To travel is fun but deciding what to eat on your much-anticipated trip is a challenging task. Many people prefer consuming comfort food while travelling and of course that's not a wise decision. Balanced and nutritious diet is something you cannot take granted for especially when you're out and need extra energy. Let me share some of the useful tips that I personally follow while travelling.
Instead of relying on fast food joints and restaurants only, it would be great to pack some healthy snacks for you ahead of travelling. Nuts, seeds, fresh fruits, vegetables, and dry fruits are just to name a few.
While ordering at restaurants, make sure to order small-sized portions or you can also share your meal with your partner. A big NO to 'All you can eat' choices of course!
Look for the options that come with lots of veggies and salads on the side. This way you can have a balanced diet. Ask to have creamy dressings and sauces on the side, so that you can control how much you consume.
Avoid bacon and extra fat stuffing in your sandwiches. Ask if an eatery could replace these things with salad leaves, pineapple or avocados for freshness and taste.
Similarly, never opt for deep fried options. You can always ask for baked, poached, broiled or grilled alternatives instead.
I know indulging in a hearty dessert is a must. Eating healthy doesn't necessarily mean you cannot enjoy a dessert once in a while. However, look out for options with a low-fat calorie count like frozen yoghurt, fresh fruit sorbets and the like. Last but not the least, drink plenty of water to keep you hydrated.
How about hiring a professional food scientist and nutritionist with over 15 years of expertise in the field of research in public health to outline a perfect diet plan for you? I've assisted over 1,000+ clients during this span and acquire a database carrying 300+ unique yet healthy recipes which I would love to share with my patrons.

Great Exhibitions Competition 2016
Home/BSHS Announcements, Museums, News, Outreach and Education, Outreach and Education Competitions/Great Exhibitions Competition 2016
The British Society for the History of Science Prize for Exhibits on the History of Science, Technology and Medicine 2016
The BSHS Outreach and Education Committee is pleased to announce its fourth Great Exhibitions competition, kindly funded by the B.Gee bequest. The winners in the 2014 competition were the National Maritime Museum for Ships, Clocks and Stars: the Quest for Longitude (above) and the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments at Harvard University for Body of Knowledge: A History of Anatomy (in 3 Parts).
The competition is open for any public exhibition that deals with the history of science, the history of technology, or the history of medicine. Entries are welcome from institutions in any country and exhibits may be permanent or temporary. Eligible exhibits must use artefacts or places of some kind and this may include buildings or locations, pictures, instruments, objects and books. Web-based exhibits are not eligible for the prize; we run a separate competition – the Ayrton Prize – for these. The closing date is 1st September 2016. Exhibits should go live no later than the end of September and still be available for viewing until the end of November 2016 to enable judging. There will be two prizes of £300, one for large and one for small exhibitions. The winning exhibits will be the subject of a special feature in the BSHS's Viewpoint magazine.
The main criterion for judging this prize is audience experience and therefore the judges will consider:
Originality: does the exhibit speak to current scholarly concerns within HSTM, HPS and/or STS? Does it present the audience with something new? Does it challenge preconceptions?
Clarity: is the purpose or aim of this exhibit clear? Has it clearly identified what it wants to tell the audience about the history of science, technology or medicine? Is it easy to follow?
Design: is the exhibit attractive and engaging? What makes this exhibit stand out from other exhibits? Does the design complement the subject matter?
Learning: does it cater for its intended audience well? How accessible is the exhibit to a range of different audiences? Does the exhibit encourage audiences to be reflective about the role of HSTM?
Please submit an entry form and supporting materials by 1st September 2016 to [email protected] or Dr James Stark, School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science, University of Leeds, LEEDS, LS2 9JT, United Kingdom. Supporting materials can either be up to 12 photographs of the exhibition or a 10 minute video. Whenever possible the judges will visit the exhibition or nominate a member of the Society to do so. Any further queries should be addressed to [email protected].

Huh. This would've been a good activity while the power was out. - Artemis and Friends Archery Co.
Huh. This would've been a good activity while the power was out.
In the middle ages, they didn't have hardware stores. If you were making a bow, you wanted to find a sapling tall and straight enough to carve into a one-piece longbow; thin enough to fell with reasonable ease; pliable enough to bend; strong enough not to break. Simple, I'm sure.
When you join Paul Micallef's bow-making class at the Academy for European Medieval Martial Arts (Dupont and Ossington), the wood's a pre-cut piece of oak lumber but otherwise you're doing it old-style. At AEMMA, you can learn archery - or swordsmanship, or using a lance, or a poleaxe - with the context of medieval study. We have everything in this city, no?
This bow-making is off the grid. Unplugged. No noisy electrical machines. The day Rob and I popped by, each new bowyer was putting their pet project on a tiller, like you see Sunny Handa demonstrating on the side there. You pull the string taut on this tool, and you can see where the wood flexes more or less, so you can go back to shaving till it curves enough and evenly. Paul explains that a bow's shape comes from the meeting of the characteristics of the piece of wood and the bowyer's ability.
The students point out that for $250 dollars they do something unusual, learn a skill a lot of them will use again and they take home a bow. If that sounds keen to you, there's usually a session in the early months of the year. Paul schedules it based on demand, so drop him an email at pmical@hotmail.com and get your name down for the next round!


Chris and I got out for some road riding near Tucson AZ this week. I did the ride halfway from the bottom to Windy Point (nearly 4000 feet of climbing) then Chris continued to the summit of Mt. Lemmon (over 9000 feet!) I drove the support van and filmed the ascent/descent.

Øster Højst (deutsch Oster Hoist) ist ein Ort mit  Einwohnern () im Südosten der süddänischen Tønder Kommune. Øster Højst liegt (Luftlinie) etwa 7 km nordwestlich von Bylderup-Bov, 8,5 km südöstlich von Løgumkloster und 12 km nordöstlich von Tønder im Kirchspiel Højst. Die Deutsch-dänische Grenze befindet sich circa 12 km entfernt.

Geschichte
Im Jahre 1200 war die heutige Siedlung bereits unter dem Namen Høxet bekannt. Schon vor 1200 bestand im Osten des heutigen Siedlungsgebietes eine hölzerne Kirche als Filialkirche vom Kloster Løgumkloster. Um 1200 wurde die heutige Kirche im romanischen Stil gebaut.

Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts und zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts begann Øster Højst sich zu entwickeln, eine Genossenschaftsmolkerei wurde 1888 in Betrieb genommen, ein Postamt und eine Telefonzentrale kamen hinzu, 1921 und 1923 wurden eine Bibliothek und ein Versammlungshaus gegründet. Eine Privatschule und eine Verbundsschule gab es ab den 1950er Jahren.

Im Gedenkhain bei Øster Højst Forsamlinghus steht ein Denkmal für die zehn amerikanischen Flieger, deren B-17 "fliegende Festung" am 24. Februar 1944 nordwestlich von Øster Højst abstürzte.

1960 hatte der Ort 392 Einwohner, von denen über 100 in Handwerk oder Industrie beschäftigt waren.

Kirche

Die heutige  Kirche wurde um 1200 anstelle eines hölzernen Vorgängerbaus im romanischen Stil gebaut und in den folgenden Jahrhunderten einen um den massiven Turm und ein Waffenhaus vor dem Süderportal im gotischen Stil ergänzt.

Der Mittelschrein des um 1500 hergestellter Flügelaltars enthält eine geschnitzte Kreuzigungsgruppe. In den Seitenflügeln stehen Apostelfiguren. Die Schnitzfiguren erhielten 1702 einen gemalten Hintergrund. Auch der Aufbau des Altarretabels, die Christus als Weltenrichter zeigt, und das Predellagemälde des Abendmahls stammen aus dieser Zeit. Von einem weiteren mittelalterlichen Altar, der dem heiligen Nikolaus von Myra geweiht war, hat sich eine Mondsichelmadonna erhalten.

Die Kanzel im Renaissance-Stil aus dem Jahr 1603 stammt aus einer Tonderaner Werkstatt. Die sechs Reliefbilder der Brüstungsfelder zeigen Jesu Geburt, seine Taufe, Kreuzigung, Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt sowie das Weltgericht.

Zur Kirchenausstattung gehört außerdem eine Granittaufbecken, das möglicherweise schon aus dem Vorgängerbau stammt, und eine Triumphkreuzgruppe im Chorbogen aus der Zeit um 1500.

The Council on Basic Writing and Teacher Empowerment: The First Equity
By William B. Lalicker
The great Mina Shaughnessy, one of the Founding Mothers of our professional praxis in basic writing, famously analyzed the programmatic assumptions that stigmatized neophyte academic writers and that supported ineffective pedagogies. We remember how, in Errors and Expectations, she excoriated the institutions and practices that eschewed research (whether cognitive science or the compilation of teacher experience); she condemned ways of teaching that reflected the most sinister biases about race and class and that focused on the mere surface features of texts rather than on the intellectual lives of students challenged by written academic English. But it is easy to forget that Shaughnessy, while concerned with basic writing's program structures and pedagogical methods, aimed a forceful focus on the agency of the teacher. The material conditions under which the teacher labored, the freedoms granted or exigencies exacted on the teacher, had (and have) a manifest effect on the success of the basic writing student. Shaughnessy's Errors and Expectations was about helping student writers mainly by helping teachers: helping teachers to see basic writing students in a new light, and encouraging teachers to trust and apply their own teacherly knowledge. As Shaughnessy said in her introduction describing her approach,
Sometimes I offer actual lessons; sometimes I recommend a method or strategy…and at others, I merely urge a fresh perspective on an old problem. The teacher therefore who is searching for a tightly and fully structured writing program will not find it here. This book is concerned with the orientations and perceptions of teachers in relation to a specific population of student writers. It assumes that programs are not answers to the learning problems of students but that teachers are and that, indeed, good teachers create good programs…(6)
But have good teachers been afforded the agency to create good programs? In the four decades since Shaughnessy wrote, we have found the freedoms of the basic writing teacher consistently restricted, the exigencies regularly exacerbated, and the respect for teacher knowledge continually attacked by administrators, public pundits, legislators. One could argue that there's been great progress in the acceptance of program structures that recognize the burgeoning body of research into what helps basic writers write. When I wrote "A Basic Introduction to Basic Writing" in 2000, and even in the subsequent decade when that article was republished and anthologized, the great Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) model for mainstreaming basic writers was, I believe, not much known beyond the Community College of Baltimore County; now this highly successful basic writing model is practically a field of study itself, with conferences on ALP, textbooks based on it, 296 colleges and universities using it (ALP Schools List) at last count—Peter Dow Adams, ALP's guiding light and paterfamilias, is like Abraham founding a tribe for the ages. Unfortunately, even programmatic improvements and respected research in basic writing have not resulted in the empowerment of basic writing teachers, who do their jobs in ever more scholarly and productive ways while still largely being denied the choice of employment options beyond part-time and non-tenure track status. And thus it is high time to shift our focus again on empowering basic writing teachers.
Fortunately, the Council on Basic Writing has consistently focused on empowering teachers through scholarly and practical approaches to basic writing. Karen Uehling's history of the Council on Basic Writing (originally the Conference on Basic Writing) makes clear that creating a community of mutually supportive practitioners was a central step in the origin of this professional organization; she references early chairs of the organization, notes the diversity of intellectual contexts that basic writing teachers represented, and emphasizes "the organization's democratic nature" (8).
The Council on Basic Writing has a long history of activism and social justice in defense of basic writing students, with Susan Naomi Bernstein providing the impetus behind the CBW 2008 Social Justice Statement. Bernstein notes that "systematic disparities in educational conditions for our students enrolled in our basic writing courses across the United States present substantive roadblocks to full matriculation to college"; and while her emphasis is on conditions for basic writing students, she goes on to follow Shaughnessy's example by connecting the injustice to students to its compound effect in the systematic inequities to basic writing teachers: "It is recognized that many basic writing educators work under considerable challenges, including substandard wages, large course loads, and lack of sustainable employment and job security"—but she holds out hope that programmatic change that creates equity for students will lead to equity for teachers: "it may be argued that improved conditions for students will inevitably lead to more equitable circumstances for teachers." Ten years later, we can see that, though programs have improved for many students, we are still seeking equity for most teachers.
And as recently as March, 2018, at the annual Conference on College Composition and Communication, the full-day CBW Workshop opened with a segment on "Reconsidering Graduate Education and Teacher Training in Basic Writing Contexts," an active presentation and dialogue facilitated by Darin Jensen and Christie Toth based on their article "Responses to the TYCA Guidelines for Preparing Teachers of English in the Two-Year College" (TYCA is the Two-Year College Association), part of a September, 2017 special issue of TETYC focused on the preparation and professionalization of two-year college faculty. As a large proportion of basic writing teachers are two-year college faculty, it's clear that agency and empowerment for basic writing teachers remains a topic of prime importance. In the workshop, Jensen and Toth specifically focused on preparation for basic writing faculty—a faculty category whose heavy teaching workload (generally teaching more classes per term than their four-year college counterparts) means a sometime denial of scholarly opportunities and moments for reflection on innovative practices. The final segment of the CBW Workshop was a discussion, led by William Lalicker and Wendy Olson, continuing work on a Statement of Basic Writing Principles originally generated as a draft in the CBW Workshop of 2017 led by Michael Hill, and equity for basic writing faculty remains an ongoing issue as the members of the CBW continue to work toward a final draft (see Klages-Bombich). Clearly, we still have work to do when it comes to basic writing teacher equity.
In fact, as an activist for justice in higher education, I think justice and the provision of agency for teachers is the first condition for righting some of the wrongs visited upon students, especially basic writing students. In my chapter "The Five Equities: How to Achieve a Progressive Writing Program Within a Department of English," I make faculty hiring practices the first equity. (For the whole chapter-length argument, go to https://wac.colostate.edu/books/minefield and see pages 293-320.) Although faculty of many disciplines, and even teachers of the more traditionally prestigious areas of English Studies (such as literary criticism), are suffering from a neoliberal trend that treats teaching work as piecework rather than a profession—with the shrinkage of fully professional tenure-track positions that support academic freedom and thus teaching innovation—basic writing teachers and two-year college teachers have long borne a second-class faculty status, with inimical results for their students and for our field. To summarize my "Five Equities" argument: rank and tenureability are generally tied at least partly to scholarship; scholarly production represents the prestige currency of most institutions; this prestige currency, and the policy influence that accompanies it, means power in the discussions that determine officially approved and resource-supported program conditions—that is, what we teach, how we teach, who we can teach. Basic writing needs policy influence to enact progressive program structures like the Accelerated Learning Program; to keep the number of students per class section small enough to encourage teacher-student interaction; to include support services for second language students; and for a host of needs that determine student success. And in the competition for resources, if (for instance) the literature faculty is largely tenured and promoted, producing scholarship and voting in policymaking committees in the department and division and college, but basic writing faculty are mainly part-time freeway flyers without the right, the time, or the reward system to do that policymaking, lit will get the resources and policies, and basic writing—our basic writing students—will be stuck with leftovers. Justice for basic writers requires attention to justice for basic writing faculty, this first equity.
It's not just that basic writing teachers (or composition teachers, or two-year college teachers, or non-tenure track teachers: choose the ingredients of your Venn diagram where we all meet!) usually don't receive the professorial perquisites—time and promotion for research, support for conference travel, even the recognition for innovative teaching—that literature faculty, or college faculty generally, can take for granted. It's that denying the first equity denies the value of teaching, of basic writing, of basic writers themselves.
Forty-plus years after Shaughnessy, thirty-plus years after the Wyoming Resolution championing part-time and graduate faculty rights (Robertson et al.), almost three years after "The Indianapolis Resolution: Responding to Twenty-First-Century Exigencies/Political Economies of Composition Labor" (Cox et al.), we still haven't, in our programs, adopted their principles of equity for writing faculty, in particular basic writing faculty and non-tenure-track faculty. It's not necessary that our institutions all make our lives easy, or that our departments and divisions suddenly become model employers; it's only necessary, as a start, that the material conditions under which we labor, the intellectual freedoms with which we make our teaching work for our students, match those of English faculty for whom writing is not a central concern. It matters that the first equity recognized in our striving for better basic writing is equity for basic writing teachers. It matters that basic writing teachers achieve the first equity because they do the most challenging and most important intellectual work in higher education, for students whose intellectual empowerment through their ability to communicate effectively in the dialect of authority has the most transformative potential for themselves, for the workforce, and for our larger culture.
The irony is that we're in an era when the supposedly traditional liberal arts (never mind that our field originates in the high-tradition of classical Greek rhetoric) such as literature are institutionally sidelined, as some strain to see the relevance of these disciplines when all that matters is employability in a job-insecure age. Frank Bruni's recent New York Times essay summarizes and analyzes a Chronicle of Higher Education special report with the unacademic gibe, "History is on the ebb. Philosophy is on the ropes. And comparative literature? Please"—making the point that these high-prestige traditional majors aren't what employers need (3). And although I might argue for the value of the liberal arts and against an anti-literature reconstruction some would see in the futurism of the Chronicle report (see, for instance, Selingo), nobody is disputing the value of writing. Bruni's essay is called "Aristotle's Wrongful Death"; I would argue that we should keep Aristotle the philosopher alive, but also Aristotle the rhetorician, a guiding light for our student rhetoricians in our basic writing classes. In fact, every employer survey seems to put written communication at the top of the list for academic skills that employers want (see, for instance, Hart Research Associates). Yet the institutional assumption is that literary criticism (where it still exists) requires a stable, scholarly tenure-track (where it still exists) set of teachers. Well, good for those lit teachers. But it is time to confront the injustice that teachers of writing—teachers who share the most practical and job-applicable discipline in the broader world of English Studies—and especially basic writing teachers, are still not granted equity for our vital calling. Let's apply Shaughnessy's visionary emphasis on empowering teachers to the current conditions and real needs that basic writing, with its focus on effective written communication in so many applications in our culture, can provide in the maturing 21st century. We can start by focusing on the agency of basic writing teachers as the first equity, the necessary priority.

Switzerland's Vontobel Strengthens Management Team
Stephen Little
Switzerland's has appointed Daniel Signer as head of relationship management for Swiss institutional clients.
He replaces Lukas Bolfing, who since October 2013 has been head of sales for multi-asset class investing strategies.
Signer has been with Vontobel Asset Management as senior relationship manager and deputy head of the Swiss Institutional sales team since November 2012.
Before this, he worked as senior investment consultant at Complementa, where he advised pension funds and other institutional clients in investment areas.
Last month, Vontobel said it logged record new money of SFr9.1 billion ($10.1 billion) in 2013, helping to drive up total assets under management to SFr163.1 billion at the end of December last year, up 9 per cent from a year before.
The bank also reported a net profit of SFr122.3 million, which was in line with 2012.
In other recent hires, in January Vontobel appointed Christian Hoeg as its new country manager in Germany as well as Anton Oberhofer and Thomas Haltner to its global balanced Switzerland team.

Bronchial Disorders
mchilvers@cw.bc.ca
Over the last 15 years I have developed a research interest into non-CF Bronchiectasis. This focused primarily on primary ciliary dyskinesia. I developed a new method for the evaluation of function of the microscopic hairs (cilia) which line the airways of the lung. This has been standardized and now used as an accepted method for the diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia and research platform.
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) research is another significant research area. I am the PI on several clinical trials looking at new medications in CF patients.
I coordinate the CF clinic multidisciplinary research program and this is promoting research into nursing, physiotherapy, pharmacy and dietetic issues within CF. Current themes are transitional care to adulthood; physiotherapy interventions; location of CF care and outcome in adolescence and adherence to medication. We work closely with the adult CF clinic at St. Paul's on several joint projects.

Second Navy Career
John E. Johnson was born in Houston, Mississippi in December 1926, and lived there until he was six years old. During the Great Depression, his father, a plumber, moved the family to Vardaman, about ten miles away. He went to school and lived there until he was drafted in 1944. Four of his brothers were already in the service, and because no one had yet joined the Navy, Johnson was persuaded to do so. Johnson went to boot camp at Great Lakes, Illinois, then trained for amphibious forces at Fort Pierce, Florida. The Navy was converting destroyer escorts into APDs [Annotator's Note: high speed transport ships], and Johnson was assigned to the USS Liddle (APD-60).
John E. Johnson went aboard the USS Liddle (ADP-60) in New York in September 1944, and sailed through the Panama Canal on the way to Leyte. The Allies had just invaded the Philippines, and the Liddle was among six ships transporting troops to where they were needed. After dropping troops on the beach, the Liddle was on picket duty in Ormoc Bay when Johnson saw his first live action. The ship's gunners shot down one or two airplanes, but a Kamikaze hit the bridge and killed about 35 men, including the captain, the executive officer and the ship's doctor. The first lieutenant took over the ship, and decided to save it, and he did. The original coxswain went missing, and Johnson took over that position, and that's where he stayed for the rest of the war. The ship limped back to the United States for repairs, then went back on the firing line.
John E. Johnson described accommodations on the APD [Annotator's Note: Johnson served aboard the high speed transport USS Liddle (APD-60)] as racks with mattresses, six high, that folded up. The vessel carried about 150 troops in addition to the crew of about 325. There were six specialized scouts and raiders that stayed on board as well. Johnson's duties included steering the ship, rigorous but interesting work for an 18 year old, and chipping paint and keeping the decks clean. Johnson hated that job. When Johnson shipped out of New York, he passed the Statue of Liberty, and found the experience very exciting. The crew did some training in Chesapeake Bay, practicing the procedure for launching the LCVPs [Annotator's Note: Landing Craft Vehicle, Personnel also referred to as Higgins Boats]. After getting anchorage, they would take the boats out of their divots and disembark them. The soldiers got down onto the boats using cargo nets, each LCVP carrying a total of 36 men. Johnson said they were effective vessels for the job. The USS Liddle (ADP-60) escorted LCTs [Annotator's Note: Landing Craft, Tank] and LCIs [Annotator's Note: Landing Craft, Infantry] to New Guinea, then to the Philippines, then to Palau, and back to the Philippines, all the while screening with Sonar. Until they went back to the Philippines, the vessel had no contacts, although they dropped some depth charges, and Johnson wondered when they might see some action.
John E. Johnson said he got along with everybody on his ship. He reluctantly exposed the fact that the USS Liddle (ADP-60)'s captain liked to gamble. When the vessel was not in action, the announcement, "All interested officers lay up to the ward room," would sometimes come over the ship's speakers after the evening meal. There they played cards and other gambling games. If the officers did it, the crew took it to mean they could do it too—in their own berthing spaces. Johnson wasn't a big gambler; he said he got over that real early in life; because he didn't win, he figured he'd better quit. There was very little leisure time, but when in port, there was usually a movie for entertainment. The ports passed reels around so there would be some variety in the movies the sailors watched. The Liddle could also boast possession of a little phonograph, and about five or six records that they played over and over. At night the Pacific could be calm and beautiful, especially if there was a big moon.
At Ormoc Bay, John E. Johnson drove his LCVP [Annotator's Note: Landing Craft Vehicle, Personnel also referred to as Higgins Boats] to shore and unloaded the Army combat troops he was ferrying, then went back to his ship to continue on picket duty. When the Japanese aerial attack began, the USS Liddle (ADP-60) snapped into action and shot several planes out of the air, and, Johnson said, there was one more plane destroyed, the one that dove into the Liddle's superstructure. Johnson was at his general quarters station, below decks with the repair group on the aft auxiliary steering gear. He could hear something going on, but had no information while attack was happening, and then all communications systems were knocked out. Johnson said the crew members were repeatedly cautioned not to be "a gawker," and he feels that many got killed ignoring that advice. When the ship was hit, Johnson said there was a big noise, and the telephone he was on went dead. While other guys ran up to man fire hoses, Johnson stayed with the fellow working the steering gear, relaying messages to and from the deck. Eventually Johnson ventured up to help the 1st Class Pharmacist who took over for the dead doctor. The sight on deck made Johnson sick. One of his LCVP boat crew was laid out, face white, lifeless. Afterward, they transferred the dead, dying and wounded to a hospital ship. The deceased were moved to a national burial site there in the Philippines, and Johnson thinks they remain there still. Johnson said the experience was agonizing. [Annotator's Note: Johnson takes a reflective pause.] Johnson claimed the crew had only once before seen a Kamikaze plane, when they came into Leyte Gulf. It idled right into the middle of the American ships. They could not fire at it because there were too many ships around, and the pilot slinked off. After things settled some, the crew tried to rig up the ship as best they could, and steered by telephone transmission to Ulithi. There, they repaired communications cables, so the ship could limp back to Hawaii, then on to Mare Island. The crew got 14 days' leave, but was called back early. The shipyard had requisitioned drawings from the Maine facility that built the boat, and the superstructure was refitted in record time. Eight days into his leave, Johnson got a telegram to return to the ship. It was ready to go.
John E. Johnson went back to the ship, but not all his crewmates did. After replacements came from a nearby receiving station, they were once again underway. Johnson said going back to the Pacific was "a little hairy." There were more Kamikaze planes than ever out there. Johnson's duties remained the same, as did the ship's purpose, escorting ships and transporting troops. The USS Liddle (ADP-60) did four or five small operations around Borneo and Ulithi and other smaller islands that needed mopping up. Johnson remembers going into Borneo with troops, and looking over at another small boat near a seaplane that had just landed. Out of the plane came a guy smoking a corncob pipe, and Johnson knew it had to be General MacArthur [Annotator's Note: US Army General Douglas MacArthur]. The Liddle began transporting Australian troops at that time. Johnson recalled their preference for hot beer. After the invasions at Borneo, where there was still some nasty fighting going on, the Americans began training for the invasion of Japan. Johnson said he knew that was going to be rough, and was glad it didn't have to happen. The Liddle's crew learned about the dropping of the atomic bomb and the Japanese surrender through the ship's communications system. He said those announcements were really something. The Liddle was then sent to escort destroyers at Okinawa, and continued to Korea and China to collect prisoners of war. Johnson described sailing through the mine-laden East China and Yellow Seas as "hairy." The Liddle had troops stationed on the decks with rifles, and when a mine popped up, it would be exploded by gunshot.
John E. Johnson's ship [Annotator's Note: USS Liddle (APD-60)] stayed in China for a few weeks, mostly for rest and relaxation, which he said he really enjoyed. The Liddle left China in November 1945, and took five weeks to return to the States, by way of Okinawa, where it was escorting freighters and picking up stragglers. It was then that Johnson experienced his first big typhoon. He remembers being on the helm, struggling to steady the ship through huge waves, the ship listing dramatically. The storm lasted three days. At some point, the captain radioed that it was too difficult to remain with the other ships, and request the Liddle be to cut loose to weather the storm on its own. The Liddle wound up in the South China Sea. The ship went back to the United States, arriving in New York Harbor on New Year's Day 1946. Johnson said it was beautiful to see the Statue of Liberty once again. He was discharged shortly afterward at the rank of Seaman 1st Class. Johnson went to work with his dad, but decided a career in plumbing didn't suit him, and he longed to see more of the world. Most of all, he still wanted to be an electrician so he re-enlisted. He was assigned to the USS Philippine Sea (CV-47) bound for Antarctica with Admiral Byrd's last expedition to the South Pole. Johnson started on his new career as a Fireman 1st Class, and was soon an interior communications electrician. He studied hard, knew the material almost verbatim when he tested, and was made third class electrician [Annotator's Note: Electrician's Mate 3rd Class]. He noted the big difference in being in the Navy in peacetime was that he no longer had to man battle stations. Johnson served on three successive ships: the USS Saipan (CVL-48), the USS Midway (CV-41), with a stint at shore duty in Las Cruses, New Mexico at the White Sands Proving Grounds, and the USS Antietam (CG-54), before retiring off the USS Lexington (CV-16) in Pensacola, Florida in August 1964 as an Interior Communications Electrician Chief.
John E. Johnson fought in World War 2 because he had to. He was drafted. Johnson acknowledges the war changed his life by giving him an education, a career, and a wonderful life. He does not believe Americans of today think much about the war anymore, because it was so long ago. Even he, someone who was part of it, seldom wears his Navy veteran cap, although he is proud of his service. He remembers sadly an Army friend he lost at the Battle of the Bulge, and thinks it important that institutions like The National WWII Museum and the memorial in Washington D.C. keep the memory of all those who served alive. He asserts that it was the ultimate war, the biggest ever, and he appreciates those who keep the story going.

My Noggin Universe: Official Website of Author Richard C. Meehan, Jr.
Welcome to My Noggin Universe, official website of author Richard Carl Meehan, Jr., of Spartanburg, South Carolina. That's away down South, in other words. However, I bet you can't hear my drawl too well from where you're sittin', so I'll just have to help you out a tad. Once in a while you'll read something like the "Hi, y'all." up thar. I'll put the translation beside it. In this case it means, "How are you doing? Would you like some sweet tea with lemon?" Or, maybe I'll write, "Jus' sit on down in that char right thar an' make yersef comfterble." These and other pleasantries mark the life of a good 'ole down to earth Southern Gentleman. Ahem...at least my neck ain't too red!
Now, this sheer website is constantly being updated, so you might have to check back from time to time to catch all the new stuff. Of course, every stitch of writing is for immediate sale. Just let me know yer offer an' I'll get right back with you!
I love to write - always have. Some of my stories are completely true, while others are totally not. That's the way of non-fiction and fiction. As with all writers that keep plugging at the art, my work has been published here and there over a large number of years. I've authored opinion columns, short stories, s.f., children's poems, personal experience, Christian literature, and other speculative pieces. It's not the sale of my work that counts for me, although it's a great feeling when something does sell. Instead, I take great satisfaction from knowing that I have readers. Don't get me wrong, though. Money is good. If you find something here that you like, please purchase the download or make an offer as the case may be.
Not many writers make it to the big time. Even those that do give the same advice: write, write, write, and keep on writing. One of my favorite quotes is from the great sales guru, Tom Hopkins. He said, "Never give up. Never, never, never, never..." Since my day job for the last thirty years has been to sell cleaning products to the maintenance industry, I have a unique perspective. I never give up on anything I set my mind to; I continue to strive for excellence; I know that toilet paper should be compared by basis weight to determine the best buy per pound for the money. Armed with knowledge like this, how can I not put words to paper? Maybe I'll never make it to the big time as a writer, but I can sure sell janitorial products. Hey, somebody's got to do it!
Writing is fun. Writing is work. Writing is a hobby. Writing is a waste of time. Writing won't make you rich. Perhaps writing is all of the above and more. Maybe writing is none of the above. Who cares? I feel rich every time I get a comment from a reader, positive or negative. I feel rich every time I get a rejection letter: someone may have read my work. When I complete another piece, I feel rich. I am enriched by the simple act of word-crafting. I hope you enjoy my website.
------- Richard C. Meehan, Jr.
There's never enough time to have all the fun.
There's never enough time to finish what you start.
There's never enough time for anything.


I enjoyed this historical novel. There is horror, revenge and love. It is a story that shows the atrocity of the Nazi regime and the survival of the human spirit. Katerina is shown kindness when needed, and this helps her survive and be able to love again. This balances all the emotions throughout the story. I know many people's stories did not end so well during and after the war, but it is nice to see a positive ending to this story.
A story set around the time of the suffragette movement and was both heartbreaking and inspiring. The author evoked the time period well. There was a great set of characters representing the different types of women involved in the struggle and the effect they had on the community and each other. The story included scenes that I have read about before, such as the hunger strikes and forced feeding and secret meetings and riots, but it still added my knowledge and personal experience.
I was slowly drawn into this fractured family trying to live (I should say survive) in the Nebraska Sand Hills after two bodies are discovered. You are then taken through the events following this discovery and the events that led up to the murders. The story was harsh, sad, hopeful and a good history lesson, a very good western story. I learnt about the horror of Wounded Knee and the harsh life of a rancher. And like any good western it had a touch of romance as well.
Historical fiction based on fact. Told through the eyes of Adele, whose portrait is painted by Klimt, and her niece Maria, who flees Vienna during World War II. Although their stories are decades apart they share a strength of spirit. They were remarkale women. The story balances the excesses of Vienna's Succession Art Movement with the Nazi rule and dispossession of Jewish wealth. I love a story that invites me to explore the topic further, I was looking at the artists mentioned and their work. You will want to watch the movie Woman in gold after reading this story.


A Baylor University study examines how an individual's feelings toward a divine higher-power and the type of prayer they engage in can affect symptoms of anxiety.
While some studies support the idea that a secure attachment to God is correlated with a more satisfied life and less feelings of depression and loneliness, a new study from Baylor University shows that the type of attachment people feel towards a divine higher-power and the type of prayer they engage in can also affect symptoms of anxiety. The study, which was published in the journal Sociology and Religion and funded by the John Templeton Foundation, examined how people prayed and the type of attachment they had to God. With this information, therapists and religious leaders alike can encourage the type of prayer that leads to a more positive relationship with God, a process which could ease anxiety in more religious individuals.
How often do you attend religious services and worship?
About how often do you spend time alone praying, outside of religious services?
How religious do you consider yourself to be?
The study also measured participants' responses to statements about their relationship to God. The responses were measured on a four-item scale ranging from "not true" to "very true."
Based on the participants' responses, researchers came to several perplexing conclusions. There was no meaningful association between the frequency of prayer and the easing of anxiety symptoms. It was the way God was perceived that predicted mental health outcomes. People who pray to a god that was seen as secure, loving, or supportive reaped clear mental health benefits. On the other hand, people that prayed to a god that was seen as distant or unresponsive had elevated anxiety symptoms.
There are many different ways to calm anxiety and achieve a positive mental state. Yoga, deep breathing exercises, therapy, and medication can all help to calm anxiety. This research suggests that prayer and a belief in God can also help. However, if a person with anxiety believes in God, then he or she should be directed to believe that God is loving. Otherwise, that belief in God could harm the person's mental health, rather than help it.
This study also emphasizes the need for people to seek out help from a religious leader, a therapist, or both. Teaching that God loves and cares about humans can play an integral role in easing anxiety in religious people and directing them towards the path to a healthy life.


Gosh, this is sad news. The label that was home at one point or another to Screeching Weasel, Green Day, Avail, Rancid, and Operation Ivy, among others, stopped putting out new music in 2005, and since then has struggled to right the ship. Unfortunately, losing their distributor, CD printer, and mail order provider in the span of a year was too much to overcome. This is a microcosm of something, but really the label kind of died in 2005 when they gambled on new bands with money owed to the higher earning older bands. They lost and thus lost the rights to Green Day and Op Ivy's back catalog. The specifics aren't clear in their blog post, but it looks like their sending everything left over back to the bands. Here's an interview with Lookout Records co-founder, Larry Livermore.
Lookout Records will be closing its doors over the next few months. Most people that are reading this know that the label stopped releasing material towards the end of 2005. It was then that Lookout ended its long relationships with Green Day, Operation Ivy and a few other artists. That development meant significantly scaling down the business, which included letting the staff go and moving from the label's Berkeley headquarters and warehouse into a small office.
It wasn't easy to keep catalog items in print and that became especially challenging when our primary compact disc manufacturer and our distribution partner Lumberjack-Mordam went out of business unexpectedly. Having our physical distributor and a manufacturer go belly up disrupted our sales, meant a significant loss of income, and caused inventory and accounting problems. The next year when our mail order partner, Little Type, went out of business, Lookout was also dealt another significant blow. We did our best to resolve the issued caused by these developments but both ultimately amounted to a lot more work and severely impacted income.


The business end of the year requires more intense study and revision patterns, and the library may not always provide the best space for this to occur. The following is a timetable where for any given Period 2, 3 or 4 of the week, Y13 students can seek out one of these rooms for quiet and focused study.
To use the room, make an arrangement with the teacher who teaches in this space that they will leave the door unlocked for you, or ask a teacher of a neighbouring classroom to open it up is required.
Study in these spaces should be quiet and focused. For group study sessions please use the library.
Respect the spaces. Should any misuse occur, the privilege of using these classrooms independently may be lost.
Any questions, please ask any member of the guidance team.

If you're jonesing for an extraterrestrial, you should check out The Close Encounters Man by Mark O'Connell. O'Connell, a writer for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and founder of the UFO blog High Strangeness, set out to write 'a UFO book people wouldn't need to hide from other people.' He found his ideal subject in J. Allen Hynek, the astronomer hired by the United States Air Force in 1948... In telling the life story of Hynek, the 'astro-beatnik,' O'Connell winds up with a stunning panorama of the UFO movement — from fringe conspiracy theorists to amateur astronomers to agnostic scientists — as well as its colossal impact on pop culture and modern science.
A new biography reveals how Hynek's life and legend exemplify a lost era. UFO sightings still make the news, but Hynek was something different: a public intellectual who told us to watch the skies ... In The Close Encounters Man, Mark O'Connell notes that Spielberg's friend suggested the title to the director after reading Hynek's book The UFO Experience ... His [Hynek's] contributions were brief, but as McConnell demonstrates, cultural history is often the result of unlikely coincidence ... Hynek is a deserving subject, but O'Connell's book also is notable as a methodical history of the UFO phenomena in America—a story so often overshadowed by the Roswell incident ... McConnell's a great storyteller, and that's what needed in a history of American ufology: someone to connect the dots into a narrative.
In The Close Encounters Man: How One Man Made the World Believe in UFOs, screenwriter Mark O'Connell recounts the gradual evolution of J. Allen Hynek, an Air Force astronomer, from UFO debunker to believer ... Methodical and undogmatic, Hynek could not have been further from the kooky, paranoid stereotype of a UFO enthusiast. He seemed to be exactly the man who could be counted on to dismiss the phenomenon. Instead, he became its biggest advocate ... It's clear that O'Connell, who maintains a UFO blog of his own, wants readers to come away from his book agreeing with Hynek.

Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (11-9) vs. Florida International Panthers (9-11)
January 26, 2023 7:00 pm EDT
The Line: Florida International Panthers +1.5 / Western Kentucky Hilltoppers -1.5; Over/Under: +143.5
The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers and the FIU Panthers meet in college basketball action from the Ocean Bank Convocation Center on Thursday. Let's dive into the odds, injuries, matchup history and make a prediction for this game.
Western Kentucky is listed as a 1.5-point road favorite with a ML price of -125. The total for this game is set at 143.5 points.
For Western Kentucky, Luke Frampton is out for the season with a knee injury while Jamarion Sharp is questionable with a knee injury of his own while Austin Williams remains out for FIU with an undisclosed injury.
Matchup History
Western Kentucky's 70-59 win over FIU back on January 14th, 2023, made it 4 wins in the last 5 for the Hilltoppers and 5 straight wins for the home team in this head-to-head matchup.
Western Kentucky is 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a loss and 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games following an ATS loss while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games against a team with a losing record. FIU is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games against a team with a winning road record while the over is 8-2 in their last 10 games against a team with a winning record.
I'm leaning towards the over here. Not a game I think I'm overly eager to bet, but both teams can score and both have been giving up well into the 70s on the defensive end more often than not this season. The case could be made for either side in this game so give me the over as the more definitive play here.

Q: Docker dynamic load balancing with Nginx I'm doing an internship focused on Docker and I have to load-balance an application which have a client, a server and a database. I use Nginx as a load-balancer and my goal is to dynamically scale the number of server containers according their CPU usage. For instance if the CPU usage is over 60% I want to add a new container on the fly without restarting Nginx to divide the CPU usage.
I have to modify the nginx.conf file to add a new container but I have to restart the Nginx container to apply the changes, which is very slow.
So my question is : is there a (free) way to do it dynamically ?
Tell me if you want further information and forgive my poor english.
Thanks.
EDIT : I did as @Konstantin Azizov told me :
docker cp ./new.conf $(docker ps -f "name=dockerizedrubis_nginx" -q ):/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
docker exec $(docker ps -f "name=dockerizedrubis_nginx" -q) bash -c 'kill -HUP $(cat /run/nginx.pid)'
docker exec $(docker ps -f "name=dockerizedrubis_nginx" -q) bash -c '/etc/init.d/nginx reload'

The configuration file is well pasted in the container supporting Nginx, I send the HUP signal to reconfigure the Nginx process et then I reload to apply my changes. There are no errors and the reload on-the-fly works fine but my new nodes are not taken into account by Nginx, the requests are still only directed to the first node created ...
EDIT 2 : I found the origin of the problem. It seems like in order to update the /etc/hosts of a container after a 'docker-compose scale', this container needs to be stopped, removed and restarted. In my case, I really don't want to stop the container supporting Nginx.
Question : Anyone has an idea of how to update /etc/hosts of a container after a re-scale without having to restart the container (beside a dirty script) ?
Thanks.

A: Unfortunately there is no easy(free) way to change configuration without restarting, the only way to achieve zero-downtime scaling it's graceful restart, when you restarting Nginx gracefully it will spawn new instance with new configuration wait until it boots up and then kill old instance with the previous configuration.
See official guide.

A: I used the nginx-proxy image from Json Wilder for a while to load balance between containers, and it works for more than one scalable service. It monitors the docker daemon and if an event happens it rebuilds the nginx config file adding the new container instances when you are scaling out or removing it if you are scaling in.
Since Docker 1.10 (not sure if this is the correct version) there is a internal DNS embedded into Docker daemon, so since then I am using the round robin feature from it. Now I am using the oficial nginx image to proxy pass the requests to the a domain that I define as alias into network options. I do not know if I was clear due to my poor english but I believe my Github example may help.
