A new book from Guernsey resident and aid worker Diana Penn tells the inside story of the 21st century’s biggest international disasters. The past 20 years has seen conflicts and natural disasters devastate lives and landscapes across the world. The impact of these events is streamed into every home – but can the fly in/fly out reporter’s perspective capture what the recovery from these disasters really entails?
This memoire does.
Through diaries, emails and vivid, captured-moment photography, aid worker Diana Penn gives the real, on the ground story in Quake, Wave, War. From the conflict in Darfur to the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami in Indonesia, extreme poverty in Nigeria to the earthquake in Pakistan, she gives an unforgettable glimpse into the lives being lived in these places. Amongst the vast challenges are moments of joy – people going about their everyday business, children at play – that reinforce the indomitable nature of human beings.
In recent years the dreadful actions of a few have coloured many people’s perceptions of international aid. Absorbing, shocking, immediate and powerful, this book shows the extraordinary job that aid workers do and, more importantly, why that work remains so important – never more so than in the light of the government’s recent cuts to international aid.

It is a very strange painting. An innocent-looking little boy with manly features wears a night slip and shoes and stands in an abbreviated landscape, holding a bird on a string. Late afternoon light bathes the surrounding hillside, which is strangely low and wildly out of scale — the young boy towers over trees and dwarfs distant mountains. He looks like a giant.
John Brewster Jr. (1766-1854) painted “Francis O. Watts With Bird” in Kennebunk, Me., for a wealthy couple in 1805. It is typical of the portraits he was commissioned to paint across New England in the closing decade of the 18th century and early years of the 19th.
Almost 40 of those portraits are featured in “A Deaf Artist in Early America: The Worlds of John Brewster Jr.,” a new exhibition at the Florence Griswold Museum.
Traveling from the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y., the exhibition fascinates and confounds. Brewster was one of America’s most prolific early professional portrait painters, and, seen together, his works add up to a revealing — if not always flattering — assessment of his abilities.
Brewster was born deaf into a prominent family in rural Hampton, Conn., where a kindly minister taught him to paint. By the late 1790’s, he was working as an itinerant portrait painter, often benefiting from his family connections as he traveled throughout New England in search of commissions among the wealthy merchant class that arose after the Revolutionary War.Continue reading the main story
The exhibition is arranged more or less chronologically, starting with some early, somewhat stiff portraits of prominent New England businessmen, their wives and children — usually shown in full-length poses.
In keeping with portrait conventions of the time, the figures were often surrounded by symbols of prosperity and refinement, like books, writing implements or even cultivated land.
Brewster’s early, large-format portraits are influenced by the work of the Connecticut artist Ralph Earl (1751-1801), another itinerant painter. In the exhibition catalog, Paul D’Ambrosio, the show’s curator, notes correspondences in the scale, costumes, composition and setting of Brewster’s early works and the portraits by Earl, who was in turn influenced by the English “Grand Manner” style of painting.
Broadly speaking, the term “Grand Manner” refers to a bombastic, highly rhetorical style of English portrait painting in the 18th century characterized by regal poses, opulent decoration and the use of visual metaphors. Think of paintings by Sir Thomas Gainsborough or Sir Joshua Reynolds. Earl, and through him Brewster, were among the first Americans to refashion this lofty style of painting for more casual American sitters and humble New World subject matter.
One of the more touching and polished of Brewster’s full-length portraits depicts the artist’s parents, Dr. John Brewster and Ruth Avery Brewster. They are shown at home in conventional poses — she sits behind her husband, reading while he is writing. She stares directly at the viewer, though softly, even submissively, while her husband stares off into the distance as if locked in some deep thought. Their dress is refined but not opulent, their house modestly furnished.
Everything about the painting accurately reflects the propriety, learning and status of the sitters. In the exhibition catalog, we learn that Dr. Brewster, the artist’s father, was one of New England’s elite. He was descended from William Brewster, the puritan leader, and was active in the local church. He was educated as a doctor and was also a deputy to the General Assembly of Connecticut.
In the early 1800’s, Brewster developed a format of half-length portraits, which took less work, were probably more economical for his patrons and were better suited to his limited abilities.
In his paintings, Brewster always struggled with the illusion of a realistic relationship between figures and background, and the half-length portraits allowed him to avoid this problem and focus on the sitter’s face.
More than a dozen of these half-length portraits fill the second room of the exhibition, covering a period from around 1805 to 1817. They are competent but largely generic, the artist often reusing poses, costumes and settings from one picture to the next. Some of the paintings are almost identical (even the clothes and furniture are the same), with only different heads on the figures to set them apart.
It was also around 1805 that the artist developed a signature style of painting full-length portraits of children, often dressed in night clothes or skimpy garments and with soft downlike hair and big dreamy eyes. They are sweetly appealing. They are also often quite strange, for the artist’s old problems with perspective resurface, resulting in pictures in which the figures are oddly out of scale.
In addition to “Francis O. Watts With Bird,” other such images here include “One Shoe Off” (1807), “Betsey Avery Brewster” (1800), “Sophia Brewster” (circa 1800), “William Temple Cutts” (1807) and “Elizabeth Abigail Wallingsford” (1808). These paintings are the exhibition’s highlight, for in them we can discern a powerful sense of rapport with the subjects that is often lacking in his portraits of adults. Perhaps being deaf and mute, Brewster felt more comfortable around children.
From 1817 to 1820, Brewster gave up professional painting to attend the Connecticut Asylum in Hartford, the nation’s first school for the deaf. There he learned the newly developed sign language brought to America from France, where Abbé Sicard was advocating its use for teaching the deaf. Brewster was 51 years old, making him by far the oldest pupil in the school. When he returned to his itinerant painting life, he appears to have taken more care when painting the faces of his subjects, resulting in portraits that show an increased sensitivity to the character of his sitters.
The exhibition includes paintings up to the early 1830’s; after that, little of Brewster’s work is known. He basically disappeared from recorded history, according to his biographer, Harlan Lane — leaving behind a fascinating visual record of New England’s elite and emerging merchant class.Continue reading the main story

Analysis of Compounds Dissolved in Nonpolar Solvents by Electrospray Ionization on Conductive Nanomaterials
- 271 Downloads
Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) technique has limitations in analysis of compounds that are dissolved in nonpolar solvents. In this study, ambient ionization of compounds in solvents that are not “friendly” to electrospray ionization, such as n-hexane, is achieved by conductive nanomaterials spray ionization (CNMSI) on nanomaterial emitters, including carbon nanotubes paper and mesodendritic silver covered metal, which applies high voltages to emitters made of these materials without the assistance of polar solvents. Although the time intensity curves (TIC) commonly vary from 4.5% to 23.7% over analyses, protonated molecular ions were found to be the most abundant species, demonstrating good reproducibility of the technique in terms of ionized species. Higher mass spectrometric responses are observed in analyzing nonpolar systems than polar systems. 2-Methoxyacetophenone, 4-methylacetophenone, benzothiazole, quinolone, and cycloheptanone as low as 2 pg in n-hexane can be directly detected using the developed method. The developed technique expands the analysis capability of ESI-MS for direct, online analysis of nonpolar systems, such as low polarity extracts, normal phase liquid chromatography eluates, and synthetic mixtures.
KeywordsConductive nanomaterials Electrospray ionization Nonpolar solvents
As a powerful mass spectrometric technique, electrospray ionization (ESI) has been demonstrated to have significant advantages in speed and sensitivity among other chemical analysis methods, and it has been widely applied in many scientific fields to analyze a great variety of compounds. Traditionally, these compounds are dissolved in aqueous mixtures of polar organic solvents (e.g., methanol and acetonitrile) prior to ESI. However, ESI is limited to analyzing compounds dissolved in nonpolar solvents due to the solvents’ poor conductivities and low dielectric constants. As a result, the nonpolar solvents that are widely used in organic reactions, normal phase liquid chromatography (NPLC), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), sample extraction and NMR analysis, are less amenable for use in ESI-MS. To analyze nonpolar systems using ESI-MS, adding polar solvents or ionic liquids to solution was reported to facilitate ionization of dissolved species [1, 2, 3]. However, it changes the solvent system of the samples that may lead to deviations from the prior conditions.
In recent years, much effort has been made, in combination with the emergence of ambient ionization techniques, to detect chemicals in nonpolar solvents. Previous research on recently developed solvent-assisted, electrospray-based ionization methods illustrated that extractive electrospray ionization (EESI) [4, 5], solvent-assisted electrospray ionization (SAESI) , and continuous flow-extractive desorption electrospray ionization (CF-EDESI) [7, 8] could be used for the direct analysis of compounds in “non-ESI-friendly” solvents. In these ionization methods, introduction of the nonpolar system’s sample and ionization are independent processes, which prevent the sample conditions from changing. However, complicated instrument modifications or complex parameter adjustments to these methods are still required. In addition to solvent-assisted ESI, solid substrate ESI techniques such as wooden tip ESI [9, 10, 11], probe electrospray ionization (PESI) [12, 13, 14, 15, 16], and paper spray ionization (PSI) [17, 18, 19] have been extended to directly sample and ionize various types of samples. By first sampling and then subjecting samples to ESI-MS analysis with the assistance of polar solvents or polar solvent vapor would be a promising approach for these techniques to analyze analytes in nonpolar solvents. It is worth noting that among the above methods, paper substrate-based PSI is capable of directly ionizing insoluble drugs, peptides, nucleotides, and phospholipids as solids from paper wetted with nonpolar solvent . Nevertheless, according to our repeated trials, the ionization efficiency of PSI is quite limited concerning such use.
Discovered in 1991 , carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been recognized for their low weight , good heat conductance , various electronic properties that depend on their structure, and the ability to transfer charge at relatively low voltages due to their high aspect ratios and nanometer-sized tips . Recently, CNTs have mainly been used in matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) as a matrix . In addition, based on CNTs, field emission, chemical ionization (CI) , electron ionization (EI) , as well as field emission ionization  were developed. In ESI field, paper substrates are capable of generating spray ionization under an electronic potential of just a few volts after the paper is coated with CNTs . We speculate the conductive nano-structure (as that of CNTs) may play an important role in facilitating ionization, and thus may be used in ionization of “non-ESI-friendly” systems. However, the potential of using conductive nano-materials for the ionization of analytes dissolved in nonpolar solvents has not yet been investigated. After evaluating many materials in our preliminary experiments, we ultimately found that ionization efficiency of “non-ESI-friendly” systems significantly improved compared with conventional technologies when using conductive nanomaterials such as CNTs and mesodendritic silver-covered metal as ESI emitters.
In this study, we report the developed use of conductive nanomaterials spray ionization mass spectrometry (CNMSI-MS) in the analysis of analytes in nonpolar solvents. Conductive nanomaterial is first cut into a triangle, and a silica capillary connected to a syringe pump is used to supply analyte solution to the center of the triangle through contact with its surface. Analytes transport to the triangle tip via capillary action through micro-channels in the emitter substrate, and then a high electric field is applied to perform ionization. CNMSI-MS studies of compounds dissolved in solutions, such as methanol, n-hexane, and dichloromethane (CH2Cl2), were investigated. Chiral molecules separated by NPLC were also detected by CNMSI-MS without any polar assistant solvent, and intense signals of [M+H]+ ions from each racemic compound is clearly observed in positive ionization mode.
Perphenazine (1) and 5-acrylamide-1,10-phenanthroline (2) were synthesized in our laboratory and confirmed structurally using UV spectroscopy, MS, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR. The purity of each compound was verified as being higher than 98% using HPLC–UV analysis. 2-Methoxyacetophenone (3), 4-methylacetophenone (4), 1-indanone (5), acetophenone (6), 4'-dimethylaminoacetophenone (7), 5-methylindole (8), benzothiazole (9), quinolone (10), cycloheptanone (11), 2,2'-dipyridyl (12), and silver nitrate (13) were purchased from Aladdin Reagent Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China). Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were obtained from Aladdin Reagent Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China). Grade ET31 chromatography paper (0.50 mm thick) was purchased from Whatman International Ltd. (Maidstone, England). Water was prepared using a Milli-Q system (Millipore Laboratory, Bedford, MA, USA). HPLC-grade methanol, acetonitrile, ethanol, and acetone were obtained from Merck Co. (Darmstadt, Germany). n-Hexane and CH2Cl2 of analytical reagent grade were obtained from Changzheng Chemical Reagent Corp. (Chengdu, China). HPLC grade methanol was purchased from Fisher Co. (Fisher Scientific, Hampton, NH, USA). N-(2-(hydroxymethyl)-1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl)P,P-diphenylphosphinic amide raceme (14) was synthesized in our laboratory. Other reagents were of analytical grade and used without further purification.
Preparation of CNTs Sheet and Mesodendritic Silver Covered Metal
CNTs sheet (10–50 μm thick) was produced by multiple steps of tube dispersion and suspension filtration as described previously . SWCNTs were sonicated for 5 h in 5 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) to dissolve residual iron catalyst particles. Concentrated nitric acid (HNO3) was added to the acid etch and kept between 55 and 60 °C for 5 h to increase the effectiveness of the purification and populate the nanotube surface with carboxylic acid groups. The material was neutralized through a series of deionized water washes, then filtered, dried, and reground into powder. Using nanosperse AQ surfactant (Waltham, MA, USA), the purified nanotubes were suspended in deionized water and sonicated. An aliquot of the suspension was then removed and vacuum-filtered through a microporous membrane (0.45 μm) to fabricate a free-standing, round film of CNTs. Subsequent washes with deionized water and methanol were performed. After washing, the CNTs sheet was carefully peeled off from the filter membrane. Finally, the paper was dried in an oven at 30 °C for 24 h in vacuo to remove excess moisture.
Mesodendritic silver-covered zinc sheet was synthesized in the same procedure as reported in our previous work .
The study was performed on a Waters Xevo TQ mass spectrometer (Waters, Manchester, UK) equipped with an orthogonal Z-spray electrospray ionization source (ESI). For conventional ESI-MS experiments, the parameters were set as follows: 500 L/h desolvation gas flow rate; 500 °C desolvation gas temperature; 150 °C source temperature; 3 kV capillary voltage; and 30 V cone voltage. The accumulation time for the ion signal to acquire a single mass spectrum record was set to 0.2 s. Tandem mass spectra were obtained by collision-induced dissociation (CID) of selected precursor ions with argon as collision gas. For CNMSI-MS experiments, desolvation and nebulization gases were turned off. Because an external high voltage supply was used for ionization, the capillary voltage was also turned off. Other parameters were the same as those for conventional ESI-MS experiments. Data acquisition and processing were performed using Masslynx 4.1 software (Waters Corp., Milford, MA, USA). All experiments were carried out in triplicate or more in an air-conditioned room with constant temperature and humidity.
Results and Discussion
Characterization of CNTs Paper
Evaluation Experiments of Conductive Nanomaterials
A series of evaluation experiments were conducted using CNMSI-MS analysis of standard compounds dissolved in different solutions. The emitter tip-to-MS inlet distance and spray voltage were investigated.
The Practical Application of Low Polarity Compounds Analyzed by CNMSI-MS Methods
CNMSI-MS can ionize chemicals dissolved in nonpolar solvents, such as hexane, without any assistance from polar solvents. The developed ambient ionization technique expands the analytic capability of ESI-MS to the direct, online analysis of nonpolar systems, such as low polarity extracts, NPLC elutes, and synthetic mixtures. Compared with conventional PSI-MS, CNMSI-MS produces superior signals in terms of ion intensity and limit of detection, indicating the higher ionization efficiency and sensitivity of this method for analytes in nonpolar solvents. Field desorption from nano-structures within the conductive nanomaterials is presumed to be one of the key factors. Further applications of this technology are ongoing, and should broaden the analytical scope of a commercial mass spectrometer with only minor modifications.

Trib HSSN Boys Swimmer of the Week: Hempfield’s Gavin Mayo
By: HSSN Staff
Thursday, February 7, 2019 | 5:27 PM
Gavin Mayo battled through shoulder and back injuries from the summer to early November.
The treatment the Hempfield senior received began to kick in to the point he was able to train but not in the way he or his coaches would’ve liked.
“Early in the season, things weren’t clicking for him,” Hempfield coach Kevin Clougherty said.
But in the last three weeks, Clougherty said, things have started to fall into place for Mayo, last year’s WPIAL Class AAA runner-up in the boys 50-yard freestyle (20.73 seconds).
“His stroke, his turns and his footwork is cleaned up,” Clougherty said. “A couple of weeks ago, Gavin and I had some concerns on how his WPIAL and state meet were going to play out. Everything now looks pretty good. He feels he is in a place where he can be successful to finish somewhere in the top three at WPIALs and somewhere in the top six at states. He also has a chance to hit that All-American status again this year.”
After his silver medal at WPIALs in the 50 free last year, Mayo advanced to states at Bucknell University and took seventh.
He currently is ranked third in the 50 free on the WPIAL boys Class AAA performance list at WPIAL.org with a time of 21.29 recorded in a winning performance at the Westmoreland County Coaches Association championships Jan. 26 at Derry High School.
Mayo went head to head with Belle Vernon sophomore Ian Shahan in the 100 backstroke, and Shahan edged Mayo for the title by a one-half second.
His time of 52.75 places him fourth on the 100 back performance list.
Clougherty said Mayo still has a decision to make as to which individual event — the 100 free or 100 back — he will pair up with the 50 free at WPIALs.
Mayo swam the 100 free at Thursday’s dual meet with Kiski Area. Last year, he placed sixth in the 100 free at WPIALs, and he took 21st at states.
“Most likely it will be the 100 backstroke, but we’ll see how things play out with the 100 freestyle, too,” Clougherty said. “Hopefully, he will make a decision in the next week on what direction he wants to go.”

Camila Cabello has released two instant-grat tracks from her forthcoming debut solo album, Camila.
The two tracks, ‘Never Be The Same’, which is being promoted as Camila’s next single by Epic Records, and ‘Real Friends’, are available to download and stream now. Both tracks continue to showcase Camila’s versatility as an artist, as they highlight very different musical sides to her.
‘Never Be The Same’ is a powerful offering which captures your attention immediately. Camila showcases her breathy vocals as she sings that someone’s love is “just like nicotine, heroin, morphine, suddenly I’m a fiend and you’re all I need.” The chorus captures her emotion perfectly, making it a brilliant choice for her next single.
On the other hand, ‘Real Friends’ is Camila’s most stripped back offering yet. Whilst we love hearing her big instrumental sound, it’s also lovely for her vocals to be at the forefront, with just a soft guitar accompaniment. Think along the lines of Justin Bieber’s ‘Love Yourself’, but with a Camila twist.
Listen to ‘Never Be The Same’ and ‘Real Friends’ below.
Camila announced her debut solo album earlier this week via an Instagram post. Describing the album as “the soundtrack to the past year of my life”, she revealed that her self-titled offering will be released on January 12.
Whilst the tracklist remains a surprise for the time being, we know that it will feature ‘Never Be The Same’, and ‘Real Friends’, in addition to her global hit ‘Havana’, the biggest song of her career to date. Since its release, the track has surpassed 410 million Spotify streams, making Camila the fourth most streamed artist in the world. It is currently spending its fifth week at number one in the UK, making Camila the longest running female number one since Adele’s 2011 hit ‘Someone Like You’.
2017 has been a truly spectacular year for Camila. Just last week, she was named as Billboard’s 2017 Breakthrough Artist at their annual Women in Music awards. Camila has also picked up a string of other awards, including ‘Best Pop’ at the MTV EMA and Mejor artista LO+40 at the Los 40 Music Awards. In addition to her glittering music career, Camila has also ventured into the world of fashion and beauty, landing partnerships with GUESS, L’Oreal, and Skechers.
We couldn’t be more excited for Camila Cabello’s debut album – if these new tracks are anything to go by, then we’re in for an incredible treat.
Pre-order Camila now and receive ‘Never Be The Same’ and ‘Real Friends’ as instant-grat tracks.
Camila will be released on January 12, 2018.

Heat a large saucepan over a high heat. Add the oil and cook the curry paste for 2 mins, or until fragrant.
Add the stock, coconut milk, anchovy and kaffir lime and cook over a medium-low heat for 5 mins. Add the chicken and cook for 5 mins.
Add the snake beans, corn, aubergine, sugar, fish sauce and lime juice and cook for 4-5 mins. Scatter with basil leaves and chillies (I didn't add these). Serve immediately with steamed rice.

Noob here, I am trying to develop a vacuum monitor system for our plant, we have 63 Busch R5 vacuum pumps and I need to come up with a way to determine how long each pump runs (pulls a vacuum) and how much vacuum it is pulling while it is running.
Having some problem locating vacuum sensors (still learning about what exactly I need to measure) current sensing and real time clock should not be a problem
thinking about an arduino for each pump with a wifi shield to a pc which gather all the data
a prod in the right direction would be appreciated

Buying your first piece of fine art can be daunting. There is a lot of information to digest before you even start looking at the art itself.
We have compiled a list of handy tips to help you on your way.
The following tips are geared towards those who are thinking about buying their first piece of fine art as an investment as well as something to keep.
Art is not guaranteed to increase in value, but is proven to be a solid investment for wealth preservation over time. Buying art will add great value to any room and make for interesting dinner party conversations.
Art is an investment that has a record of being a good investment over time. Art appreciates in value and, more importantly, is a hedge against inflation. That makes art a great addition to any portfolio.
Taken from the following link:
There are many reasons to purchase a piece of original art. Some people find it beautiful, some find it thought provoking, and some find it an affordable way to diversify their assets.
This blog is all about the purchasing process. Here you will find tips and tricks on how to buy your first piece of fine art — whether it’s a print or a painting — as well as info on how to care for your art, and what to look out for when you buy a work of art.
This blog is intended for those who have never purchased a piece of fine art before, but would like to learn the principles behind the purchasing process. It is also intended for people who already own art, but may be looking for tips on how best to care for their works of art.*
Art is one of the best investment choices you can make in today’s uncertain economy. It’s also a great way to start investing if you’ve been unsure about how to get started in this new economy. The key to buying art as an investment is understanding what you’re buying, so that you can make the right choices when it comes time to buy your first piece of art.
Before you start to consider art as an investment, it’s important to understand the basics of collecting fine art.
As an investment, art can be a good way to diversify your portfolio. As an object of desire and enjoyment, it is a luxury that will also increase in value as time passes.
There are many ways to begin a career as an art investor. The first time I went to an auction house it was for the simple reason that I loved looking at art and wanted to have my own pieces hanging in my home. That turned out to be far more expensive than I ever imagined, but it did get me hooked and started the process of becoming a collector.
The next big step was quite by accident. I think it was because I took a financial background and understood how to look deeper into things that my interest in art really expanded. I learned how to research the artist, the materials used, and also how to read between the lines on many of these auction house flyers that attempt to convey everything you need to know about an object in one or two pages.
I began calling dealers, artists and even other collectors who would give me some tips on really understanding what I was buying.
After having invested quite heavily in art over a five year period, my $20k+ collection was stolen right out of my home when we were away on vacation with our two small children. It made me realize that there was no way for me to insure my collection or have any real protection for it if something happened. So I started researching solutions for myself and other collectors and

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl says he will be looking very closely at Fraser Forster ahead of Saturday's clash with Brentford but adds that he was impressed by Willy Caballero's performance against Crystal Palace.
The 40-year-old goalkeeper won his first point as a Saints player after their 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park, pulling off a string of fine saves along the way.
But injured Saints stopper Forster could make his return at the weekend - if he can force Caballero out of the side.
It remains to be seen whether Adam Armstrong will return in time after he missed the midweek trip to Croydon, left out alongside Jack Stephens who his manager claims was simply rested.
"Stephens is okay, that was just rotation from me," he confirmed to HampshireLive. "But for Arma, it was too early. He still has pain in his leg.
"I was happy that Broja could make it just in time. You could see how important he was for our team. We need every player at the moment. It can be that you're out of the squad at one moment and then you have to play."
When asked if Forster could return in time for Saturday, he added: "Yes, he was an opportunity but I am very happy with Willy today. He did a good job.
"That was his first point. We'll have a look at what happens on Saturday."
Hasenhuttl is expected to provide a further update on the likes of Stuart Armstrong, Che Adams and Alex McCarthy on Thursday afternoon (4pm).

Robert Dale Owen Biography, Life, Interesting Facts
Died On :
24 June 1877
Also Known For :
Birth Place :
Early Life & Family
Robert Dale Owen was born in the city of Glasgow, Scotland, on November 7, 1801. He spent most of his childhood in the town of Braxfield. His father, Robert Owen, was a wealthy textile manufacturer. His mother’s name was Ann Caroline Dale. He had three brothers, named William, Richard, and David. He had three sisters, named Ann, Jane, and Mary.
Owen began his training with private tutors. At the age of sixteen, he moved to Hofwyl, Switzerland. There, he attended the boarding school of Philipp Emanuel von Fellenberg.
Owen’s father was a socialist who advocated for utopian communities. Owen followed in his father’s footsteps. He was an advocate for women’s rights, free schooling, government assistance, and the abolition of slavery. He abandoned Christianity and converted to Spiritualism.
After his graduation, Robert Dale Owen returned to the United Kingdom. He started working in the family textile company. In 1825, he moved to the United States and became an American citizen. He went to the town of New Harmony, Indiana. His father purchased the town and tried to turn it into a socialist community. Owen helped him manage the work.
He was the co-editor of the New Harmony Gazette. After the community fell apart in 1827, he spent some time traveling in Europe. He then moved to New York City and became the co-editor of the Free Enquirer. He also became active in the Working Men’s Party.
In 1833, Owen returned to New Harmony and tried to rebuild the town. He became involved in state politics. He was elected to the Indiana House of Representatives and served two terms. He was a member of the Indiana General Assembly and took part in the Indiana Constitutional Convention. From 1843 to 1847, he was a Congressman in the U. S. House of Representatives.
He served as the head of the Roads and Canals Committee. He also helped in the founding of the Smithsonian Institution. From 1953 to 1958, he lived in Italy and served as ambassador to the Two Sicilies Kingdom in Naples. During the Civil War, he was part of the Ordnance Commission that supplied the Union army. He later joined the Freedman’s Inquiry Commission.
Robert Dale Owen published many tracts that reflected his political views. He wrote many articles for publications such as Scribner’s Monthly and the Atlantic Monthly. In 1870, he released a novel called Beyond the Breakers. In 1874, he released his autobiography, called Threading My Way: Twenty-Seven Years of Autobiography.

In 1875, Owen had a mental breakdown and was briefly hospitalized at the Indiana Hospital for the Insane. He passed away on June 24, 1877, in his summer home on Lake George, New York. His body was initially buried in Warren County, New York. His remains were later transferred to New Harmony, Indiana.
The town of Dale in Indiana was named after Robert Dale Owen in 1843. In 1911, a bronze bust of him was built on the grounds of the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis

If you haven’t seen the Chris Nolan film Inception: stop reading this right now, there are spoilers.
There are two movies, that to my mind, really define the “mind fuck” film experience: the first is The Usual Suspects. When Kevin Spacey stops dragging his foot, I was “oh my god!” The second is the Michael Douglas film The Game — what a wonderful deception.
M. Night Shyamalan is kind of notorious for this, especially with The Sixth Sense: who didn’t have their mind blown when Bruce Willis was revealed to be dead? I thought that was where it was going, but no one ever believes me.
So: out of a team of 8 people, five had seen the film Inception by yesterday afternoon, when we met for our team meeting. Unable to discuss the film in the presence of those who hadn’t seen the film, I resolved to catch a screening today. The ridiculous hot weather and early showtime at my neighborhood theater sealed the deal ($6 for a matinee? Awesome!).
Not so much.
Don’t get me wrong: it was a perfectly decent movie, about a crew of guys, led by a guy named Cobb, who break into other people’s dreams and steal their secrets. This process is called extraction. A businessman hires Cobb to do the opposite — an inception, where an idea is planted into someone’s subconsciousness. This is considerably more difficult, and the plan Cobb hits upon is a dream-upon-a-dream-upon-a-dream, which is to say, they break into the mark’s dream, then enter a dream from there, then enter another dream. It’s all very dangerous, and thrillingly set and paced, and in the end, everything is pretty much okay, except for the spinning top.
See, when extractors go to work, they carry “totems” with them so as to distinguish when they’re in reality, and when they’re lost in a dream. Cobb’s totem is a top. In the dream world, it will always spin and never fall. The movie ends with Cobb being readmitted into the United States without arrest, and reuniting with his children. The film’s final shot is of the top, spinning on a table, and goes to black just before it might fall over … or might continue spinning.
One of my coworkers described the ending as one that would be talked about for years and years. Yeah … no. Days and days maybe.
Let me be honest here: this struck me as a failed attempt at a “mind fuck” ending, except it failed. Shyamalan, for example, at least plots his films out knowing what the film’s reveal will be … but Inception’s ending feels like a cheap editing trick. Plotted from the beginning? Edited at the last minute?
There was a lot about the film I did like: although does Nolan need a character in every film named Alfred? Apparently! I particularly enjoyed seeing Cillian Murphy in his role as the billionaire mark — he auditioned for the role of Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins, and he certainly could have pulled it off.
There were some technical issues with the sound (although it could have just been the theater I saw the film at). During a few sequences (notable the assault on the snow mountain compound), I could not hear the dialogue over the score and shooting and snowmobiles. Meanwhile, with the drum themed soundtrack at the beach scene, I though, “Wasn’t this Shutter Island?”
Inception is a perfectly serviceable film. It’s a lot of fun. But Nolan has done far, far better, for example: Batman Begins. There was a mind fuck there, too: Liam Neeson was actually Ra’s Al Ghul (not Ken Watanabe).

Background Effective cardiac compressions (CC) with a full relaxation phase ensure adequate coronary artery blood flow by increasing coronary perfusion pressure (CPP). CC during neonatal resuscitations are rare thus requiring them to be practiced in simulation training. No studies have explored the efficacy of CC during preterm simulations.
Aims 1) Develop a preterm manikin simulation system for CC training
2) Define key measures of effective CC in this preterm simulation
Methods We used the Laerdel term and LifeForm preterm (~25 week gestation, 0.8kg) manikins with an in-house developed calibrated CC measurement system (accuracy ±3%). NLS trained neonatal staff randomly performed 2 finger or 2 thumb (circling) CC resuscitation simulations. Compression rate, depth (>1/3 AP diameter of chest) and release (>75% release of compression distance) were measured.
Results 30 participants each performed 8 simulations (total 23,340 CC). Median CC rate was 93/min(IQR 84–111). For both term and preterm simulations, the 2 thumb technique achieved more adequate depth CC than the 2 finger technique (P < 0.0001). Incomplete release was significantly worse in the 2 thumb group especially in the preterm simulations. With increasing CC rate, incomplete release increased significantly from 8% in the 60–84 CC/min rising to 52% in the 112–140 CC/min (P < 0.0001, see Figure).
Conclusion We have developed a useful CC preterm training simulator with important feedback measures. These simulations demonstrate the quality of CC decreases with increasing rate above NLS recommended guidelines. In clinical practice, this would reduce CPP and delay the restoration of an adequate cardiac output.

“The Federal Government has announced $70 million to help coal mines reduce emissions. Federal Resources Minister Martin Ferguson says coal mining is the economic backbone of many regional areas but must develop new ways of cutting carbon.“
What? We mine carbon for the express purpose of combining it with oxygen. Twit.
To this end, the government has established a program known as the coal mining abatement technology support package.
The Federal Government has already spent a large amount developing carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, but Mr Ferguson says emissions control from coal go further than that.
“Clean coal technologies aren’t just about carbon capture and storage, it’s also about other clean energy technologies, one of which is reducing methane levels, especially in underground coal mining,” he said.

Tate: Best of best
CHAMPAIGN – Here we are in the era of celebrations ... hanging jerseys ... reviving uniforms ... honoring Illini stars of the past.
And Saturday will be special in many ways at Memorial Stadium. Even with 10 former stars deceased, and numerous others still engaged athletically, more than half of the 80 players named to the all-time football team will be present for the aptly named Renaissance. Imagine the memories that will come alive when Dick Butkus is recognized, along with such old-timers as Johnny Karras, Rich Kreitling, Doug Dieken and Ed O'Bradovich, and those of a more recent vintage like Jeff George, Robert Holcombe and a fresh Super Bowl champion with a day off, David Diehl.
These 80 alumni will be honored during eight timeouts in the 11 a.m. home opener with Eastern Illinois.
It's unfair to limit the selections to 80. That's less than one player per year. But how about a 22-man first team? That's REALLY tough. And that's my assignment today.
In tackling this task, there'll be no attempt to evaluate players in the Red Grange era. Of course, Grange should head up any all-time team. But, as was the case in choosing my basketball all-timers, I don't feel comfortable trying to evaluate other stars like Chuck Carney, Butch Nowak and Bernie Shively, whose performances in that distant past are as ghostly as those of Grange. So we'll start in the post-World War II period, during which I have at least seen all these players in multiple performances.
QUARTERBACK: Jeff George. It boils down to George vs. Tony Eason. Eason backers have a strong case for the only Illini QB to be named All-Big Ten more than once. He had better statistics than George in one fewer game, showing 7,031 yards and 38 TDS in 1981-82 compared with George's 5,189 yards and 31 TDs. But Eason's teams went 14-9 and he was intercepted four times in his only bowl game, a 21-15 loss to Alabama. George was uncommonly good under pressure, beat Ohio State twice, sparked a 14-13 win against USC and capped a 10-2 season in 1989 when he was named Player of the Game in the 31-21 Citrus Bowl win against Virginia. Then he went No. 1 in the NFL draft.
FULLBACK: Jim Grabowski. Grabo was No. 3 in 1965 Heisman voting and a consensus All-American. He rattled off 2,878 career yards and gained 125 yards to help defeat Washington 17-7 in the UI's last Rose Bowl victory.
HALFBACKS: J.C. Caroline and Rashard Mendenhall. As a sophomore in 1953, Caroline should have won the Heisman Trophy as he led the country in rushing (1,256 yards in a 7-1-1 season). Robert Holcombe had three 1,000-yard seasons in the 1990s and was a steady, hard-hitting workhorse ... but his last 17 games were losses. Antoineo Harris rattled off 1,330 yards in 2002, but no UI halfback had a more spectacular season than Caroline until Mendenhall exploded as Big Ten offensive MVP with 1,681 yards in last season's 9-4 campaign.
TIGHT END: Doug Dieken. Tim Brewster, an elusive receiver in Mike White's offense, had 116 catches in 1982-83. But if you like your tight ends rough and rugged, Dieken is the guy. Before embarking on a long NFL career as a tackle, Dieken led Illinois in receiving all three years with 21, 29 and 39 receptions before passing became truly popular. He was the UI's two-time MVP, a co-captain and, in 1970, was named first-team All-Big Ten, an honor Brewster did not receive.
WIDE RECEIVERS: David Williams and Brandon Lloyd. Williams had school records of 3,392 yards and 24 TDs in 1983-84-85. Lloyd joined Walter Young, Greg Lewis and Aaron Moorehead to comprise the best-ever UI receiving corps, and he left a year early with two 1,000-yard seasons and 21 TDs. Apologies to personal favorites John Wright Sr. and Mike Martin, both worthy.
OFFENSIVE LINE: Center Larry McCarren, guards Alex Agase and Tim Simpson, tackles Brad Hopkins and Jim Juriga. McCarren was a two-time captain and 1972 all-league pick prior to his long career in Green Bay. A two-way standout, Agase made All-American at Purdue (during the war) and Illinois, earning Big Ten MVP honors as leader of the 1946 champions. He was named to the Walter Camp All-Century team in 1989. Simpson started four full seasons, was an exceptional run blocker and was named an All-Big Ten pick in 1991. Simpson and Hopkins helped Howard Griffith rush for 1,115 yards in 1990, and Hopkins emerged as all-league in 1992. He was the 13th pick in the NFL draft and, at one time during his 13-year career, was the highest-paid offensive lineman. It had been my intention to insert a long-overlooked Illini, Chuck Ulrich, at the other tackle slot, but Juriga has too many credentials. Highly mobile as linemen go, Juriga was a three-time All-Big Ten first-teamer and received second-team All-America honors in 1983.
DEFENSIVE LINE: Simeon Rice, Moe Gardner and Joe Rutgens. The reduction to three linemen allows for more linebackers where the talent is dramatically better. These three earned multiyear conference honors at Illinois, and Rutgens and Rice were the third picks in the NFL's first round. Gardner, voted the Big Ten's top lineman in 1989, joined Butkus, Grabowski, Williams and Dana Howard as the UI's only unanimous All-Americans since Grange. Rice, a three-time All-Big Ten choice, had 69 behind-the-line tackles, and Gardner is second with 57. How could Don Thorp, Big Ten MVP in 1983, be left off? You got me there.
SECONDARY: Al Brosky, Craig Swoope and Eugene Wilson. Again, only three. A roving safety, Brosky had 30 interceptions in 28 games, including pickoffs in 16 consecutive games, both NCAA records after more than a half-century of challenges. Wilson led the NCAA in pass breakups with 30 in 2001 and is the runaway Illini leader with 60 in a four-year career. Swoope was All-Big Ten during the Rose Bowl run in 1983, and he was a second-team All-America pick by UPI, AP and The Sporting News. That earns him a nervous nod over the only three Illini defensive backs ever deemed worthy of being chosen in the NFL's first round: Stan Wallace (1954), George Donnelly (1965) and Henry Jones (1991).
LINEBACKER: Butkus, Bill Burrell, Darrick Brownlow and Butkus Award winners Dana Howard and Kevin Hardy. No other position has produced such Illini quality. Burrell was the premier UI linebacker up to his time, finishing No. 4 in 1959 Heisman voting. Butkus was a two-time All-American, came in No. 3 in the Heisman and is regarded the best college linebacker, whereas Howard and Hardy were deemed the nation's top linebackers in their senior seasons of 1994 and 1995. Howard was twice honored as the Big Ten's top defensive player. Brownlow joined Gardner on three All-Big Ten teams in 1988-89-90. Falling into the overlooked category, due to this talent, are All-Big Ten first-teamers Chuck Boerio, Don Hansen, Tom Hicks, John Sullivan, Scott Studwell, John Holecek and J Leman.

Someone Just Paid $100,000 For A Cheeto That Looks Like Harambe (RIP)
Since Harambe’s untimely death in May 2016, the silverback gorilla’s stern likeness has graced everything from t-shirts to tote bags. “Dicks out for Harambe” was practically the catchphrase of the summer. Eulogy songs were sung. Memes were made. Expensive Harambe tattoos were etched onto biceps. Writers spilled gallons of ink explaining what it all means. Then, Harambe suddenly vanished. Or so we thought.
Now, nearly a year after his tragic death, Harambe has surfaced once again, this time as a Flamin’ Hot Cheeto for auction on eBay. The listing showed a picture of the Cheeto, which at first glance looks like nothing more than a red-hot baked lump of cornmeal. But then, when placed alongside a picture of a gorilla climbing a tree, as it was in the eBay listing, it becomes instantly obvious what it actually is: a Flamin’ Hot Harambe.
The Harambe-shaped Flamin' Hot Cheeto that sold for nearly $100,000Adam Linehan
Think about this. How often do you take the time to look at Cheetos when you’re eating them? Never. The consumption of cornmeal snacks is a purely mechanical process. Hand goes in bag. Snack goes in mouth. That’s it. It is, therefore, truly remarkable that someone discovered this hot and cheesy reincarnation of Harambe (may he rest in peace). And it’s even more remarkable that they had the audacity to sell it.
Whoever it was (a genius, presumably) is now, as of Feb. 7, a hundred grand richer. That’s right. The winning bid was $99,900, made by someone with a long and impeccable track record of following through with their eBay purchases. Think about that the next time you eat anything without first closely scrutinizing it to see if it even vaguely resembles a famous person or animal. How many thousands, or millions, of dollars have each of us literally flushed down the toilet? It’s a depressing thought to consider.
Screen grab from eBay
There’s another important lesson to be learned here: The power of Harambe is alive and well. In fact, there are now tons of Harambe-shaped Cheetos up for auction on eBay, and people are paying good money for them. So, yeah, Harambe wasn’t just the flavor of the month. He was, and is, much more than just a silly internet meme and an excuse for men to expose themselves in public. Like Shakespeare and Mozart, he’s one of the immortals. A hero of an entire generation. My generation. Looks like we’re going to be seeing a lot more dicks out in 2017.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon on Thursday tested a conventionally configured ground-launched ballistic missile, a test that would have been prohibited under the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty.
The United States formally withdrew from the landmark 1987 INF pact with Russia in August after determining that Moscow was violating the treaty, an accusation the Kremlin has denied.
The Taliban may not have breached the walls of Bagram, but they damaged the hell out of its main passenger terminal
Blasts from Taliban car bombs outside of Bagram Airfield on Wednesday caused extensive damage to the base's passenger terminal, new pictures released by the 45th Expeditionary Wing show.
The pictures, which are part of a photo essay called "Bagram stands fast," were posted on the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service's website on Thursday.
The Pentagon's top spokesman tried to downplay recent revelations by the Washington Post that U.S. government officials have consistently misled the American public about the war in Afghanistan for nearly two decades.
Washington Post reporter Craig Whitlock first brought to light that several top officials acknowledged to the Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction that the war was going badly despite their optimistic public statements. The report, based on extensive interviews and internal government data, also found that U.S. officials manipulated statistics to create the public perception that the U.S. military was making progress in Afghanistan.
An Army colonel's alleged abuse saddled his wife with ongoing medical needs. Escaping him could bring that care to a screeching halt.
Katherine Burton was sitting on her couch when she heard a scream.
Though she had not yet met her upstairs neighbors, Army. Col. Jerel Grimes and his wife Ellizabeth, Burton went to investigate almost immediately. "I knew it was a cry for help," she recalled of the August 1 incident.
Above her downstairs apartment in Huntsville, Alabama, Jerel and Ellizabeth had been arguing. They had been doing a lot of that lately. According to Ellizabeth, Jerel, a soldier with 26 years of service and two Afghanistan deployments under his belt, had become increasingly controlling in the months since the couple had married in April, forcing her to share computer passwords, receipts for purchases, and asking where she was at all times.
"I was starting to realize how controlling he was, and how manipulative he was," Ellizabeth said. "And he'd never been this way towards me in the 15 years that I've known him."

Being single is a really difficult thing, and to some, it is considered a bad thing because there is this thought that the reason for it is because there may be something wrong with you.
I have been single for over a year now, in fact, I remember my last break up was on the 16th of October, 2015. It is something that I am truly proud of because after I came out of the closet, I found it difficult for me to stay single.
Over the previous year of being single, I did meet some guys, and things could have escalated at a different level had I not controlled myself. I think it only took a while for me to realize after my previous relationship that the best thing to do was to stay single so I could find myself and something inside of me that I seemed to have lost because of all the people who came into my life who took it piece by piece.
As I go through the course of my singlehood, I am learning a lot of things. There are cons, and sometimes, it feels like the worst days of my life; but then there are the pros, the positives which seem to always outweigh the negatives making me realize that I should make the best out of it, and with that, it started to feel like the best days of my life.
A lot of us have been through the process of feeling lost after a break-up, and for me, it was the break-up last year that made me realize that I don’t fully know myself. I used to always feel worthless unless someone validates me as someone who is worth something, but being single taught me that I do not need anybody to validate who I am and what I could be.
There is definitely more to life than just being in a relationship, and that is also something that I am continuing to explore. I was given a new perspective in life that made me discover a lot of things that I would not have discovered had I decided to not take this time off for myself. I started reconnecting with myself, and I learned how to love and appreciate myself again.
With my self-appreciation in check, I also learned how to not take anyone or anything for granted. The more I learned about myself, the more I want to enjoy every moment of being single, and value other people without the pressure of being in a relationship. I was more open to making new friends without expectations of taking it anywhere else, and It was certainly more pleasant than having to get to know someone just for the sake of being romantically inclined with them.
I learned how to love more as a single person than when I was in a relationship. It made me realize that love is not something that you can only have in your system when you’re in a relationship as it is always a part of your system.
Loneliness is something that I didn’t want in my system. With all the relationships that I have been through, I realized that whether you’re single or in a relationship, you would feel loneliness, and sometimes, you even ask for it. I was always an introverted person, and the process of reconnecting with myself may have helped me appreciate the solitude.
Being single made me open myself up to the world more. I became more involved with the world, and it made me understand the real issues that we should be worried about. It made me realize that relationships could often lead to obsession, and obsession could often lead to a false perspective. It helped me become more aware of my surroundings, and myself.
I didn’t write this entry to discourage anyone from being in a relationship again, instead, I’m here to encourage all the single people out there to not be hopeless for being one, and to enjoy every moment of their singlehood. Always remember that there is always someone out there for you, and they will come into your life unexpectedly, so there is no need to rush.
Every Wednesday, I’ll be posting essays about life. Got any questions? Click here.

Fling – adult social network – I’m not supplying a link
Somewhat surprised that Twitter let this ad through. I’ve been pushed a promoted tweet by “fling” three times in the last few days. There’s nothing in the ad to tell you what fling is. Just looks like an odd way to push photos.
It’s only when you click to go to their website and are faced with a wall of nude photos that you realise what it is – an adult social network. For adult read porn. I find this quite distasteful of Twitter. I also find myself in the unusual situation of saying “Facebook would not have allowed that ad” although this is not based on any knowledge of fact.
You can see from the featured image in this post that the ad says “Send your snaps to 50 people around the world at random”. This must surely be something that the Advertising Standards Agency would want to take a look at. It’s something that kids might inadvertently click on. After all it suggests something like Instagram.
Fling must have some money to spend if they’ve pushed the ad to me three times. Unless I’m considered to be of a “certain demographic” which could be a bit worrying. Makes you wonder what data mining is being done by Twitter.
An individual is pretty helpless in this situation. We need the social networks as they have become part and parcel of our everyday lives but seem to have little control over what those networks might do with our data1. It feels to me that governments should start taking a much tougher stance with these guys.
Lots of posts on the subject of surveillance and privacy elsewhere on this blog. Check them out in the surveillance and privacy category here.


Stick a fork in them, they’re done! And so another Irish band calls it a day citing ‘financial reasons’ for their demise.
While the band say they will return ‘in different musical guises’, it does beg the question how difficult it is for young bands to survive. The band themselves recommend that people “Please go to gigs. Please buy merch” but should there not be some grant scheme for young bands? If you’re a classical performer then there are a variety of grants you can apply for. While it is very difficult to get these grants, it has always struck me as bizarre that society should define one type of music as ‘art’ and worth funding while another type has to fight it out for themselves.
As for the populace at large, do we have a responsibility to pay for the music we love? Or at least make sure the artists whose music we enjoy continue to make it? It’s a difficult concept for people in an age where there are so many options to get music for free or on paid streaming services.
It is definitely not something new that young bands struggle before they reach the critical mass. Performers like Glenn Hansard would give anyone hope that if you keep plugging away long enough it can happen, but he is the exception rather than the rule. It is also not a problem unique to music, with young artists in theatre, the visual arts etc all struggling to get by. What we can agree on is that it’s another sad demise in a long history of the same.
The Roisin Dubh, Galway – November 24th,
Connollys of Leap, Cork – November 25th,
Whelans, Dublin – December 9th
“Stick a fork in us, we’re done.
We’ve been quiet for a while now. We’ve had a lot of thinking and talking to do.
We’d be here all year if we started listing the people we wanted to thank, so we’ll just do that in our own time.
You’ll see us all again under different musical guises but, these 3 shows will be Fight Like Apes’ last. We want to call it a day while we’re all still pals and are proud of what we’ve done.
And we are very, very proud.
It’s a deadly time in so many ways to be in a band; you can have so much control over your work if you’re clever; you can release it how and when you like and in our opinion, right now, Ireland is the healthiest it’s ever been in terms of talent and diversity.
But, there are massive challenges for a lot of bands, mostly financial, that make this a tough job and sadly, those obstacles have become too big for us.
I think we all know that we’re going to hear announcements like this more often. A lot of people don’t seem to understand that we can’t keep producing records if you keep not paying for them. Bands are having to sell beautiful albums for €2.99, labels can’t give you as much support since they’re losing income too and our alternative radio stations* are practically non existent now, meaning so many wonderful bands will not get a chance to get played on radio as they’ll be competing with huge pop acts.
Please buy your music in independent record stores or directly from the band.
Don’t fool yourself in to thinking that your £10 subscription to Deezer and Spotify helps us at all. It does not. Look how many bands are on there and do the maths.
Please go to gigs. Please buy merch.
Thanks to all you entirely crazy, wonderful people who have supported us and danced and screamed with us over the past 10 years. We could never thank you enough.
I still can’t believe some of the amazing things we’ve done together and how far we came.
*RIP TXFM. We absolutely adore you and everything you’ve done for music in Ireland.”

Volkswagen has unveiled the CrossBlue SUV concept at the Detroit Motorshow. It will be a seven seater SUV when it goes into production and will rival the likes of the Toyota Highlander, Ford Explorer and Honda Pilot. It will replace the elderly and slow-selling Routan MPV, fitting into the range between the Tiguan and the Touareg, a car considered too expensive to successfully compete against more affordable competition.At 4987mm long, 2015mm wide and 1733mm tall, the CrossBlue is bigger than a Touareg. It uses VW’s MQB architecture, and the production car is likely to be closely related to the next Tiguan, with transverse engines. It will be built in the US alongside the US-market Passat. The show car has a plug-in diesel-electric hybrid powertrain, with a 2.0-litre engine and a pair of motors, one driving each axle – combined they produce 302bhp and a 0-100kph time of 7.2secs. From the picture the concept looks to be of Mercedes GL proportions size wise. Will definitely be a good seller if it is launched in India, A seven seater makes a lot of sense.

After consulting GMP Contesting a Will Lawyers, our client was advised that we believed he had grounds for contesting the Will.

XS-XL. I made the XL or size 14 for my tall 12 year old.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, even better IMHO.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Extremely easy and clear.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Liked everything about it.
Assorted cotton and poly knits, some with lycra. I used poly knits for ski underwear and cotton knits for regular wear. The leggings MUST have two-way stretch for full range of motion. Ponte knits with lycra are ideal.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Shortened body from tunic to t-shirt length and added waist shaping. Shortened sleeves to 3/4 length in two tops. Inserted the elastic into a casing instead of sewing it to the top of the waistband.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?Yes and yes. I've sewn the leggings 4 times and the top 3 times this week.
A great basic. The leggings fit just like RTW leggings.
I also used the tunic pattern to recut a couple of boxy "event" T-shirts.

Muvhango Phindile Gwala’s Night In Cells After Beating Up A Bystander Outside Nightclub
Muvhango’s Phindile Gwala spent her Friday night in police cells after being busted for assault.
She beat up a bystander outside Cubana, a Pietermaritzburg nightclub.
The incident was reported by the victim known as Nompilo Mkhize.
She took to social media on Saturday morning to narrate the whole ordeal.
She claims that while waiting for a friend outside the club and started shooting a video of herself.
This was the same time Phindile and her friends where coming out of the club.
Seeing Nompilo shooting a video, Phindile assumed she was taking a video of her and her friends without her consent.
She then shouted at Nompilo to stop taking videos while some of her friends grabbed her.
Phindile who plays Nonnie on Muvhango and Nkululeko’s girlfriend on Inbewu The Seed is said to have forcefully grabbed Nompilo’s phone and deleted the videos inside afterwhich she smashed the phone to the ground.
The traumatised Nompilo had to rush to the police after the ordeal that left her face scratched.
She opened an assault and malicious damage to property case against Phindile.
But got arrested too while reporting the case.
Both ladies had contravened the Disaster Management Act since they had broken the country’s Covid-19 curfew rules.
“I was charged with contravention of the Disaster Management Act. According to the police, I wasn’t supposed to open a case that time of the night and should have waited until 4am,” said Nompilo on social media.
The police arrested both parties leading to Phindile Gwala’s night in cells.
According to a police statement, the two women aged 22 and 24 were arrested for failing to confine themselves to their place of residence. They were then fined R1500 each for this while Phindile’s assault case was still under investigations.
