European Parliament President Martin Schulz said Wednesday that creditors have made offers to the Greek government that should result in an acceptable compromise on a bailout deal.
"This is a fair deal and I am optimistic that we will get it," Schulz told Huffington Post Spain of the creditors' proposals.
Sitting down with Editorial Director Montserrat Dominguez, the president spoke of hope for a solution even as the contentious talks seemed to inject his answers with a bitter subtext of criticism toward the Greek government.
"Whenever the ideological, radical people lead the debate it leads to nothing," Schulz said. "What we need are pragmatic solutions and not big debates."
Negotiations between Greece and its creditors have continued this week as the June 30 deadline for the nation to pay the International Monetary Fund 1.6 billion euros looms. Should the Greek government and the so-called troika of the IMF, the European Central Bank and the European Commission fail to reach a deal to unlock the bailout funds Greece needs, it would send the country into a default. If that happens, it could wreak havoc on the Greek economy and force an exit from the eurozone.
This week seemed to signal a breakthrough in the talks, as Greece offered a plan Monday for reforms in exchange for funds, which officials involved in the negotiations spoke of in positive terms. But on Wednesday concerns over a potential default were reignited after a new disagreement between Greek leaders and IMF over the latter's demands.
Schulz, a center-left German politician, previously criticized Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras for isolating his allies and lacking pragmatism in an interview with The Guardian last week.
Despite his pointed rhetoric toward Tsipras, Schulz also voiced some optimism during his talk with Huffington Post Spain.
"The Greek government presented a list of proposals -- late, but in my eyes not too late -- and therefore I hope that tomorrow we find a solution," said Schulz.


text: I live in a small 2 bedroom end of terrace house. I have a Worcester 28Si Boiler in the corner of one of the bedrooms. I have been thinking about getting a joiner to box in the boiler for both aestetic reasons and also to reduce the noise the boiler makes (possibly lining a wooden built in cupboard with soundproofing material). My main issue is how much ventilation does the boiler need? In an ideal world I would like to have a completely sealed unit around the boiler so that I can reduce the noice the boiler makes in the room however I am aware that boilers need a certain amount of airflow. Saftey will always take priority over other things. If you can help advise it would be much appreciated. One option I have wodered about if it is required is cutting a hole in the ceiling and providing ventilation from the attic. Also assuming ventilation isn't an issue how much room should be left around the boiler.

Sigrity X accelerates system analysis by up to a factor of 10
Up to x10 performance improvement can be delivered without compromising accuracy, using Cadence Sigrity X signal and power integrity (SI/PI), claims the company.
This breakthrough in distributed simulation enables large-scale complex analysis in the cloud, says Cadence.
Sigrity X features powerful new simulation engines for system-level analysis and is based on a distributed architecture. Its tool suite addresses the size and scalability challenges of system-level simulations in the 5G communications, automotive, hyperscale computing, and aerospace and defence industries. Sigrity X also streamlines set-up time for detailed system-level SI/PI analysis, says Cadence, by transitioning seamlessly across different analysis workflows.
The software works in tandem with the Clarity 3D Solver and is integrated into Cadence’s Allegro PCB Designer and Allegro Package Designer Plus. This enables PCB and IC package designers to incorporate end-to-end, multi-fabric, multi-board systems (from transmitter to receiver or power source to power sink) for SI/ PI signoff.
“We work closely with the Sigrity team from Cadence and are very pleased to see the results being delivered in the next-generation Sigrity release, said Aaron Yang, senior director at semiconductor manufacturer, MediaTek. “Not only can many designs be analysed x10 faster with the same accuracy level, but the capability has also been extended to larger and more complex designs that previously could not be analysed,” he added. The company estimates that the productivity builder is allowing it to reduce design cycles by weeks.
Other customers are Renesas, which said that the latest Sigrity release has “improved dramatically” the IC package sign-off, reducing simulation time down from one day to “a few short hours” according to Tamio Nagano, senior principal engineer, in the Design Automation department, Shared R&D EDA division, IoT and Infrastructure business unit at Renesas.
At Samsun Electronics, Sangyun Kim, vice president of foundry design technology, said: “The Sigrity 2021 release brings us the same level of accuracy from the Sigrity XtractIM field solver with performance that can allow us to deliver final design plans weeks earlier than before”.
H3C Semiconductor Technologies also reported performance improvements, “significantly reducing the time required to analyse the PCB. We can now increase quality by iterating two or three more times and still meet our schedules,” said David Dai, vice president of H3C Semiconductor Technologies.

ORLANDO, Fla.--Mickey and Calvin Klein, Goofy and Levi Strauss. For many of the international tourists who flock here for fun and sun, those names exert equal pull. Orlando has a population of about one million, and it attracts close to 34 million tourists each year. An increasing number are from South America, Europe and Japan, according to the Orlando Orange County Convention and Visitors Bureau. And because the cost of a pair of jeans abroad can be twice what it is here, those tourists search for brands as status symbols and souvenirs. Retailers here are capitalizing on this growing demand for denim, with stores in key tourist areas. Here are profiles of two Orlando denim specialty stores that have built their businesses on selling brand-name denim to international customers.
WORLD OF DENIM "Branded denim has been so hot at World of Denim that by end of 1996, there will be six stores, all operating within a 10-mile radius of here," said Judy Cheek, the chain's general manager. "There's enough tourist business in a concentrated area for that many stores to all do well," she said. Currently, there are five stores in the chain, three of them World of Denim units and two called Denim World, the name under which the chain started in business 15 years ago. At that time, Denim World targeted a local audience with unbranded merchandise at promotional prices. But the increasing demand for branded merchandise by international tourists spurred the opening of a new format called World of Denim, in 1992. "We were driven by price," said Cheek. "Now it's the right branded merchandise. Brand names are so important to these customers that they come in the door asking for it." The new approach has worked so well that the two Denim World stores will be changing their name to World of Denim in the next year, and an additional store will be opened. The owners declined to give figures, but industry sources estimate volume at over $20 million for the five current stores. Each store is around 10,000 square feet, said Cheek. Store interiors are light and bright, with wooden fixtures mixed with metal and mini-departments housing separate brands. The mix is about 40 percent women's, 60 percent men's. Best-selling brands include Guess, Calvin Klein, Levi, Lee, Wrangler, Pepe, Girbaud, Diesel and Replay. Levi is a mainstay for the store and accounts for 35 percent of business. The basic 501 jean is the best-selling item storewide. Levi's are priced at around $30 to $40. World of Denim also buys about $2 million of Calvin Klein merchandise. "Calvin Klein is huge in Europe and more expensive there," said Cheek. Most lines in the store are priced around the same as in department stores, although some are about 15 percent lower, depending on sales and promotions. Although World of Denim carries complete collections from several of its vendors, 50 percent of the overall business is from the sale of bottoms, primarily jeans. Fashion pieces such as scooters, rompers and short-alls are mixed in to attract fashion-conscious customers. Logos--the bigger, the better--are very important to the international customer, said Cheek. "Customers want to go home looking like they've bought something here," she said. "Our local customers don't want to advertise brands, and our vendors don't understand it, but to these customers, it's a status symbol."DENIM USA "To these customers, jeans equal America. We're selling not only jeans, but the idea of America and Florida," said Joe Josephs, owner of Denim USA. Branded jeans are so popular with tourists that they often buy jeans to wear home on the plane, said Josephs. Denim USA opened in May and doubled its size to 12,000 square feet shortly thereafter. The store is on target for a projected $3 million to $3.5 million in first-year sales volume, said Josephs. A former real estate developer, Josephs launched the store in response to feedback from customers shopping at various strip malls near Disney World. With 90 percent of business coming from tourists, and a constantly changing international representation, the Denim USA customer defies classification, he said. "Our customers may be the most unusual in the country," said Josephs. "One week it may be young girls from Brazil, and the next week it may be families from Germany." Buying for such a diverse group is challenging, said Josephs. Serving tourists from both hemispheres at different times of the year blurs seasons. For example, South Americans coming in the summer are looking for jackets to take home, where it is winter. Denim brands such as Levi's, Calvin Klein, Lee, Boss, Beverly Hills Polo Club for women and men make up most of the inventory, with Levi's 501 and 505 styles the bestsellers. Prices are $30 to $34 for Levi's jeans, which constitute 50 percent of total business. "We could do $1 million more a year with Levi if we could have more access to product," said Josephs. "Levi's are so in demand, that we can't keep enough in stock." Bottoms outsell tops, but branded T-shirts with logos from all brands are popular, he said. Denim USA also carries more fashion-forward looks to appeal to a younger customer. In addition to junior-oriented jeans lines such as Jordache and Jou Jou, the store carries knits, waffle prints, thermal fabrics and pointelle cotton dresses from Tropical Cargo to appeal to teenagers traveling with their families in Florida. The store also has some more upscale lines with a streetwear feel, such as the Montreal-based Parasuco. A black mesh see-through nylon top with a silver medallion, priced at $40, sold six units in two days, he said. "International tourists are often more daring in the way they dress," said Josephs. "The French and Brazilians are particularly more flamboyant than other nationalities." The store has an "earthy but contemporary" feel, said Josephs, with marble fixtures and maple shelves, and blue neon accents. Josephs said he doesn't see the denim craze dying out soon. "Our store proves that jeans have a universal appeal," he said. "Denim transcends age and international boundaries."

Using Inkscape and wanting to proportionately resize a grouped object based on an included part of the object.
For example I have an image with an outline of something. Within that image is a simple square of some random size. I want to expand the image proportionately until that square is exactly 1"x1" (or whatever)
Presently, I draw a 1"x1" square then select the original object, lock the width and height, and corner drag it until that square looks like it matches my 1x1 square. Then I have to move it to get closer to overlay, and stretch again. Repeat until it looks as close as I can visually manage.
There must be an easier and more efficient way. Suggestions?

The National Association of Realtors Political Action Committee gave $5.8 million to congressional candidates in the past five elections, and has already handed out $875,000 for this year's contests, according to a report recently released by Common Cause.
RPAC has contributed more than $3 million since 1979, sometimes supporting opposing candidates in the same race, and today 88 percent of all current House members and 87 percent of all current senators have received some funds from the group, the self-styled citizens lobby said.
"If you exclude the local affiliates of the American Medical Association, then Realtors are No. 1 in campaign contributions," said Randy D. Huwa, the lobbyist for Common Cause who wrote the report. "They were ninth in 1974 and have risen to be No. 1 for the past three years."
Bill Adkinson, spokesman for the National Association of Realtors, said this week that PAC contributions come from association members but do not come out of their dues. He said approximately 109,000 of the association's 600,000 members contribute to the PAC fund, averaging $35 per Realtor per year.
"This is a real grass-roots organization, not a few rich people giving a lot of money," he said.
The Realtors rate each candidate and contribute from $100 to the maximum allowable $10,000 to the campaigns of those who support legislation that promotes homeownership and investment, said Jack Carlson, executive officer of the association.
"Those particular objectives are for the common good, not just for the good of Realtors," he said.
According to the Common Cause report, there were 43 instances of Realtors contributing money to both the Republican and Democratic candidates for the same House seat in the 1981-82 elections. There were 42 instances of the same double contributions in Senate races from 1977 to the current election cycle.
Also, the study found three instances in which Realtors contributed money to a losing candidate, then turned around and gave money to the candidate who won after the election was over.
"No doubt they are covering all bets in an attempt to be as influential as possible," said Common Cause's Huwa. "PAC money does gain access to the members. That is not to say PACs always win, but they are always heard."
Realtor spokesmen said they have contributed money to opposing candidates because members on a local level have split over whom they wish to support. They also said that if both candidates have good Realtor "report cards," the PAC may decide to contribute to both.
"Sometimes we have . . . sat back and let whomever wins win, if both candidates are acceptable," said Carlson. "Or we contribute to both, or to one after the election."
Most local representatives in the Washington area have received PAC money, with Virginia Republican Reps. Frank R. Wolf receiving $15,000 and Stanford E. (Stan) Parris $15,200 from 1979 to June 1984. Parris' total was the highest of any area legislator.
"PAC money absolutely has no impact on the representative," Syd Courson, a spokesman for Parris, said last week. "Congressman Parris is not unsupportive of development as long as it does not fly in the face of public good. Development is a major issue in his Fairfax County district. Therefore, it is not surprising they Realtors would support us."
Democratic Rep. Michael D. Barnes, whose district includes most of Montgomery County, was one of the few local representatives who has not received any Realtor money since 1979.
"We do accept PAC money, and we received contributions from local real estate agents during our last campaign," said his press secretary, Bill Bronrott. "I have no idea why the Realtor PAC did not support us, but it makes no difference to his stand on issues."
Virginia Republican Sens. Paul S. Trible Jr. and John W. Warner received $5,500 and $7,000, respectively, from Realtors since 1979. Maryland Sens. Paul S. Sarbanes, a Democrat, and Charles McC. Mathias, a Republican, received $1,250 and $1,000, respectively.
According to the report, the Realtors also have contributed $217,000 to the Republican Party and $213,000 to the Democratic Party in the past five years.
The PAC has contributed $30,000 in the past five years to Rep. John Edward Porter (R-Ill.), the most any single legislator received. Huwa said Porter was in a special election for his seat, which may explain why he received extra funds.
Generally, members of House and Senate committees that deal with real estate and finance were more heavily funded than legislators on other committees, Huwa said, adding, "It is clear they want their influence spread well."
The National Association of Realtors most recently has been involved in legislation dealing with the federal deficit, government spending and tax policies, Huwa said. This year the PAC has lobbied strongly against provisions in recent tax bills that would restrict tax advantages for homeowners and real estate investors.
"It is anyone's guess as to how much we influence Congress," said Carlson. "But our PAC gives local businessmen, Realtors, the opportunity to get involved in government on local and national levels. That is the most important aspect of it."

I am currently a senior student from the Faculty of Science at Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi, majoring in Biology. I was the university representative for the Innolab Pathway project in 2010, which is a competition for science students with excellent initiatives for social development. Our project is supported by E-idea and with the guidance of professors at the university and the cooperation of youth networks. The project focuses on education for the community in the Thanyaburi District of Pathumtani Province on the effects of climate change and the positive effects of the use of tablet fertilizers created with antagonistic fungus, which can double the growth and also the resistance rate of plants and trees. The introduction of this fertilizer is to be piloted in the mangrove forest in the community.
We realise that to combat climate change and global warming, we need to focus on its main cause, and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We have devised a project to induce oxygen by the use of the antagonistic spawn trichoderma in mangrove forests. This antagonistic fungus can improve the resistance and immunity of the mangrove forest. Through biological production, we aim to create this fungus as a tablet fertilizer to be used with mangrove forests to speed up growth rate and extend the lifespan of these forests.
Our project is to use antagonistic fungus to create a tablet fertilizer, which can double the growth and the resistance rate of mangroves and plants. Thanks to this tablet fertilizer, trees can grow more rapidly and so prolong the life of the mangroves, which have an important role in reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The pilot area for our project is in the central province of Samutsakorn.
With great support from the British Council and LRQA, we have been able to cascade knowledge about climate change to the local community and provide information to villagers in Khok Kham Muang Samut on how to tackle this problem by inducing fungal growth forest. Due to our engagement, the local communities in the area understand the effects of global warming more, they cooperate in planting trees to help restore wetlands and mangrove areas.
We aim to mass produce fertilizer, using leftover space, in order to generate additional revenue for the group of people in the local community.

Dining next to the Queen is a privilege not many can say they have enjoyed.
And it is an honour which recently fell upon Sir Terry Wogan.
The British monarch requested the veteran presenter to be seated next to her at a Windsor Castle dinner this week.
"Her Majesty was adamant that she should sit next to Wogan," says a courtier. "She is a regular listener of his programme."
When she presented him with his knighthood in 2005, she told the 71-year-old presenter that she had been listening to his radio show a couple of hours earlier.
The Good Life actress Penelope Keith was also honoured with an invitation to sit next to the Duke of Edinburgh at the same table.

HM 144 demonstrates important phenomena of bed-load transport in the area near the bottom at subcritical discharge. The dimensions of the experimental section enable the modelling of small river courses.
The core element of the HM 144 experimental flume is the stainless steel experimental section. A sediment layer up to 12cm high covering an area of 2x1m allows bed-load transport to be studied. The inclination of the experimental flume can be adjusted to allow simulation of slope.
The flow enters the experimental section through one of the three inlet elements. The inlet elements have different geometries and each contains a foam insert to calm the flow. The selected inlet element can be freely positioned in the experimental section and is held in position by the sediment. A filter element is provided in the water outlet to held the sediment in the experimental section. The closed water circuit is supplemented by a storage tank and a pump.
Profile measurement in the sediment along the bottom and the determination of the discharge depth at each point on the experimental section is done via a movable instrument carrier and a point gauge. The flow rate is measured via a rotameter.

Fuel cost is the most expensive factor in operating a vessel, accounting for up to 70% of total ship operating costs. Our Electronic Fuel Monitoring System provides real-time data on fuel usage, enabling vessel operators to identify inefficiencies and develop a robust management plan to reduce fuel consumption. It includes fuel pilferage prevention measures and reporting capabilities for tracking fuel usage and analysing data over time. With our system, ship owners and charterers have the information they need to save costs.
The on-board Dashboard presents a real-time visualisation of your vessel’s performance metrics. Using the touchscreen embedded on the bridge, crew on-board have an overview of vessel performance during actual operations to closely monitor the vessel’s overall fuel consumption. Performance data captured enables the crew to make timely response on benchmark deviations to achieve optimised fuel efficiency.
Bunkering monitoring is essential for the detection, recording and tracking of the bunker status. The BunkerXchange provides real-time visualisation of bunkering process. The crew onboard will have full visibility of bunker profiles, enabling improved productivity and procurement assessments. Inaccuracies resulting from manual reporting and data collection are eliminated.
As an add on to the Fuel Consumption Monitoring module, the Activity Manager automates data mining for individualised activity fuel consumption to improve work efficiency on-board Offshore Support Vessels. Through a customised selection of activities on the application, the platform accurately collects data to present a full overview of each vessel’s performance and efficiency. Users and fleet owners are able to improve work efficiency with significantly reduced man-hours needed for manual data collections.
Geo-fencing involves the creation of a virtual fence according to a user’s defined set of geographical boundaries. Using the global positioning system (GPS), users are notified about their vessels’ exact position and if they stay within the defined boundaries, together with other location-specific information like weather conditions.
Having a robust, scalable platform like the Geo-fencing module helps ship owners and operators gain visibility of fleet movement to make informed operation decisions. With its easy-to-use features, the application enables better fleet management with real-time location-based information of vessels.
Depending on the sensors available on-board, the ROB can be consolidated using the inlet and outlet flow measurement. When a tank level sensor is available, it provides accurate measurement of the remaining on-board.

Samsung launched its Odyssey series of gaming laptops last year. While they look like nice machines, the graphics options topped out at a GeForce GTX 1050, probably leaving some gamers unsatified. The company's latest gaming laptop, the Odyssey Z, takes a leap toward high-end gaming performance by stepping up to a GeForce GTX 1060.
The GeForce in question has 6 GB of GDDR5 memory. Samsung calls it a "Max-P" variation, but we checked in with Nvidia and were told that that's not an official designation—it's just a regular GTX 1060. The graphics chip is paired with a six-core Core i7 CPU that must be either a Core i7-8750H or a Core i7-8850H. That's a not a poor pairing for a laptop that's only 0.7" (18 mm) thick.
All that hardware stays cool thanks to a custom design that Samsung calls Z AeroFlow. Two "Z Blade" blowers are fed by intakes on the bottom and top of the machine and shove air across a vapor chamber venting out the notebook's sides. Given the amount of airflow on hand, this machine likely isn't quiet, but Samsung says there's a silent mode available via a shortcut key that will limit fan noise to sub-audible levels.
In a machine with this kind of power we'd like to see a 144 Hz display, but Samsung doesn't specify anything beyond that it's a 15.6" screen with 1920×1080 resolution. The system will be sold with up to 16 GB of DDR4 memory, and storage options are exclusively NVMe SSDs up to 1 TB in capacity. The press release doesn't spare any words for the Odyssey Z's battery life, but given the hardware on offer and the 54-WHr juice pack, we'd expect it to be reasonable outside of gaming workloads.
External connectivity on the Odyssey Z comprises a USB 3.0 Type-C port, two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, a USB 2.0 connector, an HDMI output, and a 3.5-mm headphone-mic combo jack. The images also show an Ethernet port, even though Samsung doesn't list it in the Odyssey Z's specifications. The company didn't talk pricing, but says that its fastest gaming laptop to date will be available in the US in the third quarter of this year.

FLAME Festival a hot success
Published Monday, 9th April 2018
Fairfield City Council’s inaugural Fairfield Live Art, Music and Eats (FLAME) Festival was a huge success with more than 700 people flooding Fairfield city centre.
The festival, held on Friday 6 April, was developed to promote Western Sydney based performers and activate Fairfield city centre, allowing visitors to hear live music and enjoy delicious international fare.
“Council partnered with nine local businesses to deliver an exciting festival that showcased Western Sydney’s talented community in one brilliant evening for locals and visitors,” Mayor of Fairfield City Frank Carbone said.
“There was an amazing turnout to FLAME Festival, with more than 700 attendees who received a taste of our City’s outstanding cultural diversity and enjoyed great live music and delicious international cuisine.”
“Festival staff and volunteers also received positive feedback from visitors, performing artists and venue owners. Council and I are incredibly proud of this outcome.”
Mayor Carbone said the festival was made possible through the participation of Fairfield businesses and support of volunteers.
“Council and I wish to thank all who participated and helped shape FLAME Festival’s success, including participating venues, performers, volunteers and crew,” he said.
“Our festivals are a great way for the community to come together and enjoy our local talents and cultures. I am pleased Council continues to deliver these great events and showcase Fairfield City’s diversity.”
FLAME Festival was made possible through funding from Create NSW on behalf of the NSW State Government, in partnership with the Live Music Office.
Participating venues included Aladin Sweets, The Crescent Hotel, The Crescent Plaza, De Mustachio, Fairfield Hotel (and Green Peppercorn restaurant), Frank's Lebanese, Kebab Abu Ali, Lost in Books, Seven/Ten Split Bowling.

The Body of Evidence
Contrary to statements often made in the popular media, the collective research demonstrates that the cardiovascular effects of cocoa flavanols are independent of general "antioxidant" effects that cocoa flavanols exhibit in a test tube, outside of the body. While research aimed at studying the potential role of cocoa flavanols in the context of blood vessel and circulatory function continues, a number of previously published studies already suggest that the consumption of cocoa flavanols can have important beneficial effects on the function of the bodys network of blood vessels. The body of research not only suggests that cocoa flavanols may provide a dietary approach to maintaining cardiovascular function and health, but also points at new possibilities for cocoa flavanol-based interventions for vascular complications associated with cognitive performance, skin health and age-related blood vessel dysfunction.
Future Cocoa Flavanol Research Directions
For more than 15 years, Mars, Incorporated has conducted and/or supported a significant portion of the research undertaken in the field of cocoa flavanols and reported new insights in peer-reviewed scientific literature. Working in collaboration with top research institutions around the world, Mars, Incorporated continues to lead the way in exploring the nutritional and medical potential of cocoa flavanols.
Mars commitment to rigorous scientific research of cocoa and flavanols is evidenced by more than 100 peer-reviewed research publications and more than 80 patents held by the company. Mars also developed and patented the breakthrough process called Cocoapro that helps retain more of the naturally occurring flavanols in cocoa. The clinical cocoa powders made using the Mars Cocoapro process are thoroughly characterized in terms of nutrient content, as well as standardized with respect

I read today that only 4% of all women in the world consider themselves beautiful. The statistic stung staying with me. The remaining 96% do not like their nose, their ears, their thighs, or their legs. 86% feel fat, and more than a third are on a constant diet. A quarter will develop an eating disorder, 20% will die of it.
The world is full of girls and women that it does not see. Starving, binging, purging, exercising, sucking in stomachs, covering scars, nibbling on salads, digging into ice cream tubs, counting calories, fearful of numbers on scales. Avoiding mirrors, crying in front of them. Painting nails, cheeks, and smiles on any given night only to wipe them off the following morning.
Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera had one of the most tempestuous romances in the history of the art world, loving each other ferociously through a twenty-year age difference and multiple affairs. It transpired through their photographs, letters, and art, but perhaps most in the portrait she sketched of him. “I’d like to paint you, but there are no colors, because there are so many, in my confusion, the tangible form of my great love. Nothing compares to your hands, nothing like the green-gold of your eyes,” she said.
Rivera was a balding, overweight, old man, and the world saw him as such. He was not even remotely beautiful. But Kahlo saw beauty in him and said, “in all of you is a space full of sounds — in the shade and in the light”. She called him auxochrome: the one who captures color. Isn’t that beautiful, to think of your beloved in hues of color.
I wish I could tell the 96% of women who doubt their looks, that they are not insignificant; for centuries women have inspired paintings and poems and stories and songs. They have been the subject of masterpieces. Art is beauty, and therefore they as women are beautiful.

Thailand's Election Commission has proposed to delay the re-run of last month's general election until October.
The opposition boycotted the 2 April election
The commission suggested 22 October as a suitable date, after holding talks with politicians from various parties.
The government still has to officially agree to this date, although its representative at the meeting raised no objection.
April's poll was annulled last week by the Constitutional Court because it was boycotted by the main opposition.
There had been increasing calls for the results to be nullified, because this had meant the governing Thai Rak Thai party easily won.
The BBC correspondent in Bangkok, Jonathan Head, says the new date is likely to be acceptable to the opposition Democrats, who now have enough time to persuade factions within the governing party to change sides.
Despite strong pressure on the four election commissioners to resign over the alleged mishandling of last month's ballot, they insisted on fulfilling their role under the constitution by picking the date of the new election.
The main opposition parties refused to attend Monday morning's meeting with the commission, which they accuse of consistently favouring Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
But, according to our correspondent, they will probably be happy with the date it is now proposing.
Time to plan
A 22 October election gives them plenty of time to devise a strategy for matching the formidable election machine of Mr Thaksin's Thai Rak Thai party.
Perhaps more importantly, it also gives them the opportunity to persuade some of the factions inside Thai Rak Thai to defect, for which they have to give 90 days notice.
If the Thai Cabinet approves this date, it would leave Thailand without a parliament for another five months.
But this political crisis has passed off remarkably peacefully so far.
Although no one is quite sure who is running the country right now, it seems Thailand can afford a long wait to make sure the next election does produce a government which is acceptable to all, our correspondent says.

Situated between Barnsley and Doncaster, five or ten miles off of the M1, Old Moor is a recent addition to the RSPB's fleet of reserves and this was my first visit.
Immediate impressions were that it's been developed with families in mind. This isn't one of those quieter reserves with a hut for a reception and long pathways to the hides. There's a sizeable shop, cafe upstairs, picnic area, even an adventure playground for the kids. I'm quite certain some birding snobs would feel it's an affront to their sedate pastime, however, the number of kids enjoying a day at the reserve and getting excited about the birds, leaves me inclined to welcome the direction the RSPB have taken at Old Moor. Even if it meant fanciful claims about Red-Throated Diver and Jack Snipe, if only they were true!
The hides are tidy and even at a busy time in the summer holidays we found space to sit with a scope. They overlook open lakes, marshland, reedbeds and grassland too, with plenty of wet mud to attract passing waders.
Star bird on my visit was a Little Egret, which don't number greatly this far north, and a Wood Sandpiper was also a nice find, as was an early Curlew Sandpiper.

Dingdong Avanzado's 2002 release on Star Records, Here to Stay, contains some fine easy listening and middle-of-the-road music. The songs are more distinctive than heard on most Philippine-made easy listening albums. For example, his own "best of" collection for EMI Philippines, entitled The Story of Dingdong Avanzado, contains mostly bland, derivative material. In contrast, the ballads on Here to Stay sound modern, although two songs, "Walang Kapalit" (No Replacement) and "Ikaw" (You), are of the derivative type. Here to Stay contains 12 songs, of which only one, "Just Because," is upbeat. However, the material is distinctive enough that the album doesn't suffer much from the lack of diversity. The songs have depth, and are also touched by tenderness and sincerity. The songwriting is uniformly excellent, which contributes to the album's enjoyment. Most songs are by Philippine composers, and one, "I Don't Want You to Go," is by a Western composer. Dingdong Avanzado has a fine, versatile voice, and puts it to good use throughout the album. Highlights include "Love Is Here to Stay"; "Paalam Na" (Goodbye Now), which features enchanting piano and cello; and the mesmerizing "You're Still Here." The dance-inflected "Just Because" is also a winner and shows that Dingdong Avanzado can handle adventurous material.

Sometimes saving water around the garden is as simple as turning off the hose.
“We get more plants that are killed by overwatering than anything else,” said Patty Cordero with Armstrong Garden Center.
She said people are often watering more than necessary. That’s why the popular San Diego nursery is giving homeowners tips to save water around the yard.
The first tip is to watch when you water. Cordero said it is best to water early in the morning and not water between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. She said it is more efficient to water during the early morning hours.
And when you water, it’s best to water deeper, not more often. In other words, you can increase your watering time, but not water as many days of the week. A moisture meter can tell you if the water is still wet around a plant.
For some plants, you may have to dig down and see if the root ball is still wet. If you are seeing burnt edges at the end of the plant, that may be from not watering deep enough because of a salt build up.
Another tip is to put mulch around your trees, plants and garden. A good bark cover or mulch, “keep the moisture in and they help keep the weeds down,” said Cordero.
New California water restrictions ban watering down sidewalks and driveways. There is also no more washing a car or boat without a shut-off nozzle on the hose. Cordero said that's also a must when watering around the house.
“Don’t have water just going willy-nilly all over the place,” said Cordero. “Get a handle on that, get a nozzle or get a watering want.”

The easy, simple and rapid spectrophotometric method (simultaneous equation method) have been generate for Halobetasol and Tazarotene drugs. These drugs are available in the form of gel, lotion, creams etc. The absorbance spectrum (?-max) of Halobetasol propionate was found to be 238nm and Tazarotene was found to be 352nm. The linearity of both Halobetasol and Tazarotene was found between 2-10µg/mL. The precision as well as accuracy of the developed method was performed statically. The reproducibility of the developed method was good, whereas recovery in %RSD is less than 1. From the analytical and statistical data of this developed method, it was concluded that this method is useful for laboratory spectrophotometric analysis of Halobetasol and Tazarotene from given formulation samples. The aim of doing this research work is due to the combination formulation phase-3 trial is in progress for both of these drugs. The Halobetasol is topical corticosteroid whereas Tazarotene is third generation topical retinoid. The purpose of the combinational formulation is to develop potent treatment for skin diseases like psoriasis. To decrease or avoiding the adverse effects of Halobetasol like skin roughness, skin dryness, itching, Tazarotene was selected in combination because of its counter effects on the adverse effect of Halobetasol.

Former CIA agent John Kiriakou pleaded guilty on Tuesday to crimes related to exposing the Bush administration's illegal torture of suspected terrorists. Kiriakou was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison, reports the Wall Street Journal.
Kiriakou agreed to admit to one count of disclosing information identifying a covert agent, early Tuesday, just hours after his attorney entered a change of plea in an Alexandria, Virginia courtroom.
Kiriakou was originally charged under the Espionage Act of 1917 after he went public with the CIA's use of waterboarding on terrorist suspects after September 11, 2001 attack.
If Kiriakou been convicted under the initial charges filed in court by the Bush Justice Department, he could have been sentenced to upwards of five decades in jail, reports the Wall Street Journal.
The CIA agents who particpated in torture of suspects were not charged with any crimes.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, a former government official told the activist website Firedoglake.com recently that the CIA was “totally ticked at Kiriakou for acknowledging the use of torture as state policy."
President Bush often publicly denied that torture took place during his administration, which turned out not to be the case.

It’s been just over a week since the LA JUNTA crew and I made our way up to Fresno, CA for our guest gig at PINCHE, the signature dance music event produced by the DULCE UP-FRONT team. In honor of us joining them for the evening, the DUF producers titled the event “LA PINCHE JUNTA”. Multimedia is the name of the game at Pinche and most DUF events. Live painting, a poetry hour, live music, and deejays all create their art together in the same space. The La Junta gang walked into Pinche’s amazing venue Fulton 55, which looked just as much as a community center as it did a lounge, and the collective and collaborative spirit of the Dulce team made us feel like we were part of a grassroots phenomenon. And I think this is exactly the case! FRESNO IS ON THE MAP!!
HUGE THANKS AND RESPECT to Dulce Up-Front’s OMÉdj, art director ABBY JANZEN, DAWN-MARIE LUNA, MR. LEONARD, JOE OSEJO PHOTOGRAPHY and the staff at FULTON 55 for treating us with such care, hospitality and friendliness! Check out the photos in this slideshow:

Professor Heather van der Lely, director of the Centre for Developmental Language Disorders and Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London has developed a test to identify dyslexia.
Called GAPS (Grammar and Phonology Screening), the test screens for a range of language disorders, including dyslexia, by assessing grammatical and pre-reading skills.
More than half a million children suffer from a language problem and about ten per cent of the British population is believed to have dyslexia. Around 375,000 children in Britain are severely dyslexic.
Dyslexia makes learning to read, write, spell and do mathematics difficult. An inability to concentrate and a lack of short-term memory are also symptoms.
Says van de Lely, "What really motivated me was seeing first-hand how failing to diagnose these problems was blighting so many young lives.
"Yet in most cases, once diagnosed, these language disorders can be helped or overcome with the right treatments and professional help."
A pilot project is currently being carried out at Aberdeen University to help trainee teachers to spot dyslexia in young pupils.
THE GAPS test which will cost fifty pounds, takes about ten minutes and features a cartoon character, an alien called Bik.
The child repeats a small set of sentences and made-up words to the alien. The two tasks measure two fundamental elements of language - grammar and the ability to construct words using sounds.
The score indicates whether the child is using language at a level typical for his or her age.

Matterofprayer: A Year of Everyday Prayers – Wednesday, July 29, 2015
As God Is My Witness
For those who are following along at home, I just went to the New Wilmington Mission Conference last week. I had a marvelous time! I had been waiting to see what speakers would be there, but I think—on the whole—that another round of belief in Jesus, too, can prove to be life-changing. Sending each other out, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the book Praying the New Testament as Psalms, I noticed several excellent verses in the modern psalm. My current favorite comes from John 5: “Thank You, God, for the gift of the Scriptures,/testifying to Jesus and giving me life.”  Wow. Powerful!
I not only testify about my Lord Jesus, but I also have the gift of the Scriptures! Not to mention the ability to read the Scriptures, which many women today do not have. Many women—many people in general today—are either functionally illiterate, or totally illiterate. God, thank You so much for the gift of being able to read! Thank You so much about the blessing of being able to read Your word.
Dear Lord, I praise Your name. Dear Lord, in Your mercy, hear all of our prayers.
Like what you read? Disagree? Share your thoughts with your loved ones and continue the conversation.

The XBee already provided us with the needed ad-hoc network structure. Additionally, several other developers have documented their experience using XBees in conjunction with Arduino, allowing us to skip some common development pitfalls.
Examples of other Arduino – XBee projects are the ArduinoXbeeShield, created by Arduino together with Libelium, who use the board in their SquidMotes, a predecessor of the WaspMotes. Both the XBeeShield and the WaspMotes are considerably larger than our board design for the SenseStage MiniBee. Another example is the Arduino XBee Interface Circuit (AXIC) , which is a do-it-yourself solution. BlushingBoy sells the MiniBee R3 and MicroBee R3, which can be used together with an Arduino Mini. More recently the RFBee has come out combining an RF radio with an Atmel chip, which is Arduino and XBee compatible. Also recently, the Arduino Fio provides an Arduino with XBee footprint.
For our usage we have found the following:
- The XBee Series 1, 2.4 GHz, are the most useful, both in the regular version and in the Pro version
- Problems with the Series 2 are that they don’t support the same kind of mesh networking
- The 900 MHz range XBees have an altogether different set of firmware, which requires a different configuration that we have used thusfar
- When the Arduino starts up, the XBee should be in sleep mode, as otherwise serial data communication already happening in the mesh network, may interfer with the startup of the Arduino (it will think it is receiving new firmware through the bootloader). For this reason, we are using the Pin Doze option of the XBee, and wake up the XBee as soon as we are starting up the firmware.

Introducing Peptide Blend GHRP-6 and CJC-1295 No Dac
Introducing a potent peptide blend that has been capturing attention: GHRP-6 and CJC-1295 No Dac. These peptides pack a powerful punch in the realms of growth hormone production, muscle development, and fat loss. But wait, there’s more! Get ready to unlock the secrets of these fascinating peptides!
You can buy high quality peptide blend GHRP-6 and CJC-1295 no DAC from Direct Sarms America online.
Importance of GHRP-6
GHRP-6, or Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6, is a synthetic peptide that works by stimulating the pituitary gland to produce and release growth hormone. Studies suggest this leads to an increase in lean body mass, accelerated fat loss, and enhanced muscle recovery, making it a popular choice among athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Explore GHRP-6 from Direct Sarms America online today!
Relevance of CJC-1295 No Dac
CJC-1295 No Dac, on the other hand, is a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analogue that boosts the body’s natural production of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Its long-lasting effects make it a preferred option for those seeking sustained growth hormone release, contributing to various health and anti-aging benefits. America Research suggests combining these peptides presents an opportunity to maximize their individual benefits while potentially mitigating their drawbacks. Discover CJC-1295 no DAC from Direct Sarms America online today!
GHRP-6, scientifically known as Growth Hormone Releasing Hexapeptide, is a synthetic met-enkephalin analogue comprising of six amino acids. Let’s delve into the science of how GHRP-6 operates, its common uses, and the benefits it provides.
The Science Behind How GHRP-6 Works
GHRP-6 works by stimulating the anterior pituitary gland, leading to an increase in the release of growth hormones in the body. It achieves this by blocking the hormone somatostatin, which generally inhibits growth hormone release. Additionally, America studies show that GHRP-6 promotes the production of ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates appetite and aids in energy metabolism.
Common Uses of GHRP-6
- Athletic Performance: GHRP-6 is popular among bodybuilders and athletes for its ability to stimulate muscle growth and aid in recovery after strenuous workouts.
- Anti-Aging: Recognition of the role of growth hormones in maintaining youthful skin and energy levels has led to the use of GHRP-6 in anti-aging treatments.
- Weight Management: The appetite-stimulating properties of GHRP-6 can be beneficial for individuals struggling with inadequate nutritional intake or weight gain.
Benefits of GHRP-6
- Stimulates Growth Hormone Release: GHRP-6 effectively boosts the production and release of growth hormones in the body, contributing to muscle growth and recovery.
- Aids in Fat Loss: By shifting fuel preference to fat, GHRP-6 can assist in promoting fat loss.
- Helps in Recovery: GHRP-6 plays a key role in speeding up recovery from injuries and workouts, reducing downtime and boosting overall performance.
- Enhances Sleep: As growth hormone release is linked to deep sleep, GHRP-6 can contribute to improved sleep quality.
Unravelling CJC-1295 No Dac
CJC-1295 No Dac is a powerful synthetic peptide known for its ability to stimulate the release of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) from the hypothalamus. It is a modified form of the first 29 amino acids of GHRH, with unique properties that make it longer-lasting and more potent.
The Scientific Workings of CJC-1295 No Dac
CJC-1295 No Dac works by stimulating the pituitary gland, resulting in an increased release of growth hormone into the bloodstream. It achieves this by binding to receptors on the pituitary gland, which triggers the release of GHRH. Unlike the natural form of GHRH, CJC-1295 No Dac is not affected by the negative feedback loop that usually limits the amount of hormone that can be released, resulting in a more prolonged and sustained release of growth hormone.
Typical Uses of CJC-1295 No Dac
- Performance Enhancement: Due to its ability to stimulate growth hormone release, CJC-1295 No Dac is commonly used by athletes to improve performance, enhance muscle growth and expedite recovery time.
- Weight Loss: CJC-1295 No Dac aids in fat loss by promoting muscle growth, which America studies indicate increases the body’s metabolic rate and fat-burning capacity.
- Anti-aging: The release of growth hormone has been associated with several anti-aging benefits, making CJC-1295 No Dac a popular choice for anti-aging treatments.
Advantages of CJC-1295 No Dac
- Sustained Release of Growth Hormone: CJC-1295 No Dac offers prolonged and consistent growth hormone release, unlike natural GHRH, which is quickly broken down in the body.
- Improved Recovery: The increased growth hormone levels stimulated by CJC-1295 No Dac can hasten recovery from injuries and strenuous workouts.
- Enhanced Muscle Growth: CJC-1295 No Dac aids in protein synthesis and muscle tissue growth, contributing to improved body composition and athletic performance.
- Potential Anti-Aging Benefits: The increased growth hormone release stimulated by CJC-1295 No Dac may contribute to a more youthful appearance, including improved skin tone and texture.
The Potent Blend of GHRP-6 and CJC-1295 No Dac
Reasoning Behind Combining GHRP-6 and CJC-1295 No Dac
The primary reason for combining GHRP-6 and CJC-1295 No Dac is to capitalise on the synergistic effects of both peptides. When used independently, both peptides stimulate the release of growth hormone, but when combined, America research suggests they can offer a more potent and sustained release. This is because GHRP-6 effectively increases the pulse frequency of growth hormone release, while CJC-1295 No Dac extends the duration of each pulse. This combination thereby maximises the total amount of growth hormone released within a given period.
Benefits of Using the GHRP-6 and CJC-1295 No Dac Blend Over Standalone Use
- Enhanced Efficacy: The combined administration of GHRP-6 and CJC-1295 No Dac results in a synergistic effect, leading to significantly higher growth hormone release than either peptide alone.
- Prolonged Activity: The blend ensures both a greater frequency of pulses (via GHRP-6) and a longer duration for each pulse (via CJC-1295 No Dac), resulting in a longer period of effectiveness.
- Optimised Results: The combined use allows researchers to capitalise on the unique benefits of each peptide, offering optimised results in muscle growth, fat loss, recovery, and potential anti-aging effects.
Potential Side Effects and Precautions
As with any peptide treatment, the use of GHRP-6 and CJC-1295 No Dac blend should be approached with caution due to potential side effects. These may include:
- Water Retention: Some patients report mild to moderate water retention, particularly during the first few weeks of use.
- Increased Hunger: GHRP-6, in particular, is known to stimulate appetite, which could lead to increased caloric intake. This should be managed effectively through mindful eating.
- Hypoglycemia: The blend could potentially lower blood sugar levels. Researchers should use caution with this blend with patients that have diabetes or are prone to hypoglycemia.
- Injection Site Reactions: Some patients may experience pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site. This is usually temporary and can be managed with proper injection techniques.
In conclusion, the strategic blending of GHRP-6 and CJC-1295 No Dac presents an exciting area of research, offering a host of benefits from enhancing muscle growth and fat loss to expediting recovery and delivering potential anti-aging effects. The synergistic effect of the two peptides provides a more potent and sustained release of growth hormones, maximising the effectiveness of the blend over standalone use.
Though promising, it’s critical to consider potential side effects such as water retention, increased hunger, hypoglycemia, and injection site reactions. Users should approach the use of this blend with caution, always prioritising professional advice and maintaining a balanced lifestyle alongside the treatment.
Moving forward, further research would do well to continue investigating the blend’s potential, offering a more comprehensive understanding of its capabilities and restrictions. Always remember, while this blend may aid in achieving physical goals or addressing certain issues, it should never replace a balanced diet, adequate rest, and regular exercise.

I've owned just about every scope a fella can purchase. I now only have Leupold's. They can be a bit pricey, but I suggest you buy as much scope as you can afford. They are a lot more important than one might think.
I like the Leupold Vari-X III. You can get the bigger objective (50 mm,) but you lose a bit in sighting. Although, I've never had a problem with mine. I love it and I have it on my .300 magnum. My .270 and my wife's .243 both have a 40 mm objective as well. With that being said, you can really tell the difference between them in low light conditions. That 50 mm objective really draws a lot of light.
I just don't think the slight advantage that the European scopes have is worth the extra money. Admittedly, they are better, but not enough to warrant several hundred dollars more. However, if I was independently wealthy, I'd probably have top of the line European scopes on my rifles.
Lastly, I would suggest that you go to one of the larger places that sell scopes and look through several and compare prices and clarity. That way you'll get the best comparison.
I'm with Wheland on this one--I own about 9 Leupold's and am buying 2 more tomorrow--They are a bit more than some but are made in USA and they answer their phone in English( no push one for Eng.) and their technical folks can answer most any question in a manner iIcan understand- they also stand behind their products and will repalce any that go south for any reason- I like the variX 111 but have a couple of VariX 11 also- I also have two pairs of their binocs--
How many of you out there keep a journal of your hunting trips or outings? I started to about 20 years ago and then moved them from a journal to a story that I will send out to my friends so that they can enjoy the time as well. I'll aslo put into the journal the scouting trips that go along with the hunts of limited or once in a lifetime hunts.
I have found that if you buy a small notebook that fits into your shirt pocket and take it with you when you head out is the...

|Feeding Tick ©BADA UK|
Bracken control is an important part of moorland management and reducing the area of bracken, which is an ideal habitat for sheep ticks, helps to reduce the spread of Lyme disease; each year it is estimated that around 3,000 people in the UK contract Lyme disease from a tick bite.
The aim of bracken control is to prevent the plant spreading over large areas and smothering other plants. Where this occurs, there can be an economic impact through loss of grazing and a reduction in shooting potential, and the range of plant and animal species present can be reduced. There are virtually no winners and therefore the Trust believes that efforts to control bracken should be encouraged at every opportunity.
The ban on the main chemical control product, Asulam, when it comes into full effect, next year, is very significant and will reduce the ability of landowners and managers to control bracken. The Trust is pleased to have been asked to coordinate the activity of The Bracken Control Group, which will be seeking to find a way to maintain a supply of Asulam until the product can be re-registered for normal use.

“Backgrounds Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, exceeded only by lung cancer in the world
. It is believed that some epidemic factors such as Oral contraceptive use ; obesity  and hyperinsulinemia  are probable factors increasing risks of developing breast carcinoma. Although many individuals exposed to
these risk factors, breast cancer develops only in a small group of exposed people, implying that genetic factors might contribute to the carcinogenic mechanisms and complex interactions between many genetic and environmental factors might be the major cause of breast cancer. Previously, a number of studies indicate that family history is a risk factor for breast cancer , indicating the possible roles for genetic variations on the increased susceptibility to breast cancer. Recent published meta-analyses suggest that polymorphisms of Fok1 , XRCC1 codon 399 and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase might have a significant association with increased breast cancer risk. Nevertheless, conversely, Digestive enzyme some meta-analysis failed to suggest a marked association of increased susceptibility to breast cancer with polymorphisms of some genes, such as Estrogen receptor alpha , CYP1A1  and base-excision repair pathway genes . Recently, a growing body of research has conducted on the association of breast cancer risk with tumour H 89 chemical structure suppressors. TP53, one of the most extensive studied genes as a tumor suppressor, has been thought to have a critical function in cell cycle regulation. In case of its mutation, this regulation could be lost, resulting in cell proliferation without control and development of cancer.

Country? Bluegrass? Funk? What style of music does Austin Nemith play. He doesnt know either. He plays the music that fits his soul with passion and gumption. Please join us for a fun set as the opening act.
"Hey folks….here’s my musical story.
I was born Chris Haddox in Logan, WV in 1960. My first exposure to the type of music I would eventually come around to write and play came from my dad. He was always singing songs that seemed strange to me…turns out they were old folk songs he had heard growing up in rural WV in the 30’s. My other early musical influence was my dad’s older brother—my uncle Jim—a fantastic country blues singer and picker.
My first formal music lessons came on the piano at age 6 and I continued those until age 18. I wrote my first song in the second grade—stealing a few lines from a poem that a fellow classmate wrote about missing his father. As a teen I was influenced by John Prine, Neil Young, John Denver, Kenny Rankin and folks like that. My first year of college I met a guy who played the Dobro and who introduced me to the music of Tony Rice. For the next several years I devoted most of my musical time to bluegrass flatpicking. While in graduate school I happened upon an album of recordings by the Delmore Brothers from the late 20s and early 30s….my life was forever changed by that experience. I quit college and moved to Nashville—determined to make a life as a songwriter. Well…that didn’t quite pan out as expected, despite three healthy stints in Music City. I left Nashville for the last time in the late 80s and have continued to write/perform original songs in the folk/traditional/oldtime, and country veins.
Like most writers, I try to find new ways to address old topics…some songs are funny, some sad, but they are all honest…even the ones that are full of lies.
If any of this strikes your fancy, come on out for a listen!"

This short 1904 book tells of the life and death of David Patten, one of the original apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. As the title indicates, he is known for his death at the Battle of Crooked River during the Missouri persecutions; he was also the guy who ran into Cain on the road, creating those bigfoot theories that persist to this day.
It opens with a letter from Lorenzo Snow, praising Patten in the highest terms and recommending the study of his life:
To the Reader:
All the circumstances of my first and last meeting with Apostle David W. Patten are as clear to my mind as if it were an occurrence of but yesterday, and yet it took place some sixty-four years ago. He appeared to me then to be a remarkable man, and that impression has remained with me ever since.
We traveled together on horseback from my father’s home, at Mantua, Ohio, to Kirtland, a distance of perhaps twenty-five miles, he on his return from some missionary labor, I to commence a course of studies at Oberlin College.
On the way our conversation fell upon religion and philosophy, and being young and having enjoyed some scholastic advantages, I was at first disposed to treat his opinions lightly, especially so as they were not always clothed in grammatical language; but as he proceeded in his earnest and humble way to open up before my mind the plan of salvation, I seemed unable to resist the knowledge that he was a man of God and that his testimony was true. I felt pricked in my heart.
This he evidently perceived, for almost the last thing he said to me, after bearing his testimony, was that I should go to the Lord before retiring at night and ask him for myself. This I did with the result that from the day I met this great Apostle, all my aspirations have been enlarged and heightened immeasurably. This was the turning point in my life.
What impressed me most was his absolute sincerity, his earnestness and his spiritual power; and I believe I cannot do better in this connection than to commend a careful study of his life to the honest in heart everywhere.
Give it a look.
