Believe it or not, the Academy of Country Music Awards have been taking place since 1966. The 52nd annual incarnation of the famed awards show is happening this weekend in Las Vegas and there’s an awful lot of history behind it.
The star-studded affair has played host to a who's who of major players in the country music industry, and, as such, has been responsible for some of the genre's most memorable, historic moments.
From Merle Haggard's inaugural entertainer of the year win in 1970 to Dolly Parton's colorful duet with Katy Perry in 2016, check out eight of the greatest moments from the ACM Awards over the years.
1970 - Merle Haggard Captures the Very First Entertainer of the Year Award
Though the ceremony had been taking place since 1966, the entertainer of the year award trophy wasn't given until 1970, when Merle Haggard took home the honors. In honor of the legendary artist (who passed away at 79 last year) the ACM established the Merle Haggard Spirit Award, with the inaugural honor going to Miranda Lambert at a ceremony in August 2016.
1976 - Loretta Lynn's Entertainer of the Year Award Win
Loretta Lynn made history in 1976 when she became the first woman to win the coveted entertainer of the year trophy. Lynn herself seemed shocked by the win, delivering a heartfelt acceptance speech and telling the crowd, "I'd like to say that I sure am proud, and I want to thank all of you."
1983 - Mr. T Reads the Rules
Celebrity cameos are a dime a dozen at awards shows, but this appearance from Mr. T was one of the ACM's best. The A-Team star took the stage to read the show's rules, an otherwise boring segment made entertaining by the actor's insistence that he's "the boss."
1994 - Alan Jackson's Epic Protest
Alan Jackson made headlines at the 29th annual ACM Awards in 1994 when he made no effort to conceal his anger at the producers' insistence he perform to a pre-recorded track rather than live with his band. For his performance of "Gone Country," he donned a Hank Williams T-shirt -- which may not look out of place now, but was taboo at the time -- and had his drummer pretend to play with no sticks in his hands.
1997 - LeAnn Rimes Rakes Top New Female Vocalist
1997 was a huge year for LeAnn Rimes, who, then only 15, was still riding high from the success of her 1996 debut album Blue. She'd win another award that evening, best female country vpcal performance, for that album's title track.
2003 - The ACM Awards Hit Vegas for the First Time
By now, the ACM Awards are synonymous with Vegas, but that wasn't always the case. The show moved from Los Angeles to Sin City in 2003, initially broadcasting from Mandalay Bay Events Center. That same year, George Strait treated the Las Vegas audience to a special medley of hits in celebration of his 50th number one song.
2013 - Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert's Emotional Wins For "Over You"
Ex-husband-and-wife pair Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton joined forces to write "Over You," a song on Lambert's 2011 album Four the Record that was inspired by the unexpected death of Shelton's older brother. When the song won song of the year in 2013, the two accepted the award together in what became one of the show's most emotional moments to date.
2016 - Dolly Parton's Performance With Katy Perry
Dolly Parton recruited Katy Perry to celebrate her historic catalog at the 2016 ceremony, with the pair performing a medley that included "Coat of Many Colors," "Jolene," and "9 to 5." Perry would later present Parton with the Tex Ritter Award for Parton's 2015 NBC television movie, Coat of Many Colors.

Luke Bryan, jokingly, gets political about ACM Awards
The Academy of Country Music Awards will unite Democrats and Republicans, according to Luke Bryan, the show's host and a part-time comedian.
The country star, hosting Sunday's show for the fifth straight year, joked — as usual — about his duties at the country music party held annually in Las Vegas.
"Democrats and Republicans are going to get along on Sunday night. They're all going to watch the ACMs together and stuff's going to start happening in this country. It's going to change," Bryan said in an interview with The Associated Press. "Cats and dogs are going to make out."
"Coming to an election near you. Is politics your next career?" chimed in fellow country singer Dierks Bentley, who will co-host with Bryan.
"Yes," Bryan replied.
ACM Awards 2017: Red carpet arrivals
The 2017 Academy of Country Music Awards are here!
Country's Party of the Year will air on CBS on Sunday, April 2 at 8 p.m. EST, and the 52nd annual award show will be hosted by country superstars Luke Bryan and Dierks Bentley.
Country music's biggest names descended upon the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for the big night, including scheduled appearances from Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town and Kelsea Ballerini.
Florida Georgia Line and the Backstreet Boys are set to perform together, as well, in one of the night's most highly-anticipated moments.
On the red carpet, Jessie James Decker and her husband, Eric, were one of the earliest notable arrivals, and they didn't disappoint. Jessie stunned in a skin-baring, beaded gown with a thigh-high slit and plunging neckline that showed off her undergarments. She paired the sheer ensemble with a high-pony.

DEIRDRE HAYES will not allow one heavy defeat to divert her side from this season’s detailed blueprint for long-term success.
The Team Northumbria playcaller has worked tirelessly during the summer to recruit a roster capable of mounting a top-four challenge.
Hayes remains focused on finding the winning formula despite a crushing 87-40 defeat to Sheffield Hatters.
She said: “Unfortunately we just were not good enough on the day, but we can use the Sheffield game to gauge our weaknesses and work towards the next game.
“The match did not go to plan and it was difficult playing one of the top teams in the country, but we need to move on now. We needed four players in double figures but we only had two.
“We have two new players who are still trying to get used to our system and we are getting used to them too.
“The shooting was not good enough and it was inconsistent. Our little mistakes against a team of that calibre showed on the day.”
New signing Cat Carr struggled in the face of Sheffield pressure to turn the ball over seven times in 40 minutes and shoot just 25% from the floor.
The hosts would have been cut even further adrift without a TN-high 20 points and nine rebounds from homecourt favourite Ta’yani Clark.
TN return to action on November 5 with an eagerly-awaited first derby clash of the season at neighbours Durham Wildcats.

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. (Nasdaq: GT) is touting "increased grip, stability and durability" with its rubber technology — for feet.
The Akron-based company announced Wednesday, Feb. 26, that it has begun a collaboration with popular shoemaker Skechers (NYSE: SKK). The California-based shoe company it says will bring Goodyear's rubber technology to a broad swath of Skechers shoes.
"This collaboration is an example of two trusted brands coming together to create a high-tech product that will truly benefit our consumer," said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers, in a news release. "Through this effort, select products will feature Goodyear Performance Outsoles, offering that extra edge where it's needed most — be it enhanced stability on a run, excellent grip over slippery surfaces in the workplace or durability on the playground for long-lasting wear."
Goodyear communications specialist Julia Ish said via email that the company created a special polymer just for Skechers, but does not participate in the manufacturing of the outsoles itself.
Goodyear doesn't actually make shoe components. The famous Goodyear welt was invented in 1869, nearly 30 years before the company existed. Its creator was Charles Goodyear Jr., for whose father tiremaker founder Frank Seiberling later named his company.
Goodyear will license its technology to Skechers in the collaboration, said Ed Markey, Goodyear vice president of communications.
The two companies said Skechers shoes will use Goodyear-developed rubber technology that contains a special polymer that includes soybean oil, a renewable, bio-based material Goodyear uses in some of its top-performing tires.
"Goodyear has always worked to create innovative products that provide consumers with high-performance tires, and now we're using that same ingenuity to enable consumers to wear high-performance shoes," said Christian Jurado, Goodyear's global director of licensed products, in a statement.
Initially launched on three running shoes, Goodyear outsoles will expand to a wide array of Skechers sneakers through 2020, the shoemaker said.


The Function of a Vertical Milling Machine. The milling machine is the workhorse of the machine shop. In essence, a vertical mill is like a drill press except it is fitted with sturdy bearings capable of handling side as well as end loads. Normally up to 85% of machining jobs will require a mill rather than a lathe.
The vertical mill has a vertically arranged spindle axis and rotate by staying at the same axis. The spindle can also be extended and performing functions such as drilling and cutting. Vertical mill has got two further categories as well turret mill and bed mill.
It is the part of a machine that holds the workpiece while machining. This is made of cast iron and has T-slot cut over it. This provides vertical motion by moving the knee up and down. It provides horizontal motion by the feed screw. This provides a horizontal (transverse) motion by moving the saddle. Overhanging arm
In vertical mills, milling cutters with solid shafts are usually used. End mills are designed for cutting slots, keyways and pockets. Two fluted end mills can be used to plunge into work like a drill. Ball end mills can produce a fillet. to produce a variety of features including round edges. An Assortment of Milling Cutters
Straddle milling is the operation of producing a flat vertical surface on both sides of a workpiece by using two side milling cutters mounted on the same arbor.

What Happens After a Sexual Assault?
Sexual abuse, including rape or other activities without sexual consent, can cause post-traumatic stress disorder and similar conditions. Its effects can last for months or years. But what exactly happens after a sexual assault?
Overall, sexual harassment can significantly harm the survivor’s physical, psychological, and sexual health. The effects can also change the survivor’s behavior. They can make it incredibly difficult for victims to continue with their normal lives.
Survivors often require long therapy sessions or medical care. While many victims respond differently after an assault, this article will analyze some of the most common side-effects experienced by the majority of survivors.
Other Psychological Effects
Primarily, survivors will feel high degrees of distress and shock. The trauma can take a toll on their mind and bodies. This could be followed by a range of uncontrollable emotions. That includes fear, anxiety, anger, sadness, and even guilt.
Moreover, survivors are likely to develop PTSD and suffer from some of its symptoms. They could witness recurring nightmares or painful memories. Most likely, the victims will enter a state of high alertness. Besides PTSD, survivors of sexual assault could develop the following disorders:
There are three main types of eating disorders, and they are often linked to PTSD. That includes Binge-eating disorder, Anorexia nervosa, and Bulimia nervosa. However, researchers find it difficult to determine a direct link between eating disorders and assault.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Approximately one in six survivors develop GAD. Experts believe that stress and worry are the main culprits. Since most survivors exhibit heightened emotional responses, they can experience GAD if they lose control of their worries. Some survivors could even turn GAD into a coping mechanism.
Depression is commonly linked to PTSD. It has around ten common symptoms. That includes feelings of worthlessness or loss of interest. People can witness substantial changes in their normal functioning if they feel five symptoms within two weeks of an assault.
Research shows that victims are 30% more likely to develop OCD within 12 months. Most studies agree that survivors develop OCD as a coping mechanism for related memories and symptoms.
Substance Use Disorders
Over 45% of lifetime PTSD patients contract a substance abuse disorder and become reliant on alcohol or drugs.
Victims can suffer from physical injuries like bruises or bites on their body or their genitals. They could also contract urinary infections, sexually transmitted infections, or suffer from internal bleeding.
There are many long-term physical symptoms that happen after sexual abuse. The most common are high blood pressure, poor sleep quality, high triglycerides, and fatigue. Additionally, if survivors develop conditions like PTSD or depression, the symptoms will impact their physical health. Victims of rape and substantial physical trauma can also experience the following symptoms:
- Arthritis — Studies have found some links between emotional stressors and arthritis, especially among childhood abuse victims.
- Chronic pelvic pain — Nearly 40% of patients who suffer from chronic pelvic pain are assault victims.
- Digestive problems — Studies also show that over 90% of assault cases are followed by abdominal pain. Abuse has also been linked to chronic gastrointestinal illnesses and disorders.
- Intense premenstrual symptoms — Experts also believe that trauma increases the likelihood of heightened PMS symptoms. That includes intense mood swings, headaches, irritability, stomach pain, etc.
- Non-epileptic seizures — Also known as PNES, this condition is defined as a psychological seizure that lacks the symptoms of epilepsy. It is common among children and women.
Assault can significantly disrupt the sexual health of almost any survivor. The most common side-effect is the inability to enjoy sex. As mentioned, most victims contract anxiety, pain, fear, and shame. These feelings can manifest whenever a survivor engages in sexual activity again.
In most instances, survivors will suffer from low or non-existent libido. Experts believe that victims who were penetrated will feel those effects the most. Sexual assault can also lead to serious sexual problems and an increased likelihood of contracting an STI.
The victims could experience long-term behavioral changes, including an increased state of fear. For example, survivors could avoid any type of violence shown in the media. They could also avoid discussions about their own trauma. Unfortunately, the recovery period truly has no timeline. The psychological distress and the behavioral effects could last for weeks, months, years, or even decades.
Furthermore, some sexual assault survivors are likely to seek out alternative coping methods. That could include substance abuse or social isolation. In rare instances, victims can also seek out risky sexual activities that remind them of their trauma.
Some survivors can get through their trauma quickly without any emotional support. However, this is incredibly uncommon. Sadly, the effects of sexual trauma can last a long time. If left untreated, the side-effects can even get worse. There are several treatment options that can help survivors of sexual abuse. For the most part, the treatments focus on reducing the negative symptoms of the trauma.
Firstly, cognitive processing therapy has proven to be a highly effective method. It aims to reduce the symptoms caused by PTSD. The treatment focuses on 12 sessions guided by specially trained experts. Here, patients can learn to question their negative symptoms and eradicate them.
Secondly, prolonged exposure therapy is another approach. It is split into two stages: in vivo and imaginal exposures. The former challenges the patient to confront the things that remind them of their trauma. The latter focuses on “retelling” the trauma to enable the patient to process it objectively.
If you or someone you know has been a victim of rape or sexual assault, the most effective way to recover is to get help from trained professionals. They can help you minimize the psychological and physical effects of assault over time.
Most importantly, you shouldn’t blame yourself for what happened. The best way to move forward is to reach out, get help, and start healing.

Your car does a lot for you have to care for. You might not know as much about cars to feel comfortable servicing small repairs.This article is intended to help provide a little more confidence in your abilities and teach you the place to start.
Before allowing them to repair your vehicle, verify that the mechanic has A.S.E. certification. Being A.S.E. certified ensures you that your mechanic has proper training and experience. That means only the best will work on your car.
This certification guarantees that the technician has passed a written test and has over 2 years of experience under his or her belt. This type of mechanic who will care about doing a good job so they can keep their certification.
You don’t always need a mechanic when you have trouble with your car. There are a lot of things you can do easily. Research into auto repair online may help you identify the problem. If the job is a simple one, you might save a bit of money if you make repairs on your own.
Get a good battery charger and be sure it is always in your car.Learn how to connect your car to the points where the battery charger connects.
Make sure you are receiving OEM parts. These parts come from the manufacturer of your car. Generic parts may cost less, but they are not as good. What saves you a bit of money in the short term, may end up costing you dearly in the long term.
Make sure you often check the radiator in your car. Let the car run a couple minutes, shut off the engine and then pop the hood. You should never open up the radiator if your car is still running. Check the radiator fluid by using a dipstick and remember to dilute coolant with water before putting it in the radiator.
Before taking your car to a repair shop, take pictures of the areas that need to be fixed. This way if you suspect something has been removed without your approval, you have photographic proof. Therefore, documenting your vehicle can help you identify stolen items in case this were to happen to you.
You don’t have to take your car to the shop when there is an issue. There are a few things that can be fixed quite easily. If it’s a quick repair to make, try it yourself.
Problems seem to crop up only when the car is left with a mechanic. This is a tactic they perform to make it seem like they are doing you a favor. Tell them you have to think about it before accepting the deal.
Ask mechanics if they have done work on your particular make and model of car before contracting with them. If they say that they have, this should inform you that they know what your car needs to work properly.
If you notice a dangerous defect on a new vehicle, get in touch with its manufacturer. It is possible that there was a recall you didn’t know about. Many times, the manufacturer will repair it for you.
Wash your car regularly to prevent rust. Rust will happen, but you can stave it off for a good while.Use a decent wax to protect your paint jobs as much as you can.
If you get an estimate from a mechanic, tell them you need a few hours to think about it before making your decision. Contact other shops or dealerships to ask what they charge for the repairs the first shop is advocating. If you find something less expensive, pay them for their labor, but take your car somewhere else.
Go over your owner’s manual and make sure to mark important pages. You could even find the manual can help you fix the problem yourself.
For you to diagnose car problems, you need to be able to identify components of your vehicle. An auto repair class may be a great first step. The cost is worth it through the money you save on repairs. Knowing the basics of car maintenance can help you pinpoint a problem before it becomes a major problem.
You need your car’s records in a handy location.You may want to store them is the glove compartment for easy access. The auto mechanic can look at those records. This will help them to figure out what the problem quicker and more precisely.
If you go to a auto body shop and they do good work, go there every time that you need work done. You will always know that the work will be done right when you take the time to develop an ongoing relationship with your favorite mechanic. You may find yourself getting better prices, as well, for being a loyal customer.
Make sure you specifically request OEM parts. These means they are parts come from the manufacturer. While they often cost a little more, you’ll never know how good the quality is. What may seem like a deal now could be an expensive option later.
All quotes should have itemized costs, including parts and labor. This will make it simpler to compare multiple mechanics. Most of the time there is little difference in the charge for parts, so it becomes simple to compare the cost of labor.
Don’t leave valuables in your car when it’s being repaired. Mechanics may need to take these items out to do the inside of your vehicle and they aren’t responsible if you discover something missing. You want to remove items from your trunk.
Newer vehicles have lots of different sensors and warning lights to let you know when something is wrong. However, you shouldn’t just rely on these safety features. A bulb may burn out, or a sensor might malfunction, so you should also check your car manually for problems too.
Look for signs that your mechanic isn’t very good. If they are talking in circles and avoiding your questions, you should keep looking. You need to be able to trust the person doing your repairs, so go elsewhere.
Don’t attempt repairs on your car unless you are absolutely sure you understand the tasks you are performing. If you make a mistake, your car’s warranty may not be valid. If that happens, you can expect to be saddled with the full cost of any repairs.
Be sure your mechanic you choose is properly certified. You might want to see that he or she has credentials indicating that they know how to work on vehicles properly. You can expect quality results from someone who has been approved by this organization.
If your fuses need replacing, be sure you have the right amperage first. Replace your fuse with another one that has the same amperage. If you have to replace your fuses frequently, get your vehicle checked at a shop with specialization in electric systems.
If you need to have your car fixed, but need auto repairs, then get in touch with your vocational school’s auto repair department. You can pay quite as much less for service since students are still learning how to repair cars.
Not that many people bother reading their owner’s manual. You should review this manual so that important details are easy to find. Your manual has all that you need to know about maintaining your car and performing small repairs yourself.
Bleed your brakes after your work is done on a test drive. Test for leaks to ensure you don’t have fluid coming out. You can test driving on a road that lacks tons of traffic. Start out slowly to make sure that the repair before you start to drive faster.
It may be a recall you didn’t know about. The manufacturer may fix your car free of charge.
Consistency is actually very important when it comes to vehicle repairs and maintenance. Stick to a shop that has gained your trust instead of going around to various ones for work. Different mechanics may have different issues with your car. They could also charge you more for the work done.
As this article said to you before, you really must be sure to take care of your vehicle. By learning the simplest maintenance, such as performing your own oil changes, you can save a lot of cash. Apply what you’ve just learned here, and you’ll be confident making repairs going forward.

Summary re track leading straight up from four cross way to Ridge Road: It is not 'Gulmswell Lane'
David Halpin FRCS
http://map.devon.gov.uk/dccviewer/MyLocalPaths/> LABELLED TRACK
No apologies for length. This is a very important business
Farms in hilly parts of Devon were poor. Wagons were not afforded. Pack horses were used to bring the crops in. Small numbers of animals would be driven up to pastures as they greened up. If wagons were available they could not be driven up this track or driven down given the steepness.
I opened up the long disused buddles/drains before we bought the 25 acres from the Boyds – about 32 years ago because I like to see things working and damage reversed. After the purchase I attended to them about 3 times a year and often with paid help. (Buddles above Home House Orchard and up Barcombe Lane were also opened up.) Later, when I was chairman of the Village Hall committee, heavy concrete lintels were spare. These being ideal for diverting water into the buddles, one was used for each buddle. They were fastened to the bedrock. Mark helped me in this - paid. There had been two 'rallies' prior to this – Midland Motor Club. The rallies involved at least 100 VW Beetles ?2WD. Some needed extraction by tractor. The track was widely flattened including the primroses and other flowers. Mrs Sutton, a widow of the Paignton Park Superintendent who lived by the road to Stoke, liked to walk the paths. She wept at the vandalism.
The Motor Club found that the VWs could not mount the 4 inch step. I believe Dr Thomas, Parish Councillor, and Peter Williams the then Parish Clerk wished to see the rallies continue. A meeting was held up the track with these two and Mr Brewer, the area Highways officer. He expressed himself very content with our work (always done to the highest standard) and said the track was not on the DCC map. No further rallies took place, but walkers, horse riders, motorcyclists and 4WD off road vehicles continued to use the track. The latter damaged the banks, and our bank (the east) in particular. More soil/stones/leaf litter was displaced into the track, thus causing the buddles to block more quickly.
We paid for a swing shovel to spread the large mounds of soil on our land by each buddle because they were obstructing the outflow. All employed labour and the cost of this swing shovel were of course paid by us with no thought of any contribution from any other body. This we call husbandry.
Because my efforts and expenditure were being wasted by the 4WD vandalism, I decided to install steel posts top and bottom, with a small bund at the top to keep the water on the track above. The posts were clothed in Yorkshire Board and reflectors attached in case there was motor traffic at night. This work was done 12 years ago, and with Mark at a cost of about £260. Families and other walkers could enjoy the peace and the natural life. Occasionally they might have seen day time flights of the barn owls who live in our cob linhay we built in 1994. Horse riders, runners and mountain bikes could use the track without meeting a roaring Land Rover coming up. Motor bikes were seen mostly at weekends.
The Parish Council appeared on the scene courtesy of Dr Matt Fox, 'Footpath Officer' in November 2016
Minutes of the Parish Councilheld on 4 November 2015 at 7.30pm
041115.12 HIGHWAYS AND FOOTPATHS
Cllr Fox reported that the footpaths are generally fine. However, concerns were
raised about the condition of the unmetalled road leading up from Gulmswell Farm
and that it was difficult to comply with the maintenance requirements of DCC’s P3
scheme because access was restricted by the concrete posts at the top and bottom
of the lane. It was agreed that the clerk writes to the landowner who is believed to
have installed the posts informing them that the Parish Council intends to remove
the posts so that access can be gained to carry out necessary maintenance of the
lane and trees.
Minutes of the Parish Councilheld on 2 December 2015 at 7.30pm
021215.10 HIGHWAYS AND FOOTPATHS
Members received and noted correspondence with regard to the unmetalled road
leading up from Gulmswell Farm. It was also reported that the posts at the top
and bottom of the road have now been removed and landowners will try and clear
the trees (DSH – not our trees) and generally tidy up the area.
Minutes of the Parish Councilheld on 6 January 2016 at 7.30pm
060116.12 HIGHWAYS AND FOOTPATHS
12.1 Members received and noted correspondence with regard to the unmetalled
road leading up from Gulmswell Farm. Members also noted that following
removal of the bollards at the top and bottom of the lane, the landowners
now have access to their land to carry out necessary maintenance.
DSH to PC Although my focus is on threats to OUR NHS and other things which will affect all our lives, and not on an ancient path, I will find time to send some key points re history and maintenance needs. After the PC reads that, it would be good if we walked up the path. A few councillors might not know the bridleway.
At the same time a signpost to nowhere appeared at 4 cross way – but it had 3 fingers. One pointed to Carl Napper's Restricted Byway (which is named on his gate), and one upwards to the track – Unmetalled Road – patently obvious it is 'unmetalled'. The third pointed downwards towards Gulmswell – Unmetalled Road. The road down to Gulmsell is down to bedrock (brecchia). The road above Home House Orchard is still metalled in parts, with broken stone and no doubt rolled in with a steam roller. DCC made this useless signpost, delivered and erected it. Being of the softest of soft wood and with the useless modern Tanalith, it rotted in a year. This was done with council taxes.
Having taken no part in maintenance of this track in living memory, and without discussing its plans with the man who had done his very best to maintain it, the PC removed the posts within days of the 'intending to'. The PC had no idea what financial liabilities were attached to its rapid action or what was needed for maintenance. It appeared to be moved by a mixture of arrogance and vindictiveness. (See below for conflict of interest.) But it has learned something about this track in volumes of correspondence from me since then. (All available on request.)
I asked the PC twice whether it wanted to see 4WD vehicles on the track. It failed to answer so one assumed it did.
I walked down the track – 10-02-18. It is in a terrible state: walking for the elderly is dangerous. 4WD vehicles have been using it, planing down the sides and more importantly the banks. With brisk rainfall, the large amount of displaced soil will quickly fill the buddles which had been emptied well by a husband of a councillor. The heavy rain will have filled the buddles again and more soil and stones will have been scoured out and washed down to the Dod to add to the risk of flooding.
Questions for the Parish Council - three elected members, three co-opted members and two vacancies.
Did Chairman Boerer and other councillors walk up the track before the posts were peremptorily removed to see its state under my stewardship, to get some idea of the maintenance required by the PC and the cost of it?
Did the PC carry out a survey of the flora, mosses, lichens etc on the banks before the posts were removed? The council will be aware that a book has just been published recording an increase in the species of the Devon flora.
The council will also be aware that very many millions are being spent restoring and enhancing the natural world in the UK. Is it a function of the PC to encourage destruction of this ancient track?
We had the 26th most populous lesser horseshoe bat roost in the UK in Home House - 86 at one count, plus some greater horseshoe bats. The head of Natural England wrote thanking us. When bats are hunting for those c. 2000 insects per night, they fly up corridors and favour tall overhanging hedges. This track is an ideal corridor. Being winter, a survey with receivers would not be fruitful. However, how might these very sensitive creatures tolerate lingering toxic emissions from 4WD vehicles such as nitric oxides and 'particulates'? Might the insect/moth population be adversely affected by the trampling of heavy 4WDs?
The PC is aware that the bank on the east side is our property. We have steeped that hedge twice. The two greatest risks for extensive destruction are a.the 10 metres of stone facing below our top entrance, 1 square metre of which has fallen away already because traffic has eroded the foundation by about 2ft. If the wall falls into the track, the steep bank (6ft > 8ft high) will slump into the track b.Because the banks are up to 8ft high in parts with very large trees on top, a gale might fell a tree at the roots, displacing a large amount of stone and soil. This would be into the track. The cost to repair either would be very substantial. Is the PC prepared to guarantee that it would bear the costs given that the precipitating cause will be 'vandalism by vehicle' that it is encouraging?
It is likely that a motor club will decide to use the re-opened track for an off road trial, and perhaps in great numbers. Is the PC ready to defend its position with the people of the parish and especially with the occupants at Gulmswell? It will bear in mind the traffic congesting the roads already.
The trees that line the track are ash, some oak, field maple and wild cherry. The two latter are beautiful in their autumn colours. The cherry blossom is wonderful in the spring. For quiet enjoyment.
http://www.devon.gov.uk/parish_paths_partnership_scheme.htmQuote “The main aim is to improve the condition of the local rights of way and keep them open and used properly.” Does the PC consider the use it has facilitated as proper?
Youths break the branches of a sapling in the park. Vandals!! Is the PC not a vandal in this?
A sensitive child climbs the track, through the mud, to pick primroses for its mother on Mothering Sunday. There is roaring behind from a heavy 4x4. The child looks for a refuge on the steep western bank. Is the PC pleased with this possibility?
Conflict of Interest; Did Dr Matt Fox bring this to the PC when he was lobbying to have my posts removed and vehicular access encouraged?
He was 'clinical lead' for 'coastal' and attached to the South Devon and Torbay Clinical Commissioning Group. He was based at Dawlish as was his assertive associate, Ms Jenny Turner. He was 'tasked' with promoting the closure of Teignmouth Hospital, and was in harmony with closure of three others. Sham consultation was the main mechanism.
Teignmouth Community Hospital with airy uncluttered wards and sea views. The old CH bombed by the Luftwaffe. 7 patients and 3 killed killed. The FIRST hospital to be built post-WW2 by OUR new NHS. So valuable for rehabilitation in the main. Now closed for most purposes.
I strongly opposed the closure of CH beds at public meetings, via papers to the CCG based on a long and deep experience as a local Consultant in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery, via letters in newspapers both local and regional, and on TV.
I know my opposition to closure and very public stance were not welcome. I was told it. Ms Turner insulted me in public and was forced to issue a watery apology. There was strong animosity towards me.
( Half the CH beds were closed (60). This was a major factor in the 'lack of capacity' this winter with cancelled planned operations, as opponents to closure predicted.)
Teamwork in Combe-in-Teignhead 1975 to 2000. The personal recollections of David Halpin
19th February 2018
Chairman of the Village Hall. Oversaw its rebuilding. The A frames had spread and with them the single skin walls. Dangerous. Gilbert Eales > scaffolding throughout from floor to roof – suspending it. New foundations and walls rebuilt up to the roof. A tricky and unusual job.
A cramped Christmas Fair in our Home House. Many activities and all involving John Coombes and his late wife Maureen, Bill and Carol Smith, my wife Sue and the late Dennis Ross. A revue directed by Dorothy Miller – 'Combe-in-Teignhead Here We Come'! Dances, Xmas Fairs, barbecues. the history of the Parish – John Coombes. Village Fetes in the summer for the church. The yard outside made into more of a small tennis court for children. Sue and I arranged for David Ramsden of the Barn Owl Trust to speak on barn owls. This was the first time for him. This was for fund raising for Rocombe Valley Action Group – to fight rumoured tipping of inert waste in a deep valley. And much else.
Jubilee Committee.Silver Jubilee 1977. Combe people were asked to attend the official fire – Labrador. I said that meant cars and that was not in keeping. So this committee formed. Wonderful fire on Cliff Chudley's land – via Barcombe Lane. Dennis Ross took a leading part. After the fire a barbecue with donated chops! We then took on the newly named Jubilee Garden. The top soil had been removed and estuarial mud dumped instead. Colin Shaw and I worked on this – mostly on Sundays. A patient made the raised bed in brick. I erected a steel tube as a flag pole, the purpose being vent the cess pit!
Hearne Field and Committee.Martin Boyd was keen to see cricket on this field bequeathed by good Percy Hearne, and he set me going. I spent an hour one Saturday pm with gentle Cliff Chudley the tenant. It was the best fattening field on the farm (?salt spray on the pasture). But, he agreed to restrict grazing to sheep alone. The ground where a hedge had been was dealt with by John Coombes and me. A second hand gang mower was obtained from DGM and paid for by the Parish Council. I cut the grass with an old tractor. Time and diesel were not charged. Steps down to the little beach – Mark Blaber and me. Paid for by PC. I wanted this beach to be a place for mothers with little ones. Oaks and one lime planted by me by Combe Cellars Lane. I planted a red flowered Horse Chestnut – given by the Boyd family in memory of Martin. This was by the drive to the Pavilion. The Harts wanted it removed because it 'would obscure their view of the estuary'. I note its absence. Returned from 6 months in NZ to find some men had been defaecating behind the makeshift pavilion. Mark and I dug a 'long drop' and built a little house over it. No charge. Then the pavilion, and I wish the architect had not advised against 'wet trades'. Being in wood the insurance must be substantially higher. Donation of £1000 by Sue and me in memory of Susan's mother. I laid the water main through hard core across the car park entrance. Much else.
Parish Council and sometime Chairman.Not easy. I recall strong objections from a few to the development of Hearne Field. Planning applications – sites visited. eg. Honeysuckle Farm (horses). Attended with a senior planning officer. Hardly ever was the considered view of the PC accepted by TDC. The 'boathouse' at Tidelands – Mr Spink. PC unanimous in objecting to it believing it was likely to be converted to living accommodation. (It has!) Besides, the steeply pitched roof obstructed a pleasing view down the estuary. After long days in clinics or in the operating theatre, I must have felt tired for this PC work. Being on call for trauma cases at night 1in 2, and later 1in3>4, meant that some weeks I worked about 60 hours.
2000> In 1986 we purchased 3 parcels of steep land in poor heart. The Woodland Grant Scheme helped with the 'coppice' and Celia's wood – both 5 acres. 25 'back sun' acres were purchased from the Boyds and planted without grant aid as a pasture woodland. Sheep graze on the clear areas and on the 7 acres of pasture that have been retained. Altogether there are about 6000 trees. 1 acre cider orchard restored to beauty above Home House. A linhay was built in cob in 1994. The barn owls live there. A 'Shepherd's' Hut is a very recent addition, and also a log store in the coppice. Fitting with the adage, 'leave the land better than you found it', there are no broken down vehicles, caravans etc in these acres which we have enhanced.
Maintenance of the track which goes straight up from 4 cross way alongside our pasture woodland.
The two 'buddles' were opened up by me before 1986 and our purchase of this land. These drains, if kept open, stop the track from being scoured out by rain. Cleared out about 3 times per year. And 12 years ago, posts top and bottom, to stop 4X4 vandals. £260 spent then for public and not personal benefit. A youth breaking the branch of a sapling in a park is called a vandal. What of a 4X4 driven up an ancient track?

Back last month Metronomy released a video for a song from their new record, entitled 'She Wants'. You can watch it here. They've now got another new song that you can listen to, this time in non-video format. It's called 'The Look' and is the next single from that aforementioned long player, which is called The English Riviera. I think the English Riviera is somewhere in the West Country, right?
Anyway, listen to it below:
The English Riviera comes out on April 11 through Because music. We hope it's a stormer. They have an extensive UK tour planned around the release, the dates of which can be seen here. 'The Look' itself comes out physically and digitally on April 4.


|Thunderbolts #168 cover by Kev Walker|
By Tim Stevens
The Glyph Awards, begun in 2005 under the guidance of comics journalist Rich Watson, seek to honor comics that represent, according to their description, “the best in comics made by, for, and about people of color from the preceding calendar year.” This year several Marvel creators count themselves thrilled to garner nominations for their work.
“This makes me very happy that our portrayal of Luke Cage is being embraced so much,” Jeff Parker says of both his nomination as writer of THUNDERBOLTS and Cage’s nomination as Best Male Character “I think he's one of the great characters of modern comics and I love contributing to his legacy.”
“Both Sara [Pichelli] and I were just thrilled with the nominations,” says Brian Michael Bendis, honored for Story of the Year for ULTIMATE COMICS: SPIDER-MAN #1, Miles Morales as Character of the Year, and, like Parker, as Best Writer. “Obviously Miles means the world to us and our goals for him as a character are very very high. So the acknowledgment of our efforts made our day.”
|Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1 cover by Sara Pichelli|

TUGUEGARAO CITY – Mayor Jefferson Soriano would not hesitate to seek an extension of the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) that was imposed starting midnight Wednesday, January 20, if the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) situation does not improve here.
In a virtual press briefing on Tueday night, Soriano announced that the Regional Inter-Agency Task Force (RIATF) on COVID-19 had already approved the imposition of ECQ here from January 20 to midnight January 29.
And if the COVID-19 situation worsens in the city, Soriano said he will ask for an extension of the ECQ.
“With the 220 active cases in Tuguegarao, we are at high risk,” said Soriano, who underscored that 29 out of the 49 barangays in the city have reported COVID-19 infections.
“Our situation calls for ECQ. In almost all the parameters set by the National IATF, we qualify for ECQ. Tuguegarao is at high risk,” Soriano emphasized.
Among those critical points were the attack rate, which had 84 cases being posted on Saturday, and the comparison of records for the last two weeks continuing to remain high.
Soriano said the National IATF has set a strict home quarantine during ECQ for those below 18 years old, and above 65 years old; those with immunodeficiency, comorbidity, and pregnant women.
Movement shall be limited to accessing essential goods and services, and to work in permitted offices or establishments; Curfew hours shall be from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
COVID shield control pass will also be required when going out of the barangay. Public transportation is suspended.
Non-residents, who are working the city, will be allowed to enter Tuguegarao upon presentation of work ID.
For non-work related visits, non-Tuguegarao residents from Region 2 will have to present a travel pass and health declaration at the border checkpoints.
For those coming from areas outside Region 2, either for work or non-work -related purposes, they must secure a medical certificate and a travel authority from the local government of origin, and present these at the border checkpoints.
Soriano also announced that all social events are prohibited, while “talipapas” and satellite markets will still be allowed to operate daily. Ambulant vendors will not be allowed to ply their trade.
Only take-out and deliveries will be allowed for food establishments, with online delivery service allowed to operate for 24 hours.
Sale of alcoholic beverages and drinking in public shall be strictly prohibited.
Essential private and public construction will still be allowed.
For schools, face-to-face or in-person classes at all levels are suspended.
Government work may operate with a skeleton workforce, or, but not exceeding, 20 percent (20 %) of operational capacity.
The return of locally stranded individuals (LSIs) will be suspended, while returning overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) may be allowed to return home with prior consultation from the Command Center Hotline (+63956-347-7981).

Gold edges up on uncertainty over US mid-term elections
SPDR holdings fell slightly on Monday, with some analysts saying if Republicans keep both US houses, it could be negative for gold
Bengaluru — Gold edged up on Tuesday as investors sought shelter from uncertainty over the outcome of the US mid-term elections.
Spot gold rose 0.3% to $1,234.90 an ounce as of 10.37am GMT, while US gold futures were up 0.3% at $1,236.50.
“One scenario [from the elections] is that both houses are retained by the Republicans, and this could be negative for gold,” said Hussein Sayed, chief market strategist at FXTM. “The opposite scenario could send equity markets much lower, boosting gold. Such uncertainty is keeping gold steady at the moment.”
Opinion polls and election forecasters favour Democrats to secure the minimum 23 seats they need to capture a majority in the US house of representatives, which would enable them to stymie US President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda and investigate his administration.
European shares ticked lower and the dollar and bond markets barely budged on Tuesday, as traders braced for the elections and some potentially lively sessions ahead.
“Gold is holding above $1,230, confirming the growing investor interest in bullion in this uncertain macro-scenario,” ActivTrades chief analyst Carlo Alberto De Casa said in a note.
Investors also awaited a two-day US Federal Reserve meeting starting on Wednesday to gauge the outlook for US monetary policy, analysts said.
Higher US interest rates tend to boost the dollar, making dollar-priced gold more expensive for holders of other currencies. Rate increases also pressure gold prices by increasing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion.
Meanwhile, holdings of the world’s largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund (ETF), SPDR Gold Trust, fell 0.23% to 757.29 tonnes on Monday.
Among other precious metals, silver rose 0.3% to $14.67 an ounce, while platinum gained 0.8% to $870.60 an ounce. Palladium was down 0.1% at $1,131.95.

"[Florida]", Bry, Theodore de
Period: 1655 (published)
Publication: Newe Welt und Americanishe Historien
Color: Black & White
7.6 x 6 inches
19.3 x 15.2 cm
This copper engraving is from a remarkable series of publications, illustrating voyages of discovery and travels of exploration to various parts of the world. The project was begun by Theodore de Bry of Frankfurt, in 1590 and was to continue for another 54 years. They became known collectively as the Grands Voyages (to America and the West Indies) and the Petits Voyages (to the Orient and the East Indies). De Bry died after the first six parts of the Grands Voyages were completed. The project was completed initially by his widow and two sons, Johann Theodore de Bry and Johann Israel de Bry, then by his son-in-law, Matthaus Merian in 1644.
This engraving records the French discovery and naming of Port Royal. It depicts their ships anchored at the mouth of the river and an exploration party in a small boat in the river. The land is filled with turkeys, deer and an Indian village. The villagers were feasting on a small wolf and fled when they saw the explorers. Whereupon the French named the place Wolf's Point. On verso is the image of the chief Sataurioua performing a ceremony in preparation for war. On a full sheet of German text from Merian's edition.

In this version I have cooked the potato tofu balls in the cavity of appe pan instead of deep frying it. That has cut down most of the fat and thus a healthier version. I have also used sunflower seeds instead of cashews in the preparation of gravy for the recipe.


Land size can be important for some farmers and ranchers, and for those who don’t have much, a group will soon be holding a workshop on how to better manage land for horses.
The Sheridan County Conservation District will host a Mud and Pasture Management Workshop on October 1, where farmers and ranchers can learn about pasture management, erosion control, grassland health horses and the prevention of contaminants in watersheds.
District Manager Carrie Rogaczewski said a 2017 Census of Agriculture study showed horses are more common than cattle on farms and ranches of 100 acres or less.
She adds that the number isn’t a lot of space, but using the right techniques and practices can help keep horses healthy.
“We’re really looking at how, especially on these smaller properties, where you don’t have a lot of space to work with, how you can still have these healthy landscapes and still have healthy animals. Healthy landscapes equal healthy animals.
The event will take place in the Watt Building of the Sheridan Research and Extension Center.
Those who want to attend must register in advance.

ST. GEORGE — Authorities are asking for the public’s help in the ongoing investigation into the fatal crash that left one passenger dead on Interstate 15 just north of Mesquite, Nevada, last week as troopers continue to piece together the events that led up to the deadly collision.
Arizona Department of Public Safety Trooper Thomas Callister told St. George News the investigation into the crash is open and ongoing, and authorities need the public’s help in determining what took place just before, during and possibly even after the collision took place.
“There may be individuals who were in the gorge when the crash took place,” Callister said. “Or they may have seen what led up to the collision that could really help us to determine what happened out there.”
The incident in question took place on the afternoon of May 13, when three vehicles collided on northbound I-15 approximately 3 miles north of Mesquite, Nevada, in Arizona that took the life of a 26-year-old woman traveling in the front passenger’s seat of a Volkswagen Beetle.
Two other vehicles were also involved, including a red Nissan pickup truck that set the crash in motion when the driver told troopers he swerved to avoid hitting a bird while heading south on the interstate, and a moving truck that was struck by the pickup as it veered into oncoming traffic. The pickup continued and was airborne before it crashed down upon the Beetle, killing the front-seat passenger in the process.
Anyone that witnessed the incident or who may have information that would help further the investigation is being asked to contact the Arizona Department of Public Safety at 928-347-6385.

Under the hashtag #ColorOurCollections, a growing number of institutions around the world have been encouraging people to colour in their black and white exhibits to reimagine them in vibrant intensity. The web-based initiative began in 2016 to encourage people to engage more with collections in the United States and the idea has since grown rapidly. In 2020, museums, galleries, libraries, archives and other cultural institutions across the globe have been sharing free colouring sheets on the internet. During the programme, which took part in February, it was possible to download images to colour in – as well as entire colouring books – which featured materials in the collections of museums as diverse as the Bibliothèque et Archives Mationales in Québec and the library of the University of Sussex in the UK.
In 2019, no fewer than 114 different institutions participated in the #ColorOurCollections scheme and a similar number is expected to have taken part in 2020 when the final figures are established. Among the institutions in the United States that had announced they would be making a contribution were several from the academic world, such as the Countway Library at Harvard University. Museums the Virginia Museum of History and Culture and the Jewish Museum of Maryland all produced black and white images for people to colour in.

The Choice of Images
Of course, with such diverse collections, there is little that connects one type of image in the virtual colouring book from another. However, one commonality that is shared among the thousands of different prints and sketches that have been made available in the project is their monochrome appearance, something that makes them ideal for colouring in. In all other respects, the images that have been put forward span just about every taste and illustrative style that has been used over the last few centuries since printing was first invented.
Since drawings were first used in books, they have been put to educational uses and, in many cases, they featured in medical textbooks. As a result, many of the images in the 2020 iteration of the #ColorOurCollections scheme had a medical theme. Each of the chosen historical pictures offered the opportunity to colour in an image that had been hand-drawn but which were astonishingly detailed. Anyone who is interested in anatomy or the depiction of human bodies in a realistic state to improve their own use of colour without having to worry about sketching can find plenty of images to use thanks to the project.
For example, there are plenty of organs, muscles and skeletons to colour in thanks to the contributions of the Medical Heritage Library, the Massachusetts General Hospital and the New York Academy of Medicine. Some of these American institutions also came up with pictures of unusual animals that will fire the imagination of budding artists, too. It should be mentioned, however, that some of them available to download are definitely real examples of nature.
If colouring in anatomical images is not our thing, then there are plenty of other pictures to choose from. The Harley-Davidson Archives have allowed several pictures of their old motorcycle designs to be downloaded and coloured in, worth looking at if you’d like to add your own livery. Then, there are a number of different canoe images that fans of water-based transport can get their hands on thanks to the contribution made by the Canadian Canoe Museum. The Pritzker Military Museum also provided plenty of pictures that included those of military vehicles.
Originally launched by The New York Academy of Medicine Library four years ago, #ColorOurCollections has since grown to become a week-long colouring festival that has gained a large social media following. The annual campaign has now settled down to occur on the first full week of February, although the exact timing can vary. Nearly all types of public institution or archive can get involved to raise awareness of themselves simply by sharing free colouring content online and making use of the #ColorOurCollections hashtag. What’s more, the week of colouring activities has now been extended so that people can download the images in the scheme’s repository well after the official end. In fact, it is also now possible to access images from previous iterations of the online campaign.
This means that people can still colour in some remarkable gems from previous years, not least some very popular sketches that were perviously made available by the Theodore Roosevelt Center. These featured the former US president in several different settings. In addition, a series of intricate illustrations that were made available by Smithsonian Libraries are now still available to download by anyone who fancies colouring them in and sharing their work on social media. By the time the 2021 version of #ColorOurCollections comes about, even more institutions are likely to have got involved. All that is needed is to create a PDF that can be coloured in and a suitable image from an institution’s collection, of course.

"Last year's Orion Music + More Festival was hands down the highlight of the Metallica calendar. A great time was had by all, especially the band members," said Metallica's Lars Ulrich in a press release. "The fact that it also resonated with enough of our fans and friends that it warrants another go-around in '13 is beyond exciting. I can think of no better place than the Motor City, with its rich and diverse history of music, for the second ride on our Orion festival train."

Tuned In: New music from Cowboy Junkies; Waitiki 7; Snow and Voices
Submitted by SHNS on Fri, 06/25/2010 - 12:28
- By CHUCK CAMPBELL, Scripps Howard News Service
"NEW SOUNDS OF EXOTICA," The Waitiki 7 (Pass Out)
All hail the tiki gods and give praise to exotica.
The sadly overlooked form of escapist music popularized by Martin Denny, Les Baxter and others was a chart fixture half a century ago, just before rock ruined everything. The style was revived in the 1990s under the broader "lounge music" label, but mostly in the form of reissues.
So mahalo (thank you) to the Hawaii-by-way-of-Boston band the Waitiki 7 and its "New Sounds of Exotica," the act's second release from sessions it recorded in 2009. The newer project is tighter than its predecessor, "Adventures in Paradise," and a more beguiling blend of covers and new material that stays true to the pseudo-Oceania atmosphere of heavy percussion and bass, ethereal vibes, jazzy keyboards and, of course, bird calls.
Although the Waitiki 7 does put some "new" in the sound, the release is deferential in its covers of Denny's "When First I Love" (offered with the slow-burning seduction of glowing vibes), "Voodoo Love" (featuring a rustling showdown between drums and percussion) and "Firecracker" (xylophone mania!). Also, Baxter's "Tiki" is crafted with a smoldering blend of sax, bass and piano, and the group even discretely exotica-izes "Bali Ha'i" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's "South Pacific."
Whether deep in the jungle or down by the shore, the Waitiki 7 outfits its sound with modified nuance from convention. For example, although singing in traditional exotica is generally limited to chants and moans, "New Sounds of Exotica" discards vocals altogether (except for the bird calls) and essentially fills the void with Helen Liu's violin.
Perhaps most heartening of all, apart from the inventive cocktail recipes in the insert, are the new songs -- especially the bewitching, brushed-rhythm lullaby "Sweet Pikake Serenade" composed by band leader Randy Wong.
"New Sounds of Exotica" won't change your world, but it'll take you to a better one. Even if it's only a fantasy.

'Ike Dike' would be nice but is probably unrealistic
No question, the upper Texas Gulf Coast would benefit from an "Ike Dike." A major hurricane would do far less damage if Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula were protected by a large barrier like a sand dune or dike, and if Galveston Bay had a Dutch-style flood gate across it.
But coastal residents shouldn't get excited about this proposal. The financial and environmental hurdles it would have to clear are significant.
The price tag is already being listed at $4 billion, and projects like this usually end up costing more than initially estimated. At a time of trillion-dollar annual deficits, it's questionable if Congress would approve a major expense like this. Texans should remember that the superconducting super collider near Waxahachie was killed in 1993 because Washington blanched at the numbers, which started at $4 billion and escalated.
Even if the money were available, the Ike Dike would likely face a surge of lawsuits from environmentalists. That could tie up the proposal for years in state and federal courts.
Rather than pinning our hopes on a mega-project like this, coastal residents should focus on practical things we can do to protect ourselves from hurricanes: beach replenishment, closing the cut at Rollover Pass, better construction codes, not building on vulnerable areas, etc. Those efforts are smaller, but they add up. They also have a proven track record of success.
If the Ike Dike became a reality some day, that would be great. In the meantime, Southeast Texans have to make sure we are doing as much as possible to be prepared for the next hurricane, whenever it strikes.
