From "Hardesty's History of Lincoln County, West Virginia," published by H.H. Hardesty, we find this entry for George Thomas Holton, who resided at Fourteen in Lincoln County, West Virginia:
Was born in Cabell county, (now) West Virginia, February 11, 1847, and came to Lincoln county in 1872. His parents, James and Margaret (Cooper) Holton, were here when the county was organized. In Lincoln county, December 23, 1878, the Rev. W.A. Snodgrass united in marriage George Thomas Holton and Yantus Elkins. She was born in Logan county, West Virginia, June 16, 1860, and her parents, Andrew and Elizabeth (Elkins) Elkins, were residents of Lincoln county at the time of its organization. Mr. and Mrs. Holton have been blessed with two children: Minnie, born October 26, 1879, died August 29, 1882; Lenville Marion, born July 22, 1881. George Thomas Holton is a school teacher and a farmer in Hart Creek district, and receives his mail at Fourteen, Lincoln county, West Virginia.

Between 1879 and 1910, the following men served as justices of the peace in the Harts Creek community. The primary source for this material is "Commissioner's Record of Destroyed Title Papers 2," which is located at the Lincoln County Clerk's Office in Hamlin, WV. Material is arranged based on the person's name as given in the deed, the date of the deed, and the date of the deed's acknowledgment by a JP. I have also found JPs listed in Deed Book 50, 51, 52, 54, 55, 56, and 60. Deed Book "S" at the Logan County Clerk's Office as well as numerous records in the Logan County Circuit Clerk's Office have also provided information.

Ways to avoid Acute Mountain Sickness during trekking in Nepal !!!
November 30, 2018
Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), also known as Altitude sickness can be fatal. When you drive, fly or hike up an altitude above 2,400m asl in a short period of time, your body may not have enough time to adapt mountainous atmosphere featuring low levels of oxygen and decreased air pressure. This can end in acute mountain sickness. Symptoms of AMS include dizziness, nausea, headaches, and shortness of breath. The levels of exertion also play a key role. For example, when you push yourself to swiftly hike up a mountain, you are likely to become a victim of AMS.
It is said that 'prevention is better than cure', so if you act smart and carry out a little pre-travel preparation before trekking to higher elevations, you can come across an adventure of your lifetime. Acquiring some small pieces of information about Acute Mountain Sickness before departure can mean the difference between a blissful escapade and a trouble-filled experience that could very likely to conclude with an emergency evacuation off amidst a dreamlike journey. Therefore, I am going to share a handful of ways regarding the prevention of Acute Mountain Sickness:
Get appropriate rest:
You should be constantly conscious with regard to the amount of rest you are taking when you are on a quest to traverse elevations over 2,400m asl. At these heights, the significant quantity of rest is necessary in order to loosen up your tired muscles as well as to overcome the sensation of anxiety and suffocation. The thing that you should keep in your mind is not to walk at a rapid pace even if you seem to be in a good condition. Make sure to maintain your pace and take sufficient rest at regular intervals.
Attain higher altitude gradually:
Acclimatization is the best way to lower your chances of getting AMS. Avoid flying or driving directly to higher elevations. Make an ascent each day, stop to rest, and continue the next day. Let your body adapt to the difference in air pressure and oxygen levels as you advance further up above. Progressing steadily assist your lungs to grasp more air through deeper breaths and enables the increased number of Red Blood Cells to transport oxygen to various parts of your body. Limit your climb to more than 3,00m per day and schedule a rest day after each increase in altitude of 1,000m.
Carry a first aid box with sufficient medicines:
Always remember to have a first aid box stocked with required medicine in your possession. The first aid box must include medications for general illness along with antiseptics and bandages. For AMS, the first aid box must be equipped with Acetazolamide or Dexamethasone. Medicines to combat symptoms of AMS should be taken under the prescription of a doctor or medical expert.
Drink abundant water and fluids:
In the course of your journey uphill in the higher elevations, we highly recommend you to drink ample quantities of water as well as other fluids which aid to keep the body hydrated. People around the planet are still unfamiliar with the fact that the human body suffers the loss of water speedily when exposed to high altitude and arid atmosphere. Trekkers must drink at least two liters of water every day. Don't forget to purify the water before you drink. Moreover, hot drinks and food such as tea, coffee and soup are also helpful to fulfill the demand of water in your body.
In most of the cases regarding altitude sickness, its effects are mild and people often quickly recover. In fewer cases, AMS can turn critical and leads to HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema) or HACE (High Altitude Cerebral Edema), which can lead to the death of the individual. The most effective treatment against these extreme forms of AMS is DESCEND! DESCEND!! And DESCEND!!!

Anyone who has worked as even a clerk in a merchant bank, especially one like Goldman Sachs, would have been drilled from Day One about the importance of maintaining Chinese Walls, the artificial barriers between departments within the bank which ensure any potential conflicts of interest are avoided, or at least explained away.
Alex Turnbull's comment with regards the 1MDB deal:
"How many Mongolian models did we have to bury in the jungle for this pricing" ;
could only have been made if Alex was involved in that deal. His father Malcolm Turnbull, current prime minister of Australia, would understand all this well. His silence on the whole ANZ-1MDB issue can no longer be tolerated.
Turnbull Should Quit Moaning And Join The Anti-Corruption Campaign!
Alex Turnbull has told The Australian Newspaper that "whistleblowing is a shit business" (see video).
By this he is referring to his own ordeal, by which he was apparently down-graded to the "B Stream" at Goldman Sachs for questioning the wisdom of accepting huge commissions to organise the 1MDB bond issues in 2012/13.
Let us remind Mr Turnbull that the actual whistleblower on 1MDB was Xavier Justo, who passed data to Sarawak Report and was, as a result, imprisoned in the "B Wing" of a Thai jail for 18 months, thanks to a revengeful plot hatched by the pals of Turnbull's former Goldman Sachs colleague, Tim Leissner, namely Jho Low and his colleagues from PetroSaudi.
Now that IS 'shit'!
It took a good year before Justo and Sarawak Report received any vindication on the story, whilst Justo sweated behind bars, subject to villification by paid media and the Malaysian authorities. Sarawak Report was hounded and defamed at the same time.
How helpful it would have been had Mr Turnbull spoken out during that period to confirm his own experiences and draw attention to the failures of governance that allowed his former bank, Goldman Sachs, to process the dodgiest of deals for an outlandish commission of over half a billion dollars.
But, not a squeak, unfortunately. He didn't speak out till being needled by Malaysian financial investigator Ganesh Sahavethan, who suggested in his blog that maybe Australia's failure to adequately tackle 1MDB owed to the Turnbull family's Goldman Sachs connection. Alex first complained and then threatened to sue the blogger:
post about me and 1MDBGanesh, hope all is well. I was wondering if you would take down those posts implying I somehow benefitted from 1MDB – I did not, quite the opposite in fact. I called out the insane pricing and bizzare structure at GS [Goldman Sachs] when the deal was done and got yelled at by compliance for casting doubt on the integrity of PFI, the group that did the deal. As a result I was "b tracked" and resigned. [Alex Turnbull]
Plainly, Alex Turnbull has been preoccupied trying to set himself up in his new business, having left Goldman's unacceptable B Stream situation. However, self-pity is not an impressive hindsight to be offering on events at a time when the Justos are still fighting for justice in their case.
So, we implore this influential young Australian to stand up for right a little more forcefully than he has done, now that he has cut his ties with Goldman and chosen to speak out frankly. There is plenty more to do and he would make a great ally for those who have stuck out their necks on the side of morality in Malaysia.
Of particular concern, is the fact that Australia has, under his father's administration, been lamentably inactive over pursuing and investigating this global financial scandal, compared to other jurisdictions. Whilst Switzerland, the US, Singapore and even Indonesia have been prepared to deal with the 1MDB billion dollar fallout, Australia has been happy to turn a blind eye to the whole affair.
ANZ Bankers, who are up to their necks in processing the billion dollars that went through Najib's accounts in the bank's AmBank subsidiary, have been completely let off the hook. And, as a result, the extent of the scandal has failed to be exposed.
What about Sirul?
Turnbull junior has also spoken out about Altantuya "How many Mongolian models did we have to bury in the jungle for this pricing?" he apparently had complained to his Goldman bosses. Yet, the man who pulled the trigger on Altantuya is presently sitting in an Australian detention centre and no one has made the effort to get the truth out of him there as to why he did the deed.
The Australian authorities have allowed a mssive cover up over how Sirul was able to obtain a smart phone to make a puff video for Najib from his jail cell, for which he was bribed with handsome promises.
Indeed, Najib is heading to Australia next weekend and there is not a single case open about 1MDB in the country to embarrass this corrupt PM. Tell your Dad, Alex, to stop playing diplomacy and stop protecting his former bank (which coincidentally also employed Alex… i.e. Goldman Sachs). Tell your Dad to push for the rules to be enforced.
If you are not prepared to stick your neck out properly, quit moaning that you have endured the consequences of being a 'whistleblower' when actually you only complained internally – others can tell you that you haven't got a clue!

If you're an iPhone 4 owner thinking about upgrading, you have a tougher choice to make. Thanks to the two-year contract imposed by AT&T and Verizon, you're not yet eligible to pay the $200 upgrade fee for a new phone, so you'd have to spend over $600 just to get the 4S.
IMHO, THIS is what matters the most for a lot of people, Not how really amazing Siri is. Although, there is absolutely no doubt on how truly amazing Siri is :-)
Some of my cousins and friends from the stateside are going to be so pissed off!

As soon as TaylorMade M2 irons review launched, it took the top spot. The golfers saw that those M2 irons produced incredible launch conditions, forgiveness, and distance. According to its design and technology, the irons launch the ball as fast and as high as possible.
Through that action, a golfer will be able to gain a steep landing angle and maximum speed. From tee to green, these irons are a good option for the mid to high handicap golfer who need more forgiveness and maximum distance.
Amateur golfers can also enjoy the M2 irons as the irons have great forgiveness.
The redesigning of M2 irons for 2017 made the original M2 iron to defer in terms of the feel, look, and performance of the club. Serious golfers can rely on this club as to uplift their game even if they are higher priced than the other sets.
Major features
TaylorMade clubs have rich, high-tech features, one of which is the 2017 M2 irons. The M2 are usually the most technologically-advanced distance irons from TaylorMade. According to the new technology, some key features you can find in the M2 irons are discussed below. The features enable the M2 to have better forgiveness, higher angle, improved swing consistency, and more distance.
Updated Face Slot
Face slot technology didn't come with M2; it first came into the scene with the TaylorMade RSi a few years. TaylorMade saw it unnecessary to include the face slot in the M2 2016 edition as it would give it a low ball flight due to the presence of a large club head.
But, this kind of technology is appropriate on the M2 irons as it is designed with a lower CG. It usually makes the shallow design of the face profile on the lead edge thinner increasing the bell flight penetration.
The face lots that appear on either side of clubface sweet spot usually enhance the ball speeds and flexibility.
Compact Face
A large club head is what the game-improvement irons are all about. The problem with most golfers around is that they are unable to shape the golf ball in whatever manner they desire when playing as they have to sacrifice some forgiveness and distance.
Fortunately, the M2 2017 irons actually tackle these major issues. Unlike other game-improvement irons, M2 has club head sizes that are not over bulky but mid-large making it attractive as you look at the address.
It actually balances distance and performance without compromising on forgiveness. The shot shaping playability and amount of control of the M2 irons are excellent even if its playability doesn't match those of forged irons or performance blades. Due to the high trajectory ball flight, stopping the ball is easy.
Ultra-Thin Speed Pocket
Another new feature is the ultra-thin Speed Pocket found on the 3 through 7 irons of the M2. Whenever there is an impact, the face will flex more due to the presence of the speed pocket. A speed pocket is actually a vital component when it comes to distance and forgiveness. For that reason, it allows you to gain good speeds when on off-center hits as it maximizes ball speeds.
New Fluted Hosel
Similar to the Face Slot in this club, the fluted hosel design isn't a new feature. The club has thinner and lighter hosel. Due to the hosel design, about 3 grams weight where removed from the 2016 design when compared to its predecessor.
The fluted hosel is much thinner on the 2017 M2 edition as it 6 wider sections compared to the 2016 M2 which has 8. The resultant effect is that the 2017 M2 edition became 5 grams lighter than the ordinary hosel. A Lighter hosel is advantageous as it provides a lower CG and faster swing. There is a 30% improvement in bending with the new hosel bend. Also, with the low CG, there are higher launch angles in the M2 irons.
Geocoustic Technology
TaylorMade implemented the Geocoustic engineering on the M2 irons that resemble the M2 metal woods. The geometry tunes its acoustics to create frequencies that enhance quality sound and feel.
Regarding the looks, TaylorMade is amongst the best in the golfing arena. They are also prominent technology-wise as the clubs produced are modern and high-tech on top of their classical appearance.
With that in mind, the 2016 iron set edition had a great appearance, but the TaylorMade M2 irons has even a more improved look. It has a yellow to light green re-branded M2 logo that has a modern upgraded fresh look.
While the 2016 version has a raw black finish, there is a new chrome tour finish on the 2017 irons. The chrome finish on the club is usually advantageous as it lasts longer compared to the raw finishes.
Therefore, the look on the M1 is more compact while that one on M2 is bulkier and thicker.
Apart from having a rounded head, it has a fairly thick topline, a large clubface and also wide sole scream. The offset on the clubface is fair enough to get the ball up into the air.
Those people who feel not confident to hit a golf ball are inspired to play. Players can generally find appealing some aesthetics like yellow/ gray/ white/color scheme, a classy polished chrome finish, branding, and labeling. The ribs that stiffen the irons' faces have a random pattern.
The feel for the M2 is quite broader in comparison to other clubs. To better understand these TaylorMade irons, you will have to examine the transition that occurs between the irons in the set.
There are vast improvements made on the 2017 M2 from the earlier 2016 version. While it was easy to notice the transition non-slotted to slotted irons on the 2016 version, 2017 M2 set is barely noticeable.
It certainly becomes easier to hit a ball as you proceed up the set due to the slight increase in the head size and offset. Due to that fact, a 4-iron is comparable to the hybrid as it has a big face.
The medium-large head feels solid while the shaft and hosel are light. Without compromising on the Speed Pocket and the Face Slot performance, the ribs are well-placed on the cavity back to stiffen the club's face thereby improving the feel.
What comes into mind when a person mentions the cavity back irons is the amplification and loudness. The new ribs enable the sounds to appear like a forged iron and be muted. Although the amplified sound can be heard, it is not that loud like the other game improvement irons.The Face Slot on the m2 irons permits the face to flex usually making a dull sound.
From the synthetic badge to the top line's underside, there are the new ribs that tackle the sound issue. Although the ribs appear placed in a random pattern, they carefully to optimize the feel and sound.
Due to that effect, the sound is barely noticeable even though it is muted. Therefore there is a reasonably loud sound that emanates from the 2017 M2 Irons that resembles the TaylorMade signature.
Some iron sets around usually encompass certain adjustability forms like adjustable hosel or movable weights, but Adjustability is not a crucial attribute for wedges and irons.
Adjustability is a useful component in certain drivers but it can at times inhibit irons performance. That is why the designers of 2017 M2 opted to leave out the adjustability feature from the irons.
- If you gauge it amongst distance-focused irons, the set has one of the longest irons.
- Across its face, the club produces very consistent heights and ball speeds as it is very forgiving. As a result, you are bound to attain exceptional distance even during mishits.
- Although it has classical values, it is good looking with high-tech and modern designs.
- Overall, it has a durable look yet classy chrome finish.
- The transition from the non-slotted to the slotted irons is smooth and barely noticeable.
- It takes time to get used to as some players might see its height trajectory too high.
- The Face Slot technology causes it to sound a little muted.
Performance of the TaylorMade M2 Irons Review
Throughout the discussion, the M2 Irons have been highlighted as forgiving. What is really impressive to hear is how forgiving the M2 irons are without appearing too bulky. When the designers make the head of the iron bigger to permit a reasonable Moment of Inertia (MOI), there will be forgiveness.
A lower CG and fast ball speed is the principle that contributes to high ball flight and long distances. Attaining longer distances for better players is not important, but for beginners, game improvement irons are crucial.
For that reason, TaylorMade has always strived to improve the distance on the iron. Arguably, M2's greatest strength is distance control as the iron is able to smash the golf ball effectively.
By any iron's standard, M2 Irons provide a high flight trajectory. The shallow face profile, tall and thin face and light fluted hosel create a very low CG that is conducive. The ball speeds generated are consistent across the club's face even though not very high.
Both the face slot and speed pocket allow the face more flex, thus, enabling a player an easier time to swing. The M2 irons are amongst the longest irons ranking with Callaway irons.
The Face Slots and Speed Pocket together with a low CG increases the ball speeds and launch angle as it keeps the spin low. Therefore, the M2 is able to contribute the main ingredients to distance which are a low spin and a high launch.
For distance to be valuable, it ought to be accompanied with control. Fortunately, with the M2 Irons, placing the ball where you need is easy as there is great shot-stopping control. Therefore, if there is excellent distance control, shots are able to hold the greens and hits give consistent results.
In golf, you don't play a straight game; you have to encounter numerous obstacles. You will not always hit the ball straight as you will have to bend left and right using low and high shots. M2 irons enable a player to shape shots that's why they are ideal for mid to high handicappers.
Although the playability isn't comparable to the forged irons or blades, any golfer can benefit to these set of irons owing to its forgiveness and distance.
Due to high-forgiveness design and low CG of M2, the balls struck usually fly straight and high. Unfortunately, such kinds of irons are not appropriate to players searching for robust workability and a precision touch.
M2 clubs deliver as they are intended to do as they hit the ball, launch it high despite having extremely strong lofts. Golfers who don't too often miss the club's center can really benefit from the M2s. With the long irons, players can hit reasonably square on the sweet spot, thereby, gaining maximum distance.
When designing the M2s, Taylormade emphasized the height and distance. While these two things are incredibly crucial, what a player needs to ascertain is whether they match well will the game being played.
These clubs are helpful to golfers who find it a challenge to attain the requisite trajectory and distance but can achieve good contact. In terms of game performance, the M2 Irons can create a huge difference. An occasional golfer who enjoys hitting the ball with irons but not after maximizing forgiveness can also find this set rewarding.
Apart from having an excellent distance and superb trajectory, the M2 enables you to attain better scores consistently. However, it will depend on the game and how you play as a golfer.
We hope you found this review helpful.
Here is more information if you want a quick guide to choosing your golf clubs.

This article is a reprinting of a feature of Jay Z as one of the top artists of the last ten years, originally posted on betterpropaganda.com. SFCritic liked the style, and thought I'd highlight/share it with you. Enjoy:
Nobody knows Jay Z better than Jay Z. So why should I try explaining his legacy, skills, impact, and story—when he can? This piece is a montage of Jay Z's lyrics throughout all his albums. With a little narration, I'll let him explain why we should consider him one of top 100 artists of the last 10 years.
Jay Z, you've sold millions of hip hop records. From hustlin' streets to MTV Unplugged, how would you describe your impact in hip hop?
(Jay Z)
I'm, young H.O., rap's Grateful Dead
I keep it realer than most, I know you're feelin it
I can't see 'em comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
(D) Your music is pretty well known—no?
(J) Then run and tell them ducks you heard Hovi new shit
He and the boy Phar-real make beautiful music
He is to the East coast what Snoop is
To the West, what 'Face is to Houston
(D) What about your lyrical content? Every rapper raps about the hood. Every rapper seems to talk about sex, drugs and booty, what makes you a top artist?
(J) Radio's gotta play me though I cuss too much
Magazine said I'm shallow, I never learned to swim
Just read a magazine that fucked up my day
How you rate music that thugs with nothin relate to it?
I help them see they way through it - not you
Can't step in my pants, can't walk in my shoes
Bet everything you worth; you lose your tie and your shirt
Can't deny me, why would you want to
You need me, why don't you try me
(D) So I can't critique you because I haven't walked a day in your shoes. So if you're content is not much different than other, what can critics point to say, "this is one of the greatest hip hop artists?"
(J) I stretched the game out, X'ed your name out
I'm a business man, not a business man
Demandin y'all respect, hand over a check
And while y'all at it, hand over the jet
We the reason they ain't hand over Def Jam so quick
They knew every year I was droppin new product
I was raisin the stock up, while buildin the Roc up
I'm a hustler homey, you a customer crony
(D) So where does that leave you Jay? In the greats of hip hop, where do you stand with your comeback?
(J) Can't call this a comeback, I run rap, the fuck is y'all sayin?
Five million I done that, and I come back, to do it again (uh-huh)
Ex-sinner, Grammy award winner
I came, I saw and I conquered, from record sales to sold out concerts
Maybe you'll love me when I fade to black
If you can't respect that, your whole perspective is whack
(D) You heard the man, if you can't respect that, your whole perspective is whack!

Nelson MP Nick Smith is worried that strike action at Port Nelson this weekend and planned for next week will hurt the region's economy and further undermine falling business confidence.
"Port Nelson is the heart of our exporting economy and this sort of disruption is very damaging to economic confidence in the region. The damage of the strike is compounded in being timed when apple and kiwifruit exports are at their peak.
"I urge the eight tug masters and engineers to reconsider their strike action this weekend as well as that proposed for another whole week next Thursday. They need to reflect on the impact this strike will have on Nelson's orcharding families and other port workers. They also need to reflect that the strike will hurt Port Nelson financially and that this affects every ratepayer through the ownership of the Nelson and Tasman Councils.
"This is the first industrial action by Port Nelson staff in 30 years and the new Labour-led Government must accept some responsibility. We have seen more industrial action in the last nine months involving trains, buses, printers and other ports than in the last nine years. The unions expect pay back for their support of Labour at the election and are now flexing their muscles at the expense of other New Zealanders.
"This industrial disruption at the Port is the last thing Nelson needs. We were rated a year ago as the top performing regional economy in the country out of 16, but have already dropped to 12th. This dispute needs to be resolved quickly or we risk further declines in our region's economic rating."

A key date in the fashion industry's diary, Parisian textile trade show Premiere Vision was a muted affair for spring 21, but still provided a panoply of creative fabrics
Ahead of Parisian textile trade show Première Vision (PV), which ran on 11-13 February at the Parc des Expositions just outside of Paris, concerns had been steadily rising around the impact of coronavirus on fashion manufacturing and sourcing. Travel restrictions led to more than 30 Chinese exhibitors cancelling plans to attend, while others sent their European agents instead.
The impact of these restrictions was also felt in visitor numbers in the cavernous halls. Exhibitors noted lower footfall from Chinese visitors and international names, who it its thought skipped the show because of the absence of some of China's key sourcing names.
However, other than large information signs advising on healthcare precautions at entrances, there was little sign of concern or action from those attending. Despite promises ahead of the show that face masks and hand sanitiser would be readily provided to attendees, Drapers did not see them in any abundance. In fact, measures at PV were less obvious than at London trade shows Pure and Scoop the previous weekend.
British names at the show reported growing concerns over the future impact of the current "supply chain blockade" in China as a result of the virus, noting that stock could soon dry up and new-season supply may be limited.
Nonetheless, there was still a relatively healthy turnout at the show, particularly on day two. The Fabrics hall was busy, and the Smart Creations sustainability section, which increased to 58 brands this season, also attracted large numbers of visitors.
Alongside the continuing sustainable focus at the show, spring 21 trends erred towards the exuberant, with shimmer, shine, eye-catching textures and bright acid tones. Crucially, these embellishments were sustainable, using recycled materials and biodegradable glitters. Elsewhere, linen and lightweight cotton remain key summer fabrics, but tweeds emerged as an unexpected summer star.
Earlier this month, PV announced that its September show dates were shifting to earlier in the season. The move was received positively, and exhibitors noted that the show had fallen too late in the buying calendar. However, there were concerns over stock availability for some mills.
Although exhibitors stressed that PV remains a key show for the industry, several British names told Drapers that the Milan shows were becoming increasingly integral for meeting big-name brands and larger businesses.
While PV continues to thrive, China's absence this season brought home the significant influence the country has over all aspects of the global fashion industry. The fallout from coronavirus is yet to be felt in full force, but exhibitors were encouraged by PV's in-show announcement of a new event in partnership with Fashion Source to be held in Shenzhen, China, later this year.
At the start of an unsteady season, PV once again gave an insight into the trends and challenges the industry will face in the seasons to come.
Views from the show
Jemma Wood, account manager, Alex Begg
It's been quieter than usual on the first day but, having said that, the second day is normally the busier one. We're not sure how it's going to go this year with people not travelling [because of coronavirus]. There are normally a lot of Asian buyers at Première Vision, and they aren't travelling, but we've seen a lot of other nationalities.
They have been positive about the season and for us it's going quite well. People have been interested in a real mix of fabric weights. We never know with the spring show because a lot of our [fabric] weights are cashmere and wool, and so lend themselves more to autumn, but there has still been a good reaction.
People are looking for more transitional fabrics and the show timings are changing to reflect that. The autumn show is normally too late to catch people, so it's a good thing to move it earlier.
The new combined show in China with Fashion Source is a good idea to congregate it all together.
Sarah Powell, sales manager, Abraham Moon
On day one we've already had some interesting new leads as well as seeing our regular customers.
It's a little quiet as a lot of people are not travelling. Some of our customers have let us know they're not coming because of the absence of some of the bigger Chinese exhibitors. Similarly, other agents have told us that a lot of people are not coming because they do all their sourcing from China, and if those exhibitors aren't here, what's the point?
We've got to be here to be seen as actively promoting the brand. We've just come from Milano Unica, which was really busy and becoming increasingly so for us. Première Vision is too late in September, and a lot of people want to get orders in early.
It's been massively positive here so far from buyers, even after Brexit. We've seen an influx of new and smaller brands as well. There has been a rise in cut lengths, as smaller tailors increasingly want to do their own ranges.
Em Mendoza, sales and marketing manager, Piñatex
We've exhibited in the Smart Creations section ever since it started. It was around 10 brands in its first year in 2015, but now it is so much bigger thanks to the increasing market for sustainable materials.
It's a great opportunity to teach people about our product. PV for us is both about writing orders and educating people about the brand. However, compared with the other shows we go to [Copenhagen Fashion Summit, Future Fabrics Expo and Lineapelle] PV is more about selling. It's a chance to meet designers who make the buying decisions and convince them to work with us.
The brands we tend to see are an equal split between big names and smaller independent buyers or emerging brands. We also tend to get a lot of students nearer the end of the show which is amazing as they are the people who are the future of the industry.
This year we've seen fewer Chinese customers, because of coronavirus fears. It's mostly been European visitors, and some from the US.
David Gallimore, managing director of Luxury Fabrics Ltd, representing Kynoch 1788, John Foster 1819 and William Halstead
The show has been all right so far, but there was a quiet start to day one. We came straight from showing in Milan last week and we see a lot of the major brands there – the big French and Italian fashion houses. PV for us is more about smaller and emerging designers, and that's why we show here as we think those businesses are the future. They make it worth coming along. We see about 50% new customers here, as opposed to 2% new customers in Milan.
Personally, I think it was crazy to change the dates of PV next season. There will be a clash with the Milan shows, and so buyers and exhibitors will have to decide which one they go to. The clash makes no sense, as both shows will lose out in the end.
All the concerns that are talked about around Brexit and trade are not having an impact on business yet. Brexit seems to be very much on the conversation back-burner now. There are starting to be concerns about the impact of China though. It's too early to say what the impact might be, but China is powerful in garments, yarns and customers – and at the moment things are completely shut down for most people. If the economy there dips, it will be a big concern."
Mike Bennett, director, Bennett Silks
The show has been quieter than normal, but we did expect that because of coronavirus. Day one was a very average day in terms of footfall and day two has been a little slow so far. We see a mix of small designers and bigger names here, but we are seeing fewer UK buyers than we used to. They are going to the London Textile Fair instead.
The big topic of conversation over the past few years has been Brexit – if duties or taxes are introduced then we will lose all our European business as buyers will go for duty-free alternatives. There must be thousands of businesses in the same situation as us, and I can't believe the government would consider losing that trading relationship. It would be a disaster.
The main concern for a lot of people now is China and the impact of coronavirus. Around 95% of our silk yarn comes from China and, at the moment, there is a complete supply chain blockage, which is very concerning for a lot of people. Depending on how much longer there are issues, we could conceivably run out of our product – we do have backup stock, so we should be okay, but certain colours are running out. At the moment we are dyeing fabrics in Italy to replace the colours we can't get from China, but once that undyed stock runs out we will have a problem.
Speaking to contacts in China, a lot of the problem is that the workers simply cannot get to the factories. Often workers live far away from the factories, and went home for the Lunar New Year. They haven't been allowed to go back to the factories and if they do they are being kept in isolation and are not able to work.
Orla Bailie-Blackett, designer, Linton Tweeds
We do PV every year because everyone you want to see comes along. So far, we've had positive feedback and noticed a lot of people asking about sustainable aspects. We now have a sustainable range, so are able to offer options.
The shift in show dates for September will be tricky for us because of when the mills we use shut down [for summer holiday]. It will make things harder for us and we'll probably have to buy yarns an extra season ahead.
It was a lot quieter on the first day than normal, but it is busier today on the second day. We've seen many fewer international people travelling.
We have done the shows in Milan before, but we don't go any more as we didn't see enough of the right customers.

Minimalism as Less Elements

A Black and White Minimal Art Photograph of an Old Plastic Mesh Chair found at Jawahar Kala Kendra, Jaipur, India.
This Shot was captured near Art Gallery 1 at JKK. A security guard usually sits at the chair right in front of its entrance gate. When I was shooting, the guard had gone for a stroll.
As you can see in the shot, the wall has been used as foreground and that is the negative space here as well. To keep the wall and the elements on it in focus, I used a pretty high Aperture value i.e F/18.
By keeping the wall in the foreground and by cornering the Old Plastic Mesh Chair, I visually increased the focus on it.
By keeping the wall in the foreground and by cornering the Old Plastic Mesh Chair, I visually increased the focus on it.
Also, I captured the shot from a distance, so as to show the size of the chair relatively small.
That is pretty much about the shot and the composition in a few words. If you have any queries about the picture, send me an email. I don't promise to answer back all of the mails but I will try my best.
The EXIF Data of the Photo is as follows:
Camera Model: Canon EOS 6D Mark II
Lens: Canon 50 mm Prime Lens
F-stop: f/18
Shutter Speed: 1/60 sec.
ISO speed: ISO-3200

This Laptop is a powerful and good in-expensive option for some people looking something between a smartphone, handheld and Laptop.
Well it is actually a Laptop with no disk but with a 4 Gbytes flash memory (disk), and USB 2.0 lets you attach any other USB memory or an external disk to it.
It comes with Linux pre-loaded, with OpenOffice, of course it has WiFi so you can stay connected with your email, your blog, or anything you want (or need) to do before arriving your home or work.
It has half of the size of the average Laptop and weight less than 1 Kg, so it is ideal for people that also need to carry some other things such as books (students or teachers) for the average executive who carries lots of papers, like lawyers, or insurance agents.
According to users that have already bought it, it is really doing well.

Sharing media files efficiently
There are multiple aspects to managing and structuring (media) files for digital storage and distribution. One of them, access control, has been getting more important in recent years. Legislation is getting stricter (especially in the EU) and digital data breaches are an every-day occurrence. It's getting more important than ever to keep control over who has access to your files. Staying in control of your media while still being able to share it publicly is exactly where we can help you.
Share it selectively
We are big fans of the so-called "principle of least privilege": Don't give someone access to something they don't need to see. With MediaLab we provide two ways to implement this in your own Lab. First of all we have the 'user and group permissions' for internal users. You can fine-tune the access to a single folder if you want to. While it takes a bit more effort to set it up initially, taking the time to set this up will ensure your users, that they can only view and download the media they are supposed to.
But how are you going to share your media with customers, or the consultancy agency that are helping you on a project? For this group of external stakeholders, we provide a couple of ways to selectively share the media you want.

ABC To Fight Budget Cuts, Argues Regional Newsrooms At Stake
The ABC has found itself in a world of pain upon the hearing proposed Budget cuts to the broadcaster.
Tuesday's Budget included an $84 million cut to the ABC, which will be carried out through a freeze on the broadcaster's "indexing".
Now, ABC MD Michelle Guthrie, news director Gaven Morris and multiple senators have commented on the broadcaster's future.
Guthrie, for one, told ABC staff the broadcaster's execs would "oppose the decision and seek every opportunity to reverse the cuts in the coming months before they take effect".
Adding, "Let me be frank with you: I am very disappointed and concerned that after the measures we have introduced in recent years to deliver better and more efficient services, the government has now seen fit to deliver what amounts to a further substantial budget cut. This decision will make it very difficult for the ABC to meet its charter requirements and audience expectations."
"Unfortunately, the government has overlooked this contribution and the trust and value more than 80 per cent of Australians place in us as an independent national broadcaster," Guthrie said.
Meanwhile, Morris threatened the possibility of a cut to regional newsrooms, as well as a team of specialist investigative reporters.
Speaking to staff, Morris said, "Those services include regional newsgathering resources and suburban news bureaus in Geelong, Ipswich, Gosford and Parramatta, the ABC Investigations team, the Specialist Reporting Team, the RMIT ABC Fact Check unit and roles in every state and territory newsroom."
"Initially, the funding was $20 million but already, $6.5 million was cut two years ago. Now, the government has chosen to discontinue the rest of it from June 30, 2019."
"Resourcing decisions will be assessed ABC-wide, taking into account all of our organisational resources and priorities and those across News," he added.
Though, not everyone is onside.
Speaking on the cuts, Liberal Senator Eric Abetz said, "The ABC is highly privileged and its entitlement mentality is starting to wear thin."
"More seriously the intemperate threats from the ABC highlights the partisan nature of the ABC and the attitude it will take to the budget and the next election which is hardly that of an independent taxpayer-funded national broadcaster," he said.
Liberal MP Craig Kelly added, "All media organisations have had to endure cuts so why should the ABC be immune? To have such a generous budget and the increases they have enjoyed over the last decade makes it very difficult to see what they are complaining about."
Some of the ABC's own is taking the news a little more light-heartedly.
The social media team from ABC's Gruen Transfer have taken it upon themselves to provide some comic relief during the budget fiasco over Twitter.

However, ABC has found support in the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA), who yesterday made a statement on the cuts, labelling them "dangerous and irresponsible",
In the statement, the industry body said, "The Federal Budget's cut of $127 million from the ABC represents a dangerous and irresponsible assault on public broadcasting in Australia."

BEIRUT — In October, Alaa Abed, a former police investigator, became the chairman of the human rights committee in Egypt's Parliament. The majority bloc that supports President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, to which Mr. Abed belongs, ensured his victory by flooding the committee with loyalist members, a show of strength that led Mr. Abed's rivals to drop out.
His victory, technically within the Parliament's rules, demonstrated Egypt's take on "managed democracy," a term experts often use to describe Russia under President Vladimir V. Putin and other countries ruled by strongmen. It's a system in which elections and other formal trappings of democracy persist but lose their meaning; in reality, authority is centralized, often in the hands of security agencies.
In Egypt, managed democracy appears to be the Sisi administration's solution to a delicate problem: how, after removing his predecessor in a coup, Mr. Sisi can claim to oversee a democratic country without having to subject his government to any real opposition.
Mr. Abed's personal history has moved in parallel with the culture of police abuse and political corruption that rose to define Egyptian public life in the era that preceded the 2011 uprising, and which has made a comeback under Mr. Sisi.
In 2005, a detainee named Fakhry Azer alleged that a police captain and Mr. Abed had cuffed his hands behind his back, hung him from his feet, beaten him with a baton — including on his face — and tried to stuff a shoe into his mouth, according to a report that year by the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights. It was the kind of abuse routinely reported by Egyptian detainees, and Mr. Azer's family filed a complaint with prosecutors, who ordered him examined by forensic doctors.
The doctors, according to the report, stated that Mr. Azer's injuries had been caused by the impact of a solid object, but as with thousands of similar allegations made against the police in Egypt over the past decades, prosecutors never took the case to court.
Mr. Abed has not been convicted of any crime and has denied his involvement in torture. In public, he has characterized the allegations against him as "discrimination" and a "cold war" by those who don't want a former police officer leading the human rights committee. (He did not return several calls seeking comment for this article.)
Like many police officers in the era of former President Hosni Mubarak, Mr. Abed entered politics after retiring from service and joined Mr. Mubarak's National Democratic Party. In December 2010, he won a seat representing a working-class district of southern Cairo.
The violence and flagrant fraud that characterized that election and delivered Mr. Mubarak's party 83 percent of Parliament helped incite the uprising the following January, and after Mr. Mubarak fell, the council of generals that replaced him swiftly dissolved the Legislature.
In a recent interview with an Egyptian newspaper, Mr. Abed said that the vote had not represented "the will of the Egyptian people," and that many candidates had "won in a way we all know." He claimed he had been happy with Parliament's dissolution. Before the uprising, he allowed, there was a "degree of oppression" and "excesses of state security" — the fault of inexperienced officials who turned Egypt into "a police state."
But the aftermath of the uprising failed to transform the institutions of Mr. Mubarak's regime.
In 2015, Mr. Abed returned to Parliament following an election that marked the final stop on a "road map" promised by Mr. Sisi two years earlier.
After Mr. Sisi took over the country, the West at first hesitated to offer him a full embrace. But his road map promised a new constitution, political leaders and Parliament. The United States, content to ignore abuses like torture and enforced disappearances and eager to endorse elections as the sine qua non of democracy, seemed ready to play along.
The Sisi administration needed to satisfy Western enchantment with electoral democracy without investing elected officials with real power to contest the president's authority. Nor were the president and the rest of the security state in any mood for dissent. Protests had been banned and human rights groups put under investigation. The secret police had detained tens of thousands of critics and crushed the Muslim Brotherhood, Mr. Sisi's largest opposition.
According to reporting by Hossam Bahgat, one of Egypt's foremost investigative journalists, the country's powerful intelligence agencies — including military intelligence, which Mr. Sisi once led — constructed the new Parliament down to individual candidates.
Their essential task was to ensure a bloc of loyalists who could secure any decision requiring a two-thirds majority, such as extending a state of emergency or introducing a constitutional amendment. In essence, they would recreate the dissolved Parliament of 2010.
In this new Legislature, critics like Mohamed Anwar Esmat al-Sadat had no place.
"It is no secret to anyone that the state of human rights in Egypt requires considerable reassessment," Mr. Sadat, a member of Parliament and a nephew of President Anwar el-Sadat, who was assassinated in 1981, told a reporter as Parliament convened for the first time in January.
Mr. Sadat became the first chairman of the new Parliament's human rights committee, but it wasn't long before he began to spar with loyalist Parliament members, including the speaker, a member of the pro-Sisi bloc so protective of the state that he shouted down Mr. Sadat's critiques of the military and reportedly once told members of Parliament that "in tough times," the legislative and executive branches should work together "as a single authority."
When Mr. Sadat led a delegation to a human rights conference in Geneva in August, it prompted a wave of complaints from fellow members of Parliament who saw the act as disloyal, and he faced the prospect of a parliamentary investigation. Later that month, he resigned his leadership position.
The pro-Sisi coalition seized the opportunity. Mr. Abed declared his candidacy to replace Mr. Sadat, and his supporters exploited parliamentary bylaws to flood the committee, swelling it from 38 members to 64, larger than any committee in parliamentary history.
It was a move inspired by the old ruling party's playbook: In the 2000s, Mr. Mubarak had let the Muslim Brotherhood shout itself hoarse in Parliament but never gave it the chance to introduce laws or head a committee. With the Brotherhood crushed, the door has now closed on critics of all stripes.
Today, Mr. Sadat remains on the committee, but the experience has convinced him that championing human rights in Egypt's Parliament is a fool's errand. The security apparatus is stronger than ever, he told me. "They want to make sure that no one else will have a chance," he said.
Mr. Abed's era is back.
