My father James Vail served with the 93rd Armored Division, he was awarded the silver star and bronze star.
Leonard Valance .
Leonard Valance is commemorated on the WW2 Roll of Honour Plaque in the entrance of Jarrow Town Hall.
William Valance . Royal Air Force 460 Sqd.

Billy Vale . Home Guard Feltwell Btn.
Victor Arthur Vale . Royal Navy HMS Kashmir
My father, Victor Arthur Vale, served on HMS Kashmir when she was on convoy duty.
Thomas Henry "Val" Valentine . Royal Air Force from Oxenhilme, Kendal)
Thomas Henry Valentine was called up in early 1941, having been waiting on deferred service since late 1940, and joined the RAF as Wireless Operator ACl, No. 1517358.
After initial training he was sent to Egypt and was involved in the push through to Libya. Before long he returned to Egypt whence he was sent to Palestine for further training ready for the assault on the Greek islands as part of an Advanced Landing Ground Party. At the end of September 1943 he was flown to the island of Kos in a Dakota.
Sadly the invasion of Rhodes did not go according to plan and the Allies were unable to establish air supremacy over the area, with the result that the Germans counter attacked on 5th October, 1943. Kos is a very small island and (as my father put it) with "nowhere to run" the allied forces were largely captured within the week. They were held for a short time in the castle on Kos whilst awaiting transport to the mainland of Greece, where they were marched to Athens. Here my father temporarily lost contact with many of his comrades due to sickness and being confined to a series of hospitals.
Next followed a 14 day train journey to the Dulag Luft interrogation centre for RAF personnel, and finally the arrival at Stalag IVB in December 1943. His prisoner number was 263514.
LACW Daisy L.W. Vallis . Royal Canadian Air Force (Women's Division) from Devonshire, Bermuda)
(d.5th May 1946)
Leading Aircraftwoman Vallis was the daughter of Clive Valentine Selby and Edith Beatrice Vallis, of Devonshire, Bermuda.
She was 28 when she died and is buried in the Pembroke (St John) Churchyard in Bermuda.
Daisy Vallis was the only Bermudian woman killed as the result of WW2. She was killed on her way to be demobbed. She was a Leading Aircraftwoman of the Royal Canadian Air Force (Women's Division).
Cpl. Arie van . Dutch Army
PFC. Charles Edgar Van . United States Army H Coy. 310th Infantry Regiment from Somerville, New Jersey)
My uncle Charles "Ed" Van Lieu was a machine gunner in company H, 310 infantry regiment. A few days before the regiment helped take the bridge at Remagen, he and his assistant gunner were sent in a jeep to set up their gun in a town which was believed to have been abandoned by the German Army. On reaching the town they parked and were looking around for the best place to put their MG when a German 88 started to fire on them. A round landed well down the street, then started to move towards them. Uncle Charles thought there was a spotter somewhere directing it onto them.
They both broke for the nearest door, my uncle in front. It was locked. As they pressed on it, a shell hit the eaves of the building over their heads. A piece of shrapnel went through his assistant (killing him), then through my uncle's pack, and into his butt. At the same time he was blown through the door.
He awoke in a cellar with ersatz coal, and some stairs going up to a door into the house. He crawled over to the door, and heard someone on the other side. He drew his .45 and knocked. The door opened, and there in front of his face were German army jackboots. Without looking up, he fired his pistol, hitting the man between the eyes, and driving the German back, where he ended up sitting on the stove, dead. Then he saw the man must have been a deserter or invalided, because he was in civilian clothing except for the boots.
He awoke again sometime later being carried out to a jeep by medics. He was taken to an aid station in a low building, part of a farm. After his wound was given treatment, he was put onto a Weasel, a jeep-sized tracked vehicle with racks for six stretchers. As they drove away, a German 88 shell hit the aid station and destroyed it.
Then the shells were directed down the road after the Weasel. My uncle was on his stomach facing the rear, watching as the shells got closer... then the road turned, the shells went straight, and his adventures for the next several weeks were over.
Gerard Henri Marie Van . Dutch Army MW 2eKl from Holland)
Sgt. Hendrik Van . Royal Dutch Marines from Holland)
Cpl. Willem Van . Dutch Army from Holland)
F/O Willem Jacob van . Royal Canadian Air Force 10 Sqd. (d.10th Jun 1944)
Willem van Stockum is my mother's brother. He was the person who introduced my parents in 1932. He died in 1944 and my father told my mother "the wrong man came back", meaning that Willem was more important to her than he was, and that his bravery made him the one who deserved to come home. He was Dutch. A book has been written about Willem Time Bomber by an Army Major and pediatrician, Dr. Robert Wack.
A/Sqd.Ldr. Ralph Van Den Bok DFC.. Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve "B" Flight (CO) No. 214 (FMS) Sqdn from East Horsley, Surrey)
Further to my researches into the service career of this interesting and remarkable man, with whom my father flew a number of missions or "Ops" in 1944/45,I now have something approaching a proper "story".
Ralph Van Den Bok was born in London, in about 1907, of a Dutch father and Australian mother. After school, he attended Dulwich College, and by the outbreak of WW2, was working at the London Stock Exchange. In 1940,he applied to join the RAFVR, and was granted a commission as a Pilot Officer on Probation (July,1940). After training as a Wireless Operator/Air Gunner, Ralph joined No.408 (Goose) Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force, with whom he flew 30 Operations as a "Wireless Air Gunner ", to use RCAF parlance.
In August 1941, Ralph was "Gazetted" as a Flying Officer, and continued to serve with No.408 Sqdn, rising to become a leader , and so always flying with the Squadron Commanding Officer, Wing Commander John D Twigg, RCAF. In the summer of 1942, following a brave but unsuccessful attack on the German cruiser "Scharnhorst", and having exhibited outstanding devotion to operational flying, Ralph was awarded his first DFC (Gazetted August 1942, at which time he was also Gazetted as a Flight Lieutenant).
Within a few weeks, however, Ralph's aircraft, a Handley-Page Hampden, was shot down over Belgium, returning from a mission to bomb Saarbrucken, by Luftwaffe night-fighter "Ace" Hauptmann Wilhelm Herget in a JU 88. The pilot Wing Commander Twigg and the rear gunner, Flt/Lt Maitland DFC were killed, but Ralph and Flt/Lt Gordon Clayton Fisher, RCAF, baled out and after contacting Belgian esacape organisations , in Ralph's case "Comete" ,they returned to the UK. Ralph was then awarded a second DFC, Gazetted November 1942.
Ralph was then accepted for training as a pilot,and was sent to Hagersville, Ontario, Canada,where he was awarded his wings, aged 38. Returning to Britain, he joined No. 12 OTU at Chipping Warden, where he "crewed up" with my father, then Flt/Sgt John Mills RAFVR, who became Ralph's Wireless Op/Air Gunner, they first flew together in Wellington bombers in June 1944.
After further training in Stirlings of 1657 Conversion Unit, they became "operational" with No.214 (Federated Malay States) Squadron, which flew Radio Counter-Measures (radio/radar jamming) sorties using Boeing B 17 "Flying Fortress" aircraft, from RAF Oulton in Norfolk.
In January 1945, Ralph was promoted to Acting Squadron Leader,and became Commanding Officer of "B" Flight of No.214 Squadron.By the end of hostilities,in May 1945, Ralph had flown a further 17 "Operations",and had exhibited such qualities of leadership and devotion to duty that he was awarded his third DFC ,in October (Gazetted November 1945). He remained in the RAF,in the rank of Flight Lt. for many years after the war, resigning his commission (as a Sqd/Ldr) in the Reserve in 1955. After flying a Proctor for a while with Standard Oil (ESSO), Ralph was, sadly, badly hurt in the Lewisham Rail Disaster of 1957, losing a leg to gangrene. He died in Salisbury in 1976.
I am deeply indebted to Adrian Van Den Bok, in Australia,for all the information he has provided about the life of his admirable and inspirational father, without whose skill and professionalism I would not be here today to write this tribute.

(d.11th Jan 1943)
A E Van Den Bogeart, a Dutch national, served in the Royal Air Force with 320 (Netherlands) Squadron during WW2.
On the 11th January 1943 Hudson '863' of 320 Squadron was lost on a training flight over the Irish Sea.
It's crew members were:

- Off. F. Schut - Missing in Action.
- Cpl. B. Corporaal - Missing in Action.
- A.F. Post - Missing in Action.
Sqdn Ldr Ralph Van Den Bok DFC & 2Bar.. RAFVR 214 squadron
I am most interested in Squadron Leader Ralph Van Den Bok, DFC & 2Bar. RAFVR, as my father, Flying Officer John Tudor Mills (Wop/AG), flew on Ops with him in Boeing B17 F & G aircraft of 214 Sqdn, based at RAF Oulton, Norfolk, part of 100 group, during 1944/45. Records of the squadron's activities are somewhat sparse, in view of what they did (ECM etc). I have been quite unable to determine S/Ldr Van Den Bok's nationality, although I suspect that he might have been Canadian,as he was awarded his first DFC in 1942, as a Flying Officer, whilst operating with 408 (Goose) Squadron, RCAF (although he himself was RAFVR). From bits and pieces that I have managed to unearth, I gather that he was shot down by Flak at some point and escaped through Belgium, but I don't know the details. 3 DFC's is quite an achievement, he was awarded one of them for "Devotion to operational flying", or words to that effect. I would really like to find out more about him.
Van Den Burg . Royal Air Force No. 320 (Netherlands) Squadron RAF from Holland)
On 9th August 1944 a RAF plane, a Mitchell FR143 NO-S of 320 squadron, ditched at sea at 11:44 hrs (GMT)

- C.A.G. Pieters - WIA
- Sgt. Wams
- Sgt. Hoffman
All were saved by ASR Walrus
Sqd.Ldr Pieter Robert Marie van der Heijden . Royal Air Force 541 Squadron from Holland)
My Uncle, Squadron Leader Pieter Robert Marie van der Heijden was stationed at RAF Benson with the 541 Sqadron from 28/7/1940 until he was killed on a photo rec mission off the coast of Holland, year unknown. I would very much like to hear from anyone who knew my Uncle Pieter and any details of his fateful mission. I understand he had the reputation of being somewhat of a "maverick" amongst his conteporaires and was shot down whilst flying a mosquito on recon, as a result of low flying over his homeland.
Also anyone who may have known his younger brother, Johanus or "Johnnie" who was killed after the war, when his plane blew up during radar testing in July 1945
P. van Der Watt . from New Zealand)
J. Van Dijke . Royal air Force 320 Squadron (Netherlands) from Holland)
On 25th October 1943 a plane, a Mitchell FR166 of 320 squadron was hit by flak nr. Brest. It was ditched at sea at 14:47 hrs (GMT) at 49'40 N - 04'30 W.
Crew members were:
- J. Van Dijke - Captured by the Germans and became a POW
- H.A. Kaufman - Captured by the Germans and became a POW
- C. Schot - Captured by the Germans and became a POW

Sgt Carolus Ludovicus "Charles" van Heugten . Royal Air Force 320 Sqd. from Netherlands)
(d.22nd Nov 1942)
Carlus Ludovicus van Heugten was my wife's uncle. He was from a family of military pilots. His brother Fons was a military pilot in The Netherlands before the war and emigrated to Australia afterwards. His brother Willem, my father in law, got his training in the Netherlands in 1923 at 17 year of age from the first military instructor here, Versteegh. He later on moved to former East Indies (now Indonesia) to serve with the N.I. Navy Airforce. At the Japanese attack he moved to Australia via Broome and from there to the USA to join as flight instructor the Royal Netherlands Military Flying School in Jackson, Mississippi. He ended his carreer as airline pilot with KLM.
Sgt. Carolus Ludovicus Gerardus Van Heugten . Royal Air Force 320 Squadron (Netherlands) from Holland)
(d.21st Nov 1942)
On 21st November 1942 the Hudson EW903 of 320 Squadron was lost off the Dutch Coast.

Johannes Antonius "Joop" van Lunenburg . Dutch Army (d.24th Jan 1944)
Around 1999 I learned from an aunt that I was named after my uncle Joop, Johannes Antonius van Lunenburg as I have same initials. Until then uncle Joop has never been mentioned by neither his four brothers nor his two sisters. Before my mother died at the age of 92 she gave me a picture and an "in memoriam" of Uncle Joop. but no further story and from my side I asked no further questions. Surfing around the internet for my last name I came at the Institute of Genealogie in Holland and to my surprise I found a death certificate of my uncle made in Chech and German language more or less confirming what was on the "in memoriam" and the cause of death, blood poissoned because of etc. It also states that he was a Dutch soldier and in a firm handwriting there is STALAG XIA. In my opinion Stalag means POW camp but how does a dutch soldier get there and why has nobody ever talked about him. I have my thoughts but is it possible to get a story straight?
Leroy "Bud" Van Natta . US Army 634th AAA AW Battalion 106th Inf Division
My father, Leroy (Bud) Van Natta was captured during the battle of the bulge and sent to Stalag 4B, where he spent the remainder of the war. He was in the 634th AAA AW Battalion attached to the 106TH. He mentioned that they used to smuggle in cirgarettes into the camp in the sleeves of there coats. Once he mentioned that an SS Officers' son approached the fence and asked a prisoner for some gum and when the prisoner did not have any the Kid told the guards to shoot the prisoner which they did. If anyone remembers my Dad please let me know.
Hank van Strieland . Royal Air Force 320 Sqdn
My grandfather's brother flew Mitchell B25s from Biggin Hill, 320 Squadron. I have a photo of him leaning out of the cockpit window. His plane was called "The Bombing Bastard".

3China aviation thirty-three Department, Beijing, 100000, China
For the problem of long-distance oil and gas pipeline centerline measurement, a method of multi-sensor data fusion using the pipe centerline calculation is presented. The error model is set up by the system of navigation and nonlinear dynamic systems. Using the data of IMU and odometer to calculate the information of pig navigation. All of the errors were calculated by Kalman filter for estimation and compensation. It is concluded that the error for horizontal is 0.35m, the error for vertical is 0.74m for comparison of same pipeline centerline in different inspection time. One feature point is dug to verify the accuracy of the inspection which error is less than 1m. This method is effective for the buried pipeline to perform safely.

What to do with Native Seedlings after Winter Sowing
So, you’ve sown native plant seeds, but you aren’t sure what to do next. Follow along with this guide to learn how to care for your plants before moving them out to your garden! Planting native plant seeds either outdoors or indoors in winter is a great way to get a head start on the growing season and grow stunning plants to add to your native wildflower garden. But after sowing seeds over the winter to grow plants like milkweed, columbine and turtlehead, how exactly do you maintain your plants until they’re ready for transplanting? In the guide below, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to maintain wildflower seedlings indoors until they’re ready to be planted in your garden in spring!
Starting Seeds Outdoors
Most native plant seeds can be started in pots or milk jugs (click here for more information about this method) and put outdoors for the duration. If you use the outdoor method, the fluctuations of winter temperatures will condition—or stratify—the seeds, letting Mother Nature take charge. Make sure your pots are in a place where they can get rain (and snow), are out of the full sun, and are protected from rodents with window screening or hardware cloth if not sown in the jugs. Start checking on your seedlings at the end of April or beginning of May. If you are using milk jugs, you may want to open them up when temperatures hit the mid 50s so they don’t get too hot when they get some sun, but close them at night to protect from frost and keep moisture in. Once you see signs of germination you will need to be more vigilant about watering when rain is lacking.
Caring for Wildflower Seedlings Indoors
(appropriate for seeds that do not need conditioning, such as swamp milkweed)
After sowing, you’ll need to provide regular water and bright light to encourage germination. Some seeds may also germinate better with the addition of a heat mat. You can use a humidity dome to help seeds sprout faster, but this should be removed after germination occurs. Then follow the steps below to support wildflower seeds while they grow indoors.
After sowing wildflower seeds, it’s important to provide them with plenty of bright light to prevent leggy growth. Legginess is a common problem with plants started inside and it can result in plants with weak stems and poor growth...and you definitely don’t want that! If you added a grow light to your planting setup and have it on a timer to provide 18 hours per day, you’re probably providing enough light to seedlings to prevent legginess, but you may need to adjust the height of your grow light as seedlings develop. Grow lights should be about 2 to 4” above your plants at all times, but fast-growing seedlings can rapidly become too tall for lights. That’s why many grow lights are hung on chains, which can be easily raised to accommodate taller seedlings. If you notice seedlings are beginning to get leggy, you’ll want to act quickly and move your seedlings closer to a light source. When legginess is caught early, it is often reversible!
Beyond light, seedlings will need regular watering to grow properly. While you can water seedlings with different methods, bottom watering is usually the best choice, since it’s less likely to result in overwatering. To bottom water seedlings, add about 1” of water to a seedling tray and then place seedling pots into the tray and let them sit in the water for about 15 to 20 minutes. After this time, remove the plant pots from the water and allow the pots to drip dry before returning them to your grow room or seedling setup. This allows seedlings to absorb the amount of water that they need and keeps seeds from sitting in too much water, which can result in root rot. Bottom watering also allows you to easily apply fertilizer to seedlings. Simply add the diluted liquid fertilizer of your choice to the seedling tray when watering and let your plants do the rest!
Seeds contain nutrients that support the initial growth of seedlings, so it’s not necessary to add any extra fertilizer when planting wildflower seeds. However, after sprouting, plants can benefit from additional fertilizer to keep them growing strong and to prevent any potential nutrient deficiencies. If you used a seed starting mix with added fertilizer, you may not need to fertilize your seedlings while they’re growing indoors. But if you used a standard seed starting mix, fertilizer can be a good idea. However, you’ll want to wait until seedlings are about 3” tall and have several sets of “true leaves” before adding any fertilizer. When you’re ready to fertilize seedlings, opt for natural products, like kelp meal or fish emulsion, and select liquid fertilizers, which are easier for seedlings to absorb. To apply, simply dilute the fertilizer to the recommended strength and then apply it once a week or so as part of your regular watering regimen.
Since you need to water plants often as they develop, grow rooms can be quite humid places. But, when high humidity is combined with poor air flow, it can result in plant diseases, particularly damping off. This disease is caused by fungi that thrive in humid areas, and it can cause wildflower seedlings to wither and die en masse. To avoid issues with damping off, you may want to add a small fan to your grow room. The fan will increase air flow around your plants and the added movement from the fan will encourage seedlings to develop thicker and sturdier stems.
Thinning Out and Repotting Wildflower Seedlings
When wildflower seeds are a few inches tall and have several sets of true leaves, it’s time to think about transplanting into larger containers or into the garden. Unlike vegetable seedlings, native plants do not mind being crowded, so this is not as critical as with your garden plants. When you are ready and your seedlings have thickened stems and full-sized leaves, you can either gently tease seeds apart and repot them individually or you can snip off the weaker seedlings with scissors and just keep the seedlings with the strongest stems and best growth. Both of these tactics will work; however, you’ll need to be very gentle if you’re separating seedlings because their stems are very tender and break easily. Cutting off weak plants and just keeping the strongest seedlings can be a safer method since you won’t be disturbing the plants’ roots and you won’t accidentally break any seedlings stems with rough handling. Sometimes just breaking apart the root ball with several seedlings together is the easiest way to repot or plant out in the garden. Small clumps of the same species happen all the time in nature and do just fine.
Signs that you should repot your native plant seedlings include:
Plant roots are visible or coming out of the bottom of their pots.
Seedlings are at least twice the height of the pot they’re growing in.
Repotting will allow plants more soil space to develop healthier root systems, and it will also eliminate the chance that plants may develop deficiencies due to overcrowding. This is a great way to grow healthier plants and prepare them for eventually being transplanted into the garden.
Pots that are 3 to 4 inches in diameter are usually a good choice for repotting as they will give most plants enough room to grow until they’re ready for the garden.
Transplanting Wildflower Seedlings
After caring for plants while they are small, you can finally move your plants out into your garden. But hold that thought for a second! Wildflower and native plant seedlings that are started indoors are accustomed to a certain amount of light, water and a particular temperature. If you move plants outdoors too quickly or too early in spring, they may succumb to transplant shock, which can damage or kill them. To avoid this, you will need to harden off any seedlings started indoors to help them transition to life in the garden. Likewise, plants that you started outdoors will need to become accustomed to full sun if that is their intended location in the garden.
You should begin to transition your native plants to the garden after all danger of a hard frost has passed. In Maine, this is usually early to mid-May, but many will not be ready that soon. To acclimate seedlings raised indoors, take them outdoors on a warm day in spring and place them in a spot in your yard with dappled light. Leave them outside for about an hour or two and then bring them back inside. Over the course of the next week or two, repeat this process daily but gradually increase the amount of time your plants are outdoors. If your plants are going to be grown in a sunny area of your garden, also gradually increase the amount of sun that they’re exposed to until they can tolerate 6 to 8 hours of bright light. Once your plants can handle being outdoors for the better part of the day, they’re ready to transplant!
Tip: Moving plants indoors and outdoors can be a hassle, especially if you started a lot of seedlings inside. To make it easier, consider keeping your native plants in a wheelbarrow. This will make it much easier to wheel them outside during the day and then back into a sheltered garage in the evening!
To transplant seedlings, be sure to research how much light and moisture your particular plants need in order to select an appropriate planting location in your garden. If you used a plastic growing pot, carefully wiggle your plant free from the pot, being careful not to damage any roots or its tender stem.
When you’re ready to plant, dig a hole that is as deep as your plant’s pot and 2 to 3 times as wide. Amend the soil you removed from the hole with a bit of compost to inoculate the roots with microorganisms, then locate the plant in the planting hole so it is at the same depth that it was growing in its pot. After that, just backfill the hole with soil, firm the soil around your plant’s roots and then give your new native plant a good, deep drink of water to help it settle into your garden! Some native plants will do better if they are kept in their pots for an entire year before planting on their own in the garden. You will need to pay close attention and keep good records, so you can let others know exactly how you succeeded in growing so many beautiful native plants from seed.

A few weeks ago, Bitglass’ CMO Rich Campagna sat down with the CIO and CTO of Richard Fleischman & Associates (RFA) for our latest customer testimonial video. As a technology advising and consultancy group, RFA has spent over thirty years providing its clients with IT security tools that can protect sensitive financial data. In addition to protecting its own data in apps like Office 365, part of RFA’s search for cloud security was to identify a technology that its customers could use to protect their information as it moves off premises.
Naturally, RFA turned to Bitglass, the Next-Gen CASB. With smooth deployment, next-gen technology, and unparalleled customer support, RFA’s CIO quickly recognized the value of Bitglass’ solution. Together RFA and Bitglass have been rockin’ the CASB! Watch the video below.

CBS Sports – The First Responder Bowl between No. 25 Boise State and Boston College was canceled Wednesday due to severe weather in the area.
The game played at The Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, got underway Wednesday afternoon but was put into a weather delay with Boston College leading 7-0 with 5:08 in the first quarter. Lightning in the area caused the game to be delayed, and after a waiting period of nearly 90 minutes, officials got together and decided to cancel the game after peering at the local forecast. Thunderstorms and wind are expected to continue throughout the day and into the early morning hours, which ultimately made it impossible to attempt to get the postseason game in.
Even though Boston College led 7-0 at the time of the delay, the game was officially ruled a no contest, meaning neither team will be considered the winner or the loser, and any stats accumulated in the game do not count.
In the most minor league headline of all time, Boston College’s bowl game was postponed and then later cancelled with no plan to make up the game due to weather. I was really looking forward to the prestigious First Responder Bowl too.
It’s a shame too because I expected BC to get dusted by a Boise State team that I have not followed in years, yet still plays in the Mountain West so by default has to be better. Despite all that BC was leading 7-0 before the game was shut down so I guess we’ll never know. Welp only a few more days until real, actual college football games are back on TV. Until next season Eagles fans!

Figure 2 shows a cross section of a single cell of an alkaline battery (the nine
volt battery uses six series connected rectangular cells). The chemical reactions
that produce energy in the alkaline battery (e° is the electrochemical potential;
[s] is a solid material; [aq] is an aqueous solution; [l] is a liquid material) are:
Zn(s) + 2OH−(aq) → ZnO(s) + H2O(l) + 2e− [e° = - 1.28 V] anode reaction
2MnO2(s) + H2O(l) + 2e− → Mn2O3(s) + 2OH−(aq) [e° = +0.15 V] cathode reaction
Zn(s) + 2MnO2(s) ⇌ ZnO(s) + Mn2O3(s) [e° = 1.43 V] net reaction
When a battery is connected to a load, an electrical current is produced by
the voltage potential produced by the chemical reactions in Figure 2, as shown
in Figure 3. When current flows due to the battery’s chemical reactions, the
original chemicals (Zn(s) - solid zinc metal and MnO2(s) solid manganese oxide)
are no longer available for further reactions unless the battery is recharged.
Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is the source of the hydroxide ion (OH--) in the
alkaline battery (the potassium is not involved in the reaction; it
just brings along the hydroxide ion). Potassium hydroxide is related to sodium
hydroxide which we know as lye, which is used in some drain cleaners. Thus,
potassium hydroxide is highly corrosive to all of the metals in the battery (zinc
anode, steel can, and top and bottom caps). If the KOH corrodes through the
steel can, the electrolyte leaks out and ruins the device in which the battery is
In a battery which is sitting on the
shelf during storage, the potassium
hydroxide electrolyte continues
to react with the zinc anode and
manganese oxide cathode, so there
are less of them left to produce more
energy. As the anode and
cathode material are made inert by
these chemical reactions, the voltage
of the battery deceases. At some
point, the voltage of the battery is too
low to power our electronic devices
and needs to be disposed of in
compliance with local ordinances.
A battery not connected in a
circuit does not have a current as we
know it (there is an internal flow of
electrically charged atoms), so you
cannot calculate the current based on
the battery’s amp-hour rating. Self-discharge is really deterioration of the
energy producing internal components
of the battery. Figure 4 shows the
service life (time until the terminal
voltage is five volts) for the Duracell
MN1604 nine volt battery. For the
different load currents, I calculate the
amp-hour ratings as 250 mA - 2. 50,
100 mA - 0.32, and 50 mA - 0.43
which shows that the amp-hour rating
is dependent on the load current.
Battery service life is highly
dependent on the device it is
powering, the load current, ambient
temperature, and load cycling.

Re: Furnace Data Acquisition
#1 Hello, Tim! I enjoyed reading your reply to my comments
(Mailbag, February 2016) regarding furnace data acquisition.
Thank you for the nice words. I was impressed that you pointed
out to your readers that thermostats can differ markedly. In
addition to the terminals you mentioned, I have E, L, G1, and G2
terminals, although some are not connected.
With my electric heat pump system, I would definitely want
to also monitor contact closure for stage two, which signals the
addition of resistance heating coils on extremely cold nights. I
would like to contribute two more comments to the discussion
regarding your schematic shown in Figure A. Following the
recommendations given in the datasheet for the 7805 (ST
Microelectronics), I would definitely add .1 µF capacitors to
ground on the microcontroller side of the regulators. You do
not specify the value for C1 and C2, but I would assume you
were intending a substantial value electrolytic capacitor. I
might consider paralleling those with . 33 µF caps based on the
datasheet, but perhaps that would be unnecessary and wasteful.

Portsmouth keeper Craig MacGillivray honoured to receive Scotland call-up
Craig MacGillivray says it’s an honour to be handed his maiden Scotland call-up.
The Pompey keeper has been selected in Steve Clarke’s squad for their European Championships 2020 qualifiers against Russia (September 6) and Belgium (September 9) next month.
It’s reward for MacGillivray’s fine form since moving to Fratton Park from Shrewsbury on a free transfer last summer.
The 26-year-old has featured 61 times for Kenny Jackett’s side, recording 20 clean sheets.
There have long been shouts from supporters for MacGillivray to be included in Scotland’s set-up.
He told of his pride to receive international recognition – but insists he’s firmly focused on Pompey’s upcoming clashes against QPR and Blackpool.
MacGillivray wrote on Twitter: ‘It’s an absolute honour to be called up to represent my country for the first time! But first onto tomorrow and then Saturday!’

Wharton State Forest fire in New Jersey contained
CAMDEN -- A forest fire that has consumed more than 200 acres in southern New Jersey has been contained.
A state environmental department spokesman tells The Press of Atlantic City that the fire in Wharton State Forest in Waterford is 100 percent contained.
Larry Ragonese says it will take several more days to clean up.
The fire was spotted Thursday afternoon in the forest along the border of Camden and Atlantic counties. Flames didn't threaten any structures and no injuries have been reported.
Ragonese says aerial surveillance of the forest has shown some areas that haven't been touched by the fire. He says fire officials likely will authorize a controlled burn of those areas to remove any fuel for the fire.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Born Sinner is a decent body of work but it lacks originality on certain tracks. Cole sampled a lot of classic Hip-Hop artists throughout this album including The Notorious B.I.G., Outkast, A Tribe Called Quest and Nas.
Whether or not J. Cole let down Nas as his song suggested is debatable. But Cole’s use of samples may have let down many Hip-Hop fans because most of the samples used on this album are so similar to their original versions that J. Cole might-as-well have rhymed over their instrumentals.
It seems as if J. Cole spent so much time trying impress and mimic other rappers with this album that he lost his originality in the process. But overall Born Sinner is decent.

Sustainable Nutrient Removal With IFAS
With the AnoxKaldnes Hybas IFAS system, the City of Cocoa Beach, FL, met the challenges of tighter nutrient regulations, site constraints, and operating conditions. And the project met the city’s goals to meet these challenges with a simultaneous decrease in energy use. On top of that, the city did not need to increase operations time or staffing to meet these goals. With the AnoxKaldnes Hybas IFAS system, the city is now meeting stricter nutrient regulations – and doing it sustainably.

ABOUT NUTRIENT REMOVAL
About Nutrient Removal
Nutrient removal from wastewater consists of treating wastewater to remove nitrogen and phosphorus before it reenters natural waterways. High levels of nitrogen and phosphorus in wastewater cause eutrophication, a process where excess nutrients stimulate excessive plant growth such as algal blooms and cyanobacteria. The decomposition of the algae by bacteria uses up the oxygen in the water causing other organisms to die. This creates more organic matter for the bacteria to decompose. In addition, some algal blooms can produce toxins that contaminate drinking water supplies.
As authorized by the Clean Water Act, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program regulates point sources, such as municipal wastewater treatment plants, that discharge pollutants as effluent into the waters of the United States. In recent years, many of the States’ environmental bodies have lowered nutrient limits to arrest eutrophication. Maryland’s effort to protect the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal tributaries is perhaps the most notable example of nutrient removal in the US. Nutrient removal continues to be a growing area of focus for wastewater treatment throughout the world.
The removal of nitrogen and phosphorus require different nutrient removal processes. To remove nitrogen, the nitrogen is oxidized from ammonia to become nitrate through a process called nitrification. This process is then followed by denitrification where the nitrate is reduced to nitrogen gas which is released to the atmosphere and removed from the wastewater.
Nitrification is a two-step aerobic process which typically takes place in aeration tanks. Denitrification requires anoxic conditions to encourage the appropriate biological conditions to form. The activated sludge process is often used to reduce nitrate to nitrogen gas in anoxic or denitrification tanks.
Phosphorus can be removed biologically using polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs) which accumulate large quantities of phosphorus within their cells and separate it from treated water. Phosphorus removal can also be achieved by chemical removal. Once removed as sludge, phosphorus may be stored in a land fill. However, many municipalities and treatment facilities are looking to resell the biosolids for use in fertilizer.

Seaweed salad with green beans and cranberries is an alternative to the traditional vinaigrette and a good way to feed those family members who don’t like this product with wholesome sea cabbage. The dish turns out really delicious. Sweet potatoes and carrots, sour cranberries, a sharp onion, savory marinated gherkins and fresh greens are perfectly combined with kelp. I advise you not to be lazy and, instead of ready-made mayonnaise, quickly mix in a blender a sauce of high-quality olive oil and wine vinegar. This important finishing touch, like the cherry on the cake, will pleasantly complement your vegetarian salad. For the lean menu, prepare the sauce without egg yolk.
This is a winter salad, I cook it from quickly frozen asparagus beans and frozen cranberries so that there are a lot of healthy products in the winter menu.
- Cooking time: 20 minutes
- Servings: 3
Ingredients for seaweed salad with green beans and cranberries
- 250 g of boiled sea kale;
- 250 g frozen asparagus beans;
- 200 g of boiled potatoes;
- 150 g boiled carrots;
- 150 g Peking cabbage;
- 150 g pickled gherkins;
- 50 g green onions;
- 70 g cranberries.
- 50 g of extra virgin olive oil;
- raw chicken yolk;
- 5 g of sea salt;
- 10 ml of wine vinegar;
- 5 g of mustard.
A method of cooking seaweed salad with green beans and cranberries
Peeled boiled potatoes cut into small cubes, put in a deep salad bowl.
To the potatoes add peeled cabbage chopped into thin strips. Instead of Chinese cabbage, you can use any fresh salad - Romain, iceberg or regular leaf, the main thing is to add a touch of fresh greens.
Cut the boiled carrot into cubes of the same size as the potato. Put the carrot in a salad bowl, it will give the dish a little sweetness.
We blanch the frozen asparagus beans in salted boiling water for 4 minutes. We shift it into a bowl with ice water to stop the cooking process (the beans will remain bright green), then we throw it on a sieve.
Add blanched beans to the salad bowl.
Now we add a piquancy dish - put marinated pickled gherkins, cranberries and finely chopped green onions. Cranberries for this purpose will suit frozen, it must be left for 20-30 minutes at room temperature.
Last add boiled sea kale. You can cook boiled cabbage from dry seaweed yourself - soak the algae in cold water for several hours, wash thoroughly, drain in a colander, then put in a large saucepan, pour boiling water, cook for 30 minutes, add sea salt to taste.
Making salad dressing. Put the raw egg yolk into the blender, add the mustard, sea salt and wine vinegar. We mix the ingredients until the salt dissolves, then in a thin stream pour in high-quality olive oil of the first cold-pressed extra virgin variety, and do not turn off the mixer. The oil and other ingredients form a light thick emulsion - a delicious sauce dressing for vegetables.
Salad of seaweed with green beans and cranberries ready. Enjoy your meal!

It’s Washington D.C.’s time to take a turn at the craft beer movement. There’s been a lot of buzz lately over three promising new breweries inside the district, each potentially hold the promise of creating an identity for D.C. in the talented world of American microbreweries.
DC Brau, the first brewery to open within district lines in over fifty years, has rapidly climbed the ranks and is appearing in top restaurants and bars around the city. They’ve taken it upon themselves to sponsor an amendment to allow patrons to sample beers within the breweries. Before, it was illegal to taste and instead people could only buy beer from the breweries, this allows the microbrewers to offer samples while interacting with their customers in invaluable ways.
Two other promising district breweries are Chocolate City and 3 Stars, nicely adding to the scene in their own ways. Chocolate City is a small operation, filled with passion – the founder dreamed up the concept in his backyard and his partners come with great beer pedigree, previously working with large brewing heavyweights Flying Dog and Gordon Biersch. The men behind 3 Stars are not only building their D.C. business, but working with colleagues in Baltimore, MD to create “British-inspired” beers that collaborate with American brewing techniques to come up with flavors that will hopefully appeal to a wide audience.
A prevalent, and important, theme in D.C. is the support of locals within the community. Many restaurants, like Graffiato, take it upon themselves to represent local farms in their ingredients, and the same goes for the beer enthusiasts. John Andrade, of Meridian Pint – a craft beer pub – not only supports the efforts of the new D.C. microbreweries, but gives used 22 oz. bottles to local home brewers, reducing waste and encouraging others to create their own drinks.
Adding to the influx of local craft beer, a handful of well-regarded breweries have opened in Virginia, just outside D.C. Additionally, other popular American microbreweries will start shipping their wares to the D.C. metropolitan area, where they’ve been noticeably absent up until now.
In the district, residents never have to look far for an amazing restaurant boasting culinary clout and offering unique dining experiences. Great food and drink lie at the core of bringing people together in a city where their differences define them.

After 20 incredible seasons in the NHL, Detroit’s Nicklas Lidstrom called it a career in May. Citing a lack of “drive and motivation” for wanting to retire, there’s no doubting he goes down as one of the best defensemen of all time.
Consider: Lidstrom won the Norris Trophy seven times. He won the Conn Smythe Trophy in 2002 when a Red Wings team loaded with future Hall of Famers rolled the Carolina Hurricanes in five games for the Stanley Cup. Only five defensemen finished with more career points than his 1,216. Along the way he won Olympic gold and a world championship for Sweden.
In all, Lidstrom celebrated four Cups with Detroit, going from an under-appreciated second-pair defenseman during the team’s first title in 1997, to the captain of the team when it defeated Pittsburgh in 2008. The list of what he’s done throughout his career proves to be pretty lengthy.
Lidstrom’s departure, of course, left fans in Detroit feeling forlorn and wondering just what the team would do next without him. After all, not only did it leave a huge hole along the blue line but also a vacant captaincy.
For now (after failing to land Ryan Suter in free agency), the Red Wings have opted to fill Lidstrom’s absence by re-signing Kyle Quincey and adding Carlo Colaiacovo while hoping Niklas Kronwall can play a steadier game. Reality is, there’s no way to replace one of the greatest defensemen hockey’s seen.
New Jersey d-man Jon Merrill, who struggled through an injury-riddled campaign, has undergone successful shoulder surgery with an expected recovery time of four months, the club announced on Wednesday.
Merrill, 24, only appeared in 47 games this year, first missing time with an arm injury, then suffering a shoulder ailment late in the year.
There was no clear indication if the two ailments were related, but Merrill’s arm injury was on the right side, and surgery was on his right shoulder.
A former University of Michigan standout taken 38th overall in 2010, Merrill enjoyed solid rookie and sophomore campaigns in New Jersey. His second year was especially solid — 14 points in 66 games, averaging over 20 minutes per night — and he boasts good size, going 6-foot-3, 205 pounds.
Based on the four-month timetable for recovery, Merrill will likely miss parts of New Jersey’s training camp and preseason action.
After a 10-year career with over 700 games played and one Stanley Cup, Maxime Talbot could be done in the NHL.
Per RDS, Talbot — who’ll hit unrestricted free agency on July 1 — has “some options in Europe” for next season, and is contemplating a move overseas.
In his prime, Talbot was a gritty, hardworking forward with decent touch around the net. He scored double-digit goals four times, including a career-high 19 in ’11-12.
The 32-year-old split last season between Boston and its AHL affiliate in Providence, scoring seven points in 38 games at the NHL level.
Talbot did acquit himself very well with the P-Bruins — 21 points in 26 games — and has some experience playing abroad, having suited up for Finnish League club Ilves Tampere during the lockout.
Based on how things went last year in free agency, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Talbot land in Europe.
The likes of Maxim Lapierre, Curtis Glencross and Marcel Goc all failed to score NHL contracts last summer — Lapierre and Goc proceeded to sign overseas, while Glencross opted to retire.
Alpo Suhonen, who became the first European-born NHL coach in over 50 years upon taking the Chicago gig in 2000, has been named the new bench boss of the Austrian men’s national team, per IIHF.com.
Suhonen, 67, takes over from former NHL defenseman Dan Ratushny, who was splitting duties between Team Austria and Lausanne of the Swiss League.
Suhonen takes over the national team at a critical juncture. Austria finished a disappointing fourth at the 2016 World Hockey Championship Division 1 tournament — meaning the country finished 20th overall. As the IIHF websites notes, that’s the worst finish for Austria in 86 years of WHC competition.
Looking forward, Austria does have a chance to make amends this summer, when it will play a series of contests to prep for Olympic qualification.
Suhonen inherits a roster with decent NHL pedigree as Thomas Vanek, Michael Raffl and Michael Grabner are all eligible to participate.
That said, Vanek was named to Team Europe’s initial 16-man roster for the World Cup of Hockey, and it remains to be seen how that will impact his national team commitments.
Gennady Timchenko, the billionaire chairman of KHL club SKA Saint Petersburg, reportedly believes there’s a “good chance” that Pavel Datsyuk will be playing for his team next season.
But according to Datsyuk’s agent, Dan Milstein, there’s only been an offer from SKA. Nothing has been signed yet. There could still be offers from other KHL teams for his client to consider.
And at any rate, Milstein insisted once again that Datysuk won’t be making any decisions until he speaks with the Detroit Red Wings in mid-June, after the 37-year-old returns from a family vacation.
Milstein passed along that update to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press, plus a few other Wings reporters.

“Nobody said the USA was responsible for slavery. But for a long time, this country fully participated in it. In your mind slavery may have ended a long time ago. But in light of how old this country is. It hasn't been that long ago. You don't mention the contributions of blacks because you consider this a so called, "required performance". What the hell does that mean anyway? Yet because some blacks are great at singing and playing sports. Then that's considered greater accomplishment in your book, than overcoming almost 300 years of being slaves. That's some twisted logic you have there. You're not aware of how many blacks have been awarded medals in war or for being more than just responsible citizens because as far as your concerned that's a part of "required performance". Again. Whatever that means! And you've only been listening to them sing, or watch them play sports. Because it seems as far as you're concerned. That's all they're good at anyway.”
“What difference does it make where it originated? It was still a inhumane practice. Especially in a country that at the time that was supposed to be a democracy. It was a way of life for a lot of people in this country for 300 years.
And the next time you use an example of how far blacks have come in this country. Don't just use the names of entertainers and sports figures that you like. Use the names of black people that were war heroes, that participated in our political system. Some that became business owners and others that participated in all other parts of American life. There are many.”
klemon0320 on Dec 5, 2013 at 17:45:15
“The difference it makes is that I get tired of hearing people blame the USA for something that didn't start here and ended long ago. We have come a long way and still have a long way to go, but it will happen faster if you get that chip off your shoulder and stop being sensitive about being black. I can't do anything about my skin color and I can't do anything about yours either. We can't move forward if we keep looking backward.
I don't mention what I consider to be "required performance". I am not aware of any black war heroes that did anything that I would not have expected from a person of any race in the military service of my country. I do not know how many blacks have been awarded the CMH. As far as political service, I have a rather low opinion of most politicians of any race. Business owners? Well, people of all races are expected to earn a liviing. Of cource they participated. They are expected to participate. I singled out people whose contribution I thought was special the others are just average joes just like me.”
“Yeah Boehner. After decades of demeaning women, and doing your best to not allow women in this country to have decent healthcare and control over their own bodies.
Just a few counceling sessions on how to talk to women should be enough to get them on your side. Yeah, that should work!”
“Racism does exist in all races. But when one race has political and economic power over a particular race or races. The racism becomes institutionalized. Such as using slavery as an industry.”
klemon0320 on Dec 4, 2013 at 22:19:03
“We both know what slavery was, and we both know that slavery no longer exists in this country. Although the United States of America was guilty of participating in the institution of slavery, it was not our invention. It existed before there was a USA, It existed before there were colonies on this continent. We are all left with the mess to try to clean up. I know we have a long way to go, but we have made progress. In my life time, Blacks have been integrated into professional sports. Who could imagine sports without the black superstars of today? Who could imagine music without the contribution made by blacks? Little by little the black race is taking it's rightful place as an equal. Although slavery was an ugly thing, I think it would have been terrible if Michael Jordan had been born in Africa, or Ray Charles, or thousands of others. I thank God they were born here, but it's sad how they came to be born here.”
“Well at least you admitted racism has been committed in this country. That's a start I guess.”
klemon0320 on Dec 1, 2013 at 22:31:20
“Yes, racism exists in whites and in blacks and probably in all races. Racial preference is different from racism. I think people of all races prefer to associate with people with whom they have more in common. Racial hatred is an ugly thing but it does exist and not just in whites.”
“How is it that the least intelligent people in the republican party always seem to question the president's intelligence?”
RootsWings on Dec 1, 2013 at 17:17:09
“Good question. Your question should be followed by the statement that people who themselves are incompetent, by their very nature, are incapable of recognizing it. By extension, if they are unable to recognize their own incompetence, how could they possibly comprehend someone of great intelligence and competence? Frankly, due to his rigid dogmatism, I question Santorum's sanity.”
“So the ACA website is much improved so that the citizens of this country can get decent healthcare?
The republican party is not gonna stand for this at all!”
Nate Terrell on Dec 1, 2013 at 18:58:11
“Absolutely, the republicans would be happy if everyone except rich, straight, white, men was living in poverty with no health care. As long as the 1% at the top are happy, they are happy. The downside is that they will never win another national election unless they begin to care about the rest of the country and develop some ideas to help them out!”
“This kind of rhetoric from the republicans about President Obama is not even surprising anymore.
Just wait a little while. Someone else in their party will say something worse. As long as the media condones it by giving it little, or any coverage. This kind of vitriol from the republicans will continue.”
“If you're going to put this solely in legal terms. Then I guess all employees at WalMart should just stand by, or call security and wait until they get there to solve the matter. Here's a hypothetical for you. What if one of the people getting assaulted on WalMart property is the manager of the store or even another WalMart employee? Should that employee just call someone or intervene? Also. What WalMart does in other areas may be irrelevant to a discussion of liability. But it also points to how little WalMart thinks of it's employees. To fire someone for helping one of their customers? Come on now.”
msbeal on Oct 20, 2013 at 01:20:08
“We not discussing what people SHOULD do. We're discussing what is an employer's legal liability for the unauthorized actions of their employees. They can go out there and play hero but Wall Mart has the right to dismiss someone for not following company policy, assuming it's well published. What if it were a grandpa and grandma grocery store and some minimum wage late night clerk goes outside and tackles a suspected shoplifter by mistake, against the store's policy, and racks up a million in medical bills. Should grandpa and grandma lose their store and their entire life savings because of this?”
“You're talking about a multibillion dollar company that takes out insurance policies on it's employees without them even knowing it.
Also. So the employees are supposed to just stand by or just walk away if they see a WalMart customer being assaulted on WalMart property? Really?”
msbeal on Oct 18, 2013 at 17:40:02
“I'm not defending Wall Mart per se. You tell me the answer. Is Wall Mart liable for the actions of their employees who assumes a role they're neither trained, equipped or required to handle?
What if that employee got killed or that woman. Would Wall Mart be liable for those deaths? I believe there is a line that when people cross it, they're on their own time and no one is liable for their actions except that person.
What if an employee walked out back and committed suicide, or mugged someone and there was no evidence that Wall Mart could have predicted this behavior in this person?
Wall Mart could have some contributory negligence in this matter - poor lighting, poor customer security, etc.
BTW, what Wall Mart does in other areas is irrelevant to this discussion of liability. Also, I suspect store policy is to contact the security personnel immediately.”
“Yeah Mike. I'm sure most of the folks in Illinois would have elected you as senator in a landslide. And if you ran for president, I'm sure most of the people in the country would have voted you in as president!

Unless you’re living under a rock, by this point you’ve seen Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins looking good for wins. You may not know that instead of buying chains of his own, he decided to invest in weed instead.
No, Kirk Cousins didn’t get into the marijuana business, but he now owns a golf course. If there’s something that’s gotten the talking point over the past few offseasons, it’s how much money Cousins is making. The Vikings invested a sizable chunk of their cap spot in the franchise quarterback, and after all, he must have had something to do with it.
According to Golf Digest, Kirk and his wife, Julie, bought Saugatuck’s Clearbrook Golf Course in Michigan. Cousins played his college football at Michigan State in East Lansing, about an hour and a half west of the field. Located on Lake Michigan, Clearbrook offers spectacular views throughout the loop.
The course was not bought to change what is already going on there and the family released a statement saying: “Our family recently bought Clearbrook Golf Course from our friends and longtime owners, Jim and Candy Jetelema , Bought. They have managed the course for many years and make Clearbrook a place of connection and fun for our entire community.”
I’m sure Cousins, like many pro athletes, finds plenty of time to golf during the off-season. Minnesota has many fine golf courses, and it seems the cousins also have an affinity for this particular Michigan golf course. I have no idea what kind of positive or negative financial investment a golf course can be, but the land itself should undoubtedly appreciate in value.
Give it to cousins. While decked out in expensive ice soaring ten thousand feet after the Vikings’ seven victories that year, he took a more conventional approach to spending his money. Here’s hoping that after a successful end to the Minnesota season, he can make it to his new golf course sometime in 2023 with a nice popping Super Bowl ring.
Ted Schwerzler is a Twin Cities blogger focused on all things Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Vikings. He is active Twitter and writes weekly for Daily twins. As a former collegiate athlete and avid sports fan, it always seemed like a natural outlet to bring passion to our pro teams.

Edward Steichen (1879–1973), George Bernard Shaw, ‘The Photographer’s Best Model’, London, 1907. Gelatin silver print, probably printed 1950s, 9 x 7 in. (22.9 x 17.8 cm.). Estimate: £5,000–7,000
Edward Steichen was one of the most significant photographers of the 20th century. Working alongside Alfred Stieglitz he produced pictorialist images for the pages of Camera Work in the early 1900s, made a name for himself as the highest paid fashion photographer of the 20th century working for Condé Nast then later became director of the Photography department at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He was also a first class portrait photographer, capturing iconic figures in politics, literature, journalism, dance and theatre. This work, depicting the playwright George Bernard Shaw, is among my favourite portraits in the sale. A 1950s print on single weight paper, the photograph itself is incredibly delicate, standing in contrast to the heavy, charged atmosphere Steichen creates through his use of shadow and light.
Robert Frank (b. 1924), London, 1951. Gelatin silver print, 10 7/8 x 13 7/8 in. (27.7 x 35.4 cm.). Estimate: £30,000–40,000
Robert Frank is best known for his seminal work The Americans which had a profound impact on the history of photography. I am a great fan of his work and am delighted that we are presenting an image taken in London in this sale. For me, this photograph reflects the influence of the great British photographer Bill Brandt on Frank. The pair met in the early 1950s and shared an appreciation of the nuances of muted light for creating atmosphere. This work is also a fine example of Frank’s ability to find beauty and narrative in the most ordinary moments, something for which Brandt was also famous.
George Tice (b. 1938), Petit’s Mobil Gas Station, Cherry Hill, New Jersey, 1974. Gelatin silver print, printed later, flush-mounted on board, mounted on board, 14 7/8 x 19 in. (37.8 x 48.2 cm.). Estimate: £6,000–8,000
We are delighted to be presenting works by George Tice for the first time in a London Photographs auction. Tice was attracted in his work to the American landscape on the verge of extinction, both rural and urban. In 1960 he began using a large format camera which enabled him to capture these scenes in more detail, creating images of great clarity and beauty. Tice is a master printer having printed for Edward Steichen, Frederick H. Evans and Edward Weston, and this example is a testament to the impeccable quality of his work.
McDermott & McGough (b. 1952 and 1958) Deprived of Head and Limbs, 1995. Two-colour photogravure, 20 x 25 1/8 in. (50.8 x 63.8 cm.). Estimate: £3,000–5,000
What is interesting about artistic duo David McDermott and Peter McGough is their use of alternative historical processes in their photography, in particular 19th century techniques such as cyanotype, gum bichromate, platinum and photogravure. These processes, which are used less and less in modern printing, call for a very hands-on approach, establishing a close relationship between the artist and the print.
Irving Penn (1917–2009), Nude, No. 40, 1949–50. Gelatin silver print, 20 x 15 7/8 in. (50.8 x 40.3 cm.). Estimate: £15,000–20,000
One of my chosen lots from the sale is this nude study by Irving Penn. Penn was one of the most prolific photographers. In his long career he explored countless themes including fashion, beauty, portraiture and still life. This nude is quite distinct from the other portraits in Penn’s series which feature more distorted, full-bodied forms. What draws me to this image is that it is both intimate and respectable, sensual rather than erotic, and of course beautiful: a quintessential Penn photograph.
Marcello Geppetti (1933–1998), Elizabeth Taylor taking a break from filming Cleopatra, 1961. Ferrotyped gelatin silver print, 9 3/8 x 7 1/8 in. (23.8 x 18.1 cm.). Estimate: £1,500–2,500
The 1950s and 1960s represent a golden era in Italian film. Owing to the relatively low cost of making films at the Cinecittà studios in Rome, stars such as Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, John Wayne and Charlton Heston flocked there to work with key Italian directors. These icons of the silver screen were followed around the city by a group of photographers capturing their off-duty shenanigans, which inspired Federico Fellini to create the character of the news photographer Paparazzo in the film La Dolce Vita. Marcello Geppetti is notable among this group of photojournalists. This work is a glorious example, with its credit and agency stamps, of a press print being used to distribute images to national and international newspapers, paving the way for the cult of celebrity in modern media.

Favorite thing: The visit to Mt Fuji and Hakone was part of a weeks stay with friends in Tokyo. Unfortunately I cannot recommend any hotels in the area but there are a number of western styled ones. We drove down from Tokyo, passing through Yokohama.
Fondest memory: The view of Fuji coming into sight from still a great distance away was awesome. Its one of those experiences where during your life you see photos of places and things and then all of a sudden you find yourself in their actual presence being very humbled by it.
Favorite thing: In Izu Peninsula we went to visit the wonderful land scape until visiting the Fuji-san, mount Fuji sightseenig place. This place is also close to Hakone, where the Fuji-san tour starts.
We went to the south of this big peninsula, by toll roads, with landscapes so perfect and waterfalls, the washabi plantation and the museum of the washabi, the spicy ingredient of the sushi.
- Family Travel
Favorite thing: The Fuji-san is just beautiful. But you have to be lucky to see it.
We planned a day to go there and the officer said that we should not go as there was too much fog around. We could actually not even see the mountain.
If you believe or not, I could even not catch a picture of the Fuji-san entirely on the picture...
- Adventure Travel
Favorite thing: Hakone Komagatake Ropeway...... Komagatake, the central volcanic cone of the Hakone range ,rises 1,327 meters above sea level. An 1,800 meter long aerial tramway operates between Hakone Park and the summet. The ride will take seven minutes to reach the top. You can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Ashi and the surrounding mountains. On a clear day you can see a wonderful view of Mt Fuji. When on the top of Mt Komagatake you can wonder around. A path leads you to a lonely little temple. Back down at the bottom you will have time to do a little shopping at the mio-mall. There is a small resort here with hotels, restaurants and other activities.
Favorite thing: LAKE ASHI.... Believe it or not, three of the boats plying the waters are look like pirate ships. A lot of people think this is what they are supposed to be, but in actuality they are replicas of Dutch and Portuguese galleons. It takes about half an hour to cross the lake to Hakone-machi (also called simply Hakone; machi means city) and Moto-Hakone, two resort towns right next to each other on the southern edge of the lake. This end of the lake affords the best view of Mt. Fuji,
Favorite thing: If you are in the Mt Fuji area for a few days and want to get away from the beauty of the scenery. Why not spend a few hours screaming your head off at the Fujikyu Highland Amusement Park .A giant among amusement parks, Fujikyu Highland's many attractions include plenty of scary rides.
Newer attractions 'FUJIYAMA' one of the world's largest roller coasters.
