The problem of isolating structures from surface waves by open or filled trenches under conditions of plane strain is numerically studied. The soil is assumed to be an isotropic, linear elastic or viscoelastic nonhomogeneous (layered) half-space medium. Waves generated by the harmonic motion of a rigid surface machine foundatin are considered. The formulation and solution of the problem are accomplished by the frequency domain boundary element method. The Green's function of Kausel-Peek-Hull for a thin layered half-space is employed and this essentially requires only a discretization of the trench perimeter and the soil-foundation interface. The proposed methodology is used for the solution of a number of vibration isolation problems and the effect of soil inhomogeneity on the wave screening effectiveness of trenches is discussed.

Efforts to deter Old town youth from drugs and crime received a major boost after the International Organisation for Migration-IOM handed over new boat to Old town youth.
The fishing boat will enable youth who were once swallowed by drug addiction and crime venture into fishing activities.
They will indulge in small businesses and make a living.
However anti drug lobby Reachout Centre Trust cautioned the beneficiaries against misusing such donations.
RCT Executive Director Taib Abdulrahman said some of the programs launched before drastically failed while some youth groups sold them off to unknown people.
Speaking during the handover ceremony in Old town, Mombasa, Taib appealed to the youth to wisely use the fishing boat so as to uplift their living standards.

“Some of the sponsored projects crumbled, we want the beneficiaries to take great care of these projects so that they earn from them,” noted Mr. Taib
He also appealed to the local administration, community leaders and local political leaders to closely monitor the developments and guide the beneficiaries to the right path.
Drugs and crime
“If you sell off such projects and share the money amongst yourselves, not only will you languish in poverty but you will also embarrass,” added Taib.
He revealed that drug addiction and crime remains major challenges among the youth and should be addressed through such efforts.
He however appealed to parents to seek assistance from addiction counselors so that their children can be helped out of the menace.
Old town Ward representative Murfad Amour Abdallah called on the youth to deter themselves from drugs and crime.
He said Old town reputation has dwindled following series of crime related activities.

In Web discussions and blogs centered on environmental health and sustainability, Toyota and Honda have an unlikely stable mate: General Motors, a bane of environmentalists for spending millions to lobby against fuel economy mandates.
In a new report by J.D. Power and Associates’ Web Intelligence Division, the three auto brands garnered higher-than-average positive mentions in the auto category. The report analyzed 40 million blog posts between January-June of this year for several industries including auto, retail, consumer package goods and energy.
Across all categories, Whole Foods joined Toyota, Honda and GM as the most positively talked about brands on the Web. Wal-Mart and eBay also received a high volume of mentions in sustainability discussions, but earned below average scores in terms of positive acclaim. Read more

I sense a subtle but important change of emphasis in the ICC reports on climate change that I think was evident in this “Deep Dive: IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate” I attended today. There was plenty of gloom about the projections of the future, and there is plenty to be gloomy about. The earth is warming at a rate unprecedented in human history. Oceans are rising both from thermal expansion of the water and lately from the melting of terrestrial glaciers (melting of sea ice does not raise sea levels) and there is danger that the Antarctic ice sheets could join in, something not previously anticipated in this century. The change in emphasis that I perceived is a more practical approach. There is more emphasis on trying to figure out what we can do, both to mitigate and adapt, and less of ultimately fruitless search for blame in the past.
An iterative process is making the science better
An important factor, IMO, is that projections are becoming more precise. Science is an iterative process and with each iteration we get better, never finding final truth but getting closer to usable ones.
Introducing the day’s program was Ambassador David Balton, Senior Fellow, Wilson Center and Pete Ogden, Vice President for Energy, Climate, and the Environment, United Nations Foundation. They laid out some of the facts I mentioned above and talked about the value of the new report. This is the first one to emphasis oceans and the cryosphere. These two were put into the same category more as an expedient than a plan, but their pairing was fortunate, since they are intimately connected. Water flows between them. Ogden talked about the usefulness of IPCC reports. The scientists do not make policy, but they inform it.
How the IPCC report function works
Ko Barrett, Vice Chair of the IPCC, talked about how the IPCC reports are produced. This one involved 104 authors combining 6981 studies and encompassing 31,176 comments. The report documents the thawing of glaciers and permafrost. Barrett explained that changes are coming too fast of natural systems to adapt. Humans can help, and we will need to adapt, but we need to mitigate change to slow it down enough that we can adapt. The oceans have been absorbing much of the heat of climate change, but marine ecosystems have been harmed (consider bleaching of coral) and there is a question about how long this can continue. Things often do not develop uniformly. Rather, natural systems feature punctuated equilibriums with tipping points of significant change. This is a risk.
Timely, ambitious and coordinated action are called for. In high mountains melting is evident. Smaller glaciers are shrinking, and some are disappearing. Glaciers and snow cover are reservoirs. Even if we limit greenhouse gas today, ¼ permafrost will be lost. This is already affecting arctic populations. Many low-lying islands will be under water.
She mentioned something I had not thought about – oceanic heat waves. Of course, it makes sense. Oceans have weather just like the land does. And the extremes are the issue, not the average.
The quicker and better we act, the better we will be able to address the issue
Next up was a panel discussion moderated by Monica Medina, Founder and Publisher, Our Daily Planet. First to present was Mark Eakin, IPCC Contributing Author. He talked about oceanic heat waves that cause coral bleaching. There have been three big bleaching events in recent years: 1998, 2010 and a long one 2014-17. The distressing fact is that this is still going on. Once coral ecosystems are dead, they take a long time to come back, even if the heat is abated. We are currently looking at big bleaching events around Hawaii and the Caribbean.
Robert DeConto, University of Massachusetts, Amherst; IPCC Lead Author, talked about his part of the report showing a set of charts, showing projections based on a low possibility, a blue curve with aggressive curbing of emissions, and a higher one, a red curve if current trends continue. We – and the world – probably can adapt to the blue line, red maybe not.
Sea level rises – thermal expansion and melting of terrestrial glaciers
There has been a change in why sea levels are rising. In the past, it was thermal expansion. Now it is more land-based melting. Greenland is melting from the top down. As it melts, it gets darker and absorbs more heat. There is more than 7 meters of sea level rise worth of ice in Greenland. An even bigger problem would be Antarctica. The danger here is sea level rise and the sea getting under the ice. Much of Antarctica is below sea level. It has been in the deep freeze, so it did not matter, but if water gets below the ice, it will be a bigger deal.
Adaptations requires mitigation, not a choice between them
Michael Oppenheimer, Princeton University; IPCC Coordinating Lead Author, picked up with what can we humans do about the problem. The big thing is to reduce emissions so that we are closer to the blue line. We might have a chance to catch up with this, to adapt.
Adaptation will include retreating from the coasts and allowing for natural buffers. There have been buyouts after hurricanes. Those who do not want to move away might build higher off the ground. We can also build protections, like sea walls. We can even advance into the sea, as they have in Netherlands. But a precondition for any adaptation is to mitigate.
Mr. Oppenheimer was very critical of subsidized flood insurance. This encourages building where it otherwise makes no sense. This is exacerbated by incentives that do not include preparations. The Federal government will help after a disaster, but fixing the system gets politicians no credit. People forget the last disaster and they don’t appreciate the disaster avoided.
During the question period, Mr. Oppenheimer talked about adaptation. Some of our coastal problems are exacerbated by climate change, but climate change is not the primary driver. Conservation of coastal areas in ecosystems like salt marshes and mangroves could be very helpful. These systems are themselves adaptive. It is an ecosystem-based defense. But we tend to destroy these things as much as protect them.
Developments in the high arctic
There was supposed to be a second panel, but evidently the only one to show up was Ambassador Kåre R. Aas, Ambassador to the United States, Norway, so Moderator: Sherri Goodman, Senior Fellow, Wilson Center, interviewed him. Ambassador Aas gave practical advice. We cannot solve all the problems at the same time, and so need first to address the worst or the ones that pay off the most. Fix the problem not the blame. Norway is working toward a no net carbon future, but in the meantime is a big producer of oil and gas. The Ambassador emphasized that using gas is better than coal, even if the long-term goal is to use neither.
The thawing arctic is opening up new opportunities and challenges. Shipping is become easier in the region. The Arctic Ocean is a kind of frozen Mediterranean Sea. If it thaws, ships can move. Resources are also an issue if the deep freeze thaws. The Norwegians are watching with some alarm the Russians on the Kola Peninsula. This is an old concern, made more current by climate change. But the Ambassador has observed that many people feel more threatened by the Chinese than by the Russians. China is no where near an arctic power, but they have strong interests in the region’s resources.
Ambassador Balton and Rafe Pomerance, Chair, Arctic 21, closed the program. Mr. Pomerance emphasized the need to get lots of people onboard, to build consensus. These are big issues that affect everybody. Solutions imposed, even if they are objectively sublime, will not be as effective as those brought about by consensus.
All things considered, an interesting discussion, encouraging despite the gloom of many of the facts. We have to continue our striving.

The story of Kannagi, a woman who forgave her unfaithful husband and set an entire city ablaze when he was unjustly executed, captivated B. Sivakumar, Tamil writer and director. Her story fuelled his imagination to produce the first Tamil graphic novel, Silapathikaaram , which is scheduled to be launched by the end of January.
Kannagi is believed to have lived many centuries ago and is a character in an ancient Tamil epic of the same name. Originally written by Ilango Adigal, a Jain monk, it has been rewritten by many authors over time. Often read and narrated, the story of Kannagi is celebrated, even worshipped in Tamil Nadu. Now, with the graphic novel, Sivakumar hopes it will reach out to the young.
Myth maker: Sivakumar owns Cord Studios, an animation studio and comic portal. Sharp Image
The story begins at Poombuhar, a small town in Nagapattinam, where Kannagi and her husband Kovalan, a jewel merchant, lived, and ends at Madurai, which Kannagi burnt down. The third major character in this travelogue of an epic is Madhavi, a woman who Kovalan lives with after his marriage with Kannagi sours. But he eventually returns to his wife, who forgives him and embraces him back into her life. But by this time, Kovalan is broke, and Kannagi gives him her anklet to sell, so he can set up a business. Things turn awry when the goldsmith who had stolen the queen’s anklet frames Kovalan as the thief. King Nedunchezhian, descendent of the Pandyas, orders the execution of Kovalan. On receiving news of her husband’s death, an irate Kannagi proves her husband’s innocence and sets the city on fire with “her power of chastity”.
Not exactly a story that resonates with modern times.
But its narrative intricacies convinced Sivakumar. “Silapathikaaram is very rich in details. After I started reading it, I started imagining how it might have been during those times and thought, ‘Why can’t I create images of the story to narrate it?’ So, I decided on the graphic form.” But he didn’t want to break up the story into small images as is done in most comics. Instead, a panel in Sivakumar’s book narrates many incidents.
Sivakumar’s research took him to many people and places. He discussed the epic with his friend Valluvan, another Tamil writer whom Sivakumar describes as “his guide in art”. Both writers agreed that the distinguishing feature of the epic are the detailed descriptions. “In the wedding scene of Kannagi and Kovalan, the length, breadth and height of the stage is described, the things that were placed on the stage are listed, what kind of clothes the people wore are described. It is amazing,” Sivakumar says. His attempt is to visualize these descriptions alongside text in contemporary Tamil.
He travelled with Valluvan from Poombuhar to Madurai, tracking the sites where the incidents in the epic occurred. Six months of rigorous study helped Sivakumar and his team at the Chennai-based Cord Studios—his own animation studio that also manages an online Tamil comic portal—understand the story better. “It was a very important trip in my life,” he says. “I had travelled to these places before, but this time it changed me to a great extent.”
Sivakumar started off as an assistant to directors such as Janaki Viswanathan and Ravi Chandran, and has directed four movies, including Urumattram which won the National Award for Best Environmental Film in 2002. He started writing and reading poetry and non-fiction in his teens, and finally realized that history was what he loved. “History is magical,” he says.
His passion for history guided the way he approached the project. He first questioned the possibility of a woman burning an entire city down, but later concluded that Kannagi was from a family of oil merchants, who might have helped Kannagi do it. “There must have been clashes between the merchants and the ruler, and they were perhaps waiting for an opportunity to rebel.” All these details are not in the original text, but Sivakumar incorporates them in the visuals in his book.
“The graphic form can attract the younger generation to this epic,” Sivakumar says. He has plans to translate it to other languages as well, including English.

The Central Polish part of the Vistula valley shows two modern settlement waves: The first between 1600 and 1650 and another one after 1750. The gap after 1650 has to be explained by the Nordic Wars and their consequences.
The colonists who settled at the Central Polish parts of the Vistula between 1600 and 1650 mainly originated from the neighboring areas downstream Vistula around Thorn, Bromberg, Kulm and Schwetz. But they came also from the more distant areas of the Vistula valley around Graudenz, Neuenburg, Marienwerder, Dirschau and from the Danzig Großes and Kleines Werder. These areas had been settled in the 16th century by Dutch and Friesian Mennonites.
These settlers were usually called the "Niedrunger" (from the German word Niederung = depression area).
Several families also originated from Western- and Eastern Pomerania.
The settlers who arrived after 1750 mainly originated from the areas north of Thorn and Włocławek.
For the Dobriner Land the first German settlements are mentioned for the beginning of the 18th century.
Albert Breyer ascertained the fact that in the villages around Lipno and Rypin the mainly used dialect is the one from West or East Prussia. This is also confirmed by the place names mentioned in the Marriage and Death entries of the Church books.
During the period of the Prussian Administration after the 3rd Partition of Poland (1795-1807) a systematic founding of new settlements was started by the Prussian Authorities. The new settlements were called "Schwabendörfer" (Swabian villages) because the new settlers were preferably recruited from the Pfalz, Hessen, Lothringen and Württemberg.
The government supported the settlers with the supply of land, travel expenses, building of the new houses and farming tools.
In 1797 the colony Schröttersdorf near Płock was founded. Later it was divided into the villages Maszewo, Chełpowo, Powsino and Biala. In 1803 the place Leonberg (Lwówek) was founded Southeast of Gąbin. More Swabian villages developed in the area of Łódz.
There were no Prussians foundings in the Dobriner Land.

If someone you know is becoming increasingly forgetful, you should encourage them to see their GP to talk about the early signs of dementia.
Dementia is a syndrome (group of related symptoms) that indicate problems with the brain. One of the most common symptoms is memory loss. While there are other reasons someone might be experiencing memory loss, if dementia is detected early, in some cases its development can be slowed and the person affected may maintain their mental function.
Be aware of the signs of dementia
Memory loss is one of the key symptoms, but others include:
- increasing difficulty with tasks and activities that require concentration and planning
- changes in personality and mood
- periods of mental confusion
- difficulty finding the right words
Anyone experiencing these symptoms should be encouraged to see their GP as soon as possible. Dementia is a diagnosis of exclusion, which means that other conditions will be ruled out before a dementia diagnosis is made. A GP will run a series of tests and assessments to do this. They may also need to be given a history of the problems experienced. Read more about the symptoms of dementia and related diseases, and how dementia is diagnosed.
Talking to someone about dementia
Raising the issue of memory loss and the possibility of dementia can be a difficult thing to do. The person experiencing the symptoms may be confused, worried or in denial. The Alzheimer’s Society suggests the following steps to start someone talking when you’re worried about their memory:
- Have the conversation in a familiar, non-threatening environment.
- Explain why talking is important and say that you’re worried because you care.
- Use examples to make things clearer. It’s important not to create a sense of ‘blame’. For example, instead of telling someone they couldn’t make a cup of tea, you could suggest they seem to find it difficult to make a cup of tea.
- Have an open conversation and be honest and direct. For example, ask how they’re feeling about their memory.
- Make a positive plan of action together.
While a dementia diagnosis might initially come as a shock, some people come to view it in a positive way, as it’s the first step towards getting someone the information, help and support they need to manage the condition. It can help people take control, make plans and prepare for the future. Read more about what to do if you’ve just been diagnosed with dementia.

After we booked our picturesque church and fabulous village hall for the setting of our wedding, the very first thing James and I did was book our fabulously talented photographer, Sarah Jane Ethan.
The capturing of our day is so important to us, as long after the wedding day is over we’ll be able to look at our photographs and reminisce endlessly about how great it was. Our children and grandchildren will be able to see our wedding in stunning detail, and I always secretly hope that some famous descendant of mine will be on “Who Do You Think You Are” in 150 years time and they’ll cry when they discover some old photo of Great-great Grandma Emily (I’m not narcissistic I promise).
That in mind, SJ was the first person I thought of to be our photographer. I’ve ooh-ed and ah-ed over her photography for a while now, and it was a no brainer. Her images are so natural and beautiful, and completely show the love and happiness that surrounds a wedding day. I honestly urge you to have a look at her website because the images are just stunning (her husband is also a fantastic photographer too!).
Of course, this was made doubly special when I watched a video on her website and I realised that SJ was the lady who prayed with me when I became a Christian six years ago!!
I felt like crying!
It will be so special to have her sharing in our day, especially seeing as she was there at the very start of my faith journey, and I can’t wait to get to know her more in the next 969 days.


STOCKHOLM -- A key to helping Volvo Cars' EVs achieve price parity with comparable combustion-powered models will be an affordable small SUV the automaker plans to reveal in 2023.
Volvo showed a teaser image of the vehicle at the end of its introduction of the new EX90 flagship electric large SUV here Wednesday.
The EV will be a "city car aimed at a younger demographic who can subscribe to it and make it their first Volvo," CEO Jim Rowan told Automotive News Europe.
"If we can get them in as first-time Volvo owners then we can try to maintain them as customers" as they marry and start families and require bigger vehicles, such as the EX90, Rowan said. But the flagship SUV is not an option for first-time car owners with starting prices in the 100,000-euro range.
In Europe, Volvo sibling brand Lynk & CO sells its 01 plug-in hybrid, which is a derivative of the Volvo XC40, via a subscription plan that costs 550 euros a month in Germany.

When to stop blood thinners before surgeries?
Clinical Brief — August 15th
Blood thinners and surgeries don’t mix. For those on certain blood thinners, stopping treatment for 3 days before a surgery may give the body enough time to detox.
Where’s the evidence?
Researchers from France and Belgium did a prospective observational study involving about 420 patients taking a class of blood thinners called DOACs. Specifically, dabigatran (Pradaxa), rivaroxaban (Xarelto), and apixaban (Eliquis). A good 95% of patients were on blood thinners for A-fib.
Everyone was scheduled to go into surgery and had stopped their blood thinners at varying times before their operations. The researchers took blood samples before their surgeries and measured their drug levels. A drug concentration under 30 ng/mL was thought to be low enough to control the risk of bleeding for high-risk surgeries.
So how long should people stop treatment before their surgeries?
“54 hours was the best duration of DOAC discontinuation to predict a DOAC concentration ≤30 ng/mL”
- Godier A, et al.
In translation: 54 hours before a surgery is likely to be long enough for DOACs to clear the body. But since this was an awkward timing, the authors proposed 72 hours instead.
Also of note, dabigatran (Pradaxa) levels tapered off slower for patients who had lower kidney function than patients with good kidney function. This was more or less expected, but it’s still good to see confirmation.
For patients with lower kidney function and taking dabigatran (Pradaxa), it might be prudent to stop their blood thinners 4–5 days before their operation to give the drug more time to clear out of the body.
Patients on blood thinners often go off of treatment just before they have surgeries. Stop too early, and the risk of a blood clot before surgery goes up. Stop too late, and the surgery may induce an uncontrolled bleed.
This study suggests that stopping treatment 3 days in advance might be enough for some patients. It also confirmed that patients with low kidney function taking dabigatran (Pradaxa) may want to consider stopping treatment earlier before surgeries.
Last thing to remember. When blood thinners are stopped, it may be good to brush up on some of the signs and symptoms of clots help monitor any unexpected issues.

German manufacturer Medion has unveiled its latest high end, super fast desktop replacement laptop, the Akoya P8610 laptop which should cost around £800.
The main attraction of the P8610 is its huge LCD screen; a large 18.4-inch one capable of displaying 1680x945 pixels in a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, perfect to watch high resolution programmes.
The sound subsystem is also worthy of mention as it supports Dolby Home Theater and apparently boost the audio capabilities of the laptop substantially even if you are using a 2.1 or headphones.
Other hardware specifications include a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4GB RAM, a 320GB hard disk drive, a Blu-ray reader, a dedicated Geforce 9600M GS GPU, a built-in Freeview Tuner with remote control, a full size keyboard as well as an HDMI port.
It is worth pointing that the P8610 - which was announced back in August - uses Hybrid SLI and Hybrid Power which aims at reducing power consumption when doing light tasks (like surfing the web or doing word processing).
The laptop - which won't be getting any awards for design - will come with a few accessories as well like a USB mouse, Windows Home Premium and a laptop bag.
It is not on sale yet at Medion (or indeed other usual retailers like Aldi, Tesco or Blockbuster) but should be available before Christmas.
How does it compare to the competition? Well, the Acer 8930G at £800 is its exact replica - both pricewise and specwise.

A staggering 2.7 million tons of plastic waste are generated in the Philippines each year, and an estimated 20 percent ends up in the ocean.
How much waste is produced each year in the Philippines?
Recording 14.66 million tons of trash a year, the Philippines is the 4th largest generator of solid waste among country-members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, according to a report by the United Nations Environment Program.
How many plastic bottles are thrown away each year in the Philippines?
Filipinos throw away a daunting figure of more than 17.5 billion of plastics every year, mostly of which end up in the ocean. Volunteers collect garbage along the coast of Manila bay during the annual International Coastal Cleanup Day.

End Of The Beard Challenge
On Friday, October 3rd I final tabled a 234 player field at the Orleans. Three months prior, I began to hit a tournament downswing. I felt I was playing well, however the run outs weren’t going my way in big spots.
After a month of frustration I needed something to uplift my spirits and a challenge with an end goal seemed perfect for the situation. I don’t ever grow my beard longer than stubble, so this was a great time to try something new.
The Challenge: I would not shave my beard until I final tabled a live event of 60 players or more. Below is my conclusion video, it is also my very first video blog post. Please excuse my “ums” and “uhs”.

Here’s a fascinating use of a crowdsourcing technology called Ushahidi, originally developed to track election violence in Kenya: as the Times reports, a group called the Louisiana Bucket Brigade is employing the distributed reporting tool to let local citizens help track the fallout from the rig explosion and oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. As reporter Sarah Wheaton notes, relying on the public’s input will help the group highlight more than just physical damage to the land, water and wildlife, since the system can also track economic effects such as unemployment and idled fishing boats.
The information collected will no doubt be particularly valuable once it’s cross-referenced with satellite imagery and measurements, as well as with data on water quality and such collected by scientists working in the Gulf and on the coast. It’s a great example of how modern social tools can expand the universe of people able to contribute to the policy debate, since every data point on the map will represent a real (rather than a theoretical or anticipated) effect of the spill. A terrific idea, and thanks to A Loyal Reader (my dad, and the guy behind two crowdsourced projects himself, the legendary MultiMachine and the local-energy-focused Project Genny) for sending it in.

Line-up changes are par for the course in the world of professional esports However, full-scale roster changes are relatively unheard of. However, the American CS:GO team Complexity Gaming sent shockwaves through the industry in late 2021 by announcing an entirely new line-up ahead of the 2022 playing season. Below, we profile Complexity’s new roster ahead of their first match at the BLAST Premier Spring Group stages.
Johnny ”JT” Theodosiou
This South African player has been active since 2015, although has previously been relegated to A and B-Tier tournaments. As with the rest of the 2022 Complexity line-up, Theodosiou’s previous major appointment was with Extra Salt. Before that, he served time with Cloud9, ATK, and Denial eSports. Theodosiou will be continuing his role as an in-game leader in his appointment with Complexity, while his prior experience as an entry fragger makes him an incredibly versatile talent.
Justin ”FaNg” Coakley
This Canadian esports professional has been a staple of the CS:GO scene since 2018. His first appointment was with Birdup, although he’s also spent time with more recognizable outfits including Variance Gaming and Rugratz. Along with his fellow new signings, Coakley established himself as one to watch as part of Extra Salt. Recent career highlights include being named the Most Valuable Player at Funspark ULTI 2020.
Ricky ”floppy” Kemery
Ricky Kemery is an established esports player who’s spread himself between Global Offensive and VALORANT. He’s been around for some time, debuting with ex-Onclick back in 2015. While most of his current teammates have fairly limited experience, Kemery is an old hat when it comes to Global Offensive. He’s also played alongside some fairly prominent line-ups, including spells with the likes of Team Singularity. With an impressive track record in rifler roles, look out for Kemery to deliver solid support throughout the 2022 season.
Michael ”Grim” Wince
Unlike many of his current teammates, Michael ”Grim” Wince has plenty of experience in S-Tier tournaments. Although he only entered the pro-level circuit in 2017, Wince quickly established himself as a standout CS:GO player. He’s previously served in a rifler role for Team Liquid, although his tenure with that S-Tier team failed to secure any first-place finishes.
Paytyn ”junior” Johnson
Paytyn Junior is a relative novice, but he’s enjoyed considerable success playing in B-Tier leagues. A short tenure with Bad News Bears saw him enjoy an impressive run of first-place victories, although his time with FURIA Esports was far less fruitful. An established AWPer, Johnson is bound to come in handy when it comes to ranged combat scenarios.
Tiaan ”T.c” Coertzen
Finally, we move on to retired player Tiaan Coertzen, who was recently unveiled as coach for Complexity’s 2022 roster. Some might consider Coertzen an unusual choice for coach. He only debuted as a professional player in 2014 and has spent much of his career playing in C and B-Tier tournaments. His endeavors at A and S-Tier tournaments have been uninspiring, to say the least, but his efforts as coach for Team Salt were admirable. Although some esports fans might have preferred a more experienced coach behind the helm, it’s worth bearing in mind that Coertzen is intimately acquainted with Complexity’s new roster.

recreations, and apply to your compting house with diligence. It may not be yet too late to retrieve
affairs. Inspect therefore your gains, and cast up what proportion they bear to your expenses; and then see which of the latter you can, and which you cannot contract. Consider, that when once a man suffers himself to go backward in the world, it must be an uncommon spirit of industry that retrieves him, and puts him forward again.
Reflect I beseech you, before it be too late, upon the inconveniences which an impoverished trader is put to, for the t'emainder of his life ; which, too, may happen to be the prime part of it; the indignities he is likely to suffer from those whose money he has unthinkingly squandered; the contempt he will meet with from all, not excepting the idle ecmpanions of his folly; the injustice he does his family, in depriving his children, not only of the power of raising themselves, but of living tolerably; and how, on the contrary, from being born to a creditable expectation, he sinks them into the lowest class of mankind, and exposes them to most dangerous teniptations. What has not such a father to answer for! and all this for the sake of indulging himself in an idle, careless, thoughtless habit, that cannot afford the least satisfaction, beyond the present hour, if in that; and which must be attended with deep remorse, when he comes to reflect. Think seriously of these things, and in time resolve on such a course as may bring credit to yourself, justice to all you deal with, peace and pleasure to your own mind, comfort to your family; and which will give at the same time the highest satisfaction to your careful and loving father.
The Son's grateful Answer. Honoured Sir,
I RETURN you my sincere thanks for your seasonable reproof and advice. I have indeed too much indulged myself in an idle careless habit, and had already begun to feel the evil consequences of it when I received your letter, in the insults of two of my.creditors, from whom I expected kinder treatment. But indeed they wanted but their own, 30 I could only blame myself, who had brought their rough usage upon me. Your letter came so seasonable upon this,
that I hepe it will not want the desired effect; and as, I thank God, it is not yet too late, I ain resolved to take another course with myself and my affairs, that I may avoid the ill consequences you so judiciously forwarn me of, and give to my family and friends the pleasure they so well deserve at my hands; and particularly that satisfaction to so good a father, which is owing to him by his most dutiful son.
LETTER IV. Recommending a Man Servant. THE bearer has served me with integrity and fidelity these three years, but having a desire to settle in Philadelphia, he left my house about a week ago, and by a letter received from him this day, I find you are willing to employ him on my recommendation; and it is with the greatest pieasure that I comply with this request. His behaviour, while with me, was strictly honest, sober and diligent, and I doubt not but it will be the same with you. I have sent this enclosed in one to himself, and if you employ him I hope he will give satisfaction.
I am, Sir, your humble servant.
The Answer. Sir,
I RECEIVED your obliging letter in recommendation of the young man, and in consequence of that have taken him into my family. I doubt not from what you say, of his giving satisfaction, and you may be assured of his being treated with humanity, and rewarded according to his merit.
I am your humble servant.
An Urgent Demand of Payment. Mr. Thompson,
THE exigence of my affairs, compels me thus importunately, nay peremptorily, to write to you. Can you think it possible to carry on business in the manner you act by me? You know what promises you have made, and how from time to time, you have broken them. Can I therefore depend upon any new ones you make ? If you use others as you do me, how can you tkink of carrying on business? If you do not, what must I think of the man, who deals worse by me than he does by others ? If you think you can trespass more upon me than you can on others, that is a very bad compliment to my prudence, or your own gratitude ; for surely good usage should be entitled to the same return. I know how to allow for disappointments as well as any man; but, can a man be disappointed for ever? Trade is so dependent a thing, that it cannot be carried on without mutual punctuality. Does not the merchant expect it from me for those very goods I send you? And can I make a return to him without receiving it from you? What end can it answer to give you two years' credit, and then be at an uncertainty, for goods which I sell at a small profit, and have only six months credit for myself ?-Indeed, Sir, this will never do; I must be more punctually used by you, or else deal with as little punctuality with others : And then what must be the consequence ? In short, Sir, I expect a handsome payment by the next post, and security for the remainder ; as I am unwilling to take any harsh measures, to procure justice to myself, my family, and my creditors. For I am, if it be not your own fault,
Your faithful friend and servant.
I ACKNOWLEDGE with gratitude the lenity you have at all times shewn, and my being obliged to disappoint you so often has given me much uneasiness. I do assure you Sir, that I am not so ungrateful as my conduct has given you reason to believe.
From the state of my accounts, you will find that the greatest part of my property is in the hands of country dealers, who, although they seldom fail, yet their times of payment are very precarious and uncertain. However, to convince you of my integrity, I have sent by this day's post an order for 200 dollars, and next week you shall receive one much larger. The remainder shall be sent in a short time. I am determined for the future, to make the rules laid down in your excellent letter a guide, in my dealings with those people, whose delays in the
making good their payments to me, obliged me to disappoint you ; and to convince you further of my integrity, the goods which I order, until the old account be paid off, shall be for ready money. I doubt not but you will continue to treat me with the same good usage as formerly, and believe me to be unfeignedly,
Your obliged humble servant.
LETTER VIII. From a Young Person in trade, to a Wholesale Dealer, who
had suddenly made a demand on him. Sir,
YOUR demand coming very unexpectedly, I must confess I am not prepared to answer it. I know the stated credit on this article used to be only four months; but as it has been a custom to allow a moderate time beyond this, and as this is only the day of the old time, I had not yet prepared myself. Sir, I beg you will not suppose it is any deficiency more than for the present, that occasions my desiring a little time of you : and I shall not ask any more than is usual among the trade. If you will be pleased to let your servant call for one half of the sum this day three weeks, and the remainder a fortnight afterwards, it shall be ready. However, in the mean time, I beg of you not to let any word slip of this, because a very little hurts a young beginner. Sir, you may take my word with the greatest safety, that I
you as I have mentioned ; and if you have any particular cause for insisting on it sooner, be pleased to let me know that I must pay it, and I will endeavour to borrow the money; for if I want credit with you, I cannot suppose that I have lost it with every one else, not knowing what it is that can have given you these distrustful thoughts concerning
Your humble servant.
LETTER IX. From a Tradesman to a Correspondent, requesting the pay
ment of a sum of money. Sir,
A VERY unexpected demand has been made on me for money, which I was in hopes of keeping longer in my trade, obliges me to apply for your assistance of the balance of the account between us, or as much of it as you can spare. When I have an opportunity to inform you of the nature of this demand, and the necessity of my discharging it, you will readily excuse the freedom I now take with you; and as it is an affair of such
family, I know the friendship you bear me will induce you to serve me effectually, I am, Sir,
Your most obedient servant, &c.
The Answer. Sir,
IT gives me singular satisfaction that I have it in my power to answer your demand, and am able to serve a man I so much esteem. The balance of the account is four hundred dollars; for half of which I have procured two bank notes, and for security divided them, and sent one half by the return of the post, as you desired, and have here enclosed the other. Wishing that you may surmount this, and every other difficulty, I am Sir,
LETTER XI. From a Young Person just out of his Apprenticeship, to a
Relation, requesting the loan of a sum of Money. Dear Sir,
I CAN remember nothing but kindness from you to our unhappy family ever since my infancy; and I flatter myself that I have not been guilty of any thing that ought to exclude me in particular from your favour, provided you retain the same kind thoughts towards me.
I have at present before me the prospect of either being a journeyman for a small salary, and just getting bread, or that of being a master in a very advantageous trade; and this is the time of fixing myself in one of these situations. I am sensible, Sir, you will see the design of this letter, because the becoming a master cannot be done without money, and I have no where to apply for such assistance but to your favour.--A moderate suni, Sir, will answer the purpose ; and I think I am so well acquainted with the


BOCA RATON, Fla. - A Boca Raton family hopes the sport their sister loved will help solve her murder. Cindy Moffett was shot and killed while working at a golf pro shop six years ago.
Moffett's siblings put on the tournament every year to shed light on the murder. Moffett was shot and killed while working at Forest Oaks Golf Club on March 23, 2006. Investigators believe it happened in the course of a robbery. No suspects have ever been named, and leads have gone cold.
"There's so much pain in the family, it never settles or settles well. We'd love for those responsible to be brought in and for justice to be served," says Randy Moffett, Cindy's brother.
The Moffetts hope that reminding the community of Cindy's death could stir someone's memory.
"I know it's a little ways to go back (in time), but people do remember something out of the ordinary they saw or something they heard," says Randy Moffett.
Close to 100 golfers came out to support the family. Money raised from the tournament and a raffle will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach County.


Fastest woman in Belize hosting 5th annual Track and Field games
Belize’s most decorated female sprinter, Kaina Martinez, an 11-time All-American track athlete, 2-time NCAA Champion, Olympian, and Central American and Belize record holder for the 100-meter event, is hosting her 5th annual Kaina Martinez Track and Field games in July in the beautiful coastal village of Seine Bight in Stann Creek, Belize.
Martinez, who currently attends Texas A&M University, has been hard at work on her education and developing her stellar skills on the track. She recently made a pair of top finishes in the women’s 100-meter and 200-meter dash events at the 2017 NCAA outdoor track and field championships at IMG Academy in Florida, USA. But beyond the accolades and recognition for her personal accomplishments, Martinez hosts the annual event in her hometown of Seine Bight in an effort to bring about positive change.

“Cognizant of the multitude of challenges facing my beloved community on a daily basis, I developed a focus to use sports as a catalyst to motivate the young and to nurture their minds, so that I could help build strong individuals who are willing to work hard – just like me – despite life’s limitations,” Martinez said as she explained her passion for the annual tournament.
The annual Kaina Martinez Track and Field games targets children ages 4 to 14 years old and is held at the football field in Seine Bight. It will be held from July 22-23. Children from nearby Placencia and surrounding villages on the peninsula are also welcome to participate in the event.
But to make the event a supreme success, Martinez is asking for community assistance in raising funds: “I have always been proud of my ability to be an integral part of this event – from organizing, coordinating, coaching and even fundraising. It can be exhausting! I have always contributed money from my modest paycheck and receive small contributions from family and friends. However, to make this event accessible to all our Peninsula children and make it truly successful for them, I am humbly requesting your assistance to join me in the fund-raising process.”
Martinez has prepared a budget for the event is seeking assistance in reviewing and widening the effort to, as she describes it, “transform these children into great assets for Belize and the world.” Anyone willing to make a contribution can contact the fastest woman in Belize at email: firstname.lastname@example.org.

In a bizarre move the Chinese authorities are censoring television programmes about time travel.
It seems the Chinese government doesn’t like the way history is often depicted in these shows.
The government clearly wants the creators of these shows to work for the government. The ministry of truth is desperate for people with the creativity required to change history.
For example how do you explain the disappearance of artist Ai Weiwei?
Perhaps the descendents of sunflowers travelled millions of years back in time to kidnap the creator of their equivalent of the Dead Sea Scrolls. He might find Van Gough under similar duress.
And what about Monkey Magic? Arguably the best Chinese export ever.
A Chinese government official is reported by the guardian as saying: “Many stories are totally made up and are made to strain for an effect of novelty. The producers and writers are treating serious history in a frivolous way, which should by no means be encouraged any longer.”
So thankfully Monkey Magic should be safe.

It might come as a shock but wedding bands are big business. They may not get the love from bloggers and websites that engagement rings do, but they are pretty darn important. After all, these are the rings you will exchange and receive, that seal the deal of you becoming husband and wife. Most people want something a little special.
There are of course the traditionalists who want a simple white or yellow gold band, and then there are the trendsetters who want something unique, maybe with a bit of quirk.
I never like to leave anyone out. So here are 10 styles hand picked, just for you, my lovely readers. Happy Shopping.
Set in 14k yellow gold with 5 round brilliant cut diamonds, it’s hard not to say I do to this classic and timeless beauty.
2.Traditional with a Twist
This antique art deco ring features beautiful engraving work, done in 18k gold. It’s a little bit edgy but still has all the makings of a classic and timeless piece.
For the thoroughly modern bride this flush set white gold and diamond band, may be just what her heart desires.
4. Modern Romance
Rose gold is so of the moment, but it also has a timeless beauty, that even if it goes out of vogue tomorrow, you’ll still love every time you see it against your skin. This romantic diamond beauty is sure to have her heart beating a little faster. Best part, customizable stones. Not a diamond lover? You can choose from 23 stones to get a customized look that you will love for eternity. Now that’s what I call options.
5. Antique Romance 1
Sapphires and diamonds go together like pb&j; a match in perfect harmony. This Edwardian beauty, is sure to elicit lots of oohs and aahs from whoever sees it.
6. Antique Romance 2
I found two magnificent sapphire and diamond bands, and I couldn’t just include one, so I included both. This French stunner features vibrant oval sapphires and white round brilliant diamonds. It could also serve as an engagement ring for a bride who doesn’t want a diamond.
7. Trend 1: Stackable
2015 has lots of trends when it comes to bridal jewelry. One that I am a big fan of is the stackable ring look. After all, why have one, when you can have three? A girl can never have enough bling. Some of you may see the price on this piece and not consider it affordable. It’s definitely more expensive than most of the other rings featured here. I found cheaper options, but I really wasn’t comfortable with the quality. I also realized that when you split these up and price them individually they come out per ring to around the same price as many of the rings above, with that in mind I felt that these still qualified as affordable.
8. Trend 2: Color
Color is a great way to show off your personality, add some pop to your wedding ring, and it’s also a more affordable option when you leave out the diamonds. I love the fresh, modern take of this blue topaz, and london blue topaz 14k yellow gold, geometric band. You can customize the stones, but some stones like sapphires and rubies will bring the price up significantly.
9. Trend 3: Mixed Metals
I love the vintage vibe, which is super popular right now, and how the metals mix. I’m also a fan of the slightly satiny finish, it gives this ring a perfect old meets new look.
10. Trend 4: Curved Band
Halos have been all the rage for quite some time now. Because of the halo, they dont always lend themselves to being worn with traditional bands. Enter the curved band. The unique curve design allows the rings to lay flush, but often depending on your ring, you may need a custom setting. The curved band also looks great with a non halo ring, and gives a unique look.
Here’s to lots of happy occasions. Comment below and tell me which would you choose? I love hearing your feedback.


Honor, respect tinged with a bit of sadness was on display for the 18th annual Audie Murphy Day festivities.
Held Saturday, June 17, Audie Murphy Day kicked off with a breakfast and time for veterans to share memories and conversation at the First Baptist Church of Farmersville.
Excitement flooded the air as members of the Sergeant Audie Murphy Club arrived from Fort Hood.
The club, founded in 1986 at Fort Hood, embodies the following principals including supporting the soldier, their families and the greater Fort Hood community, preserving the spirit of fellowship among former, present and future members and fostering confidence between superior and subordinates by teaching loyalty, discipline, professionalism and caring.
After breakfast, veterans moved to ride in the parade, which was held in downtown Farmersville.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte Bobcats have sent center Alexis Ajinca to the Maine Red Claws of the NBA Development League.
The 7-foot Ajinca has failed to earn a spot in coach Larry Brown’s rotation, and Brown wanted the 2008 first-round pick to get some playing time.
Ajinca has appeared in only six of 16 games for a total of 30 minutes and is averaging 1.7 points and 0.7 rebounds. Ajinca is expected to make his debut with the Red Claws on Friday.
Last Saturday, the Red Claws won their first game ever as a franchise, with a 107-97 victory over the Dakota Wizards in Bismarck.
The move Monday leaves the Bobcats with 13 players on their active roster. Charlotte has won four straight games and hosts Boston Tuesday.

For many high credit score borrowers, personal unsecured loan interests hover around 6 to 7 percent. You do not have to have collateral. Different from a a house or ownership loan, where it is collateralized through the house, most personal loans can be unsecured. That is truly attractive to borrowers whom possess zilch things to put up as a gurantee.

There are currently no suitable countermeasures that exist for RCBIs. We evaluated 2-0, 3-0 desulfated heparin (ODSH), an anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant agent as a potential countermeasure to RCBI. Female B6D2F1/J mice (12-week) were subjected to 9.5 Gy (LD70/30 for RCBI) whole-body bilateral 60Co gamma-photon radiation (0.4 Gy/min), followed by dorsal skin burn injury under anesthesia (∼15% total-body-surface area burn).

text: The diagnosis and management of lower abdominal pain is difficult, particularly for the inexperienced accident and emergency (A&E) or surgical trainee. In women, potential gynaecological causes may further confuse the picture. We analysed the incidence, spectrum of presentation and immediate management of 322 women presenting consecutively to an inner city A&E department over a 6-month period with lower abdominal pain. A standard questionnaire relating to history, examination, immediate investigations and preliminary diagnosis was completed by the attending A&E doctor. The cause of abdominal pain, according to the A&E doctor's diagnosis, was gynaecological in 61%, gastroenterological in 23%, urological in 7% and non-specific in 9% of cases. Of the women, 39% (124/322) were referred to a duty specialist, of whom 86% (107/124) required admission for investigation and/or treatment. Women initially diagnosed as having pain of gynaecological origin formed the largest group of patients to be referred. In 69% (67/97) of these cases, the A&E doctor's initial diagnosis was confirmed by the gynaecologist. This study shows that pain of gynaecological origin was the largest single cause of lower abdominal pain in women presenting to our A&E department and that, in the majority of cases, these women needed to be referred to the duty gynaecologist for immediate treatment. Although overall diagnostic accuracy rate was relatively high, the management of potentially life-threatening gynaecological conditions such as ectopic pregnancy was poor. These results emphasise the need to improve in-service gynaecological training in A&E departments.

William Knox Schroeder
|Born||July 20, 1950|
Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.
|Died||May 4, 1970 (aged 19)|
Kent, Ohio, U.S.
|Cause of death||Homicide (gunshot wounds)|
|Service/||United States Army|
Schroeder was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, the son of Florence Ella (Endebrock) and Louis Arthur Schroeder. He had an older sister, Nancy, and a younger brother, Rudy. Schroeder moved with his family to Lorain, Ohio, when he was in elementary school and graduated from Lorain High School where he was an honors student and an outstanding athlete. Already an Eagle Scout, at age 17 Schroeder applied for the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) Scholarship. He received the Academic Achievement award from both the Colorado School of Mines and from Kent State University, where he was a psychology student. He also earned the Association of the United States Army award for excellence in history.
Schroeder was killed by a single shot in the chest from an M-1 Garand battle rifle. According to reports, he was not taking part in the Vietnam War protests that preceded the shootings, but simply walking between classes. He, along with Sandra Scheuer, was caught in the gunfire. His college roommate, Lou Cusella, stated that he believed Schroeder was trying to flee when shot. "Bill was 332 feet away from the nearest National Guardsman, not much of a threat. He was shot with a folder in his hand." Official reports stated that Schroeder was actually 382 feet from the National Guard at the time he was shot, while lying on the ground facing away from the Guardsmen. The bullet entered his left chest at the seventh rib, piercing his left lung, and some fragments exited from the top of his left shoulder. He died almost an hour later while in a hospital undergoing surgery. Sandra Scheuer was shot in the neck and also died. Two other students were killed in the shootings: Allison Krause and Jeffrey Miller.
The shootings led to protests and a national student strike, causing hundreds of campuses to close because of both violent and non-violent demonstrations. The Kent State campus remained closed for six weeks. Five days after the shootings, 100,000 people demonstrated in Washington, D.C. against the war.
The personal writings and effects of William Schroeder, as well as supporting material about his life, are on display in a special section at the May 4 visitor's center at Kent State University as of summer 2019.

LOWER EAST SIDE — A convicted felon attacked his 54-year-old neighbor after they got into an argument inside a Stanton Street apartment last week, police said.
William Bailey, Jr., 37, struck his neighbor in the face with a mop bucket on Oct. 21 at 8:40 p.m., causing lacerations, swelling and redness, police said. He then fled the location, according to the NYPD.7
Prosecutors said Bailey was charged with assault. His bail was set at $5,000 bond or $3,000 cash.
His attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
According to state records, Bailey was sentenced to five years in prison with a five-year parole after he was convicted of attempted murder and robbery in 2003.
Prosecutors said Bailey robbed a man on July 4, 1999 in Jamaica, Queens, while another person held the victim and his companions at gunpoint. After taking the man’s cash, prosecutors said, Bailey moved on to another person in the group but the victim jumped up and was shot in the chest by Bailey’s companion.
Bailey was conditionally released in October 2005, but went back to jail five years later for a parole violation, according to the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. He completed his sentence in July 2011, according to a DOCCS spokeswoman.
Other recent crimes in the 7th Precinct include:
► A robbery victim wouldn’t let her cellphone go without a fight, police said.
The woman, 40, was texting in front of the Baruch Houses at 60 Columbia St. at 6:57 p.m. on Wednesday when a 20-year-old woman came up to her and grabbed the phone, according to the NYPD.
The robber tried to pull the phone away, but the woman resisted, engaging the thief in a brief tug-of-war over the Motorola phone, which had a cracked screen, police said.
The younger woman eventually ripped the phone loose, leading the victim to grab the thief's hoodie in a final attempt to get it back, according to the NYPD.
However, the 20-year-old slipped away and fled northbound on Columbia Street, police said.
Police described the thief as standing 5-foot-7 and wearing her blonde hair in a pony tail.
► A thief stole nearly $500 worth of property after a woman forgot her diaper bag in a Delancey Street Dunkin' Donuts police said.
The woman, 38, entered the shop at about 3:36 p.m. on Oct. 25 to order food and placed the $70 bag on the floor, police said. It contained an iPad mini, pink baby shoes and her wallet, which had credit cards, gift cards and her social security card, according to the NYPD.
Dunkin' Donuts declined to comment.

Amanda Forsythe soprano, Apollo’s Fire, Jeannette Sorrell
Music from Alcina, Almira, Ariodante, Giulio Cesare, Orlando, Partenope, Rinaldo, Terpsichore, Teseo & Xerxes
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]his is a thoroughly enjoyable disc. Amanda Forsythe has a bright, agile and flexible soprano, at home equally in the passionate music for Almira or Armida (Rinaldo), the dramatic depths and heights of Cleopatra (Giulio Cesare) and the teasing cynicism of Atalanta (Serse). She displays formidable technique, for example in the precise semiquaver runs in the B section of ‘Piangero’ and also in the remarkable range of vocal colour she brings to Agilea’s deceptively simple continuo-accompanied ‘Amarti si vorrei’ which (as so often with Handel) packs an overwhelming emotional punch.
Apollo’s Fire, under the able baton of Jeannette Sorrell, provide exquisitely-judged orchestral support; they are allowed to shine in their own right in the rarely-heard ballet music from Terpsichore, added as a prologue to the 1734 revival of Il Pastor Fido. I particularly enjoyed the luscious orchestration of the Air (track 10), with flutes and pizzicato bass, and the kaleidoscopic Chaconne.
One’s only minor caveat, faced with music-making of this superb quality, is that the programme is so wide-ranging – it would have been even more impressive to have concentrated on the roles for one or two of Handel’s top sopranos, or even to have heard Terpsichore in full; Handel in context is nearly always even more satisfying than Handel in chunks. And perhaps then one would also have the pleasure of anticipating further similar issues!

Our organic blueberries can be found in many local farm shops in Sussex and Surrey and we also supply several wholesalers and organic veg-box schemes (including Greener Greens).
We also have logs for sale, and mixed seasoned hard woods - supplied in 1t bags.
Organic Certification and Wildlife Policy
Our blueberry farm has been certified organic by the Soil Association and fully meets their strict Organic Standard and tracability code. The fruit is lab tested before each harvest for microbiology and harmful bacteria, under the guide lines and recommendations of the NSF protocol.
Our blueberry farm
The management of habitat around the fields now encourages many wild flora and fauna. To name a few, dormice, grass snakes, slow worms, adders, stoats and weasels, buzzards and owls. Kingfishers have been seen around the lake ajoining the field. The lake also supports moorhens, fish, dragonflies etc. Biannual thinning and coppicing of the adjacent woodland has encouraged flora and shrubs such as bluebells, narcissi and snowdrops, buddleia and elder. We have recently received a forestry commission grant for coppicing regeneration. These photos show a just a few of the flora and fauna on the farm.
Please note, our blueberry farm is not open to the public as we only supply to local farm shops, organic and non organic wholesalers and other commercial enterprises.
Logs for sale, mixed seasoned hard woods, supplied in 1t bags.

2 Bulwarks of mighty grace defend
The city where we dwell;
Defy the assaults of hell.
The doors wide open fling;
The statutes of our King.
And live in perfect peace,
And ventured on his grace.
And banish all your fears;
Eternal as his years.
WATTS. The Benefit of Ordinances. 1 AWAY from every mortal care,
Away from earth, our souls retreat ; We leave this worthless world afar,
And wait and worship near thy seat. 2 Lord, in the temple of thy grace
We see thy feet, and we adore ; We gaze upon thy lovely face,
And learn the wonders of thy power. 3 If Satan rage, and sin grow strong,
Here we receive some cheering word ; We gird the gospel armor on
To fight the battles of the Lord.
4 Or, if our spirit faints and dies,
Our conscience galled with inward stings, Here doth the righteous Sun arise,
With healing beams beneath his wings.
TATE & BRADY. Public Worship. Ps. 65. 1 FOR thee, O God, our constant praise
In Zion waits, thy chosen seat; Our promised altars there we'll raise,
And all our zealous vows complete. 2 O thou who to my humble prayer
Didst always bend thy listening ear, To thee shall all mankind repair,
And at thy gracious throne appear. 3 Our sins, though numberless, in vain
To stop thy flowing mercy try, Whilst thou o’erlook'st the guilty stain,
And washest out the crimson dye. 4 Blest is the man, who, near thee placed,
Within thy sacred dwelling lives; Whilst we, at humbler distance, taste
The vast delights thy temple gives.
O Lord of hosts, thy dwellings are !
2 God is our Sun; he makes our day;
God is our Shield; he guards our way
From foes without and foes within. 3 All needful grace will God bestow,
And crown that grace with glory too,
No real good from upright souls.
Within the temple of thy grace ;
And seek thy face, and learn thy praise. 5 Blest are the men whose hearts are set
To find the way to Zion's gate;
They lean upon their Helper, God. 6 Cheerful they walk with growing strength,
Till all shall meet in heaven at length;
J. TAYLOR. Acceptable Worship. 1 O, HOW delightful is the road
That leads us to thy temple, Lord !
And seek the treasures of thy word. 2 O heavenly treasures! glorious light!
From ancient sages long concealed,
3 For thee, O Lord, our thoughts prepare
The sacrifice thy love demands — A soul repentant and sincere,
A grateful heart, and liberal hands.
This joy - to call thee mine ;
To taste thy love divine.
I long to find my place,
And feel thy quickening grace.
No relish can afford ;
To serve and please the Lord.
And praise thee while I live;
Such food or pleasure give.
To thee my spirit flies,
My cheerful hope relies.
My soul in safety keeps;
And he supports my steps.
TATE & BRADY. Public Worship. Ps. 95. 1 0, COME, loud anthems let us sing,
Loud thanks to our almighty King ;
When our salvation's Rock we praise. 2 Into his presence let us haste,
To thank him for his favors past;
The praise that to his name belongs.
Is with unrivalled glory great-
Whom by his title God we call.
Her secret wealth at his command ;
Subjected to his empire lies.
By the same sovereign right is his;
6 0, let us to his courts repair,
And bow with adoration there ;
