There are many obstacles for railway undertakings in implementing the Automatic Train Operation (ATO). One of them is extreme weather that complicates the operations of the locomotives and trains, even those with drivers. To tackle this issue, Russian technology company Cognitive Pilot has developed a specialised type of sensors. It allows self-driving shunting locomotives to efficiently and steadily run during snow or rain.
Expert column by American journalist Dan Krammett about Cognitive Agro Pilot system and new harvest season in Russia.
According to a Global Market Insights, Inc. report., the precision farming market is poised to rise from today’s USD4 bln to USD12 bln by 2025. Precision farming in Russia is in its infancy and is expected to boom in the next three to four years to be worth some RUB15–20 bln, analysts say.
Digital Agro (a subsidiary of Uralchem), Agrosignal and Cognitive Pilot (an autonomous driving technology joint venture of Sberbank and Cognitive Technologies Group) have formed a strategic partnership to collaborate on a single agricultural ecosystem to accelerate the digitalization of Russian farming.

I have to internally thread a brass tube. I will then fit a cap to this tube,the cap will have an external thread, and will screw into the brass tube.
Is there an easy formula to turn the diameters of the tube and the cap so that when threaded they will fit perfectly.
I am cutting 24tpi Whitworth.

Much depends on the relevant dimensions of the tube, will the wall thickness contain a 24 tpi Whitworth thread without breaking through for example?
By perfect fit, do you expect it to be oil or pressure tight? I think a bit more information will help us to help you.

The theoretical thread depth for the Whitworth thread form is 0.64032738p, where p is the thread pitch. So start with whatever is the ID of the tube and cut the internal thread to the calculated depth. Then start with the OD of the plug at the ID of the tube plus twice the thread depth. Cut the external thread, using the tube as a gauge during the final cuts.
That's the theory, the practise is rather messier. For a start 24tpi isn't a standard Whitworth pitch, so it's unlikely you'll be able to buy inserts. So that'll mean grinding ones own tools. Inevitably that'll mean that the crest and root radii won't be precise. So the threads won't be perfect. If the OP is expecting the threads to be gas/liquid tight without sealant, dream on! For that you'd need to be using BSPT threads.
Yes, I know 3/16" and 7/32" Whitworth are 24tpi, but they're not in the original standard

Based on my experience with thread milling, one possibility for the internal thread at least would be to use a 24 TPI tap of significantly smaller diameter than the ID you are threading and grind off all but one of the "flutes" and grind the point back until it is square. Then mount in the toolpost with the cutting edge of the remaining teeth at centre height.

Thankyou for the replies. (Brian Wood), the brass tube is 3/16" thick,so should be OK for thread cutting, The cap is solid. The fit does not have to be pressure or liquid tight,but a good enough fit not to unscrew with vibration.
(Andrew Johnston), I was intending to use 55degree thread cutting inserts (from RDG) as I assumed that is the Whitworth requirement. Obviously incorrect,can you please advise further. I chose the 24tpi from the chart attached to my old S.B. lathe as it seemed fine enough to stop the cap unscrewing with vibration. Your corrected advice will be most welcome. Thankyou.

I'd proceed exactly as described by Andrew except I'd dump the Whitworth form. Unless of course what you're making has to be authentic and Inspector Meticulous is on the case!
Noting that 24tpi is close to M1.0, and guessing that the important thing is that the two made parts fit together rather than having to conform with genuine Whitworth threaded items, I'd substitute a metric thread-form tip. Apart from standardisation, there's no particular reason why one shouldn't cut a metric form thread at 24tpi to match a plug in an odd diameter tube.
By using the internal thread as a gauge, you can cut down towards the plug's theoretical dimensions and deliberately leave the thread slightly oversized to make it a tight fit. Assuming tight is what you mean by 'perfect'.

Many moons ago I had a South Bend 13" lathe. As far as I can remember the threading chart on that lathe which was post 1948 was for UNC & UNF threads not Whitworth.
24tpi is a standard for number 10 & 12 UNC also 5/16" & 3/8" UNF. Probably some others I cannot remember.
I stand to be corrected as my memory is not as good as it used to be.

I think Dave's [S.O.D.] suggestion is a good one, the two items are to fit together and if they do that to your satisfaction then the thread angle chosen doesn't matter in the least.
Proceed as he suggests

What I should have said is that you won't be able to get a full form insert for 24tpi Whitworth, ie, one that correctly forms the root and crest radii for a given tpi. The partial form insert from RDG will form the correct flank angle, but it won't form the crest radius, and the root radius will be too small. That leads to problems with depth of cut; since the radius is too small you need to cut a bit deeper to get the flanks correct. Of course for a one off it doesn't matter, although it it means both internal and external threads are a bit hit 'n' miss. Since the threads will be incorrect at root and crest they can't be called perfect, and will not seal properly.

SOD won't using a 1.0mm pitch full form metric cutter leave overlength crests and valleys when used at 24tpi and if you go to partial form you are left with fiddling about to get the right DOC.
Also 24tpi is not the same thing or even close to M1, on the other hand it may be close -ish to 1.0mm pitch

Roger, as the components are made of brass and you want a shallow fine thread why not use BSB threads, 26tpi, designed years ago for this sort of job. this is close to your 24tpi, and you can get taps and dies cheaply in 1/16" diameter increments. Just the job for lubricators which is what it seems like you are making.
23039 forum posts
If you want to stick with 24tpi and keep the maths simple then get a 24UN full form insert.
That is 60deg not 55deg but you will be able to look up the DOC for a 10-24UNC and apply that to your pipe/plug whatever diameter that may be.

Why not grind a tool from a bit of HSS. Make the plug first and use it as a gauge. I've done it loads of times so it can't be difficult.

I am making a float chamber for a 1919 (unknown make) carburettor. My tube is 1 3/4" od and 1 3/8 id.. The cap is solid. The tube must remain at 1 3/4" od in order to fit in the base plate the joins the float chamber to the main body of the carb. The thread measurement of the internal thread appears to be 24tpi Whit (I have a Starret Whit thread gauge). My SB 9" lathe was made in 1939 and imported by Pidgen Bros (London). I had assumed (obviously incorrectly) that the chart attached to the lathe was Whitworth as it showed the change wheel settings for 24tpi,but I suppose it could be any 24tpi thread form. The float chamber I have (in a very sorry state of repair) has a thickness of 1/16 ",hence my query. Can I form a 24tpi thread in a 1/16 wall and then what external diam do I need the cap to be before cutting the thread on this.
If the SB chart is not specific to Whitworth,but with the correct change wheels form a thread with either 60degrees or 55 degrees (depending upon the insert) of 24tpi, does it really matter,providing the same tool is used both for cap and tube.

The thread form will not matter at all, obviously the same thread angle would be preferable on both male/female parts. Theoretical full thread depth for any diameter 24 tpi BSW is .0267".

I seem to remember that Sparey covered all that ground in his book,years ago. Yes,I know he,s regarded as "Old Hat" these days,but there,s still a great deal of information [and in simple terms ] to be found there. Always worth a read.
I think your question has been answered,and explained,in that book.
As others have said,what difference does it make what thread you use,provided it,s the same on both parts.
Remember that with tubing,the wall thickness plays a big part when it comes to threading !

Without the need to get on a flight across the globe, the Drew community was invited to attend A Night in Asia last Friday. The expert planning of the Asian Student Union and several other clubs, in collaboration with Drew Night Life, made it hard to believe that students were still on Drew’s campus.
Drew students eager to experience all the cultural offerings of the largest continent in the world flocked to the event in droves, creating a winding line inside the Ehinger Center. Students were excited about watching cultural performances, eating cultural foods and winning prizes.
The beginning of the night featured a series of performances by both students and non-students alike. The various performers—some dancers, some musicians—explained the cultural background of their acts to the audience, allowing for both an educational and entertaining experience. Singing, dancing and instrumentation from the pipa and piano accordion were all featured; all were amazing insights into what life is like in the various countries represented.
Visitors in The Space lined up for a culinary trip around the eastern continent, indulging in a buffet of Asian cuisines and cultural dishes with boba as the night’s highlight.
Students that were not enjoying the delicacies participated in traditional Asian games and activities, such as Chinese checkers, Jianzi and origami.
At the end of the night, there was also a game of team Jeopardy focused on Asian culture in Crawford Hall. The categories ranged from familiar topics like history to more niche ones like Bollywood. The winners of the intensely fought Jeopardy game, including Laya Ranganathan (‘26), won prizes like stickers and fidget toys.
“I think [this event is] important for people away from home,” Ranganathan said. “I spent most of my life in India. This helps me feel less homesick. Especially the clothing, the food, the smells—I’m vibing!”
Fellow event attendee Dee Cohen (‘26), who was also on the winning Jeopardy team, agreed: “I think it’s important to have events like this that can bring people from such widely diverse backgrounds and cultures together to celebrate their uniqueness. I really appreciate the attention they put towards making this event inclusive and fun for everyone. I’m really looking forward to more events like it.”
This event was made possible thanks to the collaboration of the Asian Student Union, the South Asian Student Association, the International Student Association, Drew’s Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Drew Night Life. Look out for more cultural events from any of these groups.

Biological and chemical terrorism: Questions and answers with links to informative resources
Originally Published: November 9, 2001 - Last Updated / Reviewed On: May 31, 2012
As fallout from the post-September 11th anthrax mailings and government warnings about the likelihood of future terrorist attacks continue, questions about biological and chemical threats and how to protect against them keep pouring in. Since much has already been written and spoken about these topics — especially over the past couple of months — the answers below are brief, with links to other Web sites that go into much greater detail about the issues raised in the questions below. Many of the resources included at the end of this Q&A are frequently updated as the situation changes and more is learned about possible biochemical threats. Visiting these sites over the next weeks may help you to keep informed with up-to-date info.
Lately, I have been hearing about Anthrax. What exactly is this and how dangerous can it be?
curious about anthrax
Can anthrax be transmitted from person to person?
With the recent outbreak, I was wondering if you could give me some information on the inhalation type anthrax. What exactly happens? What can they do for the person?
Dear curious about anthrax and Readers #2 and 3,
Anthrax has existed for centuries; it is a bacterium that causes disease in animals, and less frequently, in humans. Anthrax cannot be passed from person to person. People have traditionally gotten it through physical contact with infected animals and the hides or wool of those animals — this is the cutaneous form of anthrax. Anthrax can also be contracted through the gastrointestinal tract by way of infected, undercooked meat , and via the air by inhaling the spores of the bacterium (inhalation or pulmonary anthrax). All three types can be treated with antibiotics. Cutaneous anthrax is rarely fatal and most infected persons can expect a complete recovery. Inhalation anthrax is the most serious form of the disease, and if not treated early, can often be fatal. Early symptoms of inhalation anthrax resemble influenza (the flu). Soon after infection, a high fever sets in and the patient develops respiratory distress and a bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes.
Can you tell me more about anthrax and the vaccine and cure for it and also if the bacteria can live in cold climates?
There is a vaccine for anthrax, but it is not presently available to the general public. Those with possible occupational exposure — such as veterinarians — can receive the vaccine, as have many U.S. military personnel.
There have been stories in the news about people hoarding antibiotics in case of an anthrax attack. The antibiotics used to treat anthrax are available only through prescription, so it would be difficult to stockpile the appropriate medication. Health professionals caution against the unnecessary use of antibiotics, including ciprofloxacin (Cipro). We are already seeing drug-resistant strains of various illnesses that result from the misuse and overuse of antibiotics. Furthermore, antibiotics, similar to other medicines, have side effects that could cause serious complications in some people.
Cipro and other antibiotics may prove useless if an attack were to involve laboratory-altered, drug-resistant strains of the bacteria. Some strains of anthrax are resistant to specific antibiotics, but not to others. It is essential to be examined by a health care provider if you suspect you were exposed to anthrax instead of attempting to medicate yourself.
While it is known that anthrax spores prefer warmer temperatures, there is no indication that colder climates are in any way "safe" from an anthrax attack.
What kind of gas mask best protects against anthrax attacks? Is it neurotic to want to carry a mask with me after recent events at the WTC (I ride the subway to and from campus every day)?
Thanks for finding me information about these very unpleasant topics.
Your concerns are understandable given the anxiety and fear many people have been feeling since September 11, 2001. Nonstop media coverage of this topic — some of it sensational — no doubt contributes to the unease, as well.
While some people may feel safer carrying a gas mask, it probably won't do them any good. According to one British expert quoted in New Scientist magazine, you would have to buy the right type of gas mask that's been fitted properly for wear. And due to the element of surprise that's inherent in almost every terrorist event, you'd have to wear it constantly to have any protection. However, serious injury or death by accidental suffocation can result from improper use of a gas mask.
People buying gas masks often do not know how old the masks are. In addition to the age, the buyer needs to know what the mask has been used for and where it is from. The filters and activated carbon disks, which filter out particles such as anthrax spores, need to be changed after use and deteriorate with time.
I am a graduate of Columbia College — thanks for this service. What are our options for being prepared for an attack of smallpox in NYC — I was vaccinated as a kid but understand that that vaccine is no longer effective and I would need a booster??? Do you have any pertinent information about what the average person can do to prevent falling prey to this disease?
You were probably administered one dose of the smallpox vaccine before routine vaccinations ceased in the United States over 25 years ago, as this was standard. There has never been a successful measurement of the length of immunity from the vaccine, but it is believed that the antibodies from one dose begin to decline substantially at 5 to 10 years after being administered. The few people who have received three doses may have up to 30 years of immunity.
Currently, a vaccine for smallpox is available, but only a limited supply and not yet to the general public. You have probably heard in the media about President Bush's decision to vaccinate military and public health workers who wish to receive the vaccine and then offer the smallpox vaccine to the general public in special clinics. The U.S. government has stressed that this is not due to any imminent threat of smallpox attack, but is a precautionary measure. This announcement has generated a good deal of controversy among health officials who warn about side effects of the vaccine and the great cost this measure will place on the public health system, to the detriment of more immediate problems.
This vaccine can cause significant discomfort and severe side effects in about 1 out of every 100,000 people who receive it, including a vaccinia rash, the outbreak of sores on the body, flu-like illness, swelling of lymph glands throughout the body, and fever. And although it is a rare event (about 14 - 52 out of 1 million according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), it is likely that some small percentage of those who get the vaccine will experience life-threatening complications, including accidental infection as a direct result of it, and death (1 - 2 out of 1 million). Certain people should not be vaccinated for smallpox unless directly exposed to the virus, including:
- persons with weakened immune systems (including HIV/AIDS)
- those undergoing cancer treatment
- people who have had organ transplants
- those with skin conditions, such as eczema (even if not active), psoriasis, shingles, herpes, burns, or chickenpox
- women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- children under one-year-old
- individuals with a current illness
This is the kind of information that public health officials must weigh when deciding how to approach mass vaccination of a given population.
When was the smallpox vaccine stopped?
I recently read that the WHO organization is considering resuming its smallpox vaccination program. After the recent cases of Anthrax, it seems very reasonable to do so, given the fact that smallpox is much more contagious and harder to treat then anthrax. Could you give some information on this matter? Would it be advisable for students to get vaccinated, and is it possible to do so through Columbia's health service? What are the risks of vaccination?
Dear Reader #7 and MA,
Routine vaccination stopped in this country in 1972, after a two-year period in which no smallpox was found among the American populace. With the world approaching the objective of total eradication of smallpox (all countries ended mass smallpox vaccination programs in the early 1980s on the recommendation of the World Health Organization), and considering the side effects that smallpox vaccination can have, the decision to discontinue vaccinating in the U.S. made sense at that time. The latest statement from the WHO reaffirms that search and containment of smallpox, not mass vaccination against it, is the best way to halt an outbreak of the disease.
Thus, the smallpox vaccine is not currently being administered to the general public at Columbia or anywhere else. Vaccination will be offered according to a new U.S. government initiative in public clinics sometime within the next two years.
In addition to the desire for more information about biological and chemical terrorism, many people may be dealing with feelings of anxiety, fear, and stress in the wake of these horrible events. Fears about what might happen next looks more at coping with these emotions.

After two years of livestreaming due to the pandemic, The Arlington Jazz Festival will return in person from April 7-10.
“We just went for it and we think it’s going to be successful,” founder and director Dan Fox said. “There are people that really want to come out and see live music.”
The festival began as a small one-day event hosting local bands. When Fox moved to Arlington in 2006, he noticed there wasn’t a jazz festival and couldn’t find a history of there ever being one.
“I thought it was a good idea to start one and the town seemed to support it, and it just grew slowly from there,” Fox said.
It later evolved into a community event for amateur musicians, students, and professionals. In 2017, it became a nonprofit organization. They started adding bigger concerts and stretched the festival to four days, with free and ticketed events.
Thursday night will showcase Jesse Williams Group at Menotomy Grill with no admission fee.
Friday and Saturday will be held at the Arlington Center for the Arts. Proof of vaccinations is required. Friday will feature El Eco with Guillermo Nojechowicz. The Morningside Music Studio will perform on Saturday, in addition to Tom Ferrante’s Saxafras and The Samba Jazz Project.
Sunday will be the main event, held at the Regent Theatre from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Proof of vaccination will be necessary. The event will feature Mark Walker’s World Jazz Ensemble featuring Randy Brecker.
“There’s so much talent to choose from as far as local musicians,” Fox said. “I could put on a six-month festival with a different band playing every day and it would be all high level. There are so many groups that deserve the chance to get exposure and be part of the festival.”

New cancer therapy and vaccine uses CRISPR to turn tumors into traitors
Scientists at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) have found a way to fight cancer with cancer. The team genetically engineered cancer cells to release anti-cancer drugs at the site of established tumors, as well as stimulating the immune system against the disease. Tests in mice proved promising as both a therapy and a preventative vaccine.
Cancer vaccines are an emerging area of research, where patients are often administered inactive tumor cells or proteins expressed at high levels by cancer cells. This trains the immune system to recognize existing tumors and mount an assault on them, and can prevent the spread or appearance of new tumors.
For the new study, the BWH team took a new approach, using living tumor cells instead. While it sounds like a bad idea to give cancer patients more cancer, these cells were engineered using CRISPR to become double agents. Cancer cells can travel long distances to return to the site of established tumors, and once there the engineered cells will unleash a payload of anti-cancer drugs and factors that alert the immune system to clear them out.
“Our team has pursued a simple idea: to take cancer cells and transform them into cancer killers and vaccines,” said Khalid Shah, corresponding author of the study. “Using gene engineering, we are repurposing cancer cells to develop a therapeutic that kills tumor cells and stimulates the immune system to both destroy primary tumors and prevent cancer.”
These therapeutic tumor cells (ThTCs) were tested in mice with advanced glioblastoma, and were found to eliminate the tumors in many of the animals, significantly increasing survival rates and providing long-term immunity against recurrent and metastatic cancer. The technique also appeared to be safe, thanks to a kill-switch that can be activated if needed to eradicate the ThTCs.
As promising as the results may be, the usual caveats apply – especially that animal studies don’t always translate to humans. The team plans to continue investigating ThTCs, including how they might be used in humans and how well they might work against other cancer types.
The research was published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

Doxazosin is also used in men to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia-BPH). It does not shrink the prostate, but it works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and part of the bladder. This helps to relieve symptoms of BPH such as difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream, and the need to urinate frequently or urgently (including during the middle of the night).Doxazosin belongs to a class of drugs known as alpha blockers
Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start taking doxazosin and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily.

One of my favorite programs is called, “The Profit” which airs on CNBC. In this show the CEO and multimillionaire Marcus Lemonis helps struggling entrepreneurs by injecting his expertise and own money to invest in these businesses and make them profitable.
One thing I hear in the show over and over is, “this business generated $4.2 Million last year but had a loss of $30,000”.
And that tells me that many, many entrepreneurs do not know the difference between generating revenue and cash and making a real profit in their business.
It isn’t the money you make, it’s the money you keep
How can a multi-million-dollar business post losses? Because having sales doesn’t mean you will have anything left after all of your liabilities. Just because they sold millions doesn’t mean there will be anything left over after they pay salaries and expenses and service any debt the business may hold. This is why I am so passionate about making sure your pricing, expenses, and offers are right to make and keep money. More profit means more growth, more impact, and more service.
Business revenue and cash
Sales generated for your products and services are revenue and the money you collect is business cash. If you receive ongoing payments for services or reorders, those are revenue that we can project for the month they are due. Basically, every dollar that comes into the business is business cash. The more you bring in every month, the more sales you are making. That is the first half of the equation.
The key is to have profit, that amount of money left over every month.
“Gross Profit” and “Net Profit”
Gross profit is the difference between your cost to create your offer, product or service and your retail price you sold it for. For example, your widget costs $7.00 to make for materials and labor, and you sell it for $15.00. Your gross profit is $8.00 per widget. This is the number many entrepreneurs rely on for pricing and for expenses. But it’s the wrong one.
What’s missing in this number is the amount of the “hidden” expenses, such as all of your operating expenses of rent and utilities, plus taxes.
Let’s say your operating expenses add an additional $2.00 to the cost of each widget, your net profit is really $6.00 each. That $6.00 is the one we want to know, and it is the one to work with when we look at growing the business.
Start by ensuring every product or service is profitable
Do the quick math and make sure that everything you sell is generating a profit, an amount left over after everything. Remember that your profits don’t have to be equal, one offer can be 10% profitable and another offer $25%, but each one must be profitable on their own.
You will be well on your way to a profitable and thriving business!

AUTHOR: POLIDORI, John William.
TITLE: The Vampyre; A Tale.
PUBLISHER: London: for Sherwood, Neely, and Jones, 1819.
DESCRIPTION: FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS, earliest obtainable issue with the preface unaltered and set in 24 lines rather than 23 and containing the commentary suggesting improprieties regarding "two sisters as the partakers of his revels", half-title present, pp.xxv+[i](blank)+-84, 8vo., bound in the original gray paper wrappers, entirely uncut as issued.
CONDITION: Spine repaired/replaced, inner hinges reinforced, uncut as issued, occasional mild foxing but largely clean and bright.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Polidori, Lord Byron's personal physician, accompanied him into exile and was present at the Chateau near Geneva on the evening in 1816 when, after recounting German ghost stories, Byron suggested that each of those present should compose a supernatural tale. This was the occasion that gave rise to Mary Shelley's supernatural classic, Frankenstein, and to Polidori's The Vampyre - a much inferior work, but still celebrated as the first vampire-gothic work in English, and extremely popular in its time (partly, no doubt, because it first appeared as the work of Byron).

Great LO’s May, love the first one
Ooh, love how you embellished the flower ribbon. And I want one of those rulers too … Nancy Nally had it as her product pick on Paperclipping Roundtable ages ago and I’ve been hunting for one ever since!
Stunning layouts, love the colours in that kit 🙂
I have had Tim’s ruler for awhile now and just love it!! Your layouts using the Scarlet Lime kits are beautiful. I want to try the ribbon with the brads in the middle.
I just got some of that red baker’s twine–I love how you used it.
Oh May you are such an enabler LOL I had to go check out the September kit and for the first time ever kits were still available so guess who’s waiting for it to arrive oh so impatiently ;o)
Have Tim’s ruler -love it too. I have some of the flowers and was actually disappointed in them. But I really like the way you dressed them up=made so much difference.

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Senate Republicans will place a national Web ad Thursday calling into question President Obama's decision to criticize a Massachusetts police department for arresting a Harvard professor at his own home.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee, the campaign arm for the Senate GOP, is paying for the ad that asks people whether it is appropriate for Obama to say that the Cambridge Police "acted stupidly" for arresting scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr.
Gates was charged with disorderly conduct after reacting angrily when police arrived at his house after receiving a call that a break-in was taking place. On Tuesday, the charges against Gates were dropped. Obama was asked about the incident during Wednesday's nationally televised news conference, and he acknowledged that he may be "a little biased" because of his friendship with Gates.
"But I think it's fair to say, No. 1, any of us would be pretty angry; No. 2, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and, No. 3 ... that there's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately."
The incident, Obama said, shows "how race remains a factor in this society."
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Thursday that Obama did not regret using those words, but sought to clarify that the president "was not calling the officer stupid."
"The situation got out of hand," Gibbs said.
A Republican official tells CNN that the NRSC is buying a Web ad that will run on the Drudge Report asking people if Obama's remarks were "presidential."
"This isn't taking sides between the police officers and Mr. Gates," NRSC spokesman Brian Walsh told CNN. "It is the issue of whether it is appropriate for the President of United States to be weighing in and taking sides before, by his own admission, all the facts are known."
Walsh, who denied this was a political maneuver, said people who click on the ad will be directed to the NRSC Web site to record their thoughts.
"Unlike the president, we are not taking sides here," Walsh said. "He is the commander- in-chief. Is it appropriate for him to prejudge a legal matter when he doesn't know the facts?"
In addition, the NRSC will issue a news release this afternoon in an attempt to pressure Sen. John Kerry, D-Massachusetts, to "speak out" on the matter.
While Walsh said the NRSC is not seeking to politicize the issue, it does ask people to donate to the NRSC. And it is an opportunity for the NRSC to collect email addresses for future political undertakings such as fundraising.
> The incident, Obama said, shows "how race remains a factor in this society."
Especially when jokers like Obama and Gates keep playing the race card. Way to throw the police dept under the bus, Barry. Hope you get all the facts before you start negotiating with Iran. Thank God Hillary is around to clean up your mess.
There have been numerous reports of thug-ish, bullying and unprofessional behaviour of state troopers, police, etc. on all the news services. This event with Professor Gates is just another. When you act stupid ... you need to be called on it - I agree with President Obama ... the police acted stupidly.
Stupid is a word that we do not teach our children to use and in my classroom there are consequences to calling someone stupid. This man has gone way over the top on this. He sould have been asked why so many African-Americans and Latinos are stopped by the Policemen and he should have stayed out of the arreast altogether. But, hey, is the Messiah, right?
The President was RIGHT ON
I think that if it was anyone in that house, even a white man or woman, they would have asked for ID. They were under the impression someone broke in- so they wanted to make sure he wasn't robbing the house. Since he didn't show ID, they had the right to be suspicious- what if there really was someone trying to rob him? They were just trying to protect his property, he should be happy about that.
Obama should have never answered the question. He sounded like an ACORN activist, not presidential. In the final analysis, it was Gates would played the race card (which apparently he does for a living).
While I'm at it, I was disappointed to see Soledad O'Brien featured so prominently as a CNN "reporter" on AC 360 last evening. She came across as biased and racial as anyone I've seen reporting on this story, and doing so outside of the context of her over-hyped "Black in America" series.
Yes, Mr. Gates is truly a racist.
He assumes that white police officers harass the black man, holding him down, putting him down.
Let it go black man, I see you as an equal. an equal with a better job and a higher pay rate and a nice house. Things achieved on your own merit. Why throw it all away with hate and fear.
Shame on YOU Mr. President!
I totally agree with the President in his commnets about the stupidity of the policeman who did the arresting. It is sad that this keeps happening again and again in our country. When will each race understand that we are all the same? Each race has its good and bad amoungst them. Nobody was created better than the other.
Obama you are wrong. If you would read the newspaper article you would see it was the professor that caused the problem. The police were just doing the job we pay them for. A complaint was made that someone was breaking into the house. All the Professor needed was to cooperate and all would have been fine.
If race remanes a factor, how the hell did he get into office?
The only race that is a factor is the rase card.
Gates became angry at the police( white or black, you yell at a cop your going in), got in trouble, how would a person of prestige get out of this? Blame everybody else. Man up to the fact thatyou are to blame and move on.
That officerdoesn't have to apologise for doing his job.
The GOP is so deserate they will question his choice of breakfast cereal. They are out of touch, corrupt fools!!!!!
People are beginning to see how Obama is just a race-mongerer after all - not a "post-racial" president. The floor is falling out of this presidency.
GOP should use that money to give us alternative means to budget deficit or healthcare. This is side show without meaning.
How about that the GOP is endorsing the shoot first and ask questions later attitude.
Seriously? A cop responds to a burglary call–not just randomly pulls up outside some African American's house and goes in and harrasses him...then when he asks to see some identification, the man in the house becomes beligerant and makes comments about the officer's mother...but that is okay. What were the police supposed to do when someone called in a burglary and they arrive there and find someone fitting the description of the person breaking into the home actually inside the home? Just leave? I guess I don't get it...and I absolutely don't get where people are saying racism and racial profiling came into play on this.
Of course they question it. Just because he spoke of a problem we all know exists doesn't make him wrong. More politics as usual from both sides. The only work that will be done by these Republicans is to demonize Obama at every turn. It is sad when that is all you have to run for election on.
Repubicans are the stupid ones for sure. They will do anything stop President O.. They are just patectic to say the least.
The NRSC has missed another opportunity to broaden their base. As a white man from Indiana, I recognize that some police officers harbor racial bias. That's not to say that there are many exceptional law enforcement officers.
I really recognized this bias after an incident with a friend. One of my friends, who was relieving himself in Chicago ally, was approached by police officers. They just gave him a warning and said to him. We're here to protect you. In other words, a white guy gets a pass.
I agree, Obama should not meddle on these things.
A "little biased." Ya think?
I'd love to see the Mass. congressional delegation squirming right about now.
When the facts come out on this one, the WH, in the form of that lump of pus, Gibbs, will quietly backtrack on that comment. My money is on a "clarification" in 2 days or less.
It is so sad to see that everything President Obama does or say is criticized by the Republicans. Let the man do his job and have his opinions. Where were these people when Bush was ruining the country and making the real ignorant and plain stupid comments for the 8 years!
Obama's statement on the issue is embarrassing. With the facts available, there is little doubt that Gates was entirely at fault in the incident by not producing identification, followed by his verbal abuse towards the officer. Simply put, Obama acted stupidly.
Obama is the one who uses the race factor the most,
and when the racist hate is used against whites by blacks and
latinos its ok with him.
Obama and Gates are the racists, or should I say race-baiters.
If President Obama has no business commenting then how much less business does the National Republican Senatorial Committee have to say anything about it?
And at least Obama knows Gates, which gives him more of a right to an opinion than most of us. Who does the NRSC know? Some C+ Harvard legacy grad who heard of Gates once, or flunked out of his class?

What is Conductance and Why Does it Matter?
Conductance is the characteristic of a vacuum component or system to readily allow the flow of gas and can be thought of as the inverse of resistance to flow. It must be closely considered when designing a vacuum system and selecting the pump and other components, otherwise, your vacuum chamber will take too long to reach the pressure required.
Well-designed piping of vacuum equipment, as well as proper component selection, increases production efficiency by minimizing the vacuum pumping time. It also minimizes energy use, making your equipment less expensive to operate. Ignoring the principle of conductance and designing the system with only physical configuration and flow rates in mind, can cause delayed equipment startup, plant downtime, and process inefficiency because if a problem is found after startup, it can take considerable time and money to correct.
Conductance has units of volumetric flow rate divided by pressure drop, expressed as liters per second. The conductance between two points is defined as the gas flow rate flowing through a device divided by the pressure drop that is driving it.
The time required to draw a vacuum depends on the pumping speed. Due to the flow resistance (inverse of conductance) caused by the necessary separators, valves, cold traps and piping, the effective pumping speed is always less than the rated inlet speed of the pump and also less than the conductance of the most restrictive component (at times considerably less). Therefore in order to achieve the desired pumping speed, it is not sufficient to simply select a pump – too small a conductance can make a required speed impossible to achieve with any pump.
In order to select a vacuum pump, it is important to calculate the total conductance of the system being designed. The pump can then be selected to achieve the required pressure within the desired time. The conductance of the vacuum piping can be calculated (or charts used) for various pressures, pipe diameters, pipe lengths, and orifice sizes. The conductance for the individual system components, however, such as valves and separators, is determined empirically and values provided by the manufacturers.
When calculating system conductance it is important to understand the following concepts:
1. The mass flow rate throughout the system remains constant. This means that as the local pressure decreases, the speed increases in a predictable manner and allows the conductance to be calculated.
2. Conductance changes during the three modes of flow through the system (see fig 1). Three types of flow exist in vacuum systems: viscous or continuous flow, molecular flow and – at the transition between these two – Knudsen flow. The conductance in a given vacuum component is not a constant value but rather depends strongly on the nature of the flow. When calculating conductance, therefore, it is necessary to realize that only the conductance values applicable to a certain pressure range may be applied in that range.
The Three Modes of Flow
Viscous flow exists at higher pressures and is what we experience in non-vacuum systems. The pressure in this region is high enough that molecule-to-molecule collisions dominate the flow pattern. In the viscous flow region, the relationship between conductance and pressure is linear. When the pressure becomes lower, density drops. This decreased density increases the space between molecules, and the mean free path before molecule-to-molecule collisions occur is greater. For air at 20°C, the mean free path is approximately 66 nm at atmospheric pressure and increases as pressure falls. At 0.001 mbar it is approximately 6.6 cm. It is longer for lighter and hotter gases but pressure is the dominant quantity.
Molecular flow occurs as the pressure drops further, so the interaction between molecules no longer has an effect. Rather, molecule-wall collisions dominate.
Transitional flow takes place in-between viscous and molecular flow and is non-linear.
Conductance is greatest in the viscous flow region, the smallest in the molecular flow region, and in between for the transitional flow region. In other words, Cm < Ct < Cv. The pressure-geometry relationship defining the transition between viscous and molecular flow is not strictly demarcated but considered a general region between which the flow changes from the viscous region to the molecular region. For example, given a 5mm diameter pipe (Fig. 1), the flow is considered viscous above roughly 1.3 mbar, is considered molecular below approximately .027 mbar, and transitional in between.
Note the conductance is different for different diameters at the same pressure because conductance is dependent on both pressure and diameter. The same holds true for the regions considered viscous, molecular, and transitional. Also note that (a) in the molecular flow region, the graph is nearly flat and conductance is nearly independent of pressure (b) for viscous flow, conductance is a linear function of pressure and (c) in the transitional region the relationship between conductance is non-linear.
Calculating Conductance in Series and Parallel
It is the effective pumping speed (Equation 1) that shows that the smaller of S and C is the limit to pumping performance and merely increasing the pumping speed is not enough.
(1) 1/Seff = 1/S + 1/C or Seff = S*C/(S+C)
The total system conductance CT for components and pipes connected in series is calculated as follows, where the inverse of the system conductance is equal to the sum of the inverse of each the individual conductance values:
Therefore the system conductance can be expressed as:
For components and pipes in parallel, conductance is calculated as follows:
C = C1 + C2 + C3 …
Calculating Conductance in Orifices, Pipes, and Tubes
Data for calculating conductance in cylindrical pipes & tubes are readily available.2 It is important to note that the tabulated values may differ by as much as 12% from actual results for systems in free molecular flow.3 This is an acceptable error considering the other uncertainties in calculating pumping speeds relative to pressure for a given system.
In looking at the tabular data in graphical form (Fig. 2), the molecular flow conductance (Equation 2) tells us that a = f (L/a) and so the effect of L/a is identical for all diameters. It should be stressed that these conductances are only for molecular flow (no such data exists in laminar flow) and that calculating by hand outside molecular flow is hard and prone to greater error.
(2) Ca • a
where Ca is the aperture conductance (dependent on area, gas RMM, and absolute temperature) and a is the transmission probability.
Even in the easiest cases in molecular flow, calculating conductance is far from simple and it is considerably harder at higher pressures in viscous flow. Unless one has a good understanding of the vacuum system and experience with similar systems it is advisable to consult a vacuum pump manufacturer who is able to use their experience in modeling systems. One such example is Edwards’ proprietary vacuum science modeling tools, PumpCalc® and TransCalc designed to verify calculations, identify best-fit pump solutions and optimize pump performance (e.g., pumpdown speed). These packages (not offered for sale) are used to support existing customers for modeling a wide range of vacuum system configurations, using more accurate and complex methods than those outlined here (Note: These products will be the subject of a separate article in this series).
The conductance of an orifice is determined as follows:
- Measure the orifice’s radius in centimeters (“a” on the table).
- Find the table entry corresponding with the orifice diameter in the first data column (L/a = 0).
- For example, an orifice with a .8 cm radius has a conductance of 23.470 L/sec
The conductance of a straight cylindrical pipe or tube is calculated as follows:
- Measure the (overall) length (M) and radius (cm) of the pipe
- Divide the length by the radius, which provides the L/a ratio referenced in the table
- Find the table entry corresponding with the radius and the L/a ratio. If the exact match is not available, use the next larger “L/a” value or interpolate.
- Consider, for example, a 2-meter pipe with an ID of 1 cm. The radius “a” is equal to ½ the diameter or .5 cm. L/a is calculated as 2/0.5 = 4. From the table, the conductance is 13.160 L/sec
General Guidelines for Good Vacuum System Design
The following are simple rules of thumb when designing your system.
- Shorter length and larger diameter piping is best.
- Manifold and piping diameter should be the same as, or greater than, the inlet to the vacuum pump.
- The pumping system should be physically located as close as possible to the chamber.
- The number of bends, elbows, and turns should be kept to a minimum.
- Vacuum filter flow ratings should meet or exceed the CFM rating of the pumping system and must be kept clean.
- Find and use a previous reference project as a guide for the new one you are designing. This will allow you to empirically verify your design to the greatest extent possible, prior to investing in manpower and materials.
Conductance is seldom considered in designing and maintaining our pumping systems but is well worth the time to understand and the effects of which must be taken into consideration so as to create an optimum pumping system.

Not Everyone Celebrates a “Happy” Pride.
Yes, Pride is a time for self-expression, visibility, and unapologetic authenticity. It’s an opportunity to commemorate the history of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and honour both the progress that’s been made collectively and the resilience of individuals.
But for some, it’s quite different.
It’s essential to recognize that not everyone experiences Pride through a happy lens. While it’s a time for celebration, it’s equally important to acknowledge and support those who may not find it a “happy” occasion.
Some individuals within the LGBTQIA2S+ community face unique, personal challenges that can make this time difficult. Pride can evoke feelings of vulnerability, sadness, or reflection for those who have experienced discrimination, rejection, or struggle with their identities. It’s crucial to create space for these individuals to express their emotions and be heard.
Supporting Those Whose Pride is Not-So-Happy
To support those for whom Pride is not a happy celebration, we must extend our care and understanding beyond the month-long celebrations. Here are 5 ways employers and team members can provide year-round support to those individuals:
1. Listen and show empathy. Create safe spaces for individuals to share their experiences and emotions openly if they choose to. Actively listen, without judgment or assumptions, and offer your empathy and support.
2. Educate and raise awareness. Educate yourself and others about the unique challenges faced by different members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Raise awareness about the intersections of identities and the importance of inclusivity for everyone.
3. Be an ally and advocate for others. Be a visible and vocal ally by amplifying marginalized voices, advocating for equality, and challenging discriminatory attitudes and behaviours. Click here to read our blog for more information on how to be a better ally.
4. Support mental health. Recognize the impact that societal pressures and discrimination can have on mental health. Give your team space to feel what they’re feeling and make resources for mental health support available to your entire team to avoid singling anyone out.
5. Foster an inclusive workspace. Continue to foster an inclusive environment where people feel respected, valued, and accepted for who they are. Implement policies and practices that promote equality and diversity within your organization – check out our blog for more info.
Pride is undoubtedly a time for celebration and progress, but it’s important to recognize that it doesn’t evoke happiness for everyone – and that’s okay. Acknowledging and supporting those whose experiences of Pride differ from the mainstream is essential to fostering an inclusive and compassionate space for all – in the workplace and beyond!
Questions about how to celebrate Pride in your workplace and / or how to support LGBTQIA2S+ individuals authentically? Don’t hesitate to reach out to our team – we’re here to help.

This assortment of Irish harp jewelry is just one of the many collections of Irish jewelry that we offer at The Irish Gift House. If you enjoyed browsing through this section you may also like to see our St. Brigid's crosses that we offer as necklaces and charms. Another category that is strictly Irish jewelry, and not Celtic jewelry, is the History of Ireland collection that is made by Solvar; these pieces feature icons that respectively represent an era of Ireland's past.
For the sake of comparison it was the Celts that believed that trees held mystical powers and that they are the foundation of life, so our Tree of Life jewelry, that includes necklaces and earrings, is categorized as Celtic jewelry.
The Celtic Cross falls in between the Irish and the Celtic, some may say that it is both. Certainly there is early evidence of their existence in every Celtic nation but according to popular legend it was during the 8th century that St. Patrick who first introduced the Celtic version of the Christian cross to the then pagan Irish. Anyway, we have so many items in this section of our site, such as the silver Celtic cross necklaces and the men's Celtic cross necklaces, that we created a separate category where you will also find Celtic wall crosses and their common Irish cousins, the standing Celtic crosses.

Welcome! I am so thrilled to introduce my latest venture, JC Journal. Born from a personal love and adoration of collecting journals, my hope for it is to be a source of inspiration, where women can come to both read and share joyful stories and connect with one another.
For me, journaling is a part of my everyday life. One of the first things I do in the morning is write in my gratitude journal. Over the years, I’ve collected journals and found that I wanted each one to be about something different in my life, be it gratitude, family, creativity, travel. (In fact, my creative journal was in a lot of ways the birthplace of the company; it’s filled with ideas, quotes, and sketches!)
Since journaling is so important to me, I wanted to share a piece of that world with all of you. JC Journal will not only be a place to keep up what’s new at Jude Connally, but it will be a platform for sharing stories about the amazing women in the JC community. It’ll give us more opportunities to connect and interact, and to me that’s what it’s all about.
I’m so excited to start this journey, and I hope you’ll come along for the ride.
(P.S. Leave me a note in the comments, and say hi!)

There are so many wonderful books coming out in November with equally gorgeous covers, so I thought "Why not do a blog post on my fave covers?" And here I am. Blogging and gushing about covers I wish I could design. Wouldn't it be so much fun to design book covers for a living? Oh my gosh, that would be such an amazing job.
Got to love JLA.
Love the merging of colors!
Another Michelle Zink book? Yes, please! It's been way too long!
The car background is definitely fitting!
So dramatic! Not to mention fabulous!

Big Country Raw is a well-known Canadian company that specializes in providing high-quality raw dog food. With their focus on providing nutritionally balanced meals for dogs, many pet owners in the United States are eager to know if Big Country Raw delivers to their country. In this article, we will explore whether or not Big Country Raw Dog Food is available for delivery in the US, and what options are available for dog owners in search of a nutritious raw diet for their furry companions.
Does Big Country Raw Deliver to the US?
Many dog owners in the US have heard of the benefits of feeding their pets a raw diet. Raw dog food is often considered a healthier alternative to commercially processed kibble since it contains natural ingredients without any artificial additives. This growing interest has led many dog owners to wonder if they can benefit from Big Country Raw’s products in the US.
Unfortunately, as of now, Big Country Raw does not directly deliver to the United States. The company’s distribution network is currently limited to Canada, where they have built a strong reputation for producing excellent raw dog food products. While this may be disappointing for US residents eager to try Big Country Raw, there are still options available for those seeking high-quality raw dog food alternatives.
Alternatives for US Residents
Just because Big Country Raw does not deliver to the US does not mean that pet owners in the country are left without options. There are several other reputable companies in the United States that specialize in providing raw dog food and can deliver right to your doorstep.
One such company is Darwin’s Natural Pet Products. Darwin’s offers a range of raw dog food options, including complete and balanced meals that are formulated to meet a dog’s specific dietary needs. They deliver throughout the United States and have a strong following among dog owners who prioritize raw feeding.
Another popular option for US residents is Primal Pet Foods. Primal Pet Foods is widely recognized for their commitment to quality and their extensive line of raw food products for both dogs and cats. They offer a variety of protein options, including beef, chicken, and fish, to cater to different dietary preferences or allergies in pets.
While Big Country Raw does not deliver directly to the United States, there is no shortage of high-quality raw dog food options available for pet owners in the country. Companies like Darwin’s Natural Pet Products and Primal Pet Foods have established themselves as reliable sources for nutritious raw meals, offering a wide range of options to meet the specific needs of each individual dog.
So, even though Big Country Raw may not be an option for US residents at the moment, pet owners can still find reputable and trustworthy alternatives within their own borders. By exploring these alternative options, dog owners can ensure that they provide their furry companions with the best possible nutrition and contribute to their overall health and well-being.

I don’t know whether you have a brother, but boy are they hard to buy presents for!!
For Christmas 2014 I had this brilliant idea that I would make my brother a quilt. Woohoo…. no more wandering around stores stressing about what to buy… or just cheating and buying wine (though he would have loved that!).
But oh dear…. I only decided this in early November…. I had to get my skates on!
I had The Boat House fabric by Sweetwater which had some great ‘boy’ colours and I had really enjoyed the Moda Love Star pattern so I decided to make the layer cake sized version for my brother.
I love the part of quilt making when you trial fabric and placement.
The final placement was a little different, as usual I struggle with scrappy or ‘random’ and there has to be a pattern.
The layer cake design was was really quick to make up the quilt top (luckily!) so I tried something new for me and mitred the border.
I was lucky enough to find Tina, a local lady, who then did a great job quilting my Moda Love Star.
We decided on a wave design… you know… to go with the Boat House fabric 😉
Cue Christmas Day and my brother opened his quilt with a bit of a quizzical expression as to what this squishy large parcel was, but he really loved it! Totally out of the blue for him (I think he was expecting more wine!) and is now in pride of place on his bed.

Thirty-eight out of the 39 persons presented to the Osun State House of Assembly by Governor Rauf Aregbesola for the position of Commissioners and Special Advisers in the state have been confirmed.
The nominees were confirmed on Monday after they were screened by the state lawmakers.
One of the nominees Mr Adeola Tejumola, we gathered, was unfortunately not confirmed by the state Assembly because he allegedly failed to appear before the lawmakers for questioning.
Last week, the congressmen screened the nominees, but were confirmed today at a plenary on the floor of the Assembly.
Speaker of the Assembly, Mr Najeem Salaam, charged the Commissioners to work hard to improve fortune of the state.
He wished them success as they serve the state.

Battery-powered, lightweight, rail-based vehicle planned for Coventry
The vehicle will be electric-powered; generating zero emissions, designed with the view to being autonomous in the future.
Engineers and researchers at WMG, University of Warwick, are working alongside Transport Design International (TDI), based in Stratford, to develop a battery-powered, lightweight, rail-based vehicle to operate in Coventry.
The WMG team, including engineers Darren Hughes and Andrew McGordon, are assisting TDI with the design of the vehicle for Coventry City Council, and now have a 3D simulation of the vehicle.
The vehicle will be battery-powered with the long-term objective to become an autonomous vehicle, allowing more vehicles to operate intelligently and efficiently to meet passenger demand.
It will hold 50 passengers, and is hoped to – in the future – work like the London Underground system where there is no timetable and people can hop on and off.
Due to being battery-powered there will be no overhead power supply which is both costly and has a negative impact to the city-scape. This feature provides future flexibility for operating on other non-electrified routes.
The first-of-a-kind design is available to view in 3D via WMG’s visualisation suite and the first test vehicle will be manufactured by mid-2020. TDI have partnered with Coventry-based company RDM who will manufacture the vehicle once the design is complete.
A team of experts are also working to develop a new track system.
Dr Darren Hughes, WMG, University of Warwick, said: “The Coventry light-rail system will be innovative in bringing together technologies from a number of sectors to deliver a low-cost environmentally-sustainable public transport solution for the city of Coventry. Seeing the 3D simulation and envisaging how it will look within Coventry makes us look forward to building the first vehicle that will be ready for testing at a test track facility during 2020.”
The government’s Local Growth Fund through the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership (CWLEP) has contributed £2.46 million towards phase one of the research and design of the prototype and £12.2 million has been secured from the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) Devolution Deal to undertake the research and development required to prove the very light rail (VLR) concept.
The WMCA has also allocated specialist resource from Transport for West Midlands to provide technical support, advice and guidance to the project team as the scheme develops.
Councillor Jim O’Boyle, Cabinet Member for Jobs and Regeneration, commented: “VLR is a fantastic innovation and has the potential to transform the way people travel. It will be much more affordable to install than traditional trams, take up far less road space, be able to run alongside traffic and our ultimate aim is that it doesn’t require a driver so it can be a frequent service.
“This VLR work, combined with our work on driverless and connected cars, puts us right at the forefront of creating new, ground-breaking solutions for future transport needs. They will be safer and more environmentally friendly.”

Audio commentary by Rita Tushingham, Murray Melvin and Dora Bryan
A Taste of Honey (Blu-ray)
Shelagh Delaney’s play A Taste of Honey had already played in the West End and on Broadway when Tony Richardson made his film adaptation, shot on location in Salford and Blackpool.
Rita Tushingham made her indelible screen debut as Jo, a young girl who falls pregnant after leaving home and her floozie of a mother – a revelatory performance by Dora Bryan. Jo befriends Geoff, a gentle, kind-hearted gay man, and they move in together like two children playing house, for a while finding an innocent but fragile happiness.
Richardson, always skilled with actors, draws fine performances from his entire cast, and A Taste of Honey remains an outstanding example of the British New Wave, shot by its star cinematographer Walter Lassally.

Fisher Seeds Ltd. has evolved from pioneer families who settled in the Dauphin area in the late 1800s and presently has the fifth generation involved in the family operation. Fisher Seeds Ltd. is the seed and special crop arm of Fisher Farms, which crops 5000 acres of grains, special crops, and forage seed and hay.
Special crops contracted have included fababeans, medium fababeans, green and yellow peas, maple peas, lentils, buckwheat, hemp, Austrian winter peas, as well as borage, and quinoa.
Fisher Seeds have invested in two seed grower based companies – Canterra Seeds and Farm Pure Genetics as a medium for sourcing varieties suited to the local region.
Varieties are also sourced through SeCan.
The seed business was started by our parents George and Margaret Fisher, who started growing pedigree seed in the mid-1950s.
Processing and retail sales were added in the mid-1960s.
Processing and retail sales expanded in the mid-1970s when their sons George R., Douglas and Rod returned to the farm. Rod is in charge of the seed plant while Douglas and George R. are responsible for the grain farm.
The current seed plant was built in 1985, and specializes in seed grain as well as contracting and processing special crops for export.
Fisher Seeds commenced devitalizing hemp for the bird food market in early 2008. Hemp is an excellent feed for birds and Health Canada regulations require the Industrial Hemp must be non-viable (0% germination) in order to be sold into the bird food market.
Fisher Seeds are licensed with Health Canada to grow, and process Industrial Hemp; as well they are associated with a Hemp Breeding Company.

Every February, across the country, we celebrate Black History Month. This year, Robbinsdale Area Schools is honoring the month-long celebration by bringing to our community a series of videos showcasing students performing in culturally relevant ways.
Students from Plymouth Middle School and Armstrong and Cooper high schools took time this month to deliver a number of spoken word performances.
Spoken word is poetry intended for a verbal performance and rooted in oral interpretations of self written or recited poetry, and can be accompanied by drums, music, dance, sounds as part of the performance. In addition, spoken word often includes elements of hip hop, storytelling, rapping, jazz, theater, folk, jazz, rock and roll, and blues.
Spoken word poetry is important to Black History Month because performances often have a social advocacy focus, and are a form of self expression that often is found in the Black culture. For example, poetry slams are a part of spoken word, and some even consider spoken word as a verbal weapon against social injustice and other forms of oppression.
Thank you for watching, and enjoy.
