While the possibility of an attack based on cache-bank conflicts has long been speculated, this is the first practical demonstration of such an attack. Cache-bank conflicts have been documented since at least 1996. (See, for example, Agner Fog's How to Optimize for the Pentium Processor.) However, these were not widely thought to be exploitable, and as a consequence common cryptographic software developers have not implemented countermeasures to this attack.

Once children reached the age of reason, at about 12, they would be engaged as free individuals in the ongoing process of their own. Bloom, a professor of political science at the University of Chicago, argued for a traditional Great Books-based liberal education in his lengthy essay The Closing of the American Mind. Freire also suggests that a deep reciprocity be inserted into our notions of teacher and student; he comes close to suggesting that the teacher-student dichotomy be completely abolished, instead promoting the roles of the participants in the classroom as the teacher-student (a teacher who learns) and the student-teacher (a learner who teaches).

Play Based Philosophy — Playing to Learn/Learning to Play High quality early childhood programs teach children to think creatively so they may succeed in a complex and ever-changing world. (L. Gandini Trans.) Kilpatrick believed that children should direct their own learning according to their interests and should be allowed to explore their environment, experiencing their learning through the natural senses. Rousseau also had a different theory of human development; where Plato held that people are born with skills appropriate to different castes (though he did not regard these skills as being inherited), Rousseau held that there was one developmental process common to all humans. Therefore, one should teach principles, not facts. Noddings' first sole-authored book Caring: A Feminine Approach to Ethics and Moral Education (1984) followed close on the 1982 publication of Carol Gilligan's ground-breaking work in the ethics of care In a Different Voice. It is my role as an educator to assume responsibility for each child's personal and educational development whilst they are in my care. According toErnst von Glasersfeld, Jean Piaget is "the great pioneer of the constructivist theory of knowing. OVPES is a professional association of philosophers of education.

In this lesson, we will discuss the general history of early childhood education. The Humanities Research Network is designed to encourage new ways of thinking about the overlapping domains of knowledge which are represented by the arts, humanities, social sciences, other related fields like law, and matauranga Māori, and new relationships among their practitioners. The program is planned to provide varied opportunities for exploration all materials and resources in the environment in light of individual interests. His theory of cognitive development and epistemological view are together called "genetic epistemology". Rousseau advocated an educational method which consisted of removing the child from society—for example, to a country home—and alternately conditioning him through changes to his environment and setting traps and puzzles for him to solve or overcome. Piaget created the International Centre for Genetic Epistemology in Geneva in 1955 and directed it until 1980. International Society for Philosophy of Music Education, the International Society for the Philosophy of Music Education (ISPME) is founded on both educational and professional objectives: "devoted to the specific interests of philosophy of music education in elementary through secondary schools, colleges and universities, in private studios, places of worship, and all the other places and ways in which music is taught and learned.". Remember, a school cannot exist without espousing these major foundations. At the turn of the 20th century, Maria Montessori traveled the US in to tout her teaching techniques (Morgan, 1999). Instead of being taught in philosophy departments, philosophy of education is usually housed in departments or colleges of education, similar to how philosophy of law is generally taught in law schools. Back then, very few people knew how to read and many were illiterate. Buy it now. He advocated removing children from their mothers' care and raising them aswards of the state, with great care being taken to differentiate children suitable to the various castes, the highest receiving the most education, so that they could act as guardians of the city and care for the less able.

Plato believed that talent was distributed non-genetically and thus must be found in children born in any social class. Aristotle placed great emphasis on balancing the theoretical and practical aspects of subjects taught. In addition to educating reason, of central importance to him was the development of character and teaching of moral maxims. Rousseau, though he paid his respects to Plato's philosophy, rejected it as impractical due to the decayed state of society. He was a major figure in the progressive education movement of the early 20th century. He wrote that children can learn better if taught in classes instead of individualtuition from private tutors, and he gave a number of reasons for why this is the case, citing the value of competition and emulation among pupils as well as the usefulness of group discussions and debates.

According to its own budget guidelines, San Jose is supposed to recover costs for regulating new construction. But an internal audit found that the city often fails to track fees and waivers for high-rise development.
The City Council will discuss the findings when it meets Tuesday.
One fee that planners failed to account for is the cost-recovery charge for voluntary preliminary review meetings, in which developers meet with senior city staff to talk about project concepts. For at least one of the major projects auditors reviewed, however, there was no record of a pre-application meeting taking place and no evidence that any fees were assessed, paid or waived.
When San Jose Inside asked earlier this month for a list of pre-application meetings and fees charged, the city affirmed that no such records exist.
Additionally, the city failed to properly account for parkland fees on residential high-rises. Among several other incentives, San Jose gives qualifying developers a 50 percent discount on park fees and allows payment deferrals until 80 percent of inspections have been scheduled. However, the city has no reliable method for checking whether a project meets that threshold, auditors found.
Park fees were paid in full on two projects reviewed by auditors—$2.4 million for One South Market and $2.7 million for Centerra. But planning inspectors were unable to tell from their permitting software whether the fees were paid before performing final inspections. They have to either check with other city departments or override controls in the software to log inspection records.
With no consistent way to determine whether a developer has reached the 80 percent inspections benchmark, the city's planning staff relied on informal monitoring.
Erickson also suggested that the city adopt higher standards of review to safeguard against risk as taller buildings are constructed. A lack of rigorous review has apparently led the city to compromise on safety standards.
During an inspection of One South Market's window-walls, the city found that it didn't meet the higher energy rating the developer specified in original plans. But because the walls were already bought and installed, the city allowed the developer to offset the lower ratings by improving other energy saving measures.
The state defines a high rise as a building with floors at least 75 feet above its street-level entrance. San Jose has relatively few high rises for a major city, according to the report. Even its tallest building—the 22-story apartment complex at 88 E. San Fernando St.—is comparatively small to its counterparts in other cities.
But the city actively promotes high-rise development by offering tax breaks and expedited permitting. In addition to the park fee waivers, other incentives offered by the city include half-off discounts from construction tax, commercial-residential tax and waived parking requirements.
The city's campaign seems to have paid off. Some 20 high-rises are either under construction or in the planning process.
The city will consider expanding its inclusionary housing fee, which subsidizes construction of below-market-rate units, to encompass for-sale developments of three to 19 units.
The One South Market apartment tower has some very peeved tenants, who have reportedly dealt with numerous breakdowns and infestations.
That is the ugliest building I have seen the City of San Jose produce since the Old City Hall on Mission Street.
Last Friday, the California Legislature passed AB 1505 Land Use: Zoning Regulations, also known as Palmer fix. AB 1505 allows local governments to require affordable housing units in new rental developments. At this time, we are waiting for the Governor's signature on this bill. As a result of this legislation, the memo regarding Potential Modifications to the Affordable Housing Impact Fee and Inclusionary Housing programs will be dropped from the September 19, 2017 agenda. Once this item is reagendized, we will send you notification of the rescheduled Council Agenda date.
This is only PART of the story! The Mayor and City Council aren't paying attention to a lot of development going on in our neighborhoods. A gas station owner right near my apartment just got approval for a 5 car stackable automated carwash ZERO feet from our 4-plex, right under my, and 16 other 4-plex bedroom windows, AND less than a half of a block from an elementary school where at least 50-60 kids will be walking to and from school, in the direct path of the exit of this car wash! I have filed an appeal to this project to the tune of a $500.00 appeals fee! Sickening!
Plus, the Planning Department is rubber stamping and advocating for these projects based on old outdated ordinances. These are cookie cutter ordinances that do not take individual sites into account! The Planning Commission is pushing them through based on the Planning Departments approval of these projects and these antiquated ordinances. The whole process is a frightening joke!
What is needed is affordable housing, more options for everyone. Many can't, neither want to waste $3K to $5K in month's rent, but the city is not allowing for options like other cities in the US. It is abusing.
> What is needed is affordable housing, more options for everyone.
San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara metro area has the highest median household income in the country: $110,040.
Any "affordable (tax-payer subsidized) housing" built in San Jose will be "rich people" housing in just about every other metro in the U.S.
If you want to build housing that people can afford, build it in Laredo, Texas or Grants Pass, Oregon.
Whose idea was it that a tiny thimble full of people have a "right" to have someone else pay for their "rich people" housing in the most expensive metropolitan area in the U.S.?
Why is this news? This has been going on since Cisco set up ship here to fleece the public.

Supreme Court reverses Bombay High Court's decision, says POCSO Act will be applicable even without skin to skin touch
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday overturned the Bombay High Court's decision, which had said that skin to skin touch for sexual harassment. Must be. On Thursday, the Supreme Court reversed the decision of the Bombay High Court, saying that skin-to-skin touch is not necessary for the POCSO Act. The Supreme Court has said that it cannot be said that touching the sensitive parts of a child with the intention of sexual harassment is not sexual abuse. If this is said, then the seriousness of the POCSO Act, made to protect children from sexual abuse, will end.
The Supreme Court set aside the Bombay High Court's decision and sentenced the accused to three years' imprisonment. The Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court had acquitted an accused of sexual harassment observing that if there is no direct skin-to-skin contact between the accused and the victim, then no offense of sexual assault under the POCSO Act is made out.
Earlier, the apex court had also issued notice to the Maharashtra government while staying the decisions and allowed the Attorney General to file an appeal against the decision. The Supreme Court had reserved its verdict in the case on 30 September.
The Supreme Court was hearing the petitions filed by several other parties, including the Maharashtra State Commission for Women, supporting this petition, including the petition filed by Attorney General KK Venugopal against this controversial decision issued by the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court.
The Supreme Court bench had said, "The parties are free to submit their written representations within three days." The judgment is reserved.' The Maharashtra government had told the apex court that it would adopt the statement given by Attorney General KK Venugopal. Venugopal had earlier told the top court that the controversial Bombay High Court judgment would set a "dangerous and degrading precedent" and needed to be reversed.

Retaining critical therapeutic elements of behavioral interventions translated for delivery via the internet: Recommendations and an example using pain coping skills training
Christine Rini, Laura S. Porter, Tamara J. Somers, Daphne C. McKee, Francis J. Keefe
Evidence supporting the efficacy of behavioral interventions based on principles of cognitive behavioral therapies has spurred interest in translating these interventions for delivery via the Internet. However, the benefits of this dissemination method cannot be realized unless the translated interventions are as effective as possible. We describe a challenge that must be overcome to ensure this occurs - Internet interventions must retain therapeutic components and processes underlying the success of face-to-face interventions on which they are based. These components and processes vary in the ease with which they can be translated to the online environment. Moreover, some are subtle and may be overlooked, despite being recognized as essential to the success of face-to-face interventions. We provide preliminary guidance for retaining critical therapeutic components and processes in the translation process, using Pain Coping Skills Training for osteoarthritis pain to illustrate methods. Directions for future research are also discussed.

Bears 'n' booze too grisly for Portman
| 09 March, 2007
Bears and booze have again proved an inadvisable combination for Asda, which has been asked to withdraw a gift pack for the second time in 12 months.
The Portman Group said the Chocolate and Cream gift pack, which included a soft toy bear, Baileys miniature and a mug, appealed to under-18s.
Portman chief executive David Poley said: "These companies have overstepped the mark with this irresponsible marketing. The Portman Group has repeatedly warned the industry about the risks of selling alcohol with cuddly toys.
"We are pleased that swift action has been taken to remove this product from sale. In future, we hope that all alcohol gift-pack producers will seek pre-sale advice on responsible marketing ."
Last June, Asda was asked to stop selling a Bubbly and Bear gift pack, produced by Blue Sky Beverage Co.


If you don't want to mishear these songs for the rest of your life, you maybe shouldn't watch this video. It's all the best misheard lyrics, compiled into one NSFW video, a video that will destroy listening to the radio for the rest of your life. Why would you watch this, you may be asking? Ummm ... because it's really funny. And you're tired of that Alanis Morissette song anyway.

Q: Select element to show from an JSON array in an ng-model I have a JSON object that have (inside) an array of objects. I want to show one (the active one) in an input, and the others in a list of spans (or divs, or labels, don't care).
The element looks like this:
[{
    name:"myName",
    age: "myAge",
    items:[
        {
            itemName:"someName1",
            itemIsActive:false
        },
        {
            itemName:"someName2",
            itemIsActive:true
        },
        {
            itemName:"someName3",
            itemIsActive:false
        },
    ]
}]

The items array size is uncertain (can even be empty).
And the result I'm trying to get is this one:
<input type="text" ng-model="{{here goes the active one}}">

{{here goes the first that is not active}}
{{here goes the next that is not active}}
{{and so on}}

Thanks.

A: Well, one way to do it would be the following.
HTML template

    {{ item.itemName }}
    <input
      type="radio"
      ng-value="item"
      ng-model="$parent.currentItem" />

    <input ng-model="currentItem.itemName" />

            {{ item.itemName }}

Cheap Lean & Green Meal ideas????
HELP! We just bought a house and need to cut back on the bills and giving up Medifast isn't an option, but the lean and green meals need to be more cost effective. Cauliflower is out LOL.
We eat a lot of 93/7 ground turkey at my house...mini meatloaves, tacos, stuffed peppers..
Also I buy chix breasts in the family pack and break them up and then freeze..
I used to only buy frozen vegetables but since Medifast I have realized fresh is the way to go - it is cheaper than frozen or canned. It's more work but the taste & texture are better. I buy fresh cauli, broccoli, and zucchini and chop them up and put them in baggies for the week.
Here is a publication from the usda comparing cost of fresh v. frozen vegetables:.
"The weighted average price for all fresh vegetables was $0.64 per pound. The weighted average price for all fresh vegetables was $0.12 per serving.".
"The weighted average price for all plain/regular frozen vegetables was $1.11 per pound. The weighted average price for all plain/regular frozen vegetables was $0.22 per serving.".
Interesting ideas! Definitely keep them coming. The fresh veggie cost breakdown was interesting Thanks!..
We have a produce outlet near us that sells the 5 lb. bags of salad for $5... if you're a salad person. Maybe you have a place that would sell in bulk for less??..
I love deals. One of the best places to learn how to be frugal is at www.slickdeals.net. Bad thing is that there are many deals up there that put temptation in your way because the prices that people find for stuff are really good..
Hidden in SD are some really awesome threads.
Here is a huge compilation of online coupons, organized by item:.
When you go shopping, make your list, and then browse that for possible coupons. Egg Beaters, Kraft cheese, Green Giant frozen veggies, Golden Plump chicken, etc are all listed among many others..
Then look if the store you frequently shop at is listed.
Personally, I love Target. We have SuperTargets here, and they have full grocery stores with produce. Target also puts up coupons on their site, and I watch the SD Target thread for deals..
One coupon that I love finding out is available is their $1 off any produce. I love cheap and free veggies And it was reprintable.
Better yet is their deals when they start putting together coupons. Like Target allows 1 target coupon and 1 manufacturer coupon per item. For a month, I was getting 5 chef boyardee free (hey, the husband will eat it occasionally, and a bunch went to the food shelf :P) because there was a Target coupon that was $1 off, and it was on sale for 97 cents. And then ConAgra put out a coupon that if you bought 5 of their products, you got ground beef for a buck. And you could combine the two deals since one was T, and one was Manufacturer. So I scan the Target thread and let other people find the good deals for me.
It's not L&G suggestions, but I figured it might help.
Today I saw whole Keta salmon at Whole Foods for $3.99 a pound. You could cut or have them cut it into steaks or fillet it and freeze in dinner sized portions. The frozen talapia fillets at Costco are reasonable. They come individually wrapped. One and a half fillets is a 7 oz. portion.
I will second costco. I but frozen individually wrapped chicken breast. The cheapest though are the tuna cans. They come in 7oz cans (so you can use one rather than two small cans) and eat that either right on top of lettuce for a salad, or cut up celery and mix with newmans own lighten up ceasar for a tuna salad. Lots of variation really and tuna is cheap.
Do you have an Aldi? They have every option we need for L&G. I haven't been able to beat the overall shopping bill from Aldi. I can do a few things here and there for less if I have time to put in the legwork. I feed a family of five that includes 3 men for less than $75/week..
Soup is a great saver, here's a recipe from Freedom.
Quick, Easy and DELICIOUS Cabbage Soup.
Fall is on it's way, and for me that means it's soup season! Soups can be your best friend whether you're trying to lose weight or just looking for a way to get lots of nutrition in your meals. Some people think being a good cook is complicated, but when it comes to soup, you've never had it so easy!.
Here's a very simple, super flexible, EASY recipe for Cabbage Soup. (It's not just for diets anymore!) It can be as basic or as complex as you wish, and as varied as the veggies in your refrigerator. There are no real measurements here, so you can put in more or less of whatever you like. Consider this a lesson in basic healthy soupmaking! The quantities I am listing here are for ONE serving (and this is something you can whip up in less than 30 minutes for lunch or dinner) but you can use more for a big pot..
Meat: For your protein, you need some COOKED meat. I prefer lean ground beef or turkey (browned and drained) but you can also use lean sausage or cooked beans (kidney are my fave). You can omit the meat/beans for a completely veg soup. I used 5 ounces (cooked) of lean ground grass fed local beef..
Liquid: you can use any kind of broth, or just water with a little beef, chicken, or vegetable bouillon added. I used one cup of organic low sodium chicken broth..
Cabbage: Fresh cabbage, chopped in bite-sized pieces. Use as much as you wish, but I think it tastes best to have about twice as much cabbage as other veggies..
Tomatoes: These are essential to flavor the broth. Doesn't matter if they are fresh or canned, just use bite-sized pieces. I used fresh chopped tomatoes from my garden..
Other veggies: You do NOT have to add any other veggies if you don't want to! Believe it or not, the soup is delicious with just cabbage and tomatoes. But, if you like, you can add more veggies. Celery is my favorite. I also like mushrooms, chopped peppers, carrots (if your plan permits them), zucchini, and baby spinach. If you use zucchini or spinach, add it 5-10 minutes from the end of cooking time so it doesn't get mushy..
The TOTAL amount of vegetables including cabbage and tomatoes I used (for one serving) is 2 cups raw. It cooks down to about 1 1/2 cups cooked..
Flavor: A bit of chopped onion gives a lot of flavor. I used onion powder in mine. Fresh minced/pressed garlic is also great; I added a little garlic powder. I also used black pepper and sea salt to taste. Simple is really best with this soup! If you want something different, add some Italian seasonings such as oregano and basil. If you like spice, a dash of cayenne is great.
Put all the stuff in a pot and simmer for about 25 minutes, stirring once in awhile. That's it! Soup's done! And oh my, was it delicious!.
99, it is delicious and low $$$..
Terrific ideas!!! I am making the cabbage soup tomorrow night! Think I'll use ground turkey in it!..

Cramer: Market Rushes to Refill Its Glass
Events that would normally give investors pause have merely primed the pump.
Sep 11, 2017 | 02:34 PM EDT
Stocks quotes in this article: IBM, MMM, MCD, UNH, HON, LOW, HD, TRV, AAPL, SWKS, AVGO, MU, TXN, FB, AMZN, NFLX, GOOGL, WFM, PG
Sometimes the market sees a glass half full. Other times, a glass half empty. It's a very rare market, though, that sees a half-full glass and judges it to be brimming. This is that kind of market.
In the past 72 hours, we have seen a whole slew of events that could normally give investors a pause to think and reflect. This one, instead, gives buyers an opportunity to get in while the getting's still good. Another group of upcoming events would usually cause buyers to be wary. Instead, they are enthusiastically embracing the future with relish.
Let's go over them so you know exactly what I am talking about, as their mosaic has created the very tapestry of a snorting bull market.
First, it's a very rare moment when the absence of negatives, however fleeting or relative, creates a stampede of buying.
But the fact that North Korea did not test a missile on Saturday -- the Day of the Foundation of the Republic, as that country's holiday is known -- came as a bit of a shock, and a harbinger of a less warrior-like Dear Leader Kim Jong-un. The fact that hope can spring eternal where there's little basis in fact is a sign of blind faith that's integral to a bull market's character.
I heard today that the People's Republic may be putting pressure on North Korea to behave. That would be antithetical to anything in the history between these two best friends, but rationality isn't necessarily a hallmark of stampedes. As has been the case for quite a while, our market took its cue from positive European bourse action, a still little-noticed fact that has become a ritual for the first days since the Great Recession struck 10 years ago. That's a key driver behind moves in the big-capitalization stocks in the averages -- think IBM (IBM) , 3M (MMM) , McDonald's (MCD) , United Health (UNH) and Honeywell (HON) .
Second, while the loss of life cannot be underestimated, and the sheer destruction not overlooked, the fact that Irma behaved better than expected was enough to trigger a relief rally. It doesn't matter that there were perhaps tens of billions of dollars in damages, Irma didn't live up to the scary hype, so to speak, so that too boosted the futures markets.
We had seen a mad rush into Treasuries last week, sending interest rates lower, something that in more normal times would be a good thing, but buyers' biggest worries are fears of a slowdown and a less aggressive Fed, which could hurt bank earnings. With no disasters occurring, we got a reversal that cheered the fretful and gave birth to a more positive state of mind.
Of course, there were a host of stocks that had run in anticipation of a massive rebuild in the wake of Irma -- just think of Lowe's (LOW) and Home Depot (HD) and what's sold in those endless aisles -- and they took a header. But I have no doubt that they can reverse as the insurance checks come in from the incredible wind damage visited upon the Southeast. Remember, wind damage, unlike flooding, produces checks from the insurance companies, and their coffers are filled from years without natural disasters. These stocks, which had been in a relentless downturn, can, I believe, shake off the selling and rally anew.
That's not unlike what I expect to happen not to homeowners but car owners in the Houston area after Hurricane Harvey's destruction. Very few have flood insurance, but there are hundreds of thousands of car owners with coverage, and the ruined autos are so massive that they represent a break in the inexorable decline in the auto cycle.
So, two big bearish theories, peak housing and peak autos, could be challenged here at the exact same time that the redoubtable insurance complex, led by Dow stock Travelers (TRV) , can restart its engines, and the damage could be strong enough to raise rates, but not powerful enough to dent balance sheets.
As full as the glass about the past may be, the future's cup totally runneth over today.
First, tomorrow is the launch of the new Apple (AAPL) iPhone and we are hearing about a $1,000 price tag for it. In a more skeptical time, that would be a non-starter. Who's going to spend that kind of money? But this is not a skeptical time. In this country, we know the phone companies will subsidize the purchase. In other countries, the status of the phone could increase sales.
So we have a wholesale rush not only into the stock of Apple but into all of the parts makers, from Universal Display -- with the apt symbol OLED, for the organic light emitting diode that we hear could be a crucial component of the phone -- to Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) , Broadcom (AVGO) , Micron (MU) -- 52-week high there --and Texas Instruments (TXN) .
When the animal spirits are running, you know what's got to partake: FANG. While we may tire of the acronym for Facebook (FB) , Amazon (AMZN) , Netflix (NFLX) and Google (GOOGL) , now Alphabet, as is often the case there are reasons for the run. Facebook's talking about spending $1 billion for original television. Given that right now you provide the entertainment, that's a small price to pay. We hear that Amazon's price cuts at Whole Foods (WFM) have already brought a considerable boost in sales. Amazon's power is so great that it's going to be a topic of conversation when we speak to David Taylor, CEO of Procter & Gamble (PG) , in tonight's show. (Apple, Broadcom, Facebook and Alphabet are part of TheStreet's Action Alerts PLUS portfolio.)
Netflix always does well when people are shut in. It's as much of a storm play as Amazon, which gets new Prime members when local stores are closed for inclement weather. Alphabet's lagging again, but I saw some chatter about how YouTube's starting to pick up some advertising with its programming.
Finally, when we hear that business is better, whether it be from the checks in the mail from the storms, or a weaker dollar or an overall acceleration of worldwide growth, the transports always run. That's a terrific measure of commerce and one that always gets the bulls running.
Once again, I am not minimizing the tragedy of national disasters, no more than I would be remiss in talking about the sad 16th anniversary of 9/11, but there's something to be said about a market that views things positively even as it's no time to celebrate in the real world that is oh so different from stocks and bonds.
Action Alerts PLUS, which Cramer co-manages as a charitable trust, is long AAPL, AVGO, FB and GOOGL.

We Have Our Eyes on the Transports
Guy Ortmann
The most notable technical event on Tuesday happened with the Dow Transports.


The fifteen year six month career of D5127/24127 was spent allocated only to Scottish Region depots.
Shortened fuel & water tank.
Modified Headcode boxes - with sloped sides (No.2 cab only - fitted at Derby July 1971?).
Time between withdrawal & scrapping: 14 months.
December 18th 1975 to store (unserviceable).
After withdrawal 24127 was stored at Carstairs until moved to Doncaster depot during May 1976, remaining there until about December 1976 when it was moved to Doncaster Works and broken up by April 1977.
Noted Glasgow Works May 1973.
Noted Glasgow Works October 1974.
On March 23rd an eighteen coach 'Grand Tour' excursion ran from Edinburgh to Perth via Carlisle starting out with D368 & D1973. At Perth Class 5 44997 & A4 60009 replaced the diesels for the run to Aberdeen. Here Type 2s D5070 & D5127 ran out over the GNS mainline to Keith, Craigellachie and the Speyside line to Aviemore. A stop was made here to add D5122 for the run south over the Highland mainline, the two steamers rejoining the train at Perth for the final leg to Edinburgh.
Condition August: green livery, blanking plate fitted (four slats).
On September 5th the Scottish Grand Tour No 11 featured a circular tour from Edinburgh to Aberdeen and Inverness, with nine coaches in charge of 364. A restaurant car problem delayed departure from Inverness for two hours, but an intended stop of similar duration at Aviemore was curtailed to recover the 'lost' time. Time however was of the essence due to the long block sections and other late running services causing pathing problems. In departing from Aviemore oil pressure was lost and the Class 40 declared a total failure. The southbound 'Royal Highlander' was able to pick up some passengers off the special but it was not until the 19.37 relief Inverness - Euston appeared with 261 piloting 5119 & 5127 that a glimmer of hope appeared. Unfortunately the block section south of Aviemore was thirty four miles long (four boxes were switched out), so departure was still delayed. Finally three hours late at 21.22 the excursion headed for home, with arrival in Edinburgh at 01.43, 220 minutes late.
On October 7th the Wirral Railway Circle 'Orcadian' railtour utilised 5127 & 5129 between Inverness & Wick.
Condition June 1973: modified headcode box at No.2 end, has sloping wings similar to 24147 (believed altered at Dery Works during its July 1971 visit).
Photograph collection of webmaster. 5127 is photographed at Dingwall on October 3rd 1973 with the 11.08 Kyle of Lochalsh - Inverness service. This locomotive carries the boiler grille blanking plate with four louvres rather than the more common five louvres.
From time to time pairs of Type 2s were still utilised on the heavier, longer distance Scottish workings, on May 3rd the 15.35 Glasgow Queen Street – Aberdeen was powered by 25026 & 24127.
On November 12th 24127 was noted at Glasgow Queen Street in charge of the 08.35 service to Oban, Class 27s being the more normal power on this line.
24127 was withdrawn February 2nd 1976, as was sister locomotive 24126.
Condition final: blue/yellow livery, gangway doors removed, headlight location sheeted over with square plates at No.1 end, headlights fitted at No.2 end; shortened fuel & water tanks, fuel tank has circular gauge, solid blanking plates fitted (four slats), hand/footholds plated over, cantrail water filler present, three-rung bogie mounted footsteps, ridge sided sandboxes. three piece miniature snowploughs fitted, vertically hinged battery isolating switch cover, modified headcode box at No.2 end, has sloping wings similar to 24147.

I made two cards today for the One Layer Wednesday challenge hosted by Jennifer Styles this week. Although they are both one layer cards, one of them was much more involved than the other. This will show you the extreme looks you can create on a one layer card.
I have been making a lot of warm, sun and beach themed cards lately, and this one is no exception.
I sponged the sand and water, and used a brayer for the sky. I took Michelle Zindorf's brayer classes a little over a year ago, and love to play around with her technique. As you can see, you can create very elaborate cards with just one layer.
This card is much more simple, but still packs a punch.
The bird cage and stand are embossed to make it look like wrought iron. The triangulation of red in the three image areas pulls the whole card together.
The large bird cage image in this set doesn't have a perch for the birds to sit on, so I drew one with a black marker before I stamped the bird cage.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you're having a great week!
Wow....like night and day with these two looks K. Great job. I just love that beach scene. Amazing.
Talk about totally rockin' the challenge!
I love how you made two completely different cards using the same sketch!
I gotta learn me some brayering!
Awesome job on the challenge and thanks for playing along with OLW38!
WOW! These are downright spectacular! I've been struggling coming up with an idea for this challenge and I don't normally look at what others have done prior to doing my own, but, WOW! you've nailed this challenge! Gorgeous cards!
Karen, this is totally ROCKIN' not least because I came up with the EXACT SAME IDEA!!!!!!! LOL, a perfect example of great minds thinking alike. This is just too funny. You posted first, so I guess you win!
heheehe you and Susan R are twins!! These cards are great!!
Both cards are simply fabulous...but that first card...WOW!!! I love the look of brayering...just haven't mastered it. Maybe I could use some lessons!
The second card is so simple...yet it really pack a punch! Love your work!!
That beach scene is awesome. Your effect of light is perfect.
Both fab and you are so right in that it is sometimes easy to spend a LOT of time on a one layer card!

Marjorie Taylor Greene slays four big dragons: Antifa, BLM, Soros & Unaccountable Government
May 23, 2021: Most Americans (and certainly all morally and ethically grounded American patriots) are disgusted by the racism, hatred, and violence of racist domestic terrorist groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM). The role of our politicians and justice system to enable and exacerbate the hatred perpetrated by George Soros funded Antifa and BLM is equally disgraceful and shameful. Mainstream media and social media have also been guilty of throwing their support and interference behind the racist thugs in Antifa and BLM as they trace their paths of hatred and violence in perpetuity. For far too long, we have seen these elements of social decay and deviance (Antifa, BLM, George Soros, and Big Government) commit crimes against American society without response and without a shred of accountability.
The 30-minute video attached is a fact-by-fact statement from Marjorie Taylor Greene during her House Floor Speech on May 20, 2021. This House Floor Speech provides an exhaustive set of important data and facts that quantify the amount of immense financial damage and personal harm caused by Antifa and BLM all while Big Government and the Justice Department did absolutely nothing to address this perpetual criminal crisis. It is important to understand that while Big Government overreach continues to torment law-abiding moral citizens for the pettiest of Covid 'infractions', the same useless Big Government 'steamroller' may as well be partnering with George Soros and his Antifa and BLM paramilitary 'team' in an effort to undermine American society and to put all decent American citizens at risk. Figuratively speaking, the four worst 'Covid Variants' sweeping through America are the miscreants and deviants hiding behind the "curtain of Covid" – Antifa, BLM, George Soros, and Big Useless Government. Marjorie Taylor Greene does a masterful job in addressing all this and much more during her most recent House Floor Speech.

As the NFL's competition committee soon considers a rule that would penalize players for using the N-word on the field, one veteran believes it will be difficult for the league to police the use of the racial slur.
"I think it's going to be really tough to legislate this rule, to find a way to penalize everyone who uses this word," Ryan Clark, a Pittsburgh Steelers safety who's spent 12 years in the league, told ESPN's Bob Ley during an "Outside The Lines" special report. "And it's not going to be white players using it toward black players. Most of the time you hear it, it's black players using the word."
The OTL broadcast aired Sunday night, just days after the head of the Fritz Pollard Alliance, which monitors diversity in the NFL, said he expects the league to establish a rule that would call for a 15-yard penalty for players who use the N-word on the field.
John Wooten, the head of the alliance, anticipates that the competition committee will enact the rule at the owners' meeting in late March.
OTL examined the use of the N-word across generations and the black and white cultures, and tapped into the ongoing controversy in Miami. Last week investigator Ted Wells, who was hired by the league to examine the Dolphins' workplace environment, concluded that offensive lineman Jonathan Martin was subjected to "a pattern of harassment" that included racial slurs from teammate Richie Incognito.
The scandal, which came to light in November, fueled months of debate over locker room etiquette and language and whether the N-word is an acceptable term of endearment among teammates within the culture of football (Martin is black, Incognito is white).
Clark, who is black, said Sunday that he thinks Incognito was "empowered to use the word."
"If I'm sitting at a table with Incognito, and he speaks to Jonathan Martin and used the N-word, I'm not stepping in to save Jonathan Martin or to defend him. I'm stepping in because I'm offended that you even fixed your mouth to say it," Clark said.
While some portrayed the Dolphins' locker room as unmanaged and lacking leadership, Clark by comparison said the Steelers' locker room is a place of mutual respect and even restraint, where team owner Dan Rooney even has tried to discourage the playing of rap music.
"He told [teammate Ike Taylor], I don't want you guys listening to that music. I don't want you guys using that word," Clark recounted. "And his reason behind it was that people fought against people using that word. People felt like that word was demeaning. There were terrible acts done by men using that word and by people using that word."
Clark said that Taylor had the music shut off because of Rooney.
"Guys accepted it. It wasn't like that you stopped hearing the music totally. You stopped hearing it that day," Clark said. "But it came back. That's the culture. That's what these guys have grown up with."
In the OTL broadcast, basketball's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Chauncey Billups, football's Joe Greene and soccer's Brianna Scurry talked about their feelings about the N-word and answered questions from high school students in New Jersey about who can and can't use the word.

The McKinsey Global Institute has published a sweeping overview of the looming effects of technology on the global workforce. The 160 page report is a well-researched and honest attempt to predict the future of our relationship with technology. We say relationship because as the report dives deeper into the comprehensive ways that technology envelops our lives, the question is not merely about "robots taking our jobs" but rather more like a landscape where we need to make many compromises if this marriage it going to work out. We can forgive McKinsey's researchers for being overly optimistic describing their data in this way "the results reveal a rich mosaic of potential shifts in occupations in the years ahead…" a quote that could be taken straight out of a Human Resources handbook on employee termination. It helps to have a positive spin when writing about this issue because things could go very badly for us, but they are not fait accompli.
The Blue Collar Think Tank promotes the holistic introduction of technology into the work force and we agree with the McKinsey report that the front lines of a successful transition lay with employers and also the way the employees see the very idea of work. We would advise an additional component to this which would be increasing workers control over their workplace. The McKinsey report points out that the introduction of new technology can be expensive and time consuming, suggesting that employers may even decide that automation doesn't make economic sense. The conundrum of rising productivity resulting conversely in flat wages in America suggests otherwise; corporate managers seem to believe that jumping on the tech train is inevitable and they collude with shareholders against workers on these decisions. The labor force needs to have more of a say in IT policy that will adversely affect their paychecks, sweeping reform of corporate by-laws will be required for this to work, perhaps with a requirement for members of unions to be equal equity partners.
The McKinsey researchers are quick to point out that they could be underestimating the negative impacts of automation in the workplace noting that policy makers may be slow to respond to the challenge, that workers will not have replacement jobs quickly at the ready or the ability to gain new skills which will create a downward pressure on wages. We believe that the epicenter for the political change needed to address these issues will be in mayor's offices nationwide. Who doesn't know a grade school teacher who is forced to buy her own supplies for students because the district is perpetually underfunded? With a conservative estimate of 15% of the workforce displaced a massive strain on tax revenues on already crumbling municipalities will bring the problem to a head. This will eventually pit policy makers against employers that are overzealous with automation, because after all robots don't pay taxes.

My sister's flight from Orlando to Philadelphia was delayed 18 hours. The airline refused to compensate her until she pointed out to them that she could have driven to Philadelphia in 18 hours. Maybe you could argue that you could have swam to Budapest in 30 hours? That may not be as compelling an argument, though.

Please select the "my deposit isn't protected" option above and follow the steps.
If you are a tenant in an assured shorthold tenancy (AST) agreement, your landlord is legally obligated to protect your deposit through a Government-backed tenancy deposit scheme – either The Deposit Protection Service (DPS), MyDeposits, or The Dispute Service.
The law states that your landlord has 30 days to protect your deposit once you have paid it. Then, within these same 30 days, your landlord must provide you with 'prescribed information' in writing, which contains the details of your deposit protection.
If your landlord is refusing to refund your tenancy deposit, or you are having trouble getting the money back, our expert housing law solicitors can help you. After an initial discussion about your case, we will assess the scenario and advise you on the wisest course of legal action. If you are entitled to compensation, we will work hard to quickly obtain it for you.
Call 0161 224 3311 to discuss your case with us, or send an email to enquiries@wtbsolicitors.com and we'll be in touch.
Take a look at our FAQs below for more information.
Am I in an 'assured shorthold' tenancy?
If you rent your home from a private landlord, it is likely that this is through an assured shorthold tenancy agreement.
If you moved into the property between 15th January 1989 and 27th February 1997, your landlord had to give you a notice – before the start of the tenancy – stating that this was through an assured shorthold tenancy. If, on the other hand, your tenancy started before 15th January 1989, you probably have a 'regulated' tenancy agreement with your landlord – which is different.
If you are a lodger living in the same property as your landlord, or you are a student living in halls of residence, this won't be an assured shorthold tenancy.
What 'prescribed information' does my landlord need to give me?
When you have paid your deposit, your landlord has 30 days to give you the prescribed information. If they don't, you will be entitled to claim compensation under the county court.
What happens if my landlord doesn't protect my deposit?
You can notify the county court, which can then order your landlord to either refund your deposit orpay it into a Government-backed tenancy deposit scheme within 14 days.
The court can also order your landlord to pay you compensation (between one and three times the amount of your tenancy deposit figure) within 14 days.
Usually not. In the majority of cases we can reach an out-of-court settlement within the first four weeks.


Google has introduced a new feature to Google Maps aimed at helping those with mobility needs. Starting today, in London, New York, Tokyo, Mexico City, Boston, and Sydney wheelchair accessible routes are available and it's the start of something that for many will serve as a life-changing addition. To highlight how life-changing, I borrowed a bit from my friend and colleague Jerry Hildenbrand.
This isn't a complicated bit of news to understand, but how it can touch the lives of millions around the world might be. I can't speak for everyone in a wheelchair, but I know how different the world can be when you're stuck in one.
I've been confined to a wheelchair on and off for 15 years and full-time for the past five. So many of the things I used to take for granted are now problematic, sometimes to the point where I lost any desire to do them. Grabbing a train or bus to head downtown is one of them because getting "stuck" is heartbreaking and embarrassing. And it happens a lot more than you may think; any outing that's new brings apprehension and worry that it may be cut short because there is no way to wheel myself from point A to point B. Something like flying out to Google I/O is fun and exciting for most everyone making the trip but for me, it means anxiety from the moment I say goodbye to my wife until the moment I say hello to a familiar face at the other end.
Accessibility goes beyond those of us in a chair, too. Anyone who has a tougher time getting around may need a ramp or an elevator, as do people with strollers or any type of cart. It's just as easy to get stuck trying to push the kids or a bunch of tools from one place to another and just as frustrating when it happens. Hopefully, we see the feature in more places soon.
Accessing the options in Google Maps is easy, Tap "Directions" then select the public transportation icon. Then tap "Options" and under the Routes section, you'll find "wheelchair accessible" as a new route type. Google notes they will be working with additional transit agencies in the next few months to get even more wheelchair accessible routes into Google Maps.
