The GE TA-600B is a Solid State (Transistorized) 8-Track Tape Deck. Through my research I have discovered that it was first offered in 1972, and equipped with two microphones for stereo recording, with a low suggested price tag of $109.95! The TA-600B offered the same basic controls as with other similar 8-Track Tape Decks offered at the time including Fast Forward, Manual and Automatic Channel change, Record mode with input volume level controls and VU Meters for monitoring. The TA-600B could only record and playback two recording tracks at a time.
I acquired my GE TA-600B from a relative's garage sale several years ago. It came "Untested" with many boxes of pre-recorded and dubbed Polka music. It is a good thing that I had some Rock and Funk 8-tracks tapes by Queen and Casey and the Sunshine Band as Slovenien Polkas by Frankie Yankovic is really not my fare.
Upon connecting the GE TA-600B's stereo output to an amplifier, powering it on, and inserting a 8-track tape, I knew immediately the tape deck had a problem as a strange "motorboat" noise was coming out the both speakers instead of the sweet sound of "Shake Your Booty" by KC and the Sunshine Band.
Time to open up the GE TA-600B to discover what is amiss!
Radio Restoration Books on Amazon
I consult these books often during radio restoration. I grew up in the transistor and rectifier era and these books taught me a lot about vacuum tube and selium rectifier technology.
A rubber band is not a drive belt!
One of the first issues I noticed upon removing the cabinet from the TA-800A is that a previous owner replaced a broken drive belt with a rubber band. Please do not replace a drive belt with a rubber band. A rubber band has different elasticity properties than the drive belt and causes strain on the driver motor with may cause it to fail. A new drive belt for the TA-600B and many other models can be sourced at www.turntableneedles.com
Most drive belts from this site are a little under $10 and they include free shipping. Below is a link to the site.
For some reason vintage drive belts turn into this tar-like black goo as they age past their prime. This "goo" gets all over the pulleys, tape drive head, and other electro-mechical parts. I use denatured alcohol to throughly clean the drive belt "goo" from all internal workings then let it dry before replacing the drive belt. Below I am cleaning the drive pulley that drives the capstan.
Next I cleaned the pulley on the drive motor.
Finally, pictured below, is the new drive belt installed.
Electrolytic Capacitor Replacement
As electrolytic capacitors age, their electrolyte dries up causing their electrical capacity to drop and leakage current to increase. It is definitely a good idea to replace electrolytic capacitors that are over 40 years old!
If you follow my blog, you know that I am a big advocate on replacing vintage electrolytic capacitors even if they test "good". In fact, my first troubleshooting step in any vintage electronic equipment restore is to replace ALL of the vintage electrolytic capacitors.
Electrolytic capacitors should be replaced with one of the same or slightly greater capacitance and working voltage rating. For example, in most cases, it is perfectly acceptable to replace a vintage 3uF 12Volt electrolytic capacitor with a new 3.3uF 50Volt one. You will find non-standard electrolytic capacitors values in electronic equipment that were built before the electronic industry instituted standardized values.
Click on the "Capacitor Replacement Guide" button below to see a great web page regarding capacitor replacement in vintage equipment.
The first step was to replace the electrolytic capacitors, circled below, on the small printed circuit board. I believe this is a board that regulates the speed of the drive motors. I am not sure as I was unable to obtain a schematic for the TA-600B.
A lot of times I troubleshoot sans schematic if I can't source one for free. After all, it does not make sense to purchase a schematic from SAMS Photofact for $20 when you purchased a electronic device from a garage sale for $1.
I typically mark replaced electrolytic capacitors on the top with a black permanent marker because sometimes its difficult to discern the original from the new one.
The next step was to replace the three electrolytic capacitors, circled in red below, on the Power Supply board.
As you can see below, the replacement electrolytic capacitors are significantly smaller than the originals.
The left and right side of the main printed circuit board is a mirror of each other. The left side is the audio amplifier circuit for one stereo channel and the right side is the audio amplifier for the the other stereo channel. The two long metal cylindrical things toward the center of the printed circuit board are switches used to change the mode of the TA-500B from playback to record.
You can see that there are also mirrored patterns of electrolytic capacitors on the printed circuit board as well.
It took several evenings to replace all of the electrolytic capacitors in the TA-600B. I have about an hour each evening to truly devote to my hobby. Below is a picture of all of the discarded electrolytic capacitors from the TA-600B.
Electrolytic Capacitor Kits on Amazon!
With all the electrolytic capacitors replaced in the TA-600B, the moment had arrived to do some initial testing before performing any more troubleshooting. As mentioned, I have solved many issues with vintage equipment just by replacing all of the electrolytic capacitors.
I moved the chassis to a table close to my audio equipment rack then plugged the TA-600B's left and right channel stereo output RCA cables into the auxiliary inputs of my vintage Kenwood SX-580 AM/FM Stereo Receiver. I powered on both SX-580 and TA-600B then inserted an 8-track tape and heard........nothing! How disappointing, at least I got a distinct "motorboat" sound when I started this project. Duh, then I remembered that I needed to switch the selector on the SX-580 to Aux. Suddenly I heard the sweat sounds of KC and the Sunshine Band 8-Track coming out of both stereo channels of the Kenwood!
Simply replacing the electrolytic capacitors in the TA-600B had resolved all of its problems.
Oh, that's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh :-)
One of the last things I do with vintage electronic equipment is detail the external enclosure. Detailing involves meticulously cleaning the external cabinet then applying the proper protectant depending on if it is wood, metal, plastic, Bakelite, leather, or vinyl.
It was taught to me many years ago in vocational electronics that the last step in servicing a customers television, stereo, or other consumer electronics is to detail the cabinet. Most customers are more impressed on what you do on the outside of the cabinet then what you do on the inside!
I used Lemon Pledge to restore the shine in the wood veneer of the TA-600B's cabinet.
Q-tips work great for cleaning small crevices like switch slots on the front of the cabinet. I used Armor All automotive protectant to restore the shine in the black plastic faceplate of the TA-600B. In fact, many of my tools of trade in electronic detailing come from my automotive cleaning supplies.
Below is a picture of my newly repaired TA-600B gracing my audio rack.
Finally the TA-600B in action!

We’re excited to announce that we have been granted approval by the UK government to run an insurance based deposit protection scheme in England and Wales. We currently run the only custodial based deposit protection scheme in England and Wales and we will be the only scheme to offer landlords and letting agents both options.
The new insured scheme is due to launch in April 2013, with landlords and letting agents able to register in advance from the 1st October 2012.
Following in the footsteps of our custodial scheme, landlords and letting agents will be able to register with the service online as well as by phone, and manage both their custodial and insured deposits through one easy online account.
The DPS insured scheme will not charge registration fees to customers and will provide industry competitive protection fees for landlords and letting agents when the scheme launches in April.
Participation in The DPS insured scheme will be open to all private landlords on a pay as you go basis. Letting agents will need to be members of professional bodies with Client Money Protection insurance.
A one stop shop
With the addition of the insured option, we’re able to provide customers with what is effectively a ‘one stop shop’ for deposit protection. Kevin Firth, Director of The DPS, said:
“We’re delighted to be able to announce a new insurance based deposit protection scheme from The DPS brand. We strive to provide the industry with an excellent service and offering both insured and custodial options will ensure landlords and letting agents have the choice of protection from the leading supplier of TDP in the UK.”

About 6-8 hours of travel from NYC, Niagara Falls refers to the three waterfalls found in the border of Ontario, CA and upstate New York, USA: Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls. It’s interesting that the combined power of the Niagara Falls is unbeatable in the world!
Before we headed out to board the Maid of the Mist, we first went into the Prospect Point Park Observation Tower and were given a preview of what is to come!
We boarded the Maid of the Mist boat from the NY side of the Niagara River and were provided with blue raincoats. We sailed through the mist right up to the base of the three waterfalls. What a thrilling (and wet) ride!
Hmm, I wonder if Niagara falls is more beautiful from the Canadian side. Nevertheless, Niagara Falls is one of the most amazing things I’ve seen in this lifetime. If you happen to be in New York or in the East Coast, I think the drive up to Niagara Falls is all worth it.

Posté le: Sam 6 Oct - 04:21 (2018) Sujet du message: their seven draft picks under
The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed rookie receiver DJ Chark to a four-year contract worth about $4.5 million. A second-round draft pick from LSU Womens Paul Byron Jersey , Chark was slotted to get a $1.3 million signing bonus. He was the 61st overall selection. The 6-foot-4 Chark caught 66 passes for 1,351 yards and six touchdowns in four years with the Tigers. He had a career-high 40 receptions for 874 yards as the team’s top target in 2017. The speedy Chark also ranked second in the Southeastern Conference by averaging 10.6 yards a punt return. He finished his college career with 1 Patrice Bergeron Jersey ,817 all-purpose yards. Chark says ”to finally put your name on that piece of paper to solidify that you are indeed a player here is a surreal moment. I can’t even put it in words right now.” The Jaguars have six of their seven draft picks under contract. Only first-round defensive lineman Taven Bryan remains unsigned. —
Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis backed away from plans to retire after the 2018 season this spring and said in June that he is “very open to the possibility” of playing another year in 2019. As it turns out, Davis is wide open to the possibility and he’d like to continue as a member of the Panthers. Davis said on Monday that he will be back in 2019 “if the team is willing to have me back.” Davis went on to explain that the four-game suspension he’ll serve to start the year is a major factor in his decision. “I look at the way things transpired this offseason and think back to Reilly Smith Jersey , really, my legacy and the things that I’ve been able to do as a football player Cody Eakin Jersey ,” Davis said, via the team’s website. “I don’t want to leave on a sour note. You never want to walk away from the game knowing that you served a four-game suspension. That’s my mindset right now.” Davis is not under contract for the 2019 season Patric Hornqvist Jersey , but his long history with the organization likely means that a healthy and effective 2018 season would probably pave the way for at least one more year in a Panthers uniform.

API 5L ERW Pipe
and tubes are used in various engineering purposes, fencing, scaffolding, line pipes etc. and tube are available in various qualities, wall thicknesses, and diameters of the finished pipes.
1.As only the edges are heated, the tube possesses dean accurate surface.
2.Safety is better than smls pipe.
3.The cost is cheaper than smls pipe and LSAW pipe.
4.Manufacturing speed is quicker than seamless pipe or sub merged welded pipes.
API 5L ERW pipe Applications :
(i) Electric resistance welding can make tubes in sizes up to 0.4 metre diameter.
(ii) Tubes can also be made from steels having around 0.3% carbon.
Major advantage is economy and especially in low pressure application. More and more engineering company will prefer API 5L ERW pipe rather seamless pipe or LSAW pipe.


The unit 3 reactor at California's San Onofre nuclear plant began an unplanned shutdown Tuesday evening after sensors picked up a leak in one of the reactor's steam generator tubes.
The San Onofre plant is on the Pacific Ocean coast near San Clemente north of San Diego. It consists of two units, No. 2 and No. 3. No. 1 was shut down permanently in 1992. It is one of two nuclear plants that generate electricity in Southern California; the other is the Diablo Canyon plant in San Luis Obispo County.
There are 8.4 million people within 50 miles of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station - between San Diego and Los Angeles.
According to plant operator Southern California Edison: "The potential leak poses no imminent danger to the public or plant workers. There has been no release to the atmosphere."
UPDATE: The San Diego Union-Tribune reports:
San Onofre spokesman Gil Alexander said sensors... showing mildly radioactive water was leaking from one of two water systems in the steam generator apparatus of Unit 3.
The water that touches the radioactive fuel rods--the water that is now leaking--is sealed in a series of tubes that, in turn, transfer heat to boil water in the second course. That non-radioactive water becomes the steam that turns the massive turbine blades.
A third course of seawater condenses the steam in another part of the plant.
Alexander said it is the system with the contaminated water that shows evidence of leaking. All leakage is contained within the thick concrete containment dome, he said.

OTSEGO, MI — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s demolition of a building containing asbestos in Otsego is under way.
The EPA is on site this week, executing a plan to spend an estimated nearly $1 million to demolish Rock Tenn Paper Mill, 431 Helen Avenue, which is contaminated with asbestos, Paul Ruesch of the EPA said.
“That building was trashed. It was really dangerous,” Ruesch said on Friday, May 10, as demolition was progressing and much of the building had come down.
“I’m happy the EPA is able to take away the environmental hazard and the safety hazard,” he said.
Workers used heavy machinery equipped with shears, grapples and other tools to begin ripping down parts of the building this week, and a process is in place to control the dust during the project, Ruesch said. Contractors licensed to work with asbestos materials will remove the debris from the site and it will be disposed of in a special way, he said.
Beginning in the next week, residents will see an increase of slow-moving traffic on West River Street (also known as 106th Avenue) as trucks haul materials off the site, Ruesch said. People will be there using flags to alert motorists.
Some metal pieces will remain on the site once crews leave the area, Ruesch said on Friday.
The work began in April and is expected to be complete by the end of May, he said, and the project is expected to come in significantly under budget.
A previous environmental assessment identified asbestos contamination at the building that was part of the former RockTenn paper mill at 431 Helen Avenue in Otsego, Allegan County Executive Director of Services Dan Wedge has said. Allegan County took ownership of the 48-acre property that includes the building where asbestos was found through a tax foreclosure, Wedge said.
The project announcement comes after a joint request from the Allegan County Treasurer’s Office and the City of Otsego submitted June 28. The funds have been made available under the EPA Time-Critical Removal Action, Allegan County said.
The funding allows for the entire power house building to be demolished and removed by EPA contractors, the county said.
The money comes from U.S. EPA funds for Superfund sites, and the EPA will attempt to recover the cost from responsible parties, Ruesch said.
The paper mill closed in 2004. Anthony M. Davis of Canton bought the former Rock-Tenn site in 2006 and the property entered foreclosure in April 2011 after Davis’ company, Cogswell Property LLF, failed to pay overdue property taxes.
In 2012, the EPA arranged to remove about 200 drums and bins of toxic waste from the former RockTenn site.
The land is for sale now and will be available for purchase for a minimal investment, Wedge said previously. The demolition is meant to help bring more redevelopment opportunities, he said.

Roughly 200,000 civilians have attempted to evacuate the city in recent days without success. The destruction — and the death toll — is mounting.
Deputy Mayor Sergei Orlov said on MSNBC that his estimate of 1,200 civilian deaths in the city is likely too low, with the final numbers likely three or four times higher.
“We cannot imagine how it’s possible,” he said.
Russia has made significant gains on the ground in the country’s south in an apparent bid to cut off Ukraine’s access to the sea.
Capturing Mariupol, a strategic port city of 400,000 people in the southeastern Donetsk region, could allow Russia to build a land corridor to Crimea, which it annexed in 2014.
NBC News spoke with one resident still inside the city and several Mariupol natives this week who managed to escape.
Yuri Bakulin has been posting videos from inside the city on social media, showing him driving along quiet, snow-covered roads.
He said he had decided to stay despite the deteriorating situation. His family has access to water via a well, he said via Telegram on Thursday, as well as generators for electricity.
Bakulin, 19, said he was due to finish his studies before Russia invaded. Now, he said, he had found purpose in visiting families who have no internet to contact their loved ones and filming videos to send on and show they are still alive. He said he was just trying to “not fall into a stupor.”


Special to the Herald
Editor’s note: This story is part of an occasional series highlighting senior interns in Cranston Public Schools.
When Cranston High School West senior Pilar DaLomba decided she was interested in an internship, she was more than willing to go the extra mile to obtain what she wanted.
DaLomba is also a student in the Medical Pathways program at the Cranston Area Career and Technical Center, or CACTC. Prior to last summer, she had learned of an internship at Hasbro Hospital for students who had their CNA certification.
Although earning a CNA certification in time for graduation is part of DaLomba’s program at CACTC, she had not yet reached that part of the program. Not wanting to see an opportunity pass her by, she signed up for an Adult Education program twice a week for four months in order to get her CNA certification ahead of her peers at CACTC, and secured her internship at Hasbro as well.
The Seacole Scholar Program at Hasbro was a paid nursing internship for youth CNAs that began when school ended for the summer. It ran Monday through Thursday from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. with workshops weekly on Fridays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. all summer long.
“I saw this not only as an opportunity for an internship but also as an opportunity to work as a CNA when I am in college,” DaLomba said. “I want to go to nursing school and having this would be a tremendous help.”
DaLomba was in the medical surgical unit, which services children ages 0-21. The oldest patient she saw was 19.
“I got to watch unit procedures like the cleaning of a central line, and I learned about all different diseases and how they present themselves,” she said. “I also got to be with the patients and help to make them more comfortable, because being there can be traumatic. The Friday workshops helped me gain more professional skills that will help me, like networking skills and interview skills for when I interview for a position. I learned how to portray myself in a job interview and in the workplace. I learned about things like microaggression in the workplace and body language.”
She also saw cases of appendicitis and psych admissions where patients were there for multiple weeks at a time.
“I really saw a lot,” she said.
DaLomba left with an increased awareness and a new perspective that she didn’t necessarily expect.
“This experience taught me to be grateful for what I have, because I saw kids my own age and kids younger than me that were there. I saw a patient who was assaulted by their sibling and didn’t feel safe going home,” she said. “I knew that things like this happened, but I didn’t believe I’d actually see it, and yet it happens all the time.”
As a student in the Medical Pathways program at CACTC, DaLomba felt very prepared for her internship and saw many of the skills she had learned in her program coming up on the job.
“I saw a lot of the diseases we studied, a lot of the ethics we had talked about, and I got to see and understand what it meant when we talked about hearing crackles in someone’s lungs, for example,” she said. “I also saw everything from the first year of our program when I completed the CNA course. It surprised me how alike the courses were, and a lot of the doctors and nurses were surprised at what I knew just from Medical Pathways.”
DaLomba was a standout student during one unexpected visit from an infectious disease team, also thanks to her prior training.
“They came onto our floor and did a surprise inspection,” she said. “We were all in our infectious disease gear, including the medical students. I was the only one who took it all off correctly. I was just 16 at the time and they were so impressed.”
The internship opportunity made DaLomba certain that she has chosen the correct path for the next steps in her educational journey.
“This made me realize that this is where I want to be, that this is what I want to do,” she said. “I had these experiences while I was young so that I don’t go to college for nursing, only to realize it’s not where I want to be.”
DaLomba has applied to several schools and hopes to get her doctorate in nursing practice and to go on and be a nurse practitioner with a doctorate.

The Second World War is famed for being the conflict that changed the face of warfare, and it is the last that changed the face of the world. In addition to remembering those that passed away in those dark days of war, a sincere debt of gratitude is owed to all those now in their twilight years who gave all that they had for King and Country.
Here Gary Bridson-Daley presents forty-two of over a hundred interviews he conducted with veterans over recent years, adding to the history books the words and the original poetry of those that fought and supported the war effort to ensure freedom, peace and prosperity for generations to come. From each corner of the British Isles and every armed service, from Dam Buster George `Johnny' Johnson through to riveter Susan Jones: heroes, all.
Gary Bridson-Daley hails from Manchester and has always had a keen interest in world history, especially the Second World War. Working as a tour manager in travel and tourism for over fifteen years led him to extensive worldwide travel and exposure to many countries and cultures. This, along with a deep respect for the freedom bought for us by the efforts and service of Second World War veterans, inspired him to begin the `Debt of Gratitude' project and to publish it in the form of The Last Heroes in order to honour those who served and to capture their precious stories for posterity.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Christopher Tsattalios.
Christopher, before we jump into specific questions about your work, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I was born and raised in Sydney, Australia. Growing up in a family that was heavily into the sport, I wasn’t aware of my passion for dance yet. I didn’t go and search for it, it kind of found me. I was asked to go to a friends dancing concert at age five and when I sat in the audience that day I was amazed at what was going on. I had never seen anything like this, the colors, costumes, lights, and movement – I fell in love instantly. from that moment onwards I asked my parents to put me in after school dance classes and have never looked back. That quickly evolved into singing and acting classes too. I wasn’t always the most talented one, it took me years to apply what was in my head to my body, I had a lot of work to do, but I had a lot of love and commitment and that lead me to where I am today.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It has most definitely not been a smooth run. Growing up being the overweight kid, I was often laughed at for being a dancer. I would go to auditions and sometimes have the panel have a giggle at me while I was auditioning. It was extremely hard and caused me to have a lot of body image issues. It wasn’t until I went to Brent Street in Sydney AU, things changed for me. I was surrounded by the most mind blowing talent (students and teachers) that I knew I needed to make a change quick smart. From that moment onwards I had put my head down and focused on my future. I never socialized, I would spend hours researching dance history, I would create vision boards and write down all the goals I wanted to achieve. I didn’t go to a performing arts high school but any free time I had I was in my school hall practicing anything and everything I could to be better and put in the extra work. Since then I have accomplished what I have wanted and made new goals along the way. I have had a lot of ups and downs in my career thus far, major highs being on incredible movie sets and television series and performing with some of the worlds biggest music icons, and some lows where work stands still, no income coming through, living overseas and struggling on my own to losing my beautiful mother whilst chasing my dreams in LA. It has not been smooth, but throughout the struggle, I have managed to pick myself up out of the dark times and find the light again. I’m just never willing to give up if I believe in something.
We’d love to hear more about your work.
I am a professional dancer here in LA. I started my career in Sydney 10 years ago when I was just 18 years old. I am so proud of how far I have come. Some highlight in my career include XFactor Australia where I performed in multiple episodes for years. I have filmed multiple movie musicals which is what I love most. I have worked with artists including Ricky Martin, Janet Jackson, Katy Perry, Gwen Stefani, GRL, Kylie Minogue, Natalie La Rose, Lil John, Daddy Yankee, Havana Brown, Jessica Mauboy, Maluma, Delta Goodrem, Jessica Mauboy, Sam Sparro, Dolly Pardon & Paula Abdul to name a few. I was a top 20 contestant on SYTYCD Australia. It was such an epic and once in a lifetime experience. My judges for that season were Aaron Cash, Jason Gilkinson, Shannon Holtzapfell & Paula Abdul . . . I’m currently working on Paula Abdul’s Las Vegas Residency as one of her dancers which has been such an awesome experience. Paula Abdul has been one of the biggest learning experiences in my career so far. I’m blown away by her talent, her commitment, her dedication to her work, she has shown me a whole new level of hard work. I’m very grateful for her. On the side, I have done a lot of assistant choreography work which has led me into so many new pathways and has been such a great learning experience. I have been lucky enough to work with some major choreographers including Kenny Wormald, Robin Antin, Brian Friedman, Kelley Abbey, Cris Judd, Marko Panzic, The Squared Division, Jason Gilkison, Tessandra Chavez, Kenny Ortega, Liz Imperio, Galen Hooks, Tyce Diorio, Matt Lee, Debbie Allen, Nappy Tabs & many more. These achievements make me feel extremely happy and lucky to be doing what I love. All these people and events have shaped me into the performer I am today and have helped me establish myself in this industry.
What were you like growing up?
Growing up, I was very outgoing. Happy and bubbly – nothing much has changed. My head was always in the clouds dreaming of performing and entertaining ha! I was always very emotional too, I used my performing to express how I felt when I couldn’t in person at times. On the side I did play soccer because my family was heavily into it I was kind of good but whenever I scored a goal I would jump into the splits and hit a pose so I was for sure in the wrong line of work there haha.

Monkey Shoulder plays with the conventions of the whisky category. A 100% malt whisky made for mixing, the brand has steadily grown achieving top-trending status amongst the world’s best bartenders and becoming a favourite with whisky enthusiasts. Given this success, Monkey Shoulder is now on a mission to grow at scale by mixing with a new, younger generation of whisky drinkers whilst retaining its authenticity and credibility.
Reflecting its playful attitude, Space has developed a new global brand identity for Monkey Shoulder through a creative collaboration with Studio Number One founded by Shepard Fairey, US activist and street artist, famous for the iconic Obama “HOPE” poster. Paying homage to the Studio’s signature style rooted in “protest” and “industrial graphics”, a flexible design world full of compositions, backgrounds and illustrations has been created with Monkey Shoulder assets and colourways.
This bold, colourful and distinctive identity provides a platform for moments of playful escapism for young adults whose life is becoming more complicated and full of responsibilities.
The illustrative visual world now informs the brand’s global communications across out of home advertising, creative experiences and social content.
The work is being rolled out across key markets and has already featured in a major OOH campaign across France, a world-first paint-bombing billboard activation in the UK and been adopted extensively across the brand’s social channels.
Serve films featuring signature Monkey Shoulder cocktails, content created by local market brand ambassadors and a seasonal calendar of stories to support local market initiatives feature this new visual identity with a distinctive tone of voice to give the brand a consistent look and feel across its global and local social channels.

Watermelon, a delicious fruit, is usually grown in the dry season. But 20 farmers of Natundia and Gowara villages in Rupsha upazila of Khulna district achieved an enviable success by farming it during its off-season.
They cultivated watermelon on bamboo platforms near fish enclosures and brought a marked change in their fate.Watermelons were hanging like pumpkins on bamboo platforms and the farmers warped those in net bags for their weight management.
According to the farmers, their hard work has brought a tremendous joy for them as the yield is very good.
Due to its good taste, the demand for watermelon has increased in different areas. Many people are coming to see the beautiful scenes of watermelon hanging from platforms.
Impressed by the yield, some are buying watermelon right from the field. Wholesale buyers are also coming to buy watermelon as there is a good demand in the market, said the farmers.
Seeing their success, other farmers in the region are showing interest in watermelon cultivation.
According to the Rupsha Agriculture Department, they encouraged farmers to plant watermelon when they become jobless due to corona restrictions.Although farmers did not show much interest in the off-season fruit cultivation first, a list of interested farmers was made at the initiative of upazila agriculture officers.
With support from Upazila Parishad Development Fund, the farmers were later given free watermelon seeds, organic fertilizer, pheromone traps and sticky traps.
Besides, the farmers were trained on how to grow watermelon safely.
According to the Department of Agriculture, each green striped sweet dragon, black diamond and sweet dragon pakija variety of watermelon can grow up to 15 kg, while green spotted Kania variety (yellow inside) watermelon up to 3 to 4 kg.
Farmers can harvest these varieties of watermelon within 60-70 days of planting, according to the department.
Devyani Mukherjee, Champa Adhikari, Chandra Bairagi, Vibechu Hira from Gowara village and Sabuj Bairagi and Shuvra Bairagi from Natundia village, said they had received watermelon seeds and other materials with the support from the agriculture office.
There is a good yield of watermelon and they are also getting good prices as well due to its high demand in the market, said the farmers.
Rupsha Upazila agriculture officer Fariduzzaman said the off-season watermelons were planted in Natundia and Gowara villages for the first time.
He hoped that watermelon cultivation would increase in the area in the future and assured that the cooperation of the agriculture department would continue.

|Chapter 6: Reactions of Alkenes: Addition Reactions|
Halogenation of Alkenes
|These 3D JSMOL images show the structure of
the bromonium ion formed during the reaction of ethene with Br2. Note how the Br is attached to both the C atoms.
QUESTION : What is the formal charge on the bromine atom ? ANSWER
When the Br- nucleophile attacks, it order to reach the C atoms, it will
attack from the least hindered face, the side opposite to the large Br in
|MECHANISM FOR REACTION OF ALKENES WITH HALOGENS|
The π electrons act as a nucleophile, attacking the bromine, displacing a bromide ion but forming a cationic cyclic bromonium ion as an intermediate.
Attack of the nucleophilic bromide from the side away from the bromonium center opens the cyclic bromonium ion to give overall anti addition.

Stark's main initiatives were rapprochement with France, which was still bankrupt after the devastation of the Anglo-Spanish wars of the first half of the 18th Century, as well as encouraging policies independent of Great Britain, which had largerly excerted unproporsional influence on Swiss governance for several years. He ran against Lord Kohleschmied in the 1749 Elections, representing the Swiss Progressives Assembly (SPA), but was defeated by the popular incumbent. He subsequently retained his job as Minister of State for several months, till June of 1749, when he was sacked by the King.
Early Life and CareerEdit
Edmond Stark was born in Calais, France, the son of an English diplomat and a German mother. His father moved the family to Berne, Switzerland when Edmond was only a year old, serving as legal attaché to the British garrison there. Edmond's father would attain a significant reputation in the canton and nearby communes for being a steadfast lawyer, and the Stark's soon became a wealthy family.
Due to his father's increasing wealth, Edmond was able to be sent to the prestigious University of Vienna, where he studied alongside important politicians and individuals of the time, including studying under Lord Jozef Kohleschmied, who served as a professor of political studies there.
Upon completion of his baccalaureate in 1729, Edmond returned home to Berne, where he would wed and enter into the legal practice, like his father before him. In 1731, after the conquest of King Ryan, Edmond would be tapped by the incoming government of Lord Tyler Kroshbon to serve as legal attaché to the Swiss Embassy in Vienna, citing his father's experience in the position, and Edmond's personal knowledge of Austrian politics.
In 1739, after 8 years of serving as legal attaché in Vienna, Edmond was recalled to Switzerland where he was given a new task, to serve as Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. The Swiss, who were at odds with the Kingdom of Romania, wished to seek closer ties with the Romanian's historical rivals, the Turks, to place their enemies in an even tighter position.
Edmond's work in Istanbul would ultimately reward the Swiss with a bilateral trade treaty with the Ottomans in 1740, that would infuriate the Romanians to a breaking point, which would later come in December 1741, when Romania declared war in the so-called "War of Romanian Aggression".
Edmond would continue as Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire until early 1742, when he would be transferred to Coppenhagen and become Ambassador to Denmark-Norway.
In 1746, he was recalled to Berne, where he would be appointed Principal Secretary for the Minister of State, effectively the Minister's chief of staff. Stark would remain Principal Secretary until August of 1748, when then Minister of State, Sir Sebastian Spark, would be arrested and later executed for treason, propelling Edmond to the Ministership.
Emboldened by his recent rise, Edmond sought the Swiss Progressive Assembly's nomination on the 1749 ticket for Prime Minister. The election was hard fought, and Stark was successful in gaining the majority vote from the Kanton of Berne in the primaries. As the election continued on, however, his campaign was attacked by the British special interests, who were very influential in the Swiss political sphere at the time. Losing his majority to Lord Kohleschmied, Edmond fought to defeat his successor as Ambassador to Denmark-Norway, Sir William Keelspinner. After Danish interests publicly backed Keelspinner's campaign, Stark formally conceded the race to his successor. When Lord Kohleschmied defeated Keelspinner in the General Election, he sought to keep Stark on as Foreign Minister.
Edmond's most important achievement as Minister was regarded as his work alongside the Prime Minister, Lord Kohleschmied, in negotiating the Franco-Swiss Defensive Pact of 1749, which propelled France to Switzerland's most important ally, a treaty that would be severed only one year later, when a palace coup ousted King Louis XV from the throne and gave it to Louis Phillipe I, a former admiral of King Phillip V of Spain. France would be unrecognized by Switzerland, and tensions between the two would rise in the following years.
Edmond would later be blamed for not containing the outbreak of the War of the Sardinian Succession, and being unable to solve the dispute with King Ishmael Emmanuel Decksteel, who had named himself King of Italy and claimed the lands of multiple regional powers, including the Swiss.
Due to his failure is containing the war, Edmond would be sacked six days after the war's outbreak by King Alexander. Edmond would remain in Berne, where he would return to the legal practice following his ouster.
Edmond Stark was seen as a valuable career bureaucrat and civil servant, able to help tone relations in several states during his work in numerous embassies. His ability to act as a purveyor of Swiss foreign policy, however, was seen as inept, and he was oftentimes seen as one of the more weaker Ministers of State.


SpaceX has successfully launched its Starship rocket on its second test flight, marking a significant step forward in the development of the world's most powerful rocket. The launch, which took place from the Starbase facility near Boca Chica Beach in South Texas, demonstrated the rocket's ability to separate its stages and reach a height of 148 kilometers, surpassing the achievements of its first test flight in April.
Although the Super Heavy booster exploded shortly after separation, and the Starship upper stage experienced issues, SpaceX considered the test a success and plans to analyze the data for future improvements.
Elon Musk's ambitious vision for Starship includes its use for space tourism, colonizing Mars, and carrying heavy payloads into space. SpaceX has been selected by NASA to land astronauts on the moon as part of the Artemis program, with the goal of returning humans to the lunar surface by 2025 or 2026. The Starship's potential to revolutionize space transportation by making both stages reusable could significantly reduce the cost of space missions and open up new possibilities for exploration beyond Earth.
Despite the challenges and setbacks, experts remain optimistic about SpaceX's progress with Starship and its potential to reshape the future of space travel. The company continues to push the boundaries of rocket technology and learn from each test flight, moving closer to achieving its ambitious goals.


Spring-like temperatures around the region will make this weekend a mess in terms of both the snow on the ground and the precipitaiton falling from the sky.
Short Term Forecast
The next 72-hours across the Upper Midwest will bring 3 different small scale systems through, all just as unexciting as the last. Right now, with the exception of extreme northern Minnesota, most of the precipitation from these systems will falls as either rain, freezing rain, or sleet. This is because of the complete lack of arctic air in the atmosphere over the area at this time. This will also keep our temperatures rather steady between day and night across the region, and above freezing as well.
All said and done, don’t look for anyone to pick up more than a dusting of snow anywhere across the region between now and the beginning of next week. That combined with the warm overnight temperatures means the slopes stand to be pretty slushy over the weekend.
The long term at least gives us a bit more hope for snow with a large low pressure system moving through the region on Tuesday/Wednesday. As with most of the storms this year, both the Euro and GFS models are keeping it further south along the Iowa-Minnesota border at this time, which is bad in terms of accumulation amounts, but good in terms of precipitation type (all snow). While it’s way too far to exactly pinpoint the lows location for next week, it does seem to have many similarities (as we have had lots this year) to our weekly low pressure system. So with that being said, wouldn’t be too surprised to see 2-4” of snow during next week further north, and if we say on the correct side of the low further south, another 1-2” in central MN and WI.
Enjoy the slush?!

When sewage begins backing up into your bathtub, it can be both a nuisance and a health hazard. Not only does this unsanitary situation create a mess that needs to immediately be cleaned up and disposed of, but it also poses potential health risks due to the presence of hazardous bacteria and pathogens that accompany sewage water.
It’s important to thoroughly clean and sanitize the affected area, as well as identify the root cause of the backup in order to ensure the problem doesn’t continue. Failing to properly address a sewage backup can easily lead to further issues down the line.
What Causes Sewer Backup In A Bathtub?
Sewer backups in bathtubs can be caused by various issues, a few of the most common including:
Blockages Due To Debris Buildup
Sewage backups occur when debris builds up along the pipes and prevents water from easily flowing down the drain. While occasional small clogs from everyday materials can usually be cleared with a plunger, heavier debris buildup can cause significant blockages that prevent liquids such as sewage from exiting the pipes.
In cases of extensive debris buildup, a blockage can build up large enough to cause toilet water, wastewater, or even sewage to then back up further into other parts of the plumbing system such as tubs and showers without warning.
To avoid sewage backup it is important to use relevant products such as strainers and sink plugs on sinks, bathtubs, and showers to help limit potential clogging material. If a clog has already begun forming, ensure regular cleaning maintenance is performed by either a plumbing professional or yourself in order to clear any existing clogs before they become too large.
Tree Roots Pushing Into The Sewer Line
Tree roots can cause a significant blockage within sewage lines when they penetrate the line and force their way towards the drainage. This blockage can impede the flow of sewage away from your home and lead to a backup in areas like bathtubs.
To avoid such an occurrence, it is important to maintain knowledge of where there are trees on your property, as well as how large they have grown. Regular plumbing inspections can also identify any signs of problems before they start.
A Collapsed Line
Sewage backup into a bathtub can occur when the sewer line leading away from the bathroom fixture collapses or becomes blocked by an object. When this happens, the pressure of waste trying to leave the sewage pipes increases, causing it to travel in the opposite direction and flow up into the bathtub. This could be due to damage from invasive tree roots, corrosion due to aging pipes, or simple clogs like hair, toiletries, and food scraps that are flushed down the drain.
Corrosion And Aging Infrastructure Of Pipes
In some cases, corrosion and aging infrastructure of pipes can be the root cause of a backup in your bathtub.
Oftentimes, this is due to corrosion build-up on the interior surface of plumbing lines that will eventually reduce diameter and lead to higher friction in the line due to decreased discharge flow. This can result in an increase of negative pressure and push sewage back into the bathtub drain, resulting in a messy cleanup.
Improper Plumbing Venting
Sewage backups in bathtubs can also be caused by inadequate plumbing venting. The sewer gas that is created when wastewater flows out of a home needs to escape through the house’s drain system and out into the atmosphere in order to provide healthy indoor air quality. Without appropriate venting, this gas will remain trapped in the drainage lines creating a vacuum-like effect which causes water, including sewage, to be pulled back up the pipes into unwanted areas such as the bathtub.
Sewage Coming Up Bathroom Drain: What To Do
Sewage backups are not only unpleasant but can cause significant damage to your property if not addressed quickly. You should consult with a professional plumber immediately when such problems arise in order to ensure it is resolved properly and to avoid further damage.
Solving this type of issue will likely require either blockage removal or piping repairs and possible replacement. Having a plumber assess your sewer line is important as they can locate the source of the problem and implement the best solution to prevent further damage from occurring.

Laoag City health satellite office opens for faster servicesBy: Carlo P. Canares
LAOAG CITY, Jan. 12 (PIA) -- The Laoag City Health Office has opened its satellite office near the Land Transportation Office in Barangay 23 Laoag City.
Elsa Paguyo of the City Health Office said the satellite office will have a medical doctor, nurses, sanitary inspector and a clerk. It offers laboratory services particularly for drug testing; and other health services.
“Our clients are mostly those applying for driver’s license at the LTO who are in need of medical certificates and who have to undergo drug testing,” Paguyo said.
She said putting up the satellite office near the LTO would provide easier access and faster services to the public.
“Drivers and other clients need not go to the City Health Office beside the Laoag City Hall which is more than a kilometer away from the LTO. The satellite office is just walking distance and they can have the result of the drug test and medical certificate immediately. This is bringing government closer to the people,” she said.
The satellite office will also earn additional income for the city government since applicants might opt to avail of its services rather than of private hospitals and laboratory clinics.
“Our services are even cheaper compared to private clinics. For example, our medical certificate costs only P50,” Paguyo said.
The CHO Satellite Office is temporarily housed at the City Library.
Mayor Michael Farinas has said that the local government plans to have a building for the satellite office. (ANL/CPC-PIA 1 Ilocos Norte)

Carrots have always been known for their goodness to the human body. They are a very good source of many vitamins and minerals, as well as being a very good source of natural fibers. In addition to all of this, they taste really good too. The best thing about them is that they are not expensive, yet they provide a ton of benefits to your health. One of these benefits is their ability to provide your body with all of the necessary nutrients that it needs for you to maintain good health.
It is very important that we have all of the important vitamins and minerals that our bodies need. The main group of vitamins that carrots help to supply to us is potassium. Potassium is found to be extremely important for the proper functioning of a person’s kidney and to keep steady blood pressure. These are just two examples of why you should add more carrots to your diet. There are other health benefits of eating raw carrots, which we will discuss below.
The first of the health benefits of eating carrots is their ability to provide your body with a great deal of lutein. Lutein is also known as a carotenoid, which is a vital vitamin to maintain the health of your eyesight. Lutein is responsible for correcting the way that the macular is structured within your retina. This is important because the macular is the part of your eye that is responsible for your central vision. By increasing the amount of lutein in your diet, you will significantly reduce the effects of age-related macular degeneration.
The next benefit of carrot juice is found in its ability to provide your body with an incredible amount of vitamin C. Vitamin C is one of the most powerful antioxidants you can eat on a daily basis. Antioxidants help to remove built-up waste from your body, as well as protect you from harmful free radicals. This includes both external and internal free radicals. Consuming a high level of vitamin C can greatly improve the immune system of your body and can even help to prevent certain types of cancer.
The third of the many health benefits of eating raw carrots is found in their ability to provide your body with a great deal of beta-carotene. This vitamin helps to convert your body into Vitamin A. This vitamin is critical to maintaining healthy eyesight since it plays a critical role in maintaining the health of the macular, which is responsible for providing you with your central vision. Consuming a high amount of beta-carotene can help to prevent the macular from degenerating, which is critical to your overall vision.
Another one of the many health benefits of eating raw carrots is found in the way that they help to enhance your immune system. This vitamin helps to increase your white blood cells, which improves your overall immune system and is also important in preventing colds and flu. There are many foods that can boost the immune system, including carrots. Consuming at least a handful of carrots each day can help to boost your immune system so that you can fight off illness. Additionally, eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains can help to keep you feeling healthy and strong.
The fourth benefit to be found in consuming raw carrot sticks is found in their ability to help you lose weight. Carrots have been found to be a great source of dietary fiber. Fiber is necessary for feeling full so that you can avoid overeating, which can lead to weight gain. Consuming carrot sticks can help you feel fuller without increasing your calorie intake, which means that you can drop the pounds that you want to lose without having to change your diet. A diet filled with low-calorie and low-fat vegetables such as carrots is ideal for losing weight. Furthermore, while you may be cutting back on certain foods such as fats and oils, you will be adding raw vegetable ingredients to your diet, which will help your body to process food more efficiently and can add few health benefits to your diet as well.
The last benefit to be found in carrot sticks is found in their ability to be great for detoxification. The high fiber and vitamin C than carrots contain can work to clean your system out. A detoxification diet can help to improve your liver function as it removes excess sodium and water from your system, which can lead to clearer skin, fewer headaches, fewer digestive problems, reduced anxiety levels, and even fewer colds and stomach aches. While you will be cutting back on certain foods, such as dairy products, there will still be plenty of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains in your diet to provide you with the vitamins and nutrients that you need to ensure a strong immune system and healthy liver. These carrots are a great addition to any detoxification diet.

20 July 2018—The movement to end violence against girls and women is gaining global momentum due to the dynamic and courageous work of grassroots activists, yet their work faces growing threats and needs more support and solidarity from across philanthropy, a day-long convening of activists, funders, journalists and culture shapers said in London on 10 July 2018.
From Violence to a Place of Power: A Funder Convening on Movement Building to End Sexual Violence was convened by NoVo Foundation, Oak Foundation, Unbound Philanthropy and Ariadne, and facilitated by Jude Kelly, to explore how philanthropy can radically increase its support for the movement to end violence against all girls and women.
Deepening a conversation that began at a similar convening of U.S. funders in New York in April, the London convening sought to examine the specific context for work to end sexual violence in the UK and Europe, where growing momentum around #MeToo and other movements is coupled with rising nationalism, austerity politics, the closing of civil society space and assaults on human rights.
Actor and activist Emma Watson chaired the opening session of the day—an intergenerational conversation among activists Nasra Ayub (Integrate UK), Marai Larasi (Imkaan), and Devi Leiper O’Malley (FRIDA–The Young Feminist Fund). The panellists outlined the pivotal role of movement building and feminist organizing in ending violence against girls and women, as well as the urgent need for many more funders and donors from across the philanthropic sector to trust movement leaders and provide long-term, flexible support to sustain their work.
Responding to research across seventy countries that concluded that women’s movements were the key factor in determining policy change, Emma Watson said, “This makes it all the more shocking that a survey of European foundations found that less than 5 per cent of funds were targeted towards girls and women. I think supporting girls and women’s organisations is the greatest hope we have for worldwide transformative change – and my philanthropic choices are grounded in that belief.”
She currently supports more than thirty organisations in the equality and women’s rights movements in the UK and globally, and has donated $5 million USD to these causes over the past 12 months alone. £1 million GBP of this was to the Justice and Equality Fund, which was catalyzed by the UK TIME’S UP movement and is hosted by Rosa, the UK’s leading women’s fund.
“Long-term partnerships, rather than funding against short-term results, are absolutely critical,” she added. “Without flexible, core funding, activists don’t have the room and space they need to be innovative and create long-term change.”
All of the panellists described how the current breakthrough in public attention to sexual violence is grounded in decades of work by movement leaders, many of whom are women of colour, whose often unrecognized efforts have made this moment possible.
“It’s essential that we engage with MeToo, not as something new, but recognize that organizing and resistance have always been a fundamental part of the long herstory of women’s activism,” said Marai Larasi. “We must locate this moment within the generations of work that have come before.”
The intergenerational discussion also highlighted the critical importance of elevating girls’ voices and girl-led organizations as a central part of any response to gender-based violence, and to creating space for new ideas and energy.
“Young feminist organizing is about holding a line that’s been courageously made by so many others before them, and then advancing that shared agenda in today’s context,” said Devi Leiper O’Malley. “Young women, girls, and trans*youth have the curiosity, anger, openness and drive to create lasting change. Their activism might look different from what has been done before, but it deserves flexible, long-term support and trust from across philanthropy.”
A second panel, ‘They Cut We Bleed’: #MeToo in Austerity Britain, examined the effects of austerity politics in the UK, the resulting cuts in investments in basic and social services, and their deep implications for survivors of violence against girls and women. In one year alone, between 2010/11 and 2011/12, there was a 31 per cent cut in funding to the sexual violence and domestic violence sector in the UK, with a deep and disproportionate impact on women of colour.
Chaired by the journalist Bidisha, the panel included Pragna Patel, Southall Black Sisters, Monica Aidoo, Women for Refugee Women, a student from Mulberry School for Girls, and Nathalie McDermott, On Road Media.
“It’s so important for us to remember that sexual abuse was around long before #MeToo. It has offered an unprecedented global spotlight on the issues, yet there’s a huge gap between massive public interest and real resources for survivors — all of which is heightened by austerity politics,” said Bidisha.
“We are part of a political struggle, we are not just service providers,” said Pragna Patel. “True success will only come when you combine frontline services with politics. We must meet women’s everyday needs, but long-term change comes from challenging the root causes of oppression.”
Expanding the scope even further, a third panel of activists examined the work of ending violence against girls and women amid a backdrop of growing authoritarianism across Europe. Panellists included Gergana Kutseva, The Bulgarian Fund for Women, Krystyna Kacpura, Federation for Women and Family Planning, Poland, Denise Charlton, Repeal the 8th Campaign, Republic of Ireland, Anna Zobnina, European Network of Migrant Women.
“We are witnessing growing and strong opposition to women’s rights across Europe — and to civil society as a whole,” said Gergana Kutseva.
The panellists described how rising tides of nationalism, xenophobia and right-wing populism show up in the specific country contexts in which they work and made the direct connection between the policing of women’s bodies and the policing of borders. The result is a push back against hard-won policies like the Istanbul Convention that enshrine the right to a life free from violence.
“We work across generations and borders because we know male violence and oppression is universal,” said Anna Zobnina. “Our work is about building solidarity across cultures, countries, religion, and non-religion. We do it because as migrant women we understand the meaning of rupture, disconnect and loss.”
While violence against girls and women is a worldwide pandemic affecting 1 in 3 women in their lifetimes, funding in the philanthropic sector for work to end gender-based violence has remained extremely low. (A survey by Ariadne found that the number of foundations that support work to end violence against women in Europe is small, and that funding tends to be at a low level and short-term compared to expressed needs. A Ms. Foundation study among U.S. Foundations found that support to end gender-based violence totalled just 1.8 per cent of all foundation giving.)
The afternoon sessions were designed as space for funders to share learning, strategize, build relationships, and chart a future where the movement to end violence against girls and women gets the full support it deserves.
“With survivors leading the way, we’re witnessing an unprecedented mass mobilization against sexual violence. Now it is time for philanthropy to match the courage, urgency and commitment of the movement leaders who got us here,” said Pamela Shifman, executive director of the NoVo Foundation. “Ending violence against girls and women is fundamental to every philanthropic mission, and there is a huge opportunity for many more funders to join in supporting this innovative and important work.”

First-round draft fancy Kane Bevan showed his class with a best-afield performance in West Perth’s season-opening WAFL colts victory over Claremont.
The 192cm key defender turned big-bodied midfielder led the Falcons well in his captaincy debut against a fast-finishing Tigers, who kicked three consecutive goals late to get within two points before going down by eight.
West Perth coach Ryan Lasscock moved Bevan, who amassed a game-high 27 disposals, 15 contested possessions, nine clearances and a classy first-quarter goal, into the engine room midway through last season and expects him to stay there at colts and national under-18s levels.
“We were able to get that transition into the midfield done midway through last season so he’s had eight or nine games under his belt already in there,” Lasscock said.
“Myself and (State 18s coach) Ben Dyer are on the same page with that.”
Classy forward Jack DeMarte was the star of the show up forward with four majors, while fellow smalls Noah Vanderwiel and Jacob Templeton added two apiece.
Luke Michael (21 disposals and six marks) was outstanding down back, reading the play well and rebounding with composure, with Griff Julian (24, five marks and five tackles) also among the standouts for the home side.
Lewis Crump and Will Bailey worked hard in the midfield for Claremont and stood up late during their team’s comeback in the absence of Ed Allan who’s sidelined with a lower-back issue and is expected to miss at least a month.
Fremantle Next Generation Academy talent Conrad Williams showed flashes of brilliance on the outside and key defender Hugh Davies was strong down back.
Up forward it was recently-announced Hale captain Harry Cole and livewire Cooper Childs with two goals each, while bottom-aged key forward Daniel Curtin had his moments in the final term including a late major and contested mark.
East Perth knocked off reigning champs Swan Districts by 31 points, 11.11 (77) to 6.10 (46), at Leederville Oval with potential top-10 pick Jedd Busslinger having a day out as he closes in on a league berth.
Busslinger, who was in the Royals’ extended senior squad before getting overlooked, reeled in a whopping seven intercept marks among his 26 possessions, controlling the airways down back and even drifting forward for a goal.
Pocket rocket Darcy Jones was another draft prospect to catch the eye, producing a brilliant display in the midfield for the Swans with 20 disposals and five marks, while key defender Angus Laurisson stood tall with six intercept marks.
Jones was in the mix for a league berth but only got out of isolation earlier in the week which hurt his cause.
Mitch Miller (East Perth) and Daniel Hirst (Swan Districts) booted three goals each for their respective teams.
Hulking forward Corey Tregenza-Cashell had an instant impact in his colts debut for Peel Thunder, booting a game-high three goals in the 17-point win over East Fremantle, 8.8 (56) to 5.9 (39), in Mandurah on Good Friday.
Classy talent Connor Carbone was the leading ball winner on the ground with 25, while fellow State 18s hopefuls Jed Hagan (25, nine tackles and a goal) and Jack Cleaver (20) did their bit for the opposing Sharks.
In the final game of the opening round, 2020 premiers Subiaco made an early statement with a 14.13 (97) to 5.15 (45) victory over South Fremantle at Leederville Oval on Saturday.
Explosive 2023 prospect Kolton Tholstrup kicked 3.2 from 19 touches and six marks playing mainly up forward with a late run in the midfield, while Jacob Evitt and Riley Crane were also among the most influential on the ground. Former Shark Richard Bartlett had a successful debut with two goals.
But the win came at a cost with on-baller Lance Collard breaking his collarbone in the final two minutes after a classy two-goal display, including a brilliant effort on the run.
Bulldogs recruit Seth Connor (32 disposals) had a nice start to his time in red and white after crossing from East Fremantle, while Liam Brandis hit the scoreboard with 3.2.


I gave Arizona Premium Mattress Co. a call today and my husband and I are headed up to Phoenix Saturday to try out some mattresses! I am also ordering a 3" topper to tide us over until we get our mattress. This site has been invaluable in our search for a new mattress and we are excited to “fine tune” our comfort selection in person.
I was wondering if anyone else has chosen to put an additional latex topper on their new latex mattress and what their experiences have been. We are thinking that perhaps it will add to the longevity and flexability of our new bed.
Thank you for all the great information.
There have been many forum members who have done just that to fine tune their mattresses but it would take some digging in the forum to isolate them in searches. It is also a popular option with some of the Pure Latex Bliss mattresses although their toppers are much softer than many manufacturers are comfortable with and other manufacturers such as Berkeley Ergonomics also offer toppers that are an optional part of their mattress or sleeping system.
The upper layers of a sleeping system are the most prone to mechanical compression, softening and wear so if you add a topper to any mattress the topper itself will be more subject to stress and soften and wear out faster than the deeper layers but they will also lengthen the life of the deeper layers as well. If you have a mattress where the top layer can be replaced, then replacing the top layer inside the mattress or replacing a topper would be six of one and half a dozen of the other. Either way the top layer will add to the durability of the layers below it but will soften faster than the deeper layers.
