This Domain Name Registration Agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the terms and conditions of your use of Blue Gravity Hosting to register an Internet domain name and/or to transfer a domain name from another registrar to Blue Gravity Hosting. To complete the registration process, you must read and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement and any rules or policies that are or may be published by Blue Gravity Hosting. By submitting your registration and service request, you agree to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement. You acknowledge that Blue Gravity Hosting may modify or amend this Agreement at anytime.
Blue Gravity Hosting is a reseller for an accredited registrar with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") for Top Level Domain Names (TLDs), currently .com, .net, .org, .biz, and .info. ICANN oversees registrations and other aspects of the TLDs. As an accredited domain name registrar, Omnis Network, LLC is, upon accepting your domain name registration application, your sponsor for that application.
All domain name registrations we register for TLDs are not effective until we have delivered the domain name registration information you provide us to the registry administrator for the TLDs, as applicable, and the registry administrator puts into effect your domain name registration. Currently, the registry administrator for the .com and .net TLDs is VeriSign Global Registry Services. The registry administrator for the .info TLD is Afilias Limited ("Afilias"). The registry administrator for the .biz TLD is Neulevel.
You agree and acknowledge that Blue Gravity Hosting is not liable or responsible in any way for any errors, omissions or any other actions by the registry administrator arising out of or related to your application and receipt of, or failure to receive, a domain name registration.
You further agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the registry administrator and their directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages and reasonable legal fees and expenses) arising out of, or related to, your domain name registration.
Blue Gravity Hosting uses a user name/password protection system to identify individuals authorized to maintain domain names. This user name/password combination will be absolutely required to make any modifications and renewals to the domain name registration. This information will be emailed upon request to the email address on record for the user account associated with the domain name registration. It is the responsibility of the user to keep the contact information on record up to date. You agree and acknowledge that Blue Gravity Hosting is not liable or responsible in any way for domain name cancellations or related actions resulting from incorrect contact information.
As consideration for the domain name registration services provided by Blue Gravity Hosting, you agree to pay Blue Gravity Hosting, prior to the effectiveness of the desired domain name registration, all applicable initial registration and renewal fees. All fees are nonrefundable, in whole or in part, even if your domain name registration is suspended, cancelled or transferred prior to the end of your then current registration term. Blue Gravity Hosting reserves the right to change fees, surcharges, and renewal fees or to institute new fees at anytime, for any reason, at its sole discretion.
Your requested domain name will not be registered until Blue Gravity Hosting receives actual payment of the registration, renewal and reinstatement fees as applicable. In the event of a chargeback by a credit card company or similar action by any payment provider allowed by Blue Gravity Hosting in connection with the payment of the registration fee for your domain name registration, you agree and acknowledge that the domain name registration shall be transferred to Blue Gravity Hosting as the paying entity for that registration to the registry and that we reserve all rights regarding such domain name including, without limitation, the right to make the domain name available to other parties for purchase. We will reinstate your domain name registration solely at our discretion and subject to our receipt of the initial registration or renewal fee and any reinstatement fees we may charge.
You will be notified via email to the email address on record as the billing contact at regular intervals beginning sixty (60) days before the registered domain name expiration. Payment must be made by credit card or such other method as we may indicate in the registration application or renewal form. Should renewal fees go unpaid beyond the domain name's expiration date or within the time specified in a notice or reminder regarding renewal, your registration will be cancelled.
Cancelled registration will result in the deletion of the registered domain name from the applicable registry. Deleted domain names may enter a Redemption Grace Period status. The Redemption Grace Period provides an opportunity to restore the domain name and retain ownership. Restoration from the Redemption Grace Period may require a fee in addition to the registration and renewal fee and must be paid prior to a domain name being restored from Redemption Grace Period.
You agree and acknowledge that Blue Gravity Hosting is not liable or responsible in any way for domain name cancellations or related actions resulting from our inability to notify you of the domain name renewal because of incorrect contact information or your failure to renew a domain name registration before the expiration date for any reason.
You agree to submit to proceedings under ICANN's Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy that is incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement by reference. The current version of the dispute policy may be found at ICANN's website: http://www.icann.org/udrp/. This policy has been developed by ICANN and/or the specific Registration Administrator and is a required component of every registration agreement. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with this policy.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ICANN, Blue Gravity Hosting, Registry Administrators and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses arising out of or related to your domain name registration and any disputes regarding same.
You acknowledge that the domain name system and the practice of registering and administering domain names are evolving and, therefore, you agree that Blue Gravity Hosting may modify this Agreement and the Dispute Policy if necessary to comply with its ICANN Agreement, and any other Agreements that Blue Gravity Hosting is currently bound by or will be bound by in the future, as well as to adjust to changing business circumstances. Such modifications will be at the sole discretion of Blue Gravity Hosting. Your continued use of the domain name registered to you shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement and the Dispute Policy with the new modifications. If you do not agree to any of such changes, you may request that your domain name registration be cancelled or transferred to a different domain name registrar. You agree that such cancellation or request for transfer will be your exclusive remedy if you do not wish to abide by any changes to this Agreement or the Dispute Policy.
You agree to submit all contact information requested during the domain name registration process. Blue Gravity Hosting's agreement with ICANN and the registry administrators, requires the collection of this contact information. You further agree to immediately validate and update the registration information for the domain name during the registration term of the domain name when changes are made or upon notification from Blue Gravity Hosting to do so. Willful provision of inaccurate or unreliable information, failure to update registration information or respond within fifteen (15) calendar days to a request to validate registration information shall constitute a breach of this Agreement and will result in the cancellation or suspension of the domain name registration.
You agree and acknowledge that Blue Gravity Hosting will make available domain name registration information you provide or that we otherwise maintain to ICANN, to the registry administrators, and to other third parties as ICANN and applicable laws may require. You further agree and acknowledge that Blue Gravity Hosting may make publicly available, or directly available to third party vendors, some, or all, of the domain name registration information you provide, for purposes of inspection (such as through our WHOIS service) or for targeted marketing and other purposes as required or permitted by ICANN and applicable laws.
When registering a domain name under the .info TLD, you consent to the use, copying, distribution, publication, modification, and other processing of registration information you provide by Afilias and it designees and agents in a manner consistent with the purposes specified pursuant in its contract.
Blue Gravity Hosting will not process data about any identified or identifiable natural person that we obtain from you in a way incompatible with the purposes and other limitations that we describe in this Agreement. Blue Gravity Hosting will take reasonable precautions to protect the information it obtains from you from our loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration or destruction of that information.
You agree that, if you are registering a domain name for someone else, you represent that you have the authority to nonetheless bind that person as a principal to all terms and conditions provided herein, including the Dispute Policy.
You further agree that you will furnish the requested information to identify the appropriate person as domain owner.
You agree that if you license the use of the domain name registered to you to a third party, you nonetheless remain the domain name holder of record and remain responsible for all obligations under this Agreement including, but not limited to, payment obligations and providing and updating, as necessary, both your own full contact information and accurate technical, billing, and zone contact information adequate to facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the domain name and domain name registration.
Blue Gravity Hosting, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to refuse to register your domain name or to enroll you in any services. In the event Blue Gravity Hosting does not register your domain name or enroll you in any services, no fees applicable to the rejected services will be collected. Furthermore, Blue Gravity Hosting, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to delete or suspend your domain name registration or cancel access to any services at any time if the domain name is used in any manner in unsolicited email (spam), if the domain name is used in any activity prohibited by United States law or if the domain name is used in any activity deemed unacceptable by Blue Gravity Hosting. After five (5) calendar days all applicable fees associated with deleted or cancelled registrations or services are non-refundable.
You agree that the registration of your domain name is subject to suspension, cancellation, or transfer pursuant to any ICANN adopted specification or policy, or pursuant to any registrar or registry procedure not inconsistent with an ICANN adopted specification or policy to correct mistakes by Blue Gravity Hosting or a registry administrator in registering the domain name or for the resolution of disputes concerning the registered domain name.
You agree that Blue Gravity Hosting shall not be liable to you for loss or damages that may result from our refusal to register your domain name or enroll you in any service, the suspension of your domain name registration or service or the deletion or cancellation of your registered domain name or service.
You agree that you will be prohibited from changing the registrar of your domain name for sixty (60) calendar days following the initial registration of the domain name with Blue Gravity Hosting. Beginning on the sixty-first (61st) calendar day following initial registration, Blue Gravity Hosting will notify the owner of the Omnis Network user account responsible for the domain name in question via the email address on file whenever we receive a request to transfer the domain to another registrar. The user may then access the Account Manager to authorize or deny the transfer. If a rejection or authorization is not explicitly provided via the Account Manager within five (5) days of the initial request, the request to change registrars will be automatically granted by the registry. Your request to change registrars may be denied in situations described in the Dispute Policy, your pending bankruptcy, a dispute over the identity of the domain name holder, and default in the payment of any fees due.
Although Blue Gravity Hosting will accept changes to domain name contact and name server information through the Domain Name Control Panel, Blue Gravity Hosting's record of the domain "owner" can only be changed via the following procedure. To transfer ownership of the domain to another party, the customer must pay all outstanding registration fees and submit through the Domain Name Control Panel the applicable form that describes the intent to relinquish ownership of the domain to a specific party. The new domain owner, who must be the specific party designated by the old domain owner, must then follow the online procedures for obtaining ownership of the previously relinquished domain name. The new domain owner must also pay a transfer of registration fee.
You represent and warrant that all information provided by you in connection with your registration is complete and accurate. Furthermore, you represent and warrant that the domain name registration or the manner in which it is directly or indirectly used will not infringe the legal rights of any third party and will not violate United States law.
Blue Gravity Hosting makes no representation or warranties of any kind in connection with this Agreement. Blue Gravity Hosting does not represent or warrant that registration of your domain name will immunize you from challenges to your domain name.
This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For the adjudication of disputes concerning or arising from use of the domain name registered with Blue Gravity Hosting, you shall submit, without prejudice to other potentially applicable jurisdictions, to the jurisdiction of the courts of your home or business and where Blue Gravity Hosting is located.
YOU AGREE THAT BLUE GRAVITY HOSTING WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY LOSS THAT MAY OCCUR DUE TO (A) ANY LOSS OF REGISTRATION OF A DOMAIN NAME, (B) THE USE OF YOUR DOMAIN NAME, (C) ACCESS DELAYS OR ACCESS INTERRUPTIONS TO BLUE GRAVITY HOSTING'S REGISTRATION SYSTEM, (D) THE NON-DELIVERY OR MISDELIVERY OF DATA BETWEEN YOU AND BLUE GRAVITY HOSTING, (E) EVENTS BEYOND BLUE GRAVITY HOSTING'S REASONABLE CONTROL, (F) THE PROCESSING OF YOUR APPLICATION, (G) THE PROCESSING OF ANY MODIFICATION TO THE RECORD ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR DOMAIN NAME, (H) THE FAILURE OF YOU OR YOUR AGENT TO PAY ANY FEES HEREUNDER, OR (I) THE APPLICATION OF THE DISPUTE POLICY. FURTHER, BLUE GRAVITY HOSTING WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS) REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF BLUE GRAVITY HOSTING HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. YOU AGREE THAT BLUE GRAVITY HOSTING'S ENTIRE LIABILITY, AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, WITH RESPECT TO ANY SERVICES PROVIDED BY BLUE GRAVITY HOSTING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT IS SOLELY LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR SUCH SERVICES. IN NO EVENT SHALL BLUE GRAVITY HOSTING'S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR INITIAL REGISTRATION OF THE DOMAIN NAME AND ANY RENEWALS THEREOF IN THE PAST THREE YEARS. BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
This Web Hosting Service Agreement ("Agreement") defines the terms under which Blue Gravity Hosting provides web hosting service ("Service"). This Agreement is a binding contract between Blue Gravity Hosting ("Blue Gravity") and the individual or company ("Customer") defined on the order form when an order for service is submitted.
BY COMPLETING AN ORDER FOR SERVICE, CUSTOMER AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, OUR ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY ("AUP"), AND ALL AGREEMENTS, RULES AND POLICIES INCORPORATED HEREIN OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. BLUE GRAVITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REVISE THIS AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME. CUSTOMER'S CONTINUED USE OF SERVICE CONSTITUTES CONTINUED ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
The term of service is determined by Customer's selection on the order form during the order process or by Customer's request to Blue Gravity's Customer Service Department ("Customer Service") to change to a different currently offered term. The term shall begin upon the processing of Customer's order, which may not necessarily coincide with the commencement of service, or upon completion of requested changes by Customer Service.
Upon completion of the term, Customer acknowledges and agrees that the term will renew automatically for successive terms of length equal to the prior term.
Blue Gravity may refuse to accept an order for service at its sole and exclusive discretion. Blue Gravity provides no guarantee or assurance to the time in which a new order will be processed. Any fees charged to Customer for an order that was refused will be returned in full.

Customer acknowledges if using a payment method other than credit card, payment must be received prior to term's expiration to ensure uninterrupted service. Blue Gravity may, at its sole discretion, suspend or terminate service without notice if Customer fails to provide payment for the new term.
If Customer initiates a chargeback with the provider of a credit card or initiates a similar action to a payment provider allowed by Blue Gravity for charges billed by Blue Gravity for service, service will be immediately cancelled without notice. Reestablishment of service following a chargeback or similar action will require sufficient explanation for the action and payment of the disputed charge and Blue Gravity's bank dispute fee. Blue Gravity, at its sole discretion, will determine whether any explanation provided for a chargeback or similar action is sufficient.
Blue Gravity may offer a money back guarantee for select new hosting service. If a money back guarantee is available for service, Customer must request cancellation of service within the time frame permitted by the guarantee and refund must be explicitly requested. If cancelling service in accordance with a Money Back Guarantee, any promotions received in combination with the service will not be fulfilled.This includes but is not limited to any domain name registration provided free of charge with hosting service.

This limit is 81920 files. Customer acknowldeges that this limit exists for all hosting service and can not be adjusted.

The web site statistics will be generated automatically based on the web server activity associated with the hosting service. Blue Gravity makes every attempt but does not guarantee to provide web site statistics on a daily basis.

..... entourage defrauded by Great African Travels and Tour Accra, Feb. 16, GNA - Twenty-five queenmothers and their entourage numbering sixty-four who trooped to the British High Commission last Monday with the hope of collecting their visas to enable them to visit Queen Elizabeth of England found that their applications had been refused.
The Queen mothers, fully dressed in the various traditional or ceremonial regalia, were from the Volta, Ashanti, Brong Ahafo and the northern regions.
But they had another shock later when Nana Yaa Bodom, 51, Managing Director of Great African Travels and Tour, who had planned the tour and collected 3,000 US dollars each from the 64 people, including the queenmothers, totalling 192,000 US dollars, failed to refund the money.
On Wednesday, Bodom appeared before a Circuit Court charged with defrauding by false pretence.
Her plea was not taken and the case was adjourned to February 22. She was remanded in Police custody to assist in further investigations.
Prosecuting, Chief Inspector Bennett Safo told the court, presided over by Mr Nathaniel Osam that last year, the accused person went round the country claming that she was organizing a tour of London for Queenmothers nationwide to visit Queen Elizabeth and other traditional institutions in the United Kingdom.
Chief Inspector Safo said Bodom succeeded in collecting an amount of 3,000 US dollars each from the sixty-four people but failed to honour her promise.

The Seine River cuts through the heart of Paris, comprising the city’s historic channel for commercial trade. 37 bridges cross the Seine River within the city limits of Paris. Bridges such as the Pont des Arts, the famous Lock Bridge in Paris, complement the views of the river and the city at night. Aside from adding to the visual splendor of the City of Lights, the many bridges of Paris served a historically utilitarian purpose in protecting the city. No visit to Paris is complete without taking a stroll along one of its many bridges. Here is a list of some of our favorite bridges in Paris.
At The Paris Guy, we want your experience in the City of Lights to be nothing short of magical. We love Paris, and we want our love for Paris to show in your experience with us. That’s why we offer a range of Paris tours designed to make the most of your visit to Paris. Experience the Seine River and some of its many bridges for yourself with our Eiffel Tower evening tour featuring a sunset cruise along the Seine River. Make the most of your visit to the City of Lights with The Paris Guy.
The city of Paris did not always have bridges crossing the Seine River. It wasn’t until 864 A.D. that the passing of the Edict of Pistres mandated the building of bridges across the Seine River in response to the sack of Paris by Vikings in 845 A.D. This strategy proved effective during the Siege of Paris in 885 A.D. as Viking ships were unable to pass beyond the bridges crossing the Seine.
There are now thirty-seven bridges crossing the Seine River within the city limits of Paris. Of these 37, only five are pedestrian bridges. Here are some of the most iconic bridges in Paris.
The Pont des Arts connects the Institut de France with The Louvre. The bridge was originally constructed in 1804 during the reign of Napoleon. The original Pont des Arts suffered two aerial bombardments during World War I and II, as well as numerous collisions with boats before collapsing in 1979 after a ship rammed into it.
The present-day bridge was built in 1984 and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the rest of the Seine Riverfront in Paris. The Pont des Arts is a popular spot for picnics and open-air art studios. The bridge’s position along the Seine River and The Louvre makes it a popular spot for photographers as well. The Pont des Arts is most famous for being the Lock Bridge in Paris. Visitors to the bridge attach personalized padlocks to its railing and throw the keys away in the Seine River. Despite the government of Paris removing many of the locks in 2015, over a million more (approximately 45 tons) have been placed on the bridge since then.
The Passerelle Simone-de-Beauvoir is named for French philosopher and activist Simone de Beauvoir and is the most recently-built bridge in Paris. Completed in 2006, the Passerelle Simone-de-Beauvoir is used solely by bicyclists and pedestrians and leads to the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the French national library. The modern design of this footbridge boasts a lens-shaped structure that does not touch the water at any section of the bridge. Its supports rest on the banks of the Seine River at each side.
The Pont Alexandre III is Paris’ famous Beaux-Arts style bridge. Named after Tsar Alexander III and built in 1900, the Pont Alexandre III boasts iconic sculptures depicting fames and nymphs from Greek and Roman mythology. The bridge debuted at the Exposition Universelle in 1900 along with the Grand Palais and Petit Palais. The Pont Alexandre III is built in alignment with Les Invalides and connects its buildings and the Eiffel Tower with the Champs-Élysées. The bridge’s exuberant design is featured in cameo appearances in movies such as Ronin, Midnight in Paris and Anastasia.
The Pont Neuf is Paris’ oldest existing bridge across the Seine River. The bridge is located on the westernmost point of the Île de la Cité, one of Paris’ two natural islands in the Seine River. Henry IV completed construction of this “new bridge” and inaugurated the structure in 1607. Visitors to the Pont Neuf will enjoy its many sculptures including the mascarons, stone masks that line the side of the bridge, and the bronze statue of Henry IV on horseback located at the crossing of the Île de la Cité.
Formerly the Pont de Passy, the Pont de Bir-Hakeim is named for the World War II Battle of Bir-Hakeim which involved French and German forces in Africa in 1942. This dual-level bridge hosts one level for pedestrians and motor vehicles and another level with a railway viaduct. This steel bridge passes through the artificial island of Île aux Cygnes, where visitors will see a replica of the Statue of Liberty. The Pont de Bir-Hakeim makes cameo appearances in blockbuster movies such as Inception and National Treasure: Book of Secrets.
With 37 bridges crossing the Seine River in Paris, visitors to the city will enjoy the fresh perspective the river brings to the scenery of Paris. One of the best ways to experience the many bridges of Paris is from the Seine River itself. Admire the city’s many bridges on a Seine River cruise. Experience the nighttime view of the City of Lights with our evening Eiffel Tower tour featuring a sunset cruise of the Seine River and complimentary champagne toast. Make the most of your Paris experience on one of many Paris tours with The Paris Guy.

Just as it is named, this is a simple sausage and bean bake. According to Rachel Allen, you can use any kind of sausage you like for a different result each time. I've used Hot Italian Sausages, and for the beans, I've used borlotti beans since I have that in my pantry. Very easy to cook, firstly, saute the onion and garlic in a little oil until onions are soft, about 5 minutes, Season with salt and pepper, add the tomatoes and beans, and bring to a boil, season to taste with some pinches of sugar. Add the sliced sausages and transfer everything to the baking dish, bake for about 40 minutes until bubbling.
This is delicious! We ate this with my Homemade Sour Bread (from Rachel Allen's recipe), which I kept frozen and simply thaw and reheat it again, wrapped in foil for a few minutes. We had a most satisfying lunch and request from the kids to cook this again! I will definitely be baking this simple bean bake again, with different sausages the next time.
Preheat the oven to 200C (400F), Gas mark 6.
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan set over a medium heat, add the onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper, cover and cook, stirring every now and then, for 5-8 minutes until the onions are soft.
Add the tomatoes and beans and bring to the boil. Season to taste with a few good pinches of sugar and more salt if necessary.
Add the sausages to the tomatoes and beans, then tip everything into the pie dish and bake in the oven for 40 minutes or until the sausages are cooked and the mixture is bubbling. Serve with baked potatoes or pasta or lots of crusty white bread.
A very satisfying and delicious meal, Joyce.
Wonderful looking beans, perfect for the bbq season.

The location was nice, a small park on an ancient fortress. Too many seated places for a big audience and many people had to stay far from the stage dancing and singing to the music in the distance. People seated maybe sang along too, but sloth, heat and age let them just lazily beat the rhythm by feet.
Tracy and the band offered a great show, musically perfect though a little bit unemotional. Some new songs, some covers and many old beloved successes. Unfortunately the second last album, the great “where you live” was missed. Too bad. But fans enjoyed the show and when Tracy left and the lights were turned on, the rest of the night felt better with a nice live soundtrack playing in everyone’s mind.

The first in a long line of imaginatively titled BBC Test Cards,this is Test Card A. It was broadcast in the late 1940's and is credited as the world's first television test card to be transmitted.
The 2.5 MC frequency grating was of most interest to engineers, hence its location in the centre of the circle.
Although a great improvement on anything previously available, Test Card A and it's near relative, card B was criticised for not having sufficient testing features.
Test Card B has been lost! A photograph exists of a studio, with a partial view of Test Card B on a stand. George Hersee described it in his 1967 work, but it is believed that no copies of the full card remain in existence, unless of course, you know better?
It was similar to card A but with an extra greyscale strip below the circle. The letterbox just above "A" moved to the top of the card. It was never actually broadcast, but was used for camera line-up at Alexander Palace.
This first made an appearance in 1948 and was used by the BBC and other agencies into the 1970's.
One problem with Test Card C was that it wasn't created from a specification. This led to numerous variants, each local transmitter held a different version. It was however immensely popular.
In 1964, field tests for the forthcoming BBC2 used this SMPTE test card.
Test Card D made its first appearance in 1964 in glorious 405 line B&W accompanied by state of the art mono sound.
It replaced test Card C, on which the design was based. This was the first Test Card to be produced in response to a technical specification.
Test card E, very similar to D, but with modified "sinusoidal" frequency gratings for the new 625 line service on BBC 2.
Whilst being correct from an engineering viewpoint, the TV trade didn't like the way this image looked on their sets and complained vociferously. Test Card E was withdrawn after only one days transmission in April 1964. It has since been used abroad.
The replacement for test card E was this, a modified version of Test Card C.
It was used on BBC 2 from its birth in 1964 until colour was introduced in 1967 and Test Card F took over.
The most famous test card of all, Test Card F, still in use today by the BBC and used in 30 other countries. Designed by George Hersee and featuring his daughter Carole Hersee, it made its first appearance on BBC2 in 1967.
Left is the original version of Test Card F, BBC2. Did you know that the X on the noughts and crosses board was included to indicate the approximate centre of the card?
The key differences between the original and today's version are the labels for the frequency grating and the addition of a colour bar at the top.
In 1984, Test Card F was converted to an electronic version. However this example pre-dates this, and is a strange hybrid from 1981. The Test Card is generated by a slide scanner, but the identification is electronically overlaid, as the slide says "BBC2". The colour bars have been introduced at the top, and in this example have been poorly superimposed.
When the electronically generated version first came in to use, there was no station identification. It was several months before a new character generator became available to overlay the ident caption, which, when it arrived, was very plain.
Test Card G used by the BBC at various times, although only broadcast occasionally. It is a slightly modified version of the standard Philips PM5544 test pattern. It was the first "electronically generated" test card from the BBC.
Here's an off-screen photograph of Test Card G as seen on BBC2 in the seventies.
Test Card G also had a few seasonal variations, such as when BBC engineers decorated TCG with a Christmas BBC2 caption.
Others may remember this "Test Card G", from Pye. It is a modified Test Card C with an extra outer circle.
Unfortunately there was often confusion as broadcasters, television manufacturers and other trade organisations gave different cards the same names.
Test Card H at the BBC. This was never broadcast, but was used internally for testing purposes.
Often the test card captions would provide additional information as this "Reduced Power" version of Test Card D demonstrates.
An early variant of Test Card F, before the famous picture of Carole Hersee was chosen.
Another very early non-broadcast version of Test Card F. I don't know what these were used for, or when they were used.
A New BBC Test Card?
This electronically generated image was broadcast on 21st June 1997 on BBC2 between 3am and 4am. It was accompanied by a 4-tone test tone, ranging from extremely low frequency to a very high shrill.
BBC2 stayed up all night on this occasion, during the rest of the night the normal TCF and tone was used.
It was also broadcast between 0329 and 0344 on 5th Oct 1997 from Crystal Palace.
On 5th Oct 1997, whilst BBC2 was broadcasting the above, BBC1 was showing this slightly modified Test Card G. It was accompanied by the standard BBC1 stereo tones. For both of these, sound was in NICAM but there was no teletext or PDC signals. BBC1 and BBC2 both switched over to these images at the same time, and reverted back to Test Card F at the same time. It is thought they were broadcast only from Crystal Palace, unless of course you spotted them elsewhere?
They were broadcast as part of a switching test by the BBC. If there were ever a major incident at Television Centre, London, BBC Network Television would evacuate to Pebble Mill, Birmingham. A switch would be thrown so that Birmingham were in control of the network, where they would then attempt to run as normal a service as possible.
These two test cards were transmitted from Birmingham, in order to test that the switching facility worked.
With the launch of the new BBC logo, both test cards were changed to reflect the new caption.
These were both first seen from 0630 on 4th October 1997 and last seen on BBC1 at 0706 on 9th November 1997.
Unfortunately BBC1 now broadcasts 24 hours a day, showing the new rolling news channel instead of closing down overnight. Therefore we have probably seen the last test card on BBC1 and the days of the test card on BBC2 are numbered. BBC2 already stays up all night with the Learning Zone, with opportunities for the test card limited to early morning weekends and educational holidays.
Broadcast on BBC1 on 18 March 1993 as part of "Comic Relief" week. Anyone know who the would-be Carole Hersee is?
Seen in and around Television Centre, but not by the public, the Tellytubbies launch their own test card.
This early widescreen Test Card was broadcast by the BBC as part of digital tests on Astra 1D in mid March 1998. It does not have a designation letter, although it is clearly Test Card F adapted.
Test Card J replaced TCF, both sport a new centre image, rescanned from the original photgraphic work and showing much more of the picture. Test Card J has been broadcast on BBC2, Test Card W was shown on "Have I Got News For You" and on News 24 during the BBC Power Failure on 20th June 2000.

Sarah Brightman (born 14 August 1960) is an English classical crossover soprano, actress, songwriter and dancer. She has sung in many languages, including English, Spanish, French, Latin, German, Italian, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese and Occitan.
Brightman began her career as a member of the dance troupe Hot Gossip and released several disco singles as a solo performer. In 1981, she made her West End musical theatre debut in Cats and met composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, whom she married. She went on to star in several Broadway musicals, including The Phantom of the Opera, where she originated the role of Christine Daaé. The Original London Cast Album of the musical was released in CD format in 1987 and sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it the biggest-selling cast album of all time.
After retiring from the stage and divorcing Lloyd Webber, Brightman resumed her music career with former Enigma producer Frank Peterson, this time as a classical crossover artist. She is often credited as the creator of this genre and remains among the most prominent performers, with worldwide sales of more than 30 million records and 2 million DVDs, establishing herself as the world's best-selling soprano of all time. Her duet with the Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, "Time To Say Goodbye", topped charts all over Europe and became the highest and fastest selling single of all time in Germany, where it stayed at the top of the charts for fourteen consecutive weeks and sold over 3 million copies. Subsequently became an international success selling 12 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling singles of all time. She has now collected over 180 gold and platinum sales awards in 38 different countries. In 2010 she was named by Billboard the 5th most influential and top-selling classical artist of the 2000s decade in the US.
Brightman is the first artist to have been invited twice to perform at the Olympic Games, first at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games where she sang "Amigos Para Siempre" with the Spanish tenor Jose Carreras with an estimated global audience of a billion people, and sixteen years later in Beijing, this time with Chinese singer Liu Huan, performing the song "You and Me" to an estimated 4 billion people worldwide. Since 2010, Brightman is Panasonic's global brand ambassador. Together they launched the song "Shall Be Done" at the 2010 Winter Games held in Vancouver, Canada. Brightman is the face of Panasonic's strategic partnership agreement with the UNESCO World Heritage Centre as she stars in their joint campaign, "The World Heritage Special," that was aired on the National Geographic Channel worldwide.
In early 2012 Brightman was appointed as the UNESCO artist for peace for the period 2012–2014 for her “commitment to humanitarian and charitable causes, her contribution, throughout her artistic career, to the promotion of cultural dialogue and the exchanges among cultures, and her dedication to the ideals and aims of the Organization”.
In 2012 In conjunction with Virgin Galactic, The Brightman STEM Scholarship program (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) was launched. It will help young women in the US pursue STEM education across their four year college careers.
Apart from music, Brightman has begun a film career, making her debut in Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008), a rock opera-musical film directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, and in autumn 2011 and early 2012 Stephen Evans' "First Night", starring opposite Richard E. Grant. In addition, she formed her own production company, Instinct Films, where her first film is in pre-production. Brightman is the world's richest female classical performer with a fortune of £30m (about US$49m).

text: I was driving westbound on 64 just before you get to the Caseyville exit and 255 North ramp. At first I saw a bright object in the top left of my windshield, and really had not paid much attention to it. After about ten seconds or so it was still there and the wheels starting turning in my head. It’s gloomy out, nearly sunset and something very bright, orangish silver white very large ball in the sky towards STL, but probably past the city. In my windshield it was about the size of a dime, maybe smaller. Pretty intense unique glowing orb or sphere, could not see any solidity to it, whatever it was it was big, and powerful, and seemed to be stationary. I checked my blind spot, changed lanes and it was gone. Nothing in the sky at all, this was too high to be any sort of land based object, too late in night and gloomy to be a reflection. I wish I never took my eyes off it because now I will never be able to piece together what I saw or where it went. I cannot believe it was not on the news, or posted online somehow. This sighting seems similar to some other sightings, but this was not any sort of misidentified jet or craft, no blinking or anything like that, just an intense ball of light..............I am baffled, maybe someone else will come forward, I feel alone on this one.

On March 5th the Boxing world focused its attention on two important Heavyweight fights that impacted not only the rankings in the Heavyweight division as it relates to the World Boxing Association (WBA), but more specifically the recently announced tournament format by the organization that will theoretically put an end to the use of interim/regular champion designations below the recognized WBA world champion.
What made these two bouts particularly interesting was that it involved two fighters who were designated as having interim/regular champion status, or to be more specific the top two contenders in the WBA Heavyweight ratings. The first of the two bouts took place at the Colosseum Sport Hall in Grozny, Russia where former WBA Heavyweight world champion Ruslan Chagaev put his designation on the line against undefeated top contender Lucas Browne.
The story of this fight for much of the first half was Browne’s ability to work consistently off his jab, mix in combinations, and use lateral movement to dictate how the fight was fought. Although many rounds in the first half of the bout were fought at a tactical pace where it was not easy to determine which fighter had an edge over the other, it was clear that Browne was the fighter who was controlling how the combat was taking place and that is what gave him the edge in the eyes of this observer.
In round six however, Chagaev would almost bring a sudden end to the fight. First, the former world champion cut his opponent over the left eye and then dropped Browne later in the round with a flush overhand left. Even though Browne was clearly hurt and appeared as though he may have been in danger of being stopped, the Australian-based contender showed his mettle by surviving the round and the fight continued.
The two fighters engaged in a toe to toe war in the seventh round. Although Browne looked to be out on his feet at the end of round six, he did not respond in a defensive manner in the seventh round and was more than willing to exchange punch for punch with Chagaev.
After the fierce battle that developed in round seven, rounds eight and nine largely resembled the way the first half of the fight was fought. Browne Boxing on the outside behind a consistent jab, mixing in combinations, using lateral movement, and only allowing Chagaev to get his punches off sporadically.
Even though Chagaev nearly brought an end to matters in round six, it would be Browne who would bring the fight to its conclusion in round ten. A flush right hand would send the former world champion Chagaev down to the canvas late in the round. Although Chagaev was able to beat the count, Browne would respond by pummeling the defenseless former world champion along the ropes before the fight was stopped.
Lucas Browne essentially answered questions that are commonly asked of undefeated prospects/contenders who are known as “Knockout Artists.” He not only showed the ability to box effectively and execute an effective tactical fight plan, but he also showed the ability to get up from the knockdown, survive circumstances where fights have been stopped, and respond by turning the tables on his opponent to get a knockout win.
Although the victory over Chagaev was simply the first step for Browne, who scored his twenty-fourth professional victory and his twenty-first knockout, it was a star making performance that immediately established him as a player in the division and one might argue off of his performance against Chagaev that he could be a favorite to go all the way to the finals of this would be tournament concept should it fully run its course.
Next up for Browne will be a fight against longtime Heavyweight contender Fres Oquendo at a date to be determined. Although the forty-two year old Oquendo will likely be viewed as an underdog not only against Browne, but in this would be tournament concept, he has faced many of the top contenders and world champions in the Heavyweight division of the last decade and no doubt has significant experience in his favor. It will be interesting to see how Oquendo will attempt to combat Browne if and when a bout between the two takes place.
The second Heavyweight encounter that took place on March 5th was a battle between undefeated knockout artist Luis Ortiz and longtime Heavyweight contender Tony Thompson, which took place at the DC Armory in Washington, D.C. Unlike the battle between Chagaev and Browne, which had immediate ramifications on the WBA’s tournament concept, Ortiz, the second fighter designated as having interim/regular champion status in the WBA’s Heavyweight ratings did not have that designation at stake when he faced Thompson.
Readers may recall in previewing this fight last week this observer stated that although Ortiz’ designation as having interim/regular champion status would not be at stake theoretically in this fight against Thompson, that I believed if Thompson were able to win the fight that the WBA would likely remove Ortiz’ designation, despite not officially sanctioning the bout. Despite a significant experience edge against top competition as compared to Ortiz, Thompson entered into this fight having lost three of his last five fights and appeared to be on the decline.
This observer stated that it was logical to assume that Thompson would have to weather some of Ortiz’ power and that once it happened I believed we would find out how much the forty-four year old battle tested veteran Thompson had left to give as a fighter. It became clear almost from the outset that Thompson’s best days were behind him.
Ortiz would drop Thompson with a flush left hand midway through the first round. Although it was not the first punch Ortiz landed in the fight, the fact that he was able to knock Thompson down with the first punch he was able to land cleanly was troubling in the eyes of this observer. Thompson was able to beat the count, but fought this fight largely on the defensive and did not offer much in the way of resistance.
Ortiz would score a second knockdown of Thompson as a result of another left hand at the end of round three. As was the case in the first round, Thompson was able to get up off the canvas, but the sporadic offense that he was able to put forth in this fight simply did not discourage Ortiz was coming forward nor was Thompson’s offense able to turn the momentum in his favor.
The largely one-sided bout would come to an end in round six when Ortiz would score a third and final knockdown of Thompson with yet another left hand that sent the always “Game” Thompson down for the count. Simply put Luis Ortiz did what he had to do against an opponent who could not offer much resistance.
Although some may argue that the single punch knockdowns that ultimately led to Thompson’s downfall in this fight were an example of just how hard Luis Ortiz hits, this observer was concerned for Thompson’s well-being as I watched this fight. In previewing this fight, I stated that one has to wonder if Tony Thompson’s age as well as the wear and tear of a long career would be a factor in the fight.
Even though there is no dispute that Luis Ortiz is among the Heavyweight division’s feared power punchers, it appeared at least in this observer’s eyes that perhaps Thompson simply could not absorb the type punishment that Ortiz was throwing at him as he was able to against power punching Heavyweights earlier in his career. After forty-seven professional fights and losing four of his last six bouts, this could be the end of the road for one of the division’s cornerstones of the last several years. Tony Thompson has always given everything he has each time he has stepped in the ring and if this is the end for him as a fighter he has nothing to be ashamed of after having a fine career.
As for Luis Ortiz his position as one of two fighters holding interim/regular champion status in the WBA’s Heavyweight ratings remains secure. As for where things stand for this tournament concept after these two Heavyweight bouts, in addition to Lucas Browne meeting Fres Oquendo in the future, Luis Ortiz will face top contender Alexander Ustinov in his first official fight in the tournament and a rematch between unified WBO/WBA/IBO Heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury and longtime former champion Wladimir Klitschko will round out the would be first round of this tournament concept.
The winners of Fury-Klitschko II and Ortiz-Ustinov will square off in the semi-finals with that winner to face the winner of Browne-Oquendo in the finals tentatively scheduled to take place between December of this year or January 2017. Although it would be nice to see this tournament concept run its course and finally see an end to interim/regular championship status designations and for the concept to be adapted throughout the entire sport, the important thing one should keep in mind is that the politics that be in the sport will always play a factor in one facet or another and one cannot rule out the possibility of circumstances emerging that could change the landscape of this tournament concept as has been the case in previous tournament concepts in Professional Boxing over the years.
For now, although some may choose to be skeptical as to whether or not this tournament concept will fully run its course, this observer chooses to remain optimistic and hopeful that the end result will not just be the end of a policy of interim/regular championship status that although well-intended has created more problems than solutions, but hopeful that what ultimately comes out of this concept will be something that will have long-term benefits for not only the Heavyweight division, but the entire sport if it is successful. We simply must wait for what is next in store for the WBA Heavyweight tournament concept. This observer is looking forward to it.

I've just installed Plane Finder on my new S7 and while the application seems to work fine for some reason it is unable to determine my location. Every time I start the app it starts off looking at England and the Augmented Reality isn't functional. Other apps I've installed are able to determine my location fine, it's just seems to be Plane Finder that is unable to determine it.
Go to android settings menu, app settings, plane finder app settings. There should be an option in there to enable location services. That worked for me.
Why does Plane Finder not request that permission when it installs? I even uninstalled it and reinstalled in case I somehow missed it, but no, no mention of it.
Must just be a coding error since most apps ask for necessary permissions. Or, maybe it works in most versions but not marshmallow, who knows.

A change of pace this week as fellow Wildlife Articles blogger Eleanor Daisy Upstill-Goddard writes on the subject of raptor persecution. An issue close to the hearts of many, myself included, which has attracted a great deal of attention of late. And rightfully so, with abhorrent instances of illegal killing still seemingly commonplace in our countryside, despite the best efforts of conservationists and the supposedly stringent laws put in place to protect our wildlife. You can find about more about Eleanor on her website or follow her on Twitter for future updates, but for now, let’s get to it.
Britain. We have been an island nation for over 8000 years. An island nation that has played host to some of the world’s most magnificent specimens from the animal kingdom. However, as many of us are all too aware, over the past 8000 years, things have changed somewhat and we now find ourselves without many of these iconic species. In 2016, the state of British ecosystems is very different to 6000BC. Although in some respects this is down to dramatic changes in climate and the natural changes this causes to habitats and species compositions, much of it is down to something else. Down to the actions of one species. The humanoid. That’s right, over the centuries, the actions of us humans have caused many changes and problems for our wildlife and biodiversity. In recent years, we have recognised the magnitude of such changes and this has caused the growth of many campaign groups, charities and individuals who have fought to improve and save many of our species and habitats. However, when it comes to British conservation problems, there are still many hurdles we need to overcome.
So, what are these problems? Well, put it this way, if I were to list each individual topic, it would take quite some time to get through and afterwards, we would probably be left feeling very depressed and deflated indeed. So! Perhaps it would be best if we tried to tackle or address one at a time? For me, there is one that is very high on the agenda, which, if we are honest, should not really be a problem at all. Why? Because it is illegal. What am I talking about? Raptor persecution. To purposefully kill or harm any one of our raptor species (except the sparrow hawk; outlawed 1961) has been illegal since 1954. However, regrettably, it would seem that throughout the decades, their protection status has done little to shield them from persecution. But wait! Hang on there one minute! Little to protect them? Look at the Red Kite! Extinct in England in 1871 and now, in 2016, they are thriving! The same for the Buzzard! A once highly persecuted bird that is now come back with vengeance. Well, indeed and thank goodness! Now, although nobody is denying the success of these comeback kings, what about the Hen Harrier? Is that a tumbleweed? The Hen Harrier is a species, which, on our shores, cannot seem to catch a break. A species that is constantly battling extinction, predominantly due to the inability of some to accommodate this magnificent species on their land. In the case of this raptor and some others, their protection status would seem little more than a formality, a formality to be flouted and ignored. So, you say Red Kite, I say, Hen Harrier, you say Buzzard, I say Golden Eagle. Although the status of many of our birds of prey have improved, it is still not enough. It is not enough that an activity that has been outlawed for over 60 years, is still practised by some who seem to perceive themselves as above the law.
But some think we raptor lovers and conservationists are merely kicking up a stink because we like to complain (apparently). So, there are ‘a few bad apples’ (my favourite line) that commit such crimes, but most people don’t and most people work within the law. Right. It never ceases to amaze me how an activity that is labelled illegal can be so nonchalantly cast aside. I wonder if we applied the same reasoning to other crimes if the response would be quite so lacklustre. If we were talking of robbery or murder, would we say oh well! It’s only a few bad apples! With nothing done to remove them? I think not. It seems to me that because this crime concerns wildlife, the action taken to prevent it leaves a lot to be desired. But perhaps I’m being overly dramatic? Yes, raptor persecution exists, but is it really as bad as it is made out to be? As it is often argued by some, incidences of raptor persecution are falling.
In 2002, the reported incidences of raptor persecution, including shooting, trapping, poisoning, egg collecting, nest disturbance and possession was numbering 591 cases, compared with 356 in 2014. Now, I am not about to deny that 591 is indeed a higher number than 356, nor am I going to dispute that this does indeed constitute a drop in numbers. However, over a 12 year period, the drop could be greater. In fact, in my eyes 356, which is a rough estimation, is still far too high. Just because numbers seem to be falling, it does not mean that the issue is being resolved, with each year bringing new and shocking cases of persecution. In fact, many believe that numbers of persecution cases are much higher than the data suggests. Why? Is it just us conservationists being determined to take a gloomy look on life? Desperate to sit in the cloud and ignore the apparent silver lining? Not quite. In fact, that belief is quite a justified and logical one. Imagine this. You are an individual who does not look upon birds of prey with a friendly eye, in fact, you are a person who is going to harm them. But you know it is illegal, you know that the laws against such an activity are becoming harsher and you know the public are becoming more aware of the problem. You see a Red Kite. You check you have no unwanted observers and you take aim, hitting your target. Would you say job done, and go home? Or would you watch where your quarry fell, retrieve it and dispose of it, so that there was no evidence of your crime? If you were smart and had the ability to do so, you would get rid of the evidence. Your crime goes unchecked, unchallenged and falls into nothingness. So, do we believe all recorded cases of raptor persecution are the only cases? Most certainly not.
Raptor persecution is a British problem. It is not limited to one country, one county or one species. It is indiscriminate and unspecific in its nature. It could take the form of a Goshawk nest disturbed in a southern county forest, or a Hen Harrier shot in the Scottish Highlands. For some people, birds of prey will never be welcome. They are seen as crass and dangerous species who are capable of destroying business and livelihoods and unfortunately, this is enough to cement opinion against them. However, on the enlightened side of the coin, they are recognised as magnificent, unique and important species who have a crucial and rightful place within British habitats, increasing our biodiversity and improving the health of our ecosystems. They are important predators, scavengers and bio-indicators of ecosystem health, and where there are healthy populations of raptors, there are thriving ecosystems.
In Britain, we have already lost some of our important natural predators. The Brown Bear, Grey Wolf and Eurasian Lynx currently reside on the list of species that were hunted to extinction many centuries ago. Raptor species should never be allowed to be added to that list. It is time that those opinions still displayed by our wildlife criminals were cast back into the Medieval times where they belong. Birds of prey are not mindless, savage, cold killers, they are vital members of our biodiversity. Destroy a bird of prey and you are destroying the ecosystem health of your country and that is a crime that cannot be allowed.
I’m in total agreement that more needs to be done to stem the disgusting habits of certain elements of the countryside, but what gets me, other than the despicable acts themselves, is how we as a nation can admonish the likes of Malta and Cyprus for their lust in killing song birds etc. yet all the while our own house is not in order. We have certain royals who talk about the need to stop trophy hunting, while spending weekends blasting grouse and pheasants out of the sky, Basically our hypocrisy is disgraceful.

Gerald Ronson (pictured), chief executive of Heron International (which operates Snax 24), at the company's annual lunch in London.
"Entrepreneurs should not be the targets," he told the audience of 400 business leaders and opinion formers. "Entrepreneurship needs to be encouraged - not penalised and driven out of the country. Entrepreneurs take personal and financial risk and create employment and enterprise. We have to be careful because it wouldn't take a lot for us to slip back into recession and that's before the effect of inflation on the economy."
He said that it didn't matter which political party was in power, there were only two ways for them to reduce debt: "Just the same as any organisation, reduce expenditure or create fresh revenue streams."
He also said the next government should tread carefully when making decisions on regulation and the commercial regime. "The UK is highly dependent on professional and financial services which have replaced the manufacturing industry we once had. We need to maintain the City of London as a vibrant and attractive environment for international business."
It's been a big week for Heron International as it celebrated the 'topping out' of the Heron Tower, now officially the tallest building in the City of London. Work started in 2006 and it will completed by April 2011.

Today has been the most devastating day during this entire pregnancy. I am trying to remind myself to be grateful for the little blessings I am able to witness and experience when it comes to Jaxlee, because they will most likely be the only things I will have to hold onto.
Today we got to see our sweet Jaxlee again, and we were told survival after she arrives is highly unlikely. Her fluid levels are not only continuing to rise but she has a large amount of fluid surrounding her heart and lungs and the pressure from this fluid will prevent her lungs from developing completely. She is a very sick baby but her heart is still fighting as hard as ever. Without lung development it will just be a matter of time when the Lord will take her after she is here, if she makes it to delivery.
Jaxlee is only measuring about 17 weeks and 5 days gestation (length wise) which is small considering I am going on my 21st week, but this is normal with Turner Syndrome. I was also curious why I am so much larger this pregnancy than my second, and today I got that answer. The doctor told me I look about 32 weeks pregnant and just as she had predicted the massive amount of fluid surrounding Jaxlee was making her measure 32 weeks – 12 weeks larger than she actually is supposed to be. My heart breaks for her, and my heart is so heavy.
At this point as her levels continue to rise I am looking at having to have a c-section (Cesarean Section) when the time comes to deliver her. My biggest fear all along has been having to go through this pregnancy, delivering her, and dealing with everything that comes with birth and having to leave the hospital without her. Each and every appointment makes this day seem more and more real. I kept telling myself “just get her here and she will be ok.” If she can survive this pregnancy and birth she will be perfect… but without her tiny little lungs functioning properly reality is setting in. God has planned every single part of our being and there is very little our bodies can function without, this is reality. She NEEDS her lungs.
Why is it so easy, so quick to lose hope when you have worked so hard to restore it? I trust God, I trust His power, I trust his ability and I know He is a god of miracles, BUT I also know that not all prayers are answered in the way we believe is best for us. Today I am struggling with selfishness, and questioning God who I know is in control, who has not only the plans for me laid out before Him but the plans for Jaxlee as well, but it is hard to always know it. As the end result becomes more and more clear as to what will come of her life, I don’t know how to prepare myself. I know I need to be prepared, more than I am… more than I thought I was. I have known since the beginning that she only had a 1% chance of survival, but she proved to be a fighter beating the odds that were so clearly set against her. I hung on so tightly to hope, I hung on to her ability to fight and trusted that God was allowing her to fight for a purpose. A purpose that put Jaxlee in my arms and gave her a playful and full life with her sisters who love her so very much. I feel that grip I have on this hope loosening, slipping away against my will. I am allowing the stench of doubt to creep in and it is consuming me much quicker than I would ever have anticipated. I am to the point where I am begging God please…FIX me, remove my doubt, re-restore my hope! I know better, I know your word has proven to be true, and you’re capable of the healing and restoration that I am so desperate for.
This is by far the hardest post I have made. I can not even begin to express the emotions that I am experiencing, I feel like an earthquake has gone off inside of me and I don’t know where to even begin to pick up the pieces. I feel like they are all so out of control I can’t even maintain any kind of emotional normalcy. I know after getting the news we did today I should not be expected to be “normal,” but for the sake of everyone around me, maintaining some sort of “emotional stability” is important to me.
Please, please pray for my family, Jaxlee, and her health. We are forever in debt to those who have reached out to us and prayed for us and over us. We are so very grateful for each and every single one of you. Keep praying because I need those prayers today and now more than I have ever before.
This is her heart, still beating, surrounded by fluid. The other (featured/top) picture is her abdomen, with edemas swelling her to about twice the size it should be.
Praying for your rest in the comforting presence of Christ.
God numbers her days. He is the great physician. Praying for grace for your family.
So sorry Karah. This is heartbreaking news. Praying for you, Jaxlee, and your family. Your feelings are completly understandable. I hope you can be gentle with yourself.
Karah- In situations like this, I always wish there were some magic words I could say that would take away the pain and suffering. But there are not. And that’s by God’s design. Because the glory that comes out of things like this is not the disappearance of the suffering but the goodness of God who carries us through that suffering, who gives us peace in the swirl of fear and chaos, and whose mercy is magnified no matter how things turn out.
But until you get through to the other side, the pain still stinks, doesn’t it? And for that, my heart grieves with you. I’ve prayed that God will give you peace, comfort, and increased trust in Him during this hard road He’s given you to walk. Blessings and peace to you, sister.
