Graber was injured when he fell down a workplace stairway. The accident's cause remains a mystery. Graber had no direct recollection of falling and there were no witnesses. The Board denied Graber's claim. It construed the statutory "idiopathic causes" exclusion broadly to cover all unknown causes. A Court of Appeals panel reversed, defining the term more narrowly [Graber v. Dillon Companies, 52 Kan. App. 2d 786, 377 P.3d 1183 (2016)]. Graber's employer petitioned the Kansas Supreme Court for review.
At the core of the dispute was a 2011 amendment to the Kansas Workers' Compensation Act, which provides, in relevant part, that benefits may not be awarded if the accident or injury "arose either directly or indirectly from idiopathic causes" [Emphasis added; Kan. Stat. Ann. § 44-508(f)(3)(A)(iv)(2018)].
Initially, the Supreme Court repeated the usual compensation formula, that benefits are to be paid for repetitive trauma or occupational disease arising out of and in the course of employment …" [Kan. Stat. Ann. § 44-501b(b)(2018)]. The Court added that the two phrases have separate and distinct meanings; they are conjunctive, and each condition must exist before compensation is allowable.
The Court continued that the distinction the employer advocated based on its facts "ignored the source of Hensley's 'neutral' characterization—Larson's treatise" [opinion, p. 24]. According to the Court, Professor Larson conceptualized various risk categories as encompassing all possible risks that could result in a workplace injury. The Court continued that Larson defined risks distinctly associated with employment and personal risks as the two ends of the risk continuum. The former "comprises all the obvious kinds of injury that one thinks of at once as industrial injury … machinery breaking, objects falling, explosives exploding, tractors tipping, fingers getting caught in gears, excavations caving in, and so on …" [quoting Larson, § 4.01]. The latter includes "origins of harm so clearly personal that, even if they take effect while the employee is on the job, they could not possibly be attributed to the employment" [quoting Larson, § 4.02].
Another kind of neutral-risk case is that in which the cause itself, or the character of the cause, is simply unknown. An employee may be found to have died on the job from unexplained causes, or he or she may suffer a slip or fall for no reason that anyone, including the employee, can explain. An employee may be attacked by unknown persons, whose motives may have been personal or related to the employment." (Emphases added by Court) [Larson's, § 4.03].
The Court concluded that the plain language of K.S.A. 2018 Supp. 44-508(f)(3)(A)(iv) rendered an injury non-compensable only upon proof the injury or accident arose directly or indirectly from a medical condition or medical event of unknown origin peculiar to the claimant. The Court added, "The term 'idiopathic' as used in the caselaw and its definition in workers compensation treatises add persuasive heft to this conclusion" [opinion pp. 28-29].

For times when a snow professional is less concerned with moving snow for routine chores or not specifically recruited for a rescue operation, the Voilé Telepack Mini Avalanche Shovel is an even smaller alternative to our Telepack shovel.
The Telepack Mini features a more compact scoop and a slightly-shorter, T-handle (rather than a D-grip) for easy stowage inside a pack. Otherwise, the shovel performs equally well as the Telepack, and also features the same pair of deadman holes for rigging an emergency sled or snow fluke.
Once again, the 6061-T6 aluminum used in the Telepack Mini scoop really shines in challenging snow and debris. T6 is the level of hardness reached in the aluminum heat-treating process, resulting in a metal that rivals steel for strength and rigidity, at a fraction of the weight.
The Voilé Telepack Mini Avalanch Shovel: A great choice for pros on the move or any backcountry enthusiast who wants peace of mind.

Q: prime numbers program gives wrong answer I recently created a program which will tell you if a number is prime or not. It gets all answers right but the prime number of 9.
package main

import "fmt"

func isPrime(num int) bool {
    for x := 2; x > 1; x++ {
        if num%2 == 0 {
            return false
        } else {
            return true
        }
    }
    return true
}

func main() {
    fmt.Printf("is it a prime number: %v \n", isPrime(9))
}

What is the problem?
Thanks in advance!

A: 1- Here is the working version of your code: try it on The Go Playground.
package main

import "fmt"

func isPrime(num int) bool {
    if num < 2 {
        return false
    }
    for x := 2; x < num; x++ {
        if num%x == 0 {
            return false
        }
    }
    return true
}

func main() {
    fmt.Printf("is it a prime number: %v \n", isPrime(9))
}

2- The only even prime is 2, so it is better to check it first:
if n == 2 {
    return true
}

Then there is no other even prime number: remove them all, and there is no prime number less than 2:
if n < 2 || n&1 == 0 {
    return false
}

and you don't need to check more than square root of n:
sqrt := int(math.Sqrt(float64(n)))

And now you may start from 3, with just odd numbers (i += 2):
for i := 3; i <= sqrt; i += 2 {
    if n%i == 0 {
        return false
    }
}

Try it on The Go Playground:
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "math"
)

func isPrime(n int) bool {
    if n == 2 {
        return true
    }
    if n < 2 || n&1 == 0 {
        return false
    }
    sqrt := int(math.Sqrt(float64(n)))
    for i := 3; i <= sqrt; i += 2 {
        if n%i == 0 {
            return false
        }
    }
    return true
}

func main() {
    fmt.Printf("is it a prime number: %v \n", isPrime(9))
    for i := 0; i < 120; i++ {
        if isPrime(i) {
            fmt.Print(i, " ")
        }
    }
    fmt.Println()
}

output:
is it a prime number: false
2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 97 101 103 107 109 113

See:
Prime number
Generating primes

A: As it is, your code is only checking if a number's parity and returning false if it is even. I don't actually know Go, but I did manage to work out this problem for you using the following code:
func isPrime(num int) bool {
    for x := 2; x < num; x++{
        if num%x == 0 && num!=2{
            return false
        }
    }return true;
}

A: According to prime number definition A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself, in your code you're only checking if it's odd or not.
I left you a fast solution in Go https://play.golang.org/p/2XXTUFbjhy It does only go until the square root of the number.
func isPrime(n int) bool {
    if n <= 1 {
        return false
    }
    for ix, sqn := 2, int(math.Sqrt(float64(n))); ix <= sqn; ix++ {
        if n%ix == 0 {
            return false
        }
    }
    return true
}

Also if you're interested in a faster way to know if a number is primer or not I recommend you read about the Sieve of Eratosthenes

Old plywood boards cover the windows of an abandoned building. They are worn by weather and scratched and stencilled with letters and partly concealed words. On a painted white square someone has written 'Dirge' in green.
Wiki tells us that a dirge is a somber song or lament expressing mourning or grief such as would be appropriate for performance at a funeral. The word is also commonly used to describe singing in an un-tuneful manner. Used here it is probably just the street name of the writer, however, the artist and poet in me sees it, in context, as a theme / title for the art work my eyes construct from the whole board. The board is a dirge, a lament for the passing of old buildings, their past inhabitants and time itself – it's evocation is somber as the board is somber and its visual 'singing' is 'un-tuneful' in the sense that the board is out-of-tune with the aesthetics of conventional visual art work.
The eponymous poem that follows is about fragmented and futile moments such as are reflected in this post and much of street art. It is about the life of an individual that shrivels amid the institutions and forces of contemporary life. It is about the loss of personal experience in the world of mass culture.

A woman in nothing but a pair of black high heels was detained this week after an officer spotted her in the center grass median of Glenoaks Boulevard.
An officer driving on Glenoaks near Alameda Avenue spotted the naked woman, Khadisha Baseer, about 6:41 p.m. Tuesday standing in the median where children and parents pushing strollers were walking in the neighborhood, Glendale Police Sgt. Tom Lorenz said.
As the officer tried approaching Baseer, she reportedly started yelling "Tiger sharks are chasing me" and ran into the westbound traffic lane, where she was almost hit by a passing vehicle, according to Glendale police reports.
The officer detained Baseer because her behavior was "bizarre and dangerous," police said.
Her age was not immediately available Friday.
The spectacle nearly caused collisions as drivers stopped in the roadway, police said.
Other passersby were filming and taking photographs of Baseer as she walked naked along the street, police said.
FOR THE RECORD: Police previously said the woman was arrested, but she was detained. Police could not disclose her status, citing medical privacy laws.

"Unique Characters" by Mahn Kloix in Poitiers, France
French artist Mahn Kloix just worked on his latest project "Unique Characters". "Unique Characters" is an exploration project of the neighborhood of Belair, Poitiers. A total of 10 building facades supported murals showcasing portraits of selected inhabitants.
Belair, Poitiers is a suburban neighborhood in a city province of 90,000 inhabitants — building bars backing onto the airport, immaculate facades, an underprivileged population. The neighborhood is a key player in this region, creator of social links, cultural agitator and driving force of the daily life of the residents.
The subjects of the portraits in this project were chosen by the inhabitants themselves. With the support of the team from the social center, which knows the neighborhood well, the residents were asked to vote for those whose portrait they would like to see on their walls. In the end, about fifteen inhabitants were picked with a range of ages, genders and of origins.
During the photoshoot, the models were captured on the spot by photographer Mugur Enea. The residents conveyed their characters through different expressions – sweet, loving, combative, proud, happy… Some of the residents over 80 years old participated in their first shoot. Odette, aged 85, even asked the team to play her some music because she wanted to dance.
Mahn dives back into this photographic material to conceptualize and work on his murals with graphite mine. The portraits were done with strong freehand lines.
Mahn Kloix originally began painting in urban spaces in New York City. Heavily influenced by the street art scene, Kloix's contemporary fluid and free figuration is also expressed on canvas and paper. He pays tribute to young protesters in Istanbul, Tunisia, and Athens by conveying their similarities in his works. Their portraits are a leitmotif to highlight human and environmental struggles.
Between a communist grandfather and parents who were staunch, active union members, Mahn Kloix grew up in a family of activists, motivated by the major combats of the social Left. Despite the card-carrying activism hovering over his head, the young man himself would choose a path where there was no party, but just as much commitment — artistic creation.

THE basis of the teaching of Bahá'u'lláh is the Unity of Mankind, and His greatest desire was that love and goodwill should live in the heart of men.
As He exhorted the people to do away with strife and discord, so I wish to explain to you the principal reason of the unrest among nations. The chief cause is the misrepresentation of religion by the religious leaders and teachers. They teach their followers to believe that their own form of religion is the only one pleasing to God, and that followers of any other persuasion are condemned by the All-Loving Father and deprived of His Mercy and Grace. Hence arise among the peoples, disapproval, contempt, disputes and hatred. If these religious prejudices could be swept away, the nations would soon enjoy peace and concord.
"O Jews, you are in truth the people of God! All other races and religions are of the devil. God has created you the descendants of Abraham, and He has showered His blessings upon you. Unto you God sent Moses, Jacob and Joseph, and many other great prophets. These prophets, one and all, were of your race.
"It was for you that God broke the power of Pharaoh and caused the Red Sea to dry up; to you also He sent manna from above to be your food, and out of the stony rock did He give you water to quench your thirst. You are indeed the chosen people of God, you are above all the races of the earth! Therefore, all other races are abhorrent to God, and condemned by Him. In truth you will govern and subdue the world, and all men shall become your slaves.
When the Rabbi had finished his eloquent discourse, his hearers were filled with joy and satisfaction. It is impossible to describe to you their happiness!
Alas! It is misguided ones like these who are the cause of division and hatred upon earth. Today there are millions of people who still worship idols, and the great religions of the world are at war among themselves. For 1,300 years, Christians and Muslims have been quarreling, when with very little effort their differences and disputes could be overcome and peace and harmony could exist between them and the world could be at rest!
This is what Muḥammad taught His people concerning Jesus and Moses, and He reproached them for their lack of faith in these great Teachers, and taught them the lessons of truth and tolerance. Muḥammad was sent from God to work among a people as savage and uncivilized as the wild beasts. They were quite devoid of understanding, nor had they any feelings of love, sympathy and pity. Women were so degraded and despised that a man could bury his daughter alive, and he had as many wives to be his slaves as he chose.
Among these half animal people Muḥammad was sent with His divine Message. He taught the people that idol worship was wrong, and that they should reverence Christ, Moses and the Prophets. Under His influence they became a more enlightened and civilized people and arose from the degraded state in which He found them. Was not this a good work, and worthy of all praise, respect and love?
Look at the Gospel of the Lord Christ and see how glorious it is! Yet even today men fail to understand its priceless beauty and misinterpret its words of wisdom.
Christ forbade war! When the disciple Peter, thinking to defend his Lord, cut off the ear of the servant of the High Priest, Christ said to him: "Put up thy sword into the sheath."1 Yet, in spite of the direct command of the Lord they profess to serve—men still dispute, make war, and kill one another, and His counsels and teaching seem quite forgotten.
But do not therefore attribute to the Masters and Prophets the evil deeds of their followers. If the priests, teachers and people, lead lives which are contrary to the religion they profess to follow, is that the fault of Christ or the other Teachers?
The people of Islám were taught to realize how Jesus came from God and was born of the Spirit, and that He must be glorified of all men. Moses was a prophet of God, and revealed in His day and for the people to whom He was sent, the Book of God.
Muḥammad recognized the sublime grandeur of Christ and the greatness of Moses and the prophets. If only the whole world would acknowledge the greatness of Muḥammad and all the Heaven-sent Teachers, strife and discord would soon vanish from the face of the earth, and God's Kingdom would come among men.
The people of Islám who glorify Christ are not humiliated by so doing.
Christ was the Prophet of the Christians, Moses of the Jews—why should not the followers of each prophet recognize and honor the other prophets also? If men could only learn the lesson of mutual tolerance, understanding, and brotherly love, the unity of the world would soon be an established fact.
Bahá'u'lláh spent His life teaching this lesson of Love and Unity. Let us then put away from us all prejudice and intolerance, and strive with all our hearts and souls to bring about understanding and unity between Christians and Muslims.
I hope you are all happy and well. I am not happy, but very sad. The news of the Battle of Benghazi grieves my heart. I wonder at the human savagery that still exists in the world! How is it possible for men to fight from morning until evening, killing each other, shedding the blood of their fellowmen: And for what object? To gain possession of a part of the earth! Even the animals, when they fight, have an immediate and more reasonable cause for their attacks! How terrible it is that men, who are of the higher kingdom, can descend to slaying and bringing misery to their fellow-beings, for the possession of a tract of land!
However great the conqueror, however many countries he may reduce to slavery, he is unable to retain any part of these devastated lands but one tiny portion—his tomb! If more land is required for the improvement of the condition of the people, for the spread of civilization (for the substitution of just laws for brutal customs)—surely it would be possible to acquire peaceably the necessary extension of territory.
There is nothing so heartbreaking and terrible as an outburst of human savagery!
Do not despair! Work steadily. Sincerity and love will conquer hate. How many seemingly impossible events are coming to pass in these days! Set your faces steadily towards the Light of the World. Show love to all; "Love is the breath of the Holy Spirit in the heart of Man." Take courage! God never forsakes His children who strive and work and pray! Let your hearts be filled with the strenuous desire that tranquillity and harmony may encircle all this warring world. So will success crown your efforts, and with the universal brotherhood will come the Kingdom of God in peace and goodwill.
Oh, you of the Western nations, be kind to those who come from the Eastern world to sojourn among you. Forget your conventionality when you speak with them; they are not accustomed to it. To Eastern peoples this demeanor seems cold, unfriendly. Rather let your manner be sympathetic. Let it be seen that you are filled with universal love. When you meet a Persian or any other stranger, speak to him as to a friend; if he seems to be lonely try to help him, give him of your willing service; if he be sad console him, if poor succor him, if oppressed rescue him, if in misery comfort him. In so doing you will manifest that not in words only, but in deed and in truth, you think of all men as your brothers.

Techregister > Science > India needs low-input, high-output agriculture. This cannot be achieved without science and technology
India needs low-input, high-output agriculture. This cannot be achieved without science and technology
In the current debate on agricultural reforms, an important aspect has been forgotten — the role of agricultural R&D in supporting the farming systems. Supposing farmers in Punjab, Haryana and western UP, who are in the forefront of the current agitation, had alternative crops that could replace rice and wheat or both and were as remunerative as the two cereal crops, would they be braving the cold and COVID-19? The answer is they would have already moved on.
The current debates are mainly on minimum support price, reducing farmers' debt liabilities, reducing post-harvest losses, cash transfers to keep farming viable for the smallholders, and marketing reforms. Very little attention is being given to reducing the natural resource inputs — most critical being water —and agricultural R&D. India and many other parts of the world with entrenched poverty require low-input, high-output agriculture; low input in terms of both natural resources and monetary inputs. This cannot be achieved without science and technology.
Agriculture inputs that can be estimated in monetary terms are irrigation, tilling and harvesting, fertilizers, agrochemicals and seeds. India receives around 4,000 billion cubic meters (bcm) of rainfall, but a large part of it falls in the east. Moreover, most of the rain is received within 100 hours of torrential downpour, making water storage and irrigation critical for agriculture. India has one of the highest water usages for agriculture in the world — of the total 761 bcm withdrawals of water, 688 bcm (90.5 per cent) goes into agriculture leaving 17 bcm (1.2 per cent) for industry and 56 bcm for municipal use. In comparison, China uses 385.2 bcm (64.4 per cent) out of the total withdrawals of 598.1 bcm for agriculture. Their per-unit land productivity in terms of crop production is almost two to three times more.
The total estimated groundwater depletion in India is in the range of 122-199 bcm as calculated from the observation wells (1996-2016) and satellite data (2002-2016). The depletion is highest in Punjab, Haryana, and western UP. Why are farmers from these regions still insisting on continuing with the wheat-rice cycle? The fact is that agricultural research has neither provided alternative, equally remunerative crops nor farming systems that would reduce natural resource inputs.

Wheat and rice are exceptionally high-yielding crops, the third being hybrid maize. Years of intense research on yield increase and yield protection by breeding varieties and hybrids resistant to pests and pathogens has made these crops stable high yielders. Maize can be a replacement for rice — however, maize is used as livestock and poultry feed. Due to low purchasing power amongst the poor, the demand for maize is not as extensive in India as in the western world and east Asia. I have often heard environmentalists suggest replacing rice with coarse grain crops — millets, sorghum etc. Currently, these crops are pushed to the most marginal dryland areas. However, the yields of these crops are not comparable to those of wheat and rice even when protective irrigation is available. These crops have a serious R&D deficit leading to low yield potential as well as losses to pests and pathogens.
This leaves us with pulses and oilseeds. In the 2017-18 fiscal year, India imported around Rs 76,000 crore worth of edible oils. Three oilseed crops (mustard, soybean, and groundnut) are already grown very extensively. Soybean and groundnut are legume crops and fix their nitrogen. All three crops not only provide edible oils but are also an excellent source of protein-rich seed or seed meal for livestock and poultry. Unfortunately, yields of the three crops are stagnating in India at around 1.1 tons per hectare, significantly lower than the global averages. Even if we grow these crops in Punjab, Haryana, and western UP, diseases and pests tend to negatively impact any yield gains.
READ Depression linked to increased risk of heart disease and stroke, study says
In evolutionary biology, the interaction between pests/pathogens and their hosts at the gene or the organism level has been described as the great "arms race". The host evolves defences against a pathogen, which goes under intense selection pressure for the emergence of a mechanism that would overcome the host defences. Just as human beings are vulnerable to some major pests and pathogens, every crop has enemies — viruses, bacteria, fungi, oomycetes, nematodes, insects and large herbivores, weeds, even parasitic plants. One way is to let the "arms race" run its course. The other way, a hallmark of the human species, is to use accumulated knowledge.
Pests and pathogens can be best tackled by agrochemicals or by genetic interventions. Total pesticide consumption at the global level has increased from 2.4 million tonnes in 1990 to about 4 million tonnes in 2011; thereafter, the consumption is steady. The flattening of the curve reflects the use of some new generation of molecules that are effective in lesser quantities. A recent global level study on crop losses in the main food security hotspots for five major crops showed significant losses to pests — on average for wheat 21.5 per cent, rice 20 per cent, maize 22.5 per cent, potato 17.2 per cent, and soybean 21.4 per cent. Losses in the low yield areas are more as farmers cannot afford the cost of pesticides.
India is one of the lowest users of pesticides. In 2014, comparative use of pesticides in kilograms per hectare in some select countries/regions is as following: Africa 0.30, India 0.36, EU countries 3.09, China 14.82, and Japan 15.93. A study conducted to estimate the yield losses to weeds between 2003-2014 by the All India Coordinated Research Project on Weed Management has revealed losses between 14 and 36 per cent, with soybean and groundnut showing the highest losses — more than 30 per cent. Estimated yield losses due to weeds alone are around Rs 80,000 crore annually.

A more benign method for dealing with pests is through breeding. The Green Revolution technologies were based on the effective use of germplasm and strong phenotypic selections. Astounding developments in molecular biology in the early second half of the 20th century and their translation into recombinant DNA technologies since the 1970s have brought forth unprecedented opportunities for genetic improvement of crops. Since 2000, genomes of all the major crops have been sequenced. More recently, primary germplasm and the wild relatives of the major crops have also been sequenced. The big challenge is in the effective utilisation of the enormous sequence data that is available. India's efforts in all three areas are half-hearted. There is currently a virtual paralysis on the use of genetic engineering and gene editing technologies.
Investments in R&D in general are low. Over the last 20 years, India has been spending between 0.7 to 0.8 per cent of its GDP on R&D, way below the percentage of GDP spent by the developing countries and Asia's rapidly growing economies. There are structural issues like lack of competent human resources and lack of policy clarity. However, the biggest impediment to agricultural R&D has been overzealous opposition to the new technologies from ideologues of the left and right.
Maybe the present crisis would lead to a greater appreciation of the need for strong public supported R&D in agriculture.

I'm so looking forward to visiting all my friends in Cleveland for the Northern Ohio Human Resources Conference next month. I couldn't resist sharing a photo from the last time I was in the Cleveland area (circa March 2008). Crossing my fingers for some warmer weather.

I think it's also a good idea to keep an open mind when starting a new position, I wish I would have told more hr people that when they started working for me.


We are honored to announce that our animated short film Ascension has been nominated for the ARIEL (Mexican Academy of Film Award) in the best animated short film category.
The idea of Ascension came from the general feeling of asfixia that living in Mexico City provoked in us. It is such a big place that it can be overwhelming. Apart from the many great things it offers, once in a while it just feels like hell.
The conceptualization of hell city is directly inspired from the Mexican metropolis. An eclectic mix of old and new, expensive and dirt cheap, wonderful and terrible.
There are also elements inspired by World War II, the propaganda, the industrial omnipresence and the color palette of the wardrobe. Hell was conceptualized as a dictatorship, a place of permanent war and oppression where the devils are divided into races, each with their unique purpose and with no hope for redemption.
The main character, Nisroc, disrupts this infernal order when a strange phenomenon infects him with a unique illness, attracting the wrath of every devil he encounters.
This is our first 3D animated film and because we are live action directors we chose Motion Capture over other techniques to be able to work closely with actors to develop each character.
Imagination is a super power. When you start the process of materializing it you can truly appreciate its infinite complexity. It's been a hell of a ride.
A unique story is a rare flower that grows in unlikely places. Sometimes it flourishes within the depth of the mind and sometimes it thrives at the base of a mountain under the scorching Mexican sun.
With our lungs filled with dust and our eyes ripe to see a mirage we met an unlikely being with an extraordinary life.
The only sensible thing to do when exposed to such a strange coincidence is to follow its lead... to wherever it might take us.
We had the honor to present "Happiness" at the 32nd Festival International de Cine en Guadalajara (FICG 32) last weekend.
There is something exhilarating about being in a film festival competing alongside other filmmakers. There is also a sense of completion and the sensation that your film is right where it needs to be: on a big screen, watched by an audience.
Here are some impressions and sensations of the experience of the city and the festival.
After three days of projections, networking and conferences it was time to go back. We concluded our experience with one last big party.
A flurry of stories, all different but similar, united through the love and dedication to cinema. We are very fortunate to be part of that amazing community.
After a big year of work filled with a lot of challenges, our latest film finally sees the light! Happiness is the second part of "A Trilogy of Solitude" that started long time ago with "The Fisherman".
Shot with anamorphic lenses in a very particular location that seemed almost at the end of the world, the film tells the story of an old lady and her own recipe for happiness.
Like any indie project all the cast and crew worked their magic to make things happen. We are so grateful to have found the talented people that collaborated with us in this adventure. Here is just a sneak peek of the VFXs that enhance the surrealism of the film.
Starting the year with great news. ASCENSION competing at SAYULITA FILM FESTIVAL!
2016 - This was one of the most fulfilling and beautiful projects we had the opportunity to make this year. Surrounding ourselves with inspiring people is what keeps us going.
Thanks to all the artists and everyone that followed the episodes of THE ART OF BEING MEXICAN for this 1st Season.

Dragons watching over you, in The Yealm Topping Out Ceremony
The world watched aghast as the flames ravaged Notre Dame last month, and all eyes turned upwards towards the guardians perched high on the cathedral's majestic towers.
The Gargoyles and Chimera that adorn this renowned church, the soul of Paris, serve different purposes. Gargoyles are carved drain spouts, designed to carry rainwater away from the building to project the masonry from water damage and Chimera are ornamental-only sculptures.
Simon Friend of Red Earth, owner of the landmark redevelopment of The Yealm, knows a thing or two about Wyvern – a winged, two-legged Chimera dragon with a barbed tail. He is repairing six of them to reinstate and decorate the new roof of The Yealm, situated in the heart of the twin riverside villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo.
Simon Friend, Director of Red Earth commented: "To commemorate the Topping Out Ceremony we are reinstating the stunning roof-top dragons, which have been repaired by local historical monuments and buildings restoration specialist Guy Marsh, from Chumleigh. The dragons are earthenware terracotta and likely date from 1898 when the hotel was first built."
Ornamental roof adornments, similar to The Yealm dragons were used in ancient China and Rome to deter evil spirits. Restoration work included: replacing two missing heads, two tails, two wings, five forearms and the odd leg.
Devon Contractors were appointed as the main contractor for the £4.9m conversion of the former Yealm Hotel into six luxury apartments, together with a further eight new-build apartments in the grounds and one stunning contemporary house; all with riverside views and private woodland.
The independent contractors are well advanced on the three new builds of this project, and refurbishment of the former hotel is progressing well with internal fitout works now commencing on some of the floors. They are on target for completion in the autumn.
Nick England – Director /(Contracts Manager - Devon Contractors said: "Converting an old building is always very challenging, particularly with the structural make-up unknown until we start opening this up, and the original roof was also in a very poor state of repair." He adds: "Simon Friend has a wealth of experience in the development process and our working relationship with the client has been excellent. He's very hands-on and knows exactly what he wants and gives clear direction. We've been delighted to work on such a prestigious project in an outstanding location."
Exeter-based Grainge Architects are leading the design on this project, having worked from initial conception, through the planning process and to production of construction information.
Director James Brookes, Director - Grainge Architects said: "We have really enjoyed working on such an innovative project in a beautiful setting, harmonising the design with the surrounding landscape in keeping within this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty." He adds: "Simon has been a joy to work with as a client and it has been refreshing to work with someone who embraces the importance of attention to detail."
Plymouth firm QSPM Consultants LLP are the Contract Administrator and Quantity Surveyors for this project. Gareth Steventon - Partner said: "As a practice we are very pleased to be associated with this high-profile project. Having worked with the developer Simon Friend for over 10 years, we have grown to know and understand his development raison d'etre of delivering quality with both panache and sensitivity. We are very excited that Newton and Noss will once again regain the delightful and locally iconic former hotel safely to its skyline, lovingly restored and remodelled to provide luxurious homes with some of the most stunning views in Devon."
Simon Friend concluded: "We are taking great care to retain or replicate as many original features as we can, for instance the ornate zinc cornicing and of course the dragons – which should now be good for another 100 years of looking out across this illustrious harbour. I am delighted with the work of the main contractor Devon Contractors and all the consultants have really taken on board the sensitive restoration works to the old hotel as well as being fully at ease with the construction of the demanding designs of the new build elements."
