The future is digital. In aviation research, this is especially true for the aircraft cabin. Technological innovations and digitization will ensure a smooth and seamless passenger experience in the future: from in-flight entertainment to mood lighting in the cabin. To this end, engineers in the InDiKa department, which stands for Intelligent Digital Cabin, are constantly developing communication technologies and innovative systems.
Within ZAL GmbH, a research team is working at the forefront of digital cabin technology. It implements projects on use cases within the cabin, such as innovative cabin lighting, cameras in combination with AI or novel sensor technology. This is done based on embedded and distributed systems, wireless and wired communication networks, and new technologies for sensors and actuators. In this context, the in-house development of embedded hardware and software is essential, which ZAL GmbH also offers to customers as a highly flexible and individualized service.
The cabin network in aircraft supplies all functions in the cabin. This includes reading lights, air conditioning, loudspeakers, monitors, crew interphone, and much more. Current cabin networks consist of numerous devices, often interconnected via various proprietary communication links. It is envisioned that future cabin networks will be unified into “all IP” solutions based on Ethernet connections. All devices within the network, from the backbone to the end devices, will be able to communicate via standardized protocols based on the Internet Protocol (IP). This means that in the future, all communication in the cabin will be handled via an IP-based network.
The intelligent digital cabin is a conglomerate of individual solutions that are interlinked. One of these is the ZAL Endpoint, a versatile next-generation aircraft cabin terminal. The Endpoint combines several sub-technologies:
One of these technologies is single-pair Ethernet (SPE). With its reduced cabling complexity, SPE is a promising candidate for connecting endpoints to a multi-gigabit backbone in the cabin. SPE requires only two cable cores: a twisted pair, for speeds up to 1 Gbps. By comparison, conventional Ethernet, as we know it from home, requires eight cable cores, i.e. four twisted pairs. In aircraft, SPE can thus save costs because the cables are lighter, less complex, and easier to produce. In various projects, ZAL and its partners are testing SPE for use in aircraft. The InDiKa team has also already used it successfully in customer-specific hardware developments.
Another technology is the so-called Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN). TSN is a collection of industry standards that extends conventional Ethernet with various methods and protocols. The aim here is to guarantee low delays and high reliability, even when the network load is high, e.g. due to in-flight entertainment. For the cabin, TSN enables a shared network. One example is the Passenger Announcement System, which must maintain a certain maximum delay to ensure lip and speaker synchronization for speech intelligibility. Prioritization of the associated traffic makes this possible. ZAL GmbH tests and evaluates TSN in many projects and advises partners on the sub-standards relevant for their use case and a suitable network configuration.
To run the ZAL Endpoint, the experts use the Zephyr OS open-source real-time operating system designed for embedded systems. They use the system, which the Linux Foundation supports, as a universal platform across projects. The team can thus reuse source codes in a hardware-independent manner and benefit from cross-project development efforts. Based on Zephyr OS, ZAL engineers develop both application-specific applications and hardware-related drivers for customers.
The ZAL Endpoint is versatile hardware for use cases inside the cabin. The board with a standard connector is a platform for research and development, which combines the mentioned technologies for the first time in a prototype. The Endpoint already has single-pair Ethernet, an up-to-date microcontroller, and a power supply based on 28VDC as it is present in the cabin. On the software side, the endpoint can be used with Zephyr OS and integrates into a TSN-enabled network. Expansion boards can be used via a mikroBUSTM header and extra connectors, depending on the application. The endpoint can thus be used as a single element, but can also be expanded as needed. It significantly shortens development times for future cabin applications.


Thanks to an alert reader, Campaign Desk pulled up the transcripts from National Public Radio’s Wednesday morning coverage of the New Hampshire primary. There we found two bloopers.
Bob Edwards, the host of Morning Edition, asked Juan Williams, a regular NPR political correspondent, what he thinks Dean’s prospects are after losing in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Williams responded, “There’s just no history of anyone losing both the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary and then going on to win the nomination.”
Earlier in the day, Williams had gotten his facts right when he cited polling data that showed Howard Dean winning the vote among young voters between the ages of 18-29. Unfortunately, later that same morning, NPR’s Mara Liasson contradicted Williams when she reported that John Kerry “won among young voters.” He didn’t. He finished a close second to Dean with that particular demographic, losing by just one percentage point.
We don’t ask for a lot here at CampaignDesk. But we do expect our national news outlets to know their way around a few facts — like who won what, and when.

Legal and Policy Infrastructures of Returns in Germany
Country Dossier (WP2)
- Migration and Forced Displacement
This report focuses on the legislative and institutional frameworks, as well as the procedural infrastructure related to the return of rejected asylum seekers and other unauthorised migrants from Germany between 2015 and 2023. The analysis shows that the political rhetoric of ‘closing the deportation gap’ and improving returns through increased effectiveness has had important policy consequences since 2015 and has continued under the current coalition government formed in 2021. The so-called return offensive rhetoric has been translated into legal provisions to increase the number and effectiveness of returns as well as a growing emphasis on finalising international migration ‘partnership’ agreements. Beyond politics of return, the field of return governance in Germany is very dynamic and, at the same time, reveals structural deficiencies, operational shortcomings, heterogeneous practices and internal contradictions. There are clear gaps in at least six areas, including legislative structure, institutional framework, international cooperation, data collection/sharing, implementation and political communication.

During her tours, she always give visitors time to engage with the surface of a canvas, before offering historical or descriptive information.
Seeing a painting
in person is a privileged experience that cannot be replaced even by the highest quality reproduction. She enjoys asking “What do you see?”. First, because people realize what a challenging exercise it is to translate the purely visual into words. Secondly, each person’s experience of viewing is unique, and ultimately makes her see anew. Discussing art allows us to continually learn from each other.

Even though Pluto was demoted from its former full planet status in 2006, it appears that the dwarf planet is still in a pretty good mood and also appears to be in love. NASA’s spacecraft called New Horizons is currently closing in on Pluto and an image taken by it shows that the surface of the small planet has a heart on it.
The heart shaped area on Pluto is around 1,200 miles across and its material which is of lighter color is quite in contrast with other dark spots that are similar in size and were spotted in images taken prior to this one. The image was shot on Tuesday from a 5 million miles distance. NASA’s probe is currently moving in even closer to the dwarf planet and will soon be able to send higher quality pictures back containing this interesting feature on the surface of Pluto.
Jeff Moore from NASA said that the next time they will be able to spot this part of the planet, this region will be captured at a quality of around 500 times better than the one they have at the moment. He also said that this will be incredible.
Other than the lighter colored heart, there is another darker area in the picture in the lower half which is known as “the whale”.
The New Horizons spacecraft was sent out in 2006 in a mission to analyze the planet and ever since then the probe has been constantly sending back images which are increasingly clearer as it’s approaching its target. NASA said that they’ve gone from incredibly blurry pictures to images showing identifiable features on the landscape. And “the heart” is probably one of the best examples of said clearer pictures.
NASA announced earlier this week that New Horizon is facing some technical issues which came as a scare to space fans. The spacecraft couldn’t get in contact with mission control for more than an hour and it eventually ended up switching to a computer used as backup.
Fortunately the spacecraft recover from the hiccup and is currently on track to finish its mission as it was intended to. NASA said that the spacecraft is officially back on track and is expected to complete the mission. This image with the heart spotted on Pluto is the first one received by mission control on Earth after the technical difficulty occurred.

Orange Peel : I got no time (single)
(Admiral - 1969)
Category : overlooked
This a very obscure German band. As far as I could find out they only released one album and this two track single. The only noteworthy thing about this band is the fact that their drummer, who was 17 at the time, was Curt Cress, who would later resurface in the Krautband Triumvirat (among many others) and who became a session musician with some standing in Germany.
I've read a review somewhere that said their album was Progressive Rock. I can't tell, as I have never heard it. But I can tell you about this single.
'Searching for a place to hide' didn't really catch my attention (hence the "low" 3,5 star rating), but 'I got no time' is an absolute killer that you can listen to over and over. It's essentially a classic Funk Rock song, that's driven by a very fat bass line that's mixed in front of the guitar. The feel is similar to vintage Grand Funk Railroad but with a groove that's fatter than a hippo's ass. You have to hear it to believe it.
It's a pity nothing ever came of this band because they certainly had the talent.

Justice has published the report of Working Party - Prosecuting Sexual Offences
"Recent years have seen a surge in sexual offence allegations. The
uncovering of non-recent crimes, a rise in reporting, shifting cultural
attitudes and the internet have all contributed to a large increase of
cases entering the criminal justice system. In turn, this increase has

offences. The report calls for important reforms to protect complainants
and vulnerable individuals and recommends stronger obligations on
internet companies to safeguard children and stop online sexual offences
from taking place."
The nature and scale of the offences reported has meant that
ever-increasing resources are needed to investigate and prosecute.
Widely publicised incidents of cases collapsing due to non-disclosure of
unused material exemplify the difficulties being caused. The Working
Party considered how sexual offences might be prosecuted more
effectively and justly in these difficult circumstances and how to
protect the rights of complainants and vulnerable people.
An approach that understands what causes sexual offending and seeks
to address this through efforts that prevent crime, use alternatives to
prosecution and reduce reoffending, is key. For the many prosecutions
that must proceed, strategies to cope with mass data, improved treatment
of complainants and vulnerable witnesses and better communication
between police, CPS and defence lawyers are required. Through a holistic
response to sexual offence allegations, the Working Party considers
that the burden these offences place on the criminal justice system will
It is reported that the Crown Prosecution Service could be about to face a judicial review over allegedly covert policy
changes that are blamed for a dramatic collapse in the number of rape
cases going to court - The Guardian 10 June 2019. Fewer than 4% of women who report attacks can now expect their
complaint to reach trial, according to a coalition of women’s
organisations who accuse the CPS of “second-guessing jury prejudices”.
While the number of rapes reported to the police nearly tripled
between 2014 and 2018, the End Violence Against Women Coalition (EVAW)
points out that the number of cases charged and sent to court fell by
The problem was revealed last year in the Guardian, which reported that CPS leaders were encouraging prosecutors to drop what they termed “weak” cases.
The CPS has published a response - How we prosecute rape cases - in which the CPS notes that
"Sexual offences are some of the most complex cases we prosecute and we
train our prosecutors to understand victim vulnerabilities and the
impact of rape, as well as consent, myths and stereotypes.
Decisions whether or not to prosecute are based on whether our legal
tests are met - no other reason - and we always seek to prosecute where
there is sufficient evidence to do so.
We understand that the falling charge rates for rape is a cause of
concern. However, it is not indicative of a change of approach or lack
of commitment to prosecute by the CPS.
There has been no change of approach ....."
Nevertheless, the CPS also comments that there has been a "fall in referrals from the police and an increase
in cases where the CPS has given the police early investigative advice
and where we have asked for further work to be done.
We have also seen an increase in the volume of digital data and the
analysis of evidence gathered by following reasonable lines of enquiry."

Eruption on Reykjanes Peninsula poses no immediate danger to people, authorities say,
a volcanic eruption began in Southwestern Iceland near the capital Reykjavik following thousands of small earthquakes in the area in recent weeks, the country’s meteorological office said, a volcano that has been dormant for 900 years erupted near Iceland’s capital of Reykjavik on Friday.
The eruption occurred near Fagradalsfjall, a mountain on the Reykjanes Peninsula, around 30km (19 miles) southwest of the capital, shooting lava high into the night sky after thousands of small earthquakes in recent weeks.
Some four hours after the initial eruption – the first on the peninsula since the 12th century – lava covered about one square kilometre or nearly 200 football fields.More than 40,000 earthquakes have occurred on the peninsula in the past four weeks, a huge jump from the 1,000 to 3,000 earthquakes registered each year since 2014.
Residents in the town of Thorlakshofn, east of the eruption site, were told to stay indoors to avoid exposure to volcanic gases, Iceland’s Department of Civil Protection and Emergency Management said.The source of the eruption is a large body of molten rock, known as magma, which has pushed its way to the surface over the past weeks, instigating the earthquake.

The Eltingville Club #1
(Dark Horse – writer: Evan Dorkin; art: Evan Dorkin)
I love comics. I’ve loved them since before I could read. I love them so much that sometimes things happen in the comics community that make my blood boil. It boils so badly that I threaten to quit comics altogether. The misogyny, the racism and the bullshit elitism that plague our community sometimes feels like it’s too much, like it’s ruining this medium. It’s not, though. There is more love in comics than there is hate and I think it’s safe to say Evan Dorkin feels the same way. The Eltingville Club #1 is the work of an angry comics lover, and it is exactly the comic we need right now.
The Eltingville Club has been Evan Dorkin’s riff on the worst parts of fandom: the elitism, sexism and devotion to hairsplitting that plagues geek culture all too often. The strip has been around, in some form or another, for 20 years, but now Bill, Josh, Jerry and Pete are on a collision course with Karma. The Eltingville Club #1 is the beginning of the end for the Eltingville Comic Book, Science-Fiction, Fantasy, Horror and Role-Playing Club. It’s a funny read until it gets dark.
The Eltingville Club #1 begins with Bill Dickey’s first day as an employee at the local comic shop, Joe’s Fantasy World. He hopes to have his own shop one day and in his mind, this is the beginning of his dream. Joe’s is a dungeon. If the Eltingville Club represents the worst side of fans, Joe and his shop are the bleakest stereotype of comic book stores. The shop is a mess, Joe and his customers are insanely sexist, belligerent to new customers and they despise anything not published by “the big two.” It’s the worst! Joe’s Fantasy World reminds me of some of the worst shops I’ve ever been in. So Bill, terrible fan that he is, is right at home. He believes himself to be intellectually superior to pretty much everyone on Earth, so it’s no surprise that when Joe has to leave the store and leaves Bill “in charge,” Bill becomes drunk with power.
No one could skewer this side of our community as much as Dorkin does without loving the medium, its history and yes, even the fans. The first page is an homage to Fantastic Four #51, “This Man… This Monster” for Pete’s sake! Every single panel of this comic is packed with nods to geek culture. It’s equal parts love and scorn. But man, Evan Dorkin is angry, and he channels that anger into some great storytelling. There is a scene where someone gets hit in the face with a stuffed Doctor Who Adipose doll and another where Pete goes to battle armed with Hellboy’s Right Hand of Doom and Captain America’s shield, while Bill swings a replica of Thor’s hammer screaming, “Have at thee, motherfucker!” This comic is a hoot until the end. And even then, Dorkin bookends it with a pretty funny Fantastic Four joke before he gets to the poignant epilogue.
The Eltingville Club #1 features these characters at their absolute worst, so it makes the ending’s somber tone all the more unnerving. The issue isn’t just concerned with setting up the end, it’s also giving readers some background into these characters’ home lives and even shows the formation of the club. It works really well as a standalone tale. Every mean thing you need to know about these characters is on full display, but filled with Dorkin’s trademark wit and (begrudging) love. If you love comics, just go and buy this, OK?
(Marvel – writer: W. Haden Blackman; art: Michael Del Mundo)
Elektra #1 begins with a woman talking about her mother. It’s not every day that happens in comic books. In just a few lines we find out that Elektra’s mother is long dead (which does happen every day in comic books, or at least it feels that way sometimes), but Elektra’s musings on her family help set a reflective, even intimate tone for the book.
It’s just the kind of intro needed when an old character gets a new book (and hopefully a new audience with it). I went into Elektra #1 knowing very little about the character, but these opening pages served as a refresher on the character’s long history while also establishing that the book entails a new stage in Elektra’s life.
Writer W. Haden Blackman previously worked on the Batwoman title for DC Comics, and the similarities between that book and Elektra run far deeper than lady protagonists with red hair. Even the art by Michael Del Mundo resembles J. H. Williams’ work on Batwoman. Solid ink lines are usually the bread and butter of comic book art, but Del Mundo largely eschews them in favor of a painted, almost watercolored look. It’s nothing like the minimalist – but equally gorgeous – art that graces the book’s cover.
Even panel borders occur only rarely; instead, most of the pages carve up moments of time via semi-diegetic borders like gnarled tree roots or pages on a desk. The book’s opening pages depict one Elektra next to the other in a sort of tableau of her life, as the ribbons of her costume, in a beautiful approximations of panel borders, twirl around her body.
These introductory pages were my favorite part of Elektra #1. Thereafter, Elektra goes to visit the Matchmaker, a woman who looks like she walked right out of a 1920s speakeasy. Her appearance was a bit jarring at first, but I quickly started to like it; the unique style makes the Matchmaker instantly memorable and keeps with the book’s stylized art. The Matchmaker doesn’t set up couples; she matches assassins to contracts, and she’s got a job she’s been saving for Elektra: bring down the former assassin called Cape Crow.
That’s where the book takes a turn for the weird. We suddenly switch to a guy wearing a lion’s head for a helmet who delivers an enigmatic monologue about a woman named Coreen and the desire to find a place where they could “die alive.” The lion guy breaks into a S.H.I.E.L.D.-guarded temple, where he finds the assassin Bullseye lying in a coffin-like pod, wrapped in mummy-like bandages but apparently perfectly alive. Lion guy says he’s after Cape Crow, too, but before he can get him he needs to “take a bite” of Bullseye.
The past two pages depict Elektra skydiving onto a place called “Monster Island,” which is probably where lion guy is as well. A collision is clearly imminent. Except that I’m not sure I care yet. As far as I can tell, Elektra took this job because being an assassin is her primary form of self-identity. This job is like the antihero version of “finding yourself.” She has no personal stake in finding Cape Crow that we know of. This lion guy, however, seems to have a very personal stake, as well as an interesting backstory mired in mysticism.
His pages remind me of Batwoman #21, which was told from the point of view of Killer Croc. But while that issue benefitted from following several issues that gradually introduced Croc’s origins and motivations, Elektra’s lion guy is just immediately inscrutable. What’s more, he’s inscrutable for a while – he gets eight out of the book’s 20 pages, yet gives readers very little actual information. It’s just the sort of vague weightiness that was, at times, Batwoman‘s greatest flaw.
Making a first issue of anything is no easy task, and though Elektra #1 stumbles in its second half it still manages to impress with its gorgeous art and unique atmospheric mood.

Disputable Ghanaian marriage mentor, George Lutterodt has underscored that God isn’t against pre – conjugal sex.
As indicated by him, sex before marriage doesn’t outrage God but instead gives Him Glory.
The questionable speaker in a meeting on Happy 98.9FM said “It’s anything but a wrongdoing to have intercourse before marriage. There is no place in the Bible where sex before marriage is depicted as a wrongdoing”.
Counselor Lutterodt accepts, “sex is love” however the vast majority have been deluded by ministers to consider it to be off-base.
As far as he is concerned, a great many people succumb to this falsehood since they need information and don’t actually read the Bible. “Such individuals don’t comprehend what the expression of God says about sex”.
He added, “there isn’t anything scriptural about being abstinent so the Roman brothers and sisters who are as yet chaste will go to hell since they have dismissed sex”.
He encouraged Pastors to quit linking sex with satanic assaults in light of the fact that both share nothing practically speaking.
The Counselor welcomed all to his yearly gathering which he calls the “Climax Conference” occurring on the 25th of December at Byse hold up opposite the Junction Mall, Nungua.
“The current year’s subject is overseeing genital clash and it vows to be fun and educative like it has consistently been. Everybody should make it a point to come and learn” he said.


City's Tevez fight
CITY are to ask Argentina to excuse Carlos Tevez from international duty next week as they battle to get him fit for the big kick-off. The £25m new boy is expected to start training with his new team-mates for the first time today after aggravating a heel injury during the pre- season trip to South Africa.
The £25m new boy is expected to start training with his new team-mates for the first time today after aggravating a heel injury during the pre- season trip to South Africa.
He will miss tonight's game at Rangers and is a doubt for Saturday's only home friendly, against Celtic.
But Tevez has been called into the Argentina squad for their friendly with Russia in Moscow next Wednesday - and their team doctor has told Maradona that he should be fit to play.
But Hughes will argue that Tevez would be better remaining in Manchester for a final week of training ahead of the Premier League opener at Blackburn a week on Saturday - and that it would also suit Argentina, who have a crunch World Cup qualifier against Brazil on September 5.
Tevez slipped in the shower while in South Africa, aggravating the injury which he picked up playing for Argentina at the end of last season.
Said Hughes: "His weight-bearing on his heel is up to 60 to 70 per cent and he should come through OK but he won't be involved against Rangers.
"He had an injury in his last international for Argentina and then he banged the same area when he slipped in the shower in South Africa and hit his heel quite hard."
But Hughes has no doubts Tevez, unlike Roque Santa Cruz, will be ready for the game at Blackburn. "He will be fine for the start of the season, we are not too worried about that," said the manager.
"We would have preferred him to have a couple of games pre-season just to get to know the group of players he will be working with.
"That hasn't happened yet because we thought it would benefit him more to stay behind.
"Everyone has an international next week but we don't think he is ready to play for his international side so we would prefer him to stay back.
"Celtic could be a little bit too soon for him as he has only had one training session before this week.
"Their doctor came over last week to have a look at him and I will be speaking to Diego Maradona, who just wants to check how he is."
Gareth Barry is expected to return at Ibrox tonight while Kolo Toure will also be available after being taken off during Saturday's friendly at Barnsley with a bout of cramp.
Nedum Onuoha and Nigel de Jong have also been treated for minor problems and should be fit.
CITY will tomorrow appoint four captains - just for the day.
The Blues are throwing open the doors to the City of Manchester Stadium (2pm) for a special "Open House" event to allow fans to see the stars in action - in a specially-devised fun training session.
The squad will be split into four teams - captained by Gareth Barry, Kolo Toure, Emmanuel Adebayor and Stuart Taylor - in fun, competitive training routines.
The players will not be available for autographs or photographs.

The purpose of our study was to develop new delivery systems for drugs effective against breast cancer by using biodegradable and biocompatible capsules. Redox-active microcapsules based on thiolated polymethacrylic acid (PMA) were employed. The interaction of these PMASH capsules with breast cancer cells and the mechanism of their internalization was investigated. PMASH biocompatibility was evaluated by MTT assay. To analyze their potential as drug carrier, we incorporated doxorubicin into the capsules. Confocal microscopy observations showed the presence of capsules inside the cells. Although some drug molecules still appeared co-localized with PMASH capsules, strong doxorubicin fluorescence was observed both in the cytoplasm and nucleus, indicating the disassembling of the capsule into PMASH-drug conjugate after internalization. These results were confirmed by both flow cytometry (time course of capsule uptake) and scanning electron microscopy. PMASH capsules were also internalized in 3D cell structures (spheroids) suggesting their potential use as drug delivery system for treatment of human diseases.

Located directly across the street from St. Joseph’s Catholic Cemetery on South Street, is Old Norbourne Cemetery. It’s the oldest cemetery in the city of Martinsburg and belongs to Trinity Episcopal Church, which was part of Norbourne Parish. West Virginia, as we know it today, was part of Virginia prior to the Civil War. Virginia was one of the thirteen colonies and was under English rule. The dominant religious influence prior to the American Revolution was the Anglican Church, the Church of England. By an Act of Assembly, in the year 1769, Norbourne Parish and Berkeley County were taken from Frederick County. The original parish included all the territory now embraced by the counties of Jefferson and Berkeley, and contained within the limits, probably three churches. The first Episcopal Church in the valley was built in Bunker Hill by Morgan Morgan about the year 1740. A short time before the parish was formed, a chapel was erected in Hedgesville. The other was erected in Shepherdstown and built by Van Swearingen. The original parish included these three churches. The first Episcopal Church in Martinsburg was built at about the close of the Revolution and was erected by Phillip Pendleton, Esq. The original 1779 map of the town shows the English Church, as it was also known, located at the southwest corner of Lot 108, which was part of Old Norbourne Cemetery. The land for the cemetery was donated to the Episcopal Church by General Adam Stephen and was established by law in 1778. Upon the formation of Jefferson County, the territory was cut off from Norbourne Parish. The old English Church became unsafe for use and the decision was made to tear down the old structure to build a new place of worship in 1835. A lot was donated and the present structure on West King Street was commenced in 1838 or 1839.
The parish cemetery contains the final resting places of many of the city’s ancestors, and there is at least one member of every important family from Martinsburg’s early history interred in these hallowed grounds. Military veterans from the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War, and World Wars I and II all are buried in this historic burial ground. The cemetery is surrounded by a stone wall. The monuments and tombstones of varying age and decay, some fallen, some standing, make up the landscape of the cemetery. New Norbourne Cemetery was established much later and is located behind Martinsburg High School on Queen Street. The original deed at the Berkeley County Courthouse shows that Alexander Parks deeded the property to William B. Colston, et als., Trustees of Norbourne Cemetery on March 23, 1909.
Some of the notable burials in Old Norbourne Cemetery include the Faulkner family, one of the most prominent and important families in the history of Martinsburg. Elisha Boyd, who built the magnificent Boydville mansion in 1812, is laid to rest here. He was a general in the War of 1812, lawyer, judge, member of the Virginia House of Delegates and the Berkeley County attorney for the state. Charles James Faulkner was a very prestigious attorney, successful politician and a minister to France during the Buchanan administration. Charles James Faulkner, Jr. was a lawyer and a senator. Charles James Faulkner III also practiced law and became a judge. The Faulkner family has a burial plot located in the center of the back wall of the cemetery. A separate gate provides access to members of the family visiting from the Boydville estate, located on the other side of the cemetery property.
Two brothers by the names of Holmes and Tucker Conrad are buried in Old Norbourne as well. They were the sons of Holmes Conrad, Esq., an esteemed lawyer of the town. They were both killed by the same volley in the first battle of Manassas, Virginia along with a cousin, Peyton Randolph Harrison. It is said that the two brothers, sadly, died in each other’s arms. Fittingly, the brothers are buried together in the same tomb.
Edmund Pendleton Hunter also is interred in this cemetery. He was a lawyer as well as proprietor and editor of the Martinsburg Gazette, Martinsburg’s first newspaper. He replaced General Elisha Boyd as county attorney and was also elected to the Virginia House of Delegates. He was Colonel for the 67th Regiment of the Virginia Militia and rose to the highest Masonic order in Virginia. He died during a fatal Cholera epidemic in 1854.
The daughter of General Adam Stephen, Ann Stephen Hunter is also memorialized within the weather worn stone walls enclosing this hauntingly beautiful burial ground.
These are only some of the many interesting people and contributors to Martinsburg’s legacy whose final resting place is the quiet spot just a few blocks from the center of Martinsburg’s historic downtown. The monuments and the tombstones feature a vast array of intricate carvings, sculpture and Victorian symbolism. Shrouded urns, obelisks and wilted roses are just a few of the classic Victorian symbols found here. An outstanding life size angel holding a wreath was one of the most visually arresting features of the cemetery. Sadly, it was toppled over and the head removed by vandals many years ago. A tree stump, representing a life cut short, is another splendid work of art from this era at home in Old Norbourne. Our historic cemeteries are important landmarks in the town. Every stone has a story to tell, and layers of fascinating history can be discovered by educating one’s self on the lives of those that lie in the soil beneath those beautiful markers and gravestones.

NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship brings estimated 100k people to New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Jayhawk blue and Tar Heel blue are mixing in the French Quarter as NCAA men’s college basketball’s big dance comes to an end in the Big Easy. The NCAA Championship game takes place Monday night at the Superdome, bringing fans from Kansas and North Carolina to the boot.
Kansas fan David Ho spent the morning strolling the streets and repping his team after making a 13-hour drive for the Final Four.
“I love basketball. I love KU,” Ho said.
He was not too far away from Conner Leeson, a UNC senior who also wanted to see the sights ahead of Monday’s championship game.
“A lot of good memories for Carolina basketball here in New Orleans,” Leeson said.
They are both snapshots of the number of people in town for the festivities. Organizers say they expect more than 100,000 people for the game, music fest, fan fest, and more. A lot of them spent their morning ahead of the championship game at some of the more touristy spots like Cafe du Monde.
Ho says he waited 45 minutes for the famous beignets.
“Ain’t no joke,” Ho said.
City leaders predicted huge crowds months ago, as this is the first Final Four since 2019 without COVID-19 restrictions or cancellations.
It was most noticeable for those who needed last-minute tickets and hotel reservations. Leeson says he has to commute in order to get to the city.
“We couldn’t find lodging down here so we had to stay up in Baton Rouge,” he said.
The success of this weekend is giving the city hope for more frequent Final Four events hosted in New Orleans.
“We are in a bid year. We’re actually looking at things for the next round. This is kind of our dress rehearsals,” Morial Convention Center President Michael Sawaya said.
More frequent Final Fours mean more tourists and more money for local businesses.
“The business this past week has been awesome,” French Quarter artist Carrie Curtis said. “It’s an economic trickle-down that our city needs.”
Following Mardi Gras and Buku Fest, it’s a promising sight to see with Jazz Fest and other events in the near future.
“I’m glad to see the city back open and people enjoying themselves,” Omni Dulin with Morbiin Fine Art said.

Walking this way I see flowers bloom
And flowers fade away,
Dreams are about to bloom
And soon dreams disperse away,
Worldly gainings in this way come
But this way itself shall finally doom.

Yield. There are few more important concepts in investing. Because telling someone you made $1,000 on an investment is not a complete statement. If you invested $1,000 and now have $2,000, you have earned a hefty gain (or yield) as a percentage of what you invested. If on the other hand, you invested $1,000,000 to earn that $1,000, it’s a different story. Frankly, until recently that was about the annual yield one could expect from money market funds and T-Bills. But I digress.
This article is about the trends I notice in two of the most critical “yields” in investing today. After all, yield can be applied to many different aspects of investing (or farming, for that matter). In my daily investment practice, THE most important yield is that derived from dividends paid by the stocks and ETFs I own (dividend yield). For bond investors, the yield is provided by the interest they earn on their bonds, as a percentage of what they invested (cost yield), as a percentage of the current value of the bonds (current yield), or a more complex calculation of what their return on the bond will be if they hold it until it matures in the future (yield to maturity).
The biggest mistake I see investors make regarding the discussion of yield is to confuse the yield they earn from stocks. The cash they are paid by the company while they own the stock is “dividend yield,” and when and how much they are paid is no mystery: the company announces the amount and date weeks or months before it is paid, as well as the date upon which one must own the stock to qualify to receive the dividend. That part is pretty straightforward, but I constantly hear investors refer to how much “yield” they are getting when in fact that are talking about their “total return” – how much they have gained from their investment – without distinguishing between the PREDICTABLE cash flow from the dividend, and the change in the price of the security they own. That may not seem like much in a feverish bull market, but when the price gains fade, the dividend portion of the yield (assuming you are in solid companies that continue to pay a dividend) is still there.
In particular, the retired or pre-retired investor has to be conscious of this. Otherwise, they risk getting emotional when those price gains reverse. Frankly, this is what I think retirement investing is all about in the coming 5-10 years at least: deciding how you want to pay yourself in retirement. How much of your “earnings” in retirement will come from predictable sources (dividends) and how much will come from the less-predictable and currently vulnerable price gains. The good news is that you have a choice. The bad news is that many, many investors will err on the side of greed, and minimize the importance of dividend yield in favor of price appreciation.
And for bond investors, it will be much worse. After all, yields on bonds are pretty low to begin with. But more importantly, bond prices are as likely to go DOWN and not up as they have been in about 40 years. That has the potential to surprise/shock/disappoint investors, and cause retirement plans to spin out of control with emotional decisions.
THE CURRENT MARKET FOR YIELD (IN PICTURES)
I wanted you to have that background on the topic of yield before showing you the charts below. You see the historical path of both the “earnings yield” and dividend yield of the S&P 500. I reviewed dividend yield above, so let me also explain that earnings yield is simply the earnings of the collective stocks in the S&P 500 Index divided by the S&P 500’s price. It is essentially how much earnings are being produced by an investment in the S&P 500. Unlike dividend yield, that is not cash in your pocket. But it is a decent and popular valuation measure used by Wall Street analysts to assess the value of the broad stock market.
What I see in these charts is the following:
- The S&P 500 earnings yield has been falling for a while now
- Past declines that look like this one have preceded recessions and major drops in the S&P’s price
- The S&P dividend yield has also been falling. But I would quickly point out that this has more to do with the increasing dominance within that index of stocks that pay little or no yield (FAANG, etc.)
The one thing I DO know is that there are plenty of dividend yield opportunities out there for investors, retired or otherwise. But as with nearly every indicator I view and show to you these days, the message is the same: the major stock market indexes are tired and gradually phasing out of a bull market and into a period in which price gains from the “market” going up had better not be a big portion of your investment return expectations.

Music Review: Crooked Still
Yankee Plus Dec 2015
TABLE OF CONTENTS
“We call ourselves a funky string band,” says lead vocalist Aoife O’Donovan. Their bluegrass and old-time tradition tunes are ones you’ll recognize . . . but not quite. “We put a new spin on old material,” says double bassist Corey DiMario.
What makes Crooked Still a New England band?
Corey: We all met in Boston [while at the New England Conservatory, Berklee, and MIT]. The rest of the band still lives in Boston. I live in Brattleboro [Vermont] now, but I’m a Massachusetts native.
Aoife: I’m a true old New Englander. I have roots dating to the Salem witches. I’m a direct descendant of Rebecca Nurse.
What sets you apart from other bands?
Aoife: Our instrumentation. We have a cello, which not a lot of other bands have.
Corey: . . . and in not having a guitar [on most tracks]. The sound is sort of stripped down and has a lot of low end. It presents a feeling.
What’s your favorite track on your newest CD Shaken by a Low Sound (released by Whately, Massachusetts-based Signature Sounds Recordings)?
Aoife: “Come On in My Kitchen.” It captures what our band is all about. It’s so real. We’re not trying to be anything but what we are.

Crocheting with WIRE & BEADS! What a wonderful combination! I can thank my friend Glenda Logsdon for getting me started with knitting & crocheting with WIRE!
After working with 28 gauge wire, this is what I've come up with. Hope you enjoy.
Assorted hues of blue make up Ocean Waves. This was my first attempt at this new technique. Wasn't pleased with the clasp I used but have changed it on my next pieces.
Festival is a beautiful piece created with 28 gauge gold plated wire that really sets off the beads used. These colors are truly stunning crocheted with the gold colored wire. After the Festival, a siesta isn't' that far behind.
Harbor was created with some mixed beads I had on hand. Mix matched & tossed in a container with similar sizes. When I used the beads crocheted on silver colored wire, the colors made me think a peaceful harbor with seagulls flying in for a visit.
I have fallen in love creating these beautiful necklaces!
Love to hear your comments!

The summer movie season has been rougher than expected, as even proven franchises are under-performing and original hits are nearly unheard of this year. In spite of the usual predictions of another record year, studios were hopeful that the summer season would serve as a much needed stabilizing force after a tough winter and spring, but no such luck.
Domestic revenue so far is down an estimated 9.4% year over year, while ticket sales for the summer season are down 7.3% following a bad case of franchise fatigue infecting titles such as Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Men in Black: International and The Secret Life of Pets 2.
The only exception when discussing the movie business downturn is the House of Mouse’s Disney empire. The studio, which now owns Fox, currently commands 40% of domestic market share. That unprecedented dominance could only grow in the with the release of The Lion King(due out July 19) and the continued run of Toy Story 4.
The studio is also banking on guaranteed hits such as the final chapter of the Star Wars sage, and yet John Nolte of Breitbart News wrote recently:
Kathleen Kennedy, the leader behind these (Star Wars) reboots, has so alienated the fan base with her obnoxious politics, Skywalker could easily disappoint. It won’t flop. There’s no chance of that. But what should be an Avengers type of event, the final chapter of the 40 year Skywalker saga… Well, let’s just say there are a lot of angry fan boys out there ready to send a message by staying home.
Either way, what happens to Star Wars afterward with the Skywalker saga over, with no more Han, Luke, or Leia to lean on? Can a franchise driven by social justice politics as opposed to a sense of wonder and adventure survive?
Solo bombing at the box office is the most significant event to hit the movie business in decades. The surest thing in the history of sure things is no longer a sure thing.
This is part of a larger piece with Nolte discussing how poorly the year’s box office results have been, and lamenting that Disney seems to be the only studio with any legitimate success this year so far.
After a disastrous first quarter collapse of 16 percent, the second quarter’s 3.8 percent decline might come as a relief, but it was not supposed to be this way.
What’s more, only to one studio, Disney, is responsible for all five of the top five blockbusters of the second quarter: Avengers: Endgame $853 million), Captain Marvel($427 million), Toy Story 4 ($354 million), Spider-Man: Far From Home ($294 million), and Aladdin ($334 million).
After that, the closest competition is the horror film Us, which grossed $175 million, or more than a $100 million less than the lowest grossing Disney title listed above, which is Spider-Man: Far From Home, which is still in theatres making good money.
To put things in an even starker perspective, thus far, this year Disney has grossed $2.48 billion at the domestic box office. Its closest competition is Warner Bros. at $894 million.
In worse news, fewer people are going to the movies — 2.5 percent fewer in the second quarter, which is better than 15 percent attendance drop during quarter one.
Overall, combining both quarters, the domestic box office is down 9.1 percent compared to last year, down one percent compared to 2017, down two percent compared to 2017, and less than a half percent ahead of 2015.
Yep, things are bad.
Nolte goes on to list what he believes are the locked-in blockbusters still to come for 2019; Lion King, It: Chapter 2, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Frozen 2, Jumanji: The Next Level, and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Although he is quick to point out that four of those six are all Disney productions. He went on to mention a few possible blockbusters in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, Terminator: Dark Fate, Joker, and Ad Astra, depending on how audiences react to them.
Whether it’s the rising prominence of streaming services that are making movie lovers stay home, or the cost of going to the movies is still a mystery. The average cost of a movie ticket rose to $9.26 in the second quarter of 2019, up from $9.01 during the first three months of the year, according to the National Association of Theatre Owners.
Could it be simply that Hollywood isn’t coming up with any fresh, compelling, new ideas?


My primary expertise lies in the understanding of animal behavioural ecology. I am particularly interested in animal movement patterns and behaviour, and how these are linked to their habitat and environmental variability. My PhD research involved quantifying sex-specific patterns of bottlenose dolphins in regards to abundance, demographic parameters, home ranges and habitat use. I have previously worked on dugong ecology, and explored the fine-scale movements and habitat use of dugongs with respect to the tidal cycle and vessel traffic. I have also assisted projects on various dolphin and whale species (incl. sperm whales, humpback whales, Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins and spinner dolphins). Through my research, I have an interest in spatial analyses, habitat modelling and population modelling.
The primary aims of my research were to:
- Estimate sex-specific patterns in abundance, apparent survival and temporary emigration of dolphins and to investigate fluctuations in population parameters with environmental conditions;
- Investigate sex-specific differences in home range size for adult dolphins, and explore whether dolphins could be partitioned into groups based on home range size;
- Examine the influence of biotic and abiotic factors on the seasonal spatial distribution and habitat use of adult male and adult female dolphins.

Travel Broadens the Mind The world is a book and those who do not travel only read one page. These words are as true now as when they were first uttered by the philosopher Travelling has also a great informative value. It widens the grasp of our knowledge of geography, different cultures and people, etc.
For example, when people of Assam visit South India, they learn a great deal. Travelling is a time when people relax, reflect and ponder. Most people, after a pleasant travel, return home with a fresh outlook, new zeal and a better determination.
Travelling has also a great informative Opinion essay travelling widens our outlook. Travel, for those who are openminded, (sometimes travel can help people become openminded) exposes a person to ways of life and understandings of it very much different from their own.
This exposes them to new ideas, experiences, ways of seeing things, and not from one perspective, but from the 'other' side at times. Traveling increases our knowledge and widens our perspective. To view new customs, different ways of living is fantastic for the mind. It gives us a new perspective about life and especially our life, it can help us change some of our habits or even create new ones. Travel is the movement of people between relatively distant geographical locations, and can involve travel by foot, bicycle, automobile, train, boat, airplane, or other means, with or without luggage, and can be one way or round trip.
[1[2 Travel can also include relatively short stays between successive movements. Travelling is not merely going from one place to another and back. It is the journey and observations that matter. A country always thinks the other country as a bloodthirsty, war waging Spartans because of stories from ancestors.
