We are often asked by our customers if we can supply an alternative to Durapipe, and our answer is usually "Yes". Although we are happy to supply Durapipe plastic pipe and fittings, there are other manufacturers who produce to the same BS, DIN and WRAS standards who can be more cost efficient. There are some aspects where, if an existing Durapipe pipe system is being modified, that you could argue that some components such as valves or unions, should be kept the same for maintenance purposes, however, the vast majority can be substituted to a different manufacturer without affecting the systems performance.
Durapipe is part of the Aliaxis Group and one of a number of brands including Marley, GPS, Philmac and FIP. In fact recently, due to various takeovers, mergers etc., many Durapipe fittings seem to now be supplied with FIP stamped on them.
Most industrial plastic pipe system are interchangeable between manufacturers, although sometimes this is with the exception of ball valves and unions, due to the type of threads used. As long as the same size of pipe and fittings are ordered, then durapipe fittings will fit other manufacturers pipe, and other manufacturers pipe will fit Durapipe fittings.
So why would you want to change from Durapipe? It is true that it is a good quality product, and until fifteen or twenty years ago, along with George Fischer, was one of the few reliably manufactured systems. Since that time however, with improvements on manufacturing processes and raw material quality, other manufacturers have improved their quality and reliability to the same level. This is born out by the WRAS (Water Reasearch Advisory Board) approval - which is a series of tests carried out by independent laboratories to ensure that the pipe systems are suitable for drinking water use by the water authorities - which is now given to many other manufacturers. Durapipe and George Fischer have, however, maintained their prices at a higher level than other manufacturers - sometimes at more than twice the price.
So, I summary, as we said at the start of this, if you want Durapipe we are more than happy to supply this to you at a competitive rate, however if you want to save some money without compromising your system, we are equally as happy to supply you an alternative manufacturer.

Heroes: The Fix
GeekBoy January 31, 2007 October 28, 2021 Comments Off on Heroes: The Fix
In this episode of Heroes …
Hiro is still looking for his sword, and in the process, he and Ando get kidnapped by some men in a van, who it turns out work for Hiro's father, George Takei ("Oh MY!"). Of course, the fact that the NBC marketing department already revealed this casting weeks ago took all the steam and surprise out of this particular plotline for me. I wonder when the networks will figure out that people who watch TV shows actually LIKE surprises?
Claire is still looking for her real parents, and after some research, finds her mother, who — according to Mr. Bennet — was supposed to be dead. And who seems to have the power to create and control fire. My guess is that she unwittingly started the fire that "killed" her at a time when she didn't have much control over her power, and that her ability to start fire also protected her from it. As for Claire … well, we've already seen her survive one fire.
Peter is looking for the invisible man, and finds him … then loses him. But when Nathan teams up with Isaac to stage an intervention for Peter, he manages to escape with the help of that same invisible man, who is presumably now going to help him learn how to control his powers, a la Obi Wan Kenobi.
D.L. is looking for a way to break Niki out of the looney bin, so she can help raise Micah. But Niki is looking for a way to integrate her split personality, and tells D.L. to step up, be a father, and learn to set boundaries for their son. Who is at that moment busy stealing money from every ATM machine in town. Oops!
In other news, Matt gets suspended from the force for six months, his wife is pregnant (but whose kid is it?), and over at the paper factory, Sylar escapes from captivity by playing dead. Oops!!!
Tune in next week to see what Hiro's dad is so pissed about, find out who Claire's father is, and to see if Sylar will slice off the top of her head before she gets a chance to find out herself.
Any thoughts on what this week's title referred to?

This blog is protected by Dave's Spam Karma 2: 7691 Spams eaten and counting...


Ok, so PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (or PUBG) isn't to everyone's taste, but there are some things which are hard to ignore about the game. Firstly, it has sold over 25 million copies and secondly, it generally averages around 1 million concurrent players on Steam. Such figures are not to be scoffed at.
One player, however, is using the game to undertake a unique challenge within the game. One of which if I undertook, I'd probably starve.
In PUBG, you are pitted against up to 100 other players in a last-man-standing (or woman) scenario. As such, your chances of winning are not good. Well, not unless you're a filthy cheater and even then you might not be much longer.
Aside from some in-game currency, your main prize for winning is being greeted with the congratulations – 'Winner Winner Chicken Dinner'.
One such player, however, has decided that for the next month, he will only eat chicken dinners and, in addition, only when he has won a round.
Dubbing it the chicken dinner challenge, in a report via PCGamesN, PUBG player Andrew Panton has decided that all he will only eat when he wins a round of PUBG. To reward himself for this, each time he does it, he earns one chicken dinner.
With over 130,000,000 chicken dinners currently having been won in the game, Andrew has a chance, but I hope he's a better player than me.
While I could stand to miss a few meals, if I took this challenge, I would starve. After about 40-50 rounds, the best I have ever managed in PUBG is a 2nd place finish.
On the plus side, if he wins 3 games in a row, he can stockpile those dinners. Hopefully, the community will be kind to him. He is literally playing for a chicken dinner.
What do you think? A fun or stupid challenge? How would you do? – Let us know in the comments!

Venturi developed Payton's Charm to help prevent hot car deaths.
HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - In our fast-paced lives, things often go forgotten. That's why a Huntsville company launched a new life-saving device. It detects carbon dioxide levels in hot cars. Specifically, it sends you notifications if you forgot about your child or pet in the car.
Just this past August in south Huntsville, a 2-year-old girl died after being left in the car. That's why Venturi Aerospace and Defense created Payton's Charm, which is named after a girl named Payton who lost her life in a hot car accident. Her father now advocates for the misconception surrounding this tragedy.
"This device is intended to just be passively monitoring a car. So what it does is it actually monitors the air itself. It monitors for respirations, so exhalations of carbon dioxide, and it monitors CO2 levels inside the vehicle, in addition to temperature, which is the metric for extreme conditions," said Ben Payment, senior software lead for Payton's Charm.
Payton's Charm sends text notifications to primary, secondary and tertiary caretakers when CO2 inside the car reaches a dangerous level.
"After that we intend on integrating with a third-party monitoring system that could even get a person involved right since potentially your contacts were unavailable.and alert emergency services," Payment said.
Venturi is also working to program the make, model and location of the car so you would know how to take action quickly.
The company says right now, an average of 38 people die in cars every year. They want to shed shed light on this new service and save as many lives as possible.

How to Manage Your Twin Babies?
New mother of two? Still in a state of bewilderment of your beloved 'Get one free' prizes? In addition to that, are you wondering how to manage your two darlings at once? If it seems like a somewhat hectic job to you, know this. Most new mommies are struggling with having to care for their new-born with perfection. You have two: so there is an added bonus of responsibility. But, don't fret! You are in the right place and about to learn some real hands-on tips about how to take care of twin babes.
Can the two New-Borns Sleep Together?
This is what doctors refer to as co-bedding which is completely safe. In fact, twins when sleeping together in the same cot, regulate body temperatures better and co-ordinate their sleeping cycles. This is good for both babies. There are no special rules for co-bedding- just don't forget to put everything in pairs. Two pillows, two soft toys, two suckers and er…two babies!
Well! Here are some tips to follow when you're stuck about how to manage both twins at once.
Breastfeed both babies together. Try using a nursing pillow for feeding both at a time. If tandem feeding is problematic, try feeding alternately with one being breastfed and the other bottle-fed. Switch their turns during your next meal.
Make them fall asleep together on the same cot.
Bottle feed them together as well.
Learn the inside and outs of using a double stroller.
Remember to alternate holding and laying down each babe.
Learn to use an infant cushion.
Also, learn how to lay them on the blanket together.
Be extra fast with changing diapers, because you got to do both at a time.
Have equal speed with preparing their sucking bottles.
Be organised with how you keep your baby stuff. It won't be nice for you if your breast pumps are going missing while both babes are crying for attention.
Plus, here's a fact: twins have spent longer together than you have with each of them times two. Let them maintain their special bond. Don't show favouritism to any of the two.


It has been a long time since my friend Veronica and I had been able to hang out together. It so happened be her birthday, so we decided to celebrate by having a nice lunch and catch up on old times.
We don't live far from each other, but we both have busy schedules. Seeing her this past weekend was wonderful.
This cozy and extremely comfortable sweater and my new tote has become one of my favorite Fall essential.
Happy Wednesday and Thank you Bellas for reading.


There's currently no cure for post-polio syndrome, so treatment focuses on helping you manage your symptoms and improving your quality of life.
People with the condition are often treated by a team of different healthcare professionals working together. This is known as a multidisciplinary team (MDT).
Being active is thought to be beneficial for most people with post-polio syndrome, as it may slow down the progressive muscle weakness.
However, this can be difficult to achieve because your symptoms may feel worse after a period of activity.
For example, several smaller trips to a supermarket may be easier than one large shop. If driving to the supermarket and back is tiring, you may want to consider having home deliveries.
Pacing can mean you don't wear yourself out and are able to accomplish more activities over the space of a day than if you tried to do things without taking a break.
Many people with post-polio syndrome find it difficult to adapt to pacing at first. This is because when they had polio as a child, they may have been told to make every effort to use their muscles, even if it caused pain and fatigue.
Nowadays, the advice is the opposite. It's thought that making effective and efficient use of your strength and muscle function will help them last longer.
While pain and fatigue can often be reduced using pacing, various medications to help relieve pain are available if you need them. These include over-the-counter painkillers such as aspirin, paracetamol or ibuprofen, and stronger anti-inflammatory drugs and opiates.
Over-the-counter medicines shouldn't be used on a long-term basis without first talking to your GP. This is because some of them can cause complications, such as stomach ulcers, if taken over long periods.
Opiates, such as codeine, may cause drowsiness or depressed breathing (slow, shallow breathing) as well as other side effects, including constipation.
If these medications don't work, your GP may consider prescribing gabapentin for your pain. This medication was originally developed for epilepsy, but has also proved useful for post-polio syndrome pain when other types of painkillers haven't helped.
If you're taking medication to control your pain, you may not be aware of damage that could be caused to your muscles and joints by too much activity. It's therefore important to stick to your pacing regimen, even if you don't feel tired or in pain.
Mobility aids may make it possible for you to do many of the activities that were becoming difficult or impossible.
Many mobility aids are available for free on the NHS. Read about mobility equipment, wheelchairs and scooters on the NHS for more information about what's available and how you can access it.
If you have breathing difficulties as a result of post-polio syndrome, a number of treatments and lifestyle measures may be useful.
If you smoke, stopping smoking can also help.
Being overweight can put further strain on weakened muscles and can have a negative effect on your energy levels and general health. Losing weight (if you need to) may improve your symptoms.
While regular exercise is a good way of controlling your weight, it may not be possible because of your physical condition. Your care team may be able to give you specific advice about this.
Following a sensible healthy eating plan will help you reduce and control your weight, as well as improve your overall health. It's important to eat a healthy, balanced diet, including foods that provide energy that's released slowly over long periods.
Trying new foods, new food combinations or new ways of cooking to widen the variety of tastes and textures and stimulate the appetite can be an enjoyable way to lose weight and improve your health. Your GP can refer you to a dietitian, if necessary.
try ready meals and tinned and packet foods if you feel too tired to cook a meal from scratch; however, you should avoid eating these too often because they're usually high in salt, sugars and fats, and low in vitamins and minerals.
Post-polio syndrome can often have a significant psychological impact. The symptoms can be distressing, and developing post-polio syndrome can often bring back painful childhood memories of living with polio.
It can often feel very cruel that, having struggled to overcome a polio infection during childhood, you're affected by polio again. This can lead to feelings of anxiety, isolation and stress, which can sometimes trigger depression.
If you've been feeling very down during the past month and you no longer take pleasure in things that you used to enjoy, you may be depressed. See your GP if this is the case. A number of treatments are available that can help.
It's important not to neglect your mental wellbeing if you have post-polio syndrome. As well as the impact on your quality of life, feelings of depression and anxiety can also interfere with your treatment.
You may find it useful to talk to other people who are living with post-polio syndrome.
Additionally, you may find The British Polio Fellowship's online forum to be a useful resource. The website also has details of useful organisations for people with the condition.


Microsoft Excel can be a powerful tool for data analysis, and it can be even more useful when workers are able to match two spreadsheets side-by-side. Matching two separate spreadsheets is one of the best ways users have to spot erroneous data, analyze differences in information and make sense of complex data. Microsoft Excel provides a feature designed specifically to allow users to compare and match two spreadsheets side-by-side.
You can match two spreadsheets.
Log on to your computer and open Microsoft Excel. Open the first spreadsheet you want to match.
Open the second spreadsheet. Once both spreadsheets are open, click the "Window" menu.
Choose the "Compare Side by Side" option to see both of the spreadsheets side by side. Place your cursor on the top bar of each spreadsheet and move it around in the window until it is in the position you want. Do the same with the other spreadsheet until you can easily see them side-by-side.
Scroll through both spreadsheets, looking for differences in the data as you go. Note any changes that need to be made in one or both spreadsheets, then save both spreadsheets to preserve your changes.

Human Connections and Telehealth: Navigating the COVID-19 Era
The year 2020 has had no shortage of culture-impacting events—that is for certain. We've had heartbreaking celebrity deaths, devastating natural disasters, polarizing political happenings, monumental social justice movements, and of course—COVID-19. So impactful the events of the first half of 2020 have been, that one could say that we have entered a whole new era, and in many ways, we definitely have.
The Impact of the COVID-19 Era
The impact of this new era is readily visible in our health care system. In addition to dealing with the strain of caring for an influx of COVID-19 diagnosed patients, care must be provided for patients battling a plethora of other diagnoses but under severely restrictive safety protocols and operations. More than just adequately treating patients, it's also ensuring safety for health professionals and also supporting the emotional needs of the patient families. All in all, perhaps more than anything, this era we've entered into has challenged the human connections and relationships that are essential to treating patients and saving lives.
When Telehealth Becomes a Necessity
Another impact of the COVID-19 era is that some conveniences became essential necessities. Take telehealth, for example. Over the past several years, organizations had been incorporating telehealth to some extent at an increasing but by no means blazing rate. In 2020, telehealth has become an absolute necessity—in some scenarios being the only way to continue seeing patients. And given the volatility of this pandemic, telehealth will play a significant role in the foreseeable future. The CMS regulations are changing, insurance reimbursements are adapting, and health care organizations are creating new workflows to provide care in this new era. But a question worth keeping in mind through it all is how does a telehealth platform impact the human connections and relationships between health care teams, patients, and their loved ones.
Prioritizing the Human Connection
As part of my work here at pMD, almost daily I assist patients in getting oriented on our platform for their telehealth encounters on pMD. Most patients don't need any assistance and never reach out to us, but often it's the patients most in need of care who are the least tech-savvy, or who are very apprehensive about having their first video visit. I have had personal phone calls with hundreds of elderly patients who have never downloaded an app before and just need a patient-caring presence to walk them through the process. I have had more calls than I can remember where I've conducted test video sessions with family members who ultimately were just really anxious about their loved one being set up properly to have their scheduled doctor visit. The joy and appreciation that these people express when their concerns and anxieties about their telehealth software have been put at ease are very rewarding. It's also been quite entertaining at times, especially that moment when the video connects and we "celebrate" our success and put faces to our voices.
These moments I've shared with patients are because pMD's commitment to providing the best customer support is not just for the health care organizations we partner with, it also extends to their patients. The fact is, some people just need more technical support than others, and in this COVID era where telehealth is sometimes the only option, we continue to give our best toward helping every patient have a delightful telehealth experience with their health care providers.
Partnering with pMD
We here at pMD understand that adopting a patient-facing technology, such as a telehealth platform, inherently incorporates supporting those patients who need more technical support than others. More importantly, we understand that a health organization implementing technology to facilitate patient care does not magically acquire the in-house capability to provide the premium technical support that some of the most in-need patients require. And in many cases, I've noticed that patients don't seem to distinguish their experience with me from their experience with their doctor's office as a whole. So accordingly, I value the interaction and treat it as such. The takeaway being that choosing a technology platform is sometimes more than just choosing product features—it is engaging in a partnership that impacts the overall experience of all those involved. This is why we not only provide round-the-clock personal customer support, we continue to evolve our products and release new features with the delight of both providers and patients at the forefront.
A telehealth platform that offers round-the-clock personal customer support, video/voice/text communication, availability on iOS/Android/Web, and many other features, does indeed check a lot of the boxes on a typical product requirements list. But in my experience, it's how all of the parts come together to create the greater whole of fostering human connections, and the partnership between health care organization and technology vendor, that is most invaluable in defining a telehealth platform. And in an era where telehealth adoption has become an essential necessity, and quality human connections in health care are needed more than ever, I'm proud to be part of a team that prioritizes real partnership and continues to create offerings that put people first.

Structural Engineering - Lindapter fixings are used to connect primary structural steel on both permanent and temporary structures worldwide. The brand's exclusive and patented connection techniques are independently approved by respected international associations with Lindapter's load bearing capacities tested and verified. Third party recognition also extends to independent design guidance from SCI/BCSA, detailing the use of the Hollo-Bolt as a primary connection. Lindapter applications include fixing of structural beams, roofing, cladding, flooring and temporary access runway beams as well as secondary steelwork installation.
Civil Engineering - Throughout Lindapter's 75 year history, their vast range of fixings have been applied to countless Civil projects across the globe from steelwork fixings on bridges, to support fixings for building services, to the extent that in most major cities or towns there is usually a Lindapter somewhere close! The variety of fixings and load bearing capabilities has led to extensive use in different engineering environments including telecommunications, power generation, water treatment plants, rail, tunnelling and other large scale Civil projects.
Oil & Gas - Lindapter stainless steel or hot dip galvanised fixings are perfectly suited to withstand the harsh environmental forces found on offshore platforms. Applications include helideck, blastwall and deck expansion installations, whilst onshore suitability equally includes pipe support and flooring. As onsite drilling or welding is avoided, hot work permits are not required enabling both a safe and efficient installation with minimum interruption to productivity.
Rail - Lindapter clamping systems and adjustable clamps, whether steelwork fixings or bespoke product developments can be found on many of the world's rail networks in diverse applications ranging from connecting structural steel in stations, to securing low speed lines in maintenance depots. Fast and convenient fixings are available for overhead line equipment, trackwork cable troughs, electrification bracketry, station monitors and bridge re-strengthening.
Architectural - Responding to the artistic requirements of contemporary design, Lindapter has created a range of fixings to complement modern construction and facades. Cladding, curtain walls and external features can be secured to a structure with speed and the reassurance of independently approved safe working loads. Other applications include primary & secondary steelwork, balconies, staircases and handrails. Lindapter's suitability to architectural design is further illustrated with the recently developed Hollo-Bolt Flush Fit that enables an aesthetically pleasing connection as the fixing is concealed within the steelwork with no protruding bolt head.
Building Services - Whether fixing to structural sections, hollow sections, composite decking, purlins or light steel framing, Lindapter has the support fixing to suit. Applications include the installation of pipework, HVAC systems, sprinkler systems, electrical equipment and suspended ceilings.

Re: ANOTHER MARK OF BRITISH ESTEEM FOR TRUMP
ANOTHER MARK OF BRITISH ESTEEM FOR TRUMP

Most people love the British because of their very dry sense of humor. This is epic!

Well Trump gave an interview to a London newspaper. Here are some of the things he told them.
1. My poll numbers in the US are higher than Abe Lincolns were. (There was no polling when Abe was President.)
2. Since I became President i have doubled, or tripled the GDP of the US. (Total lie. He does not know what GDP is.)
3. I told the PM how to handle the exit from the EU in a simple way, but she went her own way. (He undermines the PM in her own country)
4. There will be no special trade deal for the UK if they leave the EU. (Same as 4)
5. Boris Johnson would make a fine PM of UK. He could do a good job. (Same as 4)
Do you think he helped or hurt relations between the UK, and US? We will be lucky if they do not declare war on us after his visit.
I don't think we have to worry, the British have a keen sense of smell.

Dear "rk"...
Sorry to confront you with some facts, but here goes:
A. It is Mr. Trump's supporters who are blind, not the people who see what he's doing to this country, nay, to the whole planet.
B. I wouldn't waste my energy "hating" such a mediocre exuse for a human being. Now "disgust," "annoyance", "perplexity" at his ignorance, maybe.
C. The Bucks Herald was established in 1832, and is published in Aylesbury.
D. Mr. Trump will be visiting Blenham Palace, which is a mere 30 miles from Aylesbury.
E. The Stoke Mandeville Farm where the artist's "Russian" crop circle was installed is a scant three miles away from Aylesbury.
If a foreign dignitary were visiting an estate 30 miles from a New Hampshire town with an established weekly newspaper, would you expect the paper to ignore it? Further, if an artist figured out the probable flight-path of the dignitary and wanted to cut a corn-maze into a protest message, would you expect the paper to ignore that too?
Finally, it's not uncommon for major news outlets to pick up a local story from a local paper; so, it's not our "cult" which found the Bucks Herald, but journalists covering an interesting story.

No apologies needed for a news cast showing how much the Brits love trump. I certainly think that avoidance on trump's part comes into play here. And no state dinner just tea with the Queen Mother! Even she has her limits.
I sure hope that people here catch on to the fact that we elected a destroyer, not a true leader.
And then putin and russia next, after destroying relationships within NATO
Can't you just see the Queen sitting there at the Tea with Trump thinking, it's unbelievable the things I do for Great Britain. My hats off to her.

Jumio sets up an artificial intelligence lab in Greater Montréal
̶ Jumio's AI Labs will be dedicated to developing deep learning models and best practices to revolutionize online identity verification and fraud detection ̶
Jumio, the creator of Netverify™ Trusted Identity as a Service (TIaaS), today announced the launch of Jumio AI Labs in Montréal dedicated to the creation, experimentation and at-scale deployment of machine learning and deep learning technologies. The new office will expand upon the innovation driven by Jumio's Vienna-based AI team by building production models that perform three vital functions related to online identity verification: data extraction, fraud detection, and risk scoring.
Jumio's AI Labs are developing deep learning models to dramatically improve identity verification accuracy and verification speed. The team is led by Labhesh Patel, CTO and Chief Scientist at Jumio, who is expanding his team of machine learning engineers and AI specialists in Montréal to realize this important mission and maintain Jumio's global leadership in AI-powered identity verification.
Artificial intelligence has already been productionalized to reduce the time it takes to verify an ID document or an online identity which, in turn, is helping Jumio's customers reduce their abandonment rates and increase new account conversions. In fact, Jumio's AI models have reduced the average customer transaction time by 7 percent, with more significant reductions planned for the fourth quarter.
"Because of Jumio's scale and deep experience in ID and identity verification, we have amassed very large datasets that are being leveraged to develop highly predictive AI models," said Mr. Patel. "Jumio's AI Labs will build on this experience to further refine our supervised AI models, develop best practices, and continue as a platform of innovation."
The choice of Montréal as the location of Jumio's AI Labs was deliberate. In recent years, Montréal has emerged as a major technology hub for AI. A major reason has been the work of Yoshua Bengio, a professor and researcher at the University of Montréal, a co-founder of Element AI (a company dedicated to advancing cutting-edge AI research), and widely considered one of the fathers of deep learning. This combined with a low cost of living and several large Montréal-based universities and academic institutions, has led to a convergence of AI talent and research support in the city.
"Jumio's creation of its AI Labs in Montréal and the investment in research around deep learning are both strong signals of the economic attractiveness of Montréal. This is the result of the city's ongoing effort to promote a vibrant ecosystem of innovation," said Hubert Bolduc, President and CEO of Montréal International, the Greater Montréal's economic development agency.
Online identity verification — an industry that is expected to grow to $20 billion by 2022 — is evolving as traditional methods of identity verification, such as knowledge-based authentication and two-factor authentication, have fallen out of favor. Jumio's investment in AI Labs will enable the company to stay at the forefront by creating new models, algorithms, and best practices that will fuel the company's growth and broader adoption of AI-powered identity verification.

Bitter disappointment for Aghada last Sunday when we lost out by the minimum margin in the 1st round of this year's football championship. This team has been going well in the 2019 league, but with poor championship results over many years, a good start on the day was still going to be important from a confidence point of view. Aghada threw down the gauntlet from the throw in, with Pearse driving forward from Tom's tap down. Conor O'Driscoll finished the move inside 30 seconds. Pressure on the kickout, led to Cian Fleming winning possession and a sublime dummy and finish had us 2 up. The same player linked with Shane Bennett for Bennett to finish our 3rd on 4 minutes. Tim Hartnett forced a turnover in midfield on 6 minutes and the lively Aaron Berry kicked a fine score to make it 0-4 to no score and only 6 minutes played. Then however Aghada backed off the contest completely. Na Piarsaigh played a few short kickouts and with Aghada backing off were able to throw the ball about unchallenged. This seemed to allow the city side to grow into the game. 3 points in 3 minutes from the 11th to 13th minutes and suddenly it was game on. From here to the short whistle, the game was played mostly in the Aghada half, and Na Piarsaigh hit 3 more points from play in this period. The 6th point could have been a goal but for a fine stop from Ray Savage. After the blistering start Aghada only managed 1 more score – a fine point from Berry. We had 5/6 wides in this period, with some shots taken from poor areas. At half time it was Na Piarsaigh by one and they would have the wind for the second half.
Ronnie Power and Aiden O'Connell came on for the second period, but Na Piarsaigh opened the scoring with a point from play on 5 minutes. Aghada had a different attitude now however and were pushing up on their opponents all over the pitch. Another scoring burst soon followed. This time 6 points scored in just over 4 minutes and Aghada were rampant. The scoring slowed somewhat after that, but remarkably with 28 minutes played in the second half, Aghada had held Na Piarsaigh to only 3 scores with the wind and we were 3 points to the good as the clock ticked down. There was one more scoring burst left however and it was our opponents that produced it. Points on the 59th, 60th and 63rd minutes drew the game level. Both sides also spurned good goal chances in the dying minutes, but in the end it was 12 points apiece and extra time was needed.
Aghada again had the wind for the 1st 10 minute period of extra time. Crucially we failed to score in this time, and indeed only managed one shot on target which dropped short. Na Piarsaigh kicked two frees and had the initiative as the sides changed ends once more. They hit another from play to go 3 clear and it was looking bad for Aghada. Pearse, as usual, rallied Aghada. He drove forward once more from midfield, before releasing to Charlie Terry. The young forward buried a super finish to the bottom right of the Na Piarsaigh goal and it was all square again. The next kickout was vital, and the city men won it. They broke down the field and fisted an excellent score to retake the lead. Aghada had another goal chance soon after but it came to nothing. We missed a scoreable free and then with the last play, Pearse again drove forward and off loaded to Berry. He in turn found Ronan Kennedy who appeared to be bundled over going through. No whistle for a free came, instead just moments later came the long whistle and Na Piarsaigh were winners. Major disappointment for Aghada, but the backdoor route will be availed of in the summer. Right now we must dust ourselves down as we switch into hurling mode with 4 weeks to prepare for the hurlers first round against Cloyne.
Aghada Team and scorers – Ray Savage, Kalen O'Donoghue, Jake O'Donoghue, Kyle O'Shea, Shane Dorney, Jordan Tynan, Mathew O'Connor, Tom O'Neill, Conor O'Driscoll (0-1), Tim Hartnett (0-2), Pearse O'Neill (0-1), Shane Bennett (0-1), Cian Fleming (0-2), Danny Creedon (0-2, 1f), Aaron Berry (0-3, 1f). Subs Ronan Power, Aiden O'Connell, Jack McDonald, Ronan Kennedy, Kevin O'Hanlon, Charlie Terry (1-0), Aaron Stafford.

This is what he came for
Callum Beattie reveals he spent £1,000 to give Calvin Harris a tape of his songs – and he still hasn't heard back
The Scottish singer-songwriter sought out the superstar DJ during a stag do in Las Vegas
By Dan Cain, Senior Showbiz Reporter
Updated: 21 Aug 2017, 12:45
SINGER-SONGWRITER Callum Beattie revealed he forked out a small fortune to get his music into the hands of Calvin Harris.
The determined Scotsman turned a stag do with pals into a career opportunity as he headed to one of the DJ's gigs armed with his tunes.

Speaking to The Sun Online at V Festival, Callum explained: "I met Calvin Harris in Las Vegas one year. I went over there on a stag do.
"I put on my kilt and brought a few demos with me. I was still playing in the bars at the time. He said he'd give it a listen. It cost me $300 a ticket to get in and $1000 for a bottle of vodka but at least he got the demo."
However, it doesn't look like a collaboration between the pair is going to happen just yet.
When asked if he'd heard back from his fellow Scotsman, Callum said: "No, but I've got a couple of songs if he's interested [laughs].'
The We Are Stars singer also recalled the time he blagged his way on stage with R.E.M at T in the Park.
He explained: "I used a Hi-Vis vest to sneak in and was handing out my demo to all these rock stars. I was helping myself to all this lager backstage and I fell asleep.

"Anyway, I woke up and when R.E.M were headlining so I just walked up to the side of the stage and pretended I was working there.
"I thought I might not be able to play to 70,000 people I'll take my chances and sort of ran on and I think it was caught on telly. I basically headlined T in the Park [laughs]."

In other words, any time a person illegally benefits from the assets of an elderly individual, elder financial abuse has occurred.
The National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA) reports that the rate of elder financial abuse is exceedingly high, with as many as 1 in 20 older adults reporting financial mistreatment. Sadly, less than 50% of financial exploitation cases are reported.
What are the common ways the elderly are exploited?
In these instances, the elderly victim often allows a trusted person access to his/her finances and assets through these documents. The trusted person will then use the funds for his/her own purposes, often neglecting the victim's financial needs. This can lead to stolen money, assets, or properties. Some victims may find themselves suddenly destitute or homeless, without insurance, and robbed of their savings.
Most at risk are those elderly people who suffer from mental or physical disabilities including Alzheimer's or dementia, those who are single and isolated, those who are unfamiliar with financial matters or technology, and those with predictable financial patterns (such as a monthly pension or social security check).
What should I look for if I suspect financial abuse?
If you suspect that someone you know is a victim of elder financial abuse, contact an attorney immediately. An attorney should act quickly to stop assets from being transferred or, if they have been transferred, sue for damages.
If you believe you have a case, please contact us at 740-374-5346 or use our contact form. We will work with you to ensure the safety and financial security of your loved ones.

Hermes II (NASA)
29 May 1947: At 1930 hours, Mountain Daylight Time, a Hermes II two-stage, liquid-fueled rocket was launched from Launch Complex 33 at southern end of the White Sands Proving Grounds, east of Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Earlier in the day, a launch attempt failed when the first stage engine failed to produce thrust. Repairs were made and the second attempt succeeded—sort of. . .
The plan was for the rocket to arc toward the north, heading for the far end of the proving grounds. Instead, the Hermes II arced to the SOUTH.
The Range Safety Officer was prevented from sending a DESTRUCT signal when a program scientist physically restrained him. The rocket peaked at 35 nautical miles (65 kilometers), passed over Fort Bliss and El Paso, and after about five minutes of flight, hit the ground about one-half mile from the Buena Vista Airport in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.

At impact, the rocket dug a crater 50 feet (15.2 meters) across and 24 feet (7.3 meters) deep. The explosion shook buildings in El Paso and 25 miles (40 kilometers) away in Fabens, Texas. The rocket barely missed a powder magazine where mining companies were storing dynamite and other explosives.
Fortunately, there were no injuries, and property damage was minor.

Hermes II was the world's first multi-stage rocket. Developed from the German V-2 rocket (Vergeltungswaffen 2), it was intended to serve as a test bed for ramjet development. The upper stage had a broad wing for flight tests of a split-wing two-dimensional ducted-airfoil ramjet. (For this launch the ramjet was not operational.) The span of the fins were increased to improve stability.
The Hermes II was 51.50 feet (15.70 meters) tall. The tail fins had a span of 17.75 feet (5.41 meters), and the second stage wing span was 15.26 feet (4.65 meters). The rocket had a gross weight of 31,750 Pounds (14,400 kilograms). The liquid oxygen/alcohol-fueled engine produced 60,000 pounds of thrust (267 kilonewtons).
In 1948, the Hermes II was redesignated RTV-G-3 by the U.S. Army.

V-2 "Round 3" is prepared for launch at White Sands Proving Grounds, New Mexico, 10 May 1946. (The Space Race – Rockets)
10 May 1946: The first successful launch of a captured V-2 ballistic missile in the United States took place at the White Sands Proving Ground in the Tularosa Basin of southern New Mexico. With a burn time of 59 seconds, the rocket reached an altitude of 70.9 miles (114.1 kilometers) and traveled 31 miles (49.9 kilometers) down range.
On 15 March 1946, a static test firing of a V-2 rocket had taken place at White Sands, and then on 16 April, a rocket was launched. One of the stabilizing fins failed, and then radio conttact was lost at 19.5 seconds. The rocket reached a peak altitude of only 3.4 miles (5.5 kilometers) before crashing a short distance from the launch site. (A 9-minute video of the preparations and launch can be seen at: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6apkns Notice the extremely casual attitude toward personnel safety displayed throughout the film.)

The V2, or Vergeltungswaffen 2 (also known as the A4, or Aggregat 4) was a ballistic missile with an empty weight of approximately 10,000 pounds (4,536 kilograms) and weighing 28,000 pounds (12,700 kilograms), fully loaded. It carried a 738 kilogram (1,627 pound) (sources vary) explosive warhead of amatol, a mixture of TNT and ammonium nitrate. The propellant was a 75/25 mixture of of ethanol and water with liquid oxygen as an oxidizer.
The complete rocket was 14.036 meters (46.050 feet) long, and had a maximum diameter of 1.651 meters (5.417 feet). The rocket was stabilized by four large fins, 4.035 meters (13.238 feet) long, with a maximum span of 3.564 meters (11.693 feet). The leading edge of these fins was swept 60°, and 3°. A small guide vane was at the outer tip of each fin, and other vanes were placed in the engine's exhaust plume.

When launched, the rocket engine burned for 65 seconds, accelerating the rocket to 3,580 miles per hour (5,760 kilometers per hour) on a ballistic trajectory. The maximum range of the rocket was 200 miles (320 kilometers) with a peak altitude between 88 and 128 miles (142–206 kilometers), depending on the desired range. On impact, the rocket was falling at 1,790 miles per hour (2,880 kilometers per hour), about Mach 2.35, so its approach would have been completely silent in the target area.
The V-2 could only hit a general area and was not militarily effective. Germany used it against England, France, The Netherlands and Belgium as a terror weapon. More than 3,200 V-2 rockets were launched against these countries.

As World War II came to and end, the Allies captured many partially-completed missiles, as well as components and parts. Sufficient parts and materiel and been transferred from Germany to construct more than one hundred V-2 rockets for testing at White Sands. No missiles were received in flyable condition. Over a five year period, there were 67 successful launches, but it is considered that as much knowledge was gained from failures as successes.
Along with the rockets, many German engineers and scientists surrendered or were captured by the Allies. Under Operation Paperclip, Wernher von Braun and many other scientists, engineers and technicians were brought to the United States to work with the U.S. Army's ballistic missile program at Fort Bliss, Texas, White Sands Proving Grounds, New Mexico, and the Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama.

Tests of the V-2 rockets led to the development of U.S. rockets for the military and NASA's space program. A NASA article states,
"The contribution that the V-2 made to guided missile technology is immeasurable. In general, the program provided training for men in the handling and firing of large missiles, experiments directly concerned with design of future missiles, operational tests of future missile components, and experience in collecting upper atmosphere and ballistic data."

23 March 1912: Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun, rocket engineer, was born at Wyrzysk, Province of Posen, in the German Empire, in what is now Poland. He was the second of three children of Magnus Alexander Maximillian von Braun, head of the Posen provincial government, and Emmy Melitta Cécile von Quistorp.

Wernher von Braun originally wanted to be a musician and composer, having learned to play the cello and piano at an early age. After reading a speculative book on space flight, though, his interests shifted.
In 1929, the 17-year-old von Braun joined Verein für Raumschiffahrt, the German rocketry association. He worked with Hermann Oberth in testing liquid-fueled rockets, based on successful rockets designed by Dr. Robert H. Goddard in the United States.

Von Braun graduated from Technische Hochschule Berlin in 1932, with a degree in mechanical engineering (Diplom-Ingenieur). Two years later, he received a doctorate in physics (Dr. phil.) at Friederich-Wilhelm University of Berlin. He also studied at ETH Zürich.
In Germany before World War II, Dr.-Ing. von Braun worked on the problems of liquid-fueled rockets and developed the Aggregat series of rockets, including the A4, which would become known as the V-2 (Vergeltungswaffe 2) military rocket. The German Army's Ordnance Department gave von Braun a grant to further study liquid-fueled rockets, which he pursued at an artillery range at Kummersdorf, just south of Berlin
As rocketry work expanded, the tests were eventually moved to the Peenemünde Military Test Site on the island of Usedom on the Baltic coast, where von Braun was technical director under Colonel Dr. Ing. Walter R. Dornberger.

As World War II in Europe came to a close and the collapse of Nazi Germany was imminent, von Braun had to choose between being captured by the Soviet Red Army or by the Allies. He surrendered to the 324th Infantry Regiment, 44th Infantry Division, United States Army in the Bavarian Alps, 2 May 1945.

In 1950, von Braun and his team were sent to Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama, where they worked on more advanced rockets. The first production rocket was the short-range ballistic missile, the SSM-A-14 Redstone, which was later designated PGM-11. This rocket was capable of carrying a 3.8 megaton W39 warhead approximately 200 miles (322 kilometers) The first Redstone was launched at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, 20 August 1953.

Modified Redstone MRLV rockets were used to launch the first Mercury spacecraft with NASA astronauts Alan Shepherd and Gus Grissom. Von Braun later worked on the U.S. Army's Jupiter-A intermediate range ballistic missile. A modified Jupiter-C was used to launch Explorer 1, the United States' first satellite.

In 1960 von Braun and his team were transferred from the Army Ballistic Missile Agency to NASA's new Marshall Space Flight Center at Redstone Arsenal. He was now able to pursue his original interest, manned flight into space. Work proceeded on the Saturn rocket series, which were intended to lift heavy payloads into Earth orbit. This resulted in the Saturn A, Saturn B and the Saturn C series, ultimately becoming the Saturn V moon rocket.

The traffic chaos in Imphal is yet another picture of how successful Manipur has been in grappling and taming modernity. Apart from all else, the issue is also about a certain preparedness of mindset that must accompany the transition into the modern. Unfortunately, this is another area where the state seems to be failing miserably. Exaggerated images of modernity that flood in, mostly through multi-channelled satellite television and internet, are being too literally interpreted and absorbed, unfortunately in the absence of a filtering mechanism that only education as well as local cultures, shaped by generations of contextual experience, can provide. Hence the wild car chases, unremitting violence and other deviant cultures which are meant more as entertainment than actual reflection of the reality of a modern Western society are being mimicked blindly in the belief that this is part of modernity. What is not given heed to, and perhaps there is little chance for the ordinary citizenry here to, considering the extremely limited exposures they have had to the outside world, are also the accompanying realities of these images of modernity – that in modern societies these lifestyles are moderated by unwritten norms as well as established rules of law. Few or nobody in the best of the developed world, therefore would break a queue, or jump lanes (except perhaps in extreme emergencies) at the cost of causing inconveniences to others.
A research finding by two American economists, Raymond Fisman and Edward Miguel, a report of which IFP reproduced from an American newspaper some years ago, was interesting in this regard. The researchers simply documented the number of traffic bookings of diplomatic cars outside the United Nations building in New York. Being covered by diplomatic immunity, these cars of course were merely issued a reprimand card and let off, but the pattern that emerged of the nations that the booked cars belonged to, was revealing. Not a single car from Scandinavian countries, Japan, South Korea, negligible from other northern European countries, a few from some southern European countries. The bulk of them were from Africa, Latin America and South Asia. Indian diplomatic cars were also among the better disciplined ones unlike Pakistan or Afghanistan. At the diplomatic level, Indians are more rule observing than drivers on the streets of Delhi and Kolkata, it seems. The conclusion of the article was that culture matters tremendously. That even if it is in the dead of the night when nobody is watching, somebody from Sweden is unlikely to park in front of a water hydrant or on a bridge, simply because respect for traffic norms is ingrained so deep that it has become akin to a value of modern dignified living.
A look at the Imphal traffic any day of the week would establish the graceless terms by which even the affluent, and by that virtue better educated sections of the society, have come to understand and internalise modernity, development and indeed democracy. People park their cars anywhere, even on top of bridges and at difficult corners; although traffic jams have become unavoidable because of an unprecedented increase in the number of cars on the roads, they are made impossibly worse by drivers trying to overtake queues and wriggle past the jams. The often cited quality of democracy which demands of everybody to give up a little bit of their freedoms so that the aggregate of everybody's sacrifice can give freedom to everybody (as for instance by respecting a car queue in a traffic jam so that everybody can pass as smoothly as possible) is thrown into the winds. Instead nobody is bothered about damning everybody else as long as they get the most out of the situation. It goes without saying that the absence of the law in the matter has not helped one bit. Rash driving has ceased to be a punishable offence; there are no markers to indicate where U-turns can be made with the result that everybody turns at their convenience and not that fellow drivers on the roads, or that of the law; lane markers, zebra crossing, etc, are today a distant memory. Here is another example how an "absence" has itself become the law, but the only problem is that it is the law of the jungle. Modernity it seems has backfired on a population and a government unprepared for it. The result is near absolute chaos. The traffic metaphor can be extended to every other walk of life and issue of governance to get more glimpses of Manipur's sinking modernity project.


Hello Friends! I wanted to share about interactive story book apps and add some of our favorites to our growing lists of good reads we've found along our way. The kids are a bit older since my last post but recently we were remembering favorite stories together. My daughter noted some interactive story book apps that we used to enjoy. We downloaded them again to our Kindle. They were still fun to listen to and click around on that we looked to see if our favorite had any new storybooks to download. If you are looking for entertaining and interactive story book apps here's what we have liked best.
First up is IckyPen's Mr. Icky Fox stories were an instant favorite. The story lines are short and simple but the art work and the ways to interactive are fantastically fun! There are four available but their Facebook page indicated a little bit ago that they have been working on something new. The first we downloaded was The Icky Mr. Fox and quickly wanted more. We have since added Icky Mr. Fox's Rainbow, Missing Friend, and Icky Animal Alphabet. They range in price from free to $1.99.
The Trip Little Critter Reading Adventure, was another favorite. Sadly it looks like it is no longer available. Many of the other 'Little Critter' storybooks by Mercer Mayer are available to download but they are not very interactive, more just read along. The Trip, had route decisions you could make, you searched for and collected items. This is what we are looking for in interactive storybooks.
I took sometime and did a quick search and tested out a few books that came up when I did a search for interactive storybooks. I continued to not find many options but I did like were Sandra Boyton's book apps. There's a fair amount of animation that you can create with a tap on the different pages. They have that whimsical, and engaging quality that we are looking for. I downloaded the free collection of books to try out. You can download a couple different individual stories too.
I think interactive storybooks are a fun way to enjoy a story. I really wish there were more readily available and easy to find.
If you have found any that you love please add in the comments below!

Grand Forks Red River looks forward to rematch with Century at state soccer tournament
Riders take No. 2 seed from the East into this weekend's state tournament.

By Maxwell Marko
On the heels of a 9-2-3 record and runner-up finish in the Eastern Dakota Conference during the regular season, Grand Forks Red River now heads into the state tournament to take on reigning champion Bismarck Century in the first round.
It's the Riders' best overall record since the 2016 season when they captured the No. 4 seed. They would not qualify for the next three years. Now they have the No. 2 seed in the East and have momentum.
"It's a pretty remarkable feat. There were several times, in the back of our heads we want to be a state championship team, but we also have to enjoy the process along the way of being one of the best teams Red River has ever put forward," Red River head coach Luke Glasoe said.
The main power behind the Roughriders' success this year has been Gannon Brooks. The senior has potted 15 goals and added eight assists all while routinely playing a full 80 minutes a night.
Behind him, though, remains a strong cast that has pushed harder when Brooks becomes the attraction of double, sometimes triple, teams. Junior Lukas Heydt scored six on the year, senior Trevor Olderbak shared three of his own, while defenders Ethan Dockter and Gabriel Birchler have provided a solid line of support in front of keeper Brady Price.
Adding effective ball movers like Amit Rasaily and Ahmed Hassan on top of that and there is a danger up and down the Red River roster.
"The best thing we have going for us is our depth. The 22 guys we'll be taking this weekend, they'll all have different skill sets," Glasoe said. "To have a bench as deep as we have, it doesn't matter who we go against we're going to have somebody in our varsity program that we can put out there that's going to match up really nicely with who we're going up against."
However, WDA power Century, 8-3-2 in conference play, has its share of firepower to deal with.
Brooks Turner matched Brooks' goal total this season with 15, but not far behind him was Anthony Cleary with 12. Cleary also added 11 assists, while Chance Bowlinger had four goals and 13 assists.
Needless to say, the Patriots are confident in their depth as well.
The Roughriders have been a sound defensive team this year, though. They have limited the opposition on numerous occasions, including two of the best teams in the state in Minot and Fargo Davies.
"We haven't conceded very many goals this year, so I feel pretty confident in both our goalkeeping and our defenders. We can withstand some tough offenses. Minot came here earlier this year, we only gave up three to them and they're the best in the West. Davies, being the best in the East, three is about as many as they can score on us," Glasoe said.
The two squads should be quite familiar with each other, seeing as how they faced off in the first round of the last state tournament as well. Red River's 2-0 lead quickly vanished in the final eight minutes and the Patriots would go on to advance via the overtime shootout.
It was tough for Glasoe and the Roughriders to bounce back from that, but they managed to put together a solid season and now the hope is to seek revenge. Glasoe, though, still wants his group to truly appreciate what it has accomplished this year, nonetheless.
"Kids don't forget these moments. I'm hoping these kids will savor their moments while they are there," he said.
Century and Red River begin their state quarterfinal match Thursday at 2:15 p.m.
