Form Holdings is best known for their series of children's educational programmes made in the 1990s, which include the Mental Arithmetic series, the ABC English for Children series and many others. All these were published under the '''Form Records''', '''Form Kidz''', and '''Form Music Publication''' labels.
The cast of these programmes included Channel 8 actors and actresses like Chen Liping, Huang Wenyong, Emily Yeo, and Tang Miaoling, and child actors from the era like Koay Jing Li, David Tham, and Darence Ang amongst others. However, like in most Channel 8 shows in the 1990s, their voices were mostly dubbed over by TCS dubbing artistes.

===ABC English for Children (1992 - 1996)===
Probably the most well-known Form publication, this series starred Chen Liping as the teacher and ran to 6 volumes. Some volumes were also available in English, Cantonese, and Malay dubs. A seventh volume under the same name, unrelated to the rest of the series, was produced by Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd many years later.

Pseudokalavost ili lučenje je pucanje kristala duž gustih ravnina paralelnih strukturnim "slabostima" ili defektima na kristalu. Defekti kristala mogu biti pukotine mikroskopskih dimenzija nastale naprezanjem u strukturi kristala zbog naglog hlađenja, tlačnih sraslaca, pojava sraslačkih šavova, pojava izdvajanja kemijski različitih materijala kod čvrstih otopina pri normalnoj temperaturi, itd.

The Science and Technology of Marie Curie
by Julie Knutson | 15 June 2021
Categories: Science & Technology Science Academic Health & Beauty
Finalist for the 2021 AAAS/Subaru SB&F Prize for Excellence in Science Books in the Hands-on Science Book category! Science Knutson's book brims with sidebars on topics ranging from the structure of the atom to the bicycling craze of the 1890s. School Library Connection "Every STEM teacher and school librarian should absolutely add this title to their collections." A science biography that delves into the world of Marie Curie, a person who revolutionized the way we perceive the universe while getting the world to question gender roles and social norms. Follow in her footsteps with hands-on STEM activities! In The Science and Technology of Marie Curie , readers ages 9 through 12 explore Curie's groundbreaking scientific research in physics and chemistry and discover how her work forced people to rethink the very structure of the surrounding world and the role of women within it. Her commitment to understanding things the human eye can't even see led to the discovery of two new elements--polonium and radium--and to the birth of a new field of research around radioactivity. In the process, she was the first woman to earn a Nobel Prize and the only person ever to win two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields, all as she reset society's ideas about women's roles in society. By learning about the work of Marie Curie, kids gain insight into the atomic universe through hands-on STEM activities, essential questions, text-to-world connections, and links to online resources that encourage readers to take a closer look into everything going on around them. The Science and Technology of Marie Curie is part of a set of three Build It Science Biographies that capture the curiosity of three science revolutionaries who were able to glimpse beyond the limits of human experience and make discoveries that continue to resonate today. Other titles in this set include The Science and Technology of Leonardo da Vinci and The Science and Technology of Ben Franklin .

everything NO is about the attempt and the impossibility of rendering a megacity like Shanghai experienceable through its acoustic appearance.
Urban spaces are not but a conglobation of houses, industrial estates, and streets, they are an expression of a heterogeneously cultural, social, economical, and political society, and the stage of (revolutionary) transitions. The sound of European, African or Asian cities is marked by the complex matrix of their social practices. Cities have their characteristic yet hardly prehensible acoustic pattern. Since the beginning of the 20th century they have fascinated artists who initially captured the reality of the city via film or sound recordings, or like the futurists who celebrated the noise of the industrialised city as the symbol for a new society. Today's sound artists' interest has differentiated itself outbound from the concretely recorded sound, the focus is always on new aspects of urbanity: on meanings and memories or abstracted structures, or the work is created from the contact with the city and in interactions of the people living there.
During the artistic appropriation artists distance themselves from the urban reality or intensify it. Strategies of transmission, of sonic journalism, of emblematism, the layers of mediatisation form the artistic canon of this contact with reality, which is systematised and emphasised through the terms of urbanisation, combination, mechanisation, and globalisation.
The starting point of URBAN SOUNDS is the trinational space. Artists and institutions from the region enter into a dialogue with their tri- and international colleagues. URBAN SOUNDS presents concerts and talks along the named axis historically, and contemporary and newly initiated works from the trinational and global space in one exhibition.


HealthPathways WA is a website that provides guidance to clinicians on managing over 500 clinical conditions. The pathways contain medical guidance on the assessment and management of clinical conditions, and administrative information on access to diagnostics, specialist opinion, specialist treatment services and other supports.
The target audience for HealthPathways WA is primary care clinicians responsible for managing patients in the community, and for initiating requests (including referrals to hospital) for specialist assistance. General practitioners lead the writing and editing process with input and consultation from specialists and other health professionals across the state.
Patients benefit from general practice and other services being able to do more for them in the community, from the greater clarity clinicians can provide about the appropriateness and likelihood of obtaining further specialist services, and about alternative options.
Clinicians benefit through relationship building with their primary care and hospital specialist colleagues as they localise HealthPathways, and through greater confidence and options in managing their patients.
The WA 'health system' benefits through less demand on acute and residential care services as patients are better managed in the community, freeing up resources to provide more elective services and increase assistance to primary care.
Who is involved in HealthPathways WA?
The website is administered by the HealthPathways WA team based at the WA Primary Health Alliance. General Practitioners lead the work to localise and develop the pathways in conjunction with hospital specialists, allied health providers, key stakeholders and the community.
We have a partnership agreement with the Department of Health and the Area Health Services to allow collaboration across the sectors.

Castro's Top Woman Aide Celia Sanchez 1960

Fiery speech by boy orator at rally is lauded by Castro and top woman aide Celia Sanchez.

The 1960 Look Magazine picture of Celia Sanchez was very precious. I have an upcoming book and a popular Website that is devoted largely to Celia and the Cuban Revolution. The book will be published in 2005 by Algora Publishing of New York City and is entitled REVOLUTIONARY HEART: The True Story of Celia Sanchez. I also have a popular Website [url=http://www.cubatruth.com]http://www.cubatruth.com[/url] that shows the front and back covers of the book; the "Updates" icon features columns about Cuba. I visited Cuba in March of 2004 via a legal license from the U.S. Treasury to finish research on my Celia Sanchez book. The book and the Website often quote letters Celia wrote (from 1959 till her death from cancer in 1980) to a dear American friend, an elderly black woman who became my all-time dearest friend. I admire Celia enormously, as you can detect from my Website and upcoming book, and I believe she was/is the most important person in the Cuban Revolution, and I believe Fidel Castro agrees with that assertion.

Off and on since 1984, I have researched Celia Sanchez, in the hopes of writing a book or doing a documentary; however my life got in the way. I may finally have an opportunity to go to Cuba soon and finish my project. I once had a viedo in Spanish of Celia; it was taken by a producer who I thought might help me and she never returned it and is not to be found. Who out there can help me get back on track. All my research is in storage and I'm getting it out this week of the New Year!

A few years ago I stayed at a Casa Particular outide of Havana The woman who owned the house was the widow of a rebel fighter and officer in the Sierra Maestra in 1958, and had some unpublished photos of here husband , Celia and others. Unforunately , her husband died in the mid 90s but she MAY be a good source of information for your book. I have to go through my records and see if I have a business card from the house. When are you going to Cuba ?

I appreciate the comments about Celia Sanchez and about my 2005 biography of her published by Algora Publishing of NYC. I have a second biography of Celia that will be published late this year; this one is 25 chapters, 223 pages, with each chapter fronted by a quotation by or about Celia Sanchez, such as her quotation: "The Batistianos will never regain control of Cuba as long as I live or as long as Fidel lives." She first made that declaration in 1959 and then repeated it at least three historic times prior to her death from cancer in 1980. A notable and determined LA/NY actor/producer has purchased the film rights to my new Celia Sanchez manuscript. The new column that first comes up on my http://www.cubatruth.com Website explains why I have chosen to write a second biography of the incomparable Celia Sanchez. (Rich Haney)

I respect the above opinions including the author's, I and I'm completely sure that many Cubans from Cuba and abroad would disagree with them.
Celia Sanchez was definitely a strong character woman and I admire a lot her time during the guerrilla war.
However her "successes" after the revolution are another example of what the Cuban government leaded by Castro had done with the country.
After the revolution she had no official position but every body knew that she had a lot of power. She was able to solve the unsolvable and more.
She was part of a system where people got houses, cars and things only because they were her acquaints, while much more needed people did not get anything. She did not give anything that belongs to her; she played with Cuba's money as if it were her own.
After 1959 the dove, her family and friends lived as millionaires in a country where Doctors were making 20 USD a month and sugar workers 7 USD a month.
That's how totalitarian and dictatorial regimes work.

I wont dispute with what you're saying about the standard of living of the new elite after teh revolution (won't necessarily agree with it - i don't know), but i think the result of the revolution was a definite upward shift in teh standard of living of the majority of the people - medical care, higher education etc which they did not get under batista.
I dont think there was either a net gain or loss of personal freedoms because i think the battista governement was anything but liberal.
My problem is that once the standard of living improved it was time to allow more personal freedoms and even set the stage for the castro government to be voted out of office if the majority of the people felt it best for the country to do so. Cecila, i'm sure played a major role in preventing that from happening so that, unfortunately, we may see it happening only in the waning days of the castros or even have to wait beyond that - kind of sad.
To many people , incl myself, Fidel is a very great man nevertheless; he could have been one also to the many who, for good reason, dispise him.

Postings #11 and #12 relating to my posting about Cuban revolutionary heroine Celia Sanchez discussed the point that "After 1959 the dove (Celia Sanchez), her family and friends lived as millionaires in a country where Doctors were making 20 USD a month…" That is, of course, 100% wrong but is typical of the ease with which total misinformation about the revolution is prevalent in the U. S. From 1959 till her death from cancer in 1980 Celia was the top decision-maker in Cuba, so the internationally acclaimed photographer Roberto Salas, an intimate of both Celia and Fidel Castro, was correct when he stated in his book A REVOLUTION IN PICTURES that "Celia made all the decisions for Cuba, the big ones and the small ones." Yes, if she had chosen to do so, Celia as well as her family and friends, could have lived as millionaires in Revolutionary Cuba. But, like Castro, she was born rich and all her life was noted for giving her material possessions to the peasants. As the prime decision-maker in Revolutionary Cuba, Celia continued to do exactly that. Her prime residence was a small apartment on 11th Street in Havana; her only car was a cheap, small Matari. One reason Celia is idolized, even worshipped, on the island today is because that basic fact of Celia's character is well known to the majority peasants, including the younger generation that is constantly told about her. If you have been to Cuba, as I have, you will readily be exposed to the worship of Celia Sanchez; if you don't go to Cuba, you are not supposed to ever hear about her because it is a bit hard for her enemies—the Batistianos, the Mafia, and the U. S. government—to demonize her because every aspect of her guerrilla fighting and her governmental leadership was centered on bettering the lives of the peasants, not enriching or empowering herself. Rosa Jordan, one of Canada's top authors, has been to Cuba many times and she wrote the notable book Cycling Cuba as well as books made into Hollywood movies. Ms. Jordan wrote me an 8-page letter after reading my first biography of Celia Sanchez, and she spent that long letter confirming the amazing hold Celia Sanchez has on the Cuban peasants to this day. Thus, I agree with Rosa Jordan that Celia Sanchez was not only the prime reason the Cuban Revolution triumphed on January 1, 1959, but is the prime reason it has survived against overwhelming odds for all these decades. Thus, I believe in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave we should be free enough and brave enough to learn about an historic figure of that statue. I am a lifelong conservative Republican and I believe the Cuban Revolution can be criticized but I think it belittles and demeans the U. S. to so easily lie about both the Cuban Revolution and the vile U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship that preceeded it. Celia, for example, was transformed from being an angelic doctor's daughter to the greatest and most fearless anti-Batista guerrilla fighter and revolutionary leader by what she considered the legal and typical rape-murder of a ten-year-old peasant girl named Maria Ochoa. If you watch the History Channel documentary DECLASSIFIED: The Godfathers of Havana, you will see that Batista's Cuba was precisely as Celia Sanchez depicted it. Then, perhaps, you will understand why Celia made (and backed up) her most famed proclamation: "The Batistianos will never regain control of Cuba as long as I live or as long as Fidel lives." When asked how in the hell she put together a peasant revolution that ended up defeating the combined forces of Batista, the Mafia, and the United States, Celia replied: "I loved Cuba. They loved gluttony. I guess I loved Cuba more than they loved gluttony." She was very modest and always tried to deflect credit to others. But she loved Cuba and the Cuban peasants with a passion. As it turned out, her powerful enemies had no one who could out-fight or out-smart her. And no, although she had that opportunity, she never enriched or empowered herself but always tired to enrich and empower the peasants. If she had a milllion dollars, she gave a million dollars to the peasants. To say the opposite, I believe, demeans the U. S. but not Celia Sanchez. (Rich Haney)

Some people have wanted to know where I reside: I'm in Santa Barbara, CA. For the moment I have abondoned my efforts to resurect my deep interest in Celia Sanchez (life gets in the way and I have other projects), however, as some of you may know there is a video on her, which I have, in Spanish—"Celia" Layenda y Precencia. I have no idea where I got it from, but it is most interesting?
I continue to believe that Celia was the "women behind the man" and that both the revolution and the strides that Cuba did make were directly a result of Celia's efforts and closeness to Fidel. History always focuses on "the man" in most cases, but usually there is a force behind him (except George Bush—where any force wouldn't help him!).

Celia was his concubine,but other than Raul, she was by far the most trusted individual in el jefes inner circle. It is said that after Celias death Fidel went in to months of depressionand was not seen in public nearly as much
they were deeply in love with each other and that translated into their love and passion for cuba.she was also like a mother to him,and the other revolutionaries-ofcourse she was older by about 6 years and more matured than fidel.celia was the engine room of the revolution,fidel only brought the candle but celia lit the flame and kept it burning.she was like the evita of cuba although celia was closer to the grassroot.she was beautiful and like haydee and vilma must be respected even in death.they were faithful in politics and love.they stuck to love through thick and thin.little wonder fidel went through a depression when celia died.THE REVOLUTION DIED WHEN CELIA DIED.
With all due respect frank , the revolution did not die with Celia. Just watch Cuban TV , read the billboards , and watch Minint on the streets, it is with them 24/7
The "revolution" may have been adjusted , refined,updated, hijacked , corrupted, redefined, manipulated .... or any number of words you can use. But the end result is, and there is no getting around this reality for the people, the Cubans live with the "revolution" every day of their life. It is still very much alive.
thanks for your comments mako,perhaps i was a bit overdramatic when i said the revolution died with celia.that stems from the fact that i have digested every information about celia that i could in the last 10 years. but with all due respect the revolution is not in billboards,tv screens but in the heart.what do the cuban people whisper to each other when the cameras are not rolling?i know celia is still in the heart of most cubans 20 years after her death but is the revolution still in their heart?after all the satanic sanctions against the cuban people(not the leaders but the people) coupled with the demise of the soviet union.my hope is that whatever ideology cuba decides to follow in the future it should be maintained on the core grassroots 'ideology' of the early days of the revolution-freedom,justice,anti-corruption,education,health,shelter.that was celia's dream for cuba and that is my prayer for cuba and Africa where i come from.
please correct the 20 years i typed to 28 years.celia died in 1980.it was a typographical error.no historical fact about this great woman must be distorted!
She was a very courageous woman. And I agree with you, had she lived , the revolution might have taken a very different course. Where are you from in Africa frank? I spent a month there earlier this year
yes,she was courageous.the rebels in sierra miestra couldnt have survived without women like haydee and celia.che needed a celia to have overcome the difficulties and the intrigues he faced in bolivia,sandwiched between the CIA and KGB.only a woman like Celia could have overcome those two monsters.i am from nigeria and although i am male,like celia i believe women need to be more assertive in enforcing their rights.in the past we had great heroines like queen amina and funmi kuti.i think winnie also deserves a place in history too despite her shortcomings as she contributed immensely to the fall of apartheid in south africa.they dont have to carry arms like celia(i dont pray for war anywhere in the world as i fought in two of africa's most brutal civil wars-liberia & sierra leone and war is hell.i have completed a book on conflicts in africa and will publish next year).they can fight in the battle field of politics,bizness,science,education and agriculture etc,those are the only battlefields left.hope your trip to africa was eventful mako?where are you from also please?

i am also aware celia died of cancer or perhaps you were reffering to haydee.as an amendment to my comment in 23,where i said che needed a strong woman like celia to have succeeded in bolivia i wish to say that che had a strong and brave woman,the vivacious and extraordinary tamara bunke aka TANIA.tania was strong and gave up all including her youthful life. like celia she was great.
I can't remember in which country I read about the suicide story ( CIA fabrication ?)- short reference.
It bothered me for a long time until I thought of http://www.google.com yesterday and was relieved that it was not a conflict with Fidel but still saddened by her early exit.
celia sanchez is strongly believed to have died of cancer.

Yes , everything I have read says cancer. She was reportedly a heavy cigarette smoker
sure, i know she smoked cigarettes heavilly but i can not say if it was the 'habit' that gave her the cancer that killed her.but she lived to the 'young' old age of 60.

I was in Cuba this January and happened to be at Celia Sanchez' grave on the anniversary of her passing.Needless to say,she is still very much loved and respected and not just by Cubans.My being there was in no small part due to Mr Haney's book.Of course I was familiar with Celia's life and history before his book but in rather more general terms - from, shall we say, overviews of the Cuban Revolucion.
In the absence of other books specifically about Celia Sanchez I would say that Mr Haney's book is an essential read for anyone with any interest in Cuba post 1953.But I would also suggest that there is so much more to be written on Celia.So I am glad to read here that some people are or have considered writing such a thing.I encourage you to continue.I ask,is anyone still working on or considering such a project?
I believe it's long overdue.Essential to such a tome would be Fidel's contribution if that were possible.Perhaps it would and could be possible now that his circumstances have changed.If an author could let Fidel see that they were writing with due respect he might talk of the subject now whereas he has not done so before.Please note his comment on biograpies in his "Thought Of Fidel" dated March 6, 2009.
For those that have not been fortunate enough to visit Cuba,Celia's childhood home in Media Luna is now a museum with many interesting and beautiful exhibits.On the day I was there I noted with interest that young children visit the museum on school day-trips.These children seem to be genuinely interested in the lady who's (former) house they are visiting.I noted that some kids had seperated from the main group and were really into what they were experiencing…...they were not trying to avoid the teachers or the subject.What a fitting tribute to such a woman.(?)
Also in Media Luna is Parque Celia Sanchez which has a very beautiful and
lifelike statue of her.A wonderful place to sit for a while if you happen by…..
I would love to give the world the next definitive book on Celia Sanchez,a book that I think the world would benefit from having.Alas,I am no journalist or investigator.Again,I salute and encourage someone…..anyone who can write it…...and I'd like to know if someone still is…......

I hope that at least one biography of this remarkable woman will be written by someone who neither loves nor hates Celia Sanchez Manduley, but who is determined to paint as complete and accurate a portrait of her as possible. Injustice often begets compensatory injustice, and it is critically important to understand the motives, successes, failures and legacies of people like her.

Has anyone seen the letter written by Fidel Castro to Celia Sanchez, 5 June 1958, that Carlos Franqui reproduces in his Diary of the Cuban Revolution, pp. 337-38.
The letter contains the well-known statement about the destruction caused by U.S. weapons supplied to Batista's forces and that "the Americans are going to pay dearly for what they're doing. When this war is over…I'm going to fight against them. I realize that will be my true destiny."
Since 1976, when Franqui's book was published, this statement has frequently been quoted, but always with a footnote to Franqui, not the original.
Does anyone know if the original exists and where it might be?
Follow up post #37 added on May 29, 2011 by Rich_Haney
In reply to Schoultz, the original of the 5-June-1958 letter/note that Fidel wrote to Celia Sanchez is encased under glass at the Celia Sanchez Library Addendum in Havana. If you want to see a photo of the original (Fidel's writing in Spanish) Google the name "Celia Sanchez" and then hit "Images" and then scroll down till you see the letter/note on the right-hand side. Then hit the letter to enlarge it and you will see the original in Spanish as well as an English translation and a full explanation of why Fidel wrote Celia the letter/note—he was upset about the bombing of the shack of his peasant friend Mario Sanol. Another way to view the photo of the original, the explanation, etc., is to go directly to: http://cubajournal.blogspot.com/2008/06/fifty-years-ago-historical-letter-of.html. (Rich Haney)
I inadvertently hit "no more e-mails" but you can reverse that because I do enjoy receiving comments and/or questions pertaining to Celia Sanchez. (Rich Haney)

As an update: I moved from Santa Barbara, CA to Naples, Florida. And, somehow, this whole Cuba and Celia journey has crept back in to my mind. Perhaps, it is because I am now much nearer Cuba. I pray the policies change soon regarding travel, etc. The older I get, I think the only way I'll get to Cuba without a big hassel is to die and let my soul pass through there on its way to Ireland where it also must touch down.

Welcome to our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. Today we have a very special real life story to share with you, that means a lot to us. We have been rescuing animals for decades, and this is one of our most inspiring rescues. Today is day 6 of the HAPPY outcome rescue.
Baby today, giving herself a tickle scratch.
Two weeks ago mom, Michele saw one of our mother Kangaroos with an injured hind leg and a baby joey in her pouch. Although we searched every day, it was a week before we relocated her. It was now Friday afternoon and a full force cyclone was about to hit, within hours. The mom had a broken hind leg which could not be repaired, so we called for urgent help to euthanize her. It had just gone dark when the RSPCA Inspector arrived with the dart gun, and it was now raining.
Six days ago: Baby, the morning after her mom was euthanzied, in cyclonic torrential rain.
After a team of three Kangaroo vets examined photos of the baby, they unanimously decided she would die of stress illness, called myopothy, if she was brought into care. So we mom, Michele, had a baby joey out in the open with no mom, no pouch to take cover in, and no milk; in a full force cyclone with hammering torrential rain for 24 hours. Mom Michele spent hours out in the rain, morning, noon and night, observing and worried sick for the distressed baby who continued to scream stress calls for his mom. Thankfully, she survived the cyclone!
Day 2) the baby girl tried to team up with some bachelor teenager boy Kangaroos, but they didn't want her cramping their style, so she went back to her tree and screamed for mom. We were very sad and worried for her.
A young bachelor trying to dump the needy baby. The baby then started screaming stress calls for his mom, ran back to the tree where she was euthanized, screamed (heartbreaking), and freaked out and took off like a lightening bolt, so fast I lost sight of him.
Day 3) she moved to a different location and gate crashed a "mob" (group) of Kangaroos, and we watched as she lay her head down and went to sleep, probably for the first time for days (below.) We were so thankful the mob let her stay with them.
Baby takes her first sleep in days, after gatecrashing a mob of other Kangaroos.
Day 4) Kangaroos live in "mobs" and daughter kangaroos never leave home and stay with the mob for life. Mother Kangaroos set up "baby nurseries" so one mother watches them while the other mothers get time off. GUESS WHO WAS IN THE NURSERY? Her! And she was now eating grass. She's the little one in the middle. We were thankful a thousand times over!
Baby is in the nursery! She's the little one in the middle.
Baby with her new friend, in the mob.
The Alpha male, boss of the mob, who stands about 7 foot tall.
Oh what a sad, but wonderful story! I hope the baby gets to stay with it's new mob!!
Sad but the best outcome and thanks for helping the little one out!
We are thrilled the baby roo survived and found a "family" to protect her.

Alumna Kelly Corcoran at the Intersection of New Music and Community Engagement
May 30, 2018 Annette Fantasia
Alumna Kelly Corcoran is the founder and artistic director of Intersection, a contemporary music ensemble with an emphasis on social justice, racial equity, and cross-cultural engagement, based in Nashville, Tennessee.

What does a career in classical music look like in 2018? For alumna Kelly Corcoran (B.M. '99, voice), it means pursuing unexpected paths, having both an entrepreneurial and community engagement inclination, and continually asking how one's work is relevant to the world today. This approach has made for a rich and varied career for the Springfield, Massachusetts native—from conducting the Nashville Symphony, to traveling around the world with the National Geographic Symphony, to spearheading a number of impactful community and music education initiatives.
Corcoran, who returned to the Conservatory twice this spring to conduct both the Conservatory's contemporary classical music ensemble, contraBAND, and the Boston Conservatory Wind Ensemble, is the founder and artistic director of Intersection, a contemporary music ensemble based in Nashville, Tennessee. With an emphasis on social justice, racial equity, and cross-cultural engagement, Intersection was born out of her desire to use music as a tool to positively impact her community and make classical music accessible to all. "As someone who didn't come from a family that engaged much with classical music," Corcoran explains, "I always felt a desire to make this music meaningful and accessible to people who might not have a previous relationship with it."
Corcoran's zeal for exploring diverse creative outlets flourished during her time at the Conservatory. Although she graduated from the school with a B.M. in voice, Corcoran began gravitating towards conducting in her junior year. She cites the Conservatory's environment—a small, multiarts community where she felt free explore paths outside of voice—as critical to discovering this passion. "I took courses outside my major, like tap and string techniques, because I was hungry for all the resources the Conservatory had to offer. I honestly don't think I would have gotten this anywhere else," she says.
While studying voice under Sara Goldstein, she took private conducting lessons on campus and first stepped onto the podium to conduct a Boston Conservatory Orchestra rehearsal. Corcoran, who has "always had an inclination to engage with [her] community," says that the communal aspect of working with an ensemble is what drew her to conducting. "As conductor, you rely on your colleagues, the musicians, to help create a shared vision. As the one who is leading that process, you're hopefully creating an environment where people can feel engaged as part of this organism. Conducting is really a microcosm of being an individual within a larger social setting," she notes.
With this community-minded spirit, it comes as no surprise that she thrived in the Conservatory's unique social and cultural setting. Corcoran recalls being continually inspired by both the range of artists from the school's three divisions and residing steps away from Symphony Hall, the home of the world-class Boston Symphony Orchestra, with whom she later performed as part of the renowned Tanglewood Chorus. "As a girl from Western Massachusetts, I had never had exposure to an orchestra like that before, she says. "Being on stage with the Boston Symphony Orchestra was life changing." She further explains that having "access to the resources of Boston and the Conservatory's supportive, cross-disciplinary environment" was key to putting her on a dynamic career path.
Although Corcoran maintains a strong affection for Boston and her Massachusetts roots, in recent years, she has made a deep impact on Nashville's classical and contemporary classical scene. Prior to founding Intersection, she spent nine years with the Nashville Symphony, both as associate conductor and as director of the Symphony Chorus. Corcoran also founded the Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra, and, in 2015, was named Best Classical Conductor by the Nashville Scene.
Her tenure at the Nashville Symphony cemented her passion for contemporary music and collaborating with living composers. "As a conductor, one of the greatest things you can do is find a composer and champion their works," she says. Among those composers is Conservatory Chair of Composition, Contemporary Music, and Core Studies Jonathan Bailey Holland, who was commissioned by Corcoran and Intersection to create I Too Sing, a new work that explores issues of race and youth, which premiered in January in Nashville. Corcoran's advice for aspiring conductors is "to find composers that you believe in and whose music speaks to you, and champion that music. They need you and you need them."
Corcoran is proud of the Conservatory's commitment to training students in contemporary music, which, she notes, "they can't get everywhere." And for Corcoran, embracing new music goes hand in hand with the civic aspect of her work. "I came from a family, school, and community where service was valued and a responsibility—and that has carried into my work as an artist," says Corcoran. "Every time I'm putting together a concert, I ask, "How does my work connect? Why does this matter?"

Lace trim adds a delicate and feminine touch to any craft project. No matter how you plan to use it, sewing lace isn't as tricky as you might think.
1) When applying lace edging to a fabric or garment, make sure that the hem has a finished edge.
2) Pin your lace along the very edge of the fabric with approximately a three-millimeter overlap.
3) Sew in place with a narrow zigzag stitch. If you're sewing an elasticized edge, make sure you stretch the elastic while sewing.
That's it — we told you it was easy! Now for a little inspiration on where you can sew your lace.
Add a bit of lace ribbon to the hem of your favorite pair of denim shorts OR fill in those rips and holes with colored lace for a major fashion statement.
Transform that plain, boring dress at the back of your closet into a boho chic ensemble by stitching some cotton crochet lace trim around the cuffs, hem, and waist.
Sticking with the boho theme, hot glue that same cotton crochet lace or a pretty lace ribbon to a skinny belt or bracelet to add a fancy finishing touch to your outfit.
We love all things burlap, but we love them even more with a layer of lace on top! Lace edging on wide burlap fabric makes a great table runner for your next dinner party. Or, try wrapping burlap and lace around a mason jar filled with wildflowers for a stylish down-home centerpiece.
Use lace to turn a boring Tuesday dinner into an elegant dining experience by sewing your favorite lace around cloth napkins and placemats. Use mismatched (but color-coordinated) patterns and colors for a twist.
You'll have sweet dreams every night when you lay your head on a lace-trimmed pillow! Try an all-white color scheme or a floral printed pillowcase with a matching trim of lace.
Sometimes your drapes just need a lift. Whether you add a lace trim around the edges or simply use a wide lace ribbon to tie them back, a dressed-up curtain will add elegance to any living room or bedroom.
There are so many ways to embellish a purse with lace — but here are a few of our favorite ideas. Cover the flap of your favorite purse with Barbie lace for an instant statement piece. A simple drawstring bag will look great with a layer of lace gathered up around the top, too!
Glue or sew lace around the covers of a set of old books from the flea market. Then, tie a pretty lace bow around the stack for a sweet bookshelf decoration. Top it off with a vase of fresh flowers.
If you're looking for a no-sew option, there's always lace ribbon tape. This handy tape is perfect for handmade cards, gift wrapping, or embellishing pretty much anything!
Now you have all the lace knowledge you need to make your craft projects come to life. Check out our selection of ribbons and lace for everything you need to get going!


There's a fine line between a restaurant with a respectable bar and a bar with respectable food. Bite chooses not to define the line, and the resulting blur defines the Bite experience.
It's an experience defined by the limitations of a two-person service crew, one of them a bartender, the other a waiter. Two people to serve a whole restaurant, even a modest one with eight or so tables and a handful of barstools, leaves little things unattended when the place starts to fill up.
Define "we," "still" and "OK," and we'll go from there. There was no snarky edge to it, just benign neglect, the kind that left customers to pour their own wine and use the same silverware from course to course. That's fine for a bar, less so for a restaurant where two people can easily drop $100-plus for dinner.
Quick bite: Small plates with French, Spanish and South American influences in a hybrid fine-dining and cocktail-bar setting punctuated by pop art.
Hours: 5-10 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday. 5-11 p.m. Friday. 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and 5-11 p.m. Saturday. 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Sunday.
Price range: Appetizers, $9-$18; entrees, $16-$28; desserts, $8-$10.
On the positive side, the Bite experience is also defined by a stylistic tone that suggests the '60s and '70s conspired to blitz the new millennium. You can't escape the pop art, not the Roy Lichtenstein blonde comic-book knockoff on the back wall, not the Warhol lampshades hugging the ceiling nor the UFO beehive lantern over the bar. Nor can you shake the dance beats that pulse and burble overhead as a dude in a suit coat and flip flops takes the plastic barstool next to yours.
Is food served in a paper bag labeled "Dirty Undies" just a passing bar-food fancy? Or is it fancy food in bar drag? In the kitchen of chef and owner Lisa Astorga-Watel, it's both. In fact, "Ropa Sucia" — "dirty laundry" — undersells itself with the description "seafood and sausage papillote." It's practically a cream-sauce cioppino, a steaming collection of clams, lobster, sausage, shrimp and fish with vegetables. Presentation and all, it's exactly the kind of pop-art alchemy I'd hope for in a place like this.
There's a touch of the artist, too, in an eggplant waffle with a custard-like density smothered in mushrooms, and a dessert of housemade gelato using the South American fruit called lúcuma, which lends a taste like butterscotch candy.
Less artsy but no less successful came duck with olives, somehow lean and pull-apart tender at the same time, with olives to deepen the flavors to an earthy medium. Served with spinach risotto for $16, it represents the kind of value that Bite is shooting for with its modestly sized plates, a value it nails squarely with an $18 two-bone lamb chop crusted with garlic and breadcrumbs, a full meal that includes vegetables and a casserole-style slice of potatoes au gratin.
But the Bite experience is also defined by spotty ventilation that fills the compact space with cooking odors that settle on hair and clothes like grease-scented candles. One source of the scent? A "Lamb Cigar" like a high-tone Crispy Dog from Ray's Drive Inn, this one with underspiced ground lamb in a fried eggroll wrapper. I'd applaud the novelty, but surely there's a way to add texture and style without so much grease.
I also expected more from Bite's $22 churrasco, which offered little beyond the skewer of grilled steak, bell peppers and onions a home cook could pull off. And a dish of broiled escargot brought nothing new to the familiar formula of butter, garlic and breadcrumbs. For all the promise of octopus carpaccio, it came out more like chewy deli slices of indeterminate seafood swamped by too much caper-red pepper relish.
Finally, in this landscape of blurred lines between swanky cocktail bar and serious sit-down restaurant, I wanted a bar experience consistent with my first, when a senior bartender turned out a solid rendition of the grandfather of pisco cocktails, Pisco Punch, with its spiny citrus undertones and a charming raspberry finish. On another night, a bartender painstakingly followed printed recipes to make cocktails that tasted like lessons from a bartenders' school.
By choosing not to make the choice between bar and restaurant, Bite has made the choice to be a fuzzy reproduction of the two forms that misses the chance to pull the whole experience into focus.


English slang that makes its way to Korea is random and often used incorrectly. Such as a street food vendor naming his stand #YOLO? Um, I don't want to "only live once" when eating meat on the street. Just sayin'.
No idea what copyright laws are like in Korea, but I see a lot of what I deem infringement here in Korea. Whether it be a copied business name, musical act, or celebrity… Something seems off –but many times, hilarious. Have you seen anything similar lately?
My students are constantly saying either hilarious or amazing things, so I'm going to start posting highlights here on a weekly basis. This week was...quite the week.
"Teacher! I'm shaking my sausage every day!"
"Me too teacher! I'm very long sausage!"
Someone had taught them the term "johnson" as well, so there were plenty such jokes as well. Another boy came up to me to ask "Teacher, what is 'Johnson'?" I managed to choke out, while trying to hide my laughter "It's...a boy has..."
"Ah, okay okay. Thank you teacher."
I accidentally wore burgundy tights and a red coat and an orangey scarf today, so the comments about my color choices were common. The best, though, happened during my last class of the day today.


(3) The connections made between the cards' sequence in the most popular Tarot deck in use today (Waite-Smith) and the events of the books are tenuous at best, with some exciting exceptions.
Those are pretty damning reservations, but they are all about the current state of this idea not the core of the theory, which is that Ms. Rowling is using imagery from the Tarot in her books to show Harry's alchemical progress from lead to gold, fool to Enlightened Man/Emperor, and perhaps with other characters as well.
The connection between alchemy and the Tarot is not new ground. If Ms. Rowling has read "a ridiculous amount about Alchemy" to set the parameters of magic and internal logic of the series (as she said in 1998), she has almost certainly read Adam MacLean, the dean of Alchemy studies (at least online!). Mr. MacLean thinks that the Tarot probably derives from Alchemical images rather than from Kabbalah. There are even popular Tarot decks that are called Alchemical Decks.
The connection between alchemy and Tarogi is the Four Elements that are the heart of this Hermetic form of divination and the traditional science of personal transformation. The only book I know of that discusses this symbolism at some length is The Tarot: A Contemporary Course of the Quintessence of Hermetic Occultism by Mouni Sadhu — and I cannot recommend it like I would Titus Burckhardt, Eliade, or even Jung. If you check out "Tarotpedia" online (I kid you not), you'll find nine other books about alchemy and Tarot and the first book listed is by Aleister Crowley. We're in some dangerous waters here, however interesting and relevant the subject almost certainly is to understanding Ms. Rowling's work. Caveat lector.
(3) its pointing to a greater depth to The Tower drama than is evident in its "high place" in the story line.
Trelawney or P!Trelawney leaves little mystery that Ms. Rowling wants us to be thinking about the Waite-Smith Lightning Struck Tower card as we read that scene and BNMC is exploring this important connection. Three cheers for bnmc2007 and other readers thinking along these lines!
Post: A friend tells me there is already a Harry Potter Tarot Deck! I guess I'm very late to this topic.
We cannot forget the "hanged man pub" either!
It seems to me there are a few other instances where they play hangman to pass the time when bored, but I'm not sure that isn't just an impression I have.
In studying chess terms "to hang" means to leave a piece on the chess board hanging, ripe for capture by the other side.
If you do hang a piece on purpose it is a sacrifice of chess material. One such method is the king's knight gambit. That gambit is pretty much what happened in the chess game in book one.
If you "hang" a piece as a goof, that would be a blunder. A chess term for blunder is (tah dah!) howler.
Tying this back into to levicorpus, Ron was a hanged man. The hangman Tarot card is the card of a martyr. This matches the chess scenario in book one.
Also, on the alchemy thread on Leaky Cauldron, one of the members found references between alchemy and chess. I think it was called Enochian chess.


Wouldn't it be simple if we had a manual or guide to avoid certain situations when it pertains to our businesses? What if there was a way to avoid major money mistakes many entrepreneurs make that prevent them from generating massive wealth. Well, I'm here to tell you that there is and today we're spilling all the tea. Keep in mind that there is always someone who has previously been in your shoes. As I've mentioned in a previous blog post you don't have to reinvent the wheel when it pertains to your business and generating wealth. Learn from those who proceed you.
Today we're sharing nuggets from our money expert and certified tax account Amelia Thomas. Amelia's passions lie in assisting families with creating legacy building frameworks that will carry the family wealth forward for the next 200 years. She has a dedicated "money team" that includes attorneys, CPA's and other qualified professionals to ensure that one, cohesive strategy is implemented to grow and protect her client's assets.
Oftentimes we put so much focus on building wealth that we fail to implement a continuation plan. You can't build wealth without having a risk management plan in place. Your business will experience some form of setback. What will you have in place to combat mishaps? Select the appropriate legal entities to protect your assets.
The most critical mistake entrepreneurs make is not managing cash flow appropriately. It's important to manage your funds in a way that allows you to have the appropriate amount of liquidity to handle potential business setbacks. This is why it's vital to have a strong accounting team in place. This team should be prepared to combat any challenges and keep your business running successfully during adversity.
Most people don't aim too high and miss. They aim too low and hit the mark. You have to believe that you can actually do this. Like the famous quote says, "Shoot for the moon if not land on the stars." You should aim higher because if you continue to aim too low and you continue to just hit, you're not going to make a substantial amount of progress. So aim a little higher.
In conclusion, if your goal is to generate massive amounts of wealth it's going to take work. It takes work not only on your behalf, but it also takes work on behalf of your money team. Everyone needs to be working together to help you reach your goals.
This will require you to become more involved in your community and build important relationships, attend city council and county commission meetings become more active and engaged in business associations. Expand your network.

From table and chair rentals to linens and party tents to lighting and dance floors, find vendors who can provide everything you need. You can even rent a photo booth or cotton candy machine for your child's next birthday party!
Once you've chosen a venue, you'll want to determine the party rental supplies that you'll need. If you're planning an outdoor event, a tent rental is an excellent way to have an outdoor party while protecting against inclement weather. You can rent special flooring to create a dance floor. Depending on your venue, you may need tables, linens, chairs, and even chair covers. Coordinate your rentals with your event theme or colors scheme.
Party rentals can differ depending on the type of event or if the party is for kids or adults. Bounce house rentals are pretty common for kid's parties, while adults might opt for a margarita machine to impress guests. Wedding rentals can also vary. Wedding chair covers are a nice touch if you're renting chairs or don't like the chairs at your venue.
Before you approach a vendor, make a list of all the items you need to rent. This includes the specific items and quantities. You may consider renting more than you need, especially if you rent barware or place settings. Contact several party rental vendors to learn their selection and availability. Once you've selected a vendor, keep them updated as you get closer to your party in the event that quantities change.

La HMS Ajax fu la terza delle quattro corazzate dreadnought della classe King George V costruite dalla Royal Navy all'inizio degli anni '10.

Dopo l'entrata in servizio nel 1913, spese la maggior parte della sua carriera assegnata alla Home e Grand Fleet. Oltre alla partecipazione nella fallimentare spedizione per intercettare le navi tedesche che avevano bombardato Scarborough, Hartlepool e Whitby nel 1914, alla battaglia dello Jutland nel maggio 1916 e alla inconclusiva azione del 19 agosto seguente, il suo servizio durante la prima guerra mondiale consistette principalmente in pattugliamenti del Mare del Nord ed esercitazioni.

Dopo la guerra, la Ajax fu assegnata alla Mediterranean Fleet, con cui prese parte all'intervento alleato durante la guerra civile russa nel Mar Nero nel 1919-1920. La nave fu schierata nelle acque turche durante la crisi di Çanakkale nel settembre - ottobre 1922. L'Ajax fu posta in riserva nel 1924 prima di essere venduta per essere demolita due anni dopo secondo gli accordi del trattato navale di Washington.

Il nome della nave è preso da quello dell'eroe omerico Aiace, Ajax in inglese.

Disegno e descrizione
La classe King George V fu progettata come versione più grande e migliorata della precedente classe Orion. La Ajax ebbe una lunghezza fuoritutto di 181,1 m, un baglio massimo di 27,2 m e un'immersione di 8,7 m. Dislocava 25 9000 t con carico normale. L'equipaggio contava 869 tra ufficiali e marinai al completamento.

Le navi della classe King George V erano propulse da due set di turbine a vapore Parsons a innesto diretto, ognuno collegato a due alberi con relative eliche, che usavano il vapore creato dalle 18 caldaie a carbone Babcock & Wilcox. Le turbine, che sviluppavano 20 000 kWe, furono scelte per dare alle navi la velocità di . Durante le prove in mare del 12-13 maggio 1913 la Ajax raggiunse la velocità di 21,2 nodi da una potenza di 21 810 kW. Aveva un'autonomia di 6'310 miglia nautiche alla velocità di crociera di 10 nodi.

Corazzatura e armamento
Come la classe Orion, la classe King George V fu equipaggiata con 10 cannoni Mark V da 343 mm in 5 torrette binate idrauliche, tutte sull'asse di simmetria. Le torrette erano chiamate 'A', 'B', 'Q', 'X' e 'Y', da prua a poppa. L'armamento secondario consisteva in 16 cannoni Mark VII da 102 mm. Otto di questi erano montanti sul castello di prua, quattro sul cassero e quattro in casematte sul lato dello scafo davanti alla prima torretta a prua. Quattro cannoni da 47 mm a salve erano anche a bordo. La nave era equipaggiata anche con tre tubi lanciasiluri sommersi da 533 mm, uno su ogni fiancata e uno a poppa, con 14 siluri immagazzinati.

Le navi della classe King George V erano protette da una cintura corazzata al galleggiamento da 305 mm che si estendeva tra le barbette. I ponti variavano di spessore tra 25 e 102 mm con la porzione più spessa a protezione della timoneria a poppa. Le torrette principali erano spesse 279 mm e sostenute da barbette spesse 254 mm.

Modifiche
Un sistema di puntamento fu installato sul tetto della coffa di vedetta nel 1914, prima dell'inizio della guerra. L'originale albero di prua a palo fu rinforzato da montanti flangiati per renderlo più resistente e permettergli di sorreggere il peso del nuovo apparecchio. Nell'ottobre 1914 furono aggiunti un paio di cannoni antiaerei da 76 mm. Le reti anti-siluro furono rimosse nel 1915-1916. Approssimativamente 81 t di ponti corazzati furono aggiunti dopo la battaglia dello Jutland e fu aggiunto anche un telemetro per la media distanza sopra la torre di comando. Nello stesso periodo la nave fu modificata per usare un pallone aerostatico d'osservazione. Per l'aprile 1917 i cannoni da 102 mm nelle casematte nello scafo erano stati rimossi dato che erano frequentemente inutilizzabili a causa del mare mosso. Le casematte furono coperte e alcune parti furono usate come cuccette. Lo stesso anno la coffa di vedetta fu allargata e l'albero di prua fu cambiato con uno a tripode per resistere all'ulteriore peso. Il tubo lanciasiluri di poppa fu smontato nel 1917-1918 e catapulte per gli aerei furono montate sulle torrette 'B' e 'Q' nel 1918.

Costruzione e carriera
La Ajax, chiamata così dal nome inglese del eroe omerico Aiace, fu la quinta nave con questo nome ad entrare in servizio con la Royal Navy. Ordinata nel piano navale del 1910-1911, la nave fu impostata presso Scotts Shipbuilding & Engineering nel loro cantiere di Greenock il 27 febbraio 1911 e varata il 21 marzo 1912. Fu completata un anno dopo al costo di 1 889 387 £, ma non entrò in servizio fino al 31 ottobre 1913, unendosi alle sue navi gemelle nel 2nd Battle Squadron (BS). Tutte e quattro le navi della classe rappresentarono la Royal Navy durante le celebrazioni della riapertura del Canale di Kiel, tenutasi in concomitanza con la settimana di Kiel, a Kiel, in Germania, nel giugno 1914.

Prima guerra mondiale
Tra il 17 e il 20 luglio 1914, la Ajax prese parte ad un test di mobilitazione e rivista della flotta come parte della risposta britannica alla crisi di luglio. Arrivò a Portland il 25 luglio e le fu ordinato di procedere con il resto della flotta verso Scapa Flow quattro giorni dopo per salvaguardare la flotta de un possibile attacco a sorpresa tedesco. Nell'agosto 1914, dopo lo scoppio della guerra, la Home Fleet fu riorganizzata col nuovo nome di Grand Fleet e posta sotto il comando dell'ammiraglio Sir John Jellicoe. Mente svolgeva degli esercizi d'addestramento qualche settimana dopo, la nave ebbe dei problemi con una delle torrette dovette tornare a Scapa per la riparazione. Agli inizi di ottobre la nave iniziò un breve raddobbo presso il HM Dockyard di Devonport.

Ripetute segnalazioni di sottomarini a Scapa Flow portarono Jellicoe a concludere che le difese erano inadeguate e ordinò alla Grand Fleet di dividersi sulle altre basi fino a quando la difesa non fosse stata rinforzata. Il 16 ottobre il 2nd BS fu spedito a Loch na Keal sulla costa occidentale della Scozia. La squadra partì per addestramento con l'artiglieria davanti alla costa nord dell'Irlanda la mattina del 27 ottobre e la dreadnought Audacious colpì una mina, posata pochi giorni prima dal posamine ausiliario tedesco SS Berlin. Pensando che la nave fosse stata silurata da un sottomarino le altre corazzate, inclusa la Ajax, furono fatte allontanare dall'area, mentre le navi più piccole prestarono soccorso alla Audacious. La sera del 22 novembre 1914 la Grand Fleet condusse un'infruttuoso pattugliamento nella parte meridionale del Mare del Nord. La Ajax era nel corpo principale a supporto della Prima Squadra Incrociatori da Battaglia del viceammiraglio David Beatty. La flotta ritornò in porto a Scapa Flow per il 27 novembre.

Il transatlantico tedesco internato SS Kronprinzessin Cecilie, rinominato HMS Princess, servì come bersaglio per la Ajax dal 1 novembre 1914 fino al 9 gennaio 1916, quando il transatlantico fu convertito in un incrociatore mercantile armato. Fu basato a Loch Ewe, sulla costa occidentale della Scozia, e pattugliò l'Atlantico.

Bombardamento di Scarborough, Hartlepool e Whitby

La Room 40 della Royal Navy intercettò e decrittò il traffico radio tedesco che conteneva i piani per un attacco tedesco a Scarborough, Hartlepool e Whitby a metà dicembre usando quattro incrociatori da battaglia del I Aufklärungsgruppe del contrammiraglio Franz von Hipper. Il messaggio radio non menzionava che la Hochseeflotte con quattordici dreadnought e otto pre-dreadnought avrebbe rinforzato il gruppo di Hipper. Le navi di entrambi gli schieramenti lasciarono le rispettive basi il 15 dicembre, con i britannici che intendevano tendere un'imboscata ai tedeschi sulla strada del ritorno. Furono radunate le sei corazzate del 2nd BS ai comandi del viceammiraglio Sir George Warrender, incluso la Ajax e le gemelle King George V e Centurion, che furono nel corpo centrale in supporto ai quattro incrociatori di Beatty. Mentre il 2nd BS stava lasciando Scapa Flow nel buio, la Ajax ebbe una collisione con un peschereccio, ma non ebbe alcun danno significativo.

Le forze elusive di entrambi gli schieramenti si incontrarono nell'oscurità del primo mattino del 16 dicembre, con il brutto tempo. I Tedeschi ebbero la meglio nel primo scontro a fuoco, danneggiando seriamente alcuni cacciatorpediniere britannici, ma l'ammiraglio Friedrich von Ingenohl, comandante della Hochseeflotte, ordinò alle due navi di invertire la rotta, spaventato da un possibile attacco di massa dei cacciatorpediniere nemici alle luci dell'alba. Una serie di comunicazioni errate ed errori degli inglesi permisero alle navi di Hipper di evitare l'ingaggio con le forze di Beatty.

1915–1916
Le navi di Jellicoe, inclusa lAjax, condussero addestramenti di artiglieria tra il 10 e il 13 gennaio 1915 a ovest delle Orcadi e delle Shetland. La sera del 23 gennaio il nerbo della Grand Fleet partì in supporto degli incrociatori di Beatty, ma l'Ajax e il resto della flotta non partecipò alla seguente battaglia di Dogger Bank il giorno dopo. Dal 7 al 10 marzo, la Grand Fleet condusse una sortita nel Mare del Nord settentrionale, durante la quale condusse manovre d'allenamento. Un'altra crociera simile si svolse tra il 16 e il 19 marzo. L'11 aprile la Grand Fleet condusse un pattugliamento del Mare del Nord centrale e ritornò in porto il 14 aprile. Un altro pattugliamento dell'area si svolse tra il 17 e il 19 aprile, seguito da prove d'artiglieria davanti alle Shetland il 20 e 21 dello stesso mese.

La Grand Fleet condusse sortite nel Mare del Nord centrale tra il 17 e il 19 maggio e tra il 29 e il 31 dello stesso mese senza incontrare alcuna nave tedesca. Tra l'11 e il 14 giugno la flotta condusse prove di tiro ed esercizi di battaglia a ovest della Shetland e un altro addestramento iniziò davanti allo stesso arcipelago l'11 luglio. Il 2nd BS fece pratica di tiro nel Moray Firth il 2 agosto e ritornò poi a Scapa Flow. Tra il 2 e il 5 settembre la fotta effettuò un'altra sortita nel Mare del Nord settentrionale e fece pratica con l'artiglieria. Durante il resto del mese la Grand Fleet condusse numerosi esercizi di allenamento. La nave, insieme alla maggior parte della flotta, svolse un'altra missione nel Mare del Nord tra il 13 e il 15 ottobre. Quasi tre settimane dopo, la Ajax partecipò ad un'altra esercitazione di flotta a ovest delle Orcadi tra il 2 e il 5 novembre e ripeté l'esercizio all'inizio di dicembre.

La Grand Fleet effettuò una sortita in risposta ad un attacco navale tedesco contro forze britanniche leggere nella zona del Dogger Bank il 10 febbraio 1916, ma fu richiamata quando due giorni dopo si scoprì che nessuna nave tedesca più grossa di un cacciatorpediniere era stata nell'area. La flotta partì per una crociera nel Mare del Nord il 26 febbraio. Jellicoe pensava di utilizzare la Harwich Force per setacciare la baia di Helgoland, ma il maltempo bloccò le operazioni in quell'area. Come risultato l'azione fu confinata alla parte n. Un'altra ricerca iniziò il 6 marzo ma dovette essere abbandonata il giorno seguente dato che il tempo stava diventando troppo gravoso per i cacciatorpediniere di scorta. La notte del 25 marzo la Ajax e il resto della flotta partirono da Scapa Flow in supporto agli incrociatori da battaglia di Beatty ed altre forze leggere che stavano attaccando la base tedesca di Zeppelin di Tønder. Per quando arrivò la Grand Fleet, il 26 marzo, le forze britanniche e tedesche erano già disingaggiate e una forte burrasca metteva in pericolo le navi minori, quindi la flotta ritornò a casa. Il 21 aprile, la Grand Fleet condusse una dimostrazione davanti a Horns Rev per distrarre i Tedeschi mentre la Marina Imperiale Russa posava i suoi campi minati difensivi nel Baltico. La flotta ritornò a Scapa Flow il 24 aprile e fece rifornimento prima di procedere a sud in risposta ai rapporti dell'intelligence che i Tedeschi stessero per attaccare Lowestoft, ma arrivarono nell'area dopo che i Tedeschi l'avevano già abbandonata. Dal 2 al 4 maggio, la flotta condusse un'altra dimostrazione davanti a Horns Rev per mantenere i tedeschi concentrati sul Mare del Nord.

 Battaglia dello Jutland

In un tentativo di distruggere una porzione della Grand Fleet, la Hochseeflotte, composta da sedici dreadnought, sei pre-dreadnought e varie navi di supporto, partì dalla baia di Jade la mattina del 31 maggio. La flotta navigava con i cinque incrociatori di Hipper. La Room 40 aveva intercettato e decrittato il traffico radio tedesco contenente i piani dell'operazione. In risposta, l'Ammiragliato ordinò alla Grand Fleet, 28 dreadnought e 9 incrociatori in totale, di lasciare il porto di notte per tagliare la strada alla flotta teutonica.

Il 31 maggio, la Ajax, sotto il comando del capitano George Baird, fu la seconda nave dalla testa della linea di battaglia dopo lo schieramento. Sparò una bordata di sei proiettili verso gli incrociatori da battaglia nemici del I Aufklärungsgruppe poco dopo le 19:00 ma dovette subito cessare il fuoco a causa della visuale oscurata dalle navi del 4th Light Cruiser Squadron. Quella fu l'unica volta che usò i cannoni in battaglia.

 Attività seguente
La Grand Fleet effettuò una sortita il 18 agosto per tendere un'imboscata alla flotta d'alto mare tedesca mentre navigava nel Mare del Nord meridionale, ma una serie di comunicazioni errate ed errori bloccarono Jellicoe dall'intercettare la flotta tedesca prima che potesse ritornare in porto. Due incrociatori leggeri furono affondati da U-Boot tedeschi durante le operazioni spingendo Jellicoe a decidere di non rischiare ulteriormente le unità maggiori andando più a sud di 55° 30' N a causa dell'alto numero di sottomarini e mine tedesche. L'Ammiragliato concluse e decise che la Grand Fleet non sarebbe più sortita se non in caso di invasione tedesca della Gran Bretagna o se ci fosse stata un'alta possibilità di ingaggiare il nemico con condizioni favorevoli.

Nell'aprile 1918 la Hochseeflotte lasciò di nuovo il porto per attaccare i convogli britannici verso la Norvegia. Mantennero il silenzio radio durante tutta l'operazione, fatto che impedì ai crittoanalisti della Room 40 di allertare il nuovo comandante in capo della Grand Fleet, l'ammiraglio Beatty. I Britannici seppero dell'uscita solo quando un incidente sull'incrociatore SMS Moltke obbligò la nave a rompere il silenzio radio per informare il comando tedesco della sua condizione. Beatty allora ordinò alla Grand Fleet di prendere il mare per intercettare i Tedeschi, ma non fu capace di raggiungerli prima che ritornassero in Germania. L'Ajax era presente a Rosyth, in Scozia, quando la Hochseeflotte si arrese il 21 novembre.

Per il 18 luglio 1919, l'Ajax era stata assegnata al 4th Battle Squadron della Mediterranean Fleet e fu raddobbata a Malta. Nel febbraio 1920 assistette all'evacuazione di Odessa, in Russia, e ritornò a Costantinopoli, in Turchia, il 12 febbraio. Il viceammiraglio Sir John de Robeck, comandante in capo della Mediterranean Fleet, issò la sua bandiera sull'''Ajax il 18 aprile e la nave salpò alla volta del Caucaso per permettergli di investigare sulla situazione dovuta all'avanzata dei bolscevichi. Dopo il suo arrivo due giorni dopo, la nave bombardò brevemente alcune posizioni bolsceviche vicino a Sochi prima di arrivare nuovamente a Costantinopoli il 25 aprile. All'inizio di giugno l'Ajax era a Sebastopoli, anche se fu a Batumi, in Georgia, per il 22 giugno, dove rimase fino al 9 luglio per coprire l'evacuazione della città svolta dalle forze bianche.

De Robeck issò la sua bandiera nuovamente sull'Ajax nel febbraio 1921 quando viaggiò da Malta a Smyrne, Costantinopoli e Lemno prima che la nave tornasse a Malta alla fine del mese. Durante la crisi di Çanakkale le fu ordinato di raggiungere Smyrne nel settembre 1922, insieme a quasi tutta la Mediterranean Fleet. Dopo che l'armistizio di Mudanya pose fine alla crisi, l'Ajax procedette verso Malta per un raddobbo. Quando l'ultimo sultano dell'Impero Ottomano, Abdulmejid II, fu deposto nel 1923, fu portato a La Mecca a bordo dell'Ajax. La nave ritornò a Devonport nell'aprile 1924 e fu posta in riserva. Fu disarmata e posta sulla lista di vendita nell'ottobre 1926 secondo le restrizioni sul tonnellaggio del trattato navale di Washington. Il 10 dicembre lAjax fu venduta all'Alloa Shipbreaking Company e arrivò a Rosyth quattro giorni dopo per essere demolita.

If an update was fully downloaded, but interrupted during verification, then don't redownload.
