Great article in the latest Britain At War magazine highlighting Aux Units and their role:
Thanks, Britain At War magazine !
Thanks to all those who stopped by the CART display at the excellent Haselbury Mill WW2 event near Crewkerne on Father's Day. It was a great day with lots of interest and lots of leads in the South West and also Worcestershire.
From our Devon researcher, Nina: "Though the weather could have been warmer it was a busy show and well attended. We talked to a lot of people about Auxiliary Units, many hearing about them for the first time. We were also given an amazing 10 leads on OB sites in Devon, Dorset, Somerset and Worcestershire. Going to be a busy rest of year hunting for those ! Many thanks gents. Chips were great too !"
Paddy White was playing the part of a 202 Bn Auxilier, leaving his 'calling card' on the occupying forces. Not only that, but he managed to pass on a plenty of CART flyers before he was 'arrested'…

Some photos from last year:
A small group from the local Royal British Legion Poitou-Charentes branch in France are recreating the cycle ride undertaken by Lt Tomos Stephens as part of Op Bulbasket in 1944. Disguised as a Frenchman and riding a pre-war pushbike, he rode from Sazas near Montromillion to the railway marshalling yard at Chatellerault to gather information about fuel tankers stored there. It was a 120km (75 mile) round trip in a single day, an incredible feat. The intelligence was supplied to the RAF who bombed the fuel stored at the railway yard, significantly slowing the 2nd SS Das Reich Panzer Division who lacked enough fuel for their move north towards Normandy. Sadly Lt Stephens was shot after capture, having given himself up so a young maquisard could escape, hoping that his uniform would mean he would become a prisoner, whereas the Maquis were always executed. That young man witnessed Lt Stephens death from his hiding place (and recorded this a few years ago – the story differing from that given by the Bulbasket survivors who were told third hand he had been beaten to death). Lt Stephens was buried in a family vault in nearby Verriéres.

Are all systems go? That's the question that needs to be answered during the commissioning of the new HSC Winnipeg Women's Hospital.
"Throughout the construction process, we examine the quality of construction and installation, and test each building system," explains Bill Algeo, Building Technologist and HSC's Commissioning Authority for the Women's Hospital Redevelopment Project (WHRP). "The integrated commissioning process enables us to confirm that equipment and systems are functioning as intended, and identify any challenges for the contractor to resolve prior to the building handover."
Bill leads a team of skilled tradespeople and supervisors examining their own particular area's specialized systems. At any given time there are 15 to 20 people inspecting, documenting and testing different areas and systems in the building.
Consultants only spot check the work quality and progress, so the HSC commissioning team inspects every single element of the nearly 400,000 square-foot building and checks them against the design. For example: are the installed toilets the water-saving type specified, and are they functioning correctly? Is the drywall painted flawlessly? Are the windows sealed correctly?
When deficiencies are found, the commissioning team documents them for various consultants to the contractor for resolution. Deficiencies can run the gamut from a nick in the wall, to incorrect installation or operation of a piece of equipment or improper function of an entire system.
For example, the team may find that an installed product is different from the original specification. Simple substitutions are often inevitable given the time between design and build, as products may have new versions or may have been discontinued. The typical process for a substitution is for the builder to advise the consultant in advance. The change would be evaluated to determine whether it is an equal product. This process can impact timelines and potentially increase costs. Actual errors can be both time-consuming and costly, especially if rework is necessary. The HSC team continues follow-up inspections to confirm that all deficiencies are corrected.
Physical examination of the construction is only one part of the commissioning process. Every electrical and mechanical system must also be inspected and tested to make sure water flows, elevators run, lights go on, and heating and cooling systems operate as appropriate.
Each system is tested independently, from end to end. Then they are tested to see if they perform correctly as they integrate with the other building systems.
"We'll make sure that when a fire alarm is pulled the alarms ring, lights flash, the right doors unlock, and the elevators shut down," says Bill. "This process is incredibly detailed and important because every building design is different, and the interrelated systems must work in concert, as designed."
"Every test is also a learning experience," he continues. "We have learned from every previous project we've commissioned and have developed very specific equipment tests."
As each system is examined and tweaked to ensure proper functioning, the team moves on to testing interdependent systems.
"It's not enough to know that each system works on its own," says Craig Doerksen, Divisional Director, Facility Management, and a member of the WHRP Steering Committee Executive. "We have to make sure they work together too." To illustrate, he uses the example of showers.
"Each shower must be tested individually. Is the tap installed correctly? Does the water come on when you turn on the tap?" Craig says. "Do both hot and cold water flow as they should? Does hot water reach the right temperature? How long will hot water last?"
"Now, does the exhaust fan work properly? Is the mirror fogging up? Are the tiles getting slippery or is the floor surface still skid-proof?"
The relationships grow in magnitude and scale. "So we know what happens one room at a time. But what if everyone on the floor turns on the shower at the same time? What if 10 of those people shower for 30-minutes each? Is there enough hot water? Is the steam to hot water converter big enough? Is there enough water pressure from the pumps?"
That's just the showers. Every electrical outlet in the building must be tested. Every light switch. Every data jack. And on it goes. Painstaking attention is paid to every detail because at the end of the day, HSC Facility Management is responsible for ensuring the care and safety of everyone and everything inside the building.
The process continues until the contractor and HSC's commissioning team are confident that all systems are working properly. Then they are ready to do a dry-run to test the Life Safety Systems.
"We throw the switches for complete loss of power," says Craig. "We need to know with absolute certainty that the building and ultimately the people inside it will be safe under extraordinary circumstances. We look at the redundancies that are built in to ensure backup systems come on and function as they are supposed to."
From there, the team pulls together all the players for the consultants' Life Safety Test rehearsal. Each consultant responsible for the project, be they mechanical, electrical, structural, and/or architectural, must witness the functionality and provide letters of certification to confirm their respective designs are reflected in the actual building and work for their intended purpose.
Rehearsals continue until the team is satisfied that it will successfully pass the Life Safety Systems test with City of Winnipeg inspectors. Consultants prepare their verification letters to accompany the application for an interim occupancy permit, and the City of Winnipeg inspectors set the time and date for the test.
Once the building successfully passes the test and the building design team warrants that the project is substantially complete, the City grants the occupancy permit. At this point, HSC takes on full responsibility for the building and moves into the next phase of readiness preparation for opening.
HSC will need several months following substantial completion to install, test and prepare staff, equipment, work processes, and clinical systems. Simulations of the move itself will also be run as opening day nears. Once HSC is confident that care can be provided safely, the new HSC Winnipeg Women's Hospital, at all systems go, will welcome its first patients.

Gun Industry Greats — When They Were Young
CAPTION: LB Bar Ranch — South Fork, Cody, Wyoming. Photo circa 1953-1955, by Les Bowman.
Imagine having multiple "founding fathers" of the modern American gun industry all on the same hunting trip. Well it really happened. A few years back, the cover of the Huntington Die Specialties Catalog featured a wonderful vintage photo, taken in the early 1950s. You can see (left to right): Norm Williams, Bill Ruger, Warren Page, Joyce Hornady, and Claude Willey. Of course you've heard of Joyce Hornady, co-founder, with Vernon Speer, of Hornady Manufacturing. Bill Ruger co-founded Sturm, Ruger & Co. with Alexander Sturm in 1949. After Sturm died in 1951, Bill Ruger ran the company for five decades, before passing in 2002. Warren Page was a famous cartridge wildcatter, and Gun Editor of Field & Stream magazine. We couldn't find information on Clyde Wiley or Norm Williams, and we certainly don't know why Norm is wearing a bow-tie and top coat! Perhaps our readers can tell us more about Wiley or Williams.
Story sourced by Edlongrange
Background of Hornady Manufacturing
Joyce Hornady was an ardent shooter who needed a steady supply of accurate bullets. While the bullets available in the late 1940s were usable, Joyce felt that better bullets could be made. During World War II, Joyce had taken a job in a guard training unit at the Grand Island Army Ammunition Plant. Following the war, shooters and hunters used some of the vast surplus of military ammunition for their sport shooting. This surplus ammunition however, did not offer the accuracy or performance needed for target shooting, big game or varmint hunting.
Joyce realized the need for better bullets and he responded to it. In 1949, he and his original partner Vernon Speer built a machine that converted spent .22 rimfire cases into bullet jackets, and then into bullets. These bullets sold well all over the country. Using a surplus bullet assembly press, he also began to produce a .30-caliber bullet that became a mainstay of Hornady's bullet line. In 1958, the company moved to a larger 8,000-square-foot plant with a 200-yard underground testing facility. Before that underground range was completed, Joyce Hornady would drive to the Grand Island Rifle Range, winter and summer, rain or shine, to test each individual lot of bullets.

Programme structure
The Bachelor programme corresponds to 180 ECTS points, equivalent to three years of full-time study at 1,620 hours per year. A year of full-time study includes all work connected with the studies, including classes, independent study, examinations and all other study-related activities.
The programme consists of a range of subjects which in combination will prepare you for a career in the music industry, including general social science and humanities disciplines such as economics, law and communication, together with professionally-oriented studies.
The teaching varies between dialogue-based lectures, group work, projects and internships with guidance, written assignments, seminars and company visits. The teaching is mainly provided within a particular year group; however, subjects and projects may also be provided in classes made up of students drawn from various years and/or study programmes.
The study programme concludes with a Bachelor project, in which you analyse a self-chosen issue of relevance to the music industry.
The programme has built up an international network of companies in the music industry, ranging from small, one-man businesses to major multinational corporations. As a student, you are given access to this network, which will provide you with many benefits both during your studies and in relation to your future career choices. The network also helps to ensure that the programme is always up to date in relation to trends in the industry. In the ordinary teaching, guest lecturers from the music industry are often involved.
The table below shows how the subjects and ECTS points are distributed in the programme.
|The Music Industry
|Project Management
|Music Analysis
|Music Sociology
|Strategy & Organisation
|Communication & Marketing
|Innovation & Entrepreneurship
You can read more about the subjects and structure of the programme in the programme curriculum, where you will also find detailed descriptions of the individual courses – click on the link to the right.
The programme is a full-time programme of study, and attendance at tuition is compulsory. The language of instruction is usually Danish, but teachers may provide teaching in English to individuals or small groups as necessary. Teaching given by guest teachers, or in connection with study tours, is however typically provided in English.
On completing the programme, Music Managers will have acquired insight into the fields of the music industry and its activities, production conditions and methods, and will have gained practical work experience in selected areas of the music business or related industries. Graduates of the programme will possess knowledge of the fundamental financial, legal and managerial conditions of the business, as well as its environmental and framework conditions. In addition, graduates of the Music Management programme will possess insight into the history of music, genres and styles, the interaction between music, culture and society, and the artistic expression, creative processes, theoretical concepts and terminologies of music. The bachelor programme allows you to continue your studies at a Masters level on another educational institution. RMC does not offer the Music Management programme on a Masters level.
Career opportunities
The Music Management programme qualifies graduates for a variety of jobs within the music industry, for example with music companies, booking agencies, management companies, festivals, venues, media and internet companies, as well as similar jobs in related areas of the experience and culture industries. The employment opportunities depend on both market fluctuations in the business and on the priorities of cultural policy, and may therefore vary.
Sidsel Nørgaard-Larsen, graduated 2013
Where do you work today?
I work as a Music Project Manager at WiMP Music, focusing on VICE x WiMP Live Sessions. Alongside this I am taking a Master's programme in Management of Creative Business Processes at Copenhagen Business School.
Why did you choose to study Music Management?
Music Management is a dream programme for music lovers who want to transform their passion into a professional career. After working full-time for the record label Music for Dreams, I had a natural desire to supplement my profile with broad industry knowledge and an understanding of how to run a successful business in the creative industries.
How do you see the future of the music industry?
I find there is a heightened curiosity in new music, and in visionary and dedicated industry players. And most importantly, there is now a new wave of Danish artists who can – and should – be successful on the international level.
Emil Spangenberg, graduated 2007
Where do you work today?
I currently work as Communications Manager at Wonderful Copenhagen, the capital's development company for tourism, events and international marketing.
What does a typical working day look like for you?
A typical day starts with an early scan of the news, both newspaper-based and on-line. When I get to the office, I typically start the day with team meetings or briefings with my management group on current issues and projects. One half of my job is very operational in relation to the Danish and international press, while the other half is more strategic, relating to project development, concept development and contact with a wide range of Copenhagen's stakeholders and entrepreneurs. And then of course there is a lot of coffee and music in the office during the day.
What is the most important thing you gained from your study programme?
Firstly, my time at RMC was an intense period of my life, in the company of some of the most fun people I have ever met. But I think I acquired considerable professionalism, both in relation to the socio-economic subjects and in relation to the mechanisms (and challenges) that drive many small creative businesses.
Lea Apollo, graduated 2013
Where do you work today?
I work at We Do Management, which is a management agency I set up with some fellow students from the Music Management programme in the autumn of 2011. My actual title is a bit indeterminate, but 'Manager' probably comes closest. I am also co-owner and partner at We Do Management, and label manager at Cheff Records.
Why did you choose to study Music Management?
I applied for Music Management when, at my former job at Sony Music, I began to feel that I was lacking a lot of the tools I needed to work in the industry. As well as the human and social skills that my job demands, it is also important to be able to handle everything from law and economics to marketing, and these were some of the subjects included in the programme – and directly related to the music industry, too.
What does a typical working week look like for you?
It's extremely varied. In general, you could say that I work very closely with the artists and their business partners, so it is in this cooperation that my tasks are defined. But if you were to put some labels on it, they might include contract negotiation, finances, financial management, planning careers with business partners, business-to-business development, coordinating music videos, and an incredible number of meetings.
Christian Møller, graduated 2006
Where do you work today?
I work at Universal Music Denmark, which is the Danish branch of the world's largest record company, Universal Music Group. My job title is A&R Manager, which means I am responsible for finding and developing new artists for the Danish market.
What is the most important thing you gained from your study programme?
I discovered where my strengths lay, and I became sure that this really was the branch of the music industry I wanted to work in. I also found the course in Industry Knowledge very relevant, because it both gave me insight into the music industry and provided me with some inspiration from skilled professionals. Last but not least, the programme also helped to equip me with an invaluable network in the music business, through which I received the internship that later resulted in my dream job as A&R Manager.
How do you see the future of the music industry?
From my point of view, it is absolutely the digital market that is all-dominating right now, and will probably continue to be so in future. I think that talent development is more important than ever, as the market is being flooded with mediocre DIY releases. There is a need for artists with big hits who can force their way through and open up a pathway through all the noise.
Below, please find a list of teaching staff on the programme in the fall semester 2019, permanent academic staff as well as contract teachers.
RMC prioritizes diversity in terms of genre and fields of expertise when the entire group of teachers is composed.
As a student, you are offered a wide spectrum of professional impulses from permanent teaching staff as well as from contract and external teachers.
Within the core subjects of the programme, the teaching performed by the permanent staff will normally not exceed more than two thirds of the total number of teaching hours.
In relation to special courses, projects and similar activities, you will have the opportunity to meet a large number of external teachers.

Remember my utter disappointment to not be able to find Brach's chocolate stars??!!! PROBLEM SOLVED!!
In the Ingles Grocery store is a section that has bulk food; anything from fresh peanut butter to all flavors of almonds, cashews and various candy. They even have the kind of candy my Grandma and Grandpa First always had on hand…little white chewy squares with little bits of jelly type candy inside of that; individually wrapped. Do you remember those?
And around the corner from those types of candy was chocolate covered peanuts, other assorted types of chocolate candy AND WHAT TO MY WANDERING EYES SHOULD APPEAR??!!! BRACH'S CHOCOLATE STARS!!!! At $4.03 a pound!! I don't need a pound! But I could take ½ pound with no qualms!
Considering we had just treated ourselves to a movie and had purchased a large bag of M&M chocolate covered peanuts at Wal-Mart before we went to the show (my purse makes a good saddle bag, but with that candy in there it made me lean to the left), I opted to NOT purchase any of the stars…not this trip anyway! They'll be there another day (I HOPE!!).
I had an eye exam at the Wal-Mart vision center a couple of days ago. I was very surprised by the thoroughness of the exam. It was more exam than I've ever had at the optometrist in Newberry…and less expensive.
I told the Dr I was having a very hard time taking photographs and felt my vision has changed. After the exam he told me the glasses I've been wearing were too strong in one eye and weak in the other. Then he asked me if I was left handed or right handed. I told him I was left handed at most things and left eye dominant. He felt that explained the issue with my existing glasses.
My glasses should be in on Friday. Dan has HIS exam that same day. The VA exam and glasses didn't really do it for him. He still has problems, so we'll see what this Dr says.
We went to see Sanctum in 3-D. That was a disappointment. The movie didn't need to be shot in 3-D and it would have been just fine. So if you can find it in 2-D, don't spend the extra for the 3-D. And if you do go see it, try to go to the cheap matinee of it because even that, WE FEEL was not money well spent for entertainment. There were moments that I DID find myself tensing up (like when the gal ran out of air in her tank and was trying to buddy breathe with another diver. I really wonder if that whole cave system looks like it does in the movie. It is hard to believe that there are places like that yet unexplored.
There have been plenty of Valentine's Day commercials on, haven't there? Dan said today "Well, I'll be in the dog house. I didn't get you anything for Valentine's Day!" I told him that he had, he just didn't know about it yet. Have you seen those chocolate diamonds?? I am NOT a jewelry freak by any means but I LOVE those rings!!! Good old Dan said "We'll go see what we can find!" He was really ready to go and buy me a ring…but I THINK deep down he knew that I would say "NO-WAY!" If he can find one in a cubic zirconia….that might be OK!
I feel a search coming on!!!
So what are YOUR plans for the big day (or night???)
