Editor’s note: CNN’s On the Road series brings you a greater insight into the history, customs and culture of Ghana. CNN explores the places, the people and the passions unique to this African nation.
(CNN) — Durable, shock resistant and, most of all, growing in a ready-to-use tubular form, it’s a wonder bamboo hasn’t always been used to make bicycle frames. While the prototype for a bamboo-framed bicycle was first developed as early as 1894 — causing a minor sensation when it was unveiled at a London technology show at the time — the idea never took off.
While mass production for a company that currently employs about 30 people means turning out just 60 to 100 of the beautiful handmade bicycles a month, Dapaah is confident of scaling up the operation. Here the advent of a minimal amount of technology has made all the difference. “We still do it by hand, but now we’ve got a construction jig and this makes manufacture that much faster,” she told CNN from the small factory outside the capital Accra.
Using a method developed by American engineer Craig Calfee — a renowned bicycle designer who first experimented with bamboo bicycles in 1995 — the frames are lashed together with fiber and then coated with epoxy. Sturdy, and with a greater weight-to-strength ratio than steel, the bikes are robust, make for a smooth ride and are gaining a small but devoted following in Europe.
Their first prototype came out of the factory more than four years ago and is still in operation. Dapaah said the bikes are remarkably durable and there’s every indication that the first model will continue for many years to come.
With just two sticks of bamboo enough to make one bicycle, and six regions in Ghana where bamboo grows abundantly, the Ghana Bike Initiative is unlikely to run out of raw materials.
Climate Change Conference (Conference of the Parties 19) where UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon donned a crash helmet to take a shaky turn around the conference center on one of the Ghanaian bikes.
Christiana Figueres, the head of the United Nation’s Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), also entrusted herself to the bicycle’s rigid pannier rack to hitch a ride around the center.
“They’re made by women and these women are teaching other women to make these bamboo bikes and to sell them so that they have another income stream,” Figueres said.
As a vehicle for women’s emancipation, the bicycle in history has been unrivalled.
During the bicycle craze in the United States and Europe of the late 19th century, it came to symbolize the new woman, not only giving them unprecedented mobility but launching reform movements such as the Rational Dress Society which advocated for a woman’s right to dress appropriately for cycling.
For Dapaah — who co-founded the company with school friends Kwame Kyei and Winnifred Selby — the Ghana Bamboo Bikes Initiative proudly carries on that tradition.
“Currently we have about 20 to 25 women trained who are working in the factory but as we expand we hope to bring more on board,” she said, adding that the initiative was launched as a way of using local renewable materials and satisfied local needs and created employment opportunities.
“Not only that but it looks cool and attractive,” she said. One customized model even comes emblazoned with Martin Luther King motifs rendered in distinctive Ghanaian folk-art style.
She said the prize the initiative won last year in Warsaw, the UNFCCC Momentum for Change Women for Results Award, was bringing with it more attention, more orders and greater ambitions for the company.
“Currently we don’t manufacture many of the metal parts — the chain and the forks we have to import but some of the metal parts for the frame are manufactured here.

LONDON – Christie’s is hosting Henry Moore: The Shape of Things, an exhibition at their King Street London gallery of 30+ artworks tracing the four key thematic concerns that defined Henry Moore’s prolific and deeply influential career. One of Britain’s best-known artists, Moore radically redefined the boundaries of sculpture. Working in bronze, stone and wood, as well as creating a large body of drawings and works on paper, Moore constantly sought to challenge traditional artistic conventions in his art as he explored the aesthetic potential of form and space, figuration and abstraction, as well as internal and external states. The human figure was predominantly the site of exploration for Moore, from the poignant visions of humanity witnessed in the Shelter Drawings, to the undulating forms of the reclining figures and the tender evocations of maternity in the “Mother and Child” works. A parallel concern for the artist was organic forms and the endless shapes and spaces created in the natural world. Henry Moore: The Shape of Things encapsulates this extraordinary diversity found in Moore’s art.
Throughout his career, Moore had “an absolute obsession” with the reclining figure. Not only did this theme serve as an endlessly adaptable subject for formal experimentation, it also allowed Moore to explore the synergy between the landscape and the human body, as well as the relationship between figuration and abstraction. In Reclining Figure: Blanket, the forms of the figure have been abstracted to become organic and fluid, recalling Jean Arp’s investigations into plastic form. The sculpture also appears to preempt the imagery of the sleeping bodies that Moore recorded in his war-time shelter drawings in the London Underground.
In September 1940, on the fifth day of the London Blitz, Moore was forced to take shelter at the underground station at Belsize Park. Upon descending to the platform, he witnessed hundreds of people taking shelter during the intense bombing of the city. Profoundly affected by what he saw, Moore continued to return to these makeshift shelters, making notes and sketches before returning home at dawn and creating drawings from memory (he also used press photographs for inspiration). Featuring often-abstracted bodies rendered in a variety of media, the resulting works, collectively titled Shelter Drawings, present deeply poignant visions of humanity. From intimate vignettes of family groups, to panoramic vistas featuring hordes of people huddled together in the overcrowded tunnels, these works saw Moore achieve widespread acclaim. Tube Shelter Perspective from 1941 was included in the 1946 exhibition of Henry Moore’s work at MoMA in New York and in recent years was on loan to the Hepworth Wakefield.
Like the reclining figure, the “Mother and Child” theme is central to Moore’s art and occupied his imagination throughout his career. Rich in art historical precedents and filled with iconographic meaning, this universal subject also offered Moore the opportunity to experiment with the physical relationships between two figures within a single work. The subject of “Mother and Child” first appeared in Moore’s work dating from the early 1920s. Carved in 1923, Two Heads: Mother and Child is the earliest recorded abstract carving of this important subject. Mother and Child: Petal Skirt depicts a seated figure with child where the folds of the mother’s skirt recall the rolling landscape, echoing his reclining figure motif. The family group provided Moore the opportunity to develop his observations, furthering his exploration of the spatial dynamics created by people. A rare 1947 plaster, Family Group, highlights the tender, nurturing familial bond and emulates the natural world.
Moore had always delighted in the found objects and detritus of the natural world; he was an avid collector of fossils, bones, shells, driftwood and pebbles and used these organic forms as the basis for his sculpture. Inspired by the shapes and structures of these pieces, their surfaces or the rhythms that characterize their formation, Moore integrated these various characteristics into his work. In this way, he imbued his often-abstract works with a powerful energy and vigor. While many pieces are reminiscent of the landscape, some of his works appear like fragments of bones or vertebrae. Working Model for Locking Piece was based on bone fragments and like his mother and child and family group sculptures, the sculpture lays bare the relationships that exist between forms in the same way that they do between figures. Other sculptures, exemplified by Working Model for Oval with Points, have the smooth hollows and indentations reminiscent of the time-worn surfaces of rocks or stones.

Self published writers are grabbing more and more of the book market. David has a lot of info on this. In his analysis he notes a lot of mistakes that are being made by traditional publishers. Not updating an ebook is a mistake that is very easy to fix, yet some ebooks from big publishers are missing these simple updates. Now is a great time to be a writer. Indie writers are getting a bigger and bigger slice of the pie as time marches along. Readers get more and varied books to read, and author’s make more money. I think that is called a win-win.

This trip suitable for all travellers.
Malarial area. Consult your medical practitioner for up-to-date information on prophylaxis and other vaccinations.
We invite you to experience the Kruger with us and our experienced expert guides. See one of the world\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s great wildernesses from the safety of our specialised, open game viewing vehicles, wallow in our comfortable safari-style tents and delight in the textures of the bush and the tastes of our delicious and imaginative camp fire cooking.
Meet your ranger/guide in Hoedspruit and transfer to one of the Park's approved camp sites, such as Balule, near Olifants Rest Camp. Game-viewing en route (time permitting). After settling into your home for the next 4 days, relax around the camp fire with a delicious braai (BBQ) dinner and thrill to sounds of the African night. You might even entice your rugged ranger to spin you a couple of exciting bush tales before you retire to your tent, with its comfortable sprung mattress, for a well-deserved sleep.
Early morning wake-up call each day with rusks and tea or coffee before departing on your morning game drive. The animals are stirring; predators are on the prowl for slow-moving breakfast opportunities... Stop for a bush or Rest Camp brunch as the day heats up, maybe linger at a waterhole to watch the animals come to quench their thirst, and return to the camp for your own midday respite. Mid-afternoon brings everyone together for afternoon tea followed by a game drive to return only when the park gates close. Perhaps take an optional night drive (own expense) to catch the nocturnal activity by spotlight. Partake in tasty evening meals and story-swapping around the fire before falling into a relaxed slumber.
Another morning of exciting adventures including a bush brunch. In the afternoon there is the choice between another game drive with your ranger/guide and a night drive with Parks Board (for your own account). Another tasty evening meal followed by bush stories around the fire.
Depart camp after tea & coffee for the journey back to Hazyview or Hoedspruit (for those on the 3 night safari) with breakfast en route. Appreciate the last few hours of wilderness before a farewell at around midday.

As always when I am up to bat to write in this draft, here are the player’s highs and lows over the past three seasons. Use these numbers as a barometer for consistency, upside and risk in taking this player.
Let us examine ‘Melo and his fantasy game category by category.
: Did this catch you by surprise just a little bit? Using Yahoo’s position eligibility designations, ‘Melo was the top-rated small forward in this category last season. If you include SF/PF players like Lamar Odom and Shawn Marion, ‘Melo still ranks in the top five. Dirk Nowitzki gets lauded for his percentage categories, but ‘Melo outperformed him here last year.
: Not quite as impressive as his FG%, but ‘Melo will not kill your team here. In fact, he ranks as a very useful player because of how often he gets to the line.
: This remains the bread and butter for ‘Melo. He will not win the scoring title with Allen Iverson on the team, but only a handful of players have a chance of averaging 30 ppg for the season every year, and ‘Melo makes the short list.
: Here is where you need to update your dossier on ‘Melo. Sure, when he was scoring a lot, but did no work on the boards or from beyond the arc, he was overrated as a fantasy player. Last year he hauled down more than seven boards a game. And this was while he played alongside the defensive presence known as Marcus Camby. He stands a good chance of setting a new career high in rebounding average.
LeBron James and other point forwards continue to outperform ‘Melo here. So instead, compare him to the average; any player not known for distributing the ball who can drop more than 3.5 dimes a game remains very useful in the fantasy game. Yes, you need top flight point guards and some depth at the swing positions in you draft ‘Melo to win assists but the same could be said for the likes of Caron Butler and Rashard Lewis.
: He has averaged 0.7 moneyballs over his career thus far, definitely below average for a fantasy small forward, but serviceable.
Serviceable seems like the best word to describe ‘Melo here again.
Like many small forwards, he is a non-factor here. Thankfully Tim Duncan was drafted in the second round.
: Like any other star in the league who gets the ball a lot, ‘Melo will rack up his share of miscues. In a head-to-head league, push for a daily transaction league if you use turnovers; this brings in the intrigue of deciding whether or not you should sit players late in the weekend to try to win turnovers.
This team had the misfortune of drafting Gilbert Arenas in the first round. Granted, this was way before news on Arenas broke, but nevertheless scoring is needed in a big way. Progression in FG% and rebounds make ‘Melo a better fantasy player than he has ever been.

In the last year, it has become commonplace for many professional athletes to take a knee during the country’s national anthem. It is said that these athletes, particularly football players, do this in a “display of protest and defiance” according to The Sun. In the last several years, perceived increases in police brutality and the desire to highlight social injustices have led to these athletes’ protests.
This initial movement by Kaepernick started a chain reaction leading other football players to take part in this form of protest as well. The protest has been seen at almost every NFL game since. Players have either kneeled, sat, or linked arms with one another as the anthem was playing. Some teams, such as the Pittsburgh Steelers, took it as far to be in their locker rooms as the anthem played.
President Trump takes issue with the fact that many of these players are bringing their personal beliefs in a place where the only thing that should be going on, in his opinion, is football. However, there are many that feel that the players’ protests give a voice to a movement that does not get much attention in this country.
However you may feel about the protests, they are having a direct impact on the NFL’s TV ratings. They are fluctuating now more than ever because of the different opinions on the movement. While the players’ main goal is to bring attention to the issue of race inequality in our country and still want football to be a priority, it will be hard to convince those who oppose this idea otherwise. This will remain a hot topic in the world of sports as long as it continues and will continue to impact the NFL each and every week.

Axis Managing Director Phil Inness said: “We were concerned about the cost and also the inconvenience of having to manage liquid nitrogen storage with a variable test demand. However this new chamber has given us faster response times, greater technical expertise and reduced costs. As environmental stress screening runs almost daily we are now able to respond instantly to customer demands.“ The new high-performance chamber is mechanically cooled and has a LINEAR ramp rate of 15°C/min over a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and a full temperature range of -70°C to +160°C.

One of the key benefits Norwich Research Park offers is the enormous opportunity for collaboration. With 12,000 people, including 3,000 scientists and clinicians, we have a community of communities that is working together to solve some of the world's biggest problems in agriculture, food and health through ground-breaking research.
Norwich Research Park is truly unique in the UK in being the home to so many different highly-regarded organisations: a university, a university hospital and four world-leading research institutes alongside more than 80 businesses. There's also an abundance of land to continue building a truly significant location to host the world's best life sciences, research and tech organisations.
Building on existing research strengths, Norwich Research Park will become a global centre, attracting the best minds and making it easier for people with different specialisms to work together for the benefit of humanity.
For instance, a project delivered by researchers from the Earlham Institute, John Innes Centre, and University of East Anglia (UEA) will ultimately help to feed the world. It has developed a new system called CropSight that uses near real-time environmental and crop growth monitoring data to improve crop performance.
Capturing data like this (known as Big Data) presents a major challenge for plant scientists trying to understand the dynamics between crop performance, genotypes and environmental factors and for agronomists and farmers monitoring crops in fluctuating agricultural conditions.
CropSight uses smart devices located in fields that are linked to computers in a lab to help them to understand the best times for planting, fertilising, watering and harvesting. With all three partners being based on Norwich Research Park it was much easier and quicker for them to progress their developments as all the expertise was located in the same place.
Another good example of collaboration is a project that is being funded by Big C cancer charity, which is based at Norwich Research Park. Big C is funding research to find a way to help prevent breast cancer. It is being delivered jointly by the John Innes Centre, Quadram Institute and the UEA's Norwich Medical School.
Scientists at the Quadram Institute have been looking at the role that microbes which reside in our digestive systems have on the development of breast cancer. To complement this work, The John Innes Centre has generated a suite of experimental tomato strains, enriched to produce specific molecules that are thought to be responsible for the health promoting properties of certain plants and the things we produce from them like red berries, red wine and soy. Diets based on these enriched tomato lines have been shown to influence the gut microbiota ecosystem and reduce the symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease.
A third example of collaborative success is the work being done by scientists at the newly-opened Quadram Institute in partnership with the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital to help people stay healthier as they live longer.
The brand new building brings together clinicians from the Gastroenterology Department at the hospital with scientists from Quadram Institute Bioscience (QIB) to study the relationship between food science, gut biology and health. They are supported by state-of-the-art technologies including one of the largest endoscopy units in Europe that will make Norwich a hub for gut health and nutrition. This new facility gives us a massive opportunity to lead the way in how clinicians, scientists and patients can work together to solve some of society's most pressing health problems.
These are just three of the incredible collaborations designed, to change lives, that are happening now at Norwich Research Park. We have a fantastic opportunity to create a place where collaborative working delivers solutions to global food and health problems while establishing a platform for attractive employment that will contribute to regional growth. Norwich is the City of Stories, so my invitation is: Come be a part of this story – it's an opportunity too good to miss.

According to the SEC, two firms will collectively pay more than $1.8 million for violations related to share class disclosure failures.
The SEC says relationship documentation, portfolio reconciliation, and portfolio compression are important tools for increasing operational efficiency and reducing risk for security-based swaps entities.
The committee says the SEC should explicitly explain that Regulation Best Interest is a fiduciary duty shared equally by advisers and broker/dealer to act in their customers’ best interest.
SEC worked with RAND Corporation to test the efficacy of its mock Customer Relationship Summary form, a key part of the broader Regulation Best Interest proposal; the positive findings differ from reports commissioned by investment industry advocacy groups.
“Because funds bear the cost of shareholder report delivery, intermediaries have little incentive to negotiate lower delivery rates with the fulfillment vendor or otherwise control costs,” the Investment Company Institute argues.
The proposal is intended to help investors better understand these contracts' features, fees and risks, and to more easily find the information needed to make an informed investment decision.

Moses asked the LORD if he could see His glory. David panted and thirsted for the Living God, longing for the day he could come and appear before God. Paul felt that as long as he is here; though it would be a good thing for the building up and confirming of the Saints; he was "away from home" being still here on earth.

Last year in the UK 2 cannabis strains that made a huge impact and demanded a very high street value of £250-300 per oz were Gorilla Glue and Girl Scout Cookies. Both these Marijuana varieties carry a heavyweight punch that can knockout even the most advanced user.
We have teamed up with a new marijuana breeder that has developed some fantastic new strains just for us. Platinum Girl Scout Cookies was the harder strain to find as it is only available as a clone to people who are very well connected. We especially wanted the Platinum Version as it is renowned for producing a much larger yield that original GSC plants. Gorilla Glue #4 was the easier one to find as there is an abundance of breeders now offering versions of this strain for commercial sale.
Platinum Girl Scout Cookies grows to a Medium Height with a semi Dense growing structure of some monstrous forming buds. Plants can stretch during the first stages of flowering, especially if the heat is high in your garden. Plants do especially well with some gardening methods that promote multiple branches of buds rather than single main bud growing. Leaves will be thin and wide spreading allowing a good amount of light and ventilation to penetrate the lower branches.
Platinum Girl Scout Cookies has a genetic history which is made up of a wide variety of cannabis hybrids. with Durban Poison, OG Kush, Chemdawg, Sour Dub, Lemon Thai and Chocolate Diesel coming from all corners of the globe to create this fabulous strain.
Platinum Gorilla Cookies is especially good as it produces a very good yield and the bud is of a high premium standard. This is exactly the strain you are looking for to offer something of connoisseur quality without the long flowering and difficult cultivation process.
High THC Sativa strains such as PLATINUM GORILLA COOKIES medicinally are suited to those looking for spiritual wisdom and creativity. PLATINUM GORILLA COOKIES is very high strength so if inspiration is what youre looking for this will certainly get your mind working in a different way. Sativa strains are very uplifting and known for energetic highs. High THC Sativa Strains such as PLATINUM GORILLA COOKIES are very strong which can be effective in treating depression but if you suffer from anxiety this is probably not the best strain to choose.
At Just Feminized Seeds Bank We do our best to keep our Platinum Gorilla Cookies cannabis seeds fresh and handled in the most professional manner. Every pack of seeds that enters our shop is first dated and then stored in a commercial fridge to preserve the quality.

Big Baby hysteria, here we go!
2000 babies were studied (note, I have not read the actual study yet…) The way it is being reported is almost more interesting.
I will scan for a more scientific rebuttal and post it when I find it. Of note, breastfeeding, which the media claims will protect our children from obesity, (more guilt and fear for moms who had trouble with that) was not found to make a difference in this study. I did not see any explanation for that, other than one article, despite saying there was no difference making the claim that it was much easier to overfeed a bottle fed baby than a breast-fed baby. (Pseudi-science or no science conclusion. If it is “much easier” to overfeed a bottle fed baby, why did they find no difference?) There are too many questions, and not enough hard data, back-up, long-term follow up to warrant the media frenzy.
Meanwhile the hysteria continues. I think of my parent classes that I teach, and the moms of infants, one of whom compared feeding her healthy nine-month-old to “living on knife-edge between anorexia and obesity.” Does it have to be so hard?
My daughter was 9 lbs 11 ounces at birth (I had a normal pregnancy, gaining about 30 pounds.) She was off the charts, and stayed that way until about age 2. Only then did she start to come down onto the curve, and now at 3 1/2 is just under 90% which is still considered “overweight.” She is “slimming down” and I am not doing anything other than feeding her in a trusting way, with mostly healthy food most of the time. She gets to eat ice-cream, fruit juice, and sometimes eats alot, sometimes a little. Most large infants will slim down if we don’t intervene and restrict their intake. HOW we feed is critical. The Division of Responsibility will allow most children to grow at a steady, predictable rate, and there will naturally be some children larger than others.
I recently saw my daughter’s Great-grandmother’s baby pictures. Born 90 years ago at 10 lbs 4 ounces, she is now on no medications and is a ping-pong and bridge champion. She chuckles about her “baby fat” in her 3 year old picture. Please let’s not lose sight of common sense and give in to fear mongering. We do need to address how to properly feed children, but small studies with questionable conclusions screamed in the headlines to already anxious parents is not the answer.
As my mentor taught me when I was worried about my big baby, “Bigger kids are harder to trust, but they are trustworthy.” Let’s not make matters worse by intervening inappropriately and causing the outcomes we are trying to avoid.
Thanks for a great example of how messed up this all is! Your little guy is active, healthy, happy and don’t listen to them! Is telling you that helping or accurately reflecting reality? We know that weight and BMI gets it wrong at least 20% if not more of the time. Meaning, kids in the “obese” category and healthy and fine, and what about the skinny kid who skips breakfast and eats Snickers and a Diet Coke for lunch and sits around watching TV. Is that kid “healthy?” I’m sorry you have to hear that all the time. Think about how many other parents are hearing that message and intervening by restricting healthy kids. Its bordering on malpractice as far as I’m concerned. If you have the guts, maybe refer them to Ellyn Satter’s work the next time she/he tells you this! Keep up the good work!

what program is this one completed in? Desmos?
Are there books you could recommend for improving at things like this? I a little handle but i would love to really develop my conceptual understandings of the equations. P.S These are getting more and more impressive!!!
Those points would be the centers of the circles for this sketch. Let me know if that helped at all!
Are the circles 3-d though? or did you make ellipses.Thanks, it does help- I have been looking at the patterns created and backtracked to rule(s) that govern them, then try to find equation(s). A lot however, are over my head and I don’t know where to start or how the drawings work, conceptually with respect to the maths( for example, http://dailydesmos.com/2015/11/05/modify-me-rotated-squiggles-9a-advanced/). I want to find find some resources to give me a platform to develop my understanding of these equations, so I can study the math in my own time.
Not the solution, of course, but I thought this turned out pretty neat.

Regular dental check-ups are important for maintaining good oral hygiene and health.
By going for regular check-ups, your dentist will be able to help you detect any dental problems ahead of time.
We recommend you get a check-up every six months.
Gum disease occurs when plaque and tartar build-up occurs on the teeth.
Hygenist services to professionally clean your teeth and advise on gum health. It is our practice philosophy to promote dental health at all times. Therefore we recommend regular dental check-ups and hygienist appointments.
If a cavity is found during a check-up, your Dunboyne Dental Laboratory and Surgery dentist can provide a dental filling before it develops into a more serious problem.
Fillings can be amalgam (silver-coloured) or composite (tooth-coloured). Composite fillings give a variety of finishes, and can be made to be virtually identical to a natural tooth.
Your dentist will prepare the tooth for the filling by numbing the area. Any decay, old fillings or weak areas of the tooth will be removed and the hole shaped so that the tooth holds the filling in place. The area will then be washed and dried.
Root fillings, or root canal treatments, are needed when a large cavity in a tooth reaches the nerve chamber, or in some cases when a tooth breaks involving the nerve. The result is that the damaged nerve becomes infected and dies. The dead nerve needs to be removed and the root space filled.
A root filling will often allow you to keep a tooth that would otherwise have to be extracted and replaced with a bridge, denture or implant. Root canal treatment falls within an area of dentistry known as endodontics.
If persistent bleeding occurs after the first 24 hours post treatment, contact your dentist.
If you think you need a tooth extraction or would like to know more, contact Dunboyne Dental Laboratory and Surgery today.
A full denture is a removable acrylic base, or plate, which sits over the gums. On top of this sits a set of crafted acrylic teeth, which will be made to look as natural as possible.
A partial denture is attached to the teeth either side of the gap.
A veneer is a thin moulding custom-made from porcelain, which is bonded to the front surface of a tooth.
Dental crowns are used to repair and protect damaged or weak teeth. A crown will often be recommended where there is too much damage that can be repaired by a simple filling or inlay.
The weak or damaged part of the tooth is carefully removed and covered with the crown, which is bonded to the remaining tooth. The result is strong and hard-wearing.
Dental bridges are a permanent, fixed replacement for one or more missing teeth.
Teeth whitening is a simple procedure used to lighten the colour of your teeth to a desired shade. Home whitening involves the use of a gum shield into which a whitening agent is applied and worn overnight.
The other method, which is carried out in some of our surgeries and offers more immediate results, involves the application of a gel and light treatment.
Your wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last to come through, right at the back of your mouth.
They usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. There’s often not enough space in people’s mouths for their wisdom teeth to come through properly. In such cases, extraction may be required.

Ants enter homes in search of shelter from weather or to find new sources of food or water. In the hot summer months when ant infestations are the most common, ants typically enter the home in search of water sources. This is the reason ants are commonly found in dishwashers, sinks, showers and around toilets. After finding water, the ants spread out and search for sources of food for the colony. Leaving food containers open and out can lead to an ant infestation. Make sure left overs are thrown away and excess food is picked up off the floor and counters. Taking out the trash more often can also be helpful in reducing ant populations. It is important to stop ants before they establish trails inside your home. Ants are much more difficult to control once they have established themselves.
Your pest control service will begin with a licensed technician providing a full inspection of your residence and property to identify the ant infestation. During the inspection, your ant control technician will identify potential problem areas around your home or office. After the source of your problem areas have been identified, your technician will point out other potential ant harborages and steps you can take to reduce future ant infestations. Your technician will create a customized ant treatment plan for year-round protection, using the most effective and environmentally-conscious ant control solutions.
We not only kill and control your current ants, but help prevent any future ant outbreaks. We advise that before interior treatment that you clean out the areas under the sink. This is a common area for ants to seek water and hang out undetected, until they are all over the bathroom or kitchen counters. Treating these areas can take out the source of the problem and having the area prepared will make for a quick effective treatment. Most ant infestations originate outside, your technician will point out potential problem areas around the structure as well as any sanitation recommendations that could aid in gaining control. We focus on the perimeter of the home and outlying areas of the yard. Once interior control is reached then future services will only be needed to be done on the exterior. Please allow a week to 10 days for the treatment to be effective. Using baits requires help from the ants, meaning they bring the product back to the nest where it infects the colony and eventually the colony is wiped out. Griffin Pest Management offers Monthly, Bi-Monthly and one time ant services with no contract required.
Both the inside and outside of your home are always under warranty. We guarantee your satisfaction between regular scheduled maintenance services. If ants should show up between services please give us a call and our protection plan offers our customers peace of mind knowing they can call us given an unforeseen invasion.
"Black ants" can be found throughout southern California. This non-native species of ant forms large colonies which do not compete with one another, allowing them to take over your property. These ants typically are found inside near sources of food or water during dry or exceptionally wet weather.
Fire ants nest in soil and build mound nests. They infest garages and have a very nasty sting. If you have Fire ants on your property, we recommend eliminating them as soon as possible - especially if you are allergic to bees or have small children.
We have been using Griffin for over 3 years and they have serviced 2 of our homes. Superior quality and attention to detail. Plus Jesse and Kirsty provide the best customer service and always ask if we have any trouble areas. We can call them if we are in a pinch with ants and they will move up our service date if needed. We have recommended to a few friends and they are also still using their services. My house is pest free and happy with Griffin!
Darrell arrived when he said he would. He was friendly, professional, engaging, and informative. I would recommend him and his work (by extension, Griffin) to anyone. Thanks a lot guys. I really do hate ants!
When we first moved to San Diego from Seattle 10 years ago our house was full of ants. We contracted with Griffin immediately and have never had any pest issues since. Their employees are reliable and do a good job, HIGHLY recommend their very affordable regular service.
The service technician from Griffin was both friendly and knowledgeable and the office staff were able to work with my rather rushed need for scheduling. I was so pleased with their work when they came and tented my house for termites that, just recently when the weather brought ants out across my whole neighborhood, I called them back for any treatment and have recommended them to several friends and neighbors.
We are extremely satisfied with this service. Our service guy Joe is awesome. He goes above and beyond to help us with anything we need. We never have ants and he has definitely kept the spiders away. Joe has also chased rats away for us and for that we are grateful. Well worth the money! Thanks Joe!
We have used Griffin Pest Management for more than two years now and are very happy with the field techs (Daniel). We are scheduled every other month and given a time window for our appointment. Griffin has never missed their appointed time. The office staff (Brittany) is polite and accommodating. Our ant/insect issues are a thing of the past. We would highly recommend Griffin Pest Management.
We have been pest free for over the past three years that Roy has been servicing our property. When we moved in three years ago we had problems with about everything form moths to roaches,ants to pantry pests. We are now pest free thanks to Griffin pest control and Roy.

I never thought the time would come.
On Sunday, I took off my jersey and untied my skates for the last time. Sure, there will be beer leagues and drop-ins, but it will never be the same.
Throughout the last 20 years of my life, I dedicated my life to hockey. Some of my first memories growing up are roller blading around my garage at my old house in Traverse City, Michigan, making up situations in my head. We all did it. It’s the championship game in overtime, and the puck is on your stick.
I remember sitting on my Dad’s lap and watching Pittsburgh Penguins games with him. He would occasionally have a rum and Pepsi with him in a big glass, and when he’d jokingly offer me a sip, I always forgot there was booze in it and would take a drink anyway, only to spit it out in disgust.
I met my first friends through hockey, many of whom I still keep in contact with to this day. There’s something about the game that creates untouchable bonds between a group of people. Bonds that distance doesn’t break, which is something so rare.
Looking back, I was pretty lucky with all the things I got to experience. I got to be a captain in high school, juniors and college; I broke scoring records; I was first-team all-state twice; I got to play competitively until I was 23 years old.
However, there is no accomplishment that begins with the letter “I” that will ever come close to what I will miss most about playing hockey. One thing you learn early in hockey, is how much more important “we” is than “I.” The things I will miss most aren’t scoring goals, big hits and back-door feeds. I’m going to miss the locker room, the road trips, the stories, the chirps, the parties, the heads that turn when everyone walks into the bar together, and just the overall atmosphere that is created when a team is clicking on all cylinders.
“I did it for the story” lives deep inside many of us.
There is something to be said about hockey players. We’re a breed unlike any other, and it may be cliché, but the only way to understand it is if you have been a part of it. It’s never just a team, it’s a family. You will fight with your family, but when it comes down to it there isn’t a thing in the world you wouldn’t do to look after them.
On the ice, as in life, the person who is rewarded is the person who scratches and claws the farthest.
While the amount of turmoil I went through growing up pales in comparison to many others, the ice was always my therapy. You can’t ever skate away from your problems, but you can at least avoid them for the hour or two you are at the rink. When you step on the ice, life is perfect and all your problems have been resolved for the time being.
There’s a reason why it’s much easier to go to the rink at 5 a.m. than it is for work or school.
When life gave me adversity, hockey was my counseling. Watching my Mom go through breast cancer treatment when I was in high school wasn’t easy. Most of the time, I didn’t know how to act or what to say. I was a stubborn kid who refused to accept what was happening. But when I was on the ice playing in front of her, I always knew where she was. After games, she was always the first to greet me. Win or lose, she didn’t care. She knew I was happy.
During those moments at the rink, nothing was wrong.
While we all chased the dream growing up, there’s a reason why so many of our relationships fail. We’ve already fallen in love with the game because we know it’s something that will never leave us.
Hockey never cheats on you; Hockey never gets divorced; Hockey never dies. There is always a fresh sheet of ice somewhere. There is always a net to be sniped, and that first deep breath of cold air when stepping onto the ice is a feeling that can’t be topped.
Without hockey, my life would mean little. Without the people I’ve met through hockey, my life would mean nothing.
So after 20 years, it kills me to say goodbye. Thank you for everything you’ve given me, I will always be grateful. You’ve taught me more about myself and about life than I could have ever imagined.
To those still in action, keep chasing your dream. Keep bettering yourself. But most importantly, enjoy the ride and don’t miss a moment.
My career may be over, but the memories will last forever.

Jay started Healing Touch Physical Therapy in 1999 at age of 25 and in 2017 started Y.E.P (young entrepreneur’s project). Here is the story of how Jay started it all.
The idea of Young Entrepreneurs Project (Y.E.P!) came about from my learning experience in becoming an entrepreneur. My journey of becoming an entrepreneur has taught me to first and foremost believe in myself. I also have learned that having high self-esteem, self-confidence, discipline, and perseverance while respecting customers and their opinions are necessary to stand out from the crowd.
Here is my story of how I started out in the business world. I never had a lemonade stand or delivered paper on weekends. While walking home from Martin Van Buren high school in Queens village, NY, whenever I saw an older person mowing the grass or shoveling snow I would say to them “take a break, I got it”. I never took any money from them until it was forced upon me. Very few people took advantage of my good nature but majority didn’t. Word got around the neighborhood fast that I was the go to kid for anything that needs to be done around the house. Years later when I graduated from PT school and started to look for a job, I realized that goal of most employers were to keep the patients for as long as possible. This strategy was adopted by many so that maximum money can be “milked” from insurance companies! Of course, I vowed against this so I had to open my own practice at age 25 instead of going to clubs. The only marketing I had was word of mouth and it is still remaining as the central part after 18 years!
In 2010, I survived a Brain Tumor resection and a stroke which left me unable to talk and with minimal use of the right side of my body. I was unable to walk without assistance and conduct any crucial networking, I was basically bed ridden. During this time my wife (Amy) was pregnant with our first child. Many had dismissed any chance for Healing Touch to survive yet, like a Phoenix bird Healing Touch is rising up from ashes. I have written numerous Business building articles available for sale at growth.healingtouchpt.com as well as a report “Is Pain A bad thing” which can be obtained free of cost at healingtouchpt.com. There is also a FREE E-Book for anyone looking to lead a pain free life: Will Physical Therapy Help Me Live Pain Free? You can also view my inventions including the J Traction and Extension table U.S patent 7 648 473.
Jay says, “It makes me very happy to know that you are living a pain free life and Healing Touch is able to contribute to your health”. There is a client representative or operations manager that you can speak to regarding any of the difficulties you might face. If you are a patient of ours then you are our client which means you are under our care and protection and we will do our best to help you achieve your goals.
And with absolutely no exceptions.
We like to pleasantly surprise our clients (those under our care and protection) occasionally. If you are under our care then you have a moral obligation to refer your friends and family so we can help them as well. When you refer, we will make you a HT VIP.
We also offer complimentary transportation. If there is anything else we can do, please let us know.
We look forward to serving you, your family and friends in the future. Please feel free to recommend us to your friends and family.

As its name suggests, Thai massage comes from Thailand and has a rich cultural and therapeutic history. Thai massage originated over 2,500 years ago, and it continues to be as important in modern day Thai culture as it was historically. Not only does it play an integral part in the modern tourism industry, but it is also at the heart of the Thai medical system, both as a preventative measure and rehabilitative treatment.
In general, one can describe Thai massage as passive manual therapy or passive yoga. The practitioner warms the muscles by pressing and kneading and then adds range of motion and stretching within the client’s limits. Thai Massage can be used on anyone, regardless of age or health. As a well trained and highly experienced Thai therapist, Gary can apply the movements selectively or modify them to suit each client’s needs and physical condition.

Some people say they are related to drums, while some others they are related to what Miao people worship, which are bulls. Despite all this, it is the oldest festival of the Miao culture.

The second my posts that should've gone up last week is about my trip to Vienna. Yup, I decided to cram in holidays towards the end of the year. After coming back from India, I went to Vienna at the start of December with some friends. And honestly it's one of the most beautiful cities I've been too!
There were Christmas tress everywhere. Everything felt super festive!
The Viennese love their Christmas markets as well. There were Christmas markets in every part of the city we went to. And they were all decorated so prettily. Lights, stall, decorations...the whole lot!
This is their council/government building!
Some cinnamon roll covered in sugar we tried at one of the markets. It was really yum!
Me at a building we thought looked like Hogwarts..
Handmade decorations being sold at the markets..
The posh and really pretty part of Vienna.
Before went to Vienna, we'd planned what we wanted to do and top of my list was going to a cafe called Cafe Central. I'd seen pictures of it and the desserts there looked to die for! I'm a massive dessert freak and knew I had to go to this place!
Something they call Gluwein. It's like mulled wine but stronger and you can buy it at all the markets!
We also visited their version of our V&A and Natural History museum. The rocks and gems were so pretty!
The streets were so pretty!
A very blog sign on top of one of the stalls.
Some games that were being sold at one of the stalls.
It really is a beautiful city. Maybe not one you'd think to visit straight away but it won't disappoint if you do. Let me know where you'd like to go this year.

The article is prepared from the dried leaves of Vitex negundo L. (Family Lamiaceae) by extraction with a hydroalcoholic mixture. It contains NLT 90.0% and NMT 110.0% of the labeled amount of iridoid glycosides calculated as the sum of agnuside and negundoside on the dried basis.
Standard solution B: 50 mg/mL of USP Vitex negundo Leaf Dry Extract RS in methanol. Sonicate for 10 min, centrifuge, and use the supernatant.
Sample solution: Vitex negundo Leaf Dry Extract at the concentration equivalent to 0.5 mg/mL of negundoside according to the label claim. Sonicate if necessary.
Apply the Samples as bands to a suitable HPTLC plate and dry in air. Develop the chromatograms in a saturated chamber, remove the plate from the chamber, and dry. Treat with Derivatization reagent, heat at 100° for 3 min, and examine under visible light.
System suitability: Under visible light, Standard solution B exhibits six bands in the lower half and about five purple bands in the upper half. The bands in the lower half include the following bands, with increasing RF: two weak gray-brown, one pink, one dark-brown, one strong pink, and one pink. The strong pink band RF corresponds to the band due to negundoside in Standard solution A.
Acceptance criteria: Under visible light, the Sample solution exhibits a strong pink band in the lower half that corresponds to the band due to negundoside in Standard solution A, and a dark-brown band below the strong pink band due to agnuside. The following bands, with increasing RF, correspond to similar bands in the lower half of Standard solution B: two weak gray-brown, one pink, one dark-brown, one strong pink, and one pink.
Acceptance criteria: The Sample solution exhibits peaks at retention times corresponding to the peaks due to negundoside and agnuside in Standard solution B.
Solution A: Dissolve 0.14 g of potassium phosphate monobasic in 900 mL of water, add 0.5 mL of o-phosphoric acid, complete to 1 L with water, and mix.
Standard solution B: Heat 2 g of USP Vitex negundo Leaf Dry Extract RS in 75 mL of methanol at 70° in a water bath for 10 min, centrifuge, and use the supernatant.
Sample solution: Vitex negundo Leaf Dry Extract in methanol at the concentration equivalent to 1.0 mg/mL of negundoside according to the label claim. Sonicate if necessary. Before injection, pass through a membrane filter of 0.45-µm or finer pore size. Discard the first few mL of the filtrate.
Chromatogram similarity: The chromatogram of Standard solution B is similar to the reference chromatogram provided with the lot of USP Vitex negundo Leaf Dry Extract RS being used.
Using the chromatograms of Standard solution A, Standard solution B, and the reference chromatogram provided with the lot of USP Vitex negundo Leaf Dry Extract RS being used, identify the retention times of the peaks corresponding to negundoside and agnuside. The approximate relative retention times of the peaks for negundoside and agnuside are 0.7 and 1.0, respectively.
Add the percentages of agnuside and negundoside.

The state of California has classified the drought in this area as “exceptional”, the most severe of its five categories. Cambrians have reduced their water consumption by nearly half and a dirty vehicle has become a badge of honor.
But, from a historical perspective, this drought is a minor occurrence. Climate records have only been kept for about 150 years and, during this period, the two worst droughts lasted six years. These were the “Dust Bowl’ drought of the 1930s and the devastating drought of 1987-1992. Studies of tree rings and sediment deposits at the bottoms of lakes and oceans have revealed that, before records were kept, the area has experienced little or no rainfall for periods of 100 years and more.
But, length of time and amount of rainfall that does or does not fall are not the only ways to measure the severity of a drought. One might consider instead the historical impact on the area. Viewed this way, the Great Drought of 1862-64 is easily the most significant in history.
Ironically, this drought was preceded by what was the worst flood since climate records have been kept. Farmers and ranchers had prayed for rain in the years preceding the great floods of 1861-62, because almost two decades leading up to that year had been exceptionally dry. But in December 1861, the farmers’ prayers were answered with a vengeance. Sixty-six inches of rain fell in Los Angeles that year, more than four times the normal amount. Thirty-five inches fell in the 30 days between December 24, 1861, and January 23, 1862. The Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, a combined region 250 to 300 miles long and an average of at least twenty miles wide, or probably three to three and a half million acres, was totally under water.
Heavy rains had prompted the area’s cattlemen, buoyed with confidence by abundant, water-soaked pastures, to overstock their ranches. Many of them probably borrowed money to do so, gambling on continued favorable weather to produce profitable beef, hide and tallow sales later on. The Great Drought began in the fall of 1862, and lasted until the winter of 1864-65. The rainfall for 1862-63 season did not exceed four inches, and that of 1863-64 was even less. In the fall of 1863 a few showers fell, but not enough to start the grass. No more fell until March. Virtually all of the herds of cattle and sheep were destroyed. These two rainless years killed as many as 300,000 head of cattle and 100,000 sheep. The great drought of 1862-64 put an end to cattle raising as the preeminent industry of California. Most of the land in California was occupied by ranchos, Mexican land grants, so the dry years completely altered life across the state. It brought financial ruin to many and led to the breakup of the great ranchos, changing the entire California landscape.
The current drought may seem like the worst ever, after generating rising water bills, penalties and extensive media attention. But while it has indeed changed lifestyles and harmed the economy, the impact has been small compared with the financial ruin and change in the landscape caused by the drought of 1862-64, considered by historians to be the granddaddy of all California droughts. California has had worse droughts in terms of rainfall, but, in terms of economic loss, the so-called Great Drought was the most devastating because none of our statewide water storage facilities and distribution systems was in place at that time. When the rains stopped in 1862, there were no reservoirs to store water, no deep wells and no pipelines.
If there were much greater droughts before climate records were kept, why didn’t they have such a profound effect? The answer, in a word, is infrastructure. When this area was populated by Native Americans with limited personal and tribal possessions, a severe drought did not have such a radical effect on their civilization. Rather, they simply moved to a more favorable location on a temporary or, in some cases, permanent basis. When the great flood of 1861-62 began, several tribes in the affected area were observed to pack up and move to higher ground. This was not an option during the Great Drought nor is it an option now.

So ... Who is Mr. Grigor?
There are more than 15 years now, since I've first met 3D Studio MAX, and since then I have a special bond with "her". Even then "she" was amazing, very powerful and full of mysteries to me, but ... the fate decided that I have to leave her, that my future lays in the world of finance, banking and other boring words.
Nevertheless, I still was watching her from time to time, how "she" evolves, going stronger, going powerful - almost impossible for me to catch up with her, so I gave up.
Meantime, I had a great opportunity to end with all this financial world and switch toward a domain that was more appealing to me and that was close to my nature - the domain of Computer Science - Ahh ... Algorithms, Data Structures ... Heterogeneous Programming and C++ ... - marvelous words for those who understand their purpose and make use of them and what a curse for those who are forced to learn without understanding them.
In the end, armed with Computer Science knowledge, I started to search for purpose in my life, and here the fate reminded me of my bond to now 3ds Max, especially that I now live so close to "her" cradle.
I joined Autodesk, Inc. without any hesitation, and now I have the chance to talk to "her" on daily basis, either through C++, Python or MAXScript, depending how intimate the talk is. Moreover, in my position of Developer Technical Consultant, my primary task is helping plugin developers to know "her" better and perhaps to overcome the difficulties they encounter in their endeavor of mastering the way to reach "her" heart - the mighty 3ds Max SDK.

Whether it's an unpleasant customer service interaction or issues with the product itself, at some point, we've all complained about our financial institution.
A new partnership between Google and Harris Interactive gives consumers a voice, while simultaneously providing small- to medium-sized businesses insights into the survey results of industry leaders. The first benchmark study offered within the Harris Poll and Google Consumer Surveys platform investigates customer satisfaction in the banking industry. Powerhouses such as Bank of America, Chase Bank, Citibank and Wells Fargo are all included and the results are pretty even across the board (check out the results here).
Web workers can expect Harris Poll and Google to perform ongoing benchmarks in a number of categories, with the list of future topics becoming available later this month. Additionally, the results will be announced as they are produced. Smaller businesses can then use the results of industry leaders to compare their own results, upon purchase of their own study.
Furthermore, the Harris Poll is one of the world's most recognized barometers of consumer opinion. Their credibility, coupled with Google's new self-service market research tool, which makes consumer research more accessible, affordable and actionable, gives this self-service offering the potential to help thousands of businesses of all sizes, in dozens of industries.

The moment you launch a brand new website is surely a proud one. But have you considered all the factors required before making the final decision? You might think that you have it all figured out, but still, it is wise to take a step back and reanalyze before you make any rash decision. Hiring professionals such as this Chicago web development company can prove to be helpful. On that note, let us take a look at some crucial factors to consider before taking your website live.
Every website owner gets the site tested, on some level, before launching it. But this is a question that you have to ask yourself before making it public: is the testing sufficient? If not, repeat the procedure until everything seems absolutely perfect. Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to the quality assurance process on your website. It is not a safe assumption that everything is in its proper place. Test the contact form, subscription process, and automated emails, and if it is an e-commerce store, run a trial transaction and see whether it completely works.
If you wish to make your site appear at the top of Google SERPs, then a well-planned and executed SEO strategy is not optional. You have to make sure that your site is fully optimized for search engine visibility. Carefully follow the literature regarding algorithms put forth by Google as far as SEO is concerned, or hire a professional firm to handle this aspect of your business on your behalf.
Most users land on a particular page while browsing images. So, make sure you include alt text in your images in order to make them readable by Google. It also helps in improving the overall SEO of your site.
The Open Graph protocol enables you to alter the text put forth by different social networking platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
You cannot track any activity on your site unless you have analytics enabled on it. In order to make your site successful or generate more revenue for your e-commerce store, it is important to know how users interact with it. With the help of Google Analytics, you can monitor events, keep track of the traffic, and check out the feedback (both explicit and implied).
One of the most important things that can act as a determining factor for the success of your site is the loading speed. When a site takes more than 3 seconds to load, it is considered too slow. Just remember, if you don’t ensure that the loading time is lessened, the competitors are merely a click away.
Even though you might feel that everything is ready, running the content and the layout through a keen eye is a good option. It doesn’t take much time but makes sure that you catch any unwanted spelling errors spoiling your site’s reputation.
The little icon on the tab bar is easy to ignore but is really helpful for the user to recognize your site when multiple tabs are open. So, do not forget to include a favicon for your site.

Ardmore Advertising has developed a Brand Campaign with a difference this year for Rushmere Shopping Centre.
We have worked to extend the existing brand campaign which we developed in 2016. Following research, it was evident that potential customers did not understand the key offering of the centre; open late nights, free car parking, easy access and over 65 stores.
The new TV commercial therefore highlights these benefits in a short and snappy 10” commercial which has been tailored to the Spring season. Our bight and cheery Spring creative incorporates a yellow, purple and blue colour palette with some fluttering butterflies. The campaign is now live across TV, print, digital and transit formats.

On this feast of St. Peter Claver (1581-1654 A.D.) we remember a beautiful man who was a precursor, of sorts, to St. Teresa of Calcutta, recently canonized by Pope Francis. Peter Claver was burn in Spain, became a Jesuit and was sent to Columbia to minister to the poor, particularly the African slaves. He and his fellow Jesuits went to the docks as the ships carrying the slaves anchored. They welcomed these human beings, treated like chattel, as if they were Christ…and they were Christ.
Peter and his companions bathed them, tried to heal them of their many wounds and diseases, clothed them with the garments of compassion and lifted them in spirit as children of God. Peter, himself, became a “slave to the slaves,” a poetic phrase that “rents” the heart of us who contemplate his life. Hearts that are “rent” are hearts that allow the mercy of Christ to flow and fill in the crevices of loneliness that run deep in the human heart. May we become servants, “slaves” of today’s impoverished, poor, refugee, immigrant. May our hearts be “rent” as these beautiful human beings become the instruments our salvation.

The photo above shows White O'Morn Cottage in Tiernakill, Maumm, County Galway as it was in 1951 when Hollywood came to Connemara. People in Connemara and even in Galway City are still talking about that magical six-weeks to this very day.
This old site, which now lies in ruins, is better known to the world as "The Quiet Man Cottage." The structure was depicted as the home of Sean Thornton (played by John Wayne) and Mary Kate Danaher (played by Maureen O'Hara) in the 1952 motion picture "The Quiet Man."
As you will see in the video below, something needs to be done quickly if this lovely old place that survived the famine years and countless other hardships is to be brought back from the edge of final extinction. Maureen O'Hara, in 2004, called the state of the cottage a "national disgrace," and I think most will find it difficult to disagree with her assessment.
What can be done? What is being done? There are multiple groups and organisations currently trying to work with the current owner of the property and Galway County Council to bring this dream to fruition, but complications and red tape still stand in the way.
In this discussion thread, I'm hoping to hear from the groups and individuals involved in this ongoing saga. That includes the groups trying to raise awareness, the property owner, and the Galway County Council. I'm also hoping to hear from anyone who has seen that grand old film "The Quiet Man" and anyone who understands the inherent value in restoring and preserving this important piece of Ireland's past.
Wear a cowboy hat as you travel throughout Ireland... every where you turn someone will call out "Hey John Wayne! How are ya?"
Never more so than the village of Cong where we couldn't go more than fifty feet without someone likening us to The Duke.
Oddly enough, the Quiet Man film itself met with quite a bit of resistance in Ireland when it was first released. There were those that said that the interaction between Sean & Mary Kate didn't paint the Irish in a good light.
As an American, I can watch it for what it is, light-hearted, overly romanticised, and not all a portrayal of the true Ireland. It was never intended to be that though.
Today the submissions to add the Quiet man cottage came before the council. The council advised the Councillors that the cottage could only be added by means of following regulatory process and as such the cottage wasn't added directly to the list.
there is already at least one group on FB "Save the Quiet Man Cottage"
I'd really like to hear the particulars of what is being done, and what can be done by anyone and everyone interested to save this gem of Irish cinematic and cultural history.
Hoping to hear from Mike Ward and Paddy McCormick who are both members of The Wild Geese community and who are both engaged in these efforts in a major way.
Despite the passionate efforts of people like myself, Mike Ward – and others – the cottage remains in 'limbo' and continues to deteriorate.
I recently decided to try and take some substantive action to break the impasse and commissioned a professional Architectural Heritage Appraisal of the location.
The Architectural Heritage Appraisal was prepared by a RIAI Grade 1 accredited Conservation Architect – who specialises in the assessment and appraisal of architectural heritage sites and has prepared a number of county surveys for the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) which form the basis for ministerial recommendations for the designation of protected structures. He has also advised local authorities directly on protection of architectural heritage, notably Louth, Meath, Laois, Longford, Dublin, Fingal, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Wicklow and Kerry.
His Architectural Heritage Appraisal presents an irrefutable case for, and professionally substantiates, the totally UNIQUE cultural significance of this iconic location – which really should be a gem in Connemara’s tourism crown.
The Architectural Heritage Appraisal was submitted to Galway County Council (supported by an 8,500 signature petition) requesting that the Council add the cottage and its curtilage to the Record of Protected Structures (RPS).
The purpose of addition to the RPS would be to halt further deterioration of the cottage and very importantly – it’s curtilage – before everything is lost forever. Neither should be allowed to, needlessly and unnecessarily, rot away into oblivion.
The remains of the house have been allowed to deteriorate into ruinous condition. It is essential to protect what is left from further decay, from possible clearance of the site, or from insensitive redevelopment. The house and certain site features hold important cultural value and are held dear by thousands of people worldwide. These features must be retained and restored to a high degree of authenticity, not swept away and replaced with a poor replica.
If the site were developed in the future without the protection conferred by protected structure status, there would be no mechanism to ensure that best conservation practice would be followed. There would be no way to ensure that the rebuilt cottage would be a true reconstruction, using traditional building skills and reflecting the historic footprint, layout and vernacular character of the house as seen in The Quiet Man film. Furthermore, there would be a legitimate fear that significant features within the curtilage would not be respected. The concrete bridge, stepping stones, dry stone walls, rose garden etc are essential elements which feature in the film and add to the richness of the site, and which deserve legal protection.
In fact, as things currently stand – without ANY legislative protection – this iconic site could be leveled without consequence or accountability.
I have recently been reading 'reports' – on Facebook and elsewhere – that the 1950s derelict bungalow situated next to the cottage would be have to be retained if TQM cottage were added to the RPS. I have also read that the ruin would have to be kept as just that – a ruin – if TQM cottage were added to the RPS. Neither are true.
The Conservation Architect has read these reports and confirmed that they contain both inaccurate and misleading information – presented as being 'fact'.
The 1950s derelict bungalow can - and should - be removed.
Adding the cottage to the RPS would not limit it being – authentically – restored at a later date.
Several of the re-elected and newly-elected Councillors have already responded to me in private messages expressing their support – and desire – to add the cottage and site to the RPS. Nine Connemara Councillors have each received their own individual copies of the Architectural Heritage Appraisal.
We are now waiting for 'Record of Protected Structures' to be tabled as a formal agenda item for a future Council meeting.
Adding the cottage and the site to the RPS would not be a final solution – just an important, and tangible, first step FORWARD. In fact, it would represent the ONLY substantive step forward for this iconic cottage/location in more than 60 years.
My reply to Patrick McCormac on behalf of the SAVE THE QUIET MAN COTTAGE facebook group , First of all may i commend you on the statement you made above which appears to be very valid and reasonable to the less informed . However you fail to present a lot of very important facts that you are aware of , these omissions definatly present the situation in a very unfair fashion , and your statement is not at all the real picture , despite the fact you were informed via a third party by Galway County Council that your petition would only be useful if the cottage was already restored and that a successful petition would in fact be more harmful in fact a successful petition would render the ruins to be preserved as a ruins strictly that , The councils reply clearly stated that it seemed you and Ms Beck had failed to research the ramifications of a successgul petition on the project before you both launched it , However despite the Councils advice you both went ahead promoting the petition ( and still are ) ignoring the councils advice and yet you expect the council to accept and vote on your petition to have the ruins frozen , Now lets face the facts here Patrick the whole future of the cottage ruins are in the hands of the owner Gregory Ebbitt you and i know as the whole world does too all the petitions you or anyone can muster will not get the cottage restored he is the owner full stop , ( this you have admitted yourself many times in the past ) fact .... without Gregory Ebbits coperation the cottage will never be restored .
"White O'Morn Foundation" on Facebook is simply the title of a community of 'Quiet Man' fans advocating to get the iconic thatched cottage from the movie protected from further ruin.
