Today I went to our history museum to see the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival. I love this celebration, kind of like the Japanese Obon time but more colorful and fun. Both these celebrations honor family members who have passed into the other realm. We welcome them back to the earthly world to enjoy relationship again and then send them back to the spirit world. Incense, candles, flowers, and favorite foods are involved, and dancing. They are beautiful ways to remember the dead.
Dia de los Muertos and pretty falling leaves got me thinking of our limited time on earth. We never know when we will be called away. I want to finish writing my dad’s family history while he and his brother can read it, as a way to honor them as well as all their ancestors, and so they won’t be forgotten. My families on both the Dutch and Japanese sides had hard lives, so I especially want to honor and show respect for what they went through personally, historically, and culturally. Thanks to them, I am here today.
November is NaNoWriMo–National Novel Writing Month. Writers worldwide have started rough drafts of their novels, aiming to crank out 50,000 words by month’s end. That’s about 200 pages. Instead of writing a novel, you can use this challenge to work on your memoir or family history . My goal for the month is to finish my dad’s family history book, which looks to be about 100 pages. It’s almost done, actually, but I need to insert photos, work on a cover, and get print copies mailed out before Christmas. Surely I can do this despite a lot of busy days ahead.
Won’t you join me by working on your family stories? Begin by writing what you know. Thanksgiving with the relatives is the perfect time to gather more stories to add to your collection. Maybe this time next year, you and your ancestors’ spirits will be dancing together over a book of treasures.

Police contract challenged at discrimination trial
NEW HAVEN -- The wording of a police union contract came under scrutiny Thursday during the fourth day of a trial stemming from a federal racial discrimination.
During testimony at the U.S. District Court, former Capt. Michael Pacewicz said that officers can file a grievance on anything independently with their own lawyer, regardless of whether the union is behind them or not.
"In our contract an individual can put forth a complaint on anything," said Pacewicz, who once served as union president.
"And the union cannot tell them no?" said attorney Robert Mitchell, who is representing the town.
"Correct," replied Pacewicz.
Pacewicz was called as a witness for the town out of order due to a scheduling conflict. The police captain stepped down from his post last year.
Pacewicz said he never discriminated against minority officers on account of race, and said the department has never tolerated racial bias.
Pacewicz, who is white, said he wrote certain officers up repeatedly, such as plaintiff Vincent O'Banner, who is black, because those officers failed to follow simple instructions.
"Did you have a hunt out for Officer O'Banner?" Mitchell asked.
"No," replied Pacewicz. "He failed to follow directions. I felt it needed to be reinforced in writing."
The lawsuit said the town and police department had a policy of racial discrimination. The six black and two Latino officers are seeking damages for the positions they claim they were denied based on race. Lawyers for the town say the officers failed to use the proper outlets to file their complaints.
Attorney Lewis Chimes, one of the lawyers representing the plaintiffs, had Pacewicz read portions of the union contract and a poster on the affirmative action policy in Greenwich to highlight the hurdles officers may have faced in filing claims of racial discrimination.
"Do the words discrimination appear anywhere in there?" said Chimes, pointing to the union contract.
"I don't believe they do," replied Pacewicz.
Chimes then read the town's sexual harassment policy, which explicitly defines the violation and lists a number of people to contact about a potential complaint.
"There is no similar policy maintained by the town of Greenwich between 2002 and 2005 on the basis of race," said Chimes, noting that officers are told to report to their supervisor to report a violation under the contract.
"It says to report to the supervisor," said Chimes. "In a race case, isn't that a bit of a problem?"
"It would be difficult," said Pacewicz. Chimes said racial discrimination complaints should remain confidential and there should be a clause protecting against retaliation from filing a grievance against a supervising officer.
Perhaps the most direct question came from one of the jurors, however, who asked why acts of discrimination were tolerated if the police manual says it is a violation. U.S. District Court Judge Mark Kravitz posed the question to Pacewicz.
Pacewicz did not directly answer the question, but acknowledged that racially insensitive comments may have been said over the years. He asserted that such comments were never made to him.
Sgt. John Rodriguez, a Latino plaintiff, also testified Thursday about the racial slurs made about Hispanics within the department.
"There was an officer that said how are Hispanics like cue balls," Rodriguez told the jury. "The harder you hit them the more English you get out of them." Rodriguez said hearing jokes like that took its toll on him.
"It was disheartening," said Rodriguez. "There were situations where it hit deep down in your soul." Rodriguez was promoted to sergeant in 2009 after joining the department in the early 1990s.
Mitchell asked Rodriguez why he never said anything if he was offended and pointing to his career advancements.
"You just got done testifying tearfully about how terrible you have felt up until this day," said Mitchell. "Doesn't the fact remain that this department has treated you very well?"
"As of recently, yes," said Rodriguez.
Attorney Robert Richardson, also representing the plaintiff, asked Rodriguez to explain why he never spoke up.
"Every time someone of Hispanic dissent or who is black speaks up they are perceived as a trouble maker," said Rodriguez.
Officer Scott Johnson and his ex-wife also testified briefly Thursday afternoon about his slow advancement within the department and how it affected him. Johnson's testimony will continue Monday when the trial resumes.
The officers in the federal lawsuit include Vincent O'Banner, Terral Hardy, Scott Johnson, Carlos Franco, John Woodward and Anthony Cameron, as well as Detective Brown and Sgt. John Rodriguez. All of the officers have been present in court during trial. Five plaintiffs have testified so far. The plaintiffs are expected to rest Monday, at which time the town will call its witnesses.

How tiny packages deliver big results for supplements.
Suppliers and manufacturers understand that a supplement is useless if it fails to effectively deliver nutrients to the body. Companies want the best way to increase the bioavailability of some nutrients, like omega-3s and probiotics, and are turning to microencapsulation.
Let’s take a closer look at this important technique, including how it can be best applied and how microencapsulation improves the ingredient.
How it Works
Microencapsulation is the process of enveloping vitamins, nutrients or botanical particles in an outer coating to protect them from the environment, both outside and inside the body. These environmental dangers, such as heat, light, gastric pH, mechanical stress and interaction with other ingredients, can affect the potency and efficacy of the end product. The outer coating can be made of a variety of materials, such as gums, carbohydrates like starch, lipids, cellulose or proteins like gelatin. Which coating material is best to use depends on how stable the core material needs to be, the desired thickness of the coating and which material or nutrient it will be coating.
Kathy Lund, vice president of business development and marketing for AIDP, City of Industry, CA, says that her company’s coatings for microbeadlets are starch-based and “free from undesirable animal-based gelatins, preservatives, antioxidants and genetically modified ingredients,” which allows for those following a vegetarian, Kosher, Halal or other specific diet to still take the supplement.
There is more than one kind of microencapsulation, says Doug Lynch, vice president of business development for Lycored, Orange, NJ. “We offer multiple technologies, including fluid bed coating, spray drying and creation of beadlets (alginate, starch and gelatin),” Lynch says. The main point of the process, he says, is to “confer certain processing benefits to the raw material.”
Taste. One important benefit of microencapsulation is taste-masking. “Many of these important ingredients tend to taste awful,” admits Sam Wright, IV, CEO of The Wright Group, Crowley, LA. As retailers and consumers alike know, it doesn’t matter how “good for you” a product is if the off-putting taste prevents people from taking it! “Microencapsulation permits these ingredients to ‘play well with others,’” says Wright. Botanicals, amino acids and oils are examples of supplements that would benefit from the taste-masking feature of microencapsulation, Wright adds.
Fish oils and other oily materials are good candidates for microencapsulation as the process can convert them into a fine powder, says Wright, allowing them to be used in finished products, like gummies, that are easier to take than big, fishy-tasting capsules.
Form. Gummies aren’t the only possible end-product for microencapsulated materials. The process allows for nutrients to take many different forms, even outside of tablets or chewables. “We have developed food formulations,” says Lynch, explaining that they can add nutrients to beverages such as waters, juices and smoothies, as well as “cereals, confection, infant and dairy or non-dairy applications.” These kinds of delivery systems are also useful to “older consumers since their ability to swallow tablets and capsules has become a problem,” says Wright.
Shelf life. Another major benefit of protecting nutrients from the environment is a longer shelf life and increased stability, a plus not only for the consumer, but also for the supplier. “For supplements or functional ingredients, microencapsulation can add stability in tableting or extend shelf life, thereby reducing overages needed and providing cost savings,” explains Lund. Overages are the amount of a product that has been added above the labeled amount to compensate for the loss of potency or product disintegration. They are included, at a cost, so that the potency of the product at the end of its shelf life matches that on the label. Microencapsulation minimizes this need, “which is critical for formulary or regulatory concerns that limit adding actives above the label claim,” says Lynch.
Stability. Bérengère Feuz, marketing group manager of Lallemand Health Solutions, Montreal, Canada, says her company specializes in microencapsulation for probiotics as they are “special and fragile ingredients.” Her company has developed a special microencapsulation technology for probiotics, involving “freeze-dried particles of live bacteria in a fluidized air-bed device.” Each particle, she says, consists of a microbead that contains hundreds of dormant bacteria coated with a lipid-based layer that protects the bacteria from physical and chemical stresses.
Microencapsulated probiotics, according to Feuz, have close to a 100% survival rate after up to seven hours at 50° C (122° F), 1,000 times better resistance to pH 1.5 (that of stomach acid) and twice the survival rate after compression than non-microencapsulated bacteria. “Such a technology has helped broaden the applications and usage of probiotics, offering longer shelf life or room temperature storage, for example,” explains Feuz. However, she cautions that it is no “magic bullet” and that a poor-quality probiotic (or any ingredient, for that matter) cannot be saved by microencapsulation.
Suppliers continue to find new ways to improve upon the process and apply the technique to different product formats. Lund says her company’s process “removes all previous barriers for clear beverage and nutraceutical applications, such as cloudiness, clumping, fragility, bioavailability and dispersion.” Wright mentions that his company has been working on more sophisticated processes to enable oil-based nutrients in clear solutions, as well. With the promise of this technology, look for more advancements to be introduced in the near future. WF

General Boy (Hardback)
The Life of Lieutenant General Sir Frederick Browning
This is the first biography of 'Boy' Browning, whose name is inextricably linked with the creation and employment of Britain's airborne forces in the Second World War. Commissioned into the Grenadier Guards, Browning served on the Western Front, earning a DSO during the Battle of Cambrai.
As Adjutant at Sandhurst, he began the tradition of riding a horse up the steps at the end of the commissioning parade. Browning represented England as a hurdler and Great Britain at the 1928 Winter Olympics. In 1932 Browning married Daphne du Maurier, who was ten years younger and became one of the 20th century's most enduring and popular novelists with titles such as Jamaica Inn and Rebecca.
Browning commanded two brigades before being appointed to command 1 Airborne Division in 1941, later acting as Eisenhower's advisor on airborne warfare in the Mediterranean. In 1944 he commanded 1st Airborne Corps, which he took to Holland for Operation MARKET GARDEN that September. Allegedly coining the phrase “a bridge too far”, he has received much of the blame for the operation's failure.
In late 1944, Browning became Chief of Staff to Mountbatten. In 1948 he became Comptroller and Treasurer to Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip and then Treasurer to the latter following the Queen's accession. He was a close adviser to the Royal couple who respected his judgment.
By this time Boy and Daphne lived separate lives with Boy working at the Palace in London and Daphne reluctant to leave her beloved Cornwall although the marriage remained intact. Questions exist as to Daphne's sexuality and Boy had a succession of discrete mistresses. After a nervous breakdown probably due to marriage problems, he resigned in 1959 and retired to Cornwall. Browning died in March 1965.
I suppose the highest honour any country can bestow on one of their former sailors is to name a warship in their honour. Of course, armies don't have warships but they do name regimental barracks after great men. It says much for the esteem with which Lt. General Sir Frederick Browning is held by the Parachute Regiment that their depot in Aldershot is named Browning Barracks.Ned Middleton
As is so expertly pointed out inside the book's front cover, there are three elements to Boy Browning's life which might each have been the subject of a separate biography. For those who, like myself, served with Airborne Forces in a former military career, I was particularly intrigued by the way in which he was portrayed during his time as overall commander of Operation Market Garden. At other times during that military career he acted as Mountbatten's Chief of Staff and also advised Eisenhower. Such politically astute generals are normally headed for the very top of their profession but not on this occasion.
The second of those three elements is undoubtedly his marriage to the lovely, brilliant and yet exceedingly demanding author Daphne du Maurier. This is a fascinating part of his life and provides those who like biographies but dislike military biographies with an excuse to make an exception in this case. How strange to find the good looking, always immaculate and self-assured general (and paratrooper to boot!) was not so self-confident when found outside the uniform and the work which gave him that air of complete security one would have expected to find at all times. Du Maurier was a sexually complex lady with a will to match any general. Maybe she was the reason for his nervous breakdown!
The third and final part of this trilogy is his post-war career in the royal household where he eventually acted as treasurer to the Duke of Edinburgh. Alongside the Duke, it was Browning who was in the car with Her Majesty after her immediate accession to the throne. The Duke of Edinburgh also pays a warm tribute in his foreword.
Though "Boy" was just a silly nickname given to him when he first joined the Grenadier Guards, Major General Urquhart said after Arnhem that it was surprisingly accurate. Browning had a harmless vanity, a certain quality of never really having grown up.
Recipient of the Croix de Guerre in 1917, the man with the boyish good looks went on to receive two knighthoods a CB and a DSO during a life which really is worth reading all about. I thoroughly recommend this book.
Lieutenant General Sir Frederick 'Boy' Browning is a name synonymous with with the ill-fated MARKET GARDEN operation, when remembered at all. From the onset, Richard Mead's biography sets out to redress this imbalance, exploring the life and character of Browning beyond the events that marked less than a month of his lifetime of military service. As outlined by Mead, however, this proves no easy task; Browning having actively discouraged any such work throughout his lifetime. This perhaps goes some way to explain the rather two-dimensional portrayal, if not vilification of Browning in the works of other military historians. Mead explores the remarkable military career of Browning, encompassing a number of high profile positions across two world wars and an instrumental role in the formation of Britain's Airborne Forces, concluding with his post-war royal appointments. Mead's biography, however, further seeks to outline the character of the man behind the service record. A consummate professional soldier, Browning was uncompromising in demanding a high standard of service from those who served beneath him, as well as himself, and with a gift for inspiring great loyalty and affection in those who served with him. Through exploration of the relationships between Browning and those closest to him, particularly his tempestuous marriage with novelist Daphne du Maurier, Mead also portrays a different 'Boy' marked by an uncertainty in stark contrast to his more public and professional exterior. Mead's biography provides a fascinating insight into a man too often dismissed by military historians for his role in a single disastrous operation.T. Kiernan
A military biography with a difference. Controversially Accredited for the entirety of the disastrous Market Garden operation much of Lieutenant General Frederick's contributions to Britain are overlooked though they far outweigh this one ill-fated event. The Market Garden operation is nonetheless covered by Richard Mead and will be the focus of this book for many, but Mead offers many more bridges of Browning's life which stem much further. Browning's personal life is an entrancing war story of a different kind, not only in his complex love affair with his wife but also the battle to keep up a confident front on a tormented and less assured soul. Catalogued over his involvement in both the World War's and much of his achievements after, we see a man of many levels, some of greatness, some of love, some of strife and those of honor, all the qualities that earned him a no less deserved position than serving the Royal household. Mead's book was a wonderful exploration of this mans momentous life and opened the door of insight unto previously unexplored territory. To see how a man of such majesty suffered the anxieties of a mere mortal gave a sense that maybe we are all just human after all.Tom
This biography covers Lieutenant General Sir Frederick Browning’s military career spanning both World Wars, his marriage to the novelist Daphne du Maurier, as well as his post-war royal involvement in the household of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip and then as Treasurer to the latter following the Queen’s accession.History Today
I have a confession to make – this is a book that I actually started to write a few years ago, but was ‘warned off’ by a Regimental archive that I approached, who informed me that Richard Mead was already well advanced on writing a biography of General Browning. Therefore I have been eagerly awaiting this book for some time.Daly History Blog
I’ve written before about the idisyncracies of the military biography. The problem is that the most critical sources – personal letters, diaries, recollections and memories etc – are controlled by the subjects family, who are very unlikely to make them available to a writer who is likely to show their nearest and dearest in anything other than a flattering light. Regiments can be even more protective of their old boys, especially a clan as tightly knit and exclusive as the Grenadier Guards. Therefore the military biography is hardly an objective project at the best of times. But when the subject is a controversial figure such as Browning, this is even more so the case.
On balance, Mead’s appraisal of Browning’s role in Market Garden appears apologetic. Most of the serious criticisms of Browning are rebuffed, while a few minor faults are admitted, almost as sacrificial lambs. I remain convinved that Browning was the most pivotal figure in the whole operation, who could have forced changes in the plan but did not, and who should have foreseen errors, but did not. Browning certainly did not protest about taking a grossly inadequate Corps HQ into battle, as he knew it was his last chance to see action in the Second World War. No serious military historian would argue that I Airborne Corps‘ presence in Holland was vitally necessary on the first day of the operation.
In the same manner, A Bridge Too Far‘s treatment of Browning is decried, but again, I still feel that the substance of the film is correct – Browning DID preside over a disaster. He did downplay dangerous intelligence, and did have his intelligence officer sent away on sick leave. These are not trivial accusations. Perhaps Dirk Bogarde did play Browning in a less than flattering light, but new evidence would suggest that the screenplay – and the influence of American interests – forced Bogarde into this portrayal, even against his own personal will. In any case, the main complaint is that Bogarde’s protrayal showed Browning to be vain and aloof. But, surely it’s not stretching the imagination to describe someone who designed their own extravagant uniforms as being vain? When the film was released a plethora of military figures protested, but this perhaps had more to do with military loyalty to a superior than anything else.
Where Mead really has succeeded is in ‘bookending’ Browning’s life. For too long military history has seen Browning’s life as starting in 1942 and ending in 1944 when he went to South East Asia, with what came before and after as an afterthought. His family background, his service in the First World War, his sporting activities, his regimental service between the wars and his time as Adjutant at Sandhurst all played a part in making Boy Browning the man that he was in September 1944. That he spent virtually all of his career with the Grenadier Guards – very much a closed and conservative environment – perhaps did not aid his work with others who were not part of the Brigade of Guards. He might have been a fighting soldier in 1918, but by 1939 had had a severely limited career that did not prepare him sufficiently for higher command.
In much the same manner his subsequent valuable service as Chief of Staff to Mountbatten in South East Asia, Military Secretary at the War Office, and then a key figure in the Royal Households should not be overlooked. In particular it seems that Browning was a very able administrator, particularly for the relatively young and inexperienced Mountbatten. Ironically, this kind of work was perhaps Browning’s strength, rather than active command. Perhaps it is indicative of the patronage system that pervaded the British Army that an officer singularly unsuited to active operations was allowed to reach such a position in the first place.
One aspect of Browning’s life that has very rarely been exposed is that of his mental and physical health, in particular in retirement. I have long seen glimpses of this, particularly in my own research, but it’s almost as if a veil of secrecy had been drawn over matters, so as not to portray any weakness on the part of Boy Browning. Not unlike the proverbial elephant in the room. He suffered from a lifelong stomach complaint (perhaps psychosomatic?), and not infrequent periods of exhaustion and stress. It’s probably unfortunate that somebody with such a stress threshold found themselves in command of the most high-profile failure of the Second World War.
After the War Browning developed something of a drinking problem which severely damaged his circulation, suffered from bouts of depression and at one point a serious nervous breakdown. On several occasions he was found with a revolver in his hand threatening to blow his own brains out. Browning’s relationship with his wife, the novelist Daphne du Maurier, is also examined. Both certainly had affairs, and du Maurier had liaisons with a number of women. Browning also seems to have had a difficult relationship with his children. These characterstics certainly co-align with wartime descriptions of him being nervy and highly strung, and cold and aloof. In some respects, it would be interesting to hear the thoughts of a psychologist on this evidence of a very strained life. Although we need to understand what part all of this played – if any – in his wartime actions, we should not think any less of the man purely that he suffered from personal problems.
Whilst the controversy is sure to rage on, at least Boy Browning’s life can now be seen in greater context. Whatever Historians might write about him, the focus on Browning’s life and career has for too long been far too narrow. I do not envy any Historian in the task of writing a military biography. Here Richard Mead has made the best effort that perhaps could be expected.
The name Lieutenant General Sir Frederick "Boy" Browning is commonly associated with the ill-fated Operation Market Garden. But, a veteran of the Western Front (he earned a DSO during the Battle of Cambrai), Browning is also inextricably linked with the creation of Britain's airborne forces in the Second World War.Britain at War Magazine Feb 2011
General 'Boy' Browning is remembered with affection by his old regiment, the Grenadier Guards, and by all who served in Airborne Forces in world war 2, when he played the leading role in the creation the elite formation that proudly wore the red beret. Curiously, we have had to wait nearly half a century - he died in 1965 - for the sort of biography he deserves. Richard Mead's impeccably researched account illuminates the life of a fine soldier (as an outstandingly brave subaltern he won the DSO in 1918) who served as adjutant at Sandhurst, setting a precedent by riding his grey charger up the steps of the Old Building in the wake of the newly commissioned senior intake. He thrived in the London society of the inter-war years; cultured, athletic, and handsome. He married Daphne du Maurier the celebrated author (she was not an enthusiastic army wife, however), commanded his battalion in Egypt, and when war broke out in 1939 rose rapidly to be appointed as theMichael Hickey
commander of the parachutes and glider=borne force created at Churchill's behest to match the astounding performance of the German airborne troops in 1940-41. The obstacles were immense and the frustrations took their toll on Browning, always highly-strung and prone to bouts of depression similar to Churchill's 'Black Dog'.. His performance in command of the Anglo-American airborne corps in Operation 'Market Garden' has been open to criticism aver since but the author's close analysis shows clearly why the operation to take the Arnhem bridge failed. Students of that difficult phase of the campaign in north west Europe are well advised to read this account.
After the war, following a less than happy tour of duty in Mountbatten's headquarters as Chief of Staff, Browning served as Comptroller of the newly-wed Princess Elizabeth's Household, then as Treasurer to that of her husband the Duke of Edinburgh. He was a resounding success in both posts. His later years, as the Duke writes in a sympathetic foreword, were not happy; both he and Daphne had extramarital affairs although they remained in love with each other to the end.
Forty-five years after his death this biography of 'Boy" Browning is timely, at the very least, and many will feel it is long overdue. In Richard Mead it has found an author who has taken great pains to uncover a mass of information from a wide variety of sources, in the process winning the confidence of Boy's family and others still alive who remember him. The result is a fine and absorbing book, well supported by photographs, notes, a list of sources and bibliography, and detailed index, all of which testify to the thoroughness of the work.Guards Magazine
This careful, closely considered life, lived in testing times by a truly exceptional man, of towering strengths and almost pathetic weakness, is a wonderful human story, beautifully told. it is not to be missed.
THIS is a long-overdue book that takes a close look at one of the most controversial British commanders of the Second World War. The popular view of Lt Gen Sir Frederick Browning has been influenced by Dirk Bogarde’s portrayal of him in the classic film, A Bridge Too Far. The author sets out to penetrate the myth and give a balanced insight into the true character of the father of British Airborne Forces and reveals much more of the story beyond his role as the architect of Operation Market Garden and husband of Daphne du Maurier. It is a very personal account of the complex life of one of our most talented leaders.Maj Mike Peters, AAC, Soldier Magazine 2011
This fascinating biography follows the life of "Boy" Browning through his days at Eton and into the Grenadier Guards, with whom he served as a junior officer in the First World War, and on to his aspiring inter-war career, culminating in his part in laying the foundations of the British Airborne Forces during the Second World War, and, later, serving as Chief of Staff to Mountbatten in South-East Asia. Browning was respected throughout the Army as a highly capable officer who inspired the highest standards in his subordinates, but Richard Mead also exposes the warmer, more personal side of his character that only a select few were allowed to witness. He also chronicles Browning's enduring, but troubled marriage to Daphne du Maurier, and his last tragic years, which, as a consequence of a lifetime of unceasing work, were defined by a series of ailments, both mental and physical. Lieutenant-General Browning has become one of the most maligned figures in the history of the Airborne Forces movement, and so it is most refreshing, not merely to read an account which considers matters from his perspective and attempts to answer the criticisms, but one which acknowledges that Operation Market Garden consumed but a single month in the life of a man whose long career in the military, before and beyond September 1944, was as distinguished as it was highly regarded.Pegasus Archive

This first biography of the man behind the formation of Britain's Airborne Forces and associated with the failure of Operation Market Garden in 1944 is long overdue. 'Boy' gained his reputation as a fighting soldier in WW1, when he won a DSO as a Lieutenant. His belief in drill, discipline, good humour and physical fitness was exhibited in various posts between the wars. He possessed a dual persona: charming and confident in public, but moody, bad-tempered and anxious in his personal life. His marriage to the famous novelist Daphne du Maurier was problematic and may account for this.Military Illustrated
Mead does not excuse his subject in the forensic examination of Browning's responsibility for the failure at Arnham. Browning later acted as CoS to Mountbatten at SEAC and was appointed Military Secretary after war. He also served in the Royal Household of Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh. Browning's nervous breakdown. his clandestine relationships with other women and his various illnesses are outlined and co-existed alongside his charitable works, artistic interests and enduring love for Daphne. Hopefully this book will encourage other military historians to explore more aspects of his career.
General Boy is an exciting and deeply researched look into the complex life of Frederick Browning .More commonly known as General 'Boy' Browning, the biography explores the highly regarded General who had a pivotal involvement in both World Wars and includes an exclusive foreword by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. Not only does the book give a very detailed journey of his extraordinary military career and employment of Britain's airborne forces from 1941-44, but also gives an exciting look into his long and troubled marriage to the famous novelist Daphne Du Maurier and finally covers his involvement in the household of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip , and his life as treasurer following the Queens accession. The confidence and valiant nature of Brownings character is evoked in the tales of his military achievements , as are the insecurities and self-doubt of his failures - the book explores the much debated , ill-fated Market Garden operation of September 1944 ,where Browning acted as Commander to the first troop of Air bourne corps . Whilst directly appealing to those interested in Military History , on a personal level it's much more than a traditional Military biography as Mead delves deep into his fascinating yet turbulent relationship with Du Maurier and gives an insight into Browning's private life on a much more personal level than ever before. Whilst Browning was alive he kept his personal affairs very private and this is the first exploration of his complex life, looking at each of his most important roles from father to husband to General and treasurer and how he succeeded in juggling each of his roles . A must read for anyone with an interest in the compelling threads of a General's life and human experience.Paul (Customer Review)
Frederick Browning, or Boy Browning as he was also known, was a man who had to face a trauma that some men never had, fighting in two world wars, he was front line service in the first and then had a higher command in the second. This biography goes into account not only his remarkable military career but also his personal life, and gives insight into a man who on the outside showed confidence and strong will, but on the inside was on the edge personally, because of the strain of his job and the role he played in missions.Kate (Customer Review)
Browning was controversially the commander of the 1st Airborne Corps during Operation Market Garden, this been a major part of the book that is detailed because of the failure of this operation and the blame rested upon Brownings shoulders. He advised President Eisenhower and became the chief of staff to Dickie Mountbatten, the Duke of Edinburgh's uncle. He had a troubled marriage to the novelist Daphne du Maurier, and suffered a nervous breakdown when he was a Grenadier Guard. Post wars he served in the household of the Royal Family been a treasurer to Prince Philip, this formed an affectionate friendship with the Duke of Edinburgh as seen in the foreword of this book.
With a forward by HRH The `Duke of Edinburgh', this extremely readable biography covers virtually all human emotions from the relative happiness of 'Boy' Browning's childhood years, through to the excitement and stress of the war years ending in the bitter poignancy of this complex military man's final hours. Deeply researched, it is full of contradictions and surprises. With many personal photographs included, no stone is left unturned as the reader learns (and in many ways) is entranced by the twist and turns of an important military man's life. I urge you to read it.Susan (Customer Review)
General 'Boy' Browning is best known as the commander of Britain's airborne forces for much of the Second World War, and as the senior commander most directly involved in Operation Market Garden, the famous 'bridge too far'. As this biography makes clear he was a rather unusual figure for a senior army officer, and in particular for a Guardsman. His family was involved in the drinks industry, importing Hennessy brandy into the UK, his father sat on the board of the Savoy Hotel, Berkeley and Claridges, and the family had connections in the theatre world, and especially to the D'Oyly Carte family. Perhaps most famously he was married to the novelist Daphne du Maurier.History of War
Browning's own professional life began with a largely conventional experience of the First World War trenches. The inter-war period was equally conventional, other than the romance and marriage with the already famous young novelist. Things really changed professionally when he was appointed to head Britain's new airborne forces, where he played a major role in preserving and then expanding the paratrooper and glider-borne units under his command. Inevitably the centrepiece of the biography is Browning's role in Operation Market Garden. This was the first time he had commanded a corps in the field, and he wasn't entirely successful in the role.
Mead goes into some detail on Browning's role in the battle, looking at the various mistakes generally attributed to him. One of the more unusual features of this book is that Mead is willing to admit to his subject's failings, while at the same time conducting a generally convincing defence of his role at Arnhem (it has to be said that Browning's own defence of the operation was rather less convincing, and was based on the idea that the operation achieved 80% of its objectives, failing to acknowledge that the final objective, the bridge at Arnhem, was really the only one that mattered).
Browning's unusual career means that this book has a rather wider scope than most military biographies, covering his life with du Maurier and his time working for Princes Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh. This should make it of interest to a wider readership than would otherwise be the case, but the military elements are also well researched and presented, so it will satisfy on those grounds as well.
On three separate counts, ‘Boy’ Browning is a subject for a biography spanning both World Wars, his marriage to the temperamental Daphne Du Maurier and his involvement in the household of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip. This book is long overdue.Pennant Magazine
As a fighting soldier “Boy’ Browning had already acquired a reputation in the British Army by the end of the First World War. As a 20-year-old Grenadier Guards lieutenant he had won the DSO on the Western Front in 1917 for taking command of three companies whose officers had all been wounded and inspiring them to repel attacks by overwhelming numbers of Germans. ... During the Second World War he established himself as a leading advocate of airborne operations and, as Richard Mead’s book makes clear, the creation of Britain’s airborne forces as a distinct fighting arm was very much his achievement.The Times Newspaper, Sat 20th August 2011
Richard Mead is even-headed and, if we would have liked to know a good deal more about the remarkable marriage to du Maurier, he gives us a convincing impression of what kind of man – and soldier – her husband actually was.
They were volunteers to a man. These were the airborne troops who dropped into enemy territory ahead of any others, pinpointing the Drop Zone by means of a radio marker. They would then prepare the ground for the main forces that would follow. Once they had marked out the Drop Zones, they then had to defend them, whatever the odds. The volunteers had to pass exacting physical and psychological tests before they could join this elite force. These were the men of the 21st Independent Parachute Company, which was part of the Parachute Regiment, and this is their story, told by one of that unique…By Ron Kent

Multi-Functional High Energy, High Power Lithium-Polymer Batteries for MAVs
Agency / Branch:
DOD / USAF
Micro air vehicles (MAV) are envisioned to play a substantial role in carrying out critical missions for the Nation's future military force. However due to their small size, deficiencies in critical technologies may limit the operational performance of future MAVs. Arguably, on-board power may be the most mission-limiting issue facing future MAVs. To address this need, ADA Technologies, Inc. proposes the development of a novel, multifunctional power source that combines the functionality of a high energy device (e.g., fuel cells or high energy Li-ion battery) with a high power device (e.g., high power Li-ion battery or ultracapacitor). The hybrid-power device proposed here is essentially an advanced Lithium-polymer battery design that is capable of operating in both high-power or high-energy modes with great efficiency, thus eliminating the need for separate devices (e.g., battery and ultracapacitor). BENEFIT: The increased energy and power density provided by the proposed technology will enable greater on-board power for MAVs as well as allowing for more payload capacity thereby broadening the mission profile for next generation MAVs. Furthermore, the developments undertaken will substantially improve the state-of-the-art of energy storage devices. Thus if successful, the resulting technology could have substantial commercial impact as the overall market for battery technologies is estimated to be in excess of $6B per year. Spin-off applications include hybrid electric vehicles, utility grid applications, personal electronics and medical devices.

Bringing the birds to your home
There is no shortage of birds here in Abilene. Robins, blue jays, pigeons, and so many more, can be seen in trees on power lines. Unfortunately, some of the local birds that blanket the city are not well liked. So, for those who enjoy seeing and hearing non-nuisance birds, how does one draw them to their property? Providing a reason for birds to visit is a great place to start. Birdhouses, birdbaths and feeders can make your yard appealing. The key is offering the right incentive for the desired bird type. Fortunately, the Abilene Public Library has numerous titles about birds that will help by offering insight and tips into the process.
The 2014 title “Easy Birdhouses & Feeders: Simple Projects to Attract & Retain the Birds You Want” by Michael Berger is a good place to start. Easy plans for the inexperienced builder are provided for birdbaths, bird feeders and birdhouses, along with strategies for how and where to locate them. Berger emphasizes attracting specific bird types as well as ensuring the safety of the birds.
Another great all-around guide is “Big Book of Bird Houses & Bird Feeders” by Thomas Boswell. The book provides a huge assortment of baths, feeders and houses to construct. Boswell also provides advice on choosing the right structure for a bird type, mounting the house as well as where to locate it. Finally, he provides suggestions for guarding your hard work by discouraging unwanted guests.
Colin McGhee authored “Rustic Birdhouse and Feeder: Unique Thatched-Roof Designs Built to Audubon Specifications”. This master thatcher offers projects ranging from a chickadee box to a Tudor wren house. He even shows you how to dress up a purchased birdhouse with thatch.
The thrifty bird lover might want to try “Bird Boxes and Feeders for the Garden” by Dave MacKenzie. He provides 21 practical projects that utilize readily available timber. MacKenzie also touches on food and habitats favored by birds. Please note that this great guide will likely require some basic woodworking knowledge.
For skilled craftsmen interested in something a little more unique, check out “Architectural Birdhouses: 15 Famous Buildings to Make for Your Feathered Friends” by Thomas Stender. Craft a project or two from this book and the birds might just ignore the plain box in the neighbor’s yard for a stately replica of an Arts and Crafts bungalow or a Gothic Cathedral.
To attract beautiful birds, try one of the mentioned guides, or, one of the many others the library offers. They will give all the information necessary to provide birds with an appealing and safe place to nest or simply stop in for a bite. Consider your Abilene Public Library the place to go for all things birds.

(Minghui.org) The Melbourne Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce held its 30th Melbourne Moon Festival in Box Hill, a famous suburb where many Chinese people reside, on this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, September 10, 2022. Falun Gong had an eye-catching booth at the festival.
The festival was postponed for two years because of the pandemic but attracted many families from various cultural backgrounds this year. Many people stopped at the brightly-colored Falun Gong booth to watch the group of young practitioners demonstrate the Falun Gong exercises. Children were particularly drawn to the little hand-made lotus flowers at the booth.
People expressed admiration for Falun Gong practitioners who have been clarifying the truth to people for 23 years. Some people learned the exercises at the event.
Former Member of the Victorian Legislative Council: Falun Gong Set a Good Example for People Who Fight for Freedom of Belief
Jan Kronberg, a former member of the Victorian Legislative Council and State MP, was at the Moon Festival with her husband. She greeted practitioners and commented that people “know the importance of truth” and that Falun Gong practitioners were trying their best to ensure people have such freedom. She acknowledged that Falun Gong practitioners have set a good example for people who fight for freedom of belief.
She said that what Falun Gong practitioners have been suffering has disturbed people all over the world and that it was very important to let the world know about the persecution of Falun Gong.
She said spreading the truth is very significant and she encouraged practitioners to keep talking to people. She also said they should be confident because they are imparting good information.
She said she would pray for Falun Gong practitioners’ freedom.
Teacher: Falun Gong Makes Me Calm
Thornly Talasaia, a teacher in Melbourne, stopped at the Falun Gong booth for a long time to watch the young practitioners’ exercise demonstration.
Falun Gong had caught his eye when, as he said, “I saw the children sitting in the lotus positions. Their hands came down slowly in unison although their eyes were closed and they didn’t communicate with each other.”
He said that Falun Gong made people calm. When he learned that its practitioners are brutally suppressed in China, he shook his head and said that it was very unfair.
He encouraged the practitioners to attend more activities to spread such beautiful things and help more people learn the truth. He said that it was meaningful for them to attend the Moon Festival.
Veteran Overseas Chinese: I Admire Falun Gong from the Bottom of My Heart
Mr. Guo came to Australia from Shanghai more than 30 years ago. He had been a teacher in Shanghai. “Why did I leave Shanghai?” he asked. “I came here to escape communism. Communism violates basic human nature and morals. I’ve never had a good feeling about communism. What it has done is disgusting.”
He expressed his admiration for Falun Gong practitioners who have persevered in clarifying the truth and opposing the persecution for the past 23 years.
“I admire Falun Gong practitioners. No other group or organisation dares to go against the Chinese Communist Party. But Falun Gong practitioners have done such a courageous thing. They have set an outstanding example for Chinese people to oppose the CCP, so I strongly support Falun Gong,” he said.
“If the majority of Chinese people awaken, the CCP won’t exist for long. Its draconian policy to clear away COVID-19 is against science, against human morality and social laws. It’s going backwards. Chinese people are complaining,” he said.
Mr. Liu came to Australia 45 years ago. He said, “Falun Gong keeps people healthy and fit. I am interested in it.”
He said that he had passed out at home two months before and was diagnosed with diabetes. He learned that the Falun Gong exercises keep people healthy and fit, so when he saw the Falun Gong booth, he was very pleased.
A practitioner told Mr. Liu how she had recovered from her illnesses. He said he would go to the practice site in Box Hill Park to learn Falun Gong.
Aleksandra, a resident of Box Hill, was attracted to Falun Gong and decided to learn the exercises. She said that she would go to the practice site after she returned from her holiday.

When she's forced to flee her home, her path collides with attorney Sutton Monroe, who shows her kindness by not turning her in to the authorities. But when he later refuses to come to her aid, Claire fears she's sorely misjudged the man. Finding herself among the elite of Nashville's society, Claire believes her dream to create a lasting impression in the world of art is within reach––but only if her past remains hidden.
The Federal Army has destroyed Sutton's home, and confiscated his land, and now threatens to destroy his family's honor. His determination to reclaim what belongs to him reveals a truth that may cost him more than he ever imagined––as well as the woman he loves.
Set at Nashville's historic Belmont Mansion, a stunning antebellum manor built by Mrs. Adelicia Acklen, A Lasting Impression is a sweeping love story about a nation mending after war, the redemption of those wounded, and the courage of a man and woman to see themselves––and each other––for who they truly are.
This book was one of the few that has made a “Lasting Impression” on me. Pun intended. It is one of my favorite books of all time, which is saying something because as you know, I have read a lot of books in my day. Tamera Alexander’s writing is out of this world. Other authors don’t even compare. This book seemed so realistic. From her writing style to her characters, it just seemed so real. This is not a small book. I mean, it’s four-hundred and twenty-six pages so, it is a pretty big book. And you know what? I didn’t want to stop reading about Claire’s Laurent’s life.
You can guess that her character development is also extraordinary. It felt like I personally knew the characters and they could step out of the book and be real people (another reason to LOVE this book). Finding these qualities in an author is somewhat rare. Plus, it is based off of Belmont Mansion which is located in Nashville Tennessee. This is a beautiful place to imagine while you’re reading this book.
With a little touch of humor this book was everything you want in a historical novel. This is a very big and thorough book so if you are looking for something lighthearted and fast to read then I might recommend something else but I would encourage you to read this book.

Advantages of volumetric analysis. Titrimetric Analysis 2022-10-21
Advantages of volumetric analysis
Volumetric analysis, also known as titrimetry, is a method of chemical analysis in which the volume of a solution of known concentration, called a titrant, is used to determine the concentration of another solution, called the analyte. This technique has several advantages over other methods of chemical analysis, making it a widely used and reliable method in various fields such as chemistry, biology, and environmental science.
One of the main advantages of volumetric analysis is its high accuracy and precision. Since the volume of the titrant is accurately measured using calibrated glassware, the concentration of the analyte can be calculated with a high degree of accuracy. In addition, the technique is relatively simple and easy to perform, making it suitable for use in a variety of settings, including laboratories, classrooms, and fieldwork.
Another advantage of volumetric analysis is that it is a non-destructive method, meaning that the sample being analyzed is not consumed or altered during the analysis. This is especially useful in cases where the sample is limited or valuable, or when it is necessary to preserve the sample for further analysis or experimentation.
Volumetric analysis is also highly versatile, as it can be used to determine the concentration of a wide range of analytes, including acids, bases, and salts. In addition, the technique can be used to analyze solutions with a wide range of concentrations, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
Finally, volumetric analysis is relatively cheap and easy to perform, making it a cost-effective option for many laboratories and research institutions. The equipment needed for volumetric analysis is relatively inexpensive and widely available, and the technique requires relatively little training, making it accessible to a wide range of users.
In summary, volumetric analysis is a reliable and accurate method of chemical analysis that has a number of advantages over other methods. Its simplicity, versatility, and cost-effectiveness make it a widely used technique in a variety of settings, and its non-destructive nature makes it particularly useful for the analysis of limited or valuable samples.
Top 10 Advantages of Cost
The gravimetric analysis, in general, can provide analysis of a single element, or a limited group of elements, at a time. What is the law of volumetric analysis? Here titrate means substance to be analyzed and titrant means reagent of know concentration. He determined the acid titer using pure potassium carbonate, thus making absolute determinations. It is simple to do. Simple Titration A simple titration is a procedure that uses a known solution to determine the concentration of an unknown Back Titration The concentration of an analyte is calculated in this sort of titration by reacting it with a known amount of extra reagent.

Essay On Human Rights Violations In Nigeria 1886 Words 8 Pages The degradation of the environment in the Niger Delta, is a direct result of oil companies that have failed to take social responsibility into consideration in their various operations.
Chrominfo: Advantages and disadvantages of volumetric titration
By plotting the conductivity against the volume of titrant, a V-shaped graph will be obtained, with the end-point at the intersection of the two lines. In Section 3, we explore methods for interpreting the XRD signatures and classifying explosives. In New Brunswick, as in other areas of North America where fracking is possible, there is heated debate on whether the investment would be made in this industry. The endpoint of the titration is reached when the oxidation and reduction reactions are balanced. An example of acid-base titration is the determination of the concentration of hydrochloric acid in a solution. Let us learn them in detail.
How does gravimetric analysis differ from volumetric analysis?
This procedure takes considerably longer than with conventional CT scanning, and the animals must be anaesthetised. What is the disadvantage of gravimetric analysis? Michaelis, Kolthoff Clarke, Muller, Furman, and Jorgensen performed work on the determination of pH using potentiometry and reported their work in the first half of the 20th century. The end point was indicated by the persistence of color of the titrant, indigo. The development of alloyed steels had its effect on analysis. By this procedure, many inorganic and organic acids and bases can be determined with a high degree of precision and accuracy. Learn more about this Volumetric Analysis Volumetric analysis is a quantitative approach used to determine the concentration of the analyte.
What is volumetric analysis?
Although glassware can be calibrated, these calibrations are not always completely accurate. If less than 12 teaspoonful of the acid mixture were required the potash was not considered suitable for bleaching. This was partly because of the superior accuracy of the methods, but perhaps more to the necessity of using the quickest methods possible for control tests. Acid base titration is based on reaction of acid and base to form salt and water. WILSON, in An Approach to Chemical Analysis, 1966 Publisher Summary This chapter describes the development of large-scale industry and volumetric analysis in early 20th century.
Advantages Of Volumetric Analysis
The reagent is allowed to react with the analyte to calculate its concentration. The cost-volume-profit CVP analysis reveals the connections between output volume and sales, cost, and profit, which greatly aids management in making crucial decisions. Why is titration not accurate? As shown in Fig. These included chromium, manganese, iron, phosphate, and copper. It allows for accurate and precise measurements to be made of unknown substances.
Primary standard solution: It is the standard solution prepared by dissolving a calculated mass of a substance in a certain volume of solution and then is directly used to determine the concentration of the unknown solution. This titration is carried out for chloride, cyanide, and bromide ions. He determined the amount of titrant by weighing. The reagent B is called the titrant. Complexation Reactions: In this method, the analyte is a metal ion and the titrant is a ligand. The gravimetric method is inherently more accurate than the volumetric method because the temperature of the solvent can be ignored.
What is volumetric analysis and its types? [Answered!]
Titrand A titrand is a solution whose concentration is determined by titration, using the solution of known concentration. Why is it called volumetric analysis? Each method has strengths and weaknesses that impact the image quality, material specificity, measurable signal levels, and complexity which, in turn, impact cost and detection performance. The titrimetric analysis is an analytical method involving measuring the volume of a reagent reacting stoichiometrically with the analyte. After properly dispersing the clay particles, a few drops of 0. The titrate is the component whose concentration is to be estimated. The accuracy of the glassware used to measure the solutions, such as pipettes and burettes, can also act as a limitation in titration experiments.
Volumetric Analysis: Learn Definition, Types, Principle, Uses
Mohr critically reexamined the majority of analytical procedures known at the time. How do you write a volumetric analysis? Precipitation titration involves the formation of precipitates at the end of titration. WILSON, in An Approach to Chemical Analysis, 1966 Conductimetric Titration The conductivity of a solution depends on the mobility of the ions present. Double Titration It is similar to simple titration. The basic principles and applications of these wet chemical techniques are demonstrated and discussed.
Because there are two endpoints during the titration, two indicators typically, phenolphthalein and methyl orange are utilised in this procedure. X-ray analysis of explosives and precursors involves a combination of imaging i. Definition of volumetric : of, relating to, or involving the measurement of volume. Volumetric analysis is carried out by titration. Difference Between Gravimetric Analysis and Volumetric Analysis Volumetric analysis is a branch of chemistry that deals with the measurement of the volume of solutions.
What is the principle of volumetric analysis?
By providing overwhelming data on oil fracking Exxon: Business Level Strategy 1123 Words 5 Pages Exxon exercises unique geoscience capabilities and understanding of the global hydrocarbon endowment to identify and prioritize all quality resources in a cost-effective manner. In an analysis, we measure the amount of an unknown compound with the use of a known amount of a known compound. This means that it has mostly been applied to precipitation reactions or reactions of hydrogen or hydroxyl ions, and there are often more convenient ways of dealing with these reactions. Who uses volumetric analysis? Micro-CT provides a means of presenting two-dimensional images of the implant using three-dimensional geometry Kiba et al. So, in this excess amount of the standard solution of EDTA is added to the metal solution being examined and the excess EDTA is back titrated with metal ion solution using a suitable indicator.

The Gift of Peace
The Hebrew Bible uses a familiar but significant word, shalom. In its purest sense, shalom means “peace.” The connotation is positive. That is, when someone says, “Shalom,” or, “Peace unto you,” it doesn’t mean, “I hope you don’t get into any trouble”; it means, “I hope you have all the highest good coming your way.”
Most people in our world don’t understand peace as a positive concept. All they know is the negative aspect of peace, which is merely the absence of trouble. The definition of peace in many languages of the world illustrates that. For example, the Quechua Indians in Ecuador and Bolivia use a word for peace that literally translates, “to sit down in one’s heart.” For them peace is the opposite of running around in the midst of constant anxieties. The Chol Indians of Mexico define peace as “a quiet heart.” Those may be beautiful ways to put it, but they still seem to leave us with only the negative idea that peace is the absence of trouble.

What is it about the human face that is so engaging and powerful?
You often hear that someone is the face of a movement, or the face of change. But what does that really mean? Does simply looking someone in the face, really taking a moment to study that person’s face – at the surface and beyond – have the power to bring about peace?
Artist Kelly Mellos, who left her life in the corporate business world to pursue a career in portraiture, toyed with this concept when she brought together a group of Palestinian and Israeli students and asked them to sit face-to-face and draw portraits of each other.
For Mellos, painting brings about a presence. When she runs her pencil or paintbrush over a face, she “softens into feelings of lucidity and deep reverence within the light of (her) subject.” Could the same feelings be stirred up in those who have been taught to be enemies?
“I thought there might be a possibility of transforming helplessness into hope,” she said. In a portrait workshop group through a peace program called Hands of Peace, Mellos got to test out her theory among teens who rarely get to meet and get to know one another.
The resulting workshop was an intriguing look into the power of humanity and the human face.


The long, dark days of winter are coming to an end and the flowers are starting to bloom. Yes, spring is here at last.
To celebrate, here’s another selection of the terrible MOT fails Britain’s MOT testers have found.
Some of them are truly shocking and really show why the work they do is so important.
Have you ever seen brake discs and pads in this condition?
It’s a wonder how the owner didn’t notice that the brakes weren’t working properly. They were so bad there would have been little or no braking capacity whatsoever, which could have caused a crash.
Luckily, thanks to the hard work of the MOT tester who found it, this car was taken off the road before any damage was done.
Rock bottom result
This bottom arm on a Morris 1000 had been ‘restored’ by a customer who then decided their car needed an MOT.
Nick’s garage failed it on an amazing 26 points, including this one! That’s a lot of failures for one vehicle, and means there was no way it should have been on the road.
Whoever had been fixing it clearly didn’t know what they were doing. Time to take it to an expert to fix it!
Matthew sent us this picture of a tyre on a 2009 Mondeo sent to his garage for test. With nearly no tread on this 8-year-old tyre, it’s surprising it could grip the road at all in the rain or wet! And he tells us the others weren’t much better!
The law requires car tyres to have a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm in a continuous band around the central three quarters of the tyre. Manufacturers often mould tread bars on tyres to help judge the depth.
You should make sure your tyres are safe and legal before you bring your car in for MOT. Not only will it make your vehicle more safe, it’ll save you the cost and wasted time of a failed MOT.
What a cracker!
Sam from a garage in Northampton sent us this photo of a 2005 Suzuki Alto. When it was being inspected with its front wheels jacked up, the hub assembly and damper fell apart due to being totally corroded away.
This shows the need for regular servicing and maintenance on your car.
A big thank you
Of course, the majority of motorists do a great job of looking after their vehicles and don’t send them to the garage in the state these ones were.
A big thank you to this group of MOT testers for sending in your stories. If you’ve tested a downright dangerous rust bucket or outrageous vehicle failure, please send them to firstname.lastname@example.org along with:
- some large and clear photos of the defect
- a brief description of what you found and what could have happened if the issues not been sorted out
We’ll include the very worst ones in our next MOT horror stories blog post.


Oswald's $111 Million Mansion 191205
December 5, 2019
Emailed to Fed Chair Jay Powell, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari, Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan, Congressman Van Taylor, Congressman Colin Allred, Senator John Cornyn, Senator Ted Cruz, The U.S. SEC, NYT/WSJ/WP/DMN/CNBC, and Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson on 12/5/19.
Lee Harvey Oswald produced this $111 Million Florida Mansion!
Hedge fund billionaire buys Florida mansion for $111 million, setting state record
PUBLISHED TUE, DEC 3 201910:49 AM EST UPDATED WED, DEC 4 20192:39 PM EST
Hedge fund billionaire Steven Schonfeld and his wife bought a sprawling Palm Beach estate for $111 million, making it the most expensive home ever sold in Florida.
Schonfeld, founder of New York-based Schonfeld Strategic Advisors, closed Tuesday on the 6-acre estate known as La Reverie, according to a spokesman.
The estate, sold by hair-care mogul Sydell Miller, has more than 70,000 square feet of living space, with 11 bedrooms, 22 bathrooms, a bowling alley, salon, spa, ice cream stand and candy parlor. It had been listed for $200 million.
Lee Harvey Oswald is responsible for this fabulous mansion and for many other similar financial miracles/debacles!
I contend that someone, possibly the Russians, interfered with the United States of America democratic system of governance by enticing Lee Harvey Oswald to assassinate John Fitzgerald Kennedy! This got a scoundrel, Lyndon Baines Johnson, into the White House and he eventually hoodwinked the U.S. Congress into adopting the Unified Budget which inverted the U.S. monetary system!
The global monetary system is not operating with real money, it is operating primarily with imaginary-counterfeit money that the U.S. Government is fraudulently borrowing from the future Americans!
When LBJ proposed and the 90th Congress approved the Unified Budget; this launched what is now a $127.1 Trillion Ponzi scheme that I call USAPonzi! When the Unified Budget was adopted, the U.S. Government should have switched from Cash Accounting to GAAP Accounting but since it did not, we now have a radically distorted monetary and financial system!
Because the U.S. Government is not accruing for future benefit promises, the U.S. Government, for the last 50 years, has been fraudulently borrowing money from the future Americans and giving it to the U.S. upper class with GAAP basis deficit spending!
As of today, December 5, 2019, the U.S. Government has fraudulently borrowed $127.1 Trillion of imaginary-counterfeit money from the future Americans so Steven Schonfeld and his wife can buy this $111 Million Mansion!
See USAPonzi-The Great American Fraud!
See Whistleblower Letter #3 to the U.S. Congress!
Lee Harvey Oswald has had more impact on Planet Earth than nearly any other single individual!
This U.S. Government fiscal and accounting fraud is causing Global Warming that is destroying Planet Earth!
Lee Harvey Oswald did not do this all by himself, he had the help of a corrupt U.S. Government!
You can learn more about this fraud/Ponzi scheme by reading my websites www.usaponzi.net and www.usaponzi.com or better yet by reading my sixth book on USAPonzi “USAPonziC” which is available on Amazon.
This is the biggest ($127.1 Trillion) financial fraud ever perpetrated, I call it “USAPonzi: The Great American Fraud” and “The Biggest Ponzi Scheme on the Planet”!

We reported about a month ago that Samsung had the Galaxy On5 (2016) in the pipeline and that the budget handset could be released in the coming months. Data from Import tracker Zauba showed that Samsung had imported several units of the SM-G5700 into India for testing, evaluation and R&D. The Galaxy On5 bears model number SM-G550 which makes it very likely that the SM-G5700 is the Galaxy On5 (2016). The handset is now closer to seeing the light of day as it has received the necessary FCC certification.
Rumored specifications of the Galaxy On5 (2016) include a 5-inch display, 1.4GHz quad-core Exynos 7570 processor with 2GB RAM and Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Samsung is yet to confirm when the Galaxy On5 (2016) is going to be released but considering the fact that the existing Galaxy On5 arrived in October last year it may not take more than a couple of months for its successor to hit the market. Whether or not Samsung will charge the same price for the new On5 handset remains to be seen.

This is one of those dishes created out of fondness for a memory of a favorite vacation.
While vacationing at the Villa La Borghetta Resort in Figline Valdarno, Tuscany, we stumbled upon a neighborhood eatery that made, possibly, the best carbonara, I have ever eaten.
Rich, egg-y flavor coupled with smokey chunks of pancetta; my mouth was amazed by it's fresh flavor and faboulous ingredients. That memory has lingered for three years now and I wonder if I will ever experience this rich, golden goodness again?
My dish features locally cured bacon with a smokey sweetness and some Italian gnocchi!
