Rickman Revival Velocette - Custom motorcycle - Revival Cycles
- Build Story:
- A production Velocette Venom Clubman set the 24-hour world record at a speed of 100.05 mph on March 18th, 1961. It was the first motorcycle of any size to top the 100 mph in 24 hours, and to this date no other machine of the same capacity has been able to equal or improve on this record.
- This project came to us from an incredibly knowledgeable and discerning collector who knew the motorcycle had great potential, but was not fully realized in its current state. What started as a few simple changes to an already solid platform soon escalated into the stunning custom bike featured here.
- The Revival Cycles team began with a Rickman-Metisse road racing frame powered by a Velocette Venom engine. This particular Velocette engine has been treated to a host of racing tricks such as a ported, dual plug head, 10:1 compression and electronic ignition. A custom built stainless steel exhaust with a custom megaphone muffler provide plenty of sound and free breathing for the hot engine. An Alton alternator conversion, a MotoGadget M-unit and a fully custom built wiring harness round out the electronics and provide the most modern electronics known to a Velocette.
- The next step was to get the frame lines just right for a proper racing stance. Up front, we custom machined a set of triple trees that clamp to a set of Ceriani replica forks that have been retrofitted with fully adjustable cartridge style damper. Underneath the stock appearing fork caps you'll find the pre-load adjustment for the springs, along with compression adjustment in one fork leg and rebound damping in the other to give the most grip possible for this race inspired machine. Sitting loud and proud up front is a Magnesium 4 leading shoe Fontana front drum brake that provides plenty of power to slow down this 275 lb. (wet) featherweight. The polished Borrani 19" shouldered rims provide the right proportions to the massive front drum and beautifully polished Norton Manx rear drum. A custom set of Ikon shocks completes the rolling chassis. The next step included cutting off the rear of the frame and building a traditional frame hoop with a recess mounted Super Nova tail light / brake light combo. Along with all new hidden electrical bracketry and bodywork mounts.
- With the drivetrain and chassis ready to hit the vintage racing scene, now it was time to focus on making the Velo look the part. This started with extensive modifications to the alloy fuel tank for a better fit, cleaner lines and a smooth transition to the hand formed alloy tail section. The front fairing is all hand formed alloy inspired by MV Agusta and Velo Thruxton vintage race bikes with a tiny Miller headlight frenched into the polished reveal. The stainless steel tubing provides structure for the fairing and a nice home for the mechanical Smith's tachometer twisted slightly to keep the riders focus on high rev shifts. A pair of hand formed alloy fenders were constructed and polished to a mirror shine with stainless steel mounts used to keep them in place. With all of this alloy work completed it would have been a shame to hide it all in the incredibly deep and dark British Racing Green, so a polished center stripe was left to show off the metal work, outlined in gold pinstriping. Thanks to all of the design decisions and hard work, the Rickman-Revival Velocette took home the style and design award at the prestigious 2016 Quail gathering in Pebble Beach, CA and was included in the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

It was news when we rumoured Motorola was building the next T-Mobile phone running Android; it was news when Panasonic announced its Android phone, and when Samsung announced theirs.
Google's open-source operating system is still only on two handsets (like the HTC Magic, right), but the little-OS-that-could has already been the subject of much iPhone-killer type hype. We try to figure out why.
What is Android? It's another smartphone operating system like Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, and Palm. Like the iPhone OS, it currently only runs on two phones, with the promise of more to come from other manufacturers.
So why the hype? A couple reasons - it's Google's first foray into mobile, it's the first operating system whose code has been made open-source, and perhaps most importantly, it has a ton of potential applications in stuff that has nothing to do with phones - it's a viable OS for netbooks, notebooks and in the future, maybe even smart appliances. What's so great about open-source? Open-source means the programming code is available for all to see and tinker with - what's great is that it means any developer can create applications for the Android phones. As a result, there are some pretty awesome apps on Android, from the dead useful - GPS and social networking apps for example - to the dead silly - emitting Nintendo sounds when you jump while holding the phone. Our favourite - TippoBilloSplitamus which... you may have guessed, calculates the splitting of bills plus tips. What's on Android that isn't on other operating systems?
Its openness gets people excited, as well as the fact that almost all its apps are free. Plus, it's made by software king Google - it's incredibly easy and intuitive to use.

In this beguiling novel, Danielle Steel tells the story of three very different people, each of whom reaches a crucial turning point on the same day—a time to blow out the candles, say goodbye to the past, and make a wish for the future.
Valerie Wyatt is the queen of gracious living. Since her long-ago divorce, she's created a successful TV show and reached the pinnacle of her profession, with a camera-ready life in her Fifth Avenue penthouse. So why is she so depressed? Because all the hours with her personal trainer, hairdressers, and cosmetic surgeons can't fudge the truth: Valerie is turning sixty.
Valerie's daughter, April, spends every last ounce of her energy on her popular one-of-a-kind restaurant in downtown New York. She has no love life and no prospects. Ready or not, though, April's life is about to change, in a tumultuous transformation that begins the morning it hits her: She's thirty. And what does she have to show for it?
Jack Adams is the most charismatic sports analyst on TV. Twelve years after retiring from the NFL, he still has his pick of the most desirable twentysomething women. But Jack wakes up on his fiftieth birthday, his back thrown out of whack, feeling every year his age.
In a novel brimming with warmth and insight, beginning on one birthday and ending on another, Valerie, April, and Jack discover that life itself can be a celebration—and that its greatest gifts are always a surprise.

Bangalore, Sep 24: India's fast bowler Ishant Sharma is back in first-class cricket. After undergoing ankle surgery in March, the tall paceman is fully fit and is preparing for the Test series against England at home in November.
Ishant's Career In Numbers
The 24-year-old is currently playing for Rest of India in Irani Cup at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. He is bowling at good pace against Rajasthan. He took 2/17 in 12 overs in first innings.
In an exclusive interview with ThatsCricket, Ishant spoke on his return to cricket, being a fast bowler, competition for India slots and on how India will fare without retired stalwarts Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman.
Question: You are playing in a first-class match after eight months, are you fully fit now and how has it been bowling here?
Ishant Sharma: Yes (I am 100 per cent fit). As you can see, I was bowling in right areas. I was back in my rhythm and am feeling confident now. I was feeling good out there.
Q: Were you frustrated at missing out on all cricket action during your injury layoff?
Ishant: I don't think I am frustrated at not having played for eight months because that was my decision to have a surgery. I don't think you need to get frustrated about it. I am more than happy to have had the surgery. It is good for me. I know my body very well.
Q: Is home series against England in November your target to get back to Indian team?
Ishant: Yes, that is what we have been preparing for. I will try to get back and do well in that series.
Q: Is it difficult being a fast bowler on Indian pitches?
Ishant: You can't say that it is difficult. There is something for the fast bowlers (on Indian pitches). It's all about how mentally tough you are (while playing in India). If it is difficult to be a fast bowler in India, then no one told you to become one. Because you wanted to be a paceman, you became a fast bowler. It is no point in saying that is bad luck I became a fast bowler. It is your choice. For me, it is nothing like that. I have always enjoyed being a fast bowler for the country.
Q: With four Tests scheduled against New Zealand and more cricket coming up next year, your bowling workload will be more. Are you ready for it?
Ishant: Workload has always been more. It's all about how you take it. You have to take it as a positive sign instead of worrying about the workload.
Q: There is a lot of competition for fast bowling slots. How do you look at this?
Ishant: It is always good to have a healthy competition in every department either it is fast bowling or batting.
Q: With the retirements of Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman, do you think India will struggle when playing abroad?
Ishant: I think you can't comment on all these things (whether India will struggle or not). First we need to focus on the home series against England. First, they have to get us out on our tracks. Then we can think on how we will fare in their conditions.
Q: How has been the help from India's bowling coach Joe Dawes?
Ishant: I have been working on few things on my bowling. I worked with him for just one series. Hopefully I will continue to work with him and keep improving.

Kurt Cobain (born February 20th 1967) is an American-born musician best known for being the lead vocalist and guitarist for the grunge band Nirvana from 1987 to 1996, and from 2013 to the present day. He is also well-known for his successful solo career, which consisted of two albums, 'Nostalgin' (1998), and 'Spinning Top'. Cobain almost died in March 1994 from an overdose of Rohypnol while Nirvana were performing in Rome, however he made a successful recovery and was forced to go rehab in response. This near-fatal accident gave Cobain the foresight to become clean and inspire others to do the same, culminating in the Stay Clean project, launched with the help of other musicians, such as Eddie Vedder and George Harrison.
Recovery from drug addiction and Odyssey (1994 - 96)
Following a near-fatal drug overdose, Cobain was admitted into the Exodus Recovery Clinic in Los Angeles. He spent four months in rehabilitation and was released on 28th July 1994 a clean man. He now devoted himself to being a family man, and called off any plans for Nirvana's fourth studio album for the time being. During his time away from music, Kurt befriended former Beatles guitarist George Harrison, also a former heroin addict. They both wanted to ensure that young people didn't fall into the same trap that they did, and with the help of fellow recovering drug addict, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails fame, they launched the Stay Clean rehabilitation programme. This project pledged to provide every single drug addict in the US with the opportunity to get clean, by launching free rehab centres in every state in the country, and to educate children on the dangers of drug abuse. The program proved successful and approximately 1.2 million people in the US took part in some way during its first year of service. Musicians across the world also got involved, with Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder donating the proceeds from the band's third album, Vitalogy to the project, with the Smashing Pumpkins doing the same with their album 'The Aeroplane Flies High'.
Following the success of the Stay Clean project in the US, Nirvana began recording their fourth studio album, Odyssey. Influenced in part by the artists that Kurt had met over the course of the project and over the course of his life, the album was a shift in change from the band's previous albums. This caused unrest from bassist Krist Novoselic, who claimed Kurt had 'gone soft since doing that stupid project'. The arguments were reported at the time, but what wasn't known at the time was that the band had actually disbanded for a short time in August 1995, after relations between Cobain and Novoselic reached crisis point. Dave Grohl later commented: "It was a struggle to get them to finish the album. Krist felt that Kurt was devoting too much time to Stay Clean and Kurt felt Krist was bringing the band down with his attempts to revert back to the grunge era. I'm surprised Kurt ever came back after the fights they had." But come back Kurt did, and Odyssey was released in October 1995, just six weeks after the band had reformed, to worldwide success. It became the best-selling album in American history, and the title track became Nirvana's first chart topper in the US. Riding the wave of Nirvanamania, the band brought the Odyssey World Tour forward six months to April 1996. Just two years after Cobain nearly died, he was experiencing success even greater than he had been at that point.
Nirvana's split and Cobain's musical hiatus, Nostalgin (1996-99)
The Odyssey World Tour ended on the 18th August 1996 at the Reading Festival in England. Following this, Nirvana took three months out before they came back to record their fifth studio album. In this time, many changes occurred. Cobain decided to launch Stay Clean out of the US, and test launched the project in Britain. Smear and Grohl recorded a psychedelic album under the name of 'Foo Fighters'. Krist Novoselic blocked all contact with his band members and joined Pearl Jam on their Vitalogy tour. This led to further animosity within Nirvana, as Kurt now saw Novoselic as 'Eddie Vedder's little lapdog'. The band got together to record the fifth studio album on the 27th of November 1996, however very little recording took place, as arguments between Cobain and Novoselic escalated. On the fourth day of recording, an argument between Grohl and Novoselic angered Cobain, as Krist supposedly referred to the Stay Clean project as 'the worst thing that happened to this band' and said of Kurt that 'he wished he'd overdosed in Rome'. This conversation occurred due to the other three band members (Cobain, Grohl and Smear) wanting to pursue a more alternative route, whereas Novoselic believed grunge was still alive and Nirvana should stay in the genre. Cobain responded to the comments by walking out of the recording studio, and calling Novoselic to thank him for 'destroying Nirvana'. Novoselic attempted to keep the band going as a three-piece outfit, but Grohl was also angered by comments made about the Foo Fighters and stormed out with Smear. The resulting recording sessions led to Novoselic's solo album 'Bitter Recollections' (released March 1998). On the 20th December 1996, Cobain and Grohl had an interview with MTV. During the interview, the reporter asked about the fifth album, and Cobain responded by saying on live television, "Nirvana are officially on hiatus. I have all the respect for the guys, and it's been the best nine years of my life, but it just isn't any fun now, and we need some time away from it all to rediscover the magic that made it so good in the first place." Cobain then billed up the Foo Fighters' solo album, before leaving the interview. Nirvana seemed to be dead in the water, to the shock and devastation of fans worldwide.

Open Rhinoplasty post surgery recovery? When can I wear makeup/go for a night out without worrying about my nose?
Doctor Answers 8
Recovery after a rhinoplasty
Congratulations - I hope you have a wonderful recovery. I tell my patients that once the splint is removed (typically one week after surgery), they may have a small amount of bruising and some swelling, but can apply makeup at that point and resume normal social activities (school, work, socializing with friends, etc.). You should not exercise yet, but can resume most normal activities. The swelling in the nose takes a few months to completely resolve, but even when it is noticeably swollen at 1 week after surgery most patients are comfortable presenting their new nose to their friends, family, and co-workers. Good luck!

Rhinoplasty recovery
Hello and thank you for your question. I remove the splint after 1 week and tell my patients that they can expect to be able to return to work or be out in public without bruises at that point.
Best wishes and good luck.

Thank you for your question.
Straining, bending and lifting should be avoided during the early postoperative period. In many instances, you may be able to return to work within 7 to 10 days after surgery. Most normal activities including exercise can usually be resumed within three weeks.
It will be a few months before you can expose your reshaped nose to direct sunlight. Your nose will be sensitive during this time, and you must be conscientious about using a sunblock to protect your skin. If the bones of your nose were altered, it may be a number of weeks before you can wear glasses without special support such as tape. Best of luck!

Open Rhinoplasty post surgery recovery? When can I wear makeup/go for a night out without worrying about my nose?
Thank you for your question.
There are different kinds of rhinoplasty operations however we can divide them as the one that requires bone excision and the one that does not need bone excision. The main fact that we classify the rhinoplasty operations like that is that the results and postoperative period is associated closely with this fact. In the operations like "nasal tip correction", "simple rhinoplasty" there is no need for a bone excision however these minor operations cannot be beneficial for everyone. The operation type is need to be determined by the surgeon according to needs of the patient. In these minor operations the rhinoplasty is performed with closed method. The bone and the cartilage tissues are not involved in the surgery directly. Small nasal bumps can be removed in these operations.
In the operation that needs the bone and cartilage tissues to be involved; open approach is used. In the procedures with open approach, the size, shape and functionality of the nose can be improved. The big nasal bumps can be removed and septal deviations can be corrected providing a better nasal airway.
Thank you for your question.
It is important to consult with your surgeon about any questions or concerns you may have. Brusiing usually resolves over the first couple of weeks but swelling can last up to a year or longer. It takes 6 months for 90% of the swelling to resolve after a rhinoplasty. During this waiting period, several treatment options can reduce the swelling. First, post-operative taping is imperative to decrease swelling and mold the shape of the nose. This can be performed for a minimum of 2 weeks with recommendations commonly for 3 months. Second, a short course of oral steroids (Medrol dose pack) can be beneficial in the early stages to decrease swelling and pain. Third, I commonly use a dilute solution of Kenalog with Marcaine to decrease swelling of the nasal tip. Patients can usually return back to work or engage in social gatherings after a week if they are off all pain medications. I would wait to apply make up to the areas where there are incisions until they are healed to prevent introducing bacteria into them. Best of luck in your recovery!

You can wear makeup as soon as the external nasal splint and tapes are removed. Many patients wear coverall makeup under the eyes to mask any bruising from hump removal/nasal osteotomies.

Herbs: red clover, malyia. Check online to they have great info. As for what my friend tried ill have to call her. Ill get back to you though.
ok thank you do much
your welcome :)
Honestly.. not to be a downer.. but 2 months is not a long time.. it means you had just TWO cycles to give it a go and make happen.. just a few sparse days! Doctors don't even really want you to come in for "issues" unless you have been trying for a year.. so I would suggest knowing when those key days are, staying healthy and stress free :)
Please don't feel discouraged, we tried for 3+ years before we conceived.
I tried for a little over a year and finally got my beautiful little girl :). It'll happen best advise is to stop stressing over it.

Gene Bilbrew (1923 - 1974) was an American cartoonist and fetish artist. In addition to signing his work with his own name, he drew under a range of pseudonyms, including ENEG ("Gene" spelled backwards), Van Rod, and Bondy.
He began his career at the Los Angeles Sentinel, an African American newspaper, where he illustrated the comic strip series The Bronze Bomber -- coauthored by Bill Alexander. He also wrote the series Hercules in Health Magazine. Throughout his life, he took free-lance assignments within the African American community, for instance producing modernized cover art for Victorian-era lottery numbers books such as the Gypsy Witch Dream Book and Old Aunt Dinah's Dream Book for the Wholesale Sales Corp.
Around 1950 Bilbrew became an assistant to the hugely influential comics artist Will Eisner, on The Spirit[1], where he took over the back-up series Clifford -- a little-kid humour page -- after its originator, Jules Feiffer, was drafted into the army.
Bilbrew's later notability came when he became a fetish artist at Irving Klaw's Movie Star News/Nutrix company. He also had many illustrations published in "Exotique" magazine between 1956 and 1959.

The Destiny of the Republic: a Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of… (original 2011; edition 2011)
by Candice Millard
Work details
Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Medicine, Madness and the Murder of a President by Candice Millard (2011)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Here's a portion of US history you probably don't know. And it's the fascinating intersection of a US President you hardly know, and an inventor you thought you knew.
Much better than I expected.
I had seen this book mentioned with great fanfare as a great biography and I remember the verbal review on NPR when it was first published. So I bought it, put it on a shelf, and decided with this new LT site and its challenges that I would read it. And boy, was it hard to put down!
I think my first sitting I read 60 pages. Just so pulled in, with the author's writing style and her impeccable research. In a sense, she is able to make the individuals in this tragedy human so that a reader is able to connect with them. Millard also puts into context the political climate at the time: the Republican party, the party of Lincoln, was heavily divided into the Stalwarts and the Half-Breeds. The Stalwarts were absolutely convinced that theirs was the right way, the only way, including punishing the South for seceding from the country and starting the Civil War; while the Half-Breeds were more open to negotiation.
This is definitely a tragedy and one only glanced at in high school American History books. Garfield finds himself nominated as Presidential candidate for the Republican Party, is elected President, and sets out to clean house. He is able to do so by accepting the "resignation" of his primary opponent in the Senate, Roscoe Conkling. Meanwhile, a young man named Charles Guiteau lives always on the welfare and handouts of others, leaving his boarding houses just before rent is due, begging from friends and family and half-known individuals. He was part of the Oneida community until he was seen as too unhinged for it, and survives a ferry boat crossing that resulted in a fiery death for several hundred.
Once Guiteau finds and shoots President Garfield, who is on his way to take a few brief days of rest with his wife (recuperating from a fever), the drama unfolds into a medical tragedy. The attending physician does not believe in that European germ theory and finds no problem inserting his fingers or metal tubes into the President's body to poke around to find the bullet. His ego further disallows any other physician to be in attendance, nor for any medical opinion to go so far as to question the location of the bullet.
Alexander Graham Bell features prominently in this work, as an inventor whose telephone is only visited at the science exposition by sheer luck. He creates a machine that is a precursor of the X-Ray machine; it works, but the doctor's insistence on the bullet being on the left-hand side of the body near the groin prevents the bullet from being found and removed.
President Garfield is shown at great length as a calm, quiet, funny man who loved learning and was able to advance himself into learning, a Civil War generalship, and the world of politics because he used his mind and learned from books. He suffered for six weeks when he should not have, and this country lost a man who could have been a great leader. His Vice President, Chester A. Arthur, was able to become presidential when he realizes the fate of the presidency was about to rest with him, and Conkling never rose to prominence.
And Guiteau? Who thought that the will of God and the people wanted him to murder the President? He was vilified, shot at through the walls of his prison, and eventually hung with a great crowd standing and watching.
Destiny of the Republic tells the story of the assassination of our 20th US President, James Abram Garfield in 1881. He was shot at a Washington DC train station by Charles Guiteau, a mentally ill loser, who thought he would become a hero by killing Garfield. Part of his failed defense was that the bullet didn't kill Garfield, his medical care following the shooting did.
He was right. The medical men of the era, with few exceptions, did not believe Joseph Lister's "germ theory." In fact, they believed the dirtier the better when it came to hands, surgical instruments, etc. The doctor in charge, Dr. Doctor Willard Bliss (Doctor was his given name) was such an egotist that he singlehandedly made all the medical decisions involved in his patient's care and would not listen to anyone else's advice. While telling the story of Garfield's medical care, the author also tells the story of the assassin AND Alexander Graham Bell, who invented a device (a metal detector) to help locate the bullet in Garfield's torso.
This book is a real page turner -- a shining example of narrative non-fiction! Without the non-fiction group at my public library, I would never have read this book – it would never have occurred to me to pick it up. That's the beauty of such a group – there are wonderful finds just waiting to be found!
A reluctant President, a madman, and a burgeoning technological era collide in this superbly rendered historical tale. In "Destiny of the Republic" Candice Millard brings James A Garfield and his assassin, Charles Guiteau, to life in a maelstrom of late nineteenth-century political intrigue. As she did with "Hero Of The Empire" and "The River Of Doubt," Ms. Millard has taken larger than life personalities and obscure historical confluences and woven them into an engaging, page-turning drama that begs the question: Why can't history be taught this way? Another five star recommendation. Well done.
In both of the books she has written about American presidents, Candice Millard has zeroed in on events that other historians largely overlook. Her first book, "The River of Doubt," followed Theodore Roosevelt's strenuous efforts to regain his confidence after his failed 1912 third-party bid for re-election and described his near-disastrous journey down the Amazon tributary of the title. The details of this trip were hardly unknown, but they were easily overshadowed by other aspects of Roosevelt's hugely eventful life. Ms. Millard turned a relative footnote into a newly mesmerizing story.
Now she has chosen an even more neglected and fascinating subject: the 1881 assassination attempt on President James A. Garfield and the dreadfully misguided medical efforts to save his life. Had it not been for this botched treatment, Ms. Millard contends, Garfield would have been one more Civil War veteran walking around with a bullet lodged inside him. Had he survived to serve more than 200 days in office, he might have been much more familiar than he is to many students of White House history.
"Destiny of the Republic," which takes its title from a fateful speech given by Garfield at the 1880 Republican National Convention, has a much bigger scope than the events surrounding Garfield's slow, lingering death. It is the haunting tale of how a man who never meant to seek the presidency found himself swept into the White House. It rediscovers Garfield's more surprising accomplishments. He was, among other things, a teenage worker on the Erie and Ohio canals, a brigadier general and a scholar who devised an original proof of the Pythagorean theorem at some point during the 17 years he spent in Congress.
Garfield's transformative effect on the contentious 1880 Republican convention put an end to all that. (Kenneth D. Ackerman's "Dark Horse" gives a full account of the convention.) At an exhausting point when more than 30 ballots had been cast, Garfield rose to speak out against the chaotic "human ocean in tempest" he was witnessing. He injected a voice of reason. "I have seen the sea lashed into fury and tossed into spray, and its grandeur moves the soul of the dullest man," he said. "But I remember that it is not the billows, but the calm level of the sea, from which all heights and depths are measured."
Delegates began unexpectedly throwing their votes to Garfield. He had not been a presidential candidate; now suddenly he was the Republican nominee. When he and his family were swept into the White House, Garfield wrote: "My God! What is there in this place that a man should ever want to get into it?"
Garfield particularly bristled at the calling hours a president then traditionally kept. During this time he met members of the public, many of them office seekers. He quickly noticed a particularly obnoxious visitor: Charles Guiteau, whose pestering was so extreme that Garfield cited him as an "illustration of unparalleled audacity and impudence." The grandiose and frankly creepy Guiteau wrote so many letters that he became enough of a nuisance to be noticed by other members of the Garfield administration and family. A former lawyer and theologist who earned himself the nickname "Charles Gitout," he met Garfield on numerous occasions before deciding to shoot him.
Guiteau, whose story has also been much overlooked, made no secret of his plotting. In a letter explaining his plans to the American people, he reasoned: "It will be no worse for Mrs. Garfield, to part with her husband this way, than by natural death. He is liable to go at any time any way." He scouted jails, deciding where he wanted to be incarcerated. He left instructions ("please order out your troops") for Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, who would be marshalling troops for Guiteau. They protected the assassin from being killed by a mob before he could go to trial.
"Destiny of the Republic" pursues many threads at first, including the political spoils system exploited by Senator Roscoe Conkling (who forced Chester A. Arthur on Garfield as a vice president); Alexander Graham Bell's experiments with induction balance; and Joseph Lister's much-mocked claims that antisepsis was crucial in warding off infection. And then midway through the book these elements converge in Ms. Millard's gripping account of Guiteau's attack. After Garfield was shot at the Baltimore and Potomac train station on July 2, 1881, doctors egregiously probed Garfield with hands and instruments, none sterilized. The president's fever, vomiting and signs of infection were taken as evidence that his body was trying to heal.
The medics explored the wrong side of Garfield's torso — and under the orders of the senior presiding doctor, D. Willard Bliss, only the wrong side — in efforts to find and remove the foreign body. In one of the many stunning moments that Ms. Millard describes, Bell was allowed to use his method of metal detection only on the bullet-free side of the president and was baffled by the faint, inconclusive noises that his test produced. It would be discovered, too late, that the sounds had come from metal bedsprings in the mattress beneath Garfield.
"His ultimate place in history will be far less exalted than that which he now holds in popular estimation," The New York Times wrote after Garfield died. This book rebuts that claim. It restores Garfield's eloquent voice, his great bravery and his strong-willed if not particularly presidential nature. Ms. Millard shows the Garfield legacy to be much more important than most of her readers knew it to be.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0385526261, Hardcover)A Letter from Author Candice Millard
At the heart of Destiny of the Republic is the story of the assassination of President James Garfield. What made me want to write this book, however, was not what I knew about President Garfield—that he had been shot by a deranged man in the summer of 1881—but all that I did not.
In everything I read, I am always looking for the thread of an idea, something that surprises me, and leaves me wanting to know more. To me, that's the best part of being a writer—following an idea to see where it leads. Most of the time, after doing a little research, I quickly come to a dead end. One day four years ago, however, I found much more than I had ever expected.
While reading a biography of Alexander Graham Bell, I learned that Bell had tried to help save Garfield's life after the President was shot. I wondered why a man as famous and powerful as Bell, who had invented the telephone just five years earlier, would abandon everything he was working on, put his life on hold, to help any man, even a President. The only way to answer that question, I realized, was to understand exactly what Bell had invented, and, more than that, to find out what kind of man Garfield had been.
After the assassination attempt, Bell devoted himself night and day to inventing something called an induction balance, a type of metal detector, to locate the bullet lodged in the President's body. The induction balance that Bell used for the final time on Garfield is on display in the National Museum of American History, on the National Mall. What most people don't know, however, is that the museum also has all of the versions of Bell's induction balance, in various shapes and sizes, with hanging wires and unfinished edges, that he created while trying to perfect his invention. As I held these fragile instruments in my gloved hands, carefully examining their intricate workings, I could almost see Bell's mind working, and his heart racing, as the President drew closer and closer to death.
Although, in the end, I would spend three years working on this book, it took only a few days of research to realize what Bell must have known—that President Garfield was not only a tragic figure, but one of the most extraordinary men ever elected President of the United States. A passionate abolitionist, Garfield was not only hailed a hero in the Civil War, but was a fierce champion of the rights of freed slaves. At the same time, he was a supremely gifted scholar who had become a university president at just 26 years of age, and, while in Congress, wrote an original proof of the Pythagorean Theorem.
With each diary entry and letter I read, each research trip I took, Garfield came more clearly and vividly to life. It was not until I visited the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Washington, D.C., however, that I began to understand the extent of the suffering that Garfield, and the nation with him, had endured. In its archives, in a large metal cabinet with long, deep drawers, the museum keeps the remains of two presidential assassins: John Wilkes Booth and Charles Guiteau, the man who shot Garfield. In the same cabinet, in a drawer just below Guiteau's, lies a six-inch section of Garfield's spine, a red pin inserted through a hole in the knobby, yellowed bone to show the path of Guiteau's bullet. It is impossible to look at this heartbreaking collection without being struck by the fact that this story, now hardly remembered, was once a tragedy so wrenching that it transfixed and terrified an entire nation.
This book is my attempt to step back in time, to understand these men and this moment in history, and to tell a story that should never have been forgotten.

Robots put 15 million UK jobs at risk, warns Bank of England
Some fifteen million UK jobs are at risk of being taken over by robots in the coming decades, according to calculations by the Bank of England.
Speaking to the Trades Union Congress in London the Bank of England's chief economist, Andy Haldane, unveiled Bank research estimating the probability of a range of jobs being automated over the next few decades. By multiplying these probabilities by the number of people employed in each sector Mr Haldane came up with the aggregate figure of 15 million.
To put that in context there are around 31.21 million people in work in the UK today, out of a total population of 64 million.
Mr Haldane stressed that these estimates of the number of jobs that could be automated were "broad brush" and "may be far too pessimistic". He also stressed that fears of the damaging impact of technological developments on employment had proven misplaced many times since the industrial revolution.
But his comments do reflect an increasing concern among some economists over the impact of the "rise of the robots" and other technological advances on employment levels.
"If these visions were to be realised, however futuristic this sounds, the labour market patterns of the past three centuries would shift to warp speed" he said.

Among the professions deemed by the Bank research to have a high probability of automation (around 70 per cent) are sales and customer service workers. Skilled trades people are also at serious risk. Those with a lowest probability (about 15 per cent) of being replaced by robots are the traditional professional occupations and managers and officials.
"Machines are already undertaking tasks which were unthinkable - if not unimaginable – a decade ago" said Mr Haldane. "The driverless car was science fiction no more than a decade ago. Today it is scientific fact".
The internet giant Google has been showcasing a prototype self-driving car at its Mountain View headquarters this year. And self-service checkouts proliferate in UK supermarkets.

Mr Haldane also noted the potentially adverse impact of automation on inequality, pointing out that the risk was higher for jobs lower down the pay scale. "Those most at risk from automation tend, on average, to have the lowest wage" he said.
Mr Haldane, who is widely recognised as one of the brightest thinkers in the central banking world, suggested some possible policy responses to the rise of automation.
One was to focus on training people in areas of work where humans have an advantage over robots such as tasks that require high-level reasoning and leaps of imagination.
"In a world in which machines came to dominate tasks involving core cognitive processing, the importance of, and skill premium attached to, non-cognitive skills is likely to rise…yet our education system, at present, has a strongly cognitive slant" he said. "Perhaps in future that will need to change, with as much effort put into cultivating social CVs as academic ones."
Another possible response suggested by Mr Haldane was to promote the mutual ownership of companies so that the economic profits of robotisation flowed to more people.

"These governance structures may allow a more equitable distribution of robotic rents and generate greater value for the companies themselves and for wider society" he said.
Ironically, in another speech earlier this year Mr Haldane suggested that modern corporations may actually be underinvesting in new technologies due to their ownership structures which encourage short-termist thinking by managements.
The predictions of a future robostic threat to employment contrasts sharply with the recent positive trend. The current employment rate - the proportion of people of working age in jobs – is 73.7 per cent, the highest since records began in 1971. The unemployment rate fell in the three months to September to 5.3 per cent, its lowest since April 2008.

Download Missed Call Notifier apk 1.0 free for Android smartphone
Posted by AppsRight in Communication | Dec. 29, 2012 | 0 Comments
Apk file size: 238.0 KB
Have you ever missed a call or a text and you are away from your phone ?, or your phone rebooted or the notification got wiped and no longer you are aware of the fact you missed that important call/text ?
Have you ever missed a call (maybe on purpose) and you do not want to call back that person, (maybe he is talking too much when you call and you do not have the time) you want to send an e-mail (and its much easier on your desktop/laptop)!
If so MissedCallNotifier is the app for you!!
You will get notified by an e-mail for any missed call or for any incoming SMS.
The email message CAN (yes it is up to you, you can create a personal customized e-mail messages) contain the missed call / text items : phone number, time of call, caller name , caller email, caller photo (if the items can be found in your address book), SMS text content…
You can customize the email messages to your liking, possible scenarios are: (text or call)
1. Undisclosed phone number
2. No name can be found for the caller number in your address book
3. No Email can be found for the caller name (assuming the number is found in your address book)
4. An Email is found for the caller number
5. This app was tested with a US and IL phone numbers only, if you have a contact in your address book that is not found by this app, so you get a notification with only the phone number not the person name / email etc press the ask for help button send us an email with the phone number as it was captured by the app (see the email you got) and the phone number as it appear in your address book, we will add a rule to take care of it (most likely some country based rule that the app needs to apply)
You can customize special email message for each of the above scenarios – you can customize the subject of the email and the body of the email message separately, special tags can be used to embed the following attributes
1. #T will be replaced with the time of the call
2. #TY will be replaced with the word Call or Text – this is the call type
3. #C will be replaced with the context of the text message (assuming this is a text message)
4. #N will be replaced with the caller phone number
5. #M will be replaced with the caller name
6. #E will be replaced with the caller e-mail addresses
For example (one of the default messages) for the scenario where the caller is in your address book and he has an email address configured in your address book:
Subject of the message: "John You just missed a #TY from #M (#N) at #T"
Body of the message: "call/text him/her back or send him/her an email at #E"
This will be translated to an email that will look like that:
Subject: John You just missed a Call from Tim (6178889999) at 2012/12/17 03:20:50
Body: call/text him/her back or send him/her an email at [email protected]
The email will be clickable, click it will open your default mail client so you can edit the message and send an email to tim (an example of course)
1. If you do not have connectivity to the internet during the missed call, MissedCallNotifier will try few times to send you an email, but if failed will show a notification in your notification bar and will not send the e-mail.
2. You must own a yahoo or gmail account to send emails
3. At this point the contact photo will be attached (not embedded) to the email message – this is a future enhancement
4. If your phone is under load (100% CPU for a long time) MissedCallNotifer might be killed by the OS and miss the call. (this is true for any app)
In order for this app to work, you will need to provide an e-mail address and password for that email so the app can login into your email account and send you an email with the SMS / missed call information –the e-mail password will be kept locally on your phone and will not be shared with anyone not even the developer of this app.
Bugs / Requests – just press the button and send us an email.

TENNIS; Wimbledon '93 Favors Only the Brave and Lucky
By ROBIN FINN,
Published: June 20, 1993
WIMBLEDON, England, June 19— Everyone knows about the treachery of Wimbledon's lawns, a damp expanse described as "slimy" by players for whom familiarity has not bred the sort of fondness nine-time champion Martina Navratilova harbors for the most difficult surface in the sport. But this year, even before the grass can turn traitor or the moody weather can wreak havoc , several Wimbledon contestants have already been set dangerously adrift by a particularly unforgiving draw.
The trouble starts right with the defending men's champion, Andre Agassi, whose No. 8 seeding not only happens to be the lowest ever awarded a holder of the title, but is also something of a gift considering his actual computer ranking of, ominously enough, 13th in the world.
The favor to Agassi by Wimbledon's ever-courteous and unabashedly prejudiced seeding committee was, however, almost immediately undercut by the Las Vegan's lack of luck in the draw, which pits him against a confirmed upset artist, Bernd Karbacher, in the opening round. Agassi Promises Nothing
Karbacher, a German string bean who nonetheless delivers a serve of hallucinogenic proportion, gave Agassi a fright two years ago at Indian Wells in California and thrashed Boris Becker last month in Hamburg, Germany. Among Karbacher's other noticeable victories this season are his twin defeats of 12th-seeded Michael Chang on clay at the French Open and on grass in Halle, Germany, last week.
Hampered by wrist problems that have kept him off the circuit for two months, Agassi has indicated that the effort and danger of merely attempting to defend his title here may have to be enough.
"To be honest, I'd have to say I'm not as well-prepared as I should be," a less-than-lean Agassi said last week in Halle, where his comeback was cut short in the opening round by 59th-ranked Carl-Uwe Steeb.
Should Agassi's renowned return of serve help him scramble safely out of Wimbledon's first round, he'll certainly need it to be in perfect working order in the fourth round, where ninth-seeded Richard Krajicek looms, and again in the quarterfinals, where his opponent figures to be another consummate serve-and-volley stylist, top-ranked Pete Sampras. Sampras Aching but Confident
Sampras, who thought he or Goran Ivanisevic were destined to win last year, said he likes his chances again this year despite an achey serving shoulder that caused him to withdraw from an exhibition at Roehampton last week. He requested and received a Tuesday start, and resumed practicing Sunday following three days of tests and therapy.
But Sampras also faces potential first-round indignities in the person of Jamie Morgan. The unheralded Australian ushered Stefan Edberg from contention two weeks ago at Queen's Club before squandering four match points against eventual champion Michael Stich in the semifinals.
Also vulnerable to a first-round ambush is the fourth-ranked Becker, a three-time Wimbledon champion who will be marking his 10th anniversary at the event that became his Grand Slam launching pad in 1985. Becker, who was dispatched by Stich at Queen's Club, has to begin his Wimbledon quest against another fellow German, Marc Goellner, who is not-so-coincidentally referred to as Baby Boom Boom back in his homeland.
Becker's unofficial heir is coming into Wimbledon with his Grand Slam mettle in perfect position after upsetting 1992 French Open finalist Petr Korda before being halted in the fourth round in Paris.
Becker's 1993 Grand Slam credentials have not been as impressive as Goellner's. Boom Boom I lost in the first round of the Australian Open and faltered in the second round of the French. But grass is Becker's sleeper surface, and Centre Court his favorite bull ring. If he puts Goellner in his place, his route to a quarterfinal confrontation with Stich seems assured. Becker could face 14th-seeded MaliVai Washington, another player given special seeding treatment here, in the round of 16, but Washington will probably have to escape a third-round clash with mercurial Henri Leconte to get there. No Welcome Mat for Courier
Jim Courier has never come across a welcome mat at Wimbledon, and this year is no exception. Although Agassi's success here last year has proved that a player of Courier's baseline ilk can indeed stymie the power servers and grass-court classicists, Courier's draw is also not encouraging.
A polished performer who has reached the finals of the three other Grand Slams with assiduity and emerged the victor on four occasions, the third-seeded Courier has never progressed beyond Wimbledon's quarterfinals. To break through this year, he will likely need to derail one of the circuit's most comfortable grass-court technicians -- 14th-seeded Wayne Ferreira -- to earn the dubious privilege of tangling with last year's runner-up, Ivanisevic, in the quarterfinals.
The draw looks to offer few problems for either Ivanisevic or Edberg until a possible collision in the semifinals. Of course, Edberg could find the prospect of a quarterfinal reunion with seventh-seeded Ivan Lendl daunting. Lendl has put on a brave front as he marches into his 14th Wimbledon, the only Grand Slam that has conquered the former No. 1 player. Still, Lendl's 1993 results have been crippling rather than constructive. Lendl has been knocked out in the first rounds of both Grand Slams and fell in the Italian Open's first round. His Wimbledon fine-tuning at Queen's Club, a tournament he has twice won, was equally brief.
Should Lendl envisage himself on the brink of retirement rather than his first Wimbledon crown?
"I don't think it's people's business to keep asking me that," he snapped after losing to 116th-ranked Byron Black of Zimbabwe at Queen's. Navratilova Seeding Gets Boost
On the women's side, matters are less problematical. The 36-year-old Navratilova, seeded second here in deference to her record nine titles, may consider herself on the cusp of retirement, but she also sees little in her path that will prevent her from a final-round contest with the two-time defending champion, No. 1 ranked Steffi Graf.
"Of course, the two of us have proven we're capable of winning the whole thing," said Navratilova last week at Eastbourne, "but it's unpredictable. There are a lot of floaters out there and I don't want to name them in case I forget one and she gets mad at me."
One of the more prominent of those unseeded floaters is Lori McNeil, who followed up her Birmingham title by toppling Gabriela Sabatini in straight sets last Thursday at Eastbourne.

Heidi Adamson is officially a member of the Pocatello City Council. At Thursday's regular council meeting, Adamson was confirmed for the post by a vote of the current Council. Following the vote, she took the oath of office and then made her way up to the dais to her seat among the rest of the council. "I've always been interested in government and I felt strongly that now would be a good time to get involved," Adamson said. "My two children are old enough now that I have the time to dedicate to public service and I look forward to doing what I can to make our city an even better place to live, work, and play." Adamson owns a local business, Five Star Property Management. She is a graduate of Highland High School and following her career as a Ram, she attended Idaho State University and received a Bachelor of Arts in History. "It's exciting to see a new face show an interest in being a part of City government," said Mayor Brian Blad. "I like her ideas and I look forward to the fresh perspective she will bring to the Council." "There's been some positive growth and development in the community recently," Adamson said. "I'd like to see that continue." She takes the seat vacated by Craig Cooper who resigned after accepting a position on the Bannock County Commission. Adamson will fulfill the remainder of Cooper's term which ends January 2018. Twenty-seven citizens submitted applications for the job and Adamson was selected by Mayor Brian Blad after interviewing 9 of the candidates. Heidi and her husband, Dannis, have two sons Grant and Gabe.

River Melody Overview
While the company's initial programs concentrated on the well-known Rhine cruise, itineraries have been greatly expanded to the Danube and the Mosel, as well as seasonal Christmas market cruises, and voyages in Holland and Belgium for the spring floral season. "The Great Rivers of Europe," a voyage between Amsterdam and Vienna has become Grand Circle's signature voyage just as its included 'Discoveries' and its onboard Program Directors have become hallmarks of its operations. Cruises are marketed with air included from US departure points, and pre- and post-cruise extensions are offered.
Cabins: All of the ship's cabins are outside ones, non-smoking, 150 square ft. or larger and equipped with twin beds (and only twins) that fold into the wall during the day, leaving small sofa-style seating available. Warm-toned wood paneling and veneers are used abundantly, and cabins are both light and comfortable with wall-to-wall carpet and small desk/vanity areas. The rooms have individual thermostats and are equipped with sufficient closet/storage space, wall safes, direct-dial phones and multi-channel color TV (including a view from the bow-mounted camera).
The private bathrooms have showers, but not tubs, and come with a hair-dryer, soap/shampoo dispensers and assorted toiletries. The main difference in the cabins is based on their deck location and view. Serenade Deck cabins have floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors and a small balcony; Sonata/Cantata Deck accommodations have large picture windows; Prelude Deck rooms are located at water level and have chest-high windows.
Dining: The Restaurant is located aft on Serenade Deck, the topmost enclosed area, and offers extensive views of both the river and the surrounding areas. The restaurant offers single open seating at all meals and is a non-smoking area. The overall menu is what might be termed Continental-American and should be generally familiar to the American passengers, though a strong effort is made to offer German-European choices and preparations. Both breakfast and lunch service is fairly casual, in a semi-buffet style, with assorted local and regional specialties offered.
Dinner is a more formal menu-centered service, and depending on the situation, will have a limited selection of options available to the guests. Complimentary local wines are served with dinner, or you may order from a selected list at an extra charge. Dress is also casual, though many gentleman feel more comfortable on special evenings with a sports coat or blazer, while women often take the opportunity to dress at a resort or country-club level.
Public Spaces: In keeping with the size and capacity of the vessel, public spaces are not numerous but are sufficient to meet the needs of the passengers and offer comfortable venues for personal relaxation and public or group events. In pleasant weather and along especially scenic stretches, the Sun Deck serves as an open lounge area and is often the most popular spot onboard. Just below it is the combined Serenade/Harmony Deck, which also includes most of the general public areas.
At the forward end of this deck are the large Main Lounge and its adjacent Bar/Pub. This area serves as the main gathering space on the ship and is used for meetings, lectures, demonstrations and evening entertainment. Full bar service is provided day and evening and part of the Bar/pub even serves as a separate meeting space. Just aft of this are the reception/lobby facilities, and off to one side is a nicely stocked library that also provides a calm place for private enjoyment or quiet conversation. The aft portion of this deck is occupied by the restaurant. The fitness area and sauna are located below, on Cantata Deck and are easily accessed.
Activities: All Grand Circle trips, cruises or otherwise, are strongly oriented towards guest enrichment and that was one reason why the company decided to own its ships and shape the experience. Each ship is staffed with a team of three to four Program Directors who act as combination lecturers/tour guides/cruise directors. Experts in local history, culture and the arts, they lead excursions, teach classes, and introduce passengers to everything from onboard craft demonstrations to language lessons to home visits with a chance to interact with the local people. These activities are an integral part of the cruise experience and the Program Directors are the facilitators. Ashore, you will learn about architecture and history, and have many chances to walk and wander on your own; onboard, you'll learn language and cooking and participate in discussions on a range of topics related to your itinerary.
