Alfred Ibberson
Click on the tabs below to read more.
Alfred Ibberson was born at 11 Leadmill Rd, Sheffield on 1 August 1840. Viscount Melbourne was Prime Minister, and the young Queen Victoria was in the early years of her reign. The 'Penny Post' had begun only months earlier.
Alfred's parent's were Samuel Ibberson and Mary Watson. Mary had married the widowed Samuel three years before and the couple already had a son, Allen. Samuel had earlier married Sarah Gamble in 1827 and they had two sons; William and Walter, before Sarah died in 1836. Samuel and Mary went on to have five more children; Sarah, Selina, Thomas, Arthur and Susan. The family are detailed in the family tree pages here.
We have no specific record of Alfred's childhood beyond census returns, and he first appears in written records when he joined the army in the recruiting campaign which followed the Indian Mutiny.
Alfred was recruited into the 4th Light Dragoons by a Corporal Robert Smith on 16 October 1857, in Sheffield.
The regiment had distinguished itself during the Crimean War by taking part in the famous, though ill judged, charge of the light brigade on 25 October 1854.
Sergeants 4th Light DragoonsAlfred was initially medically examined in Sheffield on his attestation, and later re-examined in York on 21 October 1857. Final medical approval was accorded in Aldershot where he was entered into the regimental register, with the number 33, on 12 November.
On their return from the Crimea, the regiment spent a year at Brighton and then moved to Aldershot in 1857, where they were quartered in a camp of newly built wooden huts.
It was here that Alfred joined the regiment. He appears to have been in Aldershot during most of the following year. The regiment moved to Birmingham during the summer of 1858, involving a march of seven days. Later they moved to Coventry and then to Nottingham. This time without Alfred. His service record shows that on 8 February 1859, he went absent without leave and remained AWOL for one week. This resulted in a month's imprisonment from 16 February.
Alfred rejoined the Regiment on 18 March 1859. In July of that year the 4th Dragoons moved to Manchester and a year later, in the summer of 1860, went to Dublin. A few days before the transfer to Dublin, Alfred deserted and was AWOL from 22 June 1860 until he was recaptured on 9 June 1861. He was tried by Court Martial and imprisoned for a second term. He was held in England from 10 to 18 June, and then confined in Dublin until 30 September, when he was allowed to rejoin the ranks.
On rejoining his unit in Dublin on 1 October 1861, Alfred forfeited the 2 years and 208 days he had served to date and was obliged to re-start his engagement in full. During the period October 1861 to May 1867, Alfred was placed in cells no less than nine times for periods ranging from two days to a week.
Cahir Military BarracksThe five years the Regiment spent in Ireland were uneventful. Each summer they moved from Dublin to Cahir, then to Newbridge and so back to Dublin, and for the last year, to Dundalk. It was whilst in Cahir in 1862 that Alfred reported sick with a bout of diarrhea lasting four days. The army attributed this to "irregular living."
During his service in Ireland, Alfred met his first wife, Elizabeth Short. They were married in the parish church of St James, Dublin on 2 June 1864. The marriage was entered in the Army register Book and certified correct by the Adjutant, Captain R Duncan.
From Ireland the Regiment went to Scotland, where it was stationed in Edinburgh from 1865 to 1867. It was here that the Regiment was inspected by the new Inspector-General, Major General Lord George Paget. Lord Paget had been in command of the 4th Dragoons as Lt. Colonel during the charge of the light brigade in 1854.
Lord George PagetIt is not surprising, therefore, that "His Lordship was pleased to express his entire approval of all he saw in barracks and in the field." In 1874 Lord Paget became Colonel of the Regiment.
Piershill is a small urban district of East Edinburgh and lies immediately to the East of Jock's Lodge and a mile West of Portobello. The barracks, built in 1793 and demolished in 1934, lay to the west of the district at the junction of Portobello Road and Restalig Road South.
Alfred and Elizabeth had a daughter, Catherine, who was born on 30 April 1866 whilst the Regiment was in Edinburgh. Her birth is recorded in the Army Births and Baptisms Register as taking place in Piershill Cavalry Barracks.
On 15 October 1867, the Regiment embarked on the troopship Serapis, bound for India. The strength was 27 officers, 450 other ranks, 55 women and 71 children (including Alfred, his wife Elizabeth and daughter Catherine)
Troop Ship SerapisThey landed in Bombay in November after a voyage of six weeks via the Cape of Good Hope. (The Suez Canal had not yet been built) The Regiment went by train the eighty miles to Deolati, where it spent five weeks taking over the native servants, followers and horses from the 7th Dragoon Guards.
In the first week of January 1868, the Regiment departed on a two month march of 700 miles to Meerut, near Delhi. The march was completed with only two casualties, both due to fever. It was said by the men that you were not a pukka soldier until you had served in India, eaten rump steaks for breakfast, been shaved in bed and had experienced a two month march. By now Alfred must have been a pukka soldier!
It was while Alfred was stationed at Meerut that he re-engaged on 8 June 1868. His service conduct also began to improve..
The Regiment's eleven year deployment to India passed serenely. The first five years were spent at Meerut and the following six in Rawal Pindi. It took no part in operations on the frontier or in police duties during civil disturbances. Perhaps the most notable events were the Viceroy's Durbar at Amballa in 1869, and in 1875 when a squadron went to Lahore to provide a royal escort for the Prince of Wales. In Dehli on 1 January 1877, Queen Victoria was proclaimed Empress of India. A detachment was provided for the ceremonial parades, and a trumpeter of the Regiment acted as one of the heralds.
Alfred's medical records show him as being in Meerut in 1868 where he remained until November 1872 when the Regiment moved to Rawal Pindi.
Meerut BarracksUnfortunately we cannot be sure if he took part in the Durbar, or the royal escort. We do know he embarked on a ship for his return to England on 27 February 1877, so it is likely he had left Rawal Pindi before the proclamation of the Queen as Empress of India.
During his service in India, Alfred seems to have reformed somewhat for, on 14th May 1869 he was awarded one penny good conduct pay which he managed to maintain until 20 November that year. The good conduct pay was restored on 20 March 1870 and held for two years until May 1872, when it was again forfeited. There followed a week in the cells from 20-26 May. The one penny good conduct pay was restored on 27 May 1874 and increased to two pence two years later. In August of that year it was reduced back to one penny, indicating Alfred had blotted his copy book in a minor way.
Rawalpindi Cavalry BarracksThe married roll of the 4th Hussars, dated Rawalpindi 1 July 1876 shows Alfred as serving in D Troop and being married to Elizabeth, with a daughter, Catherine. The same entry gives the date of Catherine's birth as 30 April 1866. That is two years after the marriage in Dublin, and whilst the Regiment was stationed in Edinburgh. It could be that mother and child were not placed on the marriage roll until they joined Alfred in Rawal Pindi in June 1874. Where they were in the interim is not certain, but probably still in Meerut.
Alfred's son, Allen had been convinced that Elizabeth was the Ward of one of the officers of the Regiment and that she was married to Alfred in India. Later research revealed the true details of the marriage in Dublin.
Alfred's son, Allen believed that the family split up shortly after their return to England, and that Elizabeth and Catherine went to live at Strood, near Rochester, Kent. Where Elizabeth worked as a prison warder. Eventually committing suicide by shooting herself.
However, the 1881 census shows Alfred and Elizabeth living at 115 Porter St, Sheffield and Alfred working as a hair dresser. There is no mention of Catherine at this time.
1881 CensusElizabeth did go to Rochester some time after the 1881 census, not to work as a prison warder. But to become the common law wife of James Pickett. It can be no coincidence that James had been a sergeant in the 4th Hussars. In 1881 he is a serving soldier in Aldershot with a wife and family. By 1891 he is living at 13 Millivey Terrace, Bonstead, Rochester with Elizabeth and Catherine.
It is reputed that after his army service, Alfred returned to Sheffield and knocked on the door of his father's house. An upstairs window was opened and a voice called out. "Who is that?" When he replied "Alfred", the riposte was, "It can't be, he's dead."
Eventually, Alfred was able to persuade the family that he was still alive, and presumably he stayed in the family home for a while. During his time in Sheffield he worked as a grinder in a cutlery mill, which was driven by water power. He also honed the blades for cut throat razors, on a contract basis, at home. A lot of the blades were for razors for the army. Allen's comment on these razors was. "They were alright for chopping wood, but not much good for shaving with." The blades were not hollow ground but were more of a wedge shape. What Alfred did was to finish them by honing them on a little oil stone. This was known as 'setting' the blades. They had already been forged and ground. Once honed, the blades went back to the manufacturer to be fitted with handles. Alfred was paid by the gross. In effect he was working as a 'Little Mester'.
It is difficult to follow Alfred's movements between 1881 and 1889. At some point during this period, he went to Manchester and was employed by his brother, Allen, and was taught the saw making business. Allen, Alfred's son, believed he later returned to Sheffield where he borrowed money from a loan shark and was unable to repay the debt. Allen also believed this was the reason for Alfred's move to Chesterfield.
In 1889 Alfred was living in Brampton, Chesterfield, and on 21 March 1889, married for the second time. The wedding was celebrated at St Thomas' Church, Brampton. (I have been unable to find evidence of a divorce from Elizabeth) The bride was Sarah Ann Jenkinson, aged eighteen and a spinster. The groom gave his age as 45 (he was in fact 49) He gave his occupation as hairdresser and that of his father, Samuel Ibberson, as clerk. The witnesses were Ebenezer Proud and Charlotte Sims. Charlotte was Sarah's mother who had now married. She was unable to read or write, so made her mark.
Sarah Ann JenkinsonThe 1891 census shows Alfred living on Chatsworth Rd, Chesterfield, with his wife Sarah and daughter Jane. Their ages are given as 49, 20 and 9 (the record of baptisms for St Thomas' Church gives Jane's date of birth as 12 July 1890, so the census should read 9 months) Alfred's occupation is recorded as 'self employed'.
Alfred's son, Allen remembered being told that his father had a barbers shop on Chatsworth Rd. The address was; 1 Stone Row, which was somewhere near the junction with Barker Lane. "The shop front was on the right hand side of Chatsworth Rd and at the side of it was a passageway, leading back twenty yards or so, and Stone Row was up that Yard. The Row belonged to old Harry Mason, who worked at Plowright's. The entrance to the shop has since been blocked up and it is all one wall now."
1891 CensusAlfred had an inventive mind, and whilst living on Chatsworth Rd, he experimented with building an incubator. On one occasion he filled the drawer with eggs and waited expectantly for them to hatch. Unfortunately on removing the drawer to inspect the eggs, he dropped it and broke the lot. No doubt the crash was accompanied by some choice Drill Sergeant's epithets.
Apparently whilst running his business on Chatsworth Rd, Alfred also spent several days each week cutting hair in Brimington. Later the family went to live there when the Chatsworth Rd shop lost custom to a higher class establishment that opened three doors away. Whilst living at Brimington, Sarah used to walk to Chesterfield, to the market.
Sarah told Allen that she used to carry a loaded revolver in her muff on these trips.
It is probably while living in Brimington that Alfred started a business sharpening saws, knives, scissors and other edge tools. For over thirty years he stood the Saturday market in Chesterfield, having a pitch at the North East corner, near the former site of Boots the Chemist. Initially he stood this pitch with a portable grinding kit, but later he was to have a stall a little further into the body of the market and a workshop near his home. On weekdays he worked as an itinerant scissors grinder and went on a regular basis to several places around the town, and to Hasland, Brampton etc. His cry of "Any knives or scissors to sharpen," was well known in the areas he visited.
His portable grinding kit was somewhat like a tall wheelbarrow with a single large wheel. This wheel served not only as transport, but could also be driven by a treadle mechanism and was connected to the grinding shaft by a belt. On the shaft was a natural stone grinding wheel and a glazing wheel. The glazing wheel was a wooden disk with a leather covered rim. The leather had fish glue applied and was then rolled in an abrasive powder before the glue dried. The disk was used for polishing out the marks left by the grinding wheel. Attached to the superstructure of his portable kit were a saw setting block and a vice to grip the saw blades whilst they were being sharpened with a three square file. There were also hooks from which to hang the scissor blades both before and after sharpening, and a toolbox for hammers, punches and files.
Sarah Ann was born at the Poor Law Institute on Newbold Rd. By the time she married, her mother was living on Walton Back Lane, on the left hand side, close to Walton Church when heading in the direction of Holymoorside. By this time her mother had married and Sarah had a younger step brother, Jack Simms. Jack later lived at 2 Lenthall's Back Row off Barker Lane, somewhere near the Old Hall Rd end.
Chesterfield Poor Law InstituteShortly after Sarah's death from tuberculosis in 1912, the family were evicted from 1 Dixon's Rd and moved to Apperknowle Rd, Unstone. Within a year the family moved again, this time to Albert St, Stonegravels. Later moves took them to St Mary's Gate and finally to 22a Soresby St, where Alfred was living when he died.
Alfred was not a big man. His height was 5ft 7ins and he never weighed more than 10st 7lbs. Despite his small stature, he kept himself fit and must have had some sort of reputation as an athlete for, around 1900 he was involved in walking from Sheffield to Chesterfield to satisfy a wager. The following article was published in the Derbyshire Times on Friday 8 March 1946, on the occasion of the death, at the age of 88, of Joseph Green, a well known publican and sportsman:
Walk for a Wager
Many are the stories which Mr Green used to tell of sporting life in old Chesterfield.
One concerned an Alfred Ibberson, a knife and scissors grinder, who for forty years on Saturdays and Fair days stood in the market place. Ibberson had been in the Lancers for 20 years, but was an accomplished walker. One day at 'The Peacock' on Low Pavement, the licensee, Sandy Bowler, offered a bet of £25 that he could find a man over the age of forty who could walk from Sheffield Town Hall to Chesterfield Market Hall in two hours. Knowing that Ibberson was the man referred to, Mr Green supported Bowler in the betting, which aroused considerable interest in the town.
Ibberson did the walk and, with a final spurt, completed the course with only three seconds to spare. He was given £10 and bought a new suit. The rest of the winnings went on champagne. Ibberson died a short time ago.
There were some aspects of Alfred's life about which Allen was very reticent. Indeed there were some things he never disclosed to his family until after he was in his nineties. Why he was so guarded is difficult to conceive, perhaps because the values of today are so different from those of earlier times.
Unbelievable as it may seem, the family were not aware that on 6 January 1923, Alfred was married for the third time. His new bride was Eliza Annetts. She eventually survived Alfred and continued to live in the town, possibly in Hasland. Allen eventually disclosed the third marriage when asked who had attended Alfred's funeral. He replied, "well there was me, Maude and Mrs Ibberson." When pressed about a Mrs Ibberson he had to admit that Alfred had married again. Apparently there had been a report of the marriage in the Derbyshire Times, and it seems this marriage caused something of a stir locally.
82 and 22: Remarkable Marriage at Chesterfield
There was an extraordinary disparity in the ages of a couple who were married at the Chesterfield Union Register Office on Saturday.
Alfred Ibberson, widower, 22a Soresby St, Chesterfield, who is 82 years of age, was the bridegroom and his bride was Eliza Annetts, spinster, 4 Wilcockson's Yard, Chesterfield, who is 22 years old. Ibberson who follows the occupation of scissors grinder, is a native of Sheffield but has lived the greater part of his life in Chesterfield where he was a familiar figure in the streets with his scissors grinding outfit. He carries his age well, and has been in receipt of the old age pension since December 1911.
His first wife was his junior by 31 years.
Several years ago the bride went through a form of marriage with a man who was afterwards convicted of bigamy.
When a Poor Law official heard that the parties had given notice of their intending marriage, he informed the Registrar that he thought the case was one which came under the prohibitive clause of the marriage laws, as the parties were related. An investigation was made, but it was found that there was no relationship between the parties, although the bride's step mother, who had recently married again, is a relative of Ibberson's.
The reason the Poor Law official thought the marriage would be illegal was because Eliza Annetts' mother was Sarah Ann Jenkinson's half sister.
Alfred and Eliza had a daughter, Mary, born 24 July 1930.
Alfred was a member of the RAOB (Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes) and the family have a scroll showing Alfred and the senior members of his lodge in their regalia. This scroll was sent to his sister, Selena in 1908 and returned to Allen after Alfred's death in 1932.
Right up until his death, Alfred continued to carry on his grinding business. Allen, rather reluctantly, completed the last of the work for him when he became too ill to carry on.
The story above has been substantiated by records, but varies with the story recounted by his son Allen. Some of the discrepancies were no doubt due to failing memories, but some may have other causes. The story as told by Allen is that which Alfred himself told his children.
Gen. Sir Frederick RobertsAlfred was mounted and his cavalry unit overtook an infantry company who were engaged in the practice of pricking the blisters on their feet. The cavalry laughed and joked about this but it was not quite so funny when they had to have their own blisters pricked for, of course they were not on their feet!
One night whilst at either Kabul or Kandahar, Alfred was on sentry duty at a mountain pass. he heard a sound like pebbles dribbling down the slope. He fired without a challenge and daylight revealed the greased, naked body of a very dead native.
When caught, mutineers were subjected to summary trials followed by execution.
The men were incredibly cruel towards the natives. One member of his company used to put a rope around the necks of the natives and pull them over his shoulder, thus breaking their necks.
Conditions for the British troops in India were extremely harsh and there was very little food. The troops were starving. When on parade and before inspection, they were ordered to 'blow pumps.' This meant to puff out their cheeks to make them look fatter and better fed. As a result desertions were common and Alfred became one of these. When caught, such deserters were subjected to field punishment number one: Being tied to the wheel of a gun for several days and left out in the sun; and possibly a flogging. In addition the left side of the rib cage was tattooed with a three inch letter "D" (Alfred had such a mark) Their enlistment time then restarted and had to be served in full again.
As part of his duties Alfred accompanied the officers of the Regiment on their pig sticking forays. He said the lances they were using were not effectively penetrating the pigs. Alfred was asked if he could do anything about this. They had with them a farriers forge, and Alfred made some lances which were more effective.
Alfred claimed he served as valet to the Hon. Frederick Ellis, an officer in the Hussars. Ellis travelled widely as a military attaché and was accompanied wherever he went by Alfred. At some point he went on an expedition to the Mountains of the Moon in Ethiopia. At some point Alfred also claimed to have accompanied Francis Younghusband on some of his expeditions to the Himalayas.
Whilst returning, time served, to the UK in 1882 on the HMS Malabar, the troops were disembarked to take part in the Egyptian War.
HMS MalabarDuring this war, Egyptian prisoners were herded into a compound and the British guns were fired into the mass of humanity. (Lord Haw Haw made much of this in his propaganda broadcasts to discredit Britain in the 1940?s)
Alfred claimed to have married his first wife in India. She was, he said, the Ward of one of the officers of the Regiment. She bore him a daughter, Kitty while still in India. He separated from his wife on his return to the UK. The wife took her daughter and went to live in Strood, near Rochester where she worked as a prison warder. Later he alleged, she shot herself.
In lieu of a pension Alfred claimed he had been granted land in Australia and he had visited but found the land unsuitable and so returned to the UK. Apparently he was shipwrecked in the Red Sea on the way home. Later he said he wrote to Lord Roberts in order to regain his pension after abandoning the land in Australia. The pension was partially restored after many years and was backdated to 1882.
Alfred was my great great grandfather. His story is one of the best documented of all my ancestors.
His long career as a soldier, his eventful family life, and his colourful character give us a clear insight into his personality. It feels as though we can actually get to know him.
I would have liked to meet Alfred, and hope this short biography explains why.

The "Natural" Unemployment Rate Fell, Too
June 28, 1999
In the early 1990s, most economists put the so-called natural rate of unemployment in the U.S. at about 5.5 percent to 6 percent. If employment fell below that mark, it was said, the job market would become so tight that wages and inflation would surge. Yet the May 1999 unemployment rate was 4.2 percent, and the consumer price index rose a mere 1.6 percent in 1998.
Now economists are saying the natural unemployment rate varies from country to country and over time in the same country, due to government policies, business practices and worker attitudes. In a recent study, economists Lawrence Katz of Harvard University and Alan Krueger of Princeton University attempted to identify specific factors that may have reduced this natural unemployment rate since the late 1970s. They concluded:
- Older workers change jobs less often; thus the aging U.S. workforce has reduced the natural unemployment rate by 0.4 percentage points.
- The number of jobs filled by temporary-help agencies about quadrupled between 1980 and 1998, reducing the length of workers' unemployment and cutting the natural unemployment rate by 0.2 percentage points.
- The number of prisoners -- mostly previously unemployed men -- also quadrupled, reducing the natural unemployment rate by 0.2 percentage points.
- Thus the natural unemployment rate has fallen a full percentage point -- presumably to 4.5 percent to 5 percent.
The idea of a natural unemployment rate arose in an era when politicians clamored for low interest rates, easy money and deficit spending to produce "full employment." Those policies produced perverse results. However, hardly anyone has talked about full employment in the 1990s, while the Federal Reserve has concentrated on price stability, making it easier to expand employment without inflation -- whether natural or not.

Collar Pins
I got this from Candy Magazine September Issue on how to make a collar pin in just an easy way. Obviously it is a do it yourself so the expenses is not much. So here's how:
You can draw an egg and a bacon strip on a used film. Make the size bigger at least three times than of what you imagine for a collar pins.
Cut your drawing and put one hole at the bottom part of the bacon strip and an egg.
Put it in an oven toaster for at least 3 minutes and after 3 minutes put it out and fill it up with color. You can use a marker or an acrylic paint.
Put the bar pin, glue it at the back of each design that you draw. For you to connect each pin stronger to the opposite end with chain link, you can use pliers.

this thread is amazing, really loving this sound atm. big ups
I don't rate techno too much, but a lot of recent ones have been spot on tbh, like the Alex Coulton & Hodge and Facta releases on Tempa. I always heard this stuff described as techno infused with "UK soundsystem culture" or something similar, So I guess I'll leave it at that.
that phrase makes more sense if you describe spiral tribe than most things coming out nowadays lol
or say bandulu
yo did gramrcy show on nts yesterday, really good, bless guy good dj and nice selection, check it when it hits mixcloud
apologies if this is house these were highlights for me
shit trivia, i thought he was french for some reason.. but the dude that turned up was actually someone i've seen out clubbing baaare in bristol without knowing he was a producer/dj
he always wore a beanie and looked insanely high
Did you just check the techno thread and then posted the same track in the UK techno fusions thread
woops dont check the techno thread much soz
Well it's dead because it is not in SNH anymore. Therefore I barely even check it.Personally I don't see why certain techno tracks deserve their own thread becausethey are by UK producers. Or even because the tune has some connection totypical UK genres.
I thought it was because some of you guys don't listen to other types of techno, butthat evidently is not the case.
i struggle to distinguish between techno and house
so i dont think im very good for this discussion
if you really just mean some of us, then yeah that is the case. i dunno if that's a rationale for having two threads. if anything i think this is a better rationale
i think that, if anything, this makes the most sense, this thread being for artists/tracks that have more of a bass influence or connection than other types of techno.
So I really pinned this thread down didn't I?
Nah it's just that to me, about half the tunes posted in this thread are simply technoand the other half isn't. I do get that it's just a way of describing that broken / percussivesound though.
anyone hitting the BH fwd next week
got fucking jury duty so can't ffs
Yh I'm pumped for it. Sucks you have to miss it, you can catch Beneath at Rye Wax on the 25th though, with the Blank Mind crew
At night!?If not you should go imo. They only need you to be mildly competent while you're there.
I think they put you up at a hotel and that don't they, might actually stop you goin out
Oh shit. Didn't know that lol. Would they actually stop you though? Isn't that kind of imprisonment? I understand if they judge the fuck out of you on your way back in, but that's a minor.
just looked it up and i'm talking bullshit. Come fwd RKM and tell us all about the trial
Simo Cell tonight. Should be good, barely heard anything from the guy yet.

A recent survey shows that couples who sleep together every night live a longer and a healthier life. Shocked?
Well, it is believed that when you have someone next to you at night while you are sleeping, the nerves in the body begin to calm down, the blood pressure is regulated and the mind is at ease. For many couples, there are other benefits of sleeping together; It increases intimacy, brings about balance and harmony in the sex life.
This helps you to stay healthy as intimacy is proven to keep your immunity up and your heart rate at a normal beat; and most of all, it increases life span. On the other hand, couples prefer sleeping together as it provides a sense of security and warmth.
Experts state that sleeping next to someone other than your partner is also healthy. This is because when both the bodies are in contact with each other, the brain sends signals to the rest of the body, telling you to relax. So take a look at some of the health benefits you receive when you cuddle with your special someone while sleeping at night. Read on to see how you can enjoy those moments of sleeping together for all the healthy reasons.
It Helps You De-Stess
When you sleep with someone you love, there is a body connection. This strong connection helps ease the mind and also reduces your stress levels. Lovemaking and cuddles are nature's best way to reduce stress.
It Helps You Sleep Better
If you are suffering from sleep disorders, your partner can always cuddle with you to make you feel better. Science proved that sleeping with someone automatically helps you get rid of problems like insomnia.
It Provides You Warmth
When you sleep with someone, the bodies are bound to touch. This touch creates warmth and thus it is good for blood circulation. The warmth from another body also protects your skin and this makes your glow naturally.
The Love Hormone
Did you think that only sex can release the hormone oxytocin to help you feel happy? Even the brushing of your naked skin against your partner can help you feel 'happy' because you are high on oxytocin. Therefore, this is one of the health benefits of sleeping next to the one you love.
It's Good For The Heart
Sleeping next to someone is good for the heart too. The sense of security and warmth causes the heart to beat at a normal speed, thus causing no strain on the heart.
You Wake Up Feeling Energetic
The next morning when you wake up next to the person you love, happiness makes you feel good and energetic. This is because you have slept well right through the night.

Ukraine wins a 27-billion dollar international show of support Thursday, rushed through in the wake of Russia's annexation of Crimea. The International Monetary Fund announced a $14-18 billion standby credit for Kiev in return for tough economic reforms. That will unlock further aid from the EU, the US and other lenders over two years, effectively pulling Kiev closer to Europe. On Thursday the U.S. Congress passed bills to provide a one billion loan guarantee for Kiev. U.S. President Barack Obama offers his support at a news conference in Italy.

SAN JOSE — Ron Caragher doesn't need to devise any special methods to make his players take their opponent seriously during his first game as San Jose State coach.
Sacramento State, despite its Football Championship Subdivision classification, has built a good track record against higher division foes heading into Thursday's 7 p.m. opener at Spartan Stadium.
"We know they're a good team," Caragher said of the Hornets. "Having seen them beat some Pac-12 teams, that's instant credibility."
Sac State has garnered a reputation as a giant killer. The Hornets won at Oregon State in their 2011 opener and beat Colorado in their second game of the season last year.
"You show them the scoreboard and really don't have to say much more," Caragher said of his players.
It's still tough to figure how much to glean from those wins, particularly the Colorado victory. The Buffaloes may have been the worst team from a power conference last season.
Plus, just a week earlier, the Hornets were crushed 49-19 by New Mexico State. The Aggies never won another game the rest of the season, including a 47-7 blowout loss to SJSU, and may have been the worst team in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Sac State has clearly shown it can get up for a big game, but will a contest at Arizona State next week steal away some of the Hornets' focus?
It's unlikely considering the proximity of the schools. Strangely, despite being just a two-hour drive apart, San Jose State and Sacramento State have never met. It's easy to expect the Hornets to be eager and ready to knock off their Bay Area opponent.
Caragher knows plenty about the talent level of teams like Sac State. He coached the last six years at the University of San Diego.
"Having coached at the FCS level, I have the utmost respect for those teams," Caragher said. "They have scholarships too."
Sac State has some weapons on offense. Quarterback Garrett Safron threw for 300-plus yards in both the New Mexico State and Colorado games. He had 2,540 passing yards last year and was also the team's second-leading rusher.
"He's a terrific athlete," Caragher said. "He can run the football. He's the guy that makes thing click with their offense."
Safron's top target is Morris Norrise, a senior wide receiver from Berkeley High. He had 60 catches for 777 yards and seven touchdowns last year. Senior running back Ezekiel Graham returns after rushing for 861 yards and five scores last season.
It will be up to the Spartans to showcase their depth — and additional talent — and put this game away early. With three tough games to follow, this would be an ideal opportunity to get some playing time for some of SJSU's backups.

The Zero-Config Javascript Build Tool
The Holy Grail of JS Development
Update below (August 1st, 2016) regarding create-react-app.
Second update below (January 27th, 2017) regarding Webpack v2.
Grunt, Gulp, Browserify, Webpack, and many more. These are tools that I've come across over the years as a web developer. And to be very honest with you, I have always struggled with them.
I know that these tools are supposed to make my life easier, but every time I try to adopt one of these solutions, I have to crawl through a mountain of documentation before I can get an app running.
Maybe you can relate… or maybe I'm just a little slower than most.
Please bear with me as this will start off as a bit of a rant, but I do have a solution for you near the end.
The Problem: Config Hell
Configuration is HARD
The problem with many of these tools is that they require you to jump through many hoops before you can get your app running. And it'll take even longer if you want to actually understand what is happening.
Let's take a look at Webpack for example. First, you have to learn the "lingo" of their config files like: loaders, preloaders, modules, tests, etc.
Next, you'll have to figure out how to compose this new alien language into something that'll build the thing that you want. I understand that this is a necessary part of any kind of sophisticated tool, but it's quite a steep learning curve for someone who is completely new to it.
Boilerplates and Starter Projects
Some people might say, "why don't you just use one of the boilerplates or starter projects that are freely available off of Github?"
Sure, I could easily git clone a starter project and have a working app ready to go.
Simple right? Well… not exactly.
There are a few problems with this kind of solution.
First, while you can easily search Google for React Webpack projects, you'll quickly find yourself confronted with more than a handful of Github repos that vary in terms of how up-to-date they are, how well-maintained they are, and also what features they support. There are just way too many options in varying degrees of quality and the result is not always ideal.
Secondly, even if you get an app up and running, you still may not be able to understand what's going on inside the configuration file. This becomes a problem very quickly when you need to tweak a project to accept a new plugin or feature. Something as simple as using ES7 features or having a Stylus preprocessor will require you to have a good understanding as to how the config file works.
Starter projects are a sign that the tool is too complicated
And finally, I think the fact that there are so many different boilerplates and starter projects for the same use case is a sign that the tool itself is not as beginner-friendly as it could be. A beginner-friendly build tool wouldn't spawn hundreds of starter projects, because the tool itself will naturally cover those cases in a simple and straight forward manner.
Thankfully, my internet perusing has led me to a solution that I am very happy with.
The Solution: Brunch
Brunch is not a new build tool. It's been around since 2011 (Grunt appeared in 2012) and is very mature in terms of what it can do. Unfortunately, because of many reasons, it hasn't gained the kind of traction like some other tools.
Side note: Check out a discussion on how it compares to Webpack here.
Simple Config Files (optional)
This is completely optional since 90% of the time you'll use "Skeletons" instead (I'll talk more about that below). But for when you really need to make some tweaks, there is a simple way for you to do so.
Brunch was built with simplicity and speed in mind. For example, here is a Brunch config file for React:
module.exports = {
files: {
javascripts: {
joinTo: {
'vendor.js': /^(?!app)/,
'app.js': /^app/ }
stylesheets: {joinTo: 'app.css'}
plugins: {
babel: {presets: ['es2015', 'react']}
You can easily see how that is a magnitude simpler to understand than current config files out there (let's not even talk about what Grunt and Gulp config files can look like).
Starter Projects (Batteries Included)
True to the title of this article, you can also use Brunch without any configuration at all (this is often what I do personally).
Right off the bat, Brunch includes "Skeleton" projects that will scaffold your entire project out for you. Simply head over to the Skeleton Registry and choose a project that you like.
Instead of having a million different options to choose from, you have one place to get what you need.
For me, I'd simply type something like this to start a React project:
brunch new myApp -s react
And now I have a folder called myApp that has a Babel, ES6, React project ready to go. Then, all I do is type the following into the terminal:
cd myApp
npm start
And now I can navigate to http://localhost:3333/ to see a React app up and running.
If you work with Coffeescript, SASS, Jade, Ember or even Typescript, there's probably a Skeleton project you can get started with.
Even if you can't find a skeleton project that completely fits what you need, Brunch's simple config language will allow you to quickly comprehend what is going on in each of these projects and you can easily build your own solution.
Just Another Tool
I don't expect Brunch to be adopted overnight. Nor do I expect Brunch to replace Webpack or some of the other tools out there. Brunch is just another tool you can use in your arsenal. Different tools do different things, and Brunch is no different.
Code splitting and Hot Module Replacement are two things that Webpack does really well, but Brunch has lagged behind on (for various legitimate reasons). That being said, Brunch has recently released an experimental entry point feature and they are also working on its own version of Hot Module Replacement.
It's hard to find a quicker, easier, and simpler solution.
If all you need is a super simple way to get started developing your app on your favourite frameworks (like React, for example), it's hard to find a quicker and easier solution than something like Brunch.
So give it a try, maybe you'll find it as useful as I have found it to be.
Edit (August 1st, 2016)
Facebook has released create-react-app, a new officially supported way to create single-page React applications. It offers a modern build setup with no configuration.
Even with the advent of this release, Brunch still fills an important gap. With create-react-app (CRA), you are given a basic app with almost no special features out of the box. That's fine, but there's also no way for you to configure it.
If you really need to configure it, you can choose to eject the app, and your app will be converted into a typical Webpack app with all of the configuration files used to power the basic CRA app.
This is a huge problem.
On the one hand, you have an app that's very easy to use, but completely non-configurable. On the other hand, you can eject the app, but now you are faced with an enormously complex Webpack app. This is a ridiculous jump in difficulty that we can't expect beginners to overcome.
For the time being, Brunch is still a fantastic option for building simple, configurable, and powerful React apps.
Small Update (January 26th, 2017)
Webpack v2 has now been released, and it's a LOT better than before. But going through the migration guide, and building a simple todo app, I still think that the developer experience of Brunch is a lot more pleasing.
Don't get me wrong, Webpack is certainly much more powerful than Brunch. And now that we have CRA (and it has matured a LOT), maybe it's not so crucial that we use Brunch after all.
That being said, I still think Webpack has a lot of room to grow from the ease-of-use perspective. These days, I prefer using Next.js. It seems to do everything that I need without requiring me to dive into huge configuration files. Some of my other favourite bootstrapping projects are React-Boilerplate and React Go.

On behalf of the Airport Authority, Chairman Vic Roberts recently presented the City of Gulf Shores with keys and ownership of a dry chemical and foam first response ARFF unit for airport use. The vehicle satisfies the requirements necessary to meet commercial air service standards.
Scott Fuller, Airport Manager, stated "The City of Gulf Shores Fire Department does a remarkable job providing equipment and trained personnel for airport emergency situations. However, to accommodate commercial air charter service we have had to borrow or lease a dry chemical unit to allow for this type of operation." Fuller further stated, "by purchasing this unit we eliminate an ongoing challenge in dealing with non-scheduled air charters."
City of Gulf Shores Fire Chief Hartly Brokenshaw gratefully accepted this important firefighting apparatus. "Receiving the ARFF vehicle was crucial to the safety and support services we provide at Jack Edwards National Airport."

This is a course for R users who want to get more out of R. Knowledge of R is a prerequisite, and Presciient's course "Introduction to R and Data Visualisation" is an ideal first step, along with work or project experience in using R. Attendees should be able to write R programs including loops, conditionality, scripts, and functions. They should also be familiar with the most basic data types: vectors, lists, matrices, and data frames, and means to index and manipulate them.
Course instructor
The course will be led by Presciient director, Dr Eugene Dubossarsky. He is the head of the Sydney Users of R Forum. Eugene is also Principal Founder of Analyst First, an international analytics industry organisation. He is a founder of the Institute of Analytics Professionals of Australia (IAPA); Director, University of New South Wales School of Mathematics and Statistics Industry Advisory Board; and a recognised industry leader in business analytics. Eugene is an experienced analytics professional with 20 years' experience programming in R and its parent language, S.
The Introduction to R course provided clear and logical assistance to getting up and running with R. More than that, the real value was in providing guidance on the myriad of online resources and introducing me to a network of passionate and helpful R users. Eugene is a knowledgeable and approachable teacher. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the course. I feel that I am now fully on the road to applying R and using data to improve efficiency across my organisation.
—James Orton, Data and IT Manager, UNICEF Australia
I have been trying to convert my Stata programming skills to R, however, there have been many times where I just wanted to sit down with someone and have them explain the fundamentals of programming in R. Sure, a number of books and websites have helped me become familiar with R, however, I still didn't feel ready to translate all of my familiar Stata commands to R (e.g. I am comfortable plotting graphics using ggplot2, however, revert back to Stata for data manipulation). I knew that a more effective way to learn and feel confident would be to sit down with someone and have them explain how they use R, how they clean data, how they plot graphics, etc. I knew that once I felt comfortable with cleaning my data in R, analysis would be less of an issue—I'm happy to research the specifics on my own.
Thank you Eugene for advancing my R skills. I especially appreciate the time spent explaining the fundamentals of data manipulation — i.e. the code one needs to know before running any basic or sophisticated analysis. The pace of the workshop was perfect.
—Dr Chelsea Wise, Lecturer, Marketing, UTS Business School

Filmmaker Brose close to taking plea deal in child porn case, court records indicate
Buoyed by an arts community here and across the world that views his case as a fight over freedom of expression, Lawrence Brose has maintained his innocence for more than four years.
The local filmmaker, however, may be changing his plea in the high-profile prosecution that accuses him of possessing child pornography.
Court records indicate Brose, former head of the CEPA Gallery, is engaged in plea negotiations with federal prosecutors and that "it appears the parties are in agreement."
One of Brose's lawyers also raised the possibility of a plea deal when questioned recently by a federal judge overseeing the case.
"It looks like he's going to be taking this," Timothy P. Murphy, one of Brose's defense attorneys, said of the plea agreement.
It's not clear at this point what Brose might plead guilty to – it could be a reduced charge unrelated to child pornography – or what his possible sentence might be.
Nevertheless, the court records and Murphy's comments are the first indication that the Buffalo artist may admit some wrongdoing.
Brose, who's known across the world for experimental films that explore the boundaries of male sexuality, was arrested in November 2009 and accused of possessing 1,300 child porn images on his laptop.
He resigned his job at the CEPA Gallery and a year later was indicted by a grand jury on a felony charge of knowingly possessing child pornography.
Lawyers on both sides of the case declined to comment on the possibility of a guilty plea, but court records indicate they are close to a final agreement and that the outstanding issues are not "insurmountable."
The records also indicate the next step is to schedule an appearance before Chief U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny, an assessment recently echoed by one of Brose's lawyers.
"We just need to schedule a plea," Murphy told U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeremiah J. McCarthy.
Buoyed by an arts community outraged by his arrest, Brose has repeatedly denied the allegations that he possessed child porn.
He later argued, through his lawyers, that someone else, without his knowledge or permission, used his computer to download the images.
The investigation into Brose began with a tip from law enforcement officials in Germany, who supplied Homeland Security agents here with an Internet address that had downloaded 58 images of suspected child porn.
The agents then traced the address to Brose and, after a forensic examination of his laptop, charged him with possessing 1,300 child porn images.
Brose, as part of his defense, hired his own independent forensic examiner. The results of her analysis of the laptop have never been made public.
Brose's case has attracted the interest of the arts community here and across the world and has prompted many of his backers to suggest his prosecution is really about freedom of speech and expression.
"Lawrence Brose has the complete support of the artistic community in Buffalo, who know and respect him and his work," Louis Grachos, former director of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, said in a letter posted on Brose's legal defense website.
"The charges that Mr. Brose is facing, in my opinion, are unfounded and violate freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and artistic freedom – all critical cornerstones of our society," Grachos said.
His backers also include R. Nils Olsen, a professor and former dean of the University at Buffalo Law School, and Olsen's wife, Sandra, director of UB's Art Galleries.
"It is critical that Lawrence continue to aggressively fight the charges and maintain his innocence," the Olsens said in their letter of support. "While the financial cost of such a defense is ruinous, the cost of a guilty plea, the alternative to mounting a defense, is far more destructive."
If there is a plea deal, it would end a prosecution that has taken more than its share of twists and turns.
In June 2011, McCarthy recommended the child pornography charge against Brose be dropped because of flaws in the government's grand jury presentation.
Six months later, Skretny ruled that the federal indictment should stand.
Brose currently faces up to 10 years in prison, but a plea deal, regardless of the charge, would almost certainly reduce his sentence.

The old adage of 'there are only two things in life that stay the same; death and taxes.' remains as true today as when the phrase was first coined. Life Insurance isn't like other insurances in that it may be useful at some point; life insurance is inevitably useful. Unfortunately, many put off purchasing policies until later in life when in reality it is best to purchase sooner in life to get it's full advantages. There are many reasons that life insurance matters and hopefully this article will impart some of the many benefits.
Peace of Mind
There are few things more tragic than unexpected loss of life. First and foremost, life insurance is there to provide for those left behind financially when death creates a hole in their support structure. Funeral costs are high and burdening family and friends with these expenses can be crippling. Insurance can help fill this very material need and leave peace of mind that the financial blow will be softened if not alleviated altogether. Insurance providers will coach as to the amount to insure needed to make certain that family and friends' immediate needs will cared for while setting the premiums at an affordable level.
Many Insurance companies, Manual Life being a prime example, create life insurance packages with investment components attached. The idea being that the insurance premium is set at a certain amount and any money paid over that premium amount goes into an investment portfolio determined by the client and the insurance representative. Over time the investment will grow and become self sustaining such that the interest earned will be enough to pay the premiums. At that point, payments into the plan can stop while the investment continues to grow. It is an elegant savings vehicle that couples the peace of mind of an insurance policy with the savings of an investment portfolio. This type of investing can also act as an income tax shelter.
For some retirement is far in the future and for others it is a much closer reality. The beauty of life insurance, from the eyes of a lender, is that it will activate and thus it is treated like a capitol asset that can be borrowed against. A 'policy loan' is an excellent way to live comfortably in retirement without needing an extravagant amount of money saved. This method works well when paired with the investment policy described above to further circumvent income tax if the money has been sheltered thus far.
For those worried about estate planning and leaving inheritance for surviving family, life insurance is an effective tool. Lawyers and financial planners should be involved and a plan drawn up along with the will to avoid any confusion. All matters of estate should be very clearly detailed so that the policy holders wishes are known and can not be mistaken once the policy is activated.
