Our custom made Mediterranean Clay ovens can be used to cook delicious pizzas, spit roast meats and many more fantastic dishes.
The ovens are made to a high quality finish, featuring a solid base and structure with a durable outer coating to ensure maximum insulation and a better seal for fuel efficiency. It also includes a chimney with a range of settings to help adjust the temperature for your specific cooking needs.
All our ovens are delivered to the UK free of charge (Scotland and Ireland might incur extra charges for delivery but please contact us to confirm before ordering) - please note though that due to the oven's weight (around 650 Kg), the item can only be offloaded onto your driveway/entrance. Then you will need to place it exactly where you want it on your property. Please read more on our delivery page or ask us if you have any questions about moving the oven or about the delivery process.
Also note, because the ovens are custom made to order, the delivery time is around 2 weeks. In some cases it might be slightly more (or less). But, we will keep you informed with regular updates and are happy to help you with any queries you may have.
I am really happy with my oven now it's here! I was informed I may have to wait a few weeks for delivery...I didn't mind. They are custom made and at this price it is understandable that they might keep costs down by shipping a few orders at a time so it seems keeping cost low for us customers!

Bottled water free zones in the works at high schools
TORONTO - As part of the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace's year-long campaign against the privatization of water, Catholic high schools in the archdiocese of Toronto are working to create "bottled water free zones" within their schools.
Themed "Water for All: Let Justice Flow," the kick-off for the campaign in schools took place over three student workshop days held in November for more than 400 students in the Greater Toronto Area. Since then, schools have started to take action.
"The idea is to create a culture where students don't bring bottled water or use bottled water even though they may have the right," said Luke Stocking, Central Ontario Animator for Development and Peace.

Raghurama, G and Narayan, R (1983) The structures of the ammonium halides. In: Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids, 44 (7). 633 -638.
A comparison with the alkali halides suggests that all the ammonium halides should occur in the NaCl centre-of-mass structure. Experimentally, at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, only NH,1 crystallizes in this structure, while NH,F is found in the ZnO structure, and NH&I and NH,Br occur in the CsCl structure. We show that a distributed charge on the NH,+ ion can explain these structures. Taking charges of + 0.2e on each of the five atoms in NH,+, as suggested by other studies, we have recomputed the Madelung energy in the cases of interest. A full ionic theory including electrostatic, van der Waals and repulsive interactions then explains the centre-of-mass structures of all the four ammonium halides. The thermal and pressure transitions are also explained reasonably well. The calculated phase diagram of NH,F compares well with experiment. Barring the poorly understood NH,F(II) phase, which is beyond the scope of this work, the other features are in qualitative agreement. In particular, the theory correctly predicts a pressure transition at room temperature from the ZnO structure directly to the CsCl structure without an intermediate NaCl phase. A feature of our approach is that we do not need to invoke hydrogen bonding in NH,F.

VCU Powers Past Struggling Fordham
March 4, 2014 · by leifskodnick · in Atlantic 10 Basketball, College Basketball, Fordham University, NCAA Men's Basketball, New York City, New York City Sports, The Bronx, Uncategorized, Virginia Commonwealth University. ·
VCU's head Coach Shaka Smart cheers on his team. (Photo: AP)
THE BRONX, N.Y. – The growing pains of the young Fordham basketball team were on display as the Rams lost to Virginia Commonwealth University 85-66 at Rose Hill Gymnasium in the Bronx on Thursday.
Fordham played aggressive defense early, hustling back and boxing out in the lane to grab 13 defensive rebounds and blocking seven V.C.U. shots in the first half.
Virginia Commonwealth found themselves down 26-19 with just over six minutes left to play in the first half, after going 4:13 without a field goal.
"Fordham did a great job early in the game being aggressive and getting us on our heels," said V.C.U. head coach Shaka Smart. "We didn't have as much energy as I would have liked us to have early on."
After Shaka Smart called a timeout for V.C.U., they were able to begin chipping away at Fordham's lead, finally tying the game at 30-apiece when Rob Brandenberg made two free throws with 3:15 left in the first half. Juvonte Reddic's layup gave V.C.U. a 32-30 lead with 2:32 left, and Fordham never regained the lead.
Despite shooting just 10-for-29 from the field in the first half, Virginia Commonwealth took a 34-32 lead to the locker room at halftime.
"I told them, 'We've gotta make a choice guys,'" said Smart, whose club improved to 21-7 overall and 9-4 in the Atlantic 10. "We've gotta make a choice to be better, to support each other, and play with great energy."
Smart's club responded, rattling off a 21-10 run in the first 8:02 of the second half. Included in that run three three-pointers by V.C.U. senior Rob Brandenburg, who was 4-for-4 from three-point range in the game.
"He's capable of that," said Smart. "He seemed to have a higher level of focus than he had in other games. That's easy to say since he made four threes, but you could see it in his eyes. When he as a senior steps up and makes big plays like that, we're very, very tough to beat."
As V.C.U. continued to force turnovers and convert those turnovers into points early in the second half, lengthening their lead, Pecora could see frustration from his players, and knew what begat that frustration.
"That's the residue of losing," said Pecora, who is 33-81 in his fourth season with Fordham. "Teams that win find ways to win, teams that lose, they know how to lose."
Pecora also noted that Fordham's 14 turnovers, including five by guard Bryan Smith, hurt his club's effort. Three of Smith's turnovers came during V.C.U.'s run at the start of the second half.
"Part of that is that the guards weren't doing a good enough job freeing themselves, and Bryan was stuck on an island on a couple occasions trying to get the ball up," Pecora said. "You look at those five, and Travion Leonard's two, and that's half of our turnovers."
Overall, however, Pecora noted that Fordham's 9-17 season has been precipitated by two major issues.
"One has been getting that kind of team effort for 40 minutes consistently. We've had a couple of games we're we've gotten it and we won a couple of games early," said Pecora. "And our offensive field goal percentage. We had some really good looks, and if you're going to beat V.C.U. you've gotta knock those down. We shot 5-of-18 from three. That can't happen."
Overall, Fordham shot 22-for-58 from the field, and just 10-for-30 in the second half, while also turning the ball over 14 times.
Pecora, however, intimated that this is all part of a young team, which includes 11 freshmen and sophomores, growing and learning together.
"It's hard when you have one senior," Pecora said. "As compared to when you have three seniors, and three juniors in there, and they're kinda weaning the young guys. And that's where we've got to get this program. We've got to get veteran players playing well."

Guest Editorial | Covid, crisis, class
By Mindanews on March 28, 2020
For not choosing who to infect between rich and poor, between rulers and ruled, and between the healthy and ill, Covid-19 may be considered an equalizer. But the absence of distinction stops at the question of who can get infected. Hence a different perspective is needed in appraising the impact of the pandemic across social classes in the context of State response to the crisis it has created.
Take the case of the lockdowns, or, to use its sanitized term, community quarantines. Many would dismiss the inconveniences it has caused as a necessary evil to safeguard public health, and so, they say, all citizens should just stay in their homes and not argue with authorities. Some even scoffed at those who insisted to be allowed to go outside so they could earn for their daily sustenance as stubborn, or worse. "Why can't these people just obey?" they'd ask in exasperation.
These views come from people who watch the effects of the lockdowns play out in the streets, slums and checkpoints from the safety of their comfortable homes. They come from people whose professions allow them to work at home thus the restrictions on movement don't bother them. They come from people who own a car or two thus the shutdown of public transport wouldn't matter. In short, these are views borne more out of contempt defined by class and privilege than of concern and compassion.
It doesn't occur to the more fortunate among us that in most cities as many as ten members of a poor household live together in a single shanty with poor ventilation and hygiene. Add to that the lack of clean water, poor nutrition and the characteristic squalor of congested urban poor colonies. Surely, these odds wouldn't make the de facto house arrest a luxury.
Doesn't it sound strange that in times of calamities like typhoons, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions the same people could easily draw a huge amount of kindness from their hearts for the victims? In the current crisis however there's no sense of solidarity with the plight of carpenters, construction workers, drivers, vendors and other people for whom the "work at home" scheme couldn't apply. The privileged ones think their "stubbornness" is an issue of law enforcement instead of view it as an act of survival.
Could it be that the privileged classes take such "stubbornness" as a threat to their survival? Deep inside perhaps they believe that keeping the poor and the unkempt away from public spaces will improve the country's chances of overcoming the disease. If not, they simply find peace in the notion that while the draconian measures would affect all, there are those who would suffer more. In this sense, the lockdowns, which would serve no purpose if not done alongside a massive testing for the disease like our Asian neighbors did, have merely become a tool of exclusion and oppression.
Is this what they mean by "social distancing" all along?

And how prayer and property rights saved the day.
We've all heard some version of the story of Thanksgiving, whether as a story of pilgrim gratitude toward helpful Indians or gratitude for God's providential care. But there's more to the story: communism.
If you've forgotten your history lessons, here is a quick review: the first year after the Mayflower landed was a hard one. Only half of the Puritans who had originally set out from England survived, and when the ship arrived at Plymouth, many of the pilgrims fell ill and died. Those who survived found that their Old World farming methods did not work as well in the New World as they had hoped. They could not grow enough food to survive.
But when all seemed lost, an English-speaking Indian named Squanto arrived and taught them to fertilize their corn with fish, and taught them other life saving techniques such as stream-fishing, growing pumpkins and hunting beaver. Squanto, likely a baptized Catholic, also helped the pilgrims to secure a peace treaty with nearby Indians.
Grateful to God for their deliverance from death, the Puritan leader William Bradford declared a day of thanksgiving, and invited Squanto's adopted tribe the Wampanoags to celebrate with them. It was a huge success. The Wampanoags enjoyed the celebration so much, they stayed for three days.
Now here's the part of the story you may not know. Unfortunately, the pilgrims' troubles were not over. Although Squanto's farming techniques worked better than their old ones, the pilgrims still could not produce enough food. Was it bad luck? Bad soil? No. The Mayflower pilgrims were part of a joint stock company which stipulated that the pilgrims would pool their resources, and receive a share of the profit.
The strategy turned out to be deeply misguided, working about as well as various communist economic schemes hundreds of years later. The sad state of the colony after two years of communism, wrote William Bradford, "may well evidence the vanity of that conceit of Plato's and the other ancients applauded by some of later times; that the taking away of property and the bringing of community into a commonwealth would make them happy and flourishing; as if they were wiser than God" (p. 121).
This had good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so that more corn was planted than could have been by any other means the Governor could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble, and gave far better content. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression.
In fact, it's estimated the colonists planted about six times the crops they would have planted otherwise.
With new farming techniques and an amended government, the pilgrims did all they humanly could to ward off starvation. But they could not control the weather. A drought settled on the colony and threatened to kill the corn before the harvest. Recognizing with the Psalmist that "except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it," the colonists turned to God. According to Bradford, they "set apart a solemn day of humiliation to seek the Lord by humble & fervent prayer, in this great distress." What was the outcome?
Then William Bradford again proclaimed a day of Thanksgiving to God, the forerunner of the American tradition of Thanksgiving.
I found it interesting you posted this article without any quotes from CS Lewis……What did CS Lewis have to say about communism?


Much to our distress, the prophet Yirmiyahu's role was not always to express words of comfort and hope to the Nation of Israel. At times, he harshly rebuked the Nation and warned them of impending disaster if they continued to ignore the Divine will. The prophet loved the Nation of Israel, but was forced against his will to deliver the terrible news. Out of great humility, he attempted to decline his role: "Hashem, G-d, I do not know how to speak, I am a young boy" (Yirmiyahu 1:6). But Hashem would not change his plans: "Do not say 'I am a young boy,' rather go wherever I send you and say whatever I command you. Do not fear, for I am with you to save you" (ibid. v. 7-8).
Yirmiyahu's words are not always encouraging. He brings a harsh rebuke, but one that stems from love. His is a last ditch effort to save the rebelling Nation from the impending strike that awaits them. "I see a boiling pot, tilting away from the north" (ibid. v. 13). "From the north, disaster will be poured out on all the inhabitants of the Land. I am about to call all of the families of the northern kingdoms," says Hashem, and they shall come and each of them will set up his thrones in the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem. They will come against all her surrounding walls and against all the towns of Yehudah" (ibid. 14-15). "I will pronounce my judgments on them, for they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods" (ibid. v. 16).
According to the Torah and Halachah, an inseparable part of rebuking someone is feeling love for him: "Do not hate your brother in your heart," "You shall surely rebuke your fellow," "Love your fellow as yourself" (Vayikra 19). Rebuke must flow out of love, and true rebuke leads to true love. Yirmiyahu turned to the Nation in an attacking manner, but the critical starting point of his words and his approach is the deep love and respect he has for them, despite their deviations.
This is the first prophecy which Hashem commanded Yirmiyahu to deliver to the Nation of Israel: "Go and proclaim in the ears of Jerusalem saying: Thus says Hashem: I remember for your sake the kindness of your youth, the love as a bride, your following after Me in the desert, in an unsown land" (ibid. 2:2). This connection between the Nation of Israel and Hashem is a holy, eternal one. The love of the bridal days eternally permeates the relationship, the taste of the honeymoon never dissipates. Despite disputes and betrayals, the original connection will not be erased. The love will not depart. This is the foundation for Yirmiyahu's harsh rebuke of the Nation.
The Nation of Israel's worth is immutable, despite errant behavior. "Israel is holy to Hashem, the first of His produce" (ibid. 2:3). Essential holiness and purity reside in the Jewish soul, even if the Nation of Israel stains itself with all types of corruption. It cannot be erased. This means that when Hashem appoints a Nation to attack us, it is not because Hashem has now chosen them to be the treasured nation, while we are cast aside. It means, rather, that Hashem is using them as his instrument. The wickedness of Nebuchadnezar and the Babylonians was used by Hashem for a positive purpose: to lead the Nation of Israel back to the proper path. This did not excuse them from responsibility and, in the end, the Babylonians were punished for their cruel behavior towards the Nation of Israel, as Yirmiyahu says: "All who devour him will bear guilt, evil shall come upon them" (ibid.).
It is obvious that being chosen by Hashem does not absolve the Nation of Israel from its ethical obligations. On the contrary, an additional level of responsibility was placed upon the Nation, and if we do not fulfill it, we are punished. But punishment does not at all mean that we have an irreversible relationship with Hashem, as Christian theology claims. The punishment is therapeutic: it is what allows the love between Israel and Hashem to be renewed.

LePage threatens to veto deposit on 'nips,' remove them from Maine stores
The governor responds to a bill, likely headed for his desk, that would add the miniature liquor bottles to the state's bottle deposit bill to reduce littering.
By Kevin MillerStaff Writer
AUGUSTA — Gov. Paul LePage vowed Tuesday to veto a bipartisan bill that would impose a 5-cent deposit on miniature liquor bottles, and threatened to end sales of the popular "nips" in Maine.
LePage accused lawmakers of passing a bill to reduce litter without considering its administrative costs or possible effects on companies that do business in Maine. Facing a potential legislative override of his veto, the governor also said his administration would – in the event of the bill's passage – immediately begin the process of "delisting" nips bottles from the state's authorized liquor products, removing a product that accounts for a growing share of spirits sales and a growing litter problem.
Bill to add bottle deposit to 'nips' advances
As more 'nips' bottles litter Maine landscape, group calls for 15-cent deposit
LePage made the veto threat hours after the Maine Senate voted 32-3 to pass a bill that would order retailers to collect a nickel bottle deposit on each 50-milliliter liquor bottle beginning in 2019. The bill, which passed the House last week on a 111-34 vote, is touted by supporters as a way to reduce roadside litter and encourage recycling of the mini liquor bottles
The bill faces more votes in both the House and Senate. Both chambers endorsed the bill by veto-proof margins during initial voting.
Popular miniature bottles of liquor, 'nips,' are piling up on Maine roadsides, but a push to impose a 5-cent deposit on them is running into opposition from Gov. LePage.
The governor also called out the bill's sponsor, Republican Sen. Tom Saviello of Wilton, who has clashed with the governor in the past and who co-chairs the Legislature's Environment and Natural Resources Committee.
"Senator Saviello said he would call my bluff that I would delist 50-milliliter 'nip' bottles if this bill passes. A Maine legislator should know better than that," LePage said in a statement. "If this bill passes, I will veto the bill and I will instruct the Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Operations to begin working immediately with the Liquor and Lottery Commission to delist all nips from sale in Maine. I do so with regret, but the severe impact of this bill leaves me no choice."
In the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2016, the Maine Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Operations sold an estimated 8.4 million nips bottles to agency liquor stores. That figure is expected to surpass 12 million bottles this fiscal year. Backers of the bill now under consideration, L.D. 56, contend that untold numbers of those bottles are causing litter problems as buyers toss the single-serve bottles onto roadsides or along the curb.
Just one brand of liquor, the cinnamon-flavored whiskey product called Fireball, accounted for 42 percent of nips sales in Maine last fiscal year, according to the bureau's figures. Fireball is produced by Louisiana-based Sazerac, which has a bottling plant in Lewiston that employs an estimated 120 workers.
The liquor bureau opposed L.D. 56 in part because of the logistics and costs of applying deposit stickers to each tiny bottle. The version of the bill passed by both the House and the Senate carries an estimated price tag of more than $1 million a year and would potentially require a contract negotiation with Pine State Trading Co., which is the state's liquor distributor. However, the fiscal note stated that it's anticipated that "the Alcoholic Beverages Fund will have sufficient revenue to fund the additional allocation for the foreseeable future."
Lawmakers have said that delaying the implementation date until 2019 should allow many companies to incorporate the 5-cent deposit notice into their labels, thereby reducing the costs in Maine.
LePage appeared to be responding to comments that Saviello made Tuesday during brief remarks on the Senate floor. Saviello, in turn, alluded to threats by LePage to work to remove nips from Maine stores if the bill passed.
"Somebody who pulls it off the shelf will pull about $7 million in revenue from the state, including about $1 million in tax revenue," Saviello said. "I would think twice before I did that."
Saviello said Tuesday night that any costs from the bottle deposit bill would come from the state's dedicated fund that receives revenues from liquor sales, not from the General Fund, which finances state government. And that liquor fund, Saviello added, would take a financial hit if LePage were to remove nips from store shelves, because of the lost revenue.

El regreso
Stock: 2-3 Days
Author: Nicholas Sparks
In the romantic tradition of Dear John, an injured Navy doctor meets two extremely important women whose secrets will change the course of his life in this number one New York Times best seller.
Trevor Benson never intended to move back to New Bern, North Carolina. But when a mortar blast outside the hospital where he worked sent him home from Afghanistan with devastating injuries, the dilapidated cabin he'd inherited from his grandfather seemed as good a place to regroup as any.
Tending to his grandfather's beloved beehives, Trevor isn't prepared to fall in love with a local...yet, from their very first encounter, Trevor feels a connection with deputy sheriff Natalie Masterson that he can't ignore. But even as she seems to reciprocate his feelings, she remains frustratingly distant, making Trevor wonder what she's hiding.
Further complicating his stay in New Bern is the presence of a sullen teenage girl, Callie, who lives in the trailer park down the road. Trevor hopes Callie can shed light on the mysterious circumstances of his grandfather's death, but she offers few clues - until a crisis triggers a race to uncover the true nature of Callie's past, one more intertwined with the elderly man's passing than Trevor could ever have imagined.

Born in 1913 in Vienna, Austria, Martin Eisler received his architecture degree in 1936. However, as in the life of so many Brazilian designers, it was the looming thundercloud of the second world war that made him move just after his studies were finished. First to Czechoslovakia (where his parents lived) and later, in 1938, to Argentina. Here Eisler began to exercise his profession as an architect and interior designer and opened up his interior design firm, later named Interieur Forma. In the early 1950s he decided to move to Brazil.
Born in Brescia in 1927, Carlo Hauner studied technical drawing and drawing at the Brera Academy in Milan, Italy. In 1948, he successfully participated in the Venice Biennale after which he moved to Brazil, where he dedicated himself to the design of textile, ceramics, furniture and architecture. In only a very short time he founded a furniture production company and purchased a factory from Lino Ba Bardi and her husband Pietro Bardi, renaming it Móveis Artesanal.
In 1953 Hauner met Martin Eisler, who was looking for help to produce furniture for the home of his brother-in-law, Ernesto Wolf. Eisler reached out to Hauner and the rest is history. The two men connected and with Wolf's financial backing, they opened Galeria Artesanal (a store to their company Móveis Artesenal) on a busy street in São Paulo. Being highly ambitious and with an eye on the international market as well as the upcoming office market, Móvies Artesanal later changed into Forma. Together with Oca, Forma became one of the biggest names in Brazilian furniture production. Even managing to attract an exclusive licence to sell Knoll furniture bringing big names in international design such as Mies Van Der Rohe, Charles Eames and Harry Bertoia to the Brazilian furniture market.
Hauner and Eisler's designs are characterized by the use of Brazilian woods, thin tubular frames and range from furniture, to ceramics and textiles. Some of their most famous designs are the concha / haia chair (in English often referred to as 'shell' chair) and the 'Costella' lounge chair. In 1958 Hauner, supposedly on instigation of his Italian wife, decided to return to Italy to open Forma di Brescia, which catered to e.g., the embassy of Brazil in Rome and Vatican City. Eventually Hauner sold his part of the company, leaving Eisler solely at the helm, to focus himself on painting and the making of wine on Salina, a little isle just above Sicily. After a full life the artist, designer and serial entrepreneur died in 1997.

VoiceHost has passed the UK governments G-Cloud 8 application criteria. G-Cloud, launched in 2012, allows public-sector bodies to acquire commodity services online. Total spending through the project reached £1.05 billion by the end of February, with 52 percent of sales going to smaller businesses, according to the most recent figures provided by the Government Digital Service (GDS).
VoiceHosts' VoIP telephony products, Hosted PBX and SIP Trunking, will be successfully listed on the Digital Marketplace as SaaS (Software as a Service - provisioning of the provider's application as a cloud service).
The VoiceHost products were awarded G-Cloud supplier status and will be available in the digitial marketplace from 1st August 2016.
"Approaching the horizontal market as a G Cloud 8 supplier will allow VoiceHost to gain greater exposure with enterprise consumers".
Dan @gov_procurement tells @technorwich that #GCloud now has 2300 suppliers providing over 22,000 services.
The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) has brought together Government's central commercial capability into a single organisation, amalgamating Government. Procurement Service with other commercial teams from the Cabinet Office and central government departments.
CCS is an executive agency of the Cabinet Office and operates as a trading fund under the Government Trading Funds Act 1973. Their remit is to work with both departments and organisations across the whole of the public sector to ensure maximum value is extracted from every commercial relationship and improve the quality of service delivery. The CCS goal is to become the "go-to" place for expert commercial and procurement services. CCS has brought together policy, advice and direct buying to ensure that policy development is closely linked to implementation, with more emphasis on pre- and post-contract activity to extract more value for the taxpayer. With both service delivery and advisory capability, services include contract management and supplier performance management to ensure that the Government acts as a true, single customer; freeing up individual organisations to focus their procurement expertise on what is unique to them.
CCS also works closely with arm's length bodies, non-departmental public bodies, executive agencies and organisations across the whole of the UK public sector including health, local government, education, devolved administrations, emergency services and not for profit organisations. There are a number of ways to access CCS services: self service via the website; assisted delivery, such as eAuctions and national further competitions run on behalf of multiple customers; and a fully managed service for departments.

I. Amos
I. Amos, an American merchant, born in Groton, Mass., April 22, 1786, died in Boston, Dec. 31, 1852. In 1799 he became a clerk in a country store in Dunstable, and soon afterward in Groton. In April, 1807, he went to Boston, and upon the failure of his employers there, he commenced business upon his own account in December, 1807, as a dry-goods merchant. On Jan. 1, 1814, he entered into a partnership with his brother Abbott, who for the previous five years had been his chief clerk, which continued uninterruptedly until the death of Amos. The business operations of the firm were conducted with great success, and both brothers aided in the establishment of manufactures in New England, thereby largely adding to their fortunes. The naturally benevolent disposition of Amos gradually led him to resist the demands which his business imposed upon his time and inclinations; and when, after a serious illness in 1831, he was compelled to retire permanently from active participation in the affairs of his firm, he devoted the remaining years of his life to acts of beneficence. From the beginning of the year 1829 till his death he expended, according to his books, $639,000 for charitable purposes. Nearly five sixths of this amount were given during the last 11 years of his life.
Among the public objects of his bounty were Williams college, to which he gave nearly $40,000; the academy in Groton, now called the Lawrence academy, on which he expended at different times $20,000; Wabash college, Kenyon college, the theological seminary at Bangor, Me., and several others. Books he distributed in whole libraries, sending collections to many literary institutions and deserving persons. He established and for some time maintained a child's infirmary in Boston, and gave $10,000 for the completion of the monument on Bunker hill. His private benefactions were almost innumerable, and several rooms in his house were used as the receptacles of articles for distribution. - See "Extracts from the Diary and Correspondence of the late Amos Lawrence, with a Brief Account of some Incidents in his Life; edited by his son, William R. Lawrence, M. D." (Boston, 1855).
II. Abbott
II. Abbott, an American merchant, brother of the preceding, born in Groton, Mass., Dec. 16, 1792, died in Boston, Aug. 18, 1855. In his 16th year he was bound an apprentice to his brother Amos in Boston, and in 1814 he became one of the firm of A. and A. Lawrence, which for many years conducted a prosperous business in the sale of foreign cotton and woollen goods on commission. Subsequent to 1830 they were largely interested as selling agents in the manufacturing companies of Lowell, and in the latter part of his life Abbott Lawrence participated extensively in the China trade. In 1834 he was elected a representative in congress, and was appointed a member of the committee on ways and means. He declined an election to the next congress, but served for a brief period in 1839-'40. In 1842 he was appointed a commissioner on the part of Massachusetts on the subject of the northeastern boundary. He took an active part in the presidential canvass of 1844 as a supporter of Mr. Clay, as he had done four years previous in the election of Gen. Harrison; and in the whig national convention of 1848 he was a prominent candidate for vice president, lacking but six votes of a nomination.
In 1849 President Taylor offered him a seat in the cabinet, which he declined; but he accepted the post of minister to Great Britain, which he occupied with credit until October, 1852, when he was recalled at his own request. The remainder of his life was devoted to his private business. In 1847 he gave to Harvard university $50,000 to found the scientific school, bearing his name, connected with that institution; and he bequeathed a like sum in aid of the same object. He also left $50,000 for the erection of model lodging houses, the income to be for ever applied to certain public charities. - See Hunt's "Lives of American Merchants," vol. ii.

I. Sir Henry Montgomery
I. Sir Henry Montgomery, a British soldier, born in Matura, Ceylon, June 28, 1806, died in Lucknow, July 4, 1857. He studied in the military college at Addiscombe, obtained a cadetship in the Bengal artillery in 1821, served in the Afghan campaign in 1843, and in the same year, having then reached the rank of major, was appointed British resident at Katmandu. He distinguished himself in the Sutlej campaigns, and from .1846 to 1849 was agent for the governor general on the N. W. frontier and resident at Lahore. He was next appointed chief of the board of administration in the Punjaub, and received the commission of colonel. From 1852 to 1857 he was agent of the governor general in Rajpootana. Although ill health demanded his return to England, he consented at the request of the Indian government to assume the chief commis-sionership of Oude, and arrived at Lucknow in March, just before the commencement of the mutiny. When the first disturbances occurred he demanded and obtained full powers as chief military commander in Oude, receiving at the same time a commission as brigadier general, and the memorable defence of the residency was made under his direction up to the time of his death. He was mortally wounded by a shell July 2, and died at the residency two days afterward.
He was the author of "Adventures of an Officer in Runjeet Singh's Service," and of various military and political essays, originally published in the " Calcutta Review," which were collected and reprinted in London in 1859. His life has been written by Maj. Gen. Sir H. B. Edwardes and Herman Merivale (London, 1872).
II. John Laird Mair
II. John Laird Mair, lord, brother of the preceding, born in Richmond, Yorkshire, March 4, 1811. He went to India in 1829 as a cadet in the Bengal civil service, passed through various subordinate stations, and was magistrate successively at Delhi, Paniput, and Goorgaon. About 1845 he was appointed judge, magistrate, and collector in the central district of Bengal, whence he was transferred in 1846 to the chief commissioner-ship of the newly annexed provinces beyond the Sutlej. In 1852 he was appointed chief commissioner of the Punjaub. He was still at the head of affairs in that country when the mutiny broke out in 1857, and owing to his prompt and judicious measures the Punjaub was one of the few parts of Bengal in which the rebellion never succeeded. He was created a baronet Aug. 16, 1858. In the same year he returned home, where he was made a member of the privy council, and received from the court of directors a life pension of £2,000. At the end of 1863 he was appointed viceroy of India. He retired in 1868, and was created a baron, April 4, 1869. In 1870 he was elected a member of the London school board, and chosen chairman.

The Starving Artist Myth — BUSTED!
The starving artist is starving by choice. Art does not have to be synonymous with poverty. Even Vincent Van Gogh, perhaps the poster boy for the starving artist archetype, wasn't exactly starving. He worked in a prestigious gallery for six years, and he received a generous monthly stipend from his wealthy brother.
Maybe it was the Bedroom in Arles painting that perpetuated the myth, or maybe it was his sad demise before seeing any recognition for his work. Whatever the case, Van Gogh wasn't the starving artist that he's remembered as, and artists today don't have to be either.
So if your child has a passion for art and wants to pursue an art-related career, there's no need to panic. There are plenty of very lucrative options: graphic design, industrial design, interior design, fashion design and illustration–just to name a few.
Take industrial design, for example. Everything man made has an artists hand on it. Someone had to design your furniture, your car, all of the electronics around you, even your toothbrush!
attorney marketing company and marketing skills, necessary tools to thrive as a visual artist.
A good art school doesn't build only art skills — they teach their students how to leverage those skills in the marketplace to create both a life and a living.
So your challenge as the parent of a budding artist, is to find a selection of art schools that appeal to your child, contact their admissions departments (ideally when your kid is in middle school), and find out what it will take to get your child into those schools and to qualify for scholarships to help pay for it (good art degrees aren't cheap).
You want to ask them what their IDEAL student looks like, and then use that picture to build a road map through middle and high school that will get your child to that place.
Along the way, challenge your teen to use their artistic skills to make money and help offset the cost of art supplies, lessons and specialized training programs.
My 15-year-old started a successful henna tattoo business. A local tea house has agreed to let her set up a booth once a week, and in a few hours, she can make 3 – 4 times more than her peers who have typical teen jobs, which will help pay for the expensive vocal lessons she needs to get into her first choice music school.
Young artists can teach drawing or painting to younger kids, do face painting at birthday parties or make and sell any number of cool, artsy things.
This Saturday at 10:00AM we are talking more about this with Christine Lange of Ringling School of Art & Design. Local folks can tune in live on 1220AM, 106.9FM or 98.9FM.

INTERNATIONAL - Foxconn Technology Group, the biggest assembler of Apple Inc. iPhones, aims to cut 20 billion yuan ($2.9 billion) from expenses in 2019 as it faces "a very difficult and competitive year," according to an internal company memo.
The iPhone business will need to reduce expenses by 6 billion yuan next year and the company plans to eliminate about 10 percent of non-technical staff, according to the memo obtained by Bloomberg. The company's spending in the past 12 months is about NT$206 billion ($6.7 billion).
"The review being carried out by our team this year is no different than similar exercises carried out in past years to ensure that we enter into each new year with teams and budgets that are aligned with the current and anticipated needs of our customers, our global operations and the market and economic challenges of the next year or two," Foxconn said in an emailed statement in response to Bloomberg queries.
Foxconn's moves are likely to add to the gloom enveloping Apple and suppliers for the iPhone, its most important product. Just last week, four suppliers on three continents cut their revenue estimates because of weak demand. That set off a rout in technology stocks that has spread to the broader market in recent days.
Goldman Sachs cut its price target for Apple for the third time this month because of weak iPhone demand in China and other emerging markets. Analyst Rod Hall warned of "material risk" to guidance if the current trends continue.
Apple dropped into bear market territory Tuesday, closing more than 20 percent below its October peak. On a single day last week, Lumentum Holdings Inc., one of the suppliers that warned of soft demand, plunged 33 percent, while AMS AG tumbled 22 percent. This week, as concern spread, the S&P 500 erased its gain for 2018.
Taipei-based Foxconn assembles everything from iPhones and laptop computers to Sony Corp. PlayStations at factories in China and around the world. Foxconn has been hit by a slowing smartphone market, while trade tensions with the U.S. add to global uncertainty. Earlier this month its flagship Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. posted earnings that were about 12 percent below expectations.
But most of its suppliers rely on increased unit volumes to grow their businesses and have no profitable back-up plan as the industry growth slows. That has led to the financial warnings at companies such as Lumentum and Japan Display Inc. "Suppliers are more dependent on volume than Apple," said Woo Jin Ho, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence.

Kevan Miller's Injury Worse Than Bruins Initially Believed; D-Man Downgraded To Week-To-Week
Filed Under:Boston Bruins, David Pastrnak, Injuries, Kevan Miller, NHL, Sean Kuraly, Sports News
BOSTON (CBS) — Pretty much everything is going right for the Boston Bruins these days. Well, for most everyone except Kevan Miller.
The defenseman hasn't played since Feb. 23, after suffering an upper-body injury while blocking a shot in the previous game on Feb. 20. Miller was initially considered to be day-to-day, but head coach Bruce Cassidy said that status has been downgraded to week-to-week after an MRI revealed some bad news.
"Kevan Miller was not out there," Cassidy said after Monday's practice. "He got a little bit of bad news the other day with his MRI. We didn't think it was much, [but] they found something there. So it's a little more serious than we first thought. So he's been classified as week-to-week, as opposed to day-to-day."

The 31-year-old Miller has skated in 36 games for the Bruins, registering six assists, a plus-5 rating, and a 49.7 Corsi For percentage. He missed time earlier this season after taking a shot off the throat.
Miller is among a handful of injured Bruins, including David Pastrnak (thumb) and Sean Kuraly (concussion). Cassidy said that Kuraly is "trending toward" playing on Thursday, after he suffered a concussion late in Thursday's win in Tampa. Pastrnak is still a ways away from a return, after he underwent a procedure to repair a torn ligament in his thumb in February.
The Bruins are riding a 16-game point streak, going 12-0-4 since their last regulation loss on Jan. 19. Despite that surge, they still hold just a three-point lead over the Maple Leafs for the second place spot in the Atlantic Division. (The first-place Lightning own a 17-point lead over Boston.) The Bruins own a 10-point cushion over the Eastern Conference's current wild-card teams, which makes it likely that the Bruins will once again face Toronto in the first round of the playoffs.
