Remote control of the KPAY
Modifications to the K9AY loop

By Al Merriman - K4GLU
July 4, 1998

Over the past few months Andy Ikin and myself have been experimenting with these fantastic antennas.
Between myself and Andy Ikin of Wellbrook in the UK a number of changes have been made.
Here is a quick rundown.

1. Variable termination using a Vactrol or some other method is an absolute must! Peak performance cannot be realized with a fixed resistor.
This is very easy to do. All that is needed is a Vactrol or Andy's unit that was described recently in MWC mounted in the termination/relay box in place of the termination resistor; an additional control line running from the in shack control box to the termination/relay box at the antenna and a 1K pot mounted in the control box to vary the voltage.

2. Use of a "magnetic" matching transformer in place of the one used by K9AY to reduce local noise pickup.
Among other designs the transformer designed by Nick Hall-Patch years ago works fine. Both Andy and myself came up with this at about the same time.

3. Ground. For a portable setup a 4 wire counterpoise system with a wire running under each leg of the antenna works well. For fixed home use a ground rod is the easiest way to go but the counterpoise will also work - in fact it is what I use. Suggested by Andy.

4. Separate feedlines for each loop. This was done by me so that I could use the 2 loops in a phasing setup against each other in the the few instances where phasing is still necessary.
Although the two loops can be successfully phased against each other I'm not totally satisfied. I am currently playing with a active whip antenna - MFJ1024 at the moment but a Dressler ARA60 is ordered - mounted at the top of the mast just above the loops.
Phasing one of the loops against the whip is working extremely well so far and will probably be my final setup. I then may revert to a single feedline for the two loops per the original K9AY article.
I had concerns that the active antenna feedline running down through the middle of the loops might mess up their patterns but so far that does not seem to be a problem.

5. Ground disconnect. Discovered by accident that in some instances nulls could be greatly improved by disconnecting from ground. So I have added an additional relay to do this.
I have a difficult time describing this, as it is very random. Don't know for sure why this is, but it seems to be caused by a interaction between the two loops when ground is removed.
In some cases nulls can be improved on one loop by varying the termination resistance on the other. Don't ask me to explain it any further - I can't.
To get the full benefit of this I'll have to continue using two feedlines instead of going back to one because with a single feedline a single termination resistance is used used for both loops.

6. Modified the control box so power could be fed to remotely sited amps. This is not needed if you don't use remote amps.
A 10db or so amp is needed but in shack units - such as the Kiwa work very well. 7. Separate RF and DC grounds are used in the relay/termination box. This is to minimize the possibility of noise getting into the antennas from the power supply. Suggested by Andy.

Of the above listed changes only number one is absolutely required for maximum performance.

Reason to Travel

Saturday, January 8, 2011

Most of my travel is work related, with a little leisure travel thrown in.  I'm sad to say that my flight tomorrow is neither.  Tomorrow, I will fly to Atlanta to attend the wake and funeral services of a wonderful man; husband to a dear friend of mine.

I only had the opportunity to meet Jeff a few times, and he was as wonderful and charismatic as his loving wife described him.  Jeff was an amazing father, grandfather and husband.  His wife and I became friends during a trying time in my life; and as she described the love they have for each other, they restored my faith in love.  Their love is selfless and kind; I never heard either of them say an unkind word to the other.  His romantic gestures were the kind of things they put in fairy tales.

My heart breaks for Jeff's family.

TRICARE can offer relief for allergy sufferers

| May 26, 2017 | 0 Comments

The key to getting relief from allergies is determining exactly what you are allergic to in a timely manner. TRICARE can help with allergy diagnosis and treatment. (Courtesy photo)

News Release
Whether it is seasonal or a reaction to a specific food, allergies can be bothersome or dangerous. With seasonal allergies, depending on where you live, allergies can begin to affect you as early as February. If you suffer from food or other allergies, the effects can be felt year-round. The key to getting relief is finding out exactly what you are allergic to as soon as possible.

Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to substances that do not bother the general population. According to the U. S. National Library of Medicine, allergic reactions are sensitivities to substances, known as allergens, which come into contact with the skin, nose, eyes, respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract. Allergens can be breathed into the lungs, swallowed or injected.

Common seasonal allergens and when sufferers may begin to experience a reaction are trees in February to June, grasses in May to August, ragweed in August to October, and mold, which does not fluctuate by season.

Reactions vary for each person when they are exposed to something to which they are allergic. First-time exposure may produce only a mild reaction. Mild allergic reactions include itching, rashes, watery or red eyes and nasal congestion.

Certain reactions can occur several hours after exposure, particularly if the allergen causes a reaction after it has been eaten. In very rare cases, reactions develop after 24 hours. However, one of the most severe allergic reactions, anaphylaxis, is a sudden and severe allergic reaction that occurs within minutes of exposure. Anaphylaxis requires immediate medical attention.

TRICARE logoDoctors use skin and blood tests to diagnose allergies and determine treatment options. TRICARE covers services and supplies required in the diagnosis and treatment of allergies. Treatments include medicines, allergy shots and avoiding the substances that cause reactions.

If you suffer from allergies or need more information, please visit the Allergy Services page on the TRICARE website to learn more about what treatment options are available.

Tobacco statistics in Europe

16% of all deaths in adults over 30 in the WHO European Region are due to tobacco, which is one of the highest proportions in the world. This is in contrast to the African or the Eastern Mediterranean Regions, where the proportion is 3% and 7% respectively, and the global average is 12%.

In the Region, 22% of women smoke, which is a higher percentage than in Africa, Asia or the Middle East – all of which come in at around 3–5%. There is also very little difference in the number of smokers between men and women, especially in Austria, Denmark, Ireland, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom. In Sweden and Norway, there are actually more women smoking than men and more girls than boys are using tobacco in Bulgaria, Croatia, Poland and Slovenia.

The Healthy Ambitions Fat Loss Diet Plan

Do you feel tired, sluggish, bored of eating the same old things? Feel the need to kickstart your health and fitness? Fed up of emotional highs and lows? Do you feel that food is the enemy?

Detoxify your gut, boost your immune system, balance your brain.

Fresh, delicious, natural foods with all the hard work done for you by an experienced professional chef – all you have to do is prepare, enjoy, and feel the benefits.

There are so many diets which focus solely on controlling one thing – calorie intake – with little regard for the type or quality of foods you ARE allowed to eat. Your body needs high quality fuel to be at its best; not just for physical ability but for your immune system and overall health too.

The diet plan simply makes sure you get the best fuel possible in the right quantities. No gimmicks, no calorie counting, no points and no “weigh-ins”. We won’t deny you still need good old fashioned willpower but we’re always there to support and advise. After a few weeks you’ll be so full of beans you’ll wonder how you even survived before!

The Healthy Ambitions Fat Loss Diet Plan

Drop a clothes size, boost your energy levels, bust your bad eating habits and sleep more soundly than ever!
Easy to follow diet plan
Daily nutritional advice, motivational emails and support
Easy to follow recipe book devised specifically for the diet plan (included)
Optional extra nutrition and diet sessions
Involves two fitness Pilates intensive classes (included) and two cardio sessions per week (to be completed in your own time)

What about all this fantastic food then?

Simply put, the fat loss diet plan works by cutting out certain not-so-beneficial elements from your daily diet and replacing them with healthier, more nutritionally balanced alternatives.

Stuff that’s out

Starchy carbs
Highly processed food
Caffeine and alcohol

Stuff that’s in

Non-processed food
High fibre carbs
Healthy fats
High-antioxidant foods
Plenty of water

The basics

Having used the diet plan here at Healthy Ambitions HQ, it’s definitely the first couple of days that are the most difficult. It may seem daunting at first, but remember we’re here to help and, above all, the results speak for themselves!

The exclusive recipe book provided at the start of the diet plan contains lots of simple, tasty dishes suitable for meat eaters and vegetarians alike, and covers you throughout the day – including a variety of snacks for those inevitable “hunger pang” moments.

Because so much of what is on offer in supermarkets contains substances that are not allowed on the plan, you will find it much easier and more enjoyable to sort out your own meals knowing exactly what’s going on your plate. You’ll also learn how to make effective use of any leftovers, transforming them into a whole new meal or accompaniment for the next again day; in the process reducing waste and the amount of packaging you go through. One of the unexpected side-effects of the plan we noticed here at Healthy Ambitions HQ was that our recycling and rubbish bins don’t fill up even half as quickly as they did prior to starting the diet.

Travel Club AGM Ends With Call For Support From Chairman

The Hednesford Town Independent Travel Club held their Annual General Meeting last Thursday night and Chairman Phil Reybould called for supporters of The Pitmen to follow their team to all corners of the North of England throughout the coming season.

Most Hednesford fans are looking forward to locking horns with local rivals Chasetown and Stafford Rangers but it is easy to forget that some very attractive away days lie in wait for the more discerning supporter next season.

‘We understand that home games are the bread and butter for a lot of Pitmen fans but, as a Club, we have a very passionate and welcoming away support and the Travel Club has become an integral part of that over many years and many miles of following Hednesford Town. This season will be no different and it would be great to welcome newcomers one and all to some exciting away days.’

Rob Smith’s side will travel to popular tourist spots such as Chester, Kendal and Whitby along with the picturesque surroundings at Matlock in the Derbyshire Dales and the big city lights of FC United of Manchester. All away fixtures will see the travel coach stopping off in the town-centre two hours before kick-off to allow fans the opportunity to sample the amenities these interesting towns and cities have to offer.

A friendly and welcoming atmosphere prevails on the coach with regular raffles, super-six score predictors and the customary Man of the Match choice following the match.

The Travel Club operates a Gold Membership which ensures the holder travel on the coach to every away league game during the course of the season (subject to coach being chartered) and an understanding payment structure is put in place to help fans balance their finances. Prices are currently being discussed by the Travel Club and will be publicised in due course.

Keeper Crowned Player Of The Year As Pitmen Celebrate Successful Season

Hednesford Town Football Club shrugged off their play-off final disappointment with their annual Presentation on Friday night which saw goalkeeper Dan Crane crowned Supporters Association and Manager’s Player Of The Year.

Kyle Patterson was awarded with the Player’s Player Award and also the Travel Club Player of the Year award while Darren Campion received the Hednesford Town Supporters Player of the Year. Danny Quinn’s outstanding scissor kick against Truro City in January was voted as goal of the season as all ticket holders were given a vote after watching a season highlights reel prior to the presentation.

Over one-hundred-and-seventy people turned out to celebrate with the Pitmen squad who finished second in the Zamaretto Premier Division and also won the Red Insure Cup as management team Rob Smith and Larry Chambers signed off a successful season.

Smith enthused, ‘Despite the play-off defeat we know that this Club has made a sizeable step forward this season, both on and off the pitch. Tonight was good to see the team get together as a squad but it was also important to merit the people behind the scenes who have put in so much hard work this season.’

Numerous presentations were made to several people who give up a great deal of time to run Hednesford Town by Club Secretary Terry McMahon. Cath McMahon, Paula Smith, Dorinda Gibbons, Sam Tudor and Michelle Plumb were all rewarded for their work in hospitality, catering, stewarding and office positions. Jon Hawkins was voted Supporters Association Supporter of the Year for his sterling work in producing highlights of matches, Marie O’Boyle was rewarded for her work selling raffle tickets and Dave and Scott Smith received thanks for their work on stadium safety among many other duties.

Jas Singh received the Clubman of the Year award for his work in the commercial department throughout the season, the important on-going assistance of Club Chairman Steve Price and his wife Carol was also noted and the Supporters Association received the Reg Stokes Memorial Shield for the hard work they have put in since December.

Terry McMahon registered his delight at the nights proceedings and looked forward to next season with huge enthusiasm, ‘Tonight’s event has showed how many people have a deep affiliation with our Club and, alongside the brilliant work of Rob and Larry, I am sure that Hednesford Town can continue to improve in all aspects as we move into the next season.’

Cup Final Event raises £1,000 for Japanese Earthquake Appeal

Cannock’s three leading local service groups Rotary, Soroptimists and Lions have held a successful charity fundraising event at the Pitmen’s Cup Final on 12 April.  The three groups had joined with Hednesford Town Football Club to combine their fundraising expertise in aid of the Japanese Earthquake Appeal.

A raffle and bucket collection, together with the proceeds of a previous raffle at the Club, topped off by a personal donation from Football Club Chairman Steve Price raised £1,000.

Commenting on the event, Rotary Club president Peter Barke said: “Steve Price had already supported the event by waiving normal charges and by donating raffle prizes, we’re really grateful to him for the fantastic gesture of rounding up the funds raised to £1,000.”

Trish Mellor and Doug Smith of Soroptimists and Lions respectively added: “The generosity of local businesses (in particular Midland Independent Financial Advisers and AB Windows) has been tremendous.”

Darren Campion wins first Player of the Month Award

The Supporters Association members have nominated Darren Campion as the winner of the inaugaral Player of the Month Award which will be presented prior to the home match on 9th April against Bedford Town FC.

This first presentation of this new award is based on performances over the period from mid February to the end of March and is an accumulation of votes for Man of the Match as cast by members of the HTFCSA.

Kyle Patterson and Nick Wellecomme also figured highly due to their performances in the February/March period but it was Campsta who came with a very strong late run due to some fine recent performances to add to the consistency that he has shown since he joined the club.

The HTFCSA Player of the Month Award will be an important recognition of players performances on an ongoing basis.

Social Networking The Future As Pitmen Move Onto The Net

Hednesford Town Football Club have found their way into social networking with real success this season with a fantastic array of new features aimed at keeping supporters up-to-date with news, views and highlights of recent matches.

Since the beginning of 2011, match highlights have been posted onto the clubs You Tube channel which can be found by searching for Hednesford Town FC @ The channel gives supporters who were there the chance to re-visit the best moments of the game and also means fans who weren’t able to attend can still see brilliant goals such as Danny Quinn’s scissor kick to beat Truro in January.

The Facebook page for the club recently reached 1200 friends in the three months since its inception and there are many features included on the page for supporters to look at. The group can be found by searching for Hednesford Town @

This week, for example, has seen the beginning of a series covering the classic 1996-97 run to the FA Cup 4th round with the match highlights being posted of every round right up to the gallant 3-2 defeat to Premier League Middlesbrough at The Riverside.

Another feature of the page is the creation of a Facebook Hall of Fame where friends of the group can vote for their favourite player to be inducted. The first entrant was a certain Scott Cooksey who successfully garnered fifty votes this week. More players will be suggested and be inducted as the season goes by.

Both sites are run by the Hednesford Town Football Club Supporters Association and all supporters of The Pitmen are encouraged to join the association and get involved by contacting Mark Goodwin @

All the social networking aspects of the Supporters Association are grouped together at the newly registered website –

The next meeting of the Supporters Association is on Thursday 10th February 2011 at Keys Park and begins at 7pm with a committee meeting (with members free to observe if they wish)and will then be opened to all members from 8pm.

Luxury vinyl flooring is a great choice

If you are new to the process of purchasing new floor coverings, be sure to spend an extra few minutes considering luxury vinyl flooring (LVF). You may be familiar with vinyl, having seen it in the homes from your childhood. However, LVF is a completely different product than the old bargain bin sheet vinyl from yesteryear.

In fact, LVF has so many benefits, you’ll wonder why you hadn’t thought of it sooner. At Heirloom Flooring, we can tell you everything you need to know about this, and many other floor coverings. In fact, we not only help you choose the right product for your home, we assist you throughout the entire process. We service the areas of Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, Sacramento, Roseville, and Cold River, with a showroom located in Carmichael, CA. We invite you to stop by at your convenience.

Why luxury vinyl?

There are many things that make luxury vinyl the floor covering of choice for many homeowners today. One is the fact that it so closely resembles real materials such as solid hardwoods, natural stone and even porcelain and ceramic tile, right down to the grout. This option comes courtesy of 3D image printing that not only prints out the classic look of these materials, but the real-feel as well. For those that don’t have the time, or the budget, for those higher end materials, this makes a great second choice.

This is a floor covering that is extremely durable as well, which will come in very handy for busy households. Thanks to the protective wear layer, situated right on top, you won’t have to worry as much about scratches, scuffs and other minor mishaps that can often wreak havoc on a floor. The thicker that wear layer, the better protected your floors will be against everyday wear and tear and more.

The installation process is quick and easy, another aspect of this flooring that homeowners simply love. This not only saves you time, which is a valuable commodity in this day and age, but it also saves you money on the overall installation process. What’s more, you will be able to walk on your floors immediately after installation. That’s something you can’t do with hardwood or tile flooring.

Finally, you’ll be very pleased with the ease in which this floor cleans up. The only tools you’ll really need to get the job done are a broom and a damp mop.

Taking the Cello on a Joy Ride

Short Copy

Helen Gillet is a singer-songwriter and surrealist-archeologist exploring synthesized sounds, texture, and rhythm using an acoustic cello.  For someone with her varied background, New Orleans, with its mix of cultures and musics, seemed like a natural place to call home.  She was born in Belgium, raised in Singapore from the ages of 2 to 11, and routinely shuttled between the homelands of her Belgian father and American mother.  Over the years — working in New Orleans with musicians of all stripes, from avant-garde jazz and classical to pop and funk — Gillet has developed a singular polyglot style. The core of her work is solo performance with live looping, layering cello parts and vocal lines. Rhythmic figures emerge with bowed or plucked ostinatos or a variety of rubbing and slapping on the body of the cello, then enhanced with melodies played or sung in her haunting alto. Her mixed musical vocabulary is commensurate with her disparate travels — French chanson of the 1940s, Belgian folk tunes sung in Walloon, a mix of rock and punk from the likes of PJ Harvey and X-Ray Spex, and her own affecting originals, like audience favorite “Julien,” sung in a mix of French and English. Gillet’s solo performance is known for its enigmatic quality as she fabricates each song with innovative use of the cello and true mastery of live looping technology.
by Zack Smith

Long Copy

Cellist, singer, composer and improviser, Helen Gillet grew up in a musical household.  Her father's Belgian family often sang songs around several guitars or a piano, her father improvised medleys of classical and jazz on the piano while her mother played classical clarinet and piano.   Gillet was born in Belgium but raised in Singapore, Chicago and Wisconsin before landing in her adopted home of New Orleans in 2002.  Gillet has a Bachelor’s Degree in both Music & Anthropology and a Master’s Degree in Music (Beloit College ’00, Loyola University New Orleans ’04).  Her training as an improviser began with North Indian Hindustani cellist Nancy Lesh in 1998, launching her into the worlds of free improvisation, jazz, funk, rock and song writing.  She has a deep love for French Chansons and the work of Belgian poet Julos Beaucarne.  Gillet has performed at a wide array of venues all over the world including New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Festival International (Lafayette, LA), Voodoo Festival, Copenhagen Jazz Festival and Hindsgavl Festival in Denmark, Nikodemuskirche Festival in Berlin, Mirano Oltre Festival in Italy, the Kennedy Center Center in Washington D.C. and MONA Mofo festival in Hobart, Tasmania and Darwin Music Festival in Australia, and her recent performance at the Lincoln Center in July of 2019.
Helen Gillet is a sought after recording artist, performer and composer in New Orleans.  She has recorded on projects by musicians Wardell Querzergue, Arcade Fire, Kid Koala, Fermin, Cassandra Wilson, Dr. John, Marianne Faithful, Harold Brown, Danny Brilliant, Bill Summers… Her original score work to Katrina & Beyond and Living with Water plays above Fats Domino’s wrecked piano as part of a permanent exhibit at the Louisiana State Museum. Helen Gillet is currently featured in the Jazz exhibit at the Old US Mint in New Orleans.  She has recorded and composed music for feature-length and short documentary films.  In the fall of 2018 she toured across the US and Canada with Iron & Wine.
Helen Gillet is a self-made artist, having produced and put out her own recordings since 2009.  Her two albums of French Chansons called: Newton Circus (2009) and Dusk in Wallonia (2015), as well as her progressive Jazz Trio, Running of the Bells (2011) w/ drummer Doug Garrison (Alex Chilton, Iguanas) and Tim Green (Cool and the Gang, Peter Gabriel) were recorded with engineer Mark Bingham in Lafayette and New Orleans, LA.  Her Improvised duo album w/ bassist James Singleton (James Booker, Astral Project): Ferdinand (2013) and her latest jazz project Tephra Sound: Horizon (2017) featuring drummer Nikki Glaspie (Beyoncé, Parliament Funkadelic) were recorded by engineer Andrew "Goat" Gilchrist in New Orleans.  Her self-entitled debut solo album, came out in 2012, followed by Bangkok Silver (2015), both recorded by engineer Chad Meise in Kansas City, MO.  The Wind Shakes the Trees - LP (2016), and Helkiase, inspired by Notre Dame à la Rose Hospital in Lessines, Belgium are both live albums recorded at the Antieau Gallery and the House of 1000HZ in New Orleans.
Helkiase features Gillet's songs: "Slow Drag Pavageau” a tribute to New Orleans’ bassist and instrument maker Alcide Pavageau and "Vautour," a song commissioned by Israeli artist Naama Tsabar in 2017.  In addition to singing and playing cello w/ live loops, Gillet also uses Moog synthesizer, Steiner Electronic Valve Instrument, a 7'' single of a 1940's speech by General de Gaule, and a TR-9 Roland drum machine.
in 2019-2020 Helen Gillet will be performing shows in New Orleans, touring to support her solo work and collaboarting with improvising musicians worldwide.  She is currently composing and for a new solo album and an extensive tribute to Belgian poet, humanist and musician Julos Beaucarne is in the works.

An Evening with Melissa Etheridge: Monday, November 12, 2012

On Monday, Spend an evening with Melissa Etheridge at Atlanta Symphony Hall.  Start the day by making expert waffles under the direction of Alton Brown.  Then continue your research on a trip to Spain.  Then, lunch and a game of bocce in the warm Fall afternoon at Empire State South.  Finally, wrap it up with Melissa.  Not bad, my friends...

Here's what you do Monday, November 12, 2012

 Spend an Evening With Melissa Etheridge Monday Night at the Atlanta Symphony Hall
Melissa Etheridge has a new album out, 4th Street Feeling.  From Rolling Stone:

"This album's dramatic opening track, "Kansas City," finds Melissa Etheridge recalling a youthful journey to freedom fueled by "Lucky Charms and Tic Tacs and Mom's amphetamines" in her "old man's Delta 88." Such autobiographical musing deepens Etheridge's 12th disc, which also expands her sonic palette. She plays all the guitars, a first, and producers Jacquire King (Kings of Leon) and Steve Booker (Duffy) deftly curb her over-the-top tendencies. "Be Real" is spare and funky, "Enough Rain" raw and folky. The restraint serves her well. She's realized that sometimes holding a little back can make what's there hit with all the more force."
On Monday night, she stops in Atlanta to spend an evening with us at the Atlanta Symphone Hall.  Should be a great show.  Tickets are about $50 - $130.  Get them at Ticketmaster.

Here's What You Do does a new day plan every day.  Like us on Facebook below to get updates on your Facebook page.

Here's what you do Monday

First:  We always slide easily into a Monday.  No need to make the start of your week such a shock.  How about some breakfast at home?  Check out this awesome recipe for waffles from one our Atlanta favorites, Alton Brown.  The guy knows cooking inside and out.  He's the Doc Brown of the food network.  $10 for ingredients for great waffles.

Second:  Time to catch up on some travel research.  The Trip to Spain research continues.   This time, let's find out about places to stay in Barcelona.  Sometimes you feel like a 5 Star Hotel.  Sometimes a B&B - or pension, if you're learning the local lingo.  Mom and Pop, Barcelona style. has a great list to work from.   Check out the  top 10 from the UK guardian.  Or,  check out TripAdvisor.  They have great reviews from folks who've walked the walk.   Finally, the UK Telegraph gives a pretty darn good list of recommendations that covers the spectrum from luxury to hostel.  Check 'em all out and add to your travel plan.

The Hotel Claris is a reasonably priced (around $160 per night) beautiful hotel in Barcelona.

Third:  It's an unusually warm Fall day in the ATL.  Spend it in style with Lunch and bocce at Empire State South.   It's one of Here's What You Do's favorites, and when you go you'll see why.  You're greeted with an outdoor bocce court of classic proportion and surrounded by tall buildings, so that the wind swirls and sets the stage for your bocce greatness.  Then, you enter the restaurant.  It looks like the dining room you wish you had.  A playful mix of chocolates and tans and blues and light and dark.  But the winner is the food.  Try the beet marmalade on toast to start.  Then, have the creole egg salad sandwich.  Finish off lunch with a game of bocce and a glass of bourbon (Elijah Craig, please) or a prosecco.  You're good to go.  ($ - $25 per person).

Empire State South for Lunch, and a game of bocce in the beautiful Atlanta sunshine.

Fourth:  Nap time.  Time to restore and get ready for the concert.

Finally:  Ms. Etheridge awaits.  Go check her out.  $80 per person.  Plus $10 for parking.

Book Keeping

For two people:
  • Breakfast: $10
  • Spain Research: $Free
  • Lunch at ESS: $50
  • Etheridge: $170
Total: $230

Day Map:

View MelissaEtheridge in a larger map

Carbon Footprint:

Today's full day plan can take up to about 2 miles of driving, if your home base is midtown Atlanta.  Heck!  You could walk that.  No problem.  If you did chose to drive (?!!), the 2 miles  equates to about 1 pound of carbon dioxide, or the carbon sequestered by about 0.5 sq feet of forest.  Calculations are based on the U.S. EPA's green house gas equivalencies calculator.

2 miles of driving
pounds of carbon dioxide
0.5 square feet of forest would be required to sequester this carbon.

Wonder why a gallon of gas (about 6 pounds) generates 20 pounds of green house gas?  Check out this article at

How to Please a Guru?

Question: How to Please a Guru?

Being a reader of these mails I feel that you are a selfless representative of Lord Krishna. I know that it is wrong to judge a devotee by my fallen intelligence. Neither I have the capacity to understand your selfless services to the society. Nor am I capable of judging a devotee's capabilities. Please let me know, how can I please a devotee and above all a guru who I understand is actually an external representative of Krishna. Please help me understand this, and also forgive my foolishness.

Answer: Develop Your Love for Krishna

The way to please the Lord's devotees and especially the spiritual master is to develop your love for Krishna. The spiritual master's only mission is to awaken the dormant love for Krishna in the hearts of all men. So if you will fully dedicate your life for awakening your dormant Krishna consciousness, the spiritual master will be most pleased with you.

PRICE (AP RHYS AP HYWEL), William (c.1520-74 or later), Beaumaris, Anglesey.

Published in The History of Parliament: the House of Commons 1509-1558, ed. S.T. Bindoff, 1982
Available from Boydell and Brewer

Family and Education

b. c.1520, 1st s. of Rhys ap Hywel ap Rhys of Bodowyr in Llanidan by Alice, da. of Dafydd ap Ieuan ap Matto. suc. fa. 1540.1

Offices Held

Capital burgess, Beaumaris 1562.2

In the will of Rhys ap Hywel, written in Welsh and Latin and proved in 1540, William Price is mentioned as the eldest son. Although of an old Welsh family from the south of Anglesey and kin to several unsympathetic to the Bulkeleys, he was to identify himself with the Bulkeley interest. His father named one William Bulkeley (probably the Member of that name, living at Llangefni) as protector of his wife and executrix, and a generation later Price was the lessee of ten acres from Richard Bulkeley. On the first two occasions that he was returned for Beaumaris the knight for the island was his cousin Rowland ap Meredydd and on the third Richard Bulkeley. After 1559 Price rarely used the Welsh form of his name, but it was by his patronymic that he was entered on the tenancy list in 1574. This is the last reference found to him.3

Vickers Valentia

The Vickers Valentia was the name given to a strengthened version of the Vickers Victoria troop transport, powered by two Pegasus engines. Work on replacing the Napier Lion engines of the Victoria with the Bristol Pegasus began in 1932, and would produce both the Victoria VI and the Valentia.

Vickers Valentia
Vickers Valentia

The combination of the existing Victoria airframe and Pegasus engines produced an aircraft capable of flying at weights of up to 18,000lb. This did not use all of the power provided by the Pegasus engines, and so a stronger airframe and undercarriage was developed. With the new airframe in place the Pegasus engines could lift 19,500lb. It was decided to call aircraft with the new airframe the Vickers Valentia, probably to avoid any danger of overloading a standard Victoria. Aircraft with the new engines but the old airframe became Victoria VIs.

Twenty eight Valentias were built from new, and another 54 were produced by modernising existing Victorias. The Valentia entered service with No.70 Squadron in the Middle East in 1934 and with No.216 Squadron in 1935. They remained in service until 1941, taking part in the early stages of the war in North Africa, while aircraft of No.31 Squadron took part in the fighting in Iraq during 1941.

Over the Wire - A Pow's Escape Story from the Second World War, Philip Newman

Over the Wire - A Pow's Escape Story from the Second World War, Philip Newman

Philip Newman was a British army surgeon who was captured at Dunkirk, but eventually managed to escape from a German POW camp and make his way to safety across France and into Spain. This memoir tells the entire story, from the phoney war to the final arrival in Britain and everything in between.

The escape itself was very simply - the author simply hid when a camp was being evacuated, waited for the remaining guards to disappear and then walked out. The main interest in this book comes in the section before the author was captured, and the period between his escape and his reaching safety.

We start with good coverage of the military medical service in the days between the start of the German offensive in the west and the evacuation from Dunkirk. This was a period of chaos, and desperate retreats, finishing with a series of attempts to get the wounded evacuated. Eventually the decision had to be made to leave some of the doctors behind to care for those wounded who couldn’t be evacuated, and Newman was one of the men chosen. The section on the arrival of the Germans is fascinating.

This is followed by a brief period in camp, different from many accounts because of the medical element. Next comes the escape, attempted once the author believed his medical services were no longer so urgently needed, and before the camp was evacuated from occupied France to Germany.

The period between the escape from the camp and the safe arrival in Spain is the most interesting. It makes you realise just how much luck was involved in this process, with the key moment being the first contact few contacts with French civilians and the attitude they took. Newman was lucky and soon fell in with the resistance, but even then he had to make his way from occupied France to Vichy France, join up with an escape line, and finally cross the Pyrenees to relative safety in Spain. This section makes you realise just how much risk the French took as they helped escaped POWs and other evaders reach safety, and also how difficult even simple tasks such as providing food could be.

This is a splendid escape story, covering the entire experience, and in particular the difficult task of getting from the outside of the camp to safety in a neutral country, and comes highly recommended.

20171211_ktx700.jpg The KTX Gyeonggang high-speed train, which runs between Seoul Station and Gangneung Station in 1 hour and 54 minutes, began selling tickets on Nov. 30. Ticket sales are now three times higher than those at other high-speed train lines in the country. The photo above shows the KTX Gyeonggang train as unveiled to visiting journalists and broadcasters on Nov. 21. (Jeon Han)

By Xu Aiying and Kim Young Shin

The KTX Gyeonggang high-speed train that connects Seoul and Gangneung is growing in popularity.

Although the train doesn’t start running until Dec. 22, reservations became available on Nov. 30. Of all the seats available between Dec. 22 and Jan. 6, 2018, some 16.6 percent of them have already been sold, as of Dec. 7. This is three times higher than early seat sales along other train lines in Korea.

By date, tickets for trains on Jan. 1 are sold out the most (36.9 percent), followed by seats on Dec. 23 (34.2 percent), Dec. 24 (30.3 percent) and Dec. 25 (29.3 percent).

Korail, the national train operator, explained that the new train line is recording high sales because it travels from Seoul to Gangneung in just 1 hour 54 minutes, which appeals to tourists who want to take a day trip to Gangneung.

“Consumers are really interested in the new KTX Gyeonggang line because it will help them enjoy their trip to Gangwon-do Province during the Christmas and New Year’s season,” said Yu Jae-young, acting president at Korail. “We will do our best to help passengers take a quick and easy trip on the KTX.”

The company also plans promotional events from Dec. 22 to Jan. 31, 2018, for the new high-speed train line.

More information about the KTX Gyeonggang is available at Korail’s website (www.letskorail.com). Tickets can be bought at train stations across the nation and on the mobile app Korail Talk.

How to open file with MANI extension?

The MANI file extension belongs to the category Video Files. The extended name of this file format is Mine-imator Project File. Below is a list of programs that support files with this extension. Just download one of them, then double click on the MANI file, which did not want to open and manually select the program installed by default. The MANI file should open now without any problem.

It can also happen that, despite the installation of one of the following programs, your MANI file will still return an error when you try to run it. In such a case, refer to the next part of our article, where we present solutions to most problems that may occur when you try to work with the new file extension, which is the MANI.

The contents covered by the rest of the article:

Advertising OS Programs that open the extension

MANI file extension

Associating the MANI file with the installed software

Open with

At the first start of the MANI file, after installing a new application from the list above, the operating system should automatically associate our MANI file with the installed program. However, if that did not happen, we can do this step ourselves. Therefore, it is necessary to:

  • Right-click the MANI file that we want to open, then clicking the option "Open with"
  • Then go to the "Choose default program" and we look for the path where our new application has been installed (in most cases it is the "Program Files" directory on drive C: at our computer and then the folder with the name of the installed program)
  • Confirm by pressing the OK button

When you do this, the operating system should automatically associate our MANI extension with the new application. If for some reason this operation could not be performed in the manner indicated, see how to add association manually in the Windows Registry

Possible problems with the MANI file

Typical error of the MANI extension is shown by an error message when you try to open or read a file with extension that is not compatible with the programs installed on your computer. If while trying to open a MANI file Windows will not be able to locate a particular program, the following errors may be displayed "No script engine for MANI file extension", "Invalid file extension: undefined", "Incompatible file extension and file table", "Invalid file extension". It is important to react quickly and fix errors that may be caused by the following problems:

The file may be corrupt
In this case, the solution may be to find another copy of the MANI file, to ask for another copy of it (if you got it from another person), or to try to download it again from the internet.
Entries of associations of the MANI file in the Windows Registry may be incorrect
In this case, you can try to delete the file for the extension of the MANI file and create it again. The information about how to find the registry entry can be found in the further part of the article
The entry containing the file associations in the Registry may have been deleted.
In this case, you must associate the MANI file with the application either by selecting the application (information here) or manually (information here).
The application for supporting the MANI file has not been entirely installed.
Check if the application opens up properly. If there is a problem, you can try to install it again.
The file has been infected by viruses or spyware.
Install any antivirus program, specializing in the removal of Malware and Spyware types of viruses, scan your computer and try again.
Your computer does not have sufficient resources to the currently open the MANI file.
To open some files, the program needs now a large amount of CPU resources. If you are using many applications at the moment, try closing unnecessary ones and try again.
We do not have updated drivers for the application to open the file.
We install all the drivers that are needed to run the application that supports the MANI file.

Manual entry of the file type to the Windows Registry

Registry edit

Very important!
Before you make any manual changes to the Windows Registry, make its copy earlier. With manual operations it is not difficult to make a mistake, and the changes are irreversible. Therefore, it is good to have a backup. Remember that the website is not liable for any damages that may arise during the use of the information given. If you are not sure that you can do these things, ask an expert for help.

How to do this?
Most of the items on the registry concerning the MANI file are added automatically during installation of the program/application. In some situations, the user himself has to create a new registry entry, and type in the appropriate value. This method can be used to associate a file type with an existing application. Then locate the ProgID of the application in the registry. To access the Windows registry editor - click "Start", type "regedit", and then press ENTER.

To associate the MANI file type with the new application, you must define the ProgID for a particular application and if you want to get information on defining a new ProgID, you should see the program identifiers. For information about file extensions and its associations with applications look in the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT .

To make it easier, here is an example:
We assume that we want a file type with a short extension .MANI and a long extension .MANI-file was opened using MyApplication. You should therefore use the syntax (creating in the registry a short extension .MANI and a subkey for the long extension .MANI-file) in the following way:

(Default) = ProgramVendor.MyApplication

(Default) = ProgramVendor.MyApplication

(Default) = MyApplication Program

Have you ever got a file that you could not open? Probably the situation was that it had an extension not used before on your computer, e.g. MANI. Such a situation could also take place with other extensions, but it always ended the same - giving you a headache when determining which program should be used to properly open the file.

Typically, Windows has the appropriate software to open the MANI file or just preview its contents. Often, however, there is no such software, and then we need to identify what kind of file it is, and download the appropriate software to support it.

Many people have no idea where to start. The simplest solution is to visit our website and search for the appropriate extensions in our database.

Report 10th FIAC

The Moon Has Set

This was the title of the case study of the 10th Frankfurt Investment Arbitration Moot Court. For its anniversary, the dispute between the protagonists happened at the same time as the first case study did. The famous Kleopatra VII, the Queen of Egypt, concluded two contracts with Herod, the King of Judaea. One was a bilateral investment agreement between Egypt and Judaea, the other was an agreement with which Kleopatra VII conferred land and rights to Herod. Kleopatra VII died shortly after due to a war between Egypt and Rome. 21 years later, her daughter Kleopatra Selene, Queen of Mauretania, advises her legal scholars to commence arbitration because of an alleged breach of the BIT between Egypt and Judaea and the agreement by Herod.

For our first step to prepare for the pleadings, we needed to write two written memoranda, one for the side of the claimant, Kleopatra Selene, and one for the side of the respondent, Herod. Therefore, we started to get ourselves an overview over the timeline and the people mentioned in the case study. Proceeding, we researched the nine issues that were given by the case study. In those issues, we discussed problems like the definition of an investment, the nationality of the claimant and the impartiality of an arbitrator. After many long days in the library and extensive meetings and discussions, we handed in the two memos at the turn of the year and received invaluable feedback from our coaches.

Subsequent our winter exams, we implemented the feedback and started to prepare ourselves for the oral rounds. We therefore sorted out our best arguments and practiced our pleadings. Because timing was an important issue, as the teams are expected to have an exact time management, we needed a clear and easy understandable structure. Thus, we sorted out interesting but too long and complicated argumentation lines. We not only had to practice our pleadings, but needed to be prepared to be interrupted by questions of the arbitrators.

In mid-February, our first pre-moot in Paris was around the corner. After the training sessions at Pestalozzi we felt well prepared and were excited to finally show our skills.

The Pre-Moot in Paris

On 19 February 2017, early Sunday morning, we took the TGV to Paris. After we arrived in our cozy Airbnb apartment close to Montparnasse, we spent the last hours on fine-tuning our pleadings. On the following day, the event took place at the impressive venue of the ICC in the middle of Paris.

In the preliminaries, there was just one round: We pleaded as Respondent against Moscow State University, the winner of the Moscow pre-moot. It was a tough round. Moscow State University was extraordinarily skilled. They adapted immediately to our structure, mentioned a substantive amount of case law and criticized our time management. However, we didn’t lose our train of thought and delivered a strong performance as well. In the end, both teams advanced to the quarter finals.

In the quarter finals we pleaded as Claimants against University of Luxembourg. The round was on a high and equal level. Due to time issues the semi-finals were cancelled. Neither Luxembourg nor we made it to the final round.

In the evening, we had the opportunity to get to know the other teams at a cocktail reception organized by Shearman & Sterling LLP.

Over all, the experience in Paris was very valuable. We got a first impression on how the final moot in Frankfurt was going to be. Moreover, the pre-moot clearly showed us where we had to improve.

The Pre-Moot in Stockholm

Only two days after returning to St. Gallen from Paris, we left to travel up north, destination Stockholm. The schedule of the first day started in the afternoon, which allowed us to take the morning off and we got to see a little bit of the city. We then attended the conference at the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce on Friday afternoon. Following the conference, all the teams and the speakers transferred to the offices of Mannheimer Swartling for a cocktail reception. The location on the 12th floor, including a terrace and a beautiful view over Stockholm, gave a first impression of what was awaiting us the next day. On Saturday, eight teams participated in the pre-moot event, which was held at Mannheimer Swartling. The firm reserved a whole floor for the moot, providing each team with a private preparation room for the day. In general, Mannheimer Swartling has been very generous and organized a memorable event altogether.

We started the morning as Respondent against Uppsala University. The presiding arbitrator in this pleading was very active and threw both teams off their structure pretty well. This was certainly a new experience for us, however very beneficial as it taught us how to adjust more spontaneously and still handle the time. For our second round, we then faced Moscow University as Claimant, a déjà-vu after our first encounter in Paris. We were able to present our arguments in a good structure and had a solid performance. However, in the end, the points were not enough to advance to the final four. We then used the final rounds in the afternoon to listen to the other teams, which was very beneficial as well, as it gave us a much broader impression of different pleading styles.

After the final round, all the teams and some of the arbitrators then went to have dinner together and later finished the evening at a club. The well-organized social program allowed us to mingle with the other teams, creating friendships that later continued in Frankfurt. Overall, the Stockholm pre-moot was a great experience, in both competition and social regards. We can nothing but recommend the participation to future teams.

The Final of the Frankfurt Investment Arbitration Moot Court

Finally, it was time for us to go to the much-anticipated final event in Frankfurt (Main). We arrived there Monday morning and while some of us still used the afternoon to prepare for the following days, the others went to the opening conference which concluded in the announcements of the group match-ups. We learned that we had to face off against the West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences Kolkata, India and the Eugene Dupuch Law School Nassau, Bahamas on Tuesday morning. On Wednesday morning, we were scheduled to plead against the University of Amsterdam.

Although we were quite convinced of our arguments, some of the arbitrators managed to throw us off at times, which presented us with the difficulty of adjusted time-management and left us with no choice but to constantly restructure our pleadings. Our coaches, who accompanied us during all our pleadings, were of great help here, giving us valuable feedback after every session, which allowed us to get better and to make a more confident appearance during the next pleading.

Unfortunately, a win, a draw and a loss was not enough for us to advance to the round of sixteen. After shaking off the initial disappointment we decided to make the most of remaining events and to use the opportunity to get to know some of the teams and to socialise. At this point it has to be noted, that the Frankfurt event was very well organised and that it offered many different settings for the participants to acquaint, not only with one another but also with the arbitrators.

All in all, weare extremely happy that we had the chance to participate in such a great event. Preparing for the pre-moots as well as the main event certainly was a big strain, but it also allowed us to test and work on our presentation and argumentations skills, which we will undoubtedly profit from in our future careers. Future participants might want to focus already at a very early stage, on how they are going to present their arguments and work on being as flexible as possible with regards to structure. If we can say one thing with certainty, it is that you will not be able to present your arguments, the same way you planned to.

It should also be mentioned that the moot court is most and foremost a team event. Team work is not only crucial during preparations and when organising the event but also during the pleadings. We have relied greatly upon each other at different times during these past six months, which was only possible because we learned to trust in the capabilities of the each other.

We would like to thank our sponsors, Pestalozzi, WilmerHale, the University of St. Gallen as well as Novum Group for making it possible for us the compete in Paris, Stockholm and Frankfurt. We would also like to thank Jannick Koller, Nadine Bosshard und Lorenzo Baldassarre for taking the time to listen to our pleadings prior the pre-moots and also for their valuable feedback, tips and insights with regards to the main event.

Most importantly, we would like to especially thank our coaches, Prof. Dr. Anne van Aaken, Lukas Rusch and Gentiana Imeri, for all the time and effort they invested in preparing us for Frankfurt.

Sunday Peak, Bohna Peak

17 July 2002

By: George Wysup

Sunday and Bohna, One Nice Hike

On June 9 last year my group hiked Bohna route 1. On the way up the steep road we encountered a steady stream on motorcycles racing down the road. This made for a rather dusty hike.

One biker, not in so much of a hurry, stopped to converse. We learned that their route started at the Sunday Peak trailhead, ascended to near the summit, then continued along a trail heading west, then south, along the ridge to the saddle just north of Bohna summit, then down the trail to our parking place, then along a dirt road back to the Sunday trailhead. More importantly, we learned that their organization had cleared the entire route.

I had heard of hikers trying this route between Sunday and Bohna and finding it choked with brush and difficult to follow. The info we received indicated that the route may be greatly improved. My curiosity was now ready to kill this cat and I aimed to try it.

On July 17 Sandy Burnside and I tried it from the Sunday trailhead. It appeared to have the hot weather advantage that the route never went below 6500', whereas the Bohna trailhead starts at 5500'. Also, the single hike would save a significant 16 miles of driving.

We did the easy hike to the trail junction near Sunday's summit; then we turned right instead of the usual left. The trail continued west through a pine/cedar/red fir forest, then turned south, steeply down hill to a saddle north of bump 6991', up this bump and down the other side to the usual departure point at the saddle (6480+) north of Bohna, about 2.5 miles from the trail junction. To my surprise, the entire trail was through forest (so thick that it was impossible to get a GPS to track except in a few clearings), and the trail was as easy to follow as the PCT. The motorcycle activity had not eroded the trail terribly. In short, this was a very pleasant hike, though it was warmer than we would have liked.

The stats: Mileage is a bit under 9 miles round trip; total elevation gain (from Sandy's altimeter) is about 3400'. We took a leisurely 6 hours for the hike. In comparison, the separate hikes are about 6 miles with 2400' gain. Incidentally, the route is shown quite precisely on Brent Washburne's old HPS map, and rather less so on the more recent ".tpo" file.

Discussed in the meeting on Studies of Shahnameh at House of Literati

Abu Mahboob: Mithraism represents a distinctive manifestation in the Iranian Mythologization and Shahnameh

27 May 2012 - 15:38

In another meeting of the session series on Shahnameh Studies Ahmad Abu Mahboob pointed out to some features of "Fereydoun Ruling Era" including the mythical founding of Iran territory, the beginning of out-group or mixed marriage and Mehregan feast. He also talked about the impact of Mithraism on the Fereydoun's era and its different manifestations in the different courses of Iranian Mythologization.

IBNA: The fourth session of Shahnameh Studies was held attended by Ahmed Abu Mahbob in the House of Literati on May 22.

At the beginning of the session, after reading several lines of Shahnameh narrating the outset of Fereydoun's ruling, Abu Mahboob said: if you assume Fereydoun as the symbol of Ariyaeian race, his monarchy means then they out spread all over the world. From the modern point of view, this shows global domination, or unity global alliances. Another interpretation is Fereydoun's power absoluteness, establishing a kind of governmental system called now as "Federal"; in other words, the very primitive context of Federalism can be seen in Fereydoun ruling obviously.

Ferdowsi Shahnameh knew the beginning of Fereydoun's ruling of in Mehr [October] that had the Mehregan feast led to be emerged. Abu Mahboob explained: the beginning of Fereydoun reign is in the Persian month, Mehr [October] and its celebrating lasts until the middle of this month. We celebrate "Sadeh" [centenary] Festival as the memorial of Jamshid, with the same token Mehregan is the reminiscent of the Fereydoun reign.

This Shahnameh Scholar pointed to the relationship between Mehr and Mithraism and said: Mehr is in connection with Mithraism and Fereydoun reign can be known- in a sense- as the deployment Mithraism. However, both before and during Jamshid era the symbols and signs of Mithraism have been seen, but symbols are more obvious in the Fereydoun era. It seems as if 'Zahhāk' had been a barrier between the continuations of the two courses, since Fereydoun, the son of Abtin, is indeed Jamshid descent.

Then raising the question that: what was the role of 'Zahhāk' in that situation? Abu Mahboob explained: leaving alone its social and political aspects, from the view point of mythical chronology, 'Zahhāk' can be a symbol of moon and night period outset that in the Iranian myths –such as the moon and the serpent rooted on the shoulders of 'Zahhāk'-are connected with each other.

Emphasizing on the descent of Fereydoun from Jamshid, the researcher said: Shahrnaz and Arnavaz, the two wives of Zahhāk -who were also the ground daughters of Jamshid- couldn't be pregnant by him. In fact it can be said, that they are the rest of light, who have not picked the darkness load up because they are not belonged to the time of Zahhāk, but the same two sisters, became pregnant by Fereydoun who is also a noble continuation of Jamshid as well.

Abu Mahboob considered the outset the mythical founding of Iran territory coincident with Fereydoun monarchy and said: If we consider Cyrus as the historical founder of Iran, Fereydoun is no doubt the Mythical founder of this country as well. In fact, in Persian mythology Iran begins from the time of Fereydoun upward. Some scholars have compared Cyrus with Fereydoun and some others with Keykhosrow as well.

In addition to the ritual and thought of Mithraism, Zurvanism is also considered as an influential attitude amongst Persian Mythologization by this scholar .He explained: Zurvanism is a non- Ariyaeian ritual, common some days in the west parts of Iranian plateau that its symbols can also be seen in the Chaldean and Assyrian myths . Although Zurvanism extends up to the central parts of Persian territory, the Iranian intellectual foundation begins with Mithraism.

Then he considered also the Flag of Kaveh-ye- Ahangar (smithy) as a symbol of Mithraism, and said: regarding Mithraism, the flag of Kaveh-ye- Ahangar is also significant. This flag is made of leather with a jeweled cross depicted on it. The stamp of Kavian Flag is in a sense the symbol of Mithraism. Kaveh is a worker (blacksmith) who is dealing with iron and is indeed a symbol of tenacity and endurance. Iron is on the other hand the symbol of war because sword is made of it. It should be noted in this regard that "Mithra(s)" was also the symbol of winning the war which is reflected in the Kavian Flag. Thus "Mithra(s)" projects repeatedly through Iranian myths.

Stating that the duration of Fereydoun monarchy is about 500 year, Abu Mahboob said: Iranian attitude and worldview were of millennial ones, i.e. the time of Human creation and human life were divided into millennium courses. Later this reflected in the Zoroastrianism and then even in the poems of BaBA Taher .But the ruling course of Fereydoun is 500years. Here the important point is that when Ferdowsi comes to this part, he goes to Faranak, the mother of Fereydoun.

This author added: Faranak knows nothing about Zahhāk failure and Fereydoun kingdom, but after being informed, she gives alms for 14 days; a week in private as well as a week obviously. Taking into account that in the ancient time, there wasn't any concept of week as it is today; and 14 is the age of maturity in "Avesta"; and even in "Gozide Haye Zadesperm", again 14 days is needed for the Moon to be completed. So, these 14 days of charity must be associated with the Moon and a symbol of Fereydoun's integrity and accomplishment. In fact his monarchy represents his completeness and social maturity.

Abu Mahboob then pointed out to the birth of Fereydoon's children and said: Fereydoun has got 2 sons from Sharnaz and one from Arnavaz .They were very similar to him. Fereydoun asks one of the greats called "Jandal" to find suitable wives for his sons. He wants Jandal to find three virtuous, virgin and similar sisters who are from a noble family and all from the same parents. Perhaps this was to avoid disputes and to establish justice among them. Jandal who knew he couldn't be successful in Iran, to do so; he went to Yemen and in order to suite the daughters of "Sarv" the King of Yemen. This marriage can be one of the first out-group or mixed marriages which is the outset of race mixing

At the end of his lecture, Abu Mahboob said: since then, Fereydoun has not chosen any name for his sons and surprisingly the daughters have not been named by Sarve as well. It was after that, that naming ceremony has been considered in the Shahnameh.

Dealing with the naming ceremony was delayed to the next session of these serial meetings on the Studies of Shahnameh.

The fourth session of these serial meetings on the Studies of Shahnameh was held at 15 pm. in the House of Literati

The naming ceremony of a university professor to address the next meeting was adjourned Shahnamehpazhuhy.

Shahnamhpzhvhy fourth session, held yesterday, 15 in the House writers.

Burry Inlet UK – Oystercatcher and Knot

July 2010

The Burry Inlet is a large embayment in South Wales, bordered on its south side by the Gower peninsula. More than ten thousand oystercatchers migrate from their breeding grounds to the Inlet every autumn and spend the winter there feeding mainly on cockles and mussels. The cockle beds are also exploited by shellfishermen who fish all year round using traditional hand-gathering techniques. This can lead to potential conflicts between the interests of birds and shellfisheries, most famously in the 1970’s, when thousands of oystercatchers were culled on the Burry in an attempt to reduce their impact on the cockle fishery.

There have been mussel beds in the Burry Inlet for many years, but recently mussel beds began to form on top of one of the main cockle beds. This prevents shellfishing by traditional hand-raking techniques and may also smother and kill the underlying cockles. Removing these new mussel beds, known locally as ‘mussel crumble’, would benefit cockle fishermen but might be bad for the oystercatchers, which feed on mussels as well as cockles. At the request of the Countryside Council for Wales, we developed a model of oystercatchers, cockles and mussels in the Burry Inlet and used it to determine how important the mussel crumble was for the birds.

The model showed that the mussel crumble could be removed without affecting the oystercatchers when cockle stocks in the Inlet were high. If cockle stocks were lower than at present, the mussel crumble was more important to the birds and removing it would mean some birds would have to leave the Inlet during the winter months or face starvation.

postheadericon Today’s a lot of Popular Casino Gamings Boast a Colorful Background

The exact same is true if you wish to play a detailssuch as Omaha or Razz that are not so commonly positioned at casinos. Whereas you may have to wait some time for a Razz table to open at a casino, online you can simply jump right into a game given that the field of participants is bigger. This larger area of gamers likewise means you are most likely to jump into a game with more inexperienced players, which may imply if you are texas hold’em shark; it may be very easy for you to prey on the smaller sized tables and make some profits.

Realize though, that where considerable loan can be made, substantial losses can still be gotten online as there are gamers who are better than you too, so you have to be extremely careful to still get a read on every gamer up until you unsure how you should be playing your game similarly you would if you were in a casino. Much of today’s modern-day casino games are simply the latest in a lengthy line of gambling tasks that date back to the earliest documents of a human being a more up-to-date pair of dice was being utilized secretive gaming halls throughout 18th century England in the earliest kind these days’ preferred game of craps.

Contemporary casino games

Keno, another among the earliest types of gambling and also one with several of the awful odds for the gamer, is claimed to have actually originated in old China during the Han Empire. The first Chinese version of the game featured 120 personalities drawn from a preferred poem of the moment. Although other forms of a lottery game คาสิโนออนไลน์ ฟรี were played later on in Europe, the introduction of Keno to the U.S. was made by Chinese seafarers seeing San Francisco. The Americanized version used numbers as opposed to personalities and 80 boxes as opposed to 120 in similar type as is located in online casinos today.

Very early types of playing cards going back to the 9th century have also been found in China. However when playing cards began to be made use of later throughout Europe several of the complex layouts on the Oriental selection was replaced with cards representing guys of nobility. Not until the 1500s did women break into the styles when the French changed among the Kings in their deck with a Queen. That was among the first designs of the common 52 card deck that we still use today for some of the most prominent casino games including texas hold’em and blackjack. Today, any kind of a severe fan of online roulette knows to search out the European wheel instead of the American wheel as a result of the far better chances for the player.

By John Lee.
The European Parliament’s foreign affairs committee on Monday backed a historic deal that establishes the first ever contractual relationship between the EU and Iraq. MEPs recommended that the full House endorse the partnership and cooperation agreement (PCA) but listed concerns over human rights and political failings in Iraq and called for a stronger EU presence there.
The committee approved the agreement, signed by the EU and Iraq May 2012, by 47 votes to 0, with 2 abstentions. The PCA still needs to be backed by the full Parliament (probably in January 2013) and ratified by all the member states.
Concerns about continuing violence
In an accompanying, non-binding resolution passed by 49 votes to 0, with 2 abstentions, foreign affairs MEPs raise particular concerns over human rights violations still occurring in Iraq, affecting women and religious minorities, including Christians, in particular. They stress that the continuing acts of violence against civilians “instill in the population a deep sense of fear and uncertainty” and express concerns over sectarian violence and tense relations between the Iraqi government and the opposition.
Call for stronger EU presence
MEPs point out that the EU Delegation in Iraq is not fully operational, as it still lacks its own adequate premises and the Head of Delegation does not have the necessary security cover to travel to all parts of the country, in order to monitor the implementation of programmes financed by the European Union, the human rights situation and the reform process.
The partnership and cooperation agreement establishes a framework for deeper political and economic cooperation, counter-terrorism and the promotion of human rights. It includes basic trade cooperation rules to help Iraq on its way to eventual WTO accession, provisions on holding annual ministerial meetings to evaluate progress in peace, democracy and the rule of law, and a specific clause on cooperation to help Iraq accede to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
According to a report from UPI, the European Commission had said it committed $85.7 million to development cooperation in Iraq for a two-year period.
