28 March 2012 An Affair Of The Heart From The Very Beginning
This beautiful Ducati 125cc Bialbero, starting life as Fabio Taglionis prototype Grand Prix Racer circa 1956, has been recently restored by Hugo Gallina of Vintage Italian Restorations, and described by owner Jack Silverman as ' ...an affair of the heart from the very beginning '.
This image, taken by Jose Gallina, Hugos' son, is of Jack Silverman riding his newly restored Bialbero on its first outing at the Corsa Moto Classica in August 2011 held at Willow Springs Raceway, USA. It came first.
We are frequently asked to contribute to precious or uncompromising projects, and here Jack obviously needed the right riding gear . We recreated for him the red and white concentric ring design on the Davida Classic Helmet - the historic racing colours of the 125cc Ducati Works Racers from the 1950's and 60's. Ducati Works Riders of 175cc machines wore a helmet with the blue and white concentric rings. The original design also carried a large yellow D on the front of the helmet.
The full story of this remarkable machine from 1956 to present day can be read in the 7th and current edition of Benzina Magazine.
Inspired by street racers and street cultures of the past the Davida helmet is available in more than 40 distinctive designs as standard from £225. Even with these true classics on offer you may still lust after you own individual design. An additional £45 is charged for every colour we have to buy in especially for your design. We even provide a design advice service to ensure your flat artwork will work on the dome of a helmet.
For more than 20 years riders have been able to be co-designers with Davida craftsman in creating their own on-off helmet designs. The Davida helmet is a canvas, albiet a beautifully crafted one, for you to bring your creativity to the process and complete the picture.
This is only possible because the Davida helmet is still hand-built in the UK, using the best quality materials available and with every distinctive livery and detail carefully created by individuals who still care about these things.
As with all our helmets, your customised helmet starts with a raw fibreglass shell that is primed, painted and lacquered by hand, by Davida's craftsman at our factory in Birkenhead, Merseyside. Once your custom design has been applied to the shell it follows the same manufacturing process; your shell is fitted with polystyrene liner and finished with our supremely comfortable quilted leather liner. The process for creating a one-off design usually takes 4 weeks to complete, after which you can say that your helmet is not just unique, in the true sense of the word, but unique to you too.
This bespoke servcie is available to anyone. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com to discuss your ideas.
23 March 2012 A great honour to include Umberto Masetti
From the Davida Archive , this sketch was hand drawn by Umberto Masetti 14 years ago and sent to us so we could reproduce his helmet design for our Racing Series . In 1998, having decided to create the Davida Racing Series, we went to Assen for the amazing Centenary TT . A one off event, organised by Ferry Brouwer ( ex boss of Arai), it was the perfect opportunity to see World Champions from around the world racing their original GP machinery and recruit them for our new Racing Series. The Davida Racing Series is still produced today and features the historic racing design colours worn by 17 racers from the 1960's. Sharon of Davida did all the research and pulled all the information together to make the helmets, it was quite a task. The event went down in history, a great job by Ferry who made the Centenary TT event happen, a credit to him, it was amazing. We were there.

9 March 2012 Motoservices Tested the D4Vi9A Winter Glove Test - by Jean Louis Bernardelli, Paris, 2012
Motoservices Summary
"D4Vi9A motorcycle or scooter gloves: winter and spring; they're cool and chic..."
...Jean Louis Bernardelli tested the Davida D4VI9A winter gloves. "Marvellous" declared Jean Louis at the end of his test, "these motorcycles and scooter gloves use cutting-edge technology which means warm fingers even in cold weather".
"These Davida gloves are, of course, made from extremely high quality very supple leather. Leather is fact one of the only materials that helps a rider to not leave his skin in shreds on the tarmac. These gloves are sewn with Kevlar, which guarantees their strength ... They have a Velcro wrist-closure, elasticated cuff and a zip so you can wear them under or over your jacket sleeves. This cuff also has a second Velcro closure. The fingers are articulated, likewise on the top of the hand, meaning it is easy to squeeze the twist-grips without getting cramp. Because the glove has no pre-formed curvature it is easier to put away. These Davida gloves help fight against the cold, being multi-layered and therefore far superior to just one thick layer. Technology shows through in the design of this glove with a first layer of a thermal protection called Thinsulate, a product manufactured in England, together with a Porelle membrane which is both waterproof and breathable. "
Jean Louis Bernardelli Full Report
"We tested the Davida D4VI9A winter gloves. Marvellous, Classic and pretty as a picture, these motorcycles and scooter gloves use cutting-edge technology which means warm fingers even in cold weather. Numbness, our mortal enemy, meets its nemesis…..
Davida, an English company that operates throughout Europe, has loads of great clothes for riding a motorcycle or scooter. They came to the Lyon trade fair the JPMS 2012 and they were seen at Moto Legend, with a very original collection of helmets, goggles, gloves and other accessories like the beautiful leather mask that is shown in the picture above.
The details add to the attraction, many of its products, particularly helmets, are manufactured in England.
People who don't shower the Chinese with gifts and who think of comfort and style are bound to be interesting!
We have chosen, given the season, to test their winter gloves.
Although the really cold weather has now passed us by, there are still plenty of frosty rides to be had out on a bike.
Moreover, we all know that the Classic look is in for motorcyclists and scooterists .....
So, we checked-out these winter gloves with an ultra-sharp vintage look allied with ultra-sharp technology!
To sum up ….imagine it's like having that lovely long lie-in in your duvet on a cold Sunday morning, but for your hands! And they are artfully constructed with joints and reinforcements where needed, they are hand-sewn, they are warm when the wind is cruel ... And besides, not very expensive; And that bit of chic. All this – and more….
An engineered glove .....
Okay, it's a leather glove. The only material that helps a rider to not leave his skin in shreds on the tarmac.
But if leather is thick it's rock solid, or if its fine , it is just too flimsy...!
The leather of these gloves however is of extremely good quality, therefore flexible.
These gloves are sewn with Kevlar, which guarantees their strength ... They have a Velcro wrist-closure, elasticated cuff and a zip so you can wear them under or over your jacket sleeves. This cuff also has a second Velcro closure, altogether well-made.
The fingers are articulated, likewise on the top of the hand, meaning it is easy to squeeze the twist-grips without getting cramp. Because the glove has no pre-formed curvature it is easier to put away and (personal opinion) really more elegant.
Good, but the cold?
Multilayer technology and ...
It's been known for donkeys years that multi-layers are far superior to just one thick layer when it comes to beating the cold ..probably even before the invention of the wheel 5,000 years ago in Sumer, Mesopotamia. Certainly then they didn't need gloves but we now have further to go!
So, we've established that multi-layers are the way to go, Then, onto the glove, where the technology kicks-in..
First with a layer of Thinsulate, a product manufactured in England, which is actually a thermal protection. With this is added a Porelle membrane, which is both waterproof and breathable. This regulates the serious problem that if we sweat, then later with the wind-chill factor, everything cools. Rule number one, learned in Quebec on a snowmobile in minus 40; to have warm hands keep your hands dry!
Finally, the nylon lining is a further insulating layer against the wind.
Here's the lowdown.
As already said, the extremely cold weather has passed-by, for which we recommend the Seasmic heated gloves, except for those of you who live in mountainous corners, like the Jura, the Alps, Pyrenees, Vosges, and sometimes in the east of France where temperatures have been slightly below the national average ...
That said, below ten degrees riding motorcycles can bring on numbness....
Well, my scooter does not have sleeves or a windbreak, so it is ideal for this kind of test.
On the Périphérique at around four degrees centigrade (in the wind, it feels downright below zero) in fact, I returned with the rest of me well and truly frozen, yet my hands did not even feel like they had been out in the cold!
I have not fully tested for rain resistance yet, and for good reason as you see every night on TV France is undergoing a winter drought.
I could run them under the tap water and pretend, but I doubt the scientific and legitimate operation of this type of testing.
I can't really find any negative faults here."

14 December 2011 DAVIDA JET get 5 Stars in MCN STAFF KIT REVIEW
MCN staff's bike gear rated in last weeks issue 07/12/2011- Marc Abbott gave the Davida Jet a glowing report and a 5 star rating.
In 1 year, eight months he rode 9,000 miles in his Davida Jet . Click here for Marc's full report. In summary he said " .... there are many years of service left in this ( fast becoming) old faithful.
Yesterday 12/12/2011 we received an email from Marc.
" A short note to let you know two things.
1. A review of my Davida Jet is in the current issue of MCN. It gets five stars.
2. I will be reviewing it again soon, as it saved my life on Friday night. A 40-50mph collision and slide along Tarmac has ended its life, but left me with not even a headache. The broken collarbone I don't think any helmet could have saved!
All the best, Marc "
As Davida customers will know, unlike other modern creations, the more you wear a Davida Jet the better it gets. It's a shame then that Marc's was just coming into its own.
5 December 2011 Rollerburn Helmets now available from Davida
13 hours condensed into 7.5 minutes Rollerburn:The Documentary
Davida has had a long association with Sideburn Magazine, so when they came up with the out-there concept that was Rollerburn it was almost a given that Davida would get involved, particularly given the nature of the beast. Rollerburn loosely combined roller derby, motorbikes (mainly custom, classic and flat-track), skaters, live music and motorcycle artwork.
The main highlight of the Rollerburn event took its inspiration from the classic 1975 genre-film Rollerball starring James Caan as a fierce, fight-to-the-death competitor for the Houston Team, fighting for freedom, in a violent sport against teams from New York, Tokyo and Madrid.
The main event of the Rollerburn event featured TT Hero Guy Martin, Sideburn's Gary Inman and comedian Charlie Chuck recreating the films iconic game where motorbikes dragged fearless skaters around a track. Rollerburn created the perfect platform to display the skill, enthusiasm and commitment of two British motorcycling companies, with riders dragging tattooed skating vixens on specially produced Flat Track race bikes supplied by Co-Built and wearing Davida helmets created in each of the teams designs from the original film. Classic British attitude at its best. Amen.
These helmets designs are now available as standard on any Davida helmet from 220.00 pounds (ex VAT)
Part Nos 370 – RB Houston ( orange/red & gunmetal grey)
Part Nos 371 – RB Madrid ( teal green & & gunmetal grey)
Part Nos 372 – RB New York (orange/blue/white & gunmetal grey)
Part Nos 373 – RB Tokyo ( yellow & gunmetal grey)
Helmets will be supplied with poppers as required by raod safety regulations and not as shown. Designs shown are on a speedster but designs can be applied to Davida Ninety Two and Davida Jet. It is not beyond the realms of possibility to adapt the designs to work on the Davida Classic. This has not been tried yet !

|PostgreSQL 9.5.2 Documentation
|Appendix E. Release Notes
Release Date: 2011-01-31
This release contains a variety of fixes from 8.4.6. For information about new features in the 8.4 major release, see Section E.110.
A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.4.X. However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 8.4.2, see Section E.108.
Avoid failures when EXPLAIN tries to display a simple-form CASE expression (Tom Lane)
If the CASE's test expression was a constant, the planner could simplify the CASE into a form that confused the expression-display code, resulting in "unexpected CASE WHEN clause" errors.
Fix assignment to an array slice that is before the existing range of subscripts (Tom Lane)
If there was a gap between the newly added subscripts and the first pre-existing subscript, the code miscalculated how many entries needed to be copied from the old array's null bitmap, potentially leading to data corruption or crash.
Avoid unexpected conversion overflow in planner for very distant date values (Tom Lane)
The date type supports a wider range of dates than can be represented by the timestamp types, but the planner assumed it could always convert a date to timestamp with impunity.
Fix pg_restore's text output for large objects (BLOBs) when standard_conforming_strings is on (Tom Lane)
Although restoring directly to a database worked correctly, string escaping was incorrect if pg_restore was asked for SQL text output and standard_conforming_strings had been enabled in the source database.
Fix erroneous parsing of tsquery values containing ... & !(subexpression) | ... (Tom Lane)
Queries containing this combination of operators were not executed correctly. The same error existed in contrib/intarray's query_int type and contrib/ltree's ltxtquery type.
Fix buffer overrun in contrib/intarray's input function for the query_int type (Apple)
This bug is a security risk since the function's return address could be overwritten. Thanks to Apple Inc's security team for reporting this issue and supplying the fix. (CVE-2010-4015)
Fix bug in contrib/seg's GiST picksplit algorithm (Alexander Korotkov)
This could result in considerable inefficiency, though not actually incorrect answers, in a GiST index on a seg column. If you have such an index, consider REINDEXing it after installing this update. (This is identical to the bug that was fixed in contrib/cube in the previous update.)

Ian Hennessy, a former All-American soccer player at Seton Hall who served as an assistant coach at Boston College for four seasons, was named the new head coach of the University of Delaware men's soccer program on January 23, 2006.
In February, 2014, after leading his team to two NCAA Tournament appearances three years, Hennessy agreed to a five-year contract extension.
"We are thrilled to announce this five-year extension for Ian that demonstrates our commitment to his leadership of our men's soccer program," said UD Director of Athletics Eric Ziady in making the announcement. "We were all excited by the on-field and off-field successes of our team this past fall (2013). We are proud that Ian, his staff, and our group of student-athletes represent the University and all of Delaware Athletics in such a positive fashion. Together, Ian and I have great goals for our soccer program on a national level and I look forward to partnering with him and his staff in the pursuit of these goals in the years ahead."
Hennessy is the 11th head coach in UD men's soccer history - which dates back to 1926 - and only the third since 1963. His seven-year record at Delaware stands at 56-77-19 entering the 2014 campaign, his ninth at the helm.
The Blue Hens have posted two of the finest seasons in school history over the last three campaigns with Henessey leading his squads to a Colonial Athletic Association Tournament title and a first round NCAA victory in 2011 and to another NCAA Tournament first round appearance in 2013.
Hennessy completed his eighth season at the helm in 2013 and led Delaware to one of its finest seasons in school history as the Blue Hens set a school record for wins in a season while going 14-5-1 and earning an at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament. For his efforts, he was named the South Atlantic Region Head Coach of the Year by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA).
In addition to setting a school record for wins and best overall winning percentage in a season, the 2013 squad also established program standards for goals scored (45), assists (42), and corner kicks (144) in a single season. The Blue Hens finished the 2013 season ranked second in NCAA Division I in scoring offense, averaging 2.25 goals per game. Delaware received votes in the national NSCAA and College Soccer rankings throughout most of the season and recorded two Top 25 victories, downing then No. 8 UMBC and then No. 21 William & Mary during the month of October.
The Hens posted a 4-3 record in Colonial Athletic Association play to earn the No. 4 seed in one of the nation's most competitive conferences, but dropped a heart-breaking decision to top seed Drexel on penalty kicks in the tournament semifinals. Delaware still earned an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament and hosted a first round game for the first time in 40 years before dropping another heartbreaker, this time a 2-1 overtime setback to St. John's before an overflow crowd of 1,123 at the Delaware Mini-Stadium.
Hennessy also guided a Delaware program-best eight student-athletes who earned a total of nine All-CAA postseason awards, including CAA Rookie of the Year Guillermo Delgado. Delgado, along with junior goalkeeper Borja Barbero, earned All-CAA first team honors while junior Roberto Giménez and senior Vincent Mediate earned All-CAA second team accolades. Junior defender Ignacio Martín represented Delaware on the All-CAA third team and Delgado, Jaime Martinez, and Ben Sampson were All-CAA Rookie Team selections. Delgado earned second team NSCAA All-American honors and was joined on the All-NSCAA South Atlantic Region team by Barbero, Mediate, and Martin.
In addition to the on-field success, two Delaware players, Sampson and Luke Oostdyk, were selected to the prestigious College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) District 2 All-Academic team. Of the 27 team members, an impressive total of 15 student-athletes carried a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher.
During the 2011 season, Hennessy led the Blue Hens to a dramatic post-season run as Delaware captured the CAA Tournament championship with three victories in four days. The Blue Hens posted a pair of penalty kick victories over Northeastern and James Madison, before edging 18th-ranked Old Dominion, 2-1, to win the team's first CAA title.
Delaware traveled to Virginia, the 2009 national champion, in its first round game, and stunned the Cavaliers when John Dineen scored the lone goal of the match with 4:14 left in the second overtime period. The Blue Hens then headed to fourth-ranked and eventual Final Four participant UCLA, where they battled the Bruins before falling 1-0 on a goal with just 6:44 remaining.
Following their remarkable season, the Blue Hens were selected the 2011 Delaware Sportswriters and Broadcasters Association Delaware Team of the Year. Evans Frimpong was named a second team NSCAA All-American, was a first team All-South Region pick, and was selected the league's Player of the Year. Roberto Giménez was a second team All-South Region selection and earned CAA Rookie of the Year honors, while O'Connor was selected to the third team All-South Region.
In 2010, Hennessy guided the program to its first-ever appearance in the CAA tournament, earning the No. 4 seed. In the semifinals, the Hens forced double overtime against top-seeded William & Mary, which was also ranked No. 12 at the time, before falling 1-0. Delaware, which finished with a record of 6-9-3, landed a record four players on the all-conference team, including two second team selections in Jon Scheer and Frimpong.
O'Connor earned a third-team nod while freshman Vincent Mediate was tabbed as the programs first All-CAA Rookie honoree. The 2010 season also marked the most conference wins for the Hens under Hennessy, going 5-4-2, the first winning conference schedule for Delaware since 1996.
In his first season at Delaware, Hennessy made big strides in helping the Blue Hen men's soccer team return to respectability in the Colonial Athletic Association. His 2006 team posted an overall record of 6-8-2, the most wins by a UD team since 2001, and placed ninth in the CAA standings with a mark of 4-7, the program's best CAA finish since joining the league in 2002 and most league wins since 2001.
Along the way, the Hens defeated long-time CAA powers William & Mary and James Madison for the first time in school history and captured the season-opening Towson Tournament in September with wins over Loyola and Adelphi. Of the team's eight losses, five were by one goal or less.
In 2007, the Blue Hens posted a record of 3-13-2 and placed ninth in the CAA with a mark of 3-7-1, but the season consisted of six one-goal losses. Among the victories was a 2-0 win late in the season over league champion Old Dominion, which advanced to the third round of the NCAA Tournament and was ranked No. 19 nationally in the final NSCAA/Adidas Top 25 poll.
The 2008 season yielded similar results as Hennessy's Hens produced a record of 3-13-3 and 2-8-1 in the conference. Again Delaware was a competitive team despite its record. The team lost eight games by one goal and played in six overtime games. Among those overtime games was a 1-0 victory over conference-foe Virginia Commonwealth - the program's first victory in seven all-time meetings.
In 2009, Hennessy led his squad to a 7-12 season and a 4-7 CAA mark to place the Hens eighth in the 12-team league. The eighth-place finish was Delaware's highest finish since joining the conference in 2002, while the Hens' 23 goals scored served as the most since UD found the back of the net 25 times in 2004. Of UD's 12 losses, six times the Hens fell by one goal. Hennessy coached Darren Christie to a first team All-CAA accolade, while Kyle Davis earned ESPN The Magazine/College Sports Information Directors of America Academic All-America second team honors.
A native of Cork, Ireland, Hennessy earned his bachelor's degree from Seton Hall University in 1990 and earned his doctorate in molecular biology from Columbia University in 2001.
He began his collegiate coaching career as an assistant at Rutgers in 2001, leading the Scarlet Knights to a 15-7-3 record, a No. 9 final national ranking, a No. 1 ranking in the Mid-Atlantic region, and a berth in the NCAA Sweet 16. He then moved on to Boston College where he served as an assistant to head coach Ed Kelly for four seasons.
While at Boston College, the Eagles posted a combined record of 42-26-8, won the 2002 Big East title, advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight in 2002, and moved on to the NCAA Sweet 16 in 2004. Boston College spent numerous weeks in the national Top 20 during his tenure and moved as high as No. 6 during the 2002 season. The Eagles went 5-9-2 in their first year as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2005.
Hennessy has also coached the New Jersey Imperials in the Premier Developmental League and was an assistant for the New Jersey Stallions in the United Soccer League. He coached at the Player Development Academy in New Jersey before moving to Boston and has served as the Olympic Development Program head coach for the states of New Jersey and Massachusetts. He currently works as a Region I ODP staff member and also holds a USSF "A" coaching license.
As a player, Hennessy excelled at both the collegiate and professional level. A former Republic of Ireland Youth International, Hennessy was recruited to Seton Hall by then head coach Ed Kelly, and played four seasons in 1986-89, leading the Pirates to three Big East titles. He earned Big East Tournament Most Outstanding Player honors in both 1986 and 1987, scoring a goal in every Big East Tournament appearance, and earned a spot on the National Soccer Coaches Association All-American team in 1987.
He completed his career at Seton Hall as one of the school's all-time great players and still ranks among the school's all-time leaders in points (No. 2 with 134), goals (No. 2 with 52), and assists (No. 4 with 30). He was inducted into the Seton Hall Athletics Hall of Fame on Feb. 9, 2006.
He began a 12-year professional playing career with the Boston Bolts of the American Pro Soccer League in 1990-91, played with the United States Indoor Soccer League's New York Fever (1993-94) and New Jersey Stallions (1995-96), was a member of the Major League Soccer's New York/New Jersey MetroStars in 1996-97, and played for the Connecticut Wolves of the A-League in 1997-98. He also played for the Reading Rage of the United Soccer League.
Hennessy and his wife, Danielle, have two daughters, Mackenzie and Kyra.

Science and Technology minister Prof Makame Mbarawa is one of the members of President Jakaya Kikwete's cabinet who survived Friday's reshuffle.
He has retained his portfolio, and should now be comfortable enough to oversee the overhaul of the 2003 national Information and Communication Technology policy he shed light on last week.
Addressing an ICT stakeholders meeting in Dar es Salaam called to kick-start the process, the minister said present-day realities pose daunting challenges for humankind while also opening up golden opportunities for those ready to march with the times.
He elaborated on the benefits and demands of today's globalised world, chiefly as relates to the degree to which science and technology are making it possible for communities as well as entire countries and nations to talk to each other and to one another much faster and more intelligibly and profitably than was the case in eras gone by.
We wonder whether the good professor could have presented his case any better and more effectively, given the social, economic and other miracles the world has witnessed mainly thanks to scientific and technological innovations.
His warning that Tanzania could find itself lagging further behind many other parts of the world unless it moved faster in catching up on the S & T plane is well worth heeding if we are indeed serious about emulating developed countries with respect to genuine progress in education, health, agriculture and al other sectors.
This is especially relevant during these times when our catchwords of choice are associated with our resolve to have a firmer industrial base, a modern agricultural sector, greater ability to process our agricultural produce, schools, colleges and universities as reputable as could be found anywhere on the globe, enough of our own medical specialists, engineers and various other experts, etc., etc.
As is well known, it is decades now since donor fatigue began setting in – effectively meaning that we were slowly but surely being weaned off financial and other forms of handouts from the donor community. The process is still raging with a vengeance and we have no option but to work harder and better if we are to be anywhere near making our dreams about realising the Millennium Development Goals come true.
Yes, some donors are still directing funds and other forms of support into national development initiatives such as Kilimo Kwanza, Mkukuta, Mkurabita and disease control programmes, but little of this assistance will likely last much longer.
The lesson we learn from these scenarios is none other than the urgent need for us to translate the natural and other resources we are endowed with into real wealth to help us become as minimally dependent on outside assistance as possible.
Making greater use of the benefits of ICT is surely part of the recipe for success, and Prof Mbarawa's remarks point to the right direction. But who doesn't know that our country has a plethora of national policies – on youth, children, senior citizens, people with disabilities, education, the environment, etc. – but few are really implemented to satisfaction?
Things have changed. It's rough and tough times we are living in. We must get working more seriously.

School emergency drills have moved beyond the duck-and-cover exercises of the Cold War era. Today's drills practice brace students for the presence of armed intruders.
The shooting of 20 first-graders and six adults in Newtown, Conn., has school administrators reviewing and practicing their own emergency plans.
Most states began to require district emergency management plans after the 1999 shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo. Data compiled by the Education Commission of the States shows preparations vary widely.
On Wednesday, an intruder drill at Cary-Grove High School in Illinois featured the sound of gunfire from a starter pistol. Parents were alerted prior to the drill, and many were outraged over the gunfire simulation.
A school spokesperson said they worked closely with police on the drill plan.
An October drill at Howe Hall in South Carolina saw victims fall with fake wounds.

Welcome to Fylingdales Moor
Fylingdales Moor Conservation Area covers about 6,800 acres (2,750 ha) of moorland in the North York Moors National Park. The aim of the management for the moor is to create a nationally important haven for wildlife and archaeology.
A former grouse moor, the land is now managed by the Hawk and Owl Trust to enhance wildlife, preserve archaeological remains and demonstrate the environmental benefit and sustainability of traditional moorland management techniques. Walks on the Moor Self-guided walks and trails are available. Download the Stoupe Brow Heritage Trail leaflet here, or visit the North York Moors National Park website to download a longer walk on Howdale Moor and Brow Moor, including Stoup Brow and views over Robin Hood's Bay. Hawk and Owl Trust has also devised a waymarked nature trail over access land at Jugger Howe Moor. The trail starts and finishes at the Jugger Howe layby off the A171 between Whitby and Scarborough (Grid Reference NZ 944002). Click Here to download this map. Please note that you cannot walk the full trail route with a dog, as dogs are not allowed off rights of way on this access land. Care should be taken to stay away from heather burning operations if they are being conducted in the area (heather burning is carried between 1 October and 31 March). Access to the Moor The moor is open access land, with footpaths. Car parking is marked on the map. A half-hourly bus between Scarborough and Whitby stops at the Flask Inn, on the A171 (see sketch map below). Use an OS map, beware changeable weather and dress for the conditions. Unauthorised vehicles are not permitted. Download our Fylingdales leaflet | Click Here Feel like exploring the wildlife of Fylingdales? Check the Fylingdales events page to see what guided walks we have planned. On these walks, specialists lead visitors to the best place to find the wildlife, plants and insects that are such a feature at particular times of year. Photographed above is a group heading out to search for some of the entrancing butterflies of the moor and valley floors.
And it isn't just the wildlife that visitors tramp the uplands to view. Fylingdales Moor's long and fascinating history may not be immediately apparent. However under the guidance of an archaeological expert the tell-tale signs of ancient human settlement on the moors becomes clear, as well as some of the remains from more recent conflicts, such as World War II. Every summer a team of volunteers led by archaeologist Blaise Vyner and assisted by Steve Sherlock excavate at Stoupe Brow; the site was razed to the ground during the wildfire in September 2003. In the picture above the public are being shown the excavations.

The long-running fight in Maine over whether all motorcyclists should be required to wear helmets resumed this afternoon in front of the Legislature's Transportation Committee in Augusta. Current law says only riders or passengers under the age of 18 have to wear them. But a new bill would extend the requirement to everyone operating, or riding on, a motorcycle. As Jay Field reports, the measure is provoking sharp debate between public health advocates and cyclists.
Rep. Paulette Beaudoin, a Biddeford Democrat, is sponsoring the bill, known as LD 66. Besides requiring all motorcyclists and passengers to wear helmets, the bill would hit riders with a fine of up to $500 if they're caught on a bike without one.
Nineteen states and the District of Columbia have universal helmet laws. The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, Beaudoin noted, recommends that all states take this step.
"Head injury is the leading cause of death in motorcycle crashes," she said. "The administration estimates that motorcycle helmets reduce the likelihood of a crash fatality by 37 percent."
Beaudoin says the law is also needed to cut down on all the non-fatal accidents that result in traumatic brain injuries.
"I have heard the slogan, 'We ride, we decide!'" Beaudoin said. "The problem is the decision not to wear a helmet goes beyond choosing to feel the wind in your hair. Who pays for the medical expenses for brain injuries because someone wasn't wearing a helmet?"
According to the Brain Injury Information Network of Maine, studies show that just over half of all motorcyclists have private health insurance. Marcia Cooper is a coordinator with the group. "For those without private insurance, most of those costs of their medical care are paid by us, the government," Cooper said.
These arguments, though, didn't sit well at all with the many motorcycle enthusiasts who showed up in Augusta to testify. Joshua Herndon drove down from Dexter.
"First, I would like to say that I am not against wearing a helmet or any other safety equipment. However, I am against my government mandating that I wear such equipment," he said.
But Herndon says riders are objecting to more than a potential violation of their personal freedom by the goverment. He says riders can also point to data to back up their belief that helmets don't make the kind of difference that advocates say they do.
A federal survery, for example, showed that a little over 4,000 died in motorcycle accidents in 2010. Herndon says 58 percent of those killed were wearing helmets, while 42 percent were not. And late last year, he notes, the National Transportation Safety Board removed motorcycles from its list of most-watched transportation problems.
"I believe that a comprehensive approach to rider training and motorcycle safety and awareness programs are largely responsible for the NTSB's actions, not mandatory helmet laws," Herndon said.
If Maine really wants to make the road safer for cyclists, Herndon says it could start by adding motorcycle safety curricula to the state's defensive driving course.

Schools in Onslow County will have a new way to communicate with parents starting next month.
Right now the school district calls and e-mails parents to alert them about emergencies or important messages. Starting December 4th, the school will send text messages too. Its all in an effort to quickly get the word out to parents about their kids.
"If I were in a meeting, with my child being in a school, and I can't necessarily get up and get out of the meeting, but you can at least read a text message without a lot of disturbances. I do think a lot of people will be interested in using it, " said Suzie Ulbrich
with Onlsow County Schools.
If you are a parent interested in getting the text messages you have to sign up. Just send a text. Write "yes" to 68453.

- Abstract
- Distributed workflow technology has been widely used in modern education and e-business systems. Distributed web applications have shown cross-domain and cooperative characteristics to meet the need of current distributed workflow applications. In this paper, the author proposes a dynamic and adaptive scheduling algorithm PCSA (Pre-Calculated Scheduling Algorithm) for a distributed student registration system in a transaction-intensive environment. In this algorithm, every workflow application is pre-calculated before deployed into the workflow engine to create priority lists for solution generating. The simulations illustrate that the algorithm has a preferable efficiency and fits the needs of the distributed student registration system.

The Limousine is a vehicle featured in Grand Theft Auto 1 and can be found in Liberty City, San Andreas, and Vice City. The Limousine has several variations; in Liberty City there is only a blue Limousine, in San Andreas there is a red version as well as a blue version with a dragon design painted on it (this is apparently used by the Yakuza), and in Vice City there is only a red version of the Limousine. The Limousine's base model appears to be the Brigham.
- The vehicle was originally called Limo.

AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- Three women say they were chased around by a man with a machine gun in Aiken Thursday night.
Officers were called to the home on Union Street after a woman called dispatch saying there was a man in her home with a machine gun.
According to the incident report, Smith cursed at the officers and then approached them in an "offensive manner." Smith would not cooperate, so officers eventually had to use a stun gun on him until he could be handcuffed.
Officers said he appeared to be grossly intoxicated.
The women said Smith had been drinking all day and started arguing with them. He later went to the back of the home and allegedly retrieved a firearm, forcing the victims to retreat into a bedroom.
The victims said Smith told them they had 10 minutes to come out or he would start shooting. The women jumped out of the window to escape.
Smith heard them on the phone with 911 and walked outside without the weapon.
Officers say they found a rifle bullet in Smith's pants pocket and an AK-47 loaded with 23 rounds was found hidden underneath leaves on the property. The safety on the weapon was turned off.
Smith is charged with three counts of pointing and presenting a firearm, failure to comply with the lawful order of a PSO and gross intoxication.
Investigators say he has an extensive criminal history, dating all the way back to 1971 and is considered to be a felon.

The time has come. Ash faces off against Byron in a 3-on-3 gym battle. Hopefully he'll fair better with Byron than he did with his Gym Leader son: Roark back in the Oreburgh City Gym. For now, Ash has a score to settle with a whole team of Steel-type Pokemons including Byron's main pokemon: Bastiodon. Will Ash be able to burn away at Byron's Steel-type defenses, or will Ash get his type strategy rusty during the battle?
- Ash's win against Byron is similar to his win over Jasmine in many ways.
- Jasmine's badge (Mineral Badge) was the sixth badge Ash obtained in Johto while Byron's badge (Mine Badge) was the sixth badge Ash obtained in Sinnoh.
- Both Byron and Jasmine were defeated in the 108th episode of their region.
- Both Gym Leaders specialize in Steel-type Pokemon and also use a Steelix.
- Byron's Steelix was defeated by Ash's Chimchar (the Sinnoh Fire-type starter) while Jasmine's Steelix was defeated by Ash's Cyndaquil (the Johto Fire-type starter)
- This episode marks Gliscor's first Gym Battle.

Nanny McPhee Sequel
Actually, it was released as "Nanny McPhee Returns," but that was a retitling for the U.S./Canada release. It aired in theatres in the U.K. as Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang. Seeing as it's the normal policy to use British titles for everything else here, I think it makes sense to use the British title for this as well. ProfessorTofty 04:27, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

A Question
Hi! I'm totally fine with this, but can I just ask the reason for the convention of writing "[Someone] was ..." as opposed to "[Someone] is ..." on the Harry Potter Wiki? As long as the person is still "alive" (as of the current time in the Harry Potter universe) I see no reason to refer to them in the past tense. Thanks in advance, and sorry in anticipation of any noobness I may exhibit in this post. Aaronsclee 04:41, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
Since your an administrator, and since Cavailar One is not responding, can you please unprotect the page "Draco Malfoy's wand".

Article Nymphadora Tonks
In this article is written that Sirius is Nymphadora's uncle. In the summary you gave: She and Sirius are cousins once removed; he would be her uncle if he and Andromeda were siblings. I'm not sure if you wrote the text or only forgot to revert the text, but the child of my cousin is my great-cousin and I am his/her great-cousin and not the aunt or - in this case - the uncle. I thought I should contact you first. Harry granger Talk contribs 17:37, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

So, in addition to my previous request I would like you to consider what I said and if you think it's good enough can you please do the computations yourself etc. etc. Thank you very much and more power to you!

r u the 41 year old virgin (Neville Potter 06:32, February 2, 2012 (UTC))
Could I just ask when in the year the Hogwarts acceptance letter is posted? On it is 'We await your owl by no later than July 31', so it is before then. But is it when the student turns 11, or a set date before the 31st? And if it is the latter, does the student have to be 11 before the letter is posted, 31 July, or 1 September? Its just that this would affect the possible earlier and latter birthdates of minor video game characters, which is bugging me for some reason. Thanks in advance! aaronsclee (talk) 07:50, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

I really feel bad for them and I hope they win the World Series if the Red Sox don't. You should find it easier with Theo Epstein though.
Duplicated links
In an article, we only have one link to other articles, right? For example, on the Harry Potter page, there are many mentions of Ronald Weasley. We don't, however, link to that article every time Ron is mentioned. But what are the exceptions to this? In the Harry Potter article, Voldemort is mentioned in the quote at the top. But do we put the one link to the Tom Riddle page there and nowhere else? Because many people skip the quote and go straight to the article and would miss the link. What are the conventions for the placement of links? Thanks! aaronsclee (talk) 06:49, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

British Dates
Hilariously - to me anyway - I've always thought that UK English (which I've used all my life) wrote dates out the way they were spoken. Ie; "The 7th of March", and that something like "7 March", or "March 7" was a distinctly American thing. *facepalm* —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Derpherpherp (talk • contribs).
- Oh no, I actually wiki-ed it and apparently as it is, it's correct. My way is apaprently reserved for the "most formal" occasions. Some quirk of UK English as used by Australians, I guess. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Derpherpherp (talk • contribs).

So sorry to bother you, and I know we don't really talk much. However, it is rather annoying to be constantly logging in whenever I attempt to edit an article (recently I have only been doing so to remove fanon and to add information from Pottermore and such valid websites (which I am usually late at doing anywho) rather than my vandalising ways of the past). My annoyance and aggrievance were indeed a good price to pay for having done such wretched things to this website. I ask, thus, for you to please allow me to add information and resource to this wiki using my IP Adress; I promise you that I will not add any content that is disagreeable or in any way incorrect, the way I have done in the past.
Wishing you an excellent evening (and night), and hoping you the best in days to come,

If the simple past is policy, why, in the "Defensive Magical Theory" entry, is Dolores Umbridge's opinion presented in the present? Also, where might one find a comprehensive rendering of all appropriate protocols and specifications of this nature? Thanks, Alex Jiskran (talk) 22:52, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
No, I was referring to the passage you rolled back. I shall copy the relevant lines here.
and the fact that Dolores Umbridge approves of the book, it can be assumed that Defensive Magical Theory discourages the use of any defensive magic that could be used aggressively. Hermione Granger strongly disagreed
It was this fluctuation which I was, inappropriately, endeavouring to iron out. Alex Jiskran (talk) 23:09, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Just an Idea
Hi im a long time fan of the wiki and wanted to say its awesome and wondered if it would be possible to contribute. I noticed on the various character pages there are i guess what i would call issues with the organization and wording in the magical abilities sections. Namely the common name of a branch of magic is given instead of simply stating the characters level of skill in the area. Such as on McGonagall's page as a point of reference. At the top of that section it gives a intro with much of it being whats echoed in other entries located below it. Heading it under Magic Mastery and using the first sentence alone would be fine unless more overview is needed and then making everything else a subheading under it. Secondly there is the term underage magic. The issue is noting that she was capable of underage magic when she was underage which she is long pass. Its relevant to her history (which is stated in her history section), but currently has nothing to do with who she currently is and probably should be stated under a subheading like 'Inherent Magical Aptitude'. Then Transfiguration while its basically stating it on her page as though we are referring to the branch of magic itself. While agree it should link there its not really focusing on her personal skill. I would state it to be "Transfiguration Master". Then theres a heading that says martial magic which is odd causes its not used on most other pages as well theres also defense against the dark arts and dark arts. Neither specifying outright her skill just simply acting as another link to those pages. Noting her skill in the dark arts such as "dark arts expert" and then considering how the defense of the D.A. and offensive magic is both martial simply stating her to a master duelist would be far easier then separate categories saying the same thing over again. The theres no definition of charm skill and patronus charm is separate from charm entirely instead of subheaded under it, making it seem as though they are unrelated branches of magic. Logical thinking and leadership seem to be more abilities then anything magic so should be separated from magic section and wandless and nonverbal are two separate concepts yet they are lumped together. The last point is there is alot of stating within the section of how skilled a character is but then downplaying the skill with however she/he had help from so and so or Voldomort was using the elder wand without full mastery of it. I get that is what occurred but i dont see how it detracts from that characters personal skill and therefore shouldnt be stated as if it does otherwise it defeats the purpose of stating what they are capable of. Thank you for reading my long post here. If possible i would show you what i mean on McGonagall's page in the magical abilities section and if you choose to disagree and are not interested in my input in this regard, well thanks for your time none the less. -Salubri (talk)

Media section
Really? Oh, wow. Then we've got a major problem, then, because that section has been added to a lot of different articles, including Harry Potter to name just one example, and I can see there that it's causing many of the references to not show up on that one as well. Okay, don't do anything else. I'm going to contact Gcheung28 and see if he knows of a way to solve this without removing that, because this is a serious bug that could be affecting other wikis as well. This is something that was added officially by Wikia, and I don't want it to be removed if we don't have to. ProfessorTofty (talk) 04:19, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Never mind, I fixed it. It was just a bit of bad coding within the gallery that was causing the issue. Really small thing that ended up causing a big problem. ProfessorTofty (talk) 04:30, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, though this still may be happening on some other articles, so if you want to try to find and fix them, that could help. I just fixed it up on Harry Potter, but it actually doesn't seem to be happening on Ronald Weasley that I can tell, despite that same coding. Currently searching for others. ProfessorTofty (talk) 04:37, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
Linked text bunching together
I see from one of your recent edit summaries that this bothers you as well. Just thought you'd be interested to know that I did some testing in the sandbox, and I'm pretty sure it's a combination of poor editing practices and a bug in the visual editor that causes this, not intentional malice on the part of a vandal. If, in the visual editor, an editor accidentally places the next word of a sentence directly next to a link likethis, it will grab the word next to it as well when that page/section is edited again, and so on until you get a mess like you just fixed on Ron's article. I'd report this bug to Wikia, but, in my experience, that doesn't help all that much. -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 18:08, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

How are you going to be using this? Are you going to have the walls transparent? It's probably best to post jpgs as the attachments - that seems to be the standard.
It's a great adventure to take a fist shot at PS with. At the moment I'd say that the textures are overwhelming the structure of the map a little. I'm finding it hard to read the different elevations. Also, I can't remember what's in the middle of the room. It looms like ice from the texture that you've got there. Is that what it's supposed to be?

Cash stolen from store safe at Hobby Lobby
Published: Friday, May 10, 2013 at 4:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 10, 2013 at 4:44 p.m.
An Ocala store was burglarized and cash was removed from a safe, which was discovered by employees Thursday.
Ocala police officers believe a burglar or burglars entered Hobby Lobby at 2400 SW College Road by removing a portion of an air conditioning unit on the roof and then sliding into the building through the duct system.

An Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission panel meeting today in Portland, Maine, is scheduled to determine whether to have a moratorium on shrimp fishing this winter.
Commercial fishing regulators are meeting today in Maine to determine the dates of the upcoming northern shrimp season - or if there will even be a season. An Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission panel (above) is meeting in Portland.
In an assessment of the shrimp population, an Atlantic States Marine Fisheries committee is calling for a moratorium on shrimp fishing moratorium this winter. Maine's Marine Resources Commissioner Patrick Keliher says he hopes it won't go that far.
"I don't support a 'no season,'" he says. "I think we're at a point where we can take a do no harm approach and still allow a small fishery to take place. I mean we're talking about a couple of hundred boats, a couple of hundred families, and shoreside infrastructure. It's important to the state of Maine."
Last year about 90 percent of the New England shrimp catch was landed in Maine. If a season is allowed, the committee says it shouldn't start until at least half of the shrimp have hatched their eggs, typically around mid-February.
Shrimp provide a small, but valuable, fishery for fishermen.
