Built in 1907, the Ross Building was designed by prolific Hattiesburg architect, Robert E. Lee, whose masterful work can be seen elsewhere downtown at City Hall, Oddfellows Building and Historic Hattiesburg High School. The Ross Building gets its name from the original owner, Dr. T. E. Ross, who practiced medicine in Hattiesburg from 1892 - 1935. This building is one of downtown Hattiesburg's most significant structures: its five-story height and prominent location contribute significantly to the downtown skyline.
The America Building has been known by many different names in its 100-year history. Over time, the Ross Building was renamed the Royal St. Andre Hotel and the America Building.
The Hub City sign was erected on the roof of the Ross Building in 1912 to promote Hattiesburg as the central city in Southern Mississippi. The City of Hattiesburg received its nickname (The Hub City) from this sign and is still known as the Hub City to this day.

Known as a worldwide card game, poker is played in many countries. Besides being a popular game in private homes, it is also played at numerous casinos. Some people may even play professionally for thousands of dollars. Poker can also be played socially for pennies. The history of the game is unclear, but it is thought to be a descendant of games such as primero, poque and brelan.
The game of poker is played with a standard 52 card pack. Each player has five cards. When a player has a good hand, he is able to draw more cards to replace the original five. He may also choose to discard some cards. In some cases, players will place bets in several rounds. These bets may be made with plastic chips or ceramic chips. If a player wins, he will be rewarded with a pot.
When a player is unable to make a bet, he may choose to fold. He may also choose to bluff, which is a strategy that involves claiming that he has a good hand when he does not. In some cases, a bettor may use a website called idnplay to place a bet. Once a bet is placed, the bettor will then see his cards. If the bettor has a good hand, he will be able to win. A bettor will then win if he can beat the other players in the hand.
When a bettor is able to make a bet, the bets are placed toward the pot until the round has been completed. The current bet amount is the total amount that the last player placed in the pot. If the bettor is still in the hand, he may continue to play the hand. Some players may also continue to play several rounds of betting, even if he loses.
Some of the earliest versions of the game were played in Germany in the 16th century. In these games, players were able to bluff each other, and the player with the most cards at the end was the winner. The game eventually migrated to the United States, where it was played on riverboats along the Mississippi. In New Orleans, it was referred to as Poque. The name is likely derived from the French word poque.
The ancestry of the game is not clear, but it is thought that it shares some similarities with a game known as primero, a game played in Spain. The game also resembles a Persian game called as nas. During the Civil War, a key rule was added, requiring the player to draw cards to improve his hand. This rule was subsequently incorporated into the game of poker.
Many variations of the game exist, including draw poker, Omaha poker and Texas HoldEm. There are also games known as two-pack games, which require players to make bets using contrasting colors. These games are used to speed up the game.
The popularity of the game has also increased due to the advent of online poker. Many people have migrated to online poker sites, and now the game is played in many countries. The game is a popular spectator sport that is also broadcast on cable and satellite TV channels.

Characterizing urban labor market effects of COVID and speeding recovery through a job search platform
A GLM|LIC Research Project conducted by Center of Economic Research in Pakistan
© istockphoto.com / Ranta-Images
The COVID-19 crisis has triggered unemployment worldwide. In developing countries, the effects are expected to be large (Mubarak and Howell 2020; Saleh and Cash 2020; Dingel and Neiman 2020); however, better data is needed to understand (1) who is most affected; (2) which job losses are expected to be temporary versus permanent, and (3) how to speed the recovery.
To address this, the research project builds on ongoing data from over 1,000 firms and 9,000 jobseekers in Lahore, Pakistan collected as part of a job search service developed by the research team, Job Talash. Both jobseeker and firm enrollment in the service were initially recruited from representative door-to-door samples across the metropolitan area, allowing us to characterize the distribution of effects across firms of varying industries and sizes, and for job seekers across education levels and by gender. The Job Talash system generates extensive high-quality survey and administrative data on both the supply and demand sides of the labor market. To date, the platform has generated administrative data for over 800,000 job –jobseeker pairs, one for each ad sent by the platform to a job seeker who meets the basic qualifications for that job. The project teams complements this with phone surveys of applicants and firms to measure outcomes on the supply and demand side, including off-platform search and hiring. They propose to build on this platform to achieve two key objectives.
Characterizing the distribution and duration of impacts: The researchers propose to build into this panel by adding survey waves to collect additional data from both firms and jobseekers on firm temporary and permanent closure, layoffs, furloughs, unpaid or reduced wages, and anticipated and actual resumption of work and search. With funding support for this project, existing survey teams who have already been trained in this project can be retained and quickly deployed to conduct these surveys over the phone. The project will randomize the order in which respondents are called over the coming months and merge it with previous and future data generated by the Job Talash platform on applications, interviews and employment on the same individuals and firms. This will allow us to characterize the trajectory of shock and recovery. The project will provide estimates of these statistics at different stages of the pandemic by subgroups, in particular by gender, wealth proxies, industry, and firm size.
Testing information on job opportunities to speed recovery: An ongoing randomized experiment increases the flow of information to job seekers on job opportunities via more frequent telephone outreach. The first stage results from this experiment are strong. The proportion of jobseekers whoever apply on the platform increases from 20 to 45%. Data collected to date on interviews also indicate a significant increase in interviews. At baseline, most firms and jobseekers searched primarily through social networks, which may often involve in-person meetings, or asking around at work sites, restricted during lockdown; in contrast, information through the platform is convenient to access even under social distancing. Experience searching over the platform pre COVID, and increased flow of information on job opportunities as hiring restarts, might help job seekers who have lost work, or their family members, find jobs sooner and recover from the economic shock faster.
Gender focus: The Job Talash platform was designed for experiments on female labor force participation (Subramanian 2020, Field and Vyborny 2020); thus, recruitment was designed to represent men and women, while women may be under-represented in other samples in employment studies (e.g. from job placement centers). In addition, our baseline data includes rich data relevant to gender, including unusually rich data on firms' gender composition, facilities for female employees, and revealed willingness to recruit women, as well as the composition of earners in jobseekers' households. This allows us to carefully characterize the distribution of the impacts by gender. The project will collect data on household-level job loss to help understand within-household effects, such as a male earner's job loss increasing future job search by female household members to compensate for lost income. Capacity building: Researchers at the Center for Economic Research in Pakistan are actively involved in the intellectual development of this project. Duke-based researchers have worked to build capacity at CERP and in Pakistan, including delivering technical training for CERP staff and teaching on CERP Evidence-Based Policy Design workshops for policymakers. Duke and CERP researchers have co-authored project outputs (Sajjad et al. 2018, Delcuvellerie et al. 2019), and the project plans to co-author outputs from the proposed project. Policy outreach: An ongoing CERP-wide initiative engages with government agencies on all aspects of the policy response to the pandemic, building on CERP's existing strong relationships with government partners; CERP is an official member of the working group of the Government of Punjab on COVID response. The project will engage with policymakers through these platforms throughout the project.

At once a memoir and a social history of a time, The Occupied Garden by sisters Kristen den Hartog and Tracy Kasaboski is the story of a market gardener and his fiercely devout wife, raising their young family in Holland during the Nazi occupation. Pieced together by the couple's granddaughters, who combed through historical research, family lore, and insights from a neighbour's wartime diary, the book chronicles Cor and Gerrit den Hartog's mounting challenges as heat, food, and light slowly disappeared, and their close-knit neighbourhood changed before their eyes.
A Jewish friend vanished, and German soldiers moved in across the street; trains shunted past Gerrit's garden, loaded with food and supplies and bound for Germany. As Cor and Gerrit's own story unfolds, so too do the many compelling historical events neatly incorporated into the narrative: the near-assassinations of Hitler, the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, the invasion of Poland, the London bombings, Kristallnacht and the Nazi genocides, Queen Wilhelmina's Radio Oranje talks, and the US entrance into the war.
Set against the backdrop of a terrorized nation, the couple's struggle creates a meaningful context for the atrocities of World War Two, while at the same time exploring the bonds and strains that exist among families of any era.

Q: JMockit: verify self method invocations of tested object I have following class which I need to write unit tests to. I need to verify the invocations of own methods of MyClass by itself.
public class MyClass {
    public void init() {
    }

    public void testMethod() {
    }
}

I wrote following test class to test MyClass
public class MyClassTest {
    @Tested
    MyClass myClass;

    @Test
    public void initTest() {
//        new Expectations(myClass) {{
//        }};
        myClass.init();
        new Verifications() {{
            myClass.testMethod();
        }};
    }
}

As it can be seen, init() does not call testMethod(), but for my surprise, above test case succeeds.
If I partially mock myClass by uncommenting the empty Expectations block above, test fails with Missing invocation error, which is expected. So, it seems that I have to partially mock the tested object.
But, partially mocking a test object of a complex class throws various exceptions when testing, which is very hard to debug because breakpoints in Intellij IDEA doesn't work in this situation.
So, what may be going wrong here? Or, is it not supposed to verify the invocations of methods in the tested object itself?

A: JMockit cannot verify method invocations on non-mocked class. In your example as stated, with the commented-out Expectations, the myClass object is not mocked at all, and verifications cannot actually verify that methods on it got called. It's not, strictly speaking, because you are verifying the @Tested object; you'd get the same issue if you created a new List and tried putting one of its methods in the Verifications.

Whiplash injuries are the most common injuries caused by car accidents. While some whiplash injuries are only minor, others can cause long lasting and debilitating issues. For people injured in car accidents, particularly rear-end collisions, it is crucial a medical professional immediately treats whiplash injuries.
Symptoms can appear immediately, or in the days, weeks, or months after a car accident. Symptoms can also vary widely from patient to patient, so it's important to let a doctor diagnose and treat your car accident injuries. Severe whiplash injuries can also damage the joints and discs in the neck and even cause nerve damage. This can cause victims to suffer chronic pain and prolonged periods of disability.
Even speeds as low as 5 to 10 miles per hour could cause whiplash injuries in a vehicle collision. Because the symptoms might not always be immediate, victims could suffer fractures or dislocations in the spine or other serious injuries and unknowingly leave them untreated. This can exaggerate damage to the injured party and is particularly true for the elderly, as risk of serious whiplash injury increases as people age.
While many victims will not suffer long-term effects, they will still struggle with temporary immobility and disability. Victims often have to miss work, which causes them to suffer from lost wages. For serious cases, victims may need to regularly attend physical therapy, which can quickly create a financial burden.
If you sustained a whiplash injury in a Houston car accident, you may be entitled to seek compensation. The experienced Houston whiplash injuries lawyers at Adame Garza LLP can analyze your situation and help you understand your legal options. Call us today for a free consultation.


I have used and known this tool for many years, and I have had it on my traveling CDs since the longest time. As I would not leave without WinZip, I have had the need for a long time to have an easy and effective way to measure visual elements on the screen.
Screen Ruler does this and it does it well. Screen Ruler is an extensible virtual ruler, which you can set to stay on top of all applications. It is possible to set the unit of measurements that it uses, and can be easily flipped horizontally or vertically. It does require a good eye to see exactly how many pixels you are off, but it has made my job a hundred times easier many times more.
Works well for both the novice and the advanced user.
A more advanced release version is available for both Win and Mac users at a very low registration price (USD $ 15).
I have ordered and paid by Paypal through the microfox.com site. I did not get any confirmation of the order from microfox. After emailing them I still have not heard anything and did not receive the product. Their other vendor at skagi.com will not handle it either since it was not a payment through them. So, be very careful with this product! I feel duped for US$ 24.95 that I paid by Paypal.

Q: SQL how do I select a IDs which contains at least a certain condition and occurs more than once? I'm trying to query ID data which satisfy the following conditions:

*

*Must have more than 1 ID occurrence (2 rows appearing or more)

*IDs which have Clinic B appearing at least once.

Data Table:
ID | Clinic
-----------
1  | A
1  | B
2  | A
2  | C
3  | B
3  | C
4  | B

The result should be ID 1 and 3.
I can get 1) with the following:
SELECT ID, COUNT(*)
FROM Data Table
GROUP BY ID
HAVING COUNT(ID)>1

but can't incorporate condition 2) in.

A: You can use conditional aggregation to count number of B appear per ID
SELECT ID, COUNT(*)
FROM  [Data Table]
GROUP BY ID
HAVING COUNT(ID) > 1
AND    SUM (CASE WHEN Clinic = 'B' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)  >= 1

A: I've tried this and got similar answer to @Squirrel
SELECT t1.* from Data Table t1, Data Table t2
WHERE t1.ID = t2.ID AND Clinic = 'B'

Q: Maximal uncountable chains in ${\cal P}(\omega)$ Let ${\cal P}(\omega)$ denote the power-set of $\omega$. We order it by set inclusion $\subseteq$ and say that ${\cal C}\subseteq {\cal P}(\omega)$ is a chain if for all $A, B\in {\cal C}$ we have $A\subseteq B$ or $B \subseteq A$.
Interestingly, chains in ${\cal P}(\omega)$ can have length $2^{\aleph_0}$. Zorn's Lemma implies that every chain is contained in a maximal chain with respect to set inclusion.
Question. What is the cardinality of the collection of maximal chains in ${\cal P}(\omega)$ having uncountable cardinality?

A: Any maximal chain in $\mathcal{P}(\omega)$ is determined by (that is, is the unique maximal chain containing) a countable subchain; this is basically just a restatement of the fact that $\omega_1$ doesn't embed into $\mathcal{P}(\omega)$. This gives an upper bound of $2^{\aleph_0}$ for the number of distinct maximal chains.
On the other hand, it's easy to show that there are at least $2^{\aleph_0}$ distinct size-continuum maximal chains in $\mathcal{P}(\omega)$ - each bijection $\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{Q}$ gives rise to such a chain via Dedekind cuts, and different bijections give rise to incompatible chains in this way - so this bound is sharp.

A: Any linear order $\le$ on $\omega$ will determine a maximal chain, namely, the chain $\mathcal C$ of all initial segments of $\le$.
(Is $\mathcal C$  maximal? If $A\notin \mathcal C$, then $A$ is not an initial segment.  So let $x < y$, $y \in A$, $x\notin A$.
Let $B\in \mathcal C$ be the initial segment of all elements $< y$. As $x \in  B \setminus A$, $y\in A \setminus B$, $A $ and $B$ are not comparable.)
Any maximal chain $\mathcal C$ determines a linear order, namely: $x\le y$ iff
all elements of $\mathcal C$ containing $y$ also contain $x$.
(Easy to see that this is reflexive and transitive. If it is not antisymetric, let $\mathcal C_+$ be the set of all elements of $\mathcal C$ containing $x$ (and $y$), and $\mathcal C_-$ the rest. All element of $C_+$ are above all elements of $C_-$.  Add a new set to the chain by taking the union of all sets in $C_-$ and adding $x$.
Linearity is easy.)
Hence the set of maximal chains is "the same" as the set of linear orders, which is easily seen to have cardinality continuum.
But you wanted uncountable chains. Ok, so use a fixed linear order of the even numbers that gives an uncountable chain, and combine it in continuum many ways with linear orders of the odd numbers, which you put above the even numbers.

joelle jacinto: final night idf program
From Betamax to DVD
photo Phalla San
ONE HAND, BENT SEVERELY AT THE WRIST, PRESSES RIGIDLY AGAINST THE CHEST, WHILE THE OTHER IS LOWERED BUT ALSO ANGULARLY BENT AT EVERY JOINT. TORSOS ARE THRUST FORWARD, AND ALL THE WEIGHT OF EACH BODY IS DRIVEN INTO THE LUNGING FRONT LEG, WITH THE OTHER ALSO BENT AND SLIGHTLY OUTSTRETCHED BEHIND. THE HEAD IS TILTED TO THE SIDE, SEEMING TO LOOK AT THE AUDIENCE SIDEWAYS, AS IF WARILY ASSESSING HOW THEY WILL BE ASSESSED IN TURN. FROM THIS STANCE, THE SIX DANCERS IN JECKO SIOMPO'S FROM BETAMAX TO DVD PERFORM FAST, VERY PRECISE, UNCONVENTIONAL MOVEMENTS, STEPPING IN AND OUT OF COMPLICATED PATTERNS WITHIN INDIVIDUAL FLOOR SPACES, EACH TWISTING A KNEE SIDE TO SIDE AS THE FOOT IS LODGED FIRMLY ON THE GROUND. THEY STOP AS ABRUPTLY AS THEY STARTED, THEN BEGIN AGAIN, EACH SEQUENCE DICTATED, OR EVEN ACTIVATED BY, A VOCAL SIGNAL FROM ONE OF THE DANCERS, A YELP OR BARK OR A SHORT, SHRILL CRY.
Every now and then, one or more of the dancers breaks out of their staggered line with an outburst of emotion, a comment to a fellow dancer, another version of the same fast angularity or a completely different, exaggeratedly sinuous movement. But they all return to the original stance, sometimes of their own volition, sometimes to a reprimanding hiss from dancer and choreographer Jecko Siompo. From Betamax to DVD was premiered in 2009 and shot Siompo to stardom not only as a ground-breaking local choreographer, but also as one of "20 Young People in Indonesia Who Have Made History."
Siompo was the first choreographer featured in the final program of the 10th Indonesian Dance Festival. The bill also included works by Eko Supriyanto and Vincent Sekwati Koko Mantsoe. The trio was a particularly interesting closing line-up: two very different works from major Indonesian choreographers and an invited dancer/choreographer whose work is also vastly different yet exhibits values evident in the preceding pieces. None of these are show-stopping, bravura numbers, which would be the case in a festival in the Philippines, where I'm from, which is why I think this line-up says much about Indonesian culture.
Siompo and Supriyanto's works, although not similar at all, seem to represent what Indonesian contemporary dance is currently all about. While one is a stream of fast-paced, repetitive movement and the other often has barely any movement at all, they both appear to be manifestations of ideals evident in the previous day's showcase of emerging choreographers. Indonesian audiences, I have found, appreciate the slow-moving contemporary pieces that make you think, and they are, I've been told, rather fond of discussing a work's meaning after the curtain goes down. The rousing applause that followed all three final night works suggested this might be the case.
Eko Supriyanto's Home: Ungratifying Life starts with the choreographer crossing the stage with an almost agonizing slowness. Halfway across, he adds a small crouch before the next step, a small lift of an extended leg before the next, a small twist of the body, and so on. All this time, he is enveloped in silence—or rather the annoying clicking of too many audience cameras in a frenzy to capture his every move. But he rest of the piece is "performed" to high-pitched singing and a deafening, incessant whine from the sound score, as different characters approach a wooden frame hanging front and centre—an old, weathered angel, two near-naked men, a man in a pink tutu and a girl walking a dog. They look out from behind the frame as if from a window, peering at the audience as we inescapably stare back. The man in the tutu, revealed to be the source of the relentless singing, pauses only to rudely ask, "What are you looking at?" From a choreographer who has danced for Madonna and appeared in films, Supriyanto is obviously questioning such scrutiny and what all the hoopla is about. What I find compelling is that the audience gets this.
It appears that younger dance practitioners in Indonesia also get what Supriyanto and Siompo are saying and are applying these ideals to their work. The Emerging Choreographers showcase displayed these aspirations. For example, I could see an impulse from the younger choreographers to pepper their works with Javanese poses and gestures, to the same degree that Siompo has drawn from his native Papuan dance forms and reconstructed them to create his own movement. There is also a need to provoke, as Supriyanto does, even if the challenges posted by the younger choreographers are not yet as mature—or as taxing for their audience.
But there are promising ideas, especially from Santi Pratiwi, whose Retorika Kerinduan adequately captures the disquiet of a village whose former inhabitants have all moved to the city for supposedly better opportunities, as well as Joko Sudibyo, whose Cekrek is an engrossing peek into the kind of drama that only goes on inside one's family home. The movements in Retorika Kerinduan cleverly delineate the differences between village and city—getting away from the city is depicted by running around the 'village' at top speed while the 'city' captures the villagers with lethargy. Given more time for development, Retorika Kerinduan could be even more striking. In Cekrek, I particularly liked the sharp contrast between the four young boys, who all moved with fluid vitality, and the crying woman whose few moments of dancing were caricatured for comic effect. Perhaps I would have better appreciated the work if I'd understood what she was saying as blithered away to the audience in a local language. Nevertheless, the images had great strength.
In the case of From Betamax to DVD, which I first saw last year, the festival also provided the opportunity to see a work that has been further developed. I detected an increase in the tension between technology and tradition in the updated soundscape of spliced engine noise (cars, planes, machines) and electronics (network buzz, connecting modems) and the stronger responses of the dancers to the score. Perhaps Siompo was pushing this tension more to the surface, or I was more aware of it on second viewing.
Other changes were less successful, with the dancers showing more personality and given more opportunities to dominate Siompo in his role as the outsider. Last year, he was in control—the performers moving in unison and in staggered groups, but always returning to the line at Siompo's barking command. In this "improved" version it doesn't seem that the dancers appreciate his presence; one girl even breaks formation to shriekingly chastise him. Perhaps the dancers, some of whom are making choreographic ventures themselves, are becoming more confident, finding their own voices—their yelps and screeches here growing louder and more consistent, symbolic evidence that the Indonesian dance scene is expanding and strengthening.


It happened to be dumb luck that I picked this one, but this workout is a perfect combination of strength and cardiovascular conditioning, matching push vs. pull and really testing my endurance.
The idea here is not to pick a workout that's going to leave you sore for days like mine happened to do this time around, but more to track progress year over year as you continue to better yourself physically and mentally. Don't accept the fact that with each year you're just expected to put on weight, slow down, and lose strength. That mindset is an automatic response that provides you with a perfect excuse to not challenge yourself. Don't go down without a fight and get better every year by getting better every day.
So, pick a birthday workout for yourself. It can be anything - 5k run (or for an even tougher challenge: a 5k row!), 100 burpees for time, max pushups in two minutes, or maybe even an obstacle race. Do it this year, record your results somewhere you'll remember, and try your hardest to make sure you beat your previous birthday's time. It's all about setting a goal and experiencing that sense of achievement when you accomplish it! And while you're at it, take off work on your birthday. I sat at my desk this year, like I do every other workday, and regretted not doing something cool and memorable. You only get one day a year that's YOURS. Make it count!
What will your birthday workout be?

Sales soar at the 79-story 99 Hudson luxury condominium building on the Jersey City waterfront.
Written by Jersey Digs
99 Hudson experienced an extremely strong first quarter of 2019, with 34 new luxury condominium sales. With occupancy expected in late 2019, 99 Hudson has captured buyers' imaginations as an iconic 21st-century residential development and as a chance to own a piece of history-in-the-making. The 79-story tower will be New Jersey's tallest building upon completion and the largest residential building in the country outside Manhattan and Chicago.
99 Hudson, entrance rendering.
Designed by Perkins Eastman, 99 Hudson provides residents the luxury of a fully enclosed drive-through entrance, or porte-cochere, and total protection from the elements. The limestone and glass facade marries the most traditional and high-end material found in Manhattan residential buildings with a modern monolithic look. And once crowned by its translucent top, like a lighthouse beacon, the building will announce its towering presence on the Jersey City waterfront.
99 Hudson, porte-cochere rendering.
99 Hudson is an unprecedented colossus, bestowing never-before-seen vistas from the George Washington to the Verrazzano-Narrows. Comprised of 781 luxury condominium residences, a collection of studio, one-, and two-bedroom homes, the building also includes a limited number of palatial penthouse residences, many with private outdoor space.
The view from 99 Hudson, Jersey City.
Spacious open floor plan layouts feature floor-to-ceiling windows, providing great light and air and maximizing the dramatic views of New Jersey, Manhattan, the Hudson River, and the Statue of Liberty. Sophisticated finishes create a high-end aesthetic: Oak hardwood floors; kitchens with Quartz countertops and premium Bosch appliances; baths clad in marbled Italian porcelain tiles; imported Italian cabinetry; and an in-home Bosch washer/dryer. The well-appointed residences are the paramount of luxury and complement 99 Hudson's stunning vantage point.

And no resort-style amenity would be complete without an exclusive residents-only spa, offering a hot tub, wet and dry lounges, steam room, sauna, showers, a spa terrace, and private massage rooms. The building is also grounded by gleaming retail frontage and 7,500 square feet of open space and pedestrian plazas.
Spa rendering.
It's not hard to imagine that second, third, and fourth quarter sales will be equally bright for 99 Hudson with its proximity to Manhattan via PATH train or ferry, the vibrant Downtown Jersey City scene, and the miles of Hudson River waterfront, coupled with the unparalleled luxury for sale that also offers some of the world's most coveted views.
Condominiums range up to 2,500 square feet of living space and are currently priced from $557,000 to over $4,000,000. Initial occupancy is expected for late 2019.
For more information, please visit 99HudsonLiving.com or call 914-491-3263. 99 Hudson's state-of-the-art sales gallery is located at 101 Hudson Street, Suite #3602.

This was such a fun recipe to make, and I felt so accomplished afterwards because it worked on the first try! That's always a good sign, when something you think will be hard (after all, we usually pay for take out when we feel like this), turns out to not only be incredibly easy, but also fool-proof. The only mistake I made was thinking this was the perfect meal to make for my Mom before she went on a trip… to Greece, lol. Don't be intimidated at the thought of making gyros at home. I made it on the rotisserie on the BBQ, but don't worry if you don't have one (or it's the middle of winter and standing in a foot of snow doesn't appeal to you), there's instructions at the end for the oven too.
Here's the recipe for homemade pitas too, which are WAY easier than you think to make. You'll never buy them again!
Because I was nervous making this, I'm assuming some of you might be too. After the recipe I'll include some step by step photos, so you can see just how easy it is. Enjoy!
Place the onion in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Pour it out onto a towel and wring out all of the liquid that you can.
Place the drained onion, along with all the other ingredients, into the food processor. Process until it forms a paste, about 1 minute.
Remove the meat mixture to a long piece of plastic wrap (use two pieces side by side, overlapping slightly). Shape into a log, then wrap as tightly as possible with the plastic wrap, twisting the ends to help tighten. Place in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or overnight, to let all the flavours combine.
Place the chilled meat onto your spit, then onto your rotisserie. Put a foil pan underneath to catch any drippings.
Cook on high for 15 minutes to sear the outside, then reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until the center of the meat reaches 165ºF, about 25 minutes. Turn off the heat, but continue to let spin until the center reaches 175ºF, about another 15 minutes. This spin with the heat off counts as your resting time, so slice the meat now and enjoy.
Pack the meat mixture into a large loaf pan (or two smaller ones, just adjust cooking time as needed). Cover the top with plastic wrap, and place in the fridge for at least two hours, or overnight.
Preheat your oven to 325ºF with a rack in the middle position.
Place the loaf pan onto a folded kitchen towel in a large roasting pan (the towel will stop it from moving in the water bath). Place the roasting pan into the oven, then add boiling water until it reaches half way up the loaf pan.
Bake until the meat reaches 165ºF, about 50 minutes. Pour off any accumulated fat, and let rest an additional 15 minutes, until the temperature reaches 175ºF.
Ok, here are the step by step photos.
Put everything into a food processor (if you don't have one, I would just use beaters).
Give it a whirl until it looks like a paste, about a minute.
Form it into a log on some plastic wrap. If you're baking it, just press it into your loaf pan and cover with plastic wrap.
Wrap it up into a tight log, as tight as you can get it, and put it in the fridge for a couple of hours.
Stick it on your spit, or into your oven, and let it cook.
Let it rest for about 15 minutes so you don't lose any of the juices.
Then just slice it nice and thin.
I love lamb! This looks so delicious! Great step-by-step photos!
Thanks! I used to be a lot better with the step by steps photos... but I found with three kids now it was too time consuming and I wasn't posting much. Now I'm trying to just throw them in on the recipes that might intimidate people. This one is really delicious!!
I just stumbled on this in foodgawker. Since we moved to a very small town in the middle of nowhere USA from an east coast big city I don't have as many options for ethnic food and I miss gyros from our local Greek deli restaurant. I am soooo going to make this now that the how-to mystery has been solved. Thank you so much!
I'm glad you found it!! Just watch the temperature so that it's cooked through, but not over cooked. I hear you about not having close options, there's not much close to us either here, and nothing that would stay warm on the drive home. Enjoy!


MANILA, Philippines – Eat Bulaga host Joey de Leon was called out by people online on Thursday, October 5, regarding his statement on depression.
During the segment of Juan for All , All For Juan, host Jose Manalo asked the sugod-bahay winner Maria Cristina about the condition of her mother. According to her, her mom had depression.
Maria Crstina (sugod bahay winner): Depression po.
Maine Mendoza on the other hand came to the defense, saying that depression is not a laughing matter.
"Hindi biro yang depression. Hindi siya joke. Hindi kasi maraming nakakaranas ng ganun lalo na sa mga kabataan. Kaya pag may nakakaranas ng ganun, kailangan natin bigyan natin ng suporta," she said.
His statements did not sit well with many Twitter users, saying he was very insensitive.
Joey De Leon, there are jokes which are hilarious, funny, okay and below-the-belt. But yours was at the basement.
I'm living proof that depression is real, as I've tried suicide four times. Don't you dare trivialize my struggle, @AngPoetNyo Joey De Leon.
Be a Maine Mendoza in the world full.of Joey De Leon.
In May, the Senate passed on first reading the Mental Health Bill. The bill proposed that the Philippine health system include affordable and accesible mental health services.

Swarovski Z8i 2.3-18×56 P hunting scope
Paul Austin sets his sights on the latest incarnation of a hunting classic
Swarovski z8i 2.3-18x56 P
Leaves absolutely nothing to be desired
At a toe curling £2,590, it's expensive.
Price as reviewed:
TAGS: ScopesSporting Gun
In a break from tradition, I thought I'd start with the conclusion. The Swaro Z8i is without doubt the best lightweight hunting scope I've ever had the pleasure to use.
The overall design is flawless, the 8x mag range is ideal, the glass is alpha all the way with a feature set that leaves absolutely nothing to be desired… and on top of all that it's drop dead gorgeous.
The price for all this perfection is exactly that, the price. At a toe curling £2,590, it's expensive.
The real question isn't what it can or can't do; it can do it all and is probably the best scope in the world in its class. The question is: does all of the above warrant the price tag?
If you want onlookers to say, "Wow!" rather than "What's that?" when you open your case, get yourself a Swaro. Swarovski is acutely aware of its brand equity and what shooters expect from it, which is why this isn't a typical technical review. For this kind of money you would expect a scope to be outstanding, which these are. The only slight disappointment is the 10-year rather than the 30-year warranty that used to be the norm with Swarovski scopes.
Serious foxers
However, they don't just appeal to the 'shooting set'. I know several serious foxers (200-plus per year) who shoot exclusively with Swarovski due to their exceptional clarity, depth of field and low-light/lamping performance. We're talking farmers and farriers, people who hate handing over hard cash unless they have to. Needless to say, the 8x and 56mm objective of this Z8i takes things to a new level – especially in low light.
The superb SLP-O-50 magnetic lens protector, another optional extra to go alongside the BTF turret
Design and performance of the Swarovski 78i 2.3-18×56 P
There's plenty of adjustment on the dioptre and ample eye relief. Above sits the illumination controls with a small rocker switch to toggle between day and night illumination, with plus and minus buttons to adjust the power. All perfectly implemented to guarantee the ideal level for the centre dot.
The new illumination unit is also much more elegant than that of the Z6i series as the battery compartment has migrated beneath the side parallax.
There's also a choice of four reticles, ranging from Christmas tree variants to classic crosshairs.
Another great feature is the automatic shut-off of the illumination. If the rifle tilts beyond 30 degrees horizontally or 70 degrees vertically, it turns off, essentially detecting that the gun is on the back seat or over your shoulder. It then turns itself back on when the rifle is levelled.
The Z8i turret options, classic low profile, a traditional dialler or the user defined custom turret
Moving forward to the turrets, we arrive at a major upgrade over the Z6i scopes. Unlike its predecessor, the Z8i offers interchangeable turrets courtesy of the BTF system (ballistic turret flex). Via a single push-button release you can now swap effortlessly between set-ups. A hunting turret, a standard dialler or a user configurable range selection turret, all featuring 70 clicks of elevation.
In addition to the configuration options, you have zero stop and a rotating collar to lock in your settings. The BTF turret ships with a dedicated ring so you can add a dialling function to windage. It's not what you'd call a true dialler but the combination of options makes it a superbly flexible system.
I particularly liked the user-ranging set-up for quick alterations. Simply set zero, punch your ballistic data into the Swarovski online app and it will spit out dialling data for your preferred ranges. Dial the turret accordingly and drop in the appropriate range markers – '2' for 200m, a 'dot' for 250, a '3' for 300m, etc. It's a simple but ingenious idea that means you're never fumbling with your phone when quick alterations are required.
Parallax adjustment sits alongside with 50m to infinity with a soft click to indicate when you've passing the 100m mark. With the scope wound out to 2.3x parallax goes all the way back to about 6m to 7m, only increasing to 50m as you make your way to 18x.
Image isn't everything
Image quality isn't everything but it's a massive part of any serious scope and the Z8i's glass is stunning. The resolution, clarity and contrast are world class but a less obvious benefit is the immense depth of field this scope generates.
During testing, I zoomed in on some barbed wire in a hedge 300m away. At the edge of the image I spotted a patch of weed in the foreground. After ranging the weird weed it turned out to be 200m way but through the scope it was only fractionally less sharp than the wire I was focused on. The scope also has an astonishing 92% light transmission, delivering superb low-light performance plus a whopping 18.6m FOV.
How to check your scope
As the bullet is the last thing to have contact with the barrel as it leaves and is the first…
How to clean and maintain your rifle scope
Q: With all this rain of late, do you have any tips for cleaning my rifle scope and keeping it…
This is the real strength of the Swarovski. The image is superb, zero chromatic aberration, razor-sharp edge to edge, no tunnelling, astonishing depth of field and incredible low-light performance make the Z8i the ultimate hunting scope. No matter where the prey appears, 99% of the time you're happy to take the shot without any adjustment and that's why they're the optic choice for so many serious shooters.
Without doubt the best lightweight hunting scope I've ever had the pleasure to use

Young Adult Novels on the Big Screen
Author Guest / June 17, 2014
With a summer movie line-up that looks like the shelves of the young adult section in my favorite bookstore, I guess I'm not the only one who thinks YA novels make excellent cinema. By June 11, 2014, the film adaptation of DIVERGENT had earned nearly 268 million worldwide. In one week, THE FAULT IN OUR STARS raked in 79 million. THE GIVER, a film adaptation of Lois Lowry's Newberry Medal-winning young adult novel, comes out in August 15, 2014 and a film adaptation of THE MAZE RUNNER by James Dashner is coming September 19, 2014. Hollywood has taken an interest in the young adult market, and they're looking to what teens are reading to find amazing stories that translate into movie magic. This is by no means a new trend, but it continues to be an advantage for book fans and movie fans alike. Fantastic novels reach a far wider audience once they've been adapted, and teens who might not normally read over summer break might be tempted to give the novels a try. YA novels that are adapted into movies are chosen in large part because of you, the fans. You talk about the books you're reading. You recommend…
Gina Danna | Reality of Historical Romance
As a historian, my historical romance novels have a firm grounding in reality. The settings, the events, the feel can be traced through research and research and research of the period, of the people, of events. In THE WICKED BARGAIN, Ethan's story of being taken by the Barbary Pirates and sold into slavery in the Middle East is based on fact. The Barbary Pirates exist even to this day. These are not the pirates like we love in Pirates of the Caribbean, nor even Black Sails or the latest Crossbones. Pirating for hundreds of years, they strike fear into any ship they come close to. They raid, seize control of the ship, take prisoners and loot only to sell the people into slavery. History also shows they have arrived and landed on Greece, Italy, Sicily, Spain and up to the British Isles. They leech off the close seaside inhabitants, kidnapping them at night to make a profit off them to buyers in the Arabia and elsewhere. The Western European powers and the United States found the way to be left alone is to pay the pirates a bribe to do so, or, in Great Britain's power, a well-armed navy escort…
Nancy W. Sindelar | Researching Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway exuded a brand of masculinity and a philosophy of life that has been a fascination to both men and women. Men admired his adventures in World War I, the Spanish Civil War and World War II along with his legendary hunting and fishing expeditions. Women were charmed by his masculine self-confidence and good-natured story-telling. Marlene Dietrich called him "the most fascinating man I know" and said he "found time to do the things most men only dream about." She was right. He courted life-threatening adventures, glamorous friends while writing articles, novels and short stories that captivated the world. As a former English teacher at Hemingway's alma mater, Oak Park and River Forest High School, I first explored Hemingway's high school years as a means of my engaging students in his novels. My students were quick to view Hemingway as a legendary author who led an action-filled life, but many felt that their own lives paled in comparison to his and that being in school was often "just boring." My students' attitudes inspired me to do some research on Hemingway's life as a high school student. I studied his yearbooks, his high school writing and even met some of…
Lecia Cornwall | The Hidden Secrets Behind ONCE UPON A HIGHLAND AUTUMN
It's release day For ONCE UPON A HIGHLAND AUTUMN! It's a pleasure to be here at Fresh Fiction to share this day with you. I also thought I'd share some of my deep, dark writerly secrets today, and tell you a bit about the story behind ONCE UPON A HIGHLAND AUTUMN. ONCE UPON A HIGHLAND AUTUMN is the second book in the Once Upon A Highland series, which began with Once Upon A Highland Summer. Each book in the series has a different magical theme, an otherworldly, mysterious edge. Highland Summer featured a pair of meddlesome ghosts, who return from the grave to see that their descendants find the love, fortune, and happiness they themselves missed out on. In ONCE UPON A HIGHLAND AUTUMN, it's Megan MacNabb's turn to be caught up by mysterious forces, this time an ancient curse. ONCE UPON A HIGHLAND AUTUMN is actually two stories in one. Megan and Kit's love story is interwoven with the tale of how the dreadful curse that lies upon Glen Dorian came to be, a tragic story of love, loss, and war, that is still awaiting an ending when Kit and Megan's story begins, some seventy years later. Now for one of…


Thank you Jenaca for the nomination, very sweet of you! Everyone should check out her blog over at Jenacidebybibliophile and also her post for the Sunshine Blogger Award here.
Dogs or Cats or Hamsters and why?
DOGS. DOGSDOGSDOGS. Always dogs. I have one and she's adorable, I am not a fan of cats, and I've never had much of an opinion on hamsters.
If you could live in any period and any place in time when and where would it be?
I would choose either right here, right now, or the time of cavemen because it strikes me as a much simpler time.
What is the last book you hated and why?
I don't hate many books, so probably Fifty Shades of Grey because it's essentially abuse disguised as a romantic love story. Also TERRIBLY written.
Favourite author and favourite book (not necessarily by the same author)?
Favourite author is Joanne Harris because she's super talented and her books are really diverse (she's got vampires, Norse mythology, French romance, etc, etc). Favourite book is The Call of the Wild by Jack London. I just love it.
What is something you wish people knew about you?
I wish people knew that I'm actually pretty friendly. And that all employers knew I'd actually be a fantastic employee so HIRE ME.
What is your favourite type of character in a book?
I love a villain, of course, as long as they're either really sassy or super evil (think Hades from Disney's Hercules or President Snow from The Hunger Games). I also love a strong female lead BUT ONLY IF she's not whiny, irritating, or involved in any love triangles.
I love TV so there are a few. To pick just one I'd go with Gossip Girl.
Disneyland. 100%. I've only been to Paris but I imagine the American ones are also fantastic. Otherwise, somewhere with sunshine, things to see and great food (i.e. Italy).
What 3 famous/fictional people, living or dead, would you want at your fantasy dinner party?
To be honest I'd probably pick people like Joey Essex, The Rock and Anna Kendrick because I just think we'd have a hilarious time.
PEOPLE TALKING TO ME WHILE I'M READING. I'm sitting here, minding my own business, reading my book. Please, just leave me alone.
I'm not going to write a new list of questions because I'm feeling lazy so, if you want to do the tag, answer than same questions as me!
Fun answers! And I DEFINITELY agree that dogs are the best!


Editor's Note: The highlights of the Bonhams' Mercedes-Benz auction was contributed by Ralf Glaser with Daimler.
Highlights from the history of Mercedes-Benz Auction are set to come under the hammer at the second Bonhams auction to be held at the Mercedes-Benz Museum on 28 March 2015. With this auction, the museum representing the world's oldest automobile manufacturer has added a very special date to the annual automotive event calendar – scheduled to tie in with the "Retro Classics" show which is to be staged in Stuttgart at the same time. The auction is being held under the banner "The World's Oldest Marque" and is dedicated exclusively to Mercedes-Benz and its predecessor brands. The outstanding vehicles on offer include a Mercedes-Benz 540 K Cabriolet A, a Mercedes-Benz 370 S Mannheim Sport Cabriolet, the AMG Mercedes C-Class racing sports car driven by Juan Manuel Montoya and Jan Magnussen in the 1996 ITC season and a Benz Ideal dating from the year 1900. Bids will also be invited for Alfried Krupp's 300 SL Roadster. Advance viewing of the vehicles will be possible on Friday, 27 March 2015, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and on Saturday, 28 March 2015, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.
Over 40 exclusive vehicles from the history of Mercedes-Benz and its predecessor brands will be up for bidding when the second auction by the renowned English auction house Bonhams is held at the Mercedes-Benz Museum at the end of March. The list of automotive gems on offer spans a fascinating timeline from the early days of automotive history to the recent past. The diverse types of vehicle on offer range from luxurious cabriolets through powerful sports cars and prestigious saloons to legendary racing cars and particularly valuable classic commercial vehicles.
"I'm delighted that the Bonhams auction house is to be our guest at the Mercedes-Benz Museum once again in 2015," says Michael Bock, head of Mercedes-Benz Classic and the Customer Center. "At Mercedes-Benz Classic we seek authenticity in the way we address the history of our brand. And the auction by Bonhams will also focus on this core value. This high-level event represents a further consolidation of the good partnership between Mercedes-Benz Classic and Bonhams which has been established for two decades now." Auctions of classic vehicles were held in the old museum in Untertürkheim from 1996 to 1999. Back then the auction house was operating under its previous name of Brooks.
The auction will take place on Saturday, 28 March 2015, on the Museum's entrance level, beginning at 2 p.m. The number of visitors is restricted. Purchase of an auction catalogue priced at 30 euros entitles two people to attend the event. All the items up for auction will be available for viewing in advance on Friday, 27 March 2015 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on the morning of 28 March 2015 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. The Mercedes-Benz Museum will also be presenting the exclusive vehicles together with Bonhams in the museum's atrium, on the grounds outside the main entrance and in a covered area next to the museum building.
The Bonhams auction will demonstrate how individual stories bring the fascinating history of the Mercedes-Benz brand to life. The Benz Ideal from 1900, for example, boasts a thrilling biography extending from the sale of the vehicle by English Benz dealer Henry Hewetson to the 115 year-old classic vehicle's more recent outings in the "London to Brighton Veteran Car Run".
Equally exalted is the history of the AMG Mercedes C-Class racing sports car which was driven by Juan Manuel Montoya and Jan Magnussen in the 1996 season of the International Touring Car Championship (ITC). The original vehicle is being submitted for auction by the HWA racing team.
The 300 SL Roadster (W 198 II) dating from 1960 with chassis number 198.042-10-002539 was once driven by German industrial magnate Alfried Krupp.
A nice counterpoint is provided in the auction by a historical pedal car produced by Ferbedo in 1950. This is one of the finest examples of how stylishly fashioned toys take up the design idiom of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars.
Bonhams arose from an auction house for art and antiques which was originally established in London in 1793. Today, the international company has 60 departments covering everything from Asian art to wine and whisky. Classic automobiles play a particularly important role in the Bonhams Mercedes-Benz Auction portfolio.

Cybersp@ce
Captivating New Techno-Thriller from author Jeff W. Horton
Cybersp@ce is an intense, captivating, non-stop thrill ride complete with crippling cyber attacks that kill over a hundred thousand people, a former KGB agent bent on the rebirth of the Soviet Empire, and Area 51.
Jeff W. Horton's thrilling saga follows Cyber Command's Nick Reynolds and scientist Kate Summers as they struggle to prevent a massive cyber attack, which they know will trigger a global nuclear war that will devastate the planet.
Nikolai Chervanko is a former KGB officer with a single objective––to create a new, glorious Soviet Empire that far surpasses the original. To achieve his goal, he comes up with a masterful plan; through a series of deadly cyber attacks against the United States, he will create an international standoff between the United States and China. A devastating war between the two nuclear nations will then create a power vacuum that only the Soviet Empire will be able to fill.
After one hundred thousand Americans die in one of the cyber attacks, with evidence pointing towards the Chinese, tensions run high as the two nations stand on the brink of war. Nick Reynolds and Kate Summers race against time to find a means to thwart the next step of Chervanko's plan, a massive, extremely advanced cyber attack against the infrastructure of the United States. They soon discover that in order to save the future, however, they must first look to the past.
Most of Cybersp@ce takes place in Russia, and at the mysterious Area 51, located at Groom Lake in Nevada. Cybersp@ce is a Sci-Fi/Thriller, and is scheduled to be released sometime in January.
Cybersp@ce, is an exciting, action-packed story with plenty of surprises along the way. "I wanted readers to completely immerse themselves in a story they found too compelling to put down," says Horton. "Cybersp@ce will keep readers engaged from beginning to end and then, just when they believe the story has ended, they learn that in reality, it has only begun."
World Castle Publishing is based in Pensacola, FL. Cybersp@ce will be released in January, 2012 and will be available worldwide.
Jeff Horton's other novels includes: The Great Collapse, The Dark Age, The Last Prophet, and The Way of Nacor.
When he's not penning his next novel, he enjoys reading, going to church, and spending time with his family. Jeff Horton is a member of the North Carolina Writers Network.

The Book of Mysteries
Books You Need to Check Out
Check out this book written by one of the indie authors I am currently working with to promote her work.
Enter The Book of Mysteries at your own risk with Tyler Trent and his best friend, Zack Vander. Tyler and Zack live in an apartment house in New York City. Tyler's uncle sends him to a find a disappearing bookstore, an ancient bookseller, and The Book of Mysteries, where exciting and danger-filled adventures await them.
THE WIZARD OF BALALAC
In the strange world of Balara, the two boys, with the help of a Balaran girl, a dragon-slayer giant, and a yellow, polka-dot dog, must un-mask and force a wizard to release a fire-breathing dragon from a deadly spell. The boys must complete the quest before they can they return home, that is, if the disappearing bookstore is still there and they remember the magic words.
THE GARGOYLES OF BLACKTHORNE
In the second novella, Tyler and Zack face marauding gargoyles. Good King Elveron's golden scepter has the power to keep the country of Gothica safe and thriving, but it has been stolen by his evil stepmother, the former queen. She has cast a spell on the gargoyles that sit atop Blackthorne Castle, home of the King's half-brother, Lord Malevil, and the winged-beasts menace the countryside every night. The boys, with the help of twin Goth princesses, Lily and Ivy and their cousin, Sir Valor, must retrieve the scepter and free Gothica from the terror of the Gargoyles. Only then can they return to their own world through the bookstore that may have disappeared.
THE CENTAURS OF SPYR
This could be the last adventure Tyler and Zack undertake, for they may not be able to return home. They emerge in a world populated by the hairless people of Haven, trees that can speak and move, and colonies of mythical beasts that live in the surrounding plains and mountains. There is imminent war between Griffons and Hippogriffs and Haven lies between. Even guarded by a massive forest of trees, the destruction of Haven appears to be a real possibility, unless Tyler and Zack and their Haven friends, Kai and Cassa, can find a stolen crystal, prized by the Centaurs in the mountains of Spyr and convince them to help stop the war. The Centaurs live in isolation and want nothing to do with the other inhabitants of the country. Tyler and Zack face the most dangerous quest of all, and this could be their final journey into The Book of Mysteries.

Der Heimkenberg ist ein  hoher Berg im Landkreis Göttingen in Niedersachsen, (Deutschland).

Der Heimkenberg befindet sich am nördlichen Rand des Eichsfeldes zwischen den Orten Gieboldehausen im Süden und Hattorf am Harz im Norden, etwa 10 Kilometer südlich von Osterode am Harz im westlichen Teil des Rotenberges.

Der überwiegend bewaldete Berg ist Teil der Buntsandsteinschichtstufe und fällt steil nach Norden zum Odertal ab und flach nach Süden zum Rhumetal. Der Talgrund (im Urstromtal der Oder) nördlich des Heimkenberges ist der Klusanger. Südliche Ausläufer des Berges sind der Thiershäuser Berg (216 m) und der Hopfenberg (210 m), wo es einen Kopf-Hainbuchenwald als besondere Form des Niederwaldes gibt.

Compiled by John Brush - notes on the history of the bands of Cornwall from the earliest days to the end of the Second World War.
If you have any comments on this page, or further information you would like to submit, please email gavin@ibew.co.uk.
Militia units have been operational in Cornwall for some considerable time, but in 1852, due to the ever present threat from France, they were reorganised. Then in 1859 the then Secretary of State for War issued instructions for the formation of volunteer units, and in the case of Cornwall this order resulted in infantry and artillery companies.
All of the major towns now had an infantry unit, except Truro who had two! Initially they were all numbered, that that changed in 1880 to a letter designation. Later, the overall administration became the responsibility of the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry. To the public the only change that was noticed was in the titles. Everything west of Truro became the 1st Battalion, and to the east, the 2nd Battalion (Truro itself was 1st Battalion). Also was added the words 'Volunteer Battalion.' The final change came about in 1908 when they were all designated 'Territorial Force', 1st Battalion became the 4th and the 2nd Battalion became the 5th. It could also be argued that the real final change came about in 1914.
Regarding the titles of the artillery units, this is far from straightforward. There does not appear to be an overall cohesive plan here. There must have been, of course, but if so, it is really difficult to understand. On top of this problem, today's Royal Artillery does not seem to have any real records of these units, so one is left with inaccurate newspaper reports.
There were a few other units, mainly Royal Engineers who in the main carried out the duties of laying mines in the waters around Cornwall and were hence labelled Submarine Miners. These duties were, in time, handed over to the Royal Navy, leaving Cornwall with only one RE unit.
Added to this list there was also the Territorial Army between the wars, and the Home Guard during WW2, but more of these later.
So what has this to do with bands? Simple. Every unit I mention had a band!
Not a lot is known about this band except that in 1873 their bandmaster was a Thomas Jago. That they existed is undoubted, as there are a number of engagements that have been noted.
This band was certainly taking on engagements in 1840 but could not, obviously, be a brass band as we know one today (or even in 1850). They were a highly successful band that remained, throughout their life, in continuous operation. Some of their know Bandmasters are Mt McAllister (1853-64), Mr Horan (1864-67, Mr Mounter (1867-74), Robert Elford (1874-86) and, by now under the new title of 3rd Battalion, Mr Boorman (1905). In the 1860's they must have been outstanding, having amongst their players Robert Elford (cornet) who became their Bandmaster and changed the instrumentation to brass band, Philip Elford who joined the Royal Marines and became principal cornet of their Plymouth Band, as did William Ough. George Jago, a trombonist, took up a position with a London theatre orchestra and stayed there for many years. Then there was also William Jago who went on to become a much respected conductor of the St Austell Duke of Cornwall's Rifles band. Despite all this success, there is no record of them attending any contests.
The parent unit was formed in 1861 but it took quite a while for a band to be formed, probably sometime between 1872 and 1875. From 1898 to 1905 they were led by a J Hancock, a local tailor, who, according to the newspapers of the time, did appear to improve them but from what to what there is no way of telling as they carried out no contesting, at least in Cornwall.
There was a town band in existence when this volunteer unit was formed, yet at the enrolment parade if 1859 another village band was engaged and immediately afterwards this new volunteer company had a band, so it is a reasonable assumption that the Callington Town Band were among the potential recruits, sans instruments. Up to 1886 everything is musically clear in the town as the volunteer band was the only band present, carrying out things like cruises around the coast, Regattas, Sunday school tea treats and the like, when suddenly there appears a town band. Callington in those days could never have supported two bands and the impression gained is that it was one group of men wearing two uniforms, but each band having its own conductors. This happy (?) state of affairs carried on until 1905, after which no more mention can be discovered of the Volunteers Band. Whist wearing army uniform, no contests were undertaken, and the only recorded conductor was a certain R Rich.
Formed on 17th October 1859, this unit had an immediate, fully functional, band. There had been a band of some description in Camborne at this time, so it would seem that the brass players of that band enlisted. The known conductors were E Dunn, later William Trudgeon, followed by William Uren, than a Mr Andrewartha, and finally Gabriel Pascoe. Whilst under the bandmastership of William Uren in 1896, the whole band, including the conductor, were dismissed the service for disobeying orders issued by the Commanding Officer for the second time. This group immediately formed the Camborne Town Band, and yet the volunteers appear to have experienced no difficulty in forming a replacement band. Between 1863 and 1902 the volunteer band entered at least 14 contests.
The unit was formed in 1860 and by July 1861 had a viable brass band. We have only one name recorded as conductor - a certain John Males who certainly did have a musical degree of some sort and managed to lead an eventful life for a few years at least. 1904-05 he conducted Redruth Duke of Cornwall's Rifles Band and took on, at the same time the Royal Engineers Submarine Miners Band at Falmouth, then almost immediately moved house to East Cornwall (still in 1905) and took over the St Blazey Artillery Band, packed that in and moved to this Camelford Duke of Cornwall's Rifles Band where he managed to stay put until 1908-09 and thence on to Wadebridge Duke of Cornwall's Rifles. It is most fortunate that there was no cavalry band in the county!
The unit was formed in 1860 as part of the artillery defences that was meant to cover the English Channel and in particular, St Austell Bay. They had a band of sufficient numbers and expertise to play at the Charlestown Regatta in 1863. They became a popular band and much in demand. Known conductors are William Tamidyn (1886), FJ Brooks (1889), Samuel Rowe (1891-97 and WJ Tethered (1903-06). Contests were attended, the best result being a first at Newquay in 1886.
The first newspaper report of a Constantine Duke of Cornwall's Rifles Band was in 1889, but since that date they do seem to have been kept busy, especially with Sunday school treats. The Bandmaster in 1889 was a Mr Waters, and then during 1902-14 Charles Reynolds had the baton. This man, in 1913, also took on board the civilian Gweek Band. Constantine Duke of Cornwall's Rifles Band did not contest. It is noted that, strangely, this band carried on with UK engagements as late as 1915. Perhaps their unit was now a training establishment during WW1.
The company was formed in 1859 and by 1862 their band was described as 'excellent', and within a year they began contesting. They were a very popular band carrying out not only the usual run of 19th century engagements but also an unusual amount of open-air concerts. Conductors - HC Shaw (1863), C Fenning (1973), GH Hallett (1881-88), J McKenzie (1900-02) and Philip Millington (1902-03).
The town of Falmouth seem to have been able to keep two service bands fully occupied from their inception to demise. This artillery band was in operation before 1854. They could take on any type of civilian engagements on top of their military duties, so much so that one does wonder, because they were part-timers, where they found the time. In 1854 they were led by Mr Allen, in 1886 by TG Kelway, then in 1887 by Mr Teague. 1895-1900 was WJ Ogden, 1900_03 J Hosking and finally in 1916 Mr Dowrick. It would appear, by this last mentioned Bandmaster, that this unit may well have become a training establishment for WW1 gunners, as there is no doubt that the band continued just as busily as in peace time.
The unit was formed in 1889, but almost nothing is known about the band. John Males (conductor) is the only information that can be found, and even this is for 1905 only (see also Camelford Duke of Cornwall's Rifles). This unit, and its band, could not have lasted very long as its mine laying duties were handed over to the Royal Navy.
This band had a very on/off existence. First functioning in 1861, it disappeared in the 1860's, reappeared about 1888, disappeared again in 1903 and was reorganised 1908-09. They continued into WW1, and there is a photo of 1916 showing a Brass & Reed combination, overburdened with senior NCO's indicating that it is now a more makeshift band of a training establishment. Even so, it is a well balanced instrumentation. Known conductors were in 1902-06 S Sweet and in 1909-10 was FG Isbell.
Another unit formed for National Defence in 1860 and their band did not appear to be overly busy up to WW1. In 1889, the local reporter, for some reason, did not like the band. He wanted to know why, on a church parade, the band did not go into church and instead �dropped off and strolled around in variously directions.� On another occasion comparing them with another local band, he �wished our band here would work and play in harmony, and not so often fall out.� (both quotations from the St Austell Star on 1889). Known conductors were James Vivian in 1869 and W Hawkes in 1892.
Not overly active, the Hayle Duke of Cornwall's Rifles Band, during its lifetime, ranged from 7 to 18 players, and the only known conductor was a Mr Retallack in 1903. They did attend at least two contests, not achieving very much at all. Amos Blight conducted them on the 1893 contest, but whether he was their resident conductor or brought in for the event is not known, but he was certainly also involved with the Helston Duke of Cornwall's Rifles Band..
This band was operating in 1863 and from then on up to WW1 they were very busy indeed (is this why their Duke of Cornwall's Rifles friends were not so busy?), and were travelling all over Cornwall. In 1864 S Stevens was Bandmaster. 1891-1902 and M.A.C. Trebilcock waved the baton. There were two known contests entered for, the results of both would not have pleased the members very much.
During WW1 there seems to have been many army units set up, most being training establishments, but there were �Defence Units�, which, one supposes, the title explains their role. Of the few that were in existence, only this one had a band and even for this only one reference can be found referring to an appearance in 1916 in Constantine, under the baton of Harry Robins.
There is on record an army volunteer band of some description in Helston as early as 1852. It must have been more than a bugle band because it was engaged to play at the opening of the West Cornwall Railway at Penzance Station. Whoever these people were, they were more than likely involved in the formation of this new 7 Company Duke of Cornwall's Rifles, as this unit had a functional band at their disposal on their very first unit inspection in 1860. Like most of the volunteer bands, the Helston group were kept very busy with many civilian engagements on top of their military commitments. Their first known conductor was a J Cope in 1863. 1888-94 and Amos Blight was leading them. He was back in harness again during the 1914-18 war when he took charge of the Hayle Military Band. The last known conductor was WA Harris (1901-1909) who can be found later, in 1927, conducting the Helston Town Band. The strength of the Duke of Cornwall's Rifles Band ranged from 10 to 14 players, and they are known to have taken part in at least 7 contests.
There was a popular and highly motivated band in Launceston before the volunteers set up shop, but strangely, once 6 Company Duke of Cornwall's Rifles were operational (which was immediately!) from then on up to WW1 the dates of engagements for 6 Company Duke of Cornwall's Rifles and the Town Band never coincided! Each band did appear to have their own conductors. The Volunteer Band was quite strong (averaging 18 players) for those days. The first Bandmaster was Gordon Higgs. In 1866 he was followed by G Clifford who stayed until 1891. 1905 was a Mr Wicks in charge. No contests were entered for in Cornwall.
Another Volunteer Band that, whilst not overly busy, quietly got on with their musical life. 1887 to 1903 seems to have been their most popular period. For this time the conductor was John Phillips. He was succeeded by James Mitchell, and finally RJ Honey took them from 1912 to 1914. They were down to 12 players in 1912 and one must wonder if this poor turn-out had anything to do with the fact that the Town Band started contesting and that the conductor of both bands was our already mentioned Mr Honey. It is also probable that the company's Commanding Officer would not allow them to compete, a not unusual attitude.
There was an artillery band in 1864 when the corps was being inspected on their gunnery expertise. The band carried on without a lot to do until, in 1912, the 'Cornish Times' regretted that a recent church parade was carried out without a band. The reporter's inference was that Looe no longer had neither volunteer nor town band.
Lostwithiel Duke of Cornwall's Rifles Band was a sub-unit (or detachment) of the Bodmin company. They seemed to have many administrative problems. The local press appeared to have little idea of who they were reporting on, giving the band many different titles, possibly because of the reported disreputable appearance of the band. The name of Nathaniel Prideaux is mentioned in 1885 as the bandmaster, but again because of inept reporters, even that can not be taken as an absolute. The local council tried to help financially and also tried to poach the players to form Lostwithiel Borough Band! A �band� of sorts continued until 1914, but they must have been a sad lot.
The unit was formed as a result of the Government order of 1859. As early as 1860, the Marazion Artillery Volunteer Band marched through Marazion (�to excellent music�) in their new uniforms. Their musical life was not much different to others of the same period - processions (Sunday school, Temperance Societies, etc.,) Regattas, concerts and army training camps. In 1892 the Bandmaster was one RJ Williams who was uncle to EJ Williams, a very active band trainer in the first half of the 20th century, who in turn was the father of EJ Williams (yes, same initials) - playing for Camborne Town, Brighouse & Rastrick and finishing up as conductor to St Dennis Band. There was an unsuccessful attempt at contesting in 1877.
Here was a strange set-up. The first recorded engagement of the Newquay K Company Band was in 1904. This carried on from then, with good reviews, until 1908 when they must have been running short of equipment and men. For a short while they received assistance from town band players, but in 1909, probably because of an impending Royal Visit, all town band personnel enlisted, no doubt thinking 'nice uniform', 'nice rehearsal facilities', 'on the whole much better than things were'. Unfortunately in 1909 they did not see 1914 just around the corner. 1902 to 1908 was conducted by Tom Nankervis, and from 1908 to 1914 was W Morgan. Like most volunteer bands, contests were not a high priority to them.
Another unit formed in 1859, the band made its debut appearance on 18 July 1860, and it consisted of �ten Sax instruments and a drum.� The strength of the band varied between 9 players in 1891 to 18 players in 1907. Mr Franklin was the first Bandmaster, he being relieved in 1862 by Mr Courtney. 1870 finds Joseph Tonkin in charge. A Mr Pascoe ran things in 1888, and finally, from 1902, Edgar Tonkin was conductor.
The Par Artillery Band never travelled far from its base, and whilst it was most popular in Tywardreath and St Blazey, it was a band that kept itself busy. 1905 saw Mr Owl as conductor and in 1906 it was S Vile.
This unit was an offshoot of the St Just company. They had a band for at least four years and it was led by Thomas Andrewartha. It is certain that this band became the Pendeen Silver Band. The date that this occurred is not known for certain, but it was definitely out of army hands by 1903.
The band's strength between 1868 and 1881 fluctuated between 10 and 14 players. It was fully functional by 1869 with the recorded Bandmasters of 1888-89 J Greenslade, 1896-99 GH Hallett (who had previously conducted Falmouth Duke of Cornwall's Rifles Band), and 1900 to 1903 a W Beard. The band is on record as having attended two contests, achieving a 2nd and a 3rd placing.
Less than twelve months after the formation of the Volunteers, a full parade inspection was held for all 1st Battalion units, at which the Penzance Duke of Cornwall's Rifles Band provided the music. It is most likely that this instant band was recruited from the Penzance Sax Horn Band who was in operation right up to 1860. Nothing can be found of any engagements for the Volunteer Band after 1890, perhaps because there had always been an �Independent� town band. The names of three volunteer Bandmasters are known - F May (1860's), Mr Wigg (1880's) and a Mr Wolf (1888). Three Cornish contests were attended, achieving a 1st at Penzance and a 2nd at Truro.
Like Falmouth, Penzance had an Artillery unit in situ before the government re-organisation of 1859. Their band was certainly active in 1858. In 1883 their conductor was a Mr Olver, and then in 1888 William Nankervis ran the show. During this period the band strength averaged 19 players. Unlike their Duke of Cornwall's Rifles counterparts, they did no contesting.
The Perranporth Volunteer Band was formed later than most other volunteer bands, but was in action from 1885 up to WW1. The only name that can be found as Bandmaster is a Harry Robins, a much respected local musician who later went on to conduct St Agnes Town Band. He had control of this volunteer band from 1903 to 1911. The band did not seem to be rushed off their feet with work but they did attend a contest in 1904 in Chacewater where they were placed third.
There was a brass band belonging to a service unit in 1857, but this Duke of Cornwall's Rifles unit was formed in 1860 and very quickly had a viable band, recorded as accepting civilian engagements as early as 1862. They soon became a very successful outfit, finding themselves leading a busy life right up to WW1. There was a temporary hiccup late 1881 when, for reasons not too plain to see, they disbanded, reforming early 1882. The first conductor was W Sims, and in 1881, when the little pause took place, they were in the hands of William Gribble. How long he had been with the band is not exactly known but upon the band's reconstruction in 1882 he was thanked �for his valuable services for many years past in connection with the band��� Robert H Heath took over the new band. He was a much respected musician and stayed with the band until 1894 when he immigrated to South Africa. R Wills took over until 1900 when he was relieved by James Williams. John Males had a turn in 1904 and James Williams came back in 1909. Despite the undoubted success of this band, they do appear to have entered very few contests.
It is not known if this unit had a band in their early (1860's) days, but there was certainly one helping with the celebrations of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1888. Readers may have noticed that all information discovered in these pages refer to Cornwall only. Saltash, being situated on the River Tamar, the band must have carried out a lot of their functions on the Devon side of the River. They carried on until 1914 and for the last five or six years were conducted E.O. Gregory, who also took them to two Cornish contests, St Austell in 1909 and Liskeard in 1914 where they gained a 1st in the second section.
In 1859 there was a brass band in St Austell which will have helped considerably, when the volunteers were formed in 1860, in achieving an immediate and competent band. From 1879 to 1914 they had only two Bandmasters - William Jago and RJ Bennetts, both of whom encouraged their men to enter at least twelve contests, this despite opposition from the civilian bands against volunteers taking part. St Austell was one of the very few Cornish volunteer bands who engaged professional conductors for some of their contest appearances. In 1919, this group of men were, in the main, the new St Austell Town Band.
St Austell Bay must have been considered most important to the military planners of the mid 19th century as it had no less than thee artillery units (Charlestown, Par and St Blazey) defending its waters. Added to these was the Submarine Miners unit at Fowey. Formidable defences indeed. Can the same be said about their bands? St Blazey Artillery Band came into existence in 1860 under a Mr Pascoe. John Males, in his wanderings around the county, took them in 1905. No contests were participated in, and all engagements were at a comfortable distance from home.
Very little happened with this band. Only one engagement could be discovered, and that in the village of St Buryan, under a Bandmaster Prowse, in 1888.
The ladies of the town (no, not those kind of ladies!) decided that their new Duke of Cornwall's Rifles Volunteers should have a band, so they embarked on money making activities. Amongst other things, they organised a fete in 1860 at which �Capt. Vyvyan, of her Majesty's Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms, contributed a splendid cornet-a-piston, inscribed 'Presented to the St Columb 16th Cornwall Volunteer Rifle Corps on the formation of the band, by R.H.S. Vyvyan, Esq., of Trewan, August 1860'.� I wonder what became of it? One of the first engagements was the St Columb Rifle Corps Fete in 1861. They were soon caught up in the hurly burly of band life - tea treats, fetes, concerts, dances and processions, on top of their army musical duties. Their first conductor was, from 1881, a Mr Webber. From 1897 to 1910, the Bandmaster was B Colliver. They are known to have attended at least one contest.
The 11 Corps Band, in 1852, was engaged to play at the opening of the West Cornwall Railway at Penzance Station. 13 Corps was the new title adopted under the reorganisation in 1859 and they had their band by 1862. The complete unit was disbanded in 1878 then reconstructed in 1900 under the new title 5 Company. At this point, St Ives Town Band enlisted en bloc, whilst continuing with their town band activities, which, as the next few years passed grew less and less, until 1909 when the town acquired a new town band of their own. From then on the artillery band stuck to its own side of the fence. Known conductors were Gordon Steer who served from 1900 to 1909, he being superseded by A Spray. No records can be found of contesting.
This artillery unit was in operation long before the 1859 reorganisation, and their band was involved with the St Ives, Truro and Helston Volunteer Bands at the opening of the West Cornwall Railway in 1852. They kept up with their busy life until 1911 when, remarkably, there are no more records of them, but coincidently (?) up pops two town bands, St Just Boys Band and St Just Old Town Band. The artillery conductors were, in 1888, T Williams, and 1904 to 1909, James Williams. Their contesting history seems limited to two appearances, both with disheartening results.
This volunteer band was in public operation as early as July 1861 and were kept musically busy up to about 1905, when no more is heard of it. In 1863 the Bandmaster was HC Smith, then 1891-1903 it was N Andrews (this man, in 1871, was the best shot in the St Just Company). Contests were carried out between 1863 and 1881; the best result being a 2nd place.
This was a detachment of the St Austell Company, hence the same title, but it did, for a while, have its own independent band. It was another of these unit bands that carried on in the dual role of volunteer and town band. We know that the band was functioning in 1900, and we also know that WH Jenkin conducted them from 1903 to 1912, but that really is the extent of out knowledge about this group.
This band had GT White as their conductor who took them to at least two contests, their first, in Redruth, netted the 1st prize in a one section only contest.
12 Company's Bandmaster, for most of the time, was R Pascoe, who entered the band in two local contests, the results of which were not as good as 11 Company.
1876 is the official date of this amalgamation and from that moment on they were a force to be reckoned with, considered by most to be, for a long time, the leading band in Cornwall. It is mainly because of this band that the civilian entrants complained about this superior competition and managed to persuade most promoters to ban volunteer bands. Well, I suppose that is one way of dealing with the opposition! Conductors were Samuel Traise (1876-1902), W Mollard (1904) and Harry Phillips from 1909.
The first engagement found for this band was taking part in what today would be called a military tattoo, the main difference being that there was no band marching display, massed or otherwise. Just house-band duties. The band, in 1904, was under R Rogers, and as a musical unit continued until 1914. It has been noted that all of these Truro bands were well served with the amount of concerts they were asked to undertake at the many and various venues in the city.
This Company was serving Cornwall between the wars and the only reason that it is known there was a band is that in 1922, Territorial Orders were published in the West Briton, in which it is stated that band practices were on Mondays and Fridays. The local press did seem to ignore this band - if it ever did anything.
Wadebridge Duke of Cornwall's Rifles Band made its first appearance in 1900 under their first Bandmaster, Robert Elford, who stayed with them until relieved by John Males. The band was not a contesting group but did continue to give good service up to WW1.

Q: Cannot find module '@angular/forms' I'm developing an Ionic 2/Angular app and I'm trying to use form validation following this tutorial:
https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/cookbook/dynamic-form.html
But the compiler says:

Cannot find module '@angular/forms'.

Why is this modules not available? Is it deprecated?

A: The way to solve problem is: use cmd
npm install @angular/forms --save
and go to package.json double check make sure @angular/forms: "YOUR VERSION", => save it
reset the IDE tool and go back to app.module.ts remove and retype again. it much be work.
Thank You

A: Try npm install @angular/forms --save
It will warn you that you should be using 2.0.0-rc.4 though.  This may come with it's own set of upgrade challenges...

A: I ran into the same problem, my solution was:
1) add forms to the package.json:
"dependencies": {
...
"@angular/forms":   "0.2.0",
...
}

2) install using npm in the console, type within the app folder
npm install

3) run app again
npm start

Hope this helps

I belive it can be due to file in use errors sometimes (I'm running Visual Studio on Windows as administrator).
Make sure nothing is running that might have a file lock on any packages - such as angular CLI. So close any windows or processes and run something like npm install again.

A: Is import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms'; is injected in app.module.ts and added FormsModule array in the imports as below
    app.module.ts
    import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
    import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
    import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

    imports: [
      BrowserModule,
      FormsModule
    ]

A: I had a weird situation where I can not do npm install, and had to copy the libs from shared path. Copy the "forms" folder under node_modules/@angaular solved the issue.


The world's largest range of Halloween Contact Lenses just got even bigger with the introduction of our new Momo Contact Lenses. Anticipated to be one of 2019's hottest Halloween makeups, Momo is a viral urban legend that's caused panic across the globe, sending government and law enforcement agencies into panic and causing social media outlets to brand it 'fake news' and issue emergency statements of denial.
Symbolised by a female figure with grotesque features and large protruding eyes, Momo is said to have infiltrated online games and social media sites, enticing adolescents to commit extreme violence or even suicide with threats of severe violence against anyone who fails to comply.
Especially designed to replicate the large protruding eyes of Momo, our new Momo Contacts feature a pure white background and large central black pupil. Ideal for adding the killer final detail to your Momo Halloween costume or for use in extreme SFX or fancy dress costumes, they are printed using highly pigmented FDA approved dye and have a lifespan of up to 12 months.
