The cabin was very nice, clean, and quiet. My dog and I loved it there and we loved all the animals, especially the dogs on the property. I hope to come back soon!Drew2019-12-05T00:00:00Z
This was a great stay! We were looking for a country feel not too far from the city. Cozy little cabin, donkeys, llamas, and turkeys wandering around. They have 3 very friendly dogs and plenty of space for your furry babies to run around.Imelda2019-12-01T00:00:00Z

Easy to find. Great communication. Great Host. We absolutely loved the dogs.Kirstin2019-10-12T00:00:00Z
We really enjoyed our visit to Shi's ranch. It's convenient from Dallas and just off the highway. Cute little cabin, the dogs will definitely welcome you and hang out with you. If you don't like dogs, Shi was very willing to keep them locked up, but that was the last thing we wanted!! He has several horses, llamas and two donkeys and a lovely pond to relax at or fish. The dogs were out constant companions. I really hope to go back and explore more of the area and enjoy his place again.Matt2019-10-05T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed our stay at this rustic, clean cabin! We were looking for a place to disconnect with our dogs: this place was perfect for us! Our highlights were petting the horses and ponies as well as watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee.Kimberly2019-09-15T00:00:00Z

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary. This cabin was a wonderful escape and Delbert was a fantastic host. It didn't hurt that he had two great assistants in his dogs, Jack and Katie. The space was cozy and quiet and we were just fine staying in playing board games or sitting on the porch reading a book. If we needed some fresh air, a quick walk around the property did the trick. Looking forward to a return trip!Rj2020-03-16T00:00:00Z
This is a great place to go and get away! We very much enjoyed it here. The host was very nice and helpful. The morning hike was great too. We plan on going back one day!Kenda2020-03-14T00:00:00Z

This place is tucked back on a beautiful piece of property. The grounds are kept and everything is clean. It didn't matter if it is raining or sunny... cold or warm, this place is perfect to slow down and decompress. We loved it so much, this past weekend, we got married there-Athens seems like a small town and it is. However, it has all the shopping convenience of a larger town. Moss Bridge sits just outside of town. If you are looking for a place to unwind and truly enjoy nature-this is the place to be. When the sky is clear it is lit up with the stars. During the day, you can enjoy the many Redbirds and others eating at the feeders. This has been a place my wife, Tanya, and I like to come and will now be forever remembered as the first place we spent the beginning of our marriage.Wes2020-02-23T00:00:00Z
The cabin and property were beautiful! We loved our morning stroll and amenities of the cabin. Treats were waiting for us. We spent a lot of time relaxing on the porch. Great location to enjoy the peaceful country yet close enough to get to the wineries and other things we did in town. The owners were simply amazing and kind. We already booked another stay!Wanda2020-02-16T00:00:00Z

Very nice. Quiet for the most part except for the passing trains that come pass the condo. But not bad, reminded me of my childhood at some relatives home that had train tracks behind them.Rozetta2020-03-18T00:00:00Z
What an amazing place to stay. The condo was spotless & set up very nice & functional. The bed slept amazing, and the space in the closets served all of our needs. The kitchen was fully stocked with whatever anyone would want or need. It was a bonus to have a washer and dryer to use, right in the condo. The entire complex was friendly and very peaceful. Many things to do for all of our needs. Bryan was an awesome host, and was very helpful. We will definitely be back. Thanks again.Barbara2020-03-05T00:00:00Z

This was one of my best experiences on AirB&B. The place was exactly like the pictures, it was clean and had everything you need for a 3 week stay. We like to cook and I was happy the kitchen had all the tools I needed. The beds were comfy and clean, the bathrooms were clean and they also left us some toiletries. Bryan is an spectacular host, I was so happy when I found out he speaks Spanish, he was always just one call or message away. He help us with some packages that were deliver to the apartment so they didn't get stolen, he also send twice someone to clean even though he didn't have to. We went for bussines and I hope that when we come back we can stay again. Than you Bryan for making us fell comfortable and safe.Sara2019-12-22T00:00:00Z

Just south of Dallas off IH45. Super location if you are looking for a spacious and peaceful private space. The Old Soldiers residence on property is a super nice multi bedroom house right in the middle of a very nice farm type property that has goats, chickens and cows right there for you to see. Tia our host who resides in another residence on property is very nice and was very helpful and communicated well. This property is very attractive, simple and very clean. Tia takes care of this property well and the house has all amenities to help you feel like your at home. I have family in this area and we will be looking forward to returning back to this very appealing property for our future stays.Arnold2019-11-30T00:00:00Z
Old Soldier Ranch was the perfect destination for a quiet get-away weekend! The grounds are wooded and serene. The house is big and comfortably furnished. The kitchen had everything we needed from coffee and creamer to enjoy in the mornings to the pots, pans, utensils and spices to cook dinner in the evening. Tia even stopped by with some freshly laid eggs! We had a perfect stay at Old Soldier Ranch!Bethany2019-11-17T00:00:00Z

What a great place to get away and relax. Joe's cabin was the location of my best friend and my annual holiday meet-up.

Lots of room for a family & friends stay, with a fun kids play room as well (bunk beds, foosball, basketball, games, etc.) Big screen for movies, popcorn, upstairs & downstairs decks, outdoor lighting, books, everything you need in a kitchen, 4 baths, 5 beds plus comfy couches. We could have easily stayed several days more.Olivia2020-03-08T00:00:00Z

This is my second trip to the red barn which should say a lot about what a special place it is. I'm a city girl and am not always comfortable in the country but this cottage has changed my mind.

Quiet peaceful location w a beautiful balcony view of the countryside. Charming loft barnyard apartment w bead board and corrugated metal walls. Shabby chic furnishings, very comfortable and inviting. Extra special touch is a real wood burning fireplace. No central heat or air, but, plenty of heating and cooling devices to keep it comfortable. Fresh eggs upon arrival and Dennis is a wonderful and charming host. Don't miss seeing the rabbits and chickens.Mary Ann2020-02-19T00:00:00Z

This is a wonderful space! It is nice and quiet and is wonderful for relaxing. We arrived to a fire in the fireplace. We were even given a dozen farm fresh eggs. They were so rich and delicious. The bed was soft and comfortable. It was really nice to wake up to the sound of the rooster crowing. The shower was amazing! I love a shower head that has a good hard and steady stream and this one did not disappoint. The couch and chair in the living room were made for afternoon naps!! We even sat out on the front porch swing and watched the chickens in the yard and listened to the sound of silence. If you are looking for a nice quiet place to get away from it all, this is the spot. Our hosts were attentive to our needs and gave a quick response anytime we needed anything. They also offered us suggestions for places to eat in the area. We would definitely love to come back and stay again! It is such a great, great place!Michael2019-11-10T00:00:00Z

Samadhi is a haven, a magical place, a paradise. Close to the city but far enough to feel that you are "away." This is my 3rd visit and it was just as magical as my first time. Dawn and David are wonderful, kind, warm, and welcoming people. Our kids had a fantastic time spending their days fishing, hiking, and being goofballs.

This place is great. It's just close enough to DFW to be convenient while being far enough away that you are really out of the city and in the forest. Marie's place is one of the most pet-friendly I've been to. Pet dishes and a bed covering are provided. The paths through the property are the real highlight. There's plenty of space to walk all day (or maybe several) without retracing your steps. There's not a map of the trails, but they all seem to loop back around to the house. No worries about getting lost! We will definitely be back.Karen2020-02-09T00:00:00Z
I had an absolutely amazing time! Marie and Eddie are super kind and generous. Their property is quiet and secluded, making it a great place to unplug and reset from the day-to-day hustle. The property itself is massive, with trails winding throughout the entire 90 acres. Their small lake has a dock which is a great place to just hang out and write, think, or just chill. I'm looking forward to coming back and spending more time.Taylor2019-12-30T00:00:00Z
Exactly as described in the listing- cozy spot in the woods! Clean and well-equipped for solitude. Loved having all the kitchen tools at hand, including a crockpot that came in handy!

This lake house trip was exactly what I needed! My friends and I came down for a weekend to get away from the busy city life. The house had plenty of space for all of us and was very cozy. The kitchen had amenities that came in handy when we were making our meals and we enjoyed the extra space from the two fridges! Even though the surrounding area is very dark and quiet during the night there wasn't a time that I felt unsafe or worried! My only side note would be to bring extra small amenities that one would usually forget, shampoo, soap, toilet paper etc. Besides that the lake house was everything I expected and a little more! Would definitely stay again!Antonia2020-03-15T00:00:00Z

We booked this place less than 24 hours before arriving, yet everything was ready and welcoming. The place is even bigger than the pictures reveal. The kitchen is stocked with any kitchen items you might need to cook. The yard around the house was quite big. They had 2 different child's bed in the master closet; 1 was a portable bed for younger kids (which is exactly what we needed) and the second was an actual toddler bed. The house temperature was nice and cool when we entered, and all the hot water worked nicely. The location was perfect for us, about 1 hour from Waco. We had 3 adults, 3 teenagers, and a 2 year old--we were plenty comfortable. In fact, we didn't even use one of the beds. All in all we had a great time and would definitely consider coming back!Tim2019-09-06T00:00:00Z

If you are looking for an authentic historical Texas town, Tehuacana is it. The rustic home was magical from the comfy front porch to the upstairs bedroom and all parts in between filled with cozy nooks and interesting things. The historic vibe of Tehuacana and the interesting buildings there were super cool. The farmhouse we stayed in felt like something you would see on a movie set. It is relaxing, quiet, and so beautifully decorated. If you are history and book lover, the inside of the house will check all the boxes. Located just far enough out of the cities that you can enjoy the beautiful Texas countryside as you drive to nearby towns to visit, this house is perfect.Connie2018-11-05T00:00:00Z

You can not beat what you get here for the price. Cute, comfy and is a great space for a couple. Has a small counter stove, Keurig, small fridge. The owners are very nice and welcoming. The space around the cabin is decorated with strung lights, lawn decor , patio furniture and evena bonfire. My husband and 2 dogs even sat outside on the closed In patio basking in the sun. There are total 2 cabins and 1 house on the property but oddly enough my husand and I didnt see or even hear the owners at all. We even sat on the enclosed patio with a boxing match up and had our speakers connected and even if turned up you couldn't hear anything beyond the trees around the cabin. The majority of the time my husand and I felt like it was just us on the property. I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone needing a little seclusion. If you are wanting a good home cooked meal. .Tillos is the BEST HANDS DOWN. You will not find this place on Google but it is in the enterprise building space. Right near Athens cafe. The lunch was awesome and the bread pudding OMG. Overall awesome stay for us!Jennifer2020-03-08T00:00:00Z

My husband and I needed a night away after a VERY long emotional week. I grew up in East Texas and was craving a cabin in the woods experience. The Holly Cabin at Mossbridge Farm did not disappoint. Karen and Dub greeted us when we pulled in. We got a hug and a great suggestion for a yummy "hole in the wall" Mexican food place in town. Karen told us about Dub's mom's paintbrushes being in the cabin. This detail added such a personal touch as we enjoyed the artwork hung throughout. From pine wood ceilings and floors to the comfortable King bed, the cabin had everything we were looking for and some. They left us farm fresh eggs and all the kitchen supplies we'd needed for breakfast including coffee. My favorite by far was sitting on the comfortable chairs in the screened in front porch. They had lights strung were you could still see the beautiful woods around. It happened to be raining this night and I was delighted to just enjoy the peaceful sounds with my sweetheart's hand in mine. The next morning we walked the well maintained trails and found a beautiful large Holly Tree. The cardinals landing outside the bedroom window in the morning were absolutely delightful. Their dogs Jack and Kate were so very sweet and friendly. We hope to bring our kids and dog back to the 2 bedroom Dogwood cabin later this year.Tarah2020-01-11T00:00:00Z

04 By-products related to fuels
Derived gaseous fuels 06/00590 Biomass gasification in near- and super-critical water: Status and prospects Matsumura, Y. et al. Biomass and Bioenergy, 2005, 29, (4), 269 292. The current status of biomass gasification in near- and supercritical water (SCWG) is reviewed. There are two approaches to biomass gasification in supercritical water. The first: low-temperature catalytic gasification, employs reaction temperature ranging from 350 to 600:C, and gasifies the feedstock with the aid of metal catalysts. The second: high-temperature supercritical water gasification, employs reaction temperatures ranging from 500 to 750:C, without catalyst or with nonmetallic catalysts. Reviews are made on reaction mechanism, catalyst, and experimental results for these two approaches. Engineering technologies for SCWG gasification, and an example of process analysis are also introduced. Finally, the authors' prognostications on the future prospects of this technology are offered.
06•00591 Kinetics of steam gasification of nascent char from rapid pyrolysis of a Victorian brown coal Bayarsaikhan, B. et al. Fuel, 2005, 84, (12 137, 1612 1621. Steam gasification of nascent char from rapid or slow pyrolysis of a Victorian brown coal was performed at 1073 1173 K in a novel droptube/fixed-bed reactor, in which steam-containing gas was forced to pass through an extremely thin bed of nascent char particles at sufficiently high velocity and large flux. The nascent char underwent parallel reactions consisting of non-catalytic gasification and catalytic one. The non-catalytic gasification followed first-order kinetics with respect to the fraction of unconverted carbon, and the rate constant was hardly influenced by operating variables such as heating rate for the pyrolysis, total pressure and even period of isothermal heating between the pyrolysis and gasification. The overall activity of inherent catalysts, alkali and alkaline earth metallic species, diminished due to volatilization and intra-particle deactivation, both of which were induced by the gasification. As a result, the catalytic gasification took place within a limited range of the char conversion up to 60 80%,. The initial catalyst activity and the kinetics of activity loss largely depended on the operating variables as above and also partial pressure of steam.
LNG 06/00592 maybe?
An environmentalist reassesses LNG: just say
Asmus, P. The Electricity Journal, 2005, 18, (4), 75 77. The need for the USA to import liquefied natural gas (LNG) as an alternative to coal is weighed up against the environmental implications of building an infrastructure to accommodate this. The author urges that both economic and environmental considerations are taken into account during any implementations.
Gas discovery boosts Chevron's LNG plans
Anon., P u m p Industry Analyst, 2005, (6), 4. Chevron Corp's Venezuela affiliate has made a significant natural gas discovery at the offshore Macuira 1X exploration well, advancing the company's plans to evaluate Venezuela's first liquefied natural gas (LNG) project.
Hydrogen generation and storage 06/00594 vehicles
Day, D. et al. Energy, 2005, 30, (14), 2558 2579. The objective of this project was to investigate and demonstrate production methods at a continuous, bench-scale level and generate sufficient material for an initial evaluation of a potentially profitable method of producing bioenergy and sequestering carbon. The novel process uses agricultural, forestry, and waste biomass to produce hydrogen using pyrolysis and reforming technologies conducted in a 50 kg/h pilot demonstration. The test runs produced a novel, nitrogenenriched, slow-release, carbon-sequestering fertilizer. Seven kilograms of the material were produced for further plant growth response testing. A pyrolysis temperature profile was discovered that results in a carbon char with an affinity for capturing CO2 through gas phase reaction with mixed nitrogen-carrying nutrient compounds within the pore structures of the carbon char. A bench-scale project demonstrated a continuous process fluidized-bed agglomerating process. The total amount of CO2 sequestration was managed by controlling particle discharge rates based on density. The patent-pending process is particularly applicable to fossil-fuel power plants as it also removes SO~ and NO~, does not require energy-intensive carbon dioxide separation and operates at ambient temperature and pressure. The method of sequestration uses existing farm fertilizer distribution infrastructure to deliver a carbon that is highly resistant to microbiological decomposition. The physical structure of carbon material provides a framework for building an NPK fertilizer inside the pore structure and creating a physical slow-release mechanism of these nutrients. The complete process produces three times as much hydrogen as it consumes making it a net energy producer for the affiliated power plant.
06/00596 Effective utilization of by-product oxygen from electrolysis hydrogen production Kato, T. et al. Energy, 2005, 30, (14), 2580 2595. To avoid fossil-fuel consumption and greenhouse-gas emissions, hydrogen should be produced by renewable energy resources. Water electrolysis using proton exchange membrane (PEM) is considered a promising hydrogen-production method, although the cost of the hydrogen from PEM would be very high compared with that from other mature technologies, such as steam methane reforming (SMR). In this study, the authors focus on the effective utilization of by-product oxygen from electrolysis hydrogen production and discuss the potential demand for it, as well as evaluating its contribution to improving process efficiency. Taking as an example the utilization of by-product oxygen for medical use, the authors compare the relative costs of hydrogen production by means of PEM electrolysis and SMR.
06/00597 Electrochemical energy storage in ordered porous carbon materials Vix-Guterl, C. et al. Carbon, 2005, 43, (6), 1293 1302. Highly ordered porous carbon materials obtained by a replica technique have been used for supercapacitor application and electrochemical hydrogen storage. For the preparation of the well-tailored carbons, MCM-48, SBA-15 and MSU-1 molecular sieves served as templates, whereas a sucrose solution, propylene and pitch were the carbon source. A careful physico-chemical characterization (CO2 and N2 adsorption, X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy observations) allowed the estimation of the total surface area, the pore size distribution, the micro/mesopore volume as well as the structure and the microtexture of the investigated carbons. The specific capacitance (F/g) and the hydrogen adsorption capacity in the carbon nanopores were correlated with the microtextural properties. Especially, a linear dependence has been found between the capacitance or the amount of electrochemically stored hydrogen and the ultramicropores (pores smaller than 0.7 rim) volume. It clearly indicates that in these carbons: (a) the major part of the electrical double layer is charged with nonsolvated ions; (b) ultramicropores play a determinant role for hydrogen storage.
A dynamic simulation tool for hydrogen fuel cell
Moore, R. M. et al. Journal o f Power Sources, 2005, 141, (2), 272 285. This paper describes a dynamic fuel cell vehicle simulation (FCVSim) tool for the load-following direct-hydrogen (DH) fuel cell vehicle. The emphasis is on simulation of the direct-hydrogen fuel cell system (FC System) within the vehicle simulation tool. This paper is focused on the subsystems that are specific to the load-following direct-hydrogen model. The four major subsystems discussed are the fuel cell stack, the air supply, the water and thermal management (WTM), and the hydrogen supply. The discussion provides the details of these subsystem simulations. The basic vehicle configuration has been previously outlined in an earlier study and is only briefly reviewed in this paper.

Kandinsky, Wassily Russian painter, critic, and poet. Considered one of the most influential painters of the German Expressionist movement, Kandinsky is best known for his artistic and theoretical contributions to the development of nonrepresentational, or abstract, art. Using brilliant colors in compositions of geometric shapes and lines, he sought to communicate experiences and emotions through a purely visual language divested of all symbolic or narrative content. In doing so, Kandinsky redefined traditional concepts of the picture plane and provided the rationale for much of modern art.
According to Kandinsky, this is the most complex piece he ever painted Writing that "music is the ultimate teacher," [19] Kandinsky embarked upon the first seven of his ten Compositions.
They were displayed in the State-sponsored exhibit " Degenerate Art ", and then destroyed along with works by Paul KleeFranz Marc and other modern artists. Writing of the "artist as prophet" in his book, Concerning the Spiritual In Art, Kandinsky created paintings in the years immediately preceding World War I showing a coming cataclysm which would alter individual and social reality.
Never attempting to picture any one of these stories as a narrative, he used their veiled imagery as symbols of the archetypes of death—rebirth and destruction—creation he felt were imminent in the pre- World War I world.
As he stated in Concerning the Spiritual In Art see belowKandinsky felt that an authentic artist creating art from "an internal necessity" inhabits the tip of an upward-moving pyramid. This progressing pyramid is penetrating and proceeding into the future. What was odd or inconceivable yesterday is commonplace today; what is avant garde today and understood only by the few is common knowledge tomorrow.
Kandinsky was aware of recent scientific developments and the advances of modern artists who had contributed to radically new ways of seeing and experiencing the world. Composition IV and later paintings are primarily concerned with evoking a spiritual resonance in viewer and artist.
As in his painting of the Essay on wassily kandinsky by water Composition VIKandinsky puts the viewer in the situation of experiencing these epic myths by translating them into contemporary terms with a sense of desperation, flurry, urgency, and confusion.
Artistic and spiritual theorist[ edit ] Composition VI As the Der Blaue Reiter Almanac essays and theorizing with composer Arnold Schoenberg indicate, Kandinsky also expressed the communion between artist and viewer as being available to both the senses and the mind synesthesia.
Hearing tones and chords as he painted, Kandinsky theorized that for exampleyellow is the colour of middle C on a brassy trumpet; black is the colour of closure, and the end of things; and that combinations of colours produce vibrational frequencies, akin to chords played on a piano.
In the young Kandinsky learned to play the piano and cello. These theories are explained in Point and Line to Plane see below.
During the studies Kandinsky made in preparation for Composition IV, he became exhausted while working on a painting and went for a walk. Upon returning and seeing the canvas but not yet recognizing it Kandinsky fell to his knees and wept, saying it was the most beautiful painting he had ever seen.
He had been liberated from attachment to an object. From nearly six months of study and preparation, he had intended the work to evoke a flood, baptism, destruction, and rebirth simultaneously. After outlining the work on a mural-sized wood panel, he became blocked and could not go on.
She suggested he simply repeat the word uberflut "deluge" or "flood" and focus on its sound rather than its meaning. Repeating this word like a mantra, Kandinsky painted and completed the monumental work in a three-day span. He spent years creating abstractsensorially rich paintings, working with form and colour, tirelessly observing his own paintings and those of other artists, noting their effects on his sense of colour.
While impressions are based on an external reality that serves as a starting point, improvisations and compositions depict images emergent from the unconscious, though composition is developed from a more formal point of view.
The point of the pyramid is those few, great artists. It is a spiritual pyramid, advancing and ascending slowly even if it sometimes appears immobile. During decadent periods, the soul sinks to the bottom of the pyramid; humanity searches only for external success, ignoring spiritual forces.
This effect can be much deeper, however, causing a vibration of the soul or an "inner resonance"—a spiritual effect in which the colour touches the soul itself. He defines it as the principle of efficient contact of the form with the human soul.
White and black form the second great contrast, which is static. Any other colour resonates strongly on its neighbors. Gray corresponds to immobility without hope; it tends to despair when it becomes dark, regaining little hope when it lightens.
He called the physical support and the material surface on which the artist draws or paints the basic plane, or BP. It is neither a geometric point nor a mathematical abstraction; it is extension, form and colour.
This form can be a square, a triangle, a circle, a star or something more complex. The point is the most concise form but, according to its placement on the basic plane, it will take a different tonality. It can be isolated or resonate with other points or lines. The produced linear forms may be of several types: A plane may be obtained by condensation from a line rotated around one of its ends.
A vertical line corresponds with height, and offers no support; it possesses a luminous, warm tonality close to white and yellow. A diagonal possesses a more-or-less warm or cold tonality, according to its inclination toward the horizontal or the vertical.Wassily Kandinsky ESSAY!
Wassily Kandinsky In this world, we have many people who contribute to the development of humankind and play a vital role in creating a difference in their surrounding environment. Wassily Kandinsky – Composition VII 4 that, Kandinsky's composition VII is a combination of the resurrection of the Christ, The last judgement, and The Garden of Love in an operatic outburst of pure painting.
Wassily Kandinsky ESSAY! Wassily Kandinsky In this world, we have many people who contribute to the development of humankind and play a vital role in creating a difference in their surrounding environment.
Wassily Kandinsky and Kasimir Malevich were the first to really create works that were pure abstraction. Kandinsky was the founder of the Abstraction movement and even published a book detailing his theories on art and spirituality, On the Spiritual in Art. Composition 8 is one such art and was one of Kandinsky's first abstract art forms.
It deviates from real life forms that had been the basis of his previous works and leans towards abstract forms that are really hard to decipher.
Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian-born artist, whose contributions to the world of modern art are innumerable.
On an artistic level, Kandinsky's maturation process from representational art to abstract art is fascinating.

Hales & Loddon celebrate first win of the season
PUBLISHED: 10:23 26 May 2017
Archant Norfolk 2016
Martin Wells and Auldwyn Lindsay produced a match-winning century stand as Hales and Loddon recorded their first Norfolk Alliance Division Six win of the season.
The duo put on 103 in a crucial fifth-wicket partnership after H&L, chasing a 157 target against Ahsmanhaugh and Barton Wanderers A, were reeling at 37-4 after 13 overs.
Lacing their natural attacking instincts with intelligent restraint the middle-order pair were parted in the 31st over with the score on 140 and the job all but done. Wells, who was run out by Tosh Keshwala's direct hit from the deep, had contributed a fine 47 containing three fours and two mighty sixes.
Lindsay, aided by the able Tim Outlaw (8 not out) guided the team over the finishing line in the 36th over, for an unbeaten 47.
Stand-in skipper Pete Dye, who had earlier won the toss and invited the visitors to bat on a rain-softened wicket, was able to heave a sigh of relief at his side's recovery. A&B hopes had been boosted by a series of early breakthroughs as Callum Gibson bowled Jack Cook for 13 and had Milton Lindsay caught behind off a spitting delivery for six. Matt Buckingham was bowled by Keshwala for nine before Mark Stewart suffered his third lbw dismissal in four innings, trapped by Gibson for three. Gibson returned three for 34 from his nine overs while Keshwala showed good economy taking one for 27 from his eight.
Earlier the bottom-of-the-table visitors had posted a 156 total, which H&L had felt was well within reach.
Wilson had provided the mainstay of the A&B batting with a hard-hit 71 laced with eight boundaries, while Adam Cohen (15) and Oliver Cohen (19 not out) were the other notable contributors.
Young paceman Matt Buckingham spearheaded the H&L bowling effort, with three for 16 from nine overs, while slow bowler Will Yates did well to record one for 29 from his seven overs after suffering an inner thigh muscle injury after his first delivery. Mark Stewart kept the pressure on with two for 17 from his nine overs while Martin Wells (9 overs 1 for 43) and Jack Cook (6.4 overs 1 for 22) completed the wicket-taking against the nine-man visitors.

The general security of your static caravan is likely to be a major concern:
- As a second home you are likely to have become fond of taking your holidays there;
- If the static home is regularly let to paying guests, you are likely to have become accustomed to and welcome the rental income it generates;
- The caravan may be left unoccupied for several months during the year – especially in off-peak seasons when many static home parks are likely to be closed;
- Although static homes may come in all shapes and sizes, with some being more lavishly appointed than others, it is likely that you have made a significant investment in the purchase; and
- The validity of your caravan insurance cover may be conditional on your having taken all reasonable steps to secure it against possible loss or damage.
With security uppermost in your mind, therefore, it may be helpful to consider three basic aspects relating to the protection of your investment – the security of tenure on which the static home is pitched, security of the fabric of the caravan itself, and the security of its contents against theft, attempted theft and accidental damage.
Security of Tenure
An agreement exists between you and the owners or managers of the site on which your static home is pitched. This describes such things as the rent you pay for this facility and the terms and conditions under which you and your caravan may occupy the pitch.
These rights and obligations establish your security of tenure, allowing you to keep the caravan on the pitch for a given number of years. Just how long that security of tenure runs may vary of course according to the terms of the particular agreement you sign.
Typically your security of tenure may vary between, say, 10 or 15 years and may include conditions relating to the maximum age of the static home and the requirement that it is kept in good condition.
The agreement may also include a requirement that you keep the static home adequately insured. There might even be a stipulation that the static home insurance is bought from the owners or managers of the park. If there is no such explicit provision, yet you still feel under pressure to arrange the insurance you are offered by the park management, it may be worth standing your ground to insist that you buy the cover you need, at a competitive price, from an independent provider.
A number of the legal issues affecting your rights and obligations with respect to security of tenure are discussed on the UK Law pages of the website Just Answer.
At the end of the day, though, keeping your static home secure may depend on your careful reading and understanding of the agreement which gives you security of tenure of the ground on which it is pitched.
The Caravan
Your static home is likely to deserve the same kind of protection against structural damage as any other home. This means insurance against such major risks – amongst others – as:
- Fire;
- Flooding;
- Escape of water;
- Storm damage;
- Impacts; and
- Vandalism.
An incident involving any one of these perils may result in the total loss of your holiday home and because it may be unoccupied for several months at a time, those risks may be multiplied.
Gas leaks in the relative confines of a static caravan, for instance, may result in a potentially explosive mixture. When you leave it unoccupied, therefore, special care needs to be taken to disconnect the gas and preferably remove the cylinders to a separate place of safe storage. Butane gas may freeze in very cold weather, even when the thermometer remains above zero; Propane, on the other hand, does not freeze.
Although you may have checked that electrical circuits are working properly, you may also want to switch off and disconnect your electricity supply.
Another important utility is water. It is not only the risk of flooding as frozen pipes burst, but also the damage that may be done to fixtures and fittings if even just a small amount of water freezes in a valve.
For this reason you need to make sure that every last drop of water is drained from water and heating systems – even going so far as to blow through the systems with the reverse flow of a vacuum cleaner to expel the final drops.
Remember, too, that during the inevitable winter storms, your caravan is likely to take quite a battering. To help stabilise it whilst it is being buffeted by the winds and gales, it might help to invest in strong corner stays, firmly rooted into the ground.
Further useful tips about preparing your static caravan for the winter may be found in a discussion thread on Go Static.
The Contents
Although the security of the structure and fabric of your static home is of course important, one of the most common perils – and certainly one of the most annoying – is theft of its contents. According to Caravan Talk, for example, a tenth of all caravan insurance claims relate to incidents of theft from the home.
Combat against such intrusions and losses is much the same as you might deploy when protecting your permanent place of residence:
- Windows and Doors: Security locks provide the first line of defense, so it is important that good quality locks are fitted to every opening, preferably one of the two kinds of security devices described by My Holiday Caravan, namely clamp locks or cube locks;
- Security Alarms: To a great extent, the security of your static home from unwanted attention may depend on the measures taken by the park management;
- Some sites, for example, offer their own alarm systems to warn security that an unauthorized entry has been attempted;
- Failing that, you might want to consider investing in your own motion detecting intruder alarm system;
- Valuables: The static caravan is your holiday home, a second home away from home, so it is perfectly reasonable that you fill it with all the equipment you might need when on holiday – including some items that may be more valuable than others;
- When leaving the home for any length of time, therefore, you might consider taking any valuable with you, or at least putting them somewhere out of sight;
- If you regularly keep items of especial value in your second home, you might even consider installing a safe let into the floor.
There are a number of areas, therefore, you might want to consider when it comes to keeping your static home secure – and these are likely to include at least those mentioned here.

Predictors of Long-term Abstinence Among Chinese Smokers Following Treatment: The Role of Personality Traits

Four hundred and thirty-five Chinese smokers who had attended the first smoking cessation clinic and received stage-matched individualized cessation counseling in Hong Kong during the period of August 2000 to January 2002 were successfully followed-up between February and August 2008. Some 38% of the participants (165/495) had stopped smoking during the 12-month follow-up after treatment. Participants with higher conscientiousness score (OR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.09 - 2.48) and lower openness to experience score (OR = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.45 - 0.92) showed a greater likelihood of quitting smoking after controlling the effect of daily cigarettes smoked and stage of readiness at baseline. The study suggests an important role of conscientiousness and openness to experience on long-term quitting behaviors following treatment, and provides useful information for the development of matched intervention for smoking cessation among Chinese smokers.

Marketing Trends in 2017 Lawyers Should Know About
February 13th, 2017 | By: Walker Advertising | Posted in: From the CEO
2017 promises to be interesting in many ways. One of those is the technology that will create a host of new marketing trends lawyers can expect to see in the coming year. While not all of these marketing trends are brand new, some are poised to become bigger than ever before.
Mobile devices are nothing new. But their prominence in the consumer world continues to grow measurably. What that means for your law practice is that you'll need to make sure your online presence – your website, your lead capture pages, your social media footprint – is geared toward mobile devices. Your marketing plan should weigh more in that direction as well.
Native advertising, where ads mimic the form and function of regular content, has been around for awhile. But it's about to balloon even more. Mobile users especially have never been big fans of ads on their screens. But native ads are more palatable. Some sources estimate that as many as 25% more consumers actually look at native ads than they do other kinds of advertising like banner ads. Consider going native when advertising your practice areas.
Chatbot use is on the rise, and for good reason. People searching for products and services want to spend less time looking for them. Here's an example of how a chatbot could work for your law practice: rather than combing through your website in hopes of discovering the answers they want, a prospective client could simply engage in a conversation with a chatbot. Ideally, a chatbot gets to the root of the prospect's problem and serves up the information quickly and easily. An intuitive, friendly and knowledgeable chatbot might convert prospects to clients faster, getting you the kinds of cases you're looking for.
Immersive experiences are gaining momentum in the marketing world as well. Users crave immersive experiences because they feel like they're interacting more with the content. Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are two technologies driving this trend. As a law practice, you might offer videos that walk prospects through the steps they can expect when their case is being litigated. You might also host live webinars and workshops to get prospects to engage with you. The key is to provide some level of interaction in a way that makes people feel like you understand their issues and can help them solve their problems.

Spending practices regarding election campaign funds in Alabama are under review. How those funds are spent, now, can be looked up as public information, and there are some questions that come from the details.
Kyle Whitmire of AL.COM and the Birmingham News took a dive in to the data about Alabama Representative Mike Hill, a Republican from Columbiana. Hill has just been named Superintendent of Banks in Alabama by Governor Robert Bentley. Over a four year period, Rep. Hill spent money from his campaign account that, while it may raise eyebrows, is probably legal.

Each week we'll hear an update on political happenings in Birmingham and Jefferson County from Birmingham News local political reporter Kyle Whitmire. Hear him Wednesday afternoons on All Things Considered.
A loophole in Alabama's campaign finance law allows for questionable contributions.
If you look for a definition of the word, "ethics," terms come up like, "moral principles," and "the concept of right and wrong." Appropriate behavior, or noting the lack of it. Kyle Whitmire, political columnist for the Birmingham News and AL.COM, notes that the latest changes to ethics laws in Alabama have allowed for a […]
We continue our examination of corruption that appears to plague Alabama politics
Alabama has a corruption problem. Former House Speaker Mike Hubbard is currently awaiting sentencing for 12 felony ethics convictions, Chief Justice Roy Moore is scheduled to go to trial for allegedly violating judicial ethics and Governor Robert Bentley is being investigated for possible impeachment. So, is there a way to solve the state's corruption problem?
An investigation is underway to determine whether Governor Robert Bentley should be impeached, and a discussion about Alabama real estate mogul Franklin Haney and his potential influence on state politics. The latest from AL.com's Kyle Whitmire.
