F is for the Fifteen Mile, Fromelles and Fleurbaix
Posted on 6 April, 2012 by cassmob
I am participating in the A to Z 2012 blog challenge throughout April. My theme is a genealogical travelogue or a travel genealogue (I'm not sure which).
F is for the Fifteen Mile (Queensland)
The Fifteen Mile in Queensland would be unknown to most people except locals. Part way up the road between Murphys Creek and the Crows Nest road, it is mostly scrubby bush with little apparent activity. You can get a sense of its geography by clicking here. You can see that in amongst the trees and scrub, there is a cleared semi-valley and a smattering of buildings. This inconspicuous spot is where my 2xgreat grandparents Kunkel selected their land in 1874, paying it off over five years until the total £19/5/- was reached[i]. They had very nearly lost out on the land in a bureaucratic glitch when George Kunkel filed his claim in the Ipswich Lands office while Mr Pechey filed his in Toowoomba. By the time their land purchase was finalised in 1879, they had ringbarked 154 acres, cleared two acres and cultivated it with maize, stocked the land with cattle branded GK9, and a four room house had been built and was occupied by the "selector's wife and family" while George himself was earning cash on the railways.

Early land maps[ii] of the area from the Queensland State Archives, revealed the settlers who lived in the area. I was struck by the correlation of the names with some of those I knew had emigrated from Dorfprozelten. Further research proved this to be a small settlement of former Dorfprozelten people and their descendants. I doubt it was a deliberate ploy to settle together, rather that the land became available when they were eligible and they had saved some money. It was also not a well known area, but more likely to be known to those who had worked on the railway line through Murphys Creek.
George Kunkel had been clever in his selection of land because the creek ran below his property (you can see it if you enlarge the map – a snake like curve marks his boundary) but stepped down from his buildings. This gave him natural irrigation for his fruit orchards and grape vines. In recent decades the creek had dried up in the drought and bush fires were a very real hazard. However the drastic January 2011 floods affected the Fifteen Mile in a way I hadn't fully understood until we drove through in July last year. I couldn't believe my eyes to see trees up in trees and debris scattered high up the creek banks.

This small community gathered with those close by to play tennis and hold dances in the Horrocks's barn, and shared their excess produce[iii]. Few people live in the area now and the names of old are gone: Horrocks, McLean, Stack, Jerrard, Zoller, Bodmann, Ganzer, Kunkel.
F is for Fromelles and Fleurbaix (France)
Rue Petillon cemetery, Fleurbaix.
Last year on the 95th anniversary of the Battle of Fromelles I wrote about my grandfather's cousin, James Augustus Gavin. James was also the grandson of Denis and Ellen Gavin who you've met in the "D is for…" post ( I think they're following me at present). Fromelles is also a pivotal battle for my husband's great uncle. Despite participating in Gallipoli, it was the Battle of Fromelles which destabilised him with the shock of the huge losses of his men. I won't go into more detail here but if you have time, please read a little more about this fierce battle in which 5533 Australian soldiers lost their lives or were wounded or missing.

In recent years DNA sampling has been used to identify Australian Diggers (soldiers) buried in mass graves after the Battle of Fromelles…an amazing and sobering use of modern technology to bring closure to families, and allow these soldiers to be laid to rest under a named gravestone, no longer missing.
Our James Gavin was fortunate in a sense (if you can say that) in as much as he died early in the battle, perhaps even before it officially commenced. Consequently he was laid to rest in a known grave in the Rue Petillon cemetery at Fleurbaix (about 5kms from Amentieres). In November 1992, my husband and I made a pilgrimage to see his grave, and that of another of my grandfather's cousins (James Paterson) at Villers Brettoneux.

The cemetery at Fleurbaix is so peaceful, set amidst French farm land. As we parked the car, a local farmer gave us a nod of acknowledgement…they take their debt of loyalty quite seriously, it seems to me. All was tranquil with birds singing and the distant sound of farm machinery. Farm buildings lie across the road and beside the cemetery. If you must die at war, then surely this is a place where you can truly lie at peace.
Across the road, the agricultural fields gave a clue of just how difficult it would have been to fight in those conditions at any time, let alone as winter approached. The deep plough furrows showed just how clay-y and sludgey the soil was as it took on water. I couldn't begin to truly imagine what it would be like to try to advance the German front line in those conditions.
We were pleased to be able to pay our respects to a distant family member, and indirectly to my husband's relative, Lt Col WEH Cass. Since 1992 I've learned a lot about Fromelles, a battle that had long been overshadowed by Gallipoli. If I was to do a battle field tour, it would be to the Western Front, I think, rather than Gallipoli, and definitely not on Armistice Day or Anzac Day so I can have time and peace to reflect on all that happened.

Opinion|Why Does Donald Trump Lie About Voter Fraud?
Why Does Donald Trump Lie About Voter Fraud?
CreditCreditRoman Muradov
The long-running Republican war against the right to vote has now gone national at the instigation of President-elect Donald Trump, who has promoted the lie that millions of illegal votes were cast in the presidential election.
There is not a scintilla of evidence for this claim, and Mr. Trump's own lawyers have admitted as much, stating in a court filing opposing a recount in Michigan that "all available evidence suggests that the 2016 general election was not tainted by fraud or mistake."
Yet one after the next, leading Republicans are spreading this slander of American democracy, smoothing the way to restrict voting rights across the country.
On Sunday, Vice President-elect Mike Pence told ABC's George Stephanopoulos that it was Mr. Trump's "right to express his opinion as president-elect." When pushed to admit that the illegal-voting claim was not true, Mr. Pence shifted the burden of proof away from Mr. Trump, even though Mr. Trump has accused millions of Americans of committing a crime. "Look," Mr. Pence said, "I don't know that that's a false statement, George, and neither do you."
Paul Ryan, speaker of the House, told CBS's "60 Minutes," "I have no knowledge of such things," before defending Mr. Trump's claims as "giving voice to a lot of people who have felt that they were voiceless." (As recently as October, Mr. Ryan's spokeswoman noted that "our democracy relies on confidence in election results" and that Mr. Ryan was "fully confident the states will carry out this election with integrity.")
Reince Priebus, currently the chairman of the Republican National Committee and Mr. Trump's pick for chief of staff, told CBS's John Dickerson that "no one really knows" if millions of people voted illegally. "It's possible." It's equally true that no one really knows for sure that Reince Priebus wasn't snatched away and replaced with a doppelgänger hatched by aliens — it's possible, isn't it?
This is how voter suppression efforts start. First come the unverified tales of fraud; then come the urgent calls to tighten voter registration rules and increase "ballot security," which translate into laws that disenfranchise tens or hundreds of thousands of qualified voters.
That's already happened in Wisconsin and North Carolina, in Ohio and Texas, where Republican lawmakers pushed through bills requiring voter IDs or proof of citizenship; eliminating early-voting days and same-day registration; and imposing other measures. Virtually all these laws aimed at making voting harder for citizens who happen to be members of groups that tend to support Democrats.
While federal courts have struck down some of these laws, more keep popping up. In Michigan, lawmakers are pushing to fast-track a voter-ID requirement even though there was no evidence of voter impersonation there. In New Hampshire, the incoming governor, Chris Sununu, wants to do away with same-day registration, also despite the lack of any evidence that it resulted in fraud.
Reality is beside the point. Dallas Woodhouse, the executive director of the North Carolina Republican Party, recently told The New Republic, "Whether there's widespread voter fraud or not, the people believe there is." It doesn't seem to matter to G.O.P. leaders that election officials around the country of both parties have confirmed that there was no fraud on Election Day. What matters to them, as strategists have long known, is that Republicans do better when fewer people vote.
Under a Trump administration, anti-voter efforts could become national in scope — through congressional legislation, a hostile Justice Department or a Supreme Court nominee with little regard for voting rights.
Undermining the integrity of the electoral process and making it harder to vote is threatening to all Americans, regardless of party. The cynical Republicans now in power figure that all they have to do is fool the public long enough to win the next election. It's outrageous, but it's hard to see why they would stop when lying has gotten them this far.

Planning for what happens when you die: all the things you should think about as a trans person
The sobering reality of life as a trans or non-binary person is that, whilst public attitudes are generally becoming more accepting of trans people, discrimination, hate crime and violence are still prevalent. Galop, the UK's LGBT+ anti-abuse charity, reported that in the previous 12 months 4 in 5 respondents had experienced a form of transphobic hate crime, and 7 in 10 respondents said that transphobia had had an impact on their mental health.
Trans and non-binary people often have to fight hard for their identities to be acknowledged by others during their lifetime, and this becomes an altogether more challenging prospect after death. In order to ensure that your identity and legacy is respected as far as legally possible after death, there are a number of steps that you can take.
Legal name change
The Birth and Deaths Registration Act 1953, and accompanying regulations, require whoever notifies the registrar of your death to provide specific information about you. In order to be eligible to notify the registrar the person must show that they are a "qualified informant". Broadly speaking priority is given to relatives, though if none meet the requirements it is possible for someone else, such as a person present at the death or responsible for funeral arrangements, to notify the registrar instead.
The registrar will require details of your name for the death certificate. The 1953 Act itself does not specify that this has to be your legal name, but it would be prudent to ensure that your legal name reflects the name you wish to be known by to avoid difficulties. Qualified informants are under a duty to provide accurate information to the registrar, so if the informant is aware that your preferred name and legal name do not match then this creates uncertainty around the name that should be used on the death certificate. It is highly unlikely that a registrar would refuse to accept a legal name on a certificate, as opposed to a preferred name or "nickname", so this helps to ensure that your desired name is used regardless of whether the eventual qualified informant is supportive of your transition.

Gender Recognition Certificate
In order for your sex to be recorded on your death certificate as your "preferred" legal sex (male or female – non-binary is not currently an option under UK law), rather than your sex assigned at birth, it is necessary to obtain a Gender Recognition Certificate. Sadly there have been numerous cases of trans people whose death certificates record their new legal name and their original sex because they did not have a Gender Recognition Certificate at the time of their death. It is not clear whether the Gender Recognition Panel will grant certificates posthumously to facilitate death registration in the deceased's preferred legal gender.

Wills are a mechanism for distributing your property after you die, but they can also be a useful method of expressing your wishes about what you would like to happen following your death. It is common for people to specify funeral wishes in their wills, and you can set out how you would like any funeral service to be conducted. You can also address what should happen to your social media accounts and any other issues which might be important to you about how your legacy should be celebrated and remembered.
It is also possible to make some of the gifts in your will subject to certain conditions, though it is important to ensure that these are carefully worded so that it is clear what you are asking the recipients to do. If you are concerned that your identity and wishes might not be respected in death then you could make a legacy conditional upon these wishes being carried out, failure to do so resulting in your estate going to charity instead. However, in practical terms the best way to ensure that your trans or non-binary identity is recognised is to appoint an executor who you trust and who you can depend on to be supportive.
Find out more about how we can help with your will.
Consents to the use of stored gametes
If you have undergone fertility preservation before transitioning, it is important to make sure you have left a clear written record of what you want to happen to any stored gametes or embryos after your death. It is not possible to "gift" gametes or embryos to other people under your will, but you can expressly give consent for particular individuals to use them to have children who are biologically related to you, or you can give consent to your gametes/embryos being donated or used for research.
This consent should be carefully worded to make clear the limits of what you are giving permission for, since if there is doubt over whether you actively consented then it is unlikely that these can be used. Fertility clinics require patients to complete consent forms at the time of storing genetic material, but the forms may not give you enough opportunity to consider or record the full detail of your wishes. Your consent forms also might not be up to date if your wishes have changed.
It is important to make sure that your consents are clear, thorough and up to date. We sometimes help clients to do this as part of the process of making a will, or via a separate consent statement.

A Gaetan Spiteri goal in each half put Hamrun Spartans with Marsaxlokk, Tarxien and Floriana in second place with thirteen points from eight games in the BOV Premier League standings, while Vittoriosa's four game unbeaten run came to an end.
Steve D'Amato started with his usual 4-3-3 formation, with Gaetan Spiteri preferred as the lone stiker supported by Ryan Fenech and Marcelo Pereira. Omar Borg marked his first appearance for Hamrun in goal instead Ivan Casha while Scottish striker Dene Shields and Rupert Mangion were ruled out of this game. Winston Muscat also opted for a 4-3-3 formation with Anthony Ewrum as the Stars' primary striker. Edison Luiz dos Santos was suspended following the red card that he picked up against Birkirkara.
13min: Omar Borg saved a close range powerful shot by Jorge Santos Silva.

A few minutes ago, I received a message on Whatsapp saying Philippine Airlines is giving away tickets as part of its anniversary celebration.
However the website is very dubious, so I checked it out on my browser. Obviously, the website is not legit. In the message, the second letter I in AIRLINES does not appear letter I.
I have reported it to the Facebook Page of PAL already and the reply tells me they have already sent it to the proper office.
Please be warned about this.


It has been sometime (close to a year or more?) that the Laman Seni has been discontinued, you know, the monthly event at the National Art Gallery car park?. I remember getting quite excited about it when it was first launched. Artists who have been trying hard to make a living finally had a place to showcase and sell their work. It was also an opportunity for artlovers to meet them and talk art in a less formal atmosphere.
But the thing that excited me most was that the event would bring some life to the National Art Gallery - whose sparse crowd, I believe was confined to school tour groups and handful of tourists. In fact, I think the days when the Laman Seni was held, the gallery had seen more visitors that it ever did after it shifted from opposite the KL Railway Station to now at Lake Titiwangsa.
In those days, when it occupied the building opposite the Railway Station, the gallery was in the tourist belt and within walking distance of the main transport hub. But when it shifted to Jalan Tun Razak, it was well out of the way - until in recent years when a bus service plied the area.
So, when Laman Seni at National Art Gallery was stopped (according to rumours, it was to allow renovation work on the gallery premises), I was keeping my fingers crossed that it would be brought back - fast. Little announcement was made at that time, and regulars who had gone to the monthly event were caught by surprise the first few months. So did a number of tourists who had gone there to check it out.
Now, I think the renovations to the gallery are almost completed. Will the Laman Seni be brought back? I really don't want to speculate. But I did wonder why the organisers decided to pull it out because of renovation work to the gallery.
Couldn't it be moved to the Istana Budaya grounds next door just to sustain the crowd interest?
To my mind, Laman Seni was something that the National Art Gallery had done right in many, many years in the promotion of art. Thr crowd were coming to the National Art Gallery too because of it.
Perhaps the organisers thought the monthly art mart had turned into somewhat of a rojak. Who can blame them, especially at the last few installments?
Amidst the cacophony of loud music, you see everything under the sun - from trinkets to secondhand books - being offered. It had the trimmings of a successful flea mart, but certainly not the making of a good arts market. But then, what can be expected if all and sundry were allowed to set up stalls?
But the lack of foresight could have led to the wisdom of hindsight by reorganising the event - by restricting participation to true artists and craftspersons. Keep out the traders plying anything that masquerades as works of art such as trinkets, Barbie doll wardrobes, fake eyelashes, and such. Send them to the flea marts, the pasar malam or the midnight bazaars.
Of course, you need not restrict the art mart to painters alone. Get the traditional craftsmen in too, such as the makers of capal, songkok, labu sayong, or even lion heads and charpoi, if you wish.
Don't just allow them to sell their goods but also get them to show how each is made. These are dying crafts few of us know about. Seeing these craftsmen at work, along with painters and other artisans is an experience of much value and what better place there is to showcase their work than at a regular, easily accessible arts mart?
In Laman Seni we have something that is gaining popularity. It can help to promote Malaysian art, artists and craftsmen. I hope someone will bring it back.
CAPAL - Traditional sandals being sold at the last Laman Seni. A craftsman making it would be more interesting, don't you think?
Works of art these trinkets, but please leave them to the pasar malam or flea market-lah.


This is a quick and easy tilapia recipe that your entire family will love. According to one online reviewer, "Love it! This is a great recipe! I've made it twice in one week."
Preheat oven 425°. Grate zest from lemons to equal 4 tsp. Cut lemons in half; squeeze juice from lemons into a measuring cup to equal 2 Tbsp. Combine panko, paprika, and 2 tsp. lemon zest in a shallow dish. Sprinkle fish with 1 tsp. salt. Dip fish in 1/4 cup melted butter; dredge in panko mixture, pressing panko to adhere. Place fish on a lightly greased rack in an aluminum foil-lined broiler pan. Drizzle remaining 2 Tbsp. melted butter over fish. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork.
Meanwhile, prepare pasta according to package directions. Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add onion, and sauté 5 to 6 minutes or until golden. Add garlic, and cook 1 minute. Add tomatoes, and cook 5 to 6 minutes or until tomato mixture begins to thicken. Stir in 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, 2 Tbsp. capers, and remaining 2 tsp. lemon zest and 1 tsp. salt; cook 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and toss with hot cooked pasta, feta cheese, and basil. Serve with fish.
perfect dinner menu.. i use oatmeal instead of panko and still is good good!
Great recipe! Very tastey! A little time consuming, but will make it again.
This is my family's favorite meal of choice. I substituted the panko with Italian seasoned breadcrumbs and was still very happy with the out come. It's simple yet elegant enough for a dinner for company. You cannot go wrong with this one!
We eat a lot of fish in our house so I'm always looking for new recipes. We liked this dish very much. The fish was crispy and the pasta was the perfect complement to it. It is going into the "Keeper" file for sure.
Fish was very good and crispy. My very picky son even loved it. I will use this recipe often.

KUALA LUMPUR: Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah (picture), Umno's most vocal dissident, yesterday fired some of his most devastating salvos in recent weeks, at one point using the word "deranged" to describe the country's leadership.
Speaking at the launch of the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS), the member of parliament for Gua Musang declared that Malaysia was a democracy only in name.
According to the Malaysian Insider, he appeared to have singled out Umno and former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad for the loss of democracy in Malaysia and thus the betrayal of what Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra, Malaysia's founding prime minister, stood for.
IDEAS is dedicated to the memory of the Tunku and its mission is to promote liberty and justice.
Razaleigh, popularly known as Ku Li, said Tunku Abdul Rahman would not recognise today's Malaysia because it had been replaced with the "cult of the great leader." Many Malaysians would recognise that as a reference to Mahathir.
"Tunku built up a system of good civil service in which ordinary citizens did not need to see so-and-so to get things done," he said. "This has been replaced by a domineering style of leadership in which what you get done depends on who you know.
"In place of the protection for ordinary citizens guaranteed by popular representation, rule of law and the checks and balances of independent institutions, we have the cult of the great leader.
Four concepts that drive IDEAS are rule of law, limited government, free markets and individual liberty. Its launching yesterday took place at Memorial Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra.

Farm lessons from China and Israel
Experts from Israel, a global leader on water management, say that till India breaks away from free power for agriculture, there is no incentive for farmers to save water
Written by Ashok Gulati
February 15, 2021 3:40:00 am
All in a low-level equilibrium trap of poverty, except a few in the northwest that have much larger holdings and are supported by huge subsidies.
If I say that Indian agriculture has the potential to double or even triple its output say in the next 15-20 years, many people will laugh it away. But the reality is that many countries have done it, and we can do it too, provided our agri-food policy framework takes a dramatic turn, from being subsidy-led to investment-driven, from being consumer-oriented to producer-oriented, and being supply-oriented to demand-driven by linking farms with factories and foreign markets, and finally, from being a business-as-usual to an innovations-centred system. At least, this is what we can learn from a comparative study of Indian, Chinese and Israeli agriculture in a just-released book 'From Food Scarcity to Surplus- Innovations in Indian, Chinese, and Israeli Agriculture' by Ashok Gulati, Yuan Zhou, Jikun Huang, Alon Tal, and Ritika Juneja (Springer Nature, 2021).
China, for instance, produces three times more agri-output than India from a smaller arable area (119 million ha vs India's 156 million ha). The average holding size in China was just 0.9 ha in 2016-18, which is even smaller than India's 1.08 ha in 2015-16. So, there is no doubt that smallholders can do wonders if they are given the right incentives, good infrastructure and research support, and right institutional framework to operate. As a result of all this, the absolute poverty headcount ratio of $1.9/day at 2011 purchasing power parity (PPP) definition was only 0.7% in China against 13.4% in India in 2015, as per World Development Indicators.
All the three countries, India, China and Israel, started off their new political journey in the late 1940s, but today China's per capita income in dollar terms is almost five times that of India, and Israel's almost 20 times higher than India. Agriculture contributes 8% of overall GDP in China vis-à-vis about 17% in India, and only 1% in Israel. Over a period of time, people have moved out of agriculture. China has about 26% of its workforce in agriculture, Israel less than 1%, and India is still stuck with 42% of its workforce in agriculture.
China, as many would know, started off its economic reforms in 1978 by taking up agriculture first. The country dismantled its commune system of landholdings and liberated agri-markets, allowing farmers to get much higher prices for their produce. As a result, during 1978-84, farmers' incomes in China increased by almost 14% per annum, more than doubling in six years! This gave political legitimacy for further reforms as masses gained, and generated demand for industrial goods, sowing the seeds of the manufacturing revolution in China, led by Town and Village Enterprises (TVEs).
In India, the 1991 reforms basically bypassed agriculture. There was only some indirect effect when tariffs on manufactured goods were reduced. But Indian agri-food policies remained more consumer-oriented with a view to 'protect the poor'. In the process, they never allowed farmers to enjoy the best prices they could get from free markets within India or abroad. Export controls, stocking limits on traders, movement restrictions, etc, all cwere effected at the hint of any price rise. The net result of all this was farmers' incomes remained low and so did those of landless agri-labourers. Today, Indian agriculture is saddled with more agri-labourers (55%) than cultivators. All in a low-level equilibrium trap of poverty, except a few in the northwest that have much larger holdings and are supported by huge subsidies.
Israel offers something unique, which the whole world has to learn. How to turn a desert to cultivate high-value crops for exports (citrus fruits, dates, olives, etc) by using every drop of water, recycling urban waste-water for agriculture, using de-salinisation of seawater, etc. Water accounting in Israel is something exemplary. Our prime minister and several states CMs have often visited Israel and brought back the same message: save water and use every drop to produce more crop. But when I talk to Israeli experts, they categorically say that until India breaks away from the policy of free power for agriculture, there would be no incentive for farmers to save water. Can we learn something from Israel on this, as my biggest worry is how we are depleting our groundwater table?
Remember the famous proverb, "we do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children". The accompanying infographics show how we are robbing the precious groundwater rights of our children. And this is alarming in a state like Punjab where almost 80% of blocks are over-exploited or critical, meaning the withdrawal of water is much more than the recharge.
As the wise man of Punjab, Prof SS Johl, often remarked, this is a disaster in the making, and business as usual scenario will lead to desertification of Punjab. The reasons are well known—paddy cultivation on more than 3 million hectares. Paddy-wheat cycle in Punjab, which was a boon at one time is increasingly becoming Punjab's bane. How did we come to this situation where we are depriving our children of Punjab's sweet groundwater? Free power, highly subsidised urea, open-ended procurement, have become a deadly cocktail, eating away the natural wealth of Punjab.
Out of the box thinking is needed to break this regressive cycle for a brighter future for Punjab and our children. It is a hard nut to crack, but it is very much possible provided our policymakers have a 5-7 year vision to transform this belt into a belt of high-value fruits, vegetables, dairy, poultry, fishery, and even pulses and oilseeds, in line with the emerging demand pattern. Can the Centre and Punjab government join hands to deliver a better future for our children?

Gradall Forklift Parts - The Gradall excavator was the brainchild of two brothers Koop and ray Ferwerda. The excavator was created In the 1940's all through WWII, when there was a scarcity of labourers. The brothers faced the problems of a depleted labor force because of the war. As partners in their Cleveland, Ohio construction business known as Ferwerda-Werba-Ferwerda they lacked the available laborers to be able to do the delicate tasks of finishing and grading on their highway projects. The Ferwerda brothers chose to make an equipment which would save their business by making the slope grading work more efficient, less manual and easier.
The first excavator prototype consisted of a device with two industrial beams on a rotating platform fixed to a used truck. There was a telescopic cylinder that was used to move the beams backward and forward. This allowed the fixed blade at the far end of the beams to push or pull the dirt. Before long enhancing the very first design, the brothers built a triangular boom in order to add more strength. As well, they added a tilt cylinder which let the boom rotate 45 degrees in either direction. A cylinder was positioned at the rear of the boom, powering a long push rod to enable the machinery to be equipped with either a blade or a bucket attachment.
Gradall introduced in 1992, with the introduction of the new XL Series hydraulics, the most innovative adjustment in their machines since their creation. This new system of top-of-the-line hydraulics allowed the Gradall excavator to provide comparable power and high productivity to the more conventional excavators. The XL Series ended the first Gradall equipment power drawn from gear pumps and low pressure hydraulics. These traditional systems efficiently handled finishing work and grading but had a hard time competing for high productivity tasks.
The new XL Series Gradall excavators proved a remarkable increase in their lifting and digging ability. These versions were manufactured with a piston pump, high-pressure hydraulics system that showed immense improvements in boom and bucket breakout forces. The XL Series hydraulics system was also developed with a load-sensing capability. Traditional excavators utilize an operator to select a working-mode; where the Gradall system can automatically adjust the hydraulic power for the job at hand. This makes the operator's general work easier and likewise conserves fuel at the same time.
When their XL Series hydraulics came onto the market, Gradall was basically thrust into the highly competitive market of machinery meant to tackle excavation, demolition, pavement removal as well as different industrial work. Marketability was further improved with their telescoping boom due to its exclusive ability to work in low overhead areas and to better position attachments.

03. Reform Part III
04. The Call To Arms

06. Sworn To Sacrifice
07. Enemy Incited Armageddon
08. Nuclear Self Eradication
09. Numbered Among The Dead
10. The Glorious Death
[Candlelight Records]
Xerath's debut, aptly titled I, had all the watermarks of a fresh and promising young band. The main idea was on show quite clearly: juddering Meshuggah riffs set against orchestral parts that made even the most grandiose statements by Dimmu Borgir or Emperor seem a little half-hearted – but it all came in a package that was just a little rough around the edges; the vision hadn't been fully realised yet.
Enter II. This Basingstoke quartet have taken a huge leap forwards in progression from the aforementioned 2009 offering and it shows most prominently in the song composition. I feel bad in admitting that I never thought they could come up with the grooves that end "God Of The Frontlines"or the djent-ish riffs showcased in "Machine Insurgency," but I am incredibly happy to be proven wrong. On the note of djent, I think it's fair to say that the sudden rise of the 'genre' (I use the term loosely because I know how easily it sets people off) has had an impression on the band. While not adhering to that sound entirely, they stay more true to sound of recent Meshuggah or even Gojira by steering clear of a lot of the pitfalls of the genre such as excessive clean singing and emphasis on melody.
In fact the album is probably geared more towards those with a taste for the heavier things in life. Take the 7-minute epic "Enemy Incited Armageddon," which travels from sickeningly heavy to unnervingly calm within a heartbeat. Xerath could have quite easily gone the way of Septic Flesh (sorry… Septicflesh) and used the symphonic elements to create catchy melodies but instead they serve more as the bedrock to the swaggering guitar and drums interplay. It's incredibly interesting to see how two bands can essentially take the same elements and compose two very different ideas.
With the album stretching nearly into the hour mark, it's understandable there are a few moments that unfortunately don't hold up as well. For instance, "Numbered Among The Dead" falls foul of the same problems that plagued the majority of the I material – it relies too heavily on a few sub-par riffs that seem forced together. It's a shame then that the song also contains the best guitar solo on the whole album. It's soulful in a way that I would normally associate with the Thorndendal leads from Destroy Erase Improve – think more in the area of "Acrid Placidity" or "Future Breed Machine" than the unnerving fret board attack shown in "Transfixion," though.
The UK is a strange breeding ground for bands. Most of the time the bands that 'make it' always have something a little off about them. Xerath are a very good example of that, they take an idea that has been tried a fair few times before with varying degrees of success and twist it just enough that it sounds fresh and exciting. Where I was mere baby steps into the metal world, II is a head first dive into the blood, sweat and tears of the modern metal elite. Get on this now; if the metal world still works on the idea that popularity is intrinsically linked to talent then Xerath are one to watch.

Q: Block path in config.xml Let say I have a module which is the name Metro_Most_Viewed. The module configuration file config.xml reside in the /local/Metro/Most_Viwed/etc directory.
As you know, all directory seperator "/" will replace underscore character. So, I would like to know, how can we write a class name such a directory?
For instance :
Metro_Most_Viewed_Block
equivalent = /app/code/local/Metro/Most_Viewed/Block
is that right?
Or, do you have an alternate method to make folder name like "Most-Viewed"?

A: I think you have to name it MostViewed in order to be a valid module name.

A: I would prefer module name to be like: Mostviewed (only first letter capital) instead of MostViewed.

Thompson Pump helps in hurricane-related recovery in Guajataca
April 12, 20181818
Ten complete systems consisting of 18" pumps, suction and discharge lines, and elbows and fittings were needed to provide relief, delivered by air and by barge.
Ten complete systems consisting of 18″ pumps, suction and discharge lines, and elbows and fittings were needed to provide relief, delivered by air and by barge.
More than six months after Hurricane María decimated Puerto Rico, local company Thompson Pump and its workers are still on the island helping citizens recover from the aftermath of the worst storm in the island's history.
Thompson Pump's efforts helped save an entire community from a potentially catastrophic flood and provided safe drinking water to more than 200,000 citizens.
In the immediate aftermath of the storm, Thompson Pump was among the companies contacted to place bids on a relief contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Thompson subsequently was given the go-ahead by the government agency and mobilized a team of workers to Puerto Rico to formulate a strategy to help save a large community of residents living downstream from the Guajataca Dam, on the island's western flank.
In less than 24 hours, a team of 13 Thompson Pump workers were on the ground in Puerto Rico. All told, 35 Thompson staff members have been in the area at least once during the crisis.
When the dam's spillway failed, it caused an outpouring of water resulting in major erosion that necessitated the evacuation of 70,000 area homes. During and immediately after the storm, there was a real fear they could lose the dam entirely.
Within days of the equipment's arrival in Puerto Rico, the first two pumps were used to reroute water from the Guajataca lake reservoir to a canal feeding three water treatment plants. The remaining eight pumps were deployed in a similar manner shortly thereafter, allowing clean water for the community's citizens for the first time in weeks.

The Salvation Army Desperately Seeking Turkey Donations | Community Spirit
The Salvation Army Desperately Seeking Turkey Donations
Wednesday, November 10th, 2010, 1:02pm
Topics: Community Spirit
The Salvation Army has issued a call to residents of the First Coast to remember the needs of the less fortunate this Thanksgiving. The Salvation Army is making a plea for immediate donations of turkeys to supplement the Thanksgiving Food Boxes and Thanksgiving Homeless Meal on November 25. The Salvation Army is accepting turkeys purchased from local supermarkets or cash donations to purchase turkeys."We are so grateful to those friends in our community who have stepped forward with faithful support for families and individuals struggling to make ends meet," said Major Dean Hinson, Area Commander for The Salvation Army of NE Florida. "But unfortunately the number of people needing help keeps escalating and the amount of public support is just not keeping pace."
In the past, The Salvation Army relied on turkey donations from HoneySuckle White Corporation. The Salvation Army recently learned HoneySuckle White had to pull out of the Florida market and would not be donating turkeys this season. "Everyone has been affected by the economy, many companies just can't donate the way they have in the past," said Hinson. He went on to say The Salvation Army is confident that the community will pull together and lend a helping hand to those who need it most.
"We've been doing this work for over 100 years so we're not going to turn away any deserving neighbor now," Hinson said. "The Salvation Army plans on "doing the most good" we can with the gifts we receive to help those in real need in our community."
Please deliver your purchased turkey to:
The Salvation Army Towers Memorial Social Services Center
900 W. Adams Street
To make a cash donation, please call (904) 301-4855 or mail your donation to:

In a reversal of greenism, Michael Bloomberg's New York Metropolitan Transit Agency is giving up on hybrid transportation.
The city with the mayor nicknamed "Nanny Bloomberg" may be stumping for all sorts of chic, activist causes, from the campaign to rid us of our Second Amendment rights, to the elimination of trans fats in our foods, to the downsizing of soda portions, but one cause the city is souring on is hybrid busses.
The New York Post reports that the city hasn't bought a new hybrid buss in three years and is now moving to retrofit many of the ones it has with diesel engines.
The MTA is reporting that it will retrofit 389 hybrid electric busses with diesel engines because the hybrid engines are too unreliable and too expensive to repair.
"The electric-traction motors are burning out. They're so expensive to replace that it'll be cheaper to stick a diesel engine in there," a source inside the MTA told the Post.
MTA officials also point out that new diesel engines are at least as fuel-efficient as the hybrids are these days, so the savings in fuel is no longer a chief selling point for new hybrids. But, despite the new efficiency of the diesel engines on the market today, it is the cost of repairs that is driving the retrofits.
As it happens, the five-year warrantee is about to run out on many units of New York's hybrid bus fleet and repair costs will soon devolve from the manufacturer to the city. The costs for maintenance will skyrocket.
About 1,677 out of the MTA's fleet of 5,719 busses are hybrids.
Mayor Bloomberg has for years been a champion of every new chic idea that comes down the pike. He's tried to cajole food companies into banning salt in foods, Bloomberg has eyed banning styrofoam containers, he's banned restaurants and convenience stores from selling large soda servings, his city has even banned people listening to headphones that are too loud, those among other crusades, many of which have been shot down by the courts.


It seems that many people think you need distribute if you want to run 2to3 automatically in your setup.py. But personally I don't like setuptools (aka distribute) and hence don't like forcing this on users. No worries since plain old distutils supports this as well, but it simply appears less well known.
That's it! Ok, you have to do slighty more then just add a keyword argument to the setup() call. But just the 2to3 feature is not worth using distribute for.
distribute does much more that that. It makes sure your doctests are also translated and makes the whole process transparent for users who install your project.
And it makes testing under Python 2 and 3 easier.

This course highlights the intersections, relationships and connections between a wide and diverse range of Māori and Pacific art forms, including performance, tapa cloth, body adornment and contemporary gallery-based art practices, and cultural concepts like talanoa (open ended dialogue), ta (temporal), va (spatial), kastom (customary practices) and turangawaewae ("a place to stand", a sense of belonging or association grounded in one's genealogy and tied to a particular place). It firmly positions Māori and Pacific artists, key exhibitions and art writers within an intersectional art historical framework, indigenous knowledge systems and the contemporary, global world.
Themes explored include indigenous and migrant voices, memory and notions of belonging, popular culture and its interface with gallery practices and stereotypes and representation. Themes and issues are discussed alongside relevant Pacific writers and theorists, including Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, Albert Wendt and Epeli Hau'ofa.

Styrofoam is molded to shape the river and other parts of the scenario.
Maintenance holes are open at the back to access the electrical wires and connections (lights and water pump).
The cardsboards and styrofoam parts are disguised with construction foam. The easiest way to build a mountain.
Once the foam has dried it is time to paint it a little.
Just to disguise the yellow foam look and to get a bit of sand/dirt feeling.
Hint: Just a few touches of paint are needed. Next steps will cover this base with (ah ah!) natural elements.
After the base mountain is done, it is time to test and adjust the placement of all the decorative figures, with some taste and logical sense.
Hint: be carefull with scale. There are different sizes of houses and figures; try to stick to a single scale. If not possible, try to arrange it all with attention to proportions.
All the electrical appliances must be connected and its wires and connectors hidden.
Water pump for the river and pond, air pump for the cauldron soup to boild and bubble, electricity for the lights and, the last but not the least, for the boar to roast.
We have a mix of sources: some are 220V; some are low voltage with power adapter; some are battery powered.
We try to use a lot of natural elements, to bring authenticity to the scene.
Some small rocks and some herbs, twigs, small branches and alike.
And we place it as natural as possible.
It's a joy to see it become Vivid.
and almost 1 meter high.
to access the central area from the borders and to connect all the wiring underneath.
Just some minor details along the way.
Thanks a lot for your kind words Andy.
I'll plan to update the last stages of the build in the following days.

Israel pays tribute to Lithuanians
Sandra L. Medearis
VILNIUS - A Lithuanian woman has received Israel's highest award to a non-Jew, the Yad Vashem diploma and medal naming her "Righteous Among Nations," for helping to save Jews in Vilnius during the Holocaust.
Elzbeta Tomasevskaya received the thank you to her and on behalf of her mother, Marija Paskevic, at a Feb. 10 ceremony at the Jewish Community Center in Vilnius, along with relatives of 10 others honored posthumously. Relatives received the awards for: Ustinia Vasilieva, Anastacia Yemelianova, Julija Vitkauskiene and her son, Arejas-Stasys Vitkauskas, Ona and Eduardas Leonavicious, Gene Jonusiene-Premeneckaite, Kipras and Elena Petrauskas, and Stanislovas Jakubauskis.
For the award to be given, people saved must come forward to nominate the savior. Then the Yad Vashem organization conducts an extensive documentation of the nomination through witnesses and documents some researched in archives, Ronit Ben Dor, charge d'affaires with Israel's embassy in Riga.
"A lot of research is going on," she said. "The fact that the Iron Curtain has dropped has made it possible to find out about and reach these people."
In praising those who risked their lives to save Jews, Ben Dor said that "people have to distance themselves from differentiating among their fellow humans and reject prejudice."
"Righteous among nations are a model to all of us in their hum heroism. I am sure you will agree that these people are so special, so exceptional, that as many others as possible should know about them," she said.
Jehuda Bailis of Israel was saved as a child by Jonusiene-Premeneckaite and Jakubauskis. He nominated them for the award.
Bailis, his father, mother and sisters were taken from the Kaunas ghetto to a killing place called the Ninth Fort where people were slaughtered in waves. Bailis, 13, watched his family getting shot. No bullet hit Bailis, but he dropped in the pit. He reached his dying mother who told him, "Live."
When the day turned to darkness, Bailis crawled out of the pit and went back toward Kaunas. As he was resting along the way, he met Gene Jonusiene-Premeneckaite who took him her home where he stayed for some months. Then he left, as his benefactor was under threats. She helped him return to the Kaunas ghetto. Bailis was ensnared again and escaped. Once again he was hidden by Jonusiene-Premeneckaite. From her house he went to see his teacher at the seminary he had been attending during winter time. That teacher was Jakubauskis Stanislovas.
Bailis, who currently lives in Israel, told his teacher that he did not need help, but that there were children needing assistance - children whose parents were perpetrating rebellion against the Nazis. Jakubauskis Stanislovas gave Bailis drugs and money. The money he used to buy cigarettes and other treats to bribe guards when necessary. The medicine he used to dose the children one by one that they might ride calmly on his back as he carried them to safety. Bailis, with the pastor's help, carried 22 children to the seminary.
The Lithuanian Parliament's chairman, Vytautas Landsbergis, whose mother was earlier awarded the diploma and medal of Yad Vashem, Ben Dor said, attended the ceremony.
"I was surprised and very glad," she said.
