The eulogy from Delia's daughter Beryl said: "Sadly we came to that awful, awful day when she was taken from us. Why her?" She said, in hindsight, she wished she hadn't persuaded her mum to move to Southampton.
She added: "But she wouldn't have had the closeness of her family round her, so I hope she will forgive me for that."

Battle Hymn of the Republic Teacher Resources
Find Battle Hymn of the Republic educational ideas and activities
Showing 1 - 20 of 45 resources
Fifth graders listen to and discuss the music of the Civil War Era in order to better explain society during this time period. They identify the musical instruments and write their own word to accompany the music of one of the songs.
Students become aware of the role music and the musician played in the Civil War. Students recognize the drum, fife, bugle, cymbals, and sax horn when shown photos of these instruments. Students sing a variety of songs from the Civil War era.
Using Mark Twain's The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg, invite your learners to consider the concept of virtue in a democratic society devoted to gain and self-interest. This stellar resource guides your class members through a close reading and discussion, and also includes a video seminar illustrating what high-level discourse regarding the text looks like.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of American individualism and independence? Explore these principles through a close reading of Jack London's To Build a Fire, and engage in high-level discussion with your class by analyzing the characters, story structure, and themes of the text.
The United States of America was founded on firm ideals of both the pursuit of happiness and a spirit of reverence. Through a close reading of Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The May-Pole of Merry Mount," you can examine what some consider was a "culture war" between these two ideals in the early stages of the new nation. After giving a brief overview of the story, work with your readers through the text using the guided questions provided by this resource.
What if society sought equality by handicapping the gifted and dispelling any traces of diversity? Kurt Vonnegut Jr. offers one possible answer to this question through his incredibly engaging and thought-provoking satirical story, "Harrison Bergeron". In addition to offering writing prompts and discussion questions that are sure to spark interest and debate amongst your readers, you will also have the opportunity to preview video excerpts where editors of the anthology engage in high-level discourse and work to elicit meaning from the classic American text.
Combining a close reading of a classic American text with the study of history can be a very powerful strategy, and this is most certainly the case with this resource using Edward Everett Hale's The Man without a Country. Consider themes as citizenship and national identity using the engaging discussion questions and prompts in this resource, and use the included videos to present an example of high-level discourse.
New Review The Grapes of Wrath: Symbols
What's with that turtle anyway? In session six of a ten-part unit study of The Grapes of Wrath, class members examine three major symbols that appear in the novel: Route 66, the American West, and the Biblical allusions in the title of the novel.
Whether new to teaching The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn or an experienced pro, you'll find useful resources in this teacher's guide. The 40-page packet includes background information, historical context, an annotated list of characters, a synopsis of the novel, discussion questions, a list of significant quotations, and activities for each block of chapters, writing prompts, and a detailed list of group and individual project ideas. Lists of works of art, music, and film that can be used to create a context for the novel are also included in the packet. The resource would make a powerful addition to your curriculum library.
A perfect companion for anyone reading The Grapes of Wrath, this 20-page packet instructs and directs readers' attention to all the key elements in John Steinbeck's Pulitzer Prize winning novel. The questions for Chapter one direct attention to diction and imagery. For Chapter three, readers focus on the tale of the turtle. The intercalary chapters, the gradual shift of thinking from"I" to "We," dialect and idiomatic expressions, and the differing roles of women and men all receive attention. A must-have resource that is well worth the paper expenditure.
Upper elementary and middle school learners engage in this awesome lesson plan on the Civil War. In it, they watch streamed video, perform Internet research, engage in hands-on activities, and use their geography skills to locate important events during this time period. Additionally, they take a close look at the harships of slavery.
Students brainstorm lists of songs that were written in response to American wars; consider the patterns in the lists they create.
Students conduct Internet research on the Dust Bowl before participating in a group activity about the characters from "The Grapes of Wrath". As part of a character analysis, they collaboratively write a dramatic monologue for their character. Groups write their monologue based on given criteria.
Mother's Day poems and other types of activities can get students' creative juices flowing.
Study and research the American Civil War in this explanatory writing lesson. Middle schoolers complete six activities to learn about the American Civil War and soldiers' views of the war. The lesson includes several options to complete the activities, such as PowerPoint, Venn diagram, and several biographical stories. Use this lesson to begin an informative writing assignment or to reinforce research procedures.
Third graders study American national holidays, symbols, songs and landmarks. They appreciate the meaning and significance of our nation's ideals of liberty, justice and equality.
Students explore the Civil War and the many emotions that emerged during this era. The teacher arranges students in groups of families and prepares them to simulate typical responses during this era. The Civil War and Gettysburg is re-enacted. Students write letters to their "family" members describing historical events in which they are involved. They pantomime a battle scene.
High schoolers conduct oral history interviews and research primary resources to explain changes in immigration and migration over time.
Students examine how history influenced American music. They view a Powerpoint presentation, listen to and analyze music, take notes on historical facts, and create and present a Powerpoint presentation to the class.

Renewed efforts to change legal loopholes in Queensland that allow for the so-called 'gay panic' defence are being led by a surprising source, a Catholic priest.
Father Paul Kelly has started an online petition to lobby the Bligh Government to change laws that allow the possibility of a reduced sentence in assaults where a homosexual advance is used as a defence.
More than 7000 people have already signed the petition on Change.org
"I'm utterly appalled that a law that so revoltingly and openly discriminates against gay people is still tolerated in a modern society," Kelly said.
"Laws like the 'gay panic' defence are a crucial part of legitimising and reinforcing a culture of hate which means that 73 percent of gay and lesbian Queenslanders are subjected to verbal abuse or physical violence for their sexuality.
"Queensland is now one of the last states upholding the idea that a person can be panicked enough by homosexual people to justify grievously bashing them to the point that they die, no matter how mild the alleged action."
Kelly became aware of the loophole when a man was murdered outside his Maryborough church in 2008 and the gay panic defence was used to try and reduce the accused's sentence.
Liberal National Party MP Ted Sorensen has promised Kelly he will take the issue to Parliament if the petition hits 10,000 signatures.
A 2010 amendment to the state's criminal code was touted by the Government as a solution to loopholes in the law regarding violence in retaliation to verbal advances from gay men, but it's not believed to have any affect on criminal cases where reaction to a physical advance is used as a defence.
Kelly said discussions with the Attorney General's department indicated the Bligh government was not prepared to go far enough to close the loophole.
"The mere introduction of this evidence arguably pollutes jury deliberations. That's why I am calling on the Queensland Parliament and LNP leader Campbell Newman to eliminate this law as a partial defence for murder," he said
"Given the failure of the Government to act, the petition is an opportunity for the Opposition Leader to take a positive step towards reducing discrimination and violence towards gay and lesbian people in Queensland."
You can sign the petition here.

Subject: Bertram Merrell Marriage Index
Date: Sun, 5 Mar 2006 13:01:27 +1030
Does anyone on the List know if the Bertram Merrell Marriage Index of Cheshire is an ongoing project? I know there have been a few CD's produced of this Index, at present I have only got as far as buying Version 1 and then Version 2. This Marriage Index does not claim to be complete and as I have found a couple of marriage records in the Parish Registers for one of my lines which don't show up on the Bertram Merrell Marriage Index, I was wondering if there is anyone I could notify so these details can be included in any possible future versions?

While many Oracle customers are delaying their ERP upgrades (often for up to five years) due to fears about uncertain project lengths and costs, more than 100 Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) customers have moved forward using automated upgrade technology from Panaya to plan and implement their upgrade projects.
Companies risk falling behind on key regulatory, legislative and business-practice changes due to delays in implementing vital upgrades to mission critical ERP systems. However, as these 100 Oracle customers have conclusively proved, the risk and the challenge of a smooth and rapid upgrade project can be significantly mitigated – by a factor of 50 – 70% – and should no longer be a deciding factor in upgrade decisions.
The City of Las Vegas, one of Panaya's newest customers, used Panaya to great effect to overcome the fear factor uncertainties. Having counted on Oracle's EBS to support its operations since 1998, the City needed to upgrade to the Oracle EBS 12 platform prior to Oracle's announced end-of-life support for their 11.5 system. With 2,600 employees using their system for daily transactions or self-service tasks, this was a critically important upgrade process with no room for failure.
Kathleen Fauerbach, City of Las Vegas Enterprise Project Manager, was tasked with leading the upgrade project. She received RFP responses ranging from $600,000 to $2,000,000 and needed to inject some certainty into the process. The Panaya solution was evaluated and ultimately chosen, enabling the City to self-manage the EBS upgrade and deliver considerable time and money benefits:
- 50% saved on project duration
- 50% saved on code corrections
- 35% saved on unit testing
- $100,000 saved on technical consulting
- Project was completed at $400,000 under the budget projected by the RFPs
When asked about the biggest benefit of the Panaya solution, Fauerbach cites the ability to plan accurately: "All that upfront work with Panaya helped us. Letting us know what we needed to focus our time on - that was immeasurable. And there were no surprises, which we were glad to see."
Oracle customers, including Oracle's biggest global customer and many other Fortune 500 companies, are rapidly turning to Panaya to assist them in their upgrades to EBS R12, passing the 100-customer milestone just one year after launching its upgrade automation solution for R12 upgrades.
Undertaking upgrades, especially mission critical ones, is always a challenge, according to Yossi Cohen, CEO of Panaya: "The fear factor need not apply any more. Panaya's solution removes the guesswork that can lead to hesitation in carrying out necessary upgrade work. We have seen from extensive experience, that projects can get done in less time, with less risk and with greater certainty – freeing resources for other critical uses."

About Panaya
Panaya's software-as-a-service helps companies that use SAP or Oracle reduce 70% of their upgrade and testing risk and effort. Utilizing a cloud-based supercomputer, Panaya simulates the upcoming upgrade, automatically pinpointing which custom programs will break as a result of the upgrade and automatically fixing most of these problems. Panaya's testing solutions dramatically expedite ERP testing and eliminate the need for manual test script maintenance. Seamlessly capturing business knowledge in the background, as users work with the ERP applications, Panaya automatically generates plain-English test scripts that are rapidly executed and continually self-adjust based on test results.

Michigan has 220,000 teens and young adults who are neither in school nor working and who face serious barriers to successful careers, according to a nonprofit group's report released Monday.
The report "Youth and Work: Restoring Teen and Young Adult Connections to Opportunity" says that in 2000, 13 percent of Michigan residents ages 16 to 24 were jobless and not enrolled in school. That rose to 17 percent, or 220,000, by 2011, the report says.
The number of teens and young adults who are working has been on the decline nationwide, according to the report. It says only 26 percent of those ages 16 to 19 and only 61 percent of those ages 20 to 24 were working last year.
For Michigan, the employment rates were 29 percent for those 16 to 19 and 59 percent for those 20 to 24, it said. Together, 45 percent of those 16 to 24 had jobs in Michigan in 2011, down from 67 percent in 2000.
"With fewer jobs in our state and so many experienced workers searching for jobs, the opportunities for youth are especially diminished," Jane Zehnder-Merrell, Kids Count in Michigan project director at the Michigan League for Public Policy, said in a statement. "The doors to a financially successful future are closed to many young people in our state."
The lack of so-called starter jobs means darker horizons for Michigan young people who lack training and education, the report says.
"The world is changing, and more highly skilled workers are needed," said Gilda Jacobs, president and chief executive of the Michigan League for Public Policy. "Though improving, our education and workforce systems are not keeping pace."
The declining employment prospects for young people harms others as well, Zehnder-Merrell said.
"Families and communities are hurt by this, too, and neither the state nor the federal government has developed a cohesive plan to provide disconnected youth with opportunities to complete their education or obtain job experience," she said.
The report's recommendations include:
-- National policymakers developing a youth employment strategy "that mobilizes public and private institutions together to tackle this issue."
-- Greater coordination among financial supporters for youth assistance programs.
-- Replication of successful efforts such as the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe in Battle Creek.
-- Employers stepping up to offer "career pathways and jobs for young people."

Named one of the Top Spas and Med Spas in Tarrant County by the Fort Worth Business Press in 2009, The Spa At the Village's aestheticians rejuvenate clients' skin and spirits with spa and holistic treatments. The extensive roster of services, which ranges from facials and massages to hydrotherapy and weight loss, helps guests balance internal health and external beauty.
Spa parties make each birthday or bachelorette party a simultaneously fun and beautifying event, and the wellness club can help celebrate birthdays and holidays with special promotions and gifts. The spa's boutique also hawks high-end organic ?minence products, HerbaSway serums, and FarmHouse Fresh products, ensuring that clients can exfoliate, tone, and moisturize the complexion of a favorite teddy bear or a sleeping grandmother in the comfort of their own homes.
After running her own spa in South Africa, Elize van Beljon ferried over to the States to open Spa By Di Vine?s stately stone-flanked doors in 2008. Trained throughout the globe in skincare, massage therapy, and makeup artistry, Elize boasts more than 28 years of professional experience and an extensive list of spa-centered certifications to help clients to refine skin and soothe tense bodies. Each visit begins with a personalized consultation to determine skin type, treatment options, and product preferences before delving into the tension-melting session. The spa?s selection of services consists solely of pharmaceutical-grade, clinically proven, and FDA?approved regimens that ensure a pampering experience as science-centered as sipping champagne from an Erlenmeyer flask.
Helmed by registered nurse Marie Reyes, SkinSpa Med's staff of licensed aestheticians and massage therapists pampers appearances with a wide variety of cosmetic treatments. The med spa's stable of six noninvasive lasers zaps away sagging skin and undesirable texture, rendering faces or cellulite-afflicted areas smooth and taut enough for quarter-bouncing contests. Alternatively, Dr. Kevin Light consults with guests interested in invasive procedures to dramatically alter features through cosmetic surgery. To accommodate frequent customers, SkinSpa Med offers memberships that allow guests to mix and match multiple treatments each month.
Straw-hued walls and weathered metal accents give an earthy feel to the treatment rooms that ensconce Southlake Skin Care Studio's clients, who linger beneath a velvet throw during treatments. Nestled within the Suite Escapes Salon complex, Julie Williams deep cleanses skin with European-style facials fortified with vitamins and plant-derived serums. Peels ranging in potency and hard and soft wax arm aesthetes for procedures, and the scents of hibiscus, pumpkin, and berries drift from products, raising fond memories of growing up in a cornucopia.
Licensed massage therapist Yvonne Robles combats muscular tension with Swedish, deep-tissue, and hot-stone massages. She also administers skincare treatments, including facials and "body glows" in tantalizing dessert scents.
Dan Schildgen, owner and general manager of Calista Skin & Laser Center, has put together a skilled team of medical professionals that specializes in nonsurgical aesthetic treatments. Medical director Ann Nolen, DO, is not only board certified in both family-practice and regenerative medicine, but also a member of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery. Dr. Nolen oversees the work of a certified senior laser technician with more than 15 years of experience, a registered nurse who helps people reach their weight-loss goals, and a highly trained laser-tattoo-removal expert who erases evidence of past fascinations with unicorns.
Aside from its knowledgeable beauty mavens, the center sets itself apart with some of the most advanced technology available. The eMax system's elōs technology combines bipolar radiofrequency, light, and diode-laser energies to target wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and unwanted hair. The eMatrix sublative rejuvenation system addresses acne scars and lesions, whereas ReFirme skin-tightening treatments create smoother, firmer appearances. The crew can also reduce fat and cellulite with VelaShape body contouring, giving clients enough confidence to stroll the beach in bikinis or participate in their offices' Hot Pants Days.

Ten short brain exercise sessions helped older adults stay mentally fit for as long as 5 years, according to a study involving over 2,800 men and women (average age, 74) living independently in the community.
Study participants were assigned to receive training in one of three areas: reasoning, memory, or speed of mental processing. Conducted over 6 weeks, the 10 hour-long training sessions included computerized exercises to strengthen memory building, speed of information processing, and reasoning. For example, some participants were asked to identify patterns or flashing objects shown on a computer screen. About 700 of the 1,877 people who were followed for all 5 years of the study also got short refresher sessions 1 year and 3 years later. A control group received no training.
Testing showed that most participants showed immediate improvements in the mental functions in which they'd been trained, as follows: memory group, 26%; reasoning group, 74%; information processing group, nearly 90%.
In most cases, the improvements lasted throughout the 5-year study period and were strongest in those who received refresher sessions. The researchers say that the training resulted in less functional decline based on participants' reports on their activities of daily living.

5 Instagram Secrets Your Teen Doesn't Want You to Know
- Holli Kaplan
- On April 23, 2014
- http://www.famtivity.com
When my daughter turned thirteen, her dad and I asked, "So, do you still want a Facebook account?" She had pleaded with us, unsuccessfully, for months about Facebook.
We feared social media would usurp the natural rhythms of her tween years: playing, creativity, reading, and boredom. We wanted our daughter to remain a kid for a little while longer.
Our daughter's reply to our question surprised us. "No way, Facebook is for old people! I want Instagram."
She said all her friends were on Instagram. It is THE way teens connect in social networks these days. Promoted as a photo-sharing app, Instagram also contains the functions of a social network that meets the needs of teens, many of whose parents, like us, denied them a Facebook account out of concern for age appropriateness, cyberbullying, or privacy.
We assumed Instagram was an innocuous platform for our daughter to get her feet wet in the world of social media and connect with her friends. After I conducted a recent and informal poll among some parents of teenage Instagram users, I realized that most parents are not aware of the unspoken norms of teenage social networking. In her article, How Instagram Became the Social Network for Tweens, author Michelle Meyers describes the naïveté of parents, "But with Instagram our guards were down. We never really imagined how it would be used."
Plenty of online articles exist that explain what parents should know about Instagram. Most of them include warnings about geotagging, privacy settings, and blocking users. There is some token mention about how Instagram can be used as a platform for cyberbullying. My husband and I did our due diligence and read these articles before granting our daughter permission to create her Instagram account. None of the articles we found on the web describe how Instagram cyberbullying is actually executed.
I believe there's a simple explanation for this: teens don't talk to adults about how and what they are communicating on Instagram. Of course they don't — they're teens!
What I've uncovered is the secret culture of teenage Instagram communication. And for a parent who wants to raise a healthy, self-confident and independent daughter, I'm disturbed by what I've learned. What I discovered about teen behavior on Instagram is that it is: a) pervasive and prolific, b) considered by adolescents to be a completely normal part of their social networking code of conduct and, c) veiled in secrecy so that it's hidden from adults and can easily be overlooked by parents. This type of social behavior has always existed among adolescents, but things are different today – in literally seconds a teen's life can be turned upside down from a hurtful comment posted publicly, and it can potentially live on for weeks, months, or years online.
Here's what's happening on Instagram (Note that the post examples and photos are actual samples taken from Instagram.):
A teen user posts a photo on his/her feed. The type of photo isn't important; it could be any kind of image. This user writes a caption under the photo; a call to action, so to speak, which appears immediately after their user name. In the example below, the user name is "teen_A" whose call to action starts with "like for a":
- teen_A like for a
… followed by one or more of the following evaluation words:
1. Rate (see photo, right)
2. Truth Is or To Be Honest (tbh)
3. First Impression
4. Best Feature
5. To Be Rude (tbr)
Next, teen_A's followers who want to accept this solicitation "double tap" on teen_A's photo to "like" it. For instance, a user by the name of "teen_B" double taps the photo posted by teen_A. Teen_B's user name is now captured in a list under teen_A's photo and is visible to teen_A and all of teen_A's followers. By double tapping, teen_B has now accepted teen_A's solicitation for teen_A to rate teen_B.
Soon, teen_B will receive a comment written by teen_A posted under, typically, a selfie image teen_B has previously posted on his or her own Instagram feed. Teen_A's comments on teen_B's selfie will correspond to the above-mentioned evaluations in the following manner:
1. Rate
Teen_A will simply type one numeral, from 1-10, in the comments section under teen_B's selfie. It is universally accepted among teen Instagram users that this number is a rating of that teen's appearance. Teen_A's comment looks like this under teen_B's selfie:
- teen_A 7
The "like for a rate" has a variety of nuances:
- If the rated image is that of a female, it's understood by teens that the rating of 1-10 applies solely to her appearance. If the image being rated is that of a male, the rating is assumed to apply to both his appearance and his personality.
- If a close friend is rating the selfie, a rating of 9 or 10 is considered insulting. Therefore, a rating of "100" by a BFF (best friend forever) is standard practice.
- Generally, a rating between '7' and up to '10' is considered favorable. A rating of '6' or below is regarded as low and often evokes feelings of inadequacy in the teen that received this kind of rating.
2. Truth Is or To Be Honest (tbh)
Teen_A will comment on teen_B's selfie in one of the following ways:
- teen_A tbh – u r really pretty and stunning and nice
- teen_A truth is u r in my math class
- teen_A truth is I've seen u around but we never really talk and we should get to know each other
The norms for "tbh" posts are:
- "Shoulds" are rarely acted upon; writing "we should" about the desire to get to know somebody better rarely results in a new or deeper friendship between two teens.
- A guy's "tbh" comment will differ from a girl's. His "tbh" comment tends to be factual while hers is sprinkled with subjective opinions. Can you guess which of the above comments some guy posted? Yep, the one about math class.
- With a "tbh", it's expected that friends will post mean comments as a joke. For example: teen_A tbh– omg, u r so ugly, why r u a person? #ily (I love you.)
3. First Impression
Teen_A will comment on teen_B's selfie in one of the following ways:
- teen_A first impression – u r a really good singer
- teen_A first impression- u seem nice
4. Best Feature
Teen_A will comment on teen_B's selfie in one of the following ways:
- teen_A best Feature – eyes
- teen_A best feature – everything!
It's common for two ratings to be combined. For example, teen_A's photo caption will state:
- teen_A like for a rate and best feature
When teen_B double taps teen_A's photo, teen_B has just accepted the invitation to be rated by teen_A on these two parameters. Teen_A's comment on teen_B's selfie might look something like:
- teen_A rate – 9, smile
Combinations of ratings have become so popular that images now exist on Instagram for teen_A to capture as a screen shot and post on their account with the caption, "Pick 2."
Using the image on the right as an example, teen_B will post a comment under this image:
- teen_B 3 and 7
Then, teen_A finds a selfie on teen_B's account and posts a comment that corresponds to teen_B's choices of '3′ and '7′:
- teen_A rate – 9, hot
5. To Be Rude (tbr)
Typically, a "tbr" is a written comment posted under a selfie:
- teen_A tbr u r so pretty u make everyone jealous
- teen_A tbr ur teeth are way 2 straight
Notice the inherent conflict in these "tbr" comments: it's an invitation to be rude, but the post's offensiveness is camouflaged in a compliment. However, there was nothing complimentary about the "tbr" posts that resulted in the suspension of three eighth grade students at our local middle school last week. These students took the "tbr" to another level by posting videos about the teens that double tapped their "tbr" image. The offenders allegedly posted a fifteen second "tbr" clip in which they had filmed themselves commenting about a fellow student:
"To be rude, I don't really know you and I don't really wanna cuz you seem like a total bitch."
Much like a pebble thrown into water causes ripples to radiate outward, this "tbr" video and any of these "like for a…" posts can be viewed by followers and exponentially increase the potential for shame and embarrassment for the teen who double tapped the "tbr" solicitation.
Our assumption that Instagram is a harmless place for our teenage daughter was inaccurate. When we allowed our daughter to create her Instagram account over a year ago we didn't know we were submitting her to public evaluation, often based on traits of the most superficial kind. Nevertheless, these social critiques are exactly what she's yielding to every time she solicits or responds to one of these "like for a…" posts. I may have been naïve about Instagram, but I'm fully aware that there are very few people who can participate in an environment full of constant subjective evaluation and criticism and remain unaffected – and adolescents are particularly vulnerable.
I don't blame Instagram for how teens are using its platform. But, the caring and concerned parent within me can't help but imagine what my post would look like if Instagram double-tapped my "like for a rate and tbr" image:

Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Canterbury Men's Baselayer Cold Long Sleeve Top (Sports Apparel)
Decided to order this after already having a few similar cheaper alternatives but wanting something which was better quality and fit. The quality is excellent however the fit I found to be very poor. I am 5'11 tall and weigh just over 11 stone and ordered a medium. The top was around 2 inches short on my arm length, nothing I have experienced a problem with before. Any movement caused the sleeves to ride up even further! The length on the body was also short for the size. Very disappointing. Despite its good quality it was Sent back for refund due to the poor fit.

More than 500 participants will paddle 340 miles in a race along the Missouri River from Kansas City to St. Louis.
The seventh annual Missouri River 340 started Tuesday and is expected to end Friday in St. Charles.
Organizers said this year's event attracted a record number of racers, despite the recent blistering heat.
Safety boats are following the paddlers, and most racers have friends and family following them with food and camping supplies.
The Missouri River 340 is supported by Missouri River Relief and Missouri American Water.

Rare Stones a Speciality for First-time Exhibitor
Marble interior specialist Marbrerie Crepet Agencement (Stand 1054) is exhibiting for the first time at an EBACE show. Established almost 100 years ago as a part of the funeral industry, the French company has turned its hand to private and business aircraft for the past 15 years, working with marble, granite, rare and semi-precious stones and new composite materials including quartz.
The company was sold to Fabien Bancel in February 2010 and since then a team of eight craftsmen has been producing high quality made-to-measure galley countertops, lavatory vanity tops, tables, stone floors and wall coverings for aircraft cabins. Its aim is to combine years of experience and skill with modern technologies to provide unique interior fittings, Bancel told AIN.
Master marble craftsmen work with both decades-old proven tools and state-of-the-art technology. "We are the only company of its kind in France and all our production is unique," Bancel claimed. "We work directly with aircraft manufacturing professionals as well architects, designers and decorators. Everything we produce has to take account of the aircraft's weight and its ability to resist turbulence."
Marbrerie Crepet's clients are involved in interior completion and about 80 percent of them are designers working for companies such as Dassault Aviation, Jet Aviation, Gore Design, M&R Associates. In the near future, Bancel said, it expects to work with Geneva-based Burnet Interiors.
According to Bancel, apart from a few companies in the U.S. and Italy, there are few competitors in the sector because stone is rarely used in business and VIP aircraft. "But designers agree that for certain interior furnishings there is no other choice," he said. The company installs its products and maintains them mostly through cleaning and polishing. Bancel said the materials practically never require repair.
As it looks forward to its centenary in 2013 Marbrerie Crepet aims to expand the client base, partly by moving into the business-class cabins of airliners. Investment this year will amount to 20 percent of revenues and rise to more than 40 percent in 2012. Spending will go toward new equipment and a new marble factory.

The way of the warrior
Publication Date : 17-09-2012
A walk through Thailand's Srinakharinwirot University's G23 Art Gallery is both a journey through past and present: past, because it evokes memories of the days when samurai fought their enemies with swords and other weapons. The present, as while the fighting techniques remain the same, the focus has shifted from inflicting damage to self-defence.
"The Spirit of Budo: The History of Japan Martial Arts", a travelling exhibition organised by the Japan Foundation, offers an impressive display of original artefacts, such as sword mountings and bows and arrows, as well as reproductions of armours and helmets crafted using traditional techniques to look identical to the originals preserved in museums and castles.
"This exhibition seeks to help the viewer understand a brief history of Japanese martial arts from bujutsu - battlefield combat technique - to budo, a way of fighting that pursues more than technique and aims to develop character and morality as well as physical skill. We hope the viewer will become aware not only of the history of Japanese martial arts, but also of the people's aesthetic awareness and creativity, Japan's social history and come to regard the Japanese way of thinking from a new angle," says Uchida Yasuko, head of Japan Foundation Bangkok's Arts and Culture Department.
"Especially outstanding are the o-yoroi-type armours, because they can be recognised as true works of art produced by artisans. The helmet is of the tsuji-kabuto type. It is a reproduction of the one shogun Tokukawa gave as a present to King James I of England."
The early type of armour worn by the samurai class was called o-yoroi - full armour - and was used by cavalry archers. In contrast, the haramaki (belly protector) style of armour was devised for the infantry, but armour with sleeves and haramai with a helmet added gradually came to be used by the generals as well.
A reproduction of the o-yoroi type with a hoshi-kabuto (star) helmet is one of the highlights of "Spirit of Budo". The front is covered with hide to prevent catching the bowstring when its wearer is engaged in horseback archery. The hide extends over both shoulders to the sleeves, and there are breastplates on both sides for protection when firing arrows. A loin protector supports the archer as he sits astride his horse and a star helmet completes the ensemble.
Next to this is a full reproduction of haramaki armour with a helmet of the suji-kabuto type. This armour had the advantage of not requiring much space for storage when elongated and folded over. To accommodate movement of the body, the trunk was hinged in four plates. The hands were sheathed in iron plates lined with cloth. The full ensemble had a lacquer coating atop the plates with all the parts joined together with deer hide thongs.
Owing to the difficulties in exporting and importing weapons of any kind, "Spirit of Budo" has been unable to bring in the swords themselves and showcases only the mountings. These, like the swords they sheath, are the consummation of more than a thousand years of craftsmanship, amalgamating various skills including iron forging, lacquerwork and metalwork.
The exhibition displays the mountings of both tachi - a curved single-edged sword with elongated handle to engage in combat from a safe distance with mounted foe - and uchigatana whose blade was worn thrust through the belt, edge pointing upwards when walking. The uniqueness of these mountings as handicraft objects mainly lies in the colour and shape of scabbard, sword guard, grip lacing and other decorative grip swells.
Japanese bows are characterised by their unusual length - about 2.2 metres - and unique shape. On view are historical bamboo bows that were lacquered and bound with rattan or cord to increase strength and prevent joints from splitting and the wood separating from the bamboo. Adjacent to these is a selection of today's fibreglass bows that are popular for their durability and easy maintenance.
Arrows were also made from natural materials like bamboo though competitive archers today use carbon arrows for their outstanding durability. Bamboo arrows are on view together with bowstring reels made of cane and twisted paper string attached with powder cases made of stag antler and cow horn. Other items of interest include a whistling-bulb signal arrow, a quiver, a deerskin glove and a left thumb protector.
Visitors will be fascinated by the eight wild helmets in this collection from the Warring States period (1467-1568) - an age of incessant violence - and they are all presented in their original splendour, just as they appeared at the time of their creation. They are called kawari kabuto (strange helmets) and served not just to intimidate opponents on the battlefield but also made it easy to distinguish friend from foe in the heat of battle.
The strange helmet of a false head is worth a closer look. Records show that hair was deliberately planted on top of the helmet to deceive the enemy into attacking apparently easy targets. The catfish-tail helmet sports a dragonfly-shaped symbol, signifying victory and courage.
Away from the war zone, the exhibition focuses on the contemporary practice of martial arts like karate, judo, kendo and naginata. Exhibits in this section include bamboo swords for practice, protective gear, gloves and training items for karate among them iron clogs, heavy jars and heavy weights. A descriptive DVD presentation demonstrates how various moves are performed.
"After the Meji restoration and starting in 1911, bujutsu was accepted as a discipline to be taught in school as an elective subject. The name was officially changed from bujutsu to budo in 1926. Between 1935 and 1945, budo became associated with the Shinto beliefs and played a significant role in military related activities during World War II. Following Japan's defeat in 1945, the practice of budo was banned for several years.
"When judo started being practised in 1950 followed by kendo in 1953, it was reintroduced in schools but under the condition that budo were to be taught as 'sports' with the rules and rationalisation of technique. Now, budo is practised through various types of martial arts disciplines and has become popular all over the world," says Yasuko.
''The Spirit of Budo: The History of Japan Martial Arts' continues until September 27. G23 Art Gallery is at Srinakharinwirot University's Prasarnmit campus on Asoke Road in Bangkok.

Thanks to ever-improving technology, ebooks can be produced relatively quickly and economically compared to their traditional print cousins. But with the temptation to capitalize on speed and low cost, it's easy for publishers to cut corners on quality, especially when it comes to things that affect look, layout, and readability-such as proper conversion of text, images, and other elements from a print book to an ebook. And because churning out sloppy electronic copy can potentially turn off customers, content providers are worried.
Nov 11, 2005
Captiva Software Corporation, a provider of input management solutions, has announced the availability of Dispatcher 4.0, a new version of its document classification and extraction software.
Dispatcher includes the ability to identify and separate structured, unstructured, and handwritten documents, and automatically route them to the appropriate person or department within the enterprise for optimized processing. Dispatcher 4.0 now identifies documents and extracts business critical data by creating a "digital finger print" that combines text analysis and dynamic field positioning information to better analyze both the content and structure of each document. The digital fingerprint is designed to enable Dispatcher 4.0 to identify a document type, search for areas containing data to be extracted, and determine what type of data to extract.
The new version of Dispatcher also features the ability to detect and extract data from tables in a document. Dispatcher 4.0 introduces a mechanism for analyzing multiple-line invoice items and automatically manages page breaks when a line item continues to a consecutive page of the same invoice.The new 4.0 version of Dispatcher is also fully integrated with InputAccel, Captiva's document capture software. Dispatcher enables customers to streamline document capture and forms processing by sorting and indexing all types of documents.
