Harry Miller’s factory at 6233 South Gramercy Place in Los Angeles, CA about 1926.
Harry Miller was many things. Perfectionist, engineer, designer, effete, driven, winner, dominating force, all could be used to accurately describe Miller and his products. Miller racing engines won Indianapolis and most any other race that mattered in the 1920’s. His engine designs came to be used in later years under the Drake and Offenhauser names, dominating Indianapolis through the mid 1960’s. r race that mattered in the 1920’s. Miller designed aircraft engines, boat engines, fire trucks, and of course carburetors. All were (for the most part) successful and profitable. This week we take a look at the rebuilding, installation, and performance potential of the Miller Master carburetor on the Model T Ford.
Harry Miller in 1932. Miller sold his Los Angeles based business in 1929 just prior to the stock market crash. As such he was very well off financially compared to most other Americans in that time.
Miller built his signature carburetor design in several sizes in order to be used for many applications from racing cars to boats to fire trucks. We are going to concern ourselves with the Miller carburetor designed to be used on the Model T Ford, along with the Miller designed intake manifold that would be sold to the Ford owner as part of the installation kit.
Our subject carburetor and intake were sold as a direct replacement for the Ford supplied intake and carburetor. Ours looks pretty good for being 100 years old other than a lot of grime and grease and surface corrosion. The carburetor is made from red brass and yellow brass castings. Hardware is primarily steel. The throttle valve is a barrel design made of machined aluminum alloy. Along with the intake manifold each Miller Master carburetor came with a cable operated mixture control. The mixture control operated a “damper” door inside the carburetor that blocked off much of the airflow if fully closed. This served as the “choke” for starting a cold engine. Once the engine is warm the mixture control is opened nearly all the way depending upon the engine, fuel, and altitude requirements. We found that the car ran best with the damper moved mostly, but not all the way, towards full lean. The engine side of our carburetor shows the cable operated mixture lever in the full lean position. The air inlet is separated into a primary (round) and secondary (larger, LH side) area. This design is unlike any other carburetor, as is the majority of the Miller carburetor. The underside of our Miller carburetor shows the fuel inlet which can be pointed in any direction. We ended up finding this position was ideal for a Model T. The throttle is similar to the Winfield carburetor in that it uses a barrel type throttle valve. The Miller Master throttle valve uses a graduated spiral opening that sequentially uncovers a series of fuel jets as it allows greater amounts of airflow. The photo above shows the throttle closed for idle. Here we see the throttle partly open. Notice the curved leading edge of the slot in the barrel valve. As the throttle is opened further more of the jets are exposed at the bottom of the barrel, as the top exposes more of the intake to fuel / air mixture. This makes the Miller Master carburetor very responsive. At full throttle the series of jets are entirely exposed as the intake is completely open for fuel / air mixture to flow. The barrel valve eliminates having a throttle shaft in the middle of the intake air flow. The Miller Master carburetor was patented in 1917 and could be installed in a variety of ways depending upon the application. This drawing shows the holes drilled in the fuel distributor / jet bar with the throttle wide open. We start disassembly by removing the snap ring which retains the top of the float chamber. This float / needle valve design was used by Stromberg, Marvel and other companies. We suspect someone was paying somebody royalties. Notice the accumulated dirt in the bottom of the carburetor bowl. This is good evidence that this carburetor was used a lot. Next we remove the nut which secures the fuel inlet to the bottom of the float bowl. Inside is a snap ring securing a very fine fuel filter screen that is crusted with more dirt, The upper body of the Miller Master carburetor is secured to the lower body by two nuts on studs. This one can be loosened with a socket. The other side requires an open end wrench. there is a secondary fuel filter just below the jet bar (Miller calls it a Fuel Distributor). This filter is also clogged with dirt. You can see the fuel jet bar here marked with the letter “S” attached to the lower body. We were unable to remove the throttle stop from the barrel valve despite lots of effort. In the end we decided that the better part of valor is often discretion. All of the brass parts went into the carburetor cleaning solution while the steel hardware went into a jar filled with Evaporust. After soaking for a couple days in carb cleaner each part was scrubbed using Scotchbrite and soapy water. Interestingly, Miller made this carburetor without any seals or gaskets. Each part depends upon accurate machine work to prevent fuel and air leaks. You need to be careful not to disturb any of these critical junctions. The first part to be installed is the jet bar (fuel distributor) which is secured to the lower body with a single screw. We are using a specially ground screwdriver bit in a 1/4″ drive socket to prevent marring the screws and to allow secure tightening of each fastener. The arrow points to the tiny holes that supply fuel to the air. This part is the heart of the carburetor, and is made from many pieces of brass sheet soldered together. Next the air damper / mixture control assembly is set in place in the lower carburetor assembly. It is shown in the open / full lean position. This screw interfered with movement of the mixture lever unless I removed its lock washer. It came apart that way too, so apparently it was meant to be that way originally. I removed the lock washer after this picture was taken. The upper carburetor can be mated to the lower carburetor. A few taps of the rubber mallet were required because the parts fit together so tightly. No gaskets are used, and no sealant. It just fits. We tightened the nuts. Not shown, a steel taper pin secures the throttle idle adjuster to the throttle valve shaft. We installed it using a tiny hammer. Our 1925 Dykes manual gives a nice picture of the Miller Master carburetor and its unique fuel distributor / jet plate. An elbow is mounted to the primary air inlet. It could be pointed up and connected to a heat tube for winter use, or rotated downwards and left open when it was not winter time for best performance. Fuel must pass through this secondary screen before it gets to the tiny passages in the fuel distributor. We install it and tighten it with a 5/8″ wrench. Again no gasket or seal of any kind is used. We reinstalled the float oriented as it was upon disassembly. The red brass portion is “up”. We don’t know if this matters but if it does, it won’t be a problem. The float bowl cover is held in place by a very tight fitting snap ring. It required that we tap it in place using a 3/32″ pin punch. Again, no gasket or sealant of any kind is used. A dust cap covers the top of the inlet needle. There is no adjustment and again no seal. With the carburetor upside down the fuel inlet seat can be installed. The machined surfaces simply fit, there is no gasket. The fuel inlet assembly has a very fine filter screen secured with a snap ring. The fuel inlet again has no gasket. The arrow points towards a bevel on the inside of the inlet, a similar bevel is machined into the lower carburetor body. The mating of these two machined surfaces makes a fuel tight seal with no gasket of any kind. The nut is a large 7/8″ wrench size, necessary to allow sufficient torque to prevent leakage. We ended up rotating the inlet to point towards the frame and to the rear as it had been prior to disassembly. The inlet assembly is bolted to the lower carburetor body. We tried to make the throttle work as it was when it came apart; but eventually moved the throttle arm to the other side after considering our options for linkage. Our freshly rebuilt Miller Master carburetor looks better. We hope it works as well as it looks! This view gives a good view of the taper pin that secures the idle adjuster to the throttle valve. We temporarily installed the intake and carburetor so we could figure out the controls and fuel line. We were out of steel 1/4″ diameter line so for temporary use we are going with a piece of copper that was in our scrap metal bin. A Ford Vaporizer throttle arm and connecting rod makes a great start. This bell crank assembly was left over from some previous project. With a few bends and twists it looks like it will do the job. The throttle linkage arm was moved to the outboard side of the carburetor. A piece of 3/16″ steel rod was used to fabricate the linkage rod from the bellcrank to the carburetor. A piece of 1/8″ X 1″ flat bar stock 6061 T6 aluminum extrusion was used to make a second mounting point for the bell crank. We marked the fuel line for cut off. Everything came off so we could finish the job. Every time we buy a T gasket set it comes with a long 26 – 27 valve cover gasket. Those come in handy when we need to make a gasket. Once we are satisfied with the layout we cut the gasket to shape. We reinstalled the intake manifold using fresh copper glands. The steel rings were re – used. The mixture control cable is connected before mounting the carburetor. It is hard to get to with the carburetor installed. We installed the carburetor with our new gasket. We connected the fuel line. The gas was turned on, revealing no leaks anywhere. The mixture control was set to full rich, and we pulled the crank up for two 1/4 turns. Then we turned the key on, and set the mixture about in the middle. The car started with one pull on the crank! It immediately settled into a perfect idle, although a bit slow. Driving Impressions
Sitting behind the wheel in the garage we played with the mixture control. The engine seemed to run best with the mixture set at around 80% towards full lean. We made one more inspection to make sure there were no leaks. Then we backed out of the garage.
We had just removed a Winfield carburetor so the Master had some big shoes to fill. When this carburetor was made, Ed Winfield worked for Harry Miller. Their carburetors share some ideas such as the way the float / inlet needle design works, and the concept of the barrel throttle valve. Otherwise the designs are much different. Miller’s design is intricate and requires a lot of precision machining. The Winfield design is much simpler and it is easier to manufacture. By any account the Winfield carburetor works very, very well. Was the student better than the master?
We accelerated out of the driveway in low gear. The exhaust note was louder than before, quite a bit louder in fact. The car has markedly improved power compared to the Winfield carburetor. This is incredible because the Winfield was so exponentially superior to anything we had tried previously. Shifting into high gear, the car accelerates like never before. This carburetor may be around here for a long time. We drove around the lake for about an hour. A stop for gas was the first time we turned the engine off. After a few minutes we turned on the key and were rewarded with a “free start”. With the improved power is a certain improvement in driveability, again hard to believe because the Winfield was so good. I can’t see going back to any of the stock Model T carburetors after this. Call this a rave review if you will.

Suspected Egyptian Sprout Seeds Still on Sale
Egyptian sprout seeds suspected to be contaminated with the deadly E.coli bacteria which has caused a rampaging outbreak in Europe are still believed to be on sale. The EU has belatedly announced a blanket ban on more imports.
European health officials say one batch of contaminated fenugreek seeds imported from Egypt is possibly the source behind the recent E.coli outbreaks in France and Germany. But, the suspected fenugreek seeds may have been sold in more countries including Spain, Britain and Austria. Health experts say some of the contaminated Egyptian fenugreek seeds may still be in the European food chain.
The EU has banned further import of fenugreek seeds from Egypt till Oct. 31. One particular Egyptian exporter was identified and the EU recommends all members to destroy seeds from this exporter. But, the exporter’s name was not released.
This EU move may be too little, too late, as contaminated seeds have been distributed widely in Europe. It may be too difficult to identify the culprit seeds as the bacteria amount may be too minute to detect.
The deadly E.coli outbreak has so far killed 51 people and sickened greater than 4,000 patients in Germany since May. In France, the same E.coli bacteria caused a smaller outbreak last month.

Islamabad, June 24 (ANI): Pakistan Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir on Thursday rejected suggestions that the federal government and civil society's agenda to bridge the trust deficit with India is driven by the military and intelligence agencies.
Responding to pointed question posed by ANI, Bashir said: "Today, the Government is One, and by the government, it does not only mean the president, the prime minister, the parliament... it means the whole system."
"So, working out our positions and working out the agenda for moving our relations forward on all stages, all the forces - in the parliament, the (civilian and military) leaderships - we are all speaking from the same page," Bashir added.
Bashir, who was addressing the media here, said both sides had agreed that there should be frequent and regular contacts between the two sides.
'It was also agreed that Pakistan and India should work towards restoring confidence and building trust; to have a comprehensive, sustained and substantial dialogue," Bashir said.
"We believe that we have been able to accomplish this mandate in the most efficient manner. The talks have been marked by a great deal of cordiality, sincerity and earnestness. The dialogue has been very constructive," Bashir added while speaking at a joint press conference with his Indian counterpart Nirupama Rao. By Smita Prakash (ANI)

If I were a newspaper reporter, I would call the Governor’s Office today. i would get anybody on the phone that would talk to me. I would talk to the Governor or Lt. Governor. I’d talk to a press person or a scheduler. I’d talk to a chief of staff, an intern, a window washer or a dog walker. My question would be this:
Has Jack Dalrymple or Drew Wrigley ever been to the Standing Rock reservation, ever?
If the person I had on the phone didn’t know, I’d ask for someone who might. I’d sit on hold for an hour or six hours. Because it is my job to inform the public. And this is kind of important. I’d want do whatever I had to do to get an answer to that question.
Standing Rock makes up most or all of Sioux County, North Dakota. Sioux County is — perhaps obviously — part of North Dakota. Jack Dalrymple was a state senator for maybe fourteen (14) years. He ran two unsuccessful U.S. Senate campaigns (in 1988 and 1992), asking to represent the entire state in Washington. Then he was Lieutenant Governor for ten (10) years. He has now been Governor for nearly four years.
Drew Wrigley was North Dakota’s U.S. Attorney for about eight (8) years and has been Lt. Governor for four. One of his most important jobs while U.S. Attorney is (or should have been) enforcing federal laws on all of North Dakota’s reservations. (More on that, here.) As Lt. Governor, it should also be Wrigley’s job to represent the entire state, including Sioux County; including all residents of Sioux County. Though it might surprise Wrigley and Dalrymple, that includes native and non-native people.
During their combined thirty-six (36) years of public service, has either one of them EVER been to Sioux County (i.e. Standing Rock)?
If so, did they ever go anywhere other than directly to and directly from Prairie Knights Casino?
I’d bet they haven’t. I’d bet that, if they have, it was only to go drop a few quarters into the slot machines at Prairie Knights and maybe get a bite to eat.
Now that the President of the United States is traveling from Washington, D.C., to Standing Rock to meet with tribal officials and others, Don’t you think it would give the People of North Dakota some important context to know how much time the state’s elected leaders have spent in the Standing Rock Nation? I think it would be helpful to know whether our Governor and Lt. Governor have ever bothered to set foot on Standing Rock.
Is it crazy of me to think that?

Now the Swedes are preparing to protest against the visit of the Israeli Davis Cup tennis team due to play in Sweden next Saturday. Viva Malmo!
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Around 1,000 police officers will be on duty at the Baltic Hall in Malmo when Sweden host Israel in next week's Davis Cup first round tie, Swedish police said on Thursday.
The March 6-8 tie is being held behind closed doors due to security concerns .
Police said between 8,000 to 12,000 people are expected to hold a demonstration next Saturday against Israel's participation in the men's team competition...
...Last week Shahar Peer was denied entry into the UAE, which has no diplomatic ties with Israel, for a women's tournament in Dubai. After worldwide condemnation, the Gulf state was forced to change its policy of barring Israeli athletes and said a special permit would be issued to competitors who had qualified for a tournament in its territory.
The Israeli Davis Cup team will arrive in Sweden with several security guards of their own, two of which had asked for permission to be armed. However, that request was turned down. more

Why Wolfgang Van Halen Won’t Use ‘Lame as Hell’ Backing Tracks
"I think it’s a copout to use tracks, unless it’s like, for a keyboard part that you can’t necessarily get,” the bandleader tells UCR. “But when I hear about certain bands these days, where it’s like, you have lead vocals and lead guitars pumping through the tracks, I think that’s lame as hell. I think you should just stay home and listen to shit on Spotify if they’re going to play to tracks like that."
Mammoth WVH hit the road in late July and will be out through October, playing a mixture of headlining club dates, festival appearances and opening slots on Guns N' Roses' massive stadium and arena trek. While Van Halen recorded all the instrumentals on Mammoth WVH's eponymous debut, he's got an A-list backing band to help him pull the songs off live, including guitarists Frank Sidoris (Slash) and Jon Jourdan, bassist Ronnie Ficarro (Falling in Reverse) and drummer Garrett Whitlock (Tremonti).
Van Halen says he recruited Jourdan after seeing him play with Clint Lowery while opening for Alter Bridge, featuring Tremonti and singer Myles Kennedy, who also fronts Slash's solo band. “I saw Jon in Clint’s band and I thought he was an amazing singer and an amazing guitar player, and I was like, ‘I want ya! You’re mine!’” the bandleader enthuses. “Before Jon, Frank and I were picking which guitar parts to play. And Ronnie and I were picking which harmonies to sing. With Jon there, we can literally take care of every single thing that’s on the album, and we don’t have to replicate it with a track.”
That includes the towering four-part vocal harmonies in "Stone," the six-and-a-half-minute, breakdown-laden stomper that's become the band's collective favorite to perform. "In the second pre-chorus, there’s a four-part harmony, and we’re doing that live," Van Halen says with a laugh. "It feels really badass to be like, we don’t have to fuckin’ sit there with tracks. We’re just straight-up doing it. I think it’s important. It’s certainly not perfect all of the time. That’s the point of live performance. It ebbs and flows."
Watch Mammoth WVH Live at MetLife Stadium, Aug. 5, 2021
Van Halen and the members of Mammoth WVH quickly earned the approval of their headliners. Axl Rose praised the single "Don't Back Down" during his and Van Halen's first in-person meeting backstage at their Aug. 5 MetLife Stadium show. Duff McKagan also dropped by the Mammoth WVH dressing room to let them know Rose called the song "straight fuckin' rock and roll."
"I thought that was the biggest compliment I could have heard," Van Halen says. "It still feels like a dream."
An artist of Van Halen's stature is inevitably subject to scrutiny from fans, especially on such a massive tour. But the 30-year-old rocker is up to the challenge. After all, he's been proving himself onstage for half his life, becoming Van Halen's full-time bassist in 2006 following Michael Anthony's departure.
"When I was in Van Halen, people thought I was using tracks, but I wasn’t," Van Halen says with a laugh. "So it’s kind of a compliment."

California schools set to reopen following three-day strike
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (NBC, KYMA/KECY) - Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) schools are set to reopen Friday as the strike ends and labor talks continue with Mayor Karen Bass works to mediate the ongoing dispute.
Thousands attended a rally Thursday afternoon at Los Angeles State Historic Park.
The striking workers, members of SEIU Local 99, are calling for a 30% across-the-board salary increase plus a $2.00 per hour addition for the lowest-paid workers
The school district has offered a 23% wage hike and a cash-in-hand bonus, but that proposal was turned down.
Mayor Bass hopes to help parties reach an agreement "to reopen schools and guarantee fair treatment of all LAUSD workers."
Members of the teachers union in the city joined the picket lines in solidarity with the school workers.

It's not only because it's beautifully illustrated by a Trinidadian illustrator, Vanessa Soodeen;
It's not only because I have been working on these three stories of undersea friendship for a few years;
The best part isn't even the fact that I was able to include illustrations from a talented teenager, Hanan Lachmansingh.
The aspect of this book that makes me most proud is the fact that I am finally publishing something that I wrote with my Dad. Some of you may know that he nurtured my creativity, encouraging me to think outside of the box when I was a child. I came up with the idea for the poem and I threw it to him.
"Come up with some strange sea creatures. Oh, and by the way, it has to rhyme and have a rhytmic meter."
We passed the poem back and forth, he recruited my daughter into the process and the result was Fishy Food. I will include just two verses here, buy the book to read the whole thing!
by Clive Ottley, Alexa Mitchell and Carol Mitchell
Mom makes us eat fish every day,
"It's good for you," she says.
With vitamins, Omega three's, eating healthy pays.
But we all find it boring and wish that she would buy
Sea creatures that are less well known, those we'd gladly try.
[The next few verses of the poem go on to suggest some rare and interesting seafood that the children would find more enticing. The poem ends with their mother's response:]
Mom agrees and says that if we catch them she will cook them,
So off we go down to the beach to dive with spear and hook them.
The book includes three short stories, 'Fishy Food' and a word search, so read and enjoy!

I am so tired of hearing that I am a lot to deal with. What the hell do people want me to do? I am 30 something years old...this aint the time to tone down my personality and fall in line with the parade. I have always been marching to my own beat so what the hell can I possibly do about it now? As long as I love strongly and build my faith in God and show integrity in my dealings with folks and keep growing in the best "me" fashion that I can...what the hell more can I do? What really pisses me off is that the "too much" aspect of my character is usually what attracts people to me but then want me to tone it down when it doesn't suit there current mindstate. How about you get the skates and roll your behind to the infirmary and come back my way once you've figured out that the good stuff don't come easy?
All this crap about good love should be easy is hogwash to me. People are complicated, messy, and multi-layered beings and nine times out ten...if they don't give you a little hell every once and awhile you aint really seeing the full show honey...you are still at the overture. With me, at least you know you getting to see the entire drama unfold on and off stage. I give the kids a little backstage tour of my hurts, pain, frustrations, fears and disappointments along with the joys, triumphs, happy moments and victories without dumping it on them...I just leave the curtain pulled back. You don't need that from everyone because you don't have a vested interest in everyone's life (though we all should to a degree...we are in this humanity thing together, right?) but if you do have that type of relationship with someone (whether it be on plutonic, romantic, or familial terms), you need to appreciate it when they show themselves to you. At the end of the day, you know what you are getting so either love them or leave them alone. Everyone can grow and become a better human being and should do so everyday...myself included. But can't nobody change you to what suits their whims, fears, insecurities, preferences, etc. and if they love you...why should you have to? Love me as I grow into my best self and I will do the same for you.
There's nothing wrong with sharing an honest opinion or giving constructive criticism to a friend. But "you know you can be a lot to deal with" for me is a cop out. I don't have anybody in my life that isn't a lot to deal with in someway. I find that if this is not the case, either the individual is not really in my inner circle or probably shouldn't be because they are only showing or giving a very small portion of themselves to the relationship.
Aint nobody EASY TO LOVE....perhaps some folks MAKE it easier but as soon as the "honeymoon" dance is over we all got some stuff with us. Don't knock my way just because my voice projects a little louder, eyes roll a little harder, mind moves a little quicker, and behind switches a little crazier than others. Je suis moi!

This is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
V. PRACTICAL ADDRESS.
There are many who make themselves needlessly unhappy on account of dreams. There are such a variety of dreams that it is impossible to describe them all. Night dreams are very different from each other, and some may admit of a pe. culiar interpretation. Some dreams are full of terror and confusion, others are pleasant and delightful. How a person dreams we cannot easily tell. Some persons have had very remarkable dreams which have left a deep impression upon their minds, which have not only led to a change of conduct but a change of heart. "In a dreâm, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumbering upon the bed; then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction.”Jacob's dream was full of instruction, full of consolation and encouragement to a man in his circumstances, and we find that it made a very deep impression upon his mind. He remembered it all his life. It is likely he never had
such a sweet sleep or such a remarkable dream afterwards. Children may have to tra vel alone as Jacob did, in an unknown road to an unknown place, without any one to bear them company, without any one to guide them by the way. They may be benighted. They may be obliged to lay down and sleep on the ground as Jacob did. Never mind, put your trust in Jacob's God, and though you may not have Jacob's dream to comfort and encourage you, yet you will have Jacob's God to protect you. Seek his protection and the pardon of all your sins through Jesus Christ, by earnest prayer, and then you may lie down and sleep as soundly and safely as if you were in a house surrounded by soldiers or servants to take care of you.
We ought to take notice of those dreams that warn us to repent of sin and seek for pardon. Disobedient children do not dream that they are obedient. Careless and inattentive children do not dream that they are attentive to their books or to the instructions of their parents and teachers. Lying children do not dream that they are tell
ling the truth. No, they often dream that they are found out and punished for their falsehood and mischief. Wicked children are always terri” fied by their dreams. Good children some. times dream of good things, that God loves them, that Christ smiles upon them, that they are going to heaven. I recollect when a boy about nine years of age, I dreamed that the day of Judgment was come, and I thought the Judge asked the person to whose school I then went, what sort of a boy I was? And he replied, I think he will do; or I think he will pass. I awoke in great fear, the dream made a deep impression on my mind. Wherever we are, we may meet with God. Jacob was surprised to find that God was there. He had no expectation of finding God there. God is every where,
Awake, asleep, at home, abroad,
You are surrounded still with God.
Consent to sin, for God is there. Watts.
Remember Jacob's dream, seek to have Jacob's God for your God. The Angels which he saw, for your guardian angels. Pray that God will be with you wherever you are. That he
would be your guide and go with you wher ever you go. That he would bring thee safe to heaven at last. That he may never eave thee, nor forsake thee in life or at death; in affliction or health, in poverty or prosperity. Pray that he may be your guide even unto death, and your God for ever and ever. Amen.
Jacob's Ladder. Gen. 28. 12.
IF the Lord our leader be,
may follow without fear,
East or West, by land or sea,
Home with him is ev'ry where.
When from Esau Jacob fled
Tho' his pillow was a stone, And the ground his humble bed, Yet he was not left alone.
Kings are often waking kept,
Rack'd with cares on beds of state,
Never king like Jacob slept,
For he lay at heaven's gate.
Lo! he saw a ladder rear'd,
Fear not, Jacob, thou art mine,
Till I have accomplish'd all.
(See Olney's Hymns.


If your Android device keeps disconnecting from Wi-Fi, you might be having issues connecting to the network. If this is the case, you should learn how to solve the problem. Here are two fixes you can try: first, try resetting the WiFi settings on your Android device.
Fixes for Phone Keeps Disconnecting from WiFi
If you’re having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi, you may have to reset your device’s Wi-Fi settings. Resetting your network settings is an easy way to fix this issue. But it can take a few minutes, so be patient! Rebooting your device is also a good idea for the sake of memory, so you should try to do this as soon as possible.
Various reasons can lead to the WiFi disconnect issue on your phone. It could be caused by a temporary glitch in the firmware. Alternatively, it could be caused by sideloaded apps or recent changes in your network settings. For example, if you recently changed the network settings on your Samsung phone, this could be causing the problem. Resetting the network settings on your phone may help you resolve this issue.
Another reason that your phone keeps disconnecting from WiFi is that it is not connected to a network. Sometimes, a weak connection will lead to the phone stuttering or accidentally switching to mobile data. Fortunately, this problem is fairly simple to fix, so you shouldn’t have any major issues with it. Just try one of the solutions above, and you should no longer have to worry about the problem. If none of these methods work, try resetting your phone to factory default settings.
Another option to try is using the safe mode feature. This mode is great for troubleshooting a Wi-Fi issue because it disables third-party apps and forces the phone to boot with its default system apps. It can also help you find out which apps are causing the WiFi issue. Also, it is a good idea to keep your phone’s software updated.
There are many fixes for the common issue of your iPhone keeping disconnecting from Wi-Fi. Changing the Wi-Fi settings in your phone will help you reconnect to the network without having to reconnect every time. You can also try power cycling your router to see if the problem is fixed. If your router isn’t working, updating its firmware may solve the issue.
Resetting your network settings on your iPhone can also fix this problem. To do this, you need to press and hold the Volume Down and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds. Once you have done this, you’ll be greeted with the Apple logo.
Changing the WiFi password or switching to a different band can help you reduce congestion. The 5GHz band offers faster connectivity, but its range isn’t as good. Therefore, you should switch to the 2.4GHz band instead. Also, try to uninstall any recently-installed apps that may be interfering with your WiFi connection.
Resetting WiFi settings on Android device
If you are facing issues with your WiFi connection on your Android device, you can reset your WiFi settings by using the recovery mode. Resetting your settings will not delete your data but it will clear out your saved networks and network preferences. So, it is important to back up all your data before proceeding.
Resetting your WiFi settings will help your Android device reconnect to the Internet again. It will also prevent any third-party apps from interfering with the network and will only allow the default apps to run. You can also use safe mode to uninstall any apps that are causing problems. However, you should be aware that this method does not work for all models. Therefore, you can contact the manufacturer for detailed instructions.
If you are unable to reconnect to WiFi, you can try to restart the device. Restarting the device will often resolve these issues, but it may also be necessary to update the software on your device. To do this, press and hold the power button on your device. Select Restart from the menu. When the phone comes back on, you will have to reconnect to the same network.
If the problem persists, you can try tweaking the network settings. A restart of your router or an extension of the WiFi range may be enough to solve the problem. If the problem persists, you may need to reset the WiFi settings on your Android device.
If all else fails, try disabling third-party applications that cause the WiFi signal to be unstable. Alternatively, you can disable these apps from your device by rebooting it in safe mode. Alternatively, you can reboot the device by pressing and holding the power button until the device shuts down.
Some Android phones have a battery-saving feature that prevents them from connecting to WiFi when in sleep mode. However, you can disable this feature in the settings menu, and then try connecting again. Make sure to assign a password and user name if you still experience this problem.
Another way to solve this problem is to delete apps. VPN apps, antivirus apps, and WiFi priorityiser apps can cause the problem. Disabling these apps will make the device reconnect to the wi-fi network. Then, you can start downloading files again.
Removing known networks from Wi-Fi list
If you’re finding that you’re constantly disconnecting from WiFi, one simple solution is to remove known networks from your Wi-Fi list on your phone. Some phones allow you to delete saved networks in bulk, and you can also toggle off auto-connect on these networks. To do this, go to Network Settings and tap Manage networks.
You can also try disabling certain applications that are causing the issue. Some of these include VPN applications, WiFi booster apps, and anti-virus programs. Depending on the causes, you might have to temporarily disable these apps, or turn off network permissions manually.
If you’ve deleted the network from the list, you’ll no longer see it in the Wi-Fi list of Windows 10. To remove the network, go into the settings menu and select “Forget”. Windows will then remove the network from the list. You’ll need administrator access to remove a network profile.
If this doesn’t work, you can also try turning off your Wi-Fi router. Most routers come with a power switch that you can use to turn the router off and on. The problem may be related to authentication problems. To fix this problem, you’ll need to remove the Wi-Fi network from your phone’s Wi-Fi list and re-add it. If the problem persists, it may be a problem with your router or your phone. If you’re still not able to solve this issue, you can try clearing your phone’s cache.
If none of the above steps work, you may want to try resetting your phone to factory settings. This will delete your personal data and settings, so it’s important to backup all your important files before you do this. To perform the reset, go to the Settings menu and select Wi-Fi. Then, look for the “Forget” icon. When you find the icon, tap it and then select “Erase All Data (factory reset”. Then, follow the on-screen instructions to finish the process.
Sometimes the problem is due to an outdated driver or software for your Wi-Fi adapter. To fix this, install the latest drivers for your Wi-Fi card. These updates will fix bugs and improve compatibility. In addition, the latest updates will also fix power management issues, which will help your Wi-Fi connection.
Another solution is to disable Wi-Fi power-saving mode on your phone. This setting keeps your Wi-Fi connection from slowing down. It will automatically switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data if the connection is slow. Disabling this feature should solve your problem.
Removing known networks from Wi-Fi lists on your phone may be a quick fix for the issue. To do this, open the Settings app and navigate to the Connections section. Next, tap the gear icon next to the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to. After that, tap Forget. Your phone should automatically reconnect when it has a strong connection. You may also want to remove any recently installed apps that might interfere with your WiFi connection.

Snooze…Or Lose!: 10 “No-War” Ways to Improve Your Teen’s Sleep Habits
Suppression of the feeling of building sleepiness during the day by Process C: clock-dependent alertness. Note the slight increase in sleepiness at “siesta” time in thelater afternoon.
asleep and counting the hours of sleep necessary to restore energy and alertness.
The problem with Process S and teens, though, is that teens don’t get as sleepy as quickly as adults and younger kids do; the curve for how sleepy teens get actually slows down and teens don’t accumulate as many “sleepiness points” as their younger siblings or parents. So a 15-year-old going through puberty can be up for the same number of hours as a 10-year-old or a 40-year-old but not feel as sleepy. That makes feeling awake well into the wee hours much easier for teens, but they still need nine hours of sleep to discharge their sleepiness.
Superimposed on this pattern lies the workings of Process C, in which our internal body clock regulates all of our biological processes. Process C causes us to feel more alert at certain times of the day even if, according to Process S, we’ve been awake long enough to have gained a large number of sleepiness points.
Our internal body clock is actually centered in a pinhead-sized nucleus called the suprachiasmatic nucleus, or SCN, that is deep in the hypothalamic region of the brain and receives environmental information about daylight and darkness via the retina. When that information

A visit to Nebraska City, Nebraska is all about a celebration of Mother Nature’s most perfect gift — a tree.
Nebraska City is where, in 1854, J. Sterling and Caroline Morton settled, migrating from their home in Michigan, a state richly covered in trees. The Mortons missed trees, so they planted trees. Lots of them on the mostly treeless prairie that was Nebraska at that time.
By 1872, they had proclaimed that April 10 would be known as Arbor Day, and the governor of Nebraska made it a state proclamation in 1874. Arbor Day has now been moved to April 22, which was Morton’s birthday. It is celebrated around the world by people planting trees. I cannot think of a better way to be remembered by the world.

To learn more, read our DISCLAIMER here.
What to do in Nebraska City, home of Arbor Day
The place you want to stay in Nebraska City is the Lied Lodge and Conference Center. Yes, there are other hotels, but this one is owned by the Arbor Day Foundation, so proceeds will help plant more trees and research diseases that plague the ones we have.
The place is all about trees and conservation of the Earth’s resources. The massive lobby is anchored by 35 foot tall Douglas Fir tree and the fireplace — well it’s just beautiful. But take a look at the flags around the lobby, and then ask the receptionist for the latest information explaining what they mean. The flags change annually, based on awards to communities and countries that have made great contributions to reforesting the earth. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a flag from your hometown up there?
The wood burning fireplace that just calls for you to settle in for a while in one of those overstuffed leather couches is some marvel of engineering that burns away its own smoke, therefore not contributing to air pollution. And there are no heating or air conditioning bills at the Lied Lodge. They generate their own heating and cooling from burning wood chips from the 2800 trees on the Arbor Day Farm.
All of the Trees on Arbor Day Farm
Yes, trees. That’s what it’s about. The 260 acre farm has about 2800 trees, so think of what that’s contributing to the clean air we breathe. A full grown tree provides enough oxygen for two people each year, roughly 260 pounds of oxygen. That same tree can absorb and disseminate near 760 gallons of rainwater in its lifetime, thus reducing storm water run-off and erosion.
Among the apple trees are 150 varieties of Heirloom Apples, as well 14 additional varieties. So time at the Pie Garden Cafe is a must when visiting the Arbor Day Farm. And of course, a bag of apples or apple related products is the necessary souvenir.
To learn about the trees, take a wagon ride around the farm or spend time walking and exploring in the Tree Adventure. It’s a pleasant walking trail through the trees with lots of little interesting signs about trees, foot prints of wild animals that live among the trees, and of course, a tree house!
The AppleJack Festival in Nebraska City is the third weekend of September each year.
Tip: If apples are your thing, consider a trip to Fort Wayne Indiana, the final resting place of Johnny Appleseed.
Hazelnut Research at the Arbor Day Farm
Visible from the back patio of the Lied Lodge is the Hazelnut grove, nine acres of hazelnut trees. If you’re like me, you don’t know much about hazelnut trees or shrubs. It turns out that hazelnuts are an excellent source of human nutrition, but also animal feed and renewable energy. But there’s something called an Eastern Filbert Blight that attacks some varieties of hazelnut trees and makes them less productive.
The Arbor Day Foundation is a leader in hazelnut research to develop a more resilient tree for commercial production. Everyone at the Arbor Day Farm is really excited about this. Think about that the next time your order hazelnut flavoring in your coffee.
If you want to try to grow your own hazelnuts, you can buy a tree from the Arbor Day Farm. Watch them package up saplings and prepare them for shipping across North America. Or you can reach in the cooler and select your own tree. Best souvenir ever!

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — You may have noticed an increase in gas prices over the past month, but what’s the reason behind it? AAA details the fluctuation in price and when you can expect some relief.
The average price for regular gas in Ohio one month ago was $2.910 compared to Jan. 19’s average of $3.449, according to data from AAA. That’s more than a 50-cent increase.
AAA said January’s usual short days and bad weather tend to keep people off the roads, thereby lowering the demand for gasoline.
“Gasoline demand is usually lackluster this time of year,” said AAA Spokesperson Andrew Gross, “and it likely won’t start to tick up until spring break draws near. So the primary factor in this latest increase is the higher cost of oil, which accounts for more than half of what you pay at the pump.”

We’re in a cultural moment in which the voices of many American citizens and residents are being silenced. It’s terrifying, especially because in recent years much progress has been made, especially when it comes to the rights of the LGBT community. Lest we forget how far we’ve come, here are six books about LGBT history in the United States. This is by no means a comprehensive list – in so many ways, all American stories are queer stories – but it’s a good primer in the many colors in that iconic rainbow.
A Dartmouth College professor, Michael Bronski takes a scholarly approach to this topic, rather than the “family album” approach that might only calls out landmark moments in LGBT history. He examines how deeply ingrained patterns of repression in Puritan culture influenced American attitudes toward sexuality in general and same-sex attraction in particular. Using art and literature as his chief lens (homosexual themes in Moby-Dick get serious air time), he traces queer identity from the transcendentalists through the Gay Liberation Front, the AIDS epidemic, and the “mainstreaming” of queer culture, including openly gay characters on TV and the normalization of same-sex families.
In his collection of anecdotal histories, Adrian Brooks takes great pains to correct the myth that queer activism began with Stonewall – though it in no way minimizes the importance of those landmark 1969 riots. In a series of carefully curated first-person accounts and profiles, the longtime queer activist highlights the presence of queers in all key U.S. activist movements, from the 1930s trade union struggles, the Civil Rights movement, the fight against Anita Bryant and her “Save Our Children” campaign, and the Names Project, to the campaign for the passage of several anti-hate crime laws, including the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. In addition to emphasizing how LGBT folks have always been in the forefront of U.S. progress, it acknowledges the necessity of intersectionality, especially in such chapters as “Black, Gay, and Muslim.” The chronicle of these brave warriors and the obstacles they overcame – including violence, unlawful firings, and imprisonment – are vital models for the battles many are waging now.
Alison Bechdel is best known for her award-winning book Fun Home, but for decades before that graphic autobiographic novel’s release she was revered in the queer community for her comic strip about a multiracial, multireligious community of dykes, gay men, and transpeople in a fictional lefty town. We read it month after month not only because of its endearing drawings and characters but because nothing else captured the daily reality of queer life – not just the overarching political struggles and triumphs, but the smaller details that otherwise were so invisible to mainstream America: lesbian bed death, tofu casseroles, debates over sexual fluidity, womyn’s bookstores, and the adoption of what some perceived as hetero-normative practices. The strip was active from the early 1980s to the late 2000s – a powerfully transformative era in LGBT history – and doubles as a hilarious time capsule for all our worst fashion faux pas.
Long-term queer activist Leslie Feinberg first became known through her memoir, Stone Butch Blues, a brilliantly personal distillation of trans identity in mid-twentieth-century America. This landmark 1996 anthology, Transgender Warriors, celebrates the presence of trans-people in U.S. history, from Native American tribes to the life and lifestyle of Martine Rothblatt, the trans CEO who has launched a “trans-humanist” movement.
Cherríe Moraga, Gloria Anzaldúa
Originally released in 1981, this ever-evolving homage to twentieth-century women-of-color feminism explores, as co-editor Cherríe Moraga writes, “the complex confluence of identities – race, class, gender, and sexuality – systemic to women-of-color oppression and liberation.” The criticism, essays, poetry, profiles, and nonfiction stories here underscore how the historical, social, political, and economic realities of queer American women of color reflect the health of our country and world overall. This landmark anthology doesn’t just endorse intersectionality; it demands it, beautifully.
Moises Kaufman and Members of The Tectonic Theater Project, Leigh Fondakowski, Greg Pierotti, Andy Paris, and Stephen Belber
I include The Laramie Project because it distills the oft-overlooked reality that the much-hallowed American small town often presents profound challenges for its queer residents despite the rise of LGBT rights in cities. Created in the months after gay twenty-one-year-old Matthew Shepard was kidnapped, severely beaten, and left to die while tied to a fence on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming, this is a collection of moments from more than 200 interviews conducted by Moises Kaufman and other members of the Tectonic Theater with people of that town. One of the most performed plays in America today, it addresses the various issues surrounding this tragedy, which has become nothing short of a symbol for America’s continuing struggle with hate and intolerance.

The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) has said there are gaps in the consumer protection framework for SMSFs and that trustees should be wary.
SMSF Adviser requested comment on the issue from ASFA amid the collapse of Charterhill Group, first reported by SMSF Adviser in January.
O’Loughlin’s Lawyers, representing at least 15 Charterhill clients, told SMSF Adviser that many of these clients are ‘mum and dad’ investors.
“The average creditor that we are seeing is between $80,000 to $120,000,” O’Loughlin’s Lawyers partner Kym Ryder said.
While the association could not comment specifically on Charterhill, ASFA chief executive Pauline Vamos said investors “must be wary”.
“There are some gaps in the consumer protection framework for SMSFs and investors must be wary as a result,” Ms Vamos said.
“The law assumes that SMSF trustees are sophisticated and knowledgeable investors and as such, are able to look after themselves,” she said.
ASFA’s Ms Vamos said that when looking at any investment, including property, it is wise to get advice from a licenced financial adviser.
“That way, there is some protection for trustees of SMSFs in the form of oversight of the licensee by ASIC, as well as access to the Financial Services Ombudsman,” she said.

A defiant Tony Blair today insisted Iraq would be worse today if Britain and America had not toppled Saddam Hussein 10 years ago.
The former Prime Minister said Saddam would have been “20 times as bad” as Syria’s President Assad, massacring his own countrymen to keep himself in power.
But Mr Blair, speaking on the anniversary of the controversial invasion, revealed people were still “very abusive” to him over his decision to back the war - and admitted the country was still in a much worse state than he had hoped.
In an interview filmed for BBC2’s Newsnight, Mr Blair, who was Labour Prime Minister from 1997 to 2007, said it did not matter whether the war had “taken a toll” on him.
Mr Blair has faced furious criticism for sending British troops into Iraq on March 20, 2003.
Estimates put the number of civilians killed since the invasion at 100,000 - with a further 179 British soldiers.
Mr Blair admitted the price of the Iraq war had been “very, very high”.
But he added: “Think of the price that people paid before Saddam was removed.
"Think of the Iran-Iraq war in which there were one million casualties, hundreds of thousands of young conscript Iranians, who were killed, many of them by the use of chemical weapons.
“Chemical weapon attacks on his own people, the Kurds. People oppressed, deprived of their rights, tortured and killed on a daily basis year on year on year.”
But, asked if Iraq was “safer today”, he said: “No I wouldn’t say that. But what I would say is it is safer, in my view, as a result of getting rid of Saddam.
“There are still terrorist activities that are killing innocent people for no good reason.”
Mr Blair said the public were still furious with him for taking British troop to war.
He said: “The fact is yes there are people who will be very abusive.”
But he added: “By the way I do walk down the street and by the way I won an election in 2005 after Iraq.
“However, yes it remains extremely divisive and very difficult.”
Mr Blair conceded that he had “long since given up trying to persuade people it was the right decision”.
He added: “In a sense what I’ve tried to persuade people of now is understand how complex and difficult decision it was.
"Because I think if we don’t understand that, we won’t take the right decision about a series of these problems that will arise over that next few years.
“You’ve got one in Syria right now, you’ve got one in Iran to come, and the issue is how do you make the world a safer place?”
He said: “The question is supposing I’d taken the opposite decision.
"Sometimes what happens in politics, unfortunately these things get mixed up with allegations, deceit, lying and so on but in the end sometimes you come to a decision where whichever decision you take the consequences are difficult and the choices ugly.
“This was one such case. If we hadn’t removed Saddam from power just think for example what would be happening if these Arab revolutions were continuing now and Saddam who’s probably twenty times as bad as Assad in Syria, was trying to suppress an uprising in Iraq.”

Austrians refuse bail for Irving
Austrian authorities have refused bail for British historian David Irving, who is facing Holocaust denial charges.
Mr Irving, 67, was arrested on 11 November in connection with two speeches he gave in Austria in 1989.
Mr Irving's lawyer has said the historian now no longer denies that gas chambers existed in Nazi death camps.
A court in Vienna ruled on Friday that Mr Irving must stay in custody as there was a risk he could abscond.
His lawyer Elmar Kresbach had offered to post bail.
Mr Irving sued US historian Deborah Lipstadt in London in 2000 for labelling him a Holocaust denier. He lost in a comprehensive verdict.
Despite the mortal blow to his reputation in 2000, he remains a showman and may well relish the opportunity to grandstand before a wider audience if put on trial, BBC legal affairs analyst Jon Silverman says.
In his books, Mr Irving has argued that the scale of the extermination of the Jews by the Nazis in World War II has been exaggerated.
He has also claimed that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler knew nothing of the Holocaust.
Mr Irving was previously arrested in Austria in 1984.

The Downtown BIA wants to have parking in public spaces and on-road to be penalty free during late hours, especially at winter time. Councillor Noella Rinaldo says there have been instances where people attending the local taverns, are getting ticketed because of the current time frame. There is no parking in city lots or on road during the winter from 10:00pm. Rinaldo suggests that the city extend the time allowable for nighttime parking.
She added that way the people set as designated drivers don’t have to worry about getting a $50 ticket for supposed snow removal in city parking lots that sometimes never takes place.
Several downtown businesses support this move, including Gibby’s Tavern and the Victory Tavern. It also has the backing of MADD Canada. Mayor Tom Laughren says currently the City isn’t supposed to ticket until after 2:00am, but asked for a report to come back on the logistics for such an adjustment.

Movers in Georgetown will tell you for a fact that this small town in Essex County, Massachusetts, is a place where couples looking for a serene environment to raise their kids will love. Not many small towns in Massachusetts and the US boasts of the living standards of this small town. Incorporated in 1838, with a population of more than 8,000 residents, Georgetown is a peaceful residential area with good road networks and social amenities. If you are interested in moving to Georgetown, we are sure that you will want to know more about the area. That is exactly what this article for.
Georgetown Geography and History
Georgetown has a total area of 13.2 square miles, most of which is land. About 12.9% of the town has a landmass, while the remaining 0.31 square miles is water. Located at the edge of hills and plains in the northeast of Massachusetts, this town is surrounded by beautiful flora and fauna. If you like interacting with nature, you will definitely love the area. There are several brooks and streams and some major ponds. The notable ponds are the Pentucket Pond and the Rock Pond. Georgetown also has quite a number of protected areas, some of which include the Georgetown Rowley State Forest, The Crane Pond Wildlife Area, the Lufkins Brook Area, and the Boxford State Forest.
Population and Housing
The current population of Georgetown in the Boston Suburb stands at 8,695, but some other estimates peg the population under 10,000. In terms of homeownership, most of the residents in the area own their own homes, but there are rented apartments available.
One of the perks of living in Georgetown is the quality of its school. The public schools in the area have an above average performance level compared to the state and national average. There are about 1,404 students enrolled in the PK and K-12 grades with a student-teacher ratio meeting the 14:1 standard.

Review | Seventh Crystal – Wonderland
Frontiers Music srl
In 2021 the Swedish rockers Seventh Crystal established themselves with a fantastic melodic rock album entitled ‘Delirium’. To put it bluntly that album made it into my top five of that year. The band around vocalist extraordinaire Kristian Fyhr produced a whirlwind sound and combined that with energetic songs of which most melodies without fail stuck themselves into my brain. I have played ‘Delirium’ that many times and am still (even two years later) so impressed that it seemed sheer impossible to top that album.
THE NATURAL FOLLOW-UP
In the last two years Kristian Fyhr had several contributions as song writer on other Frontiers releases. I believe he can also be heard on the next Magnus Karlsson Free Fall release. Furthermore, let us not forget last year’s Ginevra album ‘We Belong To The Stars’ with Kristian singing. Now we are dealing with ‘Wonderland’, the second release of Seventh Crystal on Frontiers. I must admit that even after writing about rock music for over 40 years I still get excited when a band that impressed me so much comes with a new record. ‘Wonderland’, at first glance, sounds like the natural follow-up of ‘Delirium’.
RICH ON MELODY
The ten songs are all rich on melody and luscious rhythms. It took me several spins to really get into this record (there were ‘Delirium’ floored me right from the start) and I am glad I invested some time. ‘Wonderland’ continues not completely in the spurs of ‘Delirium’. The overall production is heavier and the fact that Seventh Crystal recruited Gustav Linde as second guitarist next to Emil Dornerus definitely contributes to the slightly heavier sound of ‘Wonderland’. That does not mean that the album is completely overrun by guitars as keyboardist Johan Alvsang has his spots as well. He is not just there to add some colour to the proceedings.
‘Delirium’ had a specific way of approach. Kristian Fyhr used a poppy melody to start off with, working on that while the other musicians added their input later. Several songs on ‘Wonderland’ seem to have been written by the same formula. ,,My Own Way’’ has a poppy structure but has developed into a fresh sounding melodic rock song. Some other songs have that characteristic as well but the overall impression is that ‘Wonderland’ is just a bit more ‘beefy’ through and through. There is not much to complain about ‘Wonderland’. Again, the band has written good songs, executed them well, the vocals and vocal melodies are top notch. It is a natural progression of that already so impressive first record.
Release date: 11 March 2023

In this offering you take to the skies, World War I-style. You take the role of a fighter pilot escorting a bomber over enemy lines. The gameplay sees you in your cockpit with the bomber ahead of you. Pressing the SPACE bar signals the bomber to deploy its payload, which at times seems hit and miss; you can’t aim properly. Several enemy aircraft swarm in and attack, and this is where you come in – but be careful not to hit the bomber. The graphics are vector-based with an effective terrain moving below you – watch those hills! As you play, you actually begin to feel like you’re flying as the landscape banks and rises towards you. The game is difficult to master but fun all the same.

In this Gauntlet-inspired game with RPG elements, made for the #CPCRetroDev 2018 contest, your character is seeking glory while trying to steal as much gold and jewellery as possible. The impressive loading screen leads into a neat options page with well presented instructions, accompanied by some moody music. The gameplay takes time to get the hang of as your character moves slowly to begin with, his pace quickening as he gathers food. Similarly, fighting enemies is not a case of just slashing away; you need to find knives and potions first. The graphics are as clear and colourful as you could want from an 8-bit machine, although the scrolling is a little jerky. The sound effects are unexciting, with bearable in-game music. The game is not an easy challenge but it’s fun and worth taking up if you like an arcade game with a little more depth.
By 2056, the Star Wars satellite defence systems were ready, with eight satellites orbiting Earth. There was total peace for many years, but now aliens have taken over the satellites and started attacking Earth. You are Captain Nick Diamond, and your mission is to destroy the satellites with the sole remaining spacecraft available – the fairly standard Eagle Class E751. Your spacecraft is equipped with a cosmogun, but as you destroy more aliens, you can use a fazalaza, a dyno ray, and a blaster – the only weapon that can destroy the satellites. However, you have to blast a lot of aliens to obtain the blaster, and this is so tedious and repetitive that it’s not worth the effort. The graphics lack colour as well, although the music is excellent.
(Iber Soft, 1989)
It’s 1992, and there has been no conflict between the world’s superpowers for many years – but there is now a serious threat to Earth, a threat so serious that the World Security Council has been put on DEFCOM 1 (er, surely it should be DEFCON 1?). Those aliens are up to no good again, and they’ve been detected in the Vesta-7 sector of Ceres. This is a shoot-’em-up in three parts, and you control a different vehicle in each part. You have to fly to the space shuttle launch site in a helicopter, then fly the shuttle through an asteroid belt, and then take on the aliens in a space fighter. In the first and third parts, you also have three smart bombs. This is a mediocre game, primarily because it’s a Spectrum port, but there are also no power-ups, and the sound effects are very poor.

Defence is a brilliant and original strategy game which is influenced by the demo scene with its overall presentation. In this marvellous and smartly programmed gem, you have to place your defences in such a way that the enemies are destroyed before they reach the exit. You have four types of defence, each with different attributes. The enemies also have different abilities. The levels are intelligently designed and they pose challenges as to how to set up your defensive perimeter. The graphics are great, although the animation and movement of the sprites are jerky. The sound is truly magnificent with a fantastic tune – one of the best I’ve heard on the CPC – playing throughout the game, and there is some digitised speech too. The gameplay is remarkable; it’s highly addictive and the difficulty is correctly set. What else could you ask for?
Reviewed by Pug
Defender on the CPC. Unless you’ve lived on Mars for the last 30 years, there’s no need to explain how this game works. Alligata’s version is very neat indeed. The graphics move smoothly and are colourful. The sound effects are very imaginative but there’s no music – no worries, though, as the arcade original didn’t have any music either! The difficulty level is set just right to allow progression and very high scores!
(Ubi Soft, 1989)
- Knowledge of French is required in order to play this game properly.
Travel back in time to England in 1149. The king has been assassinated, and the Saxons and the Normans are fighting it out to reclaim the throne. You play the part of one of four Saxon lords (hint: choose Sir Wolfric the Wild) and must fight the Norman lords (and the Saxon lords too if you want) and prevent them from gaining territory. The more territory you have, the more taxes you can collect from the peasants to build up your army – but all this fighting takes a heavy toll. You can also claim territory in jousting contests, and lay siege to your enemies’ fortresses! This is a big game, and the graphics and animation have to be seen to be believed; they are simply breathtaking. Unfortunately, it’s too difficult, as the Norman lords take control too quickly for you to do anything about them, and this is a real shame.
(Enigma Variations, 1990)
Ming the Merciless has kidnapped the Defenders’ children and is holding them in the Fortress of Evil. You control Flash Gordon as he fights his way through three levels of the castle, shooting and jumping over monsters, and facing some pretty mean end-of-level guardians before encountering Ming himself. Your colleagues are also able to help you, by opening locked doors or creating bridges which will allow you to cross chasms. There are also a few icons which can be collected, giving you a more powerful weapon, extra energy or an extra life. The graphics are marvellous, but the music on the menu is unremarkable. However, the biggest problem is that the game is very tough indeed; completing the first level is quite a challenge, even with the four lives that you are given.
(Gremlin Graphics, 1987)
Every now and then, there’s a game which is strikingly original, and this is one of them. By bouncing a laser beam off sets of mirrors, you must shoot all the balls on the screen before aiming it at a target. However, watch out for the gremlins who will adjust the mirrors when you’re concentrating on something else! You must also avoid overloading the machine, which can happen if the laser bounces back on itself, or if the beam hits a mine. It’s not easy to get the hang of it at first, and the colour schemes used in some levels are horrible, but you may well like it, and there are 60 levels to tax your grey matter.
Our hero is back to rescue some more fairies from hell and bring them to safety in heaven, but there are lots of lakes of fire and nasty, fire-breathing monsters to battle against. In fact, there are far too many monsters. If you thought Stormlord was tricky, then you clearly haven’t played this game; it’s impossible to get anywhere without a monster appearing from nowhere and causing you to lose a life. Getting Stormlord to jump properly is also a matter of luck. The graphics are as well-drawn as the first game, and the tune is good, too, but it really is far too difficult.

Peterborough's location in north Cambridgeshire has been key to much of its economic success starting with the use of local clay for the manufacture of bricks in the 20th century. The suitable soil and climate for growing sugar beet led to the city's famous sugar beet factories (now closed but British Sugar's headquarters is still in Peterborough) and the rail and road network has made it a convenient regional centre for many firms who need good links to London. The city can be proud of its past achievements but it continues to prove it's a UK leader with initiatives such as the Environment Capital Manifesto which aims to make Peterborough the greenest city in the country.

Movie Review By Andrea Chase
"Grey Gardens," first released in 1976, is a fascinating character study for many reasons, not the least of which is that it proves F. Scott Fitzgerald's adage that the rich are different from you and me. How else to explain the reaction of the ladies of the documentary Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter, Edith, Jr. to their downwardly mobile economic shift? Once coddled by servants and trained in the fine art of doing nothing, poverty's reality is politely ignored. The clipped, o so posh accents remain as the ladies of the piece, observe as best they can the social niceties in the midst of squalor and denial.
Their claim to fame is their relationship to the most famous Bouvier of them all, Jacqueline, who went on to marry John Kennedy and then Aristotle Onassis. Her aunt and cousin, though, went on to lose their wealth, it's never explained how, and to gradually turn their once regal summer retreat, "Grey Gardens" into a fortress of fleas, filth, and garbage. Racoons live in the attic, unnumbered cats roam the house and the grounds, as the Edies confine themselves to one bedroom equipped with hotplate, refrigerator, and a stunning portrait of the elder Edie as a young matron.
Big Edie and Little Edie, as they're called, ramble through much of their days, sporting odd fashions created from whatever's handy and reminiscing about the disasters that have befallen them. These seem to center around the long dead and even longer estranged Mr. Beale, husband and father respectively. When not reliving injustices, real and imagined, inflicted years ago, they dream of what the future will bring them. It is remarkable watching them bicker, snarl, and snipe directly at the camera, attempting to draw the hapless cameraman into the quarrels. Most remarkable of all is the transcendent way in which these entirely unhappy people live in the past and the future but never for an instant in the present. It's enough to turn the audience Zen Buddhist in one fell swoop.
The Maysle Brothers, Albert and David, film with a gritty hand-held style. They use tight close-ups of their subjects and long uninterrupted takes to home in on what makes these women tick. In the process, they become a welcome new audience to the decades long arguments and conversations that these two have been keeping alive. Fascinating, grotesque and patently theater of the absurd, "Grey Gardens" is a human comedy of tragic proportions.

Pursuing the Dream
Joshua Weiner (BA '99, Communication Studies) is the co-writer and co-producer of 'High Road,' a character-driven film with some big names. Although the movie was originally set to be about a road trip between Chicago and Detroit, several constraints forced Weiner and co-writer and co-producer Matt Walsh to set the film between LA and Oakland, CA.
Originally, the plot involved a decent amount of filming in Kalamazoo," I really wanted to shoot a scene at Kline's bagels because I figured we would get free bagels, but then I found out it wasn't even open anymore. So I changed the scene to Martini's pizza," Weiner said.
The idea for the film came about while Weiner and Walsh were talking about a mutual friend, and decided he would make a great movie character.
"One day, Matt, who is one of the founders of the world famous UCB improv theatre, decided we should make it an improvised movie and he would direct it— and everyone in the comedy community loves Matt so he was able to get people like Rob Riggle, Horatio Sanz, Ed Helms, etc... to do small parts in the movie to help get it noticed."
The film has since been bought and distributed (more info can be found below).
This isn't Weiner's first project. He's been pretty active since leaving WMU.
"I wrote on a show Code Monkeys that was on the G4 network, a show called The Grid on IFC, and most recently a pilot for FX which, unfortunately, did not go to series. Also, lots of free-lance gigs and internet videos along the way. Stuff to pay the bills basically."
He also wrote a parody of the show Downton Abby, called Downton Arby. If you're wondering—yes, he has a sense of humor.
Weiner has also been involved with Spike TV's show, Manswers, as a writer and researcher, and G4's first ever narrative show, Code Monkeys.
When asked if he was living his dream Weiner, who originally wanted to be a lawyer, responded, "I don't know if I'm living the dream quite yet, but I'm definitely loving pursuing the dream. I love 'showbiz' and the friends and life style I've made."
To learn more, please follow the links below:
IMDB — HIGH ROAD
Weiner's Most Interesting WMU memory:
"I was the manager of the basketball team for a week my freshman year. I thought I wanted to be a high school coach and teacher at the time. Well... I only lasted a week, mainly because I had to be there at 6 AM to do... I don't even know what... but it wasn't sleeping… did I mention I had to be there at 6 AM? "
Weiner also has a blog, which was featured in the Wall Street Journal, 'Diablo Cody's Star Wars.'
