Acclaimed writer and historian Deborah E. Lipstadt must battle for historical truth to prove the Holocaust actually occurred when David Irving, sues her for being libel when she called him a Holocaust denier.
I do remember when this film was due to be released and I kept seeing the trailer it looked like it would be a very powerful drama with an outstanding cast. That is exactly what the film is, eventually managing to catch up with it thanks to Amazon Video having it on pretty quickly.
The thing with the film is that it is highlighting an issue of a very real battle which makes you very shocked that anyone would even claim that something so devastating and horrific as the Holocaust was just made up and not real. How and why would anyone make up such a tragic and sadistic thing. The film therefore focuses on the trial and has some brilliant scenes and acting to go along with it.
With all of that it does offer some interesting thoughts surrounding freedom of speech and how in reality we don't actually have that. Does everything have to be proven in order for it to be taken seriously? If you cannot prove something and it is just a persons words does that really stand up as reality? Well, those are some of the things that this film made me really think about which I guess takes everything a lot deeper than you may first expect.
It is pretty impressive that the dialogue from the court scenes is taken from the actual trial records, I think that shows that they really did want to have it as real as possible not adding anything in but presenting the court case like it was in real life. Which I think is very important to the build up to the trial in the film.
Rachel Weisz is in the leading role and she blew me away in all honesty, I thought she was just brilliant as Deborah E. Lipstadt fully engaging from start to finish really driving the film forward with great chemistry with Tom Wilkinson and Andrew Scott. Seriously though every time I see Scott he is more and more impressive. Timothy Spall taking on a not very nice role really in David Irving is still brilliant as well with such a tough character to play.
A drama like this really does rely on the performances which were brilliant and you cannot fault any member of the cast and the roles they play bring everything to life on-screen. I just felt everyone more than brought it for each role and that was very pleasant and reassuring to see from start to finish. I always find it frustrating that a very important story and well acted film like this does not get a bigger cinema release to give more people a chance to see it before heading to steaming services/tv now which is such a shame! I really do recommend that you watch this one for the powerful performances.

India began their tour of England yesterday against Sussex. Dinesh Karthik (76), Gautam Gambhir ( 81), Rahul Dravid (57 no) and VVS Laxman (37 no) propped India upto 281/3.
There is an interesting story about tour games against counties in England. An English captain, turning out for his county, wanted a particular batsman to score runs, once his more competent and proficient competitior got out in the opposing side. So he asked his main bowler to just bowl a few hittable balls so that the guy could score and get selected for the Test team. After about an hour, the batsman ahd rttled up 80 odd runs in no time. The captain went upto the bowler and said, that was enough and that he could get him out now. The bowler replied "What do I think I have been trying to do for the last 5 overs?"
So the moral of the story – If Jaffer failed and Gambhir is found vulnerable against swing bowling then allow him to get a few!

Free Hong Kong Company Name Check – Benefit for Entrepreneurs
Though it should come as no surprise that different people would choose the same company name, no two limited companies in Hong Kong are allowed to share/have the same company name. Complete form located at this page to get a Free Hong Kong Company Name Check on Hong Kong company name availability. Our company incorporation package included free Hong Kong company name search and HK company name check.
In Hong Kong, a business name is defined as the name that a business uses in operation. A business name can be different from a trademark used by the business for identification and promotion of products and services (as offered by the business). Do note that registering a business name does not guarantee that other person's registered trademark will not be infringed – especially when the business name is similar as or confusingly similar to the existing registered trademark.
Is Hong Kong Company Name Check Necessary?
Generally, company names are doled out on a first-come, first served basis. If your proposed company name has been registered or proposed to be registered by another company, the application of that company name will be rejected. In addition to this, you might run into trademark issues if your company and other's fall within the same category or are confusingly similar. You might be liable for trademark infringement or trademark dilution if your company name is substantially similar to the existing company name.
As such, running a Hong Kong company name check on Hong Kong company name availability has become a necessary step to rule out the possibilities of duplication as well as to ensure the availability of the name that you select. The company name check is particularly important to your branding strategy that can distinguish your brand from other existing brands or business names.
How to Run Hong Kong Company Name Check?
To avoid fracas or dispute over similar company name, it is advisable to run a Hong Kong company name search free of charge via:
- Company Registry's Cyber Search Centre, or
- Company Search Mobile Service
Company Registry's Cyber Search Centre
- It is one of the company name check platforms that you can perform Hong Kong company name search for free.
- The Cyber Search Centre of the Integrated Companies Registry Information System ("ICRIS") allows you to conduct name searches online in either English or Chinese on the current data of registered companies.
- "Left Partial" or "Exact Name"
- When you initiate the name search, you are given two choices for name search: left partial or exact name.
- Left partial, as the name implies, means that if any of those words are in any company name, either active or old, the name will come up.
- Certified Screen Print
- You can pay to have a certified screen print – you purchase the right to take a screenshot for professional use.
On top of the online name search services, you can also engage our free name search service.

For whatever reason, today I feel like I'm running from stick to stick, trying to keep spinning plates from wobbling and falling to the floor with a crash.
I can't seem to settle to anything - perhaps it is the unsettled weather we are having - sun one moment, blustery wind, pelting rain, lashes of hail. Repeat.
There is, as well, the issue of a few critical deadlines approaching, rather more rapidly than I feel capable of managing.
Feeling overwhelmed with it all, I went to knitting drop-in and enjoyed an hour or so of listening to the chit chat, inserting a comment here and there and working the needles. Since getting home, though, I have flitted from here to there to back again, thoughts like fireflies, never alighting anywhere for long enough to be considered truly productive.
Just to add to the confusion, I've just emailed the Handwoven editor inquiring about the specific deadline for an upcoming issue (can't seem to shut the creative juices off!) and which will, no doubt, fall smack in the middle of the rest of the deadline crop I am already ignoring.
However, I have managed to work on a few things - green mat warp cut and serged, and the next mat warp ready to be beamed. After taking stock of the 50 yard warp, now about half woven, the pending t-storm, the stack of paperwork that needs doing - I decided to wimp out and not fire up the AVL in case of a power outage and work on other stuff. I can go back to the AVL tomorrow, hopefully feeling refreshed for having taken a break from that warp.
Today is Wednesday. At some point in the next few days I have to go to the guild room and re-arrange it for the sale/demo event on Saturday, pack up and deliver to the room yarns I have for sale, bring my ledger up to date and balance my cheque book (both of them, business and personal, both woefully late), pull the books/reference material for Olds, start packing for Olds and Complex Weavers Seminars.
I am awaiting replies to a couple of emails regarding potential work for the future (i.e. after CW Seminars) - because you know, I didn't have enough deadlines in July and August.
We leave for Olds in two and a half weeks and in between I have maintenance appointments, blog posts to write, studio deadlines and Life Happenings.
Status quo, then. Spin, plates. Spin!

Emma Tenayuca
Powered by children 7 to 12 years old working dawn to dusk, Samuel Slater's thread-spinning factory went into production in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, launching the Industrial Revolution in America. By 1830, 55 per cent of the mill workers in the state were youngsters, many working for less than $1 per week. – 1790
Labor organizer, community activist, and civil rights advocate Emma Tenayuca was born in San Antonio. Her advocacy for the working poor, especially Mexican American women, led her to become known as "La Pasionaria". She was an inspiration to future generations of labor and civil rights activists.

Exclusive! Check Out The New PlastCraft ColorED Terrain For Infinity
April 21, 2015 by brennon
PlastCraft Games have knocked the ball out of the park once again when it comes to their Designed for Infinity line-up as this time they've come up with the new ColorED range which is pre-coloured and ready for the tabletop...
Assemble & Play
As you can see in the terrain below it's very much in keeping with their existing TME range of scenery so if you already own some of this then you'll have something that fits right in...
All the terrain you see above comes in a pack that simply needs to be put together before being ready to play with. It matches the scale of the miniatures from Infinity very well as you can see and even has some nice distressing and weathering to make it fit into a battlezone.
This all looks great and it would be fantastic to have a closer look at this. Thankfully we should have some of this in the studio soon to open up and have a look at. If it goes together easily then we're in for a real treat when it comes to setting up new Infinity boards.
Want More?
This range of terrain will officially release in May but if you want to get a look at it before then come along to Salute 2015 and you can pick up a limited quantity of it there as well as seeing the range in the 'plastic'.
The Infinity range isn't the only range getting this treatment even though it will be the first. Each of the other ranges will also get themselves pre-coloured terrain like this in the near future.
What do you think of it?
"...it's very much in keeping with their existing TME range."
"This range of terrain will officially release in May but if you want to get a look at it before then come along to Salute 2015..."

Lucas Damoff investigates the attitude of gluttony in the second post of a Lenten series examining the seven deadly sins.
In 2013, the French electronica duo Daft Punk released a trailer for their upcoming album at the Coachella music festival. Anticipation was high, as they had not released any new material since 2005. The story goes that Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, the members of the duo, looked on in amusement as the main stage crowd went wild at the first few snippets of sound. What was so amusing was that even though both of the men were wildly popular, and standing right there among the cheering and adoring crowd, no one recognized them for who they were.
Gluttony is not a very popular sin. Or perhaps, more precisely, gluttony is an incredibly popular sin that is hardly ever recognized for what it is. The members of Daft Punk purposefully disguise their identities on stage with futuristic helmets and dramatic costumes. How gluttony has managed to fly under the radar is not as clear. We have probably all been guilty of it at one time or another, yet so often the only discomfort it causes us comes from the pangs of indigestion and not pangs of conscience.
So let's go back to basics. What is gluttony? It is not simply overeating or being overweight, but rather an attitude towards that lends itself to such things. We might do well to begin by defining gluttony as taking more than we need. It is having seconds when our first helping satisfied our hunger. It is taking two cookies at the end of a meal instead of one.
Now a criticism might come that this is an awfully draconian view of life. Doesn't God want us to enjoy the Creation that He made? Didn't He make food so that it was both nourishing and enjoyable to eat? Is it really so bad to sometimes eat simply in order for the pleasure one takes in the flavors? To this I would say, of course!
But one must be incredibly diligent to examine where one is finding delight. And this is where we might want to nuance our first definition: gluttony seeks pleasure from taking more than is needed. So I must ask myself, is the enjoyment I get from food filled with gratitude to the God who made such wonderful food and has given me such an abundance? Or does my enjoyment only have the thing itself in view? The first might well be a worshipful experience, the second is most certainly not.
It is fair to say that most of us could do with a lot less than what we have. We are blessed to live in a culture that is experiencing a season of great abundance. But this Lent let us all take times to consider, how much do we look at our abundance itself to give us comfort and joy, instead of the God from which all abundance flows? How often do we thoughtlessly take more than what we need simply because our culture tells us we can afford it than it is our right to do so?
If every moral prohibition has an accompanying positive command, than a prohibition on gluttony has its corollary in joyfully sharing our resources, even to the point of doing without. The early monastics made a practice of fasting, in part for the sake of their spiritual discipleship, but also in part to be generous. In the limitation of the economy of their age skipping a meal meant they had food to give to someone else who was hungry. We may not always see an one to one correlation between practicing temperance and the ability to be generous to the poor, but cultivating the one may very well lead us further into the practice of the other.
This Lent may we take the time to do all of this in humble gratitude to Jesus Christ that we may find our hearts transformed. That we no longer look to the fleeting things of this world for comfort and joy, but instead find a deeper richer fuller joy in the one who forsook the abundance of heaven in order to generously give from His own body the food and drink which nourishes us not merely temporally, but into all eternity.

I've been home a total of two days and already had one crisis about the future. Welcome to the post-grad life. All that confident talk about waiting to see what God has in store for me, how I'm willing to follow and be obedient and be faithful until things start to happen is true, but it doesn't mean I'm not going to have small meltdowns every once in a while.
We were making cookies, my mom and me. The short days make everyone sleepy, and we'd both been fighting sleepiness more than usual. Also, it turns out that yesterday was the shortest day of the year. Yes, this does make people more melancholy and woeful than usual.
We were cutting out sugar cookies, because those are the most sentimental of all the Christmas cookies for me. She was holding the parchment paper while I rolled out the ball of dough right on it. Then we'd cut out the cookies and peel away the extra dough instead of moving the cookies. It was making for fewer fallen angels and dopey trees.
It had only been one day of not having purpose and not knowing what's ahead.
"I'm just feeling like I need hope, like I need perspective about what's coming."
She got it. "It's only been one day. You've got lots of things coming up. Christmas is coming. You'll go back to Loft and work. You can follow up with the places you applied."
She's right. It helped a little. Sometimes it's hard to fight how you feel though. My mind was starting to agree with her though.
"You just have to act yourself into a better way of feeling." That works. She'd know, being a former counselor. If I act with purpose and create some structure where there isn't much, that'll help.
I still felt the melancholy though.
It didn't help that my dad came in and told my mom about their plane ticket reservation. She's going with him on a business trip. Over Valentine's Day weekend. Somewhere warm. It makes sense – someone should actually enjoy the warmth while he's in meetings. I just graduated. I don't get vacations yet. I wouldn't spend Valentine's Day with my parents anyways. It's not like it'll be much different that they aren't there.
We kept rolling out the cookies and putting sprinkles on some. Rolling out cookies is a process. We'd only made a half recipe, but it took a couple hours to get them all cut out and baked.
Today I ran errands, created purpose in a day where the only thing I had to do was go to church for a short rehearsal for Christmas Eve. I braved traffic to the post office, went to meet my new boss and offer all my hours, grocery shopped with everyone and their grandma, and went to the library.
I went to print something, but when the printer was busy, I found myself looking at the books. And then looking for books I'd heard recommended.
And ended up walking out with all of these.
Even though I'm already reading two books and won't be able to finish these in just two weeks, most likely.
Well, maybe I can.
I told my dad that this is why I graduated college a semester early, to read whatever I wanted in larger quantities.
He laughed, but we both know it's a little bit true.
Reading is a contribution to a future in publishing. And it give purpose. It's like traveling to a warm place with someone you love but less expensive and more sedentary.
This is what I'll be doing until I start working full-time. Thank the good Lord for public libraries.

A rumor has spread out that the search giant Google has now stopped its own Google Dictionary service, while a message has arrived on the web page of the Google dictionary by stating "Google Dictionary is no longer available, so you have to search on the official website or have to use Google Translate in order to find any kind of definition or translation."
Before starting of the service Google has allowed its user to check definition of the words by attaching the word "define" as a prefix with it, this code has been there for a long period. There after in July 2010 Google has started this service by assigning those definitions for certain words automatically and placed the linked results above the web search place.
But the most interesting news is that this beautiful search giant has not yet detailed anything while this service was going away from its official blog or was that going away to other supported websites. Moreover this have also not be cleared while this Dictionary service was discontinued.
Regarding this purpose many people all over the world have now started to signed up on the Google's support forum and joined to the "I need Dictionary" in order to find out what is happening exactly. Also they have already placed few questions regarding this purpose there like "Why Google Dictionary is no longer available in the website?" or sometimes they have posted a very angry message by stating that Google Translate Service and Google Web Search Service are not enough as a replacement of the Dictionary website.
At this point it somehow looks like that Google has killed Google Dictionary Service in order to redirect the visitors towards their main websites, but there are still some who do not take this situation at all.

We started our journey from Ponferrada, and decided to make the first stop on our trip somewhere in the Basque Country. Our choice was the city of San Sebastian, very close to the border, and camping Igueldo. However, that weekend were the holidays, and the campground was full, so I finally stopped in the beautiful town of Zarautz (where the restaurant's Gourmet Desserts, certainly).
We almost overnight, so we had to stay at the campsite, which suited us to leave early the next day to Toulouse, Zarautz but I pointed one of my earrings destinations, since what little I saw I loved. The camping also called Zarautz and was located on a hill from which had amazing views of the beach and village. If you think this site quedaros hope tengais luckier than us and I do not put on a plot on slope (everything else was full), otherwise it is a pretty good site, too big for my taste, but with everything you could need: very large bathrooms, shop, restaurant, bar…
The next day we crossed the border and headed to Toulouse, a 3 and a half hours of Zarautz. The French tolls are a bit different from the Spaniards and more numerous, Most people no booths and you have to pay toll or, card or coins or throwing a basket (yes, yes, a curious invention…). Best of the French motorways are rest areas, calls aires, and often have picnic, toilets, stations, Restaurants, supermarkets and even showers. Yes, in one I found that instead of toilet was a hole in the ground and two raised surfaces to put your feet and not getting wet… something he had only seen for years in the cellars where wine will cost 30 pesetas… viva progress…
That day we were in the Camping Toulouse Le Rupé, the best we stayed in the whole trip in my opinion (only the bathroom was pure luxury and, Round and plant a garden in the middle). To reach the city center deste the campsite you have to cross a river, catch a bus to La Vache, and then take the metro to the center. The bus ticket is for the metro, so do not waste your, and if they ask the same site will give you hours of bus and subway to and.
Toulouse me pleasantly surprised, perhaps because it is not as famous as the other cities we visited and my expectations were lower, but I found a very young city and bohemian, both in the streets and shops and bars. We started visiting the Capitol Square, chaired by imposing this huge building facade, and we follow The Jacobins, church whose columns are palm-shaped domes. Nearby is the Musée des Augustins, and a little further north you will find the Basilica of St Sernin (San Saturnino), considered one of the most beautiful Romanesque churches of French Romanesque. And you can not go away from Toulouse bypassing the Pont Neuf and see the Garonne. We were looking forward to visiting the Cité de l'Espace, where you can see how it is assembled from an Airbus to a mythical Concorde, a rocket or Mir.
De Toulouse fuimos a Carry Le Rouet (4 hours approximately) passing, but without stopping, By Carcassone. From the highway you can perfectly see the huge castle and it is amazing, so pack your camera ready. That night we stayed in the Camping Lou Soleï, another huge camping, thought more for caravan tent, while the floor was pebbles instead of grass. It is located right in front of the beach, entertain offersnimientos as karaoke in the restaurant, addition to pool, and it shows in the price. The strange thing was I had extreme security: until all fenced with barbed wire, four security officer at the door, Revolving doors are operated only with magnetic key…
The original idea was to get, pitch the tent and go to see Marseille by train, but communication was not as good as imagined and had only an hour trains, getting the last at 7 and little in the afternoon, so we were in Carry Le Rouet the day. This proved to be a really cute town, with a very nice harbor area, quite elegant houses and bars and restaurants very careful and not so expensive as they seem at first sight (a martini on a terrace facing the port 3 €, for example). Yes, not one supermarket, and is a site designed to move more walking than walking.
And the next day Saint Tropez and Monaco…

Post subject: The 30th Anniversary of the Riots in Britain
I listen regularly to Jeremy's show and have always found it to represent fair and balanced output - until today
Having just listened to around 40 minutes from the second hour today I have to say seldom have I heard such a biased and unbalanced discussion programme ever.
We had one contributor from the black community who as good as admitted that the riots were a cover for wanton criminality and a former police officer who to me seemed totally unrepresentative of the forces of law and order and who would seem to have got his feet under the Vine table ever since he first appeared on a very interesting show concerning the stress suffered by undercover police officers
I sincerely hope hope that the BBC receives numerous complaints about today's show as it is supposed to fulfil a role as an unbiased source of information and not as an apologist for criminality even 30 years ago
To me the show highlighted exactly what is wrong with this country today and why in this country many people no longer have any respect for decent standards
Are you ready for a Ruddles?

I couldn't agree more. Most of the people who were interviewed still find it right too riot.. It's a shame David Cameron didn't say the same as Thatcher did when the student riots happened in London.

There is in my view a world of difference between recent events in London and the rioting in 1981
Firstly the young people who were protesting recently had far greater justification for doing so in view of the fact they were conned by Nick Clegg as they saw it over the issue of tuition fees and the march was mainly peaceful with only a minority of protesters causing violence and criminal damage which obviously nobody would defend
However the rioters back in 1981 were exactly that - deliberate rioters who made no attempts at peaceful protest to get across their point and who used the excuse of alleged racial discrimination as a fig leaf to cover up blatent criminality carried out by well organised gangs of thugs intent on maximum destruction
Sadly those groups were rewarded by having their whole communities rebuilt (the very same ones they destroyed) paid for by the rest of us at a time when Britain was on its knees financially and was suffering cuts almost as severe as today
It really makes me mad that in this country if people can justify criminal conduct on alleged racial grounds then effectively they can do what they like with impunity simply because nobody wants to rock the boat by standing up to it

I didn't hear this programme Riddlescat so cannot comment but I would like to pick up on your ridiculous comparison Mark.
Firstly the rioters in London who caused "crininal damage" not the people who occupied F&M were a break away group only a few hundred and I suggest you google Blackblock Mark. It would not surprise me in the least if this breakaway small number were paid to do what they did by the right wing of this country to undermine the whole peaceful demonstration. But I have no proof of this.
They were no way either connected with the TUC who organised the march or Ukuncut who were involved in the occupation of F&M. This video below is well worth watching if you want to get into the mindset of Ukuncut I have nothing but respect for the leader of Ukuncut Adam Ramsey who I follow on Twitter.
The representative definiately needs a haircut
but I love the bit with the dalek at the end, this has since been edited out but they put a cupcake on him
I also had many friends who are severely disabled who took part in the march on the 27th March and they said everything was ok until they were kettled by the Police when the very small number (Blackblock) started causing criminal damage, then the whole thing changed and so did understandably the police reaction.
Ukuncut are a very large group of young peole who feel strongly and want to protect and change this country for the better. At last the young are taking an interest in politics and the future and it should be applauded!!
Shame on the BBC for their very biast reporting and the above video is clear evidence of that yet it never appeared on the mainstream news!!!! Why?

Btw if you look at videos of the latest youth movement in Spain you will see Ukuncut banners!!
The young adults of the world are standing up for what they believe in and we need to listen to them and if we don't it will be at our peril. They are our future
They also have the medium to do it by i.e. twitter and facebook. The young people even those with good qualifications are not going to sit back jobless with no future and something needs to be done and quick! 43% unemployed in Spain clearly is unacceptable and bound to lead to anarchy!

text: New York Times Best Selling Author Brendan Kiely returned once again to speak to teachers and students at Vernon Township High School about a variety of subjects ranging from tolerance and understanding to how to get reluctant readers to read a book. One of his four Young Adult novels, All American Boys, is taught at the tenth grade level and his other novels are regularly circulating out of the school library. One of Kiely's pervasive themes in his books is fostering both deep respect for those who are different from us as well as resounding compassion for all human beings, especially the vulnerable.

Birthday Party Ideas for Pregnant Women
A pregnant woman has different needs and wants than other women because of her condition, especially late in the pregnancy when she's uncomfortable. Due to this you have to take some things into consideration when planning a birthday party in her honour.
These include the consumption of alcohol, physical activities and the weather or environment. It is important to make sure the birthday celebration is focused on her and not the baby.
Spa party
Have a spa party. Pamper the momma-to-be with a manicure, pedicure, facial, massage or other treatments. This can be a girls' only party or one with guys as well. Set out all the supplies and treat one another. Serve some delicious goodies such as ice cream sundaes and good old-fashioned macaroni and cheese to make the day even more indulgent. She will feel like a queen and appreciate some much needed rest and pampering.
Television or Movie theme
Get the girls together and have a "Sex in the City" party or other movie-themed bash. Order her favourite take-out, bring over some movies and popcorn, and sit back and relax. Instead of alcoholic beverages serve "mocktails" that the pregnant honoured guest can drink. Or make it a day out on the town "Sex in the City" style; go shopping, eat at small hole-in-the-wall restaurants and even take her out for some dancing if she's up for it. Just make sure you don't rush too much or stay out too long as she may get tired.
Culinary Feast
Plan a food tour. Lots of cities offer culinary food tours just like wine tasting tours. . Just be sure the travel schedule doesn't involve an excessive amount of walking. Culinary bus tours may be preferable if she is having trouble walking.
Body Painting
Host a body painting party. Hire some professional body painters to come over and have a painting party. It's a lot of fun for a pregnant woman to get her belly painted and everyone else can join in. The photos are funny and the process actually feels good. It's a relaxing way to celebrate a birthday where the mother-to-be can be comfortable and have a good time.

Zeba started following The age old question, gas or coal, Soft metal practice, Ordering steel UK and and 1 other
Soft metal practice
Zeba posted a topic in Problem SolvingI had a thought about practicing certain techniques and hammer methods on soft metals such as aluminium as a way of not using the useful steel for simple practice pieces. Simply using soft metals to mimic hot iron in how it would move as a way to see how to move metal, but because hot steel would react differantly I don't knkw if this is a very good idea for anything more than basic hammer technique Is this an idea that could work?
Ordering steel UK
Zeba replied to Zeba's topic in Blacksmithing, General DiscussionAwesome, thank you for the information so I just have to look around to find where is best for what volume of stee I need? and one last question, anybody know where I could get a large block of mild steel to weld a bit of hardened steel onto for an anvil?
Ordering steel UK
Zeba posted a topic in Blacksmithing, General DiscussionI have never had to order anything online without having a simple click system like amazon to use so this is all new to me. I have heard of websites like Furnival steel and argent steel being good suppliers in the UK but I am unsure how to order. Is it as simple as emailing them or is there a certain system of it? I decided to ask here so I can get a basic idea of what to expect first or if there are other better suppliers. I am unable to drive so traveling to a local steel supplier is not an easy task unfortunately.
Cleaning up an improvised anvil
Zeba replied to Zeba's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and MandrelsI was rather hoping I could have it horizontal to make use of more surface area. But I am guessing by having more metal undercmy hammer it becomes more stable and useful right?
The age old question, gas or coal
Zeba replied to Zeba's topic in Solid Fuels: Coal, Coke, Charcoal, Wood, etcThank you all for this information, I will have my forge right up against the door for ventilation and have a CO monitor about a meter away along with a metal bucket next to it.
Cleaning up an improvised anvil
Zeba posted a topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and MandrelsI mamaged to get this big lump of metal (no idea what it was) but it is pretty big and heavy so i think it would make a good first anvil but I am not sure how best to clean it up, i was thinking of angle grinding it to a smooth surface and laying on a log with something through the centre hold to fix it in place. I have several pictures including a tape measure for size. Ps could the pointed end be rounded off for a makeshift horn?
The age old question, gas or coal
Zeba replied to Zeba's topic in Solid Fuels: Coal, Coke, Charcoal, Wood, etcThank you all for the information, I think my first forge will be a simple JABOD forge to get me started without being to complex a build and I will certainly remember to keep the garage doors at all times since that is my only ventilation at the moment.
The age old question, gas or coal
Zeba replied to Zeba's topic in Solid Fuels: Coal, Coke, Charcoal, Wood, etcMy main concern is the safety, I have heard that gas forges give off more CO which is a key reason why I am leaning for a coal forge as well as it being simpler to build than a propane forge from what I have seen in my research.
The age old question, gas or coal
Zeba replied to Zeba's topic in Solid Fuels: Coal, Coke, Charcoal, Wood, etcI should have clarified it better, I plan on having it by the door where any harmful fumes would be much less of a worry, the lack of smoke is preferable due to not wanting to have any problems with it blowing across the house or the neighbors house. my initial idea is to have some wheels for easy movement yes and I have looked into coke but it seems more difficult and expensive to get in south wales compared to anthracite.
Now I am aware this has been asked many times and personally I am in favour of a coal forge but before I make my forge I was hoping for opinions from those more experienced. My workshop is an a single car sixed garage next to the house and my only ventilation is having the doors open, I will be making mostly small pieces at first until I develop my skills to where I would feel more comfortable moving metal. since smoke would be an issue without a chimney I would be buying anthracite coal or coke for the fuel, which I know will have a learning curve due to the reputation of anthracite. Given the situation is a coal forge the better and safer choice or should I consider using gas?

The progressive studio Bonobo, based in Zagreb, is oriented on the production and distribution of animated and experimental films.
It was established in 2008 after the sunset of Kenges studio which was operating in the field for almost ten years. The trend of founding smaller production and distribution companies in Croatia supervenes the development of modern technologies that enable the making of animated films to be faster and easier. Thus artistically valuable films are created with the support of the Ministry of Culture, in independent productions as well. The shared target of Kenges and Bonobo is to support the creativity and expression of individual artists and discover new potentialities of animation. The presentation of films from their distribution will display different styles and themes. Among others the critically praised debut of Veljko Popović with She, Who Measures (2008) will be shown – with an unconventional view on the consumer society. The art director of studio Bonobo, Simon Bogojević Narath (video-installations, experimental and animated films) will personally introduce three of his most interesting films (Plasticat, 2002; Morana, 2008; Leviathan, 2006). The controversial adaptation of Hobbes philosophical doctrine Leviathan (1651) deserves special attention. A copy of this film was obtained exclusively from French distribution. The unique lecture will end with an introduction to Bonobo's latest projects.

Getting your sensor data faster with VEGA Tools app
- 1 March 2019
Industrial equipment spread out over a wide area, with high tanks or potentially explosive zones, poses an enormous challenge to the implementation of digitisation and Industry 4.0 concepts. To reach difficult-to-access or dangerous measuring points from a safe distance, VEGA offers the option of parameterizing sensors and reading out their measured values via Bluetooth on a smartphone or tablet with the VEGA Tools app. The advantages are obvious: especially easy to operate, all data permanently available in real time, and numerous possibilities for upgrading in the future.
With the Tools app from VEGA, sensors can be controlled wirelessly over distances of up to 25 metres and accessed directly – without technicians having to climb high ladders or go into hazardous environments.
You can download this app by link: AppStore / Android.

Principal's Office
My son was called to the assistant principal's office today for making a vulgar gesture and comment. I won't describe it exactly here, but it all started with him saying, "hey guys, do you like nuts?"
That pretty much says it all.
Also this week, I allowed myself to get caught up in gossip-rumor land and made a total ass out of myself over something that was so not a big deal after all. It reminds me that no matter how much I like people, and how trustworthy they are (could I trust them to save my life, or drive my child to the beach? yes), secondhand information should be treated as hearsay is in court (at least the way it is on "Law & Order").
Hopefully my Friend With a Better Blog Than Mine has forgiven me and will forget that I made a hormonal ass of myself.
My son spent more than an hour in the principal's office. This is a kid who gets in trouble for laughing too much but that's about it. Mr. Arendall said he was "bawling his eyes out." We'll see what happens. Hubby and I were dumbfounded. He was already going to be grounded for leaving his bedroom light on when he left for school (how many hundreds of times have we told him to turn the lights OFF when he leaves a room?). This is sort of the icing on the cake.
I wonder where he learned his little testicular joke? We really don't talk "nuts and balls" around our house. And the television is closely monitored. Who knows. It was only a matter of time.
Let the life of crime begin.

CHOCOWINITY, N.C. (WNCT)- The Southside Seahawks played host to the Northside Panthers Friday night as both teams battled for their annual Anchor Bowl.
Southside, looking to keep the Anchor Trophy for the second year in a row, got off to a quick start. Running back Matt Baxter dodges the Panthers and runs one in to put the first points on the board.
The Jaguars looked to answer back. Northside quarterback Jackson Midgette throws one deep, buts it's picked off. Zikajah Crawford with the interception.
Then later in the first, Johnny Sullivan with the quarterback keeper. He runs it all the way in for a Seahawks touchdown. Southside up 14-0 at the end of the first.
Later in the fourth, running back Lawrence Brown breaks away and goes all the way for another Seahawks touchdown.
Southside wins the Anchor Bowl 44-8.

We visited Charleston, South Carolina over Easter. It was a long drive, punctuated by torrents of rain, license plate games, podcasts, a glimpse of King Kong grabbing an airplane in Myrtle Beach, and diverting detours along some country roads as the WAZE app tried to zip us around traffic jams. We saw lots of farm stands, sweet grass basket huts and tiny little barbecue joints with packed parking lots.
Charleston has become a foodie destination. Traditional Southern foods have been rediscovered by the young who are hankering for "authentic" fried chicken, mac and cheese, barbecue, shrimp and grits and delectable biscuits. On another trip to Charleston a few years ago we sought out Martha Lou's Kitchen on Morrison St. to try the fried chicken of which the New York Times had rhapsodized poetic. A couple of generations of Charlestonians would be horrified to be discovered by the New York Times because they have been lining up for the chicken, collards and corn bread at the tiny establishment for years. It was not a place for crowds, so we were happy that there was room enough for us. http://marthalouskitchen.com
On this Easter road trip, which was a mini-family reunion, we tried someplace new that the Tall One had heard about. We wandered into the Butcher and Bee (also on Morrison St.) expecting conventional Southern cuisine, but found instead a Mediterranean/American eatery with a local food aesthetic that was fairly hip, very friendly and creative. https://butcherandbee.com We by-passed the pleasant dining room, and sat outside under budding trees, so the youngest of us could expend some energy in the clever minimalist-designed wooden play area, with restaurant-supplied trucks and toys. There were seven of us, all very particular, and we each tried something different. Among our choices were a pickle plate, hummus (with schug which sent us all scurrying for Google info: Yeminite chile relish), a rice bowl, an Israeli breakfast for two, and even a burger!
I had an early spring salad with snap peas, radishes, fennel, strawberries and lemon buttermilk vinaigrette. (And a side order of fries, because we can only be so healthy.) The addition of the snap peas was a revelation! I have never thought of adding peas to a salad. I have tossed snow peas into stir fry, and English peas into Fettucini Alfredo, but sugar snap peas cold and in a salad, lightly bathed in buttermilk dressing? Genius. They were better than croutons! It was almost as pleasant as memories of childhood, eating peas from the garden.
Tiny little snap pea pods are sweet and crunchy, unlike English peas, which need to be shelled. And snow peas, while you can eat them from stem to stern, have thinner shells and are flaccid, yet are quite deelish in their modest way.
It's probably too late this year to plant your own peas, but it is worth putting a note on your calendar to start a snap pea farm of your own next March. You can even grow them in containers, so you have more to enjoy than just grocery store basil plants.
Here are some other pea recipe ideas:
If you feel you must cook them:
Buttered Green Sugar Snap Peas
1 pound sugar snap peas
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon shredded fresh mint
Pluck off and discard the string from each pea pod.
Bring salted water to boil; there should be enough to cover peas when added. Add peas. When water returns to a boil, cook about 3 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain.
Return peas to saucepan. Add pepper, salt, butter and mint. Stir to blend until the pieces are well coated and hot. Serve immediately. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/3266-buttered-green-sugar-snap-peas
If you will try their sweet deliciousness raw:
"If you don't like peas, it is probably because you have not had them fresh. It is the difference between reading a great book and reading the summary on the back"
― Lemony Snicket

My objective is to print a continuously updating time stamp on every second of a ten-minute video recording instead of one that updates every minute. I'm running the picamera module of python version 2.7 on Raspberry Pi zero.
So far, I have been able to place a time stamp on the first and last frames of the video recording but not in between. Here is my coded attempt for displaying the time stamp.
camera.annotate_background = picamera.Color('black') #this determines the background color
camera.annotate_text = datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') #places timestamp on first frame of video
date_string=time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M") #this gets the time as a string
camera.start_recording('/home/pi/Desktop/Mouse_Monitoring/IS-11255x_' + date_string + '.h264') #camera begins recording and file is saved under this name
start = datetime.datetime.now() #this stores the time that recording starts
print(start) #this prints time that recording starts
while (datetime.datetime.now() - start).seconds < (segment_length_min*60): #this indicates to continue filming until you reach the maximize time for a given recording sgement
camera.annotate_text = datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') #this places a timestamp on final frame of video
time.sleep(5) #this allows enough time to place the final timestamp on the video
camera.stop_recording() #terminates recording
Here, the camera enters into the filming loop, places a timestamp on the first frame of the video, and then begins recording. It records until the video reaches the maximimum time for a given segment of video (e.g if you set the maximum time for a single recording to be five minutes, it will stop recording after five minutes and begin a new recording session). The camera.wait_recording line indicates how long to record for, and the camera.annotate_text line places a time in the Year/Month/Day/Hour/Minute/Second format on the final frame of the video recording. I initially tried moving the camera.annotate_text line inside the while statement, but it appears that when the camera.wait_recording line executes, it ignores any line of code below it until it is finished executing.
In summary, this coded attempt only displays an updating time stamp on the first and last frames of the video. I want to display the accurate time during every second of the video. I would be grateful for any suggestions you have on this matter. Thank you!

Games of the Week is a series intended to highlight a few games I find interesting across various professional sports. I'll also include a game of the "weak," showing off the worst matchups for each sport that I can find, and make some terrible predictions that will unfailingly be wrong. The "week," for all intents and purposes, will be Thursday to Thursday, so we're starting with NFL's Thursday Night Football. This one will be a bit late, which you already know, considering you're not reading it on Thursday.
NFL (Week One)
Game of the Weak: New York Jets at Buffalo Bills, 9/10 @ 1 PM ET
For the sake of variety, I'm going to mix up this category as much as possible, because frankly, I could put the Jets here almost every week. They're favored to lose every game they play this season, and they very well could go down as one of the least watchable football teams in years. I'd rather watch last year's 1-15 Browns than this Jets team – at least Terrelle Pryor did some fun stuff in Cleveland.
The Jets will open their season against a weird-ass Bills team whose two best receivers from last season, Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods, both now play for the Rams. I like QB Tyrod Taylor quite a bit – I feel he's one of the league's more underappreciated players – but it's hard to imagine Buffalo's passing game will get much going with rookie Zay Jones starting on one side and stone-handed Jordan Matthews (tied for the fourth-most drops in the league in 2016) on the other. Meanwhile, the Jets are starting Josh McCown.
The only other game that even got consideration here was the Blake Bortles vs Tom Savage showdown in Jaguars-Texans on Sunday, but even that's not all that close. Jets-Bills is gonna be an offensive abomination, and I pray for anyone subjected to seeing it on local TV.
Prediction: Bills 10, Jets 3
Player to Watch: LeSean McCoy, who goes for 150 yards and the game's only touchdown. Who else is gonna score here?
Honorable Mention: New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys, 9/10 @ 8:30 PM ET
I don't think this game would have overtaken my actual pick anyways, but this ranking was definitely affected by how sick I am of Sunday night Giants-Cowboys games. Can we get a year off from these? I mean, really.
Regardless, this should be an entertaining game after the hilarious ruling that Ezekiel Elliott will still serve his full six-game suspension, but can totally play Week One first. I don't think the Cowboys will drop off quite as hard as most people expect without Elliott on the field, but they'll certainly be happier to have him on hand to face the team that handed them two of their three regular season losses last year. That said, this game will swing much more depending on how the retooled Cowboys defense performs than whether Elliott suits up or not. I think Dak Prescott plays well, but I'm not sure the defense can keep a fairly deep Giants' offense in check.
[Pre-Publishing Update: Ezekiel Elliott has been granted a temporary restraining order and will likely be able to play all season. The NFL is truly the gift that keeps incompetently giving.]
Prediction: Giants 35, Cowboys 28
Player to Watch: Evan Engram, who grabs two red zone touchdowns from Eli Manning. Because it's always guys like Engram who kill the Cowboys.
Game of the Week: Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers, 9/10 @ 4:25 PM ET
I guess I can't be too surprised that the NFL picked an NFC East matchup between two teams for the Sunday night slot over Seahawks-Packers, but this sure seems like a much more interesting matchup to me. Both of these teams have Super Bowl hopes this season, and we have a great quarterback matchup between Aaron Rodgers and a presumably healthy Russell Wilson.
The Seahawks look solid in every phase of the game right now, although the running back rotation of Eddie Lacy, Thomas Rawls, and C.J. Procise could certainly break bad. Meanwhile, the Packers offense should be as explosive as it ever has been, but will the defense (which cost them some games last year) improve enough?
Prediction: Seahawks 24, Packers 17
Player to Watch: Russell Wilson, who throws for 320 yards and 2 scores.
MLB (It's September, I dunno)
Game of the Weak: Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants, 9/12 @ 10:15 PM ET
Clayton Kershaw (16-2, 1.95 ERA) vs Ty Blach (8-12, 4.81 ERA)
[Post-Publishing Note: The expected starter for the Giants has been changed from Blach to Johnny Cueto (7-7, 4.43 ERA)]
The San Francisco Giants are abysmal. They've won only 38% of their games and have been outscored by 133 runs as of this writing (only the Padres have been worse). Pablo Sandoval is hitless over his last 37 at-bats and has somehow already cost them half a win in terms of WAR in only 29 games. Eduardo Nunez is hitting like Manny Machado in Boston.
The Dodgers haven't looked great lately themselves, but they're still the best team in baseball record-wise, and Clayton Kershaw is going to take his sub-2.00 ERA into San Francisco to face what is barely better than a Triple-A team. Meanwhile, I don't even know who Ty Blach is. I considered picking the following night's game because it'll be on ESPN, but at least Yu Darvish vs Johnny Cueto is a fairly compelling pitching matchup. You just don't wanna watch this one at all.
Prediction: Dodgers 7, Giants 0
Player to Watch: Clayton Kershaw, who fans 11 in 8 innings, giving up no runs.
Honorable Mention: New York Yankees at Texas Rangers, 9/9 @ 1:05 PM ET
Luis Severino (12-6, 3.03 ERA) vs Andrew Cashner (9-9, 3.29 ERA)
Not the most exciting slate of matchups this week, but I opted for this game over Sunday night's national TV Orioles-Indians game because Dylan Bundy vs Trevor Bauer gets a hard "no" from me. The Yankees are the current Wild Card leaders, with hopes of catching Boston in the division, while the Rangers are one of a ridiculous eight AL teams within 3.5 games of a Wild Card berth. Both teams have a lot to play for, as there's very little wiggle room for anyone in that race right now.
Luis Severino has surprisingly unheralded for a Yankees starter having the kind of season he's having (fourth among pitchers in fWAR), perhaps because of all the attention on New York's young hitters. Cashner, meanwhile, is allergic to strikeouts on a spectacular level right now, fanning just under five batters per nine innings. I think he'll keep it together for this one, though, and we'll get a well-pitched game, a rare sight in 2017.
Prediction: Yankees 3, Rangers 2
Player to Watch: Luis Severino, who strikes out 9 in 7 innings, giving up two runs.
Game of the Week: Minnesota Twins at Kansas City Royals, 9/10 @ 2:15 PM ET
Bartolo Colon (4-3, 3.94 ERA) vs Jason Vargas (14-10, 4.23 ERA)
If you're not aware yet, two teams that are each within 2.5 games of an AL Wild Card spot are going to face each other this weekend and trot out a spectacular starting pitching matchup of Bartolo Colon and Jason Vargas. On one hand, Colon's combined ERA for the season is over 6.00, and on the other, Vargas has given up 32 runs in his past seven starts. How does this happen?
The Royals have disappointed to an extent this year, but are still hanging around in that annoying way they do, while the Twins are surprisingly holding onto that contested Wild Card spot at present, in large part due to the improved play of young Byron Buxton. This pitching matchup is the marquee, though, because it's hilarious to me. Seriously – Bartolo Colon vs Jason Vargas.
Hope you're ready for a whole lot of runs.
Prediction: Twins 10, Royals 7
Player to Watch: Byron Buxton, who smacks a homer and bails out Bartolo once with a home run robbery in centerfield.
NCAA Football (Week Two)
(Some special rules for college football here – I'm only using games featuring at least one team in the AP Top-25 for the current week. Also, I don't know jack about college football.)
Game of the Weak: Fresno State at #1 Alabama, 9/9 @ 3:30 PM ET
Come on.
Prediction: As if.
Player to Watch: Who cares?
Honorable Mention: #14 Stanford at #6 USC, 9/9 @ 8:30 PM ET
I don't know as much about college football these days as I probably should, but I think I'll enjoy writing this segment because the ranking system makes it nice and easy for me. I did consider Clemson at Auburn here, but I like the major Pac-12 matchup and it could be interesting if these two teams each run the ball as heavily as they did last week. The backup running backs for each of these teams scored a combined five TDs in Week One.
Sam Darnold looked like garbage for most of the game against Western Michigan, and I have my doubts by default about any quarterback named "Darnold," but I bet USC's offense bounces back when facing a higher level of competition. That said, I'm still feeling more confident about the team that won by 55 last week. I wouldn't count on defense being much of a factor in this one, either way.
Prediction: Stanford 38, USC 35
Player to Watch: Bryce Love, who goes for 160 yards and a pair of scores.
Game of the Week: #5 Oklahoma at #2 Ohio State, 9/9 @ 7:30 PM ET
This is a pretty easy choice, as any matchup between top-five teams will generally be. J.T. Barrett and the Buckeyes pulverized Oklahoma in Week Three last year, 45-24, but it's a new season and Ohio State struggled with Indiana more than they really should have last week. Meanwhile, Baker Mayfield threw one incomplete pass total in Oklahoma's laughter over UTEP. These teams seem pretty close overall, and both Barrett and Mayfield have been playing college football for what feels like 17 years, so I'm anticipating a well-played game.
I am curious to see how Oklahoma's backfield develops as the season progresses with last year's top two backs, Semaje Perine and Joe Mixon, now in the NFL. Abdul Adams (7 carries, 1 catch, 87 total yards), Marcellas Sutton (9 carries, 2 catches, 81 total yards, 1 TD), and Trey Sermon (7 carries, 51 yards) split the bulk of the workload fairly evenly against, but all-in-all, seven different running backs recorded touches for the Sooners (although this is partially due to the rout). If one of them is gonna pull ahead of the pack, a big performance against Ohio State would be a good way to go about it.
Prediction: Oklahoma 28, Ohio State 24
Player to Watch: Baker Mayfield, who throws for 350 yards and two scores, rushing for a third. He completes 125% of his passes.
Bonus Nonsense of the Week:
Today, I made friends with the Colorado Rockies!

LaserCard receives $8M green card order
01 March, 2011
category: Government
LaserCard Corporation announced receipt of an order for approximately $8.6 million for optical security media cards to be issued under the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Permanent Resident Card, or Green Card, program. Delivery is scheduled for completion in August.
The U.S. Green Card has been recognized by U.S. forensic experts as "effectively putting mass counterfeiters out of business" and the new card was judged the world's leading government ID card in terms of technology and user utility in a July, 2010 report by analyst firm Frost & Sullivan.
LaserCard's ID credentials are used by governments worldwide to protect the personal identification of their citizens, foreign residents and government employees, and to provide official documentation such as driver licenses and vehicle registration cards.

Having lived in Orange County my whole life and represented it for twenty years in Congress, I have seen the incredible opportunities our County offers its residents. Our amazing community provided a home for my immigrant parents and enabled them to realize the American dream for themselves and their seven children. Through their support, the power of education and with the community that nurtured us, my sister and I became the first and only sisters in American history to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives.
During my tenure in Congress, I brought billions of dollars of federal and state investment to Orange County, including federal funding for the world-class OC Ground Water Replenishment System, which keeps our water supply clean and secure. I also secured federal funding for numerous improvements to our transportation infrastructure, such as streamlining Bristol and Harbor Blvd. for efficient traffic movement and the widening of the 22, 5, and 91 highways. Undertaking projects like these and building relationships between local businesses and government organizations is my passion and the work which I have continued to pursue as a private resident of Orange County.
I am working with private industry, labor, and schools to create a program which trains second-chance adults to build modular housing units in an Anaheim factory as one element of a solution to the housing shortage in our county. This project envisions efficient and economical use of larger residential lots in our older cities to augment housing for large households or multi-generational homes or to convert unused property into an income-producing asset. This project would simultaneously increase quality, lower-cost housing for Orange County residents and make living more practical for multi-generational homes, without changing the nature of our neighborhoods or encroaching on our parks and recreational areas.
Since retiring from Congress, I have been fighting for the homeless women of Orange County to provide a community-based shelter to provide housing and services needed to return to a productive and self-sufficient lifestyle. Women are the most vulnerable homeless population. With their unique challenges in mind, I have worked with public and private partners to provide these women with vital services and shelter.
Unfortunately, my efforts in Washington and at home have been inhibited by a lack of effective and compassionate action by our County government. Hundreds of millions of dollars have already been allocated to help develop housing for our homeless population, which the current board of supervisors failed to use. We need smart resource management from the board of supervisors, and we need to change the culture of apathy and indecision in order to tackle our toughest problems on behalf of the people of Orange County.
As a supervisor, another one of my priorities will be fire safety. The wildfires of 2017 and 2018 were devastating, in part because our procedures and methods of communication at the County level are inefficient and outdated, putting people at risk when disaster strikes. When so much of our area relies directly on the Board of Supervisors, we can no longer afford indifference to fire safety and prevention. Orange County needs a reinvigorated Board of Supervisors which solves these problems before they arise and is willing to DO the work required to keep the people of Orange County safe.
As a member of the Orange County Board of Supervisors, I will bring over thirty years of government, business, and financial expertise to continue to find creative and innovative solutions to some of the toughest problems we face as a county. I am eager to continue my desire to make Orange County an even better place for all to live and thrive together.
Loretta Sanchez served in Congress for two decades and in her tenure brought billions of dollars back to Orange County. She has over 30 years of project financing, and government affairs expertise. Loretta and her family have lived in Orange County for more than 55 years.
