for easy integration into the platform of their choice. The variety of file formats available allows for easy visualization for inspecting, measuring, and exporting in the following formats.
What sets Nearmap 3D apart from other imagery providers is you can define down to the foot what type of 3D content you want to export. Draw your area of interest in any polygon shape you wish, down to a specific block or landscape feature—an adaptable solution to help you save time and increase flexibility.
Model reality to solve real-world problems
Having the enhanced ability to visualize a project gives you a chance to imagine a variety of possibilities. When combined with GIS systems such as ESRI, AutoDesk, Bentley, and others, Nearmap's photorealistic 3D location intelligence is transforming how industries work to address challenges large and small. So how can our 3D imagery offer solutions to real problems?
· 5G Telecommunication Planning– the biggest requirement for installing the largest network rollout to date is identifying cell site locations where there is clear Line of Sight (LOS). In order to provide the faster, more reliable service consumers demand, sites need to be closer together and no obstructions between them to disrupt service. In a dense urban environment, the challenges of tall buildings is just the start; planners now have to consider tree branches, mailboxes, street signage, and more. By combining DSM and true ortho imagery, wireless carriers can identify clear areas for LOS.
· Urban Planning & Development – The population growth in large cities continues to rise, providing challenging urban development issues for city planners and engineers. 3D modeling allows designers the ability to represent a city in virtual reality with exact scale. These models are being used for planning, environmental analysis, transportation, risk management, and proposed developments. This technology is paving the road for more sustainable cities. An example would be the building capacity of a particular block: city regulations can be applied, building height controlled, and existing structures computed and visualized.
· Emergency Management – In an emergency, seconds count. 3D aerial maps allow first responders the ability to improve accuracy in decision making. How? Consider the improved response action plans when you have high-resolution modeling to help navigate newly designed roadways, college campuses, refineries, shopping malls, alternate access points, or urban centers. Immersive 3D visualizations allow dispatchers the chance to walk around a property, all remotely.
· Event Management and Public Safety – Outdoor events can be a safety planner's worst nightmare as mass public events involve critical crisis management challenges. Whether it's an outdoor concert venue, professional sporting event, or community fair, public safety officials and event planners need to visualize the landscape. 3D data enables a more robust event planning framework as it can be used to analyze terrain and map existing and constructed structures for an event. 3D aerial imagery is a perfect partner to gauge resource needs and create an event and public safety strategy.

Eyelash extensions are single strands of synthetic lashes that are applied to your own natural lashes. Each synthetic strand is tapered at the tip with a thick base and curled to replicate a natural lash. One lash extension is attached to one natural lash at a time for a total 60 to 100 lash extensions per eye. It usually takes about one to one and a half hours to apply eyelash extensions. Clients easily fall a sleep and then awaken with beautiful thick lashes.
Touch-up (refill) are necessary every two to three weeks, in order to replenish the fallen hair and maintain the look. Just like your scalp hair, natural eyelashes grow and shed in a cycle, about 60 days (eight weeks). When a natural eyelash matures and falls out, a new eyelash has already been growing and quickly replaces the one lost. People she between one to five natural lashes each day, depending on their individual growth cycles.
We have three different lashes: False Strip Lashes, False Lashes Clusters and Individual Lashes.
Strip lashes are great for people who have very sparse or short natural lashes. These are also an essential for those who have no natural lashes. Strip lashes are made up of numerous eyelashes attached together in one pre-made strip. They are placed with temporary glue on the skin above the upper lash line.
Cluster lashes are a group of 5-8 blunt-end lashes knotted together. They can be applied either directly to the skin (between natural lashes) or on top of a grouping of natural lashes. They are more natural in appearance than strips.
To add fullness to your own natural lashes or to fill gaps (bare spots) along the lash line, we recommend individual lashes. Individual are synthetic lashes that are stacked one on top of the other and attached at the base. They can be attached to either the skin, if they are knotted, or the natural lashes.

Emily Deschanel is no stranger to food - after all, when she became vegan over 20 years ago, "No one knew what it was." She enjoys cooking and baking (as does her famous sister, Zooey), but admits she doesn't get a chance to do much while filming her television show, "Bones."
WATCH: Zooey Deschanel On Her Hit Sitcom, New Girl
Deschanel has starred on "Bones" for 12 years and this year stepped behind the camera to direct the season premiere. She tells Rachel, "I loved it [directing]...it was fun to do something different." She says she would love to do more directing.
WATCH: "Bones" Star David Boreanaz
Though Emily and Zooey work on the same lot, Emily says they don't get to see each other as often as they would like because the lots are so huge (Rachael actually got lost on one when she visited as a guest). Though Emily would like to see her sister more, what she really wants to do is squeeze and snuggle her little niece, who mom Zooey often brings on the lot, according to Emily (who does the same with her son).

Watch to see how she feels about working with so many "dead bodies" on a daily basis. Spoiler alert: it oddly doesn't bug her.

Buenos Aires. Chinese President Xi Jinping and the leaders of major developing economies condemned protectionism at a G20 summit in Argentina on Friday overshadowed by U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to escalate tariffs on China.
This year's two-day gathering is a major test for the Group of 20 industrialized nations, whose leaders first met in 2008 to help rescue the global economy from the worst financial crisis in seven decades.
With a rise in nationalist sentiment in many countries, the G20 – which accounts for two-thirds of the world population – faces questions over its ability to deal with trade tensions, which have roiled global markets.
Hanging over the summit in Buenos Aires is the trade dispute between the United States and China, the world's two largest economies, which have imposed tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of each other's imports after Trump launched an effort to correct what he views as China's unfair commercial practices.
Global financial markets will take their lead next week from the outcome of talks between Trump and Xi over dinner on Saturday, aimed at resolving differences that are weighing on global economic growth.
Xi and other leaders from the BRICS group of leading emerging economies – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – issued a statement calling for open international trade and a strengthening of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
"The spirit and rules of the WTO run counter to unilateral and protectionist measures," they said. "We call on all members to oppose such WTO-inconsistent measures, stand by their commitments undertaken in the WTO."
Beijing hopes to persuade Trump to abandon plans to increase tariffs on $200 billion (156.8 billion pounds) of Chinese goods to 25 percent in January, from 10 percent at present.
U.S. stocks closed higher on Friday on hopes that a deal could be reached.
Trump said there had been some positive signs.
"We're working very hard. If we could make a deal that would be good. I think they want to. I think we'd like to. We'll see," he said.
A Chinese foreign ministry official in Buenos Aires said there were signs of increasing consensus ahead of the discussions, although differences remained.

Last time I posted about the iron project, I was lamenting the fact that everyone had a straight-forward pathway of how to turn their foam models into plaster models, while I had no idea how to turn my multifaceted, mixed medium model into something that looked real.
I started modelling the thing in CAD, so I could decide which parts I needed to 3D print and which I could laser-cut into a framework for plaster modelling.
After meeting with my lecturer to discuss solidworks techniques and my plan for building, he assured me that it would be fine if I wanted to 3D print every single part. This was great news for my time/quality sections of the triangle, but it wasn't looking great for cost. I measured my solidworks model and worked out it to be around 800grams in ABS plastic. At $0.15 per gram using the uni's material, it wasn't looking feasible.
The catch with the uni printers is that you only have to pay for material, not time. So when I asked the digital workshop tech whether he thought I should buy a whole reel online and wait for it to ship to me and he just offered me a new reel on the spot, I had to admit that $42 was an exceptionally good deal.
The other great news is that solidworks estimates the weight of solid material. These machines print solid faces, with honeycomb centres, which weigh a whole lot less. I was able to print my whole iron, including rafts, support material, mistakes and reprints using less than my 700 gram reel.
I started printing parts straight away. Since most of them would be overnight jobs anyway, I tried giving them the highest resolution that would fit between 5pm and 9am timeslots.
The quality on this Zortrax M200 machine turned out brilliantly and my plug-in joining system meant I could see what the assembled parts would look like without having to glue them together.
I decided to print some smaller, less complicated parts on the UP Mini that we have constant access to. A couple were fine, but when a 5 hour print came out rubbish, I made a vow to do all my printing on the Zortrax and not waste any more time or material.
While running prints, I was able to sand and paint other prints and also refine my design on parts I hadn't quite settled on yet. I tried lots of versions of the heat controller. None of these made the cut.
In this time I also tested the plastic welding cement I'd been recommended. I was astounded by the strong bond a thin coat of water-thin liquid was able to create.
I also tested the trigger I'd created. I used a spring-bar from my collection of watch parts to insert the trigger as a hinge. I tested it with a rubber-band ball and was ecstatic when I got a metal spring to fit into my pre-determined holes. So ecstatic that I forgot to take a picture of it before glueing the whole thing together. (I'm sure you can imagine the glory).
It was unfortunate that a public holiday was arising. I wouldn't get the opportunity to run multiple prints. Then I realised… I can load a single print full of as many parts at the highest quality possible. I'd have 40 hours to kill, and by gosh I'd make the most of it. I fit on all of the segments of my main component as well as a bunch of smaller pieces.
It did not end well.
I'd mentally prepared myself for something to wrong with the print, but it still made my heart sink when it did. What was meant to be five neat, interlocking pieces turned into a jumbled mess. The printer had shifted off axis twice during the print and then gone completely haywire before finishing.
Fortunately, most of the small pieces survived unharmed, but the main component of my iron would need to be fixed.
I could either try reprinting it, or salvage the parts that I had and reprint the sections that didn't make it. I tried to salvage it first, with the knowledge that I could alway reprint if I had to.
I'd bought Apoxie sculpting putty because my digital workshop tech, who makes plastic toys professionally, advised it. I like taking his advice. It's generally right. This time was no differen't. Despite its significant price and me not knowing how to apply it properly at first, this was the most incredible modelling material I've used. It made fixing my model approachable, even with its 24hr curing time. I recommend it highly.
Meanwhile, my outer components were looking fantastic.
Everything was starting to come together and the sheer number of pieces I had was getting more and more daunting.
I needed multiples of my water tank to demonstrate that the iron came with a set of five that the user would change over like a magazine of ammo. I used cheap plumbing silicone to cast my mould because there was no way I could afford the professional model-making silicone. It came out pretty dodgily, but good enough to show that there were multiples and still having the original 3D print to show what they would actually look like – priorities!
I cast these out of casting plaster so they were really fragile to work with. I'd like to attempt a different material for this process in the future, though I'm not sure what yet. I tried repairing them with Apoxie and Plastibond, but they were both so strong that I'd sand away all the plaster before they would budge. Spack filler was too soft to even join to the plaster. In the end I came up with a mixture of spack filler and concrete bonding glue that took a while to set, but went on easy and dried the right consistency.
The thin arms I printed were really brittle. I tried reprinting them, but it didn't work well. They're a difficult shape. I strengthened them with apoxie and broke all of them, glueing them back together as I went. I really didn't want to have to make these out of metal at short notice. After a full cure of the apoxie, I tested their strength by pulling on either end. They held up. They would do.
I'd printed the ball and socket joint first so that I could make sure that it worked. It was perfect. After painting, it was highly vulnerable to scratching, so I taped it it itself to prevent it from moving around too much.
I laser cut my sole plate. This was the last thing I designed. Because the iron hovers and the heating element only covers the bottom two thirds of the sole plate, I had to come up with ways to make the heat/steam travel. I tried a bunch of versions. Many of the more complex ones ended up looking way too alien-like and one of them was the exact logo for star trek. Straight lines were the best option.
For the handle, I sprayed some rubberised under-coating on the bottom half, so that when I sprayed matte-black paint on the whole thing, the fingers would have a very subtle sense of extra grip at the bottom.
As the due-date grew closer, I was spending a lot of time priming, sanding, painting and waiting. When you don't wait, it takes longer. And that sucks.
With the intention of placing a torch inside the main component which would emit an orange glow, I glued some coloured gels to the inner lens and stuck a reflective aluminium sheet to the inside to amplify the glow.
I procured some lead shot so that I could add some realistic weight to my hollow plastic model.
I was very happy with the final result, overall. There were a few scratches on the paint and I broke one of the arms trying to wrestle it into place, but these were all things I could live with. In hindsight I should have put a little more effort into the sole plate, by chamfering the edge and maybe filleting the inner cuts.
When I finished it, I setup a photo studio and lit it with the sun from the window and a series of white and black objects reflecting and cutting light.
I was impressed with everyones final models.

Preah Sihanouk Provincial Court today charged three Chinese nationals over the unlawful confinement and extortion of a man who owed them money from a gambling debt.
Deputy provincial police chief Brigadier General Kol Phaly identified the accused as Wang Lee Pin, 31; Lu Ming Jian, 32; and Xiao Song, 28.
He said they were all loan sharks operating in the province and employed at a Chinese-owned casino.
They were charged with unlawful confinement and threats accompanied by extortion, he noted.
Brig Gen Phaly said that on Friday afternoon, the three accused were arrested after they confined Yang Jie, 32, a tourist, in one of the casino's guest rooms.
Major Seng Sophath, a provincial police officer, said that on Wednesday night, the victim lost money while gambling at the Fuo Jing casino.
The victim then borrowed $4,000 from the accused and lost that sum as well, he noted.
After losing the money, the victim could not repay his loan so the three accused detained him in the guest room in order to extort money from his relatives, Maj Sophath said.
"After confining the victim, they beat him and ordered him to telephone his family or friends to secure the owed money in exchange for his release," he said.

John Stamos' Fiancee Caitlin McHugh Shows Off Baby Bump While Out on a Hike
Caitlin McHugh is already showing!
John Stamos and his pregnant fiancee were spotted out on a walk with their dogs at TreePeople Park in Studio City, California, on Thursday, with McHugh's burgeoning baby bump on display.
The expecting mother was all smiles dressed in bluish-gray sweatpants with a pink sweatshirt, baseball cap and tennis shoes. Meanwhile, the 54-year-old Full House star wore camouflage shorts, a light blue button-up shirt and a navy baseball hat.
The lovebirds, who got engaged at Disneyland in October, announced they are expecting their first child together earlier this month.
And it seems as if Stamos can't wait to be a father, paying tribute to his late dad and joking about how he always wanted a baby on Instagram. Meanwhile, the couple is already feeling like a family and spent Christmas together with their loved ones.
On Thursday, Stamos shared a silly pic of him with his family in matching red plaid pajamas.
ET caught up with Stamos shortly after his engagement, where he gushed about his "perfect" bride-to-be.
"I'm on cloud nine. I've been waiting for the perfect girl for over a decade and she walked into my life," Stamos said, beaming.

For two years, the Blackball Working Group has been working to come up with a plan set to balance access between surfers, swimmers, body surfers, skimboarders, and boogieboarders. They have reviewed the Blackball policy at the Wedge, between 40th and 44th street, as well as weighed in on creating "hardboard-only" areas of the beach.
Back in April of this year, The Blackball Working Group recommended to reduce the blackball on 40th and 44th streets to 10am to 5pm, starting Memorial Day and ending Labor Day. Currently, this blackball is in effect from May 1 to Oct. 31, and was rumored to be *ahem*– asked for– by the late Judge Gardner, who had a house near the area and loved body surfing.
The working group also said that our Newport Lifeguards should have more control over when blackball is or is not in effect.
Blackball at the Wedge IS EXPECTED to be discussed, but only the distance from the Wedge. They are wanting to decrease the distance from the Wedge to include Cylinders so that surfers and other hardboard sports can enjoy the area even during the blackball on the Wedge itself.
The Study Session will be held Tuesday afternoon at 4pm, at City Hall (100 Civic Center Drive). If you have any opinion on any of these items, this is THE meeting to attend– so spread the word, surfers!

When tiny Taliyah Scott-Kent leaps across the stage she is a glittering, glistening snowflake.
This is not the first performance of the Nutcracker that the 7-year-old Foley Elementary student has danced. However, the sparkling, flowing snowflake costume may in fact, be her favorite.
"It makes me feel so happy. It makes me want to play outside," she said.
For artistic director Madame Rio Cordy, the little girl's excitement on stage is part of the goal at Coastal Ballet, in Foley.
"It is very important to expect my children to be the best they can be," Cordy said. "If they believe it, they can achieve it. This gives them good tools for life.
"The most important thing is, I give them responsibility. Once they have more self-confidence they are willing to try things that might be a stretch," Cordy said.
"Once these children realize they have potential, they're hungry. They want to go forward," she said.
Cordy opened Coastal Ballet in 2008 after a building a professional dancing career that led her to the Royal Academy of Dance in London, The Julliard School in New York, and Miami where she served as both dancer and instructor at the Miami Ballet and the renowned Thomas Armour Youth Ballet. In Alabama she was instructor, Ballet Mistress and event coordinator for the Alabama Ballet.
She has helped train and launch the careers of Baldwin County dancers who have headed to stages in New York, Russia and beyond. She also has helped children who never plan to pursue dancing professionally believe in themselves.
Coastal Ballet is a non-profit organization, meaning much of the staff is volunteers and many of the students **
Cordy works with children who are hearing impaired who dance to the beat they feel rather than the beat they hear. She works with children who suffer heart conditions and need to build up their stamina and heart muscle. She works with stroke victims who use dance to improve their balance. Some of her students have handicaps that can't be seen.
"They have a sense of community here, our studio is very loving," Cordy said. Her legion of volunteers helps to ferry the dancers to community events at retirement homes, churches and the like.
There the students put on semi-professional shows, complete with costume mistress, hair and make-up artists and other professional touches.
Cordy said her instructors also are often licensed in Reiki.
"It teaches people how to communicate with the body in a gentle way," Cordy said. "We want to work in a way they will remember corrections. I get very small and very quiet and I like teachers to do that. We're not an ego driven group. We are a service driven group."
For 10-year-old Drew Townley being part of "The Nutcracker" each holiday season is a chance to be part of other families' traditions.
"It makes me feel really good," she said.

Ultimately misrepresenting the company and what it stood for. As to be known there were a few thousand people that lost their entire savings and retirement money to illegal usage of the investments. The people who were trying to confide in these companies lost out on all of their hard work, and it is worrisome to know who is dealing with an individual's life earnings. One of the topics that have been addressed has been about the Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. It has to do with the confidence of the investors, quality and quantity earnings, and overall control of the investments and the situations that are presented. The trust is vital and critical when having a company and a specific person handling someone's hard work and dedication. It is imperative that we conduct research in order to determine how much we can trust the investors and not have to worry about the money being spent illegally elsewhere and then left with absolutely nothing. There are plenty of legal issues that affect all types of businesses, but one in particular would most likely be accountability. Large investments can either make or break a person that is looking to potentially make a good amount of money for the long haul when their retirement is imminent.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Miami quarterback Jarren Williams impressed in his first start, but it wasn't enough to overcome Florida's 10 sacks as the No. 8 Gators defeated the Hurricanes 24-20 Thursday night in the season opener for both teams.
Williams was 19-of-29 for 214 yards and a touchdown, keeping the Hurricanes in the game until the final seconds.
"I think you can see why we picked him to be our guy," first-year Miami head coach Manny Diaz told reporters after the game.
But the offensive line was overmatched against Florida's front, sending Williams to the turf four times before halftime and another four in the final quarter.
The redshirt freshman completed his first six passes and was a perfect 5-for-5 in his first series, leading the Hurricanes on a 9-play, 56-yard scoring drive that ended with a 36-yard field goal by Bubba Baxa.
But the Gators struck back on their first series, taking a 7-3 lead when quarterback Feleipe Franks connected with Kadarius Toney for a 66-yard touchdown strike.
Miami's defense took advantage of Florida's fumbles on consecutive series in the second quarter, first unveiling the new-look "turnover chain" after Franks fumbled the football at the Miami 9-yard line. Defensive end Scott Patchan secured the loose ball and raced to the Miami sideline to don the Cuban link necklace with the "305" charm.
After the Gators forced Miami to punt, running back Malik Davis fumbled on Florida's next possession and linebacker Shaq Quarterman came up with the ball, setting up Baxa's 42-yard field goal.
With a little more than a minute left, Williams hooked up with running back DeeJay Dallas on a 40-yard pass to Florida's 15-yard line.
After a sack and holding call backed up the Hurricanes, Williams connected with tight end Brevin Jordon on a 25-yard touchdown to take a 13-7 lead before halftime.
Florida tacked on three more points in the third quarter on a 27-yard field goal by Evan McPherson.
A Miami fumble by Jeff Thomas set up an 8-yard touchdown pass from Franks to running back Lamical Perine with 30 seconds to go in the third, giving the Gators a 17-13 lead.
Miami retook the lead in the fourth when Dallas bounced off a pair of Florida defenders and raced 50 yards into the end zone.
Amari Carter and Romeo Finley each picked off Franks in the fourth quarter.
Carter's interception in the middle of the field gave Miami a chance to put the game away, but Baxa missed on a field-goal try from 27 yards out.
Franks found the end zone on a 3-yard run to put the Gators ahead for good with 8:18 remaining.
"I thought our guys played with a lot of courage. I think they played with a lot of effort," Diaz said. "But it doesn't matter because we lost the game. We did not come here to play with courage and effort. We came here to win the game and it's not OK at the University of Miami ever to lose to the University of Florida. Everybody in that locker room feels the pain of that right now."
Williams was sacked four more times after Florida reclaimed the lead, including one that resulted in a turnover on downs.
"Obviously, we have a young offensive line," Diaz said. "They've got an experienced front that we knew would give us some trouble, and then it got into a point where there was going to be a lot of throwing in the second half. You know, that's all part of it. You've got to put yourself in some situations where you've got to expose yourself to their rush."
The Gators were 4-for-4 on fourth-down conversions.
Jordan was Miami's leading receiver with five catches for 88 yards, while Dallas led the team with 95 rushing yards on 12 carries.
Franks finished 17-of-27 for 254 yards with two touchdowns to go with his two interceptions.
Both teams combined for 23 penalties totaling 225 yards.
Florida's victory against Miami was just its second in the last nine meetings dating to 1986. The once-annual rivalry was discontinued after the 1987 season, resulting in a handful of meetings ever since, although both teams are scheduled to meet again for a home-and-home series in 2024 and 2025.

The Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall is one of the most popular sights in Taipei today, a beautiful piece of architecture. So, who is the man it is dedicated to, and what was his role in history?
Taiwan, Republic of China
To understand why Chiang Kai Shek is so important in Taiwan, you must first understand the history of the country. Officially, its name is the Republic of China – different to the People's Republic of China, the one most of us just call 'China'. This is a shortened version of events, as the whole story is, of course, much more complicated!
So, this all goes back to 1911, when 2000 years of imperial rule in China came to an end with the overthrow of the Qing dynasty. On 1st January 1912, the Republic of China was established, led by Sun Yat-Sen and the Nationalist Kuomintang (KMT) party. The ROC struggled in the early years, against warlordism throughout the region, but regained power by 1927. This involved using a military-led, authoritarian regime – not ideal, although they claimed their ultimate goal was democracy? However, during this time, the Communist party began to rise. Combined with corruption in the Nationalist government, and the interference of the US after WWII, this led to the Chinese Civil War. The Communist party took Beijing in 1949, and founded the People's Republic of China on 1st October the same year.
The Nationalists fled to Taiwan, which then became the last remaining pocket of the ROC, with Taipei declared as the temporary capital. Both the PRC and ROC still claim to be the legitimate Chinese government, each saying the other is part of their territory. Both continue to exist, agreeing to "no unification, no independence, and no use of force". In 1971, the ROC lost its United Nations seat to the PRC, meaning most of the world recognises the PRC as the 'legitimate' government of China. Taiwan is only able to have diplomatic relations with a small number of countries, but maintains informal relations with many others.
Who was Chiang Kai Shek?
Chiang Kai Shek was a politician and close ally of Sun Yat-Sen, the leader of the KMT, who helped establish the ROC. After Sun's death in 1925, Chiang Kai Shek became the next leader of the KMT, and its army. They had been driven south by the warlords, but Chiang led the Northern Expedition, the military campaign to reclaim China. This was ultimately successful, and the ROC became the legitimate government. Chiang became the Generalissimo of the National Government in 1928, and led the country for the next two decades – so you can start to see why he was pretty important. However it wasn't all smooth sailing. He could not maintain good relations with the Communist party, as Sun had done, resulting in the Civil War – more on his actions there in a minute!
In 1949, he fled to Taiwan with the rest of the Nationalist refugees, and declared himself President of the Republic of China. He represented China in the UN – at least, until the removal of the ROC in 1971. The General Assembly re-elected him multiple times, as Taiwan was a one-party state at the time, and no other political parties could form. Throughout his rule, he always wanted the reunification of China, with the ROC restored as the legitimate government. Chiang Kai Shek ruled the ROC for 26 years, until his death in 1975.
Building the Memorial Hall
After Chiang Kai Shek's death, the ROC government decided to construct a memorial to him. They hosted an international competition to design it, which was won by Yang Cho Cheng, a local Taiwanese architect. Yang designed not only the memorial itself, but the entire plaza where it is situated, and it's definitely an impressive piece of work! He placed three entrance gates around the square; the main Gate of Integrity to the west, of Loyalty to the north, and of Piety to the south. From the main gate, the Boulevard of Homage, lined with bushes, leads to the hall itself.
For the design of the hall, Yang found inspiration in the Sun Yat-Sen mausoleum in Nanjing, China – that same guy that formed the ROC! Construction began on 31st October 1976, which would have been Chiang's 90th birthday. It took three and a half years to complete the project, opening for the public on 5th April 1980, the fifth anniversary of Chiang's death. The government also decided to create a cultural arts centre on the same site, resulting in the National Theatre and Concert Hall, on either side of the boulevard. Yang designed their exteriors in the same traditional Chinese style as the Memorial Hall.
Subject of Controversy
Now, the KMT clearly viewed Chiang Kai Shek as a hero, to build him such a memorial. But to many others, he wasn't such a great guy. When reclaiming China from the warlords, he used aggressive tactics, and essentially led a dictatorship. He defended his methods, saying that this was a necessary first step before democracy could be established. But little evidence of that ever surfaced during his lifetime! Then, he tried to purge the Chinese Communist Party, using military troops to kill thousands in the 1926 Canton Coup, and 1927 Shanghai Massacre. Millions more died of starvation across the country, due to decisions he made. And then this all ultimately led to the Chinese Civil War. His regime continued after the Nationalists fled to Taiwan, where he ruled it as a one-party state, suppressing his critics. This period of authoritarianism became known as the "White Terror".
Only years after his death, in the 1990s, did political reform finally start to happen in Taiwan. Other parties could form at last, and in 1996, they held the first direct presidential election. The government could discuss political status for the country other than reunification, to attempt to solve the issue. Taiwanese culture also resurfaced, previously smothered by pan-Chinese identity. In 2000, the Democratic Progressive Party became the first to take power from the KMT. In 2007, they decided to rename the Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall as the National Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall. However, this caused outcry amongst the KMT, of course, who restored the original name of the Hall when they were re-elected to power in 2008.
A Continued Site of Significance
Since the Memorial Plaza opened, it has been the site of many mass gatherings. In particular, during the 1980s and 90s, pro-democracy rallies took place here. The Wild Lily student movement in 1990 was the most influential. For six days, over 22,000 demonstrators, both students and others, held a sit-in at the square. This happened at the same time as the inauguration of President Lee Teng Hui, the last Taiwanese president elected by the National Assembly. Luckily, he listened to the public, and their protests, and went on to implement many political reforms to bring democracy to the country. For the next presidential election, in 1996, the public could directly vote for their leader! Today, Taiwan is very forward-thinking in this respect – it was even the first Asian country to legalise gay marriage!
These events led the DPP government to rename the Memorial Plaza as 'Liberty Square' in 2007, at the same time as renaming the Hall. While the Hall's name was reverted by the next KMT government, they chose to keep 'Liberty Square', in recognition of the country's democratic process. In 2017, the Ministry of Culture announced plans to transform the Memorial into a national centre for 'facing history'. This will attempt to recognise both the good and bad, emphasising human rights, and reducing the 'personality cult' surrounding Chiang. He was undoubtedly an important figure in the history of Taiwan and the ROC. Yet also, definitely a controversial one, something the country is now having to face up to.
Your Visit
Liberty Square
Your visit to the Chiang Kai Shek Memorial will likely start at the main entrance on the west side. You can look down the long boulevard to the Hall itself, passing through Liberty Square to get there. Look for that name inscribed above the gate, in Chinese calligraphy script! This is the Gate of Integrity, a blue and white structure with five huge arches. The Boulevard of Homage, or Democracy Boulevard, as it is also known, is lined with perfectly manicured lawns and bushes.
To the right is the National Theatre, and to the left, the Concert Hall. Both of these are traditional Chinese buildings, with sloping roofs and ornamental columns. On either side of the Hall, you will find the other entrance arches, Dazhong (Loyalty) Gate on the left and Daxiao (Piety) Gate on the right. Continuing behind the Memorial Hall, you can visit the gardens there – the whole complex covers 62 hectares. Admire its traditional Chinese style, with waterfalls, ponds, and ornamental bridges.
The Memorial Hall
At the far end of the Boulevard, you will reach the Memorial Hall itself, completing the symmetrical design of the whole park. Like the rest of the structures, Yang designed it in the traditional Chinese style. The building is 76m high, and shaped like an octagon, with eight sides. This is a very lucky number to the Chinese, associated with fortune and wealth. To reach the entrance, you walk up 89 stairs, representing Chiang's age when he died. The building is made from white marble, with a blue tiled roof and red accents, the same three colours as the ROC flag. The colours represent the Three Principles of the People, as taught by Sun Yat-Sen; blue for democracy, white for nationalism, and red for people's livelihood.
Inside the main hall, you will see the great bronze statue of Chiang Kai Shek himself. Soldiers guard the hall, and change shifts in a ceremony every hour. On the wall behind the statue are the Chinese characters for ethics, democracy, and science, the three political principles Chiang stood for. Below the main hall, there is a museum about Taiwan's history, pan-Chinese civilisation, and the progress of the ROC since moving to Taiwan. And of course, you can learn about Chiang's own life and career. This exhibition includes artefacts such as military medals, uniforms, photos, and authentic documents. You can even see the bulletproof Presidential cars he rode in! Despite the controversy surrounding him, the building is a beautiful memorial, and an informative way to learn about the history of the ROC and Taiwan.

Our online Political Management student Victor Reyes had his capstone project profiled in Crain's Chicago Business Friday:
"Winning the Latino vote may well be the key to Mayor Rahm Emanuel's re-election, but he'll have change some things to actually reel in such support, starting with forming a "personal relationship" with Latino voters.
That's the advice for Chicago's CEO as he prepares to announce for a third term, and comes not in the form of a confidential memo from a high-priced outside consultant but a master's thesis written by Victor Reyes, who served as political consiglieri and chief lobbyist to Mayor Richard M. Daley during his tenure. Among his former duties was heading the Daley-allied Hispanic Democratic Organization.
'To win re-election in 2019, Emanuel must establish a supportive coalition that includes a large number of Latinos,' writes Reyes, who's now a lobbyist here and in Springfield but is getting a master's degree in political management from George Washington University in Washington, D.C."

Teaching Soldiers from the Bayne-Jones Army Community Hospital BJACH and Delta Troop 1-509th the Pose Method of Running and the ACFT.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – "If you can't pass the Army Combat Fitness Test, then there's probably not a spot for you in the Army," said Secretary of the Army Mark T. Esper.
On July 9, the U.S. Army announced a new physical fitness test—the Army Combat Fitness Test, or ACFT. The test is designed to replace the APFT with a gender- and age-neutral assessment that will more closely align with the physical demands Soldiers will face in combat. Field tests for the ACFT will begin in October 2018, and by October 2020, all Regular Army, Army National Guard, and U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers will be required to take the test.
"That doesn't mean you'll immediately get kicked out," he added. It means there will be some sort of remedial program, the details of which are still being worked out.
Esper addressed a range of issues during a Defense Writers Group breakfast Aug. 29.
The current Army Physical Fitness Test, which has been around some 40 years, is flawed, Esper said.
"I grew up in the Army with the APFT and I personally never thought it was a good indicator of combat physical fitness, nor did many of my colleagues. The testing has proved that out," he said.
The secretary said studies done by U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command show that the APFT captures "maybe 30 or 40 percent relevance of what you demand in combat … the ACFT is upwards of 80 percent."
Combat ready, physically fit soldiers
The main purpose of the ACFT is twofold, he said. First, the test ensures soldiers are ready for combat. Second, preparation for the test improves physical fitness as it relates to injury prevention.
Esper said losing soldiers to injuries during physical training or field exercises contributes to decreased readiness, because injured soldiers can't deploy.
At one point, upwards of 15 percent of soldiers were categorized as nondeployable, he said. That's about 150,000 soldiers across the entire force. Now, that figure has been reduced to 9 percent, and there are vigorous efforts underway to lower that percentage still more.
"If you're not physically fit for combat, then we're not only doing you an injustice, we're doing an injustice to your colleagues and peers as well," Esper said, explaining that if a soldier can't deploy, that means someone else has to deploy twice as much.
"At the end of the day, we need soldiers who are deployable, lethal and ready," he emphasized.
Beginning October 2020, all soldiers will be required to take the ACFT, which TRADOC fitness researchers term "gender- and age-neutral."

"Good test," huffed Aiton, who will soon turn 50. "I'm smoked."
Army leaders are touting the test, which is gender- and age-neutral, as a generational change in how soldiers approach physical fitness.
Instead of situps, pushups and a 2-mile run — the standard yardstick since 1980 — the Army Combat Fitness Test includes exercises to improve how soldiers perform on the battlefield.
For example, dragging that 90-pound sled isn't just good exercise that builds muscle. It can simulate pulling a comrade to safety.
All soldiers will be required to take the test by October 2020. Field-testing is set to begin this fall, initially with 40,000 soldiers.
Senior leaders are already sweating it out, but in a productive way.
On Wednesday around 6:30 a.m., two-star generals, colonels and command sergeants major clad in workout gear gathered on a field at Fort Eustis. They're under the Army's Training and Doctrine Command, headquartered at Eustis, and were already here for a commander's forum.
TRADOC operates schools around the country. So if TRADOC is considered the Army's university, these men and women represented its senior faculty.
At the top of the organization is Gen. Stephen Townsend, TRADOC commander, who wasn't wearing his four stars Wednesday. Looking fit in a T-shirt and shorts, he was ready to take the test along with his subordinates. He'd already taken it once.
"I think it's far superior to what I've been doing for the past 36 years," he said. "The day I took it, I knew this is exactly what the Army needs."
"That's why the military — just like you — is thinking about how to get healthier in the new year and beyond.
These base makeovers are setting the scene for the launch of Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F), a larger initiative that strives to radically change how the Army prepares service members. The proposal includes the introduction of a new field manual for training, plus the creation of Soldier Performance Readiness Centers (SPRC, pronounced "spark"), which will be state-of-the-art fitness facilities staffed by experts who can educate and offer real-time feedback on proper form, psychological well-being, nutrition and more.
An SPRC is not exactly a gym, says Maj. Gen. Malcolm Frost, who commands the Center for Initial Military Training at Virginia's Fort Eustis, which is behind H2F. He compares it to the way the Army cares for equipment. "What we don't have is a range to improve yourself," he explains.
A better understanding of human performance is part of the impetus behind H2F, Frost says. But the initiative is also a reaction to the current American population, which is not nearly as fit as in previous generations. Frost says it's a challenge to fight when tens of thousands of soldiers — or, as he calls them, "our primary weapons system" — are non-deployable because of weight problems and injuries.
Folks signing up to serve were once in peak condition, Frost says. "I like to say that 15 to 30 years ago, recruits were better prepared. We were analogous to marinated steaks," he explains. "Throw us on the grill and we were ready to be soldiers.
"I don't really understand why anyone would run any other way, " said Staff Sgt. Aaron Cheateaux, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 8th Military Police Brigade.
Blake, who is also a physical therapist, is responsible for the physical training and rehabilitation plans for Soldiers who are injured in Basic Combat Training. He said most of the injuries he treats are the result of improper running.

Acquired Audiobook By: I started to listen to audiobooks in [2016] as a way to offset my readings of print books whilst noting there was a rumour about how audiobooks could help curb chronic migraines as you are switching up how your reading rather than allowing only one format to be your bookish choice. As I found colouring and knitting agreeable companions to listening to audiobooks, I have embarked on a new chapter of my reading life where I spend time outside of print editions of the stories I love reading and exchange them for audio versions. Through hosting for the Audiobookworm I've expanded my knowledge of authors who are producing audio versions of their stories whilst finding podcasters who are sharing their bookish lives through pods (ie. AudioShelf and Talking Audiobooks; see my sidebar). Meanwhile, I am also curating my own wanderings in audio via my local library who uses Overdrive for their digital audiobook catalogue whilst making purchase requests for audio CDs. It is a wonderful new journey and one I enjoy sharing – I am hoping to expand the percentage of how many audios I listen to per year starting in 2018.
I received a complimentary audiobook copy of "Sherlock Holmes in a Reflection of Evil" via Audiobookworm Promotions who is working directly with the author William Todd in exchange for an honest review. I did not receive compensation for my opinions or thoughts shared herein.
Why I was keenly interested in listening to this story about Holmes:
As I was listening to the sampler of "A Reflection of Evil", I noticed strong influences out of the canon itself and thus, was quite intrigued to listen to the whole story – seeing how Mr Todd interwove his story next to the ones we all know of being 'Holmes'. Therefore, when I set to mind which topic I wanted to ask the author for the tour, I chose to focus on how he made the transition into voicing Holmes and giving us an authentic re-entry therein.
-quoted from the guest feature I hosted ahead of this review
This is what is most crucial for me when selecting after canon writers to read or listen to via audiobooks – of finding the writers who truly love the original stories and characters to the brink they enjoy bringing them back to life with their own unique insight into who they are as their stories continue forward. I was not disappointed by what I found inside the novella!
Sherlock Holmes in a Reflection in Evil
by William Todd
Source: Audiobook via Audiobookworm Promotions
Narrator: Ben Werling
After months of inactivity, Holmes and Watson have two cases thrust in their lap in a single day. First, a mysterious woman from Swansea, Wales, seeks Holmes' help finding her husband who has disappeared in the middle of the night. As soon as she leaves, Holmes receives word that there has been a prison riot with several dead and a few inmates missing. Lestrade is asking for his services.
Holmes believes the two cases are not a coincidence, but he has no idea who is behind it and to what end. They go to Swansea in what could be either a wild goose chase or a setup. Will Holmes unravel the mystery before they get to Swansea? If not what will be in store for them when they step off the train?
