UK Train Travels with Victoria: Bristol
Bridges and Balloons Jun 13 2017
Bristol is one of the UK's most vibrant cities. Surrounded by the the hills and countryside of South West England, it has the perfect blend of culture mixed with nature. The city is historically famous for its rich maritime history, but nowadays Bristol is a hotbed for artists, activists, and the green movement.

To celebrate Expedia's new feature that allows you to book UK train travel, it's the first city to be covered in our new video series, 'UK Train Travels with Victoria'. The video also features tips from local blogger Lori at Wild and Grizzly.
Here are some of the best things to do in Bristol.
Explore the city's maritime history
Bristol has a rich maritime history and there are plenty of ways to explore this in the city. Visit the ground breaking SS Great Britain, designed by Victorian engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and said to be one of the most important historic ships in the world. You can also visit The Matthew, a replica of the English ship that discovered North America in 1497. If you're lucky, you might also see the Matthew sailing down the river, or even better, take a trip yourself. Both the Matthew and the SS Great Britain are down by the waterfront. And while there, you can also visit the M Shed, a museum all about Bristol, including its maritime history.
See the view from Cabot Tower
The best view of Bristol can be found from Cabot Tower, at the centre of Brandon Hill Park. It affords beautiful views across the harbour and the centre of town, all the way out to the surrounding countryside. The tower is free to enter.
Take the family to the Aquarium
Bristol has plenty of family-friendly activities, but one of the best attractions is the aquarium in the centre of town. There's also the renowned Bristol Zoo, and the At Bristol Science Centre, which is filled with fun, interactive exhibits.
Wander Clifton Village
Clifton Village is one of the prettiest spots in Bristol, and true to its name, it has a lovely village-feel. Clifton is filled with cafes, boutiques and restaurants, and it's also a great place to see some of the city's Georgian architecture. Don't miss the impressive Royal York Crescent.
Be wowed by the Suspension Bridge
Bristol's most iconic sight is the Clifton suspension bridge, perched in a spectacular setting, high above the Avon Gorge. Also designed by Brunel, it's one of the jewels in Bristol's crown and a must for any visit to the city.
Get a taste of the countryside
Bristol has countryside in every direction, but for a taste just moments from the city, Leigh Woods or Ashton Court are excellent options. To get there, just cross the suspension bridge. Both are perfect for walks, and Ashton Court also often hosts events, like the annual Balloon Fiesta, and is home to a 18-hole golf course.
Discover the city's street art
Bristol is the home of Banksy, and you can see a few of his original pieces around the city. Even without Banksy, Bristol has an impressive array of street art, from graffiti to huge murals. You can do a street art tour, or head to Stokes Croft and the surrounding area to explore some for yourself.
Enjoy Bristol's food scene
The food scene in Bristol grows every year, and has something to suit every taste, from perfect pizzas to organic, locally sourced tapas. Down by the waterfront, Wapping Wharf is a new foodie hub, which is home to Cargo, a collection of shipping containers housing all kinds of different restaurants and bars. Other favourites include Bosco Pizzeria, Little Victories and Poco.
Sample the city's nightlife
As the birthplace of drum and bass, Bristol is famous for its nightlife. But if clubs aren't your thing, there are plenty of other options too. Go to The Bristol Old Vic or the Tobacco Factory for some theatre, Colton Hall for live music, or try one of the many speakeasy bars that Bristol is becoming well-known for. A favourite option is the Psychopomp Gin Distillery, which doubles as a bar.

Education: Jason received a Computer Science Degree from VCU.
Resume and Job Description: Before Shaw Jason worked for Circuit City as an application developer working on a new point of sale application. Jason joined Shaw in July 2004 and is currently a senior software developer for our SPECTRUM software products.
Rave Review: "In my 15+ years working with Shaw Systems, I have worked with Jason on a variety of projects. Among Jason's great technical talents (and there are many), he is thoughtful, attentive, friendly, and funny, even under the most stressful of circumstances. Jason is one of the original architects and developers of the SPECTRUM user interface. He has always designed and delivered solid code solutions no matter what project he is working on. Recently, I have had the pleasure of working directly with Jason on the architecture team where I can more easily see his significant contributions to the SPECTRUM application and to Shaw's customers. Jason is truly a phenomenal individual who adds significant value to Spectrum in many, many ways." Says Jason's manager, Jeff Shultz.
Family and Interests: Jason has two siblings, Aaron and Eric. Eric passed away this year after a fight with brain cancer which was really tough, but his family here at Shaw has really helped him through that. This year marks the 10th year of marriage to his wife Laura with whom he has two children Leah (7) and Luke (2). He spends as much time with them as he possibly can. He particularly enjoys the driveway T-Ball pickup games. He loves watching and playing sports. His favorite sports are baseball and football. He is a gym rat and enjoys technology (shiny hackable things are interesting to him), the outdoors (camping, hiking, beach), and reading.
Perspective: Jason says: "I really enjoy the diverseness of my job at Shaw. As a senior developer and member of the architecture team I am provided with many opportunities to improve our product offerings. From week to week I find myself working on different functional and technical requirements, providing plenty of challenges to keep things interesting. My focus these days are on integration, build and installer process improvements, and a multitude of web layer improvements.


Melasma is a common skin problem, most often seen in women of color. It causes brown to gray-brown patches on the face. Most people get it on their cheeks, bridge of their nose, forehead, chin and above their upper lip. It also can appear on other sun-exposed parts of the body, such as the forearms and neck.
Sun exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun stimulates the melanocytes. In fact, just a small amount of sun exposure can make melasma return after fading. Sun exposure is why melasma is typically worse in summer. It is also the main reason people with melasma have frequent recurrences.
A change in hormones: Pregnant women often get melasma. When melasma appears in the pregnant patient, it is called chloasma, or the mask of pregnancy. Birth control pills and hormone replacement medicine may also trigger melasma.
The most important treatment for melasma is a daily sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB with an SPF of 30 or higher. Affected patients should consider alternates to hormonal contraception and irritating skin products should be discontinued. The most popular treatment is with a topical bleaching cream that contains hydroquinone or with compound products that also include a mild corticosteroid and a retinoid. In some patients, chemical peels and laser therapies may be recommended to accelerate improvement. It is important to remember that even minimal exposure to ultraviolet light can cause melasma to recur.


Our attention to detail does not stop at aesthetics and design. Anemi Hotel's facilities have been developed to make you feel like you are at home.
Our professional staff will be happy to assist you with anything you need, always with respect to privacy and discreteness.

Phonetician
English Phonetics and Phonology; English Pronouncing Dictionary, eds. 15–18
peterroach.net
Peter John Roach (born 30 June 1943) is a British retired phonetician. He taught at the Universities of Leeds and Reading, and is best known for his work on the pronunciation of British English. [1]
5 Selected publications
Peter Roach studied Classics at the Priory Grammar School for Boys, Shrewsbury. At Oxford University ( Brasenose College, 1962–1966) he took Classical Honour Moderations before graduating in psychology and philosophy (PPP). He studied teaching English overseas at Manchester University then went on to University College London to take a postgraduate course in phonetics. Later, while a lecturer at the University of Reading, he completed a PhD which was awarded in 1978.
From 1968 to 1978 he was Lecturer in Phonetics at the University of Reading, UK, and for the academic year 1975–1976 was Profesor Encargado de Curso in the Department of English at the University of Seville, Spain, on leave from Reading University. He moved to the University of Leeds in 1978, initially as Senior Lecturer in Phonetics. Subsequently, after moving to the Department of Psychology, he was appointed Professor of Cognitive Psychology. He returned to the University of Reading in 1994 as Professor of Phonetics, later becoming head of the School of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies. He retired in 2004 with the title of Emeritus Professor of Phonetics.
His best-known publication is English Phonetics and Phonology (C.U.P.). The book was first published in 1983 [2] [3] and is now in its 4th edition (2009). An enhanced e-book edition was published in 2013. [4] He has been the principal editor of the Cambridge English Pronouncing Dictionary for all editions from the 15th (1997) to the current 18th (2011) [5] [6] which is also published in CD-ROM format [7] and an Apple app. [8] Other books include Phonetics (OUP, 2001), in the series 'Oxford Introductions to Language Study', and Introducing Phonetics (Penguin, 1992). Since the latter became out of print, Roach has made it available in PDF format on the internet as A Little Encyclopaedia of Phonetics. [9] He has published a large number of research papers and been an invited speaker in fifteen countries.
He has held a number of grants for speech research. He was principal investigator of the ESRC-funded project that resulted in the MARSEC machine-readable version of the Spoken English Corpus, and was project director of the European-funded project that produced the BABEL multi-language speech corpus. He was a partner in the European project SPECO that produced a computer-based training system to improve deaf children's speech.

Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried claims he committed no fraud
Striking a contrite tone, former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried said he "didn't do a good job" at upholding his responsibilities to regulators, customers, and investors in a hotly anticipated conversation with CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin at the Dealbook Summit.
Bankman-Fried's FTX imploded in mid-November after Coindesk reported irregularities in the company's balance sheets. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Delaware on Nov. 11.

Why Cathie Wood thinks bitcoin will still hit $1 million by 2030 and benefit from the FTX collapse
"I didn't ever try to commit fraud on anyone," Bankman-Fried said. "I saw it as a thriving business and I was shocked by what happened this month."
"I've had a bad month," Bankman-Fried added later.
"We completely failed on risk," Bankman-Fried continued. "That feels pretty embarrassing, in retrospect."
Bankman-Fried appeared by video feed from the Bahamas, Sorkin said. "I've been in the Bahamas for the last year," Bankman-Fried said when asked about why he remained in the island nation.
Sorkin asked Bankman-Fried what motivated his acquisitions in the crypto industry, given the size of Alameda's borrowing from companies Bankman-Fried intended to acquire.
Bankman-Fried claimed that he believed that by the middle of 2022, Alameda had repaid all lines of credit to various borrowing desks. But Alameda still owes BlockFi over $670 million, according to court filings.
"What are your lawyers telling you right now? Are they suggesting it's a good idea for you to be speaking?" Sorkin asked the former billionaire.
"No, they're very much not."
"The time that I really knew there was a problem was November 6," Bankman-Fried said, after Alameda's sizable FTT position was exposed by Coindesk. "When we looked at that, there was a potential serious problem."
"Alameda had taken a huge hit" by that point. "We were seeing a run on the bank start," Bankman-Fried said.
"I was nervous [when] the Alameda balance sheet" was exposed by Coindesk, Bankman-Fried said, but expected the damage was going to be limited to Alameda, not an "existential" crisis for FTX.
Sorkin asked Bankman-Fried why FTX and Bankman-Fried even had access to customer money.
"I wasn't running Alameda, I didn't know exactly what was going on, I didn't know the size of their position," Bankman-Fried said. "A lot of these are things I've learned over the last month [in the days leading up to bankruptcy.]"
New leadership at FTX said that Bankman-Fried exercised significant control over the entire empire.
Sorkin pressed Bankman-Fried on Alameda's gambling on questionable cryptocurrencies, reading a letter out from an investor who lost his life savings of $2 million.
"The U.S. platform is fully solvent and funded," Bankman-Fried claimed. "I believe withdrawals could be opened up today and be made whole."
"Can I ask you about the drugs?" Sorkin said. "It's funny hearing this. I have half a glass of alcohol a year," Bankman-Fried responded.
The FTX founder repudiated claims of wild partying and off-label drug use, saying that FTX functions consisted of "board games," or "dinner parties."
Bankman-Fried claimed he was unaware of the Alameda exposure. In 2019, he said, 40% of FTX's volume was from Alameda. By 2022, Bankman-Fried claimed, that number was down to 2%, which led him to believe that FTX's exposure was lessened.
Sorkin continued to press Bankman-Fried on the lending of customer assets. Bankman-Fried demurred.
"In 2018, FTX didn't have bank accounts," Bankman-Fried said as justification for why users were asked to wire funds to an account in Alameda's name instead of directly to FTX.
Bankman-Fried has engaged with the media only sporadically. "F*** regulators," he told a Vox reporter in a Twitter message.
"I f***** up," he wrote in another Tweet.
FTX was once hailed as the poster child of responsible crypto. Regulators and lawmakers looked to Bankman-Fried as the future of crypto regulation, a reputation that Bankman-Fried cultivated through appearances before Congress and deepened through generous political contributions.
Bankman-Fried was already known as one of the largest donors to Democratic candidates. He claimed in a recent interview that he gave equally generously to Republican causes, through so-called "dark pool" contributions.
Reporters, Bankman-Fried said, "freak the f*** out if you donate to Republicans."

There is no shortage of legal issues related to these animals, and these issues reach almost every corner of campus. For instance, there may be conflicts between those who need assistance animals and service animals, and students who do not prefer their presence or have their own health-based reason, like allergies, legitimizing why they cannot be around a particular animal. Understanding these important issues will help ensure that institutions are inclusive while avoiding litigation and government-enforcement actions.
Like all disability-related inquiries, evaluating requests for assistance animals and service animals requires careful consideration based on seemingly flexible legal principles. There are few hard-and-fast rules in this area of the law, which can make administrators' jobs all the more challenging.
In this webinar, we hope to help administrators and their in-house legal counsel ease the challenges concerning assistance animals and service animals—particularly as they relate to students. This webinar will answer the following key questions, among others:
How much discretion does my institution have in limiting, or even prohibiting, assistance animals or service animals?
What are some tips and best practices related to processing and evaluating requests for assistance animals and service animals while ensuring compliance with the law?
What about students who are allergic to or fearful of another student's assistance animal or service animal? Are their rights protected?
Please join us for this one-hour educational webinar on April 25. We look forward to seeing you.
Time: 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time
Where: Virtual Webinar; Webinar access information will be shared with registered attendees prior to the program.

This Step Into Reading Level 4 Biography Reader shares the inspiring story of Malala Yousafzai, the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Even as a young girl in Pakistan, Malala spoke up about the importance of girls' education, via speeches and a blog. Since the Taliban regime was intent on denying girls an education and silencing anyone who disagreed with their laws, this was very dangerous.
Malala was shot, but she survived the attack and it did not silence her. In fact, she spoke at the United Nations on her sixteenth birthday, just nine months after she was shot. Malala's resolve has only magnified her voice, delivering her message of human rights to millions of people.

The Switch includes such features as mouse and keyboard emulation, to ensure smooth boot up and operation, as well as hot key functionality so you can switch ports easily through simple keyboard commands. The unit supports high-quality video resolution of up to 1920x1440@65Hz (through a 200MHz video bandwidth) when used with the included coaxial VGA cabling. Its auto-scanning functionality, LED indicators, and PC99 color connectors make operation and organization easy.PRODUCT FEATURES:Includes two 6 ft. OmniView KVM Cables Kits;Supports video resolution of up to 1920x1440@65Hz;Supports multiple operating systems;Features hot key switching;Includes automatic scanning function;Offers keyboard and mouse emulation;Requires no power supply.
At work, I had to find a solution for allowing a laptop user and a desktop PC share the same desk. This KVM is perfect for this. I like the Belkin KVM as it has an actual button to change between the laptop docking station and the Desktop PC. Since multiple people use this desktop, this button saves time and is self explanatory. Try leaving a note for a new user on how to use keyboard commands to change the KVM - not an ideal situation! Belkin is a great company and this is another solid product that I expect years of service from.
I have had one of these in service for over 5 years. I bought this one to handle dual displays for two computers. I will use it in conjunction with the other belkin I currently own. In this home office space, I think Belkin products do a fine job. These switches have PS/2 keyboard and mouse connections which fit my personal situation nicely.

Q: Strange json.decoder.JSONDecodeError in spite of correct JSON I'm using json.loads in order to convert a list in a string to a list. (The list gets converted to a string during data transfer). I am receiving the exception: json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 43 (char 42).
Essentially, the code goes as follows:
...

string_list = [["select", "What is your age?", [{"18+": True}, {"Below 18": False}], {"boolean": True}, {"application": ["basic", "all"]}, "age"], "18+", True]

replaced_str = str(string_list).replace("'",'"')

data = json.loads(replaced_str)

return data

...

The odd thing is, this list:
[["text", "What is your name?", {"question_application": ["basic", "all"]}], "utetwo"]

Works perfectly.
Here is the full error traceback:

Chapters Nineteen to Twenty-two
19. GÖRING SENDS HIS REGARDS
Both Gaffer and Gran were of a mind that Will would be much safer in the countryside. He wouldn't have to take the gamble of random placement of the national programmes. Will's great-uncle, Fred Maskall, worked a farm in the Weald and letters had already been exchanged so they knew Will would be welcomed there. Mum was dead set against it though. She expected the Jerries to invade any day now and would rather be close to her son when that happened. If the Jerries got a foothold they would no doubt sweep further inland towards London in which case Fred Maskall's farm offered as much safety as Brighton did. Will had no intention of leaving Brighton either, everything he knew was here and a farm in the countryside held little appeal to him. The matter had been left unsettled.
Will and Jamie met up early the next morning to head to Dyke Road Park in the hope of seeing the ack-ack guns in action. They had more than half of a bag of bull's eyes left so were adequately provisioned with sweets. The action started as soon as they reached Dyke Road Park for a damaged Heinkel 111 was struggling seawards over Hove at 2,000 feet. It was escorted by two Messerschmitt 109s but the Spitfires which appeared ignored the fighters and converged on the Heinkel. Will and Jamie began to cheer but choked back the sound when the Spitfires collided and suddenly fell away leaving a trail of wing parts in their wake. The Heinkel made its escape and Will and Jamie watched appalled as the damaged Spitfires plummeted downwards like bricks towards the rooftops of Portslade, west of Hove. It all happened in a matter of seconds and there was no time for the pilots to make an escape from the stricken aircraft.
Suddenly viewing the air war from front row seats at Dyke Road Park lost its appeal and in unspoken agreement the boys departed, wandering rather aimlessly down the Dyke Road towards the sea front. They were wary for the air raid warnings seemed to be sounding continuously and there was a lot of activity in the air as planes crossed and re-crossed the coastline, far more than had already become usual. Becoming curious again the boys agreed to go to St Nicholas Church for it was placed on a hilltop which would give them a wide view over the town.
They were just about to turn into Church Street when the sound of a low flying aircraft just overhead caused them to spin around. The boys recognised the airplane straight away; the stub beetle eyed glass nose of the Junkers Ju 88 twin engine bomber was unmistakable and the plane was close enough to discern the pilot's head behind the glass of the cockpit dome. His expression they could imagine for the aircraft was trailing smoke and both engines were coughing and spitting.
The crippled plane made a sudden dive just as it passed Will and Jamie and then struck a lamp post before hurling itself into the wall that bound the churchyard about forty feet away. Will threw himself to the ground as did Jamie. Will expected the almighty bang that followed but what struck him most were the ear-shattering screams of metal being sheared apart almost as if the airplane was a living creature that was rent asunder. He felt a warm blast of air pass over him as the shattered plane exploded into flame, filling his vision with a fiery yellow sheet and then incongruously vivid green lights as the plane's flares ignited one after the other. The roar of the fire was added to by multiple sequels of sharp cracks as ammunition ignited and Will kept his head low. Something small and black skidded to a halt right beside Will and he touched it to establish if it was burning hot. It was just warm and he absentmindedly stuck it into his pocket.
When the worst seemed to be over he scrambled to his feet, dazed by the violence of the moment which had banished the clear bright summer's day and replaced it with a dark smoky haze. Slowly he and Jamie walked forwards. The street was littered with debris, including one of the landing wheels. The engine had come to a stop against the broken churchyard wall and they could see that the tail section of the plane and parts of the fuselage had fallen beyond amidst the tombstones in the cemetery where many headstones had been knocked over and broken. Many parts of the wreck were burning fiercely.
Will stared wide-eyed at a tree on the opposite side of the road. It's branches were now garnished with torn remnants of a parachute amidst which swung the body of the Jerry pilot in a German flight suit, jagged slivers of metal protruding from his bleeding chest just below his Iron Cross and sightless eyes staring at his burning aircraft.
The boys ducked again as new rounds of ammunition started to pop off. Firemen and ARP personnel now rushed down the street. The firemen didn't hesitate when they heard the exploding ammunition and came dangerously close to the burning wreckage to extinguish it. One of the Wardens took a gentle hold of the boys and led them back down Church Street.
"Far too dangerous lads," she said kindly. "Ammo going off and the bloody thing might still have bombs in it."
Will and Jamie were too dazed to protest and let themselves be led away along Dyke Road and then directed towards North Street. They walked silently, still overwhelmed and occasionally looking behind them at the smoke billowing up from St Nicholas Church. Will was haunted by the sight of the dead Luftwaffe pilot; he had never seen a corpse before. Let alone a dead German enemy. It was very different from the glorious daydreams he had of using his catapult to take pot shots at Wehrmacht troopers who dared to invade his beach.
Jamie was subdued too and for a long time they were quiet. When they reached the Steine Gardens they both turned left towards the seafront. They wandered past the inaccessible entrances of the Palace Pier and the Aquarium till they had followed the Marine Parade to the characteristic seafront verandas of the Royal Crescent Mansions with their curved metal roofs and cast iron railings. There they heard the rumble of approaching aircraft again.
Suddenly an insect like Dornier Do 17 bomber thundered seawards over their heads, its bulbous head at odds with the rest of its sleek figure that ended in fragile looking twin tail fins. Two RAF fighters pursued it, Will recognised the hump-backed silhouette of Hawker Hurricanes and for a moment the dead German pilot was forgotten as both he and Jamie shook their fists at the Dornier and cheered on the Hurricanes.
The Dornier made its escape when four Messerschmitt Bf110 three seat strategic fighters streaked in from the Channel to intercept the English planes at top speed. Even though they outnumbered the Hurricanes neither the boys nor the Hurricane pilots seemed worried for the Bf110s were no match for Hurricanes or Spitfires in a dog fight. The RAF pilots dodged and evaded the incoming fire from the Bf110s and then skilfully forced two of their opponents into making turns where their slow and wide turning circles made them vulnerable to the well-judged bursts of machine gun fire from the Hurricanes.
It was over in moments, one of the Bf110's splashed into the sea, the three others high-tailed it back to France behind the now distant Dornier, one of them trailing smoke. However, one of the Hurricanes had been hit by a parting burst of German fire. Instead of following its partner into an ascent it headed straight back to the coast, its engine spluttering and the plane dropping in altitude as it approached.
To Will's surprise the defense batteries opened fire on it.
"NOOOO!" Will and Jamie shouted desperately as they saw the Hurricane shudder under the impact of incoming fire.
The plane followed an erratic course over the seafront buildings to the east, trailing smoke now and Will and Jamie ran to follow it inland even though there was no way they could keep up with it. They could still hear the thud of the impact though and arrived at the end of College Place to find a smashed rooftop of a house from which the tail section of the Hurricane protruded.
A solitary Warden stood in front of the house, visibly shaken.
"Saw it happen," he told the boys unasked. "He was trying to get to the college playing grounds to avoid the houses. Didn't make it."
Will and Jamie stared at the battered roof and tail of the plane. The Nazis seemed to have been really pressing home the attack this day. So far RAF losses had been tallied in the papers where they were just numbers which were generally cause for satisfaction because the Luftwaffe numbers were almost always higher. Today those tallies had been translated into...something different. It was a sober realisation.
They sat down on the pavement staring at the Hurricane's tail. Will sighed and put his hands into his pockets where he encountered an unfamiliar object. He recalled picking something up at St Nicholas and he took it out of his pocket. It was a very simple leather wallet without inner pockets, a little bit like a book cover really and fine workmanship too.
"Whatcha got?" Jamie was curious.
"I dunno, picked it up at St Nicholas. After the crash."
He opened it and saw a small photograph and a banknote.
"BLOODY HELL!" Jamie's eyes grew wide and he grinned from ear to ear.
Will took a closer look, ignoring the banknote for it was the photograph which intrigued him. It was a small portrait photo with white edges, the subject was a beautiful young woman. She reminded Will of that actress Nova Pilbeam he had seen in a Hitchcock picture, on account of her large round eyes and dainty lips which combined to give her a smouldering look that made his heart beat faster. He turned it around to look at words penned down in elegant handwriting.
Felix. Komm bald wieder und sei vorsichtig! Ich liebe dich. B.
"It's German!" Will exclaimed.
"It bleeding well is, look at that money!" Jamie was over the moon. "Must have been that pilot's."
Will picked up the banknote to examine it.
The language was strange and the letters printed in some sort of gothic style. There was a '20' in the left corner, and a picture of a woman holding a flower in front of mountain tops on the right side of the note. Will stared at the lettering: Reichsbanknote. Zwanzig Reichsmark. There was a grey swastika behind the smaller lettering and an eagle astride a swastika below it.
"Can I see?" Jamie was nearly jumping up and down.
Will held up both his hands; the picture in one and the banknote in the other.
Jamie took the banknote and Will was relieved. He looked back at the handwriting on the back of the photograph. So the pilot had been called Felix. And he had a sweetheart. Will turned the photograph over and lost himself in those big brown eyes. Then he carefully put the photograph back in the wallet and closed it.
"Hang on, don't forget the banknote," Jamie said.
Will looked at him with a smile.
"Keep it Jamie, it's yours."
Jamie's mouth fell open.
"You sure?" He asked wide-eyed.
Will nodded happily. He had no idea what 20 Reichsmarks were worth, it sounded like a lot, but he doubted he would be able to buy sweets with it in Brighton. It felt good giving it to Jamie who was clearly taken with it. They agreed this material was top-secret to be hidden from all but Mr. Hall and Gaffer and then headed home.
20. LONDON IS BURNING
Gaffer had abandoned his position on the cellar stairs, insisting that Will too remain beneath the makeshift shelter of the strengthened tables. Late on Sunday night the air raid warnings had started their ominous wailing once again and it soon became clear this wasn't a clash between night fighters attacking or defending a formation of bombers headed for other targets in England. This time Brighton faced a full aerial attack.
The night's assault on the town wasn't carried out by large formations of bombers but throughout the night they could hear the heavy rumbling of bomber engines followed by the whistle and crump of bombs being released, sometimes far off and at other times close enough to feel the cellar tremble on impact. A new unknown sound was added which puzzled the cellar's inhabitants, that of thuds as if solid steel bars were being dropped on the rooftops and streets.
Gaffer took Will outside onto Ashton Street during a lull between the air raid warnings and they were greeted by the spectacle of hundreds of small bright fires coloured red, green, blue, yellow or orange.
"Incendiary bombs," Gaffer growled.
They could see ARP people around some of the closer incendiaries trying to extinguish them. Occasionally one would suddenly erupt into a small fireball as it exploded and Gaffer told Will that some of the incendiaries would have been packed with explosives and delayed trigger mechanisms as well. Will looked at the ARP workers with renewed respect for surely they must have been aware of the dangers of being obliterated by one of the explosive varieties. Fires large and small could be seen throughout the town where the incendiary bombs had set rooftops alight though some of the larger fires could also be the result of the high-explosive bombs which had been dropped as well.
"Draw out people first, with the fire bombs, then drop the heavies," Gaffer grunted with disgust. "One thing to do it on the battlefield, another to do it in a town filled with civilians. Damn Nazis."
The air raid warning sounded once again and Gaffer herded Will back into the cellar.
On their way to school the next morning Will and Jamie passed a street where one of the high-explosive bombs had struck. The sudden gap in a row of terraced houses was a surreal sight. Two houses were gone in their entirety whilst the houses to either side were badly damaged and seemed uninhabitable. One had its front wall blown away though oddly enough the now exposed interior of the house was unaffected, the table near the former wall still held a glass vase with a flower in it.
There wasn't a house left in the street with intact windows and tens of thousands of shards of glass crunched beneath their feet as they walked along the street. Firemen were just clearing up their gear and an ARP Warden encouraged Will and Jamie to keep walking, there were many of them there cordoning off the area around the damaged and missing houses.
Will, Gaffer, Mr. Hall and Jamie had walked up to the top of Richmond Street as had others from the immediate surroundings. It was the beginning of September and the evening of Black Saturday. After the incendiary bombings there had been a lull in Luftwaffe activities in Brighton with far less air raid warning interruptions than they had got used to. This evening however, it became clear that the Nazis had not yet given up the hope of a victory in the air. Late in the afternoon it had seemed as if it had been business as usual again, with high flying formations of bombers drawing the attention of RAF fighters but as it had become evening there seemed to be no end to it as wave after wave of bombers crossed the Sussex coast heading north, or left English airspace again to return to their French bases.
The BBC had reported that hundreds of bombers had attacked London's East End. Civil defense services fought the fires that were spreading. But those first attacks had taken place in the late afternoon and now, more than six hours later, waves of bombers were still crossing the coast line and heading for London. The rumour repeated atop Richmond Street was that even Brighton had been requested to send fire fighters to the beleaguered capital. This was cause for pride but then worry; as it became dark there were gasps and curses and prayers all around Will. A good deal of the northern horizon remained light, eerily orange and though it was hard to believe there could only be one explanation for that glow which even now was guiding another formation of German bombers to their target.
London was burning.
"God help those poor souls in London tonight," Gaffer said loudly.
"Amen," Mr. Hall replied.
21. SWEETS, SWEETS EVERYWHERE
Will looked outside the classroom window to see if he could spot vapour trails in the bright blue sky. It was harder than usual to focus on the lesson that was being taught; even the teachers seemed on edge these days. A certain fatigue had set in, mainly caused by the incessant air raid warnings which never did allow for a distinction between the continued aerial brawling between RAF and Luftwaffe fighters and the advent of immediate and present danger in the form of Heinkels, Junkers or Dorniers coming in on an approach run.
Ever since the Luftwaffe had switched its focus to civilian targets, coastal towns like Brighton seemed to have become the most logical place for returning bombers to release left-over bombs on their way back to France and there had been a marked increase in sporadic episodes of death and destruction across town. Tales of miraculous escapes or tragic deaths were told again and again. Added to this were stories of the hellish conditions in London which was being hit night after night as well as increased invasion fears. Folk had become nervous and jittery although everybody persisted in carrying on their daily business as usual, for the determination not to be intimidated by the Nazis only increased.
The sound of a low flying aircraft received instant collective focus in the classroom. There had been no air raid warning but just about everybody had learned the fallacy of relying on the wailing sirens. Will's mouth dropped open as he saw a Junkers Ju88 which appeared to be flying straight towards the school and his eyes widened when he saw the bomb bay doors swing open. Mr. Hutchinson saw it too.
"DOWN!" Under your desks now, hands behind your necks! Down!" He hollered.
Will realised there was no time to run to the trenches outside and dived underneath his desk. He could have used his bloody helmet now, he thought, but he hadn't been allowed to wear it at school for some unfathomable reason.
He caught Jamie's eye and the two boys grinned reassurance at each other.
They heard the bomber roar over and for what seemed like an eternity nothing seemed to happen as the class awaited the next turn of events in complete silence. Then they heard a loud thud on the other side of school and that was followed by a deafening explosion which was quickly followed by more. The floor trembled, the windows rattled in their panes and the building seemed to shake. Then a large piece of masonry came crashing through the classroom's skylight and shards of glass fell everywhere. Some of the children screamed at that but nobody was seriously hurt.
Soon after the order sounded to assemble and to Will's surprise the teaching staff directed them to the street outside the school rather than the playground area in the back. Flanked by an ARP Deputy Chief Warden the Headmaster explained that the initial thud they had heard was a bomb that had failed to explode and now lay on the playground.
Will sucked in his breath as he realised the implication of an unexploded bomb right next to the school and sure enough the Headmaster told them they were all being sent home for the remainder of the day.
Will and Jamie had a big grin on their faces as they stepped into the day's unexpected freedom. They tried to follow the route the stick of bombs had taken and managed to get some way because thick clouds of smoke obscured them from the sight of fire fighters and ARP personnel who came rushing into the area. Glass crunched below their feet and there was rubble everywhere, as well as drifting scraps of paper and ashes. Jamie spotted a bomb fragment and tried to pick it up but let go immediately.
"Too bleeding hot," he told Will regretfully.
Will's heart stopped when they saw an arm and leg protruding from what was left of a shop front but Jamie laughed at him and told him they were parts of the mannequins which had been in the display windows. Not much further though they encountered a man covered in blood sitting on the pavement and groaning while he was being attended to by two friends.
Things became more grim when they saw a dazed survivor stumble out of the smoke bleeding profusely from a head wound after which two ARP staff ran by bearing a stretcher. The woman on it had terrible gashes on her face and an arm which was barely recognisable because fist sized chunks of flesh had been torn out of it.
Jamie grabbed Will and pulled him into a twitten.
"Let's leave here," he suggested and Will agreed. He was relieved for the sight of the wounded woman on the stretcher had shocked him and he recalled what his Gaffer had told him about the sort of sights he could expect to see immediately after a bomb had struck.
They walked to a parallel street where there was no smoke and their interest was immediately focused on groups of children running down the street in a state of excitement.
"What's going on?" Jamie shouted at one of the boys who was in their class.
"Parsons Confectionary got it Jamie." The boy didn't stop but shouted an answer. "Sweets all over the place, the whole ruddy street filled with sweets!"
Will and Jamie started running immediately. They turned left at the bottom of the street. The actual building was still standing. The last bomb had fallen in the mews behind Parsons Confectionary but the force of the blast had blown most of the content of the ground floor right out onto the street. All of the glass jars seemed to have been shattered and tens of thousands of glass fragments reflected the sunlight thus enhancing the bright colours of the sweets which were truly everywhere just as if the road had been paved with them. Dozens of children were already scrabbling for the sweets, some of them with bleeding hands where the glass had cut them but that didn't stop them. Jamie dashed straight in but Will came to a halt.
"Oh!" was all he could say. This was the sort of thing he daydreamed about sometimes, a town made of sweets like that house in the fairy tale.
Then he saw Mrs. Parsons sitting on the kerb opposite her shop.
He knew she had managed to keep the store running after her husband's death and was always kind. She was one of the few who would sometimes sell ha'penny worth of sweets to the less-well off kids in the area.
Some of the same kids who were now scrambling around laughing excitedly as they tried to sweep up as many free sweets as they could.
"Hullo, Will," a voice suddenly said next to Will. Will glanced sideways and saw Brenda clutching a doll with a cracked face.
"Oh hullo Brenda," he replied absentmindedly.
He looked at Mrs. Parsons again. She seemed to be totally oblivious to the looting of her inventory; she just sat on the kerb and was quietly crying as she took in the devastated interior of her store.
"You feel sorry for Mrs. Parsons too?" Brenda asked shyly.
Will nodded; there was something about the sight of the tearful woman surveying the wreckage of the business her deceased husband had built up that touched him. It did look dreadful in there. The blast had even ripped up the floorboards and deposited these in front of the shop like an uneven pack of shuffled cards.
Will and Brenda crossed the street too, carefully so because of all the debris on the street. Will saw that Mrs. Parsons was hurt some, mostly light cuts caused by flying glass he figured. He came to a stop in front of her but she didn't seem to notice him; just sat there with her hands on her lap, gently rocking as tears flowed down her cheeks. Will didn't know what to do or say. What do you say to someone when they are looking at the destruction of their livelihood? The torn remnants of precious memories?
Brenda led the way; she sat down next to Mrs. Parsons without a word and took one of the old woman's hands into her own. Brenda gave Will an impatient nod and he followed suit, sitting down on Mrs. Parsons' other side and taking her other hand into his. He felt vaguely embarrassed at first and hoped the other lads wouldn't see. When he saw that they were far too busy scooping up their booty to even notice anything else he suddenly couldn't care less about their opinion.
They sat there for a long time, the boy, girl and shopkeeper; for the ARP and other emergency services had their hands full with the seven explosions which had rocked the streets behind Parsons Confectionary.
The helmets showed the variety of personnel involved. A man with a white helmet with a black 'W' on it – Will knew this was a District Warden – directed the other Wardens in forming a cordon around the entry to the street which led to the places where the bombs had impacted. The rescue 'R' and ambulance 'A' helmeted workers were the ones moving up that street just as the fire fighters were. There were a number of police constables as well and a few lucky older kids who carried the white 'M' on their black helmets and arrived on their bicycles. These were the messengers who would convey messages between a site like this and whatever local ARP post was co-ordinating the response. Will had applied to become a messenger but had been told he was too young and ownership of a bicycle was a prerequisite too.
Neither of the children spoke till at last a concerned Warden approached the three and motioned some of her colleagues over.
"Let's get you to a shelter dear," she told Mrs. Parsons. "A nice hot cup of tea will do you good. With some extra sugar for the shock."
"Thank you, children," Mrs. Parsons said softly as she was helped up.
Brenda looked at Will inquiringly after Mrs. Parsons had been led away. Will felt his eyes water and cursed himself for being soft. Without a word he turned and ran away.
22. THE GHOST COMES HOME
Though many might have despaired in private moments Brightonians made a point of carrying on. To give up was to accept defeat at the hands of the Nazis. These had shown their true face now. Strafing children on busy streets and parcelling out death and destruction willy-nilly were not tactics to be honoured by lowering the head in submission. If the Jerries wanted a surrender they had better sail over and jolly well walk up the beaches and ask for it in person. Even then they would find this a tedious business. The Dutch, Belgian and French citizens hadn't been prepared, people told each other. Their loss had been Britain's gain for all now knew what treatment they could expect if there was an invasion. There was a grim stubborn determination to show the Germans what it meant when folk said "Sussex wun't be druv." Even an old war veteran in long johns armed with a shotgun and a small boy in pyjamas armed with a catapult might be able to take out at least one well trained parachutist between them.
Will just hoped that the parachutist wouldn't be carrying a picture of a German sweetheart on him. Like the one that had belonged to Felix, the dead Luftwaffe pilot he had seen hanging in the tree at St Nicholas Church. It had started to worry him.
Komm bald wieder und sei vorsichtig! Ich liebe dich.
Gaffer had translated it for him. Come back soon, be careful. I love you.
It was probably a sign that the chap wasn't quite like all the other Jerry thugs, Will had decided. Nobody could write a message like that to a monster. That brought a new worry.
He decided to ask Gaffer about it. Indirectly of course, Gaffer mustn't start to doubt Will's patriotism.
"Gaffer?"
Gaffer looked up from the paper he was reading. "Will, my lad?"
"In the war, the Great War…," Will paused. Gaffer nodded for him to continue. "The Huns who were shelling you, did you think they were…all evil?"
Gaffer seemed to understand what he was asking. "Most of them were just doing their job, Will. The prisoners I saw sometimes, being led to the rear, they seemed like ordinary blokes to me."
"But they were trying to kill you," Will pointed out.
"Refusing to obey an order warranted the death penalty, Will," Gaffer said slowly. "You would be shot."
"The Huns did that?"
"The English did too," Gaffer said quietly. Then he turned back to the newspaper. He didn't like to talk about the Great War.
Will was speechless anyway. He could not believe the British had executed their own soldiers. They were the good side, weren't they? Gaffer wouldn't lie though.
War was clearly more complicated than Will had anticipated.
For the Terrible Trio carrying on as normal meant going to the pictures. Mr. Hall treated the lads to Dark Command in August. They all liked westerns and to see John Wayne and Roy Rogers play in the same movie was a treat. Will also liked the Civil War setting, he had a crazy longing to one day own a US cavalry man outfit, the neat yellow stripe down the sides of the light blue trousers and a dusty dark blue military coat would suit him, he reckoned. He saw himself charging down the racetrack hill on horseback waving a sabre and holding a lance with a white and red striped pennant streaming from it while hapless Wehrmacht soldiers fled in panic in front of him.
All of them conveniently without Ich liebe dich pictures, of course.
At the beginning of September they had gone to see Errol Flynn in The Sea Hawk and that was even better. Swashbucklers were good to begin with of course, especially if Flynn played in them, but the setting of an England threatened with invasion by the Spanish Armada was superb and Will rooted for the English privateer most fervently.
In Mid-September Mr. Hall proposed going to see the comic drama The Ghost Comes Home, declaring that they could all use a laugh. Will and Jamie fully agreed.
"Mum?" Brenda walked out of the kitchen and into their small yard.
"Lend us a hand, please dear," Mum was doing laundry. She was boiling one wash but another was ready for the wringer.
"Mummy!" Eddie called from the kitchen doorway.
Brenda hurried to him, ushered him into the kitchen and shut the door. Eddie wasn't allowed in the yard when a wash was boiled.
Then she helped her mother. Washing was a physically hard chore in all its stages and before too long they were both perspiring.
"It's a good thing ladies don't sweat, isn't it Mum?" Brenda asked cheerfully. "Otherwise I'd feel a bit icky."
"Icky?" Mum raised an eyebrow. "Since when did you start speaking American?"
"I heard it at the pictures," Brenda said. "I wrote it down in my Interesting Word Notebook."
"You and your notebooks," Mum shook her head.
"There's a matinee, this afternoon," Brenda said carefully. "Some friends asked if I wanted to come along."
She had been elated at school when a couple of the girls had asked her to come. She wasn't asked often and hoped fervently that Mum wouldn't give the answer which she dreaded.
"That's nice," Mum said. "I've got just enough change for two tickets. Edward would probably enjoy it too."
Brenda felt her hopes sink. She didn't think the girls would like it if she showed up with Eddie in tow. Or rather, that is what she told herself. Secretly, it would be nice if, just this once, she could go out on her own.
"Mum, can't I go alone?" Brenda said and then quickly added, "with my friends."
Mum looked at her, "I am working this afternoon. Till late. Your dad is on a late shift as well. Edward is your brother. Do you propose leaving him on his own? Who will make his tea?"
Brenda bowed her head.
"I am sorry, Brenda," Mum said. "But we all have to do our bit. I am disappointed in you."
"I'll take Eddie," Brenda conceded. It wouldn't be so bad. Eddie could charm just about anyone, the girls might even like him a great deal.
"No," Mum said. "It's too late for that now. You've had your chance. I want you to think this over, very carefully."
They finished the washing in silence. There was tension between them and Brenda didn't like it but neither did she think it was very fair of Mum. She hadn't thought about her parents' shifts, that was true but sometimes it seemed that she never got time to just be on her own for a while.
Later that afternoon, after Mum had left for the RSCH, Eddie came into the living room with The House at Pooh Corner.
"Tigger time," he announced happily. "Tigger, Tigger, Tigger!"
For a very brief moment Brenda felt anger flare up and she wanted to tell him that she didn't want to read to him today. Then she imagined his face if she told him. He wouldn't understand and then he'd be upset. It wasn't his fault.
She forced a smile and nodded. The Hundred Acre Wood awaited. Eeyore, perhaps, would understand how she felt.
Will, Jamie and Mr Hall set off for Kemptown to the matinee at the Odeon Cinema on St George's Road. People called it the 'Titchy' as there was another bigger Odeon in West Street.
None-the-less the auditorium at the Titchy was far from small, it could seat hundreds of people and about 300 –mostly children- filled the auditorium this Saturday afternoon. Mr. Hall had got good seats in the middle of the front stalls.
The show started with newsreels which told terrible tales of atrocities taking place in occupied Europe and were followed by various informative pieces. Will liked the Food Flash this time warning people not to throw away food.
"Bread and money are both worth dough," the man on the screen said and Will smiled.
The next person to appear on the screen was a fat chubby man who said it was generally expected that people in the pictures had S.A. and that he had a very special S.A. The adults and older children laughed, they knew that S.A. stood for Sex Appeal and this man certainly had none of that. He grew more serious and explained that he was making a Spade Appeal in the Dig for Victory campaign. They saw pictures of factory workers and school children growing crops and tending these in their breaks. Will and Jamie shared a glance; they wouldn't mind such a project at school.
Will liked the catch line too. Straight from the plot to the pot!
The next two items were dull. One exhorted everybody to eat more carrots but Will reckoned they already ate more than enough carrots at Ashton Street so didn't really need to be told. The second was called Two Cooks and a Cabbage and was an instructive film for young girls to cook properly when called to do so at home and not ruin good food by being careless. Will and Jamie made a point of yawning loudly.
They paid more attention during a longer dramatization which drove home the message Make do and mend. In it a moth balled suit belonging to a soldier who had gone off to war started talking to the soldier's wife when she took it out for a jaunt down memory lane. Will liked the concept of a talking suit. It would be smashing if his helmet could talk he was sure.
Then the main feature started. It was not bad, Will decided, though he thought the main character Vern just a bit too foolish. The story was interesting though, but when Vern had just come home to find that his family had spent the travel insurance money paid out because he was supposed to have been lost at sea, the movie was suddenly stopped.
The audience let out a collective groan as a familiar message was flashed on the screen.
An AIR RAID WARNING has just been received. The management suggest you remain in the building but anyone desiring to leave is free to do so now. The Performance will continue.
Will sighed as the lights came on. The whole magic of going to the pictures was broken by these interruptions. An alternative reality which formed a short sweet escape from the world out there shattered like a pupil's daydream was rudely obliterated by the sarcastic tongue of a teacher. Nobody left to go outside anyhow; the Luftwaffe could already be sweeping down to strafe the streets again or shrapnel and broken glass could be flying about. After a few minutes the lights were dimmed again and the movie resumed.
Around half past three in the afternoon of Saturday 14 September, a Dornier bomber appeared in the sky over Brighton. It had been split off from its squadron by a Spitfire which was chasing it. In order to facilitate its escape the pilot decided to jettison its full load of bombs. Twenty 110 pound bombs rained down on Kemptown. They hit Edward Street, Upper Rock Gardens, Hereford Street, Upper Bedford Street, Rock Street and Kemp Town Place. One of the bombs headed for St George's Road and scored a direct hit on the Odeon Cinema.
Suddenly there was a loud rattling on the roof of the cinema. Will looked up and started to frown but then there was an almighty crash as parts of the ceiling came down to his right. This was followed by a tumultuous explosion which lit up the darkened auditorium like fiery lightning. Will's face felt as if had received a nasty sun-burn in a fraction of a second after which his vision went entirely red for a second.
The blast had knocked the air out of Will's lungs and for what seemed like forever he was stunned into immobility and a deafening silence. The smell was awful. When he regained his movement everything he perceived seemed to be in slow motion and Will had trouble interpreting what he saw. Smoke and dust had filled the auditorium with a murky fog. This was thickest by the right front stalls where it was incongruously penetrated by beams of sunlight which streamed through a massive jagged chasm in the ceiling.
A few figures stumbled from that hellish turmoil of dark smoke and fierce light. Children; a girl clutching the remnants of a shattered arm, a boy trailing shiny blue coils from a gaping hole in his belly. Their mouths were open; they must have been screaming but Will couldn't hear a thing.
He looked sideways at Mr. Hall for reassurance and clarification, but Mr. Hall no longer seemed to have a head on his shoulders so was quite incapable of giving an answer. Someone would have to fix that.
Will wondered if he was deaf because of the blood, his entire head seemed to be soaked in warm liquid and he could feel it pulsing out of him somewhere on the right side of his scalp.
Everything became black and Will passed out.

Deere Sees Stability on Farms in Bruising Trade Fight
CEO John May said the performance "reflected early signs of stabilization in the U.S. farm sector"
By Michelle Chapman	• Published February 21, 2020 • Updated on February 21, 2020 at 12:47 pm
Deere & Co. had a surprisingly strong first quarter after an extended period in which the tractor and construction equipment maker was bruised by the ongoing trade war between the United States and China.
"Farmer confidence, though still subdued, has improved due in part to hopes for a relaxation of trade tensions and higher agricultural exports," CEO John May said in a prepared statement Friday.
China announced Friday that it suspended more punitive tariffs on imports of U.S. industrial goods in response to a truce in its trade war with Washington. Under their "Phase 1" agreement signed in January, Washington agreed to cancel additional tariff hikes and Beijing committed to buy more American farm exports.
China's retaliatory tariffs have clobbered exports of soybeans and other commodities, hurting farmers, and in turn, farming equipment manufacturers.
The Trump administration has provided $27 billion in aid to farmers to ease the pain of his trade war. And in a tweet Friday, he promised to expand the bailout if farmers need it as they await the economic benefits of his recent trade deals with Mexico, Canada and China. He said the aid would be financed by revenue from his tariffs on foreign goods — taxes that are paid by American importers.
IF OUR FORMALLY TARGETED FARMERS NEED ADDITIONAL AID UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE TRADE DEALS WITH CHINA, MEXICO, CANADA AND OTHERS FULLY KICK IN, THAT AID WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, PAID FOR OUT OF THE MASSIVE TARIFF MONEY COMING INTO THE USA!
Deere, based in Moline, Illinois, has posted three consecutive quarters of falling profits and slowing sales growth with trade tensions between the world's two largest economies ongoing.
And it stuck to a conservative outlook for the year.
Deere expects sales in its agriculture-and-turf business to fall between 5% and 10%, and a decline of between for those of the construction-and-forestry segment to fall 10% to 15%.
Like almost all multinational operators, Deere is navigation the virus outbreak in China that has spread elsewhere.
Caterpillar has included a $40 million cost increase to its supply lines, said Chief Financial Officer Ryan Campbell in a conference call Friday.
"When we think about kind of the impacts a and potential impacts of the coronavirus, there's kind of two components that we've mentioned," Campbell said. "One is direct exposure, our sales into the China market. Relatively small for our Ag & Turf business and for our traditional C&F business. Road building, though, has a bigger exposure there, so road building in China will tend to be 10% to 15% of their overall sales. So more of an impact there."
For the three months ended Feb. 2, Deere & Co. earned $517 million, or $1.63 per share. The per-share earnings easily beat the $1.28 that industry analysts had expected, according to a survey by Zacks Investment Research, and it topped last year's quarterly profit of $498 million, or $1.54 per share.
Adjusted revenue — which excludes financial services revenue — was $6.53 billion, also beating Wall Street's estimate of $6.2 billion.
Shares of Deere & Co. jumped 8% Friday.

Where does the PUBG Mobile monster truck take off?
bercemsultankaya
Do you know where you can find the monster truck that has attracted the attention of players since it was added to PUBG Mobile?
Details about the monster truck, one of the exciting developments of PUBG Mobile, are in our content.
In this content we have prepared for those who wonder where the PUBG Mobile monster truck comes out, we explained where you can find the monster truck and all the details. The monster truck, which was added to the game with the latest update, has managed to impress many players with its appearance and features.
PUBG Mobile Monster Truck Guide
The monster truck, which was added to the game with the Livik map in the latest update of PUBG Mobile and made the players very curious from the moment it was announced, deserves all this attention to the fullest. Because this huge vehicle, which manages to scare the eyes of the players with its huge size, can change the fate of the game.
The monster truck, which is quite different from ordinary vehicles, differs from other vehicles with some of its features.
In this content that we have prepared for those who want to use the monster truck and do not know where to find it, we will talk about where you can find the monster truck more often, while also mentioning the advantages and disadvantages of using this huge vehicle.
The monster truck has certain advantages and disadvantages.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the monster truck?
The monster truck differs from the vehicles in PUBG Mobile by its size. You have the chance to easily pass the places we have touched with this vehicle, which can easily pass sloped and bumpy points, especially with its large wheels. In addition, you can resist the crawling of your vehicle for longer with the monster truck, which has more health than other vehicles. In addition to all these positive features, unfortunately, it is not easy to drive a monster truck. Because big wheels have both advantages and disadvantages. It is not easy to control this giant wheeled vehicle. You should be very careful while driving this car, especially because it can be overturned easily.
Although the location of the monster truck is not clear, it can be found more frequently in Aqueduct, Crab Grass and Power Plant areas.
Where is the monster truck located?
The location of everything in PUBG Mobile varies greatly. Although it is not possible to say that things such as cars, weapons and attachments in the game are definitely found somewhere, it is not a secret that you are likely to find such things more often at some points. This also applies to the monster truck. The monster truck, which is placed completely randomly on the map, can still be found more frequently in Aqueduct, Crab Grass and Power Plant areas. As we mentioned in the previous lines, the location of the vehicle can change every game. However, if you have a goal like finding a monster truck, you can increase your chances of finding it by choosing these three points.
The fact that classic vehicles cannot adapt to the environmental conditions of the new map is one of the biggest reasons for the monster truck being added to the game.
Why was the monster truck added to the game?
Livik map was added to the game with PUBG Mobile 0.19.0 update. The Livik map, which is the smallest map of the game, differs from other maps due to the difficult environmental conditions it has. The presence of a vehicle with features such as a monster truck in this map, where classic vehicles are largely desperate, can make the job of the players a lot easier. In addition, the monster truck, which adds a new color to the game, was very effective in overcoming the banality that occurs automatically after a certain period of time in the game.

Provision of environmental consulting services for an oil and gas asset in a remote northern area of British Columbia. SLR provided land quality technical services to assess the characteristics and extents of the contamination at the site. Petroleum hydrocarbons from condensate liquids and salts from produced waters have been identified across the site in the unconsolidated soils, bedrock and groundwater. The contamination has extended spatially outwards from the site in nearly all directions (situated on a topographic high) with a plume length of approximately 400 m at its longest observed point.
The complex geological conditions, extensiveness of the contaminants, and the remote ecological setting for the site required the collaboration of technical specialists in risk assessment, site assessment, remediation and ecology specialists to help coordinate the assessment and interpret the results.

Liberia's Taylor Resigns and Quits War-Ruined Land
Liberia's President Charles Taylor quit on Monday and flew into exile under pressure from the world community, which hopes his departure will speed an end to violence that has racked West Africa for nearly 14 years. Taylor, accused of stoking conflict in neighboring states as well as at home, left behind a shattered nation, founded by freed American slaves in the 19th century as a haven of liberty. The former warlord had little choice. He was boxed in by rebels, under U.N. sanctions, wanted by Sierra Leone's war crimes court and told to quit by President Bush. Celebrations erupted on the front line as rebels danced with former foes, but the mood was more muted on the government side as people pondered their future. Full Story


Ssjanev needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 523 designs submitted by 149 freelance designers.
We are a brother duo looking to take on a big project by starting a cafe/ takeaway retail shop which encompasses a all ORGANIC approach. We are very young energetic and are enthusiastic about what we do. I have been in the hospitality game for 8 years. I have owned and operated many shops before so this project has been in limbo for around 3 to 4 years. Trying different foods and seeing what attracts customers, and what works, it is our belief that we finally have to right recipe to cause havoc in the hospitality industry, and show people what we have to bring to the table. The main concept behind the logo is that the food which we provide is all organic and prepared on premises and most of all FRESH!! When we say organic though do not get confused with flowers it is in hospitality!!!!
The demographics have a big play in this role. The shop we have chosen is in a corporate building and is in a food court. At the moment no real healthy and organic option is available to the consumers. The age various in range although if I was to provide a mean age I would estimate that it would it would be between 30-35. Again keep in mind there are younger and older players so we don't want to give the oldies a heart attack and we don't want to bore the young ones!!!!
I follow the philosophy of KISS (keep it simple stupid) LOL!!!!!!
1) A tick which is soft and inviting but also indicates a heathy feel this is like the face that people will put to the name.
3) The coffee sandwiches panini pizza needs to be underneath the circle and or in smaller print not so it is not significant BUT All Good should dominate the logo as the print is just to tell people what they can expect at our shop.
4) We believe or seem to like the idea that the tick is encompassed with the circle and All Good sign. (Example you have a circle which has the tick running through the circle and the all Good Sign running vertical through the circle.) Food for thought but I'll leave the imagining up to you professionals.
My computer is a mac so as long as i can see the PIC i'm happy!!!

The copy and paste function of the Electronic Health Record is a dangerous feature. I have personally reviewed medical cases where a patient was noted to have diabetes, but didn't. It was an error by the initial author of the Past Medical History, but copied and pasted to each physician's assessment. A pressure ulcer was assessed as a stage II (wrong assessment) and copied and pasted in the nursing notes for weeks. The physicians reading the nursing notes were unaware that the pressure was actually a large unstageable pressure ulcer. The patient did not receive the proper treatment and died from sepsis.
Each and every author is responsible for their documentation. If they electronically sign an assessment they are stating that the documentation is true and correct.
