We knew it had to happen sometime. Our sunglasses and sandals have been packed away for another season, rendered useless by the incessant rain and darkness that's now bookending our commutes. Expressions are glum, sniffles are rife and we're all moaning about the lampposts of Leeds that have suddenly been straddled by the silhouettes of looming festivity; impatiently waiting to be illuminated so that everyone can be under no allusion: winter is coming.
Yes, we're all mourning the demise of our unnervingly glorious summer, but the advent of winter serves up solace in its most irresistible form – British comfort food. As we don our cosy jumpers and hibernate until March, picnics and barbecues are replaced with heaving plates of piping hot, consoling roast dinners, thick soups and wickedly indulgent puddings. It's the comfort food that our little island is famous for, and there's no better place to enjoy it than in one of the many quintessentially British establishments strewn across every village, town and city throughout the UK. As long as there's a roaring fire thrown in. There's got to be a roaring fire.
You're probably thinking of your local pub now, right? Maybe you're even in your local pub, pint in hand and left cheek burning by that obligatory roaring fire. Now there's a thought… British comfort food is practically synonymous with our great local pubs, but they're not the only place to seek refuge and fantastic comforting grub this Winter. Even after nine Leeds winters, it seems I still haven't uncovered everything our city has to offer, as I discovered this week when Leeds-List invited me* to enjoy an evening at Sam's Chop House in the City Centre.
'Chop House? Are we off out for chops tonight?' said my OH, his eyes lighting up with a rare maniacal hunger as he contemplated the prospect that I was actually advocating somewhere meaty for a change. And although meat is celebrated throughout the menu at Sam's Chop House, its name actually refers to a centuries-old tradition that the restaurant seeks to uphold. According to its website, 'the Chop House' used to be a men's only establishment where businessmen gathered to hatch deals over traditionally cooked meats, fine wines and good ales. Thankfully the sexist traditions of its roots have not been upheld, but Sam's Chop House remains dedicated to championing fantastic local produce, washed down with a wine list that's consistently showered with awards that have included Leeds' best wine list. Why had I not been before?
Sam's Chop House is one of four restaurants owned by the independently run Victorian Chop House Company, with the other three in Manchester. And although the Leeds restaurant may not be able to claim the heritage of its 1872-established Manchester counterpart, it has wonderfully conjured a sense of the bygone era it is aiming to depict. Housed in a building built for Pearl Assurance Ltd in 1911, its façade is a spectacular relic adorned with baroque turrets, marble pillars and even the odd gargoyle.
A striking edifice in an area of Leeds where exquisite architecture is common-place, the Restaurant's exterior successfully creates an inviting grandeur that demands investigation. Its peripheral majesty is emulated beautifully inside, with mahogany-swathed panelling, glinting chandeliers and beautiful old fireplaces. (They weren't roaring when we visited, but the potential was there.) Original tiling decorates the floors, its walls are festooned with grainy black and white pictures of the Leeds pubs of yesterday, and tall, arched windows overlook the beguiling architecture of Bonham's over t'road that tricks you into believing that you have been transported back to the era of the original Chop House. If you ignore the cars. And the fact that no girls were allowed back then…
Simply put, first impressions of Sam's Chop House were a pleasant surprise indeed. Its simultaneously cosy and grand, striking that fine balance that welcomes without intimidation or pretension.
Aesthetics aside, we were here to eat, so what did the menu tell us about Sam's Chop House? It's very fashionable to flaunt affinities with local produce these days, and the emblazonment of 'The YORKSHIRE GREAT BRITISH MENU' across the top of the menu left us under no allusion of Sam's Chop House's raison d'être. But as overt as this was, they need not have bothered. Just one glimpse of the menu was enough to perfectly make this point without shouty capitals or patriotic illustrations of billowing flags. Thoughtful incarnations of our well-loved British comfort-food classics made an appearance, with their origins geographically pinpointed where possible to highlight that they were serious about local produce. Even better, vegetarians were considered too, with several thought-provoking and enticing options per course. This is where many traditional British pubs let me down, so Sam's Chop House was looking good.
Enjoying that rare feeling of being torn between several appealing veggie options, I deliberated before eventually deciding on the Goat's Cheese Rarebit. Posh cheese on toast it may be, but I adore rarebit and the unusual use of goats' cheese combined with the vessel of pikelet intrigued me. What is a pikelet? Well, it arrived and I *may* have emitted a little squeal. To you and me, a pikelet is a crumpet. A massive, home-made, squidgy, sumptuous crumpet. As with all good crumpets, its pocked surface provided perfect inlets for its mellifluent topping to seep through and gather in glorious, seductive pools. The goat's cheese was creamy, but lacked that sharp tang that you'd normally expect. This tang was delivered in the form of the sleek caramelised red onions beneath the goat's cheese and the balsamic glaze that the pikelet rested on. Surrounding the rarebit were soft, punchy chunks of beetroot, which combined with the rarebit to produce a mouthful of winter magic.
Intrigue was also the driving force behind the selection of my main course: Vegetarian Black Pudding. 'Vegetarian' is the antithesis of everything Black Pudding stands for. Its connotations are enough to make any serious vegetarian shudder, so why on earth would anyone try and create a vegetarian black pudding and tout this as a good thing? Enticed by this audacity, I took the risk and when it arrived, its appearance suggested my risk may have backfired. It looked like, well, a black pudding. And other things that I won't mention. But actually, the taste was a contradictory surprise. A dense concoction of pearl barley, rusk, rolled oats, vegetable suet and barley flour, it had a very distinctive flavour unlike anything I've ever tasted before. But it was good. Really good. Perhaps the addition of blood-red beetroot took its realism a little too far, though. Accompanying the black pudding was 'Bubble and Squeak', interpreted as a potato cake and a satisfying mound of cabbage blanketed in a herb and butter sauce. Although everything was a little under-seasoned, it felt like proper winter comfort food, and I devoured the lot.
Pleasing the carnivorous end of the table, the Ham Hock Scotch Egg was highly commended. Evidently home-made, the chefs succeeded in that unenviable task of producing a well-cooked egg with an oozy yolk that streamed from the centre like molten gold. Surrounding the egg was a mixture of ham hock and minced pork shoulder from Helmsley, coated in crispy breadcrumbs that lacked the grease that can often cling to mass-produced scotch eggs, which this was definitely not. High praise was also bestowed upon the 8oz Rump Steak for the quality of the cut as well as the perfect translation of the request for medium-rare.
As winter intensifies its grip over the coming months, have a look beyond your local for a dose of great British comfort food. You may have to put on an extra layer for the trip, but it will be worth it when you taste the spoils that Sam's Chop House has to offer. The fire might even be on when you get there.
*FYI – I received a free meal in exchange for writing a review, but all views are my own (and my OH's in relation to the meat!)!

(AllHipHop News) RIP to the greatest Pink Trap House to ever exist.
The masterpiece was created one year ago for 2 Chainz' project, Pretty Girls Like Trap Music.
Located at 1530 Howell Mill Road in Midtown in Atlanta, the home was leased and stamped with the word "TRAP" in big black letters across the front.
The album climbed the charts, hit #2 on the Billboard Top 200, and more and more fans flocked to the property and surrounding vicinity.
Unfortunately, all good things come to an end.
The house will soon be torn down, leaving photos to serve as the only memories of its reign.
"My plan eventually is to tear it down. I'm not leasing it out long term," Matt Rohrig of Cartel Properties stated.

Cash still top dog but contactless on the rise
The number of cash payments in the UK decreased by 11% between 2015 and 2016, although notes and coins still rule the roost, according to UK Finance.
Consumers and businesses made 15.4 billion cash payments in 2016 – down from 17.2 billion in 2015 (a decrease of 11%). Yet notes and coins were still used 25% more often than the second most frequently-used method; debit cards (11.6 billion). During 2016, cash represented 44% of all payments made by consumers – the second year in a row where consumers used cash for fewer than 50% of all payments. During the same period, cash payments reached £240 billion, accounting for 15% of the total value of consumer spending, a decline of 5% compared to the previous year. This represented 3% of all spending in the UK, excluding CHAPS, (once payments by businesses were taken into account). 26% of consumer cash payments were for a value of £1 or less, and 61% were for a value of £5 or less.
The average value of a cash payment has increased over the last 10 years from £11.58 in 2006 to £15.80 in 2016 – owing to inflation and changing consumer preferences, as cards are increasingly used to make low-value payments. There were 2.9 million consumers who rarely used cash in 2016, representing 6% of the UK's adult population. Younger consumers are more likely to be infrequent users, with more than one in ten of those aged 25-34 making one cash payment each month or no cash payment at all. At the opposite end of the scale, there were 2.7 million consumers (5% of the adult population) who relied almost entirely on physical money to make their day-to-day payments during 2016.
Over the next decade the number of cash payments is forecast to fall by 43% to 8.7 billion payments with the total value predicted to fall by 23% to £185 billion in 2026. Adrian Buckle, Chief Economist at UK Finance, says: "It is clear that over the past few years we have witnessed a significant shift away from cash use in this country with contactless cards undoubtedly causing a decrease in the use of notes and coins. However we don't believe that the UK is on the verge of becoming cashless, as some reports have claimed. People will always want to choose the payment methods that best suit them and, for the foreseeable future, in lots of cases that will continue to be cash."

BERWYN – The Berwyn-based nonprofit organization For the Love of Lee hosted a fundraiser July 21 for Autumn Hamilton, the 16-year-old Glenbard East High School student who was severely injured in a bonfire accident April 28 at a home in Glendale Heights.
The Autumn Summerfest benefit concert featured a DJ, raffle, split the pot and several bands at St. Leonard Catholic Church in Berwyn.
All of the proceeds benefited For the Love of Lee, which will donate the funds to Hamilton's family.
Hamilton sustained second- and third-degree burns to almost half of her body, including her torso and face, in the accident that also injured 11 others. She was the most seriously injured and had been on life support in a medically induced coma at Loyola Medicine's Burn Center for nearly two months, but she is now conscious and continues to make progress on her long road to recovery, according to her CaringBridge web page.
Hamilton and her family are now at a Shriners hospital in Galveston, Texas, for rehabilitation, and they are expected to be there for about 90 days, according to the page.


text: I am having the time of my life playing with the distress markers. I saw a card in a magazine that gave me the idea for this card. I am entering it into both Simon Says Monday challenge - we love stamps and Simon Says Wednesday challenge - have a heart. There are tiny hearts on the critters ears. And I think I will put it in the Simon Says Work out. I might be pushing it with all three but the distress markers are new and FUN!

Integrate and consolidate your threat intelligence
Businesses may subscribe to a host of threat intelligence feeds, but are they making the most of that data, asks Rene Bosman, manager at Infoblox Africa.
Ineffective threat intelligence management leads to poor incident response and can even slow remediation. Rene Bosman, manager at Infoblox Africa, says: "Security teams rely on threat intelligence as part of a greater cyber security strategy. The problem is that all too often, these streams of intelligence are disjointed and siloed."
Threat intelligence is evidence-based knowledge about an existing or emerging cyber threat and can guide decisions on how to respond to that threat. Threats can come from internal or external sources, examples of which are malicious IP addresses, host names, domain names and URLs.
There is enormous pressure on organisations to manage cyber threats and pre-empt potential attacks and the accompanying data loss. Bosman explains: "There's a lot of threat intelligence out there about potential threats or hazards to your cyber security stance. In the past couple of months, it's become very apparent that almost all businesses have several sources of threat intelligence coming into the company, with no effective way to manage and consolidate all of these feeds."
Businesses acquire their threat intelligence through feeds in either a direct or indirect way. Direct sources include purchasing the feed directly from a threat intelligence source that provides this type of data to help companies keep their security systems up to date against all sorts of cyber attacks. Indirect sources of threat intelligence information are when a company purchases a security solution (such as a firewall or endpoint security) that comes standard with threat intelligence feeds included as part of the package.
As a result, companies find themselves with dozens of threat intelligence feeds that need to be effectively managed and integrated so the various security solutions deployed to defend the business can learn from one another.
Bosman says: "One area of weakness that we're still identifying is around the DNS. Businesses really need to deploy a consolidation platform that provides comprehensive, network-wide visibility into their security state. They need to be able to consolidate a number of threat intelligence feeds from various third parties and share that across multiple platforms. We see DNS as the number one threat attack vector for malware today; around 91% of all malware is using DNS to carry out its campaigns."
Not only will this enrich other systems' data around attacks, it can also enrich other security solutions (like firewalls, access control, etc). Another benefit is that all of the threat intelligence data can be exported to a security information and event management solution to provide an overview of all of the threat intelligence that comes into the company, enabling it to respond as quickly as possible to potential threats.
"It's critical that businesses examine their threat intelligence feeds to determine whether some of the feeds overlap, as they can achieve cost savings by identifying and eliminating duplicated feeds. It'll also improve operational efficiency by reducing the amount of threat intelligence data that potentially has to be sifted through."
Bosman says enterprises are starting to realise there are gaps in their threat intelligence, particularly around the DNS, and especially when it comes to data exfiltration types of attack. He says: "Earlier this year, one of South Africa's leading financial services providers lost a large amount of client data in an attack that was the perfect example of where the DNS was possibly an unaddressed item in that company's security stance.
"It's critical that companies start to look into malware- and DNS-based attacks because they're still extremely under-protected on that front. We recommend that all businesses do a security assessment on their DNS to identify possible malware that is doing data exfiltration and, even today, infiltration."
He says he expects to see more localised and industry-specific threat intelligence feeds coming through over the next three to four years. "Currently, companies subscribe to a one-size-fits-all threat intelligence feed, but I think we're going to see region- and sector-specific feeds that are relevant to cyber attacks targeting certain industries or geographical territories. So, for example, the financial services sector in Africa would have its own threat intelligence feeds, which will help users to further remediate cyber attacks a lot faster."
Finally, we leave you with some telling statistics from the Ponemon Institute's 2017 Third Annual Study on Exchange Cyber Threat Intelligence:
* 66% of survey respondents felt threat intelligence was not timely;
* 41% of survey respondents felt threat intelligence was too complex to ensure ease/speed of use; and
* 37% of respondents lacked context for threat intelligence to make it actionable.

No. He really can't.
Ugh, he's on my fantasy team. I should have never picked him up.
We need Flores back ASAP
His postgame comments the last week or two seems to indicate as much, in addition to his actual bullpen usage.
Prove me right, Escape Artiste!
Trevor Hoffman just blew another save against the Pirates. Damn, kind of sad to watch.
Trust me. He can. Despite his meltdown... Bruney is not a terrible pitcher. He does what he does... strikeouts tons of guys, walks lots of guys.
w00t! Luis Atilano ending on a high note.Burnett, Clippard, Capps?
Desmond talks to Guzman too much.

Skits: Hilarious
12 men & women, representing countries from around the world, are sent to explore the moon. They discover that its surface is hot and acidic and that the inhabitants -Who speak a language only the Chinese can read- don't care for us Earthlings. The moonies steal our cats and freeze America, but our selflessness and courage impresses them - and despite the French, everyone lives happily ever after.
Folks who started off watching MST during the Sci-Fi era, will notice a familiar smell when they view this one. First: Those "tough guy" names heard during "Space Mutiny" were first tested here; as our Captain is rechristened... Bronc Drywall, Chuck Hardflab, Stump Hugelarge, Chunk Pylon, among others. They'll also notice similarities to "Phantom Planet". Same producer, same meteor shower, same uniforms, same Francis X Bushman, Anthony Dexter and Richard Weber (you know, the "Brightest and the Best" guy).
And like those, "12 to the Moon" receives some first rate riffing: My favorite scene was when the astronauts activate their invisible face plates. After a chorus of jeers from M&TB, Crow adds... "Now I'm activating my wings and I'll fly" And as a cat lover, I got a big kick out of the quips involving the 2 feline passengers.
The short isn't their best, but it has its moments. It features a masked man and a dancing lady gadding about at an auto show and it provided the inspiration for a series of entertaining host segments. With Bridget Jones visiting as Nuveena, woman of the future.
Host Segments
Intro: Mike attends Gypsy's tea party. Segment 1: Frank roasts Forrester and it's Tennis time aboard the SOL. Segment 2: Nuveena, woman of the future visits and sings. Segment 3: The gangs all packed to leave but the bots are concerned about Nuveena. Segment 4: Nuveena uses the bots like appliances so Mike asks her to leave. End: Letters and Nuveena pops into Deep 13. Stinger: German sez, "Ahhh, ridiculous"

MILWAUKEE (Reuters) - A man, who spent 13 years in prison before DNA tests exonerated him of the murder of a teenage runaway, will receive $6.5 million from Milwaukee under an agreement approved on Tuesday unanimously by city lawmakers.
Chaunte Ott, 41, was wrongly accused of killing 16-year-old Jessica Payne in Milwaukee in 1995, authorities said, adding they now believe Payne was the victim of a serial killer who died in prison.
"We're appreciative that the case reached a fair resolution and that Mr. Ott can move on with his life," Ott's attorney Jon Loevy said.
Ott was convicted in 1996 of first-degree homicide and sentenced to life in prison after two men testified they were with him when he raped Payne and slashed her throat after trying to rob her, court documents showed.
In 2002, DNA tests requested by the Wisconsin Innocence Project showed that Ott did not rape Payne, according to court documents.
Ott was freed from prison in 2009 after the state dropped its case against him and an appeals court ordered a new trial, according to court records. He sued the city the same year, contending that Milwaukee police detectives had framed him.
Authorities believe Payne was murdered by convicted serial killer Walter Ellis. DNA linked Ellis to Payne's death, but he was never tried for killing her. Ellis, who died in 2013, was serving life in prison for strangling seven women in Milwaukee.

Sure, your website is going to be the primary touchpoint between you and your customer. But its design and development is only half the work done. What is the other half? Employing digital marketing methods to push it to the top of search engine result pages and get it the attention and preference that it deserved. The awesome news is that it is the year 2018 and there is an abundance in digital marketing methods that can cater to your needs. We ae here to help you and give our top recommendations on how you can do that.
According to Summon Digital, a powerful digital marketing strategy will direct you to set objectives and define key performance indicators upon which you can benchmark success. It will allow you to differentiate yourself in the virtual realm and make your own mark. It gives you real time insight into your customer segment and lets you tailor your marketing messages as per their relevance and interest. It is the most economical out of all marketing mediums and relatively simpler to implement as there are countless tools that are self-explanatory. Let's take a look, shall we?
Search Engine Optimization
The dynamics of search engine optimization increases the volume of traffic directed to your website. To stay in touch with the latest search engine optimization methods, subscribe to blogs and other authentic, reliable sources. Utilizing benchmarked search engine optimization tactics, your website will rank well on search engine result pages. Test different keywords that are relevant to your target audience and monitor your competition's trending keywords as well. Do your homework and keep changing them up with time in order to ensure efficacy.
Website Design
We highly recommend that you go for a minimalistic, clutter-free aesthetic appearance for your business website. People today have a low attention span as an infinite number of brands compete for their attention. A clear cut design, compelling images and effective page navigation will encourage visitors to spend more time on your site. The more time they spend, the more likely such a prospective user will turn into a conversion. If you have the budget, hire a website designer to create that perfect website for you. However, good website designers with experience do tend to be expensive and cost money. There is a cheaper alternative: design your own website using online tools or recruit a freelancer who will do it for virtually a lot less. Sites such as Upwork and Fiverr all tend to offer good options. Get your logo designed, content written for your website (SEO-friendly preferably!) or your entire website designed.
Pay Per Click (PPC)
In order to improve your online marketing performance after you have launched your website, you may want to consider investing in paid advertising models. After all, inbound marketing will only let you rank to a certain extend. To go beyond that, you will need Pay Per Click marketing methods. To begin with, you will need an effectual roadmap and plan to help you get started. Your goal should be to optimize your pay per click efforts, so your budget can be maximized. The keywords you select will hold the secret to your success here. Tools such as keyword planners can help you identify which keywords are pertinent to your customer base and what they type in when conducting queries on search engines. The AdWords Keyword Planner is one such instrument that you can utilize. Try to go for a healthy mix of keywords with a high and low competition degree and search volume. Social media ads can also help you increase your pay per click results.
Content Marketing
Writing content that is keyword-intensive, engaging and informative will definitely bring in website traffic. Your audience will not only grow through paid searches but organically as well. Content marketing is about creating awareness and educating your target audience. It is not a sales method. The aim is to create a visitor base that tunes into your website regularly for content and relies upon it as well for informative purposes. This will help you establish yourself as a market leader and win your customer's trust as well.
Social Media
The power of social media is not to be underestimated. It is essential that your brand have a presence on major social platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. It allows you to customise your brand for your target market and to interact with them directly. Create a two-way channel path of communication between you and your customer. Not only will it translate to long term brand loyalty but get you a deeper insight into your customer base as well. Clearly state the nature of your business, your opening hours, your map location and add your website link as well.
There are a myriad of social media marketing strategies you can adopt: but remember it depends on your overall business and marketing objectives. Kick off your journey on social media by re-sharing content generated by others from authentic sources. Remember that it should be relevant to your enterprise as well as capture the interest of your audience. Or go an extra mile and be adventurous: create your own content. Once you have decided your content methodology, do answer any queries or questions posted. If you get a bad review, don't ignore it- answer it and use it as a way to improve your operations. Getting a two way conversation flow will help you win your target market's trust – a dream value sought and chased after all marketers. Subscribe to groups that your ideal customer is part off and follow what topics are trending or generating the most momentum in terms of interest and engagement. Offer advice and recommendations on such forums. Direct sales pitches are considered as total turn offs by customers nowadays. Be brief and honest in your communication. Share information by linking to other sites, not just your own. After you have developed a strong social footprint, you may want to think about investing in social media automation tools to streamline your social media operations.

GPC 2015 platform background paper
The need for sustainability, energy efficiency, and secure energy supplies is changing the way we think about and do business. The shift to a sustainable economy and increasing demand for environmentally friendly products and services creates new opportunities to build on our strengths and develop a wide array of new businesses and jobs. Small businesses and sole proprietorships in Canada represent 70% of private sector employment. The Green Party supports a much larger focus on nurturing small business as an important way to strengthen a dynamic sustainable economy.
Whatever the economic sector, from manufacturing goods to delivering services, Canada needs economic diversification. We also need a national energy strategy and energy policies that serve both Canada's economic prosperity and the planet's goal of carbon neutrality by the end of the century, encouraging the development of cleaner energy sources, and rationalizing Canada's fragmented electricity market. For a secure future, we need to think like a country, diversify our energy portfolio and maximize value added to production in Canada. Our solutions lie in renewable energy, clean technologies and energy productivity.
The need for sustainability, energy efficiency, and secure energy supplies is changing the way we think about and do business. The shift to a sustainable economy and increasing demand for environmentally friendly products and services create new opportunities to build on our strengths and develop a wide array of innovative businesses and jobs.
Promoting a robust economy requires a healthy environment to be sustainable. The two goals are complementary, not in conflict. We must stop referring to the economy, energy and the environment as separate issues. They are intricately interrelated. Within the federal government, the Minister of Finance must be on a par with the Minister of the Environment, and they must always be jointly mandated to work in close collaboration with their counterparts with any portfolios involving the environment and sustainable living, notably those with Industry, Natural Resources, Energy, Forests, Fisheries, and Navigable Waters.
Small businesses and sole proprietorships in Canada represent 70% of private sector employment. The Green Party supports a much larger focus on nurturing small business as an important way to strengthen a dynamic sustainable economy. This means doing more than implementing a significant reduction of the small business corporate tax rate to 9% by 2019. The Green Party recommends establishing a mandatory review of all federal legislation to consider the potential impact on small business of any proposal in a bill or regulation that is designated by the Ministry of Industry. This initiative was put forward in May 2015 as a private member's bill entitled The Creation of Small Business Impact Assessment Act.
Such a review and sensitivity on the part of the federal government are essential. Small business must have easy access to information, expertise and resources to comply with the increasing volume of environmental and related legislation introduced both here in Canada and by government authorities in our export markets. The federal government is best positioned to provide mechanisms to help small businesses implement sound environmental management and therefore fully exploit the opportunities for increased efficiency, competitiveness and innovation.
The clean technology sector is a particular growth area for Canada's economy and requires much more attention from the Minister of Industry. Employment in the clean technology sector now exceeds that of the aerospace and automobile manufacturing sectors. Clean technology comprises ten disparate areas and is certainly not confined to the production of renewable energy. These areas include bio-refinery products; power generation; energy infrastructure (smart grids); energy efficiency and green buildings; industrial processes and products; extractive processes and products; transportation; recycling, recovery and remediation; water and wastewater; and agriculture.
The potential expansion of the clean tech sector is very promising. Key regions in Canada are planning the creation of green transportation and energy infrastructure corridors: there will be a massive reinvestment in public transit, pedestrian, cycle and car-sharing infrastructure. The international market for clean tech goods and services is also expanding rapidly and Canadian firms have to get better at increasing their market share. In fact, Canada's global share of the clean tech goods and services market has actually been declining since 2008.
Countries like Germany, Mexico, China and South Korea provide their respective clean tech sectors with considerable support. Canada's clean tech exports are on a par with those of mining, wood, livestock and processed food. Among other things, the federal government should consider ways to help qualified clean technology companies with critical access to both debt and equity financing. In this connection, it is interesting to note that a lot of investment in Canada's clean-tech expansion comes from outside Canada. Of the top five investors since 2009, only Manulife Financial Corporation is Canadian. Two were Japanese, and two were German.
There is an urgent need for substantial government support for basic unbiased scientific research, independent of industry, the kind that drives the leading edge of technological change in the clean-tech and other high-technology sectors. We need to facilitate increased access to early-stage financing for Canadian entrepreneurs to help good ideas and technology get off the drawing board and the lab bench and into the market, where they can help grow our sustainable economy and create employment. We must examine all the existing programs addressing the links between research and commercialization, and propose a more robust and coherent role for the federal government in facilitating access to financing, for both the seed stage and for capacity building, especially to support small green business start-ups. (The 2006 Expert Panel on Commercialization put forward many useful suggestions for these kinds of initiatives, such as recommending a business-led Commercialization Partnership Board be the lead advisory body to the Minister of Industry.)
Tourism is another growth sector but one that has been abandoned by the current Conservative government. In addition to dramatically cutting the budget of the Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC) to half of what it was in 2001, the current government removed the GST/HST rebate on purchases by foreign visitors and eliminated all funding for tourism promotion in the U.S., at least until conveniently it was time for another election. Under significant pressure from the Green Party, the Conservative Minister responsible for Tourism recently announced a small "reinvestment" in the CTC for promotion in the U.S. and further added that he would be asking each province to ante up $1.25 for every $1 Ottawa contributed. This measure is too little too late.
The Green Party believes the federal government must take more action to boost the tourism sector which currently represents about 2% of Canada's overall GDP and directly employs 594,500 people. The U.S. remains by far the largest source of visitors, but the growth in the number of visitors from the U.K., China and Latin America is much faster and posted significant increases in March 2015 compared to March 2014. The most rapidly developing sector of global tourism is ecotourism, something in which Canada can excel. We need a separate Department of Tourism to coordinate all aspects of tourism more effectively. In this era of consumer-driven tourism and Trivago man performing critical content aggregator roles, the CTC must change its focus. It must establish itself as "knowledge-central" for all things related to tourism in Canada, and play the role as "part-advisor, part-investor, part-steward, and support consumers and industry partners through an advisory role in research, education and experience-building."
Saving energy and getting off fossil fuels
A pragmatic approach to sustainable economic development would put at least as much emphasis on saving energy as on producing it. As Amory Lovins pointed out decades ago, "a barrel of oil saved is just as valuable as a barrel of oil discovered." Efforts to increase energy conservation and efficiency cannot be centralized. Already a growing number of energetic and innovative local entrepreneurs across Canada are pursuing the development and use of alternative energy sources. The federal government should help such endeavours by providing a clearinghouse to allow the vital sharing of information and skills; by funding mechanisms to expand our sustainable development technology infrastructure, such as Sustainable Development Technology Canada; and by assisting with adequate financing for start-up investments that broaden the pool of investors and lower the cost of capital. (It is an unfortunate but accurate fact that our private sector lags behind terribly in research and development of all kinds compared with our G7 counterparts.) The federal government should also set energy efficiency standards that will drive the necessary innovation that is definitely within our technological grasp.
We need to focus on obtaining more mobility, lighting, heating, and cooling from less energy and with less waste, especially as the world population rises by 2 billion to reach 9.6 billion by mid-century. The assumption still prevails that we have to consume more in order to grow, but the planet is telling us otherwise. We must reduce consumption and enhance efficiency. Direct incentives could be useful, for example, to encourage industry to invest in pollution abatement measures and to motivate consumers to reuse, recycle, and relinquish energy-wasting and polluting machines such as old cars, outboard motors, and lawnmowers.[1] Life-cycle producer responsibility creates more profits and less waste.
Communities – whether cities, towns, or villages – should be seen as the major focus of smart energy usage and of significant efforts to achieve greater efficiency and increased conservation. Our cities use at least 50% of all energy in Canada; they must develop integrated energy systems involving on-site renewable energy, district energy, and combined heat and power. Other steps to urban sustainability would include massive investments in expanding public transit, rebuilding municipal infrastructure, and finally moving forward on developing high-speed rail links. Better regional and municipal planning is essential so that investments in energy and transportation infrastructure are consistent with curbing GHG emissions.
Canada urgently needs to reduce the energy wasted through inefficient infrastructure. We need a massive energy retrofit plan that employs skilled trades across the country. Among other things, the Green Party supports a Home Energy Retrofit program with the goal of cutting building emissions 80% by 2040, and retrofitting 100% of all Canadian buildings to a high-level of energy efficiency by 2030. We must stop wasting money and energy, heating the outdoors in winter and cooling it in summer. Insulation, green roofs, LED lighting, high efficiency furnaces, and geo-thermal energy – all can make Canada more productive and less polluting.
The Green Party approach to Canadian energy policies is clear: reduce energy development that results in fossil fuel expansion and the acceleration of climate change, and expand energy development that allows us to lower GHG's and mitigate climate change. The Green Party favours a climate change strategy and policies that rapidly reduce CO2 emissions from our energy supply and our energy exports, including the implementation of a revenue-neutral Carbon Fee and Dividend [A serious climate change agenda]. Our goal is to maintain oil sands production at the current level of approximately 2 million barrels of bitumen a day, and eventually to transition off oil altogether; we strongly oppose the existing plan to triple production for export to 6 million barrels per day.
The Green Party is also firmly against the expanded use of pipelines, rail cars, and tanker traffic for the purpose of getting raw bitumen (dilbit) from the oil sands to export markets. The Green Party supports developing refinery capacity in Alberta with "refineries of tomorrow" that will produce some low carbon liquid fuels (biofuel-gasoline blends like E85, E50), electricity and hydrogen, through carbon capture and storage. Building pipelines to transport refined product is very different from using pipelines to move dilbit. Unlike a dilbit spill, the spill of a refined product creates only short-term damage since the product volatizes very quickly. Pipelines to move refined product are maintained as cleaner and safer means for transporting low carbon liquid fuels.
The Green Party supports phasing out distorting tax subsidies to oil companies and other producers of energy. All producers must factor in the environmental cost of resource extraction from the start. Another promising approach is the concept of cradle-to-grave sustainability. This is an approach to managing and protecting Canada's resources to ensure that regulations and legislation oversee the life, completion, and legacy of resource development and projects. By mandating that companies finance legacy projects up front (such as land reclamation after a lead-zinc mine or smelter operation winds up), Ottawa can enhance its role, in collaboration with industry, as a responsible steward of our land, seas and skies for future generations of Canadians.
Worthy of note is the growing movement towards expanding cradle-to-cradle design for industrial and consumer products that generates zero waste: when you wear out your pair of rubber boots, you return them to be melted down to make new ones. This is part of changing to a circular economy from our destructive linear economic system where we extract resources, make products, and then throw them away, generating waste and pollution at every stage: see David Boyd's The Optimistic Environmentalist.
Just when we need constructive national leadership on sustainability and energy, scientific evidence has less currency than ever in Ottawa. The federal cabinet has given itself new arbitrary powers to overturn any future National Energy Board (NEB) ruling that blocks a resource development on environmental grounds. The government seems determined to focus on only one element of the broader picture: dilbit pipelines. (Dilbit is the 70-30 combination of diluents and bitumen – essentially naphtha with cancer-causing benzene and butane – that allows the heavy bitumen to flow through pipelines. Bizarrely, Enbridge plans to import the dangerous diluents from overseas and send them by twinned pipelines from Kitimat to Alberta to be mixed with bitumen and then sent back into the pipelines for export.) The Conservatives simply decreed that moving dilbit from northern Alberta through the Keystone pipeline to the U.S., through the Enbridge Northern Gateway or Kinder Morgan Transmountain pipeline expansion to Asian tankers, or through the Energy East pipeline to the east coast, to be vital to the nation's future. In the meantime, environmentalists who raise concerns are characterized as enemies of the public interest.
To be blunt, the NEB has essentially become a pipeline approval agency. We used to have independent environmental reviews, but not any longer. With no national policy guidance on either the environmental impacts of resource extraction or in terms of long-term energy goals, the NEB hearings have become a farce. This must change.
We can expect that the NEB will be unable to focus effectively on very real project-specific concerns: the likelihood of spills and what steps must be taken to reduce that potential harm, for example, as well as the concerns of the many First Nations whose lands would be crossed by Enbridge's Northern Gateway pipeline. Indigenous Canadians may not have a veto, but the legal obligations of adequate "consultation, accommodation, [and] compensation" (upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada), may well, in the end, make construction uneconomical for the pipeline companies.
With the public debate about energy so focused on bitumen, we overlook the serious problems in our electricity systems. Canada has an inefficient and highly politicized electricity business. We need an enhanced east-west electrical grid so that energy produced in Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, British Columbia and northern Manitoba, where hydroelectric sources are plentiful, can supply other areas of the country. For example, there is a valuable opportunity for Ontario, shifting away from dirty coal-fired electrical generation, to purchase more hydro power from Quebec while subsidizing production of wind and solar power. Through reciprocal agreement, Quebec could purchase surplus wind and solar energy from Ontario. Similarly, Alberta would benefit from greater collaboration with British Columbia.
We also need to find alternatives to the extremely costly production of nuclear power. It is far more economical to integrate renewable energy sources such as wind power into a larger, more diversified energy grid, as Denmark has done so successfully. In the wake of the tragic Fukushima meltdown, Japan is now looking at geothermal energy to provide heat and hot water to local communities, as well as wind, solar, and tidal energy. The country is plotting a path to a more sustainable electrical grid based on local, diverse and renewable sources of energy.
The federal government cannot continue to muddle along without sound policies or strategies on sustainable economic development. This is not good enough. Time is running out. We do not have to choose between pursuing economic prosperity and ensuring the preservation of our planet's health. With coherent national leadership, we can and must do both wisely.
[1] Note that in 2013 BC Hydro had a 10-year plan to allocate $1.6 billion for incentives under the Power Smart program. BC also had the LiveSmart incentive program that ended in 2014. More than 100,000 British Columbians benefitted from the LiveSmart program which saved them 15-28% on their energy bills, which in turned helped reduce carbon emissions, lowering the demand on the electrical grid and saving approximately 4,460 gigawatts. This is estimated to be enough electricity to power 425,000 homes since 2008. www.livesmart.bc.ca provided 14,205 person years of employment from 2008-2014.

After concept (What is this image about? What do I want to say? Why am I moved by this?),
composition (or 'design') is the most important thing on the list of 7
(concept, compo, drawing, values (tones), edges, brushwork, color)(not all relevant to photog).
There are some basic rules (eg don't center the subject, pay attention to the corners of the image space, beware of cutting things off at the wrong point, etc. (listed in most books about compostion). – that should become pretty much second nature),
and the idea of dividing the picture space into thirds and siting important things on one of those intersections, etc. (again, listed in most books on composition – I should think most photography manuals have a good section on this/composition in general).
BUT, the real big things are:
1) to have interesting shapes arranged in an interesting way (and most usually avoid repetition/repetitive elements unless you're SURE you want them)
and, ABOVE ALL,
2) consider the light/dark pattern (in Japanese the 'NOTAN').
Painting and photography are above all studies of light… …and there are no 'rules' – they are only the struts on the launch ramp! guidelines maybe?
This, in fact, means that the important aspect of a representational image is the abstract aspect – all images are abstract art!!!

Karain Cave:
At a distance of 31 km. north-west of Antalya is the location of the Karain Cave. At the foot of the Katran Mountain range, on the border of Yağci Village, the limestone formations part to reveal a natural cave which served as a habitat for the Palaeolithic, Neolithic and Chalcolithic people in ancient times and was also used as a temple to the mountain goddess. The Greek inscriptions on the outer surface and embedded in rocks testify to this. Digs have been continuing there since 1946. These have revealed the remains of a settlement over 50,000 years old. It is the largest cave in Turkey to have been inhabited. Some of the findings are on display in the little Karain Museum and others in the pre-history section of the Antalya Museum.
Karataş - Semahöyük Cave:
Situated in Alanya, this cave is also full of stalactites and stalagmites. Due to a humidity of 90% within the cave, it is said to be effective in the treatment of the respiratory system.
Damlataş Cave:
The Zeytintaşı cave is situated at the southern slope of Zeytintaşı Hill within the borders of Akbaş Village and the town of Serik. It has an altitude of 220 m.
The cave is 14 m bellow the ground and has two levels. The upper level is 136m including the side galleries and the lower one is 97 m long. The cave has many stalactites, stalagmites columns and dripstones. It is unique with its macaroni type stalactites of 0.03 m. in width and 0.70 m. in length.
It is discovered by a. Coincidence in 1997 while excavating for a stone quarry through a man made gallery of 10 m, hot and cold drinks and food are served as well.
It has a natural beauty and an untouched environment. It is quite convenient for tracking climbing and safari and safari tours as well as photo-safari tours for the wild animals.
The location of the cave and its environs has a typical Mediterranean climate, thus all types of Mediterranean plants grow here. The air and nature of place gives you the feeling of tranquillity and serenity.
The cave was formed on clear fault line covered by ancient Sura-Kretase limestone and is surrounded by impermeable elements both at the bottom and on the sides....
The cave is named after the Zeytintaşı Hill where it is located.
The cave is 54 km to Antalya, 16 km to Serik, 10 km to Aspendos and 28 km to Belek Tourism Centre (The Mediterranean).Altınbeşik Cave and National Park This cave was first explored and named by Dr. Temuçin Aygen, the founder of the Speleologist Association of Turkey. This cave is one of the biggest caves of Turkey and has an international reputation. By carrying out tests with coloured water it has been proved that the river in the cave is connected to Lake Beyşehir and also to the Manavgat River. The National Park is accessible via the Antalya-İbradı road, 7 km after İbradı, from Ürünlü. It takes about a one-hour walk to the entrance of the cave. The entrance has a deep lake extending for about 200 m. It is only possible to visit the cave with a local guide as it is still an active system. The surrounding area of the Manavgat Valley is of great natural beauty, and some of the villages are impressive examples of the almost forgotten local architecture. Accommodation is available in Akseki, Aydınkent and Ürünlü. http://www.ibradi.gov.tr/ (Turkish, photos of the cave) Dim Cave This cave has been surveyed and documented by a Cave Research Group of the Turkish Institute for Research and Development of Minerals and Metals (MTA) between 1986 and 1989. It is located about 145 km from Antalya and 13 km from Alanya, 215 m above sea level. The cave has beautiful formations of stalactites, columns and curtains. The Dim Cave is a natural and karstic cave. It was formed by the carbonic acid rich rain and snow waters running through the faults and joints dissolving the limestone rocks. From Alanya the road to Kestel follows the green Dim Creek Valley, charming restaurants beside the river invite for a relaxing lunch. http://www.dimcave.com.tr/english/index_eng.htm http://www.mad.org.tr/ (Turkish / Cave Exploring Association) http://www.i-s-c-a.com/ (International Show Caves Association) WATERFALLS
All streams in the region find their way to the Mediterranean and flow down the slopes of the Taurus, sometimes above and sometimes underground until they reach their destination in the shape of spectacular waterfalls. There are more than 20 waterfalls in the region. The most beautiful of these are the Düden Falls (15 km north of Antalya), the Kurşunlu Falls (18 km from Antalya, on the Antalya-Alanya highway) and the Manavgat Falls (3km north of Manavgat).

This year started with a a terrible person getting into the White House, and from there, life threw some personal struggles at me and Jen.
During these tough times, Jen will ask me, "It's going to get better right? It won't always be like this?" I always say yes. Below are a few pictures from this year alone that show life is easy sometimes. And soon we'll be back to things being a bit easier.
Getting a cabin where we can snuggle by a fire (and go for a nice hike)
Finishing Georgia on the AT!
Being honored with an award for the amazing work you do
Swimming. The days by the pool were nice.
Cute doggies
Biking ALL the miles!
Being silly.
Competing in an IRONMAN!
by natatkinson
Our little Kia Soul 2013 made it to 100,000 miles, in only 3.5 years. So that 10 year/100,000 mile warranty expired pretty quickly!
Being a #onecarfamily, this little vehicle has been our little workhorse, hauling over 2,000 lbs in some instances. It's safe to say we will run this car into the ground.
It's brought us joy, new puppies, drive-in movies, gardening, family, adventure, travel and new houses.
We planted 2 apple trees and 2 peach trees. Last year and the Indianapolis farmers market, we had some Gold Rush Apples and they blew our mind. Well, mostly Jen's mind cause she loves apples. So we decided to plant a Gold Rush tree right in our yard!
The trees came and we got to work! Althought they had to soak for 4 hours, so we actually ended up planting them at 9pm....
And a few days later they've already got some life!
Our little plants are ready to get outside! They are getting big and looking healthy. Rube did eat some of our onions though! Other than that, these guys are ready to get in the ground. EEE! Exciting!
Plus our Cilantro came back from last year!
I started running my freshman year of high school. I had never run before, but I still remember that first 4 mile run and how amazing I felt. That started a 9 year stretch of my life where running was my everything. It dictated my eating schedule, travel schedule, my friends and my outlook on life.
Then I had a foot surgery in the fall of 2007, and my running never was the same. I tried for years to make it the same, but my body just wouldn't be the same. I had always thought "sure I'll run a few marathons, no big deal," and thought running would always be a part of my life. But a few years after the surgery I stopped running.
Then in January 2014, my co-worker Dustin decided he was going to run a marathon. So I talked to Jen and she told me to do it and this was my chance to run a marathon. Dustin had picked out the Hal Higdon Novice 2 Training Plan, which worked really well for me. It kept us around 30 miles a week (if I do much more than that, my back and foot doesn't like it).
We made it through a tough winter of training - with some nasty days of -20 wind chill. More days than I remember we'd finish with a beardsicle (frozen beard). In the middle of the training I had a slight calf strain, but took a few days off and made it back for our 20 miler.
The race went great, it was too hot (high of 80 on race day).
First 10 miles were great (first 5 of them into the sun, was really hot). We passed the 4 hour pass group at about 5 mile. Saw Chap at the park at about 10 mile and saw Carmen and Vetter. Vetter had no idea I was running.
Then I started getting some nipple chaffing and felt l was getting a blister on my left foot.
At the 13 mile mark the race pack got really sparse, down to about 25% of what is was since the half-marathoners split off. Saw Jen at Mile 11 ish, then my parents at 15 and 17. Then Jen at 18 and Rooster started running with us a few minutes after that. Glad he joined us, he did good at keeping together with Whitey and keeping us at a good pace. Feeling good until mile 22.5, then I started hurting a bit. Whitey was really hurting, and we made the tough decision to split up. Didn't want to leave him because I never would have made it through the training without him. But he wanted me to break 4 hours.
But me and Rooster left him and really picked up the pace. Rooster left me just before mile 25. When I got to 25 I knew I could finish. Had some real bad calf cramps starting then though. They started off pretty rare, then by mile 26 my calf was almost constantly cramping. Almost had to start walking, but I was able to finish! My final time was 3:55:49.
Great to have family there and felt very accomplished. It was tougher than I thought it would. A hot day to race though. We took advantage of just about every hydration/GU stop.
I could have never completed a marathon without my training partner Dustin and my partner Jen. Jen always encouraged me and made time for my training. And she was there on race day as a full suporter!
She also had me do some Marathon Selfies, because she's hip
And not only was Jen there, but my parents and brother came too. I'm very loved!
And then to celebrate Jen brought in Jerry's pizza, cake and chips & salsa to work on Monday! It was partially a celebration, and partially to thank my co-workers for putting up with all the training.
I completed my first season as a Girls on The Run (GOTR) Coach. Being a boy and a coach for GOTR is pretty rare. I was the only one out of about 115 coaches at the East Central Illinois branch of GOTR.
Our goal is to make an impact on the girls' lives, let them know that bullying and gossiping are bad for everyone, and that you can't always listen to the messages the media is sending you. It's some tough messages to for 3rd-5th graders to grasp sometimes, but they've surprised me. They pick up more than you think.
The season ended with an awesome 5k run. Letting the girls know that if they can finish at 5k, they can do anything. Here is a good article about the event and GOTR.
I wouldn't have become a coach if it weren't for Jen. She was my role model for coaching and is still the best coach I've seen. She manages to give her full energy at every lesson and is always silly for the girls (as you can see, she is wearing a chicken costume at the 5k). Even though she's silly, she fully understands the message we are trying to send the girls, and the ways GOTR should empower them.
Jen is changing the world ... and after my first season as coach, I've feel that I have actually made a difference. I've seen the girls at my site grow and become more confident. It was totally worth it.
Life's been a lot of to-do lists and getting stuff done recently - and it seems like there just hasn't been enough time for fun. So we took a weekend and went to one of our favorite destinations: Bloomington, IN. Jen had friends and family attend Indiana University - so she used to frequent the city. Now we go there to visit friends that are still there, to eat good food, walk around a nice town, and go hiking. So we started our trip with smiles and kisses to set the mood! Our first stops were at Mother Bear's Pizza (get their house salad with ranch!) followed by the Baked! - the best cookies you can get. Then we hit up the opening day of the Bloomington Farmers Market, which was loaded with lots of salad greens, flowers, locally raised good meat, and baked goods. We bought some good cheese and brats. Jen's friend MJ was writing an article on the market and it's opening day. Then we ventured to a great lunch at Farm-Bloomington and then walked around town to a few fun bookstores. Boxcar books is very fun and super activist-y. They had Neko Case playing as we walked in, so Jen was happy. After that we went out to Brown County State Park and we did Trail #8. But before that, of course we visited the Park Office and Nature Center, because Jen loves parks and park rangers and learning ALL THE THINGS! We also went up a scary fire tower... I love hiking with Jen. Sometimes we stop a lot, experience everything around us and just relax. We try and find all the details of everything (which Jen is great at), and just be next to one another. And then other times we are killing it doing miles in minutes and rocking it. It's always an adventure! After our hike we stopped into the Muddy Boots Cafe in Nashville, IN to get a quick snack and to try some of their baked goods (per a recommendation). Then we headed back to Bloomington and made a great dinner of Pasta Bolognese for our friend MJ at her new apartment (we were her first guests!). We stayed at a lovely place we found on airbnb.com. If you haven't tried AirBnB you totally should. It's cheaper and gives you a better experience because you stay with locals you can tell you more about what's best in the area. It's also just awesome to meet new and fun people.
We finished off our adventure with a morning coffee shop date at Soma, buying some yarn at Yarns Unlimited, lunch at Little Tibet and another stop at Baked! for cookies.
Feeling adventurous, energized and grateful
We are expanding for our 2nd season of Tomato's Farm! So we need more places to put all our plants - so we built two more beds. Jen bought some good cedar wood the other day, and we whipped them together yesterday in less than 30 minutes. Jen found the design for them last year online, and they've worked well.
Season 2 of Tomato's Farm!
P.S. The garlic is still doing great!
(pictured above is the first birthday I spent with her 5 years ago).
Happy birthday to the most giving woman I know. I don't know how her heart is able to give so much, but she always gives and gives of her heart, soul, time and talents.
She's always silly and makes life fun wherever and whatever she is doing
She knows how to adventure better than anyone I know
But she also knows how to relax!
But most of all she's been the best life partner to me. I'm still in awe that Jen is my partner, She takes care of me from far and near.
Jen's parents came to visit us this weekend in anticipation of Jen's upcoming birthday! But Tim & MaryKay are always awesome at helping us cross some big projects off our list. They are do-ers, and it's nice to have people like them around to share their knowledge and experience with us young home owners. So not only did we celebrate Jen's upcoming birthday, but we got lots of work done.
So after an amazing dinner at The Firefly Grill and Ice Cream at the Homewood Grill, Jen and MaryKay got to work! But first look at these cool gifts Jen got:
But we still found time to relax and have some puppy time!

Who Named The Rock?
It is believed that the Bishop Rock was official named during the late 15th and early 16th century by local fishermen from the Isles of Scilly. This was based upon its original shape of a Bishop's Mitre and its distinctive dark pink colour.
First Recorded Ship Wreck
The Royal Oak on the 18th January 1666 (See Shipwrecks Close To Lighthouses)
Worse British Navy Tragedy
On the 22nd October 1707 a fleet of warships under the command of Admiral Sir Cloudisley Shovell, became lost as it approached the Isles of Scilly.
In total H.M.S. ships Romney, Association were total wrecks with a loss of nearly 2000 lives.
Tragic Loss of the Schiller (See Shipwrecks Close To Lighthouses)
Event happened on the 7th May 1875. Lost in fog this 3421 ton passenger liner, built by Napiers of Glasgow, hit the Retarriers Rocks close to the Bishop Rock lighthouse. From a complement of 355 people on board only 42 survived.
First Bishop Rock lighthouse (Click here for index)
Pile lighthouse designed by James Walker and his partner John Burges in April 1847. It was constructed between the summer of 1848 and was completed (apart from its lantern and light) by the 5th February 1850. On this night while the workers were ashore, the Isles of Scilly was subjected to near hurricane force conditions. The projects engineer Nicholas Douglass (father of Sir James Nicholas Douglass) and his workforce could not return to the lighthouse for ten days. But when they did all that was left were the snapped off remains of the central stanchion and its iron legs.
Second Bishop Rock Lighthouse (Click here for index)
Between 1851 and 1858 a new granite tower was constructed. Nicholas Douglass was the superintendent engineer. His son James was the projects assistant engineer, with James McConnochie the resident engineer-in-charge.
The tower was built to a height of 110 ft ( 33.5m) above mean high water.
It was first lit on the 1st September 1858.
Made of solid copper by W. Wilkins and Son Ltd., Foundry Lane, London. It was 14 ft (4.27m) in diameter and 28 ft (8.53m) to the top of its domed roof. The glazing consisted of multi-panels of flat plate glass about 1/2 in (15 mm) thick.
Light Source
Fountain type oil burner with 4 circular wicks, manufactured and supplied by W. Wilkins and Son Ltd., Foundry Lane, London.
Its optical apparatus consisted of dioptric lenses with 8 reflectors and 19 prisms ( 13 above and 6 below the refractors)
Optical Manufacturers
Le Paute of Paris
Visible Range of Light by Shipping on a Clear Night
Between 14 & 16 nautical miles
Cost of Project
Commemoration Plaque Details

"This tower was erected by the Corporation of Trinity House of Deptford Strond, in London.
The first stone was laid on the 14th July 1852, in the sixteenth year of the reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria.
His Grace the Duke of Wellington, Master.
Captain John Henry Pelly, Bart., Deputy Master.
The Lowest stone was afterwards laid in the chasm of the rock, at one foot below low water spring tides, on the 30th July, 1852.
The stonework of the tower was finished on the 28th August, 1857.
His Royal Highness the Prince Albert Consort, Master.
Captain John Shepard, Deputy Master.
The successful termination of this most difficult undertaking was accomplished without loss of life or serious accident to any person employed.
James Walker Engineer N. Douglass Superintendent."
Bishop Rock, Facing the Atlantic Storms
Picture by Frank Gibson around 1948/50 at a time when the keepers were marooned on the Bishop Rock for nearly three months.
In 1860 a devise was bolted to the Bishop Rock lighthouse to measure the force of the Atlantic waves. It was similar to a Thomas Stevenson designed apparatus which consisted of a railway sleeper with its two buffer plungers attached to the granite masonry. A hydraulic line was fixed between the two plungers and also linked to a pressure gauge. This gauge in turn had a locking cog assembly which calibrated the highest recording. It was stated that the Bishop Rock had a reading of '7010 pounds per square foot'. This compared to the previously highest reading at Scotland's Bell Rock lighthouse, taken on the 29th March 1845, when the reading was '6083 pounds per square foot'. { Please note that during the early years of the Victorian period calibration for pressure was not always at p.s.i (pounds per square inch) }.
Bishop Rock Third Tower (Click here for index)
Following tremendous storms during the winter of 1881 it was found that large sections of the granite masonry had been washed away by the sea. Trinity House declared the tower to be unsafe and for a temporary period the lighthouse was held together by wide iron bands.
During the spring of 1883 James Nicholas Douglass had completed the designs for a new tower, with his son William Tregarthen Douglass being appointed as the resident engineer for the project.
This new tower was built around the existing structure to increase the base dimensions. The tower was also increased in height to about 144 ft (44m) above the mean spring water level.
First Stone laid
25th May 1883
Demolition of upper portion of former tower
11th May 1886 at the 62nd course of masonry
New works completed (construction of tower)
30th August 1886
Total volume of granite = 3220 tons
Overall height of tower from foundations to top of lantern = 160 ft (49m)
Focal plane of light = 144 ft (44m)
Helical design by James Nicholas Douglass. Manufactured by Chance Brothers, Smethick, Birmingham, England.
Optical Assembly
Consisted of 2 layered tiers of lenses, each containing 10 lenses set at an angle of 36 degrees (horizontal) and 80 degrees (vertical. Each lens consisted of a central bull's eye optic with 17 ring prisms above and below. Designed by Chief Engineer for Chance Brothers F.A. Richey (known as 'Uncle Bill').
Light Source
2 no. eight wick Douglass oil burners. On a clear night only one lamp would be lit which produced an illumination of 40,000 candle power (candelas) through the optic. Visible distance by shipping about 20 nautical miles. In foggy or heavy mist conditions both lamps were lit which gave a combined illumination of about 230,000 candle power (candelas).
Light characteristic

Presenting Circul8's new Senior Producer!
Louella just started with Circul8 as a senior producer. With 16 years' experience working in the world of digital, we're super excited for what she is going to bring to the team!
We've got a handful of producers here at Circul8 HQ, and they are all very lovely and work very hard. As one of Circul8's copywriters, I am of course totally across the job that producers do and definitely haven't used this interview to learn the specifics of their job…. See what Louella has to say…
C8: Hi Louella, first question we ask everyone: what made you want to run away and join the Circul8 circus?
L: I read a blog post that you eat lots of cake and it's true, in fact I just had a piece and it's my first week.
C8: Have you always been a producer?
L: No I started off as a baby, then I became a teenager, somewhere between then and now I became a producer, I did take a few detours in between and have been in client management and even a gallery owner and curator.
C8: What do you most enjoy about digital marketing?
L: Honestly, it's the people and the character, I love working with all types of creative people and masters of their crafts. I enjoy the collaboration between developers, designers, animators and strategist that needs to happen to in order to produce an amazing campaign. But most of the all accountability and flexibility of digital media, the fact that everything is measurable, there is no guessing, we can test and optimise at all points of the campaign so we know we are getting the most of each campaign.
C8: For those reading this who may not exactly know what producers do (not me, I'm totally across it): What exactly does your job entail?
L: Producers are pretty much the mums of the project, we look after everyone and make sure no one is crying , everyone gets home alive and all ends well.
C8: What's the app you can't live without and why?
L: I am a big fan of practical apps so I have to say Maps…i'd be lost without it…my sense of direction is not so great.
C8: What's your prediction for the next big thing in online social interaction?
L: No idea, I am continually shocked by the what people will and won't share with the world.
C8: Destination marketing and tourism are a big part of what we do here at Circul8. What are your top 3 travel destinations?
L: Mexico, Jamaica and Cuba…I like the heat.
C8: Thank you for confirming what I already knew about producers in the digital marketing world, I definitely didn't learn something I should have known ages ago.
L: Hmmm
Under our Louella-ella, eh

SSAFA marks 60th anniversary of Korean War
This weekend marks the anniversary of what many consider to be a forgotten war.
Sign up for our email newsletter to get our latest news in your inbox
This weekend marks the 60th anniversary of the armistice of the Korean War, one of the most ferocious conflicts of the 20th century. Many of those who fought have gone on to be helped by SSAFA or volunteer their time to help others.
The British were fighting as part of the United Nations in support of South Korea against Chinese forces supporting the North. Many of the British troops were National Servicemen. It was a war fought in trenches filled with mud and rats. Over 1000 British troops died, a similar number were captured or reported missing. Those who fought consider it to be a forgotten war.
One young man who went to war as a National Serviceman was Michael Mogridge, now Branch Secretary for SSAFA Oxfordshire, pictured above on the left.
"The conditions were extreme, temperatures were ranged from 20 below to 30 above and we had monsoons that flooded our trenches. We had lethal patrols into no mans land and lived in trenches that were constantly under fire.
"It is a great frustration to many of us who fought there that what happened is not recognised. However, SSAFA plays a vital role in ensuring that the veterans get the care and support they deserve."
Find out more about SSAFA's support for veterans of the Korean War and other conflicts past and present.

EAST LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Dozens of same-sex couples tried to get married Monday in Los Angeles despite Proposition 8.
The event was part of a nationwide effort called, "Request Marriage," where same-sex couples try to obtain marriage licenses, knowing they would get turned away. The event is an attempt to win support for the repeal of California's Proposition 8 and the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
Attorney Gloria Allred spoke at the event and accompanied couples as they asked for licenses. Allred and her firm are responsible for challenging same-sex marriages in California. The case has appeared twice before the California Supreme Court on behalf of their clients, Robin Tyler and Diane Olson.
A decision in the federal case challenging Prop. 8 is pending in the California Supreme Court and is expected soon, possibly this week.
(©2011 CBS Local Media, a division of CBS Radio Inc. All Rights Reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. Wire services contributed to this report.)
"Allred and her firm are responsible for challenging same-sex marriages in California."…….
If i'm not mistaken, Allred and her firm challenged prop 8 which would mean they were responsible for DEFENDING same-sex marriages in California. This should probably be corrected. 🙂
Gloria has ALWAYS supported Same Sex Marriage!
Today was beautiful.
Thank you to all who participated. Hopefully next time Jodie and I apply, we won't be declined. We wish you all a very beautiful Valentine's day.
Thank you CBS for showing our day.
Rose Holbrook
Keep at it, you will win the fight eventually.
IIt was such an honor to be there to support marriage equality for all!
