Turtle Time: Creating and Using a 13-Moon Calendar
Summer 2011Rhythm of the Home1 Comment
There is so much to learn and remember from animals about how to stay in rhythm with nature. And the humble turtle is a perfect example. Turtle symbolizes being connected to both earth and heaven. Turtle teaches us to have our heart to Mother Earth, to move slowly and with intention. Turtle medicine is about grace and perseverance. And she gives us the tool of measuring time on her shell.
Native Americans used turtle shells as their first calendars following the 13-Moon system. The number of segments on the outer shell of a turtle is 28, representing the number of days in a moon. There are 13 segments in the inner part of the shell of a turtle representing each one of the 13 moons in a lunar year cycle.
During the course of a year, there actually are 13 cycles of the moon each lasting approximately 28 days each. Our current system of measuring time (the Gregorian calendar) ignores this very obvious fact and arbitrarily uses a system with 12 months of varied lengths. Even the names used for the months of the Gregorian calendar are a hodgepodge of the names of gods and goddesses, ancient rulers (e.g. Julius Caesar, Augustus) and incongruent numbers. Consider that the tenth month in the Gregorian calendar, October, means 8. The phases of the moon fall at varied times of each month and vary from year to year when we use the Gregorian calendar. However in the 13-moon system, every moon is equal in length, the moon phases follow a pattern and the calendar is perpetual.
There are so many ways that we have moved away from doing what is natural in the effort to be efficient and competitive. Every opportunity we use to align ourselves with nature by making conscious decisions about how we live our lives takes us that much closer to inner harmony and world peace. The 13-moon calendar system is all about cooperation and honoring the natural order of the Universe.
I created an interactive calendar to teach children (and adults!) this simple way of tracking the time it takes our beautiful planet to travel around the sun. Because it honors both natural and universal rhythms, it allows us sync up while connecting us more closely with nature. When harmony in nature is recognized and honored we begin to see it reflected more and more in every aspect of our lives.
The System in a Turtle Shell
:: There are four 7- day cycles in a moon.
:: The beginning of the 13-moon year occurs July 26th on the Gregorian Calendar (G.C.)
:: July 25th (G.C.) is called "A Day Out of Time" which is exactly what it suggests… a day that wars ceased, debts were forgiven, and celebration was the order of the day. There are festivals held around the world to celebrate this day.
The pdf template for Turtle Time: A 13-Moon Calendar was created in black and white to allow you and/or your child to bring it to life with a bit of color. I would recommend printing out the template on cardstock and coloring the turtle the way you like. If you want to demonstrate the synchronous patterns of calendar, you can recommend that your child color the same days the same color through each of the four 'weekly' cycles so you get a rainbow effect, and it clearly marks the beginning and end of each seven-day cycle. Then the moons (i.e., the large segments) can be colored randomly or in a pattern of your choice.
To keep track of the time, choose three small natural treasures (small rocks, acorns, shells, etc.) Use one to place on the appropriate day (the smaller outer segment ring,) one for the moon (the larger inner segments,) and one for the moon phase (on the feet.) If you are using your moon calendar on the wall, attach each small treasure with glue to the head of a thumbtack. If you are using your moon calendar on the refrigerator, attach each treasure to a small magnet with glue. You could also lay the calendar flat on a nature table and just move the treasures along like game pieces.
The beginning of the new yearly cycle begins on July 26th. On that day, you would place one of your treasures on the number 1 in the outer ring, one on the 1st moon on the inner spiral, and one on the new moon phase. If you decide to use the calendar before or after the beginning of the year (July 26th), you can visit this link to find the appropriate day in the 13-moon system so you can begin your 13-moon journey right away.
Here is a short story to share with your children to help them begin to understand why following natural rhythm is helpful and to share what turtle teaches us all!
Long ago, humans lived in complete harmony with nature. They followed the rhythms of nature for survival but also because it felt right to them. When the cold winds blew from the North, they knew it was time to move to more sheltered environments to endure the cold winter ahead. They knew when and where to find abundant food when summer's bounty was at its peak, and they knew never to take more than was needed so there would always be plenty. But over time, humans, being the adaptable and clever creatures that we are, discovered ways to be less reliant on nature. Most of these methods created a lot of disharmony towards nature because they involved hoarding resources and abusing Mother Earth. And most of these methods failed to consider the impact that these actions would have on their children's children.
A wise girl named Kaya, noticing that a great separation was occurring between her people and Mother Earth, became greatly troubled. One day she was walking down by the wide river where she often went to watch the sunset, when she saw a great eagle perched in a tree above her. She remembered her grandmother telling her that the eagle is the messenger of the Great Everything. So she said to the eagle, "Would you please carry a prayer to the Great Everything for me?" The eagle nodded. "Please ask the Great Everything to help my people become more harmonious with Mother Earth again." And the eagle flew off at once carrying the heartfelt prayer to the heavens.
When the eagle arrived to the heavens and announced the prayer of Kaya, the Great Everything — being compassionate and loving — responded at once to the wise girl's prayer. The Great Everything knew that there was a creature on Earth that was the perfect for job of helping harmonize the two-leggeds on Earth with all of creation. This creature walked with its heart to the earth full of grace and perseverance.
On the way back to her village, Kaya tripped over what felt like a rock. But when she looked down, she noticed that it was actually the shell of a turtle. The eagle she met earlier in the day flew and perched overhead. Kaya looked very carefully at the shell and noticed something she had never noticed before in the many times she watched the turtles down by the wide river. The shell had 13 larger segments in the middle surrounded by 28 smaller segments. Kaya's grandmother often reminded her to count the days between the new moons as a way to stay in rhythm with nature. Twenty-eight days passed between the moons just like the number of segments on the outer part of the shell. She also remembered that there were 13 new moons in each great cycle of the seasons just like there were 13 large segments in the center part of the shell. She gave thanks to the Great Everything for answering her prayer and reminding her of her wise grandmother's teachings. And she gave thanks to the turtle for providing a way for her to count the days between the moons so she could teach her people to notice the natural rhythms of nature again.
To this day, the turtle remains a great teacher of living in harmony and grace. The turtle teaches us to slow down and notice the patterns of nature because bigger, stronger, and faster are not always the best ways. And above all, turtle reminds us to keep our heart to the Earth so we can notice the natural rhythms of this beautiful planet on which we live.
(Just for clarification: not all turtles have this same pattern. For example, sliders and box turtles have 25 outer segments on their shell and many sea turtles have fewer large inner segments.)

Herbert H. Franklin
|Herbert Henry Franklin
September 1, 1866
Lisle, New York, United States[1]
|July 7, 1956
(aged 89)
Syracuse, New York, United States[2]
|Automobile magnate, Business, Industrialist,[3] Newspaper editor[4]
|Never married
|Charles R. Frankin (father)
Hannah Bliss Franklin (mother)[5]
Herbert Henry Franklin (September 1, 1866 – July 7, 1956) was an American automobile magnate, businessman and industrialist, Franklin was born in Lisle, New York located in Broome County in Southern New York State.[6]
In 1886, at age 19, he moved to Coxsackie, New York, where he spent his early career as a newspaper editor for his uncle, who owned a newspaper and publishing company. Franklin remained in that capacity until 1892 when he became interested in "hydrostatic moulding process", or die casting. (Franklin has been credited with coining the term.) Not long after, he quit the newspaper business and relocated to Syracuse, New York.[1]
Franklin founded the H. H. Franklin Manufacturing Company in 1893. The company specialized in machine die casting and made small parts such as gears and bearing caps.[7] It was the first company in the world in that enterprise.[4]
In 1901, Franklin teamed up with engineer John Wilkinson to develop an air-cooled engine and in 1902, the Franklin automobile was born. Because he was the primary investor, Franklin assumed control of the company, and named the auto manufacturing division the Franklin Automobile Company. As president, he managed the company finances and business administration. Wilkinson was named as chief engineer and granted control of the engineering and manufacturing operation.[2]
Franklin died on July 7, 1956 in Syracuse, New York and was buried in Oakwood Cemetery.[2]

Herbert Franklin grew up on the family farm south of Cortland, New York in Lisle, New York.[2] He was the son of Charles R. Franklin, a dairy farmer[8] and Hannah Bliss Franklin.[5] He had two brothers and three sisters who lived to maturity. His father had been a schoolteacher in Cortland, New York prior to his marriage.[5]
The milk from the family dairy was carried by horse and wagon or sleigh to Center Lisle, about two miles away. Franklin was interviewed later in life and exclaimed; "How I hated to milk cows, My father said the cows gave me short measure when I milked. They were tired from my leaning my head against their sides while I milked. According to father, I wasn't cut out for farm work and he became reconciled to it. So I set out to earn my way elsewhere."[5]
Franklin had a handicap. He had an impediment in speech from a defect with which he was born. "All his life it was necessary for him to be painstaking with speech to be understood.".[9]
Bert Franklin had to walk five miles to the Lisle Academy from his home on the Nanticoke Road. He walked often when his father could not spare a horse for transportation. At the time of his death, in 1956, there were older residents in Lisle who remembered his trek to school. They remembered him as "very quick in learning, an exceptionally bright youngster." [5]
Herbert Franklin graduated from Lisle Academy (1866-1856),[5] however, his formal education never went beyond high school.[6]
Broome County[edit]
Several of the young men that Franklin grew up with in Broome County, New York went on to become successful businessmen in Syracuse. This included Alexander T. Brown, Lyman C. Smith, Hurlburt W. Smith and Wilbert Smith who were industrialists in Syracuse.[10] L. C. Smith headed the Smith typewriter business. Alexander T. Brown was credited later with inventing the modern typewriter and he had also invented bicycle gears. The Smith Premier, a double keyboard machine with keys for capital letters and small letters, was made in Syracuse at the Smith Premier Typewriter Company, which was originally located in the old Smith gun plant and later in its own plant on Gifford Street.[9]
Additionally, Giles H. Stilwell, a lawyer and education had attended the Lisle Academy with Franklin. Stilwell was later on the board of directors for the H. H. Franklin Manufacturing Company.[5]
Sleigh maker[edit]
His first job after completing his studies was at a sleigh shop in a neighboring town. According to Franklin "the proprietor paid day wages to the men building sleighs. My job was sandpapering the bodies. It seemed to me that we all took it easy. I talked to the owner about paying by the sleigh, so much for each sleigh I sandpapered. It meant more money for me and more sleighs finished faster for him. Soon the other men in the shop took it up and the whole operation was on piecemeal. I was there for months and he wanted me to stay assisting him in the business, but I didn't think I wanted to be a sleigh-maker either."[5]
Printer's apprentice[edit]
He went on to say, "My father wanted me to come home and I went on a visit. There, a cousin of ours, William Franklin, was on a visit at the time. He was on the newspaper at Coxsackie, New York. It had a job shop attached. He suggested my going there with him. I did."[5]
At the age of 19, he moved to Coxsackie, New York on the Hudson River, south of Albany, New York and worked as an apprentice to his uncle, William P. Franklin, owner of the local printing business and publisher of the weekly, The Coxsackie News.[1]
During the first year as apprentice, Franklin, was "paid" room, board and clothes, however, no cash. His work day lasted as long as it took to get the job done. Consequently, he worked many late hours and many times recorded that he worked "day and evening" in the printing office. Within six months of his arrival in the small village, he was promoted to foreman of the printing shop. His ability was such that after only ten months on the job, his Uncle Will considered getting a job in Syracuse and leaving young Franklin in charge of both the newspaper and print shop.[1]
At the end of his first year, Franklin had improved the newspaper and worked so hard he "had replaced a three-year apprentice." After two weeks spent in negotiation with his Uncle, he was offered a yearly salary of $150 plus board and laundry. Although disappointed by the wage, however, he resolved to work "as though I was to get twice as much."[1]
William Franklin acknowledged his nephew's good work in a paragraphed headlined "It Improves," in which he thanked the public for their appreciation of the improvement in The News "which is due to the efforts of our assistant editor, who is full of vim and enterprise and has a wit which tempers his painful truthfulness."[1]
Board of trade[edit]
After 18 months work, Franklin was able to organize a local Board of Trade. As secretary, he reviewed local industrial prospects, promoted projects and acted as hiring agent for firms that wanted to relocate to Coxsackie.[4] The first firm lured to the area by the Board of Trade was the Kennedy Valve Company. Soon the plant was drawing new families to the village. Not long after, a shirt factory relocated to Coxsackie from Troy, New York.[4]
Columbia bicycles[edit]
During the late 1890s, the bicycle industry was booming. Herbert Franklin rode his first low "safety" bike and realized many others would be interested in this "new, easy way of getting about." He became an agent for Columbia Bicycle and opened a store in Coxsackie to rent and sell the machines.[4]
Still youthful, Franklin soon organized the Coxsackie Bicycle Club, which performed exhibition riding at the local county fairs.[4]
Real estate and insurance[edit]
As a young man, Franklin also owned a real estate and insurance office in Coxsackie, New York with his partner, Frank Bedell.[1] This business was established due to the increased demand for housing after several new factories relocated to Coxsackie.[4]
Franklin was the first real estate agent in the village, however, eventually branched out and sold New York City property and land in Western states.[4]
Not long after, the single telephone line that linked Coxsackie to the Albany, New York switchboard, was placed in Franklin's real estate office. Any messages that needed to be relayed to local residents were delivered personally on a Columbia bicycle.[4]
Other concerns[edit]
In 1893, Herbert Franklin had the idea of forming a local building and loan association in Coxsackie. He was a member of the first board of directors.[4]
Deferring to his rural upbringing as the son of a farmer, Franklin was a proponent for the business concerns of the local farmers. He organized a creamery association and was secretary of the Farmer's League, formed in 1890. He was also on the committee that arranged the semi-annual Farmer's Institute, a weekend meeting with out-of-town experts to discuss mutual farming concerns.[4]
Franklin was also the creator, editor and publisher of a monthly called The Common School which circulated among public school teachers in New York State.[4]
Newspaper editor and publisher[edit]
While he was running several side businesses, The Coxsackie News went on to become the largest circulation newspaper in Greene County, New York.[4]
A notable gift to the village from the newspaper were weather flags that translated forecasts telegraphed from the U.S. Weather Bureau in Washington, D.C.. "Weather was an important factor in a village that depended on river trade, and in the days before radio and television, the system of flags was a public service that received daily recognition."[4]
In 1892, H. H. Franklin took control of The Coxsackie News after he leased if from William R. Franklin for a year's term with a renewal option for five more years. "I'm here to stay," he said to a fellow editor who felt he might leave someday. This was a prediction that came true not long after, in June, 1893, when Franklin broke his contract and asked his Uncle Will to resume control of the publication.[4]
Franklin publicly announced that because he was unable to buy the newspaper for what he considered a "fair price", he was giving up the business. Franklin quipped; "Life is too short to spend all its best days in building up a business we cannot control."[4]
Franklin left Coxsackie for Syracuse, New York. After his death it was suggested that "whether he was disappointed in love, or whether it was really that he could not buy the newspaper" as his reason for leaving. He was a deeply private man and in later life, few people even knew of his career in the newspaper and printing business.[4]
Along the way, he became a proficient writer, with a gift for producing polished, persuasive ad copy. He also discovered that he had a "flair" for business in general.[6]
Die-cast manufacturer[edit]
Herbert Franklin became interested in die casting when Herbert G. Underwood of Yonkers, New York,[11] an employee of a valve company Franklin had helped to bring to Coxsackie, was experimenting with a "hydrostatic moulding process".[4] Franklin was presented with an opportunity to "buy" a patent for the process of die-casting and he jumped at the chance.[6] Later, he accurately predicted, "We are developing a process that will revolutionize the metal manufacturing business."[4]
Die-casting is the process of forcing metal into steel molds so that smooth casting are produced without machining.[12] H. H. Franklin launched commercial die-casting and was considered the "Godfather" of the process. He also pioneered the fabrication of aluminum.[5]
In the early days of the business, Franklin would use steel molds as opposed to the normal sand cast molds used in the process later on.[13]
By 1893, the money he earned from his many enterprises in Coxsackie supported him for almost a year and helped him launch the H. H. Franklin Manufacturing Company in Syracuse which was the first machine die-casting enterprise in the world.[4] The company was incorporated on December 12, 1895.[9]
After several years in business, Underwood grew tired of the day-to-day business and instead wanted to work on perfecting the die-casting process. He sold his interest in the company to Franklin.[9] Later, in 1900, Franklin moved his company to the Lipe Shop, on the northeast corner of West Fayette Street and South Geddes Street (208 South Geddes Street).[14] "This was a famous center for mechanics, engaged in inventing and developing a wide range of devices."[9]
For a time, Howard Franklin, who was Franklin's brother worked for the company. He had set up the first shop which burned down and the company found space in the Lipe Shop.[9]
Franklin found himself in the middle of a business incubator in the Lipe Shop. He formed associations with early business leaders, all in different fields, including; John Wilkinson, Alexander T. Brown, Charles E. Lipe, Albert Seymour, H. Winifield Chapin and James Pass.[14]
Franklin automobiles[edit]
Eight years after he established his die-cast business, in 1900, Franklin met a bright, young bicycle racer named John Wilkinson who was a graduate of Cornell University and had already designed two prototype automobiles. Wilkinson earned a degree in mechanical engineering in 1889 and found a job with a local bicycle manufacturer, a "hot" technology of the period. He went on to become a champion cyclist and also developed a keen interest about the inner-workings of internal combustion engines and motor cars.[6]
Wilkinson's designs caught the attention of a group of New York businessmen, however, they couldn't decide whether to put his car into production. One member of the group introduced Wilkinson to Franklin, who took a ride in Wilkinson's second prototype. Franklin was impressed and the ride persuaded him to invest $1,100 so that Wilkinson could build a third prototype which went on to become Franklin's first production model.[6]
The Franklin Automobile Company was started and Franklin named the business after himself. He was the president and primary shareholder. He gave Wilkinson stock and appointed him chief engineer. In the early days, Franklin ran the business side and Wilkinson made the engineering and manufacturing decisions. The first Franklin (automobile) Model A was on the market by June 23, 1902 and holds the distinction of being the first four-cylinder automobile produced in the United States.[6]
The new vehicle needed a differential which was soon designed by Franklin's Life Shop business associates; Alexander T. Brown, Charles E. Lipe and H. Winifred Chapin.[14]
In 1902, Franklin sold a total of 13 cars priced at $1,100 each,[15] and from a modest beginning, went on to become a successful car company. For 28 years, from 1902 to 1930, the company thrived and during much of that time enjoyed the distinction of being the city's largest employer.[6]
Local connections[edit]
In April, 1911, Franklin was a member of the floor committee for the party that followed the "fancy dances" arranged for the Children's Charity ball at the Alhambra later that month. Other members of the committee included prominent Syracuse residents such as, Carlton A. Chase (president of the New York State Manufacturer's Association and Syracuse Chilled Plow Company,[16] Donald M. Dey (vice-president of Dey Bros. & Company),[17] Hamilton H. White (founded the Syracuse Bank and the Syracuse Coarse Salt Company), Wilbur Van Duyn (attorney for Central New York S.P.C.A.),[18] Clifford Lipe (mechanical engineer and owner of the Lipe shop)[19] and Wilburt Smith (founder of Smith Premier Typewriter Company).[20] Also included were members of Franklin's firm including George Chapman.[21]
Syracuse club[edit]
As a member of The Syracuse Club in 1917, Franklin started a movement to keep New York State highways open in winter for automobile traffic "by removing snow at points where drifts occur."[22]
Franklin pointed out "With so much money represented by the ownership of automobiles and by the construction and maintenance of State highways, it does not seem right that these roads should be closed to a large volume of traffic for several months a year on account of snow."[22]
According to Franklin and others who believed that the snow problems must be solved as "a matter of public economy and convenience, the annual expense will not be as great as it would seem at first thought." He pointed out that it would only be necessary, "except when exceptionally heavy snowfalls occur, to tunnel though occasional drifts."[22]
At that time, some of the Northern New York counties had funds appropriated especially for keeping roads open for sleighs for which the State also contributed. Franklin suggested a new technology, "the snow roller as one of the devices adopted in recent years in this Winter work of making roads passable."[22]
In 1930 Franklin Automobile Company introduced a new type of engine which ultimately produced 100 horsepower (75 kW), with one of the highest power-to-weight ratios of the time. In 1932, in response to competition amongst luxury car makers, Franklin brought out a twelve-cylinder engine.[23] Air-cooled with 398 cubic inches (6.5 L) it developed 150 hp (110 kW). The V-12 was designed to be installed in a lightweight chassis, but the car became a 6,000 pound behemoth when Franklin engineers were overruled by management sent in from banks to recover bad loans. Although attractive, the V-12 did not have the ride and handling characteristics of its forebears. Unfortunately, this was simply the wrong vehicle to be building after the crash of 1929 and the Great Depression that followed. The cars sold poorly, only 200 were ever produced,[6] and came nowhere near to recouping the company's investment.
Like other makers of high-priced cars, Franklin Automobile Company was badly hit by the Great Depression. Production in 1932 was only 1,898 units and in 1931, a mere 1,100 units, down from a high of 14,000 units in 1929.[15] In addition, an agent from the bank stepped in and took control of the company and made many bad business decisions that caused Franklin to slip even further.
H. H. Franklin Manufacturing Company and Franklin Automobile Company were both declared bankrupt on April 3, 1934 after reporting $2,088,000 in bank loans long overdue. For three years Franklin had "doggedly" fought off failure. He had "cajoled" his bankers into renewing bank loans that were equal to three times the company's current assets. Despite all hopes, reorganization plans fell through and the company passed into bankruptcy and the hands of a receiver.[15]
Later life[edit]
By April, 1953, Franklin was retired and had just returned from his 13th trip to Italy and France. He was almost 87 years old and "still active in mind and body." He expressed that he believed it would be his last visit to Europe. It was his practice to make annual trips to visit his sister, Mrs. Caroline Moser, a widow, at her home in San Remo on the Mediterranean. After she died in 1943, Franklin did not receive word of his sister's death for more than a year due to World War II.[24]
He was a bachelor and had always shunned personal publicity, although he never lost an opportunity to publicize the merits of the Franklin car. "He kept all his eggs in one basket, so to speak. He refused to invest his money in anything but Franklin company." His only other interest during his Franklin years was playing golf. After the company closed down, Franklin retired and lived quietly at his home at the Hamilton White homestead at 1013 James Street in Syracuse. He devoted much of his time to two new hobbies, photography and painting in oils.[24]
H. H. Franklin died in 1956 in Syracuse at age 89. He was buried in Oakwood Cemetery. He never married.[1]
Herbert Franklin was inducted posthumously to the Automotive Hall of Fame in Dearborn, Michigan in 1972.[25]
Franklin Square, on the city's lower Westside, a former industrial neighborhood in Syracuse was named for the H. H. Franklin Manufacturing Company. The former Franklin plant was converted into apartments and office space in 1987.

Holy pumpkin spice lattes! UGG has unveiled a Frozen Anna and Elsa-themed boot collection to keep your toes cozy this winter. Unfortunately, the toes will have to be tiny as the boots appear to come in youth/tween sizes only—but some adults might be able to squeeze into the larger sizes. I just wish companies like UGG would realize that today's adults want this stuff too.

As with her global success so far, it was inevitable and surprising that Courtney Barnett would win the prestigious Australian Music Prize.
The 11th AMP was awarded to Barnett for her debut album, Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit, at a ceremony in Sydney.
It was the culmination of a year which saw her droll, observational songs of ordinary lives nominated for a Grammy, win three ARIA Awards, become the darling of day and late-night chat shows in the US, and feature in album-of-the-year lists from Scandinavia to South Africa.
Having also survived the weird and wonderful world of the Grammys red carpet in February, the famously shy Barnett was in more comfortable surroundings at the Basement.
"I've never had a novelty cheque before," said a grinning Barnett, looking at the giant yellow chewy for $30,000.
"One thing I really like a about this award is it's judged on the art and the music, not sales and boring shit like that."

While Barnett's achievements may have seemed steps along the way to a foregone result at the AMP, it is worth noting that this makes Barnett only the second female artist to win, after Lisa Mitchell, in the 11 years of a competition modelled on the famous Mercury Prize in Britain.
Previous AMP winners include Melbourne rock bands the Drones and Augie March, rapper Remi and electronic duo Hermitude.
Furthermore, among the competition this year were multiple ARIA winners, and international success stories in their own right - Tame Impala and Sarah Blasko - as well as highly regarded "alternative" acts such as Jess Ribeiro, Royal Headache and Dan Kelly.
While Barnett's songs are particularly Australian, there was an even bigger win for parochial interests, as three states can lay claim to the AMP this year. Barnett spent most of her childhood on Sydney's northern beaches, moved to Tasmania in her late teens and now lives in Melbourne.
Bernard Zuel was an Australian Music Prize judge.

The Daily Telegraph has announced a 200-strong editorial team will work on its coverage of the London 2012 Olympics.
Central to the coverage will be an up to 48-page daily supplement. The normal daily business supplement will be absorbed in to the main body of the paper during the Games to make way. Also an extra Olympic edition of the iPad app will be published at 5pm every day and a 60-page Olympic preview magazine will be published with this Saturday's Telegraph.
Telegraph Olympics contributors are said to have 30 gold medals between them and include Sir Steve Redgrave, Denise Lewis, James Cracknell, Steve Cram, Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson, Ed Moses and Haile Gebrselassie.
Editor Tony Gallagher said: "The Telegraph was the first newspaper to support London 2012 at the bid stage and since then we have been preparing ourselves for the most important sporting event the UK has ever hosted.
"It is an historic opportunity for The Telegraph and I am confident we will offer unrivalled coverage on every platform."

Being White in Kenya
A European immigrant learns that her own clan is the most dangerous.
Related Link
First Chapter: 'Rules of the Wild'
By LAURA JAMISON
By Francesca Marciano.
293 pp. New York:
Pantheon Books. $23.
arly in Francesca Marciano's impressive first novel, ''Rules of the Wild,'' the narrator explains: ''We have very strict rules here. We sniff new entries suspiciously, evaluating the consequences that their arrival may bring into the group. Fear of possible unbalance, excitement about potential mating, according to the gender. Always a silent stir. In turn each one of us becomes the outcast and new alliances are struck. Everyone lies. . . . It's all about territory and conquest, an endless competition to cover ground and gain control.''
The speaker, Esmé, is discussing her ''white baboon family,'' a tiny, incestuous community of expatriates, relief workers, wildlife researchers and journalists living in Nairobi. Like many of them, Esmé first comes to Africa seeking nothing short of salvation -- a chance to rid herself of the past, to be stripped down to her essence. But completing that project, she learns, means partaking in the behavior of the clan and suffering the consequences. Marciano, who like her book's narrator is an Italian living in Kenya, offers a wise and beautifully written account of Esmé's quest.
Esmé's move to Africa is unplanned. Reeling from the death of her charismatic father, a poet who both loved his children extravagantly and neglected them, Esmé allows herself to be dragged on holiday by a well-to-do lover. Unexpectedly, Africa breaks through her haze: she suspects that here on this continent -- ''the beginning'' of all things -- she can shed the cloak of words her father always used to obscure and manipulate, a garb she never learned to distinguish from her own skin. Her decision to stay is sealed when, after dumping the Italian yuppie, she meets Adam, a Kenyan-born white man who makes his living taking rich Americans on safari. He is sexy, handy (an invaluable trait in Africa, since everything here needs repairing and ''the word 'spare' has the same ring as 'caviar' '') and, perhaps best of all for Esmé, unreflective. In his unquestioning happiness, she finds temporary safety; under Africa's vast sky she finds humility -- and with it, she believes, peace.
While Adam tends to his luxury safaris, Esmé sets up housekeeping near Nairobi, where instead of elephants and buffaloes she now sees beggars, glue-sniffing street urchins, maids in starched uniforms. She also meets the ill-behaved white herd that soon adopts her. During their colorful and drunken dinner parties, a battle for the best ''African pedigree'' silently rages: everyone wants to appear the most at home here, and there's always a newcomer to impress and snub. At the top of the pecking order are the hacks -- Western journalists who go off to Somalia, then later to Rwanda, and return with horrific tales that depress, humble and titillate the others. The star of the reporters is the rather pretentiously named Hunter Reed, an intense cynic obsessed with Africa's ugliest features. Like all nihilists, he is unassailable; no one wants to be accused of putting his or her head in the sand when it comes to large-scale suffering. At first Esmé and Hunter clash, but one evening a tragedy in the community throws them together, raw and grieving. She knows then that they will soon become lovers; she also knows the affair is doomed.
his rarefied world, where everything from cars to lovers comes as a hand-me-down, where blond women shoot zebras for a living and frogs peek at you from the drain in your bathroom sink, is vividly drawn. So, too, are the complexities of being white in Kenya, with all its disconcerting truths. When, early on, Esmé invites her black landlady to tea in an attempt to enact her liberal European ideals, it is a disastrous occasion. Soon she resigns herself to socializing only with whites and employing black servants. ''It's amazing how little time it takes for whites to learn how to bully Africans,'' she says, with more than a little self-disgust.
In some ways Marciano has more in common with Jean Rhys than with her obvious predecessor, Isak Dinesen (the affluent white suburb where Esmé shops is named after her). Marciano's style, like Rhys's, is spare, blunt, detached and ironic, and Esmé, much like a Rhys character, is displaced, dissociated and frequently drunk. But she has the good fortune to be buoyed by smart, sharp-tongued women friends, and whether she likes to admit it or not, the vortex of social relations helps keep her sentient when she'd prefer numbness. Also, her brand of masochism is more aggressive. At the opening of the novel, for example, when Hunter's new girlfriend comes to Nairobi to live, Esmé insists on picking her leggy blond rival up at the airport: ''I am glad to hate her. Now I will go home and probably cry.''
If one can find fault with this book, it's that the poisonous love affair -- which unfolds slowly, deliciously -- never becomes quite as powerful to the reader as it is to Esmé. Hunter is a hypercritical, self-righteous killjoy. Women have been known to fall for such jerks, to be sure, but if there is a special gratification at being loved by a man as difficult as Hunter, Esmé skimps on explaining it to us.
Though the affair is ostensibly the center of the plot, its thinness is easily forgiven, because at its heart this novel is really about Africa's gift to Esmé: here she discovers she can feel deeply and emerge intact. As she says, ''This is simply about survival.''

DENVER, May 1, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PDC Energy, Inc. ("PDC" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:PDCE) today reported its 2013 first quarter financial and operating results. First Quarter 2013 Highlights:
- Increased Average Daily Production 19%: Production from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2013 increased 19% to 18,500 barrels of oil equivalent ("Boe") per day from 15,593 Boe per day for the first quarter of 2012.
- Reached Company Record Liquids Production: Crude oil and NGL volumes in the quarter set an all-time Company high of 10,073 barrels per day.
- Increased Cash Margins Over 75%: PDC's move to a more liquid-rich portfolio resulted in an increase in cash margins (natural gas, NGL and crude oil sales, less general and administrative expense, and production costs) from continuing operations of over $29 per Boe compared to full-year 2012 cash margins from all operations of approximately $16 per Boe.
- Signed Utica Shale Midstream Services Agreement: In March 2013, the Company entered into long-term agreements for midstream services including gas gathering, processing, fractionation, and marketing to support its Utica Shale operations in Guernesy County, Ohio.
- Announced Sale of Non-Core Assets: In February 2013, PDC announced an agreement to sell its non-core Colorado natural gas assets, effective January 1, 2013, for approximately $200 million (includes separate sale to buyer of certain hedges), positioning the Company to accelerate development of its liquid-rich horizontal programs in the core Wattenberg Field and Utica Shale. Completion of the sale is expected in the second quarter of 2013 and will further strengthen the Company's liquidity position.

Bridgend hotel beats off stiff competition to scoop top award
By Contributed Item in Business
Leicester's Restaurant at The Great House in Laleston, Bridgend has been voted the Hotel Restaurant of the Year for Wales for the second year in a row at The Food Awards Wales 2017.
The annual awards hosted by Creative Oceanic were announced at a glittering ceremony at Cardiff's Marriott Hotel this week. These were the third annual Food Awards Wales and recognise the talent of food professionals in Wales.
Karen Glicker, general manager, said: "We were absolutely thrilled to win this award at last year's ceremony so to win the Hotel Restaurant of the Year for a second year in a row is amazing and very humbling. We would like to say a big thank you to all of our customers for voting and to our fantastic hard working team."
This certainly is an exciting time for Leicester's Restaurant, as their head chef Tommy Heaney will be competing on this year's Great British Menu on BBC2 very soon (from June 19).
Chef Heaney said: "It's always nice for the team to receive accolades, we're all very proud of what we do so it's great to receive recognition for it. It's been a great year so far and we have exciting plans in place for the near future, starting with a relaunch of the restaurant in July. We want to make Leicester's a real dining experience.
"I wouldn't say that my food is fine dining, so it's very important that the restaurant reflects that; we want it to be a welcoming and relaxed."

The expose by Edward Snowden in June 2013 has taken the world by storm. An employee with the National Security Agency in the US, Snowden was horrified at the extensive spying that this and other agencies were involved in. The spying (or surveillance as America would like to term it) was conducted on embassies, dignitaries and civilians. In an extremely brave move, Snowden made public information about the existence, functions and scope of several classified US surveillance programs. Some of these programs are PRISM (surveillance program), NSA call database, Boundless Informant and Tempora (a British black-ops surveillance program run by GCHQ, NSA's British partner). According to Washington Post journalist Barton Gellman, Snowden wrote before their first face-to-face meeting, "I understand that I will be made to suffer for my actions, and that the return of this information to the public marks my end." He was right. He is a fugitive today moving from country to country as the US government hounds him. He has applied for asylum to 20 (or more countries) and has yet to find a home. One of the most trending topics on search engines today, Edward Snowden has no place to go.
Snowden's explanation for his giving out the information: "I don't want to live in a society that does these sort of things [surveillance on its citizens]… I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded."
But why should you and I care? We are ordinary folks living an everyday existence in India. This doesn't really touch our lives, right ?
The Indian government is quietly rolling out a project, Central Monitoring System, since the last few months. The Central Monitoring System gives all government bodies such as the National Investigation Agency and tax authorities access to everything that is exchanged over the telecommunications network. This includes online activities (including what you do on social media networks), phone calls and text messages. Every byte can potentially be a bite!
Obviously a project of this scale and sophistication didn't spring up overnight. Allegedly, this has been in the works for 2 years now. There have been tenders, vendors, up-gradation of machines and offices involved.
However, this project has been rolled out quite stealthily. The public in India didn't have any inkling about it. There has been no dialogue in the Indian Parliament either.
Why has the Indian government shrouded this project in secrecy? If the intent is to beef up the security in the country, it should've been announced as such. With all the terrorist attacks that we have been subject to, it is unlikely that many citizens would oppose it. In fact, it may have been better had it been welcomed by than thrust upon the populace.
Principally, this may not be such an awful thing. But we live in a land where there is no lack of folks who want to snoop and spy on others. Who may use that information in ways that we cannot even imagine. It is not like we have the ablest safeguards to protect ordinary citizens. This system can be abused by wrong-doers in many, many ways. Under pressure and duress, it is also possible to implicate innocents on the basis of random conversations.
No Protection For The Innocent
Then there is the other aspect of privacy and internet freedom. Infringement of privacy will become quite the norm. In addition, there is a question of whether India is moving the China way and whether strict policing will be put in place. Whether sites that we use all the time will be banned and whether we are going to end up in a completely government controlled world. That scenario would be an extremely scary mixture of the worlds from The Hunger Games and The Matrix series. If such a thing actually comes to pass, a platform like India Opines may find that it cannot exist!
The Indian Government will give Uncle Sam access to our records ?
Finally, the allegations running along the grapevine of optical fibres insist that information access to the Indian government is only a front. All information is finally going to Uncle Sam. The lines between Big Brother (the Indian Government) and Uncle Sam are quickly getting blurred – and if American citizens protest against their government snooping on them why would Indians be happy to allow Uncle Sam to snoop on their privacy via the Indian government?

Activist courts are a plague on our society and I imagine they will – as liberal/progressivism has done, run themselves into a deep ditch it will take a generation to climb out of.
Let's take a look at California's dilemma unfolding in the US Supreme Court right now.
California has a prison population, it is alleged, where they hold in deplorable conditions, something like twice the amount of inmates as the facilities are supposed to hold. The courts are considering ordering a prisoner release as a resolution.
There could be a court order to spend whatever it takes to build new prisons in the works but I imagine it will be a prisoner release that satisfies the genteel sensibilities of those jurists who live in gated communities and attended Ivy League schools, as well as the social justice attorneys who always bring these types of cases.
And what will be the result of a prisoner release? Could it be the 70% prisoner recidivism rate coming back to bite Mr. John Q. Public, along with the police, prosecution and judicial time (money) spent re-locking up those who should still be sitting in prison?
How about some reverse psychology for the courts.
Back in 1968 there was the first, Serrano v. Priest, of the "education funding" lawsuits brought by social justice attorneys which pointed out the deplorable conditions of "poor community" schools suffering a lack of available local property taxes. The request of the courts was for more funding for the poor communities through a state tax.
The case meandered on until 1983 and billions of dollars were wasted trying to make "equitable" what could never be equitable. I believe the disparity is even greater now in 2010 since a newer case propped up the local funding for local education. Local education funding is back in the laps of the locals now that the State of California is bankrupt – who would have seen that coming?
So here is my solution:
Instead of releasing prisoners from overcrowded jails – why not release the children from the failed public schools and fund a proper prison system?
Why not work on a judicial scheme to encourage privatization, vouchers, home schooling, de-aministrating or any other way of avoiding the crowded, under-funded government/union schools?
The novel 1968 Serrano v. Priest idea that state education was a fundamental, US Constitutional right was a complete fraud and a fiscal as well as educational failure in California.
The 1995 monkey-see-monkey-do idea put forth by a similar activist court here in NH that education is some sort of state constitutional right is also a fraud and waste of tax dollars.
Let's have a new agenda for the activist courts.
Keep convicted criminals in jail as long as their terms require and set the little children free.

Adele is a British singer and songwriter who won two Grammy Awards in 2009 for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. She rose to fame when she appeared on Saturday Night Live in October of 2008 when the former governess and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was on the show. The Governess' appearance got many people to watch the show that night and at the time Adele was not known to America. This appearance made her known and helped lead her to Grammy victory several months later. This was one of several things that happened in a series of events; John McCain picks Sarah Palin as his running mate, Tina Fey makes fun of her on SNL, Sarah Palin appears on the same day as Adele performs, Adele wins two Grammys.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown sent a letter to Adele thanking her for keeping people's hopes up in Britain during the economic crisis, however this did not help Browns numbers in the polls and it is still expected that he and the Labour Party will lose to David Cameron and the Conservative Party in the next UK election.

How it's Different from Competitors

Nice Overall!
I purchased this for a steal at $3 and it seems great so far! I've etched glass and also tested it on rocks and plastics. I've found replacement tips on places like ebay and Amazon for $8-10. Happy so far!

Bought at Dollar General
Bought it today and have already installed the 2 AA batteries and turned it on! It seems to spin fairly fast and w / out wobble! I have tried to remove the tip by hand to check for ease of replacement to no avail yet! For $10 it may be okay for awhile!

Add Review, Comment, or Question
I also did not get a magnifier and was disappointed with this! Also, they gave no information on where to get replacement tips! Especially when it said you would need lots of practice before you could do it so it looked nice! I just opened it and practiced on a few items. The first tip is almost gone! By the time I get to my project I bought especially for I will probably not have a tip! I wish I would have bought a different one from a company that gave you what was advertised online! And also, gave you information on how to obtain replacement parts! Most reputable businesses do this so I was naive and figured it was inside the package. I was wrong! I liked the pen like lightweight feel and felt it did a good job but because of the above I would not recommend it to a friend!

The Prophet Zarkon was a religious figure in the universe of Fading Worlds and Civilization whose beliefs regarding equal rights for all sentient beings(natural-born humans, human clones, chimeras or animal-human hybrid clones, and A.I. robots and computers), faith in a living God or Supreme Being, and the belief that big private businesses needed to be strictly regulated due to their domination of the government of the First Commonwealth would later be the nucleus for the Universal Magisterium of God the Supreme Being.
The Prophet was born a naturally-born human under his original name of Kwame Haro Jones in South Africa in 2077 A.D.
During the late 21st Century, concerned over the political dominance of the Zabaitsu/Big Bosses and the racist movement proclaiming natural-born humans as superior to clones and A.I. machines, Kwame Haro Jones became an activist by 2098 A.D.
In the year 2100 A.D., Jones had a vision of God the Supreme Being, and developed supernatural powers including the power of anti-gravity (could lift beings and objects without standard gravity-control tech), heal living beings by laying on his hands (and without standard medical technology), and rearrange molecules to turn one substance into another (i.e. turn water in wine).
Within a decade, the newly renamed Prophet Zarkon gained millions of followers with his faith in the divine Supreme Being, equal rights for all, and social justice including more strict government control of the big corporations.
Zarkon's martyrdom in 2114 A.D. by rogue soldiers cemented the lasting legacy of his new religion.

A former executive at Jigsaw and Kew is suing the upmarket clothing group for discrimination, claiming she was barred from becoming CFO position due to her pregnancy.
An employment tribunal in Croydon this week heard claims of sex discrimination, unfair dismissal, and discrimination on the grounds of maternity and part-time working brought by Kate Torpey against Robinson Webster Holdings, which also employed the Duchess of Cambridge as an accessories buyer in 2006.
Torpey began working with the company as a financial control assistant in 1996, became director of Jigsaw in 2003 and managing director of Kew in 2004.
She left to have her first child in 2009, but told the court that attitudes at work made her apprehensive about taking maternity leave...
The employment tribunal continues, with more hearing dates scheduled for April.

THE EFFECT OF GLUTARALDEHYDE ON CATALASE Biochemical and Cytochemical Studies with Beef Liver Catalase and Rat Liver Peroxisomes VOLIKER HERZOG and H. DARIUSH FAHIMI . From the Harvard Pathology Unit, Mallory Institute of Pathology, Boston City Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts 0118 and the Department of Pathology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115 INTRODUCTION Peroxidatic activity of catalase (E .C .1 .11 .1 .6) was discovered by Keilin and Hartree (1), and it has been firmly established that, catalase oxidizes various substrates such as ethanol, methanol, nitrite, and formate (2-4) . Crystalline beef liver catalase, used as an enzyme tracer (5), and the peroxisomal catalase (6, 7) have been visualized cytochemically by a modification of the 3,3'- diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB)' tech- nique of Graham and Karnovsky (8), and it has been suggested that the peroxidatic activity of catalase is responsible for this reaction (9) . The 'Abbreviation used in this paper : DAB, 3,3'-diamino- benzidine tetrahydrochloride . staining of peroxisomes with DAB,, however, is seen only in aldehyde-fixed tissues (10, 11) . In contrast, Schejter and Bar-Eli have shown that treatment of crystalline catalase with glutaralde- hyde causes a marked inhibition of both the peroxidatic and the catalatic activities of the enzyme (12) . In this study, we have investigated the effect of fixation with glutaraldehyde on the catalatic and peroxidatic activity of crystalline beef liver catalase, using a variety of oxidizable substrates, including the DAB (13, 14) . Furthermore, we have studied the reaction of freshly isolated rat liver peroxisomes with DAB before and after the fixation with glutaraldehyde . Our observations THE JOURNAL OF CELL BIOLOGY • VOLUME 60, 1974 • pages 303-311 303 indicate that glutaraldehyde inhibits the catalatic activity of catalase while apparently enhancing the oxidation of several hydr

The woman, originally from Zimbabwe, kept the dagga in her rented house in Oukasie and the Brits police reacted to a tip-off from the Crime Intelligence Unit.
"Police officers found a number of plastic bags full of dagga. The suspect appeared in the Brits Magistrates' Court on Wednesday for possession of dagga," said Brits police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Mpeile Talane.
In another incident the Brits police and Crime Intelligence Unit arrested two 'visitors' to the Losperfontein prison who was planning to smuggle dagga into the holding cells. "The two men pretended to be visitors to the prison last Tuesday, but the police received a tip-off and found the dagga in their possession that they were planning to smuggle in. They were arrested," Talane said.

For me it is not true... Because i remember the top 1 in the list is the most controversial couple because of the scandal of kim so eun with the other guy during their wgm days and the fact that she answered critically to one of the interviews about them. So in other words, they are noy deserving to be the top 1 in the list but im not against with them.

Wait, what?! No TeukSora? No GongLee? C'mon AKP must've forgotten how Teukie was so into Sora, I can still remember when he said that he's worried if he's the only one feeling something when SJ had the U.S. tour. And GongLee? Jonghyun saying Seung Yeon was pretty basically a million times? Natural skinship? Author must be drunk...
