ALION Project
ALION project develops an aluminium-ion battery technology for energy storage application in decentralised electricity generation sources.
ALION pursues an integral approach comprising electroactive materials based on "rocking chair" mechanism, robust ionic liquid-based electrolytes as well as novel cell and battery concepts.
This results in a technology with much lower cost, improved performance, safety and reliability with respect to current energy storage solutions
The project covers the whole value chain from materials and component manufacturers, battery assembler, until the technology validation in specific electric microgrid system including renewable energy source
The final objective of this project is to obtain an Al-ion battery module validated in a relevant environment, with a specific energy of 400 W.h/kg, a voltage of 48V and a cycle life of 3000 cycles.
A real potential has been identified in this promising research area with potentially great technological outcomes.
Rechargeable batteries are the most used energy storage options and many technologies in this field have emerged recently. But very few research projects focused on batteries combining aluminium and ion so far, as the technology is at its very beginning.
New material
To synthesize new materials for aluminium ion insertion, stable at room temperature for at least 3000 battery cycles which pose no health hazard
Create a numerical model
To develop a numerical electrochemical model for Al-ion battery to guide the materials search and battery design as well as increase the understanding of the internal electrochemical mechanisms.
Copy of Ionic liquid
To synthesize ionic liquid-based electrolytes with an ionic conductivity in the range of 1-10 mS/cm.
Al-ion battery cell
To assemble an Al-ion batterycell at lab scale with a capacity of 500 mA.h, a voltage >1V and an efficiency of 80%.
Assessment test
To carry out technical, economical and environmental assessment of the technology developed considering a safe-by-design approach to guide all developments within the project scope.
Scientific Evidence
To develop test cell arrays dedicated to the Al-ion battery materials to enable the High-throughput Screening of materials on full cell level.
To validate the technology with a battery module prototype tested in an electrical grid where a Li-ion battery is normally used.

Geigle, Klaus Peter and Lammel, Oliver (2007) Soot formation and oxidation in technical relevant burner geometries. Project Report.
Full text not available from this repository.
Swirl-stabilized, non-premixed fuel/air flames were investigated at pressures up to 9 bar in order to provide validation data for numerical simulations and to contribute to a better understanding of soot formation and oxidation under gas turbine like conditions. The flames had a thermal power of up to 45 kW and were confined by a squared combustion chamber with quartz windows. Secondary air could be injected into the post-flame zone to study the influence of cooling air on the oxidation of soot. The good optical access to the flame enabled the application of optical and laser measuring techniques. Temperatures were measured by coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) and soot concentrations by 2D laser induced incandescence (LII). The influence of the flow field characteristics, known from previous measurements in similar configurations, on the soot distributions could be analysed. Furthermore, the effects of pressure, equivalence ratio and secondary oxidation air on the instantaneous and mean soot distributions were studied. Additionally, conventional probing techniques were applied on the axis of the combustor. All measurements were performed under well-defined and documented conditions, so that the data sets are suitable for the validation of numerical simulations.

Roller Nut
Tony Iommi Pickups Magnum 4 and hyperflux 5 & Guitar Roller Nut – Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway Kit Update
Tony Iommi Pickups by John Birch – Amazing Upgrade
Tony Iommi Pickups were one of the few pickup's types missing to my arsenal of guitars. If you remember my previous article about my last build, I had installed Tonerider Rebel 90 pickups on it.
Everything was fine, and the beauty just sounded perfect. The only problem was, my SG equipped with neodymium Entwistle pickups have the same sound when set to split mode. Considering the SG has a Gibson scale and sports the same tremolo, it was a duplicate.
Why upgrading a brand new built?
Even if I look like a crazy shopaholic guitar collector, I'm not. I know I have way too many guitars, but still, each and every one of them is unique and sounds different from the other 19. I spend my time trying new mods on my test strat to make them as different as possible. I had probably rebuilt each of them 3 or 4 times already.
The Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway Kit was,… Continue reading
Electric Guitar Kit – Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway Kit – Tonerider Rebel 90 pickups & Artec BCU
Electric Guitar Kit
This article is about my latest build. A Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway Kit featuring two ToneRider Rebel 90 pickups and an Artec BCU.
The BCU is a Band Control Unit onboard frequency booster that I already reviewed on two different guitars in this article. Check it out if you want to have a deeper test of this unit.
The Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway Kit
I bought this kit on AliExpress for the small price of $179, shipping included.
The regular Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway Kit features only one P90 pickup routing, an Adjustable Wraparound Bridge, and a tiny cavity for two potentiometers only. A Volume and a Tone pot.
I knew before ordering that I'd be installing a Stetsbar tremolo that requires a Tune-o-Matic support (4 holes), two humbuckers and a four potentiometer electronic with a 3 position Metric Toggle Switch.
So, before ordering, I contacted the seller to know if he could do those mods for me and at what cost.

Fender LSR Roller Nut Instructions
How to install a Fender L.S.R Roller Nut on a Stratocaster
In this post, I'm going to cover how to install a Fender LSR roller nut on a strat.
Fender LSR roller nut instructions
It is a straight forward job easily attainable. Especially if you install it on a rosewood fingerboard. You only need a cutter, a file, a screwdriver and a drill with a small drill bit.
It is slightly more challenging if you want to place it on a maple neck because that type of wood is very hard. You need a Dremel to remove the extra bit of fingerboard. Using a file is going to take forever and trying to do it with a cutter isn't going to work. You can hurt yourself, break the cutter, or both.
You can achieve this task within 20 minutes. I already installed a Fender L.S.R Roller Nut on most of my Stratocaster, and it was always an easygoing duty.
To get a perfect tuning stability on a Stratocaster sporting a… Continue reading

Book Casting
Wizards can cast any spell in their book. They have to drop a spell of the appropriate level. They have to have their book out, which takes both of their hands. They spell takes longer to cast then usual. A standard action spell takes one full round action to cast. A full round action spell takes one minute to cast. Any other cast time is increased ten-fold.
Anything that can normally disrupt spell-casting will disrupt book casting. Since the spell requires instantaneously channeling one spell into another, it is very difficult to maintain concentration. The DC for any concentration check while Book Casting is increased by 5.
Domain Spells
Clerics no longer get bonus domain spells per day. Instead they may drop any of their normal spells to either of the Domain spells per that level. This brings their spell casting more in line with Wizards and Druids, who do not get the benefit of Domain Spells.
Sorcerer Casting
Sorcerer's are able to memorize a small number of spells in the same way that a wizard does. Sorcerers can use the bonus spells per day that they get from Charisma for this purpose. They cannot book cast. They must have the intelligence required to cast the spell in question.
Additionally, Sorcerers get a 0 entry at the highest level of spell at levels 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17. This gives them the ability to cast 1 spell per day if they have enough Charisma to get a bonus spells of those levels. This gives them access to spells at roughly the same rate as Wizards, Clerics, and Druids.
Wild Magic
Any time a caster rolls a 1 or a 20 on his magical effect role, unpredictable things happen.

The science program and target lists for K2 Campaign 16 have now been posted on the approved targets & programs page.
Campaign 16 is scheduled to run from 2017 Dec 7 (~22h UT) through 2018 Feb 25 (~13h UT). The target list includes 29,888 standard long cadence and 129 standard short cadence targets located towards the constellation of Cancer. The list includes 20,647 stars alongside 9,241 galaxies for the supernova experiment.
Uniquely, the spacecraft will be pointing along the forward-facing direction of the spacecraft's velocity vector during this Campaign, which allows the field to be accessed from Earth. This enables K2's single-bandpass photometry to be complemented with simultaneous observations from the ground, an opportunity that is being utilised by many of the selected programs, e.g. to characterize supernovae in the field, and to carry out simultaneous high-precision RV observations alongside K2's photometry.
The field contains two important clusters: M44 (Beehive) and M67. M44 is one of the most nearby open clusters; its members are being observed using standard masks. M67 is a benchmark cluster with solar-like age and metallicity; the stars in its core are being observed using a 400-by-360 pixel custom mask that covers the same area of the sky that was previously covered by a 400-by-400 pixel custom mask in Campaign 5, except for a 40px-wide strip that is not on silicon in C16. In addition, hundreds of members in the outskirts of M67 are being targeted using standard long cadence masks, and 39 members are targeted using short cadence masks.
Other notable targets in Campaign 16 include:
- Dozens of exoplanets and exoplanet candidates revealed by K2 Campaign 5, including several discovered in the Beehive cluster (K2-101b, K2-102b, K2-103b, K2-104b, EPIC 211901114b) and the confirmed hot Jupiter K2-34b.
- Nearby late-type flare stars including LHS 2090 (M6.5), DP Cnc (M3.5), DS Cnc (M4), and AZ Cnc (M6).
- 9 very bright stars are being observed using custom circular masks, including HD 76333 and 45 Cancri in short cadence, and α, δ, η, and ξ Cancri in long cadence.
- 19 Solar System objects including asteroid Hekate, comets 288P and 2009 YD7, 4 Trojan asteroids, and 12 Trans-Neptunian Objects.
Finally, a consequence of the forward-facing geometry is that our own Earth-Moon system will be moving across the focal plane during the first 3.5 days of the Campaign. We warn that our planet's passage will add noise to multiple CCD channels due to scattered light and saturation effects. Ground-based observers may wish to wait for Earth to leave the focal plane on 2017-Dec-11 near 6h UT to commence their complementary observations. By this time, the mission's engineers will also have been able to confirm the accuracy of Kepler's pointing.
Earth and Moon will be captured by the first Full Frame Image (FFI), which is scheduled for 2017-Dec-10 between 21:38 and 22:08 UT. In addition, a narrow custom LC mask will cover Earth's trajectory between 2017-Dec-07 17:00 and 2017-Dec-08 03:00 UT, which is when Earth will occult the Moon as seen from Kepler. Don't forget to smile and wave towards the constellation of Capricornus near these times, which is where Kepler will be located while it is observing our planet!
The figures below illustrates the location of the field and its notable targets.

My friend, the novelist, screenwriter and critic Gilbert Adair died last week at the age of 66. He had been frail for the last year after suffering a stroke, which took much of his sight and deprived him of his chief pleasures of reading, writing and watching films, as well as a means of making money.
But the year of living with the effects of a stroke taught him a lot about the tenderness of strangers as he made his way through half-a-dozen London hospitals.
Gilbert was an extraordinarily fastidious and cerebral person, who veered towards scepticism and a wry suspicion that life always disappointed in the end. Yet this discovery that kindness was the rule rather than the exception in the scores of people who treated and helped him over the year was a revelation. Here was a truth about humanity, which he confessed had escaped him, and he told his friends with an almost Tolstoyan zeal that he wanted to write a long article or perhaps even a book about it.
But writing for him was an activity that required the greatest possible precision. He devoted an obsessive care to the look of the page. Before the arrival of computers, he used to justify the right hand margin: if a word didn't fit he would change the word or sentence so that there was no hyphen.
It seemed insane to me, yet it was evidence of an exacting nature and of his dedication to the language and effect he wanted to achieve.
Writing was about the flow of ideas between his mind and the page; it was as much about forging ahead as going back to refine, correct and allow what he had written to suggest new ideas. Although he had been working on film treatments over the last few months, he was absolutely certain that he could not actually write without seeing his words, any more than an artist struck by blindness could paint from life.
This was a tragedy for my friend and he never did describe the transforming experience of being on the receiving end of so much compassion. So this piece is intended to put on record something important that he wanted to say, although I cannot mimic his style or know all the examples he would have used.
In the depth of last winter, he surfaced from unconsciousness and was moved from intensive care to a high-dependency unit in St Mary's, Paddington. Almost the first coherent conversation I had with him was about a male nurse from Barbados, who looked after him for 12 hours a day, washed him, fed him and talked to him. Gilbert could see very little at that stage and he asked me to describe this man, who struck him as some kind of saint. I said he was tall, grave and had a reassuring manner. Gilbert wanted more: surely there was evidence of saintliness in his appearance. No, I said, he was an ordinary-looking guy.
Gilbert thought for a moment and said something to this effect: "You see, when he cleans me up he somehow allows me to keep my dignity. That kind of respect requires empathy of an extraordinary level. And I'm just one of hundreds of patients that he has bathed and done this for. This is certainly a kind of love." It was then, when he hoped to regain his sight, that he said he was going to write about this man and the business of being washed daily.
Gilbert was remarkably unsqueamish about the physical side of life and would have been unnervingly frank about the process.
We read a lot that is negative about the NHS – the waste of money on a computerised records system, the unimaginable problems of making the whole service work and the examples of negligence and contempt for people's feelings, especially the bereaved. But for Gilbert, the NHS was a very good experience and I know that the large group of close friends, who visited him until his release in the early summer, were also impressed.
There were doctors who were too brisk on the subject of his future and nurses who were having a bad day, but the overall standard of care was very good indeed and Gilbert, always extremely doubtful about British institutions and the system, had quite a few of his ideas changed by the experience.
The health service is portrayed as an intractable managerial nightmare. We spend so much time deploring the waste and inefficiency that we often forget that at the heart of the whole unwieldy system is a routine compassion, which is simply magnificent. And even more remarkable is that we attempt to guarantee this consideration to every person in the country who needs care.
In May, Gilbert wanted a friend to sit in on a care meeting to discuss his needs when he left stroke rehabilitation, so I went along. He was in low spirits and couldn't see much point in getting better (I know that he would be candid about this too). What was impressive was that the five carers had not only acquired a complete grasp of his financial and domestic circumstances and his medical history, but that they had bothered to come to grips with Gilbert's singularity – his great intelligence and wit, as well as the evidence of considerable philosophical despair. They listened and took him seriously, in other words showed him respect and patience, however rarefied he might have seemed.
He listened too. He was fascinated by the people he found in hospital, by the other patients, but more particularly by the lives of the nurses, many of whom were born outside Britain and who had stories to tell, which Gilbert, a really wonderful conversationalist as well novelist, would patiently draw out.
On Thursday night, as Gilbert lay dying at St Mary's from a very serious brain haemorrhage, I was struck that the doctors and nurses who had been so determined to save him 13 months before were equally passionate about making him comfortable at the end, even in the hectic circumstances of a casualty department late at night. They found him a room, where he slipped away in the care of an extraordinarily nice Filipino nurse, who, as the night wore on, talked to me and Gilbert's friend Clive Hirschhorn about her life and her children. It was exactly the right and natural thing to do and Gilbert would have appreciated her exquisite sense of what was needed in that moment.
Gilbert wanted all this and much more to be said about the ordinary kindness he encountered over the last year. He will be missed greatly by his admirers and friends for his unique intelligence, talent and delightful company. He leaves a void, in more ways than one.

Marketing is a lot like fishing. Hopefully prospective customers have a more positive experience than a captured trout. But similarities certainly exist between angling for fish and angling for leads:
Of course, some marketers prefer to do their fishing a bit differently. Instead of baiting a hook to catch a specific kind of fish, they rely on nets. By casting a wide net over a large area of water, they're able to drag a much larger selection of possible leads back onto the boat.
Unfortunately, along with the valuable prospects that are likely to convert, these marketers also spend their energy dragging in plenty of less-interested buyers as well. Once the good leads have been separated out from all the rest, marketers may find that they're expending a lot of effort for very little reward. After all, there are a lot of fish in the sea, but most of them aren't the prize catch.
A wide net isn't necessarily a bad thing, but to really ensure that you're getting the most out of your marketing efforts, you need to target your customers more specifically. For that, you need to consider your approach to market segmentation.
Market segmentation is a technique used to enable a business to better target its products or services to the right customer. It's the marketing equivalent of fly fishing — you gather data to the point where you know exactly what kind of campaign your target lead is going to be most interested in.
To do this, you must identify the specific needs and wants of customer groups and use those insights to provide products and services that meet those customer needs. Used well, market segmentation makes it possible for you to market the right products to the right audience, no matter who that audience may be.
Of course, if you trade the imprecise wide range of the net approach for a highly targeted process that only reaches a single lead, then you're not much better off. Therefore, the key to effective market segmentation is to reach a large number of prospects, and to have each prospect feel as though they are being addressed personally. That way, you get the range of the net with the precision of the hook. To do that, you need the right tools.
Providing 1-to-1 marketing journeys for each and every qualified lead may seem like an exercise in futility, but the truth is that it's not only possible, it's quickly becoming expected.
According to the fourth annual "State of Marketing" report, 60% of B2B marketers say they've been more focused on improving audience segmentation and personas over the past 18 months. Additionally, 52% of consumers are likely to switch brands if a company doesn't make an effort to personalize its communications to them.
The solution, then, is to rely on advanced CRM-enhanced technology to capture, analyze, and recall essential customer data. With that data as part of the marketing tackle box, and with each individual piece of contact information kept organized and available on a reliable data platform, marketers can give leads the personal attention they deserve, and do so across as wide an audience as necessary.
Here are some of the specific features that make this possible:
There may always be commonalities between marketing and fishing. However, while fishermen need to make the choice between the precision of the baited hook and the wide range of the net, marketers get to enjoy the advantages of both. With the help of cloud-based, CRM-enhanced marketing platforms, marketers can segment their audience based on reliable, actionable data insights, and then employ advanced automation technologies to give every audience member a hyperpersonalized marketing experience.
Market segmentation gives you the power to market to all of the fish in the sea, and to do so in a way that is targeted, precise, and effective. Check out Salesforce Marketing Cloud today and see for yourself how effective segmented marketing can be.

I believe sports offers us many metaphors that help us frame life. The Red Sox's come from behind victory last week, and their sweep of the World Series, after so many years of loss and heartache, is simply inspirational.
But don't get ahead of yourselves Beantown. No Super Bowl for you. It's the Philadelphia Eagles all the way.

The Pipeline
Buying a second business, and then starting to clean up
There's ample evidence that the sweet, shaved-ice treat called a snow cone first appeared in Baltimore late in the 19th century. By the 1920s, shaved ice had traveled to the Deep South, where it remains a popular—and inexpensive—indulgence.
"There are snow shacks on every corner," offers Linnea Black, a Kona Ice franchisee in Jackson, Mississippi. "They love their sugar around here." Mississippi, by the way, has the highest rate of obesity in the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
That love is helping fuel Black's franchise. Since launching her mobile shaved-ice business in the fall of 2012, the transplanted Yankee has added a second full-sized truck and two mini-trucks. The tropical-themed trucks, which can cost upwards of $100,000, feature a self-serve system that allows customers to add flavors to the ice.
To make money, franchisees typically roll their trucks up to schools and other fund-raising events that have contracted for their services. Some franchisees randomly seek business driving around neighborhoods.
"In my first year, I wanted to be everywhere," recalls Black, who moved to the Magnolia State from Chicago eight years ago.
Today, with several contracts in hand, Black estimates she spends $800 a month on gasoline, pumping most of it into the Toyota Tundra that pulls her two mini-trucks to events. Her ice bill (she buys from self-service stations) runs $600 every 30 days. She also rents warehouse space for her growing fleet. (Many franchisees park their vehicles at home. Black's condo association nixed that idea.)
Black, a savvy woman who has kept an event-marketing company afloat through the recession, believes "you have to put yourself out at first. Like Anthony Robbins says, 'Picture yourself losing money for the first year because you'll be learning the business.' You can't be afraid of that," she adds, referring to the life coach.
Black is not. Early this year, for example, she wrote a big check to land a concession deal at a minor-league ballpark in Jackson, the state capital. She also paid $5,000 to be the preferred fund-raiser at athletic events throughout Jackson Public Schools, the state's second largest school system.
A partnership with a Backyard Burgers franchisee at a softball-field concession costs her 25 percent of sales. "My food cost is so low I still make a profit," maintains Black, adding the burger franchisee has since partnered with her at other events.
Although her franchise grossed just $270,000 in its first year, she believes she's built a foundation within a state whose culture rewards loyalty while relying on relationships.
Business by necessity
Felix Lopez and Christina Sahib are also in building mode, literally. In mid-November, they were days away from opening the first of five FroZenYo units, this one in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. The small island, roughly 35 miles from the east end of Puerto Rico, is the spot where cruise ships dock, spilling passengers eager to see the historic colonial section.
Like Linnea Black, the husband-and-wife team also operates another business, a local civil engineering and architecture firm. As a master franchisee of the Washington, D.C.-based self-serve yogurt concept, the couple intends to offer construction services to sub-franchisees. They inked their first sub-franchise deal last fall.
"That was one of the reasons to be master franchisees," says Lopez, "to help others build their stores. It's optional for franchisees, but most will like to do it this way because it will speed things up."
The couple also hired the real-estate firm Trading Places. "Real estate is key, and our broker has lots of experience with Starbucks, Marshalls and T.J. Maxx," Lopez says.
The couple decided to buy a yogurt franchise when Puerto Rico's economy, as Sahib says, "was going down, in case we needed a new business." Neither of them has experience operating a foodservice enterprise; nor did they consider another type of franchise. In fact, they believe the country's market for yogurt has yet to hit its stride because only a few competitors have opened stores.
Puerto Rico's insolvency could nonetheless keep it that way for years to come. Its $70 billion debt (thanks to a government borrowing binge) has led to high unemployment (14 percent) and food stamps dependency (25 percent of the country's 3.6 million people use them). Four percent of the population has fled the island in the last 10 years, according to BloombergBusinessweek.
Oddly, that's not necessarily bad news for Lopez and Sahib. "Many business people are trying to make a new business," Lopez says, presumably for the same reason the couple is.
The duo self-financed their first location, which should benefit from scads of cruise ships. With "high season" getting underway last November, Lopez estimated his FroZenYo would ring up some 500-plus transactions daily.
Cleaning up
Renue Systems franchisee Bobby Lopez (no relation) is also in the process of expanding his 3-year-old hotel-cleaning operation. "My business depends on hotels being able to make enough money to use an outside company for cleaning," he says.
Apparently, that hasn't proven to be a big issue in San Antonio, Texas, which hosted 22.3 million leisure visitors in 2011, more than half staying overnight, according to a 2012 regional study of the lodging industry (the most recent available). Business meetings added another 5.6 million people the same year, the study said.
Lopez, who earned a degree in hotel and restaurant management, began his career in restaurants before switching to hotels. While he was working in Baton Rouge, a carpet-cleaning vendor convinced him to open the same type of business in Texas, where Lopez grew up.
"For the first six months it was a little scary, with business up and down," says Lopez, who started from scratch. "Then we got our biggest customer, a Marriott property."
Lopez, who qualifies as a minority-business owner, has since purchased new territories from the Lombard, Illinois-based franchisor. Minority status improves his chances of getting business from large hotel chains that prefer to work with small outfits.
Today, his crews clean hotels in Houston and south Texas. Lopez also employs a local salesperson to call hotels in far-flung areas. Last year, Lopez adds, he billed clients a million dollars and hopes to add another million in sales in 2014.

On this day 124 years ago, Charles Spurgeon passed away. He is one of the most famous ministers in history, but no one alive today truly knows what the great "Prince of Preachers" sounded like; no recordings of his more than 3,500 sermons exist. Nevertheless, an obscure project undertaken by a famous inventor may provide a clue.
Read on to learn more and listen to the recording for yourself.
Hearing the prince
In 1876, the parents of a young man from England sent their son to Australia in order to recuperate from an unknown sickness that had plagued him for years. He didn't relish the journey, later remarking, "Life on a ship was like going to prison, with the added chance of being drowned."
Upon arriving in the former penal colony, Thomas began preaching in the countryside to anyone who would listen. He eventually left Australia and made his way to New Zealand where he became pastor of a small church in Auckland. Under his leadership, the church grew rapidly, coming to occupy an auditorium-style building which seated 1,200. Because of its rapid expansion and to align the name with his father's famous megachurch in England, Thomas renamed the church the "Auckland Tabernacle."
Thomas led the church for nine years, but the disease he'd sought to escape had followed him to New Zealand. Regretful, he relinquished the pulpit to another. Known for his unwillingness to be idle, he continued to preach to anyone who would listen.
The voice of his father
When Thomas' father died, the Baptist preacher returned to England to take over his father's pastoral duties. Thomas' ministry was filled with both successes and setbacks. The biggest challenge came in 1898 when a fire completely destroyed the church; the only pieces left standing were the outside walls. The church would eventually open to massive crowds excited for its rededication.
Around this time, the famous inventor Thomas Edison asked Thomas to recite a portion of his father's final sermon for a recording. He gladly accepted the request and recorded the final words that Charles Spurgeon, his father, had preached in the Metropolitan Tabernacle in 1891. The recording survives to this day and provides the closest thing to hearing the voice of the Prince of Preachers.
Listen to the recording for yourself!
Thomas Spurgeon pastored the church his father founded for 14 years, before retiring from ministry. He had given the world a window into the life of Charles Spurgeon by donating his voice, a precious gift for all of those enriched by the ministry of his father.
Thomas' legacy lives on in New Zealand; the Auckland Baptist Tabernacle still thrives today, offering multiple services, including one in Mandarin.
Want to explore Charles Spurgeon's ministry more in depth? Pick up The Complete Spurgeon Sermon Collection (63 vols.) in Logos, and you'll get over 3,550 sermons, each of which are fully searchable. Anytime you're studying a passage or topic, you can find what Spurgeon preached about it in seconds—without pulling a single book off the shelf.

I'd been a substitute teacher for a number of years before I signed on as an special education technician at Whittier Middle School. I truly enjoy working with all age groups, and had worried a little about settling down with only the 7th and 8th grades. But I had nothing to fear. Middle-schoolers are silly, fun, caring, dramatic, sarcastic and smart. I learn something new every day!
I was blessed to be paired in a classroom with Shannon Shanning. I've learned so much from her! Every day, I witness her uncanny ability to get to the heart of what each student needs in order to be a successful learner. Then she goes above and beyond to make sure they get that type of learning. Shannon also believes in connecting her students to the community. Is it any wonder she was named Maine's 2013 Teacher of the Year? Click here to follow her journey.
One of my favorite lessons to teach is writing strategies (I bet you wouldn't have guessed that, would you?) Quite often I use one of my own stories as an example on how to gather ideas, do research or create a character. Last year especially, I highlighted the similarities between their classroom writing and the process I used to write Cooper. The students asked very good questions, like: How many times did you have to rewrite it? How long did it take you to write 35,000 words anyway? How the heck did you ever fiiiiind 35,000 words to write? How do you choose the storyline? The characters? Do you really have to do research? Whoa, you make more mistakes than we do, Mrs. Wight! (after seeing a manuscript full of critique notes from a writing friend)
Every now and again they'd ask if I'd heard anything from the publishers I submitted to. "Why does it take so long?" they'd ask over and over again. I warned them they could be graduated from high school before I sold a novel, but they'd just wrinkled their noses and laugh at me.
In the fall of 2012, I couldn't wait to announce that Cooper and Packrat had sold to Islandport Press over the summer. These kids are some of my biggest cheerleaders. And there's even a few of last years eighth graders who came back from the high school to congratulate me. Soooo many hugs!
Already the new wave of questions flow: How come it won't come out till August? Will it be an e-book? Will it have pictures? Can we read it first? Pleeeeeease??
*rubbing hands together* So for them to now go through this final process with me . . . it's going to be so awesome! It'll be more fun than doing it from my quiet, winter, campground office, that's for sure.
You'll find curriculum guides for The Three Grumpies and Cooper and Packrat in the drop down menu for this page. Shannon Shannning and I have tested most of them on our students. Please drop me a line if you use any of them. I'd love to hear all about it!

A blast at one coal mine in eastern Ukraine and an elevator collapse at
another killed at least 19 people. Rescuers were still searching for a total
20 miners missing at both mines. The pre-dawn blast at the notoriously
dangerous Suhodilska-Eastern mine in the Luhansk region killed 17 workers
and left nine missing. Investigators suspect the accident was caused by a
powerful explosion of methane.

English Premier League soccer clubs spent a record 835 million pounds ($1.4 billion) on hiring players during the summer transfer window as they reinvested cash from the latest round of broadcast deals.
That total was almost double the 425 million paid out by teams in Spain's La Liga, the next highest spending country, according to figures released by business services group Deloitte on Tuesday.
The Premier League generates more money than any domestic soccer competition while Spain is home to Real Madrid and Barcelona, the two clubs who enjoy the highest revenues thanks to the way television cash is distributed.
Manchester United, English champions a record 20 times, spent around 150 million pounds as new manager Louis van Gaal tries to ensure there is no repeat of last season's disappointing seventh place finish.
Teams in Europe's main leagues had until late on Monday to finalize their squads for the next few months, leading to frenzied trading in the final few hours of the transfer window. Clubs cannot buy new players again until January.
"We continue to see the increased resources that Premier League clubs enjoy, as a result of improved broadcast deals, translate into investment in players," said Deloitte's Dan Jones.
He warned clubs of the need to ensure they did not overspend in the quest for a place in the European Champions League or to retain their spot in the Premier League.
"The key challenge remains pursuing their ambitions responsibly," he said.
"We hope that while increased revenues continue to allow the league to attract top players, they will also result in a more profitable picture across the league in the years to come."
TV Competition
Competition in Britain between BSkyB and BT has driven up the value of television rights, while the Premier League also benefits from lucrative TV deals around the rest of the world.
The average Premier League team received an additional 25 million pounds in TV money in 2013-14, the first fruits of a new three-year agreement.
English clubs are confident that TV revenues will remain buoyant in future contracts and have spent accordingly.
"There is this feeling that they can spend today based on what they will get tomorrow," said Simon Chadwick, professor of sports business at Coventry University in central England.
He also said the World Cup in Brazil this summer had also driven the market, providing a showcase for the top players.
"In the aftermath of every World Cup, you always get this spike in transfer activity," he said.
Two of the biggest headline makers from the World Cup moved to Spain, deals which helped to finance other moves in a ripple effect across the continent.
Colombian James Rodriguez, top goal scorer at the World Cup, joined Real Madrid from Monaco for some 80 million euros ($105 million), while Uruguay's Luis Suarez, thrown out of the tournament for biting an opponent, moved to Barcelona from Liverpool for around 65 million pounds.
Away from England and Spain, spending by teams in other top European leagues was more muted. It totaled 260 million pounds in Italy's Serie A, 250 million in the German Bundesliga and only 100 million in France's Ligue 1.

Campus Pride, the organization behind the Campus Pride Index, a national listing of LGBT-friendly U.S. colleges, quietly launched a spin-off in June.
The new Campus Pride Sports Index, in development since 2001, is a resource that helps colleges self assess how welcoming and inclusive their athletic programs are for LGBT students. The same team that launched the main Campus Pride Index, which averages about 80,000 unique visitors per month, also worked on the Sports Index and said there is a need for a separate gauge for athletics.
"Singling out sports in particular is important because it is one of those areas of campus life that has not been as LGBT-inclusive generally as other areas have been," says Genny Beemyn, a gender nonconforming author and academic who helped edit the responses. "On a lot of campuses, especially at very large universities, sports are a big part of campus life so we want to make sure that LGBT students are treated equally and feel welcome when they participate."
Participation is voluntary for schools. To begin, a campus official creates an account and takes an online assessment that involves about 50 questions that correspond to five different LGBT-friendly factors. It doesn't have to be completed in one sitting as sometimes officials have to conduct research to answer some of the questions accurately.
Once completed, the official receives a confidential report of the responses along with results and recommendations. Each school may decide how much of the information it wants to have posted online. The index measures policy, program and practice and asks questions such as, "Is there ongoing training for full-time staff that's inclusive of sexual orientation," "Is there a visible reporting mechanism for responding to anti-LGBT harassment, verbal conduct or practices," "Is there private changing space and showers in locker rooms for transgender participants" and so on.
The survey can be conducted at any time of the academic year. Schools are ranked by earning up to five medals. California State University in Chico, Calif., for instance, has two-and-a-half medals on the index. There's no cost for colleges to participate.
So far just 14 schools have completed the assessment but Campus Pride officials hope to have about 100 colleges included by year's end. The June launch was considered a "soft opening." Campus Pride workers hope to launch the new index with more fanfare this fall, perhaps with a tie in to a major college football program or event.
"We tend to think of colleges as these liberal bastions that have all these progressive policies, but only about 20 percent of U.S. colleges even have a basic non-discrimination policy in place that's inclusive of sexual orientation," says Shane Windmeyer, co-founder and executive director of Campus Pride. "It's even lower around gender identity and expression."
Unlike, for example, the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index, an annual report of businesses and their LGBT policies or lack thereof, both the Campus Pride Index and the Sports Index are voluntary.
"It's not really our purpose to rank schools on our own," Windmeyer says. "The Sports Index gives them the opportunity to come out as LGBTQ-friendly, just like an individual has to live openly and come out. We don't think it's our job to go to a school and rate them unless they're willing to do it. And they have to think about what message not participating sends to prospective students as well. If your college doesn't have the time to participate, then why would you want to go there?"
Schools can improve over time. On the Campus Pride Index, Windmeyer says some schools came back in subsequent years and about 80 percent that returned improved in at least one area. He knows of one college in Ohio that included improving on the index as one goal in its official strategic plan for diversity. Although the Sports Index is new, Windmeyer says he anticipates it will be used as a similar benchmark in coming years.
Windmeyer says early feedback has been positive.
"The Sports Index has been an invaluable tool to the University of Richmond as we continue to ensure all of our campus is inclusive of the LGBTQ community," says Ted Lewis, associate director of Common Ground for LGBTQ Campus Life at the University of Richmond. "We are very proud of our three-and-a-half medal ranking and the beauty of the assessment is we now have tangible next steps to continue our journey of full inclusion in varsity athletics and recreation sports."
