Nueces County Legislative Delegation Statement on the Harbor Bridge Project
Senator Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa, State Rep. Abel Herrero, & State Rep. Todd Hunter are Monitoring the Progress of the Harbor Bridge Project
AUSTIN, TX – Last week, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) announced the suspension of the FIGG Bridge Group (FIGG) from the Harbor Bridge Project. The suspension allows TxDOT time to fully review the recent findings by the National Transportation Safety Board and their investigation of the 2018 Florida International University pedestrian bridge collapse that was designed by FIGG.
As your state elected officials, we have been communicating and working with TxDOT, the agency responsible for overseeing all aspects of the Harbor Bridge Replacement Project, to ensure the agency is taking all precautions necessary to construct a safe bridge.
Public safety is our top priority, and we have received commitments from TxDOT that there are no safety concerns with any part of the project that has been completed to date. The suspension of FIGG is to ensure that a comprehensive review is being conducted of design plans for construction that has not yet been completed. The process established by TxDOT has multiple checks, including both internal and independent engineers with expertise in these types of projects.
While there will be delays for the completion of the project, there is no estimated completion date at this time. We support TxDOT's efforts to review all aspects of the project and their commitment to construct a safe bridge.
Over the next 30 days, TxDOT has agreed to brief our offices weekly on the status of the project. In about a month, TxDOT will provide an update to the residents of Nueces and San Patricio Counties of their review of the project. Any questions from the public or the media can be made to Rickey Dailey with the TxDOT Corpus Christi District Office at (361) 808-2544.


I had thought about putting candied pecans on top but since I didn't have any and didn't have time to make any I used chocolate chips instead :). One of my favorite characteristics of cheesecake is the creamy texture. Making sure that the cream cheese is at room temperature or close to it is so important to achieving the correct texture. I've been known to unwrap the 8 ounces of cream cheese and put it on a plate and pop it into the microwave for 20-25 seconds to soften it up to speed up the process.
I put Oreos on the bottom of these cute little cups of chocolate goodness and the great thing about using Oreos is that you can use any flavor you want! I wouldn't think that the color would make a difference (like the pastel Spring ones I remember seeing one time) because the filling pretty much melts into the cookies. But, using a peanut butter or mint flavored Oreo may be an awesome addition. I also don't think double stuffed would be good either, just because it would take up more space which means less cheesecake filling, unless that's what you want of course. Another fun idea would be to use white chocolate instead of semi-sweet, then use the vanilla Oreos. That would be a nice twist that could be topped with some fresh fruit for summer. Happy Baking!
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Place a cupcake liner in 7 cavities of a muffin pan. Place one Oreo in each cupcake liner, set pan aside.
2. In the bowl of a mixer, whip the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add the brown sugar and egg, then mix on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Mix in the chocolate and coffee until smooth. Evenly divide the batter between the 7 cupcake liners. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
3. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the cheesecakes are set in the middle. If they crack a little it is okay, they should settle and the cracks will come together again.
4. Let the cheesecakes cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then place the cheesecakes in the refrigerator for at least two hours to let them set up completely.

Q: In Flex, how do I adjust the font size to align a label to an icon? I'm building a small Flex UI component that displays a colored square next to a label of text. I want to be able to specify a size for the square and internally adjust the label's properties such that the line height matches the square and the text is vertically centered with respect to the square.
At the moment, I'm using mx.controls.Label for the text. Setting the fontSize style to the square's size does not work, the label then becomes too big. After tracing a couple of values in the debugger, I found that

*

*the line height of the internal text field (sum of the ascent and descent properties of the TextFieldMetrics object obtained through getTextFieldMetircs()) seems to end up about 120% of what I specify a s font size.

*there's a default "leading" of 2 pixels that I can not change directly at the Label level, this adds to the overall height of the internal text field (getTextFieldMetrics().height)

*the height of the Label component then is an additional 5 pixels larger than that, I don't know where those come from.

My current solution is to set the font size to Math.round((iconSize - 2) / 1.2) but while this works out OK-ish, it seems unsatisfactory. Is there a more reliable and more straightforward approach to this?

A: Meanwhile, I have experimented a little with using a UITextField instead of a Label and that lead me to an interesting observation: Both components seem to do some internal scaling and resizing based on the font size, so that the rendered text will always have some padding around it. The numbers returned from getTextLineMetrics() are different for the same font size when using either component.
The UITextField renders the text such that the total pixel height of the component fits the number specified as fontSize, which in turn makes the actual text slightly smaller (about 2-4 pixels). Also, it seems to ignore when you set leading to zero.
The Label fits the resulting line height to what was specified as fontSize, making the component larger than that (by approximately 5 pixels).
While this is certainly confusing to me, I'm satisfied with using the Label component and positioning it such that the excess whitespace on top and bottom is clipped by the parent component and doesn't matter anymore. The text then has the right size. I'm centering vertically, which is easy, but it would also work to use the numbers from getTextLineMetrics() for more sophisticated positioning.

Hidden treasures : the copper cauldron.
"The hour has come but not the man!"
The sea serpent in Lake Mjösen.
Outwitting the huldre suitor with gun fire.
The gardvord beats up the troll.
Often lacking the clear episodic structure of folktales about talking animals and magic objects, legends grow from retellings of personal experiences. Christiansen isolated some seventy-seven legend types, and many of these are represented here in absorbing stories of St. Olaf, hidden treasures, witches, and spirits of the air, water, and earth. The ugly, massively strong, but slow-witted trolls are familiar to English-speaking readers. Less well-known, but the subject of an enormous number of legends, are the more manlike yet sinister "huldre-folk" who live in houses and try to woo human girls. These tales reflect the wildness of Norway, its mountains, forests, lakes, and sea, and the stalwart character of its sparse population. -- from Amazon.

Royal Bank of Canada announces proposed acquisition of Brewin Dolphin
by Sue Whitbread | Mar 31, 2022
Deal to create premier integrated wealth management provider in UK, Channel Islands and Ireland announced by Royal Bank of Canada
Royal Bank of Canada ("RBC") has today announced that, subject to Brewin Dolphin Holdings PLC ("Brewin Dolphin") shareholder approval and receipt of all regulatory approvals, RBC is acquiring Brewin Dolphin.
RBC Wealth Management (Jersey) Holdings Limited ("Bidco"), a wholly owned subsidiary of RBC, has published a Rule 2.7 announcement in the UK under the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, announcing its recommended cash offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Brewin Dolphin for 515 pence per share, implying an equity value of approximately C$2.6bn (£1.6bn) on a fully diluted basis.
Brewin Dolphin is one of the UK's leading independent providers of discretionary wealth management in the UK and Ireland, with a network of more than 30 offices and Assets under Management of £59bn as at December 31, 2021. Brewin Dolphin has an impressive track record of growth and innovation and a longstanding record of delivering superior client service and robust investment performance.
Commenting on the acquisition, Doug Guzman, Group Head, RBC Wealth Management, RBC Insurance and RBC Investor & Treasury Services, said:
"The UK is a key growth market for RBC, and Brewin Dolphin provides us with an exceptional platform to significantly transform our wealth management business in the region, giving RBC Wealth Management a # 3 market position in the UK and Ireland, in addition to being a market leader in Canada, with a growing position in the United States. By combining two highly complementary businesses, we will increase the depth and breadth of our services and position the combined business as a premier integrated wealth management provider to private and institutional clients.
Both management teams are excited by a shared vision of high quality client service, client-centric culture and the exceptional growth opportunities that we can deliver together. We look to continue investing in the combined business and take it to greater heights. We are confident that this acquisition will deliver benefits to our combined clients, employees and stakeholders."
David Thomas, CEO, RBC Capital Markets Europe and Head, Wealth Management added:
"This is a transformative acquisition for RBC Wealth Management and cements RBC's position as a market leader across multiple business platforms in the UK, the Channel Islands and Europe. We look forward to welcoming Brewin Dolphin's employees and clients and working together to leverage RBC's global reach and significant capabilities to create new opportunities for the combined business to grow."
Robin Beer, Chief Executive Officer of Brewin Dolphin, said:
"The Brewin Dolphin Board is pleased to recommend the offer by RBC in the interests of our shareholders, our clients, our people and our business partners. Building on the strong organic growth that we have achieved to date, the combined businesses will create an attractive platform for future growth. As part of RBC we would be able to provide our clients with a broader range of products and services, and expand our distribution channels through leveraging RBC's global presence. We share complementary values which emphasize the importance of long-standing client relationships and an inclusive culture supportive of employees and local communities. Our focus will be on maintaining continuity, so that we build on what we have already achieved. I am looking forward to us working together to enhance our market position as a leading advice-focused, digitally enabled wealth manager."
The acquisition is anticipated to result in a ~40 bps reduction in RBC's Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") ratio1 at the Effective Date2. RBC believes that the acquisition will result in an adjusted EPS accretion for RBC of ~1% in the first year following the Effective Date excluding the benefit of future revenue synergies.3 Over the medium term RBC believes that the combined wealth management business in the UK, Ireland and Channel Islands can generate revenue CAGR of ~9% and achieve adjusted profit before tax of ~C$0.5 billion including the benefit of cost and revenue synergies4. The acquisition is expected to generate a double-digit IRR5 excluding the benefit of future revenue synergies.
The acquisition is subject to a number of customary conditions specified in the Rule 2.7 Announcement, including regulatory approvals and Brewin Dolphin shareholder approval. RBC says that it anticipates completion of this transaction by end of Q3 2022.

What is a momcologist? It's every mother's worst nightmare come to life.
Being a momcologist means that in the blink of an eye, your entire life changes. You become an advocate. You become your child's voice, and sometimes, their strength. You become knowledgeable in areas that you never imagined. You learn everything you can about the disease that not only changes your child's life but your family's life and the life of every single person who knows her. It means attending every doctor's appointment, every scan, every blood draw to make sure that her anxiety is managed and that yours is hidden beneath a façade of strength and calm. As a momcologist, your job is to ensure that your child's voice is heard and never minimized – after all, she knows her body best.
Being a momcologist is willing your body to absorb the pain that you don't want your child, your precious baby, to feel. You find yourself gasping for air in her absence and hoping that she doesn't see your fears and worries. You don't want to be one more burden when she is already experiencing more suffering than a child should ever have to.
Being a momcologist requires staying up late at night learning and reading as much as you can about this awful disease. You study every drug, every treatment option, every side effect. You see the world in a new light and learn to invest your time and energy wisely. You cherish every kiss, every hug, every moment. The little things become the big things. Your perspective changes and you approach life with appreciation for all that it offers. Momcologists value and appreciate life on a deeper level knowing that love and loss are a reality of our everyday. And yes, you may get impatient and have little time for negativity. You may cancel plans last minute or avoid certain social interactions all together. You don't do this because you want to. You do it because you live in a different world.
Being a momcologist means ALWAYS trusting your gut because your child needs you to protect them. You find solace in other momocolgists as you rally together and pour your hearts out on social media. You find hope and belonging in other parents experiencing this same nightmare. Because at the end of the day, nothing is more powerful than your love for your child.
What is a momcologist? It's belonging to a club that you would wish on no other but now couldn't imagine being without.

Office Mac Download Free 2011
May 07, 2018.
Download the installation file by clicking on the link below, save it to your computer. After download finishes, locate the file Office-Mac2011.dmg and double click on the file. The file will extract and launch the installer automatically. Follow with on screen instructions. You will need approximately 2.5 GB of free.
Jun 06, 2017.
Download Office 2011 For Mac
Download Microsoft office 2011 for Mac (Free Trial)
– Yes, you can now download, install and try Office 2011 free for a month (30 days to be precise)! We earlier told you about the Office for mac 2011 release and its enhanced features. But there wasn't any free trial made available then, and users could only try Microsoft's Office 2008 for Mac. However, Office 2011 is a significant improvement over Office 2008 and it is not the right one to try, if you intend evaluating and buying Microsoft Office 2011.
Jan 25, 2013. Office 2011 free download - Microsoft Office 2011, Office for Mac Home and Business 2011, Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 2011, and many more programs.
Though Microsoft released Office 2011 for mac in 2010, they did release a free Office 2011 trial only now. We had been waiting for this free download for long, but were surprised that microsoft wasn't making it available to its Mac users! There were some fake articles on the web stating that the trial could be downloaded for free and many of them pointed to Microsoft Technet and MSDN portals. But they did nothing more than disappointing the users, as they could not find it there.
Microsoft always had the policy of making available for free download, trial versions of all its popular software. You could still download windows 7 free trial and also try the microsoft office 2010 download for free!
Why should you download office 2011 for Mac?
Microsoft office is still the world's most popular and widely used Office suite of applications! Hence, there is always going to be demand for Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, as people need a way to access their Office documents. Microsoft does offer free online storage of 25 GB via Windows Live Sky Drive that also hosts Microsoft Office Online, to open, view, edit, save and download office documents. But, Mac users (and users in general) will still prefer an office suite that runs on their computers, without the need for connecting to internet.
Microsoft did release office 2008 and now office 2011 for Mac, as there are large number of Mac users in U.S and other parts of the world. Though microsoft has done well to introduce significant enhancements to this latest edition, we were surprised by the lack of trial version and just when we thought that microsoft had no intentions of making one available, we find the page for downloading a free trial! Thank you Microsoft.
All the popular software manufacturers do make available a trial version of their software for free download, as it definitely helps in enticing the users to buy a licensed version. From a user's perspective, the trial is necessary to see whether it meets all their essential needs and also does whatever the developers claim. Thus, it only makes sense for microsoft to release a free trial of Office 2011, like any of its other products.
Free Download Microsoft Office 2011
You could now download office 2011 for Mac, right here.This is the equivalent of the full version of "Office for Mac Home and Business 2011" in both features and functionality. Office Home and Business 2011 includes all the functionality of Office Home and Student 2011, plus Microsoft Outlook.
After you fill out the simple registration form, download microsoft office software for Mac, install and activate it to use the trial.
To activate, you need to have an internet connection, as it can only be done online. You will also do well to remember that you can download, install, activate and try this office software only once per computer.
On the first screen of the Microsoft Office Setup Assistant, click "Try free for 30 days". In the next screen, enter your e-mail address, click "Activate", and then complete the instructions on the following screens. That is it!
You can then start evaluating the latest Office for Mac for a period of 30 days.
How to convert the free Microsoft Office 2011 Trial to a fully licensed software?
If you are convinced that office 2011 for mac is a must for you, you can purchase a product key online or from your preferred retailer and convert your trial into a fully licensed version of Office for Mac.
Purchasing it online is much easier! Open an Office for Mac application, and then on the first screen of the Microsoft Office Setup Assistant, click "Purchase a product key online". (Refer the above screen-shot).
Once you have the product key, open Microsoft Office Setup Assistant and on the first screen, click "Enter your product key", and then complete the instructions on the screens until you get a fully licensed office 2011 for Mac. Note that the conversion can be done anytime (even after the trial expiry)!
Do you already have office 2011 on your mac? If not, why don't you try this and share with us your experiences. Get started right away.
Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 is all set to be released on October 26 2010. Microsoft was busy releasing its products like windows 7, Office 2010, Windows Live Essentials suite that includes windows live messenger 2011, etc. in the last couple of years. Now it is time for the much awaited Microsoft office suite of applications for Mac.
Office for Mac 2011 is a great improvement over its predecessor Office for Mac 2008. Microsoft Office had always been the world's most popular and widely used Office suite of applications.However, Mac users weren't lucky as Microsoft never seemed to do justice for them. This despite the fact that Microsoft Office for Mac was introduced for Macintosh in 1989, even before it was released for Windows!
However, it looks like Microsoft has once again taken the Mac users seriously and like every other mac lover, we hope that microsoft releases a good suite of office applications bundled as Office for Mac 2011.
Finally, it looks like there will be microsoft Outlook for Mac, which will support Microsoft Information Right's management and will also let you import PST files. All office for Mac 2011 applications will have an interface that is tailored for Mac and like in office 2007 and office 2010, there will be a ribbon in the top menu bar to access everything.
There will also be improvements in the way users can collaborate on office documents with everywhere access, full co-authoring and new connections to Microsoft services such as the Office Web Apps, SharePoint and SkyDrive.
Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 looks promising and a worthy upgrade over office 2008 for Mac.Get read to download office for mac 2011!

Beyond the luxury of the retreats, a world of discovery and exploration await guests, offering an opportunity to couples and families to bond and create irreplaceable memories.
Holidays to Kerala are all about wellness and relaxation—indulgent massages, dining on delicious regional dishes steeped in local spices, outings to intoxicating forests and wildlife sanctuaries, backwaters cruises, relaxing on the beach, and much more. Ideal for families, as much for young couples, the retreats offer a series of carefully curated immersive experiences that enhance a traveller's stay.
Here are 10 ways in which you can enjoy the three Niraamaya Retreats that cut a chic swathe across God's Own Country.
Niraamaya Retreats Surya Samudra, Kovalam
Niraamaya Retreats Surya Samudra, Kovalam, a luxury abode atop a seaside cliff, is part of the global Relais & Châteaux inventory.
Secrets of Chandra Beach
When in Kovalam, you have to take a trip to its golden beaches. The Niraamaya flagship retreat offers a leisurely afternoon High-Tea, at the far end of the secluded Chandra Beach on which it is located. An enchanting experience, beach butlers will set up a cozy sun mattress and umbrella for guests to relax under. Learn about the secret origin of this beach as you walk down to this stretch, just below the retreat. Enjoy delectable nibbles, ranging from tuna samosas to tropical fruit tartlets and Cardamom cashewnut biscotti, to pair with a selection of superior teas.
Fisherman's Delight
Besides offering the world spices, coconut, tropical fruits and vegetables, and tea, Kerala is also fish and seafood country. The retreat offers a customised plan to visit the local fish market at 7 am with Executive Chef Prakash Nayak. The open-air fish market is situated at Vizhinjam harbour, where the boats come to unload. Visitors can watch the ancient custom of fish auctions as each boat arrives back from a long night fishing at sea. Ancient Vizhinjam was the capital of the kingdom of Venad. Very atmospheric, it offers endless camera-friendly moments. The view across the harbour looks past a big old Catholic church right on the beach and two distant mosques at the far end. You can choose the fish that you want the chef to cook for your three-course dinner with the freshest fish that you selected.
Sparkling Sunset Cruise
Kerala, situated on the west coast of India, offers spectacular golden-hued sunsets, the perfect time to cruise the magical realm of the backwaters. The Retreat offers a sunset cruise at the Poovar estuary, at just a short 20-minute drive south of the Retreat. Guests are transferred in the late evening to a motor boat that cruises through unspoiled coconut groves on either side of the river, offering glimpses of rural life. The boat leads them up to the Golden Sand Beach, where they can see the point where the backwater meets the mighty Arabian Sea. Guests can opt for chilled sparkling wine as they enjoy the sunset from the comfort of the motor boat and a selection of deluxe canapés that the chef team put together. The boat meanders through pristine mangrove forests, a stretch full of aquatic birds busy hunting for fish. At the boat jetty, a transfer back to retreat awaits.
Niraamaya Retreats – Backwaters & Beyond, Kumarakom
Kerala's backwaters offer various ways in which guests can engage with the destination. Niraamaya Retreats – Backwaters & Beyond, located amidst eight acres of lush tropical gardens, offer a lot in the way of activities for the young, the young-at-heart or even couples.
Cooking with chefs
Kerala's cuisine is vast and varied and makes extensive use of local ingredients, from fish to coconut, jackfruit and an unmatched range of local spices. Guests can join the chefs in cooking delicious local dishes. The Niraamaya Culinary School was set up with the aim of preserving traditional regional recipes. These recipes are shared with Niraamaya guests who wish to seek a deeper cultural immersion, and would like to take back more than just photographs and great memories.
For all who have been head of Meen Pollichathu or Moilee—Kerala's favourite fish-based curry or even regional delicacies such as Nadan Chicken Curry, Beef Coconut Fry, Banana Flower Thoran, Crabmeat Rasam, and several such can learn about them, the ingredients used and even how to cook them from the chefs. The retreats also offer bespoke cooking classes that include any dish that has delighted you during your stay.
Explore Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary
Among all the travellers who make their way to Kumarakom, the birders are in for a special treat. The Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary, just about three kilometres from the retreat and spread across 14 acres by Lake Vembanad, is a sanctuary for many wetland birds such as the Indian darter, little cormorant, different species of egrets and herons, white ibis, cuckoo, owl and moorhen, and several species of kingfishers. Between November and May, the bushes and woods of the sanctuary also host rare migratory birds from as far as the Himalayas and from the remote lands of Siberia, such as the Siberian crane, parrot, teal, lark and the flycatcher. Also, at hand, are waterfowl such as the pin-tailed duck, garganey teal, spot-billed duck and birds of prey such as osprey, marsh harrier and steppe eagle. Bird lovers can also take a boat trip to nearby regions such as KaipuzhaMuttu, Pathiramanal, Narakathara, Thollayiram Kayal and Poothapandi Kayal to watch local birdlife and migrants which could easily account for more than a hundred species.
Shikara boat ride through intricate backwater canals
No visit to Kumarakom is complete without a boat ride on the spectacular Lake Vembanad. Enjoy a ride in a small traditional boat or canoe, generally used by local fishermen, which takes you through the canals that criss-cross the villages and farms and bind them together in an intricate network.
It is the most beautiful way to not just enjoy the placid lake and the birdlife, but also witness quintessential village life — colourful homes, lush gardens, verdant green fields, captivating islands with swaying palms, and people going about their lives. These waters support a rich diversity of wildlife. Did you know that, here, people use different boats for different purposes—from transporting rice to people to fishing?
Niraamaya Retreats Cardamom Club, Thekkady
Cocooned among Kerala's verdant tropical rainforests, the Niraamaya Retreats Cardamom Club, Thekkady is your chance to connect with nature. Located amongst misty mountains, this hideaway has a uniquely charming setting amidst a verdant cardamom plantation, after which it is named the.
Elephants and You
If you love elephants, Thekkady is the perfect destination to explore. Elephants are a symbol of Kerala, and these majestic animals have a special place in the culture of the state. If you simply wish to ride an elephant or even bathe and feed them, visit the Elephant Junction for a unique experience, at just 6 kilometres from the retreat.
Cost: Per guest, ₹420 (30 minutes, ride + photo), ₹1,050 (1 hour, plus timber dragging, feeding, 30 minutes ride), ₹1,365 (1.30 hours, plus bath and feeding, 45-minute ride), ₹1,575 (2.00 hours, plus 1 hour ride; Vehicle rent: ₹1,500).
Gavi jungle jeep safari
The topography of the region around Thekkady is hilly and deeply forested, offering some wonderful jungle safaris. Popular with guests and travellers to this region is a safari to Gavi, a hilly region part of the lush, dense Periyar Tiger Reserve. Located 40 kilometres from the Retreat, a full-day excursion includes traversing through spectacular jungle landscapes. The activities span pedal-boating, trekking, spotting wildlife and flora and fauna. The trip, which includes breakfast and lunch, is an ideal way to create memories of a lifetime
Home to Indian spices
Kerala is home to the best of Indian spices, but have explored just how they are grown? The spice gardens in the neighbourhood offer a chance to take an up, close and personal look at the way a vast variety of spices endemic to region —cardamom, pepper, vanilla, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg as well as turmeric, coriander, chilli, cumin, eucalyptus, snake plant, mint, betel nuts, brahmi and many others, are grown. Several of these plants and spices are used in traditional medicines. Indulge your senses on a spice tour with experts guiding you through the plantations full of exotic spices. Visit a spice garden 2.5 kilometres from the Retreat to learn more about the transformational power of these plant and spices.
Martial art: Kalaripayattu
Kalaripayattu, often called the 'Mother of all Martial Arts', is the oldest martial art in existence—dating back to third century BCE, it originated in Kerala and is intrinsically entwined with its history and social life. Kalaripayattu aims to develop the ultimate coordination between mind and body. It encompasses three schools —Arappa Kayy, Pilla Thangi, and Vatten Thiripp, which are distinguished by their attacking and defensive patterns. The impossibly fluid arms movements are entrancing, making for yet another unique Kerala experience. A performance centre, located 6 kilometres away, has shown for an hour between 6 and 7 pm.

Hiked in to bivy spot and set up rope for rappel. Out of camp at 6am. Rope set up on wrong rappel route. Corrected problem but lost an hour. Problems with route finding but arrived at South saddle at 12:30. Did several 4th class downclimbs on way to saddle. Decided we didn't have enough time to go for the summit and get back to our bivy before dark. Also, mis-calculated the amount of fluids which would be necessary to complete the climb so we were dangerously short for the hike back out the next day. No water = nothing to eat = poor performance. Would try this again as a two day effort over and back. Cool hike and climb. Probably only seen ~50 ascents.

Near perfect reflections on a beautiful, still May morning on Loch Hope, looking to the west to the low lying hills between Loch Hope and Loch Eriboll. The photo was taken on the same morning and at the same location as 'Ben Hope and Loch Hope'. Both were taken from a small, well placed spit of gravel into the water half way down the loch. Soon after a breeze picked up and the reflections and stillness of the morning were lost, but a lovely day on a circuit of Ben Hope followed.

Richard Coles Edmunds Jr.
Let us celebrate the life of Richard Coles Edmunds Jr. (Dick). He died on Dec. 19, 2020, but his positive impact will last for generations. He is survived by the love of his life for 63 years, Nancy Page Hall Edmunds. Together they built a legacy of family love and devotion, responsibility to others and respect for heritage.
Dick lived life fully in the present, but had a unique appreciation of past history and foresight for the future.He instilled in each of his children and grandchildren a deep respect for family, appreciation of the family's heritage and a commitment to look out for future generations. His license plate sums it up: "13GKIDS." Dick always said, "Get your facts," so here are the facts about this incredible husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle and friend.
Dick was born in South Boston, in Halifax County on March 28, 1931, to Pocahontas Wilson Wight Edmunds of Richmond and Richard Coles Edmunds of Halifax. He graduated from St. Christopher's School in 1949, where he was Captain of the basketball team and recipient of the Davenport Trophy for conscientiousness, courage, courtesy and honor, especially in athletic contests. He was an Eagle Scout, overcoming his dislike of camping and fear of snakes. He graduated cum laude from Hampden-Sydney College in 1953, where he was Captain of the tennis team, a varsity basketball team player, a member of ODK (National Leadership Honor Society), and President of Kappa Sigma fraternity. He was a Lieutenant (JG) in the Navy and served on the U.S.S. Randolph aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean with NATO. He received his Master of Business Administration degree from Harvard Business School in 1958.
Dick married Nancy Page on June 22, 1957. For an accomplished man, he was incredibly dependent on her. Their love for each other laid the foundation for the Edmunds family, which he claimed was his greatest achievement. Dick's education, professional career and civic and religious activities demonstrated his commitment to giving back to his community and his deep belief in the value of education, the importance of a spiritual foundation and the significance of history. Dick loved his family and encouraged his children and their offspring to "pay it forward," seeking to inspire them to carry on the tradition of looking out for future generations.
After Harvard Business School, Dick returned to Richmond to establish his professional career. He was President of Material Handling Industries, Inc., a forklift truck dealership with operations throughout Virginia, and A-1 Leasing. Later, he was a consultant for several small businesses, which benefited from his entrepreneurial spirit and practical business experience. He also was an evening instructor at the University of Richmond, UVA Extension and VCU, teaching undergraduate and graduate school courses in business. Later in life, he was a real estate investor with both commercial and residential properties. He especially enjoyed his work in historic Church Hill.
Dick was very engaged in civic activities, including as: chairman and board member of the Industrial Development Authority of Richmond, board member of Junior Achievement of Richmond, board member of the Richmond Jaycees, board member of the Richmond Tennis Patrons Association, president of the Richmond Assembly, president of the Richmond Cotillion and president of the Focus Club.He continued to support educational institutions as well, as president of the National Hampden-Sydney Alumni Association, president of St. Christopher's Alumni Association and president of the Harvard Business School Club of Virginia.
Dick was incredibly generous with his time. He was a devoted and active member of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church since his days as a St. Christopher's School boarder. He served on the vestry and as superintendent of the Sunday school. Always serving others and embodying the attributes of a servant- leader, Dick drove the bus to transport members from Westminster Canterbury to church on Sundays, cooked for the monthly men of St. Stephen's breakfast and delivered backpack meals to Fairfield Elementary School.
Dick was a member of The Country Club of Virginia, where he took home many tennis trophies, including Senior Tennis Champion. His love of history was demonstrated by his active participation in The Society of the Descendants of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, The Society of the Cincinnati, The Society of the Lees of Virginia, The Cabell Family Society and The Huguenot Society of America.
He was a character who was larger than life. To Dick, no dinner was complete unless capped off with a large bowl of ice cream, which he described as nature's perfect food. Ahead of his time, he believed in the re-use of everything and that nothing should go to waste. (But please don't call him an environmentalist!)
Believing that every day is a good day to learn more about history, Dick shared his knowledge with others. At gatherings of family and friends, Dick would hold court. People young and old gravitated to him for his jovial manner, engaging conversation and great company. He could always tell a good story, loved an irreverent joke, delighted in being a contrarian and lived life to its fullest.
He was incredibly generous with his money but never spent anything on himself. He still wore shoes that he purchased from the Navy canteen in 1955, and he drove the same old car for decades. He took great pride in his heritage and worked diligently to preserve the legacy of his mother, Pocahontas Wight Edmunds, a historian, author of ten books and an authority on Pocahontas. Dick was an avid reader and devoured the Wall Street Journal and Richmond Times Dispatch, often sending a curated clipping of particular interest to a family member or friend. With annual family vacations, Thanksgiving and Easter celebrations, and pop-up trips, Dick and Nancy Page (Popeye and Nan) fostered deep family relationships that would span across the generations. He was an inspiration to all, probably because he was never self-important at all.
Dick leaves behind, his wife of 63 years, Nancy Page; four children, Martie Edmunds Zakas (Dennis) of Atlanta, Georgia, Betsy Edmunds Johnston (Hooks, deceased) of McLean, Rick Edmunds (Kathy) of Alexandria and Berkeley Edmunds (Cheney) of Richmond. He was a devoted grandfather of 13 grandchildren, all of whom he was extremely proud, Page Zakas Burdette (Brendan), Virginia Zakas Morgan (Will), Ned and Cabell Zakas, Mary Johnston Morris (James), Allie, Hooks and David Johnston, Maggie and Coles Edmunds, and Berkeley Jr., Bower and Serpell Edmunds. He also leaves behind two sisters, Anne Edmunds Brown (Doug) and Betty Edmunds Grinnan, as well as his brother-in-law, Garnett Hall (Anne) along with numerous nieces and nephews.
The family plans a private service at St. Stephen's Church. Should you desire, the family suggests memorial contributions to the Edmunds Scholarship at Hampden-Sydney College, PO Box 637, Hampden-Sydney, Virginia 23943 or alumni.hsc.edu/Edmunds; St. Christopher's School Foundation, 711 St. Christopher's Road, Richmond, Virginia 23226 or stchristophers.com/giving; or St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, 6000 Grove Avenue, Richmond, VA 23226 or www.ststephensrva.org/give.

Logan Lerman and Sarah Gadon on the New Film Indignation
Juan Antonio Barquin
Juan Antonio Barquin | August 5, 2016 | 9:05am
James Schamus has been making movies for as long as Ang Lee has been directing them. The two have penned and produced multiple films together, including Eat Drink Man Woman, The Ice Storm, Lust, Caution, and even Hulk. So moving into the role of director for the first time with Indignation, Schamus is no average debut filmmaker. And the stars of that film — Logan Lerman and Sarah Gadon — are thankful for his vast experience, as they discuss the new movie with New Times.
"I think sometimes when you work with a first-time director, they're so scared to collaborate because they're so protective of their material and their vision," Gadon, who has worked with auteurs such as David Cronenberg, says. "But the more experienced and great filmmakers I've worked with have this kind of incredible openness because they have a real confidence in their ability. James really exhibited the latter, a total willingness to collaborate, and it's the best way to make a film."
"He knows what he's doing," Lerman emphasizes. "I've worked with a few first-time directors, and they really don't know what they're doing. You learn from your mistakes, and James has been through so many productions in different roles, and I think he's learned a lot from other people's mistakes."
Working together was a big part of the process, and a long one. But, as Lerman says, "The best thing about working with James is that I never felt uncomfortable asking him or presenting an idea to him, whether it was research or physically for the character."
On the Screen, Roth's Indignation Only Fitfully Comes to Spiteful Life
Miami Film Festival 2017: Google Seminar Series Offers Advice for Women in Film
Lerman's character, the film's protagonist, is a working-class Jewish student who attends an Ohio college where he struggles with sexual repression and with being an atheist in a religious community, among other issues. "He made me comfortable to explore in so many directions and was enthusiastic to explore Marcus with me," Lerman says.
As for Gadon, who plays Olivia, a conflicted young woman Marcus falls for and has a history of self-harm, the process even included tying in Sylvia Plath's writing. "James is a professor, so he had all these materials for us and assignments and little things he wanted us to do," she explains. "And each exercise added another layer to the character. It was fantastic."
Some critics have compared Gadon's character to the manic-pixie-dream-girl trope, which exists to teach brooding men to embrace life. But she dismisses that idea.
"It's interesting to read it that way considering the film kind of punishes that stereotype," Gadon says. "She disappears and vanishes from his life, and the film leaves him unable to be with her, and he doesn't really change because of her. I'd say it's more of a criticism about the manic pixie dream girl."
Indignation goes as far as using Olivia to bookend the film even though she's partially removed from both the film and the Philip Roth novel on which the movie is based. "The book is so specifically told posthumously from Marcus' perspective, and what I love about James is he breathes so much life into Olivia, a lot more so than what exists in the novel," Gadon explains. "I thought it was curious that he chose to begin the film from her perspective, where she stares at this wallpaper that is just like her dress, and is so on-the-nose that it seems surreal. But it's never clear whether Marcus is telling the story or Olivia is remembering the story once you fade into the past. It's the most brilliant thing he does as a filmmaker in the movie."
"A lot of the dialogue is taken straight from the book," Lerman elaborates on adapting the work. "Actually, a lot of the book is copy-and-pasted into the film, but James structured it differently, and there's a weird portion of it that was cut out. It doesn't exactly tie into Marcus or Olivia's story, but it's part of the aftermath of what happens to these characters."
Even though the movie is a novel adaptation and a period drama, taking place in the 1950s, Gadon and Lerman are confident that audiences will like Indignation, and an early Miami screening at the Miami Jewish Film Festival, accompanied by a Q&A, confirmed that for the actors. "I think it challenges what your stereotypical notions of that time period were," Gadon says.
"They kind of act against type, with a young woman who doesn't respect any social graces when it comes to dating, and a young man who isn't as religious as those around him. You're looking back at this time period from a very different perspective that's not actually very conservative even though it appears to be."
Indignation opens in Miami Friday, August 5, at AMC Aventura 24 and Regal Cinemas South Beach Stadium 18.

Home/US NEWS/At least 73,000 illegal immigrants escaped border patrol in November
At least 73,000 illegal immigrants escaped border patrol in November
PKBNEWSDecember 2, 2022
At least 73,000 illegal immigrants were spotted crossing into the United States but were able to evade Border Patrol agents in November – the highest number recorded at the US-Mexico border, according to PKB News.
Border Patrol uses the term getaways to describe immigrants who are spotted by motion-sensor cameras or border agents, but are able to avoid capture.
Since the beginning of the fiscal year on October 1, 137,000 getaways have already been counted, sources told PKB sources.
In the just-ended fiscal year 2022, there were nearly 600,000 getaways, compared to 389,155 recorded in fiscal year 2021.
In November, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas asked Chris Magnus, the head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, to resign, but he refused.
instead, he released a statement saying, "I'm excited about the progress I've made and look forward to continuing this work."
An immigrant crosses the Rio Grande from Mexico to El Paso, Texas.
A record 2.4 million migrants were stopped at the US border with Mexico in the fiscal year that ended September 30 – a 37% increase from the previous year.
At least 207,000 migrants were encountered by Border Patrol in the month of November – this number includes all those who attempted to enter, about 40% of whom are immediately denied entry into the United States, many of them under the title 42, a pandemic public health restriction.
A federal court has ruled that Title 42 must end by December 21, after which an even larger increase in the number of migrants entering the country is expected.
El Paso, Texas has recently become the new hotspot for cross-border commuters.
However, Politico reported that Magnus disappeared or slept during key meetings on how to deal with the ongoing migration wave.
"He's not in the game," an administration official told the outlet.
"Every time there's a meeting and he's in it, we'll come to a conclusion and Magnus will have a side issue that he wants to raise and we're all like, 'What is this?
Data from US Customs and Border Protection shows that in the past two months, El Paso, Texas is the busiest new border crossing – with more than 53,000 immigrants entering the US in a month only.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection statistics, historic numbers of people have attempted to enter the United States since President Biden took office.
Shelters in El Paso are packed, leaving the Border Patrol with no choice but to release 1,200 immigrants onto city streets in November. These people are asylum seekers who have been cleared by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who have no criminal history and who are legally authorized to travel to the United States.
Some of those immigrants are now sleeping rough, either because they don't have money to leave El Paso or because they're waiting for transportation, according to El Paso station KPKB-TV.
Despite Title 42 ending in less than 20 days, the Biden administration has not announced a new measure to replace it or a plan for what to do with the increased migration level when it is lifted. .

These paintings are attributed to William Matthew Prior (1806-1873), an American artist born in Bath, Maine. He traveled throughout New England and eventually settled in Boston in 1841. With his wife and brothers, he set up a portrait studio and spent most of his time painting portraits to order. He also did reverse paintings on glass of many of the famous people of his time. These two paintings are copies of the Gilbert Stuart Portraits, and were probably painted between 1860 and 1870.
The portraits were bequeathed to the Old Northwest Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution by Mr. Harris Raymond Loomis (1880-1971) and Mrs. Marquerite Loomis (1883-1971.) Former Mayor of Ravenna, Mr. Loomis was well known throughout town for his philanthropy. In 1956, he donated $200,000 for the purchase of Lake Hodgson as a water supply for the growing city. Ravenna will forever be indebted to Mr. Loomis for his generousity.
The D.A.R. donated the paintings to the library in 1996 for all to enjoy. When the library began its expansion and renovation in 2004, the paintings were taken to McKay Lodge in Oberlin for restoration. Restoration has stabilized the separation of the paint from the glass and where paint was missing, infilling was done. The paintings were returned to the library in time for the grand opening in 2006. The paintings are located on the upper level above the east fireplace.


Baltimore County fire personnel were responding to two fires overnight — an apartment fire on Liberty Road and a single-family dwelling fire in the Greenspring area.
No injuries were reported in either blaze, according to Division Chief Jay Ringgold.
At Greenspring, a fire was reported Thursday in the 10700 block of Greenspring Avenue with flames showing from the roof of three-story dwelling.
Firefighters got the fire under control, and in the morning a section of nearby roads were closed. Ringgold said some roads may have been affected by ice.
On Liberty Road, a fire was reported around 9 p.m. Thursday in a single unit on the eighth floor of an apartment building in the 6800 block of Liberty Road, according the department's Twitter post.
Ringgold said that blaze was also under control and by Friday morning residents had been allowed to return to the building.


we kicked off our last day in NOLA with more beignets - this time, with the whole family in tow.
the iced cafe au lait was pretty delicious.
then it was back to the hotel to check out and hop in the car for one last look at bourbon street. did i happen to mention the smell of that place? it's...indescribable. and not in a good way. imagine alcohol and cigarette smoke mixed with the lingering aroma of fresh vomit, and then multiply that by about ten. yeah. yum yum.
we crossed this bridge on our way out of the city, crossing the mississippi river one last time.
at one of our stops for gas, i picked up one of those gross local snacks that had so much promise, but was a huge fail on so many levels.
i'd pictured them being crunchy and fun to eat like chicharrones, but instead they were so hard i feared for my teeth. the couple of pieces i was able to munch on had such great flavor, but alas, i ended up tossing it at our next stop. so sad.
my bummer streak continued as this stupid truck cockblocked my "welcome to texas" sign picture. buttonhole.
this looked...interesting. if "interesting" means "depressing as hell."
when we were just about half an hour away from dallas, the ILs had us all stop here to see "the truck stop of all truck stops." the hub wasn't much in the mood, but he pulled in anyway.
it was indeed quite a truck stop. rather like a giant walmart with a gas station.
after we'd gotten a chance to unwind and relax a little at the ILs' house, we headed out again to grab some dee-licious grub at babe's. fried chicken sounded like a great way to end the day.
by the way, we all peered at this sign, sounded it out several times, and still can't figure out what the hell it's supposed to be saying. help?
this one has turned into an inside joke between the bean and me.
my guess for the sign? "how's ya mom and them?"


The weavers often work for over ten hours, earning a meager pay of Rs 200 per day.
The handloom industry in India is unique due to the traditional skills evolved over thousands of years. It was the backbone of the rural economy, generating income for the agricultural sector. Even though it was the colonial rule that led to the decimation of it, the post independent government has ignored the contribution of this sector completely.
A census of the handloom industry in 2010 revealed the decline in total number of looms and weavers. At present there are about 42 lakh people working in this sector and there are question to be asked. Is this industry so doomed, as to become extinct in the era of globalisation? Can it withstand the onslaught of the power looms? Must we allow this ancient tradition to die as it is unable to provide much for its weaver? Will it become a museum piece in the coming years? It seems that the Textile Ministry has already lost hopes. It was said that the numbers have gone down drastically of both the textile and its weavers, majorly because the next generation is not very keen on taking up the profession due to the low income generation. Owing to the hard labour they have to undergo, a substantial amount of weaver are living in sheer poverty.
The textile industry in India comprises three sectors: the mill, the power loom and the handloom. Of the total textile production in the country, power looms contribute 61.32 per cent, the mills 3.34 per cent and handlooms 11.28 percent. Evidently, handlooms do contribute a great deal towards rural employment. But with the other sectors overpowering there is not much scope.
In order to protect the interest of the handloom industry, the Central Government passed the Handlooms (Reservation of articles for Production) Act in 1985. It provides reservation of certain articles for the handloom sector in order to rescue the handlooms and provide security with assured market access to their products. Unfortunately, there was no attempt to implement the provisions of the act. At the time when it was passed, there were 22 items that came under the handloom sector which was reduced to 11 in 1996. This new list too is not barred by the encroachers in the power loom industry.
Furthermore, the textile ministry led a failed campaign, trying to change the very definition of the word handloom. By including one manual process in the production of textiles, the ministry wanted to favour the power loom industry. With this small revision, the benefits and budgets allocated for handlooms can be accessed legitimately by the power loom sector. All India Federation of Handloom Organisations led a successful struggle to resist this ploy to change the definition.
In 2011 the finance minister allocated Rs 3000 crores to revive the handloom industry in the country with loan waiver and strengthening the weavers cooperatives. Ironically, even after three years, the money has not reached the weavers and the revival itself seems a distant dream. In reality, the common man too is cheated when he purchases a handloom product, which actually is the product of a machine operated power loom.
In order to highlight the plight of the hand loom sector and the weavers, two week Padyatra was organised in northern Karnataka covering 245 kilometers across the dry regions of Gadag and Bagalkot districts. It was led by Prasanna, the founder of Charaka, a cooperative of 650 weavers. In most of the villages the women weavers shared their anguish of toiling for more than ten hours and earn a meager wage of Rs 200 per day. Their demand was to stop introducing power looms to replace hand looms, implement the Handloom Act. Prasanna had to sit on indefinite fast to attract the attention of the government.
What is striking is that even in these adverse conditions, there are 24 lakh looms still working in the country. This is more than all the looms put together in entire world. All they require is some amount of support and recognition and they can easily emerge as a sector at par with the IT sector. And this can only be achieved if we recognise it as a thriving art with no rival in the world.


Elaborated with love and thrill, a new concept that's exclusive, elegant yet fresh and casual, a new born brand in the heart of Barcelona - all in one, that's called BCN Brand. This label aims to evoke eternal colorful summers and also add a heritage touch without being retro. All products by BCN Brand are designed and produced in Barcelona, following the latest trends and enriched with the best craft stradition, a rising value within the sector.
This firm, which is stepping forward quickly, is already available in renewed and exclusive international stores in countries such as Spain, Dubai, France, Italy, Moscow, or EEUU within others. And they are walking the Hollywood streets worn by top celebrities who received their trendy pair this 2013.
The international expansion has been a key strategy since the beginning, participating in key trade shows such as the Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Paris, Miami and Cannes shows.
With the evolution of the brand not only new products and collections are added but also new concepts are born. Like the wedding sneakers, presented on the runway by Victoria's Secret model, Clara Alonso, who closed the show.
Comfortable and elegant, made for the occasion, these sneakers are for those brides who have a sporty-look or simply want to put the moon during the dance.
They are the first sneakers of this kind, and made only in Barcelona.
Continuing the easy going attitude the swimwear collection has been released. Their fabrics are ultra-dry polyester, and patterns suit all of their audiences, from Hawaiian flowers, to a positive wording game, the blue Barcelona skyline and even the city's' official and characteristic floor tile, representing one of the most influential cultural towns in the world to perfection. In the new 2015 collection, more Barcelona tile patterns are added with grays and colors.
After having many celebrities wear the ss14 menswear polo's and colorful pants, the demand on these items grew and the brand felt the need to come up with new versions of the products with full collections for the ss15 season.
Colorful bermudas, and patterned polo's and shirts were introduced in the show as well. For a diverse preppy-meets-cool boy who can be of any ethnicity, nationality and even age group.
BCN Brand wants to dress men who know who they are and are confident, who like to follow trends but also create them. This brand is especially for those guys who are easy going and inspire good and positive attitudes all around.

Q: Is this set countably infinite? If so, how do I exhibit a one to one correspondence between these two sets? I am supposed to determine whether or not the set $A\times Z^{+}$ where $A=\{2, 3\}$ is countably infinite. If so, I should  exhibit a one to one correspondence between the set of positive integers and the set in question.
Although I'm pretty sure that the set is countably infinite, I am struggling to find a one to one correspondence from the positive integers to the set since it seems to me that there are twice as many elements in the set $A\times Z^{+}$ than the set of positive integers since its cardinality is double due to the Cartesian product?

A: The bijection is rather obvious. E.g. for every positive integer $n$ you can define:
$F(2k-1) = (2, k)$ when $n = 2k-1$ (n is odd)
$F(2k) = (3, k)$ when $n = 2k$ (n is even)
Just prove that $F$ is a bijection (which is quite easy).
This bijection is basically a formal writing of this table:
$1 \to (2,1)$
$2 \to (3,1)$
$3 \to (2,2)$
$4 \to (3,2)$
$5 \to (2,3)$
$6 \to (3,3)$
$\dots$
"It seems to me that there are twice as many elements in the set $A\times Z^{+}$ than the set of positive integers since its cardinality is double due to the Cartesian product"
Well, the same intuition is probably there for the sets of positive integers and even positive integers. But there is a bijection between the two sets, hence their cardinalities are equal (one cardinality is not "twice" the other cardinality).
So whenever your intuition says that the number of elements of one set $C$ is 2 or 3 or 10 or $m$ times the number of elements of another set $B$, you should know that the two sets $B$ and $C$ are in fact of the same cardinality. It's somewhat counterintuitive at first sight but that's how it is.

This regiment of dragoons was created and recruited in Lower Austria. Colonel Ludwig Count Herbeville received the relevant decree on March 15 1683. The kernel of the new regiment was formed by 200 men from Saurau Dragoons and by 100 men from each of the Schulz, Castell and Kueffstein regiments.
In 1683, the still incomplete regiment fought in the battle of Vienna and, in 1684, in the siege of Ofen. From 1685 to 1687, it was stationed in Transylvania and saw no action. From 1688 to 1698, it formed part of the corps who campaigned against the Turks in Transylvania.
In 1691, 500 men from the Lower Austria militia dragoons were incorporated in the regiment.
In 1702, at the beginning of the War of the Spanish Succession, the regiment was sent to Italy where it took part in the battle of Luzzara. In 1705, it fought at Cassano; and in 1706, at Turin. In 1707, it took part in the failed invasion of Provence. From 1708 to 1710, it campaigned in Spain and took part in the battles of Almenar, Saragossa and Villaviciosa.
In 1716, the regiment returned to Hungary where it once more fought against the Turks at Peterwardein and Temesvár. In 1717, it took part in the battle of Belgrade.
Until 1734, the regiment garrisoned various places in Hungary.
In 1734, during the War of the Polish Succession, it was sent to Italy where it fought in the battles of Parma, Quistello and Guastalla). In 1735, it was transferred for a short time to Germany but soon returned to Italy.
From 1737 to 1739, the regiment campaigned in Transylvania and took part in the battles of Kornia and Mehadia.
At the outbreak of the War of the Austrian Succession, in 1741, the regiment took part to the battle of Mollwitz where his proprietor, FML Joachim Baron von Römer, was killed in action. In 1742, it fought in the battle of Chotusitz and was at the siege of Prague. In 1743, it campaigned in Bavaria (where its grenadiers fought at Dingolfing) and on the Rhine. In 1745, it took part in the battles of Hohenfriedberg and Soor.
The regiment was disbanded in 1802 as "Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld". The dragoons were transferred to different chevaux-legers regiments.
In June 1756, at the beginning of the war, the regiment was stationed at Körmend in Hungary and counted 806 men and 801 horses. By September, it was in Bohemia with Piccolomini's covering force in the Königshof-Kolin region. However, the horse grenadier company of the regiment was with Browne's Corps in the region of Lobositz. On October 1, during the Battle of Lobositz, the horse grenadiers were assigned to the detachment under Count Lacy deployed near Leitmeritz and along the Elbe up to Schreckstein.
On June 18 1757, the regiment took part in the Battle of Kolin where it was deployed in the first line of the cavalry right wing under Count Serbelloni. On November 22, four squadrons of the regiment took part in the Battle of Breslau where they were deployed in Count Kollowrat's Brigade, in the second line of the cavalry left wing under Count Stampach. On December 5 at the Battle of Leuthen, the regiment was deployed in Kolowrat's Brigade in the second line of the cavalry left wing under General Serbelloni.
By August 2 1758, the regiment was part of the reserve of the main Austrian army under the command of Daun near Jaromirs. Daun was following up the Prussian army retiring through Bohemia after the failure of the Prussian invasion of Moravia. Some sources (Wrede and the Albertina Handschrift) mention that the regiment took part in the Battle of Hochkirch on October 14. This is fairly possible even though it is not specifically mentioned in the order of battle. We can reasonably assume that it was part of the Prince of Baden-Durlach's Reserve.
In 1759, the regiment was assigned to Loudon's corps which joined the Russians and, on August 12, took part in the Battle of Kunersdorf where it was deployed in the reserve of the right wing as part of Loudon's cavalry brigade.
On June 23 1760, the regiment, led by Colonel Karl von Hocke, took part in the Battle of Landeshut where it captured two standards and the silver drums of the Prussian Alt-Platen Dragoons. On August 15, it fought in the Battle of Liegnitz where its colonel, Carl von Hocke, distinguished himself (he would later receive the Maria-Theresia-Order for his conduct during the battle).
In 1761, the regiment was with the main Austrian army in Saxony. It did not take part in any major action.
In 1762, the regiment operated with the main army in Silesia and was at the Combat of Reichenbach.
After the war, the regiment garrisoned Klattau (present-day Klatovy/CZ) and Taus (present-day Domažlice/CZ).
N.B.: until 1757, the regiment wore a blue coats with yellow facings.
The Bautzener Bilderhandschrift shows a white laced tricorne, yellow buttons, buff breeches and blue waistcoat. It also depicts a much lighter shade of blue which looks more like sky blue.
Brauer's plate shows buff breeches.
Donath's plate depicts a light blue uniform (quite similar to the one of the Bilderhandschrift) and yellow buttons.
In March 1761, the regiment was authorised by Empress Maria Theresia to keep and use the drums which it had captured on June 23 1760 at Landeshut from the Prussian Alt-Platen Dragoons. A regimental tambour was incorporated, but its cost had to be covered by the officers of the regiment.

". . . a delightful, and all too short, trip to the past."
Whistling in the Dark: Life as a child in a small neighborhood in the 1950s.
The O'Malley sisters, Sally and Troo, have lost their father. They may also lose their mother when she enters the hospital for two weeks and remains for months near death. Living with Hall, their mother's third husband, and Nell, their older sister by their mother's first husband, is never easy. Hall is a drunk with a bad temper. Nell is more intent on beauty school and her boyfriend Eddie than on taking care of the girls. This leaves Sally and Troo with a lot of time on their hands and the freedom to come and go pretty much as they like, placing Sally in harm's way as a murderer and molester prowls their neighborhood in search of his third victim.
Since the O'Malley sisters are too young to visit their mother in the hospital, they keep themselves occupied with their friends and enemies and the usual neighborhood happenings. Mary Lane, the biggest liar in town, provides the sisters with gossip. Sally's active and fertile imagination fuels the sisters' fears and curiosity, eventually putting Sally and Troo in mortal danger.
In the 1950s, it was common for two prepubescent girls to run the streets of their neighborhood with little restraint, aside from their expected appearance for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is a time and a world that author Lesley Kagen gets just right. Sally narrates the story of Whistling in the Dark with a blend of wisdom and innocence that never reveals Kagen's adept hand at the wheel. Kagen recreates Sally's neighborhood in exacting detail and populates it with an unforgettable mix of eccentric and mundane characters that takes the reader back to summer nights catching fireflies and long summer days full of restless adventure. Without descending into mawkish nostalgia, Whistling in the Dark is full of charming naïveté and droll insight. Overall, it is a delightful and all too short trip to the past.
