Steward and constable, Forest of Dean and St. Briavels castle, Glos. Sept. 1435-May 1436.

Robert is first mentioned, in May 1415, as standing bail for a defendant at the Chepstow assizes, where his father was a magistrate. Within two years he received seisin of his substantial inheritance concentrated on the Forest of Dean and including the office of chief forester. His properties in Gloucestershire had earlier been estimated to be worth £40 a year, but this was almost certainly an undervaluation.1 Through his marriage to Joan Rugge, Greyndore obtained inter alia the manors of Charlcombe and Norton Malreward and a moiety of Shurton, in Somerset, the manors of Hanham and Nass, in Gloucestershire, and property in Cricklade, Wiltshire. The land at Shurton was held of the honour of Dunster, but throughout their lives the Greyndores neglected to pay the 50s. relief due to the lord at Joan’s inheritance. Greyndore also held the manor of Netherley in Westbury-on-Severn (Gloucestershire), which he possibly acquired through purchase. At the time of his death his landed holdings were valued at over £136 a year.2

Very early on in his career Greyndore formed an acquaintance with Thomas, Lord Berkeley, who shortly before his death in July 1417 acted as a feoffee of Greyndore’s manors in Gloucestershire, for the purpose of effecting an entail, and who had asked Greyndore to become a trustee of his own extensive estates in order to fulfil his will. In June that year Greyndore’s ship, La Trinite of Chepstow, sailed from Bristol to Southampton for use in the transportation of Henry V’s army to France, but it is unlikely that he himself took part in the expedition, for he was elected to Parliament for the first time only four months later. In these early years he did, nevertheless, follow in his father’s footsteps as a soldier to a limited extent: he served on commissions of array in 1418 and 1419, and in January 1420 his name appeared on the list sent by the Gloucestershire j.p.s to the Council recommending those best able to undertake military duties. In February he was making preparations to go to France in the company of Edmund, earl of March, but he cannot have served abroad for very long, for he was back home in time to be elected to the Parliament convened in December. Then, on 9 May 1422, he indented to serve in France for a further nine months, but whether he remained to finish his contract after Henry V’s death is not known.3

This, save for one later commission of array, was the end of Greyndore’s military service. After 1422 his activities centred on his estates in the marches. Something of his standing is suggested by the papal licences granted him in 1424 and 1427 permitting him to have a portable altar, to choose his own confessor and to have indulgences at the hour of death. In April 1427 Greyndore was present at Newport castle when Humphrey, earl of Stafford, recently come of age, confirmed a charter granted by his grandfather, and it seems likely that he was already acting as one of the young earl’s councillors. He continued this connexion at least until February 1432 when Stafford, then absent in France, appointed him to hold judicial sessions in his lordship of Newport. Meanwhile, at the Gloucestershire elections of 1429 Greyndore had acted as mainpernor for Sir Maurice Berkeley of Uley. He regularly served on royal commissions; and six months before his last Parliament in 1433 he was appointed as joint steward of Chepstow and Tidenham, in the marches, and two years later as sole steward and constable of the Forest of Dean and St. Briavels castle, only to be removed from the latter offices in May 1436.4Earlier that year he had been asked to contribute a loan of £40 towards the duke of York’s expedition to France. The same amount was sought from his fellow Gloucestershire esquires, John Greville*, Robert Poyntz* and Guy Whittington*, but unlike them Greyndore may have had a personal connexion with the duke, for his friend Richard Dixton (who in his will in 1438 was to leave him ‘my serpe of silver and my cheyne of goold’ and his wife a covered cup of silver and a gold bracelet) was one of the duke’s retainers. More certainly, he was connected with James, Lord Berkeley, the nephew and heir-male of Lord Thomas, Greyndore’s early patron, who at about this time granted him and his wife for their lives an area known as ‘Shobbenasshe Park’ near Berkeley.5

It might be expected that a man of Greyndore’s standing in such a turbulent area as the Welsh marches would occasionally be the subject of allegations about maintenance and the abuse of power. Thus, in 1425 or thereabouts, a widow claimed that he had disinherited her of land in St. Briavels; and at some date between 1432 and 1443 the ‘debate and stryfe’ between him and William Turner over Greyndore’s reported seizure of the manor of ‘Brokenborough’ in Down Hanham was brought to the attention firstly of the chief baron of the Exchequer and then of the chancellor. Nothing is known of the details of a suit in about 1433 between Greyndore and the Crown, in which the King’s attorney, John Vampage, ‘entirely prevailed’ against him. However, it may be suspected that given Vampage’s partisanship in the dispute over the Berkeley estates (he being a retainer of Richard, earl of Warwick, one of the interested parties, while Greyndore apparently favoured Warwick’s opponent, James, Lord Berkeley) their clash in the courts may have had a wider significance than would at first appear.6

Greyndore secured for his only daughter and heir, Elizabeth, marriage into the ranks of the titled nobility: some time before his death she was married to Reynold West, 6th Lord de la Warre. Greyndore died on 19 Nov. 1443 and was buried in the parish church of All Saints in Newland. His widow, Joan, subsequently embellished the south chancel of the church, placing a fine brass over his tomb, and founded ‘Robert Greyndore’s chantry’ where services were provided for the souls of Greyndore and members of his family, as well as for her own kinsfolk. Joan insisted that the chaplain be eruditus in arte sive sciencia grammaticale and that he and his assistant should instruct scholars coming to Newland for education. In the course of the many years before her death in 1484 at the age of nearly 80, Joan had to alter the terms of the foundation in order to take account of marriages and deaths within the family: her own marriage, in about 1448, to Sir John Barre of Rotherwas and Barre’s Court, Herefordshire (whose daughter was to become countess of Devon); her daughter Elizabeth’s second, prestigious marriage to John Tiptoft, earl of Worcester; and Elizabeth’s death in childbirth in 1452. After this last event the heirs to the Greyndore estates were Robert’s half-sister Joan, widow of Sir William Lichfield, and her issue by her first husband William Walwyn†.7

History of the english language essay

It is organized into four categories:

History of the english language essay

History[ edit ] Modern English spelling developed from about AD onwards, when—after three centuries of Norman French rule—English gradually became the official language of England again, although very different from beforehaving incorporated many words of French origin battle, beef, button, etc.

Early writers of this new English, such as Geoffrey Chaucergave it a fairly consistent spelling system, but this was soon diluted by Chancery clerks who re-spelled words based on French orthography[ citation needed ].

English spelling consistency was dealt a further blow when William Caxton brought the printing press to London in Having lived in mainland Europe for the preceding 30 years, his grasp of the English spelling system had become uncertain.

The Belgian assistants he brought to help him set up his business had an even poorer command of it. The many editions of these Bibles were all printed outside England by people who spoke little or no English.

They often changed spellings to match their Dutch orthography. Examples include the silent h in ghost to match Dutch gheest, which later became geestaghast, ghastly and gherkin.

The silent h in other words—such as ghospel, ghossip and ghizzard—was later removed. Some of these proposals were: James Howell in his Grammar of recommended minor changes to spelling, such as changing logique to logic, warre to war, sinne to sin, toune to town and tru to true.

From the 16th century AD onward, English writers who were scholars of Greek and Latin literature tried to link English words to their Graeco-Latin counterparts. They did this by adding silent letters to make the real or imagined links more obvious. Thus det became debt to link it to Latin debitumdout became doubt to link it to Latin dubitaresissors became scissors and sithe became scythe as they were wrongly thought to come from Latin scindereiland became island as it was wrongly thought to come from Latin insulaake became ache as it was wrongly thought to come from Greek akhosand so forth.

In his play Love's Labour's Lostthe character Holofernes is "a pedant " who insists that pronunciation should change to match spelling, rather than simply changing spelling to match pronunciation. For example, Holofernes insists that everyone should pronounce the unhistorical B in words like doubt and debt.

An bulletin, written wholly in reformed spelling click to enlarge. The second period started in the 19th century and appears to coincide with the development of phonetics as a science. It included an essay on the oddities of modern orthography and his proposals for reform.

Many of the spellings he used, such as color and center, would become hallmarks of American English. InWebster began compiling an expanded dictionary. Although it drew some protest, the reformed spellings were gradually adopted throughout the United States.

These were proposals for a new phonetic alphabet.

California English Language Development Standards: Kindergarten Through Grade 12

Although unsuccessful, they drew widespread interest. By the s, the philological societies of Great Britain and America chose to consider the matter. Inthe American National Education Association adopted its own list of 12 words to be used in all writings: The SSB's original 30 members consisted of authors, professors and dictionary editors.

However, in Decemberthe U. Congress passed a resolution and the old spellings were reintroduced. The handbook noted that every reformed spelling now in general use was originally the overt act of a lone writer, who was followed at first by a small minority.

Thus, it encouraged people to "point the way" and "set the example" by using the reformed spellings whenever they could. In Britain, the cause of spelling reform was promoted from by the Simplified Spelling Society and attracted a number of prominent supporters.

One of these was George Bernard Shaw author of Pygmalion and much of his considerable will was left to the cause.

Among members of the society, the conditions of his will gave rise to major disagreements, which hindered the development of a single new system. Over a two-month spell init introduced 80 respelled words, including tho, thru, thoro, agast, burocrat, frate, harth, herse, iland, rime, staf and telegraf.

A March editorial reported that two-thirds of readers preferred the reformed spellings. Another claimed that "prejudice and competition" was preventing dictionary makers from listing such spellings.

Over the next 40 years, however, the newspaper gradually phased out the respelled words. Inhe again had the opportunity, and this time it passed the second reading by 65 votes to Inthis led to James Pitman 's Initial Teaching Alphabetintroduced into many British schools in an attempt to improve child literacy.

After several decades, the experiment was discontinued. In his book Spelling Reform: This reform had some popularity in Australia. For example, he believes that it does not matter whether words such as "accommodate" and "tomorrow" are spelled with double letters.

Advocates note that spelling reforms have taken place already, [27] just slowly and often not in an organized way.This past semester at MIT I took a really wonderful class called “Feminist Political Thought” which had a very open ended essay assignment.

I wrote a history of the word “Bitch,” and several of my classmates requested to read the whole paper so I thought I’d post it here. A History of English Language Teaching is a remarkable book that traces its subject all the way from the 14th century to the present day, offering a grand sweep through the major trends and events in English language description and teaching, as well as an impressive level of detail on some of the individuals that have shaped this history, and their methods and materials.

Tomato, Cucumber and Lettuce Soil Requirements

Although they differ greatly in size, hue and nutritional value, tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), cucumbers (Cucumis sativus) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa) have at least one thing in common: they all find a place on Sunset's list of the “21 Best Crops for Your Edible Garden.” In addition to distinct light, watering and climatic requirements, each of these vegetables also has slightly different soil needs, including optimal pH levels and recommended soil consistency.

Tomato plants prefer soil that falls between 6.2 and 6.8 on the pH scale, meaning they thrive in soil that is slightly acidic. Although tomatoes tolerate many different soil consistencies, they thrive in nutrient-rich loamy soil. For best results, add organic matter such as compost, grass clippings or leaves to the soil to help your tomatoes retain moisture. Tomatoes don't take well to soggy soil, so plant them in well-drained ground that receives plenty of sunlight.

Just like tomatoes, cucumber plants prefer loose, well-drained soil rich with nutritious organic matter, such as compost or manure. However, this plant's ideal pH range is slightly wider: cucumbers flourish in soils with a slightly acidic pH range between 6.0 and 7.0. As is the case with tomatoes, an application of mulch -- including buckwheat hulls, cocoa shells or black plastic mulch -- keeps your cucumber's soil free of weeds.

Although lettuce plants aren't picky about soil consistency, sandy loam soils with a loose consistency and plenty of organic matter serve this leafy vegetable best. Lettuce likes well-drained soil that stays moist but never waterlogged. This plant's soil should have a pH range of 6.0 to 6.5. Consider growing lettuce and cucumber in the same bed, as they make excellent companion plants.

Assessing Your Soil

Before planting tomatoes, cukes or lettuce, you can test your soil's pH level with a soil-testing kit, which is readily available at most garden stores. Alternatively, your local U.S. Department of Agriculture Cooperative Extension System office can test the soil for you. To increase your soil's pH, amend it with lime; to decrease pH, the addition of sulfur does the trick. Your local CES office can advise you on soil amendments after you have the results from your soil test.

When I think about the first meal I can remember eating, it’s my great grandmother’s spaghetti and meatballs. She only made it on Sundays and we all sat around her linen covered table and ate it together. I must have been four and she was in her 90’s, Italian-born and had raised nine children through the Great Depression. She was a tiny lady that wore thick glasses, spoke with a thick Italian accent and folded her hands when she talked.

I never cooked much until I started working at Home Place with Marshall. Learning to cook cuts of meat that we had raised and butchered totally changed my way of looking at food. Nona’s recipe is a great way to use up a pound of ground beef and I’m excited it’s around to share with you. Make the meatballs for dinner or throw them in a re-sealable bag and freeze them for later.

– John Jordan Proctor

  • 2 tbsp. parsley, minced
  • 1 Lb of Home Place Ground Beef
  • ½ Medium Onion, minced
  • 2 tbsp. parmigiano-reggiano, grated
  • 2 tbsp. Celery, minced
  • Big slice of crusty white bread
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut a ¾ inch piece of crusty white bread and soak in a bowl with a cup of milk. Mince the parsley, onion, celery and garlic with a knife or a food processor. Grate 2 big tablespoons of parmigiano-reggiano. Once the bread has soaked through, mash the bread up with the back of a fork and drain the excess milk from the breadcrumbs. Incorporate all of the ingredients in a bowl with a big pinch of salt and fresh cracked pepper. Form and arrange on a lightly oiled cookie sheet. Brown meatballs in the oven to desired color. Cover in your favorite pasta sauce and simmer for an hour on low heat. Toss with spaghetti cooked al dente in salted water. If you feel like being a boss, grate some more Parm on top with your Microplane and finish with a pinch of chopped parsley.

So, place a wood swing with colourful cushions to brighten your space up. Listen to music, hear a bird song, and enjoy the barbeque on the tailor-made swing and we promise you won’t ever want to leave from there.

9. Bridge your indoors with outdoors

Your outdoor space is an add-on of your home. Therefore, bridge your indoors with outdoors with string or pendant lights to give an illusion of a ceiling. You can even fix folding glass doors and windows to create a seamless union of your house to the landscape.

10. Bring the stars down

Lighting is necessary if you want to enjoy your outdoor spaces in the evening. It boosts your night-time life. Whenever you throw a party at night, your eye-catchy lightings would be the first element to grab your guests’ attention. Therefore, consider adding solar landscape lighting for your pathway, string lights for sitting areas, and motion lights for security.

Also, go a bit creative while bringing the stars down. Hang charming mason jar candle lanterns or surround a globe light with a rope sphere.

11. Make an outdoor garden room

Garden is a place where you can chill and relax in all the seasons. For this, building an outdoor garden room would be an ideal option. The extra room in your home and that too on your outdoors will make your weekend chillax.

So, make long fences your walls. Select outdoor furniture that will ensure the look and feel of your indoor furniture. Fill your garden with lights and zone your space for 24*7*365.

Inspire your imagination

Creativity is not a gift bestowed to a few people from their birth. All have creative minds, but for some, it is buried under boring tasks, routines, and responsibilities. It needs to be nursed, cultivated and practised. And what’s better than to start with your outdoor space renovation.

Kick your mind, inspire your imagination, and jot down the creative ideas. If you don’t have enough of time to remodel your landscape, then dial a professional’s number. And on this world environmental day (5th June), make your house a home for nature and celebrate biodiversity.

Sleek Geek

Melissa Chow interviews Dr Karl (and reviews his show).

Sleek Geeks live advertisement

With added online content!

Last Tuesday night, the much loved duo Dr Karl and Adam Spencer of Sleek Geeks graced Manning Bar with a night of raw data: unplugged and unplanned to a crowd of scientifically inclined individuals and some not so scientifically inclined friends. It was basically a room of people who wanted to hear how science and mathematics could be used for stupidity or perhaps just a higher meaning I don’t really understand.

Here are the things I gleaned from Dr Karl’s bright mind, asking the high brow questions I deemed all of USyd needed to know exclusively.

HS: You’re on Sleek Geek, you’re on radio—do you see yourself more as a scientist or a communicator?

Dr Karl: Communicator for the good. I at one stage used to be a medical doctor working at a kids’ hospital and as it turned out, that was in retrospect the best job I ever had in my life. But because of people saying bad things about vaccinations, we end up with, after a 20 year gap, no babies [dying] from whooping cough, a baby [dead] from whooping cough. And I thought I could do more good for society by going into the media. So do I see myself as a scientist no, I see myself as a communicator trying to bring enlightenment. So for example in America—40% do not accept the theory of evolution, do not accept that carbon dating works, do not accept the science of climate change,  8% do not accept DNA exists, 15% do not accept the efficacy of child vaccination, 25% do not accept that the earth goes around the sun. So I see myself as trying to be a source of enlightenment.

HS: There’s been a lot of re-emerging infectious disease to date, so there was Bird flu and Ebola recently. Do you have any possible predictions for the next outbreak—a zoonotic kind or something from climate change?

Dr Karl: Yes, both. In regards to bees, we thought that the reason the beehives were vanishing were the so called CCD—colony collapse disorder. We thought this was due to neonicotinoids [an insecticide], we now know it’s both neonicotinoids and climate change reducing their range. Zoonotic diseases, diseases which jump from animals to humans, will come and get us at some stage. In late 2008-09, I forget which, the reason why we did not have that terrible bird influenza sweep the world—the Hong Kong government was absolutely ruthless and in one night killed every chicken in Hong Kong and that saved the world. The price is either dead chickens or dead humans. Pick one. So yes we will find them coming, the problem is vaccines take a while to make. That’s going to change though with the advent of 3D printers where we can print a vaccine rather than wait for 6 months—but that’s still 5 to 10 years down the line.

HS: My friend wants to know why when they eat mocha buns, why their urine will smell like the mocha flavouring?

Dr Karl: That’s interesting physiology. With regard to asparagus, the way that it works, there is some people who can turn asparagus juice into something smelly that comes out in the urine and there is some who cannot. And separately there is some people who can detect that odour and some people who cannot. With regard to [your friend], there must be some sort of chemical that stops it from being broken down and carries through the kidneys. That’s interesting, that could be a nice paper that could win them an Ignoble Prize, there’s some serious science there.

HS: Is there anything they could eat to have their urine smell like peaches and cream?

Dr Karl: We have found – I talk about this in my next book—if you have strawberry milk, if you’re a woman, the breast milk will smell like strawberries. There’s no short answer, unexplored territory here but yes there’s something going on.

If you want more of Dr Karl and Adam Spencer, they have a podcast under the title Sleek Geeks. They’ve also published several books and will be popping back during National Science Week.

BONUS: Video Highlights

The venue was booked out but I managed to get in by scaling the brown bricks of Manning bar, dazzling security and slipping in among the possibly already intoxicated throng*. While the whole show was recorded and is on their YouTube channel, I can give you a highly useful commentary so you can pick and choose where to start and skip in the two hour long video as well as a short interview Dr Karl generously gave me at the end of the night.

*creative license

00:00 – 23:20 The artic appears on the projector and penguins roam the tundra, looking lost. On the live stream however, there is just some groovy playlist.

23:20 The Dean of the Faculty of Science makes an appearance that seems very unplanned. He has printed out an A4 script and is reading it like a first year at their first group presentation. His poor flustering may be worth the watch. (6.5/10, poor eye contact).

23:52 Dr Karl and Adam Spencer burst out from the shadows! Do you fight or run away?

24:45 It’s a map of the Internet in 1969, the origin story of the Nigerian Scam and the bits of the world the UK never made it to.

28:22 is being taken to limits it should never be taken to and sinister buttocks proves the point.

31:34 Dr Karl is in a rainbow scarf paired with a red jacket, very dashing.

36:51 Cleo Loi narrates perfectly what the Radio Astronomer’s Nightmare is.

41:00 I’m sorely disappointed at the lack of “Loi tubes! Loi tubes! Loi tubes!”

42:00 Dr Karl debuts as a dancing DJ.

42:16 Adam answers how many men/women we must date before we can accurately find ‘the one’.

47:52 Dr Karl tells us why chewing gum might make us less motion sick.

50:08 Wendy Zukerman throws out the existential question of which we should root for when polar bears start eating dolphins and reveals the shapeshifting nature of frogs.

56:50 Wendy invites friends for croissants and pornos on a Sunday morning. She also wins pun of the night when she went in unprotected and got malware on her laptop.

58:49 The Sleek Geeks dig into the science behind Alcohol.

59:24 Some real science here kids: How to gate crash ‘Dicky’ Branson’s party.

1:00:13 How to Get Drunker With Coke and Rum 101 – D is for Drunker. D is also for diet.

1:03:13 Beer goggles are not a myth!

1:06:18 Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder and homeopathy and acupuncture suffer some burns.

1:08:20 WTF?! Chocolate milk beat protein powders??

1:10:08 So it turns out you can’t outrun a muffin. Shit.

1:16:14 In the game of artificial intelligence versus mankind the result is: Watch out for your Xboxes.

1:22:16 Eat food, make faeces, do stuff on computers.

1:22:27 A man challenges the dating formula, he sounds like he gets around.

1:24:46 Who loves you more: your dog or your cat? I’m hearing this answer as – cats love you more.

1:28:53 Wil Anderson has somehow gained a professorship, the circumstances seem vague but is now surprising the bar with his highly sophisticated opinions proving his professorship well deserved. He also sounds like he means business from the way he is swinging his two beverages in the air.

1:34:00 The night is reaching a sentimental point, ‘Prof’ Wil discusses the ideal amount of partners to find the one.

1:35:35 Dr Karl and ‘Prof’ Wil have now engaged in a tussle.

1:36:38 ‘Prof’ Wil in his great wisdom predicts who will play the frogs in XMen, why farts and protein shakes go hand in hand and may kill all the unvaccinated children.

1:39:26 ‘Prof’ Wil drops mic.

1:40:07 Adam breaks down secret mathematical rules that may help you be the next hacker or something of the sort.

1:43:16 People are clapping, but is this because they were so wowed by the brain power now charging the bar’s electricity or are they clapping to the magnificence that is Adam Spencer’s brain cradled by his wonderfully reflective head?

1: 44:08 Another man from the audience asks about pheromones released through female’s hair. Man there is some thirst in this room.

1:48:45 ‘Prof’ Wil gives us the truth behind why the polar bear really ate the dolphin.

Data corruption is the damage of information due to various software or hardware failures. The moment a file gets damaged, it will no longer function as it should, so an app will not start or shall give errors, a text file shall be partially or entirely unreadable, an archive will be impossible to open and then unpack, etc. Silent data corruption is the process of data getting harmed without any identification by the system or an administrator, which makes it a serious problem for web hosting servers as problems are more likely to happen on larger hard disk drives where significant volumes of info are located. When a drive is a part of a RAID and the info on it is duplicated on other drives for redundancy, it's more than likely that the damaged file will be treated as a healthy one and it will be copied on all drives, making the damage permanent. A huge number of the file systems that operate on web servers nowadays often are not able to detect corrupted files right away or they need time-consuming system checks during which the server is not operational.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Cloud Hosting

The integrity of the data that you upload to your new cloud hosting account will be ensured by the ZFS file system which we take advantage of on our cloud platform. Most web hosting service providers, including our company, use multiple hard disk drives to keep content and considering that the drives work in a RAID, the same info is synchronized between the drives all of the time. In case a file on a drive gets damaged for whatever reason, however, it is likely that it will be duplicated on the other drives as alternative file systems do not have special checks for this. Unlike them, ZFS applies a digital fingerprint, or a checksum, for each and every file. In the event that a file gets corrupted, its checksum will not match what ZFS has as a record for it, so the bad copy will be substituted with a good one from another drive. Because this happens right away, there's no possibility for any of your files to ever be damaged.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Semi-dedicated Hosting

We have avoided any probability of files getting damaged silently because the servers where your semi-dedicated hosting account will be created work with a powerful file system called ZFS. Its basic advantage over other file systems is that it uses a unique checksum for every single file - a digital fingerprint which is checked in real time. Since we save all content on numerous SSD drives, ZFS checks if the fingerprint of a file on one drive corresponds to the one on the rest of the drives and the one it has stored. When there is a mismatch, the bad copy is replaced with a good one from one of the other drives and since it happens instantly, there's no chance that a corrupted copy could remain on our web hosting servers or that it can be copied to the other hard drives in the RAID. None of the other file systems include such checks and what is more, even during a file system check after an unexpected electrical power failure, none of them can discover silently corrupted files. In comparison, ZFS won't crash after a blackout and the continual checksum monitoring makes a lenghty file system check unneeded.

    ..... I really don't care.

    With the next paragraph, I don't want to blow my own trumpet, I just don't want everyone here to write me off as the village idiot .....

    FWIW - which really isn't much at all - I've been a high flyer in my time - presenting my own paper at an international conference (the Hague 1994), and meeting with US officials in Washington DC at my own instigation.

    It was all so meaningful and complex - and I quit!

    Now I drive a cab a few days each week and look at things very simply.

    I'd like to state a simple belief I hold.

    You either believe in gold or in the US$.

    You can not do both!

    The US$, as the world's reserve currency, represents (and, to my mind, speaks for) all currencies. It's had that role since Bretton Woods. It lost its honesty as a result of the Nixon administration's action, and now represents all fiat currencies (and all currencies are!)

    I've been seeing the USA as being 'great' since the Second World War, but that's obviously wrong. I understand that it was the Wall Street collapse of October 1929 (really 1931?) that led the world into the Great Depression, so the USA must have been a country of great importance back then at least.

    And the USA is still the country of great importance - but that depends on the American ( world's) economy, and that depends on the US$.

    I believe the USA has been a truly great country - of freedom, of growth, of potential, of vision and of unfettered success.

    I think the USA is now just an immensely powerful country but only in a military sense.

    I hope that the USA will become a great country once again.

    But in the meantime I think the US/world market is false, and that words and paper have no real value.

    I believe gold does.

    But the devil is in the detail - eh, Grant. LOL

    Other than the simplicity of the choice - gold or the US$ - I've no idea why I started this. Guess 'twas the claret.

    But you must believe in one or the other, and that will set your course for the future.

    I stand by gold.

    intending tonight to revisit this post in 10 years time

Using Twitter to get Elected

Twitter is a multipurpose election and campaigning tool, which has a broader focus that Facebook – but is just as good in getting your news out to the people who count.
The key to twitter is being able to get your news out in as short a space as possible, either as a sentence or as a link to another one of your Social Media accounts, where you have a lot more information ready for your readers to visit and find out. Always remember to keep the Social Media rules in mind.
To set up a Twitter Account, just visit Twitter and follow the instructions.
Your Twitter Address or ‘Username’ should be something that is easy to remember. Ideally your Username will be your own name. But as more and more people join Twitter, it is possible that someone else, perhaps from the other side of the World will already have that name and be using it on Twitter too!
Your Username will be limited to no more than 14 digits, so you may need to be creative. If your own name isn’t available in full, perhaps it could be something like @David_Village. You will have choices – and it’s worth taking your time to decide.
You may be required to confirm your account with an e-mail confirmation or by providing your phone number, but this information will normally remain private and just between Twitter and you.
To begin with on the profile area of your Twitter Account, add a picture of yourself along with a brief description of what you are there to do.
An address for your blog is a great idea, as you will quickly pick up interest for your published and pre-prepared material too.
On the Twitter Account for this site – which you can find @How2GetElected, you will see that there is a logo and a background.
You can do something like this too, but remember that this is all about representing other people and as such, the focus in this sense should be about you.
Have a quick look at my own Twitter Account @AdamTugwell to see what I have done there.

Unearthing an Enduring Legacy

Nearly 60 years ago, MAF pilot Nate Saint and four other missionaries landed at “Palm Beach” on the Curaray River in Ecuador. Setting foot on the river beach was the next logical step in what the men called “Operation Auca,” after initial attempts from the air to contact the hostile Waorani tribe were deemed positive. They desperately wanted to take the Gospel message to the unreached Waorani.

Tragically, only a few days after landing on the beach, on January 8, 1956, all five were killed by members of the tribe.

Nate’s small yellow Piper PA-Family Cruiser had been so badly damaged by the Waorani that it wasn’t able to be flown. Heavy rains around the time of the funerals washed it downstream; the rise and fall of the river and changing currents soon buried it in the sand.

A Changing Tide

MAF pilot Bill Clapp was in the hangar in Shell Mera, Ecuador one morning in 1993 when he noticed a piece of aluminum tacked to a beam that hadn’t been there before. When he asked about it, one of the guys said one of the Waorani had found it.

“Well, that’s off of Nate’s airplane!” Bill replied. Bill had rebuilt Piper airplanes and recognized the piece as being from a Piper-PA-14 Family Cruiser.

That small piece set in motion a search for the rest of plane.

Bill helped organize a search party with Rachel Saint and some of the Waorani men. They were to call him on the radio if they found any pieces of the plane.

It wasn’t long before Bill got a call saying they’d found something. They wanted to know what they should do with it.

“Put it in the church,” said Bill.

“No,” they said, “it’s too big.”

Turns out they had discovered the front nine feet of the fuselage and the landing gear.

“It’s as if God buried it for 38 years and then one kid sees this thing sticking up in the sand, and it was the control stick,” said Bill. “With the exception of the center section of the fuselage, it all showed up in about a month.”

And today it sits in the front lobby display at MAF headquarters in Idaho. Photo cutouts of Bill and Steve Saint—Nate’s son—are perched in sand as they examine the metal pieces that made up the tail sections, just as they did on the beach in Ecuador 22 years ago.

This display is a reminder not only of the sacrifice five sold-out missionaries paid to reach the Waorani, but also of the redemptive power of Jesus Christ that transformed the tribe.

A New Tool for Reaching Ecuador

Flights continue to take off and land at the base in Shell Mera, but today the program is run by Ecuadorian staff as Alas de Socorro. Many of the passengers on these flights are Waorani Christians who are serving as missionaries to their own people. They are concerned with passing on the faith to the next generation of Waorani.

Recently, thanks to generous donors, the program welcomed a brand new KODIAK airplane, which will help the team meet the physical and spiritual needs throughout the Amazon jungle well into the future.

The nine-passenger KODIAK is quite a contrast from the small, yellow Piper that Nate Saint flew. The “tools” may have changed, but they serve the same purpose … bringing the Gospel to hard-to-reach areas.

Share in the celebration of this new tool being used for Kingdom purposes in one of MAF’s oldest programs. Watch the slide show with pictures from the dedication ceremony as well as a few vintage shots.

  • Avatar Steven R. Russell says:

    I feel like I know Nate Saint, as a Christian Private Pilot of 230 hours, who hasn’t flown a plane as pilot in command in some 34 or so years.

    My mother was very pregnant with me in Palmdale, California, as my now Retired Missionary Pilot to Panama father, the Rev. James F. Russell worked at Edwards AFB, California as an engineer, when the men were speared to death.

    The men were speared on January 8, 1956, and I was born the following March 31, 1956.

    So I have a particular interest in MAF and the work MAF does to bring the Gospel message to people around the world, as well as being a tool in the Master’s hand to aid in other needs as well.

    How well I remember that day, in January of 1956. I was then expecting our first baby, (who is now 59 years old!)
    All of Christiandom felt the blow and thought it was nothing but a tragedy! But looking back, we realize God had a purpose in it all. What a God we serve! Praise His Name

    Looking forward to more info on Bill and Carole Clapp. We are part of MAF because of them.

  • Avatar Janet A. Stephens says:

    I too remember when those fine, brave young missionary men were martyred. I was almost 4 years old but I can remember my Dad’s quiet tears and praying for the families. I asked why he was crying and he said some Christian men had died because they wanted others to know about Jesus. He went on to explain what they knew at the time and what my 4 year old brain could understand.
    I look now at what those deaths have meant to so many including me. We don’t always understand God’s plan but we can trust His heart.

freezeray.pngThis is a great resource for KS3 teachers. Thanks to Joshua Jones for posting the link to the TES Boards.

There is finally a site that aims to produce resources for classes AND deliberately allows them to be saved and kept for use on the IWB. They even have a page to help you save Flash files – and templates to make your own Flash tasks on Flash MX 2004 +.You know what’s even better? The Flash animations are actually useful. Such as this one, which is a simple and clear graph plotter for middle school. They also have technology (mehanics) sims, investigation planners and a bank of hangman-style keyword activities. Rock on.

It is produced by Freezeray, in association with Great Barr School – a specialist Science college that looks like it might actually be into Science.

Sacred Doubt

From time to time, we make an effort to point out that Unitarian Universalism is an agnostic religion. We not only don’t claim to have “The Truth”, but we have made it a Principle of our Association that each person be free to responsibly seek truth and meaning in their own lives, aided, guided, but […]

Information for Patients

Also called: Dermatitis

Eczema is a term for several different types of skin swelling. Eczema is also called dermatitis. Most types cause dry, itchy skin and rashes on the face, inside the elbows and behind the knees, and on the hands and feet. Scratching the skin can cause it to turn red, and to swell and itch even more.

Eczema is not contagious. The cause is not known. It is likely caused by both genetic and environmental factors. Eczema may get better or worse over time, but it is often a long-lasting disease. People who have it may also develop hay fever and asthma.

The most common type of eczema is atopic dermatitis. It is most common in babies and children but adults can have it too. As children who have atopic dermatitis grow older, this problem may get better or go away. But sometimes the skin may stay dry and get irritated easily.

Treatments may include medicines, skin creams, light therapy, and good skin care. You can prevent some types of eczema by avoiding

  • Things that irritate your skin, such as certain soaps, fabrics, and lotions
  • Stress
  • Things you are allergic to, such as food, pollen, and animals

Eyelid Disorders

Your eyelids help protect your eyes. When you blink, your eyelids spread moisture over your eyes. Blinking also helps move dirt or other particles off the surface of the eye. You close your eyelids when you see something coming toward your eyes. This can help protect against injuries.

Like most other parts of your body, your eyelids can get infected, inflamed, or even develop cancer. There are also specific eyelid problems, including

  • Eyelids that turn in or out
  • Eyelids that droop
  • Abnormal blinking or twitching

Treatment of eyelid problems depends on the cause.

Burnt pans, burst bubbles and a visit to the dark side

I am hunched over the sink, applying heavy pressure on my dishwashing brush to rub the burnt remains from the skillet; yet no matter how much or hard I scrub the dark coal like coating refuses to budge.

Frustrated, I search impatiently under the sink for scouring pads, hoping the extra abrasion will do the trick. All the while, I’m cursing myself for forgetting about the chicken stir fry on the burner when I ran to bring my middle son a cup of milk, and got distracted by the toy explosion on the carpet when my bare foot met the wrath of Lego Luke Skywalker.

My middle and oldest sons staring blankly at the television screen don’t even bat an eye in my direction as I yelp like a cat whose tail just got stepped on and hop carefully to the couch, avoiding the Lego Storm Troopers strategically scattered for optimal injury. As I plop down and clutch my foot tenderly, I hear my youngest cry accusingly, “You stepped on Luke!”

I’m raising such compassionate children.

Hobbling back toward the kitchen, my crushed tail between my legs, I heard my oldest son yell “Hungry” and smelled before I saw the dinner that would never be. And so I scrub, my hair falling in my face which I brush away unconsciously with hands I forget are wet.

Sighing heavily to myself, I push on, attacking the char with a vengeance while contemplating whether I should just give up and order a pizza or make it a breakfast for dinner night.

Of course I decide to make eggs; not allowing myself the comfort of easily solving a problem with a phone call.  That would be weak and doesn’t work with the martyred status I have going on in my own head.

A thought bubbles to the surface as it does sometimes when I’m folding endless laundry, or negotiating with my children to do their homework, or scrubbing a pan, and I wonder, is this really me?

How did I get to be 40 something? Where did these children come from? Wait, I’m married? It wasn’t so long ago that I fluttered through my days carefree and open. There was youthful insecurity of course, and uncertainty, but my face glowed with freshness and my eyes twinkled with possibility.

I didn’t know exactly who I was back then, but I knew I could be somebody. Somebody smart, successful, important…something.

Yet, here I am.

I realize I’ve tainted the picture with my negative tone; that if I just cast a rainbow filter on the scene, I could make it look comical or at the very least just an average mom day. The right lighting shows off the best side of things. With good lighting you don’t see all the wrinkles.

It would help if one of my boys came in right now to give me a hug, just because. It happens sometimes.

But not today.

So it seems that besides the scrubbing, I’ve also got some ironing to do.

I will not go to the dark side.

About Ice Scream Mama

Mama to 3 boys, wife to Mr. Baseball and daughter of a sad man. I have a double scoop every day.

  1. Good one!

  2. I was just thinking about this same thing today! How strange. Like where did the time go? Brinner is always a safe bet when the other dinner doesn’t quite make it. Annddd there are still lots of possibilities to re twinkle those eyes. It’s just that they’re hidden under our parental responsibilities. Gorgeous post!

    • it’s amazing, right? turn around and a decade – or two has gone by. and some of yourself has gone along with it. but of course, there are new doors and yous every day, right? but some days.. hahaha. yes, brinner is the best! and thank you. twinkle twinkle 🙂

  3. You had me at dark side.

    BTW, you are raising compassionate kids. They were extremely concerned for Luke’s welfare.

  4. okay so my girl is only 4 and she drives me batty with her incessant talking yet it irks me more when she uses one word statements like “hungry”. what’s wrong with me?

  5. It seems like boys…and men are so demanding and you wonder if they even appreciate all you do. I’m been on that same trip this week. Hang in there!

  6. Damn Legos! I almost broke my arse on one last night. I so get this, especially the part about making eggs because ordering in is like failure.

  7. Natalie DeYoung

    I don’t have kids, yet I ask myself the question “how did I get here?” all the time. Sometimes I miss being carefree and open to so many possibilities…

  8. Ha! We have so much in common! I am forty-one, I am obsessed with Star Wars, I despise Legos and I too scrubbed a pan forever last night! Swear to God. I live your life.

  9. “How did I get to be 40 something? Where did these children come from? Wait, I’m married?” I feel that way ALL THE TIME. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever settle into being a grown-up, get to the point where it doesn’t feel surreal. I loved this post. All of it.

  10. sounds a bit like my house too! I think we all have those moments when we wonder how we got here!!! 🙂

  11. LOL. Bless your heart. I’d be ready to iron that little Lego Luke, if I were you…

    But we are blessed. Crazy families and all, we are so very blessed.

  12. Hah! I started sweating the second I saw that Lego with the light saber. I honestly think there should be special curse words for Legos.

  13. Oh I have this thought all the time….”A thought bubbles to the surface as it does sometimes when I’m folding endless laundry, or negotiating with my children to do their homework, or scrubbing a pan, and I wonder, is this really me?”

  14. Stop getting inside my head! This post just described my every day.

  15. I was just commenting to the hubs last night that I was so glad that in the 8+ years I’ve been a parent, I’ve never had the pleasure of a tiny Lego piece jabbed into the soft underbelly of my foot. I said this because my youngest has now started showing an interest in Legos, and I fear that reprieve will soon be at an end. Damnit.

  16. I love a good breakfast for dinner night…it’s my go-to choice and we have it at least once a week. Sometimes, mostly when I’m exhausted and my guard is down, I wonder how I became a grown-up who is married and has a job and owns a house. Mostly because I still feel like I’m 18.

  17. Lego Luke Skywalker!! He survived our flooded basement during Hurricane Sandy. After the water was pumped out, there he was! But it sucks to step on him. Eggs for dinner? Yummy. Plus I loved the line about being a martyr in your own head 😉

  18. Something about spring always brings me to exactly the mood I feel when I read this post.

  19. My evil mother would not allow Legos in our house. Of course, they were just used for building buildings in those, the olden days. They had no names or personalities or vehicles.

    I was a perfect mother and allowed my son Legos to his heart’s content. I stepped on them constantly and my now 22 year old son’s current vocabulary is a strong indication of just how often I stepped on the f*#king things.

    You are likely to survive. I did. And now, I remember the lego years with fondness. Because back then my son wasn’t driving …

    It’s been so nice meeting you today. I clicked follow because I really don’t ever want to finish this work I’m not working on. And at the rate I’m going, I will succeed with flying colors!

    Call for Papers | “Digital transformation in sport: The disruptive potential of digitalization for sport management research” | Special Issue of Sport, Business and Management. Call ends 2019-06-28

    The aim of this special issue is to initiate a broader debate about the digital transformation in sport management research. This debate involves discussing where and how digital disruption radically changes existing sport business models, how economic value is created in digital sport ecosystems and why general digital business strategies might fail in sport management and how they should be adapted.

    Second Call for Chapters | Digital Football Cultures | Eds. Stefan Lawrence and Garry Crawford

    The proposed focus of the book will be on a range of conceptual and theoretical issues in football, especially those that emerge from or have been exacerbated by the digital turn. Each chapter should be guided by a theoretical framework and will address at least one of the following themes: Digital football fandom; Football and social media; Football (sub)cybercultures.

Unhinged (2020)

From iGeek
Jump to: navigation, search

Unhinged is Russell Crowe thriller about an "unhinged" stranger terrorizing a young woman after a road rage incident. Russell did a good job of looking and acting like John Goodman in 10 Cloverfield Lane (quiet, crazy type)... and as far as thrillers go, it wasn't horrible or great. Middle of the road suspense, with people occasionally doing predictably irrational things, and a few cheesy lines (groaners) thrown in. The most memorable part is it was the biggest major release to theaters during COVID. I'm not sure if that will help or hurt it. If you like thrillers done by a horror director, you'll probably enjoy it. If these aren't your genre, and they generally aren't mine, it's a reasonably entertaining 93 minutes... that will soon be forgotten.

It got a 48/76 (reviewer/viewer) score on RottenTomatoes. Which seemed about right. It was watchable enough that most people won't hate it... but it was treading on pretty predictable artistic ground, and it brought little new to the screen or genre.

iLEAD Exploration Remains Open Virtually for Learners

iLEAD Exploration continues to operate its independent study model in an entirely virtual format. Click here for resources.

Aug 23, 2020 @ 01:00

Learner Spotlight: The Libbrecht Family

The Libbrecht Family

The Libbrecht brothers, Logan (7) and Nathan (5), are not just family but also really good friends. These brothers enjoy homeschooling together through iLEAD Exploration and have been doing so for the past three years.

It takes a certain kind of kid to gladly and willingly give up his time and share his possessions in order to teach friends a new skill. Logan, who’s in 2nd grade, and Nathan, a kindergartener, routinely do this and embody the kindness and care that their parents model to those around them. You can find these boys any given afternoon at the beach teaching friends who don’t know how to surf the tricks of the trade. They give up their surfboards so that those around them can learn. These boys understand that when people around them are having fun and learning new things, then everyone is having fun. Their enthusiasm for the beach is infectious. They also work hard with their mom to accomplish the daily tasks of their academics day in and day out. The Libbrecht brothers certainly demonstrate that giving of themselves and caring for others is a win-win for everyone.

Logan and Nathan definitely love being active and outdoors. In addition to surfing and swimming, they enjoy skateboarding, biking, baseball, soccer, fishing, hiking, camping, running, snorkeling, climbing trees, exploring new places, building all sorts of things, conquering obstacle courses, and working out with their dad. The boys also participate in Awana Club, co-op, and Sunday fellowship at their church. They also spend time on intricate Lego builds and creations, paintings, piano, board games, and tool/workshop activities and on further developing their athletic skills.

Logan has a unique interest in operating mechanics, such as remote-controlled cars, drones, electric scooters/bikes, and robots. Nathan’s unique interest is in animals. He loves to learn about them and care for them. He has tamed a feral kitten to be his pet, taught the family’s foster puppies new tricks, and finds lizards and geckos to gently catch and release.

Although gratitude is something everyone can grow in, Logan and Nathan demonstrate their gratitude often. Logan appreciates hard work and enjoys showing gratitude by helping around the house. He is quick to make his brothers an egg breakfast, mow the lawn for his grandpa, or mop the floor for his mom. Although Nathan loves to receive gifts, he also shows gratitude in giving whether he is sharing snacks or toys with his brothers, giving away his toys, or practicing the subtle art of thinking first of others.
