Marine Well Containment Company (MWCC) announced the availability of a 10,000 psi capping stack for use in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The completion of the new capping stack – which stands 25 feet tall including the necessary lifting gear and weighs approximately 50 tons – marks another step in MWCC's commitment to advancing well containment capabilities in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico, MWCC said.
The capping stack, which can handle up to 10,000 pounds of pressure per square inch, is an addition to the company's containment system first made available in February 2011. It is the smaller of two capping stacks available with MWCC's system which, with support from MWCC, provides operators more options to customize a containment plan based on the specifics of the wells being drilled.
"The 10k psi capping stack is a result of feedback we received from member companies who operate facilities with wells closer together that are not as easily accessed by our larger capping stack," said Marty Massey, chief executive officer of Marine Well Containment Company.
In support of MWCC, Shell agreed to lead the design and construction efforts for the 10,000 psi capping stack. With a footprint of 9 feet by 9 feet, the new capping stack is easier to maneuver in areas where wellheads and riser systems are closely spaced, such as tension leg platform (TLP) applications where wells are beneath a floating production facility, MWCC said. The new dual ram capping stack can cap a well in depths up to 10,000 feet.
The 10,000 psi capping stack is an addition to the 15,000 psi capping stack – the centerpiece of MWCC's interim containment system. In July 2012, the 15,000 psi capping stack was deployed offshore in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico to a simulated well site where MWCC validated its ability to respond to a deepwater well control incident. At the request of regulators, MWCC mobilized and lowered the capping stack 6,900 feettsubsea where all necessary functions were completed and pressure testing confirmed the ability to control a well.

Compare Types of Hybrid Car Technologies
E85 EthanolA growing number of vehicles can run on an 85 percent blend of ethanol, but finding E85 vehicles can be tricky.
ElectricQuestion internal combustion. Pure electric cars are here. The choice is limited for now, but high volume is coming.
HybridToday's gas-electric hybrids, like the Toyota Prius, are among the most fuel efficient and greenest cars among vehicles relying on internal combustion power. All-electric cars are cleaner and require no fuel, but hybrids still sell better having no "range anxiety," as well as costing comparably less, and with ability to refuel at the gas pump.
HydrogenHydrogen-powered cars are slowly becoming a reality. Limited-production models are being offered to a handful of drivers.
Plug-in HybridSeveral carmakers have or are planning to introduce 100+ mpg-hybrids that can be plugged into the electric grid.
Small CarThe best strategy for fuel efficiency is to downsize. And there are many stylish and sporty options.
Stop-StartA stop-start hybrid is the simplest form of hybridization, if one wants to classify it as a "hybrid" at all, or merely an aid to efficiency. Automakers are putting this technology not only on gas-electric hybrids, but even straight internal combustion vehicles to save fuel. The engine does not need to run at a stop, and the engines are engineered so restart does not adversely affect their lifespan.

MLB News
The Indians are thinking of trading Nick Swisher. This is a big problem.
Last year the Indians selected a Governor of Brohio as a Swisher tie-in. What becomes of him? I think, per the constitution of the State of Brohio, that guy actually becomes the Tribes starting first baseman if Swisher is unable to perform his duties.
And where would you trade Swisher anyway? BroYork? Broladelphia? Broakland? Chicagbro? To the Baltimore Broioles? If youre doing a challenge trade that might work as the Indians could get Ubaldbro Jimenez back, but they let him go a year ago for petes sake.
At this point I think itd be hard to move Swisher. Especially with that contract. Maybe if he waived the $30 million he was owed and requested free agency he could persuade a team in Bropan to sign him. Like, say, the Hiroshima Broyo Carp. Or the Brokohama Bay Stars.
No, hed never sign with the Bromiuri Giants. That organization is far too conservative to be interested in Swisher. Lets not be silly here.
MLB National League Central Predictions
The National League Central is usually a wild and unpredictable division. With no powerhouse favorite in the division this season, it looks to be even wilder than in past years. Despite the play the division may feature this season, here is the way I see things panning out, baseball betting needs to pay attention.
- The St. Louis Cardinals: The Cardinals have the best top of the rotation combo in the division hands down. They also feature the top free agent signing of the offseason and that Albert Pujols guy. With the emergence of Ryan Franklin as a more the solid option at the end of the game, look for the Cardinals to edge out the competition with their veteran leadership and strong starting pitching.
- The Cincinnati Reds: The Reds have surprised a great deal of people with their slight lead over the Cardinals so far this season. With a solid late inning combo of Author Rhodes and Francisco Cordero and a surprising amount of pop in the lineup, look for the Reds win a great deal more games than expected this season.
- The Milwaukee Brewers: Despite being ten games under .500 at the moment, the Brewers will win enough game to keep them in contention on offensive firepower alone. This, however, will not help their dismal starting pitching and uncertainty Trevor Hoffman has shown them this season. Look for the Brewers to have another season hovering around the .500 mark.
- The Chicago Cubs: The Cubs have a great deal of bloated contracts and old players that fill their roster. When Carlos Silva turns out to be your ace, you know you are in trouble. With little bang for their buck in the lineup and an out of whack starting rotation, look for Lou Piniella to blow more than a few gaskets this year.
- The Pittsburgh Pirates: The good news is that Pirates have a great shot at not finishing last in the division. The bad news is that they look to be making little to no progress as a franchise. Look for the Pirates futility to continue this season and for them to collect another top draft pick for 2011.
- The Houston Astros: The sheer awfulness of the Astros offense has been shocking to say the least this year. When Roy Oswalt wants to leave town, you know things have gotten out of hand. Look for the Astros the scrape the bottom of the division the entire season.
That is how I see the division shaping up. If the Cards can stay healthy, I really do not see anyone challenging them for the division crown, and those of you into baseball betting need to take notice. The NL Central is a wild one to say the least, though. The one thing we do know is that the NL Central is sure to be one of the most exciting divisions in baseball this year.

MLB: Baseball bettors jumping on Giants
Whether its at home or on the road, the San Diego Padres have gotten the best of the San Francisco Giants this season. The first-place Padres look for a fifth straight win over the Giants on Wednesday night. After sweeping a three-game set from the Giants at home April 19-21, San Diego (20-12, +9.4 units) won 3-2 on Tuesday at San Francisco in the series opener between the NL West frontrunners. For tonights game, Sportsbook.com shows the Giants as -180 favorites, after opening the line at -145.
Three of the Padres four wins over San Francisco (18-13, +3.8) have been decided by one run, moving them to 14-6 in night games.
David Eckstein had a two-run single and four relievers held the Giants scoreless over 4 1/3 innings as San Diego improved to 3-1 on a six-game road trip.Weve been feeling good, said Heath Bell, who recorded his ninth save to secure San Diegos third straight win at San Francisco.
San Diego has allowed six runs against the Giants this season, including two by a bullpen thats among the best in the majors with a 2.58 ERA. The Padres are 16-6 with a hot bullpen whose WHIP is under 1.200 the last 10 games this season.
That solid pitching has enabled the Padres to provide just enough offense to keep beating the Giants. San Diego has scored 12 runs and hit .235 against the Giants this season. The Padres were the recipient of 12 San Francisco walks but stranded 15 runners Tuesday. We want to get them in, San Diego manager Bud Black said.
Eckstein, however, is 7 for 13 in his last four games and batting .318 with six RBIs in his last six against the Giants.
The Padres scored all their runs Tuesday against Barry Zito, who allowed seven walks. They could face a stiffer challenge with Matt Cain (2-1, 2.79 ERA, 1.009 WHIP) on the mound.
After giving up seven runs in his first two starts, Cain has yielded six in his last four and two with five hits in 15 innings to win his last two outings.
Coming off an eight-inning, one-hit effort against Colorado on May 1, Cain took a no-hitter into the sixth before allowing two runs and four hits in seven innings of a 6-3 win at Florida on Thursday. What a job he did, manager Bruce Bochy told the Giants official website. The right-hander and his teammates are 11-3 when he pitches off a loss.
Cain is 4-6 with a 2.91 ERA in 19 starts versus the Padres. He allowed two runs in six innings of a 3-2, 10-inning loss at San Diego on April 19.
San Diegos Clayton Richard (1-2, 3.34, 1.543), who gave up one run in 6 1/3 innings in that game against Cain and the Giants last month, takes the ball in this contest. The left-hander, whose 0-1 with a 6.10 ERA in two starts against San Francisco, gave up three runs and five walks in five innings of a 6-5, 12-inning loss to Colorado last Wednesday.
It was not having command of my fastball. And when I dont have that, its going to be a rough slide, Richard told the Padres official website. Richard is an after dark hurler with San Diego 15-6 when he takes the mound with the lights on.
Aubrey Huff is 4 for 7 against Richard and had two hits with an RBI on Tuesday for the Giants, whove lost three of four. Huff is batting .417 with nine RBIs in his last 10 games.
Sportsbook.com has seen almost all one-sided action, as the Giants went from -145 favorites to -180 on the money line with total Un7.5. San Fran is 24-12 vs. NL starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.50 or better and 17-5 OVER against clubs in their league allowing 3.8 or less runs a game on the season. When the total falls into that range, Richard is 12-5 when the number is 7 to 8.5. (Padres Record)
This battle for the top spot in the NL West has 10:15 Eastern start and is available in both local markets as well as MLB.TV and San Diego is 24-13 OVER as a road underdog of +150 or more.

This invention relates to moisturizing compositions for use in skin care, and more particularly to moisturizing lotions.
A wide variety of moisturizing lotions ("moisturizers") are available to consumers. Many of these moisturizers are emulsions that contain relatively high levels of lipophilic materials, such as oils, emollients, lipophilic emulsifiers and/or fatty polyols. Moisturizers containing such ingredients may have a tacky feel, and/or poor "rub-in" properties, i.e., the moisturizer will tend to leave a noticeable residue or film on the skin surface, rather than being readily absorbed.
Attempts to improve the skin-feel and rub-in properties of such emulsions have generally focused on reducing the particle size of the droplets in the emulsion, e.g., by forming micro- or nano-emulsions. Micro-emulsions typically require relatively large amounts of emulsifiers and/or surfactants to provide emulsion stability—ingredients which may potentially cause skin irritation—while formation of nano-emulsions may require high shear or phase inversion temperature processing, which may limit the range of ingredients that can be included in the moisturizer.
Some cosmetic formulations include phospholipids to provide a combination of moisturizing properties and good aesthetic properties, e.g., skin-feel and rub-in. While phospholipids provide a good balance of properties, they are generally relatively expensive, and may pose shelf stability issues under some storage conditions.
The present invention provides moisturizing compositions containing multi-layered vesicles, e.g., microvesicles. The use of such vesicles as the moisturizing component of the compositions provides a good balance of moisturizing properties and desirable aesthetic properties such as good rub-in and good skin after-feel (i.e., skin feels smooth and hydrated). Preferred compositions are relatively low cost, and can be produced using conventional mixing and homogenization techniques, without the need for excessively high shear or the use of deleteriously high levels of skin-irritating surfactants or emulsifiers. The use of preferred vesicles allows a wide range of skin care actives, including water- and oil-soluble ingredients, to be delivered to the user without compromising moisturization or aesthetic properties.
The invention features moisturizing compositions including 60% to 90% water, and, as a moisturizing active, a plurality of bilayered microvesicles.
In one aspect, the bilayered microvesicles include an ethoxylated polyol ester of a fatty acid, a sterol, and a long chain fatty alcohol.
In another aspect, the bilayered microvesicles include an ethoxylated polyol ester of a fatty acid, a sterol, and a long chain fatty alcohol in a ratio in the range of about 1.0:0.4:1.7 to 1.0:0.3:1.2, and each of the bilayered microvesicles includes a plurality of bi-layers.
In a further aspect, the invention features a method of making a moisturizing composition including combining an aqueous phase and a lipid phase, the lipid phase including an ethoxylated polyol ester of a fatty acid, a sterol, and a long chain fatty alcohol, under sufficient agitation to form an emulsion.
The ingredients may be heated prior to or during the combining step. The combining step may include first blending the ethoxylated polyol ester of a fatty acid, the sterol, and the long chain fatty alcohol and any other components of the lipid phase to form a mixture, and then adding the aqueous phase to the mixture.
The details of one or more embodiments of the invention are set forth in the accompanying drawings and the description below. Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description and drawings, and from the claims.
Preferred moisturizing compositions include water, and, as a moisturizing active, a plurality of bilayered microvesicles composed of an ethoxylated polyol ester of a fatty acid, a sterol, and a long chain fatty alcohol. These components together define an emulsification system.
Some preferred compositions may also include other ingredients, for example a stabilizer, a skin care active such as a vitamin, anti-irritant or sunscreen, and/or one or more emollients. In some implementations the composition may also include a thickener.
By "bilayered microvesicles," we mean spherical structures having one or more bi-layers, each bi-layer being composed of amphiphilic materials (i.e., materials having both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties) aligned in two parallel rows. The lipophilic portions of each row are aligned towards each other, forming a bilayer interface, and the hydrophilic portions are aligned away from the bilayer interface. Where there are multiple bilayers, adjacent hydrophilic portions are positioned towards each other.
When included in an otherwise similar formulation, preferred microvesicles provide moisturizing and aesthetic properties comparable to those that are typically provided by phospholipids. The microvesicles typically have a particle size of less than about 1 micron, preferably from about 100 nm to 1 micron
The bilayered microvesicles are formed using three basic ingredients: (a) an ethoxylated polyol ester of a fatty acid, (b) a sterol, and (c) a long chain fatty alcohol. These ingredients will be discussed in detail below. Because of the use of this combination of ingredients, the microvesicles can be formed without high shear. Preferably, the microvesicles are formed by blending these ingredients together, along with any other lipophilic ingredients of the composition, and combining the resulting lipophilic mixture with the water and any other aqueous ingredients under adequate agitation (e.g., using a Heidolph-Brinkmann Lab Mixer with a square blade impeller at 120 to 150 rpm) to form an emulsion. It is generally preferred that the lipophilic and aqueous components be heated prior to or during mixing and emulsification to facilitate these processes. Heating temperatures will vary depending on the ingredients used, but are typically in the range of 50-100� C., e.g., about 75� C. After emulsification, the emulsion may be homogenized, e.g., for about 2 minutes at about 55� C. using a standard overhead homogenizer. Temperature sensitive materials, e.g., vitamins, preservatives, fragrances, botanical extracts, and essential oils may be added and mixed in under lower temperature and low shear conditions, after the emulsification and homogenization steps described above have been completed. A brief further homogenization step can be performed after all ingredients have been added.
The ethoxylated polyol ester of a fatty acid generally functions as a primary emulsifier, allowing the three ingredients to form an oil-in-water emulsion under relatively low shear conditions. The ethoxylated polyol ester of a fatty acid has a polyol (polyhydric alcohol) backbone, in which one of the hydroxy groups on the polyol is replaced with a fatty acyl group and another of the hydroxy groups on the polyol is replaced with a polyethoxy ether group. Suitable polyols (polyhydric alcohols) include those having 3 to 6 carbon atoms and 2 to 6 hydroxy groups such as, for example, glycerine, butylene glycol, pentylene glycol, propylene glycol and mixtures thereof. Suitable fatty acyl groups will have a medium fatty acyl chain length, such as C10 to C16, preferably C12. A suitable ethoxylation range is about 7 to 30 ethoxy units, preferably 20 units. An example of a suitable ethoxylated polyol ester of a fatty acid is PEG-20 glyceryl laurate. Typically, the composition includes from about 0.5% to 15.0% of the ethoxylated polyol ester of a fatty acid, preferably about 1% to 3% and more preferably about 1.6% to 2%.
The sterol generally functions as a stabilizer, enhancing the stability of the microvesicles, and also provides moisturizing properties. Suitable sterols include cholesterol, phytosterols such as soya glycine sterol, and lanosterol, as well as mixtures of two or more of these sterols. Typically, the composition includes from about 0.5% to 10.0% of the sterol, preferably about 0.5% to 5%, more preferably about 0.5% to 1%, and most preferably about 0.6% to 0.8%.
The long chain fatty alcohol generally functions as a "wall builder," forming the membrane walls of the vesicle and providing moisturizing properties. Preferred fatty alcohols generally have chain lengths of C16 to C30, preferably C18 to C24. Suitable fatty alcohols include stearyl alcohol, arachidyl alcohol, lignoceryl alcohol, behenyl alcohol and mixtures of two or more of these alcohols. Typically, the composition includes from about 0.5% to 20% of the fatty alcohol, preferably about 1% to 10% and more preferably about 2% to 3%.
Preferably, the ethoxylated polyol ester of a fatty acid, the sterol and the long chain fatty alcohol are provided in a ratio in the range of about 1:0.2-0.5:1-2, preferably 1:0.3-0.4:1.2-1.7. The ratio is selected to ensure adequate emulsification of the hydrophobic ingredients and to achieve structural stability of the emulsion, as well as to provide the product with sufficient "body" and a cosmetic feel.
Additional amphiphiles that may be a part of the bilayers include the following: monoesters of polyols, e.g., glyceryl monoesters, propylene glycol monoesters, sorbitan monoesters and sucrose monoesters; other low HLB ethoxylated fatty alcohols, e.g., ethoxylated fatty alcohols having 2-4 ethoxy units and a fatty chain length of C12-18; fatty amides, e.g., stearoylamide and cocoamide; and phospholipids. Generally, the composition may include about 0.1% to 10.0% of such additional amphiphiles.
Suitable skin care actives include oil and water soluble vitamins; anti-irritants, e.g., bisabolol and glycyrrhyzinic acid; and organic and inorganic sunscreens, e.g., octyl methoxycinnamate, benzophenone, avobenzone, octyl salicylate, homosalate, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. In some implementations the composition will include from about 0.1 to 20% total skin care actives. If it is desired that the composition have an SPF of 15, the composition will typically include from about 7 to 13% of an organic sunscreen, or about 5 to 10% of an organic sunscreen and about 0 to 3% of an inorganic sunscreen. Suitable emollients include esters of linear or branched fatty alcohols and fatty acids with a fatty acyl chain length of from C6 to C14, e.g., isononyl isonanoate, dioctyl sebacate, isooctyl isooctanoate, and dioctyl adipate; hydrocarbons, e.g., squalane, petrolatum and mineral oil; natural waxes, e.g., carnauba wax, candelilla wax, and beeswax; vegetable oils, e.g., sunflower oil, sesame oil and olive oil; and silicones, e.g. cyclomethicone and dimethicone. The composition may include any desired amount of these ingredients that will not deleteriously effect the performance, aesthetics or stability of the composition, typically from about 0 to 20%, preferably about 0.5 to 5%, more preferably about 1 to 2%.
In some implementations the composition may also include a water-soluble thickener, e.g. polyacrylamide, polysaccharide and/or oil-soluble thickener, e.g., pentaerythrityl tetrastearate. The composition may further include other conventional cosmetic ingredients such as preservatives, colorants, fragrances and essential oils.
Sufficient water is included to provide an emulsion and give the composition a desired viscosity. Preferred compositions generally include from about 60 to 90% water, which will typically produce a light cream having a viscosity (Brookfield Viscosimeter, RVT spindle # 5, 10 rpm, 5th revolution) from about 10,000 to 30,000 cps under the processing conditions described above.
The percentages given above are percentages by weight, on a solids basis.
A composition was prepared having the following formulation:

Lipophilic materials were mixed together and heated to 75� C. to provide a clear lipid blend. Water and the temperature stable solutes were heated to 75� C. The oil and aqueous phases were then combined with adequate agitation and maintained at 75� C. for 30 min. The resulting oil-in-water emulsion was then cooled to 55� C. and homogenized briefly (2 min) using a standard overhead homogenizer.
Under examination using light microscopy, the resulting emulsion appeared as microvesicles of less than 500 nm diameter. Temperature-sensitive materials (vitamins, preservatives, fragrances, botanical extracts, essential oils) were then added at 40� C. with agitation. Silicones were added at 40� C., followed by addition of thickener and brief homogenizing (2 min). At room temperature the product had the appearance of a white light cream having a viscosity of 15,000-30,000 cps.
A number of embodiments of the invention have been described. Nevertheless, it will be understood that various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, other embodiments are within the scope of the following claims.

Nuclear regulators have found two lapses "of substantial safety significance" in a 2013 plant accident that killed one young worker and injured eight others in Arkansas.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission categorized the inspection findings at the Arkansas Nuclear One facility as yellow, the second-highest of four levels of safety significance. The agency announced its findings Tuesday (June 24).
Million-Pound Component
Workers were moving a 525-ton component out of the Russellville plant's turbine building to replace it on March 31, 2013, when a temporary lifting assembly collapsed and caused the component to fall.
The accident killed Wade Walters, 24, an iron worker for Precision Surveillance Corp., of East Chicago, IN. Eight other workers were injured; four, seriously.
Wade Walters (left) worked for Precision Surveillance Corp. (right), a provider of heavy lift and equipment transport services. Walters was killed and eight other workers were injured by a falling million-pound component.
The incident caused a "small explosion" inside some electrical cabinets, knocking out power to key systems at both units of the plant.
Plant operator Entergy Operations Inc. declared a "Notice of Unusual Event," the lowest of four emergency classifications. There was no radiation release during the incident.
Health and Safety Citations
In September, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued a total of 26 safety violations and $175,000 in fines against four employers at the scene:
According to a check of OSHA records Wednesday (June 25), all four employers are contesting the citations in the case.
Failure to Inspect, Test
NRC inspectors responded to the site on the day of the incident. They completed their inspection May 9, 2013, and held a public meeting that day in Russellville to discuss their findings.
Operator Entergy Operations responded appropriately after the accident at Arkansas Nuclear One, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission concluded.
One week later, the agency issued an 87-page report that included five findings: one deemed red (high safety significance); one deemed yellow (substantial safety significance);and three deemed green (very low safety significance).
Agency inspectors determined that the assembly collapse had "resulted from the licensee's failure to adequately review the assembly design and ensure an appropriate load test in accordance with its procedures or approved standards."
After meeting May 1 with Entergy officials, the NRC reduced the red finding to yellow.
What's Next
Entergy has 30 days to respond to the NRC's findings . After that, the NRC will "determine the appropriate level of agency oversight and notify Entergy officials of the decision in a separate letter," the agency said in a statement.
Entergy will not face monetary penalties in the case, an NRC spokesman said Wednesday.
Comment from robert turner, (6/26/2014, 8:29 AM)
In Navy nuclear work, we design to 1/5 of Ultimate strength or the 1/3 of Yield of the material, whichever is more limiting. additionally, we apply a minimum 150% load test for these types of handling devices. And the load test is never waved.
Lifting devices get different tests.

Pakistani fighter jets have bombed suspected militant hideouts in the tribal region of North Waziristan, killing at least 32 people, military sources said.
"Fighter jets started bombing militant positions early on Wednesday," said a senior military official in Miranshah, the capital of North Waziristan.
"Before the launch of the air strikes, we had confirmed intelligence information about hideouts of the militants and their top commanders."
Another military source said at least 32 people "including important commanders" had been killed.
Local residents, speaking anonymously for fear for their safety, said the strikes also killed several civilians. The claims could not be independently verified.
The lawless tribal area is off limits to foreign journalists and the Pakistani army didn't release any statements.
Waziristan is part of Pakistan's tribal region, which is home to local and al-Qaida-linked foreign militants who have been waging a bloody war against the state, killing thousands of people.

$45,000 Burns Manuscript Joins The Homecoming
National Library of Scotland
has acquired at auction a unique manuscript poem by Robert Burns. 'The Battle of Sherra-moor' or, to give its full title, 'On the Battle of Sheriff-Muir, Between the Duke of Argyle and the Earl of Mar', is an account of a 1715 battle between Hanoverian troops (Argyle) and the Jacobites (Mar). The manuscript will be on display from tomorrow at a major Burns symposium in Washington s Library of Congress, where First Minister Alex Salmond is giving a keynote address, before completing its homecoming.
The Battle of Sheriff-muir was so closely fought that it was difficult to establish who, if anyone, had actually won, and so Burns writes from the point of view of two shepherds who, despite having watched the same series of events, each form a wildly different interpretation of what they have seen. One of Burns's speakers believes that 'The red-coat lads wi' black cockauds' routed the rebels, painting a fearful picture of how they 'hough'd the Clans like nine-pin kyles'. The other is just as convinced that the Jacobites 'did pursue / The horse-men back to Forth , man' with the eventual result that '... mony a huntit, poor Red-coat / For fear amaist did swarf, man'. A contemporary parallel might be the varying accounts of two opposing football fans on a game they have both just watched.
The song was adapted by Burns from a broadside by John Barclay entitled Dialogue between Will Lick-Ladle and Tom Clean-Cogue. Burns wrote it around 1790, during or after his tour of the Highlands which inspired his interest in Jacobite history. The manuscript acquired by NLS dates from after the poems initial publication in Volume III of the Scots Musical Museum in 1790 and shows changes which were made for the 1800 edition of the Works of Robert Burns by his editor, James Currie.
The song was adapted by the Corries in the 1970s as 'The Sherramuir Fight', and a reading of the 1790 version by Scottish actor Robert Carlyle is available on the BBC website (
The manuscript has been in private hands for many years in Switzerland and the United States , and NLS Director of Collections and Research Cate Newton said: We are delighted to acquire the only known manuscript of 'The Battle of Sherra-moor'. The poem itself is of interest because of its unusual form and the historical subject matter, and this manuscript includes textual variants from the published versions of the poem. It also throws light on Burns's views on the Jacobites, an aspect of his life which remains the subject of considerable debate and interest. We believe the price is fair for a manuscript of a Burns poem of this significance and quality, and it is very appropriate that it returns to Scotland in this Homecoming year.
The First Minister, Alex Salmond, who will be seeing the original manuscript at the Burns symposium in Washington , said: Im delighted that this unique piece of Burns history will be coming home to Scotland in this, the 250th anniversary year of our national Bard. We have made 2009 Scotland s Year of Homecoming, a celebration of Scotland s friendships around the world, to mark this milestone in Burns legacy.
'The Battle of Sherra-moor' is a perfect example of the contribution made by Robert Burns it perfectly demonstrates his ability to assume and understand the point of view of others. It is from this capacity for empathy that his humanitarian views grew. They have been and remain, to this day, an inspiration for people around the globe from Abraham Lincoln to Kofi Annan. The addition of this manuscript to the National Library of Scotland s collection will give Scots and homecomers alike a chance to trace, from the root, the extension of this aspect of Scottish identity into the modern world and help keep these values alive.
The acquisition comes in the year of the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns. Fans of the Bard will have the chance to see some of the treasures from the National Burns Collection during 2009 as the exhibition Zig-Zag: the paths of Robert Burns tours Scotland as part of the Year of Homecoming celebration. The exhibition is currently at Aberdeen Gallery until April, and later in the year it will go on to Dumfries and Glasgow . The exhibition includes iconic items such as manuscripts of Auld Lang Syne and Tam OShanter as well as a first edition of Burnss first published work and Alexander Nasmyths famous portrait of the poet. The National Library of Scotland will be displaying facsimiles of some of these treasures alongside the original of the Battle of Sherra-muir at the symposium in Washington . The musical theme continues next month at NLS with the opening of the spring exhibition, Scots Music Abroad.
