A Whaley Good Week!
- Sun 2nd Sep, 2018
Wow what a week for Whales! This is our fourth year leading seabird and whale trips with Sean Baxter and his family in Staithes on the North Yorkshire coast. The three sailings this week have been three of the best.
Opportunities for spotting cetaceans on the Yorkshire coast have caught the eye of the press this summer. There have been increased sightings (based on previous years) in the zone between Long Nab Scarborough, Filey and Flamborough. The majority of these sightings have involved Minke Whales but there have also been lots of Harbour Porpoise and smaller numbers of White-beaked Dolphins and Bottle-nosed Dolphins. Several sightings of Humpback Whales and possible Fin Whales off Flamborough have been even more exciting.
During July the southern end of the cetacean zone was basking in fins, but the northern end between Staithes and Whitby experienced lower numbers in July than previous years. With so many people out looking from the shore combined with our boat trips from Staithes we were able to establish a pretty clear pattern of distribution throughout the month.
In August things started to change as we saw more Minke Whales from Sean's boat in the Staithes area and a wonderful pod of White-beaked Dolphins on the 6th led by YCN guide Mark Pearson. The same pod also entertained locals watching from the shore in Saltburn. Rough weather at the end of July meant we had to cancel a few trips but by mid-August we were just about keeping up our proud tally of a Minke Whale on every boat trip whilst worrying about the seemingly lower numbers this year, no doubt linked to low numbers of Mackerel and Herring. However things were about to change dramatically as the fish stocks increased and the weather changed.
Rarely do we get a calm, predictable forecast for a whole week but the last week of August looked great! Tuesday 28th was a classic trip with our first Minke Whale in view after only 30 minutes. Our trip plan often involves searching in traditional areas between 3 and 5 miles and then 7-8 miles from shore. Remarkably we have found whales in almost exactly the same spot year after year. After spending time in a feeding area, drifting with the engine switched off, we then move to a new area to ensure we keep disturbance to a minimum.
I decided it would be interesting to log the number of encounters based on each time we saw a whale. It's quite often tricky to tell if we are seeing the same animal so at least this would give us an indication of how good a trip was. Seven hours later we had logged 205 encounters from approximately 26 Minke Whales! With 15-16 individuals present on the 31st and the 1st the density of whales was very high during the whole week. Drifting quietly in the boat can really pay dividends as occasionally a Minke Whale will come within a few meters to check us out. On the 31st August one of our clients was fishing for Mackerel when he saw a large shape swim beneath the boat!..
The sea had calmed down even more creating a beautiful silky, glass like texture. This was photography heaven and a wonderful opportunity to see Jellyfish such as the Lions Mane up close in the crystal clear water. Two Minke Whales seemed to brush each other as they rose out of the water together, an Atlantic Grey Seal popped up and gave us the beady eye and then two Northern Wheatears flew past the boat on their long migration across the North Sea. UK wildlife watching doesn't get much better than this.
The northerly wind, which blew a week ago, also brought us large numbers of Manx Shearwaters something we don't often see at this time of year. Local seawatching birders had been counting them from the cliffs the previous weekend and sure enough we found a fantastic flock of over 100 on the 28th giving us a great opportunity to photograph them against the backdrop of the North Yorkshire coastline.
The same hardy seawatchers had also reported a probable Humpback Whale on the 26th so we were on the lookout for anything really big. On the 31st we had a glimpse of a larger whale and then on the 1st September our boat crew led by YCN guide Jono (Jonah) Leadley thought they had got lucky as they saw several distinctive blows which would be very unusual for Minke Whale. Brief views of what looked like a larger whale were ultimately inconclusive but may have been the elusive Humpback….
By the end of the week the Manx Shearwater numbers had dropped but a Sooty Shearwater and several Arctic Skuas livened up the show on the 1st, hopefully signs that Skua numbers are increasing. Atlantic Puffin numbers remained fairly consistent throughout the week with between 12 and 15 birds, all juveniles apart from one adult. A daily show of diving Northern Gannets, flopping Atlantic Fulmars and bombing Bonxies kept everyone snap happy at the back of the boat as the chum was cast adrift.
September is often a great time to look out for whales in our part of the North Sea as the Herring numbers reach their peak. If you're unsure about being on a boat Minke Whales and other cetaceans can be seen from the shore, try Cowbar to the north of Staithes or Old Nab on the cliffs immediately to the south, these are great places to watch from. If you do see any please send your sightings in to Seawatch Foundation click here.
Huge thanks to all our great clients this week from Jono and I, Chrys Mellor for the Grey Seal photograph and Matt Hobbs and Ewan Wakefield who kindly shared their world knowledge of seabirds and cetaceans with everyone. There are still places left on our September trips, click here for more info.

Maisie is trying to buy two anti-glare screens for computers in this building.
Corporate Purchasing doesn't list anti-glare screens as they say they are an unnecessary expense because all new PCs have flat screens.
Maisie cannot nip out to buy a couple of anti-glare screens from the shop across the way for £10 each because she is not allowed to buy any goods not listed by Corporate Purchasing and certainly not from anywhere no longer included in the Suppliers List after Corporate Purchasing accidentally deleted the file a couple of months ago and haven't yet either found a backup or manually entered all the known existing suppliers.
So in order to save £20 we are having to buy a couple of brand new computer screens.
You know where this is going, don't you?
Unbelievable tales from One Who Knows.

We're taking a bit of a breather while the world rearranges its underpants. Meanwhile, the other blog is here.

DC White Engineering Consultants
We are mechanical engineering consultants who have built upon our seismic expertise and expanded our reputation for developing aspects of impact analysis and probability methods.
We continue to provide exceptional high levels of mechanical engineering consultancy to commercial timescales, as well as offering academic levels of mechanical and civil engineering solutions.
Vibration analysis and seismic structural engineering are at the core of our business with additional expertise in fractural investigation, pipe design and stress analysis, together with testing services and bespoke instrumentation.
Pipe Design and Stress Analysis
DC White have long experience in ensuring the integrity of piping systems in the chemical and nuclear industries. This has also lead us to the design of piping brackets for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, London Jubilee Underground Line and the analysis of the St. Pancras station platform extension project (see case studies).
We operate to the highest standards and our philosophy is to 'go the extra mile' to find the right solution for our clients.
Our services cover Design Substantition, Safety Assessment and Failure Analysis, which deliver three key benefits:
1. Minimizing plant and piping failure rates
2. Ensuring your plant operates safely
3. Demonstrating to the Safety Officer that a failure is not critical, and thereby keep your plant running
For expert advice, get in touch today.
Finite Element Analysis
Our finite element analysis is undertaken for design substantiation of machinery and structures, validation of machinery and structures and design verification to national and international standards.
Our experience in finite element analysis ensures you benefit from a range of analytical tools and receive accurate, cost-efficient and fast solutions. Our tools include SolidWorks, Mathcad, Geostar, and COSMOSWorks Advanced Professional.
We pride ourselves on fulfilling our client's demands and requirements and can analyse structures using solid elements, beams and shells. Our comprehensive FE packages enable us to perform static, frequency, thermal, buckling, and non-linear.
CFD Computational Fluid Dynamics
Leading-edge CFD (computational fluid dynamics) can help you create more efficient products and significantly reduce your testing costs - and now it's an affordable service, available from the team at DC White & Partners.
At DC White & Partners, we have invested in the people and the software development to enable CFD to be applied to virtually any product or process, without the eye-watering price tag.
Vibration Analysis
Vibration problems frequently figure in our workload and we have developed an innovative attitude to these issues providing cost-efficient solutions in short time scales.
Vibration analysis covers a variety of approaches including seismic assessment of critical plant, seismic design and monitoring, and inspection of earthquake damaged plant and recommendations for repair to earthquake damage.
The types of vibration analysis we have undertaken include response spectrum based computer analysis, investigation into effects of structural vibration in industrial building and human response to vibration. Our qualified engineers have a wealth of experience in a diversity of testing areas such as computer modelling, long term monitoring and assessment to design codes.
Structural Design Optimisation
Structural design optimisation means designing a product that most economically meets its performance requirements. Our engineers have years of experience in optimising existing designs or brand new designs.
Our structural design optimisation expertise covers a huge range of machinery design. For example we recently got asked to design a new swaging machine based upon a previous design. The client wanted a reduced weight to the assembly whilst having the structural integrity and performance of components optimised.
Whether you have a technical issue with a piece of machinery, process or plant we are confident we can solve the problem.
Safety Cases
The nuclear industry has always been required to produce safety cases but it is a relatively new advancement for other industrial sectors to require them. DC White & Partners have produced seismic safety cases for most of the UK nuclear power stations.
We have supplied safety cases for a variety of industries including petrochemical refineries, motorsport, manufacturing, offshore oil and gas platforms, and food and chemical process. Our assessments have included peer assessment, hazard surveys, risk analysis, and the development of new safety cases.
Impact Analysis
The prediction of how equipment behaves under impact is of great engineering significance.
An FEA approach to impact behaviour is sometimes necessary in augmenting physical testing, or in some cases may be required to replace it altogether, for example:
- in the nuclear industry, or with other high value and high severity scenarios,
- where designs need to be tested before tooling and manufacture,
- where stress and failure margins need to be quantified,
- where detailed scrutiny and design insight is required.
We have many years experience within the nuclear sector which includes analysis of dropped nuclear fuel rods, fuel casks, nuclear lifts, crane boom impacts and seismically induced impacts.
Nuclear case studies are sensitive, so shown here is a standard pharmaceutical vessel dropped on a corner vertically over its centre of gravity. This analysis will provide detailed insight into the prediction of deformation, buckling, fracture and tensile failure, and form the basis of a safety case or inform modifications and redesign.
We have an explicit FEA impact capability with material plasticity and secondary contact logic. We also use non-linear implicit FEA, energy based hand-calculations and, as always, are willing to extend our software capabilities to suit our clients' needs.
The issue of finding the critical drop orientations and impact points is often a conundrum in itself, but the possibilities can be narrowed down considerably with some careful deduction, considering for example:
- Physical constraints (geometry, available time, terminal velocity)
- Centre of gravity location, surface profile and friction
- Local impact deformation versus global stress-wave propagation
- Priority to weak and critical features
Bespoke equipment and design
Bespoke Design - What We Do
Designers and manufacturers encounter unique problems when producing cutting-edge products. Using off the shelf machinery can be an unsatisfactory compromise of the company's requirements.
Many problems can only be solved using unique, tailor-made pieces of equipment. DC White Consulting Engineers are able to design and arrange manufacture of these items for you.
When a world-leading producer of wind turbines needed new pieces of test equipment, we were able to design and fabricate bespoke machines that cost significantly less than quoted by test equipment suppliers, without the compromises on the client's requirement.
For more information on our highly cost-effective bespoke design service service, email us or call 01252 811641.
Altoona Seismic Damper
NEW - The Altoona DamperTM
DC White has been involved in seismic design of safety-critical structures for over 25 years. Recently, this has led to an interesting bespoke design development that we wanted to share with you, which we think demonstrates well our capabilities in this field.
Proven Techniques
The design is for a range of structural dampers, known as Altoona Seismic DampersTM, which use proven techniques to provide isolation and greatly increase damping of a structure - but only at the time of a seismic event.
The Altoona Damper can be incorporated into any critical steel framed structure such as buildings, support frames and cranes. For normal duty, it is completely passive; for seismic or fault loading it is an isolator.
Simple Concept
Like many effective designs, the concept is simple: a damper is placed directly into the seismic input load path but it is locked to carry all design loads as a "rigid" unit. When the design load is exceeded (tensile or compressive, plus an agreed margin), the foolproof lock is instantly released and the damper/isolator becomes effective, greatly reducing the forces input to the critical structure. Read more
Bespoke Design Can Make The Difference
Currently in the final stages of production, the Altoona Seismic DamperTM is already receiving strong interest: we hope this demonstrates the breadth of our engineering knowledge and the potential that our approach to bespoke design has in finding new, cost-effective ways to solve problems old and new.
Contact us on 01252 811 641 or email email@example.com - we'd be very happy to help.
Seismic analysis
Relatively little of human civilization is designed to be earthquake resistant.
Even in the developed world, earthquake design is often seen as having intangible risks, expensive preventative measures, and as being unnecessary away from seismic hot-spots.
However, a seismic analysis assessment is often highly rational no matter the location, and we can often demonstrate seismic resistance with minimal or no redesign.
Seismic projects figure extensively in our workload and we have established a reputation for innovative approaches to these problems.
Seismic Analysis - Why is it important?
- location - Is your project based near the Asian / American / Pacific 'ring of fire', or the Middle East? Even in the UK it can be essential to analyse.
- it's often mandatory - is Eurocode 8 lurking within the spec?
- is it nuclear, civil, or otherwise high value or high risk severity?
- too big to test - vibration characteristics can often only be assessed analytically.
- reassurance - justify expenditure, improve safety credentials.
Seismic Analysis - Why DCWhite?
DC White offers over 25 years seismic experience:
- a clear and deep understanding of mechanical engineering theory,
- many collective decades of experience,
- numerous past projects for reference,
- an extensive range of analytical software and vibration instrumentation,
- practical advice, detailed reporting, fixed scope and prices agreed upfront, good value and fast service.

We live in times of significant demographic and technological transition across the broader public sector. People are leaving. New people are arriving. The swirl of senior leaders continues unabated, leaving behind memory gaps, taking with them accumulated experience. We are constantly moving around more and more information. What about that experience and the wisdom it can offer others? Gone in the tail stream of business. Retired or moved on.
With all the technological advances, most governments have lost a lot of institutional memory with the disappearance of hard-copy file systems and the inadequate replacement of them with more decentralized databases. These are good in themselves, faster, deeper. But where are the stories? Where is the nuance?
The richness of public organizational life does not lie in its databases. It lies in its people, their stories, how they confronted issues, either successfully or not. So too for the richness of the study of public policy and management. Nothing happens in a vacuum. Government offers a context that is replete with complexity, drama and ambiguity. Capturing that combination either for practice or for study is the advantage that case studies offer.
While much has been written about case studies as a teaching tool, there is a pressing need to extend the range of their use to the realm of organizational learning as well. Similarly, while many cases exist for both academic and business use in the private sector, the use of cases in public administration generally has been more modest. Maybe it has to do with political and privacy concerns, most of which can be overcome.
Case studies provide a rich tool for presenting problems in public administration. They can cover the range of public policy and management issues. Case studies are not restricted to management alone. Indeed, the workings of the policy process and interplay of policy ideas, context, politics and the constraining environment provides an ideal platform for case studies. We just are not doing enough of them.
Overcoming the NLH syndrome
What I have seen emerging over the past 10 years of teaching and the years prior in public administration practice is an increasing understanding that it pays to learn from others – and it costs not to. While every situation is unique, the experience of one agency, department or government can inform the decisions confronting another one. I have also learned that people learn best when they see the context of what they are reading, when they understand the interpersonal play and the underlying forces driving one organization in a certain direction.
There is much to be learned from others. Unfortunately, there is a sort of Not Learned Here (NLH) syndrome, which suggests that simply looking around, and sharing experiences will not inform your own decision making because, well, it was NLH. That sort of hubris invites many public organizations to take on yet again the exercise of inventing a wheel that others have already crafted.
Cases can take the place of forms of interaction that seem to be falling away in the light of budget restraint and a general increase in organizational busyness – conferences, casual discussions and reflective retreats. Of course, they cannot replace these fully, just help avoid the loss of memory and sharing of experiences that such interaction fosters.
There is a crying need today for public organizations to pass on their experiences, good, bad and otherwise, to the generation of new leaders. While the experience varies around the world, the sharing of that know-how in a less structured fashion, one we might call relational osmosis – just being around people with more experience – is truncated by the fact that proximity is increasingly defined as a text message.
Case studies, even when they reflect actual experience, force the substance of these tales from the trenches of the bureaucratic venture into a format that leads to broader application of the experience, the derivation of lessons learned, the applicability of public administration theory and the potential for decision making.
A pitch for case studies
As editor of IPAC's series of cases, I see a need for more governments and agencies to tell their stories and share their experiences. I call these cases organizational learning cases. We have some but never enough. We need more cases. Governments need to spend more time structuring their experiences through cases. When you think of the value of a case to a struggling manager, think of the movie Groundhog Day and how to avoid it.

Why giving heartworm prevention is truly necessary
On December 13, I took my foster dog, Jeb, in for his first heartworm treatment. He's going to get three injections because his heartworm infection is severe and his lungs have been compromised, even though he's only eighteen months old. Jeb came to Minnesota from a great rescue in the southern United States who received some bad advice from a vet and didn't treat his heartworm infection right away. So what? So now here we are, treating it 5 months later, and he's a much higher risk patient.
I'm writing this because it's important that people realize how horrible heartworm infection is. Jeb is my third foster dog with it. Luckily, I've not lost one yet, though my first one was very close. We received my beagle, Pig, from the south as well, and he tested negative for heartworm when we got him, so we thought he was safe. We put him on year-round preventative and were ready to place him in a forever home. He wasn't an easy placement, though, and 9 months later, he was still with us, so we boarded him with our dogs when we went on vacation. The day we picked him up, I noticed something was not right. His balance was off and he was staggering. He started to walk into walls. I immediately took him to Brooklyn Park Pet Hospital, where his reflexes continued to deteriorate. They referred me to the University of Minnesota, so off we rushed to the emergency room.
After numerous tests, they couldn't find anything wrong with Pig, so they monitored him for a bit, kept him on fluids, and when it appeared that he was coming around, sent him home with us, after we'd racked up about $1,500 in charges. When we took Pig back to BPPH for his annual exam and vaccine update three weeks later, we found out what had happened – Pig was heartworm positive, and it was likely that a heartworm had broken off and hit his brain. At this point, we scheduled his three-injection treatment and adopted him, since it was clear that we weren't going to be able to nurse him through his embolism and heartworm treatment, foster him a year, and then place him in another home. Luckily, Pig made it through all of this with no residual problems, and we have a dog who loves us dearly. The only thing we can figure is that the test was done in the short period of time after the dog is bitten by the infected mosquito, but before the worms were mature enough to detect. Just our luck, right?
Not everyone realizes how serious the treatment is, or how serious the repercussions are if you don't treat your dog. We have to watch Jeb closely for signs of pneumonia, compromised breathing, or any signs that he may have had a dying heartworm compromise his pulmonary system. We have to do this for 8 weeks, while we keep him quiet, which means nothing but leash walking and no playtime with the other dogs. Have you ever tried to do that with an eighteen-month-old puppy? Not the easiest thing in the world, but absolutely necessary, since an elevated heartrate greatly increases the risk of pulmonary embolism, which could kill him.
What's the upside? At the end of the eight weeks, we'll have a healthy dog, ready for adoption with a forever family. Jeb's a wonderful boy and worth the effort. It just would have been so much easier if his former owners had kept him on heartworm preventative. It's not that much money, given the risks it covers. It's really not.

Cardenas to make merry in Sunrise-Six
1. BROOKLYN 2. UNBREAKABLE 3. DANCING QUEEN 4, CONCUR 5. UNIVERSAL BOSS 6. FRIENDLY NEIGHBOUR SUNRISE-SIX BROOKLYN will surely be running only against the clock in tomorrow's first race, an 1100 metres event for $450,000 claimers. Nine will face the starter in this opening event of the Sunrise-Six and the Anthony Smith-trained five-year-old mare has an easy task to notch her fifth win in 26 starts. In her last run on September 29 in overnight allowance company, BROOKLYN was just ten lengths off the Wayne DaCosta-trained Without Exception, one of the most improved horses in training. Since crossing the line in 1:13.0 to win over 1200m on September 29, Without Exception has clocked 1:05.2 for 1100m (placed second), 1:18.3 over 1300m (second) and then won the Invitational Mile on Burger King Superstakes Day in 1:37.1. BROOKLYN has therefore kept very good company. She has not competed in well over a month but advertised her well being with a 36.0 flat work for 600m on November 3 and is ready for a big run. Panamanian Dick Cardenas has been chasing Anthony Thomas for a long time in the jockeys' championship and now he is just eight behind. The gap should be seven after tomorrow's second race. Cardenas rides UNBREAKABLE who has dropped two levels down to the $210,000 claiming group and at 52.0kg is just too light to lose this 1500 metres event. UNBREAKABLE led the $450,000 claiming group for 800m of a 1600m race on October 20 clocking a final time of 1:43.4 behind the winner's 1:39. 4. Nothing in this field can match the seven-year-old gelding's 47.2×1:12.2 1200m metres splits for that race and he will be a lonely winner. DANCING QUEEN, with former champion jockey Dane Nelson in the saddle, should also use her superior speed to get away from rivals in the third. The majority of the eight-horse field are middle distance horses with none having the speed to test Errol Waugh's five-year-old mare on the headlines. PRINCESS EMANUELLE does have pace but is much too heavy at 57kg to mount a challenge. The last time she tackled this 1200m distance in mid-year DANCING QUEEN lost by just three quarters of a length to Bilingual as she finished in a final time of 1:12.4. The fourth is over 1300m for $180,000 claimers and has attracted a full field of 16 runners. CONCUR who won over the distance on October 13 clocking a good 1:22.1 should use his superior fitness to get the better of rivals. ALSO CORRECT who has dropped down to this level with just 51kg on his back, courtesy of apprentice Raddesh Roman's 4kg claim, should also run well. Take Cardenas to close out the Sunrise-Six with newcomer UNIVERSAL BOSS in the fifth and FRIENDLY NEIGHBOUR in Race Six.

Prime Minister and Umno president Najib Abdul Razak has refused to disclose the identity of the donor who gave RM40 million to Umno Sabah.
Speaking after chairing the BN supreme council meeting, he also declined to specify what it was for, curtly saying that it was "for political donation".
Pressed on whether it was for election funding, he said: "It's for political donation."
"Every politician has the right to do so," he said.
"We are not at liberty to disclose (the donor's identity) because the opposition also receives donations and they don't disclose (it either)," he said.

Outfit dilemma #2: Black and Red Wedding
Ok, so here I am again, sleepless (ok not really) thinking about my outfit for this wedding on Saturday. Initially I have no plans of going since I was not invited but the boyfriend informed me just this week that there were change of plans and now I'm going.
Ugh. I'm not really sure if that's good news or not. Why? Good: cause I'll be able to spend time with the boyfriend and his friends Bad: Cause I have to come up with an outfit within a week! Ok, you know how I planned my previous outfit right? That took me a month! Really, no kidding! So now, I have to rummage my closet and find dress/es that I can wear. And yes, thank God I found two LBDs sitting on my closet. I had them trimmed just above the knee and now though I have a dress to wear, I don't know which one to use! So below I came up with 2 styles to wear for the wedding and hopefully you guys can help me out pick which one. Let me know which one is wedding appropriate and hopefully, I can post my actual outfit after the wedding.
Black and red – set 2 by pixelgraffiti featuring Forever21
Oh, and one more thing: this or this make-up? I know I can be too pickle-minded at times!
Till then!

London Fashion Week catwalk tickets are pretty much gold dust, which is why the V&A's latest announcement is such big news.
As part of their Fashion in Motion series, designer, London Fashion Week regular and King of all things glitter Ashish Gupta will hold four free catwalk shows at the museum with tickets available to all members of the public. Yes, you heard right – free.
Having originated from Delhi, India, the collaboration with Ashish comes as part of the museum's India Festival, in celebration of the museum's Nehru Gallery's 25th anniversary.
"I'm greatly honoured to have been asked to do a retrospective show of my work as part of the Fashion in Motion series at the V&A," said Ashish.
SEE: Everything You Need To Know About London Fashion Week
"I will be combining work from collections from the last 10 years. Going through my archives has been a fun and nostalgic experience and I am looking forward to creating an exciting presentation of the best of a decade of my work."
And exciting we're sure it will be. With a cult fan base including Taylor Swift, Lily Allen, Rita Ora and M.I.A., the designer is hailed for putting on nonconformist, in-your-face catwalk shows.
For his most recent showing at London Fashion Week, Ashish sent his catwalk clique down the runway on '90s inspired skateboards, clad in a series of metallic slip dresses, embellished capes and decorated flares. The result? One seriously chaotic combination of colourful skater grunge and sports luxe.

Latest Stories
Our point is, if his previous shows are anything to go by, Ashish's Fashion in Motion shows are ones you certainly don't want to miss.
The catwalks will take place on Friday 23 October at 1pm, 3pm, 5pm and 8pm, but while admission is free, booking is essential. To avoid disappointment, call 02079422820 to get your tickets now. These ones will go like hot cakes..

Buffalo State's slim hopes of getting a piece of the Empire 8 Conference football championship took a big hit Saturday with a 26-13 loss to Utica at Coyer Field.
The visiting Pioneers took care of all the scoring in the second half after 13-all tie at the break. They scored on a 9-yard pass from Teddy Van Galen to Jerred Beniquez in the third quarter and added a 39-yard scoring run by Ryan Burnett with 1:30 left. It was the second Empire-8 win in a row for Utica (6-2, 4-2), which upset nationally ranked St. John Fisher, 23-6, last week. The loss stopped a Buffalo State win streak at two.
Kyle Hoppy (Orchard Park) passed 4 yards to senior tight end Nick Jones (West Seneca West) for the lone Buffalo State touchdown with 20 seconds left in the first half. It capped a 77-yard drive. Hoppy, however, suffered through a rough day passing in the 15-20 mph wind. He completed only 5 of 22 passes for 58 yards and was intercepted twice and sacked three times. Van Galen, on the other hand, completed 15 of 22 for 200 yards and two scores and was intercepted once and sacked one.
The first of two field goals by senior Marc Montana, from 37 yards, gave Buffalo State the first lead midway through the opening quarter. On the second play following the kickoff, Van Galen hit Beniquez on a 63-yard pass for a 6-3 lead. It came just 42 seconds after the Montana field goal.
The next time Utica gained possession, it drove 66 yards to take the lead with 46 seconds left in the first quarter on a 1-yard run by Lindell Reed.
The Bengals tied it in the second quarter on a 39-yard Montana field goal, his 10th in 13th attempts this season. That was the end of the Buffalo State scoring, however. The Bengals reached Utica territory three times in the second half - the 23 was the deepest penetration - but lost the ball on an interception and on downs. An interception ended the Bengals' final possession with 28 seconds left.
Senior Tre Jones carried 17 times for 147 yards and Hoppy had 41 in 15 attempts as Buffalo State had a 195-173 advantage in rushing yards. Junior linebacker Bart Mazzara (Starpoint) had 18 total tackles, five solos, and junior cornerback Tiquan Simpkins had 11 stops including six solos to lead the Buffalo State defense.
It was the third conference loss for Buffalo State (4-3, 2-3 Empire 8) and left the Bengals three games behind conference leader Alfred. The Bengals will play their final home game of the season at 11 a.m. on Saturday against Empire-8 opponent Hartwick, which lost at home to Alfred, 61-12. The kickoff was moved from noon to allow for a 3 p.m. start time for the Bengals men's soccer team in a playoff game.

Worst-case scenario: Implosion
May 29, 2011
The Times of India
Pakistan's civil society is gradually being torn apart by radical extremism and its powerful army seems incapable of stemming the rot. The daring attack by terrorists of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on the naval aviation base in Karachi is the latest case in point. The likelihood of Pakistan's nuclear warheads falling into jihadi hands has once again gained currency.
Pakistan is beset by creeping Talibanization. Ground attack fighter aircraft, helicopter gunships and heavy artillery had to be used in 2007-08 to liberate the Swat Valley and Buner from the sharia rule imposed by Maulana Fazlullah's militants. It took major military operations and large-scale army casualties to drive TTP extremists out of South Waziristan in 2009. Though TTP leader Baitullah Mehsud was killed in a US drone strike, the extremists simply moved into North Waziristan and still operate from there. The Army HQ at Rawalpindi and ISI headquarters in Lahore have been successfully attacked by the Taliban in league with al-Qaeda. Bomb blasts in Peshawar and elsewhere are a daily occurrence. Bahawalpur in south Punjab has become a hub for ideological indoctrination.
The Pakistan army and its rogue intelligence agency, the ISI, are having a tough time living up to their carefully cultivated hype as the self-appointed 'defenders of the faith' and the custodians of Pakistan's 'ideological frontiers'. The rank and file supports the Taliban cause and is unwilling to forgive the generals for allying with the US in its war on terror. The troops are reluctant to operate against fellow sunni Muslims. The Pushtuns, in particular, are unwilling to fight fellow Pushtuns. In 2007, an army company surrendered to the Taliban. Desertions are commonplace; cases of fratricide are often reported and many weapons have been lost to the Taliban.
Apprehensions have been expressed about the radicalization of the officer cadre. Nearly six army divisions are employed in counter-insurgency operations in the Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa and FATAareas but progress in eliminating the Taliban has been painfully slow.
Besieged and beleaguered they may be but the Pakistan army and ISI continue to make facetious distinctions between the good Taliban—'strategic' assets for employment against India and in Afghanistan—and the bad. Their support for the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed is undiminished. In Afghanistan they are running with the hares and hunting with the hounds and are still looking for strategic depth. If Pakistan has earned the dubious distinction of having become the epicentre of fundamentalist terrorism, it is because the army and ISI, driven by their hatred for India, have blundered so badly. The world is waiting for wisdom to dawn on them —the real enemy lies within.
The worst case scenario for Pakistan over the next two to three years is a jihadi-led coup from within the army. Radicalized officers owing allegiance to the TTP variety of Taliban, would come to power. The probability of this is low but the steady deterioration in the security situation and the army's unwillingness and inability to fight the scourge of Talibanization means it cannot be ruled out. In such a nightmarish scenario, with near civil war conditions prevailing, nuclear weapons may actually be used against US and coalition forces in Afghanistan and targets in India. This would mean a holocaust on the Indian subcontinent.
Is it time the international community seriously considered neutralizing Pakistan's nuclear warhead storage sites and the delivery systems? It would be in India's interests to join such an initiative. India should be prepared to provide military assistance, including direct intervention. It would, of course, be better if such an occurrence were prevented. The US must lead the international community in efforts to convince General Kayani that the only way forward is to redouble determined counter-terrorism operations to weed out the TTP, LeT, JeM and other terrorist groups that have enjoyed state patronage. The consequences of not doing so are too horrendous to contemplate.

Chocolate Peppermint Yule Roll
The holidays aren't complete without a rich, chocolatey peppermint Yule roll.
- For the cake:
- 1 box super-moist cake mix
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Cocoa powder for rolling
- For the filling:
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1-2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 1/2 cup peppermints or candy canes, crushed
- For the ganache:
- 8 ounces dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Pinch of coffee granules (optional)
- Garnish:
- Extra crushed candies & chocolate shavings
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line and grease a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
- In a bowl, mix together all ingredients for the cake and bake for about 15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Run a knife around the edge to help release cake freely.
- While the cake is still warm, moisten a towel, and sprinkle finished cake with cocoa powder. Flip cake over onto towel, sprinkle the top with more cocoa powder, and carefully roll with towel starting with the widest edge. Let cool completely. (The damp towel helps the cake roll more easily.)
- For the filling, combine all ingredients except crushed candy cane, and whip until blended.
- For the ganache, place all ingredients in a heat-proof bowl, pop into the microwave and heat in 30 second intervals until melted.
- Unroll cooled cake and fill with buttercream filling. Sprinkle with crushed peppermints, then re-roll carefully, tidying up the ends as you go (some filling may escape the ends, so you may have to trim the sides for a nice clean roll).
- Place on a cooling rack. Drizzle with ganache and top with more crushed candies and chocolate shavings.

E-Book for Download :Honor Harrington - 11 - At All Costs (Format : mp3 , Language : English)
Plot :
The war with the Republic of Haven has resumed ... disastrously for the Star Kingdom of Manticore. Admiral Lady Dame Honor Harrington, Steadholder and Duchess Harrington, the single victorious Allied commander of the opening phase of the new war, has been recalled from the Sidemore System to command Eighth Fleet. Everyone knows Eighth Fleet is the Alliance's primary offensive command, which makes it the natural assignment for the woman the media calls the Salamander.
But what most of the public DOESN'T know is that not only are the Star Kingdom and its Allies badly outnumbered by the Republic's new fleet, but that the odds are going to get steadily worse. Eighth Fleet's job is to somehow prevent those odds from crushing the Alliance before the Star Kingdom can regain its strategic balance. It's a job which won't be done cheaply. Honor Harrington must meet her formidable responsibilities with inferior forces even as she copes with tumultuous changes in her personal and public life.
The alternative to victory is total defeat, yet this time the COST of victory will be agonizingly high.

Your own customizable BridgeChain and Explorer in < 20 minutes
This deployment method can be used to jump-start your journey to your own BridgeChain in the process outlined here (ARK Deployer)
Pre-Requisites: Active Microsoft Azure account (Trial is OK) and basic knowledge on how to connect via SSH (E.g. PuTTY for Windows).
End result:
– Ubuntu VM in Azure
– Azure PublicIP and Firewall configurations pre-built
– Your own BridgeChain node and ARK Explorer running in < 20 minutes
– Re-usable and customizable deployment script
Script available at : ARK Azure on GitHub
1. Virtual Machine Quick Deployment
Navigate to: https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/ark-azure
Click on the big blue "Deploy to Azure" button to be taken to Portal.Azure.com. Login with your account (Trial or not, either work).
You should only need to input data for 3 empty fields (Resource Group, Admin Password, and DNS Label), but full details for this section:
Subscription — If not already on your current one.
Resource Group — 'Create New' only option that will work unless you wish to edit the template yourself. We will use My-Ark-RG for this guide.
Location — Trial availability varies by region. Select whichever you are permitted access to via trial, or if paid, any will do.
Admin Username — This is the account you will sign into the server with.
Admin Password — Secure string and has high complexity requirements.
Dns Label Prefix — This is the unique DNS name that you are giving to this VM. It is mandatory that this name be unique in the Location Datacenter as a whole (It will self-check after input) **Remember this for easy SSH
Ubuntu OS Version — Only option is 16.04-LTS at this time.
ARKNSG Name — This is the name for the firewall group to permit SSH as well as Ark Node/Explorer port access to this VM.
Currently, the VM produced is a Standard_A1 size VM. This is a very low-cost resource VM for tutorial purposes (can be scaled-up after deployment if desired or via template adjustment).
Click 'Agree', and 'Purchase' to begin deployment. Should take 5–10 minutes.
2. Connecting to VM + ARK Deployer
You are welcome to explore your new VM's Overview, etc, by clicking on 'Resource Groups' and finding your new group, and the VM inside. There are lots of configuration items here.
If you do not remember your Public DNS name or IP address (for SSH), go to: Resource Groups > My-Ark-RG > MyUbuntuVM > Overview. This has all the general information you will need.
Connecting via SSH
The Public DNS Name for all VMs follows this pattern:
So in our instance it would be here: firstarksidechain.southcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com
SSH into your new VM using the Public DNS Name and login with the credentials used during the VM Template deployment page.
Starting here, is the default quick-installation method with the chain being named "MyTest". If you wish to customize it, please see the bottom-most section of this article.
Run the following command (It's a one-liner, copy and paste the full contents from here or from the ARK AZure Github page):
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ArkEcosystem/ark-azure/master/script/arkdefaultinstall.sh | bash
This script will complete all of the installation steps to get both the node and explorer running for your BridgeChain, with all the default values. Total installation time is about 10 minutes.
There is 1 important item to locate in the stream of data being output to the console (for wallet control, etc). Your Genesis Passphrase details!
Just after the node gets installed, there will be 3 lines of text to record. Copy these lines outlined in red below.
This information will be used later on, as you explore ARK past the deployment phase with ARK Deployer. Copy and paste it right out of the console window for safe keeping.
3. Final result — see explorer in action
This is the Public IP of your server, and the port required to view the ARK Explorer for your BridgeChain (4200). The API should be available on port 4100.
You can highlight the URL straight from the SSH window, such as: http://126.96.36.199:4200 and hit CTRL+C to copy it. Paste into a browser, and voila!
4. Customizing Your Deployment
If you wish to customize your deployment of ARK within the bounds of ARK-Deployer, download a copy of:
- Click on "Raw" on the same line as your file name and copy the URL
- You can now, on a prepared VM, run via SSH:
- curl -o- paste-raw-gist-URL-here-ending-in.sh | bash
For more in-depth and customizable BridgeChain enjoy following along with the ARK Deployer guide going forward in your ARK journey. Welcome aboard ARK.
Special Mention
Special thanks to Walrusface for writing this guide and script, delegate Jarunik for sponsoring its development and our dev Alex Barnsley for testing and modifying necessary things in ARK deployer.

Both are 434MHz as this is in europe, but the remote part is already working.
All markings are identical between the original and the new key except the new key also have "ANATEL 1137-J2-2856" marked on it.
I am not sure I understand what you are asking for here(I also need the colour code part EG. INB/INF)
Is this a code on the key housing?
Getting a confirmation (or disaproval) on the WVX/WVZ difference would be nice.
I dont want to put some random things in there that could cause issues in the future.
Or is this something that can be changed many times?
I am not familiar with WSC abbreviaton... What does it mean?
edit: The forum software translated this to WorkShop Code but I am still not sure what it is or what it is used for. trackability and insurance?
Can you confirm that your success stories relate to WVZ systems?

Posted on 06/03/2014 12:42:29 AM PDT by WhiskeyX
Rumors that battle-hardened Chechen fighters from Russia's notorious Vostok Battalion are active in eastern Ukraine have been swirling for weeks.
They unexpectedly materialized on May 29 when dozens of heavily armed men identifying themselves as members of the Vostok Battalion stormed the separatists' headquarters in central Donetsk, evicting the motley band of pro-Russian rebels that had occupied the building since March.
The brazen raid, conducted in broad daylight, has plunged the region into new uncertainty. The emergence of such a widely recognizable Russian military structure in eastern Ukraine has also raised questions about Moscow's role in the conflict.
So what is the Vostok Battalion and what is it doing in eastern Ukraine?
(Excerpt) Read more at rferl.org ...
This isn't the Vostok from Chechnya, but a home grown version, calling themselves Vostok(East). About 1/3rd Ukrainians, and around 2/3rds Russian volunteers.
They appear to be associated with Igor Bezler's Horlivka group, but not directly under his command.
"This isnt the Vostok from Chechnya, but a home grown version, calling themselves Vostok(East). About 1/3rd Ukrainians, and around 2/3rds Russian volunteers."
"They appear to be associated with Igor Bezlers Horlivka group, but not directly under his command."
That is a rather feeble and pathetic attempt upon your part to cloak the Russian command and control of the Vostok Battalion with blatant disinformation.
The Vostok Battalion was reorganized by the Russian GRU in November 2008 and further reorganized in more recent years as the number of its Chechen members continued to decline while on operations in South Ossetia. Using the experience with Chechens as a model, the varous Russian armed forces have been conducting further experiments with raising special operations forces from certain ethnic groups regarded as less reliable or desirable in the conventional Russian armed forces.
The Interior Ministry for one example is following the model with its raising of a special operations force of Daghestani recruits. Now that the GRU's reorganized Vostok Battalion has been transferred to the Ukrainian front, the battalion is recruiting Ukrainian citizens to serve in the battalion as professional contract soldiers (kontracti) or mercenaries.
Presumably the new doctrine would see this mercenary force recruit from the local population of any future theaters of operation to enhance its ability to falsely pose as local insurgents and foreign "volunteers" in much the same way as the Soviets did in China in the 1930s, in Korea in 1950-1953, and a wide assortment of other conflicts since 1918.
Bottomline, you are a liar attempting to coverup the fact the Russian GRU is invading the Ukraine and attempting to overthrow the Ukrainian Government and its local governments by armed force by using mercenaries organized in a Russian special operations battalion under Russian command and control. The Vostok battalion and its covert opertions are prohibited by interntaional law. The Vostok Battalion and its members are liable to prosecution as war criminals.
"Bottomline, you are a liar"
You sir, are completely nuts.
A simple google search would show you that this is VERY well documented already.
I guess Radio Free Europe is just "Paid Putinista Propaganda!!", right?
That's putting it mildly.
1. The link you provided is the exact same source I provided for the article that was the topic of the thread, corroborates what I said, and is evidence that what you said is a lie.
2. See No. 1.
3. You are a liar because you said the Vostok Battalion was organized in the Ukraine from one-third Ukrainians and two-thirds Russian volunteers; whereas the article and I noted the Vostok Battalion was organized in the Southern Military District of Russia as a Russian special operations military battalion under Russian GRU command and control, transferred to the Ukraine, and recruited some small number of Ukrainians to supplement the overwhelming number of Russian professional contract soldiers.

We're counting down the days to kickoff with "99 Warriors," the greatest Ohio State Buckeyes by jersey number, as voted by the staff of Eleven Warriors.
No. 46 Bob Ferguson
TB Bob Ferguson
b. Aug. 29, 1939 (Troy, OH)
d. Dec. 30, 2004 (Columbus, OH)
- Maxwell Award (1961)
- National Champion (1961)
- Consensus First Team All-American (1960, 1961)
- UPI Player of the Year
- Heisman Runner Up (1961)
- Varsity "O" Hall of Fame (1987)
- Ohio State All-Century Team (2000)
At 6-1 and 220 pounds, Bob Ferguson was the prototypical 1960s Ohio State fullback.
A two-time All-American and three-year starter Ferguson led the Buckeyes in rushing every year he played. He only lost six yards in rushing that entire time.
Ferguson earned the 1961 Maxwell Award, given annually to the best all-around player, and the UPA Player of the Year.
He also finished second in Heisman Trophy voting after the Buckeyes finished the '61 season with a national title and 8-0-1 record. Ferguson shared the backfield with halfbacks Paul Warfield and Matt Snell.
The Pittsburgh Steelers and San Diego Chargers both drafted Ferguson with a first-round pick, and Ferguson accepted the offer from the Steelers. He retired after two seasons with the Steelers and Minnesota Vikings due to a head injury.
Ferguson then went back to The Ohio State University and earned a master's degree in sociology. He served as a youth counselor in Columbus until health problems forced him to retire in 1990. He died in Columbus in 2004 due to complications from diabetes.

Exploring The Desert
Fourteen years, plenty of wildlife trips, lots of safaris, hundreds of birds, varied habitats- semi evergreen to deciduous forests, wetlands to deserts, snowfall to the scorching summer heat with temperatures soaring above 40 C, thousands of photographs........yet, not even one-tenth of the national parks and wildlife sanctuaries of India covered. Only 50% of the avian biodiversity of India seen and of the other forms of biodiversity, only a single digit percentage seen yet. How about an exploratory wildlife trip then? How about visiting a protected area about which not much is known, but promises to be rich in terms of biodiversity, a national park which does not see the kind of tourist frenzy that the more popular ones do?

Team news
James McCarthy, Ross Barkley, Ramiro Funes Mori, Yannick Bolasie and Seamus Coleman are injured, whilst Aaron Lennon has also not travelled to Italy.
Oumar Niasse was not included in the 27-man Europa League squad, however, so is unavailable for selection.
What they said
Ronald Koeman
"For every football club it is really important to be part of Europe. Everton was out of it for many years but we are back and it is great for the players and staff – and also for the fans.
"Let's hope for a good game and that the journey will take us a long way in European football.
"If you start a competition you want to win it. But it is a long way to go and our first focus is on Atalanta. You have to take it step by step.
"You can rotate for several reasons but, like always, we will start with a strong team. A football match can be tactical, or physical. It is all about the intention of both teams.
"We will try to dominate the game and to play football. You have to know the right time to play and when to be tactical.
"But our intention is to play offensive football, to create opportunities to score – and we need to counter the strengths of Atalanta."
Match odds
Atalanta – 13/10
Draw – 23/10
Everton – 11/5
*Correct at the time of writing
Key statistics
- This will be the first ever meeting between Atalanta and Everton and Atalanta's first ever encounter with an English side.

- The Toffees have lost all three of their away games in Italy without scoring - losing 0-1 v Inter Milan in a European Cup game in September 1963, 0-1 v AC Milan in a UEFA Cup game in October 1975 and 0-2 v Fiorentina in March 2008, also in the UEFA Cup.
- The Orobici have faced British opponents once before, facing Merthyr Tydfil in the Cup Winners' Cup in 1987/88 – they eliminated the Welsh side 3-2 on aggregate.
- Atalanta are competing in European competition for the first time since the 1990/91 campaign, when they played in the UEFA Cup and reached the quarter-final.
- Gian Piero Gasperini has managed in the Europa League previously – his Genoa side failed to make it out of the group stage in the 2009/10 campaign.
- Everton have featured in two previous UEFA Europa League campaigns, making it out of the group stage on both occasions – they lost in the last 32 in 2009/10 and the last 16 in 2014/15.
- In European competition, English sides have lost nine of their last 13 visits to Italy (W2 D2 L9).
- In the Europa League only, just one English side has ever won against an Italian side away from home (P10 W1 D4 L5) – Liverpool defeating Udinese 1-0 in December 2012.
- Everton's Davy Klaassen featured in the Ajax team that reached the Europa League final last season – he played 13 games, scoring twice and assisting once.
- Ronald Koeman hasn't managed in European competition (excl. qualifiers) since the 2009/10 season with AZ in the Champions League – the Dutch side were eliminated at the group stage.

Legendary. Very few artists deserve that description, but the Roots crew lived up to the title this past Saturday.
Led by iconic drummer Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson and talented MC Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter, the organic hip-hop jazz pioneers played generous host for the 2nd Annual Roots Picnic at Festival Pier, Penn's Landing Philly. Thanks to the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation and Philly 360 I got a chance to venture to the City of Brotherly Love for the day-long celebration.

One of the selling points of the KTMs seems to be their versatility as an all purpose motorcycle. The Austrian bike is capable of winning in the woods, inside a stadium, or outside on a rutted up motocross track. In this video, Jimmy Franks tears up his home compound and showcases the ability of the KTM in all sorts of terrain; riding through creek beds, the deep woods, on little turn tracks, and a motocross track as well. There are beautiful slow motion shots that show every particle of roost as it flies into the lens of the camera, every droplet of water as it's shot from the rear tire of the KTM, and the whole video has a cinematic tone throughout. You might as well watch this one in your gear, because you're gonna be loading your bike in the truck when it's all over.

It was the perfect day for the first of our safety drills – calm, sunny and warm. Fortunately no-one got wet and we practised how to cool a deck or bulkhead, and how to shield someone from the heat (by expanding the jet of water to fan out and create a wall of water) in case of a fire on the ship.
We've been steaming towards our working area since Saturday morning, and we are itching to get started with the main work of CTD stations and mooring operations. That work will start tomorrow morning, and I predict a sizeable audience for the first station at 6am!

Anyone drowning under piles of medical bills, credit card statements or notices of delinquency know just how stressful it can be to find the right kind of help for debt relief. With so many options like debt consolidation, debt negotiation and bankruptcy on the table, how do you know which is right for you?
Making Sense Of It All
First, debt consolidation isn't always what it seems. Many people find the offer to roll all of their debt obligations into one payment attractive. What they don't know is that these loans typically carry higher than average interest rates, often include steep penalties for defaulting and are likely to cost you more in the long run. Further, many of the debts rolled into a consolidation loan could be easily reduced or eliminated through other means.
Debt negotiation is one avenue that is often overlooked by many people. The reason is that dealing with creditors and arguing about ways to lower payments, reduce principal amounts owed or remove penalties can be tedious work. Most people would rather not put in the effort towards negotiating down their debts, often continuing to live under the pressure of financial hardship. The truth is that debt negotiation should be the first stop in your path of debt relief. Creditors don't advertise the fact that the opportunity to negotiate their debts is your right. Therefore, they may act unwilling to work with you.
This is where the power of research and representation come in handy. Did you know that a bankruptcy attorney can actually help you with debt negotiation even outside of filing for bankruptcy? It's true. There are a select few of Dayton bankruptcy attorneys that are accredited as debt arbitrators, meaning they are specially trained in the art of negotiating with creditors. There is no need to fight for debt relief alone. Consult with an attorney about your situation to find out how they can help.

After the excellent preformances of Harley, it became difficult for Ludo to hide his interest in Harley's brothers and sisters. We quickly came to an agreement and two daughters of Bamako out of the mother of Harley moved to their stables.
At the same time he bought a son of Chilli Wili out of our mare Kassandra.
We are convinced that they will give our products a lot of opportunities. They live horses, don't they?
Also this year we sell an embryo from the mother of Harley van den Bisschop by Bamako the Muze. From Kassandra we have an embryo of Levisto Z. If you are interested please call us on +32 475 27 89 87, also for other embryos, foals and horses.

Title: OU podcasts & Clive
Post by Kevin Cryan on Today at 21:17
I should not have thought that this Open University bulletin (http://www3.open.ac.uk/media/fullstory.aspx?id=11429) would displease Clive too much.
10 Jul 2007
Philosophy Podcast storms the download charts
Philosophy: The Classics is an introduction to 27 key works in the history of Philosophy beginning with Plato and Aristotle and including the work of Machiavelli, Hobbes and Locke.
The free downloads began in May and will continue until all 27 parts are available.
Nigel Warburton says: "Ive been recording these at home on simple equipment and have been amazed at how many people are downloading them thousands a day. There seems to be a real hunger for philosophy out there and I m delighted to be feeding it.
"For people with long journeys to work this is the perfect medium. Ive had appreciative emails from as far away as Brisbane. No radio station could give me this sort of coverage".
Nigel has written Philosophy course materials for the Open University at first, second and third level. He also chairs the University's highly successful Start Writing programme of short online courses on different aspects of writing. He is currently writing units on plagiarism and the ethics of copyright for a new Open University online course on Ethics.
Nigel also contributes to another free podcast called Philosophy Bites, where he and author David Edmonds interview top philosophers on a wide range of topics.
Nigel says: "For some reason Philosophy Bites is particularly popular in the USA where weve been in the iTunes top 100 for several weeks now".
The Open University offers many courses and qualifications on Philosophy ranging from the AXR271 Doing Philosophy residential school short course to Philosophy degrees and an MA in Philosophy.
One reviewer wrote of the podcasts: "They capture the basics in a comprehensible way. Its thought-provoking stuff".
Those people who are choosing to listen to the good Doctor (http://www.philclassics.libsyn.com/)'s podcasts rather than to Clive's are, I should think, listening to kind of stuff of which Clive could not possibly disapprove. Anybody who willingly listens to this kind of stuff is, I would say, is more than likely making an an honest attempt to stave off cultural amnesia which Clive thinks may be creeping up on us all. That's a good reason for rejoicing, isn't it?

Nor, as the TIMESONLINE (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/) helpful pop-up GUIDE TO PODCASTING (http://extras.timesonline.co.uk/tol/podcasts/guide.html) tells you, do you need one. All you need is a PC which has a conncection, preferably broadband, and the ability to carry out the instructions given in a guide such as the Times one.

"The ability to carry out the instructions given in a guide ..." you say, Mr Cryan.
In my case that's quite a tall order. :-/
In any event, I propose to stagger on without benefit of podcast - although I am delighted to hear that podcast aficionados are studying philosophy.
Very many thanks to you and Bogus for the kind advice, however.

WineDirect Offers Cloud-based Access to Telesales Activity
Submitted By: Lewis Perdue, January 20, 2014
Cloud-based Access to Telesales Activity Delivers Unparalleled Visibility for Wineries
WineDirect Outbound utilizes Vin65 platform to provide complete visibility for wineries and sales reps alike
January 20, 2014, (Napa, CA) - WineDirect Outbound (formerly Call for Wine) announces a full deployment of their campaign tools on sister company Vin65 technology, delivering both winery employees and telesales representatives cloud-based visibility into all customer information and call history.
This cloud-based software allows each telesales representative to maximize his or her efforts, resulting in increased sales, streamlined operations, and improved customer satisfaction. At the same time, winery personnel have unparalleled visibility into all customer interactions.
Key Benefits
• Wineries have full real-time visibility into each customer's call history with WineDirect Outbound. That information becomes part of the customer record.
• Orders flow directly into the OMS and are promptly processed, with no need for re-keying of data by winery employees.
• Live inventory counts eliminate the possibility of overselling.
• With this new technology, winery staff and WineDirect Outbound can now work hand-in-hand on campaign planning, forecasting and execution.
• The integration allows for rapid communication between winery staff and sales representatives.
• Credit cards can be pre-authorized or processed in real time, preventing the need for a customer call back.
Features for Wineries
All calls are logged in the winery's CRM, providing a view into which sales representatives are calling which customers on any given day.
• Purchase history, notes, and activity logs are all available in real time.
• Each customer record includes complete call details
"At-a-glance" reports include both aggregate and campaign level detail.
• Aggregate reports show campaign, sales rep, and call performance.
• Campaign level reports show both sales representative performance and overall sales for a specific campaign, allowing the winery to easily measure effectiveness.
Product and campaign setup are managed in the Vin65 OMS.
• The Vin65 List Builder tool is used to set up campaigns, providing access to previous order data, club data, call responsiveness, or any information captured via web forms.
• Products and pricing are updated in real time through the Vin65 OMS.
• Any changes made by sales reps, whether to products, orders or customer records, are logged and can be viewed by the winery.
Features for Sales Reps
• When placing calls, sales reps have access to all customer data, including club memberships, previous purchases, favorite products, and social media activity.
• Sales reps can authorize the credit card and check both inventory and compliance while on the phone. Orders can be held for winery review or processed immediately.
• Sales reps have a seamless connection to the winery team, allowing them to access customer notes, preferences, and contact history.
"There is nothing more effective than maintaining close contact with your customers. But it's equally important to ensure a seamless experience between all touch points," said Terry Hegarty, General Manager of WineDirect Outbound. "Real time access to call data provides WineDirect Outbound and our winery clients the opportunity to fine tune campaigns and maximize results".
In short, WineDirect Outbound and Vin65 provide the marketing tools and customer relationship management (CRM) features needed to effectively manage a winery's Direct-to-Consumer sales in one easy-to-use system.

Boko Haram members on Wednesday, returned 104 of the girls of the Dapchi while five of the girls were said to have died in captivity, Liya Sharibu, the only Christian among them, was detained for allegedly refusing to convert to Islam or wear the hijab. Many Nigerians are saying the federal government must do all it can to bring back the only remaining Dapchi girl. See reactions below;
It's no longer news that the only girl that was left behind amongst the Dapchi girls was a Christian. I don't blame Buhari or Boko Haram: I blame CAN, PFN and Osinbajo. For God sake do something for this little girl that refuses to renounce her faith and that stands for Christ!
— Femi Fani-Kayode (@realFFK) March 22, 2018
Please lets not forget that the only Christian girl abducted by Boko Haram in Dapchi is still being held in their custody. All were released except her .it's surprising that the media isn't emphasising on this. Is she not worth releasing because she is Christian??
