Everyones a winner at the Appleby Horse Fair

21 June 2016

Gypsy and Travellers showed off their beautiful horses as The Best In Show competition returned for a second year to Appleby Horse Fair earlier this month.

From the hundreds of horses that visited Appleby, 11 winning rosettes were awarded over the course of the three-day event:

First winner of the weekend

Our first winner was Mr Jack, owned by Lillymarie Williams and who coincidentally was also featured in a Travellers Times article. Vet Karen Pickering from the Donkey Sanctuary was drawn to Mr Jack’s great turn out and condition as well as his calm and easy demeanour. After chatting to Lillymarie further, Karen discovered how multitalented he is too – coming to Appleby every year, he pulls a bowtop, show jumps and free jumps.

Best Cob

There were two other winners of Best Cob during the weekend, awarded by two vets from Redwings Horse Sanctuary. Nicola Berryman was impressed by Moonshine, a four-year-old stallion who turned a lot of heads during the fair with his photo appearing in lots of social media feeds. Secondly, Tommy, an eight-year-old gelding owned from foal, was also “immaculately turned out, without a hair out of place” as described by vet Roxane Kirton, and a proud family pet.

Best Trotter/Pacer

Appleby Horse Fair attracts a number of non-traditional horses, reflecting how harness racing has been embraced by many Gypsy and Traveller horse owners. Our Best Trotter and Best Pacer went to two horses in excellent condition, without interference injuries or harness rubs, and excellent coat condition. Billy Casper is a six-year-old gelding living out his retirement from racing with owner David Cummings, and eight-year-old stallion Henry is a registered track racer who has been owned for four years and fully integrated into the family of Sam Howard from Lancaster.

Best Shetland

Dolly Blue was the only Best Shetland of the weekend and perfectly captured the essence of Appleby in pint-sized form. Her owner Diamond Chanel has her showing off a beautifully painted miniature flat cart in matching harness to her parents’ horse. Diamond Chanel had even backed her to drive herself from a young age.

Best In Harness

There are so many different types of harness at Appleby from the traditional to the more modern and unusual. Some of the harnessed horses really stand out in excellent condition and well-fitted tack, with both style and comfort in mind. Mowgli was our first Best In Harness winner spotted on the first day brought along as a family pet to enjoy the fair. Meanwhile Mouse, a little mare who was being well driven, looked well turned out and was the pride of her young owner Layne.

Best In Show

There were three horses that won Best In Show overall. Head vet at the fair, Nic de Brauwere from Redwings, gave his one and only rosette to a horse with the most incredible name – Sexy Legs – owned by James Loveridge. The yellow rosette looked stunning and was proudly pinned all weekend in the mane of this stunning traditional mini cob.

Two other cobs won the remaining Best In Show rosettes including Eddie, a coloured cob with a Traditional Gypsy Cob Association (TGCA) Reserve Champion title under his belt. Eddie’s owner Ken Smith has him shod specifically for different occasions showing a real eye for work appropriate farriery. Meanwhile, Lulu the dun mare was an early Best In Show winner of the weekend. She could be seen in a beautiful traditional Amish harness being worked and then regularly rested throughout the weekend.

 More than 5,000 people liked, shared and commented on the Best In Show Facebook page and the winners’ photos reached tens of thousands of people. Winners were congratulated and enjoyed having their horse’s photo taken and shared on the page, showing some of the high levels of care and passion for horses at the fair.

Best In Show are looking for people with experience of judging to come forward as volunteers to help the vets crown their #BestAtAppleby2017

Light and Color: A Simple Recipe for a Great Photograph

Strinking sunset light provides a brilliant backdrop for these flowers in Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia.

It’s a simple recipe, light and color. The two most important aspects underpinning a color photograph. Of course there are others: an interesting subject, composition, gesture, mood/emotional impact; but without light and color you don’t really have a color photograph.

Why is it then that so many color photographs we see are almost entirely void of these two most essential elements?

Here’s how an old dog photographer, like me, would go about making a photograph in the days of film.

Choice of Subject or Scene

The choice of subject or scene was largely irrelevant unless it was well lit, either due to the circumstances under which you found that subject or scene, or by some action you take. You could, for example, do the following:

  • Move the subject into better light
  • Move yourself so that, as a result, the subject or scene is now lit from a different direction
  • Add light (e.g., flash).

The School of Hard Knocks

One of the lessons I learned as a photographer in the days of film-based photography was that, if the subject or scene in question is not well lit, or if you don’t have the ability to light it, you simply wouldn’t photograph it. There was just no point in doing so. Disappointment taught me what could and what could not be photographed successfully.

The advantage of this approach was that, over time, I developed a keen awareness for what was and what was not going to photograph well. As a result I’d rarely achieve less than thirty three out of thirty six good images on a roll of transparency (e.g., slide) film. The only times when that average would be tested would be when my desire to photograph poorly lit subjects or scenes got the better of me.

And, unlike almost all the professional photographers, I almost never bracketed my exposures. I absorbed far less film and processing costs than many other pros or serious enthusiasts. In some cases those thirty three exposures would be of thirty three different subjects or scenes. Most serious enthusiasts using transparency film would use three to five times move film and processing costs to achieve the same results.

No doubt they would argue that, in doing so, they were confident of achieving a higher success rate than if they did not bracket their exposures. I would argue that, in fact, they didn’t understand how to achieve a correct exposure in the first place. Bam!

Restrictions Are Good For You

I believe the fact that my budget didn’t allow that approach is the main reason why my success rate and overall understanding of the light, dynamic range (e.g., contrast) and exposure trinity was so keenly understood. That, and a very good working understanding of the Zone System (adapted, in this case to transparency film).

Naturally, I understand the power of applications such as Lightroom or Photoshop to re-make the world in our vision. And it’s true, though to a lesser extent, that a photograph could also be transformed in the darkroom. However, for most folks, the photograph is made in the camera rather than the on the desktop or in the darkroom and, for those folks, to produce great photos they need to approach their photography more like the successful film-based photographer of old. The simple need to get it right in camera. Which, may I say, is what they so desperately want to be able to do.

Without Light there is No Color

Having that immediately feedback on the back of your camera’s LCD screen is very useful. I use it all the time. Though I’m talking more about the histogram (i.e., the graphical representation of the various levels of brightness within the image) than the actual image of the subject or scene you’ve just photographed. But, more importantly, if you want to produce photographs that connect emotionally with your audience and communicate your own, personal response of the world around you it’s essential to be able to see and adapt to light. And without light, there is no color.

Light defines the world for photographers. It illuminates and brings to our attention all manner of subject matter, even that which we would otherwise deem unworthy of our attention or of a photograph. Even today, as a died in the wool digital photographer, when asked what it is I photograph I have the same answer I’ve had for many years.

What I Photograph

”Well, I mostly photograph people, landscapes and buildings and, as I do a lot of that while I travel, I call myself a travel photographer. Though, really, I just consider myself a generalist. That’s because I don’t really have a preference for one kind of photography or another. It’s light and color that, ultimately, determines where I look and what I photograph.”

But there’s an advantage to being a generalist, in a world full of specialists. I’m interested in most kinds of photography and have the knowledge and experience to be able to help folks produce the results they want quickly and efficiently. I would never try to push people to my own way of thinking. Rather, I take the time to understand what they want to achieve and provide them with a recipe for how to do so.

You’d be surprised at just how beneficial it is talking to the person next to you on that long train ride from Milan to Minsk, Rochelle Rochelle. It might just be me.

Photographing a Flower

The above photo was made in Kakadu National Park in Australia’s Northern Territory. It’s a wild and dangerous place to be sure. But, with a sensible attitude to the potential warnings (e.g., crocs) provided by authorities, it’s a unique environment that’s full of opportunities for great photography.

I made this photo after a long day’s work as a stills photographer on a T.V. documentary film for Foxtel. Fish Out Of Water dealt with the environment and was hosted by world champion swimmer Ian Thorpe.

Despite the trials and tribulations associated with working as a stills photographer including, in this case, enormous amounts of standing around in hot and humid conditions, I jumped out of my seat to make this photo. It was one of the highlights of the day. Simple and pure and based upon light, color and, I believe, strong composition.

I’m sure there are plenty of folks who could name the flower in question. But, from the point of view of an artist/photographer, that’s really not what the photo is about.

Be a Better Photographer

To learn more about your own camera and how to put it to use to make great photos consider enrolling in one of my private one-to-one photography courses. Specially tailored to your needs and the vagaries of your own camera you’ll jump years ahead in your understanding of the art of photography and how to achieve the results you most desire.

A single three hour session is all most folks need to put them on the road to success. And there’s thirty five years of practical experience, and a whole bunch of testimonials from happy customers, underpinning that claim. To discuss feel free to Contact Me directly.

The eight biggest myths about travelling in Europe

A lot of Aussies make a beeline for Europe for an occasion each year, numerous out of the blue. Be that as it may, there are a few fantasies about going on the landmass that you have to think about before you arrive. Here are eight of the greatest fantasies about going in Europe, busted.

Trains are dependably a superior wagered than transports

Train travel is one of Europe's major delights, with rail tracks extending over the landmass and quick, ordinary administrations as standard. In any case, that doesn't mean it's in every case better. There are regularly situations where urban areas are ineffectively associated with one another via train, which means you need to go the long path round through another city.

Segovia to Salamanca in Spain is a genuine precedent here – the speediest rail course between them includes turning around and experiencing Madrid. Be that as it may, a mentor benefit with a snappy change in Avila takes far less time.

Different zones have either crushingly moderate trains –, for example, Sicily – or none by any stretch of the imagination –, for example, the Albanian, Montenegrin and Croatian drift. It's constantly worth seeking to see whether the transport may be a superior wagered.

English trains are constantly costly

English trains legitimately have an unpleasant notoriety for being costly. In many nations, the contrast between the online development price tag and the stone up cost is genuinely negligible. Correspondingly, off top trains don't cost all significantly less than pinnacle time trains.

Numerous voyagers wind up purchasing ostensibly overrated rail goes for the good of simplicity, accepting that purchasing singular tickets can be excessively precarious. This is halfway because of not knowing the correct sites – every nation's railroad arrange will in general have its own site. This incorporates Deutsche Bahn ( in Germany, Trenitalia ( in Italy and Renfe ( However, a fundamental scan for the name of the nation with "trains" or "rail" ought to raise the correct site.

All the more vitally, these destinations have an English dialect choice, with the tickets either printable or accessible to get up at the station for no additional expense. There's no compelling reason to get them posted out.

Spending aircrafts are constantly less expensive than conventional bearers

Any semblance of Easyjet, Ryanair and Wizzair can frequently offer incredible arrangements, beyond any doubt – yet it's a misstep to think they'll generally be the esteem wagered. Full administration carriers have needed to drop their costs (and seemingly their administration models) to contend. For instance, picking an arbitrary date in December, British Airways flights from London to Athens cost a couple of euros not exactly Ryanair and Easyjet's choices.

Wherever utilizes the euro

The possibility of just changing your Aussie dollars once goes to pot once you venture out of the Eurozone. 25 European nations utilize the euro as their cash, however there are some outstanding holdouts. The UK is the most outstanding of these, yet you'll likewise need to utilize zlotys in Poland, francs in Switzerland, crowns in the Czech Republic, krona in Sweden and forints in Hungary.

Eateries are sans smoke

Hostile to smoking enactment has spread through Europe, and sans smoke bars and eateries are the standard. Be that as it may, not in all nations. Austria's bistros and eateries can be awfully smoky, albeit stricter laws are expected to be presented in 2018. In Greece, there are no smoking laws in eateries, however they're generally disregarded. What's more, in a lot of Eastern Europe , you should be a Marlboro test chimp.

BARRY ELLSWORTH: Seems strange to see Skyline Restaurant closed

Barry Ellsworth

Share Adjust Comment Print

For the first time since I can remember, the lights are off at the venerable Skyline Restaurant.
After more than 60 years of operating the eatery – cooking, putting food on the table, or just plain waving to patrons, Jimmy Christos died Oct. 15, five days short of his 95th birthday.
Where there used to be a signs in the window touting occasional specials – bacon and eggs breakfast, Montreal smoked sandwich, fish and chips — there is notice that the restaurant is shuttered.
If you grew up in Trenton or have been a city resident for a few decades, chances are you ate in the Skyline. And also at the Times Square on Front Street, operated for decades by the late Bobby Christos, Jimmy’s brother.
Fries and gravy, washed down by a Coke, were the most popular items back in the ‘60s. At the Skyline counter, a piece of coconut cream pie was a special treat.
And, in the far booth, there would be Jimmy, often joined by fellow Greek Canadians such as the late Phil Panelas.
In the halcyon days of the Skyline, Jimmy would stay open to 2 a.m. or later if there were customers, and in the 1960s there were plenty as the downtown was alive with people and muscle cars. But no matter how late Jimmy stayed, he would be back at it at 6 a.m., even with only a few hours downtime.
Word has it he sometimes slept there, snatching some shuteye before beginning the ritual again, seven days a week.
He lived and breathed that restaurant and his dedication made him wealthy, as it did brother Bobby.
I remember my daughter Candy coming home and saying that Bobby had bought his kid a new car, I think it was a Mustang, as a high school graduation present.
“Where’s mine?” Candy asked.
I think I said something like, “It’s at Lange and Fetters.”
Jimmy cooked at times and I have never been in a restaurant that served up the food faster. I don’t know how Jimmy did it, and I am not sure I want to know.
He would also occasionally deliver beverage and edibles to your booth.
Jimmy had a knack of throwing the coffee cup and saucer onto the table, making a racket but never spilling a drop. I don’t know how he did that, either, but it’s a fact.
Jimmy came to Canada from Greece in the early 1950s, but his accent never changed. He would mumble away at you in his own brand of English patois. Half the time I couldn’t understand what he was saying, but it didn’t matter.
Customers came and went during long years – Bob Swan, Farley Sharpe, George Bonn to name only three of hundreds of thousands.
And the customers sat in the same booths with those small juke boxes on the wall as Jimmy resisted all attempts to get him to modernize.
I don’t know the future of the Skyline now that its steward-in-chief has departed.
But I do know that Jimmy’s passing and the dark restaurant leave a big hole in downtown Trenton.

My boyfriend and I booked five nights at this hostel between the 28th of December and the 3rd of January. We booked a private room on booking.com for a total of 500€. The pictures looked good and we understood that the price went up because of the time of the year. However, when we got there we realized that the room had nothing to do with the pictures we had seen and the price of the room felt completely unjustified. We wanted to cancel our reservation and look for something else. However, the manger offered us to move to the suite which was priced 10€ extra per night. We took his offer as this suite room was much more specious and looked a bit better than our previous room. The room turned out to be very noisy since it was just bellow a courtyard with ten rosters in it. Meaning, that every evening, night and mornings we heard rosters screaming just below our window which by the way, did not fully close. In addition, the water was not working too full morning in a row and the breakfast included in the price was made of a few fruits, a small piece of cake and coffee. For 110€/night, even around this time of the year and not in such a special location, Hostel San Pancho is incredibly over priced and uncomfortable. On top of that, one of the receptionist was very rude and tried to make us pay more than what we had agreed on.

The only reason we do not give it 5 stars is that there is no bar or even beverage service. But the atmosphere is both casual and elegant. Every corner is well lighted with views of the surrounding terrain, and flowers are everywhere. The managers are friendly and helpful, and the breakfasts are delicious and creative in real Mexican style, served by the lovely Karla. There is a very nice small pool for bathing and relaxing. We highly recommend Casa San Pancho and we will always return. This was our second stay.

San Pancho lacks accommodation in peak season so we stayed here. We paid $75 a night for a room here and actually it was pretty good. We had a room at the end of the hallway which had a little balcony. Maybe this is the premium room but it's worth getting it for the extra light and space. The bedrooms that look on to the hallway do not look as good. A point to remember is that the toilet and shower is in the room. So you will be very close to your room mate- so maybe stay off the seafood tacos etc! The wifi is good and the breakfast was basic but good - fruit with a delicious piece of banana and nut cake. Fresh juices and coffee too. I agree with others, it's a good 15 minute walk to the beach but on the other hand it's really close to where the bus drops you off. Overall I can recommend this place.

Way better than you'd expect from a typical hostel, especially the rooms upstairs. Peaceful atmosphere and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Only a 10-minute walk to the beach off the main road.

Stayed almost a week at San Pancho hostal. Our room was great, the crew is the coolest in town, breakfasts are great and simple and we got to meet lots of nice people. And on top of that they offer trips to Islas Marietas, which is not to be missed, while in the area. We'll be back at Hostal San Pancho, for sure!

A widely used Android mobile ad library which was available on Google Play has been identified as posing a significant threat to mobile users, allowing potential attackers to “perform dangerous operations such as downloading and running new components on demand.”

Dubbed “Vulna” by researchers for its “vulnerable and aggressive” collection of sensitive data, the ad library could be leveraged to conduct attacks on potentially millions of users – a threat of such magnitude that the researchers have declined to identify the specific library by name, though they have notified both Google and the library’s vendor of the problem.

“We have analyzed all Android apps with over one million downloads on Google Play, and we found that over 1.8% of these apps used Vulna. These affected apps have been downloaded more than 200 million times in total,” the researchers discovered.

Mobile ad libraries are software developed by a third-party and used display advertisements by other “host apps”  and collect and IMSI and IMEI device identifiers, but Vulna has the capability to collect call record details, SMS text messages, and allow for the execution of malicious code.

“Vulna is aggressive—if instructed by its server, it will collect sensitive information such as text messages, phone call history, and contacts. It also performs dangerous operations such as executing dynamically downloaded code. Second, Vulna contains a number of diverse vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities when exploited allow an attacker to utilize Vulna’s risky and aggressive functionality to conduct malicious activity, such as turning on the camera and taking pictures without user’s knowledge, stealing two-factor authentication tokens sent via SMS, or turning the device into part of a botnet,” the researchers determined.

Extra Pump-Tubing Set for PourBoy® 4

PB4-PTS:  $96.22 - In Stock
A must-have for all frequent plate-pourers is an additional pump-tubing set. Instead of resterilizing your pump-tubing set between plate pouring sessions, why not have another pump sterile, and ready to go when you are?

The PourBoy® 4 has an inexpensive, detachable, miniature, high-tech electromagnetic pump.  For longest pump life, we recommend autoclaving two bottles of water along with your media. Running the nearly-boiling water through the system before you start pouring agar-based media prewarms the pump, tubing, and kills the vast majority of contaminants (and/or washes them away).

The second bottle of water is run through immediately after pouring plates to clean any residual media from the system. We use this technique in our lab and have no problem with contamination of our LB, YPD, or NGM plates. In case of a stubborn contaminant, you can still sterilize with hydrogen peroxide (2% "drug-store-grade") or alcohol (bleach is not recommended). The tubing is pharmaceutical grade silicone rubber and can be autoclaved, but the pump itself cannot.

My Review:
I am a huge Lauren Carr fan. I have read and listened to several of her books. I love her writing style. She involves, family, friends, and pets in all of her books. The books re basically clean reads, there are a few colorful words but not enough to put anyone off, and no sex scenes. She even cleans up some very grisly murders, by giving you just enough description to give you the idea but leaves the blood and gore out. Her books are to me re good for all ages above middle grade.

Ice is book 1 in her new New Series featuring Chris Matheson and Cold Case Files. Chris is a retired FBI agent. He and his 3 daughters move back to his hometown and back in with his parents after the death of his wife.

    Twenty four years ago when Chris was young, Sandy Lipton and her unborn child disappeared. Everyone in town believes the child was his and he had something to do with the disappearance. Now 24 years later there are still some in the town who still believe he had something to do with the it.

After agreeing to go to a book club which he finds out is a bunch of retired Law Enforcement officers that call them selves the Geezer Squad. The Geezers all jump in to help Chris solve the case whether he is guilty or not.

There are several twists and turns with this book just as are will all of Lauren's books. I think I am really going to enjoy this new series. I love Cold Cases.

The book is narrated by Mike Alger. he actually narrates several of Lauren's books. I love the way he drags you into the story and keep my attention. He adds lots of emotion to the character voices as well as the story narration.

Lauren Carr Interview for ICE

1. Lauren, your upcoming new release ICE doesn’t involve any characters from your three popular mystery series. What inspired ICE and the Chris Matheson Cold Case Mysteries?
A true crime documentary inspired the premise for ICE. In this documentary, a group of former students gathered together to investigate the murder of a nun they had as a teacher. Now in their fifties and sixties, each student brought their own unique talents to the investigation.
As a mystery writer, I thought, “What if …” As I started my research, I discovered that there are quite a few police departments that bring in retired law enforcement officers to tackle cold cases.
But then, I needed a protagonist to be the center of this team who call themselves the Geezer Squad. Living close to Washington, I have met more than one law enforcement or federal employee who’ve retired in their mid-forties because they started working right out of high school. As a result of his “youth,” Chris is the outsider on the team and learns quite a bit from the Geezer Squad.
2. Tell us a little bit about your protagonist Chris Matheson.
The sudden death of his wife, killed during a terrorist attack in France, and the death of his father prompts Chris’s retirement as an investigator with the FBI. He moves back home to the family farm to live with his mother, who helps him to raise his three young daughters.
Notice that Chris is surrounded by women since he’s raising three little girls and lives with his mother, who is also dealing with the loss of her husband. But there is one male in his family for him to lean on. That’s Sterling, another retiree. He’s a law enforcement K-9, who recently lost his handler in an ambush.

3. Tell us about the Geezer Squad.
The number one rule of the Geezer Squad is never talk about the Geezer Squad.
The Geezer Squad is a private team of detectives who work under the cover of a book club, which meets at the library where Doris is the director. The squad was founded by Chris’s father after he got kicked out of his wife’s club. After a couple of meetings, the group decided to combine their skills and talents to reopen the cold cases that keep them up at night.
They have to keep their investigations secret because most of the squad members have families who would disapprove of them returning to doing investigative work. That’s why you never talk about the Geezer Squad.

4. Do you expect to keep Chris Matheson relatively unchanged from book to book, or do you expect to develop him over time?

Very Very much so. Since these upheavals in Chris’s life are still quite fresh in ICE, there’s lots of room for his character to grow. One interesting area is his love life. In ICE, Chris reconnects with his high school sweetheart, Helen, a lieutenant in charge of the homicide division of the state police.

5. Most of your protagonists are male. What’s the most difficult thing about writing characters from the opposite sex?
Keeping the difference between men and women in my head. I know. It’s a no-brainer that men and women are different. Not only physically, but they think differently as well. I approach my characters as people first—not a sex. My protagonists are men because I love men. I love spending my time with men. I love talking to men. I even married one. I like to think I understand them—as people. It was another writer who pointed out to me that sometimes my male characters may “talk too much.” By that, she meant that generally, they discuss their feelings more than most men would. Whenever I looked at my husband and son, I had to agree. So I try to keep a close eye on that.

6. What is the most difficult part of your artistic process?
Oh, that is a hard question. Writing is who I am. It’s what I do. To answer this, I’ll go based on what I’m doing when my family is most fearful for their lives. It’s getting the words from my head to the keyboard and the hard drive.
You see, I am actually working on my next book in my head while my last book is being edited. I don’t actually sit down to the laptop until I have everything figured out. The victim. How they are killed? Who is the killer? Why? How are they caught? I have that all in my head before I sit down to write. At that time, nothing is written. Now, I am anxious to get it written. But then, life steps in. I have dogs who want walked. A husband who has a nasty habit called eating to survive and he can’t cook. My body needs sleep. All of this interrupts the flow of the words and when they are really coming—I can become quite frustrated.
It’s also my favorite part of writing because I enjoy composing the mystery—I just hate the interruptions.

7. How long on average does it take you to write a book?
Every book is different. Generally, I schedule four months from the time I sit down to start writing it to the time that it is released. That is not counting the couple of months that I am forming the plotline in my head.

8. What is next for you?
I am working on two books that I expect to be released early summer and another this fall.
Look for the third Thorny Rose Mystery early this summer. Murder by Perfection.
Frustrated with their busy schedules, Murphy Thornton and Jessica Faraday attempt to find togetherness taking a couple’s gourmet cooking course at the Stepford Kitchen Studio, taught by Chef Natalie Stepford.
As if spending her date night cooking isn’t bad enough, Jessica is further annoyed when the beautiful, talented, successful businesswoman starts paying too much one-on-one time with Murphy. When Natalie ends up dead, the Thorny Rose detectives find togetherness doing what they do best. As they peel back the layers of the Stepford marriage, they discover that the pursuit of perfection can be deadly.
But wait! There’s more! Look for a Mac Faraday Mystery this fall! The next installment in the Mac Faraday Mysteries will be coming out just in time for Christmas - A Murder for Christmas (working title).

Tungaloy’s New -JS Style Chipbreaker Improves Chip Control on Small Parts

Iwaki, February 2019 — Tungaloy is expanding its MiniForce-Turn, an economical turning tool series, to include the -JS style chipbreaker insert promising efficient chip control and machining stability.

MiniForce-Turn features an innovative double-sided positive insert and unique seat interface for secure location, which is designed to provide free cutting as standard single-sided positive inserts do, while enhancing maximum stability and tool economy.

The new -JS style chipbreaker is designed to promote effective chip control in machining small parts. Its cutting edge incorporates a large inclination angle which helps produce smooth chip flow as well as light cutting condition. This geometry virtually eliminates chip nests, decreasing part scraps and machine downtime, while improving finishing quality. The -JS chipbreaker complements the existing MiniForce-Turn chipbreaker offering and broadens the application range in small part machining. The new chipbreaker is available on 6-cornered WXGU0403 inserts and 4-cornered DXGU0703 and VXGU09T2 inserts.

  • At a Glance:
    • Innovative double-sided positive inserts with a cutting action as free as standard positive inserts
    • The cutting edge designed with a large inclination angle to facilitate smooth chip control and light cutting action

Gorgeous, fool-proof pattern!

Made some gorgeous tops for my twin nephews. Thank you so much!

great pattern

easy to follow instructions!

Easy make

Love this so far only made long sleeve for my grandson. Going to try the dress version next for his sister

Great pattern for adventurous beginner (or anyone!)

Like all twig and tale patterns this was super easy to follow and the video tutorials really map it out for you. The French seams make the seems on this shirt so fancy and professional looking. I was super impressed with myself. I already made two shirts and plan to make several more!

Breeze shirt (all sizes) Perfect pattern

Such clear instructions both in the PDF and on the website, a support group too I believe! I didn't need those, the pattern is so comprehensive and easy to understand. If you're looking at reviews to help decide, buy it! You won't regret it.

Quick sew before holidays

3 shirts-3 days!
A few weeks before my 2 grandkids ( 14 month & 3 years) were off to Mexico , my daughter in-law was searching for long sleeve tops to keep the kids protected from the sun.
I happened to see this pattern on my Instagram feed so ordered the PDF .
I made 1 top out of a light weight blue/white pin striped cotton- linen. 2 tops from cotton gauze. They were so quick to make and quite satisfying. The grandkids looked brilliant in them!

Breeze shirt for kids

Easy pattern to follow, good clear instructions. The shirt has quite nice finishing, looks great on the inside. Sizing runs very accurate. I sew a lot, so it's getting high praise from me.

Great shirt

A little more tricky than other T&T patterns but turns out well with perseverance.

Winter Motoring Checks

Updated on November, 24 2017

Winter is in full swing now, and that means your car or vehicle needs extra care in order to traverse the roads safely, as more breakdowns occur in winter than any other month. The 4th January 2010 was the AA’s busiest ever day, before being surpassed on 20th December in the same year, with 28,000 breakdowns occurring on that December day. This article will look at some of the extra checks to undertake before you set off on any journey this winter.

It is important that you regularly check your coolant levels and top them up if necessary. If you are unsure of the correct type of antifreeze required or the correct concentration, a professional, registered garage will be able to tell you.

If your battery is more than five years old, the risk of it failing in the winter months is much higher. Get it checked and replaced where necessary in advance, so you don’t have to worry about age getting the better of it and it failing unexpectedly.

All lights must be clean and spare bulbs must be housed in your car at all times. The lights need to be clean so you can see the road clearly and other road users can see you.

Your tyres should have a minimum of 3mm of tread if you are driving in the winter. There are also specialist winter tyres available that increase the safety of your vehicle, but whether you have specialist tyres or not, pressures should be checked every fortnight.

Ensure that your tank is always at least a quarter full. This protects you against delays, which can be quite common on winter days as drivers are more cautious and traffic can build up.

As well as mechanical and functional checks that you need to carry out on your vehicle, there are also precautions to take that don’t involve the car itself. These include:

– Fully charged mobile phones, and in-car chargers, where possible

– Any necessary medication

– First aid kit

– Atlas/Sat nav

In case of winter emergencies

– Plenty of blankets in case of breakdowns

– Ice scrapers

– Torch and batteries

– Snacks and water

– Screen wash

– A shovel, for severe snowfall issues

– Warm coats, scarves, hats and gloves

– Waterproof clothing

– Hot drinks in flasks

It is also important that you check the weather forecast in advance of any long journeys – this can save you getting caught in bad weather conditions that may hinder or totally ruin your trip.

By taking these precautions and being stringent and disciplined with your vehicle checks, you can save yourself a lot of time, hassle and even money. What’s more, it makes your vehicle safer to drive and safer to be around for passengers, pedestrians and other motorists alike.

Tyres Northampton proudly stock a wide range of premium quality and budget tyres to suit vehicles of all types. If you would like to know more, please get in touch with us today.

Since primary teeth normally fall out on their own, it might seem strange when Dr. Shiva recommends that your child have a tooth extracted. Some of the reasons she may suggest this include:

  • Only part of the tooth remains after an injury
  • As part of a treatment method for tooth decay
  • When your teenaged child has wisdom teeth that serve no useful purpose, or are difficult to keep clean
  • When the primary teeth are a few years behind schedule and could prevent the normal eruption of permanent teeth, or delay orthodontic treatment

Older children may need permanent teeth pulled for many of the same reasons.

Our Dental Team always strives to preserve the tooth whenever possible. When we must extract a tooth, we give you the option of choosing one of several forms of sedation dentistry for your child. This relieves his or her anxiety, and ensures cooperation during the procedure. We work with children who have special emotional or physical health needs to make the procedure as comfortable as possible for them.

What to Expect When Your Child Has a Tooth Extracted

To start the process, Dr. Shiva takes an X-ray of the affected tooth to check its condition. Next, she provides your child with a local anesthesia so the tooth and the area surrounding it remain numb. If you have opted for sedation dentistry for your child, he or she will receive it at this time. After ensuring that the area is completely numb, it’s time to extract the tooth. This involves gently rocking it with a special dental instrument so it slides easily out of the socket. On rare occasions, for instance, when it’s firmly rooted in the socket, a tooth may be removed in sections.

While your child may feel some discomfort following a tooth extraction, it should be short term and tolerable. To minimize discomfort and expedite healing, you may give antibiotics and painkillers as directed, and apply ice to the treated area. It’s also important to avoid hard foods for a few days to allow the area time to heal without unnecessary stress.

Every year, UI conducts its own company-wide campaign to support non-profit organizations in our service territory.  Employees generously give to the campaign to address the needs of communities in which they work and live.  In addition, key UI executives and managers have chaired regional campaigns, directed major campaign cabinet divisions, and served on boards, lending expertise and providing guidance to organizations in our community.

Many non-profit organizations have benefited from the generosity UI employees have demonstrated time and time again. Here are a few that have benefited:

  • Make A Wish – By the generous donations of employees, and with a match from the Avangrid Foundation, we were able to grant a Make-A-Wish to a child and his family.
  • Columbus House – The winter season is a cold one.  To help the homeless population in our communities stay warm, boxes of new and gently used scarves, hats and mittens/gloves were donated to the Columbus House in New Haven.
  • Christian Community Action – Food insecurity is a problem in CT.  Employees wanted to make a difference and hosted a food drive to benefit a local organization. The outpouring of support resulted in an abundance of food collected and donated to Christian Community Action this spring.

Development of People

UI is proud to support organizations throughout our service territory working today to provide individuals with the skills and education they need for better lives tomorrow. We are especially interested in programs focused on exposing young people to a variety of careers; programs promoting the study of math and science; programs providing guidance on financial literacy and “life skills;” and programs which affect economic outcomes for disadvantaged youth. Organizations and programs we believe are helping to address the socio-economic needs of Connecticut’s current and future residents include:

  • LEAP’s mission is to develop the strengths and talents of young leaders who create and implement year-round, community-based programming designed to achieve positive academic and social outcomes for children living in high-poverty urban neighborhoods. Our company is proud to support the Leaders-in-Training (LIT) program which addresses a critical need in New Haven for positive programming for middle school-aged youth during high risk “out-of-school” hours – specifically during the summer and after school. The objective of the LIT program is to help youth (ages 13-15) learn to make positive choices about themselves, their education, their careers, and their community.
  • The WorkPlace, Inc. through the American Job Center provides a career coach which is a vital resource supporting those in need who cannot access technology or an American Job Center in the area. It is a one-stop shop on wheels and mobile classroom which brings career services and computer training to job seekers! The Career Coach makes regular visits to cities and towns across Connecticut helping job seekers with Career Services, Job Search Assistance, Computer Skills Training and customized programs. The Career Coach travels throughout Fairfield County and the Valley to deliver this much needed service. We are proud to put our support toward this great cause.
  • Mercy Learning Center has been serving the greater Bridgeport area since 1987.  The center has provided basic literacy and life skills to low-income women by using a “holistic” approach within a compassionate, supportive community.  By educating these women, Mercy Learning Center provides critical training to help functionally illiterate women improve their skills and earning potential, creating a more hopeful future for themselves and their children.

This case portrays a poor patient outcome after a misdiagnosis.Case scenarioA previously healthy 35-year-old lawyer presents to a primary care office with a chief complaint of chest pain and a non-productive cough. The pain started suddenly hours prior to coming to the office while the patient was sitting at his desk. The patient describes the pain as sharp in nature, constantly present but made worse with inspiration and movement, and with radiation to the base of the neck. His blood pressure in the right arm and other vital signs are normal.On physical examination the only findings of note are chest wall tenderness and a faint cardiac murmur. The ECG in the office is normal. The patient is observed for an hour in the office and assessed.

Nurse with Patient

If you are admitted to the hospital for medical treatment, you will be supported by a variety of healthcare professionals who work together as a team to ensure you have a healthy, safe and efficient recovery. These team members include:

You will spend more time with your nurses than with any other member of your care team. They provide physical care, health education and emotional support. A registered nurse (RN) will plan your nursing care and on each shift, a specific registered nurse will supervise your care. Your nursing team may also include nurse practitioners, nursing assistants and other support staff dedicated to helping you get well.

Patient Care Technicians

A patient care technician (PCT) is an important member of your care team, as they assist the RN with procedures such as taking your vital signs, drawing blood samples, and caring for wounds. They have ongoing communication with the RN and the patient and help to fulfill your care plan.

Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners

Physician assistants (PA) and nurse practitioners (NP) are trained, certified and licensed to take medical histories, conduct physical examinations and diagnose and treat medical problems under the supervision of physicians.

The pharmacy team works closely with your doctor to make sure you get the most effective medications. Upon request, pharmacists are available to discuss your medicines and answer questions.

Physical therapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists and respiratory therapists help you return to normal activity as soon as possible.

Most patients are seen by a member of our inpatient team also known as a "hospitalist." A hospitalist is a physician (or a nurse practitioner) who specializes in the care of hospitalized patients whose primary care physicians do not see patients at the hospital. Our inpatient team works together to ensure that patients receive the best care possible. Please note hospitalists do not have outside offices and cannot refill medications or authorize referrals.

If you are a patient in the critical care unit, your doctor is an "intensivist," which is a hospital-based critical care physician who specializes in the care and treatment of patients needing critical care.

If you are a patient in the Family Birthing Center, you will be assisted by a "laborist," who is a hospital-based physician who specializes in obstetrics and gynecology.

Care Manager

A care manager may work with your team to plan your discharge and care after you leave the Medical Center. The care manager is the key contact with your insurance company while you are a patient. They help you and your loved ones understand and cope with disease and disability. They also find services in the community to assist in your recovery. If you have a question or problem about your discharge, ask to speak to your nurse, the charge nurse or the care manager in your area.

A chaplain is a designated minister at our medical center. He performs spiritual assessments and delivers pastoral care to patients, families and staff in recovery, crisis, grief, end of life and at death.

Our registered, licensed dietitians will monitor your nutritional status and treatment to ensure that you are making progress. They also provide nutrition education when needed.

Other Health Care Professionals and Support Services

Lab technicians, radiographers, housekeepers, security officers, facility engineers and nutritional hosts and hostesses are among the many people who make your hospital stay as beneficial and comfortable as possible.

UM BWMC volunteers give thousands of hours each year to our medical center to enhance the care of our patients and their families. They provide support throughout the hospital, including staffing the information desk, delivering mail and flowers, operating the gift shop, escorting patients and more.

With your help, your care team members will collaborate to create a plan for your care. Early on, it will help us figure out what your medical problems are, and how we will treat them. At first, it might include tests to diagnose the condition. Later, it can include procedures, medications, therapy and diet. It's important that you understand the plan. Please feel free to ask about it as many times as you need to.

Our team members wear certain colors depending on their role at the hospital. We call these our Colors of Care, so our patients know who is taking care of them at each and every moment.

World humanitarian data and trends 2013

image of World humanitarian data and trends 2013
This publication presents global and country-level data and trend analysis relevant to humanitarian assistance. Its purpose is to bring this information together in one place and present it in an accessible way. It is intended to establish a common baseline of humanitarian data that allow for comparisons across time. This data can be used to help support humanitarian policy decisions and provide country-level context that can support operational decision-making.

Humanitarian needs in 2012

In 2012, international organizations targeted 65 million people around the world for humanitarian assistance through inter-agency appeals. The appeals process brings aid organizations together to plan and deliver aid to people affected by disasters, conflict and other crises. The process does not target all people in humanitarian need. In 2012, 144 million people were displaced by conflict or affected by a disaster. Many receive help from their communities and government, or their needs go unrecognized and unaddressed. There is no comprehensive, global picture of humanitarian needs.

Earth is shaped like a lumpy potato

By Ferris Jabr Video: Potato-like planet A sleek satellite orbiting Earth has confirmed that the planet is not the simple squashed sphere we often imagine it to be. It is, in fact, more like a lumpy potato. Nearly a year’s worth of gravitational measurements from the European Space Agency’s Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) have yielded a colourful map portraying the geoid – the shape the Earth’s surface would be if it was entirely covered by water and influenced by gravity alone. The result is not a smooth sphere because mass is not distributed evenly within the Earth’s mantle. Different parts of the globe exert a different gravitational pull on the ocean, meaning that sea level is lower than expected in some places – represented by blue patches – and higher than expected in others – the red and yellow areas. In the visualisation, the vertical scale has been exaggerated by a factor of 7000, so the pits and crests are 7000 times shallower or taller, respectively, than depicted here. The visualisation shows true sea level, liberated from the artefacts of tides and winds. Mission scientist Roger Haagmans explains the influence of winds on the oceans through a simple model: suppose you have a bathtub full of water and you place a fan on one side to blow the surface: the water will pile up on the opposite side. Now shut the fan off, and the water will settle at a new level, according to gravity. The new geoid map will be useful for studying ocean circulation, ice dynamics, sea-level change and earthquakes. “We want to have a system to describe the actual ocean currents, how all the currents actually are in the absolute sense, because they transport heat and influence climate,” Haagmans says. “When we get more data we can make the final model more accurate and map the smallest currents.” Launched in March 2009,

Prof. Huber

Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Robert Huber FMRS

Center for Medical Biotechnology

Professor Robert Huber is a guest professor and member of the Center for Medical Biotechnology at the University of Duisburg-Essen. His research focuses on exploring and interpreting the three-dimensional structure of biological molecules. This work is of central importance for both basic research as well as the development of new medications.

Professor Huber was born on February 20th, 1937, in Munich and studied chemistry at the Technical University of Munich. In 1963, he received his doctorate degree from TU Munich with a dissertation on the crystal structure of a diazo bond and the insect pupation hormone ecdyson. Until 1971, he worked as a postdoc at TU Munich and at the Max Planck Institute for Eiweiß- und Lederforschung, where he developed the first protein-crystallographic lab in Germany through his research on insect enerythrocruorin and basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitors. From 1972 to 2005, he served as Director of the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry in Martinsried near Munich.

In 1988, Professor Huber was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for determining the three-dimensional structure of a photosynthetic reaction center. His work brought deeper insight into the process of photosynthesis, which produces the oxygen that all humans and animals need in order to breathe. The photosynthesis taking place in plants and some bacteria uses light as an energy source to form the 100 billion tons of oxygen per year required to sustain animal and human life on this planet.

Professor Huber is a member of the scientific council at a number of companies and co-founder of two biotech companies, Proteros and Supprevnol. The research group surrounding Professor Huber has published more than 1100 scientific articles about the structure and function of a wide spectrum of biological macromolecules and the methodology behind protein crystallography.
