India's Ancient Maritime History – Part 2
India's hold on maritime trade greatly benefited numerous kingdoms, but with the arrival of the British, its shipping industry declined drastically.
May 8, 2017August 26, 2020 | By: Stephen Knapp
Continuing from India's Ancient Maritime History – Part 1 where we looked at various historical accounts about the ingenuity and superiority of India's maritime prowess.
Ancient India's maritime trade
Further evidence shows that shipping from Bharatvarsha was a national enterprise and the country was a leader in world trade relations amongst such people as the Phoenicians, Jews, Assyrians, Greeks, and Romans in ancient times, and more recently with Egyptians, Romans, Turks, Portuguese, Dutch, and English.
The simple fact is that India's maritime history predates the birth of Western civilization. The world's first tidal dock is believed to have been built at Lothal around 2300 BCE during the Harappan civilization, near the present day Mangrol harbor on the Gujarat coast.
The earliest portrayal of an Indian ship is found on an Indus Valley seal from about 3000 BCE. The ship is shown being elevated at both bow and stern, with a cabin in the center. It is likely to have been a simple river boat since it is lacking a mast. Another drawing found at Mohendjodaro on a potsherd shows a boat with a single mast and two men sitting at the far end away from the mast. Another painting of the landing of Vijaya Simha in Ceylon (543 BCE) with many ships is found amongst the Ajanta caves.
That India had a vast maritime trade, even with Greece, is shown by the coins of the Trojans (98-117 CE) and Hadrians (117-138 CE) found on the eastern coast of India, near Pondicherry. This is evidence that Greek traders had to have visited and traded in the port cities of that area.
Kamlesh Kapur explains more about this in Portraits of a Nation: History of India:
"Recent archeological excavations at Pattanam in Ernakulum district of Kerala by the Kerala council for Historical Research (KCHR) indicate that there was thriving naval trade around 500 B.C.
According to the Director of KCHR,
'The artifacts recovered from the excavation site suggest that Pattanam, with a hinterland port and a multicultural settlement, may have had links with the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the South China Sea rims since the Early Historic Period of South India.'
KCHR has been getting charcoal samples examined through C-14 and other modern methods to determine the age of these relics. These artifacts were from the Iron Age layer. The archeologists also recovered some parts of a wooden canoe and bollards (stakes used to secure canoes and boats) from a waterlogged area at the site.
"The radiocarbon dating from Pattanam will aid in understanding the Iron Age chronology of Kerala. So far, testing done by C-14 method to determine the ages of the charcoal samples from the lowermost sand deposits in the trenches at Pattanam suggests that their calibrated dates range from 1300 B.C. to 200 B.C. and 2500 B.C. to 100 A.D. Thus there is strong evidence that Kerala had sea trade with several countries in Western Asia and Eastern Europe from the second millennia B.C. onwards." 1
The influence of the sea on Indian Kingdoms continued to grow with the passage of time. North-west India came under the influence of Alexander the great, who built a harbor at Patala where the Indus branches into two, just before entering the Arabian sea. His army returned to Mesopotamia in ships built in Sindh. Records show that in the period after his conquest, Chandragupta Maurya established an admiralty division under a Superintendent of ships as part of his war office, with a charter including responsibility for navigation on the seas, oceans, lakes and rivers. History records that Indian ships traded with countries as far as Java and Sumatra, and available evidence indicates that they were also trading with other countries in the Pacific, and Indian Ocean. Even before Alexander, there were references to India in Greek works and India had a flourishing trade with Rome. Roman writer Pliny speaks of Indian traders carrying away large quantity of gold from Rome, in payment for much sought exports such as precious stones, skins, clothes, spices, sandalwood, perfumes, herbs, and indigo.
The port cities included such places as Nagapattinam, Arikamedu (near Pondicherry), Udipi, Kollam, Tuticorin, Mamallapuram, Mangalore, Kannur, Thane, and others, which facilitated trade with many foreign areas, such as Indonesia, China, Arabia, Rome, and countries in Africa. Many other inland towns and cities contributed to this trade, such as Madurai, Thanjavur, Tiruchirapalli, Ellora, Melkote, Nasik, and so on, which became large centers of trade. Silk, cotton, sandalwood, woodwork, and various types of produce were the main items of trade.
Trades of this volume could not have been conducted over the countries without appropriate navigational skills. Two Indian astronomers of repute, Aryabhatta and Varahamihira, having accurately mapped the positions of celestial bodies, developed a method of computing a ship's position from the stars. A crude forerunner of the modern magnetic compass called Matsyayantra was being used around the fourth or fifth century CE. Between the fifth and tenth centuries CE, the Vijayanagara and Kalinga kingdoms of southern and eastern India had established their rules over Malaya, Sumatra and Western Java. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands then served as an important midway for trade between the Indian peninsula and these kingdoms, as also with China. The daily revenue from the western regions in the period 844-848 CE was estimated to be 200 maunds (eight tons) of gold.
Not only was there trade from ancient times, going to many areas of the globe, but other countries may have also been going to India. It is reported that marine archaeologists have found a stone anchor in the Gulf of Khambhat with a design similar to the ones used by Chinese and Japanese ships in the 12th-14th century CE, giving the first offshore evidence indicating India's trade relations with the two Asian countries. The stone anchor was found during an exploration headed by two marine archaeologists, A. S. Gaur and B. K. Bhatt, from the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO). Mr. Gaur stated
"Though there are a lot of references and Chinese pottery (found from coastal sites) indicating trade relations between the two Asian nations (China and Japan) in the past, but this anchor from the offshore region is the first evidence from Indian waters. Similar type of anchors have been found from Chinese and Japanese waters," 2
Furthermore, another recent finding that shows the ancient advancement of Indian maritime capabilities is the evidence that Indian traders may have gone to South America long before Columbus discovered America. Investigation of botanical remains from an ancient site, Tokwa at the confluence of Belan and Adwa rivers, Mirzapur District, Uttar Pradesh (UP), has brought to light the agriculture-based subsistence economy during the Neolithic culture (3rd-2nd millennium BCE). They subsisted on various cereals, supplemented by leguminous seeds. Evidence of oil-yielding crops has been documented by recovery of seeds of Linum usitatissimum and Brassica juncea. Fortuitously, an important find among the botanical remains is the seeds of South American custard apple, regarded to have been introduced by the Portuguese in the 16th century. The remains of custard apple as fruit coat and seeds have also been recorded from other sites in the Indian archaeological context, during the Kushana Period (CE 100-300) in Punjab and Early Iron Age (1300-700 BCE) in UP. The factual remains of custard apple, along with other stray finds, favor a group of specialists to support with diverse arguments the reasoning of Asian-American contacts way before the discovery of America by Columbus in 1498. 3
The Indian navy and sea power
In the south especially there was an established navy in many coastal areas. The long coastline with many ports for trade for sending out ships and receiving traders from foreign countries necessitated a navy to protect the ships and ports from enemies. According to records, the Pallavas, Cholas, Pandyas, and the Cheras had large naval fleets of ocean bound ships because these rulers also led expeditions against other places, such as Malayasia, Bali, and Ceylon.
The decline of Indian maritime power commenced in the thirteenth century, and Indian sea power had almost disappeared when the Portuguese arrived in India. They later imposed a system of license for trade, and set upon all Asian vessels not holding permits from them.
The piratical activities of the Portuguese were challenged by the Zamorins of Calicut when Vasco da Gama, after obtaining permission to trade, refused to pay the customs levy. Two major engagements were fought during this period. First, the battle of Cochin in 1503, clearly revealed the weakness of Indian navies and indicated to the Europeans an opportunity for building a naval empire. The second engagement off Diu in 1509 gave the Portuguese mastery over Indian seas and laid the foundation of European control over Indian waters for the next 400 years.
Indian maritime interests witnessed a remarkable resurgence in the late seventeenth century, when the Siddhis of Janjira allied with the Moghuls to become a major power on the West Coast. This led the Maratha King Shivaji to create his own fleet, which was commanded by able admirals like Sidhoji Gujar and Kanhoji Angre. The Maratha Fleet along with the legendary Kanhoji Angre held sway over the entire Konkan Coast keeping the English, Dutch and Portuguese at bay. The death of Angre in 1729 left a vacuum and resulted in the decline of Maratha sea power. Despite the eclipse of Indian kingdoms with the advent of western domination, Indian shipbuilders continued to hold their own well into the nineteenth century. The Bombay Dock completed in July 1735 is in use even today. Ships displacing 800 to 1000 tons were built of teak at Daman and were superior to their British counterparts both in design and durability. This so agitated British shipbuilders on the River Thames that they protested against the use of Indian built ships to carry trade from England. Consequently, active measures were adopted to cripple the Indian shipbuilding industries. Nevertheless, many Indian ships were inducted into the Royal Navy, such as HMS Hindostan in 1795, the frigate Cornwallis in 1800, HMS Camel in 1801, and HMS Ceylon in 1808. HMS Asia carried the flag of Admiral Codrington at the battle of Navarino in 1827, the last major sea battle to be fought entirely under sail.
Two Indian built ships witnessed history in the making. The Treaty of Nanking, ceding Hong Kong to the British, was signed onboard HMS Cornwallis in 1842. The "Star Spangled Banner" national anthem of the USA was composed by Francis Scott Key onboard HMS Minden when the ship was on a visit to Baltimore. Numerous other ships were also constructed, the most famous being HMS Trincomalee, which was launched on 19 October, 1817, carrying 86 guns and displacing 1065 tons. This ship was latter renamed Foudroyant.
The period of 4000 years between Lothal and Bombay Dock, therefore, offers tangible evidence of seafaring skills the nation possessed in the days of sail. In the early seventeenth century, when British naval ships came to India, they discovered the existence of considerable shipbuilding and repair skills, as well as seafaring people. An ideal combination was thus available for supporting a fighting force in India. 4
How the British killed the maritime industry in India
When the westerners made contact with India, they were amazed to see their ships. Until the 17th century, European ships were a maximum of 600 tonnes. But in India, they saw such big ships as the Gogha, which was more than 1500 tonnes. The European companies started using these ships and opened many new factories to make Indian artisans manufacture ships. In 1811, Lt. Walker writes, "The ships in the British fleet had to be repaired every 12thyear. But the Indian ships made of teak would function for more than 50 years without any repair." The East India Company had a ship called Dariya Daulat which worked for 87 years without any repairs. Durable woods like rosewood, sal and teak were used for this purpose.
British East India Company ships at dock in Calcutta.
The French traveler Waltzer Salvins writes in his book Le Hindu, in 1811,
"Hindus were in the forefront of ship-building and even today they can teach a lesson or two to the Europeans. The British, who were very apt at learning the arts, learnt a lot of things about ship building from the Hindus. There is a very good blend of beauty and utility in Indian ships and they are examples of Indian handicrafts and their patience."
Between 1736 and 1863, 300 ships were built at factories in Mumbai. Many of them were included in the Royal Fleet. Of these, the ship called Asia was 2289 tonnes and had 84 cannons. Ship building factories were set up in Hoogly, Sihat, Chittagong, Dacca, etc. In the period between 1781 to 1821, in Hoogly alone 272 ships were manufactured which together weighed 122,693 tonnes.
In this connection, Suresh Soni, in his book India's Glorious Scientific Tradition, explains how India was deprived of its marine industry, but also from any notation in its ancient history of its ship-building ability. He writes:
"The shipping magnates of Britain could not tolerate the Indian art of ship manufacturing and they started compelling the East India Company not to use Indian ships. Investigations were frequently carried out in this regard. In 1811, Col. Walker gave statistics to prove that it was much cheaper to make Indian ships and that they were very sturdy. If only Indian ships were included in the British fleet, it would lead to great savings. This pinched the British shipbuilders and the traders."
Dr. Taylor writes,
'When the Indian ships laden with Indian goods reached the port of London, it created such a panic amongst the British traders as would not have been created, had they seen the enemy fleet of ships on the River Thames, ready for attack.'
"The workers at the London Port were among the first to make hue and cry and said that 'all our work will be ruined and families will starve to death.'The Board of Directors of East India Company wrote that 'all the fear and respect that the Indian seamen had towards European behavior was lost when they saw our social life once they came here. When they return to their country, they will propagate bad things about us amongst the Asians and we will lose our superiority and the effect will be harmful.' At this, the British Parliament set up a committee under the chairmanship of Sir Robert Peel.
"Despite disagreement amongst the members of the committee on the basis of this report, a law was passed in 1814 according to which the Indians lost the right to become British sailors and it became compulsory to employ at least three-fourth British sailors on British ships. No ship which did not have a British master was allowed to enter London Port and a rule was made that only ships made by the British in England could bring goods to England. For many reasons, there was laxity in enforcing these rules, but from 1863 they were observed strictly. Such rules which would end the ancient art of ship-building, were formulated in India also. Tax on goods brought in Indian ships was raised and efforts were made to isolate them from trade. Sir William Digby has rightly written, 'This way, the Queen of the western world killed the Queen of the eastern oceans.' In short, this is the story about the destruction of the Indian art of ship-building." 5
Of course, let us not forget that not only was commerce between ancient India and other countries made through maritime capabilities, but also through land routes that extended to China, Turkistan, Persia, Babylon, and also to Egypt, Greece, and Rome, which continued to prosper.
These days, India is still very much in the ship building business, mostly in small and medium size ships. As of 2009 there were 27 major shipyards, primarily in Mumbai, Goa, Vishakhapatnam, and Cochin.
In conclusion, the fact is that the ancient Vedic civilization had a strong connection with the sea, and maritime abilities. Even in their language of Vedic Sanskrit, words such as samudra, salil, sagar, and sindhu indicated the sea or large rivers. The word sindhuka also meant sailor, which became the name Sindbad for the sailor in Arabian Nights. Also, the English word navigation actually originates from the Sanskrit word Navagati.
Further evidence has been shown, such as that presented at a 1994 conference on seafaring in Delhi where papers had been presented that shows how Indian cotton was exported to South and Central America back in 2500 BCE. Another report suggested Indian cotton reached Mexico as far back as 4000 BCE, back to the Rig Vedic period. According to Sean McGrail, a marine archeologist at Oxford University, seagoing ships called 'clinkers' that were thought to be of Viking origin, were known in India a good deal earlier. Thus, India's maritime trade actually flourished many years ago, along with many other of its advancements that are hardly recognized or accounted for today. 6
This helps reveal that India's maritime trade actually flourished more and far earlier than most people realize. This was one of the ways Vedic culture had spread to so many areas around the world. Though the talents and capabilities that came out of ancient India's Vedic civilization have often remained unrecognized or even demeaned when discussed, nonetheless, the Vedic people were far more advanced in culture and developments then many people seem to care to admit, and it is time to recognize it for what it was.

Q: How do I select an element inside a variable in jquery? I have a function that takes an accordion element (I have multiple accordions in one page) and passes it into another function. In the second function I'd like to select the first header inside each accordion. How do I do this?
$(document).ready( function()
 {

$(".accordion").each(function(){
    prep_accordion(this);
});

 });

I tried this. The first statement in this function selects all elements, the second one only selects one element, but works only the first time. I want it to select the first header in every accordion
function prep_accordion( element )
 {
     var headers = $(element).find('.accordion-header'); //Selects all headers
     var header = $('.accordion-header').first();  //Selects first header, but only the first time function is called.

}

A: Let's break this down a bit...
Here, you use $(element).find(), so that your search is restricted to only the accordion headers within the current element:
var headers = $(element).find('.accordion-header'); //Gets the current accordion's headers

But here, you make no reference to the element parameter.  This will select the first header on the page because you haven't limited your selection to only the current element:
var header = $('.accordion-header').first(); //Gets the first accordion-header on the entire page

Being that you already have a list of the headers for the current element, there's no need to user another selector. Just grab the first header from the list you already have:
$(document).ready(function() {

    $(".accordion").each(function(){
        prep_accordion(this);
    });

});

function prep_accordion(element) {
    var headers = $(element).find('.accordion-header'); //Selects all headers
    var header = headers.first(); //Gets the first header for the given element
}

What are Humanoid Robots?

Humanoid robots are robots that are at least loosely based on the appearance of the human body. Most humanoid robots have a humanoid torso, two legs, two arms, and some form of a head. Some humanoid robots also include a face on the head, which can come in different degrees of expressiveness. Although the ideas behind this type of robot have existed for some time now, it is only within the last decade that large enough strides have been made to actually present relatively humanoid robots to the world.
Humanoid robots are meant to look vaguely like humans.
The term android is often used as a simple synonym for humanoid robots, but it may also be used to describe something a bit more specific. Some people hold that, strictly speaking, an android is only a robot meant to resemble a male human, while a gynoid would technically be the proper term for a female-appearing robot. Others use the term android to describe a more sophisticated form of humanoid robot, not yet possible. In this sense, an android not only has the physical appearance of a human, but has a fairly advanced artificial intelligence, allowing it to reasonably approximate human behavior and interactions. This type of android is seen only in science fiction and in the theoretical field, although it is the ultimate goal of many at work in the field of robotics.
Humanoid robots may be used to care for elderly persons.
For something to truly be a human robot, it must have a few limited autonomous capabilities, not simply appear in the shape of a human. A simple calculator moved into a container that looked humanoid, for example, would not be a humanoid robot. Humanoid robots are able to adapt to their environments to some extent, and are usually built with some form of learning system so that they can continue to progress and become better at the tasks they're built for.
Locomotion is one of the more challenging aspects of building good humanoid robots, as the human body is actually quite complex in its locomotive capabilities. Building a robot that is able to jump, for example, proves to be incredibly difficult, because the amount of power needed to move a heavy robot is substantial, and the computations and fine motor adjustments needed to retain balance on impact are extremely complex. While the humanoid robot Dexter is capable of jumping, for example, it has been engineered almost exclusively for that purpose, and its ability to jump is still very limited and awkward when compared to a human.
Even with their currently limited capabilities, humanoid robots still have a number of uses, and in the future they may be capable of doing many important tasks. Humanoid robots can be used to do dangerous work that requires a human-like form, especially to operate equipment that has already been designed to fit and be operated by a human body. They can also be used to care for the elderly, and to look after and entertain young children. In fact, one of the growing uses of humanoid robots is as a teacher for very young children, who can become engaged and bonded to them without suffering many of the negative responses that adults have. As humanoid robots continue to develop, they may take many human roles for work, especially for situations like space missions, undersea missions, or exploratory missions to dangerous locales on earth.
Humanoid robots may be helpful in looking after and entertaining young children.

I visited a department store that had a humanoid robot customer service person. I know that sounds like a joke, but it really was a robot, not just a disgruntled employee. It was kind of creepy to interact with it, actually. Useful, but creepy.
Do you know, I've even heard that they have robots that can be used for sex? I personally can't imagine just how that would work (though now, thinking about it, I'm not sure that I'd want to...), but to me, that's just the strangest thing.

Help us to transform the lived experiences of men, women, and children into improvised theatre pieces, to bring isolated communities together and train local youth in the skills necessary to express themselves through photography and film. The Freedom Theatre provides all its activities for free in one of the poorest areas in Palestine – Jenin refugee camp. Your support is absolutely essential to our ability to continue improving the lives of youth, women and children through the arts.
Help spread the word! Let people know that you just made a monthly contribution to The Freedom Theatre and that others can do the same. SHARE THIS MESSAGE WITH YOUR NETWORK!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! See you in 2013!


Huntingdonshire Philharmonic, under the baton of conductor Adrian Brown, launch their new season with a programme of English music by three very different composers.
Parry's rousing I was Glad, performed at Coronations since 1902 and at two Royal weddings, has become a firm choral favourite.
Vaughan Williams conducted the first performance of his 5th symphony at a Promenade Concert in 1943. This serene and lyrical work with its inbuilt quality of calm reassurance made an immediate and deep impression on a public uncertain of the future during wartime. Sibelius, to whom it was dedicated, described it as 'a marvellous work', and it continues to inspire audiences today.
Sea Drift, first performed in 1906, is Delius' choral masterpiece. Walt Whitman's poem, telling the story of two nesting sea birds and the tragedy of one of them, never to return, is inspirationally set in a rhapsodic and emotional way by Delius. Magically, Delius captures not only the song of the lone bird, grieving for his mate, but also the sound and changing moods of the sea itself in this beautiful and evocative work.
Fans of Laurence Meikle, whose recent performances in Mendelssohn's Elijah and Brahms' Requiem delighted our audiences, will welcome his return to Huntingdon for a third time as our baritone soloist. A graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, Laurence is currently building a successful international career in opera, with recent engagements in Milan, Bergamo, Monte Carlo and the UK.
The concert will be held at the Hinchingbrooke Performing Arts Centre, Huntingdon, on Saturday 10 November, beginning at 7.30pm. Tickets, £12 (students £6), are available from Anabel Capon on 01832 274834, by emailing huntsphiltickets@btinternet.com and will also be available on the door.

The host of Last Week Tonight opens up about a crucial inspiration while promoting season five of his show.
John Oliver and Jimmy Kimmel are at the forefront of late-night talk show television. But, for Oliver, Kimmel is more than rival for viewers. He's an inspiration.
John Oliver sat down with USA Today and talked about he was inspired by a speech Jimmy Kimmel gave last May on his show about his son's heart condition.
In the segment, Jimmy Kimmel gave an emotional speech about his son's condition while also pleading for an improved healthcare system in the United States. The speech was met with an outpouring of support from people all over the world and acted as a turn for Kimmel, who hasn't shied away from political discussions since.
Oliver, on the other hand, is the definition of political. On his show, Last Week Tonight, he goes into great detail about political and social problems the world faces. In June 2017, a month after Kimmel's passionate speech, Oliver, in turn, gave a short speech about his own son and tying it to his plea for the importance of vaccines.
His son, born prematurely after a difficult pregnancy, will be getting vaccinated on schedule. Oliver shares facts and fiction about vaccines but says when it comes down to it, they are important - important enough for him to let go of his own fears and vaccinate.
"I very rarely do anything like that, because I'm emotionally very closed in, but I was so staggered by what Jimmy Kimmel had done, and I was so floored by how brave and how funny he was and how cathartic it was to me. My instinct in going through a very difficult period after that pregnancy was the British way: not to talk about it at all and to bury it and hope it all goes away. But it felt like such an incredibly generous thing to do (for Kimmel) to share that experience, it was really meaningful to me because it kind of made me feel like through the anxieties and stresses, that you're not going through that alone."
When considering whether to use his family as a point in his argument, Oliver said, "the Jimmy Kimmel thing really solidified it in my mind. And it was personally very helpful to me watching him suffer publicly. And it was funny."
Kimmel responded to his compliment saying, "He definitely has taught me many, many things I did not know about in an entertaining way, and I think that's very valuable. It's the same reason they make medicine for children flavored like bubble gum. Sometimes it still tastes like medicine, and in John Oliver's case, it tastes like bubble gum."
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver returns Sunday, February 18 on HBO for its fifth season. Are you excited?

200 Years of Settle Zion Independent Chapel
Leave a comment	 31st October 2019 Stan Merridew
By Anne Read
Hon.Curator The Folly Museum
Zion Independent Chapel was built in 1816 and for the next two centuries played an important part in the life of Settle. Sadly, it closed in 2015 just a year short of its bi-centenary.
Zion was one of the three first places of worship to be built in Settle. There was no parish church in the town until 1838 as Settle was a part of the ancient parish of Giggleswick. The Quaker Meeting House was built in 1678 and the Wesleyan Chapel in 1796. It took its name like many other nonconformist chapels from the original hilltop fortress captured by King David which became the oldest part of the city of Jerusalem. Settle's Zion Chapel is particularly well-named, standing as it does at one of the highest points in the town.
Nonconformity flourished in Craven thanks to the efforts of 'The Itinerants', a group based in the industrial West Riding who made it a part of their mission to strengthen the churches in rural areas. Their stirring preaching drew great crowds in Settle and it is reported that at one open-air gathering in 1813 an audience of 'not less than a thousand' was present. There was clearly a pressing need to build a chapel!
The response of the working people of Settle was astounding. Within a year or so, the sum of £200 had been raised. The Itinerary Society contributed a further £100, land was purchased from Mr John Birkbeck and the new chapel was erected in 1816. The congregation was entirely responsible for managing and funding its own affairs, including the payment of a Minister. The spirit of sharing skills and playing a lively part in the numerous social activities taking place in the town was characteristic of the Zion congregation well into this century.
There were many ups and downs in the early years of the Chapel with frequent changes of Minister and many periods when services were taken by students from Idle Academy who often had to make the journey to Settle on foot. One Minister from 1835 to 1838, the Revd. John Williams of Grassington reduced the congregation to a state of chaos and was asked to resign because he actively preached against the Temperance movement! Another, the Revd. William Jackson was, in 1852, asked to resign because of neglect of his duties
At this point a unique development took place – for a period of several months the Revd. Rowland Ingram, having just resigned as Vicar of Giggleswick, preached at Zion every Sunday evening, providing a first example of inter-denominational co-operation and community spirit which has been a hallmark of Zion ever since.
In those days, the Chapel interior was very bare and uncomfortable with upright deal pews, forms for the children and a big iron stove which either smoked, scalded everyone with hot steam or went out; the gallery was not used in winter, there was no floor-covering of any kind and the space was lit by groups of tallow candles which had to be trimmed during the service and frequently went out – much to the delight of the youngsters. There were two 'singing pews' but no instrument except a bass fiddle.
There was a change for the better after the appointment of the Revd. Samuel Compston in 1855; he was the first minister to really 'settle' in Settle and he set the pattern for all the dedicated Ministers who followed right up to the closure of the Chapel in 2015. Samuel revitalised the life of Zion: the long-standing chapel debt was extinguished, a choir formed, a harmonium (and later a pipe organ) bought and a number of mid-week activities begun. The interior of the Chapel was completely refitted in the early 1870s and a schoolroom built on at the back which also served as a hall with a stage for entertainments.
The pattern of services on Sundays was simply staggering by modern standards: morning Sunday School followed by morning service, followed by afternoon school, followed by afternoon service, followed by evening service! This pattern, with the later omission of the afternoon service continued well into the 20th century. Many people travelled a distance and services were also held in the Workhouse at Giggleswick, Tosside Chapel and local farms.
Social activities were numerous and there was something happening nearly every weekday evening – choir, orchestra, sewing circle, woodwork class, young people's fellowship, men's and ladies' evenings, dramatic society; most of these regular activities contributed to the ongoing need to raise funds for all aspects of Zion's work including missionary work. Entertainments, 'socials' and Garden Parties were a regular part of the calendar and involved the whole local community, taking place in venues across the district, including the Music Hall (later the Victoria Hall) and the gardens of the larger houses such as Ashfield, Cragdale and Whitefriars. On top of all this the groups arranged outings and even holidays to different parts of the country. The sheer amount of organisation that went on is quite breathtaking!
Sunday Schools were especially important for the part they played in broadening the overall education of the children; as well as studying scripture the children went on regular rambles in the hills above Settle and learned about the natural history and antiquities of the area.
Two of Zion's most famous sons – the Revd. Benjamin Waugh who founded the NSPCC and Dr James Riley who as a medical researcher in Dundee did groundbreaking work on Mast Cells greatly advancing our understanding of how to treat and manage inflammatory and respiratory conditions – received their earliest education at Zion's Sunday School.
The Revd. George Moffat was Zion's longest-serving Minister and on his retirement in 1976 he was presented with a book of memories, which contain a whole range of anecdotes, some serious and others light-hearted. Here is just one of them: The 1934 Junior Christmas party: "We could not believe our ears! Father Christmas was coming along the narrow passage to the Sunday School door on a HORSE! Poor creature! It must have hated coming into that warm, brightly-lit room and being pushed through the doors … Then it happened. Horse manure all over the school room floor. Following was a distraught Mr Nelson with a bucket and shovel trying to catch the mess as it fell.

Lady Arabella Stuart – The Queen that never was
Theme: The Thinker Lite


A girlfriend brought me a bunch of beautiful Indian carrots at the farmers' market. I had never seen such beautiful carrots. They remind me of all the beautiful colors you see in both red and golden beets.
I wasn't quite sure what to do with them, and most recipes i found were geared towards Indian cuisine. I do love Indian food, but i've never made it and i wasn't about to try cooking Indian dishes on a school night. With that said, i decided the easiest thing to do would be to turn them into a beautiful salad. And beautiful & delicious it was!
Indians and Persians make a great duo.
Grate the carrots and cucumber.
Add finely sliced scallions, pomegranate seeds and dried cranberries.
In a teaspoon of dijon mustard and quickly whisk in a couple splashes of olive oil.
Whisk in about 1/3 that amount of a fruity vinegar.
Whisk in about one Tablespoon of Agave.
Obviously you can adjust the ingredients as necessary.
I actually dressed the salad and decided to save some for the following evening. Surprisingly, it tasted just as delicious sitting for a day in the dressing. Not soggy. Just fine, healthy and delicious.


Is PCR better than culture in TB diagnosis: myth or reality?
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is emerging as a new diagnostic tool for tubercular infections. Studies indicate variable results in relation to its efficacy making it as an investigation which is operator dependant. It still remains a dilemma to choose between PCR and culture as the most dependant and reliable diagnostic test. The purpose of our study was to determine the efficacy of PCR in diagnosis of pulmonary and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis and its comparison with conventional culture.
In this observational study, 50 pulmonary and 50 extra-pulmonary specimens from suspected tuberculosis patients were included. All samples after initial processing were subjected to microscopy, conventional culture and PCR.
For pulmonary specimens, positivity of smear, culture and PCR were 56%, 72% and 74%, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity of PCR was found to be 89% and 71% respectively. For extra-pulmonary specimens, positivity of smear, culture and PCR were 36%, 58% and 78%, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity of PCR was found to be 83% and 29% respectively (with culture as gold standard) whereas it was 92% and 67%, respectively (with clinical diagnosis as gold standard). PCR facilitated additional detection of 4% and 20% pulmonary and extra-pulmonary TB cases respectively than by conventional culture. Results of PCR were obtained in 6-8 hours as compared to 6-8 weeks by conventional culture.
The study highlights PCR as a better diagnostic tool in detection of tuberculosis. Early results of PCR help in early institution of anti tubercular treatment and thus controlling the spread of disease.


This unassuming little Jewish or Israeli bakery cafe in North Bondi and Bondi Junction churns out delicious food. There are fluffy pita breads, soft and pillowy sambouseks, crisp bright green felafels, shakshuka and plates of Israeli style food. And most of it is vegetarian too!
It's hard to lure Nina to eat out. She told me once that she considers restaurant prices to be generally outrageous in Sydney so she usually just drinks wine and skips the food. Suffice it to say that it has to be something either cheap and cheerful or delicious to get her interested.
That was Medani Bakery, a Jewish Israeli cafe and bakery. She has fond memories of past visits to Israel and being served fresh, delicious food on plates with lots of different ingredients. A date was made to try out Medani one Sunday. Medani is a combination of the letters of the owners last names.
There are two tables outside the North Bondi store (the newer one) and we take a seat at one with little Mochi. You can either order inside or at the table but inside is faster perhaps. We look at the menu-I usually order for Mr NQN, Garth and I while Nina chooses something for herself. But then we realise that pretty much everything but two items (fish dishes) are vegetarian so we decide to share everything.
Service is quirky-it's super low key and although not overly enthusiastic it's polite and they answer our many questions about what is good to order. We order drinks to go with our food and the bill is a very reasonable $40 per couple. Everyone else has coffee while I have a chai latte and they ask if I'd like powder of leaves. I go with leaves and it takes a while to steep but it is worth it with all the lovely aromatic spices.
The first things we try are the sambousek. We were lucky with our timing as it meant that we just caught a new delivery of sambouseks and pastries. There are several different fillings and we try a spinach and cheese one and a curry vegetable one. Cutting into them they are light and puffy. The spinach and cheese one whilst tasty is mostly spinach and we'd love a bit more cheese. But we are all seriously in love with the curry vegetable one with a potato based spiced filling. I could have happily eaten a whole one to myself as could Nina which is really saying something.
Then we try the shakshuka. We all love shakshuka, especially Nina who always orders it if she sees it on a menu. This one is fantastic, full of flavour the tomatoes are perfectly rich and full bodied. It has two baked eggs in it and a side of tahini and bread.
The roasted eggplant is a whole baked eggplant that has a lovely creamy texture served with a side of that wonderful puffy pita and parsley. It is actually quite nice when you get a bit of shakshuka and this together on a pita bread.
The only plate that we didn't really go for was the Sabich plate. There's a chilli harissa paste, an Israeli tomato salad, grilled eggplant, a boiled egg, tahini, a hot sauce and pickles as well as a fresh, fluffy pita. I think perhaps having a couple of dips to tie this together would have helped as well as some more seasoning of the salad (I later checked and there was supposed to be hummus and tahini but it looks like just tahini was served). The extra felafel that come out in a little basket are fantastic-crunchy on the outside, bright green and moist and full of flavour on the inside.
While we were eating they seemed to bring out bowls of complimentary fried pita bread strips. These are deep fried until crispy crunchy and rolled in za'atar. Even deep fried phobic Nina (it messes with her stomach) declares these fantastic.
We didn't intend to try the pastries or desserts, mainly because Nina and Garth are on a diet but well you know me and pastries right? I go in and buy a couple of other things: the hazelnut croissant and a Jewish donut called Hanukkah Sufganiyot that is only available around this time of the year.
The donut is puffy and light, lightly covered in sugar with a little dab of jam in the centre. And the hazelnut croissant isn't so much a croissant, it's a sweet hazelnut roll in a croissant shape. When I cut into it there aren't any buttery laminated layers. Instead, it looks like a cinnamon bun except hazelnut flavoured. It's super rich, sweet and decadent and hard to resist, even if you're on a diet like Nina and Garth!
So tell me Dear Reader, do you agree with Nina that dining out is expensive? Do you ever just skip the food and just drink wine? And do you like Israeli food?

RORY: The biggest library I've ever seen.
LORELAI: This building is one component of a thirteen million volume collection housed in more than ninety different libraries. It's the oldest library in the United States and the largest academic library in the world. Breathe, breathe.
Rory and Lorelai are talking about the Widener Library, full name The Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Library. Housing 3.5 million volumes, it is the centrepiece of the Harvard College Libraries in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and of the entire Harvard Library system. It honours 1907 Harvard graduate and book collector Harry Widener, who was drowned during the 1912 sinking of the RMS Titanic.
As Lorelai says, the Harvard Library system is the oldest library in the US, having grown from a bequest of 400 books by John Harvard in 1638. It is not only the largest university library in the world, but the largest private library.

I was living in the Pacific NW at the time, and I stand by that sentiment.
Granted, I know that they can only work with the info they have, and it's impossible to tell what's going to come off the coast or up over the coastal range, but it is still dang frustrating.
At Ft Lewis, Washington (where the 2d Ranger Battalion is/was based), the standard uniform for formations included rain gear as necessary – and it usually was.
Poor Vachel. Everyone knows that you don't wash your car IN the rain, you wash your car to MAKE it rain.
I sure wish people would quit washing there cars for a while! We already got too much rain!
Hey Chris, we have a new coastal radar now! Has given the weatherfolks much more info.
This being Puget Sound, they still get things very wrong sometimes, but every week it's on line, they get more and more data to help in the future!

freedom made possible by such self-consciousness. As Schiller sees it,
in art we are permitted to observe that man is both a spiritual being and
an animal with instincts and passions, or, in other words, that man has a
spiritual dimension and a physical dimension, which can be coordinated
but which are frequently in collision. Each side wishes to be absolutely
dominant and seeks its own satisfactions without regard to the interests
of the other side. This results in a spectacle, the various permutations of
which comprise the subject-matter of literature. In actual life, however,
it is not given to us to enjoy the tensions of our dual nature as though
it were a spectacle. Rather we find ourselves painfully buffeted back
and forth between the claims of our spiritual nature and the facts of our
animal nature, or alternatively we find ourselves trying to resolve the ten-
sion within us by embracing one part of ourselves and by attempting to
deny the other part altogether. The sensualist seeks to accommodate the
instincts, to maximize physical pleasures, and to follow all inclinations.
The moralist seeks to invent a political structure that will facilitate justice
and enable all citizens to realize themselves as ethical beings by means
of an interlocking network of reciprocal duties and obligations. One
impulse is to go with the flow of things; another impulse is to impose an
order on things.
Without an adequate means of reflection, without a literary edu-
cation, we live our lives on the basis of unexamined impulses or with
partial sympathies that cannot know their own partiality. In political life,
for example, Schiller finds that the masses who are governed cannot
understand the point of view of the governing class that seeks to impose
upon them its own idea of law and order, and vice versa, the leaders can-
not understand the undisciplined spontaneity of those whom they would
govern. Neither side can feel the validity of the other side's outlook on
things. The solution, according to Schiller, is to raise everybody's con-
sciousness of both sides through the study of literature. The expectation
is that all parties will be chastened and awed by the artistic representa-
tion of man's dual nature, and that, as a consequence, the moralists will
become more sympathetic to the requirements of our animal nature and
be less inclined to impose their own designs upon it, while the sensualists
will become more inclined to recognize the virtues of self-discipline. The
hoped-for result is that society will eventually become capable of self-
government, thereby eluding the twin evils of dictatorship imposed from
above and anarchy emanating from below. By becoming more conscious


Einen Augenblick (A Moment) by Patricia Walsh was presented as part of the Harris Flights project. The audio piece is a combination of original music along with found and/or manipulated sounds all of which form, in various ways, a link or connection with the term 'flight'. The resulting aural interactions relate to aspects of rising up or uprisings, challenges and encounters, and incorporated the physical disturbing of the atmosphere and the displacing of space itself. The inherent resonances of flight, in any permutation, induce a sense of hovering or drifting between the opposing states of safety and danger.

I have been thinking of getting either the Sonos system or the squeezebox ever since I got my axiom speakers. Almost pulled the trigger on the sonos until I heard about airplay from apple. I've been playing with airplay for the past few days and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. I use the ipad to stream music to the new apple tv. It works pretty much flawlessly. I've always been a PC guy, but I have to say apple is really winning me over. Also I never had a device as simple to setup as the apple tv. The only thing you have to do is plug it in. The rest takes care of itself.
I was impressed, too. I upgraded the iOS on my iPad at my brother's house in Chicago just so I could stream music from it to the Airport Express that he has connected to his home stereo. Apple will take care of you well if you've got a bunch of their recent devices.

Q: SQL subquery with (from) aliases I need help with subquery in select clause. I have tables: EMPLOYEES (EMPLOYEE_ID, EMPLOYEE_NAME, EMPLOYEE_GROUP) and ACTIVITIES (ACTIVITY_DATE, ACTIVITY_STATUS, EMPLOYEE_ID). I need to select some activieties, for employees from 'W' Group.
Unfortunately i can't use CREATE TABLE/VIEW function, so i've tried this, but it's not working.
SELECT DISTINCT

TB1.EMPLOYEE_NAME,
(SELECT TB1.ACTIVITY_DATE FROM TB1
WHERE TB1.ACTIVITY_STATUS = 'START' AND TB1.ACTIVITY_NUMBER = 1) AS FIRST_START,
(SELECT TB1.ACTIVITY_DATE FROM TB1
WHERE TB1.ACTIVITY_STATUS = 'START' AND TB1.ACTIVITY_NUMBER = 2) AS SECOND_START,
(SELECT TB1.ACTIVITY_DATE FROM TB1
WHERE TB1.ACTIVITY_STATUS = 'STOP' AND TB1.ACTIVITY_NUMBER = 1) AS FIRST_STOP,
(SELECT TB1.ACTIVITY_DATE FROM TB1
WHERE TB1.ACTIVITY_STATUS = 'STOP' AND TB1.ACTIVITY_NUMBER = 2) AS SECOND_STOP

FROM(

     SELECT DISTINCT

     A.EMPLOYEE_NAME,
     B.ACTIVITY_DATE,
     B.ACTIVITY_STATUS,
     ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY A.EMPLOYEE_NAME,B.ACTIVITY_STATUS
       ORDER BY B.ACTIVITY_DATE ASC) ACTIVITY_NUMBER

     FROM
     (SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE EMPLOYEE_GROUP ='W')  A

     LEFT JOIN ( SELECT * FROM ACTIVITIES  WHERE ACTIVITY_STATUS IN ('START','STOP','PAUSE') )B
      ON A.EMPLOYEE_ID = B.EMPLOYEE_ID

  ) TB1

Do you know any function, which i can use to select data from table with alias?

A: I'm not sure if your version of Oracle supports it, but you'll either have to define TB1 as a CTE (Common Table Expression):
WITH TB1 AS (

     SELECT DISTINCT

     A.EMPLOYEE_NAME,
     B.ACTIVITY_DATE,
     B.ACTIVITY_STATUS,
     ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY A.EMPLOYEE_NAME,B.ACTIVITY_STATUS
       ORDER BY B.ACTIVITY_DATE ASC) ACTIVITY_NUMBER

     FROM
     (SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE EMPLOYEE_GROUP ='W')  A

     LEFT JOIN ( SELECT * FROM ACTIVITIES  WHERE ACTIVITY_STATUS IN ('START','STOP','PAUSE') )B
      ON A.EMPLOYEE_ID = B.EMPLOYEE_ID

  )
SELECT DISTINCT

TB1.EMPLOYEE_NAME,
(SELECT TB1.ACTIVITY_DATE FROM TB1
WHERE TB1.ACTIVITY_STATUS = 'START' AND TB1.ACTIVITY_NUMBER = 1) AS FIRST_START,
(SELECT TB1.ACTIVITY_DATE FROM TB1
WHERE TB1.ACTIVITY_STATUS = 'START' AND TB1.ACTIVITY_NUMBER = 2) AS SECOND_START,
(SELECT TB1.ACTIVITY_DATE FROM TB1
WHERE TB1.ACTIVITY_STATUS = 'STOP' AND TB1.ACTIVITY_NUMBER = 1) AS FIRST_STOP,
(SELECT TB1.ACTIVITY_DATE FROM TB1
WHERE TB1.ACTIVITY_STATUS = 'STOP' AND TB1.ACTIVITY_NUMBER = 2) AS SECOND_STOP

FROM TB1

Or, the old-fashioned way is copy-paste the definition for each instance of "TB1". (Yes, really, this is how we used to do it.)

Dolphins defensive line could possibly get re-enforcements
By Omar Kelly
Sun Sentinel's Omar Kelly and Dave Hyde preview the Miami Dolphins upcoming game against the Chicago Bears. (John Mccall, Omar Kelly, Dave Hyde)
Davie — The Miami Dolphins' injury-decimated defensive line could get at least two viable starters back for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.
Robert Quinn, who received a rest day on Wednesday, returned to practice on Thursday and apparently didn't have any limitations. That's a good indicator that he'll play on Sunday.
Andre Branch, who has missed the past two games because of a left knee injury he suffered in Miami's 28-20 win over the Oakland Raiders, participated for his second consecutive practice.
If Branch, who has started 37 NFL games in his seven seasons, practices on Friday, it is highly likely that he'll be cleared to play against the Bears (3-1).
Branch's presence would give that unit options against Chicago after using use two former practice squad players — Cameron Malveaux and Jonathan Woodard — to make it through last Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Cameron Wake is sitting out his second week of practice because of a knee injury he's been playing with since the second week of the season. However, Dolphins coach Adam Gase said there's a possibility Wake could play against the Bears.
If Wake doesn't play, expect Charles Harris to start his second game of the season.
Laremy Tunsil continues to practice
Dolphins left tackle Laremy Tunsil participated in his second consecutive practice of the week, which indicates that he's close to clearing the NFL's concussion protocol program.
As part of the NFL's concussion protocol program, Tunsil, who has started 34 games in his three seasons, must be cleared by an independent neurologist to play in Sunday's 1 p.m. game against the Bears.
If he's not cleared to play, the Dolphins would be forced to use Zach Sterrup, who started one game last season at left tackle, or Sam Young as his replacement. Young, who has started 20 NFL games in his nine seasons, struggled as Tunsil's replacement in last week's loss to the Bengals.
Tight end A.J. Derby participated in his second consecutive practice despite the foot injury that has sidelined him for two weeks. If Derby is cleared to play he'll likely return to his role as Miami's starter….
Cornerback Bobby McCain, who is nursing a knee injury that kept him from playing against the Bengals, sat out his second practice in a row on Thursday. If McCain can't play against the Bears, Torry McTyer would likely start his second NFL game. McTyer has contributed 10 tackles and one pass breakup in the five games he's played this season.
Safety T.J. McDonald, who had his participation limited on Wednesday, practiced without limitations on Thursday…..
Rookie tight end Durham Smythe has his participation limited on Thursday because of an ankle injury….
Dolphins tailback Frank Gore had his usual Thursday rest day.
Former University of Miami standout Malcolm Lewis was re-signed to the practice squad, returning to the developmental unit he was part of all last year. The Dolphins signed former Florida State receiver Travis Rudolph this week, but he tore his ACL during Wednesday's practice, which was his first with the team.

Chinese English French Italian Japanese Polish Russian
The Next Installment to the Award-Winning RTS. While many were hopeful that diplomacy would finally end the war, differing opinions on what should be done, along with the depleted power of the controlling factions, has led to a splintering of the groups involved. The loyalist members of the Trader Emergency Coalition adopt a policy of isolation, focusing on enhanced defenses to ride out the rest of the war. Those who rebel against the coalition take on a purely militant view, coming to the opinion that the only way to bring peace is by ultimately crushing all who oppose them – especially xenos. For the first time in their history, the war creates a schism in the Advent Unity. The loyalists seek to continue their policy of revenge against the Traders, and to assimilate all others to the Unity's influence. However, others amongst the Advent suspect that a corrupting influence from within has diverted the Unity from its proper destiny. The divide created in the Vasari Empire is less pronounced, but just as severe to their people. With the Vasari now practically frantic to move on to new space, the loyalist faction abandons cooperation and decides to take the resources they need by any means necessary. Having accepted the need to work together, the rebel faction feels that their best chance for survival is to work with the other races and bring them along to flee the approaching enemy. Take the battle for galactic supremacy to its ultimate level in Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion – a standalone RT4X game that combines the tactics of real-time strategy with the depth of the 4X genre (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate).

I have recently purchased a TC-08 usb logger with x8 type K thermocouples. The probes and logger were sent for independant calibration - the logger and probes are being used to log temperatures in a steam sterlizer - 121.0 oC to 134.0 oC for 15 minutes.
I have data for all 8 thermocouples which were calibrated at 20.0oC : 50.0oC : 100.0oC :200.0oC.
My main question is how do I input the calibration data into the PICO logger.
An example is probe1 had 20.0oC applied to it, as the calibration reference. The reading back from the logger/probe1 was 20.09, how do I put this offset into the logger to maintain linearity?
Apologies for the long question...any replies gratefully accepted.
You are not able to alter the calibration data in the TC-08, however, you may apply scaling to the recorded data in PicoLog from within the channel edit menu.
An explanation of how to do this can be found in the user guide on Page 34, 5.1.8.2 (http://www.picotech.com/document/pdf/plw044.pdf). You will also find the context sensitive help menu very useful for guiding you through the process.

GEORGETOWN — Highland Park forward Maja Davison played with pneumonia throughout the playoffs. She wasn't about to let it slow her down in the Class 5A state championship game.
After battling exhaustion that kept her from starting the second half, Davison subbed back in and scored to help lift the Scots to a 2-0 win over Mansfield Legacy at Birkelbach Field.
"It's a really mental game," Davison said. "If you can control your mind, your feet will follow. I was just keeping that in my head."
HP secured its seventh state championship, the most among all Texas soccer programs — girls or boys. The Lady Scots (26-1-3) last won in 2017, with the other championships coming in 1994, 1996, 2000, 2002 and 2012.
"There's a great history and legacy of success," HP head coach Stewart Brown said. "The girls know that. In our stadium we have our state champions on the wall just like football does. These girls love competing for their school and representing their community."
Megan O'Neal scored the first goal on a play set up by junior Presley Echols, who found herself shadowed the entire game by Legacy defender Kaitlyn Johnson.
"She's used to that," Brown said. "We kind of joke about, 'Who's your friend going to be today?' She knew she just had to be patient. Her soccer IQ is through the roof."
Echols broke free in the 43rd minute on a feed from defender Isabella Yates, then played a low cross to O'Neal who just had to finish one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
In an HP postgame tradition, Echols received the game ball from senior midfielder Halley Ray, who received it the game before. Echols then had to pick a player who helped her throughout the match, and she chose Yates.
"This program is the most special thing I've ever been part of," Echols said. "There's so many traditions and so much that goes into it. That's why we win, because we believe in each other so much and never give up."
Davison's moment came six minutes after O'Neal's goal, and earned her championship game MVP — an award voted on by the media. The sophomore received a pass from Sydney Cox and finished from 10 yards out to make it 2-0 over the Lady Broncos (26-2-2), who were making their first state tournament appearance.
Davison said she had to conserve energy during matches and use an inhaler to take medicine ever since she came down with pneumonia before the second round of the playoffs. She also scored a goal in the 3-0 semifinal win over Kingwood Park.
On Saturday, with the sun beating down on the turf field, Davison sat down partway through the first half, exhausted. She spent halftime drinking fluids with a wet towel draped around her neck, but found the strength to play on with the score tied 0-0.
"It's amazing," Davison said of winning the title. "It doesn't even feel real. I've never had this feeling before, it's so exciting."
