Setting Limits
I have three children, aged one, three and five and they always want everything right away! We try to tell them to wait until Shabbat before eating the chocolate or to wait until their birthday for us to buy them a new toy. But all we get in response is tantrums! We try to hold our ground, but is it really worth all the trouble?
Dear Jessica,
This is a constant challenge for all of us in this generation! Parents are becoming increasingly uncomfortable with setting limits for their kids because they fear upsetting them.
We especially face this challenge when kids are playing with digital devices which offer no limits to the music they can listen to or the websites and videos they can access.
So your question is: Is it worth taking a stand? The answer: Absolutely!
As tempting as it is to give in to our children's demands, when we do so we teach them that they can get their own way in life by becoming emotional. Instead, we want them to develop the capacity for self-control, so they understand the meaning of 'enough' and 'stop'. We want them to learn that reaching a state of calm is not dependent on getting their own way. And we want them to grow into adolescents and adults who manage their emotional challenges intelligently and effectively.
This is also true for your younger children. You can't give your toddlers whatever they demand and then, once they reach the age of five, expect them to develop patience. Accustom your kids during their earliest years to realise that they won't get their way through screaming and being rude.
Here are some practical tips for teaching your children this lesson:
- The great 19th century Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch taught that we should be careful not to forbid anything unnecessarily. However, once you forbid it, stick to your guns!
- If your child reacts by having a tantrum, validate his feelings and help him to identify the name of his negative emotion.
- Then, guide him toward finding another way to calm down, such as listening to music or listening to you read his favourite book.
Good Luck!
I have two children. One of them is an angel! Of course, I love the other one, but he is so difficult – always fighting and never doing as he is told! How do I guide him, so he can behave better?
Dear Mike,
There is a famous phrase in the Book of Proverbs: Educate the child according to his way. That means that each child is unique and, as such, we must raise them in a way that is tailored to his or her personality.
There was a great Chassidic Rebbe who was murdered in the Holocaust, Rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Shapira. He challenges parents (and teachers) to reach the hidden soul spark in each child and nurture it. He explains that this involves understanding the way the child thinks and speaking to him on that level.
So, practically, what does this mean?
Firstly, don't demand something of your child that he or she is not ready for or is not ready to understand. For example, not every child is ready to sit at the table throughout a long meal. To force him to do so, is counterproductive.
Secondly, identify the positive in your child's characteristics. Jewish tradition teaches that all characteristics have some positivity and the challenge is to apply them appropriately. If your child is always fighting, he must have a great deal of energy. Maybe he can use that vitality to do a project that can help people. If he doesn't like to do as he is told, he obviously has a strong independent will. You can use his initiative to develop ideas for family activities. Obviously, he must be taught to balance his ideas with the preferences of other family members, but the starting point is to take his strengths and abilities and teach him to use them for something positive.
As he develops more strengths, you can help him to think about how he can put them to good use. If he loves reading, he can volunteer to read to the blind. If he enjoys writing, he can be a pen pal to an overseas orphan. Affirm and cultivate his talents and you will nurture his soul.
A final, beautiful piece of advice which is offered by Rabbi Joseph Telushkin. Once a week, take a moment to praise each of your children by highlighting a unique talent or attribute he or she possesses. This will compel you to discover that which is distinctive and about each of your children.
Anthony Knopf is the rabbi of Congregation Beth Ora in Montreal and the father of four children.

DANI to the students of Life:
I am picking up the pace on The Writing Life, which I intend to publish this fall. I haven't shared most of it with you -- its about 800 pages long now -- but as I work out more of the latest sections, I am eager to share them. Allism is above all the creation of a language, a language we can live within. This essay explores the themes of the Aria again, lightly -- that is, the idea of having a "room of one's one" to create, read, think, and relax in, having sacred space and sacred time where no body is allowed to transgress -- but I also explore some new terms such as "resonators" or symbols that set a field of meaning, and I also explain how I understand that symbols are to concepts as concepts are to percepts: a more comprehensive way of understanding something. With the five fold breakdown of human wisdom -- history - science / philosophy / religion - art -- the center three are layers of one thing, the study of the eternal, sensually in science, mentally in philosophy, and spiritually in religion. I do not mean faith as in something to have faith in. What I call religion and faith and the divine are self-evident, and once we come to terms, could not be disputed by any sincere person. Behind the language, we are already in agreement.
Take care, Caretakers!
Emanation of Place and Language
The world is made of meaning. When meaning is defined, it becomes lawful and joins the world Undefined meaning outside the world -- is that not where our unnamable name also exists, that inner gravity of our hidden sun?
And so in our world we set in place the infinite resonators. These are bits of art that evoke always a certain differentiated energy, certain meanings. They are symbols. The past is history, the projected future is art, and the eternal is in science, philosophy, and religion. Perceptions and their exact measurement against other perceptions give us science; abstractions and their working with the ideas of other abstractions gives us philosophy; symbols and their structuring of everything through reference to themselves gives us religion. Perceptions, concepts, and symbols shows the increasing height of the mind. We are all scientists, we are all scientists, we are all priests; only we emphasize more this or that. Ever man has a cosmic mind, but only a few realize it. Most Christians let their religion believe for them. They don't perform real miracles, and so the divine has not really dwelled within them. But they rest assured that somebody somewhere sometime has done a miracle, and their knowing that, "believing" that is as much as they can or should do in this world. That is why the best they could hope to are angels, like those ridiculous men who dance and sing around Jericho following the oh so divine lesson that obedience is always good even if it offends reason. They will get what they deserve.
We set infinite resonators, and they could be the skin between two people, the relationship. Every relationship has a skin a set of living boundaries that cannot be transgressed without violence to the heart. This man is my inspirer, that woman is my temptress, but to themselves they are something else completely. I set them in place to generate the ambience necessary for my growth, and they mutually set my in place for a reciprocal role.
I return to these friends and treat them like my personal history and like the books I study: each becomes a palimpsest, a text so buried in layers after layers of notes, as I cycle through my days, ever studying the same ideas, spiraling infinitely inwards with the spiral of backwards time and th spiraling infinitely outwards of progress, till I have comprehended a thing, and joined minds with it.
Do I speak in our friendship of friendship? Do I talk in our marriage of marriage? But I am ever such a mirror God: a thing thrown back on itself intensifies.
Meditation and prayer are both techniques of emotional hygiene. We pray so that we ourselves may answer them. To regularly state your desires in a humble, matter of fact, persistent, clear formulation clarifies to yourself what you must do. There need to be no God for payers to be answered, and if anything he would only get in the way.
Actions concert affects into affects. Certain personality types create an atmosphere, an emotional ambiance, a tone. That tone is an energy field characterized by overlapping and interacting forces. A man is a center of force and energy, and stands forever situated in the flux of existence.
It has long been my goal to make my own language and live within it. I would avoid the mistakes made by the militarily defeated warriors who revert all their energy to spiritual warfare. The Native American religion becomes supplementary, getting right what Christianity gets wrong, and so being a consequence of Christianity, lacking the audacity of original contact with the divine. Any divine contact that insist on getting it all right is doomed from the start. God makes mistakes. Perfection grows.
The red of the west, the white of the north, the black of the south, the yellow of the east, and the brown of the middle are each resonators, just as the beehive in Salt Lake City, though suffering countless delusions, acts as a resonator, and will only grow more powerful in the world.
Getting the flame to take, getting the seed to root, getting the thing to found its establishment, that is the hardest part, that requires the most anxious care.
Just as the Peloponnesian wars took place only to inspire Thucydides, so too do all our lives on this earth matter to those who follow after us merely in the creation of a few terms, concepts, and above them, symbols. Our way does not follow but is nevertheless informed by tradition. We have our own traditions, but our tradition is also to create private traditions, unique to each individual, to each family, to each church. We believe in the universal traditions, and also the private traditions that we need tell nobody else about.
We participate in a world by playing a role -- by evoking beings by name, by suggesting stories with rituals and sacraments. Our language creates layers, layer worlds over this world, which is also thick with layers. The world is infinitely thick: all planets, all heavens, all samsaras, all realities are in the air around you, in the same way that all the local radio stations are in the air around you, though you have no awareness of it.
Books are mirrors by which we can reflect deep into the souls of geniuses, not only the individual genius of the artist, but the group genius of the world that created him just as surely as he created himself.
We live in a world of percepts and feelings, we abstract those into concepts and ideas, we put them into words and signs, and we enact them in symbols and intuitions. The hero enacts symbols, the poet plays with signs, the philosopher defines concepts, the mystic deeply experiences perceptions and feelings.
The Goddess cannot be mocked. Whatever you mocked isn't her. If you think you blaspheme, then you have mistaken a name or a metaphor for a meaning and reality. Her love and creativity are self-evident: those who know her need not debate, have no apologetics, have no evangelism -- those are all defensive gestures for those who lack -- but such a one is with, and having that power, creates. By silent about God. The True Divine behind all Gods needs nobody to shout from rooftops: the beauty of your life, work, love, and creativity explain everything.
Every discipline teaches the same spiritual lessons. Build houses, paint bedrooms, paint fine art, write philosophy, plumb pipes -- analogical, they are all the same. The spiritual truths of any are equally found in all the rest. All the sciences are analogous; the schools of philosophy are at heart all exactly the same; and all religions teach the same spiritual truth: only superficial forms do the fools dispute one another over.
The mind grows like an expanding sphere. We study a teacher intently, and then are distracted. We think we have forsaken him. But his final lesson had to come from this unrelated distraction, this personal illness, or this chore, or whatever nonsense, chance, mistake, unrelated thing noses into our life. We can only study a thing so much before the mouth of wisdom can drink no more. We are disappointed that we gave up before we understood the lesson. But in fact we are right on schedule: this was a fight we were supposed to lose. Only by trying our best, and finding that our best loses, do we in fact win, though it might be months, years, or even decades before our victory becomes known -- and how often men and women don't make the connection.
The stairway to heaven is not a linear set. We find the next rung of the ladder in the most unlikely of places. We study this prophet, that scientists, that discipline, and then we give up, disillusions. Disillusionment is always just one more illusion, for hope is never wrong, only it must be fully understood. In the after life, nobody will be disappointed. Our own comes to us, every man gets what he deserves, and all men deserve goodness, even if reproach, punishment, and harsh lessons are in order, ultimately, goodness is the lot of mankind.
Meaning and desire, energy and power, selection and will, are the dyads that come down to the basic mental configuration that characterizes all minds. Man has more instincts than any other animal, and because he is pulled in so many directions, he has the freedom to choose among them. The will is after all a feeble beast, a little bit of nothing that can do nothing, except with the right timing, the smallest nudge can save the entire universe. A little swerve, a moving of the electric pulse from this nerve to that, makes all the difference in the world. Habits are the servants and slaves of the mind that empower the will. Habit is throne of the will.
The world itself is ambiguous, externally and internally. The center of the world is our unique set of habits, some which characterize all life, some that characterize mankind, some that are mind and mind alone. All needs express themselves first as unconscious fantasies, that nudge me on the path of fulfillment. As I grow more frustrated, those fantasies become more direct. Sometimes the fantasies are indirect, perhaps embarrassing, or weird, or extreme, or ugly, but ultimately all that is needed is beautiful, as life is beautiful, and merely awaits proper expression in the right environment. All that comes out of a man is good, only what goes into him can be bad. Find the right processing, the right use for all the person's expressions, and you will see he fits perfectly into his world. Find the center, stand at the middle. The place of utter control begins in the aria of your private place of study, reading, creativity, and relaxation. That is the navel of the world. That gut of digestion, that womb of creation, that is your balancing chi from which all things emanate and orbit.
The gods do not fear the ingratitude of those who receive their gifts and blessings. Because they know their worth, the need never receive it second hand, nor dwell on the words of others what they intuitively know of their self worth. Give your gifts. If a gift is well given, it will always be well received, for though the immediate world doesn't show it, the spiritual world shows it, the mythosphere makes the truth stark. Learn to see through these eyes, and you will know that what you gave in love and power grows in the garden of the beloved's heart.
It is embarrassing, isn't it, to share some personal creation, artistic, spiritual, and personal, and listen to the other talk of money. What money could it make? Such a one fancies she praises you when she says she would pay to listen to it, to read it, and that you should market it. But the greatest spiritual triumphs are not marketable. They are priceless.
The immature talk of quantity since they have no eyes for quality. Yet the seed of your beauty is already taking root. It may take decades or lifetimes, but your good seed will yet bear endless fruit in this world and the next.

School Poem
November 8, 2018
I went to school for the first day this year, and I played with my toy car that I could steer.
The teacher was as nice as an angel in the sky, and the pencil she gave me smelled as good as pie.
She also gave me a small, new, pink eraser, and let me draw on a piece of paper.
Then she told us to put everything away, it was time to start the first day.
First we had writing, and then we had recess where we did bird sighting.
Then we came in and we did math, we learned how to to count stones on a path.
Then we left that at 3:05, that's the rule, man how I love Siwanoy school!

08 Oct Understanding the Basics When Buying Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are one of the most predominant characteristics in almost any kitchen. They're the very first thing you notice as soon as you put in your own kitchen, so it is no wonder that picking your cupboard materials and fashion could be nerve-wracking. Obtaining cabinets will have a large effect on your kitchen's appearance in addition to your budget. There are a number of different items to search for in a kitchen cupboard beside layout. As an example, you are going to attempt to ensure value for the money by selecting a cupboard that's durable and fashionable at exactly the exact same moment. Selecting the ideal layout takes a huge array of building techniques utilizing different substances. These cupboards fall into three Chief classes, namely:
- Semi-custom kitchen cabinets: These are very similar to stock cabinets, however, are generally produced per sequence, and homeowners may arrange for fundamental changes in size or pick from a broad selection of molding, trims, and finishes.
- Stock kitchen cabinets: All these are mass-produced kitchen cupboard versions that put in easily; nevertheless they can not be altered to your personal taste unless your stain or decorate them. These cupboards should hence not be an alternative for people who would like to modify the look of the kitchen cabinets later on after installing them. The principal benefits of considering these cupboards are the fact they set up easily and are economical and easily available.
- Custom kitchen cabinets: All these are altered to match your preference and fashion. They are distinctively created and can be rather costly, depending on the materials you may use.
To understand what you will spend on your cupboards, you need to understand the gaps in cupboard construction and materials and how these components affect quality and durability. It's also wise to think about the space you've got on your kitchen and also the sort of lifestyle that you are living before you hurry to buy the cabinets. Contact Cabinet Solutions and get a quote! The present design and décor of your kitchen play a part in the sort of cabinet to pick. This is due to the fact that the cupboard you select will greatly influence the design and appearance of your kitchen. You are able to select updated European-style cabinets for modern kitchens or span cabinets for antique houses. Generally, identifying your favorite style can help you narrow your focus on the alternatives out there. Here are some steps to follow when Purchasing a cupboard on your kitchen:
- Assess your family's lifestyle, cooking customs, and kitchen design. You can achieve it by plotting everything you want to exhibit and store in addition to the accessories which can simplify and arrange your kitchen actions.
- Acquire expert advice in the interior designer, architect, kitchen designer or perhaps in the net. This can allow you to narrow down the options you've got available.
- Pick stock cabinets if you would like to control your prices. Mass-produced inventory closets in standard sizes may leave space on your budget for updates. You will find fewer choices for individual diversity, but a lot of popular accessories and fashions may add allure to your kitchen layout.
Things You Want To Know About Kitchen Cabinet Design
Kitchen cabinet design provides ample alternatives for each and every re-modeler to discover the ideal cabinets for their brand new kitchen. Knowing the fundamental elements of design can allow you to narrow down the collection of alternatives and simplify the choice. A few of those principles relate to the grade of building and many others are a matter of kitchen design and personal preference. See: Kitchen Remodel Cabinet Calculator – Cabinet Solutions
Let us consider each in turn. A couple of the fundamentals of kitchen cupboard design are quality problems. Both are all about taste and style.
1. Material. What material will be used to construct your cabinets? The material is just one of the most significant decisions you'll make as the layout and style of your cabinets will be the significant factors determining the design and style of the full kitchen. You've Got several options:
- Metal (stainless steel, aluminum). Steel could be both costly and heavy to hang. Some metals – particularly those used previously – were subject to rust. The metal may be available in colors or it may be painted. These cabinets also demonstrate some dings or scratches if they're unintentionally hit using a pan, and they'll show scratches. For all these reasons, it's not a popular option in kitchen cupboard layout.
- Wood mixes. Some cabinetmakers utilize less expensive timber, like plywood or walnut, to construct the cabinet case then use doors and outside panels of greater or more expensive wood. Some also use particle board or other composite materials. Any timber cabinets could be painted in the color of your own choice. It's possible to use a shiny finish or a matte finish.
- Engineered wood. These cabinets are made entirely of completed, high quality timber, including hickory, oak, walnut or much more expensive woods such as walnut or cherry. Conventional kitchens and a few country-style kitchens may use a dark timber, including cherry, walnut, mahogany or ebony. Contemporary kitchens often use lighter colour woods like walnut or walnut. You'll wish to take into account the colour the grain of the wood and the finish applied to the wood. Better cabinets are finished with several coats of polyurethane to protect the wood. Strong wood is presently the hottest kitchen cupboard design option.
2. Construction. Low-quality cabinets are usually put together with adhesive or with staples or nails. This isn't a fantastic idea (if you've got the option ) since, under the heavy usage of kitchen cabinets and drawers, then they won't last. Brick cabinets will probably be combined with dovetail construction. This is only one of the most essential features of kitchen cupboard layout.
3. Door Style. There are lots of kinds and designs in cabinet doors. The door design is the principal determiner of kitchen cupboard layout. By way of instance, a modern kitchen would practically require a level panel door layout. Raised panel design, on the other hand, is your favored door design for a conventional kitchen. Other cabinet layouts incorporate these door designs: reveal-overlay panel, panel and frame, beaded frame and panel, square raised panel, curved elevated panel, bead board panel, and cathedral panel.
4. Accessories will be the last standard element of kitchen cupboard layout. Accessories include handles and knobs, business customizations, availability options, and specialization alterations. Knobs and handles must match both the kind of the kitchen (pastoral, worn, glossy ) along with the other alloys used in visible areas from the kitchen. By way of instance, brushed metals operate quite well with stainless steel appliances. There are numerous gadgets and devices which could be set up in cabinets and drawers to organize the materials. Many custom or customs components have these things constructed in. Access items include things such as sliding holes or spinning components (lazy Susan, by way of the instance ) to create items from the cabinets easier to achieve. Specialty alterations are adjustments made to some cabinets to allow them to operate within refrigerated drawers or pub refrigerators, etc..
By knowing these fundamentals of kitchen cupboard layout, you'll be more educated, better educated to ask questions, and much better able to restrict the number of cabinet designs you want to think about so as to pick the cabinets you may use on your kitchen remodel. http://cabinetsolutionsusa.com/products/cabinets-by-style

It's alleged police have mistakenly arrested a man for being in possession of a controlled substance, which later turned out to be a chocolate cake.
The man who doesn't wish to be named told Energy FM News he was parked outside G&D's Bar in Douglas last night when officers stopped to speak to him about minor motoring matters.
The police then asked him if they could search his car, to which the man agreed.
The motorist claims he was then cuffed and told he was being arrested for possession of a controlled substance before being put in a police van.
He says at this time, the officers didn't show him what they had found.
The 27 year old man was taken to the police station and booked into custody.
It was then he says that police admitted there'd been a mistake and what they had actually found in the car was a piece of cake in a clear plastic bag, which his 3 year old son had brought home from nursery.
The man says a huge wave of relief came over him at this point, but he was then left angry about his ordeal.
He is now looking to make a complaint.
Police say they have no comment to make at this time as they wouldn't want to prejudice any complaint process.

WELDING: Pandrol has released the Pandrol Connect app for Android devices which enables live data capture during the aluminothermic welding of rails, saving time on data entry and improving traceability.
This is intended to help infrastructure manager identify defects and assist with cost optimisation by identifying anomalies in weld performance.
The app has three modules:
- a mobile version to record onsite data for welding controllers;
- a monitoring module to review weld information from the office;
- an online administration tool to apply settings to local standards.
All data is stored in the cloud for easy sharing to authorised viewers at contractors and the infrastructure manager.
'This is an important innovation in welding technology, which will mean greater traceability to support contractors and rail network operators', said Thibaut Descamps, Director for aluminothermic welding at Pandrol. 'The app saves a significant amount of time on manual form completion and provides instantly accessible information on each weld at the touch of a button.'

Winter 2020 Anime: Official Info, Airdates & Trailers
Keep warm this winter season with the latest anime info at MANGA.TOKYO!
Last episode, I said that Grimoire of Zero is a peculiar case. The flow of the story suggested that its episodic format is serving justice to the anime. I don't know if that could have been remedied with better directing decisions or even better cliffhangers, but the plot twist of Episode 10 would have been better if Grimoire was a 2-hour movie than a 12-episode anime cour.
Japanese Title: 明かされた真相
Our favorite couple reunites this week in a heartfelt moment that came after Mercenary perfected his Spiderman skills. The tough façade that Zero kept throughout the series broke under the pressure of a sincere apology from Mercenary's side. Zero is a powerful wizard, but she is also a girl who invested in her relationship with a man who she thought would always be by her side. That's the only thing she wanted: for Mercenary to stay true to their bond, to their friendship, to the memories they built together. Her tears were the only proof Mercenary needed to help him go back to his witty self, the one that lets Zero drop into his furry arms and rekindle their relationship. Their chemistry is as smooch as ever and the passion that exist between them could be misinterpreted for almost sexual.
So please, don't leave me again
Albus and Holdem, on the other hand, have exactly the screen time that they need. I still feel that Holdem's escape was a bit too convenient, but someone had to free the wolf so he could save the little mistress. I'm going to repeat myself, but Albus and Holdem went from mere actors to full-fledged protagonists whose part in the story is more than accidental.
And for the plot twist? Ok, who didn't expect that? All that HIM and HIM and HIM. Either Ville Valo was the mastermind behind the Sorcerer's of Zero or Thirteen. Thirteen was the one who had the Grimoire of Zero all along. I have to admit that I was a little disappointed that we didn't have a more formidable opponent than Thirteen, but his plan to kill the same people who have a blood oath with him is twisted enough to elevate him as a formidable villain.
Anger: I wish the production had the time and the inspiration to play better with this scene. The clash of passion and intelligence was very interesting but I had to rely on my own imagination to create a more intense and believable battle. Thirteen didn't seem that angry to me.
The more of your anger you reveal, the more inferior your intelligence comes
Familiar Spirit: Do you remember Harry's owl, Ros's rat, and Hermione's cat? These are similar to the little mouse that brought the message to the big-boobs Sorcerer of Zero. In European folklore, these little critters were supernatural creatures (usually sentient) who assisted witches and wizards. The animal we usually associate with a familiar is the black cat.
It's a fact that the first half of the series was almost boring. The only think that kept the story interesting was the good chemistry between the protagonists. As soon as Zero and Mercenary were split apart, the story took a boost in action and purpose and brought forth the more story-specific details that were until then shadowed by the info damps and the world-building. Imagine a movie that spent the one third of the movie bonding the heroes and telling us more about the world, a second third with Albus and Holden, and a third part with Thirteen and the plot twist.
I am just sad that many viewers were probably disheartened by the first couple of episodes and dropped the series before it started getting interesting.
Lately, I've been quite vocal in my personal otaku circles about my opinion on anime series vs anime movies. Grimoire of Zero is one of those cases I believe would benefit from a recap movie that will take out all superfluous information and give the story the flow it deserves. For now, I am curious to see how our group will be able to conclude this story in a peaceful way.

Posted: October 12, 2010
In Illinois, supporting a minor/dependant child is an obligation of both parents. Generally speaking, the parent with residential care of a child is supporting the child by providing shelter, food, clothing, schooling, medical and related needs for the child. The parent with whom the child visits pays a percentage of his or her income to the residential parent toward the support of the child. In Illinois, the legislature has set forth a minimum statutory guideline for payment of child support based upon the number of children a couple is supporting. The guidelines are as follows:
1 Child..................................20% of net income
2 Children.............................28% of net income
3 Children.............................32% of net income
4 Children.............................40% of net income
5 Children.............................45% of net income
6 Children.............................50% of net income
A court may deviate above or below these guidelines upon the showing of a need for such a deviation. Some of the factors a Court may consider in deviating from the guidelines include:
The financial resources and needs of the child
The financial resources and needs of the custodial parent
The standard of living the child would have enjoyed had the marriage not been dissolved
The physical and emotional condition of the child and the child's educational needs
The financial resources and needs of the non-custodial parent
A lawyer is in the best position to make the case either for or against deviation from statutory guidelines. In some circumstances, a court may set aside portions of the marital property to be held in trust for the child, in place of or in addition to regular child support payments from one parent to another. Child support is separate from, but in some circumstances related to, alimony or spousal maintenance, and your lawyer will make sure it is accounted for during the negotiation of settlement terms.
If you find yourself facing the complications of a divorce in Chicago, Lake County, or Waukegan Illinois, contact our experienced child support lawyers.

Even if you have always worked out regularly, eaten a well-balanced diet and maintained an optimal weight and BMI—you may begin to struggle to maintain an optimal weight as you age. You might not notice it much at first. Maybe you gain 2 to 5 pounds one year which isn't of much concern but multiply that 2 to 5 pounds over a 10 year period and the difference is substantial. Here are just a few reasons why it gets harder to maintain and lose weight as you age.
There are a variety of factors at play but hormones have a lot to do with the weight that slowly creeps on—or why it is more challenging to lose weight than it used to be. Research shows that glucose and insulin production begin to shift as early as 25 years old. With this shift comes a gradual decrease in the rate at which you metabolize your food, and therefore burn calories. With a 2 to 4 percent decline each year weight can slowly begin to creep on. This means you may need to tweak your diet to eat more metabolism-boosting foods.
If you notice that it takes significantly longer to fall asleep than it used to your body may not be producing an adequate amount of the sleep hormone melatonin. Since sleep is an often forgotten factor to healthy living your lack of sleep could be affecting your weight—and more. In addition, you may simply require more sleep to thrive than you did 10 or 20 years ago. An increase in stress or anxiety could also be negatively impacting your sleep.
Growth hormone is something that our body produces until about the age of 30. It is responsible for helping us grow into strong and healthy adults. Once we hit 30 we have no more growth to achieve so our body naturally begins to produce less. The reason this is essential is that with the decrease in growth hormone comes an average loss of half a pound of muscle mass each year. It might not sound like much, but over time this adds up. While exercise is only about 10 percent of the weight loss equation, to get the full 10 percent you will need to increase your strength training. As an added bonus this will help to boost your metabolism.
While it may not feel like you have made any major lifestyle changes in the last few years, odds are there are a few that have gradually shifted somewhere along the way. Maybe you work a desk job when you once used to spend more time on your feet. With your family's busy schedule you may be eating dinner far later in the day than usual. Due to injury, interest or availability you may have abandoned a calorie-burning extracurricular activity. You may have far more stress in your life than you did 10 years ago. These are all changes that can lead to weight gain and all changes that once identified can be adjusted.
Understanding the contributing factors to gradual weight gain is essential to making the changes required to counteract these factors. The good news is, by refining your nutrition, workouts, and lifestyle to support the natural aging process you can get back to your goal weight. Since nutrition is 90 percent of this equation it's the most important change you can make. Reach out to PNC today to learn more about the benefits of personalized nutrition!

The objective of this paper is the analysis of the role of technology gap in explaining the aggregate intensity of Polish exports over the period 1999–2011 in a panel of all possible Polish trade partners. We construct a basic export model in a gravity framework and further augmented by incorporating various measures of technological gap. We find it to play a substantial role in determining the intensity of Polish trade relations. In general, Poland exports more to countries at the similar level of technological sophistication. We test the robustness of the results and find that the impact of technology gap varies with respect to different groups of partners depending on their technological level.

We've setup Connect to expire the FMSCore processes after 2 hours, but if someone is still connected to a recording, it will keep the old zombie FMSCore process until that person disconnects.
It often happens that doesn't work – and there's seemingly no garbage collection in place to clean up old FMSCore.
So we created a simple AutoIt script which can be compiled to an EXE which works, but it has some dependancies…
The following dependencies / commands must all be in place:
How it works
- the script uses pv.exe to find all FMS Core processes which have a command line argument that includes "flvplayerapp" (which is only for recorded courses)
- for each of the returned process ids
- it uses pslist to list details which include the age of the process
- it uses a regex match find the "hours it's been running"
- if longer than 5 hours (a configurable parameter) it uses pskill to kill the process.
So we set this up on an hourly scheduled task and it handles garbage collection for us.

Music can transport us to a different place and time and has the power to evoke the most tangible of memories from some of the biggest moments in our lives. It can take us away from where we really are to the places we long to be instead. Emanating from a speaker, the feeling can be wonderful, but heard on a quality set of headphones or earbuds, the experience can be truly magical. The SMS Audio line of earbuds and earphones by Curtis Jackson (aka 50 Cent) aims to create such a feeling, but does it succeed?
The SMS Audio line includes three different options for listening to your music. First, there's the Street by 50 Earbuds which are available in black or silver. They come with three sets of tips so you can find a pair that fits comfortably in your ears. There's also an attractive hard case with a zipper in the same bright blue you'll find accenting the earbuds themselves.
One of my favorite features about the earbuds is the flat cord that is designed to reduce tangling. I didn't take great care putting these in the case, but every time I took them out they were ready to go without being a tangled mess. The cords have the same bright blue accents as the case so they look great, too. In the event of incoming calls, the music pauses and you talk right through the built-in mic in the volume control and then can easily return to your music.
I found the sound quality much better than average, as you'd expect with a price tag of $119.95. They have an 11mm professionally tuned driver that puts out a clear sound with strong bass and a good range of highs and mids. Although not noise-cancelling, they do block out background noise well unless you're in a truly loud environment where outside noise will intrude. For short-term listening they were very comfortable, but if you listen to music all day, every day, they do feel a bit heavy in your ears in the long-term.
If you're looking for earphones, then SMS Audio has either wired or wireless options. The Street by 50 Over-Ear Wired Headphones come in black or the same attention-getting bright blue of the earbuds. They're made of lightweight plastic with very comfortable memory foam cushions for your ears. They adjust easily and don't feel heavy on your head, even after several hours of wear. One drawback is that they don't fold down for easy transport, but they do come with a nice little drawstring bag to help with that a little. They also don't feel particularly rugged and made me wonder how well they'd survive a few hard knocks or drops.
These are not noise-canceling headphones but have "passive noise cancellation" which means the fit is designed to block out as much noise as possible. They do pretty well here, but in a loud environment you're going to hear those outside noises and I'd think the hum of an airplane would be pretty obtrusive. As with the earbuds, the tangle-free cord is a big plus. This one is round rather than flat-like cord on the earbuds, but it's thick enough that it doesn't come out of the bag as a mess of knots. The cord includes a volume control with mic.
The sound quality is very good with a 40mm driver providing a rich depth of bass notes complemented by a clarity and range to the mids and highs that is impressive. It can be difficult to provide good bass without drowning out other elements, but the Street earphones manage to do it so well that you'll hear notes in your music that you've completely missed in the past. That said, if your priority is loud, head-thumping bass, then these are not your headphones. This doesn't mean the sound isn't exceptional, but that they provide a music experience that pulls out every note of a song rather than focusing on pure, thundering bass. These retail for $249.95 and also include an airplane plug adapter for travel.
The final option in the SMS Audio by 50 Cent line-up is the Sync by 50 Over-Ear Wireless Headphone. These are a pricey set of headphones at $399.95, so my expectations were very high. I did notice a few drawbacks before I even had a chance to give them a listen. First, they don't fold up, so although they come in a hard case to protect them while you're on the go, the case is huge which makes them a poor choice for travelers. Also, like the wired version, they are not noise-canceling. Once I gave them a listen I found that the passive noise cancellation did a good job, but at this price the lack of true noise cancellation is a significant negative.
On the plus side, these feel a good bit sturdier than the wired version and I'd feel a lot better about them surviving rough handling. They include a cord with volume controls and mic in case you want to plug them in, a micro USB charging cable, a USB/AC adapter, an airplane plug adapter, and a wireless transmitter. The headphones and transmitter take about 2 and 1.5 hours respectively to charge, and unfortunately need to be plugged in separately rather than being able to charge through a single cable.
In the end, what you want in a pair of headphones is good sound, and on that front these deliver. The quality of the sound is very similar to the wired version, with the edition of Bass Boost. This is just a small button on the left earpiece that enhances the bass frequencies giving them a deeper sound that, although improved, is still not the thundering bass that some listeners crave.
Volume can also be controlled from earpiece buttons or your device, but features like changing tracks are only available when you make additional purchases for what was already an expensive product. You can get a USB dongle for an additional $80 or a soon-to-be-released 30 pin version for Apple products. So, your snazzy headphones come with buttons that don't work unless you spend even more.
It has a 50' wireless range that requires line of sight so things like trees or walls can interrupt the signal. I wandered about the house and the yard and really didn't find a problem with the signal until I was just about out of range anyway. If you're wondering why they don't connect by Bluetooth, the answer is Kleer Wireless Technology which provides 16-bit CD quality sound with lossless audio. As mentioned, the sound is good, but I don't know that it's good enough to make plugging in transmitters worth the added trouble.
All in all, the SMS Audio by 50 Cent is a good line of products, but with an extremely high price tag. The earbuds and wired headphones were the best choices, and in terms of comfort and design were exceptional and can be easily recommended. The wireless headphones, however, were simply too finicky. With a $400 price tag, no noise-cancellation, and buttons that don't even work without the purchase of additional components, they feel like they're a work-in-progress that missed the mark.
I was provided with these products for review.

Summer is synonymous with freedom. Freedom is one of the main advantages of motorhomes. Therefore, a perfect summer trip can only be traveled by this type of vehicle. Fortunately, in Portugal, abound destinations to go with motorhomes and enjoy each quality of this means of transport. Let"s see the tracks of the Baixo Vouga Lagunar, ideal for those who love nature.
Learn about motorhomes through the Wild Side Campers
Travel with motorhomes in Portugal to discover the natural beauty of the country
In each season, you can find an abundance of wildlife in the Baixo Vouga Lagunar. Incidentally, this is why it is better always carry binoculars and a bird guide to identify each species that can cross with you.
It is best planning your trip with motorhomes in Portugal in order to get there early to this natural destination. Those who are a little early risers have a double luck: on the one hand, they can watch the beautiful awakening of landscape in the morning mist; on the other hand, in the early hours of the day, you can always find one or another animal more elusive. Weasels and otters are just some examples.
Moreover, along the way, you can route through rice paddies flooded, high grass meadows to ripple in the breeze, small forests, waterways flanked by reeds and woodlands that provide welcome shade when the day begins to heat.
Know about the benefits of traveling with motorhomes, with Wild Side Campers
For what reasons the motorhomes are the best options for those who want to travel by this country out?
However, the fauna and flora of this and other Portuguese natural destinations only will be properly enjoyed, if we travel through motorhomes. As already mentioned, freedom is one of the best features of these vehicles. That is, contrary to what happens when we are dependent on other transport, with the motorhomes, there is no stipulated time.
Moreover, as it comes to vehicles that are authentic houses - including infrastructures, such as bedrooms, kitchens and even living rooms - neither is required doing a check in at a hotel, which adds to the feeling of freedom.
Really, the motorhomes are the best options to travel to the discovery of natural landscapes. For example, the options of the Wild Side Campers have the highest score in terms of comfort. After all, motorhomes from this company include an arrival kit, with tea, coffee, sugar, salt, toilet paper, matches, washing up liquid and sponge. We must also highlight the Kit Kitchen: pot with a slide, frying pan, kitchen set (tweezers, spoon, spatula, fork, ladle), cups, mugs, dinner plates and funds, bowls, spoons, forks, knives, handles, kitchen towels and tablecloth .
There is also a security safe, a thermal and acoustic insulation, a living area and dinning with handy removable table, besides extra equipment, like GPS, child seat, outside table, camping chair... Our motorhomes also allow electrical connection at campsite.
For all these reasons, enjoy the summer days to rest and have fun with the Wild Side Campers´ motorhomes

Weekly virtual Afternoon Choir sessions start today on YouTube for people across the West who used to attend sessions - which have been cancelled because of the pandemic.
The one hour internet choir rehearsals will be led alternatively by the choir founder Bath's Grenville Jones, Bristol-based Ben England and Matt Finch who lives in Bath.
Before lockdown there were Good Afternoon Choirs on Mondays in Bristol and Frome. Tuesdays in Wells, Wednesdays in Yate/Chipping Sodbury, South Gloucestershire, Keynsham and North Somerset. Thursdays in Bath and Thornbury and Fridays in Devizes and Yeovil.
Grenville Jones said: "The members come from all walks of life, many with little or no previous singing experience.
"There are no auditions to be a Good Afternoon member as the accent is on fun and making new friends.
"The choirs have a strong fundraising ethos and last year alone they raised over £22,000 which was divided between local charities, with recipients chosen by each individual group."

Understand that what follows isn't a swipe at Harry Potter – having read zero books and seen just one film I can hardly claim to know the man, but something in the story set me thinking . . . You spend years learning magic in an enchanted version of Grange Hill, then what? You leave and get a job as a bank manager? What's the purpose of magic in the wider, troubled world, I wondered? A simple enough premise, but one that set me thinking hard, hard enough for me to begin writing my own story way back in 2007. That story became Wildwood, and at its heart is the purpose of magic.
If you could practice magic – what would you do with it? Chances are it'd involve gathering some kind of material wealth (go on, be honest) but when it boils right down, the ultimate magic is freedom. But how do you achieve real freedom in a world like ours, where most people do jobs they despise to pay for things they didn't want to buy in the first place (hands up who really wanted a mortgage?) And so, shove aside all the consumer tat and all you really need is food, shelter and friends.
In this excerpt from Raven's Wand – the first Wildwood novel – seasoned witch Ada is explaining to seven year old Rowan just why witches are reviled by the state, because through the use of magic they have no need to buy anything and hence cannot be made slaves of . . . now that really is magic.
Rowan had orders to wait in the orchards for Kolfinnia, but while waiting she was pressed into service by Ada Crabbe, one of the senior gardeners, given a broom and told to sweep. Ada was a gnarled old witch as thorny as brambles. The breeze picked up and Rowan felt a shower of last year's leaves drift down, scratching and tapping at her hat. "Get 'em swept up lass!" Ada barked.
Rowan began sweeping, all the while glancing around, hoping Kolfinnia would show. "Can't I make plants grow instead?" she whined.
"Can yer 'call' plants?" Ada scowled.
"Erm, well," she flustered.
"Aye. Thought not. Come 'ere then." She dragged the girl to a bed of marrows and stood her before them. They were only young plants but many bore small fruits. "Call 'em," she ordered.
"Erm, I," she stammered.
"Then watch," Ada sighed wearily, and swept her aside. "Them's young marrows." She pointed with a gnarled finger. "Posh folks call 'em cor-jets. But it'll be a marrow in a tick, just see." She fished for her wand, while Rowan obediently observed. "Now then." She held up her wand and waved it. "You watchin'?"
Rowan nodded earnestly.
"This is 'ow we 'call'. This is 'ow we stay fed, and most importantly – stay free." She directed the wand at one of the small fruits. Her face grew serious and her lower lip quivered. Suddenly she stabbed her wand forward. "Grow up yer little sod!" she shouted. Her word was her will, and her will changed the world. In response, the slender fruit rapidly swelled in size.
Rowan heard leaves rustle and gravel crunch as it shoved them aside and achieved maturity in moments. "Mrs Crabbe!" she gaped. Grinning, she turned to find the old woman staring intently at her over the top of her battered spectacles but there wasn't a trace of frivolity on her face.
"That's why they hate us lass." She sounded stony but proud now.
"Hate us?"
"Aye, cos a witch who learns to call need never toil in a mill, factory or mine for pennies, and can never be made a slave of. You understand?" Her seasoned hands rested firmly on Rowan's shoulder. "Never!"
Rowan forgot her delight and instead felt something deeper, although she didn't recognise it as the thrill of freedom. "I understand Mrs Crabbe."

Shared Vision – Opportunity Provided By American Energy
state of american energy oil and natural gas production economic growth jobs us energy security crude oil exports
Mark Green
Posted January 5, 2016
There are many ways to gauge the current strength of American energy. The U.S. is producing nearly twice as much oil as it did less than a decade ago, which, combined with natural gas output, has made America the world's leading producer.
Yet, the real-world impact of America's energy revolution offers a more meaningful picture. New tensions are roiling the Middle East, yet global crude markets have remained relatively calm – unimaginable a few years ago. Meanwhile, a tanker carrying U.S. crude oil left port headed for Europe – the first since the lifting of America's 40-year-old ban on domestic exports. There's the reach of our energy revolution.
In his State of American Energy remarks, API President and CEO Jack Gerard focused on the growth of U.S. energy and its benefits – and also the opportunity to sustain them with sound energy policies based on facts and science.
Exports: A New Day for U.S. Energy
crude oil exports lng exports economic growth oil and natural gas production us energy security trade

Posted January 4, 2016
As we write, the United States is once again an exporter of crude oil. Sure, in the past the federal government has allowed limited crude exports. The oil tanker that left the Port of Corpus Christi, Texas, late last week is the bearer of the first freely traded U.S. crude in about four decades – made possible by congressional legislation that President Obama signed to end a 1970s-era ban on exports. It's a new day indeed.
But wait, there's more. Cheniere Energy says it has begun liquefying natural gas at its new export terminal in Louisiana, setting the stage for its first LNG export cargo this month.
Both are big-time energy developments for the United States – opportunities created by a domestic energy revolution largely driven by safely harnessing vast shale reserves with advanced hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling.
Lifting Oil Export Ban a Win for Economy, Security

Lifting the ban is also a security win for the U.S. and our allies. With the administration's push to allow Iran to export its oil to the global market, it's time for U.S. producers to have the same opportunity. Our allies around the world are eager to reduce their reliance on energy from less friendly nations.
Time to Get Policy Right on Oil Exports

That Congress soon may act to end the United States' 40-year-old ban on domestic crude oil exports is signaled in the number of reports and posts on exports-related themes.
The Wall Street Journal has a report that talk of lifting the export ban is narrowing the difference between U.S. and global crude prices. The Council on Foreign Relations' Michael Levi has this post discussing the impact of an exports deal on markets, the recent climate deal and geopolitics. National Journal reports on the legislative horse-trading some think could be part of lifting the exports ban. And there's more.
U.S. Oil Exports and the Global Market

The U.S. shale energy revolution is a game-changer – for the United States and the world's energy balance. The U.S. has become the No. 1 producer of oil and natural gas, resulting from a domestic energy renaissance driven by advanced hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling – fracking. And the positive impacts are all around us.
U.S. crude imports are down, and American energy self-sufficiency is up. An America that's more energy self-sufficient is more secure. Meanwhile, the global crude market is better supplied and more stable – thanks to the availability of crude that would have been imported to the U.S. Domestic pump prices reflect this well-supplied market. At the same time, greater use of natural gas has increased each American household's disposable income by $1,200, and IHS says the benefit will grow to more than $3,500 in 2025. Thanks, fracking.
State Benefits From Lifting Oil Export Ban

The economy-wide arguments in favor of lifting America's 40-year-old ban on crude oil exports are detailed in a number of recent studies. Some of ICF International's numbers: up to 300,000 additional jobs in 2020 when crude exports are allowed; up to a $38 billion increase in U.S. GDP in 2020; $5.8 billion in estimated reduced consumer fuel costs per year, on average, 2015-2035; $15 billion to $70 billion of additional investments in U.S. exploration, development and production, 2015-2020; and a $13.5 billion increase in federal, state and local tax receipts attributable to GDP increases from expanding crude oil exports in 2020.
The economic boost is state and local as well. A study of the state-by-state impacts of lifting the crude oil export ban by ICF and EnSys Energy shows the economies in nearly every state would receive a boost in 2020, with nine state's economies increasing by more than $1 billion. In addition, 18 states would gain more than 5,000 jobs each in 2020, according to the study.
The Oil Exports Conversation

t's good that Congress appears to be talking seriously about ending the United States' four-decades-old ban on crude oil exports. Reports say Democrats and Republicans are discussing a deal that would include lifting the export ban – though it's unclear what a specific deal would look like. "We need to have a conversation" about oil exports, Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin told Politico. "We need to have a fair negotiation."
Of course, we've been having a conversation about the merits of lifting the exports ban for some time. And it starts with this: Every major study on the issue has found that exporting U.S. crude oil would be good for America and Americans. The benefits range from those to consumers, to the economy, to American security to domestic energy production. According to the research, ending the outdated ban would positively impact all of the above.
U.S. Energy Exports and Market Engagement

Interesting analysis on energy independence in the Wall Street Journal by Columbia University's Jason Bordoff, a former energy adviser to President Obama. It's a good thing the United States isn't energy independent, Bordoff writes. That'll get your attention, right?
As Bordoff explains, "energy independence" is a dusty concept from the 1970s and 80s, after policymakers made it a goal to end U.S. reliance on global crude suppliers after the 1973 oil embargo. It didn't happen. To the contrary, U.S. imports steadily climbed in the 1990s and 2000s before the significant increases in domestic production, thanks to abundant American shale energy reserves and advanced hydraulic fracturing.
Now, with U.S. energy output surging, the inclination among some is to keep that energy here at home by maintaining the 1970s-era ban on crude oil exports, believing that it lessens others' ability to disrupt our oil supplies. But Bordoff writes that an "isolationist" approach on energy misunderstands the reality that today's global energy market is highly integrated and that the interconnectedness of the market has helped the U.S. compensate for supply disruptions here at home and overseas. "Free trade in a highly integrated global energy market made us more secure," he writes.
Oil Exports and America's New Era of Energy Opportunity

When the Energy Policy and Conservation Act was signed into law by President Gerald Ford in 1975, Ford said it would put the United States "solidly on the road to energy independence." The legislation included a ban on most exports of domestically produced crude oil. For many, shutting in domestic oil production – effectively self-sanctioning a vital U.S. industrial sector from the global marketplace – seemed like a good idea. At the time.
The country had been roiled by an oil embargo imposed by exporting states in response to U.S. support for Israel during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Americans learned the meaning of oil shock – long lines for gasoline, odd/even day rationing schedules, shortages and rising prices. The Federal Reserve's Michael Corbett writes that the embargo nearly quadrupled the price of a barrel of oil to $11.65 – quaintly low in 2015 dollars, but economically crippling four decades ago.
The 'Us vs. Them' Fallacy on Oil Exports
crude oil exports oil and natural gas production security economic growth jobs
Mark Green
Posted October 29, 2015
Lacking factual, substantial reasons for keeping the United States' antiquated ban on crude oil exports, those who oppose letting U.S. crude reach the global marketplace are left to make a non-factual, unsubstantial case instead.
In a letter to the editor in the New York Times, the Sierra Club's Michael Brune offers up a couple of scary fictions – in time for Halloween – to distract Americans from the stark, "off oil" agenda that Brune and many others advocate: a harsher, less healthy, less hospitable world minus the reliable, affordable fuels that are fundamental to modern living.
API President and CEO Jack Gerard recently called them out for the false choice that's central to their advocacy:
"There is a vocal minority who believe that instead of growing our economy to lift people out of poverty we should reduce our current standard of living and cap our potential. We reject this notion and encourage policy makers to continue down the path we have shown to work, supplying abundant, affordable, and reliable energy to consumers while lowering our impact on the environment."


text: My research focuses on the study of biological diversity (biodiversity) from both ecological and evolutionary perspectives. I am interested in how ecological interactions, e.g. mutualisms, shape complex ecological systems. Interactions, such as those among plants and their seed dispersers and pollinators, are the wireframe of biodiversity, yet we are far from understanding how they evolve and coevolve.

Height: 150 mm, Diameter: 75 mm, lamp: LED. A normal light bulb would set the lamp on fire!
From a plastic bottle to a lamp, made possible by the led lamps today that hardly get warm. In the bottle were ridges that I used to put rings cut out of an inner bicycle tire. In real, the light isn't so spectaculair as on the second picture.
25/3/2019 Because of this lamp and the bad photo of it when the lamp is on, I decided to go further making 'lamps', objects, without a lamp itself in it, so the transition from making lamps to less 'functional' abstract objects, which also saves me relatively a lot of money because I don't have to buy electric sockets and light bulbs anymore. Perhaps I have told this before in one of the posts, but the separation line between making lamps and making rather sculptures, lies between this post and the post after this one: "Plastic Future".
By the way I really don't like the result but it has a certain value because of the transition to the following works as I explained above.

never play golf anymore
by Rev. George Davidson MA of
Hawick in 1897
GOLF IN SCOTLAND – A Report by E.J. Guthrie dated 1885
Golf is an amusement said to be
peculiar to Scotland. In Edinburgh, it has been a favourite pastime from
time immemorial.
By a statute of King James II., it was prohibited that
it might not interfere with the "weapon ..shawings." These were assemblies
of the populace in military array and properly armed, which were organised
by the Sheriff of every county at least twice in the year.
Golf is commonly played on rugged
ground covered with short grass upon the seashore, called Links. This
popular pastime is usually played by parties of one or more on each side.
Each person provides himself with balls and a set of clubs. The ball is
extremely hard, and about the size of a tennis ball. The club with which the
ball is usually struck is slender and elastic, crooked at the end, which is
faced with horn, and headed with lead to render it heavy.
A set of clubs
consists of five in number—a play club, a scraper, a spoon, an iron-headed
club, and a short club called a putter. The second, third, and fourth of
these are adopted for removing the ball from the various inconvenient
positions into which it may come in the course of the game. The putter is
used when a short stroke is intended. The game is played thus:-
Small holes are made in the ground
at the distance of about a quarter of a mile from each other, and in such a
direction as to encompass the whole field. The game is won by the party who
lodges his balls in the different holes in succession with the fewest
strokes. The art of the game consists, first, at the outset, in striking the
ball to a great distance and in a proper direction so that it may rest upon
smooth ground; secondly, and this is of the greatest importance, when near
the hole so to proportionate the force and direction of the stroke, or
putting, as it is called, that the ball may with a few strokes be driven
into the hole.
Golf is a Scottish game of great antiquity. Although
prohibited by James II., it was a popular pastime in the reign of James VI.,
who practised it himself while at Dunfermline, and introduced it afterwards
at Blackheath, in Kent.
During his residence in Scotland, in 1641, Charles I.
played golf on the links at Leith. His royal brother, James VII., was also
devoted to this national sport.
The headquarters of golf is at St.
Andrews; and the rules authorised by its club are adopted by all the other
golfing societies throughout the country.
