Labour defends plan to use VAT on private school fees to fund free primary meals
Jeremy Corbyn has defended Labour's new £1 billion education policy of free meals for all primary school pupils paid for by VAT on private school fees.
The Labour leader said he had not ruled out removing charitable status from private schools which gives them tax breaks.
Mr Corbyn and his shadow education secretary Angela Rayner visited a children's centre in Leyland, Lancashire, for the launch of the new policy, which they say will boost the health and performance of all children while ending a "subsidy to the privileged few".
Private schools have criticised the policy and say Labour's sums do not add up, but Mr Corbyn backed his party's latest policy launch.
He said: "It will help all children and the outcomes in the areas where there are free school meals is improved school performances and improved educational attainment.
"Children who are well-fed do better in school."
Asked whether Labour would plan to remove charitable status for private schools, he said: "We haven't made a decision on that yet, we are looking at that, the issue we are putting forward at the moment is looking seriously at the question of children's health.
"We are considering lots of things but we have not made a decision on that yet.
"Nothing is ruled out but there are tax breaks that do need to be challenged, including the number of tax havens that are around the world and the policy of the government in cutting corporation tax, whereas we would want to be raising it.
"We are not proposing to close down private schools or private education but we are saying we want to raise money to ensure every child gets a decent school meal, and that is what the thinking is behind this policy.
"We are also challenging the government on the per-capita funding cut that's taking place in most schools by changing the funding formula which has resulted in the loss of some teachers' jobs, teaching assistant jobs, and schools sending out ever-more desperate appeals to parents to help them fund core services seems to me completely wrong."
All state-educated pupils in the first three years of primary school already receive free meals under a scheme introduced by the coalition government.
Only older youngsters from the poorest families qualify for continued free meals at school.
Labour say extending the scheme to all primary school pupils had been estimated to cost between £700 million and £900 million a year.
The party said an estimate by the Fabian Society in 2010 suggested introducing VAT on private school fees could raise around £1.5 billion annually.
About 93% of children are educated in state-run schools.
Labour say research from a pilot study shows universal access to free school meals improves pupils' performance.
The author of the study, by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), said such a policy would be expensive and more research is needed.
The announcement has been criticised by the Independent Schools Council (ISC), representing private schools, who said Labour's sums did not add up and would force smaller private schools to close.
Ms Rayner said free school meals would help lots of families whose children do not qualify because household earnings are above the £16,000 threshold.
She said: "This will be a real game changer for them and will save their parents significant money.
"While the Conservatives offer tax giveaways to their billionaire friends, they are cutting the schools budget and threatening the health and futures of all our children by denying children the basic right of a healthy lunch at school."
The 2016 Annual School Census by the Independent Schools Council (ISC) found 78% of their member schools had charitable status, a total of 999 schools, as there were deemed to be providing a "public benefit" including the likes of Eton, which charges more than £30,000 per pupil per term.
But Julie Robinson, general secretary of the ISC, said: "A third of pupils at our schools are on reduced fees and are from families where both parents work hard to pay the fees.
"If this measure was introduced smaller independent schools may close, driving more children back to be funded in the state system.
"Independent schools are fully aware of their social responsibilities and offer free and reduced cost places to children from lower income homes."
A Conservative spokesman dismissed the plan saying: "Labour would wreck the economy if they ever got back into government, meaning there would be less money to spend on our schools, not more.
"Their economic incompetence means this promise isn't worth the paper it's written on."

A 26.4% increase has been documented between the NIBRI readings of March 7th and March 14th.
CPI inflation is expected to exceed the RBI target of 2-6%; the index forecasts an inflation rate of 6.3%
Increasing food-energy costs as well as gaps in output are expected to contribute to the hike in CPI Inflation.
The Labour Participation index was documented at 39.3% in the week of March 14th.
The Nomura India Business Resumption Index (NIBRI) documented a record high reading of 126.4% as of the week of March 14, buoyed by the resumption in business activity and the corresponding requirement of services. The reading marks steady progress from the previous week’s reading of 122.8 , and a 26.4% growth from the pre-pandemic levels. The index documents that business activity currently remains unaffected by the ongoing war or the increase in crude oil prices since November. However, the report anticipates inflationary impact of the war on the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation is expected to be at 6.3% , higher than the Reserve Bank’s target of 2-6% owing to gaps in output as well as an increase in food-energy costs.
The Mobility Index is currently 15.8 Percentage Points (PP) higher than pre-pandemic levels. The labour participation rate indicated marginal growth from 39.0% in the week of March 7th to 39.3% in the week of March 14th. Other indices that indicated positive growth include the Apple Driving Index (increase by 11.7PP), Google Workplace Mobilty (increase by 2.4 PP), Retail and Recreation Index (increase by 3.1PP)

I'm jumping headlong into the new Nvidia RTX 30xx series of cards! I have a Dell t5810 with the 685W power supply now. I'll need to upgrade to the 825W power supply for the new Nvidia power-hungry beasts of beauty.
I have two questions about upgrading the power supply. I've seen a few postings mentioning an ~1100W power supply that *may* fit into the t5810, but I can't find anything specific. Is there a power supply available for the t5810 larger than the stock 825W supply? Does it have a different power extender card?
Second question... No matter the power supply I get, are there options for the power supply extender card outputs? I've only ever seen one available with a single 8 pin VGA port. As the new Nvidia RTX 30xx series of cards require significant power, I'd like to have the best possible (i.e. safety first, power availability secondary) connections. The Nvidia cards use their new 12 pin connectors and apparently come with a 12 pin to twin 6 pin breakout cable. By my own research, I will likely need to use an 8 pin (connected to the PSU's power card) with two 6 pin breakouts to connect to the two 6 pin breakouts from the Nvidia card which lead to the 12 pin header. I understand the reason for the breakouts; because these little wires can only take so much power through each safely, the breakouts are necessary. However, that got me thinking about the power supply's extender card. With only 3 (or 4? Can't recall at this instant) 12v "rails" coming out of it, despite splitting that down 6 (or
Please let me know if you have found a resolution as of now? We are having so much trouble trying to power a rtx 8000 on a T7810 with a 825 power supply with only an eight pin vga port on the power expansion board even though we have split it into a dual six back to an 8 pin connector to the gpu along with powering the six pin with a sata to six pin.

Did you ever get this working? I'm attempting to do something similar but having an impossible time doing so. My PC is constantly crashing under load, despite a new power supply (825W FT7T6), new CPU, new RAM, and fully tested GPU. At this point the only explanation I have is that the multi rail psu design is causing it, and I need to just replace my mobo with an x99 or something and just scrap this whole idea already. I cannot figure this out for the life of me.
Funnily enough, i'm doing the exact same thing as the Original Poster. Been running a Dell precision 5810 (685W PSU) with 4x16gig, a 10gig ethernet card, and an NVMe to PCIe adapter as boot drive. Graphics card was the original Nvidia Quadro M4000-8G. so last year in September i got on the pre-order list for an RTX3080. it didn't arrive until February. but whatever. i have something solid to run on this box.
So the stock config for the PCIe aux power is 2x6pin. first i tried a pair of 6-to-8 pin adapters. no dice. wouldn't get past bios post. then reading up on it, there is an AUX CPU power on the PSU distribution board. so got a pair of cables off of ebay, one that has 2x8pin aux off of the original PCIe aux power port on the distribution board, and a 2x8pin aux off of this other AUX CPU power port. so i ran one 8pin power from each pair - each 8pin port on the GFX card getting it's "own" supply.
this seemed to work fine for a few months, but i never really turned my machine off ever, then a windows update caused a reboot, and it either couldn't get through bios post - or the machine spins up, boots, but the screens are dead. it's exactly the same as when i tried to boot the machine with a PSU feed that wouldn't support the card.
so i figure its a power issue. and further reading leads me to believe that the 825W PSU has a different distribution board? but i'm not 100% on that...
right now as it stands, having retired my Quadro M4000-8G to my old precision T3610, i'm reduced to a pair of quadro NVS310's to drive my three screens till i can get this sorted out. either i find an 825W psu and it works as a straight swap, or i figure out some external GPU PSU heath-robinson affair.
however, when it was running, it was unburstable. furmark left for a day or so untill boredom set in or i wanted to do something else. GPU-Z reporting anywhere from 320Watts to 340Watts GPU power draw. hours of cyberpunk2077... i figure i've crossed a line somewhere and something is just saying "no" right now...
ok, so a note to not checking your work...
the 8pin plugs that i have feeding my graphics card are split 6+2 pin things, where the 2pin "clips on" to the side of the 6pin plug, making it an 8 pin unit that plugs into the graphics card. i hadn't clipped the 2pin bit onto the 6pin plug of both plugs properly, so they weren't sitting in the power socket on the graphics card properly. the machine would fire up, just no display.
after checking all my connections, and that one 8pin power feed was coming from the PCIe power socket on the PSU's distibution board, and the other 8pin feed was coming from the AUX CPU power socket, and that the full 8pins were seated in the graphics card, my machine boots just fine.
so i'm running a Xeon E5-1650v4, 64gig ECC ram, a 10gig ethernet card, a PCIe to NVMe adapter with a 1TB SSD, and lastly an RTX3080. all hanging off a 685W PSU. everythings ticking along just fine so far...
ok, so, longer term living with this setup. gaming with this machine on the 685W PSU, with a 3080 being fed one 8 pin PCIe power from the AUX CPU power socket, and the other 8pin PCIe power fed from the normal PCIe feed off the PSU. this works. and is seemingly fine. HOWEVER.
the machine will crash from every few days, to maybe get a week, maybe two weeks of 24/7 running. this is not mining machine. i just leave it on all the time as this is my work from home daily driver.
turns out there is a thing called "transient load" with GPU's where they can pull up to twice their rated power requirements. this was ok with 10 and ok-ish with 20 series cards. but my 3080 could pull up to 700Watts for a "blip". i can't pinpoint if this is the issue, but i'm hunting for a PSU swap that could give me some headroom to cope if this is the case. the 5810 doesn't turn off completely, just freezes, then hard resets. i hope that's the "server" nature of it's PSU at least not letting the machine fall flat on it's face.
Have you replaced the PSU with an 825 or 1300 watt unit yet? Looks like at least some if not all of the Model D1300EF-02 1300w units originally installed in the 7910s would work
DP/N: V5K16 (Delta), T31JM (Chicony) T6R7 (Delta) were all used in the 7910s, appear to physically fit in the 5810 and attach to the same power distribution board with the aux CPU plug. They're expensive for 6-8 year old power supplies ($100 or so). The 825w units are more reasonable ($60-75) but might not do the job, especially if the issue is "transient load" related. I have my doubts though - seems like your unit worked fine till it didn't - and the transient loads should have been there all of the time. I've been running the M4000 (6+6 pin) off the AUX CPU port just to see if it works. So far, no difficulties but I haven't really put it to the test.
I've been wondering if I'll need to replace my 685w units with something better for future graphics cards. BTW, if you need more than 6 cores, the 22-core e5-2696 v4s work great in these machines (updated A34 bios needed) and are fairly cheap. They'll only turbo 1-2 cores at 3.7 GHz but you might not notice the drop from the 4 GHz the 1650's will run at.
Your comment about the cpu upgrade with the A34 bios was very useful thank you. I can confirm the e5-2696 v4 22 core works T5810. The extra cores will be good when I retire it to the garage for esxi or proxmox.
I'm upgrading the graphics card to a RTX 2060 (TDP 185w?) using the 8 pin off the pcie supply from a 685W D01T006.

Manoj Bajpayee and Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s movies might not have particular significance and buzz when they release in India, but internationally they get the appreciation they deserve. The two National Film Awardees of India were well received at the Asia Asia Pacific Screen Awards held in Brisbane, Australia on Thursday. The award unites 70 countries and areas adding up to nearly 4.5 billion people, and half the world’s film output.
The Aligarh actor won the best actor award for his role as Siras in the film. In the film Manoj Bajpayee’s character had stooped shoulders, a hesitant smile and his eyes seem permanently bewildered by the brutality of the world. That may or may not have brought in a lot of audiences to the theatres, but Hansal Mehta’s film surely has managed to gain appreciation on an international platform.
Anurag Kashyap and Nawazuddin Siddiqui had received a standing ovation at the Cannes film festival this year for their excellent performance and direction in the film Raman Raghav 2.0.

La Almendra y El Gitano
, Camino Cala El Plomo, s/n, Agua Amarga, (Almeria).
Sitting in a unique environment on the Almería coast, the curiously-named hotel La Almendra y El Gitano (the Almond and the Gypsy) offers guests maximum tranquillity with a personal touch, right in the heart of the Cabo de Gata natural park. Nightlife here means sipping a glass of wine, listening to the crickets and gazing up at the millions of stars, uninterrupted by any hint of light pollution.
The hotel rests on a low hill looking down into a valley completely free of roads or houses, giving a complete sense of being at one with nature. 360° views reach around the surrounding hills and down to the nearby sea. Within its several acres, there are plenty of places to relax in total quietude: on the old Moorish “aljibe”, by the spring, under a 300 year-old carob tree, or lying by the pool shaded by a tall palm tree.
The three rooms and two suites match the simplicity of the environment, but combined with such exquisite good taste that they are a true luxury. The decoration of each is unique, drawing inspiration from a mixture of cultures and filling the spaces with comfort, intimacy and peace. There are plenty of modern “essentials”, though no telephone or internet as some of the miracles of 21st century communication have not yet penetrated the natural park. Most important of all is the evident love of the owners for their hotel and for each other, something which will inevitably rub off on anyone who stays here.
There is so much to do, you really can be busy doing nothing. A week of walking would barely begin to explore the numerous tracks along the coast and through the hills. Just look at the amazing volcanic geology of the area, have a peaceful day on the beach at Cala El Plomo or wander along to Agua Amarga, a delightful cluster of white houses around a bay. A little further afield, visit the other villages of Cabo de Gata, or see the flamingos at the Salinas, drive up to the only desert in Europe, or visit the Mini-Hollywood film studios. Whatever you decide to do, this is one of the most benign climates in Europe with winter temperatures in the high teens, summer temperatures in the thirties and 320 sunny days every year.
The dining room is full of light, with windows looking out on all the beauties that surround it. Breakfasts are served here as well as light dinners of fish, Spanish cold meats and salads, on request. Meals (except breakfast) are not served every day, and 24 hours notice is needed. There is a choice of some excellent wines to accompany a meal.
Out and About
Beaches (Cala El Plomo for a totally virgin beach accessible only on foot or by boat, Agua Amarga for a long stretch of sand with a couple of bars and restaurants nearby, Carboneras for a promenade with bars, shops and restaurants)
Lots of other quiet or totally isolated beaches along the coastline of Cabo De Gata
Cabo de Gata natural park
Cabo de Gata marine park (the only marine natural park in Spain, or maybe in Europe)
Walking. Choose from the coastline, the flora and fauna of the hills, the moorish springs, or even a little industrial archaeology. Guided walks can be arranged.
Sailing trips along the Cabo de Gata coast
Scuba diving (Agua Amarga)
Horse-riding (Agua Amarga)
Places to visit:
Cabo de Gata cape and lighthouse
The salinas (flamingos and other birds)
Villages of Cabo de Gata (Las Negras, San José, etc)
The caves of Sorbas
Nijar (artisan shops)
The hotel has 2 double bedrooms of equal size and comfort with terrace overlooking the valley.
Latex mattress, minibar, DVD, TV and hairdryer.
Double bedroom with jacuzzi and terrace overlooking the valley.
Latex mattress, minibar, DVD, TV and hairdryer.
Each of the three suites has a jacuzzi inside the room. They have a private terrace overlooking the valley. Latex mattress, minibar, DVD, TV and hairdryer.
Reviews from Little Hotels Travellers:
|We have a saying in Norway, that "all good things are three".
Since this was the third time we booked through little hotels, I must say, that unfortunately this was the one with lowest score.
Nice people, nice place ( in the wilderness as aspected), quiet and with lovely view. All this was looked foreward to.
But the restaurant, serving nice meals with exeptionel wines,as the web tells, we could not find.
We learned that we could order some spesific dishes the day before. (Not sundays.) That means that we had frozen pizza from the supermarket the first night and on sunday. Saturday was ok for us, but it's not nice to see other guests have "micro pizza".
Off course we could go by car to one of the nearby small towns, but we like to have good food and wine, and maybe a brandy and then it`s nice to walk "home" not to drive the car for some 10-30 km.
Anyway, we will book again and try to find something simulare to Fowlers and Casa de Maco, which we really enjoyed.
Little Hotels response:
We are really sorry that we didn't make it clear enough on our page. Although we said "light dinners, on request", we have now changed the wording to ensure that we are being totally explicit. I don't think there is any criticism of La Almendra y El Gitano here. It was us, Little Hotels, who did not make it clear enough that the hotel only serves evening meals on request, not every day, and that the meals are limited to salads, fish dishes and the like. We apologise.
|We think that Little Hotels is a great find and would definitely use them again. We spent a great week in our hotel ~ La Almendra y El Gitano. The hotel is in a superb setting with wonderful views and is an oasis of peace, comfort and style. We stayed in the Arab Suite in the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, other than our own at home. Our room was simple, stylish and elegant with everything we needed. We partcularly enjoyed the jacuzzi with its stunning views across the extensive gardens.
The owner was most welcoming and informative, giving us a map where he highlighted the best beaches and good places to eat.
We really enjoyed our holiday and would recommend your group and this hotel without reservation.
|I just wanted to let you know what a lovely weekend we just had at La Almendra y El Gitano; it's a truly wonderful place (even the appalling weather didn't spoil it!) You can't help but relax there - the atmosphere and surroundings just weave a spell....I would recommend it to anyone. We hope to go back there again in the future.
Check room rates, check availability and make your booking. It's so easy!
If you don't find what you want, be sure to come back to Little Hotels to find another hotel personally chosen by us.
BOOK THIS HOTEL
La Almendra y El Gitano is the place where you can even get away from the people who got away from it all. A stunningly beautiful place in which to take a complete rest and enjoy the solitude of the Almería coastline.
And the origin of the name? A love poem from Angel to Ana.
A Word from the Owner
We created our little hotel to give you a restful stay and discreet attention within a beautiful corner of the Spanish coastline that remains totally untouched. Ana and I invite you to spend some time in this magical place of ours.

Many people claim that Bitcoin is a fluke and the same criticisms that were said about Forex are being brought up with Bitcoin. But as history has proven, both Bitcoin and Forex, despite how new they are in the world of day traders, are here to stay. However, the question still rises, which one is better? Is Bitcoin safer to trade than Forex? Or is Forex better in the long run than Bitcoin?
The forex market is the No. 1 market in the world for trading volume by a large margin. The Bank for International Settlements reported an average of $6.6 trillion daily trading value in the 2019 forex market, a 29.4% increase since its last report in April 2016. As of May 2020, the cumulative market cap for the crypto market totaled around $256 billion.

It’s easy to get lost in the world of cryptocurrency if you’re just starting out. Reading articles online and coming across cryptocurrency terms such as market capitalization (or market caps) can be intimidating. Don’t get frustrated though. Everyone was a beginner at some point, but with the right amount of effort and research, learning about cryptocurrency can actually be easier than what you expect!
Buying vs trading cryptocurrencies | IG Explainers
Forex trading is large. The average daily turnover rate for Forex is in the trillions, with $5 trillion USD being traded in Forex in 2016. Compared to that, the most significant coin in crypto, Bitcoin, had only $1 billion USD turnover. BTC trading is not even as large as Forex trading in the Swiss franc, responsible for 5% of trading volume and $243 billion USD in daily turnover. However, unlike Forex, crypto trading can show returns of over 70%. Returns that high are almost unheard of in Forex trading.
Designed by Francis-Xavier Thoorens, the cryptocurrency will utilise smart bridges to help bridge the communication between independent blockchains. Eventually this should give birth to a ecosystem of blockchains that can communicate with one another. This would then eventually aid to the reduction of users on centralised exchanges which are prone to hacks and theft. If all currency transactions are conducted through the smart bridges then users will no longer need exchanges.
One big difference to Forex are the big spreads. A spread is the difference between ask and bid prices. The ask price is the highest price that someone wants for a given cryptocurrency, this is essentially the buying price. The bid price is the lowest price someone is willing to give you for a given cryptocurrency, this is basically the selling price.
I am full-time day trader of e-mini futures (ES and NQ) and -Binaries (on NADEX). I would like to diversify my portfolio and trade Crypto’s. I would like information on Demo trading accounts and legitimate Trading bots. I am also looking to get into Gladiacoin (are you familiar with this company)? If you are familiar with them, are they legitimate traders or are they a ponzi scheme? Thank you!
On the other hand, traders are in the for the short-term goal. Traders work according to the current charts and accordingly trade in the Crypto pairs. Traders goal is only to trade daily with their cryptocurrencies and generate their income. After a detailed analysis of the current market, they accordingly plan their strategy and play in the market. So decide properly what you want to do in the crypto world.
Trading forex and trading cryptocurrency isn’t en either/or option. Many traders like to do both simultaneously or switch back and forth as market conditions make one or the other more conducive to the kind of trading they enjoy. At the same time, there are those who would argue that the differences between cryptocurrencies and those traded on the foreign exchange markets are so great that you might as well compare trading in gold and buying and selling stocks and shares in tech companies.
For this reason, stocks have strict insider trading laws and processes that protect outsiders. The system is not perfect, but it at least incentivizes insiders not to trade on material non-public information. The punishment for insider trading activity is jail time, reputational damage, repatriation of profits, and severe fines, which is enough to scare most insiders.
We just had a quite interesting question from a user named Jacob: I noticed in your list it’s stated to never buy a cryptocurrency after a dump… but shouldn’t we be looking for low entries? After the dump I will watch the coin/market for a while to see how low it will get (for fib maybe back down to 23% or so) and then try to buy it there, thinking it will test the higher fib points in the future again. Is this such a bad strategy? Thanks! I was talking about pump-dump coins, and not if for example a… Read more »

Department of Corrections releases no details about inmate transfer from prison in Buckeye
The Arizona Department of Corrections, citing safety protocols, is releasing no information yet about the transfer of inmates from the department's Lewis prison in Buckeye.
"Security protocols prevent us from disclosing information at this time related to inmate movements including inmate numbers, location and time frames," said Andrew Wilder, a department spokesman, in an email.
Information on the move will be made public once it is completed, he said.
The department confirmed Monday that it was transferring close-custody inmates — people who require intensive supervision — from the Arizona State Prison Complex-Lewis to other state prisons.
Wilder told The Republic the department's goal is to reduce the number of inmates housed in cells with padlocks, to improve employee staffing levels, to increase safety and to begin preparing to install a long-term solution.
Groups representing both Arizona prison guards and inmates came together last week at the Capitol to denounce what they called an "avalanche of negligence" in the state's prison system.
Representatives from the Arizona Correctional Peace Officers Association and Middle Ground Prison Reform demanded state officials address widespread problems with cell-door locks they said were ignored for decades.
Critics said padlocks that were installed as a temporary fix could lead to deaths in the event of a fire.

The Department of Corrections also is under fire for poor medical treatment for inmates, with a federal judge threatening fines if the state does not comply by July 1 with certain standards of care.
Gov. Doug Ducey on Friday responded to an ABC 15 investigation on the broken locks at the Lewis prison and discussed whether longtime DOC director Charles Ryan was meeting job expectations.
"I am concerned by what I saw. I want to bring resolution to that, and that’s going to be my focus, but I want to get all the facts here before I make any comments on personnel."
Asked if his office had specifically allocated money for locks in past years, he said: "We have provided money to the Department of Corrections every year that I have been governor. We expect our prisons to be safe. We expect our men and women, as correctional officers, to be safe. And we expect problems like this to be resolved. We’re going to get to the bottom of it."
Asked if Ryan was meeting his expectations, he said: "I have an expectation. That expectation, from what I saw with this reporting, is not being met. So, we’re going to understand what’s there and we’re going to get to the bottom of it, but that’s all I want to say regarding personnel at this time ... We want to make certain that the correctional officers and prisoners are safe inside the prisons. That’s not what I saw."

HAMMOND, Ind. (AP) _ An FBI agent says there's no evidence that an Indiana man accused of threatening judges and police officers knew a couple who killed two Las Vegas police officers and a Wal-Mart shopper earlier this month.
Samuel Bradbury of Pine Village appeared for a probable cause hearing in U.S. District Court in Hammond Monday on charges tied to the alleged threats.
Police say Bradbury posted statements online that included death threats against two judges and two law enforcement officers.
Attorney Ashwin Cattamanchi says Bradbury was exercising his free speech rights and that his comments were satire.
FBI agent Troy Wohlfert says investigators have found no evidence supporting Bradbury's claim of ties to Jerad and Amanda Miller, who killed the Las Vegas officers.
Bradbury was ordered held without bond.

Rise of the Fours
If V-twins are so wonderful, why is it that (mostly) inline fours rule the roost? This picture (courtesy A Herl Inc) is a 1928 OPRA 500 Quattro (four) that amounts to ground zero for every four cylinder motorcycle that followed. Although there were a few fours in motorcycling’s early days, those had a longitudinal layout that made for an overlong wheelbase and a tendency to overheat. The transverse layout was considered too wide and needing to be too high in the frame (for ground clearance in corners) to be viable.
But in 1923 Carlo Gianni and Piero Remor, who had met as engineering undergraduates in Rome, became convinced that the perfect racing engine might just be a transverse four, with all four exhausts facing forward towards cooling air. Four cylinders rather than the usual one, or two arranged as an longitudinal vee, meant a low reciprocating weight of everything from valves to pistons to conrods which allowed the engine to spin faster. Torque – the turning effort of an engine – is multiplied the faster an engine spins, so higher revolutions should give more power.
The pair hired a workshop in Rome and produced a 490cc 1924 prototype referred to as a GRB (Gianini, Remor, and sponsor [Count] Bonmartini). It was an inline four cylinder four stroke with a single overhead camshaft driven by a bevel shaft that rose centrally from the front of the crankcases. The cylinders were almost vertical, with a narrow valve angle necessitated by the single overhead cam layout. Claimed output was 28bhp at 6000rpm.
When Bonmartini was joined by Count Lancelotti in 1927 they formed a new company, OPRA (Officine di Precisione Romane Automobilistiche). What eventually appeared from OPRA in 1928 was to be pretty much the blueprint for the post war Gilera and MV fours (with better brakes than the ones in the picture) with a gear driven twin cam head. This was now making up to 34bhp, 20% more than the Rudge single that was probably the most powerful example of a single cylinder racing motorcycle at the time.
The full story of the rise of the fours – along with much else – is in the 200-odd pages of The Road, available via the shop.

The name TINGIRA is a derivative of 'dingira' (pronounced din-GREER-a), a word meaning ‘sea’ in the language of the Badtjala people of Fraser Island, Queensland. Originally the clipper ship was called SOBRAON and was built by Alexander Hall of Aberdeen, launched in 1866. It was the largest composite ship ever built at the time and sailed on the England to Australia route for more than 20 years.
In 1891 the NSW Government purchased SOBRAON from Devitt and Moore, and was towed to Sydney Harbour arriving on 15 February 1891.
SOBRAON was acquired to replace the VERNON as a floating reformatory for boys. The ship underwent a series of modifications and became an Industrial School Ship, or Nautical School Ship, for underprivileged boys whom the court had found destitute, or for other reasons saw it fit to hand these boys into the strict, disciplinary life on board SOBRAON.
The boys were given an opportunity to learn the rudiments of a life at sea. The aim of this exercise was to encourage young lads to join the navy or merchant service which at this time was undergoing a dramatic change with steam ships replacing sailing ships. Apart from being disciplined, the boys were given the opportunity to develop their skills as tradesmen and were given a basic education both moral and academic. The band was in much demand on many an important ceremonial occasion.
On 25 April 1912 HMAS TINGIRA (ex-SOBRAON) was commissioned as the first naval training ship in the Royal Australian Navy. It became the training ship to thousands of young boys who chose the Navy as a career under the Department of the Navy’s boy enlistment scheme. TINGIRA did not head to sea for training, but remained moored at Rose Bay for the next 15 years.
By HMAS TINGIRA’s decommissioning in 1927, some 3,168 young boys had had their initial training on board.
In 1929 TINGIRA was bought by W M Ford, a prominent boat builder and floated outside his boatshed in Berry’s Bay. Ford died in 1935 and in 1936 Major Friere and Mrs Ankin negotiated to purchase TINGIRA for the sum of £2,600, and a company was formed to convert the ship into a floating museum, but because of financial difficulties this development failed. TINGIRA was purchased by Karlo Selvinen who finally broke her up in Berry’s Bay in 1942.

Sean McLachlan recently wrote a couple of interesting posts about the Vikings in North America for the travel blog Gadling. One was on L'Anse aux Meadows, the only confirmed Viking settlement in the New World. The other is on the controversial Kensington Runestone and other purported Vikings traces in the U.S. These runestones are problematic to say the least and may be modern forgeries.
There is a whole subculture in the United States of trying to prove that various ancient cultures arrived in the New World before Columbus. One of the more popular theories is that Saint Brendan voyaged to the New World.
Saint Brendan lived from about 484-577. Not much is known about his life for certain. One later account written in the ninth century, Voyage of St Brendan the Navigator, tells a fantastic tale of his seven-year journey to the Isle of the Blessed and back. This isle was supposedly far to the west out in the Atlantic. During their voyage, the saint and his companions meets devils, Judas, and sea monsters, and have many adventures. Time and against the saint protects his followers by calling on God.
While it seems like a Christian fable or morality tale, some people, especially Irish-Americans, think it proves that the early Irish visited the New World. There's no archaeological evidence for this, however and there is no mention of it in any of the Irish records besides the fantastical tale of Saint Brendan. One would think that Irish monks risking life and limb to preach to the native Americans would write an account of their exploits.
Back in 1976, adventurer Tim Severin decided to prove that Saint Brendan could have made the voyage. He constructed a currach, the traditional Irish boat of the times. These boats come in all sizes and are made of leather lashed onto a wooden frame. Severin's boat was 36 feet long and had two masts. A model is below. he and his crew sailed this unlikely craft all the way from Ireland to Newfoundland.
This was certainly an impressive feat. Showing that Brendan could have made it, however, doesn't prove that he did. Severin had the advantage of knowing where he was going!
While Severin was a serious investigator, the same can't be said for some of those searching for the early Irish in the New World. Barry Fell and other authors caused a craze in the 1970s when they claimed to have found numerous inscriptions of Ogam, an ancient Irish script, all over the United States. There's a good page on this controversy at the Council for West Virginia Archaeology website. Well worth a look.

By his own admission, Glen Durrant is his own worst critic. To run off six out of eight legs, and hit 6/9 on the finishing doubles, to knock out one of the in-form players in Krzysztof Ratajski, and after coming from a set behind, to win on your World Grand Prix debut, deserves some recognition.
The reigning BDO world champion made his first appearance in another PDC major last night, as he tackled the double-start format, unique to the World Grand Prix, in Dublin, and came through the first hurdle. But he did not have it all his own way.
Ratajski, the Polish number one, who was also making his debut in this event, arrived at the Citywest with his confidence sky high after winning the Gibraltar Darts Trophy, the last tournament on this year’s European Tour, only a few weeks earlier.
The performances Ratajski, a former World Master, put in on that final session in Gibraltar, coupled with Durrant’s impressive run at Blackpool in the summer, led many to label it as one of the ties of the first round.
But in the early exchanges, the match threatened to be a procession. Ratajski rattled off three consecutive 15-dart legs, the first and third punctuated with 100-plus finishes, to sweep the first set 3-0.
Durrant’s remaining score after each leg in the first set read: 156, 84 and 105. He had yet to have a shot at a checkout, let alone a finishing double. Yet one crumb of comfort he could take was that he was getting away quickly – he pinned double 16 first dart in each of the first three legs, it was just his scoring which was letting him down.
Could Ratajski continue that fine run of 15-dart legs after the break? No, he couldn’t. He went the first seven darts without scoring, which gave Durrant enough breathing space to get off the mark at the start of set two.
Ratajski replied with a 13-darter to show signs of his immediate demise were premature, but at this point Durrant was starting to go through the gears. A 13-darter of his own put him 2-1 up in the set and, after Ratajski missed two at double 18 for 2-2, Durrant was waiting to punish. A 119 setup shot from 151 left 32, which he hit first dart to force a third and final set.
Durrant’s opening throws in legs one and two, of 112 and 152, helped him establish a 2-0 lead, and a crucial break in a set in which Ratajski started first, and after the Pole missed two at double 19 to level at 2-2, Durrant was there to finish off 98 on the same target to book his place in round two.
His run to the World Matchplay semi-finals in July saw him battle through a nightmare draw. Adrian Lewis, round one. Michael van Gerwen, round two. James Wade, quarter-finals, before bowing out to Michael Smith.
If Durrant is to repeat that feat here in Dublin this week, it will be another tough route. Rob Cross, the world number two, waits in the last 16, then possibly Peter Wright in the last eight.
His double-in stats, take away the fourth leg of the second set, when Durrant missed his first six, and Ratajski his first seven, to get in, were world class: 10/13. Add to that he was 6/9 when getting down to a double.
Durrant will need to up his scoring when he does get in, which he eluded to afterwards. Three 140+ scores and zero maximums, while his next opponent Cross fired in five 140+ scores and four maximums in his first-round win against Mensur Suljovic last night.
Durrant has shown his battling qualities before in his past major wins over in the BDO, and of course that now infamous win at Q-School against Matthew Dennant, with his PDC tour card on the line at the start of this year.
It may not have been a flawless performance last night, but Durrant is still in the running in Dublin. Four more wins this week and he will be a PDC major winner.

Fingers in an overcoat pocket. Fingers sticking out of a black leather glove. The nails chewed raw. One play is called "Thieves' Market," another "Night in a Dime Museum." The fingers when they strip are like bewitching nude bathers or the fake wooden limbs in a cripple factory. No one ever sees the play: you put your hand in somebody else's pocket on the street and feel the action.

Influence of the Nature of the Retainer (Carrier) on the Catalytic Activity of the Catalyst in the Gas-Phase Synthesis of Vinyl Acetate from Ethylene
Main Article Content
The article examines the effect of γ-Аl2О3, high-silicon zeolite (HSZ), bentonite, expanded clay, the nature of bentonites, their porous structure, methods of preparation and modes on the activity of the catalyst consisting of palladium, copper and potassium acetate for the vapour phase synthesis of ethylene-vinyl acetate. IR spectra of the synthesized samples were recorded in the reflection mode in the range 400–4000 cm–1 using a Nexus Nicolet Fourier transform IR spectrometer (Thermo Scientific). Thermal studies (TG/DTG-DTA) were carried out on an STA-1500H thermal balance. The specific surface area was determined by the method of low-temperature nitrogen adsorption using a Quantachrome Autosorb-6B instrument. X-ray structural analysis (XRD) was investigated in the range 5–80° 2θ on a DRON 3M diffractometer using a CuKα (λ=1,54178 ̊A) radiation source. X-ray photoelectron spectra were recorded on a SERIES 800XPS Kratos photoelectron spectrometer. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) photomicrographs were obtained using a JEM100CX-II electron microscope.The specific surface area was determined by low-temperature argon adsorption on a Crystallux-4000M gas chromatograph. The size and radius of the pores were determined using mercury porometry directly on the amount of mercury compressed in them in a mercury porometric device that allows the measurement of the size of the pores. Vinyl acetate synthesis in a pilot device on a catalyst containing 0,4%Рd+4%Cu+7%CH3COOK/HSZ for 2000 hours at a temperature of 165 ℃, a pressure of 0.1 MPa, a vapour-gas mixture at a volumetric rate of 2000 h-1 and the amount of oxygen in the mixture with ethylene Performed when 7 vol.%. During 2000 hours of operation, the catalyst activity was 95-97% selectivity at 370-350 g of vinyl acetate/l. cat. hours.

The guitar is a popular musical instrument classified as a string instrument with anywhere from 4 to 18 strings, usually having 6. The sound is projected either acoustically or through electrical amplification (for an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar, respectively). It is typically played by strumming or plucking the strings with the right hand while fretting the strings with the left hand. The guitar is a type of chordophone, traditionally constructed from wood and strung with either gut, nylon or steel strings and distinguished from other chordophones by its construction and tuning. The modern guitar was preceded by the gittern, the vihuela, the four-course Renaissance guitar, and the five-course baroque guitar, all of which contributed to the development of the modern six-string instrument.
There are three main types of modern acoustic guitar: the classical guitar, the steel-string acoustic guitar, and the archtop guitar. The tone of an acoustic guitar is produced by the strings' vibration, amplified by the body of the guitar, which acts as a resonating chamber. The classical guitar is often played as a solo instrument using a comprehensive fingerpicking technique. The term fingerpicking can also refer to a specific tradition of folk, blues, bluegrass, and country guitar playing in the US.
Electric guitars, introduced in the 1930s, use an amplifier that can electronically manipulate and shape the tone. Early amplified guitars employed a hollow body, but a solid body was eventually found more suitable, as it was less prone to feedback. Electric guitars have had a continuing profound influence on popular culture.

Salmonella Infection in Emergency Medicine Medication
- Author: Michael D Owens, DO, MPH, FACEP, FAAEM; Chief Editor: Jeter (Jay) Pritchard Taylor, III, MD more...
Antibiotics, antidiarrheals, and glucocorticoids are used to treat symptoms and/or documented Salmonella infection.
Nontyphoid Salmonella gastroenteritis is generally self-limited. In a Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews article, 12 trials showed no significant change in the overall length of the illness or the related symptoms in otherwise healthy children and adults treated with a course of antibiotics for nontyphoid Salmonella disease. Antibiotics tend to increase adverse effects and prolong Salmonella detection in stools.
However, antibiotic treatment should be considered on a case-by-case basis to include patients with severe symptoms. Antibiotics are currently indicated for infants up to 2 months of age, elderly, immunocompromised, those with a history of sickle cell disease or prosthetic grafts, or patients who have extraintestinal findings. Treatment of those at-risk patients should last 2-5 days or until the patient is afebrile.
Salmonella infections are commonly treated with fluoroquinolones or third-generation cephalosporins, such as ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone. In 2004, the prevalence of resistance among nontyphoid Salmonella isolates was 2.6% for quinolones and 3.4% for third-generation cephalosporins.
Enteric or typhoid fever is best treated with antibiotics for 5-7 days for uncomplicated cases and up to 10-14 days for a severe infection. Bacteremia and focal infections may require antibiotics for up to 4-6 weeks depending on the site of infection and serotype of Salmonella. Specific surgical intervention is often necessary in conjunction with antibiotic management. Chronic Salmonella carriers require 1-3 months of oral antibiotics depending on the serotype, susceptibility, and antibiotic used.
Some evidence suggests that fluoroquinolones may be used in children with infections that are difficult to treat. When treating children and pregnant women, note that treatment with fluoroquinolones should be carefully weighed against the possibility of damaging developing cartilage. Ampicillin and amoxicillin have been the classic treatment of choice in pregnancy patients and neonates.
Salmonella antibiotic resistance is a global concern that includes multidrug resistant strains. Overuse, misuse, inappropriate antibiotic prescribing practices, and patient poor compliance lead to a continued increase in multidrug-resistant typhoid fever. Traditional first-line antibiotic medications include ampicillin, chloramphenicol, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Resistance to these first-line antibiotics defines multidrug resistance in S enterica. Despite the increase in ciprofloxacin resistance in typhoid and paratyphoid, it is still considered the drug of choice by many physicians. However, in the case of treatment failures, a third-generation cephalosporin and macrolide are good alternatives. The reemergence of chloramphenicol-sensitive strains in prior resistant organisms points towards the concept of antibiotic recycling.
Outbreaks show that a connection may exist between antimicrobial drug treatment and the risk of disease from Salmonella. A mouse model has shown enhanced ability of Salmonella to translocate the intestinal tract more easily in the presence of antibiotics.
Subsequently, stool and blood cultures and sensitivities are important, as susceptibilities not only vary depending on region of the world but also locally. In developing countries such as India, ciprofloxacin continues to be the mainstay of treatment, even though the incidence of resistant strains is increasing. Zinc and probiotic supplements have been shown to reduce the severity and duration of diarrhea.
Fluoroquinolone resistance is an important factor in Salmonellatyphi and was reported by the CDC to be 41.8% in 2004. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and chloramphenicol have a 13.2% prevalence of resistance in Salmonella typhi, while ampicillin, streptomycin, and sulfisoxazole are 11.8%.
In a Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews article, 38 trials showed a reduced clinical relapse rate using fluoroquinolones versus chloramphenicol. However, this same review was not statistically significant for clinical failure or microbiological failure and was limited for other comparisons including children. Additionally, because nalidixic acid resistance is no longer a reliable method for detecting decreased ciprofloxacin susceptibility, international in vitro studies suggest that gatifloxacin may be more active than ciprofloxacin in these isolates.
Fluoroquinolone with activity against pseudomonads, streptococci, MRSA, S epidermidis, and most gram-negative organisms but has no activity against anaerobes. Inhibits bacterial DNA synthesis and, consequently, growth. Is effective in treatment of long-term carriers of S typhi.
Acts by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. Binds reversibly to the 50S subunit of bacterial 70S ribosome and prevents attachment of the amino acid-containing end of the aminoacyl-tran to acceptor site on ribosome. Active in vitro against a wide variety of bacteria, including gram-positive, gram-negative, aerobic, and anaerobic organisms. Well-absorbed from GI tract and metabolized in the liver, where it is inactivated by conjugation with glucuronic acid and then excreted by the kidneys. Oral form is not available in the United States.
Inhibits bacterial growth by inhibiting synthesis of dihydrofolic acid.
Third-generation cephalosporin with broad-spectrum, gram-negative activity; lower efficacy against gram-positive organisms; higher efficacy against resistant organisms. Arrests bacterial growth by binding to one or more penicillin-binding proteins.
Acts by binding to 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible microorganisms and blocks dissociation of peptidyl tRNA from ribosomes, causing RNA-dependent protein synthesis to arrest. Nucleic acid synthesis is not affected.
Concentrates in phagocytes and fibroblasts as demonstrated by in vitro incubation techniques. In vivo studies suggest that concentration in phagocytes may contribute to drug distribution to inflamed tissues.
Treats mild-to-moderate microbial infections.
Interferes with synthesis of cell wall mucopeptides during active multiplication resulting in bactericidal activity against susceptible bacteria.
Broad-spectrum penicillin. Interferes with bacterial cell wall synthesis during active replication, causing bactericidal activity against susceptible organisms. Alternative to amoxicillin when unable to take medication orally.
Demonstrated effectiveness in treatment of gastroenteritis, invasive disease, and enteric fever.
Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to one or more of the penicillin-binding proteins; bacteria eventually lyse because of ongoing activity of cell wall autolytic enzymes while cell wall assembly is arrested.
Bactericidal activity is against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
Third-generation cephalosporin with broad gram-negative spectrum, lower efficacy against gram-positive organisms, and higher efficacy against resistant organisms. Arrests bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to one or more of the penicillin-binding proteins, which in turn inhibits bacterial growth. Used for septicemia and treatment of gynecologic infections caused by susceptible organisms.
Third-generation cephalosporin with gram-negative spectrum. Lower efficacy against gram-positive organisms.
Third-generation oral cephalosporin with broad activity against gram-negative bacteria. By binding to one or more of the penicillin-binding proteins, it arrests bacterial cell wall synthesis and inhibits bacterial growth.
Note: After a period of inavailability, oral Cefixime is again FDA-approved in tablet and suspension forms. However, at the time of writing, tablets remain unavailable in this country. Wyeth Pharmaceuticals (Collegeville, Pennsylvania) discontinued manufacturing cefixime (Suprax®) in the United States. In October 2002, the company ceased marketing cefixime tablets (200 mg and 400 mg) because of depletion of company inventory. Wyeth's patent for cefixime expired on November 10, 2002.
These agents may prolong the course of the disease. If used, they should be used sparingly.
Acts on intestinal muscles to inhibit peristalsis and slow intestinal motility. Prolongs movement of electrolytes and fluid through bowel and increases viscosity and loss of fluids and electrolytes. Available as 2-mg tablets and 1-mg/5-mL liquid.
Drug combination that consists of diphenoxylate, which is a constipating meperidine congener, and atropine to discourage abuse. Inhibits excessive GI propulsion and motility. Supplied as diphenoxylate 2.5 mg and atropine 0.025 mg per tablet or per 5 mL of liquid.
These agents may be indicated in patients with severe enteric or typhoid fever or significant complications such as CNS manifestations or DIC.
Used in the treatment of various inflammatory diseases. Decreases inflammation by suppressing the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and reversing increased capillary permeability.
