No current Talk conversations about this book.
It is an old Penguin book, the orange and white one, a reprint from 1951. This book, these musty papers are 8 years older than i am!
It was a 50c find, among boxes of old books for sale at the school fair last month. Maybe it was even just a quarter. Cheap as anyway. And still in good enough condition for reading; the pages arent falling out, there's no water damage etc. And it has that marvelous musty old book smell. Aaah.
And what a surprise of a treat to read. Having read only Brideshead Revisited many years ago, when i was too young to really appreciate it, but old enough to like it anyway, it felt like my introduction to the satire of Evelyn Waugh. It does make me wonder, where are these types of writers today?
The book has lively eccentric characters, you can see the old movie in your brain. Yet i am surprised that i cant find if a movie has been made of it. Some sassy comedy with fast talkers, smooth suave fraudsters, Claudette Colbert, or Cary Grant.....surely something must have been done on film with this....
(read several years ago, came across the jottings today)
An innocent abroad, a rural correspondant of "The Daily Beast", William Boot, gets sent overseas to cover the unrest in the African kingdom of Ishmaelia.
Apparently, not a totally inaccurate way of how foreign wars were covered, i.e. from a distance and quite a bit of it made up, which is disconcerting. (Of course, nothing like that would ever happen today....?)
A silly sitcom of an indictment of journalism. That is a sentence fragment.
Mrs Algernon Stitch recommends a reporter called Boot to go to Ishmaelia as newspaper The Beast's war correspondent. Unfortunately due to a mix up the wrong Boot gets 'called up' and leaves behind his cosy country home where he writes a column about nature and finds himself out of his depth in a foreign country on the brink of war, amongst a group of journalists as he struggles to come up with a 'scoop' that no other journalist gets wind of.
The first part of this book is really quite funny, and the character of Mrs Stitch is excellent. Unfortunately she soon disappears from the action and when that happened I felt the book lost some of its spark. There are some amusing moments, but on the whole I found it a bit of a let-down and not as good as Waugh's Vile Bodies. There has been some criticism of the book due to its apparently racist nature. I think today's reader has to remember that the book is "of it's time", and whilst some of the language wouldn't be acceptable if written today, it was acceptable at the time, even if it shouldn't have been.
The 1938 book [Scoop] by [[Evelyn Waugh]] satirically trashes "Fleet Street" journalism. It starts with an identity mix-up: the owner of The Daily Beast is persuaded to send hot novelist and travel writer John Courteney Boot to report on "a very promising little war" in the East African country Ishmaelia. Instead the newspaper mistakenly sends its mild-mannered and clueless staff writer William Boot, a nature writer who likes to compose sentences like, "Feather-footed through the plashy fen passes the questing vole."
Boot is joined by other journalistic Brits, Americans, French, Swedes and so on, all competing to outsplash the others. As it turns out, there's no war going on, so they need to get creative to please their editors. Rumors fly and quickly become stories, and the truth doesn't even merit secondary consideration. "News is what a chap who doesn't care much about anything wants to read. And it's only news until he's read it." The humor continues to have bite today, and it's easy enough to substitute "Rupert Murdoch" for "Lord Copper", the always-right owner of the Daily Beast, or to recognize the pressure newscaster Brian Williams felt to make up entertaining stories.
Sure enough,
This one is full of laughs. More than once it made me think of [[P.G. Wodehouse]] and his Jeeves and Bertie Wooster stories. Sure enough, toward the end of [Scoop], two characters bond over their mutual friendship with someone named "Bertie Wodehouse-Bonner".

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0316926108, Paperback)Evelyn Waugh was one of literature's great curmudgeons and a scathingly funny satirist. Scoop is a comedy of England's newspaper business of the 1930s and the story of William Boot, a innocent hick from the country who writes careful essays about the habits of the badger. Through a series of accidents and mistaken identity, Boot is hired as a war correspondent for a Fleet Street newspaper. The uncomprehending Boot is sent to the fictional African country of Ishmaelia to cover an expected revolution. Although he has no idea what he is doing and he can't understand the incomprehensible telegrams from his London editors, Boot eventually gets the big story.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:20:08 -0400)
"Lord Copper, newspaper magnate and proprietor of the "Daily Beast", has always prided himself on his intuitive flair for spotting ace reporters. That is not to say he has not made the odd blunder, however, and may in a moment of weakness make another. Acting on a dinner-party tip from Mrs Algernon Smith, he feels convinced that he has hit on just the chap to cover a promising little war in the African Republic of Ishmaelia. One of Waugh's most exuberant comedies, "Scoop" is a brilliantly irreverent satire of "Fleet Street" and its hectic pursuit of hot news."--Back cover.… (more)

We have absolutely no idea why Channing Tatum owns a Matthew McConaughey bust, but he's apparently using it as inspiration while he writes Magic Mike 2. Tatum posted the below image to his Facebook wall, writing, "What better way to start writing #MagicMike2 than with my old friend Dallas? #runatribe"
Sure the image is all kinds of adorable (especially the feather hat — we're loving the feather hat), but what this does sort of tell us is that McConaughey will most likely return for the sequel. If we remove the joke of the whole statue and whatnot, then what we have is Tatum using the bust to help fuel his ideas on where to take the McConaughey character in the sequel.
Many feel Magic Mike signaled the beginning of the Matthew McConaughey renaissance (or McConaissance, as the kids say), and we even think the dude deserved awards consideration for his portrayal of The Ultimate Male Stripper. We assume McConaughey will be back alongside Tatum in the sequel, which was once described as a "road movie" by Magic Mike writer Reid Carolin.
"You know, we are talking a lot about it," Carolin said. "We have a story, and it is really ridiculous and fun. It's a road movie sort of thing, where a bunch of strippers get back together. It's more of a broad comedy. I don't know whether it will happen or not."
Earlier reports suggested Tatum could actually direct the sequel, especially since Steven Soderbergh has kinda-sorta retired from directing big-screen movies. Soderbergh is a tinkerer, though, and we cannot imagine any sequel happening that doesn't involve him in some capacity, even if he just helps edit or shoot certain scenes.
Regardless, the first one made over $ 167 million worldwide with a budget of $ 7 million, meaning a sequel is all but imminent, especially once McConaughey wins that Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club. Coincidentally, his character's name in Magic Mike is Dallas, so I think we've discovered a bit of a theme when it comes to his recent success. Perhaps he should only take on movies and roles that involve the word "Dallas" from now on, whaddya think?

So far, the BALCO steroid scandal hasn't produced any courtroom theatrics, but that possibility exists now. A Sept. 24 trial date has been set for embattled track coach Trevor Graham in U.S. District Court in San Francisco.
Graham, one-time mentor of Olympic sprint champions Marion Jones, Tim Montgomery and Justin Gatlin, was indicted last November on charges of lying to federal agents when he told them he had never provided his athletes with performance-enhancing drugs.
Five other BALCO defendants reached plea agreements before their cases went to trial. If Graham fails to cut a similar deal, the potential exists for a blockbuster trial that could include testimony from many of his former athletes.
"We're headed for trial," said Gail Shifman, Graham's San Francisco-based attorney. "There is really nothing else to say."
Graham didn't respond to telephone messages left for him Friday.
Graham has admitted anonymously sending the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency a syringe that contained traces of a previously undetectable steroid, THG, known as "the clear," which was later tied to BALCO. Critics claim Graham turned in the sample because he was unhappy that his sprinters were losing to those with access to THG.
Sources familiar with the BALCO case suggest prosecutors might be attempting to gain Graham's cooperation in making a possible perjury case against Jones, the darling of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Jones, who testified before the BALCO grand jury, has steadfastly denied accusations of cheating and was cleared last year of a potential doping charge. She reportedly tested positive, but a backup sample turned up negative for steroids.
A person close to C.J. Hunter, ex-husband of Jones, confirmed to ESPN.com that Hunter testified before the San Francisco grand jury to having injected Jones with performance-enhancing drugs. BALCO founder Victor Conte also claims to have provided Jones with performance-enhancing drugs in 2000 and 2001.
Graham's most recent protege, Gatlin, the 100-meter world record co-holder, tested positive for an artificial testosterone last April. Montgomery, the former record holder in the 100 meters who fathered a child with Jones, was banned from the sport for doping based on evidence gathered during the BALCO case.
In an unrelated criminal case, Montgomery and Steve Riddick, Jones' coach, are among 14 defendants scheduled to go on trial Monday in New York on charges connected to a multimillion-dollar bank fraud and money laundering scheme. Montgomery is accused of depositing three bogus checks worth a total of $775,000 and, according to prosecutors, picking up $20,000 for his role in the scheme. Riddick is accused of making deposits worth at least $905,000.
"I feel like I haven't done anything, so I feel confident about it,'' Riddick told ESPN.com. "It'll probably run a couple weeks. Then, I'll be glad when it's over so I can get back to track and field business."
Riddick said prosecutors have not asked him about Jones, saying it is more likely that authorities in the BALCO drug case would be trying to work through Graham if they are attempting to implicate her.
"I would suspect at least they'd try to get him to say something about her," Riddick said.
In the indictment against Graham, the government accused him of lying to Internal Revenue Service agents in 2004 when he claimed he'd never arranged for any athletes to receive performance-enhancers from a source reported to be Angel Guillermo Heredia, a former shot-putter from Laredo, Texas, known as "Memo." The New York Times previously reported that Heredia told the grand jury he provided steroids, human growth hormone and other performance-enhancing drugs to Graham and his athletes between 1996 and 2000.
Graham has denied that claim. In early August last year, his attorney said the coach had passed a polygraph test related to Heredia's allegations. At that time, Graham told ESPN.com that his only contact with Heredia had been in 1998.
In a lengthy interview in August with ESPN.com, Graham portrayed himself as a victim rather than a suspect, and suggested his woes had to do with revenge linked to his role with THG. Until he turned over the syringe, the designer steroid had been undetectable.
"I think everyone felt as if I brought a disgrace to the sport by actually turning in the syringe," he said then. "I think they're all pissed off. So I am at the point right now that I'm constantly fighting to prove that my athletes are clean."

Heat Streak at 20 After Victory Over 76ers
Published: Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 4:33 a.m.
PHILADELPHIA | LeBron James scored 27 points and the Miami Heat became the fourth team to win at least 20 consecutive games in a season, rallying to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 98-94 on Wednesday night.
Dwyane Wade added 21 as the Heat needed big baskets over the final 2 minutes to top the Sixers for the milestone win.
Only three teams have won at least 20 consecutive games in the same season: the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers (33), the 2007-08 Houston Rockets (22) and the 1970-71 Milwaukee Bucks (20). The Washington Capitols also won 20 straight, spanning the end of the 1947-48 season and the start of the 1948-49 campaign.
Thaddeus Young had 24 points and 15 rebounds for the Sixers.
James and the Heat have started to acknowledge just how special this winning streak is in a season that has them running away with the Eastern Conference.
They opened a five-game road trip as 8½-point favorites over the slumping Sixers, a team they've defeated three times during the streak. They beat Atlanta on Tuesday for streak win No. 19, then made the flight to Philadelphia that put them in just before dawn.
"You get sleep when you can and do your job," center Chris Bosh said before the game.
Maybe fatigue played a bit of a role in Miami's inability to truly put away the Sixers. Led by Young, the Sixers opened the third quarter on a 16-8 run that helped slice the lead to four. Miami led 71-66 at the end of the quarter.
The Sixers hung around in the fourth, too. Dorell Wright hit a 3-pointer to make it a six-point game and he followed with a steal and fast-break dunk to cut it 82-78. Sixers fans coming to see a slice of history were suddenly rooting for history denied. Philadelphia's fans started going wild to the "make some noise" sign on the video board and started singing the catchy anthem, "1-2-3-4-5-Sixers!"
Jrue Holiday brought them back with a 3-pointer for an 83-82 lead with 5:26 left and had fans chanting, "Beat the Heat!"
Ray Allen silenced them with a big 3 in front of the Sixers' bench for an 89-86 lead.

Use of nitroglycerin for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction

After a decade of warnings against the use of nitrates in acute myocardial infarction (MI), they are becoming recognized for their potential to salvage left ventricular (LV) myocardium, geometry and function. Low-dose intravenous (IV) nitroglycerin (NTG) infusion for the first 48 h after acute MI, titrated to lower mean blood pressure by 10% to 30%, but not below 80 mmHg, has been shown to be safe, to improve hemodynamics, and to decrease infarct size, infarct expansion, complications, and deaths in a prospective, randomized, single-blind study of 310 patients. In addition, low-dose NTG infusion for the first 48 h, followed by prolonged buccal NTG given during healing after acute MI in an eccentric dose schedule to minimize tolerance, was found to limit further progressive remodeling and preserve LV function. Meta-analysis of nitrate studies in acute MI indicate that they improve survival. Preliminary and ongoing studies suggest that prolonged NTG therapy post MI can produce further benefit.

I wonder how many of you morons can actually tell me who the original quote was first said by, and what it actually means, without looking it up.
Actually, do you even know what the quote he's mocking originally was?
I believe he is mocking the Rene Descartes statement: "I think, therefore I am."
Well done Kyru.

Streets Of Gold
by 3OH!3
- Record Label: Atlantic
- Release Date: Jun 29, 2010
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Alternative PressThe album as a whole sweeps across a broad range of stylistic tones, maintaining levity while dabbling in comparably serious musical pursuits. [Aug 200, p.146]
Following the release of its much buzzed-about 2008 breakout album, electro-rap duo 3OH!3 returns with more fast-paced, catchy digital-pop beats on its latest set, Streets of Gold.
It is a Frankenstein monster built wholly from borrowed pieces, taking the accumulated lessons of years of hip-hop assimilation, the sophomoric attitude of frat-rock and the dense, dance-friendly electro-pop of the moment and grinding them into an oppressive and convincing wall of sounds.
Shame that one-joke ideas like "House Party" get blown out of proportion, and even worse, the healthy helping of filler is obstinate, refusing to fade into the background because of over-the-top performances. 3oh!3 are nothing if not loud and shameless, so if you expect end-to-end excellence from their albums, you've got a lot to learn about cheap thrills.
Streets of Gold's beats still sound garage-sale-Casio cheap, but the album yields several doofy, affable sing-alongs and even - yeeps! - an Owl City-esque ballad.
They're probably the only band in history whose latest album would sound better if they did not appear on it.
We know 3OH!3 can be entertaining and danceable, but too many tracks seem rushed, unenthusiastic and even boring.
I mean, the guys have packed Streets of Gold with mindless, completely clustered romps through nothingness.
Over brutish synths and hammy bleats, the puerile brosefs' third album shares, among other witticisms: Gonna have a house party in my house.

This album is absolutely dreadful, the lack of intelligence in the lyrics is depressing, the music is so putrid that the sounds of a cat being raped by an elephant would be more pleasant. Their prior album was repugnant, it made them my least favorite band on the face of the earth, in the entire history of mankind. This album is so putrid that it can only be described as the byproduct of fungi growing from Satan's armpit mixing with the only toilet at a chilli cook-off. It has redefined what terrible is in every way shape and form. The themes are shockingly less mature than the prior album's, focusing on the touching of genitals and removing of panties, once again objectifying women and making the assumption that their ape ugly arses are desirable in some way. The production is so heavy that it repeats the obvious lack of talent seen in their prior album, and once again there are no real instruments present in the album, only cheap synth effects. No talent went into the making of this album, it's so low brow that it kills the brain cells of those listening and sounds so awful that capitol punishment seems like the only thing 3Oh!3 deserves as payment. Essentially this album is scraping the bottom of the idiot barrel, and you're an idiot too if you enjoy it.… Full Review »

Street of Gold's lead single, "My First Kiss", is the only standout track -- because while it is obnoxiously written and sadly produced, it is catchy and it's nice to hear Ke$ha's vocals, even for a mere second. However, the rest of Street of Gold never differs from 3OH!3's usual "talk-rap" jabber. Basically, there's never really any talent being shown. Not even the backing tracks sound all that attractive.
Street of Gold offers 3OH!3 nothing more than a few bucks from listeners who are starving for new music. But listeners who actually respect music...won't find anything but garbage.… Full Review »

A Healing Lick by TwokindsWatch
©2011-2016 Twokinds
Flora is such a gentle person... most of the time. In all likelihood, she was probably the one who inflicted those wounds, but at least she's willing to set things right. Licking a wound is a strong instinct in Keidran, who believe it aids in the healing process.

The wallpaper in the background is from stock made by [link]
It truly does seem to "help".
Trace's wounds will be healed probably days after this! Of course, after a little bit of stinging pain. Stay strong Trace
Trace's wounds will be healed probably days after this! Of course, after a little bit of stinging pain. Stay strong Trace
Maybe not healing, but definitely friendship
I wish I had a Flora to lick my wounds
Very nice tradition but from medical perceptive it is not recommended unless her defence system in her blood is more effective then human.
Hate to be the buzzkill but that tongue isn't very soothing it's like sand paper
Hi, Nora! I see you!
Oh, that's so cute!
Awww. She's doing her best to make him better and her deepest instincts are coming to the front.
How cute.
And now he's just got to worry about infection setting in.
I am pretty sure the acid in the saliva would actually help.
Would it? I'd be more concerned about germs and infection.
But as a feline, does she have a scratchy tongue?
There are chemicals in saliva that assists in clotting blood and fighting off infection. Though it doesn't speed up healing directly, it allows the body to focus more energy into the healing process. These chemicals are actually present in human saliva, and licking you own wounds will help them heal. Just make sure you have good dental hygiene and don't leave too much spit on your cuts.
I'm not kidding.
I'm not kidding.
looks really good
Awwww so cute, and sweet
Maybe this Is to heal, or... maybe Flora just likes the taste of blood. o_O
I'm pretty sure I saw someone rip off this image.
heal up
Romantic yet sexy...well done
Real Tigers have antiseptic saliva *.*
that is so cute i hope the comic continues for a long time
Aw, that's beautiful.
Aww. How Shveet
This is a true thing. Saliva has stuff that coagulates blood. This is particularly true in vampire bats, but it's true for most anything, I think.
oh great that's just what you need, a sandpaper tongue getting dragged across a big scratch. That's just what the doctor ordered
Wouldn't that be infectiou-Hey! Nora's right outside!
nope in real life if a dog or a wolf lick your wound it really aids in the healing process
This picture you've done looks incredibly nice and sweet.
I've seen this picture three times now and on;y just noticed Nora flying outside...what is she setting on fire?
*depressed sigh* i wish i had someone to lick my wounds.
notice nora flying in the sky LOL
Ah a regular day for those two when all that adventuring and drama comes to a close one day.

The Remote Authentication Dial-In User Server (RADIUS) protocol has, until now, required the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as the underlying transport layer. This document defines RADIUS over the Transmission Control Protocol (RADIUS/TCP), in order to address handling issues related to RADIUS over Transport Layer Security (RADIUS/TLS). It permits TCP to be used as a transport protocol for RADIUS only when a transport layer such as TLS or IPsec provides confidentiality and security. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.

Hope someone can point me to what I've done wrong here - haven't found an answer anywhere so far!
I'm in the process of building my site: http://www.annareith.co.uk and have been working in Opera.
Using the Sliding Door theme, and very happy with the way everything looks in IE, Opera, Safari and Chrome, but in Firefox the sliding door image menu is way over to the right of the page, almost beyond the wrapper.
I have changed some of the css to allow for eight instead of seven images, and altered values for the wrapper width etc., but as far as I can see everything adds up as it should, and altering the widths again to see if I could get the menu back to where it should be hasn't made any difference. I'm stumped.
Would be really grateful for any suggestions. I'm new to this, so I've probably down something stupid... learning what that is would be good!

NCTM Principles and Standards for School Mathematics
- "...students can use and further develop their emerging understanding of proportionality in various aspects of their study of data and statistics." (249)
- "Middle-grades students should formulate questions and design experiments or surveys to collect relevant data so that they can compare characteristics within a population or between populations." (249)
- "Students [should] plan experiments in which they collect data..." (249)
- "...mathematics teachers may find it useful to collaborate with science teachers [to] collect the data for an experiment in science class and analyze it in mathematics class." (249)
- "...students should learn to find relevant data in other resources, such as Web sites or print publications." (249)
- "When using data from other sources, students need to determine which data are appropriate for their needs, understand how the data were gathered, and consider limitations that could affect interpretation." (249)
- "Middle-grades students should learn to use absolute- and relative-frequency bar graphs and histograms to represent the data they collect and to decide which form of representation is appropriate for different purposes." (249)
- "Students need to understand that the mean "evens out" or "balances" a set of data and that the median identifies the "middle" of a data set. They should compare the utility of the mean and the median as measures of center for different data sets." (251)
- "...the teacher has an important role in providing experiences that help students construct a solid understanding of the mean and its relation to other measures of center. " (251)
- "Students also need to think about measures of center in relation to the spread of distribution. In general, the crucial question is, How do changes in data values affect the mean and median of a set of data?" (251)
- "[S]tudents [need to] understand the different sensitivities of the mean and the median; for example the mean is very sensitive to the addition or deletion of one or two extreme data points, whereas the median is far less sensitive to such changes." (251)
- "Students should consider how well different graphs represent important characteristics of data sets." (251)
- "In collecting and representing data, students should be driven by a desire to answer questions on the basis of the data." (251)
- "Teachers should encourage students to plot many data sets and look for relationships in the plots; computer graphing software and graphing calculators can be very helpful in this work." (253)

Police seek man in assault caseNovember 21,2013BENNINGTON A $5,000 warrant has been issued for the arrest of a local man who got into a fight with a police officer Tuesday and then failed to appear in court Wednesday.
Alvin Aiken Jr., 34, of Bennington, was due in Bennington district court Wednesday to be arraigned on misdemeanor charges of violation of an abuse prevention order, violation of conditions of release, resisting arrest and assault on a law enforcement officer.
After he failed to appear, Bennington County Deputy States Attorney Jennifer Barrett asked for an arrest warrant for $5,000 which was granted by Judge Nancy Corsones. Barrett said police had been looking for Aiken.
Not only are we concerned right now that hes going to harm himself or someone else, we believe that hes a flight risk and weve been trying to track him down since this morning, Barrett said.
In an affidavit, Cpl. Andy Hunt of the Bennington Police Department said police had been called around 6:40 p.m. Tuesday by a woman who has an abuse prevention order against Aiken. The woman said Aiken was outside the door of her Bennington home.
Hunt said when he got to the home, he found Aiken bleeding from what Hunt believed were self-inflicted wounds caused by a straight razor that Aiken was holding. Hunt said he ordered Aiken to drop the razor but Aiken refused and told Hunt, Youre going to have to shoot me.
Because of the presence of the razor, Hunt said he struck Aiken and performed a takedown maneuver. Hunt said Aiken continued to resist and he needed the help of other police officers to take Aiken into custody.
Aiken was taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries, Hunt said.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Main-Class: mygroupid.Main
Bundle-Name: Common tools
Bundle-SymbolicName: common-tools
Bundle-Version: 1.0.1.qualifier
Export-Package: mygroupid,
Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: JavaSE-1.6
Import-Package: org.osgi.framework;version="1.3.0"
Require-Bundle: com.jcraft.jsch;bundle-version="0.1.46"
I build my RCP application with Tycho and it works. But when I run the bundle as pure JAR with
java -jar myjar.jar, I get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/jcraft/jsch/JSchException
If I export my bundle with Eclipse, it works. So I have an error in my tycho configuration...
How to solve this problem ? Is there a jar-with-dependencies for Tycho ? It seems not to be the case What I have missed ?
(My configuration: Eclipse Juno with m2e, Tycho 0.16.0, p2: Juno, Tycho: packaging>eclipse-plugin, target-platform-configuration : resolver=p2 and pomDependencies=consider.)

Maxwell Aiken
Maxwell John Aiken
September 27, 1925 - May 12, 2013
SALEM - Maxwell John Aiken, age 87, died on May 12, 2013 at his home in Salem, Oregon. He suffered from several age-related diseases.
Max was born on September 27, 1925 in Fremont, Michigan. His parents were Lawrence and Gertrude (Inman) Aiken. The family included two sisters, Uleala and Lois.
He was educated in Fremont schools and received a B.S. degree in Forestry from the
University of Michigan
in June 1948. Other degrees and diplomas earned were Masters of Divinity from the American Baptist Seminary of the West, the Council for Clinical Training and a M.S. degree in Education from Oregon College of Education.
Max served in the U.S. Army from September 1945 to November 1946. He also served in National Guard units in California and Oregon. In December 1964, he helped evacuate Salem Hospital and parts of Keizer during the flood. Max and Evelyn and their growing family lived in Westfir and Springfield, Oregon; western Montana; and Berkeley and Yreka, California before settling in Salem. His employment included a summer of smoke jumping, the timber industry and serving as a pastor. He ended his working years as a counselor for Marion County Juvenile Court and Mid-Willamette Jobs Council.
In his active years, he was an enthusiastic member of Capital City Exchange Club and Masonic Lodge Pacific 50. His memberships reflected his concern for God's creation and included the Nature Conservancy, National Resource Defense Council, the Audubon Society and National Wildlife Federation. Heifer Project was another interest. He was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ and a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church.
Max's many interests included Volksmarching, birding, bee-keeping, and cross country skiing. He loved to travel and visited many parts of the U.S., as well as Germany, India and the U.K. He always tried to communicate in their languages which was sometimes hilarious. His sense of humor was unique. He read widely and enjoyed theology, science fiction and natural history.
He is survived by his wife Evelyn, two sons David (Kay), Jonathan (Sharon), two daughters Maxanne Landolt, Jennifer (Wayne) Mathews. There are five grandsons: Andrew (Sarah) Landolt, Derek Aiken, Benjamin (Tiffany), Nicholas and Caleb Mathews. A special joy was added to his family with the births of three great-granddaughters- Ruby and Sofia Landolt and Lexie Mathews.
The family thanks the good and kind services of the Salem medical community for their expertise and devotion.
A memorial service will be held Friday, May 24 at 2 p.m. at Westminster Presbyterian Church.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Marion-Polk Food Share or Westminster Presbyterian Church Building Fund.
Private inurnment will be at Willamette National Cemetery.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
There are a lot of restaurant options for students when they do not want to eat on campus. The only downside is that much of Bloomington-Normal is full of chain restaurants, from Chili's to T.G.I. Friday's to Hooters. Most of these restaurants can be found on Veterans Parkway, the main highway that links Bloomington and Normal. Getting to Veterans Parkway will require a bus trip or cab ride for students living on campus without a car, but many think it's worth it, especially after eating only dorm food for months. Even though there are mostly chains, some restaurants are individually owned and run by Bloomington-Normal residents. These restaurants can be found in Downtown Bloomington or Uptown Normal. There are a few restaurants in Uptown Normal that are within walking distance from campus, and generally, more students are seen walking around when the weather is nice out.
Some restaurants offer discounted dining with a valid student ID. Always be sure to ask if a restaurant has any other specials, such as half-price appetizers after a certain hour. There are various grocery stores around the Bloomington-Normal area that should fit students' needs. Grocery shopping is the best option for students who want to save a little money and eat healthier. Unfortunately, there is not a grocery store close to campus, so students without a car will need to use public transportation to carry their groceries.

So yesterday I was mooching around the fruit and veg stands at my local Tesco, thinking what to buy without kitniot, and suddenly being inspired by the idea of rhubarb.
And three separate assistants did not know what rhubarb was. One stood aimlessly, peering vacantly at the lettuce, before admitting he didn't know what I was asking for. Another kept grinning foolishly and saying, "It's my first day," although my strong feeling was that he could have been there all year and still wouldn't have known.
Someone out there, please tell me. How dumb do you have to be to be working in the fruit and veg section of a supermarket and not be able to identify rhubarb?

Extreme Speeds and Thermodynamic States in Supersonic Flight
Date: April 1, 1958
Creator: Oswatitsch, Klaus
Description: The increasing importance of high-speed flow leads to similar problems in various fields of research which are summarized in what follows. Typical of all cases is the conversion of high kinetic energy into extreme thermodynamic states with temperatures of several thousand degrees, frequently connected with dissociation and ionization of the gas involved. There is also a characteristic small sensitivity to the processes discussed in the case of gases of low molecular weight (light gases). The penetration of meteors into the atmosphere of the earth at astronomical speeds results in temperatures higher than those of the surface of the sun. Such temperatures may be produced in shock tubes, with light gases used as the driving gas. For supersonic fighters the problem of propulsion is less difficult to solve than the problem of large heating, on the surface and in the combustion chamber. Finally, for the space-travel rocket, astronomical speeds have to be reached which require the lightest possible gases as propellants. Here again, dissociation processes in the combustion chamber are of considerable importance.

Free Convection Under the Conditions of the Internal Problem
Date: April 1, 1958
Creator: Ostroumov, G. A.
Description: Convection is called free is the stresses (including the normal pressure) to which the fluid is subjected at its boundaries do not perform mechanical work, that is, if all the boundaries of the fluid are stationary. The case where this is not true is termed forced convection. It corresponds to the action on the fluid of some mechanical suction pumping the fluid.

Stability of Cylindrical and Conical Shells of Circular Cross Section, with Simultaneous Action of Axial Compression and External Normal Pressure
Date: April 1, 1958
Creator: Mushtari, K. M. & Sachenkov, A. V.
Description: We consider in this report the determination of the upper limit of critical loads in the case of simultaneous action of a compressive force, uniformly distributed over plane cross sections, and of isotropic external normal pressure on cylindrical or conical shells of circular cross section. As a starting point we use the differential equations for neutral equilibrium of conical shells which have been used for the solution of the problem of stability of conical shells under torsion and under axial compression; upon solution of the problem it is possible to satisfy all boundary conditions, in contrast to the report where no attention is paid to the fulfillment of the boundary conditions, and to the report where only part of the boundary conditions are satisfied by solution of the problem according to Galerkin's method. Approximate formulas are used for the determination of the critical external normal pressure with simultaneous action of longituninal compression. Let us note that the formulas suggested in reference 5 are not well founded and may lead, in a number of cases, to a substantial mistake in the magnitude of the critical load.

The Interaction of a Reflected Shock Wave with the Boundary Layer in a Shock Tube
Date: March 1, 1958
Creator: Mark, Herman
Description: Ideally, the reflection of a shock from the closed end of a shock tube provides, for laboratory study, a quantity of stationary gas at extremely high temperature. Because of the action of viscosity, however, the flow in the real case is not one-dimensional, and a boundary layer grows in the fluid following the initial shock wave. In this paper simplifying assumptions are made to allow an analysis of the interaction of the shock reflected from the closed end with the boundary layer of the initial shock afterflow. The analysis predicts that interactions of several different types will exist in different ranges of initial shock Mach number. It is shown that the cooling effect of the wall on the afterflow boundary layer accounts for the change in interaction type. An experiment is carried out which verifies the existence of the several interaction regions and shows that they are satisfactorily predicted by the theory. Along with these results, sufficient information is obtained from the experiments to make possible a model for the interaction in the most complicated case. This model is further verified by measurements made during the experiment. The case of interaction with a turbulent boundary layer is also considered. Identifying ...

Investigation of Aperiodic Time Processes with Autocorrelation and Fourier Analysis
Date: March 1, 1958
Creator: Exner, Marie Luise
Description: Autocorrelation and frequency analyses of a series of aperiodic time events, in particular, filtered noises and sibilant sounds, were made. The position and band width of the frequency ranges are best obtained from the frequency analysis, but the energies contained in the several bands are most easily obtained from the autocorrelation function. The mean number of zero crossings of the time function was determined from the curvature of the latter function in the vicinity of the zero crossing, and also with the aid of a decimal counter. The second method was found to be more exact.

Evaporation, Heat Transfer, and Velocity Distribution in Two-Dimensional and Rotationally Symmetrical Laminar Boundary-Layer Flow
Date: February 1, 1958
Creator: Froessling, Nils
Description: The fundamental boundary layer equations for the flow, temperature and concentration fields are presented. Two dimensional symmetrical and unsymmetrical and rotationally symmetrical steady boundary layer flows are treated as well as the transfer boundary layer. Approximation methods for the calculation of the transfer layer are discussed and a brief survey of an investigation into the validity of the law that the Nusselt number is proportional to the cube root of the Prandtl number is presented.

Impact on a Compressible Fluid
Date: February 1, 1958
Creator: Egorov, L. T.
Description: Upon impact of a solid body on the plane surface of a fluid, there occurs on the vetted surface of the body an abrupt pressure rise which propagates into both media with the speed of sound. Below, we assume the case where the speed of propagation of sound in the body which falls on the surface of the fluid may be regarded as infinitely large in comparison with the speed of propagation of sound in the fluid; that is, we shall assume that the falling body is absolutely rigid. IN this case, the entire relative speed of the motion which takes place at the beginning of the impact is absorbed by the fluid. The hydrodynamic pressures arising thereby are propagated from the contact surface within the fluid with the speed of sound in the form of compression and expansion waves and are gradually damped. After this, they are dispersed like impact pressures, reach ever larger regions of the fluid remote fran the body and became equal to zero; in the fluid there remain hydrodynamic pressures corresponding to the motion of the body after the impact. Neglecting the forces of viscosity and taking into account, furthermore, that the motion of the ...

On the statistical theory of turbulence
Date: January 1, 1958
Creator: Heisenberg, W
Description: A study is made of the spectrum of isotropic turbulence with the aid of the customary method of Fourier analysis. The spectrum of the turbulent motion is derived to the smallest wave lengths, that is, into the laminar region, and correlation functions and pressure fluctuations are calculated. A comparison with experimental results is included. Finally, an attempt is made to derive the numerical value of a constant characteristic of the energy dissipation in isotropic turbulence.

Theory and experiments on supersonic air-to-air ejectors.
Date: January 1, 1958
Creator: Fabri, J & Paulon, J
Description: A comparison of experiment with theory is made for air ejectors having cylindrical mixing sections and operating under conditions of supersonic primary flow and either mixed or supersonic regimes of mixing. The effect on ejector performance of such parameters as mixer length and cross section, terminating diffuser, primary Mach number, and primary nozzle position is presented in terms of mass flow and pressure ratio.
