Walking around the colonial-era coffee plantation of Antiguo Cafetal Angerona, I asked our guide if the plantation had many visitors. It was a popular destination for tourists he assured us. Later, signing the visitors’ book, I couldn’t help but notice that the last visitor had been five days earlier. Just one person, from Germany. Time moves at a different speed in the Cuban countryside.
This shouldn’t have been a surprise. Even with a Cuban driver we’d had to ask directions to Antiguo Cafetal Angerona on three separate occasions. Finally, we found the dirt track that led to the ruins of a formerly luxurious hacienda. For the previous hour we’d seen little but horse drawn traffic, the occasional bicycle and a couple of tractors. It felt like we’d stepped back in time.
Arriving just below the imposing ruins of the hacienda, we spotted some men sat outside a nearby building. We wandered over to say ‘hello’. It was 10am and a nearly empty bottle of rum sat on the table between them. The oldest of the group offered to show us around. He was knowledgeable and charming, but you could smell the rum from five feet away.
Founded in 1813 by German immigrant Cornelio Sauchay, this was one of the first coffee plantations in Cuba. Like most of the colonial economy of the island it was a slave plantation. As we walked towards some ruins that were being slowly devoured by tropical fauna, our guide pointed to the former slave quarters and a bell tower that doubled as a watchtower for escaping slaves.
Four hundred and fifty slaves – men, women and children – lived and worked on the plantation, cultivating around three-quarters of a million coffee plants. By the mid-19th Century it had become the second largest plantation in Cuba. It’s an atmospheric place, the decay of the buildings set perfectly against the lush greenery. In this setting, it’s hard to imagine the human misery that made it all possible.
We passed by a deep well and huge water cisterns used for irrigation. The plantation was like a small town with its own factories producing bricks for the buildings and clothes for the slaves. The plantation feels isolated today, in the 19th Century it must have been like another universe. Self sufficiency would have been vital for the survival of the estate.
In one of those ironic twists of fate, Cornelio Sauchay fell in love with a black woman from Haiti, Ursula Lambert. In an age when this was forbidden, the plantation’s isolation provided the perfect cover for them to live together. It’s claimed Ursula’s influence ensured the slaves of Antiguo Cafetal Angerona had a marginally better existence than slaves elsewhere in Cuba.
They lived in small houses in family groups, had their own kitchens, and didn’t have to work at night or in the searing heat of the afternoon sun. There was even a ‘hospital’ that treated slaves who were sick or injured. A small flicker of enlightenment maybe, but the slaves were locked up at night and the watchtower was built to prevent escape.
In an even more remarkable twist of fate, it seems that although Ursula left the plantation without any money when Sauchay died, she became a successful businesswoman. She died wealthy on Cuba Street in Havana Vieja, the (presumably) proud owner of twenty slaves. Weird thing history.
Today the coffee plants are long gone and the fertile red earth is now given over to towering fields of sugar cane. Somehow that seems to add to the atmosphere of the place. We walked back to the car, meeting a few farm workers on their way home who were keen to have a chat. Then it was back to the Carretera Central de Cuba and onwards to the magnificent Vale de Viñales.

She’s still bitter. I don’t blame her, but life is both sorrow and joy. There is nothing we get to keep forever, not even our lives. I ran across Wordworth‘s words the other day, and I wanted to email them to her….
What though the radiance which was once so bright/Be now forever taken from my sight,/Though nothing can bring back the hour /Of splendor in the grass, or glory in the flower;/We will grieve not, rather find/Strength in what remains behind….
But I didn’t. Nor did I watch the aching long-ago movie with those words as its theme. As a young woman, when I saw the movie, I didn’t understand it. But now I do. Hold tight to what you love while you have it, grieve it when it’s gone, but move on…and on…and on…..because that’s what life does.
Have you let go yet? Tell me how you did it….
Today I thought of a story I’d saved from the paper about an exhibit called: Apron Strings. Do you even know what an apron is? Women used to wear them to protect their dresses as they did domestic chores. And female servants always wore them, going as far back as the 1700s. Today we see Betty Draper‘s maid in one on Mad Men. Somewhere between the 1960s and now, the apron died. Did civil rights kill it? Undoing the memory of legions of black maids in starched, white aprons? Or feminism? What did they symbolize that they died the way they did? The old newspaper story made me remember women in my life who’d worn them, women who’d worked hard and kept family together. But I didn’t learn to sew or cook or embroider or quilt or crochet or tat because the women who did those things weren’t respected by the men I loved. These days, I am learning old ways, cooking, hand-stitching. There’s a yearning in my learning. I don’t know quite what for. Is it the lure of the simplicity of making something small and necessary, of service with quiet, quick, deft hands? Am I appeasing the ghosts of the women who reared me and the women who reared them, gentle ghosts, gallant ghosts, indispensable ghosts who kept the home fires burning and likely wore aprons?
Who are the ghosts in your life? How can they be appeased? And why is that necessary? I know it is. But why?
It’s that tender time of year, sweetness showing in the new green of grass and tree buds. The redbud and tulip tree define the city in such tender colors: not quite purple, not quite pink for the tulip tree. And as for the redbud, even the thesaurus can’t summon a tint to match its beauty: amethyst, wine, madder, violet, none of them quite fit.
New beginnings, birth, rebirth, that’s what spring signifies. What will you begin? What project or life goal have you put off? What in you needs to be birthed? What in you needs to be born again, this time into a kinder frame? When the green shading of the grass is so clear it hurts to see, it’s life itself prompting us to unfurl, move, shake, grow, dare. Can you, will you….and what?
Lord of the Rings trilogy (afraid of this one…why won’t I start….help me out, those of you who’ve read them); Thames, the biography; Art & Soul; Ottoline and the Yellow Cat; Horses: history, myth, art; London: the years of change; Sweat Your Prayers; Good Poems for hard times; I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings; We are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For; The River of Doubt; Animal, Vegetable, Miracle; Visioning.
That’s just the stack by the chair. There are even more by the bed. When I travel, I have to take at least three books with me. And then I usually find something in the airport bookstore. I seldom read more than two of the books I bring….one always on the plane. I’ve thought about that. Why don’t I just look at the people and maybe engage? There might be something interesting I’d learn. But I can’t not read a book on a plane. And then the book gets me through the sleepless nights when I travel. And the others––they’re for security. I have to have a stack wherever I am. Sony Reader, Kindle, IPad….what about us stackers? Maybe a virtual stack is just as comforting. Is it? You tell me.
And then I have my fall back: Georgette Heyer’s regency novels. They comfort me when nothing else can. I know all the plots by heart. I don’t care. She’s never stale to me. She’s my pacifier.
What’s in a stack by your bed or chair? It probably doesn’t matter if we ever read them, does it? It’s all about the stack. Wonder why….

While it may not be THURSday, it is still Thor’s day here at Comic Noize. Or rather, Thor’s week. Just saw the dude’s movie and it was solid. I don’t like movies so I’ll probably never watch it again, but I won’t take to Twitter telling everyone they’re fools for liking it (See: that last Batman movie). While Walter Simonson was no doubt the primary influence on the film, let’s not low-rate the other names who have graced Thor pages.
Here’s a little Jim Shooter for you. I see people attacking him on the internet, but I feel that those people are probably frost giants with an agenda. Dude can write; who cares about his off-page demeanor? Nerds. That’s who. Shooter’s not losing sleep over what Fr0stGynt420 is putting on a messageboard.

I always struggle with figuring out exactly what it is I do, over the past 18 months I’ve worked as a director, a producer, a presenter, an actor, a camera operator, a camera assistant, an editor, a colourist and a technician. I like the idea of coming under some sort of storyteller category so I’ll go with Documentary Filmmaker – that may change next week!
Do you think this choice affected your future prospects?
Right now I’m in a far better place than I ever could have imagined I’d get to by this age, and honestly I don’t think I’d be here if I went to university. That doesn’t mean I don’t agree with it though and I definitely don’t want to discourage people from going. I was fortunate enough to have parents that believed in me and when I told my mum I was going to work in a fish factory in Norway 5 years after leaving school, still with no skills and qualifications she was kinda cool with it, I think! But by spending all this time travelling around the world, constantly getting out of my comfort zone and being exposed to different cultures and ways of life definitely gave me the people skills that have put me where I am today. On the flip side though, the team of people I do almost all my work with have all been to university and got great things out of it.
Did you come back from your travels with a clear-cut path of what you wanted to do?
I think nothing has a clear cut path, I’ve had huge ideas of what I want to do and where I want to get to but everything changes so rapidly in the world we live in that I never get stuck on one idea of “where I’ll be in 5 years time” for longer than about 5 minutes! A great quote I read in an interview the other day was “if you’ve got to the end and its exactly how you imagined it, you weren’t listening enough along the way” our lives are filled with opportunities that present themselves on a daily basis, its always worth being open to new ideas even if they don’t fit into your end goal.
What was your first job and did you enjoy it?
My first job was milking cows on a farm that mostly employed people with downs syndrome. It was amazing, everyone was always happy and from a very young age I got to see where a lot of my food came from. I take this for granted and its a huge shame a lot of people aren’t aware of this.
I think social media really messes with a lot of young people’s heads. They see girls on Instagram with millions of followers for having a ‘desirable’ body or YouTubers making stupid amounts of money for being rude to people. How’s this stuff meant to be inspiring? Those aren’t dreams with any value that young people should be striving for. I also think there’s a lot of pressure to figure out your calling or passion or something you want to develop into a career that you would enjoy doing, I’m 26 and still don’t really how its gonna go for me but through trial and error and making mistakes I’m slowly learning what makes me happy and what doesn’t.
Can you explain what Where’s Kong is?
Wheres Kong is a production company I started with two friends.
How did the idea for Where’s Kong come about/originate?
We were all working in and around video but getting paid crap money for long hours, we wanted to have something that belonged to us where we could work for ourselves.
What were the biggest challenges you faced when setting up Where’s Kong?
The hardest thing initially for me was quitting my regular job not knowing if I’d actually make any money at all to cover my rent and outgoings. But I’ve come to learn that when you HAVE to make it work, you make it work. The biggest challenge is getting the clients, I enjoy making videos and I really don’t enjoy cold emailing people relentlessly but unfortunately that’s a pretty necessary element to having your own company!
What were the initial steps you took in starting it up?
I’d saved a bit of money over the years, I wasn’t really sure what for and this seemed like a good thing to put it into. I invested most of it in kit, also set back 3 months worth of living costs to give myself some breathing room after quitting my job and during this time I developed my skills massively too. We then built a showreel so we had something that explained what we could do.
Hmmm I don’t think we asked anyone for advice we sort of just thought we’d wing it! My cousin Ruby came to a few of the first meetings and had some really useful stuff to say having previously owned her own magazine, we’d really like to have her more involved in the company further down the line as she’s so great at what she does but we’re not quite big time enough to be employing people yet!
I doubt myself all the time! Usually when I’m hungover or working too hard and forget to take time out to breath and see a bit clearer. Its easy to compare yourself to other people and feel crap when you don’t excel to their level straight away but I always try to think about where I was this time last year or even 6 months ago, its important to recognise and be grateful for any new skills, contacts or just general career progression you acquire on a regular basis.
Almost every bit of work I get now is word of mouth, that helps with social media as its easy for people to pass on portfolio to others but now I have an established product everyone I come into contact with is usually up for helping me out through recommendations.
Haha everyone likes the idea of having the skills they’ve learnt when they were at school or whatever but to be honest learning is the most exciting thing for me so I don’t really wish I’d known any of the stuff I know now. When I make something new and figure out a new technique or process I get this crazy feeling of excitement and I’m pretty sure that’s what keeps me going! Actually I probably would have told myself not to worry about stuff looking perfect, I worked this out but in the beginning I got pretty fixed on trying to make beautiful looking videos. This doesn’t happen when you’re starting out, it’s more important to just churn out experimental projects and get to grips with the tools you’re using.
Apart from a few bits of broken equipment, nothing too major-quitting my job was the biggest risk so far and it paid off massively. It’s probably about time I put some more stuff on the line to be honest! When things fail though they generate a different outcome to the one intended, I strongly believe it’s always a better outcome. My projects often take massive dips due to various circumstances but the outcomes are always far greater than what I initially intend for.
What advice would you give other twenty-something’s who are thinking of setting up their own venture in this industry?
Your 20’s are the most exciting time for trying stuff out, you probably don’t have a family depending on you or a mortgage yet so you can experiment, get stuff wrong, learn new skills and generally just try to figure life out. As far as working in the video industry, degree or no degree everyone starts at the bottom. Whether it’s kit rental or running or something else you have to learn these jobs so you’re still able to do them or at least understand them when you’re running the show. The cliché of ‘who you know now what you know’ is very much how this industry operates, don’t let this put you off it can work in your favour. Selling yourself is only a matter of being confident and being nice, a good reputation goes a long way. Building a good team around you of similar likeminded people is extremely important, I’ve drifted away from quite a few friendships but found myself far more motivated and focused when spending time with people who have similar interests to me.
What do you think the next steps are for Where’s Kong?
We’d like Where’s Kong to grow but also for us to operate and get paid for our personal projects under this name. At the moment the work we get through this company is just to pay the rent. The dream will be when people want to buy the stuff we film in our spare time!
What has been your best moment as a result of Where’s Kong?
Our best moment so far, was when we had an epic weekend last summer in Dorset and then Cornwall shooting two different documentaries. Everything worked out better than we could have expected and looked amazing, we had a pretty insane amount of gear, drones, steady cams etc and I definitely thought if I could make days like this happen everyday and be paid for it I’d be living a seriously good life!

At right is the award-winning Renaissance Telescope for high resolution photography and visual astronomy. Below it are five 82° Field Tele Vue Nagler Eyepieces, some of the accessories that contribute to high image quality. The telescope and eyepieces are representative of a family of optical equipment manufactured by Tele Vue Optics, Inc., Suffern, New York. Tele Vue's devices incorporate space technology developed for NASA's Gemini and Apollo projects.
Tele Vue products represent examples of the personnel type technology transfer, wherein people who work for NASA or its contractors move to another industry, bringing with them aerospace-acquired skills and know-how applicable to non-aerospace use.
The instrument of technology transfer in this instance was Al Nagler, president and founder of Tele Vue Optics. From 1957 to 1973, Nagler worked as senior optical systems designer for Farrand Optical Company, Valhalla, New York. Under contract to NASA, Farrand developed visual simulators for several NASA programs. Nagler's particular responsibility was displays for the Gemini and Apollo Lunar Module spacecraft. The visual simulators used large mirrors to project images of Earth orbit, docking and lunar landing. The latter was simulated by a complex "optical probe," a TV camera and lens that "flew" down onto a scale model of the lunar surface.
Nagler's experience in these and other space technologies provided the technical basis for the Renaissance Telescope, his patented wide angle eyepieces and other optical systems. In 1977, Nagler founded Tele Vue, which designs and manufactures projection TV lenses as well as telescopes and eyepieces, and additionally performs consulting and optical design for the military services, aerospace firms and commercial businesses.

There is an exciting new cycling bike tour kicking off this weekend and because it caught my attention a couple weeks ago, I wanted to blog about it and help with the promotion.
On Sunday, September 26th The first Annual Ride For Red will begin. It is a 4000 km bike tour starting in Calgary, AB to and finishing in Santa Monica, CA (Los Angeles). The tour is in support of the Canadian and American Red Cross organizations, with a fundraising goal of 1 million dollars for each organization. I would love to see them accomplish that and more. Funds will be raised through tour events and daily stops, as well as a major online presence. Four full time riders (Miss Canada and three Olympians), 20 celebrity riders, and various day riders will participate in this great event. Riders Shannon Lynn (@_MissCanada), Brock Kreitzburg (@brockkreitzburg), Christina Smith, and Billy Schuffenhauer look forward to their 100 km a day rides for 40 days straight.
The team plans to arrive in Santa Monica by November 4th and along the way they hope to have people ride along with them every day they are out on the road. The team is passionate about giving back to the community, helping others, and supports the Red Cross’s initiatives.
You can follow the team’s training and ride progress online at www.therideforred.com. Donations may be made online.
I hope both the fund raising and the ride(s) go well.

As most well-travelled individuals would readily know, Thailand is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating and breath-taking nations, not just in Asia, but the entire globe. It boosts of intriguing flora and fauna that continually pulls millions of foreign guests each single year. As well been home to numerous captivating manmade attractions that are universally known for their uniqueness and beauty.
The following is a short list of some top ten surprising facts about Thailand you probably never heard of before.
1. To begin with, the capital Bangkok effortlessly stands out from the rest of the pack when it comes to the fact that it is also known to Thais as Krung Thep Maha Nakhorn. However what is more amazing is that its full ceremonial name runs more than 169 characters that would be too long to insert in this article.
2. Bangkok also happens to be the world’s most visited cities, when it comes to the total number of foreign guests who pay it a visit. According to the global destinations cities index, Bangkok registered more than 15 million international arrivals in 2013.
3. One of Thailand’s most singular festivals happens to be the monkey buffet that is held each year right in front of the Pra Prang Sam Yot temple located in the province of Lopburi. More than 600 monkeys are welcomed to partake on at least 2 tonnes of grilled sausages, ice cream, fresh fruits and many other culinary treats. The local population deems this festival as a show of gratitude to these creatures that inhabit the surrounding villages and draw thousands of tourists annually.
4. This nation also makes home for the world’s ninth tallest statue; the great Buddha that is found in the Wat Buddhist monastery located in the province of Ang Thong.
5. Thailand is also home to the world’s tallest stupa; the Phra Pathom Chedi that stands at an imposing 127 metres above the ground.
6. Elephant polo happens to be one of the most popular sports in this country, and the King’s Cup is one of the major events in Thailand’s sporting calendar. The beach resort of Hua Hin is one of the 3 venues where this game is held, the other 2 being in Nepal and Sri Lanka.
7. The town of Kanchanburi is universally famous for its bridge over the Kwai River, which is also part of the Burma- Siam railway. It is estimated that approximately 80,000 to 100,000 individuals forfeited their lives during the course of its erection.
8. Coming back to the capital Bangkok, this city was once upon a time crisscrossed with dozens of canal or “Khlongs” as the local population calls them. And most buildings here once stood on stilts. This fact went on to earn Bangkok the epithet “The Venice of the Far East”.
9. Buddhism happens to be the main religion in Thailand and it is estimated that approximately ninety five per cent of this nation’s population actively practice it.
10. Finally, Thailand also goes down under the world’s records as the only South East Asian country that was never colonized by any European power.
There are many other elements but; the above is an insight with this respect.

Private payrolls in the US increased by a seasonally adjusted 204,000 in August, marking a sharply stronger gain over the previous month’s revised 153,000 advance, the Labor Department reports. Meantime, the year-over-over trend held steady at a 1.9% pace for the sixth month in a row. Today’s numbers reaffirm that the labor market continues to expand at a healthy rate, a sign that the nine-year-old economic expansion is in no immediate danger and so further monetary policy tightening has a green light to continue.
Measuring the trend in payrolls via one-year changes shows that the recent revival in the growth rate is stable. A year ago, the trend in private-sector employment was decelerating, dropping to a gain as low as 1.6% for the 12 months through September 2017. Since then, companies have been hiring more workers. Since March, the annual pace has more or less held steady at around 1.9%.
Fed funds futures are pricing in a near-certainty that the central bank will announce another rate hike at the next FOMC announcement on September 26. CME data this morning points to a 99% probability that the target Fed funds rate will edge up 25 basis points to a 2.0%-to-2.25% range.
Today’s update also shows that wage growth is ticking higher. Average hourly earnings increased 2.9% — the fastest rate in nine years. The firmer pace offers lays the groundwork for questioning the Treasury market’s forecast that inflation’s recent rebound has peaked.
If so, the Fed’s plans to normalize monetary policy are set to roll on. Short of a dramatic geopolitical event or surprisingly weak inflation numbers in next week’s update on consumer inflation, another rate hike at the end of the month looks like a done deal.

If you’re a Mac user, there’s a decent chance you’ve heard of Macheist, a deal site that bundles different Mac applications together for a ridiculously low price. While The Heist isn’t a bundled software deal, it’s an insanely addictive puzzle game for the iPhone based on a theme of trying to crack into a safe — hence the title. There are four different puzzle types and over 60 levels, each one with distinct themes and objectives. And, in addition, there’s a promised prize to any user that completes every level in the game. Not a bad hook, right? The game is built by developer TapTapTap, makers of the Camera+ iPhone app, and it’s available now for $0.99 in the App Store — and it’s currently sitting pretty as the No. 1 paid app.
How much were you paid for this “review”… it would be nice if BGR started declaring which articles are paid PR pieces, and what are actual reviews or news that were done on your own accord/investigation.
You’re an arrogant prick aren’t you?
I had to laugh at that comment since it was so absurd. That’s being arrogant? Unlike other sites, we don’t accept payment for anything besides banner advertising. The accusation that we’d get paid for something and post it (on top of not disclosing it) is funny to me.
Well, I guess for all of us that don’t know you personally, a 3 letter response to, what to me seems like a reasonable question/comment seems a bit like a “kiss my a$$” response. If you say that you don’t get paid for reviews etc… I accept that and appreciate your more detailed response below. Just as a suggestion, you may want to have a permanent statement on your website that outlines your policies on receiving payment (or not) for reviews/comments etc… You could direct people to that when people make future queries.
It is perfectly normal to be an arrogant prick. When is one not?
Please Geller, a about a year or two ago I remember seeing a small PR icon beside a few posts a day, than icon has since disappeared, and I highly doubt BGR and your parent company would refuse the cash from PR pieces.
Why do Androidanus people assume all Apple related posts are paid for, and the endless Android reviews are not? Why do Androidanus people post in Apple related posts more than Apple users, yet the same Androidanus people claim to not care about Apple? Me thinks the Androidanus people protest too much – which means they love Apple products and Apple posts.
Not a very good app.. I downloaded it with Installous so I got it for free and I don’t play it. Thank goodness I didn’t pay for it!
what is installous? It sounds closed off and terrible. DROID FTW!
I’m supposed to pay 99 cents for an app that let’s me buy more apps? Ehhhhh…..
The game they give you is really boring, but I love the concept of playing a game to earn something.
Shouldn’t this review be on an apple blog ?
Reviewing a certain app from one certain manufacturer on a general tech blog ?
Probably the most ridiculous post ever in BGR. And that is saying a lot. So BGR should only post things that cover all phones? If an Android phone comes out, don’t review it because it’s only one certain manufacturer?
It’s a tech blog coving tech. This is a Heist on iPhone is tech related.

Access control are a security technique that can be used to regulate who or what can use resources in a building or business. There are two main types of access control: physical and logical. Physical access control limits access to campuses, buildings, rooms and physical IT assets. Logical access limits connections to computer networks, system files and data..
Access control management presents many opportunities for security solution providers. When your businesses grow and more employees are added, efficient access control management becomes essential to protect your business.
What is the purpose of an access control system?
All modern organizations need to protect their physical and IP assets along with ensuring the safety of their employees by controlling movement of people with pre-defined rules.
Access Control solution can control access on three dimensions simultaneously – user, zone and time.
Answering the three fundamental questions – who, where and when. In addition, access control incorporates a range of value-added features like Anti-Pass Back, 2-Person Rule, First-in User, Blocked Users, Door Auto Re-lock, Guard Tour, Man-Trap and Smart Card based Identification ensure foolproof security of physical assets and safety of manpower.
For small and medium business organizations, a standalone Access Control solution while keeping security and simplicity in mind. Access control software works on industry standard IP protocol allowing organizations to expand easily, even with a single door. These single door biometric and card controllers are connected to an intelligent standalone site controller on CAT5/CAT6 cabling. Organizations can control user and device configuration by use of the UI. Access control can be controlled and done without installing UI site controller on any devices.

A good Friend of the Freds (FOF), John Goen sent the Head Fred this photo on a recent trip home to Dyersville, Iowa. As you can see it was a bright, sunny and warm day in Iowa when John took this cool photo. We don’t know what ‘Fred’s DX’ was or who ‘Fred’ is, but we love the photo.
A Dyersville Fun Fact: In 1982, screenwriter Phil Robinson became interested in the novel “Shoeless Joe.” He recognized the potential for this heartwarming story and looked for a setting for the film. In the early months of 1988, Robinson came upon the Lansing farm near Dyersville and said, “That’s it! That’s my farm!” The movie produced was called “The Field of Dreams,” starring Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones. Today the site is well maintained and visited by many baseball enthusiasts. FOF John Goen told us that when the film crew came to their town they needed baseball player ‘extras’. If you remember the closing scene from the movie, when all the old players come out of the cornfield, a lot of those guys were friend’s John played baseball with in school.
Another Dyersville Fun Fact: While researching John’s photo we found a famous Dyersville Fred. He was Fred Ertl, Sr. who started the ‘Ertl Toy Company in 1945. They made Toy Farm Equipment. His John Deere tractor was one of the most popular models. Fred’s farm toys were hugely popular. So much so that Dyersville is known as the ‘Farm Toy Capital of the World’ and is the home to the ‘National Farm Toy Museum’.

Have you ever wondered why your computer crashes sometimes when you give it the 3-finger salute? I'll bet this happens to you most often when you're using some type of memory manager. This article might explain your problems. But sorry to disappoint you, it doesn't contain a solution -- except hit that big red switch.
This file describes anomalies and inconsistencies with the Descriptor Cache Registers. Source code is also included. The source code may not be too useful, as it requires the use of LOADALL. Unfortunately, LOADALL was removed on the Intel486 and later processors.
Did you ever wonder why the NULL descriptor isn't used by the processor? Well, I won't burst your bubble, I don't know either. But I do what you can use it for, and it's real handy. System's programmers, O/S writers, and general nerds, you need to see this.
Who says old dogs can't learn new tricks? If you've ever done any reasonable amount of system's programming, you know the dilemma you have of writing common source code to get the 80286 and all newer processors out of protected mode. On one extreme, the 80286 can't get out of protected mode without resetting the microprocessor. Intel learned from this mistake, and starting with the 80386 provided a means to gracefully return from protected mode. But the problem is how to write common source code which returns both processors from protected mode, in an efficient manner.

As I read Rachel Heng’s debut, SUICIDE CLUB, my thoughts repeatedly turned to José Saramago’s 2005 novel (translated into English in 2008), DEATH WITH INTERRUPTIONS. Like that work, Heng’s envisions a world in which death is no longer entirely inevitable. Saramago’s book is more metaphysical and philosophical, to be sure, but at the end of the day, both titles prompt readers to consider if eternal life --- at least on a societal, systematic scale --- is really an attractive prospect.
In Heng’s novel, unlike Saramago’s, the prospect of immortality is the product of technology. In the near-future United States that Heng creates, humans haven’t quite achieved immortality yet, though rumors abound that the so-called Third Wave --- in which a chosen few are singled out for true immortality --- may already be underway. Heng envisions a world in which detailed genetic testing intersects with ever more invasive biotechnological innovations. Those who are identified as “lifers” --- that is, those whose genetic makeup predisposes them to live long lives --- are entitled to a variety of synthetic bodily enhancements, from skin to blood to organs, that can further extend lifespans, which are also being lengthened through restrictive diet, intense (but not joint-damaging) exercise, and strict avoidance of anything, including music, that might raise toxic cortisol levels.
"Despite its dark premise and some truly disturbing scenes, SUICIDE CLUB is, at its heart, a celebration of humanity --- its accomplishments and its foibles."
SUICIDE CLUB focuses on two women who have just passed the century mark but, as lifers, are still viewed more or less as young women. Lea is a rising professional, a textbook lifer who works in biological commodities trading and has an equally attractive and ambitious boyfriend. Lea follows all the rules and has every intention of living forever --- if the Third Wave arrives soon --- or at least as long as possible.
On the other hand, there’s Anja, an accomplished violinist and daughter of one of the world’s great classical singers. But Anja’s mother can’t make music anymore; essentially a cyborg in a coma, she is kept alive by nearly indestructible technology but reduced to something far less than human.
When Lea catches a glimpse of her father, who she hasn’t seen in decades, the events that transpire bring Lea and Anja together, throwing into question many of Lea’s assumptions about the “right” way to live and die and dredging up a number of troubling incidents from Lea’s past that may call into question her rights and ability to be a lifer.
Like Saramago’s novel before it, SUICIDE CLUB raises profound philosophical questions about such fundamental issues as the sanctity of human life, the necessity of free choice, and the desire to embrace the time we are given. At the most basic level, Heng’s novel asks, when it comes to human lifespan, if quantity outweighs quality. And what does a life well lived even look like? But the book is also very personal --- about parents and children, about siblings, and about the awkwardness and beauty of making friends with someone whose worldview runs counter to one’s own.

Sauté onions and pepper in butter 10-15 minutes. Add crawfish tails and sauté another 5 minutes. Add rest of ingredients, and simmer down for 30-40 minutes, stirring often. Taste for spiciness and salt. Serve over rice or over broiled fish like trout or grouper. Feeds 4 as a main dish, 6 if served over fish.

Father Benito Viñes is a fascinating look at the life of a man who worked on the cutting edge of weather science while still remaining devoted to his religious life. It depicts Viñes as both pioneer in the study of tropical meteorology and a colonial Jesuit priest. With notes that put his life into modern context, this book puts a much deserved spotlight on a figure who played a crucial role in making our lives safer.
Luis E. Ramos Guadalupe is director of the Historical Heritage Section of the Academia de Ciencias de Cuba.
Imagine forecasting hurricanes without using computers, satellites or radar. That's what Father Benito Vines, the famed "hurricane priest" of 19th-century Cuba, did.
A new book out this year details the life and career of Vines, who made it his life's work to save lives and teach the public about the weather.
Vines developed a network of observation stations unlike anything seen before his time, and his research laid the groundwork for early warning systems we use today.
In the streaming audio below, I chat with Oswaldo Garcia, a meteorologist from San Francisco State University, who this year translated the book Father Benito Vines: The 19th-Century Life and Contributions of a Cuban Hurricane Observer and Scientist.
The book was published by the American Meteorological Society.

Among all M&A deals in the week, twelve of the deals were to acquire financial services firms, about half of which are commercial banks. Another eight deals were in the business-to-business services space. The mid-Atlantic states, including the states from New York to Virginia and D.C., were the busiest area of activity last week, producing eight deals.
Ratings and research giant Nielsen (NYS: NLSN) is restarting the process to sell itself, as buyout firm Blackstone expresses interest in the 95-year-old firm. The company, which is best known for its TV-ratings reports, is looking for a sale price near $10 billion. The firm’s TV-ratings segment is beginning to struggle amid the eruption of cable cutting, but the firm also boasts a growing consumer-goods research segment that sells data to manufacturers and retailers. Ultimately, however, the growing presence of e-commerce players, such as Amazon, is putting competitive pressure on Nielsen.

How am I saving the pennies?! Well, I have been selling a lot of my items via eBay and Etsy…I am a bit of a crafter, knitter and all round recycling being! I love to be creative.
Here are just a few of the things that I have made (and now trying to sell)…I could save collecting plastic bottles to use (see Plastic Cash?!); that may help with transport costs.
I have thought about posting a “Hourie” at People Per Hour; £30 for a Conversational Practice Session in English over Skype; does that sound like a good idea? Has anyone ever done that? Are any of you on People Per Hour?
I have also been thinking about just saving money by opening a Saving Account; however at the present moment in time the rates are not that good and it would take me a while to save up.
I do have a part time job; delivering and collecting catalogues, which most of the time is fun but not in the weather that Britain has currently been suffering from!
← How exciting…good news on my arrival home!

People always claim that they have to keep reinventing themselves throughout their lifetime. From youth to our golden years, we always strive to better ourselves. One reason may be for us to try to give ourselves a stronger identity. During our youth and teen years, students tend to be recognized for their grades. However, with college lurking around the corner, taking part in extracurricular activities during one’s high school years (and even earlier than that) is important to college administrators when they hand-pick their up-and-coming students. In other words, good grades and outside activities involve both the learning experience and having fun. It’s also a way for kids and teenagers to impress their parents, siblings and those around them.
On the morning of our interview, the incomparable Dr. Maya Angelou is busily working in her garden prior to our interview. She discusses her various leading African-American art sculptures, knock- out roses, and azaleas that people stop to photograph.
Maya Angelou: I had been raped when I was 7 years old. My hope was all these things that I had seen happen in the movies where people sigh and melt was going to happen. That was what it really was about. Well nothing happened. It was painful a little but it didn’t thrill. He was a jerk. He was 20 and I was 16. He did not know how to do any foreplay or encourage his mate to enjoy herself. What he wanted was relief not joy. I had to grow older to understand that.
When asked who is your favorite comedian, it’s difficult to leave out funnyman Rickey Smiley in a conversation amongst family, friends and the millions of fans who love him. I was granted the opportunity to interview the hilarious comedian in regards to “The Rickey Smiley Show“, which returned to TV One for the second season with all new shows.
Hector De La Rosa:In what ways has music helped Eric Roberson’s life?
How does it feel to be a viral sensation and finally getting the recognition that you deserve?
It's a bit surreal. I'm still getting used to the attention that I'm getting. From the gym to the local bars and restaurants, and even in my building, it's pretty cool hearing people say "Hey! You're the guy from the Superman ad?" To be tied to Superman is really cool. What was it like working on set with Henry Cavill and Zack Snyder?

Patrick Faucette of the Have's and the Have Nots Interviewed and written by Aaron Robinson- Editor After pursing an acting class while having a career as a Physical Therapist, it was soon that the talented and gifted actor, Patrick Faucette, would take on a love for his new found art, acting. At a young age, Patrick had a passion for playing the bass guitar. When he became an athlete in college music was put to the side; however, it resurfaced later on in his life as an actor. The brilliant actor has been credited for films such as Teenage Bank Heist and Walk Hard, as well as occurring roles in the highest rated drama on OWN, “The Have’s and Have Nots”. Today Faucette continues to be blessed as his gift and talents opens up doors to his future. Here is what Patrick Faucette had to share during a recent interview with Consciousness Magazine. Aaron Robinson: How did you land the role in the new sitcom “The Have’s and Have Nots”?
As a leader, Hussain Najadi is no stranger when it comes to overcoming life’s adversities. Seeking the important things in life, the Bahrain native endured many tasks in his home country in which he was ejected as a teenager. He holds his roots closely to his heart, being a spiritual vessel to those who are going through struggles and hardships in their life.
Today, Najadi is the founder, chairman and CEO of AIAK Group, who is responsible for founding the fifth largest bank in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, called AmBank. He became the leader in the wholesale and corporate banking in Southeast Asia, creating the Arab-Malaysian Development Bank, linking business between the Middle East, Southeast and Europe.

Roy Samples was 4 years old when his big brother went to OCS at Fort Benning. He was in the second grade when the Army brought him and his parents back from Germany to bury George in the Main Post Cemetery.
“I hardly remember him,” Roy said.
He remembers that Tom Sellers, a columnist for the Columbus Ledger, wrote a column about him, remembering that George had once been his neighbor and his paperboy.
Sellers didn’t provide meaningful answers, but he did say some nice things about the Baker High School graduate.
The only thing the family was ever told was that Lt. Samples was in Santo Domingo, the capital city of the Dominican Republican. It was known as a hotbed of shortstops, not war, so why was he there?
The only thing the Army said was that he was sent there as a military adviser. They wouldn’t talk about what he was doing only that he was killed when his jeep was ambushed.
He died in action but he never received a Purple Heart or any kind of commendation. “Nobody ever explained why he was attacked,” Roy said.
Now it’s 2016 and all of a sudden his family is informed that this forgotten young lieutenant is being honored at an Army base in Maryland. “It’s only been 51 years,” his brother said.
Why now, the family asks. But as you might guess, no one has answered them. Roy can’t attend the ceremony but his sister in Virginia can and so can another brother and a nephew.
Maybe they’ll get some answers this week. Maybe not. But at least someone finally remembers Lt. George Samples.

The Interagency Collaborative Animal Research Education (ICARE) Academies use active learning and backward design to train IACUC members, staff, and institutional animal program personnel to meet their responsibilities for animal welfare oversight. Attendees will work in both large interactive sessions and small facilitated breakout groups. In all of the sessions, attendees will engage in learning activities such as interactive presentations, group work, and discussions.
Our phone numbers and email addresses remain the same. For more information, see Contact Us.
Does your IACUC know what to look for during a facility inspection and which facilities they need to inspect? Are they able to assess animal welfare issues and health concerns? In this webinar, Dawn O’Connor and William Greer from the University of Michigan will share their experiences on how to perform effective, efficient, and compliant facility inspections.
The OLAW Online Seminars program is a free webinar series to help IACUCs and IOs explore their responsibilities in the oversight of PHS-funded research that involves the use of live vertebrate animals. A one-time enrollment is required to participate in the program. Enrollees receive registration information prior to each event. Find out how to enroll at https://olaw.nih.gov/education/online-seminars.htm. For recordings of past webinars, visit the Webinars and Podcasts resource webpage.
Read how IACUCs can help enhance research rigor and reproducibility in the March 2018 issue of JAALAS. In this article, the authors explore the contributions of the various IACUC members and discuss how each can help to enhance rigor and mitigate issues regarding irreproducibility in biomedical research involving animals.

John Adams ran in the first presidential election ever held in the United States of America. Receiving the second highest number of votes, he was elected the first ever Vice-President of the United States to President George Washington. In 1796, Adams ran against Thomas Jefferson for the presidency. Adams won the election by a narrow margin, becoming the second president of the United States.
Print out our John Adams coloring page.
John Adams was the first person to propose a military academy in the United States.
West Point was created after the war and he can be thought of as the “Father of the U.S. Military Academy”.
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson had a rocky relationship.
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were friends and then became fierce rivals (even running against one another for president) – until they began to write each other letters and became friends again later in life. They were the only 2 signers of the Declaration of Independence who later became president. They both died on the same day – July 4, 1826 – exactly 50 years after they signed the Declaration.
John Adams had a lot of “firsts”.
He was the first of twenty-three (and counting) former lawyers to become president, the first (and counting) of seven Harvard graduates to become president, and was, of course, the first Vice-President. He was also the longest living president in U.S. history (age 90) until Ronald Reagan (age 93).

CM Magazine: Kings and Carpenters.
Kings and Carpenters: One Hundred Bible Land Jobs You Might Have Praised or Panned. (Jobs in History).
Laurie Coulter. Illustrated by Martha Newbigging.
ISBN 978-1-55451-226-3 (pbk.), ISBN 978-1-55451-227-0 (hc.).
Unlike people of the future, you don’t waste animal waste. To make fuel for your family’s bread oven, or tabun, you mix farm animal dung with straw, shape the mixture into flat cakes, and dry the cakes in the sun. Don’t worry: not even the smoke from the fuel comes into contact with the bread. When the fuel is dry, you pile it against the outside wall of the pottery oven. Once your grandmother lights the dung, the pebble floor inside the oven will glow hot enough to bake the bread dough that’s been placed on top of it.
Kings and Carpenters is the fifth book in the “Jobs in History” series produced by Annick Press. Author Laurie Colter has written three of the five titles and has once again hit the mark with this entertaining, humorous yet informative look at life in “Old Testament” times. The book describes in some detail the work that both the aristocracy and commoners performed. The occupations in this diverse social system run the gamut from king to date picker, from city governor to pirate.
The 100 careers featured here are divided into eleven categories. Students will be drawn (as I was) to explore such intriguing chapters as Fiery Jobs and Spicy, Scented Jobs. Readers will discover that several of the jobs described here are forerunners of work done today. Olive oil makers, inventory clerks and yogurt makers may still be found, but beetle carvers, necromancers and charioteers may be a little harder to find.
The material is very well presented. The book begins with an extensive table of contents followed by a full introduction to Bible times. Information on geography and history, a time-line and maps will ignite student interest. A brief mention of writing forms is particularly intriguing as is the examination of work done by archeologists in the past and in the present. Concluding the job section is a short summary of the Bible lands today and the struggles of those living there. Recommended further reading and a full index complete the 96 paged volume.
The illustrations by Martha Newbigging add life and color to the brief, witty descriptions. The cartoon-like presentation complements the tongue-in-cheek humour of the author’s text. Newbigging has illustrated all five of the “Jobs in History” series confirming the success of her work.
Having reviewed Kings and Carpenters, I am now excited to add the other titles in the series to our library. I know my students will borrow the books again and again.

Kristin Cashore, who is one of my all-time favourite writers (check out her books, Graceling, Fire and Bitterblue, and you will be blown away by her beautiful, lyrical, and incredibly well thought out writing, not to mention her amazing characters) has written about her writing process on her blog.
“I sit in an armchair.
“I spend a lot of time staring into space.
“I walk from the living room to the bedroom in search of something specific and by the time I get there I’ve forgotten what I was looking for.
I laughed when I read that. Mainly because I do the same myself.
I can’t claim to have written anything as awesome as what Kristin Cashore has written (and published. Oh, oh, to be published one day!!!). But sometimes I spend a lot of time just lying in my bed or walking around the house, thinking out plot lines, characters, world-building, or just trying to figure out what’s going to come next in the story, how I was going to get my characters out of whatever tangle they’re in right now.
A lot of the time, I start researching something or other on the Internet and I get caught up. I get distracted by yet more interesting things, start clicking on more web pages, and before you know it, two or three hours have gone by and I haven’t written a word.
And I feel guilty. Because I feel I really should be spending this precious time writing. Writing! Getting things down on paper (or, in my case, on the Microsoft Word Document).
But you can’t rush the writing process. Sometimes you have to think things out in your head. And research is always great for writing – lots of research. Research well and write well – or even just research to broaden your mind, your general knowledge, and your perspective of life. Read books, read blogs and websites, read Wikipedia! Watch movies, go out and talk to people, visit museums and galleries, go to concerts. Draw inspiration from the world around you and channel that into your writing – and for that, your writing will be so much richer and more authentic.
Don’t be afraid of doing nothing for a little while (if you’re doing nothing all the time, however, then that’s when alarm bells should start to ring). Sometimes, some of my best ideas come when I’m lying in bed, one arm over my eyes, just thinking. Then I fall asleep and have really awesome, action-movie-style dreams which often help me with my ideas about the plot for my story. And I wake up three or four hours later to find that I’ve fallen asleep with the lights on, my laptop in sleep mode and my make up still on. Bleeeurgh.

text: George Ievers was reputedly the owner of a 250-300 acre dairy farm in Patrick’s Well, Co. Limerick, called Richmond Park Villa, where they kept approximately 50 cows. During the Great War, the farm prospered as cattle prices rose. However, things went downhill when George suspected one of his employees of theft and sought to dismiss him. The employee denied the charge and was supported by the rest of the farm workers and herdsmen who ultimately boycotted the boss. George Ievers responded in dramatic fashion by selling the farm and moving to Avonmore, Co. Wicklow, shortly after the birth of his daughter Phoebe in 1920.

A bilingual dream five years in the making is about to become reality for Global Ambassadors Language Academy (GALA) founding director Meran Rogers.
Rogers’s new foreign language immersion school will open its doors on August 3, welcoming approximately 100 kindergarten and first-grade students to the former St. Vincent de Paul parish at 13400 Lorain Avenue. For its first iteration, the school will occupy only the ground and first floors of the 30,000-square-foot facility. Administrators expect classes to expand to the building’s second floor in coming years as GALA adds additional grade levels, up to eighth grade.
Fresh Water first reported on plans for the tuition-free, public charter school in October 2014. The effort has come a long way since then and the school has been hosting monthly open houses since February to show off its new digs and champion an educational model based around Spanish and Mandarin programming. This month’s open house events are scheduled for Thursday, June 9 at 5 p.m., and Saturday, June 11, at 10 a.m.

After his victory at Fisher's Hill, US Major General Philip Sheridan pursued General Jubal Early's army up the Shenandoah Valley to near Staunton.
On October 6, Sheridan began withdrawing, as his cavalry burned everything that could be deemed of military significance, including barns and mills. Reinforced by General Kershaw's division, Early followed.
Major General Thomas Rosser arrived from Petersburg to take command of Fitz Lee's cavalry division and harassed the retreating Federals.
On October 9, Torbert's troopers turned on their pursuers, routing the divisions of Rosser and Lomax at Tom's Brook.
With this victory, the Union cavalry attained overwhelming superiority in the Valley.
