7 Things You Probably Don't Know About Bastille Day
Holidays France
Eben Diskin
Although America's Independence Day has come and gone, France can still look forward to its national holiday on July 14 — Bastille Day (which may be extra patriotic this year given that the France vs. Croatia World Cup finals are the very next day). Bastille Day celebrates the storming of the Bastille prison in 1789 by the French revolutionaries, and its fall symbolizes the fall of royal tyranny and oppression. But beyond a few basic facts, you might not know a whole lot about Bastille Day or how it's celebrated by the French. Here are seven things you probably don't know about Bastille Day.
1. July 14 isn't just significant for the Bastille storming.
When the French government was trying to decide on a national holiday in 1880, it was a rather controversial subject. Conservatives opposed the July 14 date because they believed the Bastille storming was too bloody to merit celebration. Several other options were considered, including September 21 when the original French Republic was created, and August 4, the anniversary of the feudal system's abolishment. Eventually, July 14 won out because it represented two historic occasions in French history: the storming of the Bastille in 1789 and 1790's peaceful Festival of the Federation. Citizens were invited to decide for themselves which event they'd rather celebrate, though Bastille Day has certainly emerged as the predominant event.
2. The storming only freed seven prisoners.
While much is made of the freeing of prisoners at the Bastille on July 14, there were actually only seven captives left inside the prison. Some reports say these prisoners were insane, forgers, and disgraced noblemen, though we may never know for sure exactly who they were. The dearth of prisoners didn't spoil the revolutionaries' victory, however, because…
3. The Bastille was stormed primarily for gunpowder.
Preparing for war, the National Assembly and ordinary French citizens realized they needed weapons and ammunition. Before the storming of the Bastille, they broke into a soldiers' hospital in Paris and seized 3,000 guns and five canons, but this firepower was useless without gunpowder. Immediately after seizing the guns, the group continued on to the closest location with the largest stockpile of gunpowder: the Bastille.
4. The Bastille wasn't originally a prison.
When the Bastille was built in 1357, it was designed as a fortress to keep out invading armies during the Hundred Years' War with England. The Bastille was meant to stall an attack on Paris from the east. After the war, the fortress's rectangular walls and tall towers made it an effective prison, though it didn't actually house a prisoner until the 17th century when Cardinal de Richelieu began jailing Louis XIII's enemies there.
5. All the action happens at fire stations.
If you happen to be in France on Bastille Day and want to celebrate as authentically as possible, head to your local fire station. On the night of July 13 or 14, most fire stations throw large dance parties for the entire neighborhood. Some charge an admission fee, though for those that don't, it's customary to leave behind a donation.
6. The annual parade is one of the oldest military parades in the world.
For Parisians, one of the main attractions of Bastille Day is the annual military parade down the Champs-Elysees. The parade begins in the morning with drums and trumpets announcing the arrival of the French president and proceeds from the Arc de Triomphe to Place de la Concorde. There's a lot happening on the ground, but don't forget to look up. Planes and helicopters will be putting on an unforgettable show in the sky.
7. In France, no one calls it "Bastille Day."
Surprisingly, calling the holiday "Bastille Day" is probably the most touristy mistake you can make if you're traveling around France on July 14. Officially, the French refer to the day as la Fête Nationale, or "The National Holiday." Informally, natives call it le Quatorze Juillet (July 14). "Bastille Day" is actually an English term rarely used in France — except by tourists.

Charles III Philip (4 November 1661 – 31 December 1742) was Elector Palatine, Count of Palatinate-Neuburg, and Duke of Jülich and Berg from 1716 to 1742. Until 1728 he was also Count of Megen.

Early life
Born in Neuburg an der Donau, Charles Philip was the seventh of seventeen children of Philip William, Elector Palatine and Elisabeth Amalie of Hesse-Darmstadt.

Though Charles Philip became a cleric in Cologne at the age of fourteen in 1677 in Salzburg, and again in 1679 in Mainz, he was not ordained but instead started a military career in 1684. He then joined the Habsburg war against the Turks 1691–1694 and was promoted imperial field marshal. In 1712 he was appointed Governor of Further Austria in Innsbruck.

Career

Charles Philip succeeded his brother Johann Wilhelm, Elector Palatine on his death in 1716. He moved the Palatinate's capital from Heidelberg to the new city of Mannheim in 1720, but not before promoting his favorite court jester, Perkeo of Heidelberg, to be in charge of the castle's wine stocks.  To strengthen the union of all lines of the Wittelsbach dynasty Charles Philip organized a wedding on 17 January 1742 when his granddaughter Elizabeth Auguste was married to Charles Theodore of Palatinate-Sulzbach and her sister Maria Anna to the Bavarian prince Clement. In the imperial election a few days later Charles III Philip voted for his Bavarian cousin Prince-Elector Charles Albert.

Succession
Upon his death in December 1742, the Palatinate-Neuburg line became extinct, and the Electorate of the Palatinate (including Neuburg, Jülich and Berg) was inherited by Charles Theodore of the Palatinate-Sulzbach line of the Wittelsbach family. Another granddaughter of Charles Philip, Countess Palatine Maria Franziska of Sulzbach, was later married to Count Palatine Frederick Michael of Zweibrücken. Their son Maximilian I Joseph of Palatinate-Zweibrücken became the heir of the Palatinate-Sulzbach line.

While in Mannheim, Charles III Philip, and later his successor Charles IV Theodore, put together what was commonly regarded as the finest orchestra in all of Europe.  Under the leadership of musicians such as Johann Stamitz and Carlo Grua, the orchestra of the Kapelle was lauded by such musicians such as Leopold and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Personal life

Charles Philip was married three times. His first marriage took place in Berlin on 10 August 1688 when he married Princess Ludwika Karolina Radziwiłł, dowager margravine of Brandenburg and a wealthy heiress in Lithuania. They had four children although only a single daughter, Elisabeth Auguste, lived to adulthood:

 Leopoldine Eleonore Josephine (1689–1693), who died young.
 Maria Anna (1690–1692), who died young.
 Elisabeth Auguste Sophie (1693–1728), who married her kinsman, the Count Palatine Joseph Karl of Sulzbach, in 1717.
 Stillborn son (1695–1695), who died in childbirth at Brieg.

After the death of his first wife, Ludwika, a few days after the birth of their fourth child due to complications from the birth, he married, secondly Princess Teresa Lubomirska, heiress of Ostroh in Kraków on 15 December 1701. They had two daughters, neither of whom though lived past the age of three:

 Theophila Elisabeth Franziska Felicitas (1703–1705).
 Anna Elisabeth Theophila (1709–1712), who was born and died at Innsbruck.

In 1728, he married Countess Violente Maria Theresia of Thurn und Taxis, (1683–1734), daughter of Count Philipp-Wilhelm of Thurn and Taxis and the Countess Marie-Adelheid von Aham zu Wildenau. This childless union was treated morganatic, as the Augsburg branch of the wealthy Thurn and Taxis family had only been elevated to baronial rank in 1657 and made counts of the Empire in 1701. But Violente received the honorary title of Princess from Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI in 1733.

Charles III died in Mannheim on 31 December 1742.

D3 should give the following: a mixed C-E-SE district (ratio is 4.1), divvy up the sectionals as necessary; 4 NE (4.34 ratio) sectionals, 5 NW (4.9 ratio) sectionals, 3 SW (2.6 ratio) sectionals. Could see some shifting around, but I think that's what should happen.
So with Jefferson Area and Ravenna southeast moving to Garfield Heights more than likely do they just add them or is there a team on the border who gets moved to a different district?
Nobody would get shifted around at the district level, but a team or two could get shifted to a different sectional within the NE. I presume Jefferson would go to Beachwood, and Southeast would go to Rootstown for sectionals. With Rootstown already having the most schools from this past tournament, the combo of Fairless moving up to DII and adding Southeast in at Rootstown could push Tuslaw and maybe another team to be assigned to the Northwestern sectional.
Please tell me we are not dropping to d3, I've stayed away from the admissions numbers but what is the situation?
I saw the new numbers at 188 for the next cycle.
Ashland dropping would make big differences in those smaller divisions. I think they return everyone minus Bever. Lake Catholic dropping could be big too, but I am not sure what they return.
From looking at that list, Ashland would be a good D2 school if they make the drop. They had a lot of success in D2 before moving up to D1 the last couple of years.
If New Lexington dropped to D3, I think they would be good enough to make the state duals and score a little higher at the individual state tournament.
They had 230 at the last count. Down 42 males in just 2 years?
Am I reading them wrong?
No, I just checked, you're correct. That seems like a huge drop off to me.
The more I look at the numbers, every school I compare has went down from the last count. I know people are having less kids/moving south, but is the entire state shrinking?
Another coach was telling me that an open enrollee counts as two?
For Competitive Balance it can, yes.
Wrestling does NOT have "competitive balance" rules in play. It is just straight enrollment.
Correct. I was answering his question that said coach asked.
The final enrollment numbers were approved.
I have the D2 cut being at either 200 or 199. That is going to be CRUCIAL, as Milan Edison is at 199; if they are in D3 for the next two year cycle there is a state title possibility.
Looks like Lake Catholic will sneak into the bottom of D2.
D1 is a mess. With the cut off number dropping you could almost have a school on the top end have as many boys in one grade as a school on the bottom end has in the entire school.
This seems like an odd statement to me. D1 guys are always the ones that say we only need 1 division! It's the small D2and D3 schools that are usually concerned about where everyone is going.
Can you post a link to the figures?
Glad to hear that I am not the only one that could not figure that out.
BTW, if he is trying to say that we need another division, please NO.
Sometimes I find myself leaning to having only 2 divisions.
I think a very persuasive argument can be made for having two divisions.
Obviously many people will disagree but the numbers support it.
It looks like we have 203 (d3 199) but it doesn't have the incoming freshman numbers. I know last year was one of smallest classes but I think we have several more this year. Can someone verify this, the admin has been tight lipped.

"Growing Heirloom Flowers" is a beautiful book to help gardeners grow more beautiful and productive gardens.
Chris McLaughlin, author of Vertical Vegetable Gardening, has a new book to help gardeners learn how to grow the most fragrant flowers possible. Heirloom flowers not only attract gardeners, they attract the beneficial pollinators that make for more productive vegetable gardens.
Growing Heirloom Flowers: Bring the Vintage Beauty of Heritage Blooms to Your Modern Garden (Cool Springs Press, 2018) is written by an experienced gardener who truly loves old-fashioned flowers. Her book will make you fall in love with them, too.
The book features more than 40 different heirloom flowers to plant in annual and perennial beds, especially those close to the vegetable garden. Family favorite flowers include dahlia, zinnia, foxglove, larkspur, bee balm, lavender and many more. These are the flowers that have irresistible fragrance to attract bees, butterflies and the other pollinators that are so important to healthy vegetable gardens.
Because Chris is an experienced gardening hand, she gives detailed advice on growing each of the heirloom flowers. The full color book is beautifully illustrated with images by Nadeen Flynn.
For each heirloom flower variety, she offers tips, tricks and creative projects, too. Of all the fabulous projects, how to make a summer flower crown may be my favorite. She includes the materials you'll need, the number of focus flowers, filler flowers and greenery to create a crown fit for a wedding or a simple summer tea party.
Besides connecting us to the plants of the past, planting heirloom flowers is important to biological diversity. "Open-pollinated heirloom flowers bring with them a special gift – biological diversity," she writes. "It's important for the health of people and our ecosystems to keep as much natural genetic diversity in every species: plants, animals, people and microorganisms."
She gives a solid gold star to any gardeners "who save their seeds, replant, pass some along to another gardener..." especially when those are heirloom flower seeds.

Century Arms Imports a Surprising Solution for Economical Defensive Carry
For those just starting out, the process of selecting a defensive pistol can quickly become overwhelming. First, there are the basics: caliber, action type, magazine capacity, size, shape, and cost. Then there are the more subtle and, perhaps more insidious, influences of the aftermarket. Going Glock? Better get new sights. M&P? Hope you picked up that improved trigger group. And if your chosen carry gun doesn't show up on Instagram 17 times a day covered in Gucci-Cam with holes drilled into the slide, you might just be wasting your money.
We love gorgeous guns, but we also advised that you not select your carry gun based on trending hashtags. So, in an effort to broaden our horizons, we present to you a true self-defense Darkhorse: the Canik TP9 SF Elite. Admittedly, the full name is a mouthful. But all those letters are wrapped around a robust suite of the market's favorite features.
For the unfamiliar, Canik pistols are produced in Turkey and imported by Century Arms. We previously reviewed the base model Canik TP9 and have maintained from the beginning that it's the cheapest pistol on the shelves today that's still worth a damn. The SF Elite has refined the Canik platform so greatly that we felt it deserved a separate look.
First, let's address our biggest gripe with the original Canik variant — the quasi de-cocking button on top of the slide. This caused us some heartburn, and we're pleased to announce that the Elite dispenses with this feature. It now operates nearly identically to any other striker pistol that you've probably laid hands on. In addition to deleting the one feature we didn't like, they added a handful of upgrades that we do.
Then we'll go to this author's biggest point of snobbery on pistols — the trigger. Generally speaking, striker guns are not known for their miracle triggers. For those of us raised on single-action bang switches, or DA/SA triggers that have received any kind of professional attention, striker triggers will always seem second best. But I can honestly say that the Canik Elite has one of the best striker triggers I've ever squeezed — accolades that are even more impressive in light of the gun's sub-$500 MSRP. After about a ¼ inch of gliding pre-travel, our test trigger broke like a carrot at 5 pounds, 3 ounces with no over-travel and an immediate snapping reset. While some of us still think it's a touch heavy to call "ideal," the word we keep using to describe this trigger is clean. The take-up feels like two sheets of glass rubbing together. The break is firm and nearly instantaneous after that 5-pound mark. There's no mush, crunch, or roll-over at the break point. It's just pressure-pressure-pressure-bang.
But there's more to a good defensive pistol than its trigger. If you're shopping for a handgun that you may potentially have to point at another human being who's trying to harm you, quality sights are also a vital point of analysis. When outfitting the Elite, Canik went straight to the subject-matter experts at Warren Tactical. They've been producing pistol sights for years, refining their products to optimize both utility and target acquisition. The front sight is a large red fiber-optic tube, quickly becoming a staple in the realm of concealed-carry sight setups. The Elite's rear sight is a plain black unit with a wide U-notch and an upsweep on the front side for one-handed manipulation.
Speaking of weapons manipulation, the TP9 SF Elite has incorporated several ergonomic upgrades that make running this gun smooth and simple. The slide release lever has been extended, measuring about 1½ inches in length. Even shooters with shorter thumbs had no difficulty dropping the slide. The magazine release button is also slightly larger than average, with the same net result. The frame is textured from the factory, with a finely studded feel. The Elite also comes with two interchangeable backstraps. The strap is held in place with a single roll pin at the heel that can be tapped out with the included punch.
We ran both and found that the backstraps do more to change the shape of the grip, rather than the size. The pre-installed strap gives you a nearly straight grip, while the alternate piece features a long sweeping hump similar to the legacy SIG profile. Having said this, we'll admit that the Elite's frame definitely caters to the smaller end of the hand-size spectrum. Many will find this an advantage, as it brings all those extended controls nice and close to your master grip. However, shooters with meaty mitts may have some difficulty with this pistol.

Toneelhuis has cancelled the performances of Belgian Rules/Belgium Rules scheduled for 30 November and 1 December. In order to be able to view a performance in its own right, as a performance, a serene atmosphere and an unloaded context are necessary. It is our conviction that such an atmosphere and context are lacking at this time. Under the current circumstances, it is impossible to create the proper framework for both the artists and the audience. Moreover, a longer period of reflection with also give Jan Fabre's company the time that is needed to effectively bring about the changes that have been initiated by the company (with external guidance).
All purchasers of tickets for this show have meanwhile been refunded.
The performances of The generosity of Dorcas, which is playing in the Troubleyn theatre from 5 through 8 December 2018, are taking place as scheduled, however. Toneelhuis is only facilitating the ticket sales for this.

Bernice Summerfield: The Worst Thing in the World review
"We could all do with a fun break that doesn't necessarily have to relate to anything else like Bev now being in charge of the Braxiatel Collection and it not quite working out."
The next adventure of Bernice Summerfield and Jason Kane brings them to the Drome, the galaxy's newest and biggest media production facility, a whole planetoid doing nothing but churning out bad dramas, worse comedies, and even worse reality television. But when someone's murdered in mysterious circumstances (i.e., they're killed by an eighteenth-century highwayman), the authorities aren't called in, but instead Benny and Jason, ready to do what they do best… muddle through.
I enjoy Dave Stone's audio dramas more than his novellas, as though he is a decent writer, he is often a… sloppy one. I don't mean that he's careless, but that he tends to be pretty free-wheeling in terms of his stories, chucking in anything he thinks is interesting or fun. So his stories turn out to be fun in principle, but not so in practice, as they eventually wear out their welcomes. However, I think the audio format requires him to focus more: he doesn't have as much time or as many characters. So on the whole, The Worst Thing in the World and The Green-Eyed Monsters are more enjoyable than, say, his contributions to A Life in Pieces and Parallel Lives.
That said, they're never quite disciplined enough. The Worst Thing in the World is almost exactly an hour long, but it takes over ten minutes before Benny even hears about the plot. The story is peppered with recreations of Drome television programmes going wrong, which range from entertaining to downright hilarious, but you get the idea pretty quickly, and begin to be anxious for the plot to re-emerge whenever one is employed. There's also some unusually long music (by the usually dependable David Darlington) linking scenes together. In terms of things actually happening, there's precious little going on in The Worst Thing in the World.
Which is a shame, as there are some great ideas in the story. The idea of the Drome might not be terribly original, but what Stone uses it to say about stories, about authorial intervention, about narrative, about the singularity, that's all quite interesting. But unfortunately, to have something interesting to say doesn't make for good fiction necessarily, and The Worst Thing in the World doesn't really do anything interesting with its interesting ideas. It's all a bit disappointing to realise who the villain of the piece is.
That ending, though… that ending. That, I'll admit, is a work of genius. I had it spoiled, but I still loved it — I'm sure it'll be even better if you don't know what's going to happen. This might be a middling, stretched-out story, but I'm pretty sure it's all there to just set up the climax, so maybe that's okay.
The Worst Thing in the World (by Dave Stone; starring Lisa Bowerman) was released by Big Finish Productions in September 2006.

National Gallery Catalogues: The Sixteenth Century Netherlandish Paintings with French Paintings before 1600
By Lorne Campbell
London: National Gallery Company, distributed by Yale University Press, 2014. 2 vols. 856 pp, 700 color and 175 b&w illus. ISBN 978-1-85709-370-4
Review published April 2015
Surely for scholars the most important contribution that a museum curator can provide is a systematic catalogue of the paintings in the permanent collection, the more so in a major collection. Thus the welcome news that Lorne Campbell has completed his long-awaited catalogue of sixteenth-century Netherlandish (and early French) paintings in the National Gallery, London, offers a milestone in scholarship of Early Netherlandish painting. All scholars are already indebted to Campbell for his career-long scholarship on fifteenth-century paintings, particularly of Jan van Eyck, and his earlier London catalogue of the fifteenth-century Netherlandish panels (1998) remains exemplary. Users of this massive, two-volume tome will find the same meticulous attention to details of provenance, technical issues (where the National Gallery has long been a leader in both research and publication), and attribution and dating problems. These investigations are buttressed by clear and generous images of photomicrographs and details, of x-radiographs and infrared reflectograms, and of comparative images. Campbell, of course, needs no introduction to HNA readers. Formerly George Beaumont Senior Research Curator at the National Gallery, he also authored the 1985 catalogue of early Flemish paintings in the Queen's Collection. So this publication culminates his career-long researches.
To give one example of the catalogue entries, I choose a painting where my own early work is engaged (and here I want to recant a lesser opinion of the work): the mid-career Crucifixion by Quinten Massys (NG 715, pp. 432-40). The advances in technical investigation since the early 1970s, when I first examined the painting, have revealed many new facts; for example, one board of the picture stems from the same tree as London's "Ugly Duchess" by Massys (though that work is undated and Campbell rather mechanically assigns it to his presumed date around 1513; he might do well to compare it also to the Coimbra triptych figures, not mentioned). Many more changes are visible in infrared light, such as the right arm and fingers of Christ on the cross. Though earlier monographs on artists harshly treated any participation by lesser hands in a work, today we realize that most significant painters had large workshops, and this Massys painting has both superb figures beneath the cross together with other figures who are repeated in other Massys works, notably Ottawa's Crucifixion (fig. 12, which I judged then as better and consigned this panel as a "variant"). After careful technical analysis (ten figs.) and description, Campbell rigorously surveys its history of attributions, even before Waagen, before concluding (with me, especially now) that "both NG 715 and the Ottawa Crucifixion appear to be largely by Quinten himself." Then he goes on to discuss another Massys image for Damião de Góis, Portuguese humanist in Antwerp, who wrote Latin poems, given here in translation, to his lost painting.
Not all pictures are quite as significant, but the Ugly Duchess by Massys also gets full treatment by Campbell (NG 5769, 446-63; previewed in London's recent catalogue, Renaissance Faces, 2008, 228-31, no. 70). Here he even quotes from unpublished Reis-Santos notes to Martin Davies about the new-found pendant, which I later published in the 1970s and which he paired with the London bust in the same exhibition (2008, no. 71). With his usual care, Campbell lists numerous related drawings (the most famous is by Leonardo, preserved in a studio replica), prints, and copies or versions of the image, even noting John Tenniel's use of the National Gallery work for his "Ugly Duchess" (whose name clings to the panel) from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865; figs. 8-9). He notes that much modeling is painted wet-in-wet and feathered (figs. 12, 14), with evident underdrawing, and microphotographs suggest different working methods for patterns on each horn. Campbell lingers on the question of the identity of the old woman, assuming that this is a portrait, and he rightly notes her archaic costume as well as that of her pendant male, quite close to Burgundian fashions. He also worries about her physical condition, identifying her deformities as stemming from Paget's disease. To me, both assumptions are questionable, especially given the close use of a Leonardo grotesque head as a model, which Campbell denies ultimately (460), opting for the claim (for an artist not known from any extant drawings) that Massys might have even exchanged drawings with Leonardo but also that "any resemblance between the Windsor drawings . . . and other grotesque heads by Leonardo himself may be dismissed as coincidental." At least all the evidence is here, a tribute to Campbell's thorough scrupulousness.
Of course, the National Gallery has many fabulous paintings by other artists. Massys has been singled out for personal reasons (five other pictures by the artist are also discussed, and one work by a follower appears close to the Master of the Morrison Triptych group), but also because Campbell argues radically for less of a relationship concerning Leonardo da Vinci. An inventory of other highlights will show the value of this essential catalogue, whose artists' biographies alone are up-to-date standards of received wisdom. Joachim Beuckelaer, for example, receives a biography (92-102) that includes a generously illustrated roster of paintings (with references), a chronology, discussion of supports and working procedures, and overview of patrons and collectors. Then follows the large quartet of canvases, The Four Elements (1570; pp. 103-37), with fully 55 images of comparisons and details.
The hits keep coming: Bosch's Christ Mocked (144-61); Bruegel's Adoration of the Magi (176-97, incorporating (191) the revised date of 1563 for the Winterthur Adoration in the Snow as well as a full history of the painting); and Patinir's St. Jerome (610-18; as "Workshop," with comparisons). Marinus van Reymerswaele's Two Tax Gatherers gets an extensive write-up (648-60) and comparison to its prototype in the Louvre, already discussed in an excellent National Gallery Technical Bulletin (2003), although there is no mention of the Massys model for the work, now in the Liechtenstein collection (I plan to publish this work shortly in the JHNA). Even the anonymous masters are fascinating in London, especially the Master of the Female Half-Lengths (508-25) and Master of 1518 (550-61).
Five varied portraits (still isolated from any pendants) by "Jean Gossart" as well as his Virgin and Child (with comparisons to three other versions) and the incomparable Adoration of the Magi, whose entry (352-83, with 47 figs.) forms a highlight of the catalogue. There Gossart's two signatures preclude issues of attribution, but Campbell discusses "the theory of a 'prestige collaboration' between Gossart and Gerard David, and attends carefully to the genesis of the composition in Dürer prints and Hugo van der Goes paintings. He hedges on questions of dating, opting for "between 1506 and 1516," but (as published earlier in The Burlington Magazine) Campbell has sleuthed out the noble patron, Daniel van Boechout.
Here Campbell is at his best – an unmatched archivist-cum-detective whose studies of provenance and patronage remain lasting contributions. As curator in London he has also mastered and partnered with conservation masters of cutting-edge laboratory investigation of paintings. He generously credits other curators and conservators who have contributed to his entries, and footnotes offer a clear trail for another scholar to follow to his sources.
The understudied province of early French paintings rounds out the catalogue with a coda, and here too the roster is significant and representative. Standout fifteenth-century works by Jean Hey (his Joachim and Anna at the Golden Gate, linked to a Chicago painting by Martha Wolff in her recent collection catalogue; 754-67) and the name work by the Master of Saint Giles (777-807), with its vivid evocation of a church interior in the Mass of St. Giles, are given detailed entries.
With this tome Lorne Campbell has left us who study Netherlandish art (and who for years have had to content ourselves with the laconic and unillustrated Martin Davies catalogue of a half-century ago) a lasting legacy. Both the National Gallery and the wider scholarly community have been well served by his long-term labours.

Spread Footings Definition - What does it Mean in Construction?
What does Spread Footings Mean?
The term spread footings, refers to the distribution of structural loads that bear down on a concrete footing. The spread footing is a structurally designed combination of reinforcing steel and concrete. This design will allow the load placed on the footing to be distributed throughout the square footage of the entire spread footing. Therefore, if a one foot square column is bearing down on the center of a four by four spread footing, the actual weight distribution of the one foot square column is now spread over sixteen square feet. This distribution of the load will reduce the overall load on the soils below the spread footing from the one foot column load to a sixteenth of this load, due to the added square footage of the spread footing. The lower the bearing capacity of the soil, the larger the spread footings must be designed to accommodate the load. If the distribution of the load results in spread footings that are too large and too unstable, the use of piles or other means of foundation support will need to be evaluated.


You contradict yourself so much, it's difficult to know whether you're being sarcastic/ironic or you're just a fool.
Read what my response refers to. I'll give you a hint, it wasn't the Hanson cross.
I should know but please explain the difference?

Irish Soccer Referees' Society
In a game that is often fraught with controversial refereeing decisions, it will probably come as no surprise that such a decision brought about the birth of the Irish Soccer Referees' Society.
On an afternoon in 1959, Shamrock Rovers played Sligo Rovers at Milltown and during the course of the game a "controversial" incident occurred. No doubt many spectators turned to their neighbours to ask, "What did you think of that?" One particular question led to a conversation, as the neighbours were the late Jack O'Byrne and Ignatius Martin, who were both referees. This conversation sparked off an idea in Jack's mind that great benefit would be derived from regular meetings between referees. Thus, in November 1959, seven men responded to a letter to the newspapers to attend a meeting at 321 Crumlin Road, where a "Referees' Debating Society" was formed. The word "Debating" was subsequently dropped.
The need for such a Society was evident in the number, who clamoured to join, and in a very short time, larger accommodation was needed and on a "quid pro quo" basis, Football Promotions at 94A Upper Dorset Street arranged this. Successive homes were at North Frederick Street, 16 Parnell Square, 3 St. Stephen's Green.
In the early days the Society was Dublin-based and its first President was Brendan Torsney a very prominent referee who upon retirement became a Referee Inspector. John Igoe, to whom the credit for the design of our crest must be given, succeeded him.
In 1961 the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) granted official recognition of the Society and in that same year, the Society became an overseas member of the Referees' Association. That latter connection has since been severed.
The Dublin Referees were not the only ones who saw the need for organisation and in many parts of the country, notably Kilkenny, Waterford, Cork and Limerick, referees were coming together. The first union of Branches took place in 1964 when Kilkenny joined with Dublin in efforts to form a national Society. In 1965 the first Executive Committee (now called the Council) was elected and the first national President was John Waldron of Waterford, who is now a Referee Inspector in that area. The current President is Tony Lawlor from Dublin.
Thus, from an initial gathering of seven, the Society has grown to having over 700 members and 21 branches. Today there is a strong and vibrant Council running the affairs of the Society and the Council meets four or five times a year. The meetings rotate between the branches with most being held in Dublin.
In the course of its growth, the Society has not neglected the social side of affairs and down through the years many bruising encounters have taken place on the field in annual inter-branch matches.
One of the first social get-togethers was held in the CIE Club in Inchicore in 1960 where for 6s. 6d. (32p) a first-class spread was provided, and for this price there was also a band that kept everyone on their feet until "the small hours".
Moran's Hotel was the venue for the inaugural dinner-dance in April 1962 and this venture proved to be such a success that within a short time the Referees' Dinner became "The" dinner in football. For many years this event was known as "The Eve of the Cup Final" dinner as its primary aim was to honour the FAI Senior Cup Final match officials. In more recent years the date of the dinner has been changed as now awards are also made to a team of officials from the ranks of the members in Junior football.
As referees we are concerned for the welfare of players on the field of play, so too our off-the-field activities reflected our concern for the welfare of those less fortunate than ourselves. For many years it was our custom to provide toys and eggs for the children in one of the orphanages in our city at Christmas and Easter, respectively.
Many years ago the organisers of the St. Patrick's Day Parade asked the branch to provide stewards en route. We have also been involved in stewarding at International matches and FAI Cup Finals both in Dalymount Park and Lansdowne Road.
The performance of our members on the field of play and at home has so often impressed the inspectors that with the advent of European Club football many of our members have had the call to "do international duty" and our first "export" was "Pip" Meighan who officiated at Wembley.
In the area of international schools' competition the branch has had a unique achievement in that a member has officiated in the final of four successive tournaments. Tom Smith in Turkey 1975; Willie Attley in Dublin1977; Tom Hand in Spain in 1979, and Aidan Gallagher in Sweden in 1981. We have also had the first lady referee to be registered by the FAI – Alice Prendergast.
Little did either Jack or Iggy realise the far-reaching consequences of that casual question at Milltown all those years ago and how we have grown from such humble beginnings.

At Mr. Rekey, we make it easy for you. So, we went ahead and redid some elements of our website to improve our customer's experience. The biggest change we've made is to our online order form. We've simplified it down to a 3-step process for both new and existing customers.
Looks pretty simple doesn't it? Now we just ask when you need service, where you need service, and who is requesting service. To schedule when you need service, simply enter the date (excluding Sundays and certain major holidays), the time that best suits your needs and click next. It's that simple!
Scheduling service has never been easier!
Next, you'll be directed to enter where you need service. Enter the address and any special information like gate codes, lockbox combos, or anything else you may think is important for our technicians. Forgot something? No worries, our form will let you know if you've missed something and prompt you to fill in the appropriate field in order to move forward.
Made an error? No problem! Our system will direct you to fix any incomplete information.
After you enter where you need service, we'll ask a little about who you are. If you're an existing customer on file, all you have to do is enter your information and click, "Finish." That's it! You'll receive a confirmation e-mail, and you can just sit back and relax with the peace of mind that your service has been ordered. If you're a new customer, the form will also request where you heard about Mr. Rekey and a billing address. If the billing address is the same as your service address, simply click the button, and it will automatically populate the remaining fields. Click "Finish," and you're done!
Existing customers only need fill out this section.
Here are the additional fields for new customers.
Once you've clicked "Finish," you'll see the following screen. If you need to put in another request, click the link at the top of the form to start over. Once your order is complete, you'll also receive confirmation via e-mail.
Our awesome new order confirmation page!
And one more thing…you can even use the new order form on your smartphone, and order service on the go!
We really feel like our new order online form is a huge improvement over our old one. The team here at Mr. Rekey is working hard every day to make it easy for you, and we hope this new order form does just that.
How do you like the form? Is there anything you feel we can do to improve our ordering process?

This month has been nothing short of crazy and its only the 10th! I feel like all of 2018 has been crazy but I guess that's just what happens when you have so many things you are working towards. You just start getting distracted by your distraction of a another distraction.
I kid you not I went to look for my charger, walked into my bedroom and saw my shoe in my bed (thank gawd for dogs am I right) and in the middle of trying to put my shoe up someone messaged me about my business. Well I do want any normal human does and responds back and leaves the room forgetting what they came in there for in the first place. Once I realized I was looking for my charger because my phone died on me in the middle of that text I realized how scatter brained I really was. Whats even funnier to me is that looking back on the past couple of days, my entire week was lived in distractions caused by other distractions.
With how my week is going, I thought it was only appropriate that I share my top 5 distractions with you. For the first distraction, I would say other distractions are my distraction but that doesn't exactly give you a real idea of what my distractions are.
Sooo, my number one distraction has to be any form of text message, group message, GroupMe or some other nonsense. I am an RA at my university and so I am constantly being texted about one thing or another and it is part of my job description to reply in a timely manner. I also run a couple businesses off my phone and so I am quite literally always on my phone doing one thing or another and its hardly ever just for fun, not that I really mind.
My second distraction would be Poshmark. I sell a lot of items on Poshmark for myself and others. If I have any free second like standing in line for food or at the bank I will share as many items as I can in that time so that they hopefully sell faster. I am also always getting notifications about people liking or commenting on an item so if have to respond to the questions in the comments. I have 2 full storage boxes worth of clothes in my closet to sell and I just want them gone. With that said, if you are in the market for any clothes, here is my Poshmark! I am always open to offers so just let me know.
My third distraction is Instagram, I am working to try and grow my Instagram because I am hoping it can help to bring more traffic to my blog as that is one of my goals this year! I often start checking out what other girls who are in my business are posting and then I'll get distracted by people comments. I'll end up spending a good 20 minutes just checking out people's profiles in the comments and then realize the whole reason I got on there in the first place was A to post a picture (wow shocker) or B, to respond to ta DM.
Before I tell you what the fourth distraction is, I am fully aware that this is fixable, but I am distracted by the messes in my apartment. Like today I was just trying to get my shoes to go to the post office and in the 5 steps it takes to get around my apartment I found myself organizing all of the papers I left on my ottoman from studying last night. It is moments like these that make me believe the people that say a clear space means a clear mind. I also seem to have the hardest tome keeping my place clean because everything doesn't have a space and in the midst of trying to create a space I wind up making a mess to fix the mess, genius!
My fifth and forever distraction would have to be my dog. He can do something as simple as just look at me in a cute way and I'm goner. He is such a time waster but in the best way possible because its pretty much impossible to be mad when you are petting and kissing a fluffy golden retriever that only wants to make you happy. He also is such a little time-wasting turd when it comes to taking him out to go potty because all he wants to do is go run around and play for hours which unfortunately doesn't fit in my schedule.
I hope you can at least somewhat relate to my top 5 distractions. I could probably make a top 50 distractions list but I would get distracted writing my distraction list.
I hope you are having an amazing week!
I totally get this! The phone is a huge distraction for me, and most of the time it's for blogging stuff. It's like a catch-22!
totally relate to all of these, honestly i'll just be busy cooking or cleaning and my dog will look the cutest shes ever done and im distracted for 20 mins!!!


Our on-screen activities can really help children master Year 1 addition. Adding two small numbers, making ten and adding three small numbers are all available using colourful lively displays requiring children to input answers on the screen. Printable marked answer sheets are available at the end of each set together with on-screen rewards for all correct answers. There are pictorial representations, bar models and number lines to give support where needed.
You will need the Flash Player to view and use all the following activities for Year 1 Addition.
For those not too confident with addition why not start with our revise addition games for year 1? To begin with we use pictures to help with counting on. Then we move on to addition games with number lines, all the time emphasising the vocabulary of addition. Each addition game has 10 questions and the answer sheet at the end can be printed, to show just how well your child has done!
It's time for some of those number facts to be known off by heart and what better way to learn them than by having a go at our fun addition fact games for year 1. Starting with knowing addition facts to 5, then pairs that make 8 and 10, this leads to addition fact games asking how many more to make 8 and 10?
How Many More To Make 8?
How Many More to Make 10?
This is where the real learning takes place in Year 1. Plenty of addition skills here, including crossing the tens boundary when adding, finding numbers to make 10 and adding to numbers in the teens.


We are still in the Eclipse Wormhole of Rapid Change and only 12 days from the last Eclipse of this cycle, a Solar Eclipse at 18:42 Leo.
We are still dealing with our shadow side of Pluto Opposing the 1st Eclipse. Pluto will be Quincunx th Aug 11 Eclipse too.
There are 5 Planets and Chiron Retrograde at the moment. That is a LOT of looking back energy. As of Aug 7 we will have 6 Planets and Chiron Retrograde!! Its a weird time. This is a great time to realize that time is NOT Linear!
At 3:35pm (EDST) on Monday Mercury Rx at 22:34 Leo Semi-Sextiles Venus at 22:34 Virgo.
Mercury is on the degree where he was on a week ago. He was unaspected at that time so you may or may not have said, heard or wrote something that is now being revised. Venus is leading the pack of Personal Planets through the Signs and so we are seeing what we desire that won't manifest for a bit down the road. But Mercury is still revising our plans and ideas around fun, romance, creativity and children. Venus is being of service and keep close account of expenditures. Here they are working productively together.
At 8:29pm the Sun at 7:47 Leo Semi-Squares Venus at 22:47 Virgo.
A minor irritation as we are trying to accomplish our goals for fun, romance, creativity and children-centered activities while Venus is being a bit prudish with her desires. We want to be of service somewhere, or we are keeping an eye on all the details, but we are looking at how much fun we can still have before school starts again or before summer ends.
Saturn Rx is tightening the Square orb with Chiron Rx and a Trine to Uranus who is Stationing to Retrograde on Aug 7 at 2:34 Taurus. This is an easy change to the status quo, but some potential let-down in our confidence in achieving some career initiatives. We may be able to find ways to acquire resources, but not to get that promotion that we are working towards, at least YET.
Mars Rx is applying to Square Uranus and Sextile Chiron Rx. Squares from Mars to Uranus can create 'accidents' and other types of revelation like an apple falling on Newton's head (Mars/Aries rules the head). He is, at least, working productively with Chiron in his own Sign and offering some revelation to manage any insecurities.
There is a LOT of Fixed Energies across the Zodiac right now. Though Jupiter and Psyche in Scorpio are out of orb of an Opposition to Uranus in Taurus, they are Square to the Sun at 7 Leo right now and Mars and Uranus are Square in the other 2 Fixed Energy Signs. The 2 Higher Mind Planets, Jupiter and Uranus, are bringing out changed desires to align with a more ethical approach to intimacy and shared resources. The Sun and Mars across the axis of being your own star and merging with groups is aligned with the current Eclipse energies and bringing up ways to balance these 2 Opposing drives.
Uranus is still in orb of a Semi-Square to Neptune though it is separating. This is some friction between our changed desires and our sense of 'oneness' or subconscious fears.

"Jobless youth" move onto Khayelitsha land
"We want our own place where we can live in peace"
30 January 2018 | By Vincent Lali News

Hundreds of homeless residents have cleared municipal land and built about 240 shacks in Zwelitsha, Khayelitsha.
Community leader Lelethu Gwanya said the residents had occupied the land because they had no place to stay.
"Most of us are jobless youth who can't afford to pay rent," she said.
Gwanya, who lived with her sister who is married with three kids, said she had moved onto the municipal land because she wanted her own place. She also said the clearing of the land would help to reduce crime in Zwelitsha. "Every morning thugs rob residents as they make their way to work, burgle nearby shacks and hide in these bushes with their stolen goods," she said. "In December last year, criminals raped and murdered a toddler before dumping her body here. Zwelitsha will be much safer when residents remove the bushes and stay here."
Nana Zeka, 25, who was renting a shack with five children and her 36-year-old sister, said her landlord had told her last Thursday to vacate the place because she had sold it.
Over the weekend, said Zeka, she had moved with her sister and children to Makhaza and rented another shack. But, she said, the family was "running into trouble".
"Other backyarders living in the same yard complain that we overuse electricity because we are too many," she said. "Now we want our own place where we won't pay rent and where we can live in peace."
Ntombozuko Mfeketho, 43, said she had moved onto the land because she had no money for rent.
"I use my kid's grant to pay rent, but I'm supposed to use it to take him to school and buy him clothes and food," she said. She sells second-hand clothes from time to time to make a living.
"I move from one shack to another because landlords chuck me out when they realise that I don't have money to pay rent at the end of the month. Now I'm tired of renting," said Mfeketho.

Yamkela Bhafu, 21, said he did not have a steady job and battled to pay rent at month end. "I survive on short contracts to work as a general worker in Cape Town. When the contract ends, I struggle to pay rent and buy electricity," he said.
When he has no money for electricity, his landlord disconnects his plugs, which prevents him from cooking, said Bhafu.
He pays R500 for rent and R100 for electricity monthly. Bhafu said he believed that his life would be better if he had his own place.
Khangelani Bhoma, 25, said he had lost his job in November. "My landlord told me to leave after I failed to pay rent at the end of December," he said.
Councillor Anda Ntsodo, Mayoral Committee member for Area East, confirmed that the land belonged to the City of Cape Town. "The City will take appropriate action to address the situation," he said.

Consequences of internal migration
The plight of these young people cannot be ignored. They are the future. They are in effect experiencing the unintended consequences of internal migration in an effort to avoid poverty.
There is no way any country can deal with the huge numbers of people arriving in our major cities over a short period of time. There is simply no planning to meet these massive numbers arriving daily. No one has any idea of the size and complexity of the issue. Over population in South Africa is fast becoming a real test for any government, regardless of their ideology. These young people are just a small reflection of the size of the problem.
The situation is worsened by corruption and wastage of funds through mismanagement and incompetence and it's not going to go away soon.

The health benefits of yoga are widespread and have been documented in medical literature especially when it comes to its effects on stress, mood, and musculoskeletal issues such chronic back pain. This study from India, however, looks at yoga's benefits on blood sugar and diabetes, an under-appreciated effect of a regular yoga practice.
The study's aim was to assess the benefits of a yoga practice on the blood sugar levels of those with diabetes type II, as well as its benefits on blood sugar levels on those without diabetes.
The study, which was conducted over 2 years, followed 60 male volunteers over a 2 year period: 30 of them with diabetes and 30 without diabetes and all of whom received yoga training and then practiced yoga daily under supervision for 6 months.
The yoga practice was practiced in the morning before breakfast, and each session was less than an hour each time, consisting of prayer, breath work, recitation, and various asanas/poses.
The blood sugar levels (both fasting and after-meal levels) of the participants were taken before their yoga "intervention," during their yoga training (at 3 months), and after their yoga training (at 6 months).
Out of the 60 initial participants, only 6 did not complete the daily yoga practice for 6 months; these participants were excluded from the final analysis.
The results showed a reduction in blood sugar levels that was statistically significant for the diabetic group but not statistically significant for the control group after just 3 months of yoga practice.
After 6 months of yoga practice, this blood sugar level reduction was statistically significant for both groups, and fasting blood sugar levels for the diabetic group dropped an average of 13 points as when compared to their levels prior to yoga!
While this study is a small one, it did support yoga as a powerful intervention for treatment of type II diabetes as well as prevention of disease progression, given the statistically significant large reduction in blood sugar in the diabetic patients with yoga practice, a reduction that widened with more time engaged in the practice!
There is a reason why yoga is one of the foundational aspects of my holistic medical practice. As a physician who received yoga teacher training, I prescribe individualized yoga regimens for people as part of my practice and I do so because believe its healing potential to be extraordinary. I have witnessed this not just in my life personally but in the lives of so many of the clients and patients with whom I work. I have been practicing yoga for over 25 years and for me, yoga was instrumental before even any dietary changes were made in helping heal my chronic and fairly severe asthma. Moving through the poses of my yoga asana practice, syncing my breath with the movements increased my awareness greatly of my respirations and helped me have much better control over my breathing. For anyone who has experienced an asthma attack, you know how important it is to feel that sense of control over breathing. I have seen yoga be transformational for my patients and clients, and their clinical issues range from inflammatory bowel syndrome to hormonal imbalances to hypercholesterolemia to diabetes. And I believe it's just a matter of time before there are a plethora of great studies supporting yoga's incredible beneficial healing power in multiple medical conditions. In the meantime, thankfully, most people are not waiting, to get their yoga "on".
I invite you to perhaps stop out of your comfort zone and try yoga or a new style of yoga for you this week. Here is a link to a poemdance called Try Not To be Scared. Please enjoy!
