London Country Journal (Newspaper) - July 19, 1735, London, Middlesex f � � . 0 It, THE y...... By CALEB B*AN VERS, tf: Gr^y*s-Imn, JE$; SATURDAY, Juty 15?, i;3> Remarks on the Daily Gazetteer ofWednefday the 9th Jnfiant, relatingto the Cafe of .the j N E of the minifterial Confederates, or perhaps the'Minijler Mimjelff hath at- length given us a, Glofs upon the memorable Affair of the Bank Contract ; which is fo mean a Piece of Prevarication, that I might be eafily excusVL front talcing any Notice of it j but when I confider Importance of the Thing itfelfy aadhow many Thousands of innocent Families were utterly ruined by it, I cannot let it pafs without fome farther Explanation. The Author -of this Paper, now under Confideiafckm,' Bath riot confinM Himfelf to the Gale, of the Bank-Contract, but rambled into Several-Reflexions on Hie Rife .jatd. Progrefs of the South-Sea. Scheme in general; and there-? fore I fhall premife Something on the fame ffead. He tells us that the'honourable Terfon, who fiands charged with this infamous TranfaSHop, " was always.anEnemy � to the Soutb&ea Schemethat He oppos'd' it, when it ?' wasJrftproposed; -law the Mifchief, that it was big ** with; and avoided all Dealings and Tr-aftick in it. -- But This is fo fax from being true, that it hath been already proved, in the Cafe of the jinking Fund, and upon fevers] o-, ther Occasions, that nobody contributed more to the Ca-. lamitiesof thofe Times, or turn'd thero more to his .own Advantage^ than'the honourable Gentleman Himielf,' how-� ever He may how think.fit to deny it, or endeavour to diiguife it.. ;. �:- . . "t. I[v&e firft Pkce, it ought to .fce remembered that He prapofed a Scheme, in the Yeaufc^ijifi, whilft He was in a Place of greatPower, payu^glpiF th>; national. Debts,- by feeing in theIrredeemables upon his own Terms; which Jh-uckatrthe. Foundation of.a�-^#f� Faith in fiich a Manser, that it ra^'d a general Cla^W amongft th&'Propriel tors, and'even his good FriendVs6| the Bank were the lou-* deft in it But farther. Does He think that We have forgot his t%v.o notasle Schemes, much about/the Jame Time ; one, for ingrafting the wholeCapital of� the Barii into: the Southfea. Company, \valuing the;, hiier-at 600 I* per jsjfent; the other, fir tonfolidating the three great Companies into one, and. .dividing- the Debts of the Nation among Them? Mr. J Trenchard treated the''Mjk:of-:-iheje'Bcbi&er-9&% Conspiracy to give**jp the whole Nation into theurHaSids.' I now come to the Point immediately in Dilute ; and, in order to fet it in s..true iaght, will be. neceffary to give the Reader a ihbrt State of;thet-afe;jas it i^ds between the Cffg/^r^r'and theAuthor^ of'the Cafe of the Jinking Fund. V .. . The former tells us that, upon th* ftrft Appearance of a general Diftrefs, in the Year if.2&, die honourable Gentleman, || " was font for up out of die Country ;- and as He " was then thought to have fome Credit with the Bank, " He was defir'd to exert it in Behalf of the Southfea Com-" pany, by prevailing, on the Batik to circulate a Number "of their Bopds. It is farther acknowledg'd, v-"jdid accordingly come up to Town, and- had a Meeting " with a Committee of each Company, at the Poftrtnafter-" GenerdPs'Hou{e,' in the Prefence offeveral other Gentle-- men in the Admniftration. v That, after fome'Hoursfpent in Conference at this "- Meeting, the Bank was prevaiPd upon to yield; and " that it was then thought proper to have fomething re-" due'd .into Writing, as & Minute of the Subftance of " what had been under Corifideration, and to ferve as a "Foundation of s. future Agreement, or Contrast, to be " made between the two Companies. " That there was fome little Difpute,; who fhould write " down, or draw the Minute j but it being the general " Defire that Mr. W--- fhould do'it, in thePjefence-of " the whole Meeting, He put down in Writing, what hath �'.- ever fince befinoU'd, the Bank Contract. The Confident,then gives us- a Copy of this. Minute, as He caU^Ht}; which is, indeed, a very jntyerfeli Draught, that the honourable Perfon Soon after Thh, ^honourabkGentkmm^ or Preamble to it, and the mqft from his Employments,- another Scheme was prpgbfed by ables only-i which being confiftent witix Parliamentary. Credit, the Bank and South-Sea, Company hot only confenteq. to a 'Reduftibn of their own Inter eft� but enabled the Pub* lick to reduce above nine.Millions, more to 5 per Cent, by engaging to advance four Millions and an half, between Them, if it fhould be wanted, for redeeming and paying off the Lottery Ails of the 9th and ioth of Queen Anne, and the Banker's Debt. Let the World therefore judge which .was the -moft equitable Scheme ; That, which was projected by the honourable Gentleman, and prov'd abortive / or That, which was afterwards proposed, and took Effeft. It is true, indeed, that the fame Gentleman, being ftill outof Power, oppos'd the South-Sea Company's Proppfel, in the Year 1719, and fpirited. up the Bank to bid againft Them i but This is fo far from proving- that He was al-. mays an Enemy to the Scheme itfelf, that it is aft Argument *� the contrary, and implies the i&ongeft Approbation of it. The only Conteft was, who fbould have we Execution, of ibis Scheme; and Bank-Stock being, at that Time, confide-sably higher than South-Sea, the former were perfiiaded that They coald afford more for it than the latter. Every-Body kaovfs that the Bank actually bad five MilBoKS for it; which was more by three Millions and an half than the Sodth-Sea Company offered at.firit; but as all Competitions, of this Nature, are apt to run into Extravagance, They �Were at laft induced to hid fet1 en Millions�, rather than let die Bank have it. This gave Rife to the general Tnfatua-tion> which afteiwards preyaiFd amongft all Ranks of Peor pie, from the vain Hopes of exorbitant .Advantages, and bid-the Foundation of all the Calamities, which enfiied upon th Execution, of the South-Sea Scheme ; for admitting of as much Mifmanagement in it as thefe Writers pleafe, I believe, nobody will pretend to deny that the. ill Succefs of . it was, in a great Meafure, owing to the Madnefs of the Timci, and the monftreius Premium They contracted to* give for it j or to aflert that We fhould have been in a much better Condition, if the Bank had prevail'd, inflead k of the South-Sea Company. Hqw therefore can it be kid, ^7ith any Colour of Truth, Reafon; or Juftice, * that ike honourable Gentleman is Ttot refponfible for any Sondifea- Tranfatfim-of the Tear 1720 i when it appears'that He .blew up the Coals qfCort: tention between the tzuo Companies, which occafion^d all the fubfequent Misfortunes; efoecially, if it fhoijd be true, as We are given to a'nderftahd in the f Cafe of the . Jinking Fund, that the Bank .did not deftff from, bidding gaihft the Southfea Company, till He 'found his private Ad-vantage in engaging Them to do it ? material Articles "being left blank. - He-teHf^sr that this feting was on;, die 19" th -of Sept. 1720 ; and then adds the following AfFertiori. f *f " This is all1 that was wrote by Sir R.' W-at " this or any other Time, relating to this Affair i and t " have been afTur'd, in the- future Meetings upon this Bu-" He.was never once prefent. . � \ On the other Hand, it is afferted, by the. Cafe-Writer, "that there was another Meeting upon ibis Bu* " Jinefs'i four Days after ; viz. on Friday Sept, 23 j. that " the.honourable^ Gwl/m^ was prefent at. thisJAeeting, and drew up another Paper, between.thetioo-Companies; " which had not only a Title, but the Blanks were filled up, and the Bank exprefly agreed to fubferibe their Capital Stock of 3,775,0001., into the Southfea Company at 400 /, per Cent; with fome other particular Articles between them. - The Author of the Cafe, hath given us a Copy of this Paper, which He fays was always called the Bank Contract, and even affures Us that th Original was then lying beforeHini, 'in Sir' R.

Pros: +city building
Cons: -4 player multiplayer...requires a good connection unless you play LAN
Other Thoughts: another downside to this game is the lack of people playing this online. but it's not really the game's fault, so I don't think it should be a CON.

|On Wednesday, Mariano de Beer, general manager of Microsoft Brazil, announced that Microsoft and the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, have deployed Detecta, an intelligent system for monitoring crime.
The governor of the Brazilian state of São Paulo, Geraldo Alckmin, has deployed Detecta, an intelligent system of crime monitoring for use in his jurisdiction. This tool, jointly developed between Microsoft and New York City, uses cutting-edge technology to improve police work. In New York City, this technology has been used for counter-terrorism efforts, as well as other types of crimes. This is the first time that the tool will be used outside of New York City. The first results of the deployment are expected to be seen four months after implementation.
Detecta unites the most modern technologies in the area of computing: Big data (which stores and processes large amounts of information) and business intelligence (which allows data processing for specific pre-determined purposes).
In the same way that modern search engines operate on websites, this system indexes large amounts of police information and creates automatic associations between the data. For example, a suspect flees in a red car and only part of the license plate is known. With that information, the system can be configured to locate all vehicles with that partial license plate number that share the same color, and display the locations on a map. The nearest police patrol car will also be alerted about the incident.
To find out more about Detecta, head over to The Official Microsoft Blog.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The man killed by Salem police early Monday has been identified as 22-year-old Dru Garret Larson.
The Marion County district attorney's office says the autopsy by the state medical examiner showed he died of police gunshot wounds.
The Statesman Journal reports (http://bit.ly/r3pmkP ) his mother and sister went to the intersection Tuesday night where police said they fired because the driver of a stolen car put them in imminent danger. Police have not released details. Witnesses said the driver put the car in reverse toward officers.
The family says Larson grew up in Tillamook and graduated from Tillamook High School in 2007. They say he had struggled with methamphetamine addiction but had been clean for three weeks.
He had about 10 misdemeanor convictions in Marion, Polk and Tillamook counties.

Space-optimized instant snapshots record changed regions in the original volume to a storage cache. Space-optimized snapshots consume storage and I/O bandwidth in proportion to how much data on the original volume is updated during a snapshot's life. The benefits of instant snapshots include immediate availability for use, quick refreshment, and easier configuration and administration. The use case talks about how to use space-optimized snapshots for replicated databases with Veritas Volume Replicator (VVR).

SEATTLE — The Oregon State Beavers — what was left of them, anyway — arrived at CenturyLink Field with a roster decimated by injuries.
When the Beavers looked into the stands and saw an overwhelmingly crimson-colored crowd of 49,219 eagerly awaiting their demise at the hands of Washington State, the task at hand grew even more challenging.
The Beavers rose to the challenge. Redshirt freshman quarterback Sean Mannion passed for 376 yards and four touchdowns, and true freshman running back
Malcolm Agnew ran for 103 yards and one touchdown to lead Oregon State to a convincing 44-21 triumph late Saturday night.
The Cougars trailed 24-14 at the half. They played the second half without quarterback Jeff Tuel, who was hit hard and clean by linebacker Tony Wilson immediately after throwing a pass late in the second quarter.
Washington State coach Paul Wulff said Tuel was "sore" in the area of his left shoulder, and the Cougars "don't envision it's serious." Tuel missed four games with a broken left collarbone.
Tuel completed 11 of 13 passes for 127 yards and one touchdown and also ran for a score. Marshall Lobbestael went 10 of 20 for 105 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in the second half.
"I don't know that we played a bad game," Wulff said. "I think they played a heck of a game … the best game I've ever seen them play."
The game was crucial to the bowl hopes of both teams. Oregon State improved to 2-5 overall and 2-2 in the Pacific-12 Conference. WSU, playing its "annual" home game in Seattle, fell to 3-4 and 1-3 after a third consecutive loss.
The Cougars visit ninth-ranked Oregon (6-1, 4-0) next Saturday. ROOT Sports televises the game at noon.
Mannion, who was recruited by WSU, made great passes and benefited from acrobatic catches by his receivers all night.
"He played a hell of a game," Wulff said.
Mannion finished 26 of 34 with one interception. That occurred when WSU cornerback Damante Horton ripped the ball out of the hands of Markus Wheaton in the end zone in the first quarter.
Agnew, playing in just his third game due to hamstring problems, ran hard and well behind an offensive line that dominated WSU's defensive line.
The Beavers finished with a 551-315 advantage in total yards. Oregon State gained early momentum by stopping WSU on fourth-and-1 on the game's opening drive.
Mannion went deep to Wheaton on Oregon State's first play from scrimmage and later hit Jordan Jenkins with a 31-yard screen pass for the first score.

No, that would be silly.
The concept of a pokemon is always evolving. A pokemon is what gamefreak and masuda says is a pokemon. There's a certain quality evident in all pokemon though, it's clear care and thought has been put into them.....even if I'm not personally keen on them. Call me when they reveal a black squiggle pokemon called "aqsprztygapff" and we'll talk about what doesn't seem like a pokemon.
We shouldn't expect to like every pokemon and we should recognise that a pokemon we don't like was just not made to appeal to us. Gamefreak have to try and please everyone with their designs and people's tastes are bound to clash with each other.

'Tis the Season: Immodest-Santa Painter Busy in Brooklyn
Columbia Street businesses like their Santas a little risqué.
No fewer than four food businesses in the Columbia Waterfront District have enlisted the services of a Christmas-crazed window artist with a penchant for tummy- or bummy-exposed Santas. Even Rudolph isn't safe from indecency; the reindeer has his hooves on some moonshine in a mural at the Coffee Den on Union and Hicks.

At a time when banks and bankers are lustily damned by Occupiers, tea partyers, politicians, farmers, businesspeople and ordinary account holders, Columbia Banking System CEO Melanie Dressel wants to make it clear: She's not one of those bankers.
At a time when banks and bankers are lustily damned by Occupiers, tea partyers, politicians, farmers, businesspeople and ordinary account holders, Columbia Banking System CEO Melanie Dressel wants to make it clear: She's not one of those bankers.
"A week doesn't go by when I don't get an email or a letter or a phone call — first of all, they're amazed that I answer my own phone — saying how much they love their bankers," said Dressel, who's held the top job at Tacoma-based Columbia since 2003. "We don't have 'evil bankers.' "
Dressel steered Columbia through the shoals and riptides of last decade's lending boom and bust, and over the past two years used the bank's relatively strong position to scoop up several smaller competitors.
"I thought if we could just reach $500 million [in assets] we'd be doing well," said W.W. "Bill" Philip, who led the bank's move into Pierce County and then ran the holding company until January 2000. "But it just grew and grew and grew."

Columbia Banking is now nearly 10 times that size.
Dressel's challenge is to manage a major regional institution without having it remind people of "some big, insensitive, out-of-state bank."
"We see ourselves as being a key factor in our communities — we want our business customers to be successful," she said. "We want people to achieve their financial goals, whether it's buying a car or sending a kid to college."
As Columbia has expanded across the region, so has Dressel's profile grown within the banking industry. She's a director of the American Bankers Association, one of only three women on the organization's board. The University of Washington-Tacoma's Milgard School of Business named her Business Leader of the Year for 2010. And last month, for the fourth time, she was named one of the 25 most powerful women in banking by American Banker.
Dressel, 59, brings a small-town sensibility to her job. She was born and raised in Colville, in Washington's northeast corner. Her parents owned a jewelry and gifts store there, where Dressel worked as a girl.
"I did everything from a lousy job of wrapping packages — gee, I was bad at that — to taking care of customers," she said. "In a small community, you get to know your customers really well. If someone comes in to buy jewelry, there's always a story behind that. It wasn't just like buying groceries or something — you get to know their likes and dislikes, and you become a part of their lives."
Dressel didn't see retail in her future, but neither was banking her first career choice. Rather, it was politics that stirred her early passions.
"I was going to be a political scientist, and I knew that from the age of 7," she said. "I remember, every four years, looking forward to the national political conventions." She enrolled at the UW because, at the time, it had one of the state's few graduate-level political-science programs.
By the time Dressel graduated in 1974, her plans had shifted toward law school. Her new husband was finishing up his business degree at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, and Dressel was looking for something to do until he graduated, when she expected to start applying to law schools.
So she took a job as a commercial real-estate loan clerk at the Tacoma branch of Bank of California (now Union Bank). "I was looking for something 9-to-5, Monday to Friday, and I thought, 'Banking — that seems like a good short-term thing.' "
Instead, Dressel spent the next 14 years at the bank in a variety of roles, from human resources to private banking (that is, personalized financial services for rich people). She left in 1988 to start up a private-banking operation for Puget Sound National Bank, Pierce County's dominant bank at the time.
When Puget was sold in 1993 to Key Bank, Dressel decided not to stay with the Ohio-based company. Instead, she planned to start her own financial-consulting business.
But the banking industry wasn't ready to let her go. Bill Philip, who had retired as Puget's CEO before the Key Bank sale closed, had joined tiny Columbia State Bank, then based in Bellevue. His mandate was to expand Columbia into Pierce County, and he reached out to Dressel.
"I harassed her to join us, and she did," said Philip, now 85. "She had the experience. She knew pretty much all the private-banking customers in Pierce County, so she was a natural. We all had fun getting the bank started, and she enjoyed working with her former clients and bringing them over to Columbia."
Dressel told Philip she'd stay at Columbia for a few months before starting her own firm, but "somehow six months has turned into 18 years." She rose rapidly at Columbia, becoming head of the bank in 2000 and of the holding company in 2003.
"She's a good administrator and has good people skills," Philip said. "She gets along well with the staff, the customers and the outside world."
Unlike many Washington banks, Columbia didn't overconcentrate its lending in real estate, which helped it come through the collapse of the mortgage bubble and ensuing financial crisis in fairly strong shape.
It acquired two failed banks last year and three so far this year; Columbia's asset base has grown from $3.1 billion at the end of 2008 to nearly $4.8 billion as of Sept. 30.
That growth, Dressel said, has strengthened Columbia and enables it to offer more services to its customers. But she acknowledges that, as more and more Columbia Bank branches pop up around the Northwest (it now has 104), it runs the risk of being seen as just another big bank.
"The really, really large banks — they have lines of business we'd never participate in — but we get lumped in with the very large banks," she said. "We didn't want people to have to give things up to come bank with us, but we still wanted to take care of people in a community-bank style, in terms of the care and attention they get."

Young people at Wesley House Thursday rehearsed to get ready for a play presentation.
The youth theatre group will be starring in "The Duchess, the Tea Party, and Tess", written by Anne B. McKee, Meridian playwright and teaching artist for the Mississippi Arts Commission roster.
McKee is also directing the play she wrote about ten years ago.
"If one child is inspired, one child, is inspired by anything of the performing arts, then it's worth our time to come out and work with them," McKee said.
McKee said the play teaches that what you see is not as important as what you feel in your heart.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this whole question asking thing so please be kind!
First i will give a little bit of background: My DH and I have been together for 5 years now- and this will be our first child My SIL is currently with her boyfriend of a year and a half, who has 4 kids from a previous marriage and they are having their first (and last) child together. She is 11 years older than me (big age gap between DH and her.) SIL and her boyfriend were TTC so her baby was 100% planned- on the other hand, DH and I weren't planning for kids for a few years but have been blessed early
She has always talked down to me, and just recently stopped referring to me in the third person in front of me. She is the type of person who always has to be right.
She has NEVER been a baby/kid person as far as i could EVER tell. She always refused to hold or even acknowledge anyone elses kids! I however, have been a nanny for 6 years to a family of 5 girls ages 1-10, one with downsyndrome. Before that i nannied for many other families- so caring for children has come naturally for me.
So, now that you have a little background here's the gist:
She talks to me like i am 16 and pregnant and have no idea what i am doing! (FYI i'm not 16) When we announced that we were expecting at 3 1/2 months along- she told me that i need to get an OB right away! LIKE i didn't already have one!!! She keeps telling me all of these things that are horrible during your 3rd trimester- pelvic pain, back aches, etc....like i was never aware of anything. And what i need for when baby arrives. It may sound like she is just offering friendly advice; but it's the TONE that she offers it in! SOOOO condescending! I just feel like i'm being treated like a little kid when it comes to her.
How do i get her to stop in a way that won't make it uncomfortable to be around her? I am two seconds from exploding and yelling at her!
sorry for being long-winded!

A federal judge Tuesday ordered a rural county in southwestern Mississippi to stop segregating its schools by grouping African-American students into all-black classrooms and allowing white students to transfer to the county's only majority-white school, the U.S. Justice Department announced.
WASHINGTON — A federal judge Tuesday ordered a rural county in southwestern Mississippi to stop segregating its schools by grouping African-American students into all-black classrooms and allowing white students to transfer to the county's only majority-white school, the U.S. Justice Department announced.
The order, issued by Senior Judge Tom Lee of the U.S. District Court of Southern Mississippi, came after Justice Department civil-rights-division lawyers moved to enforce a 1970 desegregation case against the state and Walthall County.
Known as Mississippi's cream pitcher for its dairy farms and bordering Louisiana 80 miles north of New Orleans, Walthall County has a population of about 15,000 people that includes about 54 percent white residents and 45 percent African-American residents, according to the U.S. Census.
For years, the local school board has permitted hundreds of white students to transfer from its Tylertown schools, which are about 75 percent African American and serve about 1,700 students, to another school, the Salem Attendance Center, which is about 66 percent white and serves about 577 students in grades K-12. The schools are about 10 miles apart.

Salem became "a racially identifiable white school while the student enrollment of the Tylertown schools has become predominantly black" because of the transfers, U.S. officials alleged in December, based on data from the 2007-08 school year, according to Lee's order.
At the same time in Tylertown four K-12 schools, "District administrators group, or 'cluster,' disproportionate numbers of white students into designated classrooms … resulting in significant numbers of segregated, all-black classrooms at each grade level," the judge wrote, summarizing the Justice Department lawyers' case.
The Walthall County School District did not file a response to the case, Lee wrote in approving the government's desegregation plan.
"More than 55 years after Brown v. Board of Education, it is unacceptable for school districts to act in a way that encourages or tolerates the resegregation of public schools," said Thomas Perez, U.S. assistant attorney general in charge of the civil-rights division, in a written statement.

Excellent photo!
It's one of those photos that beckons, "follow me". The Wall is obviously in rough condition here but it looks much more intact in the distance.
This photo also gives a good feel for the terrain which is often hard to show in an image compared to how it looks in real life. It really feels like I am standing there myself.
You are right. The wall is in much better condition on the western side of the river. On the western side the wall is made of brick but here only the stones remain.

Because of my size, it is virtually impossible to get a touring bike that fits. I've tried a Terry Classic, and felt almost immediate neck and wrist pain. My Terry Flora is the only bike that I've found that is comfortable for me, but it is meant as a shorter ride bike& uses two 24 inch wheels with 1.75 in tires.
1) what would be a good wheel & tire combo to use on mostly gravel roads?
2) Would I be better off with a hub generator or sticking with my SLA lighting system?

2015 Petals & Pathways Garden Tour
7 gardens in Sequim area (will call tickets can be picked up at Garden #1)
Sequim, WA
Share this event:
The 22nd Annual Clallam County Garden Tour will feature seven spectacular gardens.
Garden #1 is a 1.25 acre parcel that was bare and featureless when the homeowners built here nine years ago. Designed with year-round color in mind, a welcoming garden now reflects the talents of a creative partnership and a deep love of artful gardening. The property showcases a fire pit surrounded by native trees and a natural rock wall berm enhanced by a stream and pond. Pathways lead through intimate garden spaces enlivened by a stream and a pond. Throughout the garden, textures, shape, and form are complemented by art that includes works in wood, rusted metal, and stained and fused glass created by the homeowners, adding whimsy and charm.
Garden #2 is at the end of a long road and a circle drive where a property greets you with a beautiful grape arbor inviting you into the home entrance. The walkway has some unique stonework and numerous shade plants. But the treasurers lie hidden behind this home and past a beautiful gazebo. The rose garden includes sixty-one named roses so have your camera ready. Two other gardens will draw your interest with many dahlias and irises. A new compost area is ideal for the small home gardener. This "do it yourself" property will provide you with many ideas.
Garden #3 showcases how the home owner met the challenges of wind roaring across the Sequim Prairie and the lack of plant nutrients in wet clay soil. He uses multiple raised beds full of lush plantings. Plants and trees are creatively sited to strategically act as wind barriers. Rustic structures made of recycled materials not only add to the beauty of this garden, but also help to protect the garden from the wind. Unique yard art includes a water fountain made in the shape of a gunnera leaf that reflects the actual gunnera plant across the way. Seating throughout the garden provides places to relax and view this unique beauty.
Garden #4 was an unimproved five acre parcel purchased in 2000 as a place for the owners to visit on vacation. In 2012, the owners moved here and continued turning the property into the work in progress it is today. The many various gardens and paths are made up of native trees and shrubs, wildflowers, shade lovers, perennials, ornamental plants as well as abundant edibles. The gardens often have visits from elk, coyote, deer, bald eagles, and birds, along with the human guests. Enjoy the aptly named cottage garden, meditation trail, fountain garden, and waterfall beds just to name a few of the colorful and ever changing landscapes.
Garden #5 features a wraparound porch, filled with tubs and baskets of color, that provides comfortable seating and views to the strait and Victoria. In the garden below, a waterfall flows to a duck pond and gazebo. A woodland village of cabins includes a treehouse and protected home for the chickens. Two fenced garden spaces protect the fruit and vegetable plantings. Throughout, vintage garden equipment provides visual interest, and numerous seating areas invite you to relax and enjoy this tranquil 3.5-acre hillside garden.
Garden #6 presented the home owners with the challenge of stringent restrictions of working around a greenbelt on the county irrigation ditch. Careful design planning resulted in a beautiful meld of the greenbelt and the neighboring landscape. Using the down-slope, curved rivers of grass flow around large raised islands of plants. Drip irrigation lines water over 300 plants and trees. Red and gold accents abound with fifteen different Japanese maples, plum, red bud trees, and smoke bushes. Natural salal and red bark mulch complete the painting, with large rocks mimicking nature.
Garden #7, developed and planted by the homeowners, was designed to provide color throughout the growing season, from the earliest daffodils, through tulips, lilacs, flowering trees, rhododendrons, bearded iris, roses, summer perennials, and dahlias, culminating with lots of bright fall foliage. The rose garden and patio are enclosed by fencing to protect from the ever-wandering deer, as is a section of the garden dedicated to vegetables and fruit trees. Enjoy the view of Sequim and Vancouver Island as you meander throughout the various themed areas of the garden.

Address SoC routing congestion with 2.5D SiP
Posted: 05 Jun 2014 Print Version
Keywords:embedded systems System on Chip SoC System in Package SiP[Summary of tips] Not very long ago, embedded systems were made up of logic spread across multiple chips—for example, the CPU sub-system. Memory, the analogue components, and so on, were each on their own IC. The advantage was that each chip could be independently designed at its appropriate process technology node (90nm, 130nm, etc.).

About Sapphire
NHS Heywood
NHS Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale Primary Care Trust (The Trust) is at the heart of local health. The team works hard to improve the health and well-being of every person living within the Rochdale Borough. The Trust covers a population of 216,000, in 4 townships and 21 different wards.
The IT department at The Trust purchased SAP Business One a while ago, but did not implement it at the time. Alaine Rose, Service Support Manager, explained "In a short space of time we had quite a turnover of staff and people seemed to be afraid of using SAP, thinking – wrongly as it turns out – that the system would be too big. We implemented an Access database system instead, but this failed when it went live. As a result we decided that since we had SAP Business One, we should get it up and running."
The decision was taken to implement SAP Business One, primarily for the warehouse in order to have a proper stock control system for booking-in and booking-out of The Trust"s medical supplies, with limited use of the finance module.
"Once we had made this decision" said Alaine, "I called Sapphire who were fantastic. It was all very quick; someone came to see us from their local Manchester office and ran through with us what could be done with SAP Business One – without trying to convince us to buy costly additional bolt-on software, which we were impressed with."
One of the key product features that made SAP Business One the most appropriate fit for The Trust was Item Management. "95% of procurement is managed using the solution" said Emma Smith, IT and Asset Warehouse Manager, "Pretty much everything in the warehouse is controlled with SAP Business One; it used to be done manually using requisition books, so we are saving a lot of time now. We are able to tightly control everything: we can see who has what and where it"s gone. I find the queries I can run with SAP Business One are very useful – detailed information is available without my having to manipulate data. Also the options for reporting are fantastic – SAP Business One provides exactly what we need."
Emma surmised "SAP Business One is 100% better than the Access database – there is no comparison. We were really struggling to control the warehouse and inventory before."
"It"s a shame we didn"t think to use it sooner" added Alaine. "We"d be in complete turmoil now if we didn"t have SAP Business One in place."
The Trust was live with SAP Business One around 10 weeks from the time Alaine placed her call. "We had a tight budget which Sapphire worked within; focusing on the things we really needed to know about. The team at Sapphire did very well with the time that we had."
Emma went on to say "The set up of our solution was a bit unusual, since we don"t operate in the same way as a profit making organisation. For example sometimes we sell products for the same price that we buy them at." She continued "The Sapphire Consultant that provided our training during the implementation had endless patience with us. Now that we are using SAP Business One we wonder why we struggled with it, but during the initial training we felt it was a bit daunting, for example learning the terminology used in the system. When we went live we made very few calls to the Support desk, so we must have been well prepared!"
Now that SAP Business One is in place Emma and Alaine are very pleased with the benefits it is bringing. Many departments within The Trust buy their own items that are then stored in the central warehouse. Using SAP Business One Emma is able to give each department an instant report of what they have stored and who has what – compiling this information would have taken hours previously.
"Bearing in mind that SAP Business One isn"t specifically designed for what we use it for, it is doing a marvellous job" said Emma, "it is incredibly flexible and we are benefiting from improved organisation and practicality – we now have an overall view of all of the stock that we have, and we know exactly where each item is."
When asked about the current level of service received from Sapphire"s Support Team, Alaine said "We don"t need to speak to them very often to be honest, which shows that the training we had more than captured our needs. The Support Team Manager is very proactive; she will call us to see how we are getting on and sends us through any new documentation that we might need. We couldn"t ask for better."
Emma said "On the rare occasions that I do have queries, the way we use the system can be tricky to explain! If the Support Consultant doesn"t have an immediate fix, they will always find one then call me back."
"SAP Business One is actually pretty easy to use once you know how" Emma tells us, "I find having test systems in place useful for trying out new things and further customisation. Our unique use of SAP Business One really shows that it can be configured to fit any organisation – using a test system has allowed me to manipulate work-arounds to the "out of the box" set up of SAP Business One, without disrupting the live system or the risk of affecting our data."
The Trust uses HP Open View for controlling service support and delivery and has plans to link this system with their SAP Business One solution in due course. This will enable more staff to have a view of existing stock and items available for sale, thus further increasing operational efficiency at The Trust.
There are also plans in place to roll-out SAP Business One to more users and to additional departments in the longer term – "the more the better!" says Alaine.
To others reviewing their business management systems Alaine advises "Review what you already have and call Sapphire to see if it can be refreshed, perhaps with a bolt-on solution. Make sure you get proper in depth training from the word go so that you can make the optimum use of your system."
Of the working relationship with Sapphire, Alaine said "One of the things we like about working with Sapphire is that we don"t receive a lots of sales calls and our Account Manager isn"t constantly trying to "up sell" to us – it"s very refreshing."
Emma added "We get all of the information we need, regarding seminars and new releases for example, but we are not bombarded. We can always get hold of the team at Sapphire and the website and Sapphire Online Support sites are never down."
Alaine concluded "We are receiving absolute value for money. The system does what it says on the tin and more. Once you"ve got it, you wonder how you lived without SAP Business One; it can do almost anything you want it to."

Hakilitoyerela Group
They are on their 22nd loan with the Soro Yiriwaso microfinance, institution with the goal of meeting customer demand. All prior loans have been duly repaid.
Djatou, the first one seated on the right, is a member of the Hakilitoyerela group who cooks food for sale. She plans to use her loan to buy 200 kg [440 lbs] of rice, two loads of firewood and condiments (fresh tomatoes, cabbage, gourds onions, cucumbers, etc). She stocks up in Siekourani and in the nearby villages. She sells her cooked dishes by the paved road in Siekourani, every day and especially the days of the market, to a customer base composed of both men and women, for cash. She plans to earn an average monthly revenue of 90,000 West African Francs, a part of which will be used to pay off her loan with interest, and the other part for her savings. Her goal is to increase her sales volume and better meet customer demand.
Elles sont à leurs vingt deuxième prêt avec l'institution de microfinance Soro Yiriwaso afin de satisfaire le besoin de leur clientèle et tous les prêts passés ont été correctement remboursés.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

First Look at DC Rebirth Designs For Bizarro, Red Robin, Batman Beyond & More
Comic Books
Awards | Stephen Collins' The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil won the inaugural 9th Art Award, announced Sunday during the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Presented by Graphic Scotland, the prize recognizes the year's best English-language graphic novel. The other finalists were: Building Stories, by Chris Ware; Days of the Bagnold Summer, by Joff Winterhart; Naming Monsters, by Hannah Eaton; and The Nao of Brown, by Glyn Dillon. [9th Art Award]
Manga | Raina Telgemeier's comic about Barefoot Gen has attracted attention in Japan, where one city recently removed the manga from elementary-school classrooms, claiming it's too violent for children (the manga depicts the bombing of Hiroshima). "I was lucky to have adults in my life who were willing to discuss the violent subject matter with me, and help me put the story in historical context, and clarify things I might not yet understand," Telgemeier told The Asahi Shimbun. "After I finished volume 1 of Barefoot Gen, I was deeply upset. (But) as a child, I believed that if people simply saw what war was all about, they would take care that it wouldn't happen anymore." [The Asahi Shimbun]
Retailing | Naruto topped the May BookScan chart of graphic novels sold in bookstores, followed by two volumes of The Walking Dead, the latest volume of Sailor Moon, and Yen Press' latest Twilight adaptation New Moon. Just three volumes total of The Walking Dead made the Top 20 (down from eight last month), and as usual, DC and Marvel got clobbered: DC had three titles on the list (two volumes of Court of Owls and Watchmen) while Marvel had one (Hawkeye), and none was above No. 15. Or to put it another way: Vol. 14 of Dance in the Vampire Bund, a high-numbered volume in a fairly niche manga series, placed higher than every Big Two book on BookScan last month. [ICv2]
Creators | With the second issue of their digital-only comic The Private Eye recently released, writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Marcos Martin talk about their story, why they decided to do it digitally, and what the response has been so far. [The Verge]
As the trend accelerates toward publishing manga simultaneously in Japan and North America, Yen Press has scored a coup: This week, the company released the long-awaited 30th chapter of Highschool of the Dead digitally on the same day it came out in Japan.
That's big news for fans of the series, which follows a group of high-school students and their nurse through a zombie apocalypse. It's serialized in Dragon Age magazine but has been on hiatus for two years, which has given Yen Press time to catch up with the Japanese releases; the seventh volume was released in the United States in July.
Chapter 30 was published Tuesday in Japan, and Yen quickly made it available on a number of e-book platforms: iTunes Bookstore, Kindle, Nook and Google Play. Interestingly, they didn't put it in their app, although the first seven volumes are available there. UPDATE: Yen Press publishing director Kurt Hassler says that the chapter will be available in the app shortly.
Highschool of the Dead is one of Yen's more popular manga, so the decision to make the new chapter widely available at a reasonable price on release day makes an enormous amount of sense — especially with the long break since the last chapter. Thanks to Shonen Jump, there seems to be a mini-trend toward chapter-by-chapter, rather than volume-by-volume, releases. This makes a lot of sense, as that's how most series come out first in Japan.
Yen has also been releasing Soul Eater NOT simultaneously with Japan, within its monthly Yen Plus magazine.
Manga | Yen Press announced a number of new manga licenses over the weekend at SakuraCon, including the manga series based on the Square Enix game Kingdom Hearts. The company will re-release some of the manga originally published by Tokyopop and publish some of the newer series as well. [Anime News Network]
Creators | Christopher Irving interviews, and Seth Kusher photographs, The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman: "I am certain that I will never be able to top it, and I'm coming to grips with that. It's somewhat disconcerting that something I created when I was 23 will be something I'm remembered for when I die, when I'm 35 (or whenever it is). …I'll be 34 in a little bit, so I wasn't being too optimistic for myself."

Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.

If I had $15, my Wednesday haul would start with Glory #30 (Image, $3.99). This series has been great, and since Kris Anka began doing covers, it's gone to very great. Now, seeing New Yorker cartoonist Roman Muradov coming in to do a story makes it potentially even more, well, great. I'm psyched to see Glory face off against her sister, and Campbell's depiction of both has been mesmerizing. Next I'd pick up Comeback #1 (Image, $3.50), featuring letterer Ed Brisson making his major writing debut. The cover design by Michael Walsh is impeccable, and the concept of time traveling for grieving loved ones is a fascinating concept. Next up, I'd get a Marvel double – Wolverine and the X-Men #21 (Marvel, $3.99) and Hawkeye #4 (Marvel, $2.99). This carnie issue of Wolverine and the X-Men is intriguing; it's going out on a limb, but after what Jason Aaron and Nick Bradshaw have done so far, I trust them. With Hawkeye, I'm slightly hesitant to pick up an issue knowing David Aja isn't drawing it, but Javier Pulido has the potential to be an ideal temporary substitute.
If I had $30, I'd look back on my $15 and reluctantly put Hawkeye #4 back on the shelf to free up money for Derek Kirk Kim's Tune, Book 1: Vanishing Point (First Second, $16.99). Man oh man, do I love Kim's work, and seeing the previews for this online makes me see a honing of the artist's style akin to the way Bryan O'Malley did between Lost At Sea and Scott Pilgrim. Count me in.
If I could splurge, I'd take a chance on the anthology Digestate (Birdcage Bottom Books, $19.95). I'm no foodie like C.B. Cebulski, but I like food and I like anthologies so this is right up my alley; especially when the chefs include Jeffrey Brown and Liz Prince. Where's my order?
Welcome to What Are You Reading?, our weekly look at the comics, books and other things we've been perusing of late. Our guest today is Tyler James (@tylerjamescomic), the publisher of ComixTribe, which is both an online resources for comic creators and a new creator-owned imprint. Tyler is also the writer of the superhero murder mystery The Red Ten, which goes on sale Dec. 19, and the organizer of the annual 30 Characters Challenge, in which writers and artists attempt to create 30 characters in just 30 days, one for every day in November (it's under way now at 30characters.com).
Here's what Tyler and the Robot 6 crew are reading this week:

For once, I'm doing this in semi-reverse order. Or, at least, I'm starting with my would've-should've splurge, anyway, because if I had the money to spare, I'd definitely pick up the Invisibles Omnibus HC (DC/Vertigo, $150). Yes, I've read the comics before, and yes, I own all the trades. And yet … I really, really wish I could own this book. In another world, I am rich enough for that to happen.
Back in the real world, my first $15 pic is very easy: Mark Waid and Chris Samnee's Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom #1 (IDW Publishing, $3.99); both creators are at the top of their games these days, as demonstrated in Daredevil on a regular basis, and so seeing them both take on Dave Stevens' classic character feels like the kind of thing I will happily sign onto. Similarly, the first issue of the new Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Spike spin-off (Dark Horse, $2.99) automatically gets a pick-up, based on the quality of both the core Buffy and spin-off Angel and Faith books alone.
If I had $30, I'd add Prophet Vol. 1: Remission TP (Image Comics, $9.99) to my pile. I dropped off the single issues for this early on, because I wasn't digging it as much as I wanted to, but enough people have told me that I'm wrong that I'm coming back to check out the collection — especially because (a) Brandon Graham and (b) that price point. I am continually a sucker for the $9.99 collection; publishers, you should remember this for me and people like me in future.
Thursday may have started a bit slow in the news department, but it sure ended with a huge bang. Here's a roundup of announcements that hit today from Comic-Con International in San Diego:
• Neil Gaiman announced via video that he will write a new Sandman miniseries that will detail what happened to Morpheus to allow him to be so easily captured in The Sandman #1. J.H. Williams III will provide the art. "It was a story that we discussed telling for Sandman's 20th anniversary," Gaiman said, "but the time got away from us. And now, with Sandman's 25th anniversary year coming up, I'm delighted, and nervous, that that story is finally going to be told." The series will be published by Vertigo sometime next year.
• Mark Waid, Shane Davis and Max Brooks will team to create Shadow Walk, a graphic novel coming out next year from Legendary Comics.
• Legendary will also publish the Majestic Files by J. Michael Straczynski, which will feature art by Geoff Shaw and Matt Banning.
• Terry Moore will write a Strangers in Paradise prose novel to coincide with the comic's 20th anniversary next year. He also plans to do an all-ages comic after Rachel Rising finishes in 30-40 issues.
James Patterson's Zoo hasn't even been released yet, but Yen Press already has a graphic novel adaptation of it in the works. Andy MacDonald revealed on his blog last night that he's been working on it, and Yen Press is showing off promotional materials for it at its booth at Comic-Con International in San Diego. According to the description on Patterson's website, Zoo is about:
All over the world, brutal attacks are crippling entire cities. Jackson Oz, a young biologist, watches the escalating events with an increasing sense of dread. When he witnesses a coordinated lion ambush in Africa, the enormity of the violence to come becomes terrifyingly clear.
With the help of ecologist Chloe Tousignant, Oz races to warn world leaders before it's too late. The attacks are growing in ferocity, cunning, and planning, and soon there will be no place left for humans to hide. With wildly inventive imagination and white-knuckle suspense that rivals Stephen King at his very best, James Patterson's ZOO is an epic, non-stop thrill-ride from "One of the best of the best." (TIME)
Yen Press has published several graphic novel adaptations of Patterson's books aimed at younger readers, including Maximum Ride and Daniel X, but I believe this is the first "adult" book of his the company will adapt. According to Amazon, it comes out in November, two months after the prose novel.
Like clockwork, Comic-Con International organizers have released the programming schedule for Friday, July 13, the second full day of the San Diego convention. It sees publishers kicking things into high gear, with Marrvel's "Cup O' Joe" and DC Comics panels on the New 52 and Justice League and Green Lantern groups, as well as presentations from IDW Publishing, Oni Press, BOOM! Studios, UDON, and Fantagraphics and Drawn & Quarterly.
That's only for starters, though, as AMC's The Walking Dead, Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The CW's Arrow make Comic-Con appearances, and creators as diverse as Joss Whedon, Kate Beaton, Larry Hama, Scott Snyder, Lynn Johnston, Dan Piraro, James Robinson and Jeff Lemire get the spotlight. There are also tributes to legendary creators Jerry Robinson and Joe Simon, as well as Comic-Con co-founder Richard Alf.
And to keep off the day, there's the 24th annual Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards.
We've selected some of the comics-related highlights below; visit the Comic-Con website to see the complete schedule.
Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga may not be everybody's cup of tea, but you can't argue with its success — not just the novels and the movies but also the record-shattering bestseller Twilight graphic novel published by Yen Press. The second volume was released last year, and now the news is out that Yen Press will publish two more Twilight graphic novels: The first volume of New Moon, which adapts the next novel in the series, and a Twilight Collectors Edition, that includes the first two volumes in a single omnibus.
Young Kim, who did the first adaptation, will also adapt New Moon. The Twilight Saga has a bit more detail on both books. although the Yen Press Facebook page (which probably attracts more fans of Black Butler and Pandora Hearts than Twilight) elicited a more mixed reaction from commenters. Both books are due out in October.
Conventions | David Glanzer, Comic-Con International's director of marketing and public relations, looks back on this year's WonderCon, which was held in Anaheim, California, rather than in San Francisco, touches upon the uncertainty about the location for next year's show — "we just don't have dates at the Moscone Center yet" — and discusses changes to pro and press registration for Comic-Con. [ICv2]
Conventions | Grant Morrison talks about MorrisonCon, the Sept. 28-30 convention billed as "a once-in-a-lifetime experience." "It's not going to be 'Come here and buy some comics and listen to a few panels,' " he says. "After two days you will be a changed person."

Legal | A proposed Arizona law that would make it a crime to annoy or offend anyone through electronic means has been held back for revision after a number of concerned parties, including the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, protested that it was too broad. The bill, which was passed by both houses of the Arizona legislature, basically took the language from the statute criminalizing harassing phone calls and applied it to all electronic devices, without limiting it to one-to-one communications. As a result, the language appears to make it a crime to post anything annoying or potentially offensive on the internet. [CBLDF]
Retailing | Brian Hibbs questions Mark Waid's math, both with regard to comic shops and the cost of self-publishing, and brings up a number of arguments in favor of the Direct Market. He argues that having gatekeepers in the market is a good thing and that rather than refusing to take a risk on a new or different comic, retailers will go out of their way to stock comics they think their readers will like.

Legal | The Arizona legislature passed a sweeping bill last week that would make it a crime to communicate via electronic means speech that is intended to "annoy," "offend," "harass" or "terrify." While the law was intended to update the state's telephone harassment laws to encompass the Internet, it's not limited to one-to-one communications and thus, as the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund notes, could criminalize "all manner of writing, cartoons, and other protected material the state finds offensive or annoying." Media Coalition, a trade association that includes the CBLDF among its members, has sent a letter to Gov. Jan Brewer urging her to veto the bill. [Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, Media Coalition]

I spent the weekend reading big piles of children's graphic novels, prepping for my Eisner judging duties. There were two that stood out to me for the same reason: They demanded more of the reader than just following along. While they are clearly intended for young readers, both are interesting enough to hold an adult's attention and would definitely make good gifts for a child who will immediately demand that you read them aloud.
