We all know that streaming is a very fun hobby that can often lead to becoming your main source of income if you amass a wide enough audience. Most streamers have some sort of PC setup where they connect all of their relevant hardware so they can stream anything from one spot.
This reduces the hassle of managing multiple systems if you want to play different games. Having a high-end streaming PC can be a bit daunting for new streamers, and we are here to answer some of your questions regarding the necessary hardware for a successful streaming career.
What Is Twitch?
Twitch is the most popular streaming platform currently available. The platform has been a long-standing staple in streaming culture for years as it is very accessible to anyone who wants to start a streaming career playing games or doing anything else. We say career because content creators can earn tips through the community side of Twitch. The most popular users earn upwards of one million dollars just through loyal subscribers.
Do You Need A PC To Stream On Twitch?
The answer is no. While it is preferable to stream video games on your PC, if you have access to one, many gaming systems are compatible with direct streaming to Twitch, so you can just turn on your console and go live.
Likewise, you do not need to play video games to stream on Twitch at all, since there are many streamers that focus on the Just Chatting section, as well as others that like to broadcast their hobbies to their audience.
What Are The Alternatives For A PC For Streaming?
If you notice that the way you play games on your consoles might be entertaining for other people to watch, you can start streaming directly from your console to Twitch. The consoles/devices that support direct Twitch streaming are Playstation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Android/iOS, Chromecast, Nvidia Shield, and Fire TV. If you want to try out Xbox streaming, you’re going to want the best setup you can get.
Is It Better To Stream On PC Or Console?
When you look at the technical side of things, PC streaming is better without a doubt. This is mostly due to the ease of managing your community and all of the facets of your channel. When you have a solid PC, you can have a battle station capable of streaming, gaming, editing, moderating, and anything else that could come to mind.
Does It Cost Money To Stream On Twitch?
Absolutely not. Provided you have a capable system that can handle both streaming and managing the content you want to broadcast, you can just create an account and start streaming immediately. This is the main reason Twitch is such a popular platform – accessibility.
Now you have all of the info you need to start streaming on Twitch if you’re interested in that. As you can see, we live in a time where ease of access is paramount for the entertainment industry, and that is perfect for new creators. We sincerely hope that your questions have been answered!

What is the ultimate penalty in Norwegian law? Who is sentenced to serve the ultimate penalty in Norway? What is it like to serve the ultimate penalty in Norway? The aim of ULTPEN is to address these questions to provide the first comprehensive assessment of the use and impact of indefinite preventive detention (or forvaring) the ultimate penalty in Norway.
To address the first question, the researchers will carry out a detailed study of legal and policy documents about the use of forvaring in Norway. Court judgments, reports from government agencies, scholarly publications and newspaper articles on this type of punishment will be analysed to provide a critical overview of how the forvaring system has developed, and what it means in practice.
To address the second question, a national database of all forvaring prisoners will be constructed. There will be information on the characteristics of individuals sentenced to forvaring since it started in 2002. Data will also be collected on individuals who have been reconvicted after their release into the community.
To address the final question, interviews will be conducted with forvaring prisoners. These will provide a unique perspective on the experiences of individuals subject to forvaring and the impact of this type of penalty. Participants will be invited to 'tell their own story' and reflect on conditions of confinement, strategies for coping, daily routines, relationships inside and outside of prison and future expectations.
ULTPEN will be the first national study on the implementation and impact of the ultimate penalty in Norway. The findings will be compared against international trends on life imprisonment to assess the extent to which forvaring is an exceptional response to individuals who commit serious crimes. In sum, ULTPEN will 'open the black box' on the realities of serving indefinite detention and provide a step-change in knowledge about the development, use and impact of the ultimate penalty in Norway.
Indefinite preventive detention – or forvaring – is the ultimate penalty in Norwegian law. Introduced in 2002, the sanction is both punitive – it provides punishment (a term of imprisonment) for the offence, and preventive – it keeps the offender away from society as long as they are deemed to be a risk to the public. The use of forvaring has increased over recent years, and the forvaring prison population has grown from 21 prisoners in 2002 to 132 in January 2020. Furthermore, international interest in the use of forvaring as the ultimate sanction in Norway has escalated since the sentencing in 2012 of the mass murderer Anders Breivik. Yet there has been no comprehensive study on the implementation and impact of this type of ultimate penalty. The ULTPEN project aims to address this gap and break new theoretical and empirical ground. It will be the first national study to assess the implementation and impact of forvaring on the entire population subject to the penalty, using a multi-method and inter-disciplinary approach. It will examine the historical rise and policy development of preventive detention in Norway. It will provide the first national overview of the characteristics of all individuals who have been subject to forvaring, and follow up trends over time such as the reconviction rates of individuals who have been released. Of major import, it will examine the lived reality of this type of sanction by carrying out in-depth interviews with forvaring prisoners, seeking to understand as far as possible first-hand stories and experiences of individuals who have been sentenced to serve indefinite preventive detention. Key findings from the study will be assessed against international trends and practice on long-term and life imprisonment. ULTPEN will therefore make a new and major contribution to our theoretical knowledge and empirical understanding about the evolution, practice and impact of the ultimate penalty in Norway.

The symptoms of an anxiety attack - also called a panic attack - come on suddenly and feel very alarming and frightening. In panic disorder, unexpected panic attacks happen out of the blue, in the absence of any apparent trigger.
For one thing, the thoughts that cross your mind during a panic or anxiety attack can feel unreal, illogical, and out of character. And the physical symptoms of panic and anxiety - like a pounding pulse, chest pain, shortness of breath, sweating, trembling, or dizziness - may get you thinking the worst. You may rush to the emergency room fearful that you're sick, having a heart attack, or dying.
Luckily, in most cases, anxiety falls into the category of "its bark is much worse than its bite." What's often happening is that the mind gets caught up in a process called somatization. The word somatization comes from the Greek for "body" and basically means that the mind transforms emotions into physical symptoms.
According to research, our minds tend to transform emotions into a few main categories of physical symptoms.
- Ever had a tension headache? When anxious, you may be more likely to clench your fists, tense your jaw, or furrow your brow. The tension in the muscles can lead to headaches and backaches, chest pain, shortness of breath, and hyperventilation.
- Ever felt a wave of nervous nausea? Anxiety can make the smooth muscles that line your intestines and stomach go into spasm, triggering abdominal cramps, nausea, heartburn, or diarrhea. And the smooth, tiny muscles inside of the blood vessels can spasm, too, causing migraines and spiking blood pressure.
- Ever felt faint? During times of high anxiety, your senses can become overwhelmed. Your breathing becomes shallow and fast, leading to hyperventilation and feeling like you are about to faint. However, fainting during a panic attack would require a drop in blood pressure, which is quite the opposite to what is actually going on. The stimulation of your body by the "fight or flight" hormones actually causes a rise in blood pressure.
Many of the symptoms mentioned are common during panic attacks and could be easily mistaken for something more serious - especially when you're distressed and unsure about what's happening to you.
That being said, sometimes symptoms are serious and do require emergency medical attention. If you are unsure whether your symptoms stem from anxiety and panic or from an underlying physical problem, do not hesitate to seek medical attention.

In the world of K-pop, I'm learning just now that a fan should never say never. I seriously thought I would never be able to add a new group to stan on my list… but boy, am I proven wrong time and time again! Add the fact that their song is one of the trending ones in both Instagram Reels and TikTok, it's really hard not to get curious about K-pop's newest stars: TREASURE.
I'm definitely a newbie Treasure Maker (the name of their fandom), and I'm happy to get to know these boys a lot better. And if you're also jumping in on the TREASURE trail just now…
Here are seven things to know about TREASURE:
1. TREASURE was formed through the reality survival program, YG Treasure Box.
As the nature of the program suggests, YG Treasure Box is a reality show that aimed to produce YG Entertainment's newest boyband. The show ran from November 2018 to January 2019, with 29 hopefuls vying to become the next biggest K-pop idols.
In the end, seven out of 29 were selected to become members of TREASURE. A couple of days later, six boys from the same group of hopefuls were selected to become members of another new group called MAGNUM. All 13 members will debut initially under a group called TREASURE 13. However, they will also be promoting as TREASURE and MAGNUM separately.
2. TREASURE debuted on August 7, 2020
It took more than a year after winning YG Treasure Box for the boys to finally make their debut. In the end, the two groups were merged into one group and, thus, TREASURE debuted in August of 2020. The group is composed of eight Korean and four Japanese members, namely Choi Hyun Suk, Park Ji Hoon, Kim Jun Kyu, Yoon Jae Hyuk, Bang Ye Dam, Kim Do Young, Park Jeong Woo, So Jung Hwan, Kanemoto Yoshinori (Yoshi), Takata Mashiho (Mashiho), Hamada Asahi (Asahi), and Watanabe Haruto (Haruto). The group initially had 13 members but Ha Yoon Bin decided to leave the band to pursue a solo career.
The 12-member boy band, YG's first since 2015, released their first-ever album, The First Step: Chapter One. Even before its release, YG announced that pre-orders for the album had already reached 150,000, a record-breaking and history-making number for the company. Their debut single, "Boy," also proved to be a hit track! The song, which credits Hyun Suk and Haruto as co-writers of its lyrics, reached the top spot on the iTunes Top Songs charts in 19 different countries in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The "Boy" MV also reached six million YouTube views in less than a day since its release. Talk about worldwide influence when they're just getting started!
3. TREASURE released three more albums under the First series.
Following the success of their debut album, TREASURE showed no signs of stopping. During their debut year, the boys released two follow-up albums: The First Step: Chapter Two in September 2020 and The First Step: Chapter Three in November 2020.
Fresh from the oven, "I Love You," The First Step: Chapter Two’s title track immediately soared to the top of the iTunes Top Songs charts. Their third lead single, "Mmm," followed the same chart-topping fate, hitting the number one spot in the iTunes Top Songs charts in eight countries, including the Philippines. It also topped Japan's Line Music’s and Rakuten Music's rankings.
The First series culminated with the release of their first studio album, The First Chapter: Treasure Effect, in January of 2021. The album is released in both digital and physical formats, with the former having 10 tracks in total while the latter has 12. Both versions contain the title tracks from the previous three albums, as well as additional songs that showcase the boys' wide range of musical styles. The studio album also includes, "My Treasure," whose lyrics were co-written by Hyun Suk, Yoshi, and Haruto.
Five months since their debut and with four chart-topping albums under their belts, TREASURE has already sold a million albums and is clearly on their way to global domination.
4. TREASURE won numerous rookie awards in the year of their debut.
Proving their status as a force to be reckoned with, TREASURE took home several awards in 2020 alone from some of the industry's biggest award-giving bodies. This includes, but are not limited to, the Rookie Award at the 2020 Asia Artist Award; the 19th Korea First Brand Awards; the 35th Golden Disc Awards; and the 30th Seoul Music Awards. They also took home the Best New Male Artist trophy at the 2020 Mnet Asian Music Awards, and also made it to their Top 10 list of Worldwide Fans' Choice.
5. TREASURE made their Japanese debut in March 2021.
TREASURE's popularity knows no bounds. Not only are the boys popular in their home country—they are also a huge hit in the Land of the Rising Sun! In fact, the boys are so popular there that even before their official Japanese debut on March 31, 2021, the Japanese version of "Boy" has already clinched the top spot of Line Music's weekly Top 100 chart.
The boys' first full Japanese album is The First Step: Treasure Effect, which contains the same 12 songs from their Korean album. TREASURE also had the privilege of recording "Beautiful," which is the theme song of the animé, Black Clover, and is also included in their debut Japanese album. Following its release, the album quickly rose to the top of Line Music's Top 100 charts, Rakuten Music, and even Oricon.
6. TREASURE held their first fan meeting and starred in their own web dramas in 2021, too!
2021 proved to be another busy and successful year for the group. Following the release of their first studio album as well as their Japanese debut, TREASURE finally got the chance to meet their Treasure Makers through their first fan meeting, TEU-DAY. The two-hour event happened in October 2021 where the boys got to perform in front of an online and live audience.
But not only are the boys talented in singing and dancing—they have acting chops, too. The TREASURE members starred in the eight-episode supernatural thriller, The Mysterious Class, which aired on their official YouTube channel. The web drama is about a group of students from Boseok Boys' High School who are trying to figure out who among them is an actual ghost.
Capping off an eventful and fruitful year, TREASURE was again recognized as one of the Top 10 bands for the Worldwide Fans' Choice award at the 2021 Mnet Asian Music Awards.
7. TREASURE released their first EP in February 2022.
TREASURE's latest project is their first EP, The Second Step: Chapter One. This new album proved to be highly anticipated (and understandably so) since their last releases were in January 2021 in South Korea, and March 2021 in Japan. The anticipation reflected in the unbelievable volume of the EP's sales: Hanteo reported that the album sold 540,000 copies in its first week of release alone! The Second Step: Chapter One also proved to be a hit internationally as it placed number one on the iTunes Top Album charts in about 30 countries! The title track, "Jikjin," is another TREASURE hit, too, earning the boys their first-ever music show trophy from Show Champion.
The B-side track "Darari," which is a song co-written by Ye Dam, Hyun Suk, Yoshi, and Haruto, is also another fan favorite, especially in the TikTok space. The song has become a dance challenge on the popular social media platform and labelmates Hoony (Winner), Yunhyeong (iKON), and Somi, as well as other fellow idols such as NCT's Haechan and Stray Kids' I.N. have all been seen jumping in on the "Darari" craze.
Just last March 14, TREASURE was one of the three Best New Artists (Asia) awardees at the Japan Gold Disc Awards. At the rate these boys are going, I think it's safe to say that they're on the right track to superstardom. I can't wait to see what these guys have in store for their Treasure Makers next.

It’s always cool when something new is discovered, especially when it’s about 750 million miles away from Earth.
Such is the case with one of Saturn’s moons known as Iapetus. Scientist Kelsi Singer was looking over images of the celestial body, which was already known to be very icy in its composition, found something no one had previously discovered.
There are massive avalanches that Singer describes as being similar to the ones that occur here on Earth. It’s significant because of the vastly different composition of Iapetus.
“The landslides on Iapetus are a planet-scale experiment that we cannot do in a laboratory or observe on Earth. They give us examples of giant landslides in ice, instead of rock, with a different gravity, and no atmosphere. So any theory of long runout landslides on Earth must also work for avalanches on Iapetus,” Singer said.
The moon was previously not given a significant amount of attention. Saturn has 62 different moons so it certainly takes something unique or unusual to make one of them stand out.
As for actual actions that can be taken, obviously there’s not much other than continuing to investigate images of the moon.
What this mainly does is shake up our perception of friction. Professor William McKinnon chimed in to say, “You might think friction is trivial, but it’s not. And that goes for friction between ices and friction between rocks. It’s really important not just for landslides, but also for earthquakes and even for the stability of the land. And that’s why these observations on an ice moon are interesting and thought-provoking.”

What you need to know about teachers in New Jersey
Teachers in New York City are receiving an average of $13,500 in salary in the first year after they join a new school district, according to a report from the nonprofit Taxpayers for Common Sense.
New York is the first New Jersey city to launch a teacher certification program.
Taxpayers, an advocacy group, says it estimates the average salary in New Jerseys schools to be $17,500.
The average salary for teachers in Jersey City is $18,500, according the report.
The report says the average teacher salary is the second highest in the nation, behind San Francisco.
But New Jersey’s teacher salary report comes as New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has faced criticism for his handling of the teachers union.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and the state’s teachers union have accused the governor of stonewalling on the issue of teacher certification, which he had previously promised would be done within a year.
In a letter to the New York Times in April, de Blasio said he was “deeply troubled” by the $7.8 million in public money allocated for teacher certification programs across the state.
But the governor has denied that, saying it was a mistake to cut teacher salaries by more than $7 million.
The New York teachers union has not commented on the report’s findings.
The Taxpayers’ report is a compendium of the salaries of teachers in the New Jersey schools and was conducted in December.
The organization analyzed salaries from teachers and their families in New Brunswick, Newark, Union County, Camden and Ocean County, and from teachers in other states.
It found that teachers in Newark received an average salary of $21,837.
Teachers in Union County were paid an average wage of $19,721, while teachers in Camden were paid $18.3 million.
Teachers from Jersey City received an annual salary of about $15,000, while New Jersey teachers in Union City made $13.7 million, while those in Newark made about $13 million.

Christ shall be magnified in my body III
"Christ shall be magnified in my body III"
Our mind is the greatest gift God has given us and it ought to be devoted entirely to Him. We must seek the reward of “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ,” 2 Corinthians 10:5. That takes the unseen faith in Jesus Christ. The ability to receive that kind of faith is innate in all of us, but must be turned from earthy knowledge to Godly knowledge. When we have thoughts and ideas that are worthy of God as written, we will learn to compare and associate them with all that happens in the nature of things around us. We begin to see that our thoughts are from God. The mind will no longer be at the mercy of impulsive thinking, but will always be used in service to God. He will always correct and instruct me. I can never say that God is not talking to me right now or misses a moment in my life from time to time communicating with me, because He keeps His Word on the frontlet of my mind and on my hand in all that I do on this earth.
“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes,” Deuteronomy 6:5-8 and 11:18. “And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious,” Isaiah 11:8. He ever reminds me that I serve Him. Lord, how I love my Father in heaven! All glory to His name in the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Your faithful word has restored me!
Having faith in God is the attainment of Spiritual character. As I walk in Christ, I have encountered many changes in my character that are consistently strengthened and brought to new heights daily in His Word. Some may say they feel the presence of God around them when they pray, yet they are only briefly changed. It seems individuals tend to keep going back to their everyday ways and His glory disappears. A life of faith in Christ is not a life of one glorious moment in prayer after another, it is not like partaking of the Eucharist from time to time then falling into sin when absent from the ceremony. It is not like soaring on eagle’s wings for an instant then falling back to earth.
It is a life of consistent faith in Him day after day, moment after moment, in season or out of season, and walking on this earth in the company of His Holy Spirit. It is a faith that has been tried, proved, and has withstood the test of time times infinity. That kind of faith is given of God Almighty every moment of one’s life and is fortified daily in the Holy Spirit of Witness that never fails in upholding the saints of God with His grace and mercy in our lives. It’s like soaring as eagles that are upheld by the hand of God. It’s a faith that transcends all conceivable limits and a faith that comes only from the Son of God. My unseen faith is not of my own created spiritual faith in Jesus Christ, but is of the faith the Son of God has given me. It is faith that has changed my character and was made a desire of my heart. It is of a faith that was foretold to come and did. By this faith given of my Father, Christ shall be magnified in my body daily. The same can be for you.

It wasn’t often that Sydney, Australia’s residents saw a shark up close, so when Coogee Aquarium wrangled in a mammoth tiger shark, many wanted to see the live animal in person. The creature revealed a lot about the nature of sharks—and Sydney’s criminal underbelly—when it vomited a half-digested rat, a bird… and a severed human arm with a boxer tattoo.
Coogee Beach set the scene for one of the most chilling murders in Sydney’s history. The spring of 1935 was a turbulent time for the country: the Great Depression was in full-swing and it was just a year after the horrific Pyjama Girl murder where a young woman’s body was found badly burned. It was clear that Sydney residents needed a little levity. Many had their sights set on the down-on-its-luck Coogee Aquarium which opened in 1887 as an entertainment center for less jaded patrons. On the heels of recession and the shift to modernity catching up to it, it needed a face lift.
So in came one of Sydney’s hottest attraction: the four-meter long tiger shark at Coogee Aquarium that weighed nearly one ton. The proprietor at the time, Bert Hobson, and his son set out in the harbour to find a new star for their 25 by 15 pool. With shark attacks being on the rise that year, giving the public a chance to see one of these maneaters up close presented a good chance of saving their business. They came home with the four-meter long tiger shark and the public quickly took to the attraction. But as spectators ganged around the newly displaced mammoth beast, it became agitated. That’s when it vomited the key piece of evidence in the legendary Shark Arm Case.
When the police were called, they were convinced that the shark arm incident was a prank—either by the staff themselves or by local medical students that had too much time on their hands and access to spare cadaver parts. But no one was laughing as the arm with the boxer tattoo and suspicious rope tied around the wrist was fished from the water and brought to the coroner’s office. Things grew more frantic when the coroner reported that the arm hadn’t been bitten off by the shark at all—but was actually severed by a blunt knife in a suspected act of foul play.
The police had two glaring questions: whose arm was this? And how on earth did it end up in the belly of the beast? Before police could even begin to answer these questions, the press took off with the story, blaming exhibit tamperment or shark attacks. Finding the owner of the arm would be no easy feat seeing as 1930s forensic technology was limited. However, a brand new finger-printing technology was able to link the arm to a name. It was gruelling work, but a match soon came up: the man was Jim Smith, criminal and police informant.
Smith had previous brush-ups with crime and he was an opportunistic police informant. Smith’s brother confirmed the identity of the arm by the boxer tattoo when the image was published in Sydney’s Truth tabloid. Before the criminal life and brush-ups with law, Smith was a boxing hopeful, but was forced to leave his dream to fight behind when it was clear that he just didn’t have a professional-level talent for the sport. So he went from job to job before he landed work in a pub where he started developing connections with the criminal underworld. One of those connections was a wealthy boat-building businessman named Reginald Holmes, one of the last contacts Smith would make.
Reginald Holmes was a man of many titles. In addition to being a well-loved family man and respected member of society who gave back to the community with church donations, he was an active heroin smuggler and insurance and business fraud mastermind. Holmes was also involved in construction where he employed Smith to carry out different tasks like cheating builders of their building supplies and over-insuring property before putting it on the path of destruction through arson. Their operation had Holmes clandestinely wiring money over to Smith after each job. It went on until the ill-fated Pathfinder scandal sunk their relationship faster than the over-insured luxury yacht in Sydney’s harbour. When Holmes filed the fraudulent paperwork to insure the ship and sent Smith to destroy it, he didn’t know that he reported the destruction as “suspicious” to police. The insurance fell through and Holmes found himself out of pocket.
There was the mastermind and the muscle to get these jobs done, but they also required with a master forger. Patrick Brady was a long-time friend of Smith and also played the insurance fraud game. Despite coming from an honest, hard-working family, he strayed away from this lifestyle to mingle with the criminal underworld after discovering he had a talent for forging the signatures of generals in World War I. His talent brought him to Sydney’s harbour where he worked with Smith and Holmes—a perfect criminal trio.
This operation continued, despite Holmes falling behind in his finances as the Depression hit Australia unforgivingly. The pressure starkly worsened under Smith’s threats of blackmail for more and more money from Holmes. It was clear to Holmes that he had to cut off this expensive loose end. One evening, Smith told his wife that he was going fishing. A few restless nights later, his wife grew agitated. One night, she received a mysterious call from a man: “Don’t worry… Jimmy will be home in three days’ time.” Jimmy never made it home.
When the police looked into the case, they had little to work on. Unable to determine the exact cause of death, they had to follow other leads. They knew that Jim Smith was last seen drinking and playing cards with Patrick Brady at the Cecil Hotel, but hangouts like these were fairly commonplace for him. Pursuing Brady as a lead, they found that he had rented a small cottage on Taloombi Street, Cronulla (a scenic beachside locale that continues to be a luxury high-cost destination for real estate nowadays) at the time that Smith was missing. All signs seemed to lead to the cottage being the place where foul play took place. The working theory was that Brady used a boat to dump the body in a trunk in the ocean after the arm was severed.
They began investigating the moves Brady made in the days leading up to the disappearance. They found co-operative taxi drivers who were willing to discuss the trips Brady made a few days prior to the cottage rental. One of the last trips Brady took blindsided investigators with a new shocking lead: the residence of Reginald Holmes. Until now, they had not been aware of any connection between Brady and Holmes. With a few questions to ask, they moved in to get Brady.
When the cops nabbed Brady, they got him on completely unrelated forgery charges. They needed him in the station, but they lacked the physical evidence to detain him for that crime. Brady was under intense interrogation tactics for six hours, but he was steadfast in his refusal to tell them what they didn’t already know. It wasn’t until they questioned his sobbing wife that Brady’s cold demeanor softened. He finally agreed to issue a statement. He asked for a pen and paper—then wrote down everything the cops were already wise to, including his collusion with Holmes.
To get ahead in this case, investigators needed to tackle it from a different angle: it was time to go after Reginald Holmes. In another dramatic twist to this story, Holmes ripped out of his beachfront home into the harbour on his speedboat when it became clear to him that the police were on the approach. Cops were quick to speed out after him, but each time they came near, Holmes would abruptly jolt off again. He attracted a crowd of spectators near Sydney’s harbour who watched the hot pursuit go down.
Finally, Holmes killed the engine and demonstrably stepped up before the crowds, a pistol at hand. Reportedly, he uttered this cryptic phrase: “Jimmy Smith is dead and there is only another left… If you leave me until tonight, I will finish him.” It was clear that he was under the influence. If his behaviour didn’t make it clear, the empty bottle of gin at the bottom of the boat certainly did. The cops braced themselves for a firefight—but then Holmes raised the pistol to his own head, and fired. He fell to the water as the police converged.
But the shot to the head didn’t kill him, just grazed his temple. Defeated, Holmes finally turned himself over to police. Holmes, who was initially thought of as the mastermind to this whole case, pitifully told investigators a different story: he alleged that Brady was the man who killed Smith. He also claimed that Brady brought Smith’s severed arm in a grisly attempt to blackmail him for a sum. Holmes describing details of the cottage on Taloombi Street told them that he knew more than he let on. Police threatened him with an accessory to murder charge to get his inquest in court, to which he agreed. However, Holmes would never make it to court.
On the morning of June 12, 1935, the decisive coroner’s inquest was set to start soon. The police approached Holmes’ residence to bring him to court. Before they even got to the door, they found Holmes slumped over in his car in the driveway with three gunshot wounds to the left side of his chest. It didn’t take long for them to piece together what the insurance mastermind Holmes did: he must have hired hitmen and taken out a contract on himself. Of course, he didn’t put this into play until after he secured a hefty life insurance policy for his own life. The policy wasn’t applicable under suicide and his death would ensure that his wife and children wouldn’t be subjected to the public shame of his conviction. It would be his last successful case of insurance fraud.
The Brady trial went off without him, but on flimsy ground. Those present included Smith’s wife, Holmes’ wife, and a few of the cab drivers willing to testify against Patrick Brady. As the proceedings went on, the most glaring issue was the lack of a physical body. They had the arm, but no one could prove to the judge that Jim Smith was actually dead—or if he was wandering around in armless truancy. When it was decided that there was enough evidence to proceed, the case itself had an even shakier prosecution. Their problem was that Brady was never a violent man: he was charged with lesser crimes like forgery, but never pinned for assault. Standing at 5’4’’ and being a slight man, it was also unfeasible that he would be able to take on Smith by himself. Smith was a much larger man, a boxer, in fact. A day and a half into the trial, the prosecution fell apart and Brady was acquitted of all charges. That day, Brady walked away a free man.
The Shark Arm Case was never officially solved, but there are a few standing theories. A few years after the case, Brady’s wife admitted that she had gone to the cottage that Brady was staying at, suspecting that he was seeing another woman. She claimed that she overheard not two, but a group of men drinking and playing a card game. No one could ever confirm who these men were, but Australian legal historian Alex Castles argued that the murder likely took place at the cottage, but Brady himself was out fishing at the time and returned to find Smith dead. He would allegedly keep silent about this, fearing for his life. If Brady didn’t kill Smith, he would at least have a good idea who did. He would take this secret to the grave in 1965.
Until his death, Brady was sole survivor of the shark arm case. In an interview with Vince Kelly, a leading crime journalist in the 1960s, Brady explained that the case followed him to his death, suspecting that people around him would whisper “That’s Pat Brady.”
One of his last statements proved to be true: “The shark arm case will never be forgotten. It will be remembered after I’m dead.”

What can I tell you about Ickworth? Well its definitely worth a visit if you love amazing buildings and exploring outdoors. This photo tour from pictures I’ve taken on my visits will give you a flavour of what to expect.
Ickworth: A Photo Tour
Lets start with a wow and ickworth House itself certainly has that. So many wonderful angles to take photos from but I think this has got to be my favourite!
I can’t decide if I love the circular shape of this part of house, or the straight lines of the path, trees and bushes! The Rotunda as its called (back view) is breathtaking on a sunny day and if you follow the path it leads to views of the estate.
A walk around the grounds is just lovely and there is so much to see you can easily spend a whole day at Ickworth. There are different walks ranging from half a mile to ‘The Grand Tour’ which is 7 miles! There is also a family cycle route.
One of my real surprises was discovering the stumpery. Yes I had no idea what it was either, but its a bit like a rockery but made from tree stumps. If you go and explore it you will find wonderful tree stumps surrounded by ferns and shade loving plants it really is quite a magical place!
I loved exploring the stumpery it was very atmospheric. It was created by the National Trust in the 1980’s and is one of the most unique ‘gardens’ I have seen!
Inside the house itself there lots to explore too. The house was completed in 1829, although there has been a house on the site since the 1253. The house as it stands now was built in an Italian style reflecting the family’s passion for Italy and this style can also be seen in the gardens.
The entrance hall is very impressive as are most of the rooms. You can even explore the basement where the servants lived. The exhibits are so well displayed and at times you almost expected people to come into the rooms to resume their daily living routine!
I have never been on a cruise ship but it felt like I was on one looking at the view from the upper hall. I thought the circles looked like port holes!
There are many objects to view at the house including this amazing dinner service set!
No trip to a National Trust property can be done without a visit to their wonderful cafe’s. I love the one at Ickworth although it can be difficult deciding what to eat from their delicious menu or where to eat it…..inside or out! (check out their photos on Instagram here I love their pictures of the food!)
I hope you have enjoyed a glimpse into a visit of Ickworth House from a few of my many photos taken from my days out exploring the house, gardens and estate over recent years.

I am going to buy a new rifle. I am considering a rem 700pss and a FN patrol rifle. Can anyone give me any minuses for the FN and the Rem? I want around .5 to .75 moa with match handloads. Can these rifles deliver?
Both of them should get you right in there for accuracy. But I like the stock on the remington better. I haven't got to handle a PBR much, but that will change soon as we are preparing for a review/writeup.... (hint hint to you know who :wink: )
Any negitives for the PBR? Is the Rem shot at the factory for accuracy like the fn? Are the FN's .5moa claim true? I have heard that the factory says all will shoot .5 moa, but i have not read this anywere.
factory produced rifles are interesting like this
on any factory rifle you could get a 'lemon' that cant hold 1 MOA and the next rifle off the assembly line you can get an outstanding rifle that will shoot 1/2 moa, on the accurized 'law enforcement' heavy barreled weapons, its common to see them in the 1/2 - 3/4 moa range with match ammo... MOST of the time definitely sub MOA atleast
MOA, I think the .5 MOA accuracy standard came from the requirements of a trial for a new rifle for the high speed low drag FBI guys, Hostage Rescue Team. Two were selected, an FN rifle and a HS Precision rifle. The FN wasn't the patrol rifle, but they do shoot them at the factory like you said, and were capable of sub .5 accuracy.
I have shot them both and I really liked the FN. We usually carry FN rifles at work and they sure are nice. I am not taking anything away from the PSS cause they are awesome also, but the short fat barreled FN really felt and shot great. SD

A research team led by scientists at Boston University has identified several RNA-binding proteins as potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's.
In a paper published this month in the Journal of Neuroscience, the researchers detailed possible links between development of RNA-binding protein aggregates called stress granules and the progression of various neuropathologies, suggesting a role for these proteins in the development of such disorders, Benjamin Wolozin, a professor in the Department of Pharmacology at Boston University and leader of the study, told ProteoMonitor.
The findings, he said, suggest that the protein aggregates could prove useful as therapeutic targets and as diagnostic and progression biomarkers. Wolozin has filed patents related to the proteins and to therapeutic compounds targeting them and is currently working with proteomics firms NextGen Sciences and Proteome Sciences on mass spec-based assays measuring the proteins.
"I haven't launched a company yet, but I'm at the stage where I would like to start a company related [to the research]," he said. He noted that while the compounds he has developed are primarily for therapeutic purposes, "it's easy to imagine diagnostic material coming out of this [research], too."
In response to cellular stress, RNA-binding proteins aggregate into inclusions called stress granules. Recent research has shown these granules co-localize with structures such as tau tangles that are linked to neurodegenerative disease.
In the Journal of Neuroscience paper, Wolozin and his colleagues set out to characterize the relationship between these stress granules and neuropathology in mouse models of tauopathy and human cases of Alzheimer's disease. They found that patterns of stress granule development varied significantly depending on the RNA-binding protein involved, suggesting, they said, "that these proteins might represent novel [Azheimer's] biomarkers whose expression, aggregation, or posttranslational modifications might reflect distinct elements of the disease process."
The researchers focused primarily on three proteins and their corresponding stress granules: T-cell intracellular antigen-1 (TIA-1); tristetraprolin (TTP); and ras GAP-binding protein (G3BP). They found that TIA-1 granules are strongly associated with tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease; TTP granules are associated with tau pathology in severe cases of the disease; and G3BP is not linked to tau pathology but shows increasing accumulation in neurons as the disease progresses.
I know that's not our style but in this case it makes sense
"At the moment we don't know" how useful the proteins might be as Alzheimer's biomarkers, "but we are pursuing [the question]," Wolozin said.
"The [existing] panels are getting to be pretty good even just using [the classic Alzheimer's biomarkers] phosphotau and amyloid-beta," he said. "But one could imagine that these [proteins] could improve [those panels] further."
"Secondly," he added, "if it turns out that these are upregulated earlier in the disease, as some of them appear to be, then that could increase the sensitivity [of existing tests]."
Wolozin also noted that the stress granules' patterns of co-localization with the tau tangles characteristic of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases could provide addition prognostic or diagnostic information.
"You could imagine that since [the researchers demonstrated], at least in mouse [models], TTP [granules] co-localize with tau later than TIA-1 granules, that if you had a probe that could look at the interaction between tau and those things it could tell you something about the stage [of the disease]," he said.
Adding such co-localization data might also improve the specificity of a diagnosis, he said. "If you think of differential diagnosis, there might be many things that could elevate [expression of] these proteins… but you could perhaps differentiate, for example, between a stroke and Alzheimer's disease by whether or not the stress granule [co-localizes] with tau."
Wolozin said he has submitted several grants to develop imaging techniques that could collect such co-localization data. He is also currently researching whether the proteins can be picked up in cerebrospinal fluid, although he noted as a caveat that the majority of them are not secreted and so may be difficult to detect in CSF.
He is investigating the markers for use in diagnosing mild cognitive impairment, as well. "We have tissues [for that work] and so we're looking at that this summer," he said. "My assumption is that [they] should pick it up; it's just a matter of finding the right markers."
Alzheimer's has been a prime area of focus for protein biomarker research. A 2011 report commissioned by Proteome Sciences predicted that protein biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease will represent a cumulative $9 billion market over the next ten years (PM 6/3/2011). In addition to their promise for diagnosis and predicting progression of the disease, early detection and progression biomarkers are also expected to play an increasing role in pharmaceutical research into drugs for the disease, helping with selection of patients for clinical trials and monitoring response to therapy.
Wolozin hasn't been in contact with any pharma firms about the protein's potential usefulness as neurodegenerative disease biomarkers, but, he said, he is working with Proteome Sciences on assays to look at the proteins as part of his own work on their commercial potential as therapeutic targets and biomarkers.
Proteome Sciences will help Wolozin in developing a "biomarker strategy" to aid in the development of the therapeutic compounds targeting the RNA-binding proteins that he aims to commercialize, Glenn Barney, the company's vice president of sales and marketing told ProteoMonitor.
"[Wolozin] is looking to collaborate with us to do the companion diagnostic along with those compounds and looking at biomarkers to enrich their clinical trials and things like that," Barney said.
Wolozin noted that he is also collaborating with mass spec proteomics firm NextGen Sciences on work looking into the proteins' links to Parkinson's disease.
Launching a company to commercialize the IP he's registered around the proteins is his first choice, he said, but, he added, he is also open to the possibility of licensing it to an interested party.
"It's early days," he said. "I'd like to start a company, but that's contingent on investors and things like that – it always depends on the funding."


Survey: Thousands of Louisiana teachers support going on strike
More than 2,300 Louisiana teachers said they would support a statewide strike to protest educator salaries and other school issues.
In addition, more than 1,800 teachers are in favor of a local strike over the same matters.
The figures came from a survey by the Louisiana Federation of Teachers that asked educators their feelings on salaries and the teaching environment. The survey came after thousands of teachers in other states went on strike earlier this year, mainly over pay and financial issues.
A total of 3,832 teachers responded to the survey between April 10 and May 7.
“Our survey shows that teachers are fed up, not just with low pay, but also with a lack of resources, crumbling facilities, poor student discipline and a lack of parental involvement,” LFT President Larry Carter said in a news release.
Other findings from the survey:
- 2,812 teachers (73 percent) said their salary is below the state average of $49,745 per year
- 3,029 teachers (79 percent) said they have not received a local pay raise in the past five years, not including salary step increases
- 2,990 teachers (78 percent) said they have considered leaving the teaching profession because of low pay
- 3,204 teachers (84 percent) said both the state and local school boards should fund substantial pay raises for teachers
- 3,145 teachers (82 percent) said the state should limit business tax exemptions and rebates to fund pay raises for educators
As for what kind of action they would be willing to take, other than state or local strikes:
- 2,559 teachers (67 percent) are in favor of a petition to their local school board
- 2,893 teachers (76 percent) are in favor of a petition to state lawmakers in Baton Rouge
- 1,802 teachers (47 percent) are in favor of a demonstration at a local school board meeting
- 2,264 teachers (59 percent) are in favor of a mass demonstration at the state Capitol
“What we learned is that teachers want action, and soon, in a state that has frozen education funding in nine of the last 10 years, and in which the average teacher salary has actually declined,” Carter said.
The LFT plans to meet this summer to discuss actions it may take in the coming school year. The survey is being broken down by school district to help assist local leaders, he said.
“Since salary is both a state and local issue, we want to approach raises at every possible level,” Carter said. “You can expect a much higher level of activism than we have seen in the past."

LAKELAND, FL - Florida Southern College men's lacrosse got out to an early lead but was unable to stave off a strong effort by visiting Wingate in a 9-5 loss on Tuesday afternoon at Moccasin Field. The Moccasins (2-2) got on the board first and led by a goal toward the beginning of the second quarter, but the Bulldogs (2-3) scored four unanswered goals to close out the first half en route to the win.
Mike Greco had a strong showing in goal with 15 saves, but Florida Southern was unable to match Wingate on offense as the Bulldogs ripped off 41 total shots. The Mocs were also unable to make the most of their extra-man opportunities, going 0-for-6 when the Bulldogs had a man on the sideline with a penalty. Florida Southern returns to action this weekend with games at Saint Rose (March 9) and No. 2 Le Moyne (March 11).
HOW IT HAPPENED
• Kyle Silverstein gave Florida Southern the first shot of momentum by scoring the game's first goal with 8:25 to go in the first quarter. Justin Dunleavy tallied the assist on the goal and would score his own goal later on. The Moccasin defense was strong throughout most of the first quarter, but Wingate finally found a crack in the armor and scored with just 23 seconds to go in the first to tie things at 1-1.
• After Joe Appio scored to put the Mocs up one (2-1) in the first three minutes of the second quarter, the Bulldogs opened the floodgates with four-straight goals. Wingate was able to tie things up at 2-2 with just over 11 minutes to play in the opening half and took the lead for good with 7:04 on the clock. Wingate added a key goal with just two ticks left in the opening half to make it 5-2 at the break.
• Florida Southern pulled within two when Nick Gutmann scored in the opening minute of the third quarter, but the Bulldogs went on a 3-0 run over the next three minutes to jump out to an 8-3 lead. Lucas Claude found the back of the net just before the third-quarter horn and Dunleavy's goal to open the fourth made it 8-5, but it was all the closer the Mocs could get as Wingate scored with 1:26 left to tack on an insurance goal and make it a 9-5 final.
• The Bulldogs outshot Florida Southern 41-23, including 26-9 un the first half, and picked up 28 ground balls to FSC's 23. Neither team scored on a man-up opportunity, finishing a combined 0-for-8 with a man advantage. Both squads completed 16 clear attempts, and the Mocs committed just one more turnover (16) than the Bulldogs (15). Florida Southern fell to 4-5 all-time against the Bulldogs, including a 1-4 mark when facing Wingate at home.
• The Moccasins head to New York to take on Saint Rose (March 9) and No. 2 Le Moyne (March 11). Florida Southern is home against Colorado Mesa on March 17 at 11:30 a.m. (NOTE TIME CHANGE), and opens Sunshine State Conference action on March 24 at home against Palm Beach Atlantic.


Google’s official blog announced last Tuesday that Tweets will show up when you Google search on your Android device, or with your iOS Google app. Twitter has become a favorite tool for journalists, corporations, politicians and even for customer service agents (just take a look at Uber).
“Whether you’re interested in the latest from Taylor Swift, news about the #MadMenFinale, or updates on the NBA playoffs, you’ll have access to it directly from Google.” Wrote Google on their blog.
So if you Google search ‘NBA playoffs’ you’ll get the normal search results, plus an icon of the NBA’s official Twitter and latest Tweets. Searching celebrities, like Taylor Swift, will bring up their verified Twitter feed. Additionally, looking up trending topics will bring up Tweets that focus on the same keywords.

Down at the seaside for a few days, to have a bit of a break and see Mum. It’s a scramble getting to the station with my suitcase and stick and realise I can’t take a coffee on the train any more as I don’t have a free hand. First world problems.
It’s a couple of hours on the train and we pass through Mum’s old home station. I think of the hundreds of times I got off here, when Mum would come and pick me up and feel sad. Then the train stops in front of the local Lidl and I burst into tears. So full of memories and I never need shop there again. Don’t want to alarm the other passengers so I eat the yoghurt I brought with me and concentrate on the crossword.
I’ve booked a luxury double with balcony and it’s simply beautiful. The sea is yards away and it does my heart and soul good just to watch and hear the waves. Dinner in the hotel is one of those strange English meals, less than the sum of its parts. Then the sleep of the just.

Richard ‘Dickie’ Lynch was born in Barbados, West Indies in 1921 to Cyril
Aubrey Lynch and his wife Louise (nee Webster, of York), and was married
in the UK to Patricia Farrar. He was a Spitfire pilot based at RAF Ibsley,
not far from Bournemouth on the south coast of England, and was killed in
action over the English Channel.
Pilot Officer Richard C Lynch (RAF service number 115146) was posted to
501 Squadron in September 1941. Dickie’s posting to 501 Squadron would
have been his first operational posting, after having completed his
operational training as a fighter pilot at No 57 Operational Training Unit
at Hawarden in North West England, not far from the city of Chester.
It was during the month of September 1941, when Dickie first arrived at
Ibsley airfield, that a famous movie film called “First of the Few” was
being shot at Ibsley. This film starred actors David Niven and Leslie
Howard and told the story of the Supermarine Spitfire and its designer RJ
The crews of 501 Squadron became film stars as the Air Ministry agreed to
provide aircraft for the flying sequences that were shot at the location.
The Spitfires of 501 Squadron were chosen for this role because they were
still operating the Mark II spitfire which had been flown two years
earlier during the Battle of Britain in 1940. The Mark II Spitfire was
required because it did not have the distinctive cannon of the later
Marks, but still sported an armament of 8 .303″ machine guns.
The starring pilots were drawn from both 501 and 118 squadrons, both based
at Ibsley at the time. These pilots play themselves effectively, as pilots
debriefing after a previous air combat engagement and then waiting at
dispersal for the next “scramble” order, whilst listening to David Niven
telling them the story of RJ Mitchell and the Spitfire.
The Squadron Commander of 501 Squadron, Squadron Leader Chris “Bunny
Currant”, actually had a minor role in the film and played a small cameo
as a friend of David Niven’s character “Crisp”. He is “shot-down” and
killed by a German ME109 during the exciting battle scene at the climax of
In later years, when talking to school children about his war years, one
little girl asked him if it was true that he had been “shot down” in the
movie. With his usual sense of humour and a twinkle in his eye, Bunny
replied with a straight face that yes, it was perfectly true that he had
been “shot down”, and in fact of all the instances during the war years
when he had been shot down, that was the only occasion when he had been
“shot down and killed”. Bunny Currant was the 501 Squadron Commander and
later became commander of the whole Ibsley Wing, which comprised three
Squadrons including 501. Sadly, Bunny died in 2008.
Dickie flew with the squadron until he was posted missing on 17th
September 1942. He would therefore have participated in the great air
battle over Dieppe in August 1942, when a chiefly Canadian assault force
attempted a large-scale raid on the French coast near Dieppe. The RAF was
called upon to provide air cover for this amphibious raid, which provoked
a massive response from the German Luftwaffe.
For the Dieppe raid, 501 Squadron was deployed to Tangmere airbase near
Chichester in the South Coast on England. They escorted a formation of
Blenheim light bombers over towards the Dieppe area at about 0750 hours,
but this mission was cancelled and they returned to base; a further
mission was flown at 1024, when they escorted some Hurri-bombers which
were briefed to attack gun emplacements on East Beach at Dieppe.
In mid afternoon, the Germans started to attack the main landing ship
convoy with Dornier 217 and Junkers 88 bombers, escorted by FW190
fighters. 501 Squadron along with other fighter units, were scrambled at
1455 hours to assist the ships at the rear of the flotilla. Reaching the
convoy about 8 miles off Dieppe, the Squadron was immediately involved in
a furious scrap with ten FW190s, several of which were damaged by 501
Dickie was flying Spitfire Mark V (serial number EP871, Squadron Code
letters SD-L) when he was reported missing, following a convoy patrol. It
is interesting to note that Pilot Officer John Scott, flying Spitfire
serial number AB491 (SD-Y), was also lost on the same routine convoy
patrol. It is understood that “Scotty” baled out after being attacked by a
FW190 over Lyme Bay, but his parachute failed to open. It therefore seems
reasonable to conclude that Dickie was also shot down by FW190s.
In fact, the Squadron was plagued by a series of unrelated incidents over
the period 27 August to 17 September 1942, during which time no less than
7 pilots (about 30% of a typical Squadron strength) were killed in action
or in flying accidents. Hence the Squadron was withdrawn from operations
in October 1942 and moved to Ballyherbet in Northern Ireland.
Here the Squadron continued to perform convoy escort duties, but was
essentially on a rest tour. It is sad to think that had he survived the
convoy patrol, his unit may have pulled out of the front line for rest
shortly afterwards, and he may have survived the war as a result.
There is not much detail about Dickie’s success as a fighter pilot. One
day whilst filming the movie “First of the Few”, the Squadron was
scrambled from Ibsley to intercept a Ju88 at 18000 feet South of Portland
Bill. Bunny Currant decided that it was a useful learning experience for
the whole squadron, since some pilots had not even fired their guns in
anger yet. He therefore let everyone have a shot at it. It eventually
crashed onto rocks at Cap de La Hague on the Cherbourg Peninsula, and
Bunny received a scolding from Fighter Command who felt that it was
overdoing it to use over 20,000 rounds of ammunition on it. As Dickie was
a new pilot on the Squadron, it is expected that he would have been one of
the new pilots that Bunny was concerned about;, and if he was flying that
day, he would have been entitled to claim a twelfth of a “Confirmed” kill!
Dickie was also credited with a 1/2 share claim in a “probably destroyed”
Junkers 88 which was shot at on 13th March 1942 near to Casquettes at 1730
hours, whilst flying Spitfire Mark V Serial Number AD538. He shared the
claim with Wing Commander Ian Gleed, a famous Battle of Britain pilot who
was commander of the Ibsley wing at the time. Ian Gleed was later killed
in North Africa in 1943. For a kill to be classed as “Probably Destroyed”
it would be fairly badly damaged, with smoke and/or flame trailing, and
most likely to crash but not actually witnessed to do so.
Dickie’s Spitfire EP120 still exists as an airworthy aircraft to this day,
although not painted in its 501 Squadron markings. It is now operated by
the Fighter Collection at Duxford in UK.

May 21, 2019· Longwall Mining: Large coal blocks are identified underneath the earth’s surface and usually fit in the dimensions of 100-300m in width by 1000m to 3000m in length. This block of coal is then extracted in slices by undercutting, where it is then blasted and drilled. The remnants are placed on conveyor belts until the entire block is extracted.
Underground Mining Methods presents the latest principles and techniques in use today. Reflecting the international and diverse nature of the industry, a series of mining case studies is presented covering the commodity range from iron ore to diamonds extracted by operations located in all corners of the world. Industry experts have contributed 77 chapters.
3D numerical modeling of longwall mining with top-coal caving. Therefore, in sublevel caving, if half of the extraction ellipsoid is inscribed in the body of coal, then a maximum of 50% of coal volume can be extracted without dilution.In sublevel caving applied at a thick-coal seam, the opening dimensions used for top-coal drawing are
each sublevel is drawn back; the broken ore is drawn off through the funnel-shaped raises, which leaves a large open stope. The sublevels are driven about 25 ft. apart vertically, and 8 to 10 ft. are shot off from each bench from the sublevel below.
A bi-directional shearing machine mines a longwall face at the bottom of a thick mineral seam in a retreat operation under the protection of a row of adjacent powered roof supports each of which extends in a direction transverse to the solid face. Progressive advance of these roof supports allows the overlying mineral strata to cave. Each roof support is separated into articulated forward and

Longwall and caving methods are distinguished from other mining methods by the fact that the near-field rock undergoes large displacements so that mined voids become self-filling. In caving methods, the far-field rock may also undergo large displacements.

SUBSIDENCE PRODUCED BY LONGWALL COAL MINING The mechanical aspects of the subsidence pro cess in flat-lying coal bearing rocks mined by longwall methods are reasonably well known, compared to room-and-pillar mining, and are documented abundantly in the literature. This knowledge may be summarized as follows.
Longwall mining is an underground mining method that can maximize coal production in coal beds, which contain few geological discontinuities. In these operations, a mechanical shearer progressively mines a large block of coal, called a panel, which is outlined with devel opment entries or gate roads.
Longitudinal longhole retreat is a branch of the generic mining method known as sublevel stoping. For longitudinal retreat the long axis of the stope is along (or parallel) to the strike of the orebody. It may also be referred to as bench stoping or sublevel benching.

‘Portrait of Eman’ is a short fashion film by British fashion photographer and filmmaker Esmé Moore, in collaboration with fashion design students Sofia Castellon and Fauve Penketh, who are currently studying at Central Saint Martins. After seeing this year’s annual White Show curated by Central Saints Martins, Esmé set out with the aim of bringing a few of these garments that are only ever seen on the catwalk and in images from behind the scenes, into a collaborative project with the designers who created them.
Within Esmé’s recent film work there has been an ongoing focus on the different forms and meanings of female relationships. Told through the movement of up-and-coming model Eman Deng, ‘Portrait of Eman’ is an intricate insight into the relationship that a woman has with herself. One of anger, joy and angst in a world that is ever-increasingly public, riddled with external interference from others, and yet she remains so isolated.
