William Butter Yeats was influenced by a poem by Blind Raftery to buy and restore Thoor Ballylee
Antoine Ó Raifteirí (perhaps better known as Blind Raftery) is an ancestor of mine, and a rather famous poet (1779–1835). He was blind as a result of having smallpox as a child. Consequently he did not write his poems or songs but committed them to memory. Moreover, he composed in Irish and there was no interest in publishing the work of an Irish minstral in Irish during his lifetime. Fortunately, others did capture his songs and poems on paper (at least some times) and some survived in the memories of other for decades. during the revival of Irish culture that took place a century after he lived, Douglas Hyde (Songs Ascribed to Raftery), Lady Gregory (Lady Gregory: Selected Writings) and William Butler Yeats hunted through the west of Ireland, discovering Raftery's songs and poems.
Thoor Ballylee
While Yeats is probably the more famous in the USA today, having won the Nobel Prize for Literature, Douglas Hyde was the first President of the Irish Free State. Lady Gregory was I suppose much more famous in her time than she is now, having published a number of books bringing the history of the Irish people to the attention of the Irish themselves. Yeats and Lady Gregory formed a long lasting literary partnership and friendship. Indeed, he bought a property, Thoor Ballylee (#4 on the map), just northeast of the town of Gort. Lady Gregory's home Coole Park is even closer to Gort, on the lake and just north west of Gort (#2 on the map) -- one could walk between the two. Clearly, proximity to his friend and colleague was important in the choice of location for Yeats' home in his later years Yet Lady Gregory had established Coole Park as a center for the intellectual elite and that too might have been important.
Lady Augusta Gregory
Under Gregory's watchful eye Coole House had become a centre for literary and political gatherings, welcoming a great number of notable figures of the day, including William Butler Yeats, his brother the painter Jack Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, John Millington Synge, George Russell (A.E.), and the first President of Ireland, Douglas Hyde. Together with Edward Martyn, who lived down the road at Tulira Castle, Yeats and Gregory founded the Irish Literary Theatre, soon to become the Abbey Theatre. Yeats described the tower and surrounding landscape in his book The Celtic Twilight (1893), which featured local stories about the area and a poem by Antoine O Raifteiri (known to Yeats as Raftery, the poem translated by Lady Gregory) concerning his love for a local beauty named Mary Hynes.

It also seems that the link of Blind Raftery, Mary Hynes and Thoor Ballylee may have been important in Yeats' choice of a home he would buy: from 1921 to 1929, Yeats with his family spent many summers there.
In his poem Coole Park And Ballylee, 1931 he wrote:
Under my window-ledge the waters race,
Otters below and moor-hens on the top,
Run for a mile undimmed in Heaven's face
Then darkening through 'dark' Raftery's 'cellar' drop,
Run underground, rise in a rocky place
In Coole demesne, and there to finish up
Spread to a lake and drop into a hole.
What's water but the generated soul?
And in The Winding Stair. Yeats wrote:
I am content to live it all again And yet again, if it be life to pitch Into the frog-spawn of a blind man's ditch, A blind man battering blind men; Or into that most fecund ditch of all, The folly that man does Or must suffer, if he woos A proud woman not kindred of his soul.
Raftery's Mary Hynes
James Stephens published a book of his versions of some of Raftery's poems in the 1920s. (Reincarnations by James Stephens (1882–1950). His text for three poems that combine into the choral piece by Samuel Barber, Reincarnations.
Mary Hynes
She is the sky of the sun,
She is the dart
Of love,
She is the love of my heart,
She is a rune,
She is above
The women of the race of Eve
As the sun is above the moon.
Lovely and airy the view from the hill
That looks down Ballylea;
But no good sight is good until
By great good luck you see
The Blossom of the Branches walking towards you
Airily.
Anthony O'Daly
Since your limbs were laid out
The stars do not shine,
The fish leap not out
In the waves.
On our meadows the dew
Does not fall in the morn,
For O'Daly is dead:
Not a flower can be born,
Not a word can be said,
Not a tree have a leaf;
Anthony, after you
There is nothing to do,
There is nothing but grief.
The Coolin
Come with me, under my coat,
And we will drink our fill
Of the milk of the white goat,
Or wine if it be thy will;
And we will talk until
Talk is a trouble, too,
Out on the side of the hill,
And nothing is left to do,
But an eye to look into an eye
And a hand in a hand to slip,
And a sigh to answer a sigh,
And a lip to find out a lip:
What if the night be black
And the air on the mountain chill,
Where the goat lies down in her track
And all but the fern is still!
Stay with me, under my coat,
Of the milk of the white goat
Out on the side of the hill.
And here is Reincarnations (Samuel Barber) sung by the Cardinal Singers
The interest of so many distinguished Irish intellectuals has generated modern events:
A drawing believed to be of Raftery
An annual festival, Féile Raiftéirí, is held in Loughrea, Co. Galway each year on the last weekend in March. Raftery spent most of his later years in townlands close to the town. The festival features a contemporary Irish language poet and promotes the native arts of Ireland. The festival ends with a visit to Raiftéirí grave in neighbouring Craughwell.
Ó Raifteirí died at the house of Diarmuid Cloonan of Killeeneen, near Craughwell, County Galway, and was buried in nearby Killeeneen Cemetery. In 1900, Lady Gregory, Edward Martyn, and W.B. Yeats erected a memorial stone over his grave, bearing the inscription "RAFTERY". A statue of him stands in the village green, Craughwell, opposite Cawley's pub. (Source)
Kiltmagh granate memorial
Kiltimagh (where Raftery was born) town square features a granite memorial in honour of Anthony Raftery erected in 1985, in that same year Kiltimagh twinned with Craughwell, the final resting place of the blind Gaelic poet. (Source)

Trump supporter Betsy McCaughey, the former lieutenant governor of New York, made claims Monday night that Hillary Clinton is a hypocrite because the Democratic presidential nominee likes Beyoncé's music.
LEMON: Did she say that?
McCAUGHEY: That happens to be a line from Beyoncé.
These comments set off a firestorm of backlash accusing the GOP of reaching at this point. It would make no sense to say that because Hillary Clinton is in formation that Trump can sexually assault people.
– His campaign keeps distracting us. Now they're blaming Beyoncé, rap music and Hollywood for Trump's sexual predations.

KGC provides bodykit repair for lower skirt, bumper etc. With competitive prices in the market these days, repairing may not be the cheapest option out there. However, for car models or designs already out of production, KGC offers car lovers who wish to restore their ride to its pristine condition, a bodykit repair solution.
For bodykit modification or customizing, KGC is only able to use FRP to modify/customize, which can be heavy at times. Users intending to go for modification or customization such as WALD body etc, there are chances of crack lines even at the slightest knock around the area.
The internal structure is cut and formed by multiple pieces by FRP to join with the resin as one. This makes up the customized shape and design. Thick layer of putty is then used to cover the joint parts, for touching up, shaping and smoothing of surfaces after sanding.
Although the surface looks perfect, a slight knock around the near could cause a crack. KGC does not provide warranty or guarantee on paint cracks resulting from customization and modification of bodykit.

Q: How do I throttle bandwidth-speed for internal ip-addresses using tc command and cbq-only filter? I want to limit bandwidth-speed of internal ip-addresses (like 10.8.0.1) and had been trying to use the following rules:
tc qdisc add dev tun1 root handle 1: cbq avpkt 1000 bandwidth 3000mbit
tc class add dev tun1 parent 1: classid 1:1 cbq rate 1mbit allot 1500 prio 1 bounded isolated
tc qdisc add dev tun1 parent 1: sfq perturb 10
tc filter add dev tun1 parent 1: protocol ip prio 16 u32 match ip src {IP_HERE} flowid 1:1

These rules work perfect with 'non-internal' ip-addresses but don't work with internals.
I am unable to use htb filter because my VPS is based on OpenVZ and the kernel doesn't support it.
Thanks.

A: I solved the issue which is quite easy.
Just had to change source to destination. So, the last command will be like this:
tc filter add dev tun1 parent 1: protocol ip prio 16 u32 match ip dst {IP_HERE} flowid 1:1

WU student a world title holder
Hannah Cockerill / Washburn Review
Washburn University has somewhat of a celebrity and his name is Vashon Sterling Perryman. He is a power lifting world belt title holder.
Perryman is 24 years old, 5'7″ and about 165 pounds. On Aug. 7 and 8 Perryman competed against 250 other competitors for the world belt title in Denver, Colo., at the World Cup. Perryman said that most of the people that were in the competition were from the United States but there were also a great deal of individuals from other countries. He is now the best pound for pound lifter under 198 pounds in the world.
Perryman is originally from Ottawa, Kan., and he attended Ottawa University for two years before he transferred to Washburn University. He is president of Kappa Alpha Phi and will graduate in May 2011 with a degree in Physiology with an emphasis in exercise.
Perryman works at Maxim Fitness as a personal trainer. He is certified by the International Sports Science Association. When asked, his favorite thing to do is exercise.
"Every time I'm asked this I sound like a gym rat but my hobby is exercising whether I am actually working out or just looking up new exercises. I love exercising and I will do it as long as my body will let me," Perryman said.
This will be a good way to prepare for his career because he wants to be a personal trainer. He has received a lot of valuable experience with his major and work history.
Perryman has won four national titles, but this year was his first time going to the World Cup where he won. He turned professional in April and his first meet is coming up quickly in Oklahoma City, Okla., on Oct. 17, 2010. Perryman is an independent lifter, which means he needs as many sponsors as possible.
"I'm always looking for sponsors," said Perryman. "I have definitely extended my range of people. No matter where I go after I graduate there will probably be someone that knows me whether I know them or not."
Perryman cannot be defined by his mere 165 pound build because his best ever squat, dead lift, bench press, and strict curl are all at least his weight and up. His ultimate squat is 615 pounds, dead lift is also 615 pounds, bench press is 340 pounds, and his strict curl is 175 pounds.
Perryman is attending Washburn for only one more semester.

TEL AVIV, Israel (Reuters) – Israel urged world leaders on Thursday to provide aid to the Gaza Strip without breaking a diplomatic boycott of Hamas Islamists who control the coastal territory.
"There is a need to help in Gaza without granting legitimacy to Hamas," Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said in Tel Aviv after talks with visiting U.S. Middle East envoy George Mitchell.
The United States, Israel and European Union, have shunned dialogue with Hamas, citing its refusal to renounce violence and to recognize Israel and past peace agreements.
Turkey's Prime Minister Tayypip Erdogan added his voice on Thursday, telling Mitchell who visited Ankara before Tel Aviv Washington should engage Hamas for the sake of peace efforts.
"Even though we do not approve Hamas' methods, Hamas should not be excluded from the peace process and should be integrated into the political system and the peace process," a Turkish official who was at the talks said.
Hamas violently seized control of Gaza in 2007 from Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, after winning a parliamentary election a year earlier.
Mitchell, preceding a visit next week by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was in the region to explore ways to relaunch Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts and to rebuild Gaza after a devastating Israeli offensive against Hamas last month.
Clinton would also attend a conference of Western donors in Egypt next week that will seek ways to raise some $2.8 billion dollars estimated as needed for relief work in coastal Gaza.
More than 1,300 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed in the month of fighting in the territory that ended with a shaky truce in mid-January.
Israel, which controls most of Gaza's crossings, has blocked the passage of cement and steel needed to rebuild since the war, allowing in only the most vital humanitarian supplies, saying this was aimed at preventing Hamas from rearming.
Jakob Kellenberger, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, called on Israel to lift these restrictions on Thursday.
An ICRC statement from Geneva said some 2,800 homes were destroyed and a further 1,900 were damaged in the Israeli offensive and that many Palestinians there now lacked water, medicine and housing.
"The first and most urgent measure should be to end the isolation of Gaza, particularly by lifting restrictions on the movement of people and goods," Kellenberger said.

In meditation, Pema Chödrön advises that I look around–find out what is happening–so, I do. My mind evens out.
A breeze of equanimity continues to clear my brain fog; when necessary, it takes a broom to the cobwebs.
This airing out of thought allows me to be in the moment, my only real frame of experience.
But Chödrön gently reminds me that sometimes I have perspective and other times, I don't. If I am not fearless, then I'm not fearless. What I am is afraid. I need to look deeper into the experience the moment is offering me.
And, I need to be down with it. I need to let my emotions swirl–hopelessness, frustration, even despair–each moment I experience is the "perfect teacher." It is my traveling professor and knows what ails me. I will discover what I need if I just stay in the moment. It's up to me.
Should I take the day and turn it upside down looking for what I will not find? Why not take a closer look at the experience that is presenting itself–explore it, just a bit.
I, along with everything and everyone else in this physical dimension, am here to experience being alive. There is no need to dissociate or to escape from any moment. It is all an experience and no one event or situation stays the same.
Ever, there is the breeze of equanimity to clear the fog, to catch the cobwebs.

Aston Martin is being courted by Birmingham to invest in Longbridge after it emerged the luxury carmaker was considering a new plant to build 4x4s .
The brand is said to be considering Birmingham or Bridgend, in South Wales, for the new factory. But Midland business and civic leaders are desperate for the luxury carmaker to choose Longbridge as the ideal base to connect with the region's booming automotive sector.
Aston Martin is reported to have held talks with the Government and regional funding bodies over the potential of obtaining grants to support plans to build an eco-friendly electric or hybrid 4×4 .
Longbridge – home to car-making for more than a century – is the most realistic plot in the city for an Aston Martin plant.
Currently, there are only two choices with enough industrial land for a new car plant – the other being the council-owned Peddimore site near Walmley, in Sutton Coldfield, which would have to be released from green belt.
David Bailey, professor of industrial strategy at Aston Business School, said: "The problem Birmingham has is a lack of industrial land but there are still one or two sites which would be suitable, and it would likely be a fairly small facility, including Longbridge.
"That would really be fantastic, bringing Aston Martin to that site. Obviously MG are making some cars there but that would be great for south Birmingham.
An Aston Martin spokeswoman declined to comment on speculation over a new plant but it has been reported to be looking for a base to produce 3,000 of its DBX crossover vehicles a year.
Aston, owned by the Italian private equity fund Investindustrial and Kuwait's Investment Dar, hopes its green technology will help it to secure Government funding towards the plan.
A spokeswoman said there were no current plans to set up at Longbridge.
Business and civic leaders say Longbridge would have a strong case and would mark a major boost a decade after the MG Rover collapse.
Site owner St Modwen plans to create 10,000 jobs on the land over a 20-year period but is little more than a third of the way to that target.
Richard Burden, Labour's General Election candidate for the Northfield constituency, which includes Longbridge, said he had not held talks with Aston Martin, but would seek them.
He said: "Longbridge is a place of tremendous heritage and its location next to the Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation research and development centre could create real synergies for Aston Martin.
"It would help to make Birmingham a centre for high value specialist performance engineering along with Jaguar Land Rover to the north.
Also standing in Northfield are Liberal Democrat Steve Haynes, Anna Masters of the Green party and UKIP candidate Keith Rowe.

Because of our affiliation with Yale University, the Center provides a teaching and observation experience for Yale undergraduate and graduate fellows in training at the Yale Child Study Center. We also serve as a training site for other area colleges as well as high school students.
The Director Emerita is on the Yale Child Study Center, Psychology and Education Studies faculties.
The course deals with the development of curricula for young children. Goals are to deepen insights and develop critical analysis of educational programs for young children in light of current research and developmental theory. Understanding of the ongoing processes of curriculum development, creating a responsive environment, and working with families and other members of the teaching team will be a significant focus of the course.
There is a widespread consensus that play is an essential component of a developmentally appropriate early childhood curriculum. Research indicates that play enhances a child's creativity, intellectual development and social emotional development. This course will demonstrate the complicated role that play has in the development of language and literacy skills. A major part of each topic presentation will be a discussion of the role that play has in the curriculum in enhancing each developmental area. Literacy skills include speaking, listening, attending, reading and writing. Because learning to play, learning language and learning literacy skills are all part of the process of thinking and communication, the course will provide a view which attempts to demonstrate the integration of language, literacy and play in an early childhood education curriculum. Theoretical aspects of each of these developmental areas will be examined first, and it will be that theoretical understanding which will be the basis upon which ideas about curriculum will be explored, experienced and discussed.
The goal of this course is for students to develop a theoretical base in child development and behavior and to become sensitive and careful observers of young children. During the seminar we will consider aspects of cognitive, social, physical and emotional development. The course is taught from the perspective of a developmental interectionist approach. It gives an overview of the major theories in the field but will focus on the complex interaction between the developing self and the environment. Students have the opportunity to see how programs for young children use psychodynamic and interactional theories to inform their philosophy and curriculum. All students spend three hours per week as a participant observer in one of three Yale affiliated child care programs.
Calvin Hill Day Care Center, in collaboration with the Yale Child Study Center, is proud to offer two Fellowship opportunities for the 2018-2019 academic year. Our fellowship programs are a unique combination of engagement in a high quality preschool classroom setting and participation in related courses in a nationally renowned child development clinic. The one-year programs are designed as a supervised and supported entry into the professional world of early childhood education, childcare, and clinical work with young children.
For more information about our Fellowship program, please read the Fellowship Announcement.

ValeurThis interesting name has two possible origin, the first being that it is a variant of the English name 'Fuller', from the Old English pre 7th Century 'fullere', a name given to 'a dresser of cloth'. The second possible origin is Irish, from the Anglicized form of the Gaelic 'O' Fallamhain', a descendant of Fallamhan, which was a byname meaning 'leader', from 'follamhnas, supremacy. Fuller is first recorded in 1219 (Assize Rolls, Yorkshire) as Roger Fulur, and Fallon, although a common name in Ireland, was not recorded there until 1585 (Dysart, Athlone, County Roscommon). The surname can be found as Fallon, O' Fallon, O' Fallo(w)ne, Fal(l)oon and Fallen, and can also be found as Hallon, from the Gaelic O' Fhallamhain. In Ireland the name is mainly found in Counties Galway and Roscommon. Among the sample recordings in London are the marriage of Peter Fallon and Magdalen Hebert on October 28th 1704 at St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Westminster and the christening of William, son of James and Elizabeth Fallon on June 2nd 1839 at St. Luke's, Chelsea. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Anne Fallen (christening), which was dated March 14th 1565, St. Giles Cripplegate, London, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1, 'Good Queen Bess', 1558 - 1603. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to 'develop' often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

So my band, Earthquake Jake, made it through its first two gigs this weekend.
Enthusiastic crowds. On Friday night, someone inquired about hiring us for a Halloween party. Spyder, Kanga and A Librarian hung out for all four sets on Saturday. Thanks, guys!
I also appreciated my sister, Zen Zone Chick, coming out and bringing one of her neighbors even though she was sick. Hope you can stay longer next time!
The band sounded pretty darned good. There were a few minor mistakes, but no trainwrecks. In general, I was impressed with how tight we sounded considering that we've only had our current bass player for a few weeks.
I learned how to set up the PA and lights by myself.
The crowds were smaller than I would have liked. That was partly because the bars in question were a good 30 minutes outside of town. Still, I invited well over 100 people and it would have been nice to have seen more than four of them.
I'd forgotten how unpleasant it is to play all evening in a bar where people smoke. All my carpeted speaker cabinets smell nasty now.
The smoke plus my cold or allergies (or whatever it is I have) started to affect my voice by about the third set each night. On Friday night, we had to skip "Famous" by Puddle of Mudd at the beginning of the fourth set because it's really high and I didn't think I could hit the notes.
We weren't able to use our full PA because either the crossover wasn't working or we didn't know what we were doing when we tried to hook up the sub. We'll have to get that figured out between now and the next gig.
On Friday afternoon, I spent $96 on speaker cables alone. At $100 per night, it's going to take me months just to break even.
We're taking break from band practice this week, but we'll want to learn another four or five songs fairly soon to beef up the sets. A couple of them were a bit short of the ideal 45 minutes, even though they each contained ten or eleven songs.
With the impeccable timing I'm known for, I have returned from Las Vegas with a miserable illness. I'm not exactly sure what it is yet, but it appears to involve a sinus infection and tonsillitis.
Of course, this wouldn't be nearly such a big deal under ordinary circumstances, but this week is NOT the time for me to have a sore throat considering that I have band practice every single night and then, oh yeah, TWO gigs this weekend for which I am singing 38 songs per evening.
When I started feeling cold-y yesterday, I started with the Zicam swabs right away. I also added some multivitamin packs to my regimen and even drank some weird and slightly yucky "Throat Coat" tea.
Today I feel worse than ever and I'm dying to get a look at my tonsils but can't seem to find a flashlight anywhere.
Obviously I need to do whatever I can to fix this as quickly as possible. Looks like my lunch break is going to involve either a doctor visit or a trip to urgent care so I can get a strep test and procure whatever drugs are going to make this start getting better immediately.
I'll cut this short because my eyeballs hurt...oh, and I have to shower and get ready for work. Heavy sigh.
Hello all! BlogWorld Expo wrapped up yesterday, but I'm still in Las Vegas for one more day. It was great to meet a bunch of cool new social media people and touch base with old friends. I took copious notes at all the sessions I attended and I'll be posting them and links to the people I met when I get back.
There's one thing about my trip this time that's different than previous trips to Las Vegas that I've taken: my feet don't hurt anywhere near as much as usual.
I've still been doing a lot of walking, but because my footwear of choice these days is Converse Chuck Taylors, I decided to purchase some Dr. Scholl's gel insoles before I left home.
I've always cringed at and made fun of the "Gellin'" commercials, so I'm here to say that I officially eat my words because my feet feel a zillion times better than I had any reason to expect. You'll never get me to agree that the phrase "Gellin' like Magellan" isn't completely stupid, but the product itself definitely works as advertised.
Today my plan is to check my bags with the front desk and spend the day exploring and shopping. I'd like to see if I can find some good stage clothes for my upcoming gigs this weekend (Friday / Saturday).
So far I've spent exactly $1 gambling (20 cents at a time in a penny slot machine - I was up to $5.20 at one point!) and I might go crazy and spend another dollar before I leave town.
I'm looking forward to getting home to snuggle with the cats and sleep in tomorrow before I go back to work on Wednesday. More tomorrow!
This is only the second post after my little break and I'm already cheating! Tsk, tsk.
I picked this one up from Zandria. She'd cut some questions out from the original source, but I thought her edits were good so I'm leaving the list at nineteen, even though some of my answers are a little dull.
I skipped school one time when I was in high school. My boyfriend lived about six blocks from my school (although, oddly, he went to a different school). We hatched a plan wherein I took the bus to school and then walked to his house. I'm pretty sure his mother was in collusion with us. Because I had such a reputation for being a goody two-shoes, I didn't even get in trouble for it. When the office called me in to ask about my absence, I just said, "Didn't my mom call you?" and they let slide.
No, unless you count being there when various cats of mine were euthanized.
4. been on the opposite side of your country?
I live right smack in the middle, but I've been to both coasts.
5. swam in the ocean?
Yes, I've swum in the ocean in Florida, South Carolina and Jamaica.
6. had your booze taken away by the cops?
No, but when I was a teenager, I remember groups of us getting rousted from our local park by the park police for being "too noisy." I don't think we were doing much drinking then, just hanging out and playing our car stereos.
7. lettered in high school sport?
I am one of the least athletic people you will ever meet, but when I was in junior high school I struggled through two years on the track team. The first year, they put me on speed events such as sprints and relays, but I was too slow. Then they moved me to distance events, but I had no endurance. Shotput and other weight events were out of the question because I wasn't strong enough. On the third year, I stepped back and became a team manager, for which I received a letter.
8. played cops and robbers?
Not specifically. My sister and I were more into playing with Barbies or Fisher-Price people.
Yes, I'll sing karaoke on occasion. However, I generally try to stay away from it, not only because most karaoke singers are horrible, but because it takes money away from live bands like mine.
10. paid for a meal with coins only?
Definitely! I've paid for gas that way, too, but not since I was in college.
11. made prank phone calls?
I've never done the "Prince Albert in a can" type of prank calls, but my sister and I used to take turns getting on the phone with my boyfriend. Our voices are very similar and he couldn't tell who was who.
12. laughed until some sort of beverage came out of your nose?
13. written a letter to Santa Claus?
I'm sure I did write a letter to Santa Claus at one point, considering that I have evidence of my correspondence with the Tooth Fairy.
14. watched the sunrise with someone you care about?
No, I don't recall ever staying up specifically to watch the sun rise.
15. been kissed under the mistletoe?
Yes, particularly because I tend to forget to take it down after Christmas. That hasn't happened lately, though, because I didn't decorate at all last year.
No, but I've bailed people out of jail.
18. been skinny dipping outdoors?
Yes, I was on the news once as part of a story about a science fiction convention I was attending. I was also interviewed for a basic cable show about cars when I was at an event with the local Porsche Club. Oh, and I was in a TV commercial for a car dealer around the time I was in junior high.
Well, that was an interesting trip down memory lane. It's interesting that many of those things happened a really long time ago. If you decide to pick up this meme, leave a comment so I can read what you said.
What Do You Know? It's Average Jane.
I didn't intend to take a blogging break, but I'm living through one of those times when every day is pretty much the same and not really worth talking about. On top of that, I haven't felt very well for the last couple of weeks, so it got easy to let the blog (and Twitter, for that matter), slide a bit.
So here's some miscellanea that covers the past several days.
My cover band's new bass player is working out well and making the band sound tighter than before, even though he's just starting to learn the songs. We took a stab at setting up the PA at last night's band practice. Um, yeah. I'm glad my husband has a friend who used to work as a professional sound man. We're going to need to consult with him on a few things.
I guess it's not too early to start promoting my band's gig on September 26th. You'll find a flier here. It's a small club, but we're hoping to pack it pretty full, particularly because we're already booked there again in October.
In household news, we got a bid from the contractor for the remodeling of our guest room, repair of our garage ceiling and removal of the ivy that's taking over our deck and garage. It sounds reasonable, so I think we're ready to accept it and get started whenever the crew is available. Now I just need to choose colors and materials and start thinking about furniture.
I'm really enjoying the fall weather - I think it may be my favorite season. My sister and I went shopping in Parkville last weekend and decided that we need to make a point of attending some Oktoberfests this year with my niece and nephew. The Applefest in Weston is always a good one. Mmm, apple turnovers with vanilla ice cream!
The autumn chill is also putting me in the mood to cook heartier food. It's about time for bierocks and I can sense a batch of minestrone in my near future as well.
In fact, I may make minestrone on Saturday evening for the attendees of a board game night I'm having. I tried to organize a spur-of-the-moment game night last Saturday, but didn't manage to round anyone up then. I'm hoping to have more luck this weekend.
Well, I think I've rambled enough. Have a great Wednesday and we'll assume this marks my return to a regular posting schedule.
As part of our creativity symposium at work today, Stanley Jordan performed and spoke about creativity in terms of music. I've been a fan of his since his first album came out in 1985, and watching him play live was nothing short of amazing.
Enjoy his jazz-flavored performance of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven:"
Last night we auditioned our rhythm guitarist's brother to take over on bass. I've known him since we were both teenagers because he played rhythm guitar and sang in a band with my mom back then.
Long story short, it looks like he's going to work out great. He'll to have to hustle to learn all the tunes in just a few weeks, but he's willing to put in the effort.
If you're in the Kansas City area and I haven't already invited you to the "Sleep is for the Weak" book signing with my friends, editor Rita Arens of Surrender, Dorothy and contributor Kelli Oliver George of Rancid Raves, it's tomorrow (Thursday, September 4th) from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Barnes & Noble store on the Plaza. Here's the Facebook fan page with other cities' signings listed. Help support your local bloggers!
I'm going to keep this short because I'm heading into work early today and will no doubt be there late. My company puts on an annual two-day creative symposium where the office shuts down and everyone goes to an auditorium to hear interesting speakers and presenters discuss creativity. This year's symposium begins tomorrow, which means I have to finish my week's work today.
Have a lovely Wednesday (can you believe it's Wednesday?). Talk amongst yourselves.

Comparisons of methodologies for measuring methane emissions from sheep
Angela R. Moss, S. Jarvis, P. J. Murray
Journal: Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science / Volume 1998 / 1998
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 July 2018, p. 53
Agriculture is one of the major sources of methane in the UK and the major contribution is that from the ruminant animal. Most current inventories include evaluations of emission rates determined from ammals in respiration chambers. Methodolgy has been developed at IGER, North Wyke which enables measurements to be made with grazing animals (tunnel system). Preliminary measurements have indicated that methane emissions from grazing sheep in the tunnel system were lower than reported values for zero-grazed grass determined in chambers. The objective was to determine if these observed differences were a result of methodological differences.
Genetic analysis of a two generation selection experiment under outdoor conditions designed to disentangle direct and maternal genetic effects of piglet survival
R Roehe, N P Shrestha, W Mekkawy, E Baxter, P W Knap, K M Smurthwaite, S Jarvis, A B Lawrence, S A Edwards
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 November 2017, p. 105
Piglet survival is based on a complex interaction between the piglets own genetic component (direct genetic effects), the dams genetic contribution (maternal genetic effects) and environmental effects (systematic environmental such as year-season, common litter and individual environmental effects). Disentanglement of direct and maternal genetic effects needs a powerful design of genetic relationships. In order to accomplish this, a two generation selection experiment was designed with different selection groups for direct and maternal effects and cross-classification of these selection groups. Survival at birth and survival during the nursing period may have genetically independent components and would then be treated as different traits. In addition, piglet survival traits are reported to have low direct and maternal heritabilities and traits genetically associated with survival, such as birth weight, may result in a more efficient change in survival than using survival per se. Therefore, the objective of the research was to estimate the genetic parameters of direct and maternal genetic effects of survival and birth weight in order to enhance the selection strategies for piglet survival.
Risk factors for piglet mortality in outdoor farrowing systems
N.P. Shrestha, R. Roehe, K.M. Smurthwaite, S. Jarvis, A.B. Lawrence, S.A. Edwards
Outdoor farrowing system account for 27% of breeding sows in England, and it is therefore important to understand the factors affecting their production efficiency. Piglet mortality is a significant economic and welfare issue, with farrowing and preweaning losses in commercial oudoor herds currently averaging 19% of all pigs born. Since sophisticated environmental and human interventions at the time of farrowing are infeasible in these systems, risk factors may differ in importance from those seen in indoor systems. A better understanding of the risk factors for different causes of mortality will help to design strategies to minimise losses.
BSAS Ethical Policy British Society of Animal Science Ethical guidelines for research in animal science
S. Jarvis, J.E.L. Day, B. Reed
Animal science research is important in relation to our understanding of animals, their function and performance, and their relationships with their social and physical environments. Animal science research covers a wide range of disciplines and so can lead to the use of a variety of experimental techniques on animals for many different purposes. This has the potential to lead to a multitude of diverse ethical issues. Members of the British Society of Animal Science and authors of papers submitted to the Society for publication come from countries around the world and therefore are subject to differences in legislative requirements and recommendations regarding animal experimentation. These legal requirements, along with the ethical implications of the research must be fully considered before any experimental work is undertaken.
The influence of genetics and environment on indicators of piglet pre-weaning survival
E. Baxter, S. Jarvis, L. Sherwood, M. Farish, S. Robson, K. Smurthwaite, R. Roehe, S.A. Edwards
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 November 2017, p. 11
Recent estimates of total pre-weaning piglet mortality range between 16-19% (MLC 2006). With environmental modification using the farrowing crate reaching its potential to decrease mortality, as well as raising serious welfare concerns, a different approach to effectively address piglet survival is needed. Genetic breeding programmes implemented in alternative farrowing systems could prove a viable option.
Consistency in piglet mortality in individual sows and factors affecting piglet mortality
K. Fujita, R.B. D'Eath, S. Jarvis
Pre-weaning mortality (11.9% as estimated by M.L.C., 2000) continues to be a major economic and welfare problem in commercial indoor pig production. The main causes of mortality are crushing by the sow and low viability/starvation. Both of these causes of death may be as a result of increasing sow body size and smaller piglet body size as a result of intense genetic selection for increasing litter size. However it is unclear whether sows are consistent across parities in their level of pre-weaning mortality. Therefore this study aimed to examine individual differences in piglet mortality of sows throughout their reproductive life, investigate factors likely to affect piglet mortality, and to assess whether piglet mortality may be a candidate trait for genetic selection.

Asia after the Developmental State presents cutting-edge analyses of state-society transformation in Asia under globalisation. The volume incorporates a variety of political economy and public policy oriented positions, and collectively explores the uneven evolution of new public management and neoliberal agendas aimed at reordering state and society around market rationality. Taken together, the contributions explore the emergence of marketisation across Asia, including China, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam - what is now often described as the world's most economically dynamic region - and the degree to which marketisation has taken root, in what forms, and how this is impacting state, society and market relationships.

You see, the 454 in my Land Cruiser was so dirty and worn out that I didn't take much pride in letting people know what engine it had. I decided this had to change. Because what's the point in having a massive engine under the hood if it's old and underpowered?
Previously, I had done a Holley Terminator EFI install that brought my Big Block out of the Stone Age. While this upped the power and response by quite a lot, there was still room for improvement within the mechanicals of the engine.
I emailed Comp Cams tech support to see what kind of mild cam package they made for my very common 454ci engine. Fortunately, Comp sells this whole kit this as a bundle, so you know you're working with matched parts. This was a good package to open up!
Even though the RTV had barely dried on the intake manifold from the EFI installation, it had to come back off.
Instead of a flat tappet cam, I opted to swap to a full roller valve train for greater efficiency. These stamped steel rocker arms had to go.
I once again enlisted the help of my jet mechanic friend Phil. He restores Corvettes when he's not working on airplanes, so he has a lot of experience working on these old Chevy engines. First he showed me how to compress the valve springs and drop in the poly-lock retainers.
This is what a 40-year-old valve spring looks like next to a quality, performance part.
With my 454 coming from the late '70s, it had an extremely weak cam in it from the factory to reduce emissions. On top of that, the lobes had worn down over the years, leading to even less power. Out it came!
And in went the new Comp Cam. I went with a mild hydraulic roller cam for strong torque and good mileage. These are meant for a stock engine and often used in trucks, RVs and towing stock applications. Perfect for a Land Cruiser that would be seeing a lot of trail miles like mine.
I cleaned up the engine and hit it with some orange engine paint, then installed a new double roller timing set and this trick billet timing cover. The timing cover has a removable front plate which made setting up the cam much easier because you simply remove the cover to measure endplay.
The roller lifters were next.
I squirted each pair of lifters with oil, then felt them slide into the bore to make sure there wasn't any binding.
After bolting down larger 7/16-inch pushrod guide plates and dropping in the beefier pushrods, it was time to install these Ultra Pro Magnum roller rockers. Made from investment cast chromoly, this should be the last set of roller rockers I buy for a 454.
With the timing cover and harmonic balancer installed, I barred the motor over to feel the exact start and stop of TDC. I then marked each side of this window with masking tape, and set the timing pointer on the balancer mark.
The hard part was done, and I learned a ton in the process.
To clear the larger roller rockers, I needed a taller set of valve covers. I picked up these retro Mickey Thompson valve covers, which even came in throw-back packaging.
I put Play-Doh on the rockers, set the valve covers in place and carefully turned the engine by hand to verify there wasn't any interference.
Unfortunately it was a little close for comfort, so I had a bit more work to do. I could have sourced even taller covers, but I really liked these ones and was determined to make them work.
These are called oil drippers and their job is to collect and drip oil onto the rocker arms. I used a die grinder to sand them down and gain some clearance, then reinstalled the valve covers.
The Holley Terminator EFI and Weiand Stealth intake manifold found their way back into place while I worked on clearancing the vintage valve covers.
More fresh ARP bolts snugged down the valve covers, and the engine was done.
I removed the Trailhunter's donor Chevy radiator to work on the cam install, and when I got to looking at it I decided I would rather put in a radiator that was meant for an FJ60. After few texts to Ravi at CSF, he had a heavy-duty copper radiator in the mail to me.
Not only did the new CSF unit have more cooling capacity than a stock unit, it would also bolt in using the factory mounts.
This just meant I had to cut out the mounts the previous owner had welded in. I was not a fan of this steel mount that directly contacted the radiator.
Of course, as I cut the radiator mounts out I found the opportunity to do even more cleaning. So, with the radiator our of the way I crawled in front of the engine and got to work fixing a power steering leak and cleaning up the resulting mess.
The oily hardware went into my parts tumbler with degreaser.
I replaced all the power steering hoses and put it all back like new.
I picked up new fittings to adapt the transmission cooler lines to the new CSF radiator to wrap up the install.
The final step in cleaning up the engine bay was to sand and paint everything I could reach without pulling the engine. A little spray paint can go a long way!
Finally I could bolt in the CSF radiator and fill it with coolant to see how the Trailhunter ran with the new cam and all the other new performance valvetrain parts.
This was definitely the next step I needed to take. It was like the Holley Terminator EFI woke the engine up, then the Comp Cam valvetrain brought it up another notch again.
video! Let's hear that big block do its thing!
My God, so clean, it looks way better, and I bet it performs as well, great job Keith!
Love it! Great write up!
Love your projects Keith, speaking of which we need an ISF update.
Thanks! A parts tumbler is a cheap, worthwhile investment, especially if you have a Harbor Freight or Northern Tool near you.
Looks great. Must feel good to gut the thing and make it new again. Makes you think about how we scrap cars so quickly nowadays.
I love reading about this old landcruiser and project yankee. I don't see many old vehicles like this in the UK and the only builds i see tend to consist of someone putting air suspension on a vw.
I was exaggerating a bit but I lament the fact that the UK never got the same variety of interesting cars as the US and most of the old models that were here have been scrapped or used as deposits in our version of "cash for clunkers". The most interesting thing I've seen besides this build was a guy who stuffed an sr20 (n/a) into a 95 nissan micra.
Check out the forum known as retro rides, go to the retro rides gathering in august, your faith in the UK's car diversity will be quickly replenished.
I'll check that site out, hope you're right about my view of the UK modding scene. I'll always lament the absence or shortage of muscle cars and the weird Japanese machines that everywhere else seemed to enjoy though.
I bet just the sound waves of the BBC at idle now breaks apart Prius batteries. Good shizz. How much higher is your rev limit now?
I definitely gained some RPM, probably another 1000, just based on normal driving.
And just how exactly have you found the time to do this recently Keith? Lovely stuff man!
I finished a lot of this in Arizona before moving East, but had some loose ends to finish up once we got settled here.
Any chance you'll release the Trailhunter stickers for sale?
yes!!!! I need one too!
Even though this isn't my project, I felt a since of satisfaction and accomplishment from the work done. When reading the part about cleaning the power steering leak and degreasing the hardware, it really is the little things that make a project yours and you get a since of satisfaction from knowing its done right. The tedious work that goes into it can be a bit frustrating at times but when seeing the results pan out like this, it makes it all worth it. Just got a little more motivation for my own project, thanks!
Glad to hear I could provide a little motivation. It really does just take a lot of hours, especially if you want to do things "right" whatever your version of that is. I once had a friend teach me to never, ever reinstall a dirty part and it really stuck with me.
Nice article, and the engine bay looks great! I couldn't help but cringe at "poly-lock retainers" though. I think you were referring to the valve spring retainers in that picture. It looks like you put poly locks on to hold your rockers in place.
Oops! It's been a little while since I did the install and I was learning on the fly.
Very nice job again Keith! I love reading your diy stories and learning from them. thumbs up!
I certainly loved this article ! Very informative and useful to those with old cars who need to do some maintenance.
Thanks for the mention Keith. Sorry we didn't have a bit more time for schooling.
You've done a outstanding job cleaning up and doing this project the right way.

2019-05-16 Comments Off on Missouri Senate passes bill to ban abortions at 8 weeks Health News
Missouri Senate passes bill to ban abortions at 8 weeks
Missouri's Republican-led Senate has now passed a bill to ban abortions at eight weeks of pregnancy.
Senators approved the legislation 24-10 early Thursday with just hours left before a Friday deadline to pass bills. It needs at least one more vote of approval in the GOP-led House before it can go to Republican Gov. Mike Parson, who voiced support for it on Wednesday.
Parson called on state senators to take action, joining a movement of GOP-dominated state legislatures emboldened by the possibility that a more conservative Supreme Court could overturn its landmark ruling legalizing the procedure. Their vote came only hours after Alabama's governor signed the most stringent abortion ban in the nation on Wednesday, making performing an abortion a felony in nearly all cases.
The Missouri proposal includes exceptions for medical emergencies, but not for pregnancies caused by rape or incest. Doctors would face five to 15 years in prison for violating the eight-week cutoff. Women who receive abortions at eight weeks or later into a pregnancy wouldn't be prosecuted.
Outnumbered Senate Democrats launched into an attack on the bill before Republican supporters had a chance to bring it up for debate on the Senate floor.
"So much of this bill is just shaming women into some kind of complacency that says we are vessels of pregnancy rather than understanding that women's lives all hold different stories," St. Louis-area Democratic Sen. Jill Schupp told colleagues. "We cannot paint with a broad brush and interfere by putting a law forward that tells them what they can and cannot do."
Missouri is among a growing number of states where abortion opponents are working with renewed enthusiasm following President Donald Trump's appointment of more conservative high court justices. Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio and Georgia have approved bans on abortion once fetal cardiac activity can be detected , which can occur in about the sixth week of pregnancy. Similar restrictions in North Dakota and Iowa have been struck down in court.
Supporters say the Alabama bill is intentionally designed to conflict with the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationally in hopes of sparking a court case that might prompt the justices to revisit abortion rights.
Missouri's bill also includes an outright ban on abortions except in cases of medical emergencies. But unlike Alabama's, it would kick in only if Roe v. Wade is overturned.
If courts don't allow Missouri's proposed eight-week ban to take effect, it includes a ladder of less-restrictive time limits ranging from 14 to 20 weeks. Roe v. Wade legalized abortion up until viability, usually at 22 to 24 weeks.
"This is not a piece of legislation that is designed for a challenge," Missouri's Republican House Speaker Elijah Haahr said. "This is the type of legislation that is designed to withstand a challenge and to actually save lives in our state."
Other provisions in the wide-ranging abortion bill include a ban on abortions based solely on race, sex or a "prenatal diagnosis, test, or screening indicating Down Syndrome or the potential of Down Syndrome."
The bill would also require that both parents be notified for a minor to get an abortion, with exceptions. A change made after hours of late-night negotiations means written notification is only required if the second parent has joint legal or physical custody of the minor.
Current law requires written consent from only one parent.

Next Post:I want to remember that!


Microwave chemistry has expanded over the last two decades due to the enhanced reaction rates achieved for many processes, including organic synthesis, inorganic synthesis and polymerization. Significant time and energy saving can be realized using microwave chemistry, which is important both commercially and for the environment.
One of the most exciting and commercially/technologically significant areas where microwave energy has been demonstrated to influence the kinetics and selectivity is in the synthesis of nanoporous materials, such as zeolites. New nanoporous materials can be created, and the times for their syntheses can be significantly reduced, involving using less energy. By reducing the times by up to over an order of magnitude, continuous production would be possible to replace batch synthesis.
However, the mechanism and engineering for the enhanced rates of these syntheses are unknown. The results from different laboratories are not consistent, and experimental details are sparse. Therefore, more research is required to unlock the mystery behind this "gee-wiz" chemistry. Furthermore, understanding the fundamental processes leading to rate enhancement by microwaves will also enable the optimization of these microwave heated reactions.
In this work, the formation of SAPO-11 (and AlPO-11), silicalite and NaY zeolites under microwave heating was investigated and the influence of various microwave reactor engineering parameters was studied. Microwaves enhanced the SAPO-11 synthesis by two orders of magnitude over the conventional synthesis. Both nucleation and growth steps were enhanced by the presence of microwaves. Fast microwave heating was not solely responsible for this enhancement. This indicates that non-thermal interactions of material with microwaves are present for this synthesis.
Many microwave reactor engineering parameters were identified as possibly influencing the microwave synthesis of SAPO-11 (and AlPO-11). These factors are precursor volume, reaction temperature, reactor size, stirring, applicator type and microwave frequency. Among those, the reaction temperature had the greatest influence on this SAPO-11 (and AlPO-11) synthesis. Increasing the reaction temperature decreased the nucleation time and increased the growth rate. The crystallization growth rate in the microwave synthesis showed higher activation energy (1.5 times) compared to the conventional synthesis. However, the pre-exponential factor increased by 8 orders of magnitude in the microwave synthesis. Nucleation rate also showed an increase in the activation energy (3.6 times) and an increase in the pre-exponential factor (10 orders of magnitude) by using microwave heating. This substantial increase in the pre-exponential factor could be the reason behind this microwave synthesis enhancement.
High temperature, stirred synthesis, large vessel and using multimode field distribution oven found to be the optimum reaction conditions for microwave synthesis of SAPO-11 (and AlPO-11).
Thermal variations within SAPO-11, silicalite and NaY synthesis solutions were measured using a reaction vessel with multiple fiberoptic temperature probes. NaY synthesis solution has the shortest microwave penetration depth among these zeolite synthesis solutions which led to great thermal variations between the region near the wall (high temperature) and the center (low temperature) when placed in a vessel with diameter 20 times larger than its penetration depth. Increasing these thermal variations led to a decrease in the nucleation time and thus enhanced this NaY microwave synthesis.
Microwave power delivery mode (pulsed vs. continuous) effect on the synthesis of the three zeolites mentioned above was investigated. Pulsing the microwave power required less average power to maintain the synthesis reaction temperature compared to continuous delivery mode. No effect of using pulsed compared to continuous microwave power delivery was found on the nucleation time and the crystal growth for these zeolite syntheses. However, pulsed microwave power delivery produced smaller particles in the case of SAPO-11.
The effect of simultaneous cooling effect on the microwave synthesis of SAPO- 11 and silicalite was studied. Increasing the amount of power delivered to the SAPO-11 synthesis while maintaining the reaction temperature fixed using the simultaneous cooling, decreased the nucleation time and increased the growth rate. Smaller particles were formed at high power. Silicalite showed no change in the nucleation time, crystal growth and/or the morphology. This indicates that there is no universal pattern among the microwave synthesis of zeolites. What could be an important factor for one synthesis is not necessarily important for another, and is likely dependant on the dielectric properties and the reaction mechanism.
Key words: Zeolite, SAPO-11, silicalite, NaY, microwave synthesis, nucleation, crystal growth, frequency, reactor engineering, overheating, temperature distribution, pulsing power delivery, simultaneous cooling.

Suitable for riders who have an interest in Endurance riding and would like to compete.
Rates are quoted per person sharing for 7 nights.
Included – All riding & half board accommodation.
Excluded – Flights, transfers, lunches, drinks and tips.
A very unique riding holiday, which specialises in 'Endurance Training', combining riding and theory to give clients a very well rounded knowledge about the sport.
It includes six days of intensive training, where you will ride for 2 – 3 hours per day and learn the theory of horse management, feeding, medical treatment and the physical side of endurance riding. This all culminates on the last day, during which you will put into practice what you have learnt and you will ride under the conditions of a simulated endurance competition for about 30km.
The Endurance Training horses themselves are perfect for the job, very well trained Arabs and Anglo-Arabs, many of whom have already competed in endurance competitions.
Your Endurance Training guide and trainer for the week is Paula, who is an equine vet, has also competed in endurance riding herself and acted as assisting vet during competitions. She is very well qualified, speaks very good English and an absolute pleasure to work and train with in this special 'Endurance Training' horse riding holiday.
Please see details of the day by day itinerary below.
Endurance Training Horses – A good set of Arabs & Anglo Arabs, many of whom have already competed in endurance competitions.
Endurance Training Level of Riding & Pace – Intermediate plus riders only.
Endurance Training Weight Restriction – 100kg / 15 stone 7lbs / 220lbs.
The accommodation on this Endurance Training holiday is very charming, well looked after, comfortable, clean and spacious.
There are eight suites and four bedrooms with shower rooms, telephone, WIFI, satellite TV, air conditioning, hair dryer, safe and mini fridge (stocked with water, canned drinks and beers). Each room is decorated to a high standard, utilising local stone and materials. There are lots of thoughtful touches such as painted decoration on the walls.
The food on this Endurance Training holiday is authentic Sardinian style, which uses local and organic ingredients and served either in the dining room or outside on the terrace.
Most guests stay on a B&B or half board basis, but if you would like a lunch then you can tell them in the morning and a light brunch will be provided for you at an extra cost. This usually combines salads, cheeses and cold meats with bread.
Drinks are not included at mealtimes but you can choose from house red or white or Prosecco. After dinner you might like to sample the local speciality – a liqueur called Mirto (made with Myrtle).
There is a bar next to the reception from where you can get extra drinks at anytime.
Horse Riding Holidays like our Horse Riding Endurance Training Holiday are part of the Zara's Planet collection of Horse Riding Holidays Italy.
Arrival and check-in followed by dinner.
Today you will meet your horse and become accustomed to them. Each rider will groom and tack up their own horse before their first ride of approximately 2 hours along the coast. You will get to know the horse and enjoy the fantastic landscapes close to the sea. After the ride you will clean your horse down, feed and water them. Then you will receive a briefing of the programme for the next few days, during which your trainer will give you a theory lesson about endurance riding and about the rules which are valid for every class (30km, 60km and 90km).
Today will serve as an opportunity to feel the power of your horse. You will enjoy a ride of around 2 hours and will concentrate on the feeling of all three paces in order to understand the particularities of your horse. After the ride you will discuss the characteristics of each horse and how this may affect their endurance. Then there is a theory lesson regarding the correct feeding of a horse in accordance with its level of work.
This riding day is all about learning to train with the use of the watch. There will be a 3 hour ride involving more speed, during which you will start to train the paces (walk, trot and canter), according to the time schedule. For example: 20 minutes walk, 10 minutes trot, 10 minutes canter, 15 minutes trot, 15 minutes canter and so on. As you can imagine, this is also intensive training for the rider! Afterwards you will observe how the horses recover. There will also be a vet-check after the ride: controlling heart rate, respiration, dehydration, capillary fill and so on. You will learn how to control your horse so as to detect stiffness or lameness.
Before starting your ride today the vet will check the horses and explain the results. The following training will be based on the diagnostic findings of the vet check. Based on the levels of fatigue, the ride will take between 1.5 and 2 hours. You will learn how to programme the training units in order to reach a maximum result of endurance and physical condition.
You will have a 2 hour ride including all paces. Today you will also work in the sea water and doing a lot of up and down work over the hills. Afterwards there is a discussion of horse fitness and what kind of supplementary food is required for each horse. You will learn how to feed each type of horse according to the different competition classes.
During this last day of training you will ride under the conditions of a simulated endurance competition for about 30km (about 2.5 hours), eventually using a GPS. You should be able to put into practice what you have learned before! The ride starts with a vet check. During the ride the riders should be able to indicate what pace is suitable and for how long and also which strategy they should take according to the characteristics of their horse. The riders should also come to know when assistance is needed for their horse (such as drinking, washing, mineral supplements and so on). The last vet check will be 30 minutes after arrival back at the stables. After this training week you will hopefully have a lot of knowledge and practice which will be useful for riding your horse at home. All the training rides are done close to the sea where the flat ground allows for riding at pace. The landscapes are beautiful and include sandy beaches, pinewoods, sand dunes, rocky coastline and salt lakes. Each day you will have lunch at the house by the sea or as a beach picnic if the weather allows (other meals eaten at the hotel as usual).
Please note that the itinerary may vary and riders will require a hire car to reach the beach stables each day (driving from the hotel).

We'll lift visa ban on Nigeria if…- US
The United States has declared that the visa ban placed on Nigeria and other countries was a temporary measure.
The US Ambassador to Nigeria, Mary Leonard, said the visa ban could be resolved between the two countries if the Nigerian government meets certain conditions.
The US ambassador said that Nigeria needed to meet information sharing goals before the decision would be reversed by the US government.
She said this during a visit to the Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige in Abuja on Tuesday.
The ambassador said the ban was based on US concerns over needs for information sharing and not about character definition.
Leonard said that students visa were not included in the ban.
The ambassador said the immigrant visa ban does not affect people who are currently resident in the United States.
She also said the ban does not cancel the status of anyone who is currently in the United States.
The US ambassador said: "I need to clarify something for you here, the immigrant visa ban does not affect people who are currently resident in the United States.
"It does not cancel the status of anyone who currently is in the United States.
"What Secretary Pompey said was something that was meant to be temporary.
"And it is about problems with information sharing which are investigable, achievable and resolveable and we look forward to Nigeria in a very short time being able to meet those information sharing goal so that the decision can be reviewed."
The US ambassador noted that Nigeria was blessed with the ingenuity to diversify its economy, noting that the industrious endowment of many Nigerians home and abroad.
According to her, these were ingredient that should be employed to tackle unemployment.
"I think for Nigeria, you have an interesting story about diversification of your economy and prosperity of your economy and it is people.
"You know Nigerians are so well known at home and abroad for their industriousness.
"You know you hear about how much of the activity in the informal sector. So I wonder how you think about capturing that entrepreneurial spirit and to bringing it into the formal sector in service and to enhance employment," she added.
Ngige said the inclusion of Nigeria in the list of countries under the US travel ban was a shock to the country.
The minister described the ban as unwarranted because of the contribution of Nigerian professionals to the US economy.
The Minister said: "Some of these Nigerians are medical doctors, engineers and people with high level of proficiency in oil and gas fields.
"They were all part of the Nigerian residents in the US and it came to us as a rude shock when the US government banned Nigerians and put us in the list of those countries whose residency status have been cancelled."
Ngige urged the US ambassador to discuss the visa ban issue with her home government in order to reach an understanding and have it reversed.
The Minister told the US ambassador that more than 70 per cent of Nigerians living in the US were highly skilled professionals who contributed billions of dollars yearly to US economy while sending equally impressive amount to Nigeria.
He used the opportunity of the visit to seek for collaboration and assistance of the US in the area of poverty eradication and child labour. He said Nigeria would not demand for money from the US but other forms of assistance.
"We have called on the US Department of Labour to assist and we have given them a list of what we need.
"We are not asking for monetary assistance and we are not asking for American cash but we need technical assistance and logistics like vehicles for those in the inspectorate division to be able to carry out their functions.
"We call on US to help us build schools in those areas where child labour is endemic. You also help in setting up clinics and executing its own empowerment programmes in those localities," the minister added.

How the passport can be modified to be the keytwo?
A forth row of number keys would also serve a secondary purpose of reducing the screen vertically into a nearly 3:2 aspect ratio territory out of the 1:1 that Google condemns ...what else?
I don't think one extra row added to they keyboard would change the aspect ratio of the screen that much. Nor do I think it would make sense to have a phone with the screen permanently in landscape orientation. I also don't think that would play very nice with many applications. In fact, I would be surprised that this isn't already prohibited from the OHA requirements.
Basically, I just don't see it as a good idea. What else? Probably accept that the Passport was a one of a kind flagship model that will finally not have any successors.
I am afraid you are right. But I loved workwide and wished I had the option in android. All considered the keytwo could be a wider and a bit taller than the KEYone. I know it's also useless to say but I still think a passport slider , also with a pen, would have been a work tool like no other. Sure a bit heavy, but if made of lighter material than the passport could have worked.
I'm in favor of this option more than any other bastardized form of the Passport that I've heard discussed around here. Mostly because I'm a fan of the slider form. But, also, because many of the suggestions of a Passport that could meet the requirements of Android include changing the size of the thing. This to me immediately means that it is no longer a successor to the Passport because the entire reason the Passport is called "the Passport" is because it is the exact same dimensions as an international passport.
A slider of the Passport form factor would definitely be interesting. It would make a great little tablet.
Leave Passport alone. TCL won't have the same capability as BlackBerry did. Besides, Android doesn't support 1:1 ration screen.
I am afraid you are right. But I loved workwide and wished I had the option in android.
Workwide? Just long press the recents button (square) and you can then pick 2 apps to appear on the recents page and you just tap back and forth to access either app.

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley declared Feb. 19-24 as Severe Weather Awareness Week to encourage people to make their own personal preparations long before severe weather strikes. On average each year in the US there are 10,000 severe thunderstorms, 5,000 floods, 1,000 tornadoes, and an average of 2 hurricanes making landfall. "The key is readiness," Governor Bentley said. "When storms strike, it's too late to prepare. Let's prepare now." Yesterday was dedicated to Severe Thunderstorms, while today is dedicated to Lightning which will be followed up by Tornados, Flooding, and Weather Radios.
While this is a pretty simple message, it still is some good advice, even if the sky is clear where you are at. Some "bolts from the blue" have been known to strike up to 15 miles away from the actual storm. Most strikes generally occur where the storm is at currently (60- 70%), with the remainder extending out 3 miles from it, which is why the sign above cautions one not to venture out for another 30 minutes.
If you can hear thunder, then lightning is close enough to strike you so move to a safe shelter.
While many say this is a myth, I have seen the effects of lightning damage to homes so I would recommend staying off corded phones, computers and other electrical equipment that may put you in direct contact with electricity.
While your house is a shelter it can still be hit so you shouldn't lay on concrete floors, or lean against the walls.
Consider installing a whole house surge arrest which should help protect your electronics. Even with one of those, about once a year we will get one of those storms where I will still unplug some of our electronics.
Do you remember that ball shaped posture one should take during a thunderstorm, it isn't all about protecting your head, but rather minimizing your size and minimizing the ground contact differences.
Speaking of ground contact, do not stand with your feet far apart, but keep them close together & whatever you do not lay out on the ground. Along those lines, don't bunch up as group but spread out and don't be holding hands. If you must comfort your wife or a kid, stand as close together as possible.
As mentioned in the video above; contrary to certain urban myths, said individual does not carry an electrical charge and will probably need immediate medical attention. Not only did they have a ton of voltage flowing through them, but the heat from that electricity can be intense. Make sure you monitor their condition, and perform first aid as needed. It would also be wise to call 911 even if they say they are fine and get immediate medical attention.

NOTHS engaged X-Factor viewers by asking them a question in a pre-produced ad spot. They were asked to watch the next NOTHS ad and count how many Christmas trees they saw. Viewers Tweeted their answers to @notonthehighst using the hashtag #treespotting for a chance to win a £5,000 NOTHS shopping voucher.
never.no's Social TV platform STORY was used to aggregate the results, read all the entries, automatically check for the 'correct answer', reject repeat entries, compile a list of all correctly answered Tweets and then generate a random winner. The winner's name was then delivered by never.no systems to be displayed live onair in the next ad spot.
The social nature of the campaign drove interest in the ad and engaged the viewers, creating a PR buzz.


Nepal jolted India by winning the opening point but there was no stopping the mighty Indians once they recovered from the initial shock for a convincing 3-1 win in the final to take the South Asia Under-21 Regional Mixed Team title.
In the picturesque Kathmandu high in the Himalaya mountains, India was trailing following the 12-21, 17-21 defeat of Priyanshu Rajawat in the men's singles by Nepal's Nabin Shrestha.
India hauled themselves back into contention when rising star Malvika Bansod made short work Rasila Maharjan with a comfortable 21-8, 21-5 in the women's singles.
Nepal kept themselves with hope in the men's doubles with Nabin Shrestha-Prince Dahal offering stiff resistance but could not stop Vishnu Vardhan Goud-Dhruv Gaut from a 21-15, 21-17 win to give India a 2-1 lead.
India made sure of the title when Purva Barve-Tanisha Crasto strolled past Jessica Gurung-Ranjans Bhatt 21-5, 21-15 for an unassailable lead.
In the semi-finals, India outplayed Sri Lanka 3-0 while Nepal downed Bangladesh by a similar scoreline.
Five countries - India, Bangladesh, Nepal, the Maldives, and Sri Lanka took part in the annual championships.


We dare you to watch the video to the end and not get goosebumps!
The voice of local singer Katie McCarthy's rang out through Letterkenny to open the St. Patrick's Day celebrations on Saturday. Thanks to a video filmed by her proud father, Katie's take on the national anthem can still be heard and enjoyed by people all over the county and beyond.
The 12-year-old from Cloghan confidently took to the main stage this March 17th to sing Amhrán na bhFiann for the town. A pupil of SN Taobhoige and Blue Ribbon student, Katie's vocals amazed the crowd and earned a huge applause from the public and guests.
"Katie was approached through her school, SN Taobhoige, asking if she would sing Amhrán na bhFiann at the opening of the 2018 St.Patrick's Day parade, Letterkenny, Co.Donegal.
"Katie jumped at the chance, knowing this was such an honour to be asked, but knew she only had 24 hours to practice. As the parade starting time approached, so did the excitement," Jimmy said.

This is when Kawhi Leonard is returning to Toronto to face the Raptors
The one-time King of the North who abandoned his throne in Toronto for Los Angeles is set to return to The 6ix next season for a marquee December matchup.
Yes, winter is coming — and along with it shall come the return of Kawhi Leonard to Toronto's Scotiabank Arena.
The Los Angeles Clippers, who won the hard-fought battle for Kawhi's hand in free agency last month, are set to take on the Toronto Raptors in a home game on December 11, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Sources: Notable superstar return games on 2019-20 NBA schedule:
Clippers' Kawhi Leonard at Toronto: Dec. 11
Lakers' Anthony Davis at New Orleans: Nov. 27
Nets' Kyrie Irving at Boston: Nov. 27
Rockets' Russell Westbrook at Oklahoma City: Jan. 9.
— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) August 2, 2019
Unless Leonard is out for some reason, the game will see LA's newest superstar face off against the friends he just led to their first-ever NBA Championship in Toronto.
It'll be a bittersweet moment for fans, to be sure — and one that you can bet every local news outlet will be paying attention to... if not sending helicopters to follow the two-time NBA Finals MVP from airport to arena.
Let's try not to embarrass ourselves too hard this time, Toronto.
