The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds belongs to the series The Legend of Zelda. In this part, you still play the role of a legendary hero, Link, who is on a mission to rescue Princess Zelda held captive by a cunning and malicious painter, Yuga.
Introduce about The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
Uncover huge secrets between two worlds with Link!
But the enemy this time is completely different
As you know, any part of The Legend of Zelda tells a story about a hero saving a beauty (except for the super bullshit Tri Force Heroes). Just the villain and the final boss of each part are different in respect of skills, malice, arrangement of the soldiers, and trusted minions. Following the same plot, in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, a young man named Link goes to save Princess of Hyrule, Zelda.
The villain this time is quite mysterious, is a dark painter named Yuga with the technique of turning people into wall paintings. And the hero Link, still appearing cheerful and a bit naive, is now apprenticed at a blacksmith’s house in the kingdom.
One day, Yuga got mad and kidnapped the priestess Seres and Princess Zelda to pressure the King of Hyrule. Link is summoned urgently to find Yuga’s whereabouts and rescue Princess Zelda and priestess Seres before the kingdom falls into the hands of the wicked.
With a simple, easy-to-understand, uncluttered narrative, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds has taken players in turn through twist plots, from which earth-shattering secrets unfold one by one. There are parts where Link is “stabbed in the back” because of an unexpected twist, for example, a mutual blacksmith apprentice friend turns out to be Yuga’s henchman installed to spy on Link. It hurts, doesn’t it?
Overall, the storyline is seamless, highly logical, informative but not confusing. It is generally quite deep, with many touching scenes, such as the part where the priestess Seres sacrificed herself for Princess Zelda.
Our Hero Link is also different
In The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, the more emphasized element is the action role-playing adventure. Link’s supernatural ability is the key to creating an extremely high appeal for the whole game. Enemies can turn people into wall paintings, whereas Link can enter the wall.
Link was also given a magic bracelet by heaven, so even if Yuga threw the charm to turn him into a picture a hundred times, Link was still OK. In contrast, Link even freely went to the walls to meet the others and search for all the big and small items that could help him solve everything and save the princess.
I must say in advance that Link’s traveling ability is endless. For example, in other parts, you may not be able to enter a locked house, but in A Link Between Worlds, Link can enter a wall, go around the back door, and then find a red crack in the wall to break into the house. This ability is also the inspiration for the publisher to name the game: A Link Between Worlds. “Link” both refers to the ability to move back and forth between the two worlds (wall world and the real world) and the hero Link.
There is a big note that using this wall entry skill consumes a lot of energy, so be careful with the situation of running out of energy.
Also different from the other parts where Link must do a lot of things to get the perfect skills. But in this version, from the beginning Link already has these two magical abilities. Why? There is a merchant Ravio, who wants to borrow Link’s house as a shop, in exchange he will lend Link unique weapons. If Link kills him, Link will immediately recover these items. When reappearing, Link will have to pay a lot of money to rent weapons or wait until the middle of the game when Ravio is short of money, he will sell it to Link (of course at a sky-high price).
With the freedom gifted by Nintendo for the first time, Link can travel to all lands
An attractive point that makes players fall in love with this part is the maze system. Link does not need to follow the map anymore but can go anywhere he wants, depending on the weapon he is renting from Ravio. In particular, when having an ice stick, Link may choose to destroy the fire maze, and vice versa, when having a fire stick, he may overcome the whole ice scene… This freedom and generosity have brought The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds to a new level, more exciting than other stories in the same series.
Earn points for Link
You can see that without money, you can’t do anything, because almost all the tools and weapons come from that old merchant. So, Link’s primary task is to collect as much money as possible. Money can be obtained from three sources: one is to defeat large and small enemies along the way, two is to find items and treasures in hidden spots in the walls, three is through minigames (fight monsters in Treacherous Tower or playing baseball to find treasure, helping a snail mother Maiamai collect 100 snail children who are stuck everywhere…).
Review the graphics and sound
Corresponding to the slightly weird storyline of this part, the effect of the Nintendo 3DS has worked extremely well. Every time Link enters the wall, the viewing angle immediately switches to the horizontal screen, allowing you to freely roam and explore another world. This flexible switching of views also gives a real sense of integration into Princess Zelda’s kingdom.
The sound in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds also has many things different from the others of the game series. There is more mysterious background music, especially when entering a twist, or when the crook is exposed, signaling for a bad omen.
The sound effects are also quite rich in direct combat with the enemy. The spirit and mellow, bright music style of the game series remains the same here, but some small different points as mentioned above help to create the player’s feeling of excitement with each part of the game.

This meaningful story is also sublimated by beautiful 3D images. Not to mention the deep storyline with many emotional levels and extremely powerful weapons of the main character and the ability to destroy everywhere, which make it become a game that any gamer must play once.

AbstractWireless detector Networks (WSNs) consists of very little nodes with sensing, calculation and wireless transportation capabilities. It is found that the most limiting think about LEACH protocol is energy. Knowledge gathering and forwarding is one amongst the necessary operations in WSNs and is main reason for energy consumption. We need to develop new LEACH protocol within which knowledge is transmitted in confidential method with least energy consumption and that too without decrypting the data at CH. Then the target of the analysis work to make up the improved network algorithms those area unit for improvement in performance in large-scale systems. MatLab 7.0 version has been utilised for the simulation job.

Russia on Friday rejected renewed calls to set up safe zones and no-fly zones in Syria’s border areas after the United States said it was ready to begin talks to consider the move.
“You have to solve citizen security issues using methods put in practice by international humanitarian law,” Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said, skeptical that the move would give the US and its allies an opportunity to intervene militarily in Syria.
“But if you try to create no-fly zones and safety zones for military purposes by citing an international crisis — this is unacceptable,” he said.
So-called safe zones are simply not a viable option. “Humanitarian corridors,” explained Marc Lynch of George Washington University in testimony before a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee, ”would be extremely difficult to protect, and could create a new refugee crisis if desperate civilians rush into designated safe zones or neighboring countries.”
Safe areas might also require airpower in some form, but Assad’s “anti-aircraft capabilities are located in or near urban areas, which means that significant civilian casualties could result from any attempt to eliminate them.” Lynch said. ”Creating and protecting a safe area in Syria would therefore require a significant and lengthy investment of troops and resources, and would not likely hasten Assad’s collapse.”
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the US is working with Turkey and may be preparing to “to have a very intensive operational planning” discussions during which they could deliberate further moves, possibly no-fly zones. Although couched in language of humanitarian intervention, such a move would end up facilitating an all-out war in Syria to cripple the Assad government.


At the United States of Hockey, Chris Peters looks at the defensemen who were invited to the Team USA World Juniors camp and says of Rangers first round pick Brady Skjei “I think they’ll have a tough time keeping Skjei off the final roster no matter what. He has good size, plays smart and will be a weapon on international ice potentially.”
Peters adds that Skjei is the best skating defenseman in the USA camp and that he could be a key player in transition and to push an “up-tempo attack.”
Skjei has represented Team USA as a member of the Under 17 team and the Under 18 team over the past two years.
He will play for the University of Minnesota this coming season.

A visiting Nigerian Nephrologist Dr. Oyebisi Oyekunle has encouraged national government to see the private sector as an important partner to the development of Liberia’s health sector.
According to the Nigerian consultant,globally health care are privately driven as such the Liberian government should now see the need to encourage full private participation for an effective and efficient health care delivery.
The Nigerian health practitioner praised national government for its effort in helping to improve the sector especially with some of the challenges it faced in the past ranging from the civil war and the just ended deadly Ebola virus crisis.
He said the continent of Africa has a long way to go in improving the health sector,however he noted that there are efforts in the making to help provide adequate health care for the people on the continent of Africa.
Commenting on his mission in Liberia Dr. Oyekunle said he came to Liberia to intervene into the handling of the chronic kidney disease which he noted is ravaging across the globe.
Medically one out of four is affected by the deadly disease,he added.
The disease which he pointed out is so deadly should be tackle holistically.
” I came to Liberia in two folds,one is to operate on the first dialysis modern machine in Liberia which was brought in Liberia by the Shree Krishna Incorporated Clinic and two is to provide training to some health workers and students in Liberia on how to use the machine”,amongst others,he Noted.
Dr. Oyekunle who has been in Liberia for few days now has helped safe the lives of two patients at the Shree Krishna Incorporated Clinic who were hardly hit by the deadly kidney disease.
Oyebisi indicated that after randering professional test and treatment on the two individuals whose names are with held,they are now well and moving on strong by the grace of God.
He said the disease is troubling and also costly to treat.
Globally the disease is caused by diabetes but in Africa to include Liberia it is caused by infection,heart blood pressure and inheritance amongst others.
In a drive to battle such huge health complication, the Nigerian Nephrologist warned Liberians and Africans in general to be very careful on what they eat, desist from taking pain relievers especially when they are not prescribed by doctors,because according to him said practice has the propensity to damage their kidneys.
Additionally he encouraged Liberians to do regular check up, exercise well including reporting timely on their health related complications to health workers.
Unlike in the past Liberia now has a modern and sophisticated dialysis machine at the facility of the Shree Krishna Incorporated Clinic on 20th street in Sinkor as the Nigerian health consultant urged Liberians to make use of the facility to avoid them from traveling abroad to seek such kidney treatment and other diseases.
According to proprietor of the clinic Kishore Gurbani,the clinic is modern,equipped and has trained staff who are up to the task to always rander professional health related services to the population of the Country.
He said base on numerous of calls from several people they have come to help the Country’s health sector.
” We are here to save lives and it is our passion and not for money making”,Mr. Gurbani added.
He noted that as the government is working to improve the health sector so are they too an important partner in the private sector and are working tirelessly to ensure residents in Liberia are safe and healthy.

FA Cup – 5th Round
League Cup – 2nd Round
Before the season began, pundits and fans alike did not know what to expect from Norwich City. The Canaries had surpassed expectations in the previous campaign, achieving back-to-back promotions and returning to the Premier League for the first time in six seasons.
Paul Lambert began recruiting new players early in the transfer window. The manager spent wisely, drafting in seven players including the young Spurs right-back Kyle Naughton on a season-long loan, Huddersfield Town Player of the Season Anthony Pilkington and Wales international Steve Morison.
Going into the opening game of the season, away at Wigan Athletic, Norwich were expected to struggle; avoiding relegation was the priority. Despite initially struggling to adapt to the pace of the Premier League, Norwich attacked with intent, played smooth football and left the DW Stadium with a valuable point. A week later, the Canaries faced Stoke City in their first home game of the season. Although Norwich held a 1-0 lead for most of the match, they gave up the 3 points with only seconds remaining. Those results, coupled with a harsh loss away at Chelsea and a home defeat to West Brom, forced Paul Lambert to rethink his tactics. Much-needed strategic changes and team selection tweaks paid off as Norwich immediately hit form, taking 11 points from half a dozen games.
At the halfway point in the season, Norwich were sitting comfortably in 11th place, notably defeating both other newly promoted clubs Swansea City and QPR, along with an incredible 4-2 victory over high-flying Newcastle United. Norwich City impressed outsiders with their fluid, passing football and attacking mentality. Canaries icon Grant Holt had seven goals to his name and had began to find his feet, new boy Steve Morison bagged six, goalkeeper John Ruddy was being touted as an England prospect and plenty of other players were being praised for their performances.
Norwich began 2012 with a bang, winning two consecutive league games, progressing to the 4th round of the FA Cup and recruiting Leeds skipper captain Howson. The Canaries kept their first clean sheet of the campaign at home to Chelsea with an outstanding defensive display. Their next big achievement of the campaign came at the start of February, as two goals from the skipper Holt and a strike from Pilkington helped Norwich become only the second team to defeat Swansea at the Liberty Stadium, with a 3-2 victory.
After a painful defeat to Leicester ended their FA Cup dreams, Premier League survival became the priority again. A run of poor results, where Norwich gained only four points out of a possible 18, aroused fear of relegation into the Norwich fans. Survival was finally confirmed on April 7th after a fantastic 2-2 draw at home to in-form Everton. Their season didn’t end there though; the Canaries topped off a marvellous Premier League return with two magnificent displays in North London, beating fourth-place Tottenham 2-1 and drawing 3-3 with Arsenal who were third.
Norwich ended their season with a terrific 2-0 triumph at home to Aston Villa. Inevitable speculation linking boss Lambert away from Carrow Road began, but that didn’t halt the celebrations. The Canaries finished in 12th place after a superb season; and optimistic fans already have the 2012-13 campaign in mind.
Manager – Paul Lambert: Lambert marked his third season as Norwich boss and first in the Premier League by achieving the tough task of keeping them in the top tier of English football. Throughout the season Lambert was fearless, making tactical changes to the side regularly, as well as tweaking the starting line-up when he deemed necessary and boosting his squad effectively in the January transfer window.
Player of the season – Grant Holt: Holt’s consistently exceptional performances, outstanding work rate and trademark eye for goal made him Norwich’s standout player of the season. The Canaries talisman hit an impressive 15 goals in his first season in the top flight, making him the second highest scoring Englishman in the league and earning him a great deal of acclaim.
Turning point – The first victory of the season: For the first four games of the season Norwich had played convincingly well but had only gained 2 points. Paul Lambert made six changes to the starting line-up for the away trip to Bolton, and the alterations certainly paid off as Norwich left with all three points, sparking a fantastic run of results for the Canaries who picked up 11 out of 18 available points.

Rebecca King is a New Zealand born fine art photographer. Her recent collection of works come from a place of intuition, layering and experimentation which exist somewhere in between painting and photography. Her earliest memories are the joy of painting and although her creative path began with paints and brushes, in the mid-80’s and again in 2018, she moved on to a greater love – photography.


Capacitors are one of the most widely used electronic components in electronic equipment. The main purpose of the capacitor:
1. The capacitor is used to store electricity for high-speed release. This function is used by the flash. Large lasers also use this technology to obtain very bright instant flash effects.
2. The capacitor can also eliminate pulsation. If the line that conducts DC voltage contains pulsations or spikes, the bulk capacitor can smooth the voltage by absorbing the peaks and filling the valleys.
3. The capacitor can block DC. If a smaller capacitor is connected to the battery, after the capacitor is fully charged (when the capacity of the capacitor is small, the charging process can be completed instantly), there will be no more current flowing between the two poles of the battery. However, any alternating current (AC) signal can flow through the capacitor unimpeded. The reason is that as the alternating current fluctuates, the capacitor is constantly charged and discharged, as if the alternating current is flowing.
4. A capacitor and an inductor can be used together to form an oscillator.
The main purpose of the capacitor it also includes such aspects as dc blocking, coupling, bypass, filtering, tuning loop, energy conversion, and control circuit.

Although the relationship between the actions of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and atherosclerosis is complex, a strong body of evidence suggests that its activity (cholesteryl ester transfer [CET]) is proatherogenic. We have previously shown that CET is increased in IDDM patients receiving conventional subcutaneous insulin treatment and normalized when systemic insulin levels are lowered with intraperitoneal insulin delivery (IP). Since CET has been found by many observers to also be accelerated in NIDDM, we sought to determine whether the same salutary effect could be achieved in insulin-requiring NIDDM men before and 7 months after randomization to an intensive treatment regimen (Rx) of either IP (n = 9) or multiple daily insulin injections (MDI; n = 13). HbA1c improved to the same degree in both groups (MDI group: 9.4 ± 1.1% pre-Rx vs. 7.2 ± 0.7% post-Rx [P < 0.001]; IP group: 9.2 ± 1.3% pre-Rx vs. 7.1 ± 0.5% post-Rx [P< 0.001]). Compared with pre-Rx levels, plasma triglycerides were not significantly changed by either treatment (MDI group: 136 ± 80 mg/dl pre-Rx vs. 139 ± 87 mg/dl post-Rx; IP group: 157 ± 63 mg/dl pre-Rx vs. 188 ± 89 mg/dl post-Rx), though an upward trend followed IP. Before randomization, CET estimated with both mass and isotopic assays was greater in the NIDDM subjects than in nondiabetic control subjects (P < 0.001). With improved glycemic control, CE mass transfer declined in both groups, but only reached normal levels in the IP group (MDI group at 2 h: 49.0 ± 13.7 [mean ± SD] μg pre-Rx vs. 29.5 ± 15.3 μg post-Rx [−39.7%, P < 0.01]; IP group at 2 h: 40.8 ± 23.3 μg pre-Rx vs. 10.9 ± 6.5 μg post-Rx [−73.2%, P < 0.05]) and remained abnormally increased (P < 0.005) in the subjects receiving MDI. Total lipolytic activity after intensive treatment was unchanged from pretreatment levels, which were similar to those of the reference group. Although directional changes in lipoprotein lipase (LpL) and hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) similar to those found in IDDM after MDI and IP were observed, they were not statistically significant. Thus, while improved glycemic control alone achieved by either MDI or IP reduced the pathological increase in CET in these insulin-treated NIDDM men, normalization was only achieved in those treated with IP. Despite near-normal HbA1c levels, CET remained abnormally increased in NIDDM patients treated rigorously with conventional subcutaneous insulin delivery.

Letters from the Lake District: Welcome
The Independent. I have a particular interest in folklore and legends in Cumbria. My partner Lesley and I go walking as much as possible which allows me to pursue one of my other interests: photography. That's one of my pictures on the left with Lesley trying to find out where she is on the map! (It's Eskdale love!). I may not post every day but I'll try to keep the gossip going and share with other people any events and news from this most beautiful part of the world.

The guys in Rascal Flatts are saluting their musical hero, the late Kenny Rogers, with a new studio recording of his enduring ballad, “Through the Years.” The track, released today (May 1), follows their performance of the song on CMT Giants Kenny Rogers: A Benefit For MusiCares in April.
A member of the Country Music Hall of Fame and a legendary entertainer, Rogers died in March at the age of 81. Rogers’ rendition of “Through the Years” rose to No. 5 at country radio and No. 13 at pop radio for Rogers in 1982.
“’Through The Years’ is a perfect love song, and it only felt right that this was the song we chose to pay tribute to Kenny,” shared Rascal Flatts’ lead singer Gary LeVox. “We’re honored to be able to keep shining Kenny’s light on the world in this small way. Music is healing and I think it’s important for us to keep embracing the power of music right now. Kenny would have wanted it that way.”

Thread Name: HOW do you write your songs?
Subject: RE: BS: HOW do you write your songs?
Amos that was brilliant! And so true........ :>
I usually do words & tune at the same time, as each feed into & suggest the other. Sometimes a whole song will arrive in a rush for no really discernable reason, and sometimes I have to tease it out. I never work hard at it though, as I'm a very impatient person & find it hard to apply myself to doing things carefully. The phrases that just emerge on their own are usually the ones I like best.
I'm at my most productive when I'm doing something that just lets me mentally freewheel - such as driving, cycling, walking the dog, spinning wool etc. Cycling & spinning are rhythmic activities & so are especially condu cive. - then I have to remember the thing long enough to write it down when I get wherever I'm going.
It amazes me that the tunes are in proper keys & can therefore have the chords worked out OK - or maybe its not possible to write one that isn't in a key? What d'ya reckon? (I'm not good on music theory).
Usually my songs are third-party stories that I've imagined my way into. I've only written two on intentional themes & was quite pleased that I could (I'll try some more some time).
Very often a song starts with one intention & then veers off & becomes something quite different. That doesn't matter to me as I don't really start with an end in mind - I just see what comes up.
I embarrassed a pubfull of (mostly male) people the other week when I sang a song I'd just written. I told them that it had started out as a nice happy song & then went all sinister and nasty (they nodded in acknowlegement of the sinisterness & nastiness of the song). Then I said I didn't really know how it happened - probably it was PMT. There was a bit of a 'silence' as you might say, and then I realised that I had told them I'd only just written it - and had hence told them more than they probably wanted to know about my menstrual cycle!!

Sustainable drainage and the planning process in England The National Planning Policy Framework (NP) and its associated technical guidance that replaced Planning Policy Statement 25 (POSS.) in 2012) states that priority should be given to sustainable drainage and discusses the impact of new development on flood risk. The NP maintains strong policy on avoiding and managing flood risk. Based on local planning authorities preparing local plans and deciding planning applications and granting planning permissions.
Design criteria Setting the design cartel at the start of the project and establishing a clear SuDS vision ensures that the SuDS scheme and/or components are not secondary to other requirements for the site. Sustainable drainage should be Integrated into the urban arm, whether using hard engineering or soft landscaping features. Design criteria (as set out in table 1) for the SuDS scheme provide a useful framework for delivering a scheme that meets objectives agreed by the client and design team. These will ideally relate to flood risk management (water quantity), water quality, and the provision of biodiversity and amenity.
It may not be possible to maximize opportunities for all three objectives and the extent that this happens should be discussed with the relevant stakeholders. More specific guidance on the design criteria can be found In COCA the SuDS Manual Table 1: Considerations for design criteria Design cartel Key principles Water quantity (hydraulics, flooding, runoff etc) People and property must be protected from all flooding sources, including local watercourses, the development's drainage system and overland flows. Development should not exacerbate flood risk within the wider catchments.
The flow rate and volume of runoff should be managed to agreed levels and drainage exceeding should be considered. Water quality (pollution control, management etc) Potential pollution risks should be mitigated by the use of source control, the SuDS management train with the appropriate number of treatment stages. Amenity and biodiversity SuDS can positively influence urban design and landscape value through provision of green space, vegetation integrating water into the built environment, providing opportunities for biodiversity. Sustainable drainage is to be included in public open spaces and contribute to green infrastructure. Healthy and safety concerns should be addressed and designed out. SuDS components should have shallow side slops, and ponds should have shallow shelving edges, and make good use of vegetation to prevent access. Often and amenity and biodiversity is dependent on water quantity and quality being effectively managed.
The design process Good urban design is only possible where the design and management of water in a scheme is integrated as an important part of the whole concept. SuDS can be designed without urban design input, but this leads to the creation of water management features that are disconnected with the character and aesthetic of the place, known as the 'context'. Having an inter-disciplinary team (if not transcendentalism) will help deliver a robust scheme with multiple benefits. Design selection
Sustainable drainage systems are designed using the same underlying principles of hydrology and hydraulics as traditional drainage systems, but also need to embrace the wider opportunities for managing water quality, environmental enhancement, amenity, community acceptance and urban design. Principles When selecting SuDS it is important to consider water quality, water quantity and amenity design criteria equally. There will not be a single "correct" answer: several options may meet the design criteria, and Judgment will be needed.
It may not be possible to maximize all three design criteria as this is likely to reflect the opportunities and constraints on site. Selection and design of SuDS are multi-disciplinary processes. Unlike traditional drainage systems, factors that influence the final choice will include planning, water quality, water resource, architectural and landscape requirements. The selection process Once an initial assessment of the site has been made and the design strategies for the drainage system have been agreed, drainage components can be selected.
The selection process in based on the principles that: The drainage scheme complements the overall vision for the site and management of surface water Drainage monuments will be used in series (the SuDS management train) to meet the design criteria for water quantity, quality, amenity and biodiversity Drainage components at the top of the management train are generally to be preferred to those further downstream There is no single correct solution; selection may be the result of site opportunities and constraints Minimize the use of impermeable surfaces wherever possible Maximize opportunity for managing water at or near the surface Source control is environment The SuDS scheme should be inspired by the original drainage pattern and characteristics of the local area. The SuDS scheme should be designed to facilitate maintenance and operation. The process is cyclical, and various factors have to be considered in increasing detail as a final solution is approached.
The selection of individual components and the SuDS scheme will depend on a variety of site attributes and factors including: local hydrology and hydrology ground contamination depth of water table soil permeability ground stability sensitivity of receiving waterbeds (either surface water or groundwater) size of catchments area development type, density and required layout requirements for local flood risk management there opportunities within the overall site affordability of scheme (capital and operational) HTTPS://mail. Google. Com/mail/u/on Table 1: Key considerations for SuDS construction Programming Normally traditional drainage is one of the first elements of infrastructure constructed on site.
For SuDS, although the form of the drainage will be constructed during the earthworks phase, final construction should not take place until the end of the development programmer, unless adequate provision is made to remove any silt that is deposited during construction operations, and refurbish any areas that have en subject to overcorrection, isolation etc. The contract is likely to stipulate establishment of landscaping vegetation, and sediment removal sometime after site works have been completed and prior to commencement of the maintenance period. Pollution and sediment control Surface water runoff from the construction site should not drain into SuDS components unless it has been allowed for in the design and specification.
Construction runoff can be heavily laden with silt, which can clog infiltration systems, build up in storage systems and pollute receiving waters. No traffic should be allowed to run on permeable surface components if it is likely to cause clogging of the pavement surface or result in overcorrection. Access and storage areas constructed) during the initial stages of the development, and then used as access roads and storage areas. If permeable surfaces are proposed, pavement construction should be carried out at the end of the development programmer, unless adequate protection is provided to prevent clogging or blinding once it has been constructed, otherwise rehabilitation to remove clogging (I. E. Action sweeping for permeable pavements) may be required. Skills and understanding The contractor and all relevant operatives should have an understanding of the purpose, operation and function of the SuDS components to ensure appropriate construction practice and protection is used. This relates to the conveyance (gradients), infiltration (quality of soil) and storage of surface water runoff. Infiltration system protection If SuDS components are to be lined, the use of hardcore for structural purposes below the level of the liner can be accepted. However the use of hardcore is not advised if infiltration is intended, due to the high proportion of fines generally resent.
Sensitive ground, such as Chalk, may require the use of total exclusion zones for construction traffic to prevent compaction and other damage to the ground that will affect the infiltration performance. This may include protection from runoff during construction if the component is located at a low point on the site. Risks primarily relate to compaction and isolation of infiltration components. Landscaping The importance of good landscaping should be emphasizes. As SuDS are normally at, or on the surface attention to detail and aesthetics must be given a high priority. The seasonal and physical requirements of planting and establishing vegetation and prevention of soil erosion should be programmed appropriately.
Appropriate operative skills with an understanding of all aspects of vegetation are required. Appropriate attention to detailing and ground levels for components should prevent any overland sediment wash off during high intensity rainfall events, or groundwater seepage during wet periods. It should also allow the appropriate overland flow of water around the SuDS scheme, lee water flows downhill. Erosion control Before runoff is allowed to flow through on the surface vegetated SuDS components (egg swales) they should be stabilized by planting or temporary erosion protection. This will reduce erosion and the clogging of other HTTPS://mail. Google. Mom/mail/u/on Handover inspection Provision should be made in the construction contract to review the performance of the SuDS when it is completed, and to allow for minor adjustments and refinements to be made to optimism the physical arrangements, based on observed performance. Suitable site supervision and inspection is also useful to ensure the SuDS monuments and scheme have been constructed as designed. Specification and bills of quantities Designers should highlight particular matters associated with the above points that are likely to impact the operation and performance of specific SuDS systems. The type of specification and/or bills of quantities will depend upon the form of construction contract being used for the specific project.
Module name: Sustainable Building (Specialist teaching - 10 credits) Sustainable building design aims to create resource-efficient buildings that are comfortable and healthy places to live and work. Materials, water and energy are seed for the construction and the running of buildings and the use of resources can be associated with environmental and social impacts. Sustainable design ensures that the impacts associated with resources are kept to a minimum while also considering issues of light, temperature, indoor air quality and psychological aspects of buildings that affect health. This module focuses on the design to minimize resource use, while considering the need to create healthy environments.

In September 1840, the Castleisland correspondent of a newspaper recorded the accidental death in Canada, by a fall from his horse, of Lieutenant Robert Adolphus Lynch:
His premature death, for he was yet unvisited with the hoar of age, will be a source of great and lasting regret to the circle of friends whom his literary attainments and social qualities collected around him in this country. His principal, and we believe, his only published work is that excellent and humorous guide to our own lakes which contains so many amusing traits of local peculiarities and abounds in so rich a collection of the wild legendary lore belonging to the district.1
The ‘excellent guide’ alluded to was Legends of the Lakes (1829) by Thomas Crofton Croker.2 Lynch had supplied the material for the book and Croker, who had recently published Fairy Legends and Traditions, arranged the work into a narrative.3
The book had been in progress since early 1827 when Lynch, whose address was Garden Lodge, Killarney, had supplied his Kerry Legends to Croker via his friend, Mr Sainthill, and his cousin, Joseph Humphreys.4
Croker was clearly impressed with the material and Lynch gave him liberty ‘to do as you please with my manuscript’, adding, ‘as to my achieving equal fame with you I believe there is no chance of that, neither do I intend to strive for it; nevertheless, I consider the temple of fame sufficiently large to afford me an humble niche‘.
In 1827, Lynch was a married man supporting a wife and young family. He had been retired on half pay from the King’s German Legion since serving in 1814 and 1815 and was seeking an alternative career in order to educate his children.5
However, 1827 was not an entirely good year for Lynch, as revealed in his correspondence with Thomas Crofton Croker.6 He was financially constrained and therefore anxious for publication of the book. He had also sent Croker a poetic tale entitled Sir Ronayne of the Lakes, a work on which he placed great value. 7
Croker, writing from the Admiralty in London, was slow to respond to Lynch’s impatient letters.
In September, Lynch requested that reply to his correspondence be directed to him at the Claremont Institution in Dublin, the master of which was his cousin, Joseph Humphreys. Lynch had travelled to the city to tend his sick mother. He wrote again in October to enquire if Croker had received papers he had left for him in Cork on his way to Dublin. His mother, he said, had now passed away.
Lynch believed he had a talent as a writer and felt ‘bound to make as speedy and as good a use of it’. He asked Croker if he could help him find work in this field in London.
An encouraging reply was received for Lynch’s next letter was full of enthusiasm, and detailed how he would prepare another 300 pages by the first of March 1828: ‘I will visit the places to be described and render them as correct as possible, you can retouch the whole’.8
Lynch despatched more work to Croker but as time went on without reply, he began to feel less confident about seeing his work in print. He decided to go to London in March 1828 to try himself to get his writing published. He informed Croker of his intentions and asked for the return of the tales already sent. Despairing, he included an epistle in an effort to be heard:9
To my good friend T C Croker Esq Wide o’er the world wild winter sweeps, Dark o’er the hills the sad mist creeps, Loud roars the wind, deep gloomy the sky, In wrath the storm-fiend passeth by. The withered woods are swept at lest; Like skeletons amid the blest; They clank their bare army – and the rain Descends in torrents on the plain. Wild heavy the lake against the rocks, Whose surging caverned echo mocks; And nature from her mountain throne Breathes o’er the whole a lengthened groan. A kindred gloom my spirits take, And when I seek my harp to wake, Come moans for music, and a sigh For its sad master’s destiny. It is not so in summer hours, When nature wreaths her brow with flowers; Tho’ small the minstrel’s store I ween, Forgetful of his fate, the scene Delights him, and the leafy grove Attunes his heart to peace and love. Now – darkening day, and lengthening night, Has little share of pleasure bright, And oh in vain the minstrel sighs, For balmy breeze and summer skies. I wake – I turn – and sleep denies His leaden scepter to mine eyes, While thoughts like troubled waters roll, And sweep across my saddened soul. First fell despair with hollow eyes Appears, and thus terrific cries:- ‘To thee an humble son of song, To thee, I say what hopes belong? Aspiring to a poet’s name, How canst thou hope a breath of fame? When mighty names can hardly keep Possession of her slippery steep. Where is thy patron’s partial hand To help thee, struggler, to the land? Or grant that thou couldst gain the post, How small to thee the empty boast! Thy help has not a golden string, And fame is but an hungry thing. But even if thou dost think it good, Say will thy children love such food No! – thou must still contend with sighs, And hopes, and tears, but never rise; While they, – when thou, or soon, or late, Shalt die – must share an equal fate; For know I mortal! Thou, and thine, Are marked by me, and ye are mine.’ The monster ceased – for prudence came, To calm my vex’d and fevered frame; ‘Hold fast thy hope, and truth,’ she cries, ‘Nor sink thus low, arise! Arise! What if thou hast not fortune’s smile? She can but rage a little while, And lo! Where age, and death appear, To teach thee all thy duty here.’ She spoke! – And age came trembling on, Death-tracked, his voice was almost gone; Yet still he whispered in mine ear, ‘Oh mortal! Why heap treasure here; Treasure not worth a moment’s care, For know we all but travellers are, Through this sad world a little apace, and go, where riches find no place.’ Age paused – for death wide open threw His gates – an ill-wind whistled through; Then thundering spoke, these words of fate, ‘There is no passage but this gate; Prepare! Prepare thy last account, ‘Ere death has dried life’s bubbling fount.’ ‘Tis thus on every hand assailed, With drooping heart, and spirits quailed, My soul from this sad season takes Its colour and my harp awakes A moaning music, and I sigh In vain for summer’s cloudless sky. Oh come sweet summer! Swiftly come! And take me to thy leafy home, Return my help, return my voice, And bid thy minstrel’s heart rejoice. ‘Tis thus unskilled to court the great, The poet feels his helpless state, And knows, that hatred never paid A fee per curse, than wisdom speaks In vengeance, with a withering look, And wished his foe might write a book. For thee my friend! Whate’er my fate, May fortune still on thee await, To thee, oh may thy season bring Fresh joy repose its stormy wing, For thee, regardful of my sighs, For thee, may many such arise; And may’st thou never, never know, The ills these lines but feebly show.
By August 1828, Legends of the Lakes was ‘in the press’ and Lynch had received payment from Croker. By the end of the year, Legends of the Lakes (in two volumes) was being reviewed and was on the bookshelves in January 1829.10 Lynch’s name, with Croker’s, appeared on the title page.
In June 1831, Lynch was miffed to discover that Croker had reissued the book without notifying him. He would not have then been aware that his name had also been removed from the reprint.11 He wrote to Croker from New Street, Killarney:
‘I find by the Cork Constitution that the Legends have gone into a second edition, to me this has been a surprise as I thought you might so far have regarded me as to consult me about a work with which to say the least I was so intimately connected.’12
The Croker correspondence reveals nothing about Lynch in the ensuing years until 1835, when he wrote to Croker that he was in London trying to arrange matters to emigrate. He was still struggling financially and sought a loan from Croker, who declined.
He looked to Croker for help in finding work in Ireland convenient for him and his family. Lynch suggested posts as Port Surveyor, ‘a situation formerly held by my grandfather’, or barrack master, or first class chief of police. He had heard that Lord Canterbury was going out to Canada and stated he would be happy if an official situation could be procured for him there. He would, he said, take anything that would enable him to educate his children.13
He was offered the port-mastership of Skibbereen, Co Cork but quickly resigned explaining that to do the job effectively, which involved a working day from 7am to 11pm, would cost him financially and was ‘incompatible with my interests’.14
During 1836, Lynch continued to apply to Croker for help in finding work and in September, he received a letter from the War Office about enlistment which if declined, meant loss of his commission. In desperation, he appealed to Croker, laying low his circumstances, which included a pregnant wife and severe financial difficulties. It was, in essence, a begging letter, from one gentleman to another. He asked Croker to destroy the letter when he had read it.
In October 1836, Lynch was in London on army affairs and seeking help in publishing an unfinished novel. He asked Croker if he was interested in legends from Glanerought in Co Kerry and if any number could be disposed of in magazines.15
By May 1837, Lynch had been gazetted out as ensign in the 63rd Regiment and with emigration still in mind, once again appealed to Croker for recommendations to persons in authority in Canada.16
One year on, Lynch had managed, by whatever means, to go to Canada. He informed Croker, ‘I have been in Canada where I have land.’ He had returned to Killarney because of the death by accidental burning of his second son, ’If you can be of any help to my family during my absence I believe you will.’
He asked for correspondence to be directed to him in Toronto. During this homecoming to Killarney, Lynch converted to the Roman Catholic faith.
This is the last we hear of Lynch until the notice of his death in 1840.
The family of Robert Adolphus Lynch
A sketch of Lynch’s family can yet be drawn, and no doubt he would have been proud to know that his children seem to have prospered in the world. Of his own paternity, however, little is known, though it is suggested he was a descendant of Thomas Lynch jnr (1749-1779), one of the signatories to the United States Declaration of Independence.17
Robert Adolphus Lynch married Johanna Almon, probably in Killarney,18 and the couple had at least six children, three sons and three daughters. All three daughters married.19 His sons were Robert Adolphus, born in Killarney in 1828, and Edmund, born in 1837 (the name of the son who died in 1838 is not known). Robert and Edmund laid roots in America. Robert married Anna, daughter of John and Anne Cahill and died in Haverhill, Massachusetts on 13 June 1902.20 Edmund married Maria Hatton (1853-1927) in Brooklyn in 1881 and died on 1 December 1899 in Mokena, Illinois.21
From these, a flourishing family tree is revealed.22
It may be that Sir Ronayne of the Lakes survives in the family papers of Lynch’s descendants. Notwithstanding, the role of Robert Adolphus Lynch in recording the wonderful legends of Killarney cannot be underestimated.
The literary gems belonged to him. This, Croker acknowledged in the first printing of the book. Now, almost 180 years since a Castleisland correspondent recorded the death of Mr Lynch, the O’Donohoe archive, Castleisland, underscores the valuable contribution of Robert Adolphus Lynch to the literature of Kerry.23
1 IE MOD/C31. The reporter added that Lynch was ‘distinguished for poetical abilities of no common order’ and that the specimens of his work in the book did not give an adequate idea of his higher attainments. The obituary, copied from the Kerry Examiner, concluded: ‘We have been told a production of such a character and equal to the expectation his acquaintances formed of him remains among his papers as well as a prose composition embracing or founded on the history of one of those strange and solitary men who took their romantic dwelling among the ruins and islands of Lough Lane. We would wish to see the remains of his intellectual labours to the public for among the many natives or residents of this country, who have earned so deserved reputation in the republic of letters, he was entitled to no humble rank. Another has however obtained a portion of the celebrity which was his due alone and the name of Crofton Croker is more generally heard in connection with the volumes to which he has no other right than that given by the prestige belonging to his editorial reputation. Lieut Lynch entered the army at an early age and retiring after the peace on half pay, settled in Killarney where a young and interesting family remain to lament his irreparable loss.’ 2 Lynch also supplied material to Croker for The Christmas Box (1829). 3 Fairy Legends was issued in 1825. Croker lost his manuscript for this book and his friends, who included Lynch’s cousin, Joseph Humphreys (1788-1859) of Hermitage, Kilmacow, near Waterford, first headmaster of the Claremont Institution (National Deaf and Dumb Institution), Glasnevin and contributor to the Amulet; Thomas Keightley (1789-1872); William Maginn (1793-1842); Samuel Carter Hall (1800-1889); Charles Robert Phipps Dodd (1793-1855) and Chief Baron David Richard Pigot (1797-1873), contributed to its production. A note in The Collected Works of W B Yeats (1989) vol VI, edited by William H O’Donnell adds Robert Adolphus Lynch to this list. In his article, ‘The First Group of British Folklorists’, The Journal of American Folklore, vol 68, No 267 (1955), author Richard M Dorson suggested that Croker’s treatment of Lynch’s literature was wanting: ‘The artificial gaiety of the narrative and the secondhand nature of its contents impair its value’. 4 Sometimes Garden Cottage, Killarney. It is not known where Garden Lodge/Cottage was situate but in one of his letters to Croker, in which he writes about a letter he is to deliver to the blind piper, Gandsey, Lynch states that ‘Lord Headley was near him’. Lord Headley’s mansion was Aghadoe House. See note above regarding Joseph Humphreys. At the end of June 1859, Henry T Humphreys Esq auctioned farm stock and a quantity of household furniture at Hermitage, Kilmacow. Mr Sainthill may have been Richard Sainthill (1787-1869), FSA. 5 In one of his letters to Croker at this time, he writes of plans to go to London to study law. 6 A number of exchanges between Lynch and Croker are referenced in Thomas Crofton Croker Correspondence in Public Library Cork An Index and Calendar compiled by Sheila M Kennedy held in Cork City Archives. They appear in volumes II, III and IV, all available online. The relationship between Lynch and Croker is unclear. It has been stated they were schoolfellows but their correspondence does not lend to such familiar acquaintance. 7 Lynch remained hopeful of publishing Sir Ronayne of the Lakes and composed a letter to Sir Walter Scott – to whom he hoped to dedicate the story – asking for his help in publishing it. Croker did not forward the manuscript to Sir Walter Scott for the cover letter remains in his papers. It may be that Croker had returned the manuscript to Lynch in the meantime, as suggested in the obituary to Lynch in note 1: ‘Among his papers … a prose composition embracing or founded on the history of one of those strange and solitary men who took their romantic dwelling among the ruins and islands of Lough Lane.’ See note on Philip Ronayne in The Legend of Lord Brandon (2014), p22. 8 Lynch suggested Croker add the preface and notes and also suggested the volume be entitled Feudal and Local Legends from the Kingdom of Kerry, ‘or any other title you please … we can divide the profits’. 9 In this he was inspired by Dunbar’s Wynter Meditation, ‘the sentiments were as congenial to my own frame of mind that I enlarged on it’. 10 Evidently Croker was thinking of a third volume though Lynch advised it would require material from outside Killarney which would detract from the whole. 11 The book was reproduced in one volume, Killarney Legends; Arranged as a Guide to the Lakes (1831). 12 He added, ‘It appears to me that many things might be altered with advantage and in consequence of improvements here, a few things might be added. If the work should go into another edition and I should be consulted, I would recommend those alterations and additions and also that it should be in one volume with an appendix which would render it a convenient handbook to the lakes’. He also mentioned that the change of publisher had cost him dearly as he had been promised £50 for a reprint and also alluded to the copyright of one of his poems (which had been broken up for the legends) explaining that the poem was of no use to him without it. In this he may have been referring to his Sir Ronayne of the Lakes. 13 He planned to leave his family at home to draw his half pay during his absence. 14 Quoting from Juvenal and Aesop, a play translated by Sir John Vanbrugh, he wrote to Croker, ‘The ministry have resigned and so have I: there’s nothing like following a good example; and I’m sure you would not have me be so base, as to retain office, when my party went out:- the truth is, that I have given up the Portmastership of Skibbereen. I confess that I was a little too hasty in my acceptance, before being acquainted with all the circumstances connected with the office; for tho’ prepared for a trifling salary, I did not expect that the situation would turn out the very reverse of the one desired by the above-mentioned honest Roger [Aesop]; that is, besides ‘bringing in very little’ that it would ‘cost a great deal’. 15 He also asked for the loan of £5. 16 He drafted the letter of recommendation himself and asked Croker to state he had known him since the time he served in the 2nd King’s German Legion. 17 See note 20. Robert Adolphus Lynch settled in Killarney in the early nineteenth century. It is not known where he was born. His father also wrote poetry, for some of the material sent to Croker was drawn from his father’s papers, and may have been published before. He mentions in one of his letters that Sir Richard Philips was his father’s bookseller. 18 Johanna had three elder brothers, John, Edmond and Batt and a sister, Ellen. The spelling of the name of descendant, Richard Allman Lynch, suggests alternatives to that given. 19 The daughters were Phoebe, born in Killarney in 1823, married, in Killarney in 1839, Robert Mathews; Mary, born in Killarney in 1826 married, in Killarney in 1846, John Daniel O’Connell; Ellen, born c1831, married James Hanifen c1851 (he died 1866). Ellen Hanifen had four children (Annie married Whalen; Edmond married Allen; Jeremiah and Phoebe). 20 Robert and Anna had issue Richard (1857-1901); Mary born 1862; Annie born 1863, and Phoebe Catherine, born in 1868. Phoebe Catherine Lynch married shoe manufacturer and businessman, Frank Elwin Brickett (1865-1915), a descendant of Hannah Dustin, in Haverhill in 1887 and had issue Iva Mae, born in 1888, who married Walter S Bailey. Walter and Iva had issue Dudley John Bailey, Thelma Elizabeth Germain, Valeska Brickett Bailey and one other, all born in Haverhill. The American Biography A New Cyclopedia (1919) vol VI, states that ‘Mrs Brickett is a descendant of Thomas Lynch, Jr, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence’. 21 Edmund had issue Robert Adolphus Lynch (1883-1943) who married in 1910 Marcia Ada Mitchell (Robert had two daughters, Mary Jane, born in 1911 and Roberta Mae born in 1913. Both were teachers in Moline.

Catering for a wedding or black tie event? Esthetics can make or break a sushi buffet. Too many colors, and it can look thrown together. Too little variety, and you'll look like a novice. Whether combined with white sushi rice, or used in its place, Fondo di Toscana Organic Tuscan Black Rice is a novel, and highly nutritious alternative that can really break up the monotony of white-based Onigiri and Makizushi!
Grown and harvested in Italy, in much the same way it has been for hundreds of years, Fondo di Toscana Organic Black Rice is world renowned for its nutritional value. Rich in essential vitamins, such as iron and Vitamin E, it is also a great source of anthocyanin antioxidants – known to boost the immune system, and help ward off disease. Directly milled from un-husked grains, Tuscan rice bears a distinctively aromatic, tea-like scent, and mildly nutty flavor – a perfect coupling with delicate fish, such as salmon.
Struggling to find artistic ways of presenting your sushi? A relatively new fad in fusion sushi bars, monochrome sushi is gaining in popularity due to its simplistic beauty. Though not as 'sticky' as conventional sushi rice, short-grain, Italian black rice can be used for sushi rolls if cooked correctly – particularly Makizushi, since the Nori holds it together. Simple, yet stunning, this Vegan Sushi Roll Recipe is a great example of how black rice can transform sushi presentation!
- High quality, organic black rice by Fondo di Toscana
- Grown in Tuscany using ancient farming methods
- Rich in anthocyanin antioxidants (the same found in dark berries)
- Excellent source of iron and Vitamin E
- Milled directly from un-husked grain
- Easy to cook: simply add one cup of dry rice to two cups of cold water. Cover and cook on a medium-low heat for 45 minutes – or until the rice is tender. Ensure all water has been absorbed prior to draining.

Lydia Jazmine off to UK with new manager Robert Kampala
19 Jul 2018 1:30 AM @ugandaonline
Lydia Nabawanuka aka Lydia Jazmine is on cloud 9 after getting a new manager. The 'Ojja Kunzita' singer who was formerly being managed by producer Bushingtone, is off to UK with her new manager Robert Kampala who says that she needs this break after a tight schedule.
The two time Coke Studio star is now being managed by Salama road based R.K Records, owned by new socialite Robert Kampala and their first project has been to shoot the 'Ojja Kunzita' video song that was produced by the late Dans Ku Mapesa.
It is said that Robert Kampala has some bit of money and hopes to overshadow all the loaded socialites, but we will be watching that space anyway.
As opposed to giving out his money, Robert Kampala will be dealing in buying and selling cars, real estate and managing artists, Lydia Jazmine is one of them.

It is a common practice that most female artists are being managed by their significant others, but Robert Kampala was quick to put the record straight saying that he is a married man with children so the working relationship between him and the female singer is strictly business.
Lydia Jazmine is confident that under the new management she could easily realize her dream of being the best female artist in the country, she is behind songs like; You and Me which she did with Daddy Andrew, 'Same Way' which she did with Geosteady, 'Cherie', 'Drum', 'Masuuka', 'Nkubanja', 'Guno Omukwano', Omuntu and Tukumbe among others.

Who is Lydia Jazmine?
Lydia Jazmine is born from a family of five and hails from Jinja where she lived during her tender years before relocating to Kampala.
Jazmine has been doing music since she was in nursery, but started professional music in the year 2013 and a year later, Bushingtone took over with the management of her music career up to a few weeks back.

Rasmala and GII sell German warehouses for $155m
Companies generate 30 per cent return on sale of units leased to Amazon which were bought two years ago
Dubai alternative investment manager Rasmala Investment Bank is planning to acquire new assets in Europe and the United States after it sold its two logistics facilities in Dortmund, Germany for $155 million (Dh569.2m).
The company bought the huge warehouses just two years ago alongside UAE-based financial services firm Gulf Islamic Investments, with the buildings leased to e-commerce giant Amazon.
“Our real estate business continues to expand and we are currently acquiring new assets in Europe and the United States. We have successfully exited this investment and will generate significant returns for our investors,” Eric Swats, a senior executive at Rasmala said.
The warehouses were based within the new Dortmund Logistics Park. The sale generated a total return of 30 per cent in over two years for the investors. Rasmala said it would retain its investment in another logistics centre let to a subsidiary of Decathlon, the sports goods retailer.
Based in Dubai International Financial Center, Rasmala invests directly and alongside Gulf-based institutional investors including banks, pension funds, endowments, family offices, corporations and government institutions.
The sale paves the way "for more real estate income-producing opportunities,” said Mohammed Al Hassan, co-founder & chief executive for the GCC at Gulf Islamic Investments.
“Our real estate portfolio has reached $900m and next year we target to touch $1.5 billion in similar deals in USA and Europe,” he said.
"This is one of the top IRR (internal rate of return) achieved in income generating real estate assets in [the] recent past and reflects on the capabilities of [the] GII team in providing complete Sharia-compliant investment solutions," said GII co-founder and UAE chief executive, Pankaj Gupta.
GII's team has a track record of managing $2.5bn in assets and securing $5.5bn in debt, the company said in a statement.
