Which of these stanzas from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe represents the speaker's desire to be free from his sorrow and memories of Lenore? 1. Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken, "Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only stock and store, Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore— Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore Of 'Never—nevermore.'" . . . 2. Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor. "Wretch," I cried, "thy God hath lent thee—by these angels he hath sent thee Respite—respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore! Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!" Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore." . . . 3. "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil! By that Heaven that bends above us—by that God we both adore— Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn, It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore— Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore." Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
Answer: 2
Explanation: Although the second and third options mention Lenore, only the second option contains the essential words respite, which means rest, relief, and nepenthe, a mythological drug or antidote for sorrowful memories, which the speaker explicitly expects to drink (quaff) to "forget this lost Lenore."
Read the excerpt from The Dark Game. Arthur Zimmermann had no idea that "Blinker" Hall had read his secret message. But now that Hall had read it, what could he do with this information? On one hand, he believed that President Wilson, faced with the information in the telegram, would declare war on Germany. On the other hand, to share the telegram with Wilson would surely alert Berlin that the British had been reading their secret messages. As he walked back to his office, Hall considered ways that he could share the intelligence in the Zimmermann telegram and establish its authenticity without letting Berlin know that Room 40 had intercepted and read hundreds of their secret messages. Why was Hall concerned that the Germans would learn about the British reading their secret messages? -The Germans would begin reading British secret messages to get revenge. -Reading an enemy's secret messages is against the codes of war. -The Germans would then find a different way of transmitting their messages.
Hall was concerned that the Germans would learn about the British reading their secret messages because The Germans would then find a different way of transmitting their messages.
In this excerpt from "The Dark Game: True Spy Stories from Invisible Ink to CIA Moles", by Paul B. Janeczko, Hall doesn't want to let the Germans know he has read Zimmerman's secret message. The British had gone through many troubles to intercept German messages, and understand their meaning. They cannot risk this crucial achievement.

The narrator could not find Fortunato when he needed him.

Read the excerpt below from act 3.2 of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and answer the question that follows. BRUTUS: But as he was ambitious, I slew him. . . . Who is here so base that would be a bondman? If any, speak, for him have I offended. Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman? If any, speak, for him have I offended. Who is here so vile that will not love his country? If any, speak, for him have I offended. I pause for a reply. Which rhetorical device does Brutus use in this excerpt? a. antithesis b. paralipsis c. epimone d. metonymy
I reckon that rhetorical device that William Shakespeare used in Brutus' public speech is a nice example of epimone. Because during this excerpt you can see how Brutus appeals to the listeners by repeating the phrase ''If any, speak, for him have I offended.'' which is a direct significance on the epimone that is considered to be the most used in Shakespeare's works. Epimone is figure that uses by orator to bring his point in crowd by repetition of the idea in the same words.
Which of the following is an example of adapting messages to others? a. attending a sign language class b. a student reading a passage to the class c. a counselor listening to his patient d. a mom talking to her toddler using simpler words
d. a mom talking to her toddler using simpler words
Adapting messages to others is when the way the message is delivered is changed based on the audience. In option D, the mother has a specific message she wants her toddler to understand, but she will not use the same language for a child as she would for a teenager or an adult. The message has been adapted to account for the toddler's age. In option A, attending a sign language class does not necessarily mean that you're adapting a message, just using a different means to send the message. Also, attending the class doesn't mean you're actually using sign language. Option B would not have an adapted message because the student is reading the passage word for word. Option C, the counselor is not adapting a message because he is receiving the message.
Within the concentration camp wiesel sees a sign with what ironic message
Within the concentration camp , wiesel sees a sign that said : WARNING ! DANGER OF DEATH
This message is really ironic since most people that were gathered within the concentration camp were the subject of the Gas Chamber or other mass murder methods.
Which of these stanzas from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe represents the speaker's desire to be free from his sorrow and memories of Lenore? Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken, "Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only stock and store, Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore— Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore Of 'Never—nevermore.'" . . . Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor. "Wretch," I cried, "thy God hath lent thee—by these angels he hath sent thee Respite—respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore! Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!" Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore." . . . "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil! By that Heaven that bends above us—by that God we both adore— Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn, It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore— Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore." Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
"Then, methought, the air grew denser,...Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
The stanzas from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe that represent the speaker's desire to be free from his sorrow and memories of Lenore are stated above. The narrator is mourning for the death of his beloved Lenore. A raven is sitting at the bust of Pallas above his chamber door. In these stanzas, the narrator asks the raven if some angels have sent him to rid him from his sorrow. This is stated in the word respite that means rest or pause of something unpleasant and the word nepenthe that alludes to forgetfulness.

3. Have a message point that is being brought to life
When speaking to an audience, the purpose is to convey a message, whatever it is, and however it is delivered, therefore, to have a message point that is being brought to life is essential
4. Delivering a message to her audience
When a professional storyteller tells stories, they usually do it in order to express a message, whether explicitly or implicitly. The story is not told just because, it has a purpose
5. Communicating a message
A communicator main's goal is to communicate a message regardless of the means used: a story, an activity that involves interacting with people, audiovisual materials, a short artistic performance, etc.
6. All stories should have a beginning and an end
With the resolution, people get the whole message. Without it, the story would be incomplete
7. False
The richness of stories lies in their diversity and variations of plots, characters, settings, resolutions and endings, and how they appeal to the readers so they get involved in the story, whether it is a sad or a happy story
8. The synthesis of everything you have been saying
In speeches, lots of pieces of information or ideas are given, and although they may seem disconnected to each other at first, they all actually are related to each other. To see the full picture, to do a synthesis of everything you are saying is key to understand the speech as a whole
9. When telling a story during a presentation, it is imperative that you take time to describe the setting
To understand the context where the story takes place helps the audience to be more involved in what it is being said, and to understand the character's intentions, and other elements of the story
10. It makes things less abstract and more memorable
With a vivid description of a physical setting, the plot of the story becomes more meaningful and clearer, and thus it appeals to the audience and makes it more memorable
11. Hope that everything turns out OK
This inevitably depends on the content of the speech, the audience, and other factors. But in all cases, a good or positive attitude during the speech, such as to "hope that everything turns out OK" will help you go more easily
12. It makes it more interesting for your audience, and they will be able to relate to it better
When we personalize, we focus on the audience's characteristic (age, profession, likes, feelings, etc.) rather than in general or abstract matters to convey the story, for example, we may use certain vocabulary when speaking to a group of teenager and other words when speaking to people on his 40s, similarly, we may choose to tell a story and not other depending on the audience. This way, the story becomes more meaningful and interesting for the audience, and thus, they will be able to relate to it better
13. False
A communicator's goal is to communicate a message, therefore, they aim to clarify or explain ideas, and lead the abstract behind
14. Statistics
Statistics is a great source of information to show credibility to your point, as they are based on studies and not subjective opinions
15. More interesting
From all the given options, this is the one that fits the best. A new character introduced in a dialogue may bring many things to the dialogue, from a different point of view, or idea, to the support of one point already established. All characters try to bring something to the story, and therefore, through their participation, the story can become more interesting
16. True
When you speak in dialogue, you are the main protagonists, you control what the characters say, you decide where to lead the story, in short, you become an all-powerful narrator
17. Change the tone of your voice
By making this change, the audience quickly understands that you are reproducing somebody else' thoughts or words, without needing any further explication of what you are doing. Besides, the performance becomes more dynamic
18. Understand how you feel about events you experience
To express one's thoughts and emotions openly, people may get the feeling that whatever your saying is genuine, and is true to you, and may understand you and your experiences better and may engage more in the speech
19. Forget what you are talking about
All the first three options are right, however, to forget what you are talking about may be the biggest drawback of them all because if you lose track of what you are saying or trying to communicate, the message would be lost, and you would not accomplish your main goal which it's to convey the message
Without passion, it is very unlikely that you appeal to people's emotions and convey that what you are saying is relevant, important and practical
21. Have a personal connection to the joke
The best way to say a joke is to be authentic with it and to feel related to it because this will let the joke flow effortlessly
Using humor may be seen as a technique to make a point, it is a means to your ultimate goal: the message

Wells' The War of the Worlds, and answer the question that follows: The secular cooling that must someday overtake our planet has already gone far indeed with our neighbour. Its physical condition is still largely a mystery, but we know now that even in its equatorial region the midday temperature barely approaches that of our coldest winter. Its air is much more attenuated than ours, its oceans have shrunk until they cover but a third of its surface, and as its slow seasons change huge snowcaps gather and melt about either pole and periodically inundate its temperate zones. That last stage of exhaustion, which to us is still incredibly remote, has become a present-day problem for the inhabitants of Mars. Which of the following details comes from supporting evidence?

My mom once said that she was at her wits' end by the time I turned 13 years old. The truth was that I had become insecure, and I hid from my fears by pretending to be too "bored" to do any real work. That was when my parents signed me up for stage classes. Acting and singing not only showed me my true potential, they taught me an essential fact: life is a team effort, and we all have different skills that we use together to make progress. Through lessons, sweat, and tears, my experience of working in musical theatre has helped me become the well-rounded adult I am today. I am forever thankful to my parents for not giving up on me and for sending me to classes! Which of the following parts of an essay is the section in bold most likely an example of? supporting evidence hook topic sentence conclusion

Which theme does Leo Tolstoy explore in this excerpt from The Death of Ivan Ilyich? "Then what does it mean? Why? It can't be that life is so senseless and horrible. But if it really has been so horrible and senseless, why must I die and die in agony? There is something wrong! "Maybe I did not live as I ought to have done," it suddenly occurred to him. "But how could that be, when I did everything properly?" he replied, and immediately dismissed from his mind this, the sole solution of all the riddles of life and death, as something quite impossible. A.) Humans are shortsighted and inconsiderate toward others. B.) Love is unpredictable and can be used to fulfill selfish needs. C.) Human mortality is inevitable, and it is important to live an authentic life. D.) Materialistic minded people cannot change no matter how difficult life becomes.
The correct answer is C.) Human mortality is inevitable, and it is important to live an authentic life.
Indeed, Ivan thinks he has lived a rightful life, a life where he has behaved honorably and has risen in society to a position of some wealth and influence. However, his wife does not love him and is completely self-centered. His daughter shows the exact same attitude and only his son does show some compassion.
The only person he feels some kind of warmth from is, Gerasim, his peasant servant boy who keeps him company as he is lying on his deathbed. Gerasim also does not share his fear of death due to his Christian faith and his detachment from the materialism of life since he is quite destitute and death would be a liberation.
Ivan discovers through Gerasim's example that he has lived a materialistic shallow life; a life of conformity to societal norms. He realizes that the only way a life can be authentic is to show compassion and sympathy for other human beings.
Which two of these excerpts from Homer's Odyssey depict the gods' involvement in mortal affairs? 1"But, tell me who thou art? and what thy race? Thy town, thy parents, and thy native place? Or, if a merchant in pursuit of gain, What port received thy vessel from the main? Or comest thou single, or attend thy train?" 2Then thus Minerva in Laertes' ear: "Son of Arcesius, reverend warrior, hear! Jove and Jove's daughter first implore in prayer, Then, whirling high, discharge thy lance in air." 3Cylenius now to Pluto's dreary reign Conveys the dead, a lamentable train! The golden wand, that causes sleep to fly, Or in soft slumber seals the wakeful eye, That drives the ghosts to realms of night or day, Points out the long uncomfortable way. 4Now sat Ulysses at the rural feast The rage of hunger and of thirst repress'd: To watch the foe a trusty spy he sent: A son of Dolius on the message went, Stood in the way, and at a glance beheld The foe approach, embattled on the field.
I am pretty sure about the second excerpt, it directly shows gods' involvement in mortal affairs
Then thus Minerva in Laertes' ear:"Son of Arcesius, reverend warrior, hear!Jove and Jove's daughter first implore in prayer,Then, whirling high, discharge thy lance in air."
And I believe that the next correct answer is
"But, tell me who thou art? and what thy race?
Thy town, thy parents, and thy native place?
Or, if a merchant in pursuit of gain,
What port received thy vessel from the main?
Or comest thou single, or attend thy train?"

For all the talk from coffee professionals about how coffee is a science, there's not a lot of hard research, especially when it comes to espresso. Much of the received orthodoxy surrounding espresso is a random combination of tradition, hunches, and preferences handed down from barista to barista.
But a new piece of technology promises to usher in a golden age of enlightenment, in which espresso shots neither channel nor under-extract. Or perhaps more accurately, the machine promises to inform the user when channeling occurs, as well allowing for control and customization previously unavailable from an espresso machine. This miracle machine is the DE1+, from the rather modestly-named Decent Espresso. We caught up with Decent Espresso's founder John Buckman and asked him to explain the technology that has the coffee world buzzing.
Your new espresso machine, the DE1+, has been making waves at coffee trade shows around the globe. Exactly, what's so special about the Decent espresso machine?

Marc Murphy Bio
Chopped judge, Marc Murphy, as seen on Food Networks Chopped, Season 15.

David Lang, 2011, Television Food Network, G.P.
Ask Chef Marc Murphy where he grew up and he'll fire off a list of cosmopolitan destinations — Milan, Paris, Villefranche, Washington, D.C., Rome and Genoa — "and that's before I turned 12," he'll explain. This dizzying list of hometowns served as an excellent education in French and Italian cuisine, though as a teenager this was not his first passion. When the reality hit that he didn't have the funds to become a professional racecar driver, Marc followed his brother to the Institute of Culinary Education. After graduation he apprenticed at restaurants in France and Italy before returning to New York, where he landed a job as a line cook at Terrance Brennan's Prix Fixe. He stayed there for almost two years, working his way through every station in the kitchen and forging a professional bond with Brennan's Sous Chefs Joseph Fortunato and David Pasternak.
Eager to return to Europe, Marc flew to Paris and landed a position at the one-star Le Miraville, where he stayed for one-and-a-half years. Afterward, he staged at the famed Louis XV in Monte Carlo, where Executive Chef Alain Ducasse was so impressed with Marc's skills that he personally made arrangements for him to work with Sylvain Portay at Le Cirque once he returned to the States. Marc still considers Portay to be his greatest teacher. "Sylvain was above all concerned with coaxing out the most-vibrant, interesting flavors any ingredient had to offer, yet he insisted on minimal manipulation," he recalls. Following Le Cirque, Fortunato tapped him to work as a sous chef at Layla, Drew Nieporent's Middle Eastern fantasy in Tribeca, where he met consultant Georges Masraff. When Masraff joined forces to open Cellar in the Sky at Windows on the World, he recruited Marc to serve as executive chef. After receiving critical acclaim, including a two-star review from The New York Times, Marc headed uptown to serve as executive chef of La Fourchette, where NYT critic Ruth Reichl awarded him another glowing two-star review, citing his "open desire to transform food [so that] in his hands, even a simple green salad ... looks like a ruffled hat in a painting by Renoir."
In March 2004 Marc opened his first solo enterprise with Landmarc [Tribeca], which won rave reviews both for its eclectic French and Italian menu as well as its highly untraditional wine list. Following its success, Marc opened Ditch Plains in the West Village in 2006 serving casual, beach-style cuisine such as lobster rolls, fish tacos and the infamous ditch dog, as well as other comfort food favorites. In 2007 Marc was given the opportunity to open another Landmarc restaurant in the prestigious Time Warner Center, where he brought his bistro-style cuisine midtown. In October 2013 Marc opened Kingside at the Viceroy New York hotel on New York's iconic West 57th Street, serving his interpretation of New American cuisine. Marc's restaurants now fall under the Benchmarc Restaurants by Marc Murphy name, where he acts as executive chef and owner. In addition to the restaurants, Marc also heads up the company's catering division, Benchmarc Events by Marc Murphy, where his signature style of accessible contemporary cuisine transcends the boundaries of what is offered in his restaurant locations.
Today Marc's involvement in the industry moves beyond the restaurants as well, with a regular role as a judge on Food Network's top-rated hit Chopped as well as appearances on other hit series such as Guy's Grocery Games, Beat Bobby Flay and Worst Cooks in America. Marc also appears on The Rachael Ray Show and The Today Show, among others. He is the president of the Manhattan chapter of the New York State Restaurant Association, a board member of City Harvest, Culintro and Passport NYC at the 92nd Street Y Culinary Camp, as well as a member of the Food + Finance High School's Industry Advisory Board, a member of the Leadership Council for Share our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign and the national spokesperson for Share Our Strength's Dine Out For No Kid Hungry. In 2012 Marc joined the U.S. Department of State's Diplomatic Culinary Partnership, where he takes part in public diplomacy programs that engage foreign audiences abroad as well as those visiting the United States. Marc's first cookbook, Season with Authority: Confident Home Cooking, was released in 2015.

Amanda Freitag Bio
Amanda Freitag is a judge on Chopped, has battled Bobby Flay on Iron Chef America, and she competed for the title of America's Next Iron Chef. When she was growing up in New Jersey, Amanda's passion for food was fostered by everyone from her grandparents to her high school home economics teacher. They encouraged her to pursue a cooking career and to enroll at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y. After she graduated from culinary school, Amanda's first position in a New York City kitchen was as rotissier and garde manger at Vong under the guidance of Jean-Georges Vongerichten. It was there that she was introduced to marrying French technique with Southeast Asian ingredients and flavors. In 1994, Amanda began working with Chef Diane Forley at Verbena, where she rose quickly through the ranks to become the restaurant's chef de cuisine. Forley taught Amanda the importance of using local, organic ingredients and introduced her to the Union Square Greenmarket. During her time at Verbena, Amanda realized how much she had yet to learn about the culinary world, and in 1999 she traveled extensively through France and Italy to explore the bountiful markets and progressive restaurant scenes. While in Paris, she spent two weeks working under Chef Alain Passard at his venerable Arpège restaurant. While her time there was short, the lessons she learned were life-changing. At Arpège, Passard insisted on the freshest ingredients, so there was nothing left in the walk-in refrigerators at the end of service besides butter. This eye-opening experience helped Amanda to further develop her deep appreciation of superlative ingredients and the flavors of the Mediterranean region. Upon returning to New York, Amanda worked at some of the city's most-popular restaurants, including Cesca, where she cooked alongside Tom Valenti as his chef de cuisine and earned two stars from The New York Times. Following Cesca, Amanda accepted the position of executive chef at Gusto in the West Village, where her food was met with critical acclaim. In January 2008, Amanda took over as the executive chef at The Harrison in Tribeca. Over the three years that she helmed the kitchen, The Harrison received numerous accolades from local and national media, including a two-star review from The New York Times. Amanda's first cookbook, The Chef Next Door: A Pro Chef's Recipes for Fun, Fearless Home Cooking, was released in September 2015. When she is not in the kitchen, Amanda enjoys traveling the world and collecting restaurant menus to add to her ever-growing collection.

any idea on the name of the pattern???
Thread: any idea on the name of the pattern???
My MDG was the one who inspired me to sew, craft and eventually quilt. Attached is a picture of a quilt sent to me by one of my schoolmates. She thought MDG had given it to her. Based on the stitching and finishing, I am positive she did. She made "covers" not quilts for most of her life. The only pieced parts are the green/red & white dot arch, the area where a blue piece joins another and finally the piecing to the brown inner part. I don't know what the pattern is. The batting is OLD cotton batt and when held up to light there are areas of empty space. A lot of missing stitches and the like, rust, other stains and seems to be thin fabric for the backing- very pale pink.
Is this similar to a wedding ring? except with rectangles instead of squares in the red dot and green????
Thanks Tiggersmom! Here is one I found after seeing your post and is similar in the arch part.
yes it has to be a wedding ring. i started one, still haven't finished and it called for triangles on the ends of the pieced arcs. they form a diamond when put together like the light blue in your photo.
Nativetexan, that is beautiful fabric! Hope you will finish it, great color choices. After much thought on this quilt and seeing the condition, I decided to take it apart and try repairing the top. As it turns out, the already thin fabric was so worn in some areas that I decided to cut a 30" square to get a full ring. Even that came apart but I did get it on the design wall. Hoping it will inspire me to make a DWR in honor of my grandmother. I took lots of pics before I cut so I can include those in my quilt history book.
Can you at least frame a piece of that old quilt? It is sooooo pretty.
Sad, I found a DWR quilt top in my stash of stuff, this last couple weeks, Don't know where it came from! It is all hand stitched blocks, very old fabric, the blocks are not put together so that it lays flat... I have no idea how to rescue it, someone put lots of work into it, but I think it will be a total loss... wanted to post a picture of it but the camera on my laptop is doing something crazy!

The other purifies water from streams and ponds—perfect for hikers and campers. The cap is rechargeable and compatible with many reusable bottles. —By Simmone Shah
High-Tech Tutor
Robots have always fascinated Van Robotics CEO Laura Boccanfuso. But she felt most were too expensive and technical for real-life use. So she developed ABii. It's a robot tutor that helps kids learn math and reading. Many students are learning from home because of the coronavirus pandemic. "Schools more than ever need individualized learning help," Boccanfuso says. ABii comes with lessons created by teachers. It uses a camera to detect changes in a student's attention. Then it adjusts its approach for individual learners. —By Nadia Suleman
Taking Notes
In 2013, Magnus Wanberg noticed his colleagues taking notes on paper instead of on laptops and phones. "Why hasn't anyone replaced paper with technology?" he wondered. This led him to make the reMarkable paper tablet. The note-taking device converts handwriting into digital text. Released in 2016, its thin design mimics paper. Now, Wanberg has made the reMarkable 2. At less than a quarter-inch thick, the device is 30% skinnier than the original. Its battery can go two weeks per charge. —By Mariah Espada

DML 1/72 Challenger 2 w/Bar Armour Kit First Look
By Cookie Sewell
Challenger 2 w/Bar Armour
150 parts (126 parts in grey styrene, 20 etched brass, 4 DS plastic)
Improved version of original kit; modern armor arrays newly done
Bar armor array not full convincing
the latest "fad" among armored vehicle designers – bar armor. All major countries are now looking to it, and the US, UK, Russia and China actually field vehicles carrying it.
Bar armor – also called slat armor, grille armor or the truly unique Chinese name of "boom shields" – is a simple idea whose origins go back to WWII when shaped charge explosive weapons fired at low velocities began to proliferate. The main threat to the Western countries came from the "Panzerfaust" weapons, and those of the Germans were the PIAT, bazooka and other similar weapons. The concept is simple: put lightweight (relatively speaking) steel slats on the sides of the vehicle spaced out to the nominal optimum standoff distance for the shaped charge and either detonate it prematurely or cause its warhead to be crushed and rendered useless between the bars. As such, the bars are 50 to 100 mm wide and spaced about 60-70 mm apart (most weapons of this type are from 73 to 152 mm in diameter.)
The Chinese offer their "boom shields" as options on all tanks from the Type 59D onward; they were first encountered in Iraq during Desert Storm in 1991. The Russians now mount and use them on various vehicles, having tested their original concepts in Afghanistan and fielded them in Chechnya. The US and UK have created sets for use with their vehicles in Iraq, and right now at least the UK Warrior and US Stryker vehicles there mount full sets.
The Challenger 2 is a natural for this sort of protection, for it provides very good protection against RPG and ATGM fire for relatively little weight. (The Stryker kit weighs about 2.5 metric tons.) As a result it is used to protect the most vulnerable parts of the tank, namely the hull and turret rear areas where the armor is thinnest. A very good explanation and show of these items has appeared in recent issues of "Military Modelling" with Dick Taylor covering Warrior and Peter Brown the Challenger 2s.
This again is the reworked DML kit with "slide molded" components and DS plastic tracks. The latter should be appreciated as they are more flexible and since they take normal plastic cements also easier to install and paint; also this particular kit now includes DS plastic tow cables. This is a good idea as they are flexible, highly detailed but easy to paint and attach (more in the other scales, please!)
While the hull still comes with the original screw attachment holes and mounts, the parts now simply cement together. It now comes with modified uparmored skirts less the ground-length dust covers, applique armor for the glacis and the bow, and the TIP armor panels for the sides of the turret. The "4x8 plywood" ones for the turret glacis are not included, but I am not sure if they go on the variant modeled.
The model comes with hatches that can be positioned open or closed, but again the driver's hatch opens onto one of the screw holes. Note that the direction arrows STILL show the cover (part A38) cementing into the screw hole; most modelers will figure that one out in a hurry, but I do wonder why DML didn't correct their original error?
The kit now includes the modified armor panels and arrays for the modifications needed to mount the bar armor. The bar armor array is all etched brass, including its mounts, and requires bending and folding. The main turret and hull armor arrays are single parts and therefore make assembly a bit easier, but they are very thin and very fragile so a great deal of care will be required. (If you don't have a "Hold and Fold," "Etch-Mate," or "Fender Bender" getting good bends in parts this thin and this large will be problematic.)
The one major problem is that the actual bar armor arrays are about 3/16" of an inch thick and about 2" deep; while smaller and thinner than the other countries' arrays, this is a near impossibility to accurately reproduce in 1/72 scale. The bars thus have no depth to them, and it is doubtful many modelers will go through the misery of gluing 0.010" square strip to each bar to give the impression of depth. The result is a pleasing look only when viewed broadside on, as the rest of the views show them to be far too simple and too thin. Having just done a model of a T-72B with "Reshyetka" grille armor arrays, I can sympathize with DML's plight as I had to opt the other direction, using slightly overscale thickness in 1/35 scale to get sufficient durability.
Still, DML should be commended for this, as few other kits with any sort of bar armor have shown up over the years. There are several for the Chinese "boom shields" to fit to T-54 or T-55 type tanks, and at least two have been advertised for the new Stryker kits. All are etched brass as well, and all require soldering skills for clean assembly.
The kit does come with a small decal sheet, but only one recommended paint scheme for the Royal Dragoon Guards Armour Regiment in Poland, 2006. However, the only vehicle known to be fitted with this armor right now is the one photographed by Peter Brown at the ACTU at Bovington, so I cannot verify the accuracy of the claims. (The model does match with Peter's photos, however.)
Overall I think DML has made a game effort of it and that most modelers will be pleased with the kit as provided.
Thanks to DML for the review sample.

The monthly BNRP meeting was held at the Workforce Development Center.Those attending were Board members Jeff Turner, Nancy Turner, Anne Parker, and Curtis Newsome. Bobby Turner, Felice Hancock, and John Bunch were also in attendance.
Curtis opened the meeting by asking that John Bunch read the minutes of the previous meeting. Following that, Jeff pointed out that Maggie's last name may not be spelled correctly and he would check into it. With the fact that the possible misspelling would be corrected when checked into, Curtis asked for the motion to adopt the minutes. Jeff Turner made the motion to adopt, seconded by Nancy Turner, and passed by a vote.
Curtis then asked for the Treasurer's Report, which given by Nancy, showed expenses for the month of September to be $945.12, revenue being $3100.00, and leaving a balance of $21,663.87.
Curtis asked Bobby to give the membership report and he reported that the membership remained unchanged from last month at 105.
9/13 Meeting with Franklin City Manager Randy Martin. Discussed possible Bogart retention pond trash boom deployment. Mr. Martin seemed to like the concept I presented. As of this date 10/11 nothing has been done.
Toured Solenis manufacturing plant outside of Franklin. Thanks to Plant Manager Scott Thompson for the fantastic tour of the facility and dinner.
9/16 Sent BNRP Grant acceptance letters to Franklin Garden Club and the VMNH.
Three day patrol Blackwater below Franklin; trash not too bad, no water quality issues.
9/21 Three day patrol Nottoway below Delaware, no trash, no water quality issues other than stagnate water due to lack of rain.
10/6 Two day patrol Blackwater below Franklin. Water stagnant, light trash. Investigated alligator weed reported by Byron Carmean at the power line crossing behind the Pretlow Farm. Alligator weed is a non-native aquatic plant species that is a river killer. I found a 10x 8 patch of the weed at that location 3 years ago and sent pictures around but nobody knew what it was and it was forgotten. It has now already grown rapidly at this location to about a football field size. DCR Darren Loomis has been notified. I have pledged the resources of the BNRP to help if needed with a reminder to Mr. Loomis there is a finite timetable the BNRP can help monetarily. Since the Blackwater River is a Virginia designated Scenic River I would hope the state and DCR would take action on this quickly to try to contain it. The weed should be strayed now for the first treatment before winter, then again in the spring when new growth emerges. I have also contacted DEQ, VDGIF,TNC. I also wrote DCR's Director Clyde Cristman and explained the urgency of this issue.
10/10 Received a message from Maggie Paggles at Solenis that an oil sheen was on the Nottoway upstream from their outfall. They believe it was from a boat spill at the boat landing or possibly oil wash from the rain off of the boat ramp parking lot since it did not originate from Solenis.
Do we need to send out membership letters in the near future explaining the BNRP dissolution, so that membership reups/donations would not continue to come in? After a little discussion, Jeff said that he would draft a letter to be sent out following the upcoming banquet.
Felice Hancock brought up that she had a Show and Tell for the group and passed out a sliced piece of fruit that showed a star formation in its center and asked if anyone knew what it was. It was an Oriental/Japanese Persimmon. She then gave one to each person for us to try later on.
John Bunch brought in some blooming Creeping Bladderwort to show everyone, explaining that it is a carnivorous plant and how it catches its prey by using the small bladders along its roots.
Following that, Curtis adjourned the meeting.


We've got a fantastic couple of days racing in store at HQ which kicks off this Friday with several Group races including the Group 1 contest that is the Fillies Mile. Won last year by the impressive Laurens this mile long contest has thrown up a fiercely competitive renewal this time around with several horses battling it out at the top of the market for favouritism. The Aidan O'Brien trained Hermosa (3/1) just seems to head affairs at the moment, she comes here off the back of a comfortable success in Group 3 company the last day before finishing a solid third in the Group 1 Moyglare on her penultimate start. A solid contender for powerhouse connections and the mount of Donnacha O'Brien. Aidan O'Brien is also represented here by Zagitova (5/1) who was only just behind her stablemate in the Moyglare when finishing fourth and looks a smart sort herself. A live contender here with Seamie Heffernan on board.
Pretty Pollyanna (4/1) confirmed herself as one of the best fillies over six furlongs this term with a dominant display on the July course here in Group 2 company before going on to win the Group 1 Prix Morny over in France. She did however fall short when last seen here in the Cheveley Park and will need to bounce back if to feature here as well as proving herself over this longer trip. Danny Tudhope takes the ride for Michael Bell. The exciting filly that is Antonio De Vega (9/2) is set to take her place here and comes here boasting an unbeaten record following a second successive win the last day, this time in Group 3 company at Goodwood. Her partnership is once renewed with Harry Bentley here. Another horse who comes into this with an unbeaten record is the John Gosden trained Shambolic (9/1). She's won two lesser contests and will need to take a rather sizeable step up here but the limits to her potential for this top yard are still unknown and she has the services of Frankie Dettori here.
The Godolphin representative here comes in the form of Beyond Reason (11/1) for Charlie Appleby and William Buick. She was behind both the O'Brien trained duo when last seen and has a bit of work to do should she reverse that form but she has won a Group 2 and Group 3 this year over in France. She's certainly not ruled out here and could well enter each way calculations. The two that make up the field here at large prices are Layaleena (25/1) for Sir Michael Stoute and Iridessa (33/1) for Joseph O'Brien.
An extremely competitive affair of which a case can be made for a lot of the field. Either of the O'Brien duo could take it as both look solid contenders. Pretty Pollyanna is a very smart sort and has more than enough ability to win this however the negatives seem to be the unknown over the trip and the below par run last time here. Shambolic has bundles of potential however the negative for her is that this is a markedly big step up in Grade. Beyond Reason could have place claims on the form of her two Group success however the negative for her is that she's more exposed and has already finished behind a couple of today's rivals. I've sided with ANTONIO DE VEGA here. She could well be anything and despite having to step up again, I think she could well just do that over this slightly longer trip.

Colin's mom hires painters to paint his bedroom. The company she calls recommends that she hire two women who happen to be deaf. The company explains that she can call a relay service to book the painters for the job, and she does. Heather and Molly come to Colin's house. They are the first deaf people he has met, and they communicate with him by writing on a pad of paper and using gestures. The painters spend the day painting his room blue. At the end of the day they start chatting – signing – as they paint the white trim. Without realizing it they speckle the blue walls with white paint. Heather and Molly are upset when they realize their mistake, but when Colin comes into the room he loves the effect and they decide to keep it that way.

February 29, 2016 - Tom Acitelli	In March 1996, August Busch III, then-chairman of Anheuser-Busch, the world's largest brewer, told a national conference of wholesalers that they had better start thinking solely of A-B brands when it came to distribution.

New Hampshire's Primary Breweries
February 8, 2016 - Tom Acitelli	Thank goodness for that random magazine ad for a homebrewing kit.

Iowa's First Micro-Brewery
January 29, 2016 - Tom Acitelli	For Carroll Zuber, like many others, it started with an epiphany in Europe.

Summit Brewing Started Its Climb 30 Years Ago
December 9, 2015 - Tom Acitelli	In the early 1980s, Mark Stutrud was a supervisor at an adolescent chemical dependency program in Minnesota, a role he once described as "classic middle management with a lot of responsibility but no authority."
