Due to the time constraints and design requirements of the project an agile development approach was utilized to ensure multiple design iterations could be fabricated and tested. Ultimately, we decided on a multi-tiered design with a custom flywheel shooter. A lower platform was placed below the drivetrain of the bot to house all electromagnetic sensing circuitry.
The main design goal of the chassis was to provide a rigid foundation that provided ample mounting space for the various subsystems. The chassis was created out of laser-cut duron due to the ease of fabrication. Standoffs were used to create a multi-level chassis, allowing for the mounting of the drive-train, electronics, and the shooter. All required subsystems were packaged and arranged to keep the center of mass over the wheels and as low as possible. Two drive wheels were mounted centered on the robot to minimize the difference between driving forward and reverse. Cantilevered spring steel was used as suspension for two caster wheels mounted at the front and rear. This ensured the robot was fully supported at all times, allowing for smoother driving.
The power train consisted of two DC motors powered by two NiMH rechargable batteries. The DC motors were connected with flexible couplers to ¼ inch shafts which were mounted on the 4 inch wheels. The ¼ inch shaft was supported by pillow bearings at each end to take the load off of the motor shaft. The motors were mounted with off-the-shelf mounts and custom duron shims to ensure proper fit and shaft alignment.
The goal of the shooter was to be robust and consistent at various shooting distances. To achieve the design goals while maintaining simplicity, a flywheel-style shooter was chosen. The design consisted of a flywheel driven by a DC motor mounted to a fully enclosed ramp. The shooter was fabricated out of duron utilizing a kerf cut on the ramp to ensure the desired launch angle was achieved. The motor was mounted to the shooter side walls with custom 3D printed parts to ensure the desired flywheel position was achieved. An optical encoder was mounted to the shaft of the motor to implement PD speed control to ensure consistent shooting at various distances.
The design goal of the loading mechanism was to accurately dispense one ball at a time while adding as little energy to the ball's motion as little as possible. To achieve the design goals, a custom laser cut duron attachment was fit to a servo motor.
Per the project requirements the entire robot robot can fit inside of a 12 inch cube.

WHO is urging countries in Europe to join together to help control the measles outbreak that has grown to more than 6,500 cases in 33 countries and the potential for worsening outbreaks “in the days ahead as people travel during the Easter holidays,” U.N. News Centre reports (4/21).
Worldwide measles kills 200,000 children per year,Â Al-Jazeera English reports in a video (Brennan, 4/21). “The disease can be prevented through a safe and effective vaccine, and immunization campaigns worldwide have helped millions of children in high-risk areas. The number of deaths from measles slumped by an estimated 78 percent between 2000 and 2008,” U.N. News Centre adds (4/21).Â Al-Jazeera EnglishÂ describes how public fears of the measles mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine likely contributed to the rise of measles cases now being seen in Europe (4/21).
“With shared borders and considerable population movement, countries share health threats,” Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO regional director for Europe, said, according to U.N. News Centre. “There is a need to create strong partnerships to prevent and control diseases, such as measles, in our region,” she added (4/21).
Jakab’s statements come ahead of Immunization Week, which kicks off Saturday in 180 countriesÂ and territories across the world, according to a WHO press release. The week will include educational materials on vaccines; programs for health workers; discussions between policymakers, health professionals and members of the community; “and vaccination campaigns to protect vulnerable populations against diseases such as diphtheria, hepatitis B, influenza, measles, mumps, maternal and neonatal tetanus, polio, rubella, whooping cough and yellow fever,” according to the release.
“[W]ith all the positive cooperation, innovation and collaboration that exist, we are at risk of losing many of the gains that have been made and forgoing the additional benefits that are within reach,” WHOÂ Director-General Margaret Chan said, pointing to the recent polio and measles outbreaks in various parts of the world. “I believe Immunization Week will have a significant impact on emphasizing the need to remain vigilant against vaccine-preventable diseasesÂ â€“ even those that we do not see within our communities,” she said (4/21).

NASA – Latest images of dwarf planet, Ceres, captured by Spacecraft Dawn shows two mystique bright spots on the surface of outermost planet which revolves around the Sun. These new bright spots that are still a mystery, has left the top astronomers scratching their head in-order to find an explanation of those bright spots.
The biggest of all heavenly bodies between Mars and Jupiter, Ceres, though not large enough to be called a planet is surely a large asteroid which has evoked a lot of interest among the stargazers, both professional (astronomers) and amateur. For now a dwarf planet, two interesting things in its surface have generated considerable interest- and those are two bright spots on its face.
The discovery of those spots has already led the geeks to wonder whether they can be construed as signs of intelligent life, some nuclear testing conducted by a far away species or perhaps something as mundane as the eruption of a volcano on another heavenly body. The mystery surrounding the bright spots on Ceres continues to deepen as a NASA probe gets closer to the dwarf planet.
NASA’s Dawn spacecraft is scheduled to arrive in orbit around Ceres on the night of March 5. Pictures sent by it reveal a puzzling bright spot on the dwarf planet’s surface and perhaps a companion too.
“Ceres’ bright spot can now be seen to have a companion of lesser brightness, but apparently in the same basin. This may be pointing to a volcano like origin of the spots, but we will have to wait for better resolution before we can make such geologic interpretations,” said Dawn principal investigator Chris Russell, of UCLA, in a statement.
The pictures taken by the Dawn on Feb 19 when it was a good 29,000 miles (46,000 kilometers) away from the Ceres are still too distant to give scientists a good look at the peculiar spots.
“The brightest spot continues to be too small to resolve with our camera, but despite its size, it is brighter than anything else on Ceres,” Andreas Nathues, lead investigator.
The Dawn will reach the Ceres orbit next week after which the probe will spend about six weeks working down to its first science orbit, getting there on April 23.
The $466 million spacecraft will then study Ceres from a series of orbits until June 2016. After that, the mission will come to an end.

Winter is definitely here and the house is abuzz with excitement over the new Hineni House Christmas tree, which will be decorated very soon!
Some surprising news we've received is that one of our residents has accepted a very exciting position in the UK! We will miss Miranda very much, but this is sure to be the beginning of an incredible time in her life!
Since she will be leaving us, that means as of January 1st we are going to have a room available! Do consider applying and becoming a part of the Hineni House community!
On Friday October 13th Hinenites travelled to beautiful Gibson's to have a retreat at Consolation House, which is run by Pastor Brian Heinrich and his partner Nathan Strijack working out of their repurposed Orthodox monastery.
We arrived after dark to the peal of the monastery bell and the toasty warmth of the wood-burning stove at Consolation House, which one resident excitedly described as “Instagram worthy.” Our time together began with a wonderful chocolate cake, baked by Heidi, to celebrate Jason Brown's recent successful defense of his dissertation!
In the morning several of us gathered in the tiny Consolation House chapel to have Morning Prayer. We used Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals, a wonderful resource put out by members of the new monastic movement. We emerged to an amazing breakfast, only the first in a series of astonishingly generous and delicious meals.
We then gathered downstairs to share our spiritual autobiographies, which all did with sacred honesty and openness. A few tears were shed, and the response in one instance, which left my heart most warmed, was, “You don't have to apologize for your feelings or your tears here.” I have rarely felt so honoured to be among holy people.
The following passages were read over the course of the day in three separate sessions, with the accompanying questions asked after each presentation.
I wonder what God's kingdom is.
I wonder what God's kingdom feels like within a person.
I wonder why people might think that God's kingdom is in the sky or the sea.
“It will not come by watching for it. It will not be said, 'Look, here!' or 'Look, there!' Rather, God's kingdom is spread out upon the earth, and people don't see it.
I wonder what God's kingdom looks like.
I wonder why people don't see it.
I wonder why God would spread it out upon the earth.
I wonder why the disciples were asking about the end.
I wonder what it means for the end to be where the beginning is.
I wonder what it means to stand at the beginning.
After each presentation, all of us were given the chance to respond in some way. In proper Godly Play style, I asked each person specifically what they would do. Some caught up on their sleep, wrote in journals, coloured some colouring pages I had brought, or went for a walk around the property. There is a beautiful path leading up to a fantastic lookout that several folks enjoyed.
We were treated to a magnificent lunch, and some time with our hosts, who told about their adventures living in the monastery and having guests. We also had a tour of the monastery itself, and got a chance to have Evening Prayer in the chapel. I had brought my harp to lead us in music.
After a scrumptious dinner we had some time to relax and enjoy one another's company. We drank wine and were treated to some guitar and bodhran by residents and Nathan.
In the morning several of us joined Pastor Brian in the monastery chapel for Eucharist. It was wonderful to be together, singing, learning, and feasting. This was a highlight for a couple of the residents.
We ended our time with yet another amazing meal, and finally packed up and headed back on the ferry. The clouds had cleared and we were treated to a beautiful afternoon, despite the heavy traffic!
This was a great opportunity to strengthen our bonds as a community, and I am really looking forward to our next community retreat at Rivendell in May.

GRAHAM — Murder trials are complicated and demand more from lawyers and judges than almost any other crime, so it generally takes years to bring one to trial or to a plea bargain.
By the Times-News’ count, there are 34 pending murder cases in the court system — that is, 34 people charged with the first- or second-degree murder in the cases of 19 victims.
The oldest case is about four years, though most are from 2016 and 2017.
It is possible for several of the older cases to be resolved in 2018, but that becomes complicated with turnover in the Alamance County District Attorney’s Office as prosecutors leave, District Attorney Pat Nadolski finishes up his term this year, and Sean Boone, who won the May 8 Republican primary and faces no opposition in November, prepares to take over and reorganize the office.
Nearly four years ago, Jahmil Deshawn Ingram was charged with shooting David Israel Williams, 24, at Quality Inn on Maple Avenue in Burlington. His trial is scheduled for Nov. 13.
Around 2:30 a.m. Aug. 31, 2014, according to investigators, Ingram’s brother, Rahmil Dimitris Ingram, fought with 24-year-old Raphael Devante Currie, of Burlington. When Ingram opened fire, according to Burlington police, Currie sustained life-threatening gunshot wounds, but survived.
Williams, however, was part of the crowd nearby and was also shot. police took him to Alamance Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
The hotel was crowded — police described it as “chaos” — with drugs and alcohol found in several rooms.
One of the few death-penalty cases pending in Alamance County is also one of the most brutal.
911 calls came in at close to 8 p.m. June 13, 2015, of a man on fire running around on a gravel road near Hatchery Road and Interstate 40/85. Responders found Juan Mario Martinez Trujillo, 56, of Hillsborough, badly burned. He died Aug. 24, 2015, at UNC Medical Center.
According to a police affidavit, friends of Trujillo said he had been involved in drug trafficking with a man called “Chilango,” slang for a man from Mexico City, and that there was an ongoing dispute between them over $5,000 to $10,000. Police were later able to identify Torres-Acevedo as “Chilango” and arrested him in January of 2016, accusing him of dousing Trujillo with an accelerant and setting him on fire.
The District Attorney’s Office announced its intention to pursue the death penalty June 7, 2016.
Torres-Acevedo is suspected of having drug cartel ties. He is now in the Marion Correctional Institution on a conviction for methamphetamine trafficking. His expected release date is Nov. 6, 2021, according to the N.C. Department of Public Safety.
One of the older, and more disturbing, pending murder cases is Joseph Wayne Goswick, 20, charged with first-degree murder in the death of his adoptive father, James Weston Goswick, 36, a well-known and well-liked Boy Scout leader and LabCorp worker, in January 2016 in their home on Brier Lane, Graham.
Weston Goswick’s body was found in the home’s detached garage after coworkers reported him missing Jan. 21, 2016.
When deputies went to check on him, Joseph Goswick, then 17, told them his father had been gone for several days to clear his head after the two had argued, though his car was still in the driveway, according to investigators. Coworkers told investigators, according to a search warrant application, that someone they suspected was Joseph had called in pretending to be Weston.
Goswick was at the house with three friends when deputies came to check. He told deputies he wasn’t sure if he had the key to the garage, when deputies found an open door, they saw what looked like a body under a blanket and withdrew to detain the people in the house and get a search warrant. Goswick said he and his father had gotten into a fight around the garage.
Marks on both Goswicks made it look like there had been a fight, and investigators later said there was evidence the father had been kicked, beaten with a blunt object and strangled with a belt.
According to court records, Goswick was evaluated at Central Regional Hospital, and found competent to stand trial, but his defense attorney, Alex Dawson, could still go for a mental-health defense, said First Assistant District Attorney Corey Santos, which would mean more evaluations from defense and prosecution experts.
Santos said it is in the prosecution’s interest for a defendant to get strong representation, though, to ensure a guilty verdict stands up on appeal.
Abraham Fryar, 41, was charged with stabbing his brother, David Fryar, 43, to death July 4, 2015, outside the Homewood Avenue group home where he lived. Investigators had at least one person claiming to be a witness, and an admission from Fryar who later used two bloody $20 bills at a nearby store.
Fryar has a long history of mental-health issues and a several robbery and assault convictions, and has been transferred to Central Regional Hospital, where it is unclear if he will ever be able to stand trial, Santos said.
While the case of Joseph David Fuller’s murder is nearly six years old, the suspects were not charged until last fall.
Kevon Lamont Moore, 44, and Craig Elwood Williamson, 47, were charged with the first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and breaking and entering in Fuller’s death Oct. 8, 2012.
Sheriff’s deputies found Fuller, 38, dead from multiple gunshot wounds at a house in the 5500 block of Lindley Mill Road, Graham. Charges were filed against Moore and Williamson Nov. 16, 2017.
Perceiving that as a threat against his son, Fuller refused to get on the floor and the two began to struggle. The man shot Fuller, who ran to the back door of the trailer and jumped out because there were no steps. The suspect then walked to the back door and again shot Fuller, who was trying to crawl under the trailer.
The intruder took $500 and a big-screen TV, according to warrants.
According to a motion to reduce his bond, Williamson told investigators he was at Fuller’s house — referred to as a “known drug dealer” — when a masked man kicked in the door and struggled with Fuller as Williamson ran out the door. According to the filing, a woman present at the time can corroborate Williamson’s account.
The motion also claims Moore was arrested with 33 grams of cocaine and could face trafficking and habitual-felon charges, giving him more incentive to lie to investigators.
Williamson is charged with conspiring with Moore and another unknown person to set Fuller up for the robbery.
The shooting death of Willie Thompson Jr., 26, of Deep Creek Church Road, Burlington, on May 20, 2015, is likely to come up for trial next year.
Decarlos Bernard Barnes, 24, is charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder, firing a gun into an occupied dwelling and drug possession.
Thompson was shot just before 3:30 a.m. May 20, 2015, outside the CV Mart/Coy’s Exxon at 1846 N. Church St. and died shortly after of a chest wound. James Travarrus Withers, 24, of McKinley Street, Mebane, was shot in the leg.
Early on, police suspected jealousy over a hug given to Barnes’ girlfriend in the store might have been the motive for the shooting, but another felony charge filed a year after Thompson’s death seems to make that questionable. Barnes was charged with firing a .40-caliber bullet into a house where Thompson was staying with relatives a week before Thompson’s murder.
After fleeing the state, Barnes was arrested in Washington D.C. and returned to Alamance County in June 2015.
Barnes has given notice of a self-defense defense, according to Santos.
Anthony Lewis Capps, 26, was found dead with three bullet wounds, one in his torso and two in the back of his head, at 2:25 a.m. Feb. 16, 2016, at the intersection of Border Street and Wood Avenue, Burlington, and his 1993 Jeep Cherokee nearby.
Barry Lynn Williams, 50, last known to live at 317 Atwater St., Burlington, turned himself in later that day and was charged with second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon.
According to a police search-warrant application, the confrontation may have been sparked by jealousy and drugs. Police said the men were known to each other through mutual acquaintances, and shouting was heard before the shooting started.
Police have called the shooting death of Kareem L. Johnson, 21, on June 20, 2016, a drug deal gone bad, and five young men face charges of first-degree murder and armed robbery: Tevin Devenita Crisp, 26; Keshawn Ter’ll Chrisp, 19; Jaiquan Montique McDaniel, 21; Khalil Dyshaun Moore, 19; and Micah Keishaun Cameron, 19.
The circumstances are complicated and involve a number of violent crimes, according to investigators.
In the first shooting, June 20, 2016, at 702 Tillman St., police said, Johnson and Jalin Lewis Ferguson, then 21, were lured to the residence to be robbed. Johnson was shot and died from his injuries two days later.
Crisp and Chrisp — who are cousins but spell their last names differently, police said — along with McDaniel, Moore, Cameron and possibly others were at the Tillman Street house at the time of the shooting.
Three and a half hours later, after being interviewed by investigators regarding the Tillman Street shooting, Chrisp, Crisp, Ferguson and possibly others went back to Chrisp’s apartment at 317 Caswell St.
Ferguson stepped outside behind the apartment building to talk to his mother on a cellphone and was approached by Cameron, who, according to investigators, shot Ferguson multiple times at 6:08 p.m., June 20, 2016. Cameron is charged with attempted first-degree murder in that shooting.
Police said Cameron shot Ferguson so he could not identify the shooters in Johnson’s killing.
The death of Robert Nelson Gilley II, 52, was originally reported as an accident — a rifle misfiring after being dropped, Nov. 5, 2016. According to a search-warrant application from the Sheriff’s Office, Stephen Adrian Ferriell, 44, told investigators he left Gilley for a while after they had been target shooting and found the man shot with the rifle on the ground.
Investigators found the evidence inconsistent with that story and charged Ferriell with voluntary manslaughter in January. Those charges were changed to first-degree murder May 21.
Christina Marie Smith, 32, was shot dead in the head during the armed robbery of a low-level drug dealer in the room of the boarding house where she stayed, 1012 S. Main St., Room 12, Burlington.
Marlow Laddell Southern, 35, Jasmine Dezira McNew, 28, Tyrees Nathanial Williams, 18, and Khalil Le’Mon Starks, 22, are each charged with first-degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon in Smith’s murder.
According to search-warrant applications by Burlington police, Southern described as the cousin of Smith’s boyfriend and roommate had come to the couple’s door and entered their room briefly. That witness — who told investigators he had been selling crack cocaine that night — said he saw shadows under the door after Southern closed it and suspected a robbery. Two men, Williams and Starks, police say, came in as Southern left and robbed the witness of his remaining cocaine.
Smith started shouting at the robbers, according to the statement in the warrant application, and one of them shot her in the head.
Witnesses identified Southern’s car, and he and McNew admitted to being at the house to buy crack. Investigators allege the couple conspired with Williams and Starks to commit the robbery.
Ashley Deneen Watlington, 35, is charged with the second-degree murder of Michael Darrell Lea in what investigators called a domestic assault at 3:15 a.m. Nov. 25, 2016, on the side of U.S. 70.
He died two days later at UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the couple was driving, but stopped. The assault happened outside the car. Lea died from blunt-force trauma to the head, and no weapon was found at the scene.
Two men are charged in the shooting death of Sam Scoggins Jr., 41, Feb. 2, 2016, in what police say was a dispute over a trade for drugs and a gun.
Tyrell Lee Yancey, 27, accused of firing the shots, and Leobardo Angel Flores, accused of driving Yancey from the scene at the corner of Holt and Sellars streets, are both charged with first-degree murder.
According to a police search-warrant affidavit, a witness told police Scoggins was “using the starter pistol he represented as a real firearm as payment” to Flores for crack. Flores and Yancey later returned to confront him. Witnesses heard arguing and several gunshots.
Several people were around, and a GPS monitoring bracelet Flores was wearing on his ankle at the time, issued by his bail bonding company for a shooting charge from the year before, confirmed to police that Flores “was in fact at the shooting scene,” the investigator wrote.
Two people face the death penalty in the brutal murder of Harold D. Simpson, 84, last August.
Sean Damion Castorina, 42, and Penny Michelle Dawson, 40, are accused of killing Simpson in rural Caswell County in August 2017, and fleeing to Virginia where, according to the District Attorney’s Office, they shot a woman and left her for dead, and ultimately were arrested in Fergus Falls, Minn.
Simpson went missing Aug. 19, 2017. His silver 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt was found abandoned in Nelson County, Va., three days later, and according to police, items belonging to Castorina and Dawson were found inside.
Human remains believed to be Simpson’s were found in late August off Totten Road in Caswell County.
According to prosecutors, Dawson had befriended Simpson months before his death with the aim of getting money and support, and on Aug. 19, they got him to the isolated place, where they attacked Simpson, tried to strangle him, and then killed him by shoving his own walking stick down his mouth and throat.
The couple fled to Shipman, Va., where Castorina had a friend. While trying to steal some things from the friend’s house, Nadolski said, the friend’s girlfriend came by to check on the house. Castorina and Dawson are charged also with taking the Virginia woman against her will, tying her up, blindfolding her, putting her in a bathtub, shooting her in the back of the head, leaving her for dead and stealing her 2002 Dodge Dakota on Aug. 22. She survived and identified Castorina and Dawson.
While the prosecution believes Simpson was killed in Caswell County, the defendants planned the murder and began the chain of events in Alamance County.
Castorina was previously convicted in 2005 of second-degree murder in Johnston County and served 16 years, six months in prison, and was released months before Simpson’s death.
Darrell Kenan Clark, 54, is charged with first-degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon in the April 29, 2017, stabbing death of Daniel Lee Paul, 67.
According to police, a passerby saw Paul through the window, lying on the floor of his apartment at 431 Sellars St. around midday and called 911. Firefighters arrived to administer aid and discovered what appeared to be a puncture wound in Paul's upper torso. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police determined that Paul had been robbed of his wallet and cash during an altercation, and investigators used surveillance video and witness statements to identify Clark.
Investigators believe the men knew each other.
Vincent Ramon Sowell Jr., 27, Marquette Travon Williams, 30, and Litego Dariyonta Marshall, 40, are all charged with first-degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon in the Dec. 21 death of Leonidas Brown, 32, 600 block of Ross Street, Burlington.
According to court records, on Dec. 20 Brown was going to sell two pounds of marijuana, valued at $2,700, according to police reports — but became suspicious the buyers were actually going to rob him and pulled a gun, and the defendants shot him.
He was found with a gunshot wound to the abdomen, and taken to Duke University Medical Center for treatment, where he died from his injuries the following day.
Najee Camille Moore, 17, is charged with the first-degree murder of Travonte Contrell Compton, 17, on Nov. 7, 2017.
Just after 5 p.m. Tuesday Nov. 7, police and medics responded to the 300 block of Vance Street where Travonte Contrell Compton was suffering from a gunshot wound to the face. Compton was in the back seat of a burgundy Honda Accord. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police believe Compton was driven to Vance Street from Chandler Avenue, where officers initially had responded to a report of shots fired.
Investigators think Moore acted alone in the shooting, but three other teens were charged with helping or harboring Moore after the murder, according to police, and, according to a search-warrant affidavit sworn by Burlington police Officer J. Theriault, Moore conspired with two others, Trenton Enoch and Laquan Knox, to shoot up a police station before he was arrested while detectives were investigating Compton’s murder.
Several law enforcement agencies collaborated to arrest Moore without incident Monday, Nov. 20, in a stolen car on Cherry Grove Road in Caswell County.
Michael Thomas Le, 25, was shot dead in the robbery of Gone Fishing Sweepstakes, 1365 N. Church St., Burlington, on April 8. Le was a security guard at the business.
Shamar Ramel Holloway, 35, Anthony Lamar Cason, 22, Anthony Lamar Cason, 22, and Tanesha Annette Jeffries, 23, face first-degree murder and robbery charges.
Police responding to Gone Fishing Sweepstakes after 9 p.m. Sunday, April 8, found an employee and a patron suffering from head wounds, and Le suffering from a single gunshot wound. Le was pronounced dead upon arrival at Alamance Regional Medical Center, and the employee and patron were left with bruising and swelling to their heads.
Randy Michael Riley, 30, was charged with the first-degree murder of William Jeremy Wiggs Jr., 58, April 10, as well as assault, robbery and car theft.
Officers found Wiggs’ father, William Joel Wiggs Sr., 88, at the front door of the home with lacerations to his upper body, which he survived. The younger Wiggs was found dead inside also with lacerations.
Riley is Wiggs Sr.’s step-grandson. He was in search of money and also stole a tan Highlander, according to Burlington police.
Jeremiah Paul Walsh, 29, is charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of his mother, Karla Gail Arnold, 57, Friday April 27.
Sheriff’s deputies responded to a 911 call saying “My partner tried to kill his mother, and there was blood everywhere,” according to a search-warrant application.
They found Walsh with blood on his hands in front of the house at 2360 Freshwater Road, Lot 10, Haw River, smoking a cigarette. He admitted to stabbing Arnold. Her body was found inside with multiple stab wounds, as was a knife that had been wiped off, but still had visible blood traces. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

I am constantly being asked about best sellers, top flavours, most popular Toques and I just thought I'd compile a top 10. I hope this is of assistance.
You'll have to buy tons of it to get it into the top 10. It's around the 40 mark.
This is probably addressed elsewhere, but what's the difference between ToqueUSA Whiskey and Honey and Toque Whisky and honey?
Very interesting. Is this from the Toque website sales only or combined with other shops ?
I wonder why Toast&Marmalade isn't in the Top10, ridiculously good craftsmanship.
We want more Infos, I want to see all of the statistics !
This is only from Toque Online. Toast and Marmalade is in the top 20. I'll count the sales and let you know its exact position.
ToqueUSA Whiskey and Honey is on a blend of toast and rustica, flavoured with bourbon whiskey and a couple of other ingredients. Toque Whisky and Honey is on a toasted base and flavoured with malt whisky and other flavourings.
Thanks - sounds like I need to try both!
I'm surprised to see that the Ambrosia made the given that it hasnt been out long.
Aamon, It has sold like crazy. The big ad on the front page really helped to catch peoples attention.
I should also say the top 3 dominate. The old Whisky and Honey used to have the number one spot but has been usurped by the young pretender.
LOL! Don't say that it will go to Aamons head. He takes the credit.
ahahaha no credit due at all, anyway who's the pretty lady on the Ambrosia add?
@Roderick So are you the crazy looking guy on the Silver Dollar Banner ?
This is a great thread. I hope they become regular features.
Are these top 10 by number of tins sold, by grams sold, or by revenue ?
I wish! I'm the daft old guy seen here.
I'm just adding up the kilos of the top sellers. Some of the worst sellers hardly even register a few gram's a week. Violet only sold 20g's this week, Rose only sold 130g's, Champagne 260g's and Lavender 430g's. I'm not giving away the figures for the top sellers. I'm afraid that is too confidential.
I love the Violet and Pomegranate! Oh, and the Whisky and Honey USA!
Only two of the ones in the top sellers list are in my personal top 10 Toque's, but all that does is show how our tastes vary.
These top seven are always close to the top ten or there about. It amazes me what pops in every so often. Raspberry Menthol is a big seller but St Clements is hardly in the top 20. All it takes is a number of 400g bags and a snuff shoots up the list. However the top three are very unlikely to change position and Cheese and Bacon, Whisky and Honey, Natural Toast and Original are always hoping around.
I can't believe cheese and bacon sells at all!
I see a lot of snus and pipe users on FB starting to buy snuff. I always point them to http://www.toquesnuff.com And rave about the service, selections and quality.

SHILLONG, Jan 25: Shillong Lajong defeated I-League defending champions, Minerva Punjab FC, 1-0 on Friday at the Tau Devi Lal Stadium in Chandigarh.
Lajong custodian Phurba Lachenpa was handed with his second consecutive Hero of the Match award for his spectacular effort in Friday’s game.
The youngsters of Shillong Lajong started the game brightly and got their first chance in the 7th minute after Lalrohlua’s pass was met by Samuel Lalmuanpuia but the skipper’s shot went just wide.
The defending champions and hosts of Friday’s game were also pushing forward in search of the goal. In the 13th minute, they came close to find the net but Toure’s header went wide. A minute later, Samuel Lalmuanpuia took the free kick for Lajong but it went straight to the Minerva Punjab goalkeeper, Nidhin Lal.
Shillong Lajong who were desperately looking for the win continued to press hard for the goal. In the 32nd minute, Kynsailang Khongsit from inside the box took a shot at goal. His first effort was blocked and the next took a deflection and went away for a corner.
In the 46th minute, Minerva Punjab’s Lancine Toure could have given his side the lead in the game but the Ivorian player’s shot was not on target. After a few minutes, Prabhjot’s header was beautifully tipped over the crossbar by Lajong keeper, Phurba Lachenpa. He made another brilliant save in the 64th minute to deny Moinuddin’s shot from entering the back of the net.
Alison Kharsyntiew’s boys were counter attacking well upfront on several occasions and their efforts were finally paid off when Mahesh Singh who was inside the box scored in the 84th minute from close range after a rebound of Nidhin Lal fell on the striker. Just a few minutes later, Kitbok Pale could have doubled the lead after he was on a one on one situation but his shot was saved by the onrushing Nidin Lal.
Minerva tried all options to salvage a point but were unsuccessful. After this win, Shillong Lajong will return home to take on Churchill Brothers on 5th February at the JN Stadium Shillong.

The knee is a complex joint that relies heavily on ligaments and muscles for stability.
Our highly qualified and experienced Doctor of Chiropractic knows how chiropractic treatment can be effective for many problems that cause knee pain and although a condition such as osteoarthritis is not curable, the symptoms can be reduced and the progression of the problem can be helped thanks to our unique approach to treatment.
We would normally modify the treatment to suit each patient and their specific conditions. So the type of treatment that is most appropriate for one person is not necessarily right for another. The Doctor will perform specific chiropractic manipulation and mobilization techniques to areas of restricted movement in the knee and surrounding joints, to increase movement, improve the function and reduce pain.

Ah, Monday. Must mean that this post can also be found on my family blog.
Around our house, we have a few hours in the day I like to call “the crazies.” I used to call this time of day “the witching hour,” but then the one hour became two, then three, and now it’s sometimes even four, thanks in large part to Nana’s stellar bedtime routine, in which she reads approximately 500 pages of princess/cowboy/fairy tales to Rachel then Rachel feels the need to poke Nana in the eye repeatedly until Nana finally snaps and calls it a night. But I digress.
About 5 seconds before or after that text, give or take, my mom starts feeling really good because she’s had at least 10 cups of coffee and watched a couple of old movies. For her, 4pm is work time and she starts “finishing” all the unfinished projects we have around the house. I start reminding her, in dripping-faucet fashion, that 4:30 is Rachel’s dinner time (yes, really), and that I would love it if she could help with the baby while I wind Rachel down. This does not sit well with my mom, who has just dragged out all her various tools and is really hitting her groove.
I’m still ignoring Collin’s text, because frankly, I don’t know what we’re going to do for dinner despite the meat thawing in the sink. This is a “how the kids behave” thing, not a “I forgot to think about dinner” thing.
4:30pm hits, and I feed Rachel something, anything, as long as she doesn’t paint with it, yell at it, or feed it to the dog. I begin reminding her bedtime is in an hour. She screams, “I don’t want to go to bed!” and I point out that she has a whole additional hour in which to play. Have I mentioned she can’t tell time yet?
She eats, or not, and now it’s time to start dinner for everyone else. Aaron decides he wants a nap, and Nana realizes she’s the go-to mom unless she wants to cook, and trust me, she doesn’t.
So she rocks Aaron, Aaron falls asleep, and 10 minutes later Collin gets home, at which point both the dog and Rachel go insane with joy and begin squealing, barking, and turning in circles. They all three play and I’m helpless to stop them, because really, could YOU stop a 16-year-old from playing with his brother-worshipping 3-year-old sister? It warms the heart. Aaron waking up, however, is not as wonderful.
Now it’s 6pm. In case you’ve lost track, that’s 30 minutes past Rachel’s bedtime and she is a MESS. We swipe a toothbrush across her mouth and call it a win.
But at least I’ve made it to 7pm and there are only 3 more hours before Andy gets home, at which point I can collapse into a blubbering mess and hand the reins to him.
Please tell me this is what it’s like at your house. And if not, can I move in?

On behalf of Asbestos Network posted in Mesothelioma on Monday, November 16, 2015.
In surgery, a surgeon will attempt to remove all or some of the cancer within the body. Unfortunately, sometimes it is not possible to remove all of the growth, and cancer cells can be left behind. Surgery is an option for patients to help them live longer and to relieve symptoms.
Photodynamic therapy involves the injection of photosensitized drugs into the body. The lungs are then exposed to light at a particular frequency, which activates the drug and destroys the cancer cells.
Gene therapy is an experimental treatment and works in two ways: knockout gene therapy works by assaulting the genes prone to tumors and preventing them from forming. Replacement gene therapy replaces a damaged gene with a normal one that regulates cell growth and division.
If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you might be wondering what treatment options are available to you. Consulting a medical professional experienced in mesothelioma treatment is a good idea, as they will be able to assess your health and determine what is appropriate for your particular situation.

Bruce Clarcke and Mark Hansen's edited volume Emergence and Embodiment presents a selection of writings on issues ranging from theories of embodiment, personal recollections of the events that lead to theories of emergentisim and from humanists who have closely followed developments in biology and the mind sciences. The chapters cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries and aim at understanding the effects of second order systems theory on both biological and social structures. Contemporary theories of mind and cognition believe in amodal mental representations. This means our perception of reality emerges from symbolic computations of neurons. This conflicts with the view that our conception of our selves and the perception of mental reality is an outcome of the interaction between the will and the neural machinery. This has been the core conflict between the representationalists and the phenomenologists. Yet the war was not only fought on philosophical ground but includes biologists, social scientists and others.
However, a brief glance at the historical episodes of last few decades will suggest that there have been parallel developments in thinking on the nature of mind and human mental functioning inside biology. One such example is the theory of autopoiesis by Maturana and Varela. Autopoiesis refers to the very harmonious relationship that can exist between the system and its component processes and is different from the concept of self organization. Autopoiesis has more of an embodied and enactive aspect to it than most other theories. The other significant development of the holistic vision in science was the second order systems theory in cybernetics by Heinz von Foerster and later application of these theories in the social arena by Niklas Luhmann. This collection of chapters is all about the evolution of second order systems theory and how it has influenced later development in theoriestion a wide range of disciplines. It is all about von Forester, Maturana, Varela, Luhmann and also Derrida.
Theories that emphasize embodiment assume that we perceive things directly. This is also the view that phenomenological thinkers had with their take on the nature of mind, and is helpful for us in considering what it means to be a human and to have a mind. Embodied and phenomenological analysis of cognition and mental reality has offered an alternative framework to a host of researchers to reflect on the most critical questions pertaining to nature of mind. However, this is not only an issue that philosophers dealt with but biologists as well. The massive theoretical developments in computer sciences and cybernetics during the 60s were also simultaneous with developments in biology and neuroscience. This book is a bit of histography of cybernetics with some memories and some theoretical papers dealing with systems theory. Cybernetics began in the 50s as a discipline to study the systemic approach to messages and later it was applied to study workings of the mind. However, second order systems theory was an attempt to link the rigid pure information structure approaches to embodiment as well as phenomenoploal ideas. This humanitarian shift in thinking in last few years that aims to provide a holistic approach to human understanding goes back to Fransico Varela and Maturana. They were the ones to view biological processes as embodied stuff. Therefore, the book though begins with interviews and a chapter on the cybernetics of Heinz von Foerster, it slowly moves into the phenomenology of life and organization with contributions from Varela himself who has played important role in the development of the theory of autopoiesis along with Maturana. The chapters in the book thus allow the novice and the expert alike to view developments in second order systems theory and autopoiesis as interlinked and not as discrete historical events. The most significant aspect of this history is the manner in which humanists have accepted system theory and cybernetics into their domain. One wonders to see a single volume talk about von Forester, Varela, Maturana, McLuhan and even Derrida with equal intensity. This has been possible because biologists who were working in systems theory also adopted phenomenological values into thinking about cognition as well as others in social science and humanities who saw the profit in using such analysis into their practice. Thus as the title of the book suggests, second order system theory has been an amalgamation of ideas ranging from cybernetic, systems theory, work in philosophy of mind and embodiment. A quick review of the main content of the volume will make these interdisciplinary methods clear.
Some chapters are more biographical and historical, tracing the development of second order systems theory inside cybernetics and theory of autopoiesis. For example first two chapters that include interviews and writings on the life and work of Heinz von Foersters and Varela; chapter on events that led to the conceptualization of autopoiesis in biological systems. John Protevi's chapter on the hidden political aspects in Varela's work is as well informative. However, the most significant element in the book is the way it presents the inner contradiction that is inherent in the development and theorization in second order systems theory and neocybernatics. For example Luhmann, another great protagonist of the movement offers a slightly different conceptalusaion of the notion of autopoiesis as it has been applied to study social dynamics and systems. It must be noted that Varela himself was not much in favor of the application of theories of autopoiesis in analysis of social structure. In spite of this, system theory and neocybernatics has become interesting to humanists and other social scientists primarily because the philosophical and epistemological background of these theories. Since Maturana and Varela's contribution had its impact on a generation of thinkers in diverse fields because it had the taken a phenomenological route for the information processing approaches, later embodists and humanists who saw themselves not as strict materialists accepted them wholeheartedly. Therefore, in this volume one finds Derrida's work on deconstruction and other themes have been approached from a system perspective. Since the same concept of psyche that biologists and neocybernatic theoreticians assumed as the basis of mental and physical existence, also was explored by philosophers and social theorists in different domains. Even one finds the analysis of visual objects or even art from a system perspective which points towards the close thematic relationship that can exist between purely mechanical and psychic views of life.
The volume thus has two types of contributions. On one hand we have scientists who show the philosophical aspects of their work and on the other scholars in humanities who find links between science and arts or philosophy. Thus also includes understanding text, media or visual arts. Thus the reader will find two different modes of narration while shifting from chapter to chapter. Of course at the end of the concern of the humanists are different from those who do hard science. However, reading the chapters in this volume would make one see the striking similarities that can arise when one looks carefully at the very conceptions of theories.
The book offers some excellent contemporary discussion on emergence and embodiment in a holistic manner. For example it offers the main points of important theories such as autopoiesis and second order cybernetics. Further, another major attraction of the book is chapters on critical theory that offer sharp contrast to purely scientific evaluation of systems theory. The volume is an interesting mixture of ideas from biology, philosophy as well as the humanities.

The world of cinema lost two great masters in the past few weeks: Haskell Wexler, ASC, and Vilmos Zsigmond, ASC, HSC.
I extend my heartfelt condolences to their families and friends, with a special thought and prayer for Susan Roether Zsigmond.
Both Haskell and Vilmos merit the many tributes they have received. I recommend reading John Bailey’s tribute to Haskell, and I have listed links to many of the tributes to Vilmos below.
I knew Vilmos for almost 30 years, and our friendship grew in Hungary, Poland and France over the past two decades.
This is for you, Vilmos, mon ami.
3 frames from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Cinematography by Vilmos Zsigmond.
all mixed together, because the stories of your life were like movies.
with a film-school camera hidden in a shopping bag.
You escaped to the West with the film cans in potato sacks.
sharing everything from your early twenties on.
industrials, stills, documentaries, working in a film lab.
lighting scenes with reflectors and voltage-boosted 300-watt bulbs.
And all for a hundred dollars a day.
Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!?
on Peter Fonda’s The Hired Hand.
shooting masterpieces of the American New Wave in the 1970s.
Brian De Palma, Michael Cimino, Mark Rydell.
in these great American movies.
and always the truth of poetry.
with Robert Altman in McCabe and Mrs Miller.
to create a dreamy masterpiece.
always trying out the new technologies of cinema.
on The Sugarland Express in 1974.
You liked to use zooms to work faster.
You shot anamorphic for the bigger negative.
Thank you for sometimes being seven stops over.
in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Your lighting became a character, the mask of the invisible aliens.
no DP would take your place.
and climbing on stage to give your brief acceptance speech in 1978.
in that moment of generous gratitude.
with so many memorable scenes.
and a funeral brunch with an American hymn.
Thank you, Vilmos, for your third life as a master teacher.
and the leadership of George Karpaty, and later Janos Xantus.
and to organize panels and a master class with you at Camerimage.
as they set up their lighting and their shots.
that you wanted to shoot all along.
with young and not-so-young cinematographers and filmmakers.
to show students that lighting starts with black and white tones.
with Yuri Neyman at your Global Cinematography Institute.
in an age of less lighting.
for reminding us about hard light in an age of soft boxes.
for being like my Hungarian uncle.
We both had two languages, and two cultures.
Thank you for showing me your hometown.
in that dive near the soccer stadium.
in the heat of a conversation.
Thank you for your gentleness, even when you were firm.
or to remind us of the irony of the situation.
Thank you, Vilmos, for your humanity.

A loveseat is a beautiful piece of furniture for your home. In most of the homes, loveseats are used alongside sofas but these days they are being widely used separately too. Loveseat is a smaller version of a sofa. It can sit only two or three persons at a time but its comfort levels are equal to that of a grand sofa. Loveseats are in wide trend these days because of their multi functionality. For the people who suffer from lack of space in their houses but still desire for a fancy furniture for their living room, loveseats turn out to be the perfect option. They come in a variety of designs and sizes which gives you more choices for a loveseat than you can possibly get for a sofa. Loveseats also come in various inbuilt features such as a massager or heating system. There are a wide range of loveseats which are convertible to a full sized bed. In this way, loveseats serve you multiple purposes and at the same time take a lot less space compared to a full sized sofa. One of the best fabric you can get for a loveseat is a patterned one.
If you have a contemporary style or country style for your home, then patterned loveseat would do complete justice to that theme. Leather do not go perfect with this home theme because of its dark and bold look. Moreover, leather is expensive to a patterned fabric and is useless in places with extreme temperatures. Patterned loveseat come in a number of contrasting pattern designs which fits perfect for a contemporary style. The colourful loveseat adds a grace to the surroundings.
Patterned loveseat can be used for both bedroom and living room because of its versatile design and multiple uses. It becomes the saviour when you have guests in your home and you need an extra bed for the night. These loveseats are perfect for you to spend a plenty of time on them and they never fail to impress anyone who visits your home.

Four distinct map of Seville spain are lying in front of me on my desk and I am not sure exactly how they got into my hands, but lucky to have them.
I said they are different but all have one common objective – to help people enrich their knowledge of Seville, be these people from this delightful city, from a neighbouring town, another place in spain or from far away. All these people need to be shown the way or informed about a special events and where and when to enjoy it. With all these map of Seville we can get an overview of the whole province and all its interesting places whether they be monuments, churches, or natural attractions. We can learn the best combination of roads to take if we do a car hire in Seville, what timetables to follow if travelling by public transport, exact location of tourist attractions, restaurants and essential services such as information booths, consular offices and hospitals.
If we are arriving at Seville airport, we will probably need to have airport transfers from Seville airport and on the map of Seville city, the hours and bus numbers are shown. If we are to arrive in the city by car, we will need a map of Seville spain which show the roads accessing to the city, wanting to take the one which get us to our Seville hotels. Once inside the city, having gotten settled in our rooms, we venture out onto the colourful and spanish music filled Sevillian streets. Not wanting to get lost nor lose time, we open up our map of Seville to find out where we are and how we can get to where we want to go the quickest and cheapest way possible. Having a good map of Seville city, we can organize our timetable of visits to be able to see all. The cuisine in the south is very special and the people take great pains in preparing and serving their delicacies so we definitely need to search for these eating places, many clearly marked on the map and sometimes even better, just follow the crowd.
Two very extensive maps which can be bought here in spain are put out by the Real Automovil Club in Spain and the other is from Michelin. These two are excellent references for road travelling, eating well and sleeping well. They can be acquired in many different languages and very handy to have. One of the other map of Seville is given out free from the Town Hall and is the Official Plan and travel guide map for the world famous April Fair.
All of Seville, especially the streets and the lay out of the city completely changes and if you have a regular map of the city of Seville you might not be able to use it. Seville is divided into eight neighbourhoods or districts and during this festive street party, each one of these eight areas has their own party tents and the best part of this celebration is to be an active part in each, therefore it would not be our pleasure to miss out on anything by getting lost.
So, open up your best backpack and start packing: a camera and lots of film if it is not digital, an extra pair of comfortable dancing shoes, a big smile and of course, a map of Seville Spain.

Frugal & Fabulous: Review & Giveaway: Jackpot Candles!
Review & Giveaway: Jackpot Candles!
I am not the most creative gift giver so I love finding unique and interesting gifts. This one is a new favorite! Candles are an easy gift, but why not add a little surprise in there too? Jackpot Candles gives you the option to give two gifts in one- a delicious smelling candle and a beautiful piece of jewelry!
How does it work? First you pick the candle scent (I picked Blueberry Muffin) and then you pick the type of jewelry (earrings, necklace or ring with your preferred size). Your candle comes directly to you (or your recipient) with the jewelry hidden inside.
As a special bonus, the jewelry can be worth anywhere from $15- $5000! I burned my candle for maybe 10 hours before I could reach the ring inside. I just pulled it out with a pair of tweezers. It was wrapped in foil and the ring itself had a tag with a number on it. You then take the number from the tag and look up the value on the Jackpot Candle appraisal page. My ring was only worth about $35 but it was really pretty - and it fit me perfectly, which was great!
These aren't your average candles- they are beautiful, clean burning, 100% soy candles. They are also 100% made in the USA! The candles come in a range of different scents including Banana Nut Bread, Birthday Cake, Caramel Coffee, Cinnamon Sensation, Hot Fudge Brownie and more! These candles are also infused with essential oils for ultimate relaxation and enjoyment! They burn anywhere from 80-100 hours which is a very long time! I've been enjoying my candle for over a month now and its barely made a dent -which is awesome!
Blueberry is one of my favorite scents for candles- and this one is absolutely awesome - it smells like real blueberry muffins- there isn't anything artificial about it, it just smells sweet and pure.
Did I mention my ring matches my candle? It might not be a real topaz but it certainly looks like one!
Verdict: I love my Jackpot Candle and the ring that came inside! This is such a nice gift or treat for someone special in your life. Mother's day is coming up - pick up two and get free shipping! Gift shopping is officially done!
Buy it: Jackpot Candles can be purchased from their website, and retail for $24.95. Submit your email address on their website for $5 off your purchase!

Taxation, the sharing economy, capital controls, spatial planning, investments and tourism are among the many areas covered in a 106-page development plan which Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras presented to his cabinet recently.
Titled “Greece: A Growth Strategy for the Future”, the plan is an effort by the Greek finance ministry to map out the next steps as the country prepares to exit its third and final bailout program in August.
The Greek government has made tourism a high priority with ambitious plans that include the creation of tourist villages set to host EU nationals for a six-month period, allowing them to transfer their tax residence to Greece.
Proposals also include ways to link tourism to the agro-industry, attracting more investments in tourism sector areas as well as enhancing the country’s digital presence.
With an outlook to 2020, government officials aim to establish Greece as one of the top five European destinations and among the top three in the Mediterranean specializing in experiential travel.
Measures to be implemented over the 2018-2019 period include a special program to take effect on Rhodes and Crete promoting year-round tourism and business activity; an EU-funded training and employment program for small and medium-sized enterprises in thematic tourism; support of agricultural production and its link to tourism; a model ensuring year-long tourism in Southern Crete and Southern Rhodes backed by new hotel units catering to medical tourism, senior travel, golf and conference tourism; incentives to attract investments with emphasis on health and spa tourism, marinas, ports-cruise tourism, resorts and theme parks; upgrade schemes for hotel facilities and services.
The government plan also aims to tackle the thorny subject of short-term rentals as well as offering incentives and simplifying licensing procedures to attract foreign film productions to Greece.
Apologies last line should read… Know their subjects!
Extremely ambitious…. Rhodes and Corfu were Winter destinations in 1970… something happened on the way…. Medical Tourism needs stringent regulatory implementation and has even more serious implications on Greece’s reputation… I sincerely hope they know what their subjects!
