William Cullen Bryant is known as the 'Father of American Poetry'. He was the first internationally-recognised poet from the New World.
Family and Life
On 3 November, 1794, William Cullen Bryant was born in Cummington, Massachusetts. His mother, Sarah Snell, was a descendant of Mayflower Pilgrims, and his father was the great-grandson of English Puritan immigrants. His father, Peter Bryant, was a surgeon and a learned man with a large library. The elder Bryant saw the spark of genius in his son early on and made sure that William was brought up in a cultured atmosphere and taught Latin by his uncle, Rev Dr Thomas Snell, followed by Greek. Bryant translated some pieces of Latin poetry at the age of ten, which were good enough to be published in the Northampton newspaper. Two months after beginning his study of Greek, he had read the New Testament in its original language in its entirety. At sixteen, Bryant was accepted at Williams College with sophomore status. He was forced to leave after two sessions because his family could no longer support his education financially. He studied on his own for a few years and was admitted to the bar at the age of 21. He began practising as an attorney at Great Barrington. At 26, he was married to Miss Frances Fairchild. In that same year, his father died.
In 1825, at 30 years of age, Bryant left the law practice and moved to New York, assuming the editorship of the Evening Post. In 1829, he was the sole editor and the chief owner of the publication. Between the ages of 40 and 41, he lived for a few months in the cities of Florence, Pisa, Munich and Heidelberg. Bryant's wife died in 1866 and he followed her in 1878, in New York City. Ironically, he died on the twelfth day of the month he had predicted for his death in his poem 'June'.
Raised in a Puritan household, Bryant turned to deism in his youth and by the end of his life was a Unitarian. His religious views come through strongly in many of his poems. Bryant was a passionate abolitionist and believed strongly in free trade. He was very interested in human rights. One of the earliest great American poets, he was also the first American poetical theorist. He advocated morality, simplicity and originality in poetry and wrote many critical essays on this topic — for example, his Lectures on Poetry (delivered in 1825 and published in 1884).

'The Ages' was originally printed in 1821 in Poems by William Cullen Bryant. It is a poem covering 'the past ages of the world', to show that mankind is always progressing and nature is always renewing itself. It is a very hopeful piece.
Another poem of importance is 'The Old Man's Funeral'. It is a poem about the death of an old man. At his funeral, everyone is mourning but for one man, who addresses the crowd, asking them why they are crying. He says that they should no more cry for this man than for dead leaves in the fall or for the sun's setting. They should be glad that he lived his time on earth happily and kindly and has gone to heaven to be with God in paradise.
'June' is a poem written about the author's own death. It is a pretty piece, reflecting that he would rather die when the world was beautiful. The imagery it contains renders it is as if the poet's spirit were hovering over the grave and watching the goings on around it. The feeling of the poem is bittersweet and without the passion of grief.
'Oh, Fairest of the Rural Maids' is a poem written by Bryant for his wife. Bryant wrote eight poems to or about his wife. This is the first, written near their wedding day. The others, in order of publication, are 'The Future Life', which contains speculations on 'the union of their spirits in the world to come', 'The Sick Bed' and 'The Life That Is', chronicling an illness and its recovery, 'The Twenty-seventh of March,' Mrs Bryant's birthday, 'October, 1866', which speaks of her death, and 'May Evening' and 'A Poet to His Wife', which speak of her memory after her death. The simplicity of these are their strongest element. Yet behind this simplistic delivery is a complex idea. The 'maid' of the story is born in the woods. She does not simply display the features of one who has grown up in the forest; she becomes the forest:
The twilight of the trees and rocks
Is in the light shade of her locks,
And all the beauty of the place
Is in her heart and on her face.
The work for which Bryant is best known is his poem 'Thanatopsis', which he wrote as a teenager. At the time, Bryant was misdiagnosed with tuberculosis, a diagnosis which, had it been accurate, would have meant certain, painful death. This poem contains the adolescent Bryant's deistic thoughts on death. It is written in iambic pentameter, displaying a trust in nature without a God or an afterlife. Bryant gains comfort from the thought that when he dies, he will be joining the millions who have died before him. His body will fertilise some tree so that the earth benefits from his death.
Though he pursued many different paths during his life, William Cullen Bryant was primarily known for his poetry. The romantic style suites him, with his intense observation and appreciation for nature. Although he ended his life a religious man, Bryant's poem 'Thanatopsis' was the perfect opening for the transcendentalists who would succeed him.


A rare loss for Australia's Cate Campbell has helped Energy Standard upstage London Roar and claim the inaugural International Swimming League's grand final in Las Vegas.
In a bittersweet end to a memorable year, Roar star Campbell was upset by Sweden's Sarah Sjostrom in the final 50m freestyle event as Energy Standard stormed home in the short-course showcase on Sunday (AEDT).
The 28-strong Europe-based outfit Energy Standard - featuring sole Australian Emily Seebohm - snatched the ISL trophy and split $A145,000 prize money by topping the standings on 453.5 points - just 9.5 ahead of London (444pts).
The two-day grand final also featured US teams Cali Condors (415.5pts) and LA Current (318pts).
It was a thrilling finish to the maiden ISL which will expand to 10 teams next season, with Tokyo and Toronto franchises unveiled on Sunday.
The stage was set for Campbell to cap a dream year when London led Energy Standard by 23 points with only two events remaining - the women's and men's 50m freestyle skins.
However, Sjostrom showed why she looms as one of Campbell's greatest Tokyo Olympics threats when she mowed down the Australian in the women's skins final to give Energy Standard momentum for an upset.
Energy Standard completed the boilover in the men's final of the skins - an elimination format which whittles down an eight-strong field until just two battle it out in a third and final round.
Condors' American superstar Caeleb Dressel won the men's skins final but French giant Florent Manaudou registered enough points for Energy Standard to pip London for overall ISL honours.
Dressel was named MVP of the Las Vegas grand final after also clocking a US Open record 45.22 seconds to pip Roar's Olympic champion Kyle Chalmers of Australia (45.55) in the 100m freestyle final.
Sjostrom collected $A72,500 prizemoney as the inaugural season's overall MVP with 243.5 points ahead of Dressel (240) and Australia's Roar star Emma McKeon (192).
Campbell fell short in the 100m freestyle ISL final on Sunday, finishing third with McKeon claiming a shock win over Sjostrom.
Campbell now draws the curtain on the biggest 12-month program the veteran has ever attempted.
In what looms as perfect preparation for Tokyo, Campbell, 27, helped London qualify for the ISL grand final after dominating the seven-leg World Cup series where she picked up almost $500,000 in prize money.
Campbell then emerged as one of the stars of the inaugural six-leg ISL, the brainchild of Ukrainian billionaire Konstantin Grigorishin, which featured more than 100 Olympians.
Next season will be held from September 2020 to April 2021.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Sam Ita
While this gorgeous pop-up makes a valiant attempt to condense the glory of Verne’s sci-fi classic in sixteen pages, you can probably guess from the premise that this beautiful volume from Sterling does not make for an adequate story. What it does accomplish, often stunningly, is to bring some of the story’s most famous moments to life. Several spreads succeed spectacularly and the entire book is marked by Ita’s genius at paper engineering and his creative efforts with the sequential art format offer humor and a visual perspective which serve as a unique supplement to other print versions of this same story. --Jessica Fenster-Sparber

After rumors that Windows Phone might beat Android to nabbing Instagram turned out to be very false, it appears that the wait may be over and it looks like Instagram may finally be releasing its app for the Windows Phone. Rumors are circulating around the Web that a launch is imminent, and there’s plenty of mounting evidence to suggest it’s true.
Nokia has been throwing hints left and right about the existence and impending launch of Instagram’s app for the Windows Phone. For starters, Nokia said via Twitter that the Instagram app was “under development.”
Then just days ago, a curious customer took to Nokia Sweden’s Facebook page and asked if an Instagram app would ever come to the Nokia Lumia 920. The Nokia representative (maybe) slipped up and confirmed that an Instagram app for the Lumia was on the way but the exact date wasn’t confirm. Clever marketing or PR mishap? You be the judge.
Then there’s the fact that it looks like Instagram registered itself as a Windows Phone developer. According to WMPowerUser, the name “Instagram” was snagged. There is the possibility that another developer may have just ended up stealing away the “Instagram” user name to squat on it. But as WMPoweruser points out, searching for the app’s developer name in the store doesn’t turn up anything at all.
While there’s obviously no time table here, one thing is for sure: It’s all bad news for Instagraph, the recently-launched, $2.49 WP-friendly app that allows users to filter photos and send them on over to Instagram from your Windows Phone. It’s certainly a great workaround, but nothing beats the original.

- Windows 11: Everything new in the next big Windows update
- Instagram mulls iPhone widget for easier account switching

Public Protector Adv Busisiwe Mkhwebane will petition the Supreme Court of Appeal following the North Gauteng High Court’s decision to dismiss her application for a leave to appeal the damning Estina Dairy farm ruling against her.
The ANC says President Cyril Ramaphosa has displayed an act of transparency and accountability before South Africans by publicly responding to Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s findings against him.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has received the Public Protector’s notice on her probe into allegations that he lied to Parliament.
The claims relate to the R500 000 Bosasa donation to support his campaign for the ANC presidency.
The SACP has joined calls for a parliamentary inquiry into the Public Protector. The Democratic Alliance also wants an inquiry into Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s fitness to hold office after several scathing judgments against her reports.
Cope has accused the Public Protector of dragging her feet in making public the findings of the investigations into the Estina Dairy Farm.

Several Years ago in my watercolor class one of my students said as she was painting, “I’m just not using enough water.” She kept painting quietly concentrating and after a while we’d hear her declare again in a bewildered tone “I’m just not using enough water.” I believe she repeated the phrase a few more times that night until I eventually responded, “why don’t you?” We still laugh about that.
My student that day was right, she wasn’t using enough water which most of the time ends up leaving behind splotchy brush marks and spotty places difficult to smooth out. That is the tell-tale sign of working too long and the paper being too dry, and it becomes “overworked”. Every attempt to save it only leaves even more unwanted marks behind. So learning to stop in time before it’s too dry is a huge way to avoid all that frustration with splotchy problems. Putting the lamp in the right position where you can see the reflection very easily makes all the difference for me.
The amount of water you use is key, it will determine the result of each watercolor wash and how your brush strokes soften and diffuse.. or not. Of course sometimes you’ll need less water for more distinctive strokes and details in which case the "dry into damp” technique works wonderfully, but generally most watercolor washes work well to have a generous amount of water to start with, with a nice glossy reflection. This is assuming you’re painting flat on a table an not on an easel at an angle, in that case it’s hard to use as much water. I also like wetting my paper first most of the time, where some other methods are more direct watercolor on dry paper, leaving many hard edges and dry-brush texture.
How much water you begin a wash with determines the length of working time you have for that wash, more water equals more time, the less water you start with, the less time you have to work on that wash. So I like to start with as much water as possible while still having it dry enough to maintain some control. Finding a balance is the key. As you work on each wash, check the reflection, at the latter part of the wash I like to be finished before there is barely and reflection, if you keep working past that point then it’s in danger of being overworked. It’s time to put the brush down, let it be, and come back with a new layer when it’s bone dry.
So if you find yourself saying “I’m just not using enough water”, I encourage you to jump in, it is definitely uncomfortable at first but you’ll get used to it if you give yourself enough time and repetition. I say, use more water, immerse yourself in it! You’ll find your balance with time and practice. Happy swimming!

This summers extremely hot temperatures and abundance of rain has meant some difficult situations in many places of the country. In the south, for instance, there are many property owners dealing with flooding that is even worse in some cases than what was seen with Hurricane Harvey. In the midwest there are long stretches of interstate that are closed for flooding and many acres of agricultural fields that are sitting empty. And while we may often thing of humans and how we are affected by these extreme weather conditions, there are also problems that jeopardize the health of our pets.
In fact, emergency veterinary clinics in many parts of the country are reporting about dogs who have been exposed to dangerous blue green algae conditions in lakes and reservoirs.
Even if an animal only drinks one small bowl of water that an unsuspecting owner fills, the results can be deadly. It is important to realize the warning signs, which include, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, twitching, seizing, and loss of appetite. If pet owners suspect anything out of the normal, these animals should be taken in for veterinary services.
Veterinary Clinics Offer Important Services to Many Pet Owners
Local veterinarians and animal hospitals offer a number of services, from routine to emergency. Finding the right vet, of course, is as important for many families as it is to find the right family physician or pediatrician. A veterinary clinic that provides after hours phone services, for instance, can help a family determine the difference between a problem that can wait until morning and one that is an emergency. Owning a pet is an important responsibility and for many animal lovers a pet is an important part of the family. From making sure that they get to regular checkups to buying birthday and Christmas presents, some owners go all out when it comes to caring for their pets.
In addition to the emergency situations which require a visit to a local veterinary clinic, it is also important to know that, much like caring for a young child, there are many important check ups that can keep animals as healthy as possible. Consider some of these facts and figures about the many times when visiting a vet can help you make sure that your pet lives a long and healthy life:
- Just as older humans often require special care, vets suggest twice a year checkups for older pets.
- Unfortunately, 65% of pet owners do not brush their pet’s teeth, even though veterinarians explain the importance of regular brushing.
- Perhaps this is one of the reasons that most dogs and cats by the age of three have some evidence of periodontal disease.
- Leading to abscesses, loose teeth, and chronic pain, it is estimated that 80% of dogs and 70% cats also show signs of dental disease by age three.
- Fortunately, pet owners can reach 90% of the surface of a dog’s teeth just by brushing; flossing is not essential.
- More than in any other country., there are over 75 million pet dogs in the U.S.
- Painfully, as many as one in four pet dogs in the U.S. With the right kind of care, however, as many as 76% of dogs suffering from severe dysplasia and arthritis can live comfortable, happy live with the proper management.
- A flea can live more than 100 days without a blood meal, and the female flea can lay 2,000 eggs in her lifetime, so it is important to have your pet checked regularly. Flea and tick collars are also often recommended.
Having a pet is an important decision, any time of the year. Making sure that you are aware of climate and environmental dangers, of course, is very important if you are going to make sure that your dog, cat, or other pet live a long and healthy life. Similar to humans, small, organized steps can lead to life long health. From getting the right amount of exercise to visiting a vet on a regular basis, there are many ways that pet owners can help their animals remain important parts of the family both now and many years into the future. As he heat of summer finally leaves nd winter approaches, make sure your pet is ready.R

1.3 Place name evidence
The spread of Gaelic across Scotland is demonstrated by the place names left behind by Gaelic-speakers. In some cases the Gaels adapted names created earlier by Pictish, Cumbric, Norse, or even English speakers, but in many instances they created their own nomenclature anew (some of which became modified in turn by other linguistic groups).
A classic Gaelic naming element is baile7, a place of permanent settlement as small as a farm but as large as a village or town, usually anglicized as bal-, balla- or occasionally bella-. The distribution of baile names demonstrates the historic spread of the Gaelic-speaking population across Scotland, with a large number in Aberdeenshire, Angus and Fife, and examples found, for example, in Kirkcudbrightshire (Balcary, Balmaclellan, Balmingan), Dumfriesshire (Ballaggan, Baltersan), Selkirkshire (Balnakiel) and East Lothian (Balgone, Ballencrieff).
Another naming element is achadh8 (often shortened to acha- or ach-), originally a ‘field’ but which became applied to settlements. The only parts of Scotland where these are rare are the far south-east, possibly because the Gaels who settled there did not work the land to any great degree, and the Western Isles, owing to the influence of Norse terminology there. In the south and east of the country, the anglicised form is usually auch-; examples include Auchinbo and Auchintoul (Aberdeenshire), Auchendinny and Auchendoon in Midlothian, and Auchabrick and Auchenree in Wigtownshire. Examples in the Highlands include Achachork and Achnacloich (Skye), Achanalt and Achnashellach (Ross-shire) and Achavanich (Caithness).
While the oldest names can sometimes pose problems of interpretation, the later (generally Highland) names are mostly transparent. For example, Achachork is Achadh a’ Choirce (the field of the oats), Achnacloich is Achadh na Cloiche (the field of the stone), Achanalt is Achadh nan Allt (the field of the burns) and Achnashellach is Achadh nan Seileach (the field of the willows).
Other Gaelic place name elements which have a wide distribution in Scotland include kil- (Gaelic cill ‘church, churchyard’), tully or tilly- (Gaelic tulach, ‘hillock, knoll’) and knock (Gaelic cnoc, ‘hill’).
Examples of the first are Kilmarnock, Kilbirnie and Kilpatrick (Ayrshire), Kilbride (several, including Lanarkshire and Argyll), Kilallan (Renfrewshire), Kilfeddar (Wigtownshire), Kilbucho (Peeblesshire), Kilconquhar (Fife) and Kildrummy (Aberdeenshire).
Tulach examples include Tillydrine, Tillyfourie and Tillytarmont (Aberdeenshire) and Tullybelton, Tullyfergus and Tullymurdoch (Perthshire).
Knock is found in Big Knock (Peeblesshire), East and West Knock (Angus) and many places simply called Knock or The Knock.
In the Gàidhealtachd, the Ordnance Survey collected not anglicised versions of Gaelic originals as in the examples above, but thousands of pure Gaelic names, some of them going back to the earliest days of Dál Riata, but others much more modern. A great number of these are morphologically complex and pose a map-reading challenge to many Scots today, but they also provide a fantastically rich thread within the nation’s cultural tapestry.
Take, for example, Meall a’ Choire Chreagaich (the lump-shaped hill of the craggy corrie), Cnoc Alltan Iain Duinn (the hill of the small burn of brown-haired John), Allt Cnoc Àirigh an t-Seilich Bhig (the burn of the hill of the shieling of the small willow), and Rubha Camas nam Meanbh-chuileag (the headland of the bay of the midges).

Selective Flooding Based on Relevant Nearest-Neighbor using Query Feedback and Similarity across Unstructured Peer-to-Peer Networks
- Iskandar Ishak, Naomie Salim
- Journal of Computer Science ico_openaccess SCOPUS
Problem statement: Efficient searching is a fundamental problem for unstructured peer to peer networks. Flooding requires a lot of resources in the network and thus will increase the search cost. Searching approach that utilizes minimum network resources is required to produce efficient searching in the robust and dynamic peer-to-peer network. Approach: This study addressed the need for efficient flood-based searching in unstructured peer-to-peer network by considering the content of query and only selecting peers that were most related to the query given. We used minimum information to perform efficient peer selection by utilizing the past queries data and the query message. We exploited the nearest-neighbor concept on our query similarity and query hits space metrics for selecting the most relevant peers for efficient searching. Results: As demonstrated by extensive simulations, our searching scheme achieved better retrieval and low messages consumption. Conclusion: This study suggested that, in an unstructured peer-to-peer network, flooding that was based on the selection of relevant peers, can improve searching efficiency.

on the page we grew like dusk falling
impossibly ravishing, but in the reflection
of actual morning sunlight we shrank to something quite ordinary:
ordinary love in ordinary creased white sheets ordinary
glasses resting on ordinary night tables
removed after reading ordinary books
just before switching off the small bedside lamp
at an ordinary hour.
in the distance we could hear the monastery bells,
the soft sound of a bird’s nest falling,
to the forest floor.

Rebecca Morrison’s women scored wins over Czechia and Sweden to move into play-off contention on the third day’s play at the European Curling Championship at Curl Aberdeen.
Home skip Morrison, with Jen Dodds, Sophie Sinclair and Sophie Jackson, were looking to strike back after their victory against Turkiye in their opening match was followed by narrow losses against Denmark and Italy.
They had to work hard early on against the Czechs, before seizing the initiative by getting their two at the third, following two blanked ends.
They continued to give no quarter either side of the midway break as the teams exchanged a shot apiece either side of another blanked end, before the pressure finally took its toll on their opponents and Scotland ran up a five at the seventh end to secure an 8-1 victory.
The double is there, the double is called, and Rebecca Morrison 🏴 makes the double look effortless. 👏
— World Curling (@worldcurling) November 20, 2023
Morrison double take-out was crucial
The early finish ensured that they had maximum energy to take into what looked set to be a crucial meeting with Sweden’s Team Wrana as the round-robin stages passed the halfway mark.
With Gina Aitken replacing Sophie Sinclair as they continued their policy of interchanges, they started without the hammer, but took charge from the off, stealing a shot at the opening end, then a further two at the next.
While the Swedes rallied to get off the mark at the next, then further reduce the leeway at the fourth, the game was all but secured when Morrison executed a double take-out with her final shot at the fifth end to claim a four which took her team into the midway break in buoyant mood, knowing the result was all but secure.
From that point it was about scoreboard management and while they conceded twos at the sixth and eighth ends, there were no major alarms as they ran out 9-7 winners.
Confidence soars after latest triumph
Morrison was delighted that the team showed their class to handle the heat when it mattered.
She said: “We were defending a really big lead against Sweden and it’s always difficult when teams are coming hard at you, so losing twos in that situation was no bad thing.
“It’s been a brilliant day. Everyone came out absolutely firing and I couldn’t have asked for much more from anyone on the ice.
“We’re just delighted to get those two wins today and it’s filled us with confidence for the four games ahead.”
Scotland were ruthless against a struggling Swedish side, stealing and scoring big, and built an early advantage that they managed over the second half. 🙌
Next up, Germany. 🇩🇪
— Scottish Curling (@scottishcurling) November 20, 2023
They head into another two-game day on Tuesday looking for the results that could all but secure a place in the semi-finals, starting at 9am against Germany, who have a record of one win and four losses.
At 7pm, they face world champions Switzerland, who have the only unbeaten record, but with whom they have had a succession of tight matches this season, winning the most recent of them.
Germany then Switzerland await next
Morrison added: “Two wins would be brilliant and would put us in a really strong position and if we play like we did today there’s a good chance that will happen.
“This week the atmosphere in the arena has been great and it is always an honour representing Scottish Curling at these events. It helps us knowing we have so many Scottish fans in here cheering us on.”
The top eight men’s and women’s teams at these Championships, which take place from November 18-25, will qualify for the World Championships later this season.
The BKT Tires World Women’s Curling Championship 2024 will be hosted in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada in March 2024 and the LGT World Men’s Curling Championship 2024 will take place in Schaffhausen, Switzerland in April 2024.


Back in the ’80s, tele-evangelist Reverend Jim Bakker created a vast empire financed by hundreds of millions of dollars in donations sent his way by Christian fans.
Then the scandals hit his Praise The Lord (PTL) Club, ranging from wire fraud to conspiracy, only to be followed by a sex scandal involving former church secretary Jessica Hahn.
Like the walls of Jericho, the PTL empire came crashing down, but talk about a resurrection! Jim is back on the air and you won’t believe what he’s up to.
Bakker’s comeback reminds me of that famous statement by H.L. Mencken who once opined: “No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”
But this isn’t an exclusively American thing, nor is it confined to the business world because it also provides an answer for those still wondering how Justin Trudeau ever got elected.

In new court documents, the former Southern Charm cast member has accused Kathryn of purchasing prescription drugs from producers of the Bravo TV reality series and continuing to drink, despite a stint in rehab years ago.
The Blast shared details of Thomas’ latest filing with readers on January 8.
Kathryn “abuses prescription drugs, is engaged in the use of illegal drugs, and consumes alcohol in combination thereof regularly,” his documents read. Plus, he continued, Kathryn “has been intoxicated by the abuse of prescription drugs and/or use of illegal drugs while in sole care” of four-year-old Kensington and three-year-old Saint Julien.
According to Thomas, he’s convinced his former girlfriend buys, sells, and even trades prescription drugs to and from “friends, cast members, and show producers to support her prescription drug habit.”
As for why Kathryn is allegedly using prescription drugs, Thomas said she becomes “overwhelmed” after caring for their young children for more than a few days at a time.
She uses “as a coping mechanism for anxiety and stress,” he alleged.
She’s also supposedly failing to set up appointments for the kids and sleeping past noon.
Thomas even claimed Kathryn committed a hit and run back at the end of last year but didn’t offer any proof regarding the incident.
In her own court documents requesting primary custody of her children, Kathryn brought up the numerous sexual assault allegations that have been made against Thomas but according to him, Kathryn was well-aware of the allegations before she requested a modification of their custody arrangement.
Thomas went as far as to say Kathryn “condoned and/or encouraged Ms. Ledwell to make false allegations of sexual assault and to file a criminal complaint against him, on the heels of the ‘Me Too’ movement, for purposes of helping Mother gain custody of the parties’ minor children in a subsequent modification action.”
Kathryn went to rehab in 2016 as she lost custody of her two children but in the years since, she’s been awarded joint custody with Thomas.
Now, as he requests a judge award him with custody of his two kids, Thomas claims Kathryn has been putting her fame and ongoing role on Southern Charm ahead of the needs of their children.
Thomas also wants Kathryn to pay child support.
Southern Charm season six is currently in production. Due to his arrest, Thomas will not be included in the new episodes.

al Jazeera is reporting that PUK is in control of most of the land formerly held by Ansar al Islam.
Armed detachments of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), one of the largest parties in Iraqi Kurdistan, is in control of most of the positions that were previously held by the Ansar al-Islam group near the border with Iran.
A correspondent of the Qatari-based satellite television channel Al-Jazeera reported that PUK detachments dealt a massive strike against the Islamists' positions on Sunday.
PUK forces along with those of the US fired missiles on areas
held by the group which killed a dozen militants and civilians.
Meanwhile, Fouad Maasum, a high official of the PUK, admitted on
Monday that the US military has deployed forces in Iraqi Kurdistan,
in the city of Sulaimaniya.
"However, their number is not enough for the opening of a new
front," he pointed out.

Another instructor will lead the campers in learning dramatic skills and lead them in performing a short play, “The Toy Maker” at the end of camp. The last of camp will also feature an ice cream social, water balloon toss and an art gallery of camper projects, according to Harper.
Parents may register children online at the event’s Facebook page, Creative Arts Superhero Camp. Scholarships and multi-family member discounts are available. For additional information on camp costs, email firstname.lastname@example.org.


As the nearest National Park, the Marin Headlands is always a great place for people living in San Francisco to walk out of their urban life and enjoy nature. When I visited the Marin Headlands for the first time, I was surprised by the differences between the stressed urban life I saw in downtown San Francisco and the leisurely state of life in the Headlands, so I focused on joy, relief, wanderlust, of the visitors in the Headlands. I know how difficult it is to escape from an urban working life after my three-years of a stressful business life.
Inspired by the works from the documentary photographers Hiroji Kubota and Lewis Baltz, their photographs provide hints about a comfortable shooting scale between people and the landscape and how to enhance the major figure through composition. That is why I chose an observer’s perspective and the square composition to reveal that urban people can enjoy and balance their life in a better way.


The Premier League is pleased to announce that Carling will become its Official Beer Partner, in an agreement that covers the three seasons from 2016/17 to 2018/19.
The deal marks the next chapter in Carling's long-standing association with football having been the first ever title sponsor of the Premier League in a relationship that lasted eight seasons from 1993 to 2001, and title sponsor of the Carling Cup for nine seasons from 2003 to 2012.
"We are very pleased that Carling has chosen to partner with the Premier League for the next three seasons," Premier League Managing Director Richard Masters said. "They have some exciting plans for engaging fans in pubs and homes across the country and their track record of sponsoring top-level football, including the Premier League itself, will make them a great fit as our Official Beer Partner.
"The compelling football put on by our clubs this season is providing a fantastic platform for the League to take forward its new sponsorship strategy."
The Premier League is part of Carling's growing portfolio of iconic British partnerships, including Universal Music Group and Sky. These partnerships will provide rewards for Carling drinkers who engage with them, helping to drive conversation, create new stories and enable old ones to be re-told.
"Carling and the Premier League are both great British brands who are proud to play a role in the nation's conversations," Jim Shearer, Carling Brand Director for Molson Coors said. "This is the perfect partnership for us as it represents a point of passion for our consumers, can deliver scale, and is befitting of a number one brand within its category.
"Together with our large network of retailers and pubs, as well as the partnership we have with Sky, we'll be finding ways to use our unique access to the Premier League to give Carling drinkers more reasons to get together and keep the stories going long after the final whistle has blown."

GetSAT, an innovator of lightweight SATCOM terminals for ground, airborne, and maritime applications, has announced that the company's MilliSAT L/W has been selected as the Beyond-Line-Of-Sight (BLOS) SATCOM component for U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Airborne Communications by Hughes Defense Systems in support of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), Humanitarian Aid, Search and Rescue (SAR), and Disaster Relief (DR) Missions.
In partnership with systems integrator Hughes Networks Systems LLC, GetSAT’s technology was selected from multiple competitors to support mission critical communications link by U.S. Naval Air Systems (NAVAIR).
GetSAT’s MilliSAT L/W (lightweight) provides the U.S. Coast Guard with a fully integrated, airborne secure, COTM unit. The company’s micronized communications terminal is based on a patented fully-interlaced InterFLAT panel technology for transmitting and receiving signals on the same panel. Meeting the demanding requirements of full-time usage in harsh environments, this rugged satellite on the move (SOTM) terminal in a super-light compact installation offers significant savings in size, weight, and power usage (SWaP).
GetSAT's L/W platforms are micronized, fully integrated, lightweight terminals designed specifically for airborne and UAV platforms. Based on built-in InterFLAT panel technology, L/W terminals are easy to deploy and integrate and are available in various antenna sizes to meet the SWaP and bandwidth requirements of the most demanding aviation platforms. Additionally, the MilliSat L/W platform is available in both Ka- and Ku-Band application.
Rick Lober, VP/GM of Hughes Defense Systems, said that the company has worked with GetSAT for more than three years now and have found their COTM terminals to be smaller, lighter, higher performing and well suited for demanding environments, such as the USCG C-27 aircraft.
GetSAT CEO, Kfir Benjamin, added that working closely with the firm's partners at Hughes, the company hasd once again proven that GetSAT’s solutions are successful in achieving results in some of the most difficult security operational parameters. GetSAT's platforms meet the BLOS mission needs of the U.S. Coast Guard’s mission critical operations, such as drug interdictions, border control enforcement and search and rescue efforts and the company is honored to support the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s mission set.

Emergency shelter built entirely from recycled plastic
Ocean plastic initiative Waste Free Oceans (WFO) has revealed the first emergency shelter made from recycled plastic, an experimental project that was presented at the Ecomondo circular economy fair in Rimini, Italy.
The creators of the shelter, which is made from plastics found in the River Po in northern Italy, initially developed the concept for use in refugee camps, where it could simultaneously reduce plastic waste and provide a material to be used for shelters or other useful structures.
The shelter is made from separate recycled plastic panels that can be quickly assembled and disassembled when needed to deal with emergency situations. After its presentation at the Ecomondo fair, the panels of the shelter were sent to Athens, Greece, to assist refugees in the area.
More widely, the shelter can be used to help authorities dealing with any type of emergency situation, providing a flexible and affording housing solution to humanitarian crises.
Corepla – an Italian non-profit consortium for the collection, recycling and recovery of the waste from plastic packaging materials – paired up with WFO to provide the recycled material for the Italian project. Its prototype has been produced together with Protomax, a UK plastic engineering specialist, which moulded the material into panels.
Commenting on the project, Antonello Ciotti, President of Corepla, said: “With Waste Free Oceans and an English company [Protomax] we have closed the loop, applying circular economy principles, by developing a small cabin built from river plastic waste. This shelter can be put together in four hours at a very small cost and can be used in emergencies to provide immediate refuge.”
WFO Founder, Alexandre Dangis, described the benefits of a combined environmental and social initiative: “Driving the limits of plastics recycling to the extreme in order to contribute to social housing and emergency shelters is a win-win situation for Europe. More applications from mixed plastics waste in construction and horticulture and furniture markets will need to be developed in Europe if we are serious about the circular economy. At the same time, this social, humanitarian project has an educational purpose which should not be underestimated.”
This is not the first initiative which utilises the vast amount of plastic floating in our oceans. Head & Shoulders designed the first beach plastic shampoo bottle in 2016, and Adidas also launched recycled ocean plastic football kits in the same year. More recently, M&S have uncovered a reusable bag made from 75 per cent ‘Social Plastic’.

HIKING BOOTS: La Sportiva Aequilibrium LT Walking Boots (GTX)
I’ve used Sportiva Trango type boots for years as i can get a good deal as an IML, but i’ve always been a little disapointed by the lack of deapth and agresiveness of the soles.
With the Aequilibrium i feel Sportiva have finally nailed the perfect boot. Its light, stiff and comfortable. The fancy yellow/black lacing is a bit garish but easily replaced with nice flat laces. This is actually worth paying the full price for. They feel very secure and robust on the roughest or icyest terrain. Magnificent!
The boot is C2 and takes either a clip on of strap on crampon, the integral gaiter is OK for small rocks and debries but no replacement for a proper gaiter in snow.

Jim Cramer's got some thoughts on the market.
Stocks were falling hard Wednesday amid a lack of specifics from the Trump administration on plans to fight the coronavirus outbreak and as the World Health Organization declared the virus outbreak a pandemic.
"Whites of their eyes. We're going to try to... Some people are going to say this was the retest of Monday. I actually want to see it go through. We're not going to put any money to work until we exceed Monday's lows, which may mean that we don't get anything. We put $40,000 to work yesterday, which is a nice chunk of our... we have $350,000 in cash and we put $40,000 at work. You can hear about that later in our proprietary video. But then you wait. Karen Cramer and I used to just sit here on our hands and say, "Okay, listen, we bought at this level, we can't buy more and that's just undisciplined." So let's take a stock like Disney. Disney, I wanted to buy it, I think it's an interesting stock. It got to 101, 103 and unless it takes out that level, you really shouldn't buy it. That's just discipline," said Cramer.

You can never have a revolution in order to establish a democracy. You must have a democracy in order to have a revolution. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Thursday, February 17, 2011
Bush was right ?!?!
In 2009 I visited Cairo. In an event filled day we hit the pyramids, a mosque and a papryrus factory (which was really more of a shopping opportunity). The cruise ship tour bus navigated the streets of Cairo pushing, honking and going headlong into a maze that is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. (The photo to the left is an actual photo of rush hour.) When former President Hosni Mubarak warned that the streets would turn to chaos it was clear that he hadn’t been amongst his people in some time as chaos is the order of the day in the streets!
The protests that captured the foreign policy narrative for much of the past month showed tens of thousands demanding democracy and change in this ancient land. There may even have been a few million protesters when considering all of the major cities where demonstrations were held. Even if there were 2 or 3 million protesters – it’s a small percentage of a country with 81.5 million inhabitants which is particularly important in the current situation.
Last Friday Mubarak was plucked out of the palace and unceremoniously escorted from the country he led for nearly 30 years is reportedly a "guest" of the United Emirate. In his place the military has taken over. By any definition this was a military coup – not a democratic revolution – so we’ll have to see whether the Army provides actions to support an emerging democracy or just better PR.
The news narrative does not consider this nuance. While briefly acknowledging that the army that put Mubarak in power originally is again in charge writing the new constitution, the media has been filled with protesters seeking western style democracy. Good has overcome evil! (Cue music.)
It’s somewhat surprising to me that in this narrative that former President George W Bush (#43 not #41) isn’t receiving more credit. While he campaigned in 2000 on a platform of protectionism – after 9/11 his policies changed and his administration aggressively sought to replace dictators with democracy. I never supported the invasion of Iraq but there is little doubt that the result is a fledgling democracy. The cost (in lives, dollars and morality) of converting Iraq is something that history will judge. Leading up to the invassion, in 2003 President Bush described the “freedom deficit” in the Middle East and that with a free Iraq the entire region would turn to democracy.
The Bush Doctrine appears to be working as the region is changing. Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen have all experienced protests. Responses and success has varied – from the Iranians suggesting that protestors be beheaded to leaders fleeing their countries.
My ideals for liberty and freedom tell me that the lure of democracy has people clamoring to the streets and demanding change. My ideals would only be nominally correct. The economic reality of the Middle East provides some additional context. “Unemployment is at its highest and most dangerous levels in the Middle East with some estimates putting it as high as 15 per cent. According to Amat Alsowa, the head of the UN Development Program's regional office, the average unemployment rate is 15 per cent in the Arab world, "but it reaches 40 per cent among people between the ages of 15 and 24, totaling 66 million out of the total Arab population of 317 million.”
The U.S. Revolution in the 1770’s was about many things – but at its core was an economic call for no taxation without representation.
The Civil War in the U.S. similarly had many causes – and the economic disparities between North and South were a huge contributing factor.
Democracy may be the result of revolution but economic self interest often overshadows. In December 1991 the Soviet Union dissolved and in its place came the Russian Federation. Many freedoms were instituted and Western style capitalism was attempted. The country suffered terribly as it tried to change to a market-driven economy. 20 years later Russia has begun to return towards a centrally-planned economy - especially related to its natural resources (oil, timber, gold) while providing security and stability for the population. Note that nobody is in the streets there.
President Bush (#43) deserves praise for his vision of democracy in the Middle East. It’s more likely, though, that his economic policies that ruined the global economy are a more fundamental cause in the Middle Eastern protests for out of desperation people are drawn into action. The U.S. economy is in its worst condition in its history by nearly any measure. The accumulated deficit now exceeds all economic activity for a year (GDP) and is growing at an alarming rate. Unemployment is high – with millions falling off of the rolls every month making the number even higher than what is reported. There are trillions of dollars in unfunded commitments well into this century. Democrats, Republicans and all Americans share in the blame. President Bush (#43) must bear more of the responsibility for it was his budgets, his calls for invasion and his reallocation of wealth that have had the most impact. In 2008 he said that he was “sacrificing free market principles to save the economy.”
The dire economic conditions in the U.S. are the very conditions that have led to revolution and demands for freedom elsewhere. Good thing I’m a home body!

As the system operator, National Grid Electricity System Operator (NGESO) is required to make offers to parties seeking connection to the national electricity transmission system (NETS). The Connection and Use of System Code (CUSC) sets out the standard commercial terms between the NGESO and users of the NETS. Users enter into a connection agreement in the form set out in the CUSC which, amongst other things, sets out any works required to deliver the connection.
From 11 August 2010, following the implementation of the enduring access reforms, NGESO can offer terms for connection to the electricity transmission network based on a Connect and Manage approach. This allows new electricity generators to connect to the network once all enabling works are complete, but ahead of wider transmission system reinforcement being finished. For more detail on Connect and Manage, see NGESO’s Connect and Manage Guidance.
We monitor Connect and Manage in line with our duties to protect the interests of gas and electricity consumers. Our annual report to the Secretary of State includes information contained in NGESO’s Quarterly Report on the Connect and Manage Regime and the half-yearly Timely Connections Report produced by the transmission licensees in accordance with the electricity transmission licence.
Once a generator has entered into a contractual agreement with NGESO, it may be required to provide a pre-commissioning User Commitment. This is a term for the financial liabilities placed on users that trigger investment in the transmission network.
When a network user applies to connect to NETS or to increase its existing capacity, Transmission Owners undertake the required reinforcement works to the electricity network to accommodate its needs. However, the user may decide to cancel its project or reduce its capacity.
Where the associated works have already begun and the capacity cannot be reused, this can result in unnecessary costs for wider network users and ultimately for consumers. User commitment places liabilities on users in order to financially secure the cost of investment works and protect network users.

Christian Horner blasts 'boring' and 'depressing' Formula One media at heated Hungary press conference
- Red Bull team principal lost his cool when asked about the inclusion of Azerbaijan on the F1 calendar
- He took swipe at 'boring' and 'depressing' media in heated rant
- Added that it is 'wrong to make Formula One a political subject'
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner launched an astonishing tirade against the Formula One media on Friday as he attempted to defend Azerbaijan's forthcoming inclusion on the calendar.
Horner, along with his counterparts in Ferrari's Marco Mattiacci, McLaren's Eric Boullier, Vijay Mallya from Force India, Sauber's Monish Kaltenborn and Claire Williams from Williams, faced several tricky questions during the FIA team principals' press conference.
When the focus switched towards why Formula One ventures into areas that are suspect given the human rights record of certain countries, including Azerbaijan, Horner turned on his inquisitor, and the F1 press in general.
Attack: Christian Horner (centre) launched an astonishing tirade against Formula One media on Friday
'This is becoming a very depressing press conference where we're focused on the negativities,' said an exasperated Horner.
'Look, there is a calendar that comes out in October and November and we all have a choice whether we enter the world championship or not.
'All the people sitting here are racers and they are here because they are passionate about the sport and want to compete.
'When we sign up for that championship we put our faith and trust in the promoter and the FIA, and we will attend those races unless they deem it unnecessary for us to be there.
'All of you, or the vast majority, will be at those races, and why? Because you are either passionate about the sport or because you earn a living out of covering the sport.
On track: Lewis Hamilton in action during Saturday morning's final practice session ahead of qualifying
'It is wrong to make Formula One a political subject. We are a sport, we should be talking about the drivers in these conferences, about the spectacular racing between our drivers and his driver (pointing to Mattiacci) at the last grand prix (in Germany).
'We should be talking about what a great race it was for Lewis Hamilton to come through the grid.
'Yet all we do is focus on the negatives, and it has to be said, it gets pretty boring for us to sit up here and fend off these questions.
'How about asking some questions about what's going to happen in the race on Sunday, about what's going to happen in qualifying tomorrow.
'If you've got these (other) questions then please point them at Mr (Jean) Todt (FIA president) or Mr (Bernie) Ecclestone rather than the teams.'
Azerbaijan joins the calendar in 2016 and has been given the name of Grand Prix of Europe as F1 further expands its reach into the eastern part of the continent given Russia debuts later this year.
With Mexico due to return next season after what will be a 23-year absence, the team principals were in agreement the new races were a positive for the sport.

Commercial Grade 2000 sq. ft. 360 Deg. Occupancy Sensor Ceiling mount - White
Classrooms are ideal applications for the CM PDT 10 Series Extended Range 360º occupancy sensor. When mounted at 9 ft, this sensor provides line of sight Passive Infrared (PIR) detection of walking type motions up to 28 ft in all directions. Additionally, the CM PDT 10 provides overlapping Microphonics technology to detect smaller motions and occupant movements that occur behind obstructions. This is important for classrooms filled with obstructions like shelving, hanging projects, or lab benches. When comparing small motion detection, the CM PDT 10 far out performs dual technology sensors on the market that are specified with 2,000 ft2 of coverage. Spaces with low ceiling heights are also best covered by the CM PDT 10. For example, when mounted at the 7 ft ceiling height of many distribution center pick aisles, the CM PDT 10 provides a 32 ft diameter pattern of coverage. Additionally, the CM PDT 10 may be used in combination with other sensors to customize coverage for very large or irregularly shaped spaces.
- 100% Digital PIR Detection, Excellent RF Immunity
- 360º Coverage Pattern
- Patented Dual Technology with PIR/ Microphonics Detection
- Push-Button Programmable
- Adjustable Time Delays
