and in 1859-1861 at 3 York Place Halifax. I have not been able to locate Robert & Hannah on either the 1841 or 1871 census for Halifax. Can any one help with this or any other info on this family please?
I am searching for family connections to my forebear named Ambrose Gleadall or possibly Gleaddall, born in or near Sheffield in 1810 or 1811. He married a Hannah Sheppherd or Shepphard, and emigrated to the States between 1830 and 1850 sometime. I've discussed with Lloyd Gledhill the obvious connections, but wondered if anyone has done any research along these lines? They emigrated to Highland County, Ohio, where he is buried in a town called Samantha. Some of his sons names were William, Richard, and Thomas. Any information or leads would be appreciated, as I have no access to pertinent records here. Send any replies to jglead"AT"usit.net . Thank you, Jeff Gleadle (a Yank).
For a museum exhibit I am organizing, I seek information on birth place and parents of Thomas Gledhill; he was an upholsterer, immigrated to Boston, Mass. USA in 1809 when he stated he was 22 years old, with wife Francis. Therefore born about 1786. He stated in 1812 he was from England. Contact Robert Mussey/Boston, Mass., USA at Robdelevan"AT"aol.com (address now defunct).
Joshua Gledhill who married Mary Armitage in Huddersfield in 1794. Their daughter and my G-G-Grandmother was Elizabeth Gledhill who married John Akeroyd (alternative spelling Ackroyd) in the Leeds Parish Church on the 9th January 1820. I have a record of three children born to the couple and they were: Jonathon, Bpt 9.9.1827 Guisley, Joshua Gledhill (Christian names), Bpt 26.4.1929 Guisley, and Elizabeth, Bpt 17.7.1831 Guisley, who married Thomas Williamson in the Register Office, Lady Lane, Leeds, on 14 October 1857. At the time of her marriage she was living at Richmond Court, Richmond Street, Leeds. There may have been some earlier children than these three. Details supplied by Herbert Harrison in New Zealand (now deceased).
William Gleadhill married Jennitt (of unknown family) in the early C17th. Both are buried at Hartshead, West Riding, Yorkshire; he ?30 Nov 1655 and she 23 Feb 1657. Contact Mark Grace who has C17th & C18th family trees through his website http://creativegraces.net. Gledhill data can be viewed at http://creativegraces.net/genindex/gledhill.html.
William Gledhill first appears on the Dewsbury parish register in 1770, being the father of Sarah. Four more children - Thomas (1773), William (1776) and two Marys (1781 and 1786) followed. Thomas, it seems, married Sarah Crawshay in 1794. They lived at Dewsbury Moor, where Thomas may have manufactured blankets. He sired many children, including Mary, Betty, Frances, Daniel, Thomas, Hannah and possibly Joshua and William. However, it seems that only Mary, Daniel and Thomas survived to produce grandchildren. Mary, the eldest, married William KILBURN in 1812 they were my great-great-grandparents. They lived in Heckmondwyke, as, I conjecture from the censuses, did Daniel and Thomas and their families.
Ruth Ellen Gledhill married William Hart sometime before 1878. They lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Their children were Gledhill (or George Gledhill) Hart, William Hart, Frank Hart and Louise Hart. Ruth Ellen Hart, my great great grandmother, died approximately 1885. Contact Linda Hart.
Annie Gledhill lived at 41 East St, Golcar, Huddersfield, Yorkshire, in 1956. I believe she would have been the grand-daughter of Samuel Wood & his first? wife, Hannah Less or Lees.

For many schools the cost of a minibus seems prohibitive but two developments have cut the price dramatically.
It is rare to find a school that wouldn’t accept the offer of a minibus if it was there, available for them. But they don’t buy one, because of the cost.
However, two recent developments have ensured that more and more schools are now able to have minibus transport that they previously felt was out of their reach.
But – and this is the key fact – these two new approaches have to be seen together; on their own they look like interesting notions – but not a solution.
The two approaches are a) to lease the minibus on a set monthly fee which includes all servicing, maintenance and repair costs, and b) to share its use with a nearby school that is in the same cluster, trust or council as they are, so that each school has the bus for an agreed amount of time.
What’s more, many schools do then add a third element of their own to the equation – since they know how much the minibus will cost each month they do sometimes ask the PTA or other support group to make a contribution to that cost each month.
Now that is often very much welcomed since it means that the parents making the contribution to the minibus account know that is it their children who are benefitting, rather than the children in future years (as happens when the fund raising goes on for several years before a bus can be bought).
Sharing a leased minibus also has the benefit of ensuring that everyone is always driving a bus that is well maintained – since it is the leasing company that works on maintaining the bus in tip top condition.
If you haven’t leased a minibus or thought about sharing one, please do give me a call on 01753 859944 and I can talk you through how it all works.
What is the simplest way to locate and apply for grants and funding for school projects?
One of the interesting aspects of the grants and special funds available to British schools is that few schools actually know about them.
Where the knowledge about educational grants does exist, there are many schools for whom the whole process of applying for a grant can appear just too complex and time consuming to make it worthwhile.
Recently there has been a particular interest in using such funds for new outdoor classrooms, to cope with the rise in school numbers, but grants can be awarded for a whole variety of projects.
In fact significant grants are available to almost any project potentially beneficial to the development of your pupils or community.
The problems are in finding the grants in the first place, and completing the necessary documentation – and that is why ABC Fundraising exists. We find appropriate grant opportunities and do the paperwork for you. And we help you to make the most convincing and compelling case for your project to the grantmaker. Working with us will cost no money up front, and charge a fee only if you receive a grant towards the project through the application we have helped you prepare.
Everything we do is completely transparent, and you have complete control over your project direction and the content of the application. However, we of course provide advice upon how to give your grant application the best chance of success based on the hundreds of applications we have overseen from all parts of the UK.
Online Training Program 4 x 1 hour sessions with assignments – why not use the summer to learn a bit more about school finance?
To this end we have created a new online training program consisting of 4 x 1 hour sessions covering different aspects of school finance. Each session provides a recording of our live online presentations with accompanying notes and copies of the Powerpoint slides.
The aim is to provide a basic overview of what the terms mean, what needs to be done, what’s important to know about and what the reports tell us. It also covers an overview of double entry booking, financial statements, period end & audit. This isn’t an in-depth study of bookkeeping or management accounting – it’s a clear, simple overview to give school finance staff a grounding in accounting.
Each session has an optional assignment which will help consolidate the information covered, and on completion of all 4 assignments a Certificate in School Finance will be awarded.
Session 1 – Introduction to finance and the need for accounts. Types of accounting, Accounting reports, Audit, Legal aspects & segregation of duties. Financial controls. Record keeping & filing.
Session 2 – The Bookkeeping process. Revenue accounts, Assets & Liabilities, Double Entry bookkeeping, Credits & Debits, Journals/Virement, The Ledgers.
The whole 4 session course costs £99 per school and multiple staff can use the course for this price.
How to avoid time-consuming administration, bureaucracy, and cash flow problems when procuring a brand new school sports facility.
It would be an understatement to say that having a brand new sports facility installed in your school is costly. And, in addition to the expense, such a project typically comes with a significant amount of time-consuming administration, bureaucracy, and cash flow implications.
So how can you get a brand new cricket facility (for example) installed in your school without encountering any such problems?
The answer: Notts Sport and the Fast Track Funding Scheme.
Notts Sport will design a bespoke cricket facility (or refurbishment) that’s perfect for your needs. Then, using Fast Track Funding, we will provide you with a flexible funding solution with monthly, quarterly, or annual repayments to suit you.
This means that no (or very little) payment is required until the facility is complete, and we won’t expect you to pay it all back at once, which will help to minimise the impact on your cash flow.
If you have any questions about the Fast Track Funding Scheme, please don’t hesitate to contact us, either by calling us on 01455 883 730 or emailing us at info@nottssport.com.
The Private Funds Manager software helps manage your trips, clubs, performances, lockers, fund raising and all aspects of the school fund. It’s quick and easy to setup, and straightforward to enter information and generate reports.
Please see our website for details or phone 01722 413255 and mention mailer X2.
PFM is priced at just £195 for primary and £395 for secondary schools.
If you have any forthcoming playground projects on your “wish list” for 2016 – be they play equipment, outdoor classrooms & shelters, nature and forest school areas etc – then it would be perhaps worth your while contacting us.
The reason being is that we have invested a lot of our time and effort in trying to help schools raise the necessary funds in these financially difficult times but the good news is that what we are doing is working. We have secured full funding for all of our school clients last year who asked for our help and even better news for you, it doesn’t have to cost you anything apart from a bit of your time to initially brief us on your school and project. The rest of the hard work is then down to us. We know you are busy so we will work alongside you at your convenience.
Please therefore have a look at our website for the products we currently offer but if you have something else in mind, please do let us know. And then give us a call about the above and we will tell you how it all works.
The BBC has reported that councils will have to generate a predicted 80,000 additional secondary school places in order to accommodate the increase in the number of pupils who will be graduating from primary schools over the next four years.
It has been decided that rather than building new secondary schools, some 17 existing secondary schools will be expanded and transformed into what will be known as “super-sized” secondary schools – which should be a more financially viable option for councils.
Naturally, there are some concerns about whether the same standards of behaviour and academic attainment can be maintained following the expansion.
However, School Minister Nick Gibb doesn’t believe this to be a cause for concern and is quoted in TES as saying, “If you look at Shanghai, their schools are very large and they produce some very high standards of education.” Shanghai High has more than 3000 students and is considered as one of Shanghai’s top state schools.
Whether your school has plans to be super-sized or not, it is likely that some expansion will be necessary in order to meet local demand. This can bring the added benefit of being able to choose the design of your new classroom so that it represents your school’s values.
For example, if being eco-friendly and providing pupils with plenty of learning outside the classroom opportunities is valued by your school, you may want to have a classroom built which represents these values, such as those from The Learning Escape.
The Learning Escape’s classrooms are bathed in natural sunlight, warm in the winter, cool in the summer and are able to withstand whatever extremes of weather climate change throws at them.
They are designed to be eco-friendly, not least with the option to have sun pipes, living sedum roofs, solar water systems and solar power systems installed.
To see the Learning Escape classrooms that schools have designed and that we have built recently, just click here.
Or to discuss any aspect of your project or to book a free survey, just call us on 0800 917 7726. You can find more information on our website.
What’s more, there are leasing options available to your school and you can find more information about financing here.
Would you like to increase maths and financial literacy skills in key stage 3 students?
We have designed a series of practical team based exercises for key stage 3 that will help to develop students’ financial literacy, maths and business awareness skills.
You can pay and download the exercise direct from our website using Paypal or you may wish to pay with a purchase order number. If you would like to take advantage of the special offer price or order with a purchase order please e-mail Julie@c-l-e.co.uk. Your order will be dealt with within 24 hours.

Top indexing services, really mean for the journal editor right?
Here we go, lets talk about the top indexing services today.
Top indexing services for the journals are something the editors always in search of. The International and national online journal providers are always working on increasing the visibility of the journal articles.
In addition, the journal articles are getting more visibility, if submitted to as many number of repositories as possible. Hence,there are the questions raised on many of the repositories of digital contents. Also, on their authenticity and whether it is fake or real. Although, in my view making the contents available for the search is more important. Especially, for the open acess journals than going in to the discussion of the repositories authenticity.
Unlike others, few of the repositories may be charging you buck of rupees. Still, i feel it is useful to store your contents in some trusted place. In spite of money you must think of the service you are getting too. Hope so, this list will help you in getting what you are searching.
Despite of cost, some of the service providers are also instruct you to improve upon UPI documentation and script also. While, this infact helps in improving ease of indexing your documents to repositories.
Above all, the kind of exposure, the articles will get is really appreciable. I feel this information is equally important to my other posts.

Credit ratings are best thought of as a measure of risk: if I lend money to, or invest money in, this person, or this corporation, or this security, how likely am I to get my money back? This is essentially the same as the trivial assessments we make every day: the staid, millennium-old commercial bank in the center of town inspires no concerns in anyone, whereas the scruffy floater hanging out in startown might as well be a walking junk bond. Credit ratings merely formalize this.
Most relevant to Imperial investors, credit ratings are assigned to any entity of market relevance and any security listed on an Imperial exchange by one of a number of market rating agencies, such as Cheraelar & Orthodox (a joint venture between Gilea & Company and the Calmiríë Securities Exchange), Adichi Reliability, or Rational Risk Ratings. Such ratings are typically published covering short-term (12 year), medium-term (144 year) and long-term (576 year) periods.
The basic categories used for these ratings were set by Cheraelar & Orthodox, as one of the earliest rating agencies, and others have stuck to their format, although providing their own detailed write-ups and occasionally extending the format into other areas.
The six grades of super-prime are assigned to those entities or securities in which the ratings agency has confidence that there is no probability of obligor default whatsoever. Such a rating is extremely rare, requiring starcorporate status and/or a personal guarantee1 from Gilea & Company or another bank of equivalent stature2, along with domicile in a legal regime which permits appropriate guarantees to be made.
In the corporate realm, the Big 26 and five other Imperial corporations hold a AAA rating, along with fourteen foreign-domiciled corporations. Imperial gilts are the only sovereign security to be thus rated.
The twelve grades of prime are assigned to those entities or securities in which the ratings agency estimates the probability of obligor default as less than 0.083% during the rating period at the high end, and 0.166% at the low end. These are considered high-grade investments, suitable for long-term holds.
The twelve grades of sub-prime are assigned to those entities or securities in which the ratings agency estimates the probability of obligor default as greater than the 0.166% required to qualify as prime, but less than the 1% which would relegate them to the speculative class.
So-called “sovereign-impaired” entities or securities are those whose governing legal regime does not meet Alpha Concord Free Economic Zone Standard 23.1 where foreclosure is concerned, impairing legal recovery in the event of default. Such entities or securities cannot be classified higher than sub-prime, even if in other ways they would meet the standards for prime or even super-prime rating; naturally, the majority of sovereign debt and other sovereign-issued securities are considered sovereign-impaired.
The twelve grades of speculative are assigned to those entities or securities in which the ratings agency estimates the probability of obligor default as no more than 1% during the rating period at the high end, and less than 12% at the low end. While not a high rating in terms of risk, the majority of entities or securities rated S are new business startups, engaged in inherently risky ventures, or simply lack the financial history upon which a more favorable rating could be based; as such, they also tend to offer substantially higher returns than less risky investments.
S-rated entities and securities offer a great many opportunities to the attentive investor who can safely bear the risk of such investments, and to whom they are typically directed.
The twelve grades of junk are assigned to those entities or securities to which the ratings agency estimates a probability of obligor default exceeding 12% during the rating period. While not in default, and potentially on the road to recovery, the risk is significant and only experienced investors should consider them. In the bottom half of the category, sometimes referred to as “sub-junk”, such entities or securities are considered in collapse, “on the road to default”, and are best left to the vultures.
The rated entity or security is in default, and no longer eligible for exchange trading. At this level, acquiring such securities is only useful as a basis for legal foreclosure, as a basis for hostile foreclosure, or as toilet paper.
1. And at this level, that means the Old Lady personally signed off on it.
2. There are no recognized banks of equivalent stature, but it could happen.
Baríël Andracanth-ith-Brianth to Ven Mak Lochh, greetings.
I checked into your son’s case, and I’ve got to tell you, it’s as I thought. There’s no “slavery” involved. He signed up to a debt indenture.
Which is to say, to cover the details so far as my inquisitive could root them out, he developed a taste for the high life, and blew through his traveling funds in a matter of weeks. Then he took out a line of credit, and went through most of that, then invested the rest in high-risk stocks, lost it, took out another to cover the fees and margin calls, went high-stakes gambling with the rest, and lost that, too. At which point Baranithil Mutual filed suit over nonrepayment of those credit lines.
He settled by offering them an indenture. I presume because he didn’t have the money, and didn’t think you’d send him the money; or maybe he thought that you could get him out of it. Anyway, I’ve seen the contract and the signing record, and it’s all perfectly legal.
He may not be enjoying his new career as a fungus-farm mucker-drone, but whatever he may tell you, it’s not like he’s being worked to death, or beaten, or some such. He’s just doing crappy sub-robot work because he’s frankly unqualified to do anything else. He’s not even being denied access to communications, as you know, and speaking of that, you should probably tell him to lay off the goldbricking and trying to run out, because if he keeps running up nonperformance and skip-trace fees at his current rate, he’s going to be stuck down there a lot longer than 126 months.
Or you could contact Baranithil Mutual and pay them the Es. 103,680 to buy out his contract. For myself, though, I suggest you leave the young idiot where he is. What sort of damn fool doesn’t know not to run up bad debts on Seranth?
It is possible for you to access your funds directly on most of the core Associated Worlds, including all worlds of the Fringe, which are serviced by the Imperial Banking and Credit Network or one of its affiliate clearing networks. Direct funds access is also possible on select other major worlds and colonies where First Commercial has branches, using our premium tangle clearing facility.
However, other worlds are affiliated with alternative clearing networks due to local regulatory or legal requirements, or remain unaffiliated. On these worlds, direct funds access is impossible, but First Commercial maintains correspondent relationships with local banks across the Worlds. If a correspondent bank exists on the world you intend to visit, we can provide you with a letter of credit which can be drawn upon there, or a bank draft with which to establish a local account.
If no correspondent bank exists, it may be possible for us to establish a chain of correspondent banks to put funds in place in advance of your visit, or to purchase locally acceptable negotiable instruments or cryp (where anonymous untraceable funds are permitted by local law) on your behalf which you can use to establish a local account.
Please note that specie, unprovenanced gemstones, and precious metals are not recommended for this purpose due to their low mass-value and volume-value.
Where direct funds access is available through affiliate networks, a variety of different technologies may be required to access local financial networks rather than the Universal, including one-touch credit bars, cards encoded using magnetic stripes, holographic or other optical markings, or physical encoding, or even smart-paper or printed checks manually delivered to a central clearing house. First Commercial can provide you with any of these as required, appropriately encoded to draw upon your account.
You should be aware that while the Imperial Banking and Credit Network affiliate agreement requires adherence to its privacy, anti-fraud, minimum clearance time and fee structure constraints, many of these affiliate networks do not support advanced feature sets including smart contracts, metrics checks, immediate clearing, and referral of purchases to you or your muse for validation.

As the new Administration and Congress consider changes to federal health care programs, including Medicare, a Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) issue brief offers spending facts about the program, which currently accounts for roughly $1 of every $7 in federal spending. The brief indicated that repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) (P.L. 111-148) would increase spending and worsen the program’s long-term financial outlook, but noted that Medicare faces challenges apart from ACA repeal, including higher health costs and an aging population.
Although the program faces financial challenges, KFF noted that Medicare “isn’t going broke.” The Hospital Insurance Trust Fund, which pays for Part A benefits, primarily through payroll taxes, is expected to pay for full insurance benefits until 2028, at which point it will be able to pay for 87 percent of hospital benefits. Part B physician services and Part D drug benefits, however, are paid for through a combination of general revenues and beneficiary premiums and are set only a year in advance. As a result, they are not subject to a funding shortfall, but higher projected spending would increase the amount of general revenue funding and beneficiary premiums required to cover costs. Spending on Part benefits is expected to rise faster than spending on benefits paid for under Parts A and B, with per-capita spending expected to rise 5.8 percent for Part D between 2015 and 2025, compared to 3.2 percent for Part A and 4.6 percent for Part B.
The aging U.S. population is resulting in higher Medicare spending. For example, the number of people over age 65 is expected to double from 2010 to 2050 from 40 million to 84 million, while the number of people over 80—who account for a disproportionate share of Medicare spending—is expected to nearly triple, from 11 million to 31 million. Medicare spending accounted for 15 percent of the federal budget in 2016, and is expected to increase to 18 percent of the federal budget, accounting for $1 in every $6 spent, by 2027. Average annual growth in spending is expected to increase more quickly between 2015 and 2025—at a rate of 7.1 percent—than it did immediately after the ACA was enacted between 2010 and 2015, when it increased at a rate of only 4.4 percent.
ACA provisions reducing payments to providers and Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans reduced overall spending growth from 9 percent between 2000 and 2010 to 4.4 percent between 2010 and 2015. KFF cited a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report and stated that ACA repeal would add $802 billion to Medicare spending through 2025; KFF opined that repeal would lead to higher deductibles, premiums, and cost sharing for beneficiaries and would hasten the insolvency of the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund (see Repealing the Affordable Care Act—an unaffordable idea?, Health Law Daily, June 24, 2015). With the ACA in place, KFF reports that net Medicare spending is projected to grow from 3.2 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2016 to 5.7 percent of the GDP in 2046; prior to the ACA, net Medicare spending was projected to account for 8.5 percent of the GDP in 2046.

Yes you can book online, please follow this link https://www.chel-ski.uk/booking to complete your booking.
Can I book into any session?
We run separate sessions for skiers and boarders and we always aim to match customers of a similar ability so we can progress each session at the right pace. So, for example, if you are a beginner you may find there are some sessions that are not available to you as these already have intermediate or advanced skiers booked into them.
Can I amend or cancel my booking?
Our terms and conditions for standard session bookings allow customers to reschedule or cancel their booking providing this is done up to 48 hous before their session start time.

We will provide you with boots, skis / snowboard and helmets (helmets are mandatory for any child aged 12 and under). If you have your own boots, feel free to bring them along but please don’t bring your own skis / snowboard as they need to be fully de-waxed to work on our specialist slopes (our slopes are revolving astro turf mats, watered frequently to make them a suitable surface for skiing and snowboarding).
What clothes should I wear and do I need to bring anything else with me?
You can come in jeans and a T-shirt if you like, but we do put water on the slope so you may get a bit damp! We advise you wear a long-sleeved lightweight top and loose-fitting trousers (tracksuit bottoms are ideal).

Also, futile! It is conceivable to win some more monetarily. How about we endeavor to make sense of what a beatstars promo code is, the place to get it and how to apply it.
What is a beatstars promo code?
Above all else, I might want to attract your consideration regarding the way that the beatstars promo code and coupon are totally extraordinary apparatuses for making buys.

Here is a comparison video between these cameras. I tested them at night in two locations of different brightness level.
Hands down, the Night Eagle 2 Pro is the clear winner! It would be your best bet if you want to fly in the dark. But it only does black and white, so it might be less enjoyable to use in the day.
I really like the Falkor’s image quality in day light, probably one of the best. But I simply wouldn’t use it for low light or night flying. Especially when I found out it has a bug with “Auto Day/Night” mode. At certain brightness level it would repeatedly switch between color and B/W, causing the screen to flicker. So it’s best to set it to either color or black & white. Another cool tip I can give you is to set DNR from 0 to 1, it helps reduce digital noise in low light. I don’t notice any difference setting it any higher.
How Well Do FPV Cameras Work At Night?
These low light cameras do a pretty good job in taking advantage of every bit of light available. The low light performance is measured by a parameter called “LUX”. The lower it is, the better low light performance. Nowadays you can get an FPV camera with as low as 0.00001 LUX in black and white mode.
Here is an example of how well these camera can perform at night. This is how dark the play ground is.
And through our low light capable FPV cameras, we could see a lot better without additional light sources.
However, unless you are lucky enough to have a clear sky and a full moon, or some street lights nearby, your camera might still struggle a bit to give you a clear image.
Enhance Low Light Visibility – DIY IR Torch!
The less light you have, the worse the processed image will be. In very dark environment, your image can look noisy and blurry, which is hard to discern anything in the footage you see and fly with that.
Fear not! We might have a solution.
We can improve visibility in dark environment by adding a flashlight to the quadcopter. But yea, that will take away the stealthiness flying at night. Not only will your multirotor look like a UFO but you will also “blind” anyone that gets in front of your quad – including yourself if you are flying LOS.
My preferred option is to use IR LED’s (Infra-red). Due to the interesting nature of IR light, which is invisible to human eyes but digital cameras, it will work like a flashlight without anyone noticing it!
The best option I found so far is these 48 IR LED boards for around £8 (US$12) each. The only modification I had to do was to solder a female balance plug connector to the LED board, so I could connect it directly to a 3S battery.
I simply mounted the LED board on a Gopro mount, and installed it on top of my quad. Works quite well because I can also adjust the angle.
Remember to keep the LED away from the camera lens to avoid glare.
Flying at night is much more challenging than flying during the day due to the low visibility. Choosing your location is therefore very important, any light source would help tremendously, for example, lampposts.
To avoid losing a quad in the middle of nowhere, make sure to attach a buzzer with built-in battery.
Runcam Eagle 2 PRO is not good for Night Flying at all.
As an Eagle 2 owner, I am satisfied with its Night performance. I am getting a new Night Eagle 2 Pro. Your article really helps!
Hi Oscar, are you keen to review the last night fpv cameras?
it should be the state of art in terms of night FPV camera.
Great review plus Tips Carlos !
Regarding the NUT, these are Bluetooth only (not GPS)?
I’ve read mixed reviews on the performance of these trackers (in general) – some work, some not at all .
Can I ask please, what mobile phone App you use to “track” the Tag?
Most of these nuts are based on bluetooth LE, which has poor range.
After trying a couple of those I found the KeyRinger, this system uses 2 identical tags which make a loud beeping pattern when triggered. Its twin hears the sound and starts making loud alarm beeps so you can localize it.
I’ve crashed my drones in nature a lot and have never lost any.
i’ve also been flying at night with IR LED and it’s great! even in pitch black i can see well enough to fly about 50% to 75% of my top speed. Hovering visibility is just fine and can see great out to about 30 feet / 10m. I use different IR LED’s that are from ebay. They are specified at 5 watts but i measured them at about 3 with my setup. I use 4 of the LED’s and angle them differently so all of my cameras FOV is illuminated. I pull about 20 watts or 1.7amps at 12V.
However: beware if the light from the leds gets straight into the lens, it will cause a drop in contrast and destroy your image. My setup did this and it showed a ring in the middle of my view.
Will one of those 12V ring-stye IR led rings work properly if you just wired it into the 10V rail on your FC? That way, no extra battery, and you don’t need to worry if the led system is compatible with the voltage you are flying at.
Excellent article! Good to know about the Starlight cam, using IR light. This might be a direction I want to go soon.

On the other hand, we've seen poverty as severe as many other places, and lots of rural scenes. Horse carts galore, competing in cities with fancy cars in underpasses. Bicycles loaded with all kinds of construction goods and equipment. People living along the highway in shacks made of plastic sheeting. Beggars crawling around in the cities. Sometimes very sad.
The highways were delightful - they've all been privatized and are supported by tolls. In general we had good highways with some shoulder (we did not have to pay the toll - bicyclists and motorcycles are exempt) and the motorists were more respectful of cyclists than any country we've ridden in. This is probably because cycling is SO popular. The professional "Vuelta a Colombia", a race like the Tour de France, is on right now, and it's the top item in the papers every day.
Colombia is huge, nearly half the area of Texas, and with 42 million people. It has more biodiversity than any other country, with 1875 species of birds, 3500 species of butterflies, and 99 different ecosystems.
People were friendly and very proud of their country. They all wanted to show us around and show us how different the country is from what everyone has heard.
There's lots of news about the guerrilla group (the FARC) and the paramilitaries, and about the narcotics trafficking, of course, and how all these affect the politics of the country (and there have been some bribery scandals of late). It's all very exciting, and we feel like we just saw one episode of a long-running soap opera, and now we're going to miss the next episodes, but we're hooked already.
When Nancy disappeared in a shopping mall looking for a bathroom, I made a poor joke about her being kidnapped. It wasn't funny to our friends in Cali. I won't make any more kidnapping jokes in Colombia.
Hotels cost us as little as $7, and a good standard meal was usually about $3, so the country was pretty cheap.
Colombia is a great place, and a country to watch, and probably to invest in.

Phil Jaques is confident that Cricket Australia has done its utmost to ensure security levels are high for Australia A's tour of Pakistan in September. Pakistan will provide the A and Under-19 sides with the kind of security measures usually reserved for Test sides, including close protection officers at all times.
"It's one of those things, isn't it," Jaques told Cricinfo during Worcestershire's match with Surrey at Guildford. "We put faith in Cricket Australia making the right decision with regard to our safety.
"I've toured there before [again with Australia A, in September 2005] when incidents have happened over there not far from where we were. It was scary but it's one of those things - you put faith in Cricket Australia and the guys that go there on pre-tour investigations to know the area.
"That's their job; they're security people. It's their job to make sure it's safe for us and I'm sure it will be safe." A security delegation from Cricket Australia has already reviewed arrangements for the tours and a Pakistan spokesman has said it was "fully satisfied with what it saw during the visit."
Jaques is hoping to use the tour to cement the Test opener spot vacated by Justin Langer earlier this year. He has competition from Chris Rogers, Shane Watson and Brad Hodge. "It's exciting times," he said. "Hopefully I can use the tour to push for one of those spots." His English season has been going well - before the floods started to hit Worcestershire.
He wasn't affected by the flooding, as his house is on high ground, but he had to come to the rescue of team-mate Gareth Batty was stranded for a couple of days. "He had to stay at my house, he got cut off," Jaques said. "A couple of other guys were stuck trying to get in."
Worcester don't have indoor training facilities, so it's been a question of fitting in fitness training where possible. "We've now got an outdoor swimming pool, though," he said, referring to the New Road ground, which is underwater. "Fifty metres or so? It's probably the biggest swimming pool in England."

The story of Landmark starts in 1960 when it was originally founded by Rev. and Mrs. Stephen Eldred as Battle Ground Tabernacle. Our church today sits on the same property it was founded on over 60 years ago! The dream of the Eldred’s was that the church would be at the center of the community. The only problem with that was that in 1960 the property was not even in the city limits. But, Rev. Eldred was a visionary, not just a dreamer. God had placed a dream AND a vision in his heart and out of that vision came to be what we know as Landmark Church. As you can see, we’re pretty close to the center of our city! Our church has been part of the Battle Ground community for over 60 years because an obedient man said yes to a dream, to a vision!
Fast forward to 1977. Feeling the call of God on their lives, our current pastors, Pastor Ed and Sherrel Staton, would move from Coos Bay, Oregon to Battle Ground with a car, a trailer, a toddler, and a burden to serve the city of Battle Ground. It was 3 short years later that God would place in their hearts another dream, a vision, really. That vision would be of building a larger facility better equipped to serve the growing community around them. In 1980 that dream started to become reality as they broke ground and began construction on the building you see today. Through the recession of the 1980’s, amidst a bleak unemployment rate, and after many challenges and countless miracles, God was faithful. In 1993, after many years of working, dreaming, crying, doubting, trusting, praying, and building, they and their congregation moved, debt-free, into their new building. The church we call Landmark is, quite literally, a dream turned reality by the grace of God and the obedience of the faithful servants who have gone before us! What a heritage!
Over the years, it has been our honor to carry on the legacy and vision of our founding pastors, the Eldred’s. We have seen dreams come to pass and have felt new dreams being placed in the heart of God’s people. As a result, we believe that God has placed us here in Battle Ground to serve and help meet the various personal and spiritual needs of this area. The heart of Landmark is best expressed with these words, “We are a place to call home, where everyone is welcome, nobody’s perfect, and anything is possible!” As we use various kinds of ministry and serve our community with hearts of genuine love and compassion, we hope to impact people, regardless of where they’re at on their spiritual journey, with the hope and healing power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

As you read and watch the national news, do you ever feel so totally frustrated you could shout, or cry?
Do you ever wonder why our elected leaders aren't speaking up?
Why don't they do something to stop America's transformation to tyranny?
It seems like anything they could say would be better than nothing. Well, almost anything.
Today I watched a totally frustrated congressman speak out. I don't blame him. He must have been totally fed up with the way Washington works. I'm grateful he cares about the Constitution and he cares about the people he serves.
Maybe he thought this was the only way to get people talking. It's hard to say. I just wish he would have prepared himself to speak in a more rational, persuasive way.
Moms, we can do better. We too need to prepare ourselves to speak up. Our country needs us.
Choose an issue and study about it.
Write up key talking points.
Share the message with family, friends, and neighbors.
Think about other ways to communicate the message and to make a difference.
Teach our children. Help them understand the issues. Give them opportunities to speak up.
We live at a time when we need to courageously speak out and defend the Constitution or our liberty will be lost.

Heaney, J., & Heaney, M. (2008). Services Branding Strategies: Using Corporate Branding to Market Educational Institutions. Academy of World Business, Marketing and Mangement Development Conference.
Corporate Branding has been suggested as an appropriate branding strategy for branding services as opposed to service product branding (Dall’Olmo Riley and de Chernatony, 2000). As corporate branding takes into account the perspectives of various stakeholders associated with the organization, this concept then becomes a crucial strategy when branding and marketing educational institutions. This paper provides an important theoretical contribution to services marketing literature by providing conceptual applications of corporate branding to educational institutions.
The paper also examines how different stakeholders including staff, students, admissions officers and other related faculty and parents can be integrated to enhance the branding of education. In addition to the theoretical contribution, managerial implications on using corporate branding are raised as part of future research issues.
