With the introduction of digital mapping techniques in the 1960s and then GIS shortly afterwards, researchers realized that error and uncertainty in digital spatial data had the potential to cause problems that had not been experienced with paper maps. An international trend started in the early-1980s to design and implement data transfer standards which would include data quality information that had disappeared from the margins of paper maps with the transformation to digital data products. The main intention of this work is to present the data conflation as one of the options for improvement of spatial data quality.
In a number of fields, the approach to quality evolved into a definition based on fitness-for-use. ISO 8402 defines the quality as the ‘totality of characteristics of a product that bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs’. This means that to define the quality two information are needed: the information on the data being used and on the users needs. Spatial data is defined to be fitness-for-use if it meets requirements of the target application. Data quality is defined by one or more quality dimensions. Quality dimensions for geographic data are called spatial data quality elements. They include completeness, logical consistency, positional accuracy, temporal accuracy (the accuracy of reporting time associated with the data) and thematical/semantical or attribute accuracy. Typically, metadata for spatial data include descriptions of data quality and include information about these elements.
During the conflation process information from the source input dataset (SDS) and the target input dataset (TDS) have to be assigned to each other. The SDS is defined as the dataset from where the geospatial information is taken (e.g. thematic information) and the TDS is defined as the dataset to which the geospatial information taken from the SDS is being transferred, i.e. the expanded dataset.
In order to transmit the real world into the language understandable for the computer, it should be modeled according to specific rules in a simplified form. Such data models represent the objects of reality as points, lines or areas (polygons). Each of these objects is provided with the x -and y-coordinates and contains information on the spatial reference. This example shows the differences of data formats of the same object.
The different producers of spatial data detected the same object of the real world differently. There are no uniform rules for acquisition of spatial data. According to this the different abstract representations of one and the same object of the real world may arise. This Figure shows an example of alternative geometric representations of the same real world object. Each representation was generated by different spatial data providers.
The approach presented here improves the quality of spatial data. This method illustrates how to increase the geometrical completeness of the road networks data. In the source dataset available objects such roundabouts must be found in the target dataset and assigned to the new amended dataset. The problem is that crossroads, which are roundabouts, in the dataset are saved as simple crossroad. At first a position of all available crossroads in the both datasets has to be found. A roundabout is finding if minimum three edges of the road network have the same start- and endpoint. If there are three edges, which have the same node, regardless of that is start or end point of each edge, then this intersection is a part of the roundabout.
In this way every crossroad of the dataset is verified. If a roundabout is defined, than at the second step the adequate crossroad is searched in the second dataset. Therefore the points are used, which are valid as traffic access or exits
All access or exits of roundabout are found in the first input dataset. The corresponding edges in the second input dataset are also found. Now the geometrical information about new objects can be assigned
After merge process of two or more datasets, the completeness of input data is always increased. This applies to all data types: polygons, lines, points. One condition must be fulfilled - one of the input datasets must have more information than the other. Not all new geometrical object of the end dataset include information about attributes. The completeness of the end dataset can never be complete in terms of thematic information. Datasets generated by conflation can be complete only in terms of geometrical information. The figure illustrates this problem. The figure 3 shows an example of two datasets. The first dataset (source dataset) includes the information about 6 buildings. However in the real world total number of buildings is 8, so two objects in this dataset are not provided. The source dataset includes thematic information about type of use of these buildings. The second dataset (target dataset) includes geometrical information about 5 objects. The information about existence of the buildings number 6, 7 and 8 is not available. Unlike source dataset, target data have information about quantity of floors. This information in the first dataset is missing. The end dataset in the figure 3 shows the complete dataset in terms of geometric information. The table under it shows increment of attributes. Geometrical objects, which are available in both input datasets, have 100% thematically completeness. The missing objects have thematic information of only one input dataset.
Conflation approaches allow the improvement of positional and temporal accuracy as well. Positional accuracy of a dataset can be increased with the information given by another input dataset. If both datasets have the major variance from real world, the arithmetic average of all input datasets can increase this quality element. The temporal accuracy will be improved if metadata provide information about actuality of spatial data.


Graceland is a National Historic Landmark. Sun Records is a National Historic Place. I think we need one other special category – National Historic Person, and I have a fine nominee: Scotty Moore.
What qualifies Scotty Moore as a National Historic Person? Well, let’s see. On July 5, 1954, when Elvis recorded his first song, there were four men in the studio. The guitar player was Scotty Moore, and he had a lot to do with creating that unique sound. Scotty Moore’s guitar work made an immeasurable contribution to the initial success of Elvis’ music.
The other three men there that historic night are all dead. Bill Black died in 1965, Elvis passed away in 1977, and Sam Phillips left us in 2003. That’s too bad, because the session when “That’s All Right” was recorded was a very special moment in history. Three men gone, only one left. Scotty Moore, the last man standing.
It is now 53 years since that magic moment, and it’s nice to know that Scotty is still alive and well. Don’t count on seeing him at many more Elvis Weeks. It might happen, it might not. But we know one thing for sure. We can see him this year. Scotty is headlining two tribute concerts at Elvis Week 2007.
Those fans that admire and cherish Scotty Moore were thrilled to hear they could catch him on Wednesday, August 15, at the Peabody Hotel. To you folks that are going to Elvis Week but haven’t yet decided what to see, I’m telling you, buy tickets to one of Scotty’s two shows. They are going to be great.
Scotty Moore – The Last Man Standingis a unique concert concept. Both the 2 PM and 5 PM shows are double concerts. Scotty has invited two groups of his favorite musician buddies to perform, and they jumped at the chance to be on stage with him during Elvis Week.
Scotty has a recording studio in his home, and he has had a blast with a group of Nashville musicians. After practicing and recording two-dozen R&B and blues songs, some from the Elvis library, they decided to call themselves “The Mighty Handful.” I’ve heard most of the songs, and these guys do a spectacular job. I hope there is a little section of the Peabody Grand Ballroom left open for dancing, because this is very danceable music.
Here’s a rundown of the men in “The Mighty Handful.” The biggest name is sax player supreme, Boots Randolph, like Scotty, another legend. He will steal the show, just like he always does. Billy Swan will do the vocals. Billy has tremendous stature among the Nashville music community as a successful songwriter, tour manager, producer, and singer (biggest hit – “I Can Help” — # 1, 1974). This grand performer will get a opportunity to show his stuff at The Last Man Standing, and he will not disappoint. Steve Shepherd has played with Scotty many times and was a long-time bandmate of Ronnie McDowell. Steve’s keyboard work will add so much to the sound of the concert. The other musicians in the band will be Bucky Barrett (Roy Orbison’s guitarist), Bob Moore (who followed Bill Black with Elvis) on bass, Fred Satterfield on drums, and Buddy Spicher on fiddle.
Just seeing these guys would be enough for me, but there is more — another group of Scotty’s buddies, this one from England: The Grundy-Pritchard Band. Scotty is much revered in England and Europe, so he has been traveling over there to perform since 1992. On every tour, he has played with Liam Grundy and Pete Pritchard and various other musicians in their group at the time. Scotty has recorded with them on the CD Western Union. In recent years, Paul Ansell, who has had a two-decade career with his own band “Number 9,” handled the lead vocals. Scotty also recorded with Ansell on the CD Live At Sun.
On the DVD, A Tribute To The King, Scotty and The Grundy-Pritchard Band did a superb job on six Elvis rockabilly and blues songs. They covered “Shake, Rattle, and Roll,” “A Mess of the Blues,” “One Night,” “I Forgot To Remember To Forget,” “Reconsider Baby,” and “Ready Teddy.” The music was tight, Ansell’s vocals were dead-on, and the end result was very impressive.
So, if you want some good entertainment at Elvis Week, take in the double concert Scotty Moore – The Last Man Standing. Scotty will be appearing at no other events in Memphis that week. This is the exclusive appearance of the genuine article, the last man standing. And sadly, it’s looking more and more like a farewell performance.
Join Scotty Moore’s many fans in honoring and appreciating him while you still can. Scotty may not have official recognition as a National Historic Person, but he truly is a national treasure.
Scotty’s long-time friend Darwin Lamm, Editor of Elvis…The Magazine, is presenting these concerts. To get tickets, call 818-991-3892, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.org.. See you in Memphis.

Average cost of full coverage car Insurance for drivers aged 23 who have their own policy is $2591 per YearYoung adults are considered more risky to insure than older drivers because they don’t have as much experience behind a wheel. Insurance companies charge a higher premium for young drivers because of this increased risk.
Average car insurance cost for males and women aged 23 years
Your gender can have an impact on how much car insurance coverage costs in many states. Female drivers are statistically safer behind the wheel compared to their male counterparts, which results in lower auto insurance premiums.
Here are the average national full coverage car insurance premiums per year for males and women aged 23 years.
Nationally, the average premium for full coverage car insurance for female drivers aged 23 years old is 12% lower that it is for men drivers. Car insurance companies consider more than just gender when determining rates. The cost of your insurance depends on where you live.
Average car insurance costs for 23-year olds by state
The average cost of car insurance can vary greatly based on your geographic location. Each state has its own insurance laws and rates. The cost of repairs and parts can have an impact on the amount of full coverage insurance.
The best car insurance companies for young adults aged 23
We first looked at the average annual premium of full coverage from the largest car insurers based on market share. This was the basis for our search for the best car policy for 23-year olds. We also looked at the policies, features, and third-party ratings of each company.
If you’re looking for the best car coverage for drivers aged 23 years old, it might be worth getting quotes from these companies:
USAA is the average car insurance company for drivers aged 23 years old. USAA does not insure military personnel or their families. USAA offers coverage to all who are eligible. They offer low rates and many discounts that will help reduce premiums. You can get discounts for safe driving, vehicle storage, and annual mileage.
If you’re looking for low-cost coverage, but not eligible for USAA, Geico may be a good choice. Younger drivers can save money on their car insurance by taking advantage of discounts for safety equipment and good students. Geico’s app is also highly functional and has just been awarded the J.D. The Power 2021 U.S. Insurance Digital Experience Survey for the Service category shows that most customers are extremely satisfied with the app’s functionality for managing their insurance needs.
For those aged 23 and over who prefer to manage their insurance online, Progressive is a great choice. Progressive offers discounts when you order quotes online, buy policies online, and choose a paperless policy. Additionally, enrolling in Progressive’s Snapshot program might help you lower your car insurance rate. Snapshot, a telematics program, tracks your driving via a plug-in or mobile app to determine how safe you drive. While your driving activity is a factor in your premium, high-risk drivers may see an increase in premiums.
Although Travelers may have the highest annual total coverage premium, the average rate for those aged 23 is still lower than the national average rate. For 23-year olds who want a flexible policy, Travelers may be a good option. There are many options available, including loan/lease gap coverage and accident forgiveness. There are many ways to save with the company, including discounts for homeowners, good students, and drivers with continuous insurance.
Car insurance at the lowest price for 23-year olds
For many, finding cheap auto insurance is a priority. Although average rates are low for 23-year olds, there are many companies that offer lower rates. However, your actual rate may differ from the ones listed below. Comparing quotes from different companies is a great way to compare prices for the exact same coverage.
These companies offer low average rates but your premium will vary based on your individual rating factors. How much you pay will depend on where you live, what car you drive, and which coverages you select.
How to get car insurance at a discount for 23-year olds
Even though 23-year-olds are likely to pay more for insurance than those who are older, there are still ways you can save. You can save money by shopping around, selecting a financially sound car, and taking advantage of discounts.
Take a look around
Each car insurance company uses its own rating system. One car insurance company may charge more for speeding tickets than another. Comparing quotes from different companies for the same coverage will allow you to compare rates and find the one that best suits your needs.
Take into account the vehicle you drive
Some cars are simply cheaper to insure. Although selling or trading your car is a drastic move, if you are looking to reduce your insurance costs, it may be worth considering a car that is less expensive to insure. Before you buy a car, it is important to get estimates. You can avoid financial surprises by getting quotes for a vehicle before you buy it.
Discounts are a great way to lower your car insurance premium, and most companies offer at least a few auto insurance discounts. While discounts may vary from company to company, there are common savings opportunities. These include driving low mileage, taking part in telematics programs, and being a good student.
Raise your deductible
Your policy will have two deductibles if you have full coverage. One for collision and one for comprehensive. You will have to pay the applicable deductible if you file a claim against your vehicle for damage. Your premium will decrease if you raise one or both of the deductibles. If you file a claim for vehicle damages, make sure that you have the funds to pay your deductible.
How to get the best car coverage for a 23 year old
Even though many drivers under 23 may be looking for the best auto insurance rates, it is not the only thing you need to consider. If you’re in an accident, skimping on coverage could leave you financially vulnerable. However, if you have a tight budget, paying too much can make it difficult to get the insurance you need. You can get quotes from multiple companies, understand your needs and use cost-saving strategies to find the right coverage at a price that you can afford.

^ Oh tosh. The 1950s SA hubs are supposedly the best-built, but the late 70s/80s/90s SA-AW hubs were far worse than the modern SRF3. When I worked in a bike shop (in York... full of AWs and SRF3s) I very rarely saw SRF3 hubs in for repair/replacement/chain adjustment (in fact, I can only think of one hub needing repair even though we sold loads of 'em), whereas AWs became a running joke.
It's also worth remembering that the design of the SRF3 (the replacement for the AW) means it is impossible for it to freewheel forwards or jump out of gear, regardless of chain adjustment - and also remember that riding a 'jumping' AW hub will further damage the internals to the point where it'll never work properly regardless of adjustment. Better design than the AW, and decent build quality to boot.
(The S2C, on the other hand, I found to be unreliable and unfinished... I think they rushed it into production. Finally got a refund after three failed hubs. This was when they first came out - perhaps the new ones are better)
Jim, personally I would scour car boot sales to find a good 50s/60s AW hub (easy to test by hand if you have a glamorous assistant) as I have picked up several for a fiver or less. SRF3s are a little more expensive, sadly.

In 1160, the Abodrite Prince Nicolet, Lord ofSchwerin Castle, was facing the advancing German feudal Lords under the leadership of Henry the Lion. Rather than surrendering the castle, Nicolet ordered the castle to be set alight, thus rendering it useless to Henry and his minions. After its capture, Henry immediately ordered Schwerin to be rebuilt. It later became the ducal seat of Schwerin and then that of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.
The castle was left much as it was with very little in the way of modifications until 1477 when Duke Magnus II built the Big New House or” GroBes Neues Haus”. Construction finished in 1503 and it is the oldest preserved building in the city.
During the 16th century, the owners of Schwerin castle had forsaken the defensive capabilities of the original castle and concentrated instead on the more pleasing aspect of beautification. By the 17th Century it had been completely transformed into a palace.
Under the guidance of Georg Demmler, master builder to the royal household, Schwerin was altered yet again between 1843 and 1857. These final modifications were based on the French Chateau Chambord. After all the building work was completed, Grand Duke Fredrich Franz II and his family announced their arrival at Schwerin castle in the most pompous fashion, immediately preceded by the biggest festival the city had ever witnessed.
The castle was nearly destroyed in 1913 when a fire was discovered in the “Elisabethzimmer” – “Elisabeth’s room”. It quickly spread to other parts of the castle reaching the storeroom where all the hunting ammunition was kept. What pursued was a cacophony of small explosions and loud noises. After the fire was dosed, a third of the building was discovered to have been destroyed.
The collapse of the monarchy in 1918 saw Schwerin becoming part of the Mecklenburg Schwerin Free State. In 1921 the castle opened as a museum.
The Löwenburg (“Lion’s castle”), located picturesquely in the Bergpark (“mountain park”) Wilhelmshöhe, presents itself as a romantic knight’s castle from the Middle Ages.
In the inside, however, the castle houses living rooms from the Baroque, which were designed to accommodate the earl and his entourage. Löwenburg Castle was erected by landgrave Wilhelm IX. at the end of the 18th century – a time of major societal changes. Being a ruin, the castle evokes thoughts of fights of siege and defence, but with its seemingly venerable age, it was also designed to underpin the seniority and, thereby, the legitimacy of the dynasty of Hessen-Kassel.
Apart from the armoury with weapons and armours from the 16th and 17th century and the castle’s chapel with the erector’s grave, major parts of the living rooms in the dames’ and lords’ wing are open to the public. The rooms are partly furbished and partly set up as a museum.
The museum can only be visited in the course of guided tours, which start each hour on the hour from Tuesdays to Sundays between 10:00 and 17:00 (last guided tour at 16:00). The guided tour is included in the entry fee.
Lichtenstein Castle is situated on a cliff located near Honau in the Swabian Alb, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Historically there has been a castle on the site since around 1200. It was twice destroyed, once in the Reichskriegs war of 1311 and again by the city-state of Reutlingen in 1381. The castle was not reconstructed and subsequently fell to ruin.
In 1802 the land came into the hands of King Frederick I of Württemberg, who built a hunting lodge there. By 1837 the land had passed to his nephewDuke Wilhelm of Urach, Count of Württemberg, who, inspired by Wilhelm Hauff's novel Lichtenstein, added the current castle in 1840–42. The romantic Neo-Gothic design of the castle was created by the architect Carl Alexander Heideloff.
Today the castle is still owned by the Dukes of Urach, but is open to visitors. The castle contains a large collection of historic weapons and armour.

There are several reasons why a woman struggles to gain weight after the pregnancy and later in life which eventually affects the baby’s health. This article includes a list of foods that are rich in nutrients, healthy fats, and carbs which will help both mothers and babies to gain weight healthily.
Table of Contents
Weight Gaining Food Lists for Mother and Babies:
Fruits like mango, banana, coconut, are high on carbs and calories along with various micronutrients. It is the most sustainable way to gain healthy weight for both the mother and the baby. Similarly, fruit like avocado is loaded with healthy fats. Like any other fruit, it is calorie-dense, provides vitamins, minerals, and beneficial plant compounds.
2. Dried fruits
Dried fruits are high-calorie snacks that contain antioxidants and micronutrients. There is a myth that the dried fruits do not contain any minerals and vitamins which is not true.
The minerals and fiber remain intact even when dried. It is high in natural sugar, tasty and convenient with the goodness of nature which known for maintaining weight after birth. It also helps the mother and babies to recover quickly from childbirth and keeps the supply of minerals adequate.
People in general, do not like eating vegetables. When it comes to babies, it’s very hard to convince them to eat greens. However, vegetables are important to gain weight healthily.
Three servings of green and yellow vegetables per day recommended for women. It is especially compatible with breastfeeding females. It contains a rich percentage of fiber and Vitamin A.
Vitamin B-6, C, D, magnesium, iron, carbohydrate, etc. are other components contained in vegetables which may prove beneficial for mother’s and child’s health.
4. Red meats
Red meats are one of the best muscle-building foods. It is a natural source of dietary essentials. Although doctors advice to limit the intake, leaner cuts of the red meat are healthier than fatter cuts.
It is helpful for nursing moms to help boost milk production. One should aim to eat fatter cuts to gain weight. However, if you avoid animal products, you may have to take B12 supplements.
5. Fish and Salmon
During and after pregnancy, new moms and babies are weak and have a low immune system. Oily fishes and salmons have numerous health benefits which not only help in muscle building after pregnancy, also help in fighting diseases.
In the fish category, salmon probably is the best choice. It is incredibly tasty and well known for protein, healthy fats, and omega 3 fatty acids. Fishes and salmons should be included in a regular diet, however not more than two servings in a day during pregnancy. Fishes and salmon help to keep you and your baby’s heart-healthy.
Starch sources such as potato, sweet potato, buckwheat, corn, oats, beans, and legumes add carbs and calories to your food intake which increases muscles and glycogen stores.
Starchy foods like potatoes, oats are very good for babies as they are easy to eat for them and are nutritious too. Foods like corn increase sugar level resulting in the drop of glucose level only after a few hours of eating leaving you feeling hungry quicker which eventually helps you gain weight bit by bit.
The protein content in milk makes it a good choice for building muscles and gaining weight. Nursing moms should drink one to two glasses of milk daily, if not lactose intolerant.
Healthy breastfeeding takes place only when mothers intake an adequate amount of milk. Babies must be breastfed for 2-3 years old for proper physical and mental growth.
Milk contains high calcium value due to which should be included in the everyday diet of new moms and babies. It contains vitamin D which helps to build stronger bones earlier in babies and mothers as well.
Eggs are also one of the muscle-building foods that are quite well-known for high-quality proteins and healthy fats. It is a rich source of selenium, different vitamins including B6, B12 and D, and minerals such as iron, copper, and zinc.
The yolk part of the egg contains more calories and fat than the egg whites. In normal conditions, eggs are a great source of gaining healthy weight, if consumed with some form of exercise. It is not only the source for weight gain, but it also gives the energy required throughout the day for new moms when they are low on energy.
Rice is a convenient and low-cost carb source of food. It gives a high amount of calories and carbs in single eating. A cup of rice contains 200 calories and a rich amount of carbohydrates, both of which are important for gaining weight. It does not take a long time to prepare it and is easy to eat for babies also. It is most convenient with meat and other protein-based vegetables.
Different types of cereals and cereal bars like oats, whole grain, granola, etc. are available in the market. However, most healthy ones are those that are not processed and high sugars not added.
One should look for cereals and cereal bars that contain whole grains, nuts, and fruits. It contains fiber, antioxidants, carbs, nutrients, and calories that help increase weight among babies of 2-4 years. Furthermore, a healthy breakfast is important for new moms to stay energetic throughout the day.
11. Butters & nut butter
Alike all dairy products, butter is also very good for weight gain as it is rich in calories. Although it helps you gain weight, it is not the best choice for building muscles. Nonetheless, it is one of the well-known eateries for gaining weight.
Nut butter like peanut butter is a perfect choice to gain weight. It is delicious and even babies prefer to eat, as no cooking is required and is easy eating. It contains healthy fats and proteins, calorie-dense.
However, make sure no preservatives and artificial sugar added when purchasing nut butter. The only ingredient in nut butter should be the nuts, which is safe for babies and mothers.
12. Whole-grain bread
Apart from its taste, the main reason to eat whole-grain bread is it is rich fiber component. It is the most effective eatery when combined with other protein sources like eggs, meat, cheese, and avocados. It helps in digestion, lower blood cholesterol, blood pressure, etc. in mothers after childbirth.
For babies, products with whole-grain reduce the chances of developing chronic ailments. These products make babies feel full in a small amount, hence helps in eating in small portions rather than large quantities at once.
13. Protein smoothies
Protein smoothies are the most fun way to healthily gain weight. It is delicious and highly nutritious. It contains a variety of minerals and nutrients as the fruits and nuts can be included as per your diet requirement.
Avoid any protein smoothies/shakes available in the market with extra sugar and additives, as it can be harmful to the mother and babies altogether.
Full fat yogurt is another food that will help you gain weight fast. However, even for gaining weight, you should choose a low-fat option, less sugar. It is a convenient snack as it works well with most dishes. It contains high carbs, healthy fats which helps to gain weight and it can be consumed with any dish.
Cheese gives a high calorie and flavor boost. It has been a staple food for centuries that is good-tasting when combined with anything like bread, pasta, sandwiches, burgers, etc.
It has other components like fat, calcium, and protein. For babies, cheese with whole milk cheese is favorable. To gain weight, one should choose full-fat cheeses. Although, correctly incorporating within the diet is important.
General health tips to gain weight:
- Do not skip meals. For babies and children, feed them when they are hungry instead of completely skipping meals.
- Include one to two healthy meals in your diet regularly.
- Avoid low-energy, unprocessed, and junk foods with empty calories like chips, candy, diet-soda, and soft drinks.
- Consider eating a small portion of food over the day rather than eating big heady meals at once.
- Limit liquid before a meal so that you can eat more.
- Consciously make choices to eat foods with good fats, high-nutrients, energy-dense, minerals, and vitamins.
- Exercise because weight gaining is not just about adding kilos, it’s about building muscles and healthy fats.
- Reduce stress and focus on sleeping properly.
- For babies and children, consult a registered dietician for extra help.
A balanced diet, exercise, and a good lifestyle are all important factors to maintain a healthy weight of babies and mothers.

We’ll be reissuing some long-out-of-print Heavenly classics, some for the first time on vinyl, as well as brand new music from a current Heavenly artist and a reissue of an LP by a lifelong hero of ours, also for the first time on vinyl.
For those who don’t know, Record Store Day is an annual celebration of independent record shops, a chance for musicians, labels and music fans to show some love to their local vinyl dealers. Hundreds of special, limited releases are pressed for the occasion, many of which sell out on the day, with some fans queuing through the night for first dibs. This year’s event takes place on the rescheduled date of Saturday 20th June.
The first LPs we are excited to share with you are from Cherry Ghost, the alias of the Ivor Novello award-winning songwriter Simon Aldred.
After releasing all three of Cherry Ghost’s albums, as well as the singular LP from Simon’s other project Out Cold, we asked Cherry Ghost to perform as part of our 25th birthday celebrations back in 2015. Now, five years later, we can all relive that special evening, immortalised on wax.
Live At The Trades Club, Hebden Bridge sees Simon joined by Christian Madden and Grenville Harrop on keys and percussion for a stripped back, laid bare engagement with pure songsmith magic. Across two LPs, the trio cover much ground with classics like ‘4AM’, ‘People Help the People’, and ‘Mathematics’, as well as seldom heard B-sides and tracks from Simon’s other project Out Cold. Overall this collection makes a serious case for Aldred being massively underrated in the canon of classic songwriters. We can’t wait for Cherry Ghost’s return to the Trades this April.
On top of that, we’ll be releasing Cherry Ghost’s masterful second album, Beneath This Burning Shoreline, for the first time on vinyl. Inspired by bands like Wilco and Sparklehorse, film soundtracks, Albert Camus and solitary travels through Europe, Beneath This Burning Shoreline is a minor key meditation, and Aldred’s proudest work.
In 1994, Terry Hall (The Specials, Fun Boy Three, etc.) released his first solo album, Home. Now, 26 years later, we present its long overdue debut on vinyl.
Home is the culmination of a long process which saw Terry Hall separate his lack of love for the job of pop star from his adoration for pop itself. The LP was recorded with Ian Broudie, with a band made up of members of The Smiths, Aztec Camera, Echo & The Bunnymen and more, and with co-writing credits from Andy Partridge (XTC) and Nick Heyward. It’s opening track and lead single ‘Forever J’ sets the tone for the rest of the album:
“Alloyed to a disarmingly beautiful chorus, this ticker-tape flurry of unguarded intimacies might just be the most perfect pop song of an era that wasn’t exactly lacking in competition”
A real pop classic, in our opinion, that we’re glad to give a second physical life.
Speaking of great pop records, it’s been 15 years since we released The Magic Numbers debut album. Looking back on it, the band’s Romeo Stodart said:
We wanted to create music that was timeless.
We wanted to create a band that you could believe in.
We wanted to break your heart whilst lifting your spirit.
We wanted to make a classic debut album.
And that they did.
Available again for the first time since its original release in 2005, in a beautiful 2LP package, don’t miss your chance to fill this hole in your collection.
🌻 Last but not least – a brand new 7″ from Hatchie 🌻
Following on from her internationally-acclaimed 2019 debut album Keepsake, Hatchie has announced the special 7” release, ‘Sometimes Always / Adored’, out exclusively as part of Record Store Day on Sat April 18. Hatchie is joined by US indie-pop gems The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart for a cover of ‘Sometimes Always’ by The Jesus and Mary Chain on Side A, whereby Side B sees the release of Hatchie’s standalone 2018 single ‘Adored’ – recorded for Adult Swim, and the only Hatchie song that hasn’t been released on vinyl until now. One-time pressing on transparent orange vinyl.
We hope we’ve given you even more reason to go down and support your local record shop on June 20th. View the full list of releases for the day over on the RSD website here.

READERS GUIDEIn the beautifully written, multi-layered novel Plum Wine, Angela Davis-Gardner portrays the love story between Seiji, a Japanese potter who endured the terrors brought about by the Hiroshima bombing, and Barbara Jefferson, a lonely young American teaching English at an all-girls Tokyo university. This tale is much more than a romance; the narrative combines elements of mystery, culture, history, literature, and poetry in one woman’s life-altering journey through the recent past.
Plum Wine is set in Japan during the Vietnam War era. At the onset of the novel, Barbara receives a bequest from her fellow teacher and mentor, Michiko Nakamoto (Michi-San), a Hiroshima survivor who has died from unknown causes. Michi-San has left Barbara a tansu chest filled with bottles of homemade plum wine dated each year from 1939 to the present year, 1966. Wrapped around each bottle are sheets of rice paper covered in calligraphy that reveal portions of Michi-San’s and her mother’s lives. As Barbara journeys through two worlds, two time periods, and two women’s lives in order to understand the texts, which she cannot translate herself, her passage unfolds a story of shame and secrets, of trust and betrayal, and the clash of civilizations.
This incredibly powerful novel was a Book Sense Pick in hardcover and is the first of four books by Angela Davis-Gardner to be published by The Dial Press. The questions that follow are intended to enhance your reading of Plum Wine.
Questions and Topics for Discussion
1. Discuss the storytelling approach used in Plum Wine. Does it change the reading experience to watch history unfold from the translation of buried papers? Is this narrative approach effective?
2. Discuss the significance of a fox to the Japanese. What is so appealing about the stories about the Fox-Woman? Can Barbara be considered a fox? If so, in what ways?
3. “It was strange, she thought, how the placement of objects affected them. It was true for people too.” (page 12) Sentiments of alienation engulf Barbara throughout the novel. What makes her feel so different?
4. How does learning about Michi-San, Seji, and Rie’s Hiroshima experiences affect Barbara? Do their stories further distinguish her or do they make her feel more connected?
5. Memories from the bombing haunt Seiji and Michi. Describe some of these haunting images. How do these terrible recollections fit into the larger scope of the book?
6. Barbara is deeply affected by the revelation that Michi, Seiji, and her student Rie are survivors of the atomic bombing. It is even harder for her to understand the devastating psychological effects wrought by war. How do her feelings change after she runs into American officers on a train ride and when she learns of Rie’s side job?
7. Tradition and heritage are major themes throughout this novel. How are they treated differently by Japanese and American characters? Does the cultural distinction prohibit Barbara from participating in Japanese traditions?
8. “Hibakusha have become almost a pariah caste in Japan.”(p. 99) Why are Hiroshima survivors, “hibakusha,” tainted? Do you think Seji is correct by saying hibakusha never love?
9. Michi-san’s fondness for plum trees leads her to name her daughter Ume, which means plum. What does the plum tree symbolize?
10. Why did Michi leave Barbara her papers? Explain what it means to have “an inheritance of absence.” (p. 179)
11. How does Rie explain that one’s true valor rises above class? Does this idea of valor above class transcend all cultures? Is this a modern idea or can it be traced throughout history?
12. Plum Wine portrays the bonds people form under the cruelest of circumstances. Discuss the connections between the characters, their traumas in both past and present, and the wars that they survived.
13. Barbara realizes that Seiji is leaving out parts of Michi’s writing in his translation. What secret does Barbara uncover? In what ways are Seiji’s actions the result of his cultural perspective? In what ways do they transcend cultural concerns?
14. Barbara comes to Japan on a personal journey in search of the essence of her mother. Did she accomplish her goal? Why or why not?
15. We often read about wartime experiences from a male point of view. Based on Plum Wine, how is wartime experience different for a female? As a reader, does this change the way you think about the events and repercussions of World War II?
16. Discuss the issues relating to motherhood in the novel. Describe Barbara’s relationship with her mother and Michi’s with Ume–and Michi and Barbara’s mother-daughter relationship with each other. Why do you think Michi and Barbara formed this type of bond?

Which scenes were most effective in the movie version of To Kill a Mockingbird, and which were most effective in the novel version of the story?I need the movie versus the novel.
The answer to this question is going to be largely up to personal opinion and preference.
In my opinion, Atticus' closing arguments in the trial scene is far superior in the movie compared to the book. Gregory Peck nailed that role. Even when I read it today, I hear Peck's voice as Atticus, speaking with the same conviction. To me, this is a scene that is as moving as the coach's final speech in "Hoosiers." If I was a lawyer, this would be a scene I might watch to pump myself up for a trial.

"Many, many, many years ago, before I was spoken for, legally, I had a dream that you and I went to a basketball game together," she told Letterman, 68.
And during halftime, "You turned to me and you said – I think you meant every word – you said, 'I love you.' And I said, 'Oh, my god, I love you too.' And then you dipped me," Parker, 50, revealed.

Construction spending dipped from October to November, but resolution of the uncertainty over federal taxes for 2013 should lead to more private construction investment, Associated General Contractors of America reported today.
Chief Economist Ken Simonson said construction spending in November, while down 0.3 percent from October, was up 7.7 percent from November 2011. Much of that growth was in housing, where building of single-family homes increased 29 percent for the year and apartment construction climbed 46 percent.
“Last night’s passage of a tax bill should encourage many businesses to go ahead with projects they have held in reserve,” Simonson said, predicting double-digit gains in spending over the next few months.
Public construction has alternated between monthly increases and losses throughout 2012, sank 0.4 percent from October to November, but was up 2.2 percent from November 2011.
The two best-performing categories — highway and road construction and schools — experienced year-over-year declines of 6 percent and 3.4 percent respectively.
Association officials also said Congress needs to provide more funding for areas devastated by Hurricane Sandy.

On Tuesday, July 6, 2021, customer contributions to the MidwayUSA's NRA Round-Up Program surpassed $20 million.
There’s no denying that modern bullets are nothing short of amazing, but does that mean the older, classic designs are obsolete? Let’s take a closer look at the real-world differences between various bullet designs when used at hunting ranges.
It’s been an argument that has gone on for well over a half-century: Is the controlled-round-feed or the push-feed design better for the hunter?
In this age of ballistic superiority, where our projectiles more closely resemble the Apollo-era spacecraft, where the bullet continues to evolve in both shape and method of construction, the round nose projectile is often overlooked as if it were a relic of a bygone era. Don't let that fool you, though. The good, old-fashioned round nose bullet, which seems to have been passed over in the history of bullet evolution, is still a viable choice for many hunters.

You might want to hop on the Iceman spin-off train. Marvel's making good choices, thanks in large part to writer Sina Grace.
The fourth issue of the recently launched series introduced a new mutant. She possesses teleportation powers, and she can create and enter a pocket dimension inside her handheld folding fan.
Oh yeah, she's also Marvel's first drag queen superhero. And her name is Shade.
Here's her first appearance, in a page from the comic that Grace helpfully re-tweeted.
Tweet may have been deleted
It's a fitting entry point for the new mutant. Iceman is the only running Marvel series to feature a queer lead character. Bobby Drake, Iceman's alter-ego, is an openly gay man who wrestles with his multiple, overlapping identities in the pages of the spin-off series.
The spin-off marks a return to Iceman for Grace, who was also the writer on a 2017 series featuring the character (and wrestling with his identity). It was cancelled after only 11 issues, despite critical acclaim and a GLAAD Media Award nomination. The sales just weren't there.
The trade paperback releases were a different story. The two larger books containing all 11 issues of the original spin-off series sold much better than the individual issues, and so Marvel brought Grace back for another Iceman series in 2018. Shade made her debut in the new spin-off's fourth issue.
"I really wanted this series to push readers to new and better stories about the whole queer experience and how it applies to being both a mutant and a superhero," Grace said in a recent interview with The Advocate. "There’s a million different queer perspectives and we’re only scratching the surface."
Shade's story is only at its very beginning. She pops up again in Iceman #5, and she'll also make an appearance in X-Men: Winter's End, a special "annual" issue that should be out in February. There's presumably more to come than that, but that's all we know for now.

Diabetes – What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a terribly debilitating disease that affects millions of people every year. It occurs when your body isn’t producing enough insulin or it’s unable to utilize the insulin it does have effectively.
Exercise, diet and medication can aid in preventing or reducing the development of the disease. It’s important to be aware of the symptoms to determine if something is wrong and get treatment.
What is diabetes?
Diabetes is an ongoing (long-lasting) health condition that affects how your body converts food into energy. It occurs when your pancreas does not produce enough insulin or isn’t able to use it properly.
Insulin is a hormone that assists cells absorb and utilize sugar, also known as glucose. People with type 2 diabetes don’t produce enough insulin, or their bodies can’t utilize it correctly.
In both types of diabetes, the blood sugar levels get too high in time. This can cause problems in the kidneys, eyes and feet. It could also harm your heart arteries and brain.
Type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, meaning that your body’s immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells within the pancreas. The destruction can take place over several years or even decades, eventually leading to a total lack of insulin.
Insulin is required by those with type 1 diabetes every day. They also need to monitor their blood sugar levels and adjust their insulin, food, and activity levels to maintain their blood sugar within the healthy range.
Type 2 diabetes
If you have type 2 your body isn’t using insulin as it should. Insulin is a hormonal substance that helps your cells move glucose (blood sugar) from your blood into your cells where it is used to create energy.
Type 2 diabetics need to exercise and eat a healthy diet. They may also need to take medication to manage their blood sugar levels.
Diabetes in women symptoms
Diabetes is a chronic illness that affects people of all races as well as ethnic groups age, genders, and ages. Women are more susceptible than males.
Women who suffer from diabetes are more likely to suffer from complications, including heart disease (the most frequent diabetes-related complication) and loss of vision.
Polydipsia is a sign of warning for diabetes in women. This is because diabetes can result in excess sugar accumulation in your blood, and your kidneys cannot remove it.
Symptoms of diabetes in men
Diabetes is a condition where cells are not able to use glucose (blood sugar) for energy. This is typically due to the fact that the pancreas is producing too little insulin.
This leads to high blood sugar levels. Your body attempts to reduce these levels by flushing the excess glucose out of your bloodstream via urine.
People who have diabetes often experience thirst and require to drink large quantities of fluids. This can be up to four liters per day.
Men can also experience weight loss since their muscles are broken down by their bodies for energy, instead of fat. This is because their blood sugar levels remain high for extended periods.
A healthy diet with a low-carbohydrate diet can be an essential part of managing the condition. It can help control blood sugar levels control weight and reduce the risk factors for heart diseases.
Your diet should include plenty of whole foods like fruits, whole grains, vegetables beans, low-fat dairy and legumes. It should be free of saturated (unhealthy) fat and added sugars.
You may also need to limit the amount of sweetened drinks with sugar you consume. These drinks usually contain a lot of sugar in them that can cause elevated blood sugar levels.
Your doctor may suggest diabetes medications to keep your blood glucose (blood sugar) levels within the normal range. These medications are usually combined with lifestyle changes, such as exercise and diet to manage diabetes.
If your blood sugar is not being adequately controlled with one medicine, you may need to add a second medication. Your doctor will assist you to select the best medicine for your needs and preferences.
Newer medications, like sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and glucagon-like antagonists for the peptide-1 receptor, decrease blood sugar and have benefits for the kidneys and cardiovascular system, while reducing the chance of developing complications. They can also be beneficial for weight loss, and they come in both tablets and injections.

ONE of the nine people suspected of carrying out Easter Sunday’s terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka reportedly studied at a university in the United Kingdom.
As more details of the atrocities emerge, Sri Lankan state officials have revealed the suspects were all highly-educated.
According to Deputy Defence Minister Ruwan Wijewardene, “They wanted Islam to be the only religion in Sri Lanka. Most are well educated and come from middle or upper middle class families. They are quite independent financially and their families are stable. This is worrying.” He added: “one of the suicide bombers studied in the United Kingdom and then did a post-graduate course in Australia before returning to Sri Lanka.”
So-called Daesh (Islamic State) have since claimed responsibility for the killings which have so far left 359 people dead.

As most of you already know, I have recently moved house. The reasons for the move were many, varied and complex, the move itself was horrendously stressful. But now we are here, and it is paradise. Behind the big cypress hedge, the rest of the world just disappears. We have no close neighbours, only cow paddocks on three sides and across the road. The previous owners completely surrounded the house with shrubs, medium height trees and towering gums, creating a calm oasis on the windy creek flats.
It took me a few weeks to coax the ducks down to the dam, but this morning I sat for an hour watching my Muscovy duck with her six Pekin and Appleyard ducklings, along with Derek the Pekin drake and his mixed group of girls, enjoying the new-found water. They splashed and bobbed and preened, the ducklings attempting to flap their stubby down-covered wings.
As I sat on the dam bank, at the start of a new year, I thought, why can’t it always be like this? Why can’t I hide from the world and just be oblivious to everything that goes on? Why can’t I take a year off from being a feminist?
It is tempting to shut off the world and ignore all the terrible things that people do to those who are vulnerable. Plenty of people manage to do that perfectly well, I suppose, otherwise there would be more outrage and more done to prevent it. But the only way to completely insulate myself from it would be to never leave the property, never communicate with the outside world, never turn on my computer or watch a movie or read the news.
For me, to participate in society means I will see things that I need to speak up about. I have been kept silent and obedient in the past, and I won’t do it any more. I have not only survived, I have succeeded. And for me, to hide from what I have learned and ignore what I know is to betray every vulnerable person who suffers still.
It is only ever a matter of time before I read another news article about a ‘nice, ordinary’ man who has slaughtered his family, or a politician who thinks women can’t be trusted to make their own reproductive choices. Or a celebrity who thinks she can’t be a feminist because she likes to cook dinner for her husband. Or how men being able to access free porn at all times is more important than the health and safety of the people who make it. Or read a post from a woman who thinks she is clever for hiding a purchase from her husband so that she doesn’t get in trouble for spending money.
So I will continue to speak up. I will speak for those who have been silenced. For the women who have been taught to hate their bodies for not looking like supermodels or porn stars. For the women in abusive relationships who know all too well why they don’t ‘just leave’. For the one woman every week who will be killed in Australia by her current or former intimate partner. For the rape survivors who know that preventing rape is not just a matter of getting up and leaving if you don’t like how things are going. For the children who are at the mercy of the adults in their lives, for better or for worse.
It is a part of who I am, as much as the cooking, the animals, the soap. I will continue to inform and to challenge my circle in the hope of a ripple effect that might help make a change. I will continue to expose the harmful effects of the patriarchy and its toxic gender binary on all people. And I will continue to point out why that thing that you don’t think is a big deal is a symptom of a deeper, more troubling issue.
Happy New Year, everyone.

Insomnia is difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, or a combination of both. Insomnia may be its own diagnosis or a symptom of another physical or mental health problem. Insomnia can be separated into two categories:
• Primary insomnia is when a person is having sleep difficulties that are not associated with any other health conditions. The root cause of primary insomnia can vary greatly and include anything from stress to trauma to family challenges.
• Secondary insomnia occurs when a person is having sleep difficulties as a result of another health condition, medicine, or substance.
The length of time and how often a person experiences insomnia can vary greatly. Insomnia can be classified as:
- Transient insomnia is insomnia that comes on suddenly and lasts for a week or less. People do not typically seek treatment for transient insomnia, but may have several episodes.
- Acute insomnia (short-term insomnia) is the inability to sleep well for a month or less, and is commonly caused by stress or lifestyle factors.
- Chronic insomnia (long-term insomnia) is ongoing insomnia that may get better for brief periods only to return.
What are the Symptoms of Insomnia?
The primary symptom of insomnia is difficulty sleeping, and may include symptoms such as:
- Difficulty falling asleep
- Difficulty staying asleep
- Disturbed sleep patterns such as the lack of REM sleep
- Difficulty concentrating during the day
- Extreme fatigue
Primary insomnia has also been known to cause heightened physiological, cognitive, or emotional arousal in combination with negative conditioning for sleep. If insomnia is causing distress because the person experiencing it cannot sleep, it can lead to a vicious cycle where the more a person tries to sleep, the more he or she will have difficulty trying to sleep.
What Causes Insomnia?
Insomnia can be caused by lifestyle factors such as stress, inappropriate sleeping conditions, relationship problems, diet, excessive caffeine intake, and substance abuse. Some prescription medications can also contribute to the development of insomnia. Health problems such as frequent urination, difficulty breathing, infection, endocrine system disorders, and Alzheimer’s disease can also cause or worsen insomnia. Insomnia is a symptom of several mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress. For some people, insomnia is the symptom of an underlying illness that finally causes them to seek medical help.
Is There Treatment for Insomnia?
The treatment of insomnia varies greatly and depends primarily on its cause. Clinicians may suggest therapy or prescribe antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications for mental health conditions for which insomnia is a symptom. Insomnia caused by medical illness is typically treated secondarily to the underlying illness. Clinicians may also recommend lifestyle changes. When no cause of the insomnia can be found, clinicians may recommend a sleep study to determine if disordered sleep patterns might be contributing to symptoms. People in treatment for insomnia may be prescribed sleeping medication when no other cause of insomnia can be found.
Common treatments for insomnia include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT is the front-line approach recommended by the American Association of Sleep Medicine. Some researchers suggest a combination of medication and CBT may be the best treatment for chronic insomnia.
- Relaxation training: Guided training to relax your mind and body can be effective for treating insomnia. This method works by reducing physical tension and inhibiting thoughts and/or arousal that prevent healthy sleep cycles.
- Stimulus control: As part of CBT, or as a singular focus, learning to control stimuli (e.g. lighting, using the bed only for sleep, and developing a normal sleep/wake pattern) that contribute to poor sleep has been shown to effectively treat insomnia.
- Sleep restriction therapy: This type of therapy is especially effective for those seeking to increase the amount of “good sleep” they get. Sleep restriction therapy limits the amount of time spent in bed to promote sleep efficiency.
- Over-the-counter sleep aids: Most sleep aids contain antihistamine. These may help you sleep better or fall asleep more quickly, but can also contribute to excessive daytime sleepiness. Additionally, use of over-the-counter sleeping pills for chronic insomnia is not recommended. The effectiveness of these sleep aids often dwindles over time, and regular use may lead to severe side effects.
- Prescription sleep medication: Using prescription medications to treat insomnia should always be supervised by a physician.
What if Insomnia is Left Untreated?
Untreated insomnia can lead to a wide range of health and other concerns including:
- Interpersonal, social, and occupational problems
- Increased daytime irritability
- Poor concentration or inattention, which can increase the probability of accidents
- Increasing functional impairment
- Low productivity
- Increased probability of developing heart conditions and severe health problems
Good Sleep Hygiene
“Sleep hygiene” refers to healthy practices that promote quality sleep and full alertness and cognitive functioning while awake. Here are some healthy sleep hygiene practices:
- Stick to a regular sleep schedule. Try to pay attention to your sleep schedule and refrain from letting it vary greatly. This includes maintaining a regular sleep schedule even on weekends. Even if you are retired or do not have a regular work schedule, this is a healthy practice to promote good sleeping habits.
- Limit daytime napping. In general, napping is not a bad thing. It can, however, affect your regular sleeping hours if you do not limit the amount of time you spend napping. In general, limit your snooze to about 30-45 minutes.
- Exercise regularly. Regular exercise can contribute to healthy, deep sleep. However, try to avoid strenuous workouts right before bedtime as this can actually hinder your ability to fall asleep.
- Avoid caffeine and stimulants 4-6 hours before bed. Do not drink alcohol, coffee, tea, or other beverages containing caffeine before bed. Additionally, try not to smoke before bedtime.
- Watch what you eat before bed. Diet can have a wide range of effects on sleep. Avoid large meals, spicy foods, and foods such as chocolate with caffeine in them.
- Use your bed for sleep. Do not use your bed to watch TV, listen to the radio, or read on a bright tablet or computer.

I’m having problems going to sleep and staying asleep even after I have taken a sleeping pill.
Daniele M.April 20th, 2018 at 3:52 AM
The problem is, when I go to sleep earlier I don’t get that full eight or nine hours; I usually wake up at 5 or 6 AM so I’m still getting the same amount of sleep I would if I was closing my eyes at 1 or 2 AM.I am aware that sleeping regimens need time to kick in with the cycle, but it’s been months now and I have no reprieve. Should I see a doctor? Take medication? Should i try taking medicinal cannabis??
Sucks, man. By like 3 or 4 PM I start dozing off again, and I come home and I just want to take a nap. Lack of energy, which impacts my gym regimen and general welfare. I don’t want to do chores, or work, or even play video games in my down time because staring at the screen tires me out.
Sharon W.February 22nd, 2019 at 8:49 PM
You got me when you said that you must be suffering from insomnia if you’re having difficulties falling asleep and if you’re experiencing extreme fatigue. My sister has been suffering from sleepless nights since her husband died to disease. She said that she can’t work properly during the day due to lack of sleep. Since the quality of her life is being affected, I’ll ask her to see a professional.
MichaelJune 30th, 2019 at 11:43 AM
Sleep issues. I rarely sleep through the night. My sleep is restless. A good night’s sleep is 5 hours. Don’t feel refreshed. Drugs not helpful. I don’t drink, smoke, or take drugs other than prescribed ones. My caffeine intake is low. I need personal guidance and not the usual stuff you get on PBS or in articles. I suspect my real issues are unclear to me.

How liberating is it to cut the cord? Extremely. And many, many people are doing what we just did~turning in their cable boxes. It won’t be long when cable companies are a thing of the past. Too many better, less gouging alternatives.
Friday March 13th we unplugged for good. Next week our TV finds a new living room. That’s okay. We’re already long-time public radio listeners. Despite human nature being very visual, hearing only voices, music, or some of our favorite radio shows, listening builds character. In the least, one becomes a better listener.
You’ve heard it before, “radio personality”. Our favorite personalities arrive in our living room or porch every Saturday and if we miss it, we can catch it Sunday~Prairie Home Companion. As Garrison Keillor’s proudly boasts, “I have the face for radio.”
In the mean time, we are awaiting delivery of our personal mobile hotspot~MiFi. For a fraction the cost of cable internet service, we now have WiFi access anywhere. And by the look of the overflowing cable box return slot at the local Comcast facility we are not trend setters but trend followers.
Guess that’s a good example of looking outside the box.

Lawrence's teacher-development bill sent to Owens for signature
DENVER - Rep. Joyce Lawrence's bill to set up a $2 million grant program for teacher-development training is on its way to Gov. Bill Owens.
Owens is sure to sign the Pueblo Republican's HB1173, because it is one of his four education-reform proposals this year.
The others are school report card legislation already signed into law, the Read to Achieve bill carried by Rep. Abel Tapia, D-Pueblo, and a school safety bill carried by Rep. Dorothy Gotlieb, D-Denver.
Under Lawrence's teacher-development bill, individual schools may apply for grants of $10,000 a year for two years.
The State Board of Education will award grants from a list recommended by a Teacher Development Advisory Council appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Colorado Senate.
Priority will be given to grant applications focusing on improving teacher skills in reading, writing and mathematics. The second year's $10,000 will depend on demonstrated improvement the first year.
Lawrence originally sought $4 million for grants, as requested by Owens, but accepted a Senate amendment paring them to $2 million a year - the money available in the state's new budget.
The Senate co-sponsor was Sen. Ken Arnold, R-Westminster, who also teamed with Gotlieb on the school safety bill, SB133, now pending in the House.
Meanwhile, Tapia said he expects his Senate co-sponsor, Rep. John Andrews, R-Englewood, to accept House amendments to the Read to Achieve bill, SB124.
Read to Achieve calls for $7 million in grants the first year for individual schools or groups of schools to set up summer, after-school and Saturday reading clinics for second- and third-graders who aren't up to grade level.
Another school bill, not part of the governor's reform proposals, is HB1219 by Rep. Richard Decker, R-Fountain, and Sen. Gigi Dennis, R-Pueblo West.
The Decker-Dennis bill, which cleared the House by a 64-0 vote Tuesday, would repeal a 1998 law, not yet implemented, that would require school districts to enter into written accreditation contracts with the State Board of Education.
School districts would continue to be accredited based on the state board's evaluation of the new school report cards, rather than on the local expectations written into contracts.
Dennis has a week to get the accreditation change through the Senate before the Legislature adjourns for the year on May 3.

So that's a wrap for the latest season 'Mass Production' in Steel Wars Royale. This season we seen landslide victories in order for someone to win the illustrious Champion of the Arena badge. The top 10 players have now been announced, sadly no-one at Steel Wars HQ made the cut!
It was a huge race to the number 1 spot with a nail-biting back and forth between blueghost & MaxStrateg001. Blueghost claimed victory with a whopping 42,047 trophies! MaxStrateg001 failing at the final hurdle with 40,741 trophies. Both smashing new records for the highest trophy counts in any season since Gathering Resources ended in February with I3L4CK gaining a whopping 30,051 trophies.
After the top 2 no-one came close with 3rd place from Chosen1 with 10,935 trophies. Here's a quick review of the top 10 players!
Builds / Meta
There's many ways to get to the top - more play time, strategy & build. Below we're going to run through the some of the top players builds of the season to understand what build was winning this season and is it something we learn from and do we expect game changes in the future based on this data!
How could we not start with the 1st place of Steel Wars Royale Mass Production season!
This build is simply, clever and effective. It's a speed build. Designed to get through that barrier in the faster time possible before the enemy adds bigger and overwhelming units. This build is weak and preys on the inability of players knowing how to counter it effectively. It works in a simple way. Bring in fast runners, use engines boost to get them moving faster, freezing laser to stop then enemy in it's tracks so they don't attack and finally utilise fireball if needed to shake that annoying enemy.
The only top players don't venture too much differently with MaxStrateg001 opting for the high powered DPS machine Core-X12 adding comfort to a similar build.
The standout difference in the top 10 would be Vendetta or T-Low instead of working on the speed approach settling for a more brute strength, high levelling power play. Let's check out I3L4CK's strong build which brought in 5,600 trophies this season.
So having not 1 but 3 units at max level is an impressive feat at such an early stage of this game. This is a player I wouldn't like to battle in a 1v1. Strong units and with a range of skills. The complete tank destroyer that is the Blazing Turret to the constant creation of level 13 Battle Drons constantly keeping you occupied. That's just the turrets! We then come to his units, the tanky-ish presence of Skorpion keeping enemies occupied whilst the likes of Sharp-Sh00t and Boomer take aim afar dealing heavy damage with Healbot close by to keep the tank going strong. This build has major MMORPG mechanic feels with the strong DPS and the healer/tank dynamic.
Let's now see what changes happen with balances and what the fight for the number 1 slot looks like this season! I anticipate a closer race to number 1 with a few players vying for the position.

10 Antique Sewing Machine Pictures
I am sharing a fun collection of Antique Sewing Machine Pictures. All are Black and White clipart. We have three beautiful antique sewing machines in fancy cabinets to start our assortment. Two of them have treadles. Next we have two amazing illustrations of old fashioned sewing machines. I would love to have one of these. Finally we have a lovely image of a woman at her sewing machine. I think you could use these to make some fun DIY Wall Decor for a Sewing or Craft Room!
Antique Sewing Machines in Cabinets
Featured above is the newest addition to this collection. This is such an unusual looking cabinet! It has quite a small tabletop with a single drawer along the side. The metal base is so decorative looking, with two tall Flowers on either side of it!
This illustration shows a machine that looks quite small, in relation to the table. The table has 4 small drawers and the cover for the machine appears to be sitting on the floor.
Here we have a cute little Advertising Trade Card, that shows a Domestic brand Machine in it’s lovely wooden cabinet.
What a fun Old Fashioned Sewing Machine Image above! This one was scanned from a rare Antique Printer’s book that dates to around Circa 1880′s. Shown above is a black and white image of an old time Sewing Machine. The Machine has 3 cute built in sewing drawers along the side and a wooden lid to cover it. I love the little floating hand that’s displaying the lid … so quirky!
Here is another fun Antique Sewing Machine Picture! This was also scanned from a rare Antique Printer’s book. Shown above is a black and white image of an old time Sewing Machine. The Machine has two built in sewing drawers along the side and a wooden cover over top of the machine.
Above is an interesting sewing machine from a 1920’s Catalog. Shown here is an Old Fashioned Sewing Machine and a Sewing Table/Cabinet to go with it. The feet are very interesting and large. The treadle is large. This one looks sturdy and made to last. So nifty and decorative
Women Sewing Images
Here we see a small woodcut image of a lady busily working away on some fabric. Perhaps it is some clothing for her, or a family member.
Antique Sewing Machines
This is a very pretty and classy Antique Sewing Machine graphic from an old Wanamaker’s Dept Store Catalog! There was no date on the catalog, but I’m guessing it dates around 1880 – 1890. Normally when you see these old Sewing Machines, they are black with gold on them. This one appears to have been light colored, perhaps white or ivory. So lovely!
Shown here is an Old Fashioned Sewing Machine from the 1920’s Catalog. Look at the detail shown here of the painted scrollwork and ornament on the machine body and the plate. It has the name “Carolina” across the top. I wonder if that is the maker or the name of the owner. Just beautiful!
I hope you enjoyed this curated collection. You might also like our 12+ Best Vintage Steampunk Images HERE!
Thank u so much for providing all these awesome graphics! I’m also lucky enough to own a sewing machine just like this one so Im thrilled to have these images..I plan on making mini scrapbook about sewing-thanks for all ur hard work!!
Anna of Halloween Night says
My mom has a sewing table that looks just like this! It’s been passed down mother to daughter in her family for years! 🙂
Judy at TOC says
Many thanks Karen..great for my scrapbook page for my grandmother
Thank you! Awesome!
Wonderful images……….thank you so much for sharing!
Christine Gant says
I learned to sew on a machine that looked like this. Once(when I was about 5 years old) I sewed a needle right through my finger and it just stuck there. My older sister heard me yelling, and grabbed the wheel and backed the needle out. It didn’t hurt as bad as it sounds. Overall, I have good memories of the old treadle sewing machine. I sure wasn’t happy when I took HomeEc in high school and had to use an electric sewing machine. It was too fast!
Becky Dunham says
These are gorgeous Karen! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
Simply AJ says
Thank you for sharing – I have the perfect idea for the sewing machine. Thanks for providing the inspiration 🙂
Loving today’s images – definitely one of my favourites to date.
Karen, thank you so much for all the lovely images you send our way! They are much appreciated.
Liz @ Shortbread & Ginger
Love this! Thanks! A great image to use to make something for my sewing sisters, Lou and Sally!
Joan V says
Thank you for the images.
Iowa Farmhouse Gatherings© from "The Sisters" at Iowa Farmhouse Goods™ says
Awesome, Karen! Thanks a bunch!
I love this! I just bought a mini sewing machine & “carolina” is so close to my name. Not sure what I will use this image for, but will be saving for the future!

Kenya's capital awaits! Before landing, window seat passengers may glimpse Nairobi National Park. The city's 73-square-mile (117 km) park's proximity is one of its many distinctive features. This large protected area is not a zoo but a happy, free-roaming animal sanctuary.
A private driver will take you from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to your hotel. Nairobi, Kenya's largest metropolis with over six million citizens, was founded in the late 19th century by British East African colonial authority as a Uganda Railway depot. The Maasai word Enkare Nairobi (cold water) refers to the city's Nairobi River.
Explore as you please the rest of the day. Rest or tour the city's produce and flea markets after the trip. Eat at a Kenyan restaurant to end the day.
Today's full-day capital adventure brings you close to Kenya's best wildlife. You're picked up early to avoid traffic to Nairobi National Park's main gate. Breakfast at a picnic location before entering the park. Wild creatures' unpredictability prevents exiting the car. Lions, buffaloes, zebras, rhinoceros, giraffes, gazelles, ostriches, and more can be seen from your car on a lucky day.
Around midday, you'll visit the Elephant Orphanage, which rescues orphaned elephants from poachers. Elephants return to the jungle when mature. The Giraffe Center protects the Rothschild's giraffe. Learn about the center's conservation efforts while feeding these adorable creatures. If time permits, walk the Gogo River Bird Sanctuary's route.
Return to your hotel late afternoon.
After breakfast in Nairobi, you'll be driven 45 minutes to a world-class coffee region. Fairview Estate, a gorgeous 100-acre coffee farm, is your destination.
The Riara River, fed by Kenyan highland streams, irrigates Fairview Estate, which is 5,741 feet (1,750 m) above sea level. Fairview Estate's fertile lands have produced high-quality coffee since the early 1900s using holistic production practices that address customers' environmental concerns. The two-hour guided tour will explain you how the estate grows and processes coffee. You'll also try some of the estate's famous products. You can buy fresh coffee to take home.
After the tour, drive to Kenya's central highlands and lodge near Lake Naivasha (54 miles/88 kilometers). The rest of the day is yours to explore Naivasha's freshwater lake, birds, rhinos, and non-predatory wildlife island.
Return to your hotel late afternoon.
You'll visit Elsamere, a center honoring George and Joy Adamson's lifelong dedication to Kenya's wildlife, this morning.
The pair is famous for raising and releasing an orphaned lioness. Born Free, a 1966 film about Elsa, was based on her book. Elsamere, the couple's residence, is now a conservation and field study center and museum for study groups and tourists. This tour is your chance to learn about the Adamsons and their animal reintroduction program.
After lunch at Elsamere, you'll visit Hell's Gate National Park, noted for its scenery and wildlife. The park's Maasai Culture Center teaches about Kenya's Maasai tribe.
Return to your Naivasha hotel for the night.
A one-hour boat excursion of Lake Naivasha, one of the Kenyan Rift Valley's freshwater lakes, follows breakfast. Birdwatchers love the region for its variety. Hippos are also likely to be seen as they swim repeatedly.
Then, goodbye Kenya! After the trip, proceed to Nairobi (65 miles/104 kilometers) to visit the Nairobi National Museum, which has a wealth of African history (time permitting). Transfer to the airport for your flight at the appointed time. Safe travels!
