Paris show 2012: Ford may make single-seat road car
Ford is considering a limited production run of road-legal Formula Fords, similar to the model which recently ran at the Nürburgring
A road-legal Formula Ford recently set a 7m22s lap at the Nürburgring

A road-legal Formula Ford single seater is under consideration, a company spokesman has told Autocar.
Speaking at the Paris motor show, such a car would be produced as part of a strictly limited run of between 20 and 40 cars and powered by a 1.0-litre three-cylinder Ecoboost engine.
A road-legal Formula Ford recently set the 11th fastest-ever lap at the Nürburgring, beating cars such as the Pagani Zonda and Lamborghini Aventador. A production version would be similar, but would produce around 160bhp, not the 205bhp of the Nürburgring car.
The Ford spokesman said a road-legal Formula Ford car could cost "under £50k" ready for both road and track. Discussions are proceeding "positively".

????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doesn't matter, like the Ariel Atom, i've never seen one in the metal on the public highway,this, will be even rarer.

Ive seen a few Atoms,
Ive seen a few Atoms, including one on a motorway with a guy dressed all in white which raised a smile.
I have never understood why big car companies havent got behind something like this. If a tiny company like Ariel or Caterham can turn profit on these type of cars, surely Ford can. Plus some people would buy them with more confidence due to the manufacture backing.
Although I'd rather have a 2.0VTEC than a 1.0 Ecoboost anyday.
A good idea?
Yes, maybe Car makers should look at this kind of car, but not at £50K+, most of us need that kind of cash to live,half that amount would be feasable,of course, i can't see the Wife or girlfriend happily waving them off to work in one though, can you?
Less than £50k...
To be fair to Ford, they did say that a road-going FFord would cost "under £50k" - which makes sense, given a complete FFord isn't that much in the first place. Admittedly there'll probably be engineering changes for type approval and so on, but I think they're probably allowing themselves some breathing space with that estimate.
If they do build it, then if I had the money I'd definitely buy one. Sod practicality, you have to live a little sometimes...
I wonder how much it would
I wonder how much it would cost to pick up a decent ex race Forumla Ford car and do the conversion yourself?
Now I know this one is a 1600 and it isn't brand new but.........

Wyoming Ave. Baptist Church is located at the very north end of North Philadelphia in a relatively small neighborhood called Feltonville. Always a lower-to-middle class neighorhood, Feltonville has seen waves of change as the city itself changes — from early large populations of ethnic Germans and Jews, to the current growth of the Puerto Rican community, Feltonville is in many ways a microcosm of the changing face of America.
We recognize that the gospel not only does not respect ethnic boundaries — but that Christ compels us to work towards breaking down the walls that divide us. We are to live as One Body, working in our individual relationships and lives to mirror the love that Christ has for us.
Below is a short (and technical) demographic summary that provides some background on our community as of the 2000 Census.
45% of all residents classified themselves as Hispanic.
Of non-Hispanic residents, 23% are Black, 15% White, 10% are Asian.
About 31% of all residents are school children age 3 – grade 12.
Of those age 25 and over, only about half have graduated from high school.
Over 25% of all families and nearly 33% of individuals live below the poverty level.
Half of all families made less than $26,300 per year.
Nearly half (45%) of residents classified themselves as "Hispanic." Of the non-Hispanic residents, 23% are African American, 15% are White and 10% are Asian. 6% are two or more races. Our "focus area" (see map) contains a little over 8,600 people in total.
Of the residents over 25 years of age, nearly half have not graduated from high school. Only 10% of the residents have achieved any post high school degree, such as an associate, bachelor's or graduate or professional degree. The number of students in college or graduate school is fairly low, but children age 3 to grade 12 represent nearly a third of the total population of our neighborhood.
Over a quarter of all families and nearly a third of all individuals in our area were below the poverty level in 1999. Half of all families in our area earned less than $26,300 per year. Only 15% of all families took in more than $50,000 per year.
In the neighborhood surrounding the church, the two notably dominant languages are English and Spanish. Though census data indicate that English is slightly more prominent, the two are roughly equal in usage. A small minority of the residents of the neighborhood speak other Indo-European languages, while another minority speak languages from Asia or the Pacific Islands.
The census data are further specified by recording the number of residents who speak English "less than very well." Roughly 30% of the residents in our neighborhood fall into this category, of which residents, about two thirds are native Spanish speakers.
These data suggest that the largest communication gap at present between our church and much of the surrounding community is the English–Spanish language barrier. About 20% of the people in our community speak Spanish primarily and English poorly.


Firstly, I should start this review by saying this is one of my favourite wraps, of those that I have had the pleasure of trying, and if I had £400 spare I'd have snapped this up (I'm not even sure if it's for sale after it's testing tour!). Boo stayed with us for a couple of weeks after the Northern Sling Exhibition before moving on to Slingdad Dom for more testing. The overall appearance of the wrap reminds me of the night sky, dark, with twinkles of different colours coming through which catch the light brilliantly, and Little Fellows' description – 'A wrap to remind us that even when times are dark, there is always colour and light waiting for us' – really speaks to me and reminds me of my ongoing journey with antenatal and postnatal depression. Little Fellows unique advancing twill weave gives it the stunning wavy design which travels the length of the wrap, adding another aspect of interest and beauty to the design.
As far as wrapping qualities go, I couldn't fault it. It is strong and supportive while also being cushiony on the shoulders, and easily carried 21 month old Reu's weight in both front and back carries. It moulded so naturally around us when we were wrapping that it was like a second skin, and held the carries brilliantly. There's enough stretch to wrap easily but not so much as to introduce too much give and lead to any sagging. This piece of Boo was just long enough for us to manage a ruck with knotless tibetan finnish, and the texture of the wrap held the knotless finish perfectly, grippy enough, without being difficult to pass through. I even managed a kangaroo carry (previously a nemesis carry as I have struggled with it), with Boo and again, it was a joy to use and held really well, as well as looking stunning. Little Fellows wraps come blunt ended which I'm not very used to (this is only the second blunt ended wrap I've used), but I didn't feel this was in any way a problem and because the wrap is so lovely and floppy, tying off was no problem, even with the full wrap width to pull through. At 61cm it could be considered a rather narrow wrap, but I didn't notice this when using it, and at no point felt like I was struggling for width. Reu much prefers being hands in when carried and there was plenty of width for the wrap to come up to the nape of his toddler neck.
You can probably tell I'm just a tad in love with this wrap (hint hint to hubby and family for Christmas 😉 ), but it was just such a joy to use. Really beautiful and subtle, and a true piece of woven art. It was fully supportive for my toddler, and would mould beautifully around even the smallest of babies. Massive thank you to Lisa at Little Fellows for letting us play with this beauty, and if you're in the market for a handwoven wrap, do give Little Fellows a visit as they have recently brought out a more affordable range in addition to their higher end range.
A lovely friend recently sent her beautiful hand woven Little Fellows wrap on holiday and I was lucky enough to host it for a couple of weeks. Let's Get Fizzical is a pebble weave pastel rainbow and is a silk blend. The pebble weave gives it a good texture, which counteracts any slipping you might anticipate from the high silk content. The colours are really rather gentle and shimmer as the light catches them, but aren't at all bland. Little Fellows wraps come with raw selvedges (the top and bottom rails aren't hemmed as there's no need with the hand weaving process), and blunt hemmed ends, rather than tapered.
I used Let's Get Fizzical for a few back carries during its stay, including a double hammock tied under bum, and a ruck tied at shoulder with candy cane chest belt. I found the wrap lovely to use, and thanks to the open style of the weave and the handwoven nature, it really moulded itself around 20 month old Reu and I. There was some stretch to the weave which helped it to mould so well, and a little slipping with the silk, but the weave texture helped to hold the wrap in place, and as long as I tightened properly strand by strand this wasn't a problem at all (and let's face it, all wraps do a better job if tightened carefully). Despite being quite a thin wrap and with the open weave, the silk added lots of strength and it was plenty strong enough for toddler Reu, even in single layer carries. So it would be a lovely airy wrap to use on a hot day, for a baby or toddler of any age. I even played horsey (I pretend to be a horse with Reu on my back and he tells me when to trot up and down the road), with Reu in a ruck, trotting up and down our road! Despite all the movement from me 'trotting' so much, and Reu jumping up and down with excitement, the wrap held well. I hadn't used a blunt ended wrap before and was curious as to how this would affect tying, but was pleasantly surprised that it didn't really feel any different to a tapered end, probably thanks to the looser weave structure. The candy cane chest belt was lovely and soft and didn't dig at all, which can sometimes happen with a thicker or tighter weaved wrap.
Overall, we really enjoyed our time with Let's Get Fizzical, especially how well it contoured around us, and how comfortable it was to use. It's a beautiful piece of art as well as a lovely way to carry your child and be close to them.
The picture bellow is blurred because I'm 'trotting' at the time!

Meet Spirit of Augsburg Award Winner Grace Kemmer Sulerud '58
Posted on October 4, 2018 October 4, 2018 by Kaia Chambers
Grace Kemmer Sulerud '58 has displayed faithful service to Augsburg University across her time as a graduate, librarian, faculty member, and alumna. She personifies Augsburg's deep sense of calling to humbly serve others in a variety of ways, with joyful dedication.
As a dedicated volunteer, her nominators say, "You will find her wherever an extra hand is needed."
Determined to gain a full education, Sulerud worked and saved money to go from her hometown, Williston, North Dakota, to Augsburg, as it was the college of the Lutheran Free Church. Sulerud's Augsburg education and excellent professors prompted her to experience life in the Twin Cities, exploring the state capitol and fine arts like symphony concerts and plays. She made lifelong friends and enjoyed being on the staff of the student newspaper, The Echo.
After graduating from Augsburg in 1958, she was an elementary librarian and junior high English teacher in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. From 1961 to 1964, she was an elementary librarian in U.S. Air Force Department of Defense Schools in Tokyo, Japan; Tripoli, Libya; and Wiesbaden, Germany. This gave her an opportunity to travel around the world with a stop in India to visit a friend, Maxine Berntsen, another distinguished alumna of Augsburg. After returning to the United States, Sulerud studied for a master's degree in Library Science (1968) and later received a master's degree in English (1970), each from the University of Minnesota.
During her many years as Augsburg's Collection Development Librarian and faculty member, she was committed to the learning of students. She served two terms as the treasurer of Augsburg Associates, from 2003 to 2007 and 2011 to 2017, ensuring they raised funds for Augsburg student scholarships. Her interests and energy lead her to participate in travels to Cuba with the Delegation For Friendship Among Women, and to Ethiopia supporting the efforts of REAL, Resources for the Enrichment of African Lives, an organization that helps girls stay in school.
In Minneapolis, Sulerud is a member of Trinity Lutheran Congregation located on Riverside Avenue, a congregation associated with the founding of Augsburg, where she sings in the choir, leads the monthly quilter's work session and has participated in activities with Metropolitan Interfaith Council on Affordable Housing.
With her late husband Ralph, long-time Augsburg biology professor, Sulerud has remained a supporter and enthusiast for all things Augsburg. Though she retired from Augsburg in 2003, she continues to stay involved at important university events: the recent grand opening of the Hagfors Center for Science, Business, and Religion; Homecoming festivities; Velkommen Jul; and Advent Vespers.
Sulerud lives out the Spirit of Augsburg Award and exemplifies Augsburg's historic mottos consistently: "Education for Service" and "The Truth Shall Make You Free." Her loyalty, dependability, and generosity enable Augsburg to carry forward with hearty conviction, intellectual rigor, and relational connectedness.

Meet Spirit of Augsburg Award Winner John R. Holum
Dr. John Holum and his daughters, Kathryn and Ann
John R. Holum, Ph.D., is a beloved Augsburg University retired professor whose legacy spans over 30 years as faculty. He is a prolific writer who has published dozens of books and peer-reviewed papers, which have inspired not only generations of students who read his chemistry textbooks, but also thousands of researchers and teachers around the world.
One nominator says this of Holum in a letter of support: "In his life and work he embodies the very ethos of Augsburg's commitment to the education of the whole person…Dr. Holum's approach to pedagogy was both engaging and inspiring…he made the material accessible to all and exciting to learn. He was articulate and patient."
After serving in the Army, where he enjoyed a community of fellow scientists, Holum briefly taught chemistry at Pacific Lutheran University on the West Coast. Drawn to Augsburg in 1957 because it was at the center of population density for Lutheran students in the United States, Holum had a vision to empower the next generation of science and medicine students to be faithful Christian witnesses in a variety of industries and locations.
He came to Augsburg with a Ph.D. in organic chemistry and began to teach chemistry to nurses and pre-med students. Holum continued to work at Augsburg until his retirement in 1993, also teaching advanced organic chemistry and environmental chemistry, which students said should be required for all their classmates.
The more students he got to know—including one exemplary Augsburg student, Peter Agre '70, who later won a Nobel Prize for chemistry—the more he realized the caliber of their character, intelligence, and diligence. This deepened sense of appreciation for his students transformed into a drive to write textbooks that better suited the needs of students learning in his classrooms and others studying the alluring complexities of chemistry. Through discussions with traveling textbook salespeople and a summer of long days researching with a grant from the National Science Foundation, his creation of a single textbook developed into a successful writing and publishing career that complemented his teaching in the classroom.
Holum's lifelong passion for academic excellence and support of students on their educational journey reflects Augsburg's anchoring principles of robust liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran church. Generations of students can attest to the transformational power of learning embedded within Holum's life and career. He was kind and generous as a professor, and is a man who lives a life of faith and service beyond the classroom.

Meet Spirit of Augsburg Award Winner Orville "Joe" Hognander
Posted on September 26, 2018 September 26, 2018 by Kaia Chambers
Orville "Joe" Hognander
By following his family's values of faith, dedication to building community, and applied philanthropy, Orville "Joe" Hognander has improved the lives of many.
Joe has deep Augsburg roots that extend back over 100 years to when his grandfather, Rev. Lars R. Lund, graduated from Augsburg Seminary in 1912. Later it would be at Augsburg where his parents first met during their freshman registration for the class of 1936. During their Augsburg years, Gertrude Lund and Orville Hognander shared their love of choral music through the newly created Augsburg Choir, where Orville became the first announcer and business manager and Gertrude was the piano accompanist. Of note, Orville created a weekly radio show on WCCO called the Hour Melodious, which featured the choir with Orville providing the spoken word. He also arranged the choir's first tour of 20 concerts throughout the Midwest.
Fellow Augsburg classmates remained lifelong friends of the Hognander family. Leland Sateren '35 was best man at Orville and Gertrude's wedding and went on to become a prolific composer, director of the Augsburg Choir, and chairman of the music department. Likewise, Oscar Anderson '36, became Augsburg's president from 1963 to 1980. It was during his tenure that Gertrude received Augsburg's Distinguished Alumni Award in 1973.
After graduating from high school, Joe Hognander left the Twin Cities for college, graduate school, and work. While employed by Black & Decker in Dallas, Texas, he received notification from his draft board that he would soon be called, so he immediately applied for Naval Officer Candidate School and was accepted. While on active duty, he had varied and challenging assignments including one as head of the translation division for the U.S. military command located in Saigon during the period just prior to the withdrawal of all military forces from Vietnam.
Following retirement from the Navy, Joe returned to the Twin Cities, where he cared for his parents during their final years. Part of this assistance involved helping his parents fulfill their philanthropic interests, which included support of institutions and organizations that had been significant in their lives. The Orville and Gertrude Hognander Endowment for music students was a direct outcome of this.
Today Joe conscientiously carries on the family tradition of support for work in the arts, sciences, music, charity, and education. As one person noted, "He has the heart of a philanthropist and the head of a businessman." Scores of organizations doing good work have had their public service magnified because he approaches needs in the community with an Auggie spirit of responsible leadership and stewardship.

Meet First Decade Award Winner Chris Stedman '08
Chris Stedman '08
Chris Stedman '08 is a humanist community organizer, interfaith activist, and writer living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is the founding executive director of the Humanist Center of Minnesota, a project seeking to explore the viability of a center for humanist life in Minneapolis, through which he and a group of researchers are currently studying the beliefs, practices, and community involvement of the religiously unaffiliated.
One of his nominators, Dr. Lori Brandt Hale, associate professor of religion at Augsburg, says this about Chris, "As a long-standing member of this community, I think we must count ourselves lucky to call Chris one of ours, and even luckier that he has come back to Minnesota, and Augsburg University, to carry on his important work in collaboration with all of us."
Formerly the founding executive director of the Yale Humanist Community and a fellow at Yale University, Chris also worked as a humanist chaplain at Harvard University, a content developer and trainer for the Interfaith Youth Core, and as the founding managing director of State of Formation at the Journal of Inter-Religious Dialogue. He currently serves as a fellow at the Christensen Center for Vocation at Augsburg University, and previously served as a fellow at Augsburg's Sabo Center for Democracy and Citizenship.
Chris is the author of "Faitheist: How an Atheist Found Common Ground with the Religious" (Beacon Press, 2012), "an intimate and deeply affecting portrait… [that] proves [he is] an activist in the truest sense and one to watch" (Booklist, Starred Review). The book received widespread acclaim from publications like the Minneapolis Star Tribune, which called it an "enlightening and engaging memoir calling for civil discourse between atheists and the religious [that] couldn't come at a better time," and the Houston Chronicle, which named Faitheist one of the best religion books of the year and called it "an exciting and boundary defying introduction to a new world [and] an amazing book that could potentially change the game."
Chris received a master of arts in religion from Meadville Lombard Theological School at the University of Chicago, for which he was awarded the Billings Prize for Most Outstanding Scholastic Achievement. A 2008 graduate of Augsburg University with a summa cum laude bachelor of arts in religion (with English and social welfare minors), he is currently writing a book exploring what it means to be "real" in the digital age and writing a monthly column on the same topic for INTO.
He has appeared on CNN, MSNBC, PBS, and Fox News, has spoken at hundreds of conferences and universities, and has written for publications including The Guardian, The Atlantic, Pitchfork, BuzzFeed, VICE, The Los Angeles Review of Books, CNN, MSNBC, USA Today, Salon, The Washington Post, and others. Details magazine named Chris one of "five next-gen gurus who are disrupting religion's status quo" and Mic called him "the millennial who's busting every stereotype about atheists."
The irony has been noted that Augsburg's most well known religion graduate is known for the fact that he is an atheist, and it is through this robust civic and ideological engagement that Chris practices the mission and vision of Augsburg.

Meet First Decade Award Winner Dr. Brian Krohn '08
Register now for Homecoming!
Dr. Brian Krohn
Brian Krohn '08, Ph.D., is a passionate innovator, entrepreneur, and Augsburg's first Rhodes Scholar. Switching from an Augsburg degree in film to one in chemistry was only one component of a rapidly expanding career that includes experience in renewable technology, mobile app development, local food, and medical devices.
In a joint letter nominating Brian for this award, the Chemistry Department at Augsburg says, "Brian is an alumnus who typifies the best of Augsburg's liberal arts education; he weaves together his care of creation and humanity with his technical prowess and creative insight to make the world a better place."
While at Augsburg, Brian was named a Goldwater Scholar, founded the Honors Review journal for student scholarship, and created an Honors course on home brewing. He researched the production of cleaner biodiesel fuel in collaboration with Augsburg's Professor Emeritus Arlin Gyberg, Ph.D., and alumnus Clayton McNeff '91, which spurred a new patented catalyzation process and physical plant, Evercat Fuels, that produces more than 8 million gallons of biodiesel per year. Some of Brian's research has been featured on "Good Morning America" and the National Council on Undergraduate Research Session.
Watch the KARE OnLIVE segment on his research below:
Brian earned a Ph.D. in Natural Resources and Sciences and Management from the University of Minnesota as an Environmental Protection Agency Fellow, as well as master's degrees from the University of Oxford in Environmental Change and Management and the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine as a Rhodes Scholar. He co-founded several companies including Mighty Axe Hops, which is the largest producer of Minnesota hops for local craft breweries.
He was an Innovation Fellow at the University of Minnesota's Medical Devices Center, where he worked on projects ranging from a new tool to assist neurosurgeons to remove brain cancer to an app to improve sleep. He is currently the CEO of Soundly, an app-based therapy to reduce snoring, which is a technology funded by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. His company, Magic Wizard Staff, displays his technical brilliance and playful creativity. Most recently, he joined Modern Logic, an innovative digital product development company. Brian has also served as an adjunct instructor at Macalester College and Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota, and has garnered numerous academic honors and entrepreneurship awards.
Brian's time at Augsburg was marked by exploration of not only chemistry, biology, and mathematics, but also philosophy, film, and literature. Paired with thoughtful consideration of calling and community, this cultivated his pursuit of knowledge, art, and technology in service to the world. His work demonstrates the power of Augsburg's intersection of liberal arts education and professional studies to enable others to be more healthy, happy, and fully human. He continues to stay connected to Augsburg and is generous with his time, encouraging and offering advice to students since his return to the Twin Cities.

'La Tribune le Progrès' writes about the painting of the Russian artist Nikolai Kuzmin and his exhibitions in Chambon-sur-Lignon.
Nikolay Kuzmin: a world of colours and secrets.
An eminent member of the Muscovite School of artists, Nikolay Kuzmin currently presents in the 'Cimaise' gallery in Chambon-sur-Lignon an exhibition, 'Nomadic Paintings', consisting of about fifty paintings.
The influences of Russian as well as western art pervade these fascinating works.
There is a thick layer of multi-coloured paint spreading over the surface of the canvas.
Nevertheless there is an esthetic quality guiding the structure and spirit of Nikolay Kuzmin's paintings. For this man, who joined the Union of Muscovite Artists once the Soviet regime had collapsed, jolting conventions has become a habit, far beyond a reflex but a real asset.
From the origins of this extraordinary artistic vocation one can sense the traditions of the town of Nizhny Novgorod, situated on the river Volga and not far from where Kuzmin was born.
In this region, deeply attached to its cultural heritage, the painter discovered a conventional idea of beauty, ensuing from the simplicity of its accessible themes.
His willingness to create and embody innovation transforms classical subjects into masterpieces on the canvas.
Through unusual applications of depth, this clever creator does not forget to wink an eye in the direction of the Russian masters who influenced him in his youth.
Often formed through the interaction with the spatula his works cannot deny a very Slavic nature, both warm and generous.
Like a sculptor Kuzmin works on material so far as to turn paint standing in relief into a source of darkness and light. But above all the artist remains a funambulist of colours. A wonderful harmony of tones characterizes his slightest interpretation, be it these snow-capped pine trees, these almost dreamlike coastal views, or the elegant façade of the Rostov Velikiy cathedral.
A painting to master
The oil paintings by Nikolay Kuzmin are much more than the bare reflection of a model – they carry within them the achievements of their author, his progression, and his genius.
Somewhat related to the impressionist current, they sometimes border on abstraction, like diffuse memories. The emotions and perceptions appear to find their expression in the width of movement, in the varied precision of stroke. To the aesthete painting like this no doubt radiates and conceals an immensely sensitive soul, but your eye cannot perceive it without delving into his deeply secret universe.
Nikolay Kuzmin, 'Nomadic Paintings'. Exhibition in the Cimaise Gallery in Chambon-sur-Lignon till August 26th. Open every day from 9 :30am to 12am, and from 3pm to 6pm.Information +33(0)4 71 59 70 80

Nikolay Kuzmin, the wandering artist
The painter from Nizhny Novgorod, an outstanding representative of the Muscovite School of artists, exhibits in Chambon-sur-Lignon until September 1st.
Lovers of art and paintings could identify his paintings among thousands of others.
Faithful to his generous and sparkling style Nikolay Kuzmin continues on his already brilliant career finding in the landscapes he finds when roaming around the world always greater sources of inspiration. True to himself the Russian artist remains attached to his inimitable stamp when breaking new ground. He explores other emotionally charged regions without betraying his reservations about them.
The works exhibited in Chambon-sur-Lignon carry within them the trace of the evolution and progress of his painting over the last ten years.
With Nikolay Kuzmin the small revolutions, the very ones that are concerned with apparently insignificant details, turn a conventional subject into a powerfully original image, charged with emotions and adorned with the beauty that the creator's eye gives it.
By doing so he ensures the perpetuation of Russian traditional art - this great pictorial movement in which his whole youth was immersed. He observed Korovin, Vrubel, he analysed Serov, also became imbued with the popular culture of his region, and acquired a rich artistic knowledge with references and sober tribute, with which he still today peppers his own works.
While Kuzmin nowadays often prefers to use the spatula rather than the paintbrush, his achievements no doubt retain the influence of drawing with the spatula.
The world at the tip of his spatula
He always works with oil paint, finding in the thickness of the material an elegant way of mastering light and spreading his shade areas.
The expressionist influence, omnipresent in Kuzmin's work, reinterprets the model, filtering from it its underlying charm.
In his hands the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris, the Basil the Blessed cathedral in Moscow and the pieces of landscapes in France and Russia become, through the enchantment of art, a series of both magical and philosophical visions.
The exhibitions of paintings by Nikolay Kuzmin, presented by his daughter Luba, can be seen in the Instant Chouette gallery in Chambon-sur-Lignon until September 1st. Open every day from 10am to 12 :30pm and from 3pm to 7pm.

Glutathione: a powerful antioxidant with a funny sounding name. Since you are reading this page, you may have heard something about how important glutathione is for your body and your overall wellbeing. If you are ready to discover what this incredible nutrient can do for you, read on to learn more.
Glutathione is an antioxidant naturally produced in the human body and essential to your health. This is because glutathione prevents cellular damage caused by free radicals and peroxides. Considered as the foundation of the body's detoxification pathway to the liver, healthy glutathione levels correspond directly with healthy and properly functioning cells.
IV nutrient therapy protocols containing glutathione can lead to better treatment and management of diseases and disorders related to cell degeneration and decay. A regular boost of glutathione levels helps infuse weak cells with the defensive antioxidants they need to survive. Using glutathione, the Miami-Dade County Florida clinics and doctors on our directory can help treat and even reverse common symptoms of neurological degenerative disorder, autoimmune disorders and much more.
Considering the vital role that glutathione plays in your daily health, you can't afford to live with less than optimal levels. Unfortunately, there are many factors that can lead to deficiency in this important nutrient. If you are suspect to any of these factors, you should immediately consider ways to replenish and boost your glutathione levels.
Some autoimmune disorders and acute illnesses may also leave the body depleted of proper glutathione levels. Conditions such as HIV, cirrhosis of the liver, viral hepatitis, non-alcoholic liver disease and lung diseases such as COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder), asthma and fibrosis can all result in low glutathione levels.
Restoring and maintaining adequate levels of glutathione can help patients prevent and alleviate the effects of some of these conditions with customized glutathione IV therapy protocols.
Intravenous glutathione therapy is a safe, gentle procedure that can provide you with amazing results. It is a natural alternative to rigorous medical testing and harsh chemical pharmaceuticals that often leave patients feeling worse off than before.
Combined with other vital nutrients, vitamins and hydrating fluids, intravenous glutathione infusions are an alternative treatment for cancer, heart disease, liver disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, Alzheimer's, fibromyalgia, autism, dementia, Epstein-Barr, adrenal fatigue syndrome and more.
What's more, glutathione infusions enter your bloodstream directly for a faster, more efficient distribution of antioxidants than oral supplements. Glutathione taken orally is susceptible to the harsh effects of digestive stomach enzymes that may break down nutrients before the body can use them. Often the very diseases that glutathione is recommended to treat cause issues such as malabsorption, further disrupting oral glutathione supplement absorption.
If you are ready to begin treatment or learn more about intravenous glutathione therapy, contact the Miami-Dade County Florida IV therapy doctors on this directory. These Miami-Dade County glutathione specialists can provide glutathione therapy, as well as a number of other intravenous protocols that will get you back on your feet and living well. To learn more about the conditions that can be improved with IV therapy and glutathione infusions, contact a glutathione doctors in Miami-Dade County Florida today!

Freshers Week - one of the fun and most enjoyable weeks ever.
Until you get hit with the flu that is.
Sorry to break it to you, but it's pretty hard to avoid. If you go about it the right way (and follow the steps in the video), you'll be right in no time.
Healthy, balanced diet: Don't tell me you thought you could off those takeaways forever? Make an effort to cook and eat plenty of fruit and veg.
Soup: Ok, we know this is your Grandma's typical answer to everything, but if you're feeling a little off then a warm bowl of soup will do just the trick.
Water: Drink water through the day, after a night out and on a night out to keep hydrated and energised.
Keep everything clean: Having your room resemble a dungeon is not going to make you feel fresh and raring to go at all.
Make sure you've registered yourself with a local GP as soon as possible just in case you are hit with the flu.

According to Cybercrime Report, there were 3,8 billion internet users in 2017. It means that more than 50% of the world population, including you, are targets of internet scams.
Revealing your personal information to steal your identity.
Downloading viruses on your computer, smartphone or tablet.
Paying for fake goods, services, donations, lottery winnings etc.
You'll be surprised how creative internet scammers are. In this article you'll discover how do top 17 internet scams work and how to avoid them. Read on to protect yourself!
Scammers set up fake online shops where they offer luxurious items with unbelievable discounts. If you trust them, you risk getting a worthless replica or nothing at all. Often fake shops disappear without a trace of your and other victim's money and bank details.
Always read customer reviews. Try to contact them – fake sellers won't reply. Never pay with a bank transfer. Instead use a debit, credit card or PayPal which have protection against fraud. Use a prepaid card that is not connected to your bank account. Choose to shop in global and most reliable online stores, such as eBay, Amazon, AliExpress etc.
When a company offers a "free trial", you're likely signing up for a monthly or annual subscription. It's easy to cancel subscriptions with legitimate companies. On the other hand, fraudulent companies will make it complicated and hide details like the date when your trial ends and where to cancel it. Once it ends, you'll get charged automatically.
Google the company's name to see if someone hasn't reported a scam before. Check your account if it hasn't already been charged, when you signed up for the free trial.
Criminals set up a fake social profile or website with pictures of planes, luxury cars, piles of cash etc. Then they offer to teach you how they achieved their success, if you buy an ebook, online course or join a paid online forum. In most cases, it's all made up – you're buying very overpriced theoretical information, that's available in libraries for free.
Invest only as much money, as you're willing to lose, because there's always a risk. Search "(name of the company/person that offers you something) + (scam or reviews)" to find discussions on forums. Be careful with Bitcoin, Forex, Stocks, Gold and Options trading platforms – they are legal, but still 9 out of 10 beginners lose their investment.
A fake company from abroad sends you an email that says "you won 1,000,000€". The sum doesn't matter. What matters is they will ask you to pay a "processing fee" that is needed to send you the winnings. Unfortunately, those are lies. You won't get paid back.
If you don't remember participating in a lottery of any kind, immediately unsubscribe and delete such emails. If you have participated in a lottery, make sure the email is coming from a real company – with a real website and working phone number, that you can call.
When you accept a friend request on Facebook from an unknown person, they can get all the information they need to duplicate your profile. Later, they can easily act as you to send viruses, ask for a loan from your friends or simply to ruin your reputation.
Check EVERY friend request – even if it comes from someone you know. Maybe your colleague's profile has been duplicated and is now used to trick you as well. Fake profiles will usually have only few friends, one photo and an empty timeline. If you're curious, message him/her "I'm sorry, do I know you?" before accepting the request.
Otherwise known as phishing, these scams are designed to convince you to share valuable data like credit card details, passwords or date of birth to "verify your identity" or "prevent fraud" etc. Such emails look like notices from a legit bank or government.
Check if the domain in the sender's email address seems legit like "[email protected]" instead of "[email protected]1.com". If it seems suspicious, simply delete the email and notify the real company about phishing attack. It's best if you don't open any attached files, even if you have antivirus software/app since new viruses can still harm your device.
Scammers access one of your contacts' profile or email account and send out fake messages with an attached file. In most cases, it's "a naked picture of you" or a greeting e-card. If you open it, a virus can lock your devices' storage and hold it for ransom.
Before opening any unexpected files, ask about them to your contact directly. If such messages are sent from their account, they likely don't even know they've been hacked. Also, it's best to hold valuable data on an external storage, instead of on your device.
A fake airline profile or website says about an anniversary and a giveaway of free flight tickets. To participate, you're asked to fill in a survey and share the contest with your contacts. In result, you let scammers steal your data and spread the scam even further.
Simply be skeptical. Before you let excitement overwhelm you, check if the actual airline company is sharing this offer. If not, it's 99,99% probability you're looking at a scam. It's also wise to warn your friends and family if they tend to share and like Facebook posts. Contact the real airline company and ask if they really have made such a campaign.
Email criminals create a story about a "prince in Nigeria, who needs help to recover his wealth from an overseas bank and will reward you if you help". Because this looks like a win-win offer, you're likely to help them in hope to receive a huge paycheck afterward.
This scam is similar to the fake lottery and investment scams – you get tricked, because you get greedy for easy money. Instead of believing the lies scammers tell you, you can have fun replying to their spam emails (be careful though – you shouldn't open any attachments or links they send you). But never ever send any money to such people.
The web is full of hidden links, that trigger fraudulent pop-ups which offer you to call an emergency number or to scan your device. If you call, you'll get charged. If you accept to scan your device, it will scan for bank details and login information instead of viruses.
Install Pop-up blocker – it will block all online pop-ups. Whenever you get warned online, stop for a moment and think twice before you click anywhere out of fear. Make sure your device has a trusted antivirus installed, that scans your device for viruses regularly.
This scam is most often played after an earthquake, cyclone, terrorist attack or any other tragedy. Criminals set up fake charity websites and send you emails, that target your generosity for others in need. In other words, you're likely to get emotional and show compassion by donating at least 1€, without researching the charity's organizer.
Remember, that legitimate charities are registered as non-profit companies. Also, if you feel pressured to donate or are offered a prize for donating, these both are signs of a charity scam. Don't believe Facebook posts that say "Every like & share earns 5 cents".
"She lost belly fat in 2 days", "This 16-year-old guy earns $5431/month from home", "Scientists reveal a secret pill" – these are called clickbait ads. They make you believe in miracles that trick you into buying overpriced or worthless items in a hope for a success.
Install AdBlock – it will hide almost all online ads. Don't believe "miracle solution" ads, that promise to cure all your problems easily. Like always, look for reviews about the company on Google and TrustPilot to make sure people aren't referring to it as a scam.
Scammers create job offers, so they can ask applicants for an ID "to create an official job agreement" or to pay for a "starter kit" like a training program. In either case, the applicant is one step away from being tricked into a financial scam or identity theft.
If you are looking for a real work from home, use sites such as Upwork, Fiverr and Freelancer. These sites have created a platform that ensures you to be paid on time and helps you if the employer tries to trick you. Learn here how to become a freelancer.
"Which car suits your personality type?" – such quizzes sometimes ask you to enter your phone number to view the results. Quiz creators then charge you for a fake service with an untraceable transaction. Worst of all, you find it out only when your phone bill arrives.
As tempting social quizzes might be, they are not worth it. Remember that a high-quality personality quiz will always have a paid version with a legit company managing it. Free and fun quizzes are mostly used as hidden hooks to get money or information from you.
Fake news writes untrue and misleading information to attract new readers, who are likely to spread them further via social networks. These sites are also filled with paid advertisements, pop-ups and downloadable information, which can all contain viruses.
Actually, there is no way to avoid the fake news. The best you can do is question everything you read, instead of instantly believing it. Unfortunately, even real news websites are often corrupt, spread propaganda and place fraudulent advertisements.
Fake payday loan criminals aim to get your money, without giving you a loan. One way of doing that is asking you an upfront fee. Another way is hiring shady debt collectors, who will threaten you into paying them, even though you still haven't received the loan.
Look for payday loans, who have certificates of quality assurance on their websites. Remember, that legit companies will never ask you for an upfront fee. Search for "best payday loan in (your country)" on Google to find comparison websites with reviews.
If you connect to a public WiFi in airport, coffee shop, library or elsewhere, hackers can easily run a malicious program, that scans your phone for bank details, passwords and documents. In other cases, hackers can control your device without you knowing it.
Connect only to password-protected networks – you can ask for the password almost everywhere (banks, libraries, airports etc.). Disable the automatic connection option in device's settings. Install a VPN app/software to encrypt and use WiFi networks securely.
It's a dangerous world out there, especially in the online environment. You should treat your personal information like you'd treat a box of treasure. As Gordon Gekko said in the movie Wall Street – "The most valuable commodity I know of is information".

The enemy of corruption, terrorism, racism and greed, Curaçao-born Dutch designer Rushemy Botter has mobilized an army of kindred folk, flying their colours under the insignia of love. Botter crosses the heavy with the soft, holds his banner high, and wears his heart on his sleeve for his breakthrough collection.
Let's start with one of the most apparent subjects: your ties with VFILES (the NYC platform for hot talent). How did the connection come about?
At New York Fashion Week you were rubbing shoulders with all kinds of mentors, from Naomi Campbell to Jerry Lorenzo and Rihanna's stylist Mel Ottenberg. What did you get from them?
Yes! Firstly, it was an amazing experience to be able to connect with people who have so much experience. I told them about the collection, we went through all the looks piece by piece, they told me what they liked, and listened to my inspiration. I felt a click with Lorenzo because he's also a designer; we share the same passion. He got crazy about one jacket from the collection, so I made him one when I got back to Belgium.
What's the story with Young Thug, who showed up unprompted on the VFILES runway to fix and style one of your models? What really happened?
I knew that he was going to wear an outfit from the collection because his stylist came by the showroom and picked a look for him to wear, but I never expected this to happen. I was amazed; I saw it happening on the screen backstage. Later his stylist told me that he wanted to do something to thank me, which turned out very successful— it went viral!
Let's take it back a bit. How did you first become connected with design? Where does your creative energy come from?
When I was young I had a certain interest in clothing; I knew exactly what I wanted to put on to wear to school. I always knew that clothes make a difference. It wasn't until I grew older I realized that fashion design was a profession. I find energy from people on the streets; I'm interested by those most unaware of fashion and dressing in the proper way. If you were to construe your style in a language of your own, how would it go? I want to tell a story with my designs. I find myself getting the best ideas when I combine several ideas, subjects or images, almost like mind works in collages. Not only collaged images, but the crossing of subjects finding each other.
Could you tell us the story of your trip to the Dominican Republic and how it inspired you?
I was visiting the family of my girlfriend in Santo Domingo, where I was inspired on every corner—especially by the people who live big parts of their life on the streets to earn a bit of money to get through the day. They work with what they have, and this leads to such creativity. This boy I saw had no pants, but he made it work with two sweaters instead: one he wore in the regular way, and the other he wore as pants to cover his small legs. I was amazed when I saw this, and it became the starting point of my collection.
In contrast to the picture of an innocent young boy, talk to us about the Mongrel Mob. How did biker gang inspiration come into the collection?
I came across New Zealand's mighty Mongrel Mob through Jono Rotman's work—a photographer who somehow managed to earn the mob's trust and photograph them in a beautiful, fragile-yet-dark way. I started my research on the biker gang. What inspired me the most was that although they have a reputation as an incredibly violent gang, they're still family to each other. They make their own values and rules; I see them as a tribe. They're bold in their ways of showing disagreement with society's rules.
Is this what sparked your fascination with patches, badges and insignia?
Yes, "My patch is my heart" is a phrase I borrowed from the Mongrel Mob. The patch is everything to them, showing their inclusion in the gang and family. My interpreted patches make use of words; they're directly from my own heart. This collection is like a diary to me so messages are highly important. With today's world mood, we need to raise our voices, say things out loud and keep the desire to change for the better. I feel the need to create messages about the injustice of racism, corruption and to stand up for refugees—everybody should walk free.
What does "walking free" mean to you?
Freedom… for me, it means that people can decide to do something, or go somewhere without any restraints. And most importantly, that people are not parted from their own family because of closed borders.
How did you come to work with delicate details like pressed flowers or ribboning to juxtapose military tropes and helmets?
I wanted to make use of typical symbols of violence and war, but introduce them in a more poetic way. The contrast of the softer symbols and material makes me able to tell my whole story.
Your "Ilen Boots" were designed in collaboration with René Van Den Berg. Can you talk a bit about this?
The collaboration with René was an amazing experience; his technical skill is incredible. I came to him with the sketch of the Chelsea boot. He made the first trial and during this process we had to overcome a lot of hitches. But this I find the most interesting process, here the most beautiful things happen. He eventually made eight pairs of shoes in three colourways.
Incredibly, you're not even finished with your studies yet. What's the focus for your final (MA) year of study in Antwerp? What lies in the future for Rushemy Botter?

Lahey's Canungra Sawmill is a heritage-listed former sawmill at 10-26 Finch Road, Canungra, Scenic Rim Region, Queensland, Australia. It was built in 1884. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 6 March 2009.

History

The Canungra Sawmill operated between 1884 and c.1935. The mill was wholly owned and operated by the Lahey family until 1921. Timber from throughout the Canungra region was brought to the mill from the company's timber stands via their private tramway (Lahey's Canungra Tramway Tunnel) and transported out of Canungra on the Government railway line. The mill was rebuilt after major fires in 1897 and 1906 and modernised with new milling equipment and updates to processing techniques were made regularly. The mill and all associated equipment, infrastructure and timber stands were finally sold by the Lahey's in 1921. The mill changed hands twice more (in 1923 and 1933) as the viability of the timber industry in the region waned, before closing for a final time c.1935.

European settlement of the area surrounding the Coomera River commenced in 1843 with the establishment of the Tambourine holding. Early timber harvesting commenced in the 1860s by Hugh Mahony who cut and hauled cedar logs to mills in Ipswich.

The Lahey family emigrated from their native Ireland to Australia in 1862. Francis Lahey, his wife and eleven children arrived in Sydney, but immediately travelled north to Brisbane. The family began farming in the Pimpama region in 1870. In 1875 Francis Lahey purchased a sugar mill at Tygum, near Waterford, for his sons. Francis expanded the operations at Tygum to include sawmilling, an industry that would dominate the working lives of the next generation of the Lahey family.

After being informed of quality timber in the region, David Lahey commenced construction of a sawmill at Canungra on 2 October 1884. During the same year David, John, Isaiah, Thomas and Evangeline Lahey all applied for and were granted selections of land around Canungra totalling over . Lahey's Canungra Sawmill was established on Portion 61, Canungra on land leased from Robert Christie and beside what is now known as Christie Street. With the construction of the mill, David Lahey also had a number of small cottages built on site for mill workers while others were established in and around what would become the township of Canungra.

Machinery for Lahey's Canungra Sawmill was brought up the Logan River by steamer to a location near Logan Village, and hauled to the sawmill site by bullock teams. Production at the mill steadily increased from 1885 onwards. Much of the timber produced was used for the construction of housing throughout southeast Queensland.

The Lahey family was hard working, innovative, and often experimental, eager for change and mindful of market forces and demands. During the 1880s, the Lahey family expanded their business, establishing an office in Brisbane in 1887, additional saw and planing mills at Beaudesert in 1888, and another mill at Widgee near Hill View in 1898. The economic downturn of the 1890s forced the Lahey's into stave-shaping and casking to provide enough income to keep the business alive. Staves are narrow strips of wood placed edge to edge to form the sides, covering, or lining of a vessel or structure.

On the night of 9 July 1897, the Canungra mill burnt down and 20,000 super feet of sawn and dressed pine in the mill yards was destroyed. The mill was re-built but at a larger scale and was more modern in layout than the original mill, with the planing machine and other machinery separated from the main milling activities.

By the turn of the twentieth century, transportation of timber to Lahey's Canungra Sawmill was becoming a problem. By this time the Lahey's had acquired timber leases amounting to over  in the Canungra and Pine Creek Valleys, thereby requiring the slow and expensive bullock teams to haul logs over ever-increasing distances. The Lahey's viewed mechanisation as the solution to their transportation problems and it was decided a tramway be built into the Pine Creek Valley. A narrow gauge of  was chosen for the tramway to match the gauge of the growing Queensland Government Railways, as it was hoped that the government line would eventually extend to Canungra (this finally occurred in 1914).

Lahey's Canungra Sawmill was again badly damaged by fire in the early hours of 13 January 1906. The main building which housed the sawing operations was completely destroyed. Up-to-date equipment recently imported from the United States of America was lost, including a broom handle machine, sand-papering machine and butter box printing machine. Several new additions to the mill operations, including a new drying kiln and planning machine shed were, however, saved. The fire forced the closure of the mill for three months.

The rebuild following this fire was complemented by improvements between 1907 and 1908. Electric log-hauling machinery was installed. The tramway servicing the mill was extended over time and by 1910 the main line was  long with a branch  up Flying Fox Creek and a sub-branch  up Little Flying Fox Creek to service a new aerial ropeway on Beech Mountain. Eventually, the total length of track laid amounted to . Usage of the tramway continued to increase so that during 1915 alone,  of logs were being hauled to the mill along the tramway.

In 1913, Tom Lahey left Australia on an inspection of milling operations in the United States of America. The Lahey's were interested in purchasing new milling machinery and keen to stay abreast of the latest trends in sawmilling practice. A range of new equipment was purchased, and once installed, the capacity of the mill doubled and the cost of labour greatly reduced. The introduction of an eight-foot band mill and steam log turner made the Lahey's Canungra Sawmill the biggest softwood mill in Queensland. In its heyday, the mill was producing Australia's largest output of softwood timber. In the process, the township of Canungra was established because of the presence and success of the mill.

By 1920 much of the timber had been removed from the Canungra area. The War Services Homes Commission, established at the end of World War One, purchased the milling operation from the Lahey family, taking possession of the site on 1 January 1921. Timber processed at the mill was to be used in the construction of housing for returned World War One servicemen. The mill, however, closed three months later due to a change in policy by the Commission for their acquisitions of timber and was put up for sale. In 1923, Brisbane Timbers Ltd (part of which was owned by the Lahey family) purchased the mill by tender. The sale included all plant equipment,  of freehold land of which  carried pine, the timber tramway and branch lines totalling  of track, the locomotives and all rolling stock. In 1933, the Standply Timber Company purchased the mill and added an advanced veneer and plywood plant. The timber industry in the Canungra area had largely collapsed, however, by c.1935. That same year the last of the tramway rails and equipment was sold to a milling venture in Cardwell, North Queensland and the mill was dismantled.

Description
The archaeological remains of Lahey's Canungra Sawmill are located within the western half of Lot 2 on RP200758, located north of Christie Road and west of Finch Road, in the township of Canungra. The land on which the site is situated has been cleared and is an undeveloped paddock. An abandoned caravan park occupies the eastern portion of Lot 2 on RP200758. There are also a number of temporary enclosures, presumably for horses, consisting of wire and star-picket fences. The abandoned caravan park and remaining wire and star-picket fence lines are not considered to be of cultural heritage significance.

The main sawmill remains are concentrated in the centre of the western portion of the lot. Numerous concrete machinery foundations are present across this area, including the supporting pillars for the mills steam engine and concrete steam water pits. A  concrete slab located in this area may also be the base for the crane used to lift logs from the trams bringing logs to the mill. The terminal end of the old tramway line is evident in the form of the cut ends of the rails embedded in a large concrete foundation. A number of broken bricks were recorded on the surface, including those from Campbell's Brickworks, Brisbane or Redbank, as well as other elliptical frogged but unlettered types possibly used as insulation for the two boilers known to have been on site. There are a limited number of metal artefacts visible, including the remains of a metal storage bin. Potential exists for substantial and extensive subsurface archaeological deposits in the vicinity of these surface remains as it was noted that the area shows limited subsurface disturbance, except for two easements which dissect the site. A services pipe (Easement A on RP150196) is exposed in the south-west of the lot adjoining the bowls club, and runs underground diagonally across the lot to the north-east towards Canungra Creek. A second easement (Easement B on RP181573) also runs from the south-west corner of the lot to its northern boundary with Canungra Creek.

A second concentration of concrete machinery and building foundations is located in the northern section of Lot 2 on RP200758. These remains straddle a wide intermittent creek which runs from the south-west corner of Lot 2 on RP200758 and terminates on the northern boundary of the lot, and Easement B on RP181573. These foundations are located immediately adjacent to the remains of the former Lahey's railway siding and are interpreted as part of the infrastructure used to load timber onto trains heading from the mill on the government Canungra-Logan Village branch line and also possibly related to the later Standply Timber Company veneer and plywood operations. There are potentially substantial subsurface archaeological deposits located in the vicinity of these surface remains as the area shows little evidence of recent subsurface disturbance though it may have been affected by works associated with the construction of Easement B on RP181573.

Heritage listing
Lahey's Canungra Sawmill was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 6 March 2009 having satisfied the following criteria.

Lahey's Canungra Sawmill Site is important in demonstrating part of the pattern of Queensland's history as remnant evidence of an early, substantial and enduring timber processing operation between 1884 and 1921, and again from 1933 until c.1935. Lahey's Canungra Sawmill Site is important in demonstrating the pattern of settlement and land use in south-east Queensland. During its peak period of operation after 1913, the mill was the largest softwood mill in Queensland and the largest processor of softwood timber in Australia.

Archaeological investigations of the Lahey's Canungra Sawmill have potential to reveal important aspects of Queensland's history, including early and long enduring timber processing practices, influences on the development of Queensland by the prominent Lahey family in its history, and the daily lives and conditions faced by workers in late 19th and early 20th century timber industry.

The Lahey's Canungra Sawmill provides an opportunity to examine, through its archaeological remains, an important early and long enduring timber processing operation. Although timber processing operations were widespread across Queensland by the late 19th century, archaeological investigations into the mill layout and composition have potential to yield additional information on the changing and often innovative workplace practices that occurred at the Canungra Sawmill. The archaeological remains at the Canungra Sawmill provide important comparative information on sawmilling practices, mill layouts and configurations for other sawmill sites found across Queensland.

Archaeological investigations at Lahey's Canungra Sawmill provide a rare opportunity to examine issues of continuity and change to milling operations in late 19th and early 20th century Queensland. The sawmill has historical associations with the influential Lahey family, who ran the milling operations at Canungra until 1921. Analysis of subsurface archaeological deposits may provide new information on previously unknown or little documented timber manufacturing processes, particularly as the Lahey family were well known for embracing change and for innovative workplace practices.

Additional archaeological artefacts are anticipated to occur across the site, especially within the area of the main sawmill site and the concentration of building and machinery foundations adjacent to the former Lahey's siding.

Analysis of archaeological features at the Canungra Sawmill site will develop our understanding of the Lahey timber operations throughout the Canungra area, and provide comparative and supporting information for other related timber heritage places across the state.

Archaeological investigations of subsurface archaeological materials will help in our understanding of working conditions and daily life within the mill and possibly the life of the mill's first employees through potential relocation of artefacts and features associated with the first workers cottages for the mill.

The mill complex has the potential to help us answer a range of archaeological research questions including, but not limited to, early timber-processing practices in Queensland, life at an early mill operation in Queensland, the material culture of the Lahey family and their impact on timber getting practices, processes and operations in Queensland.

Book III - Chapter V
The opinions of the divine and the philosopher concerning the two boys; with some reasons for their opinions, and other matters.
It is probable, that by disclosing this secret, which had been communicated in the utmost confidence to him, young Blifil preserved his companion from a good lashing; for the offence of the bloody nose would have been of itself sufficient cause for Thwackum to have proceeded to correction; but now this was totally absorbed in the consideration of the other matter; and with regard to this, Mr Allworthy declared privately, he thought the boy deserved reward rather than punishment, so that Thwackum's hand was withheld by a general pardon.
Thwackum, whose meditations were full of birch, exclaimed against this weak, and, as he said he would venture to call it, wicked lenity. To remit the punishment of such crimes was, he said, to encourage them. He enlarged much on the correction of children, and quoted many texts from Solomon, and others; which being to be found in so many other books, shall not be found here. He then applied himself to the vice of lying, on which head he was altogether as learned as he had been on the other.
Square said, he had been endeavouring to reconcile the behaviour of Tom with his idea of perfect virtue, but could not. He owned there was something which at first sight appeared like fortitude in the action; but as fortitude was a virtue, and falsehood a vice, they could by no means agree or unite together. He added, that as this was in some measure to confound virtue and vice, it might be worth Mr Thwackum's consideration, whether a larger castigation might not be laid on upon the account.
As both these learned men concurred in censuring Jones, so were they no less unanimous in applauding Master Blifil. To bring truth to light, was by the parson asserted to be the duty of every religious man; and by the philosopher this was declared to be highly conformable with the rule of right, and the eternal and unalterable fitness of things.
All this, however, weighed very little with Mr Allworthy. He could not be prevailed on to sign the warrant for the execution of Jones. There was something within his own breast with which the invincible fidelity which that youth had preserved, corresponded much better than it had done with the religion of Thwackum, or with the virtue of Square. He therefore strictly ordered the former of these gentlemen to abstain from laying violent hands on Tom for what had past. The pedagogue was obliged to obey those orders; but not without great reluctance, and frequent mutterings that the boy would be certainly spoiled.
Towards the gamekeeper the good man behaved with more severity. He presently summoned that poor fellow before him, and after many bitter remonstrances, paid him his wages, and dismist him from his service; for Mr Allworthy rightly observed, that there was a great difference between being guilty of a falsehood to excuse yourself, and to excuse another. He likewise urged, as the principal motive to his inflexible severity against this man, that he had basely suffered Tom Jones to undergo so heavy a punishment for his sake, whereas he ought to have prevented it by making the discovery himself.
When this story became public, many people differed from Square and Thwackum, in judging the conduct of the two lads on the occasion. Master Blifil was generally called a sneaking rascal, a poor-spirited wretch, with other epithets of the like kind; whilst Tom was honoured with the appellations of a brave lad, a jolly dog, and an honest fellow. Indeed, his behaviour to Black George much ingratiated him with all the servants; for though that fellow was before universally disliked, yet he was no sooner turned away than he was as universally pitied; and the friendship and gallantry of Tom Jones was celebrated by them all with the highest applause; and they condemned Master Blifil as openly as they durst, without incurring the danger of offending his mother. For all this, however, poor Tom smarted in the flesh; for though Thwackum had been inhibited to exercise his arm on the foregoing account, yet, as the proverb says, It is easy to find a stick, &c. So was it easy to find a rod; and, indeed, the not being able to find one was the only thing which could have kept Thwackum any long time from chastising poor Jones.
Had the bare delight in the sport been the only inducement to the pedagogue, it is probable Master Blifil would likewise have had his share; but though Mr Allworthy had given him frequent orders to make no difference between the lads, yet was Thwackum altogether as kind and gentle to this youth, as he was harsh, nay even barbarous, to the other. To say the truth, Blifil had greatly gained his master's affections; partly by the profound respect he always showed his person, but much more by the decent reverence with which he received his doctrine; for he had got by heart, and frequently repeated, his phrases, and maintained all his master's religious principles with a zeal which was surprizing in one so young, and which greatly endeared him to the worthy preceptor.
Tom Jones, on the other hand, was not only deficient in outward tokens of respect, often forgetting to pull off his hat, or to bow at his master's approach; but was altogether as unmindful both of his master's precepts and example. He was indeed a thoughtless, giddy youth, with little sobriety in his manners, and less in his countenance; and would often very impudently and indecently laugh at his companion for his serious behaviour.
Mr Square had the same reason for his preference of the former lad; for Tom Jones showed no more regard to the learned discourses which this gentleman would sometimes throw away upon him, than to those of Thwackum. He once ventured to make a jest of the rule of right; and at another time said, he believed there was no rule in the world capable of making such a man as his father (for so Mr Allworthy suffered himself to be called).
Master Blifil, on the contrary, had address enough at sixteen to recommend himself at one and the same time to both these opposites. With one he was all religion, with the other he was all virtue. And when both were present, he was profoundly silent, which both interpreted in his favour and in their own.
Nor was Blifil contented with flattering both these gentlemen to their faces; he took frequent occasions of praising them behind their backs to Allworthy; before whom, when they two were alone, and his uncle commended any religious or virtuous sentiment (for many such came constantly from him) he seldom failed to ascribe it to the good instructions he had received from either Thwackum or Square; for he knew his uncle repeated all such compliments to the persons for whose use they were meant; and he found by experience the great impressions which they made on the philosopher, as well as on the divine: for, to say the truth, there is no kind of flattery so irresistible as this, at second hand.
The young gentleman, moreover, soon perceived how extremely grateful all those panegyrics on his instructors were to Mr Allworthy himself, as they so loudly resounded the praise of that singular plan of education which he had laid down; for this worthy man having observed the imperfect institution of our public schools, and the many vices which boys were there liable to learn, had resolved to educate his nephew, as well as the other lad, whom he had in a manner adopted, in his own house; where he thought their morals would escape all that danger of being corrupted to which they would be unavoidably exposed in any public school or university.
Having, therefore, determined to commit these boys to the tuition of a private tutor, Mr Thwackum was recommended to him for that office, by a very particular friend, of whose understanding Mr Allworthy had a great opinion, and in whose integrity he placed much confidence. This Thwackum was fellow of a college, where he almost entirely resided; and had a great reputation for learning, religion, and sobriety of manners. And these were doubtless the qualifications by which Mr Allworthy's friend had been induced to recommend him; though indeed this friend had some obligations to Thwackum's family, who were the most considerable persons in a borough which that gentleman represented in parliament.
Thwackum, at his first arrival, was extremely agreeable to Allworthy; and indeed he perfectly answered the character which had been given of him. Upon longer acquaintance, however, and more intimate conversation, this worthy man saw infirmities in the tutor, which he could have wished him to have been without; though as those seemed greatly overbalanced by his good qualities, they did not incline Mr Allworthy to part with him: nor would they indeed have justified such a proceeding; for the reader is greatly mistaken, if he conceives that Thwackum appeared to Mr Allworthy in the same light as he doth to him in this history; and he is as much deceived, if he imagines that the most intimate acquaintance which he himself could have had with that divine, would have informed him of those things which we, from our inspiration, are enabled to open and discover. Of readers who, from such conceits as these, condemn the wisdom or penetration of Mr Allworthy, I shall not scruple to say, that they make a very bad and ungrateful use of that knowledge which we have communicated to them.
These apparent errors in the doctrine of Thwackum served greatly to palliate the contrary errors in that of Square, which our good man no less saw and condemned. He thought, indeed, that the different exuberancies of these gentlemen would correct their different imperfections; and that from both, especially with his assistance, the two lads would derive sufficient precepts of true religion and virtue. If the event happened contrary to his expectations, this possibly proceeded from some fault in the plan itself; which the reader hath my leave to discover, if he can: for we do not pretend to introduce any infallible characters into this history; where we hope nothing will be found which hath never yet been seen in human nature.
To return therefore: the reader will not, I think, wonder that the different behaviour of the two lads above commemorated, produced the different effects of which he hath already seen some instance; and besides this, there was another reason for the conduct of the philosopher and the pedagogue; but this being matter of great importance, we shall reveal it in the next chapter.
