K-State's free Teaching, Learning, and Technology Showcase is 10 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 13, in the K-State Student Union Ballroom. All faculty, staff, and administrators are welcome to attend. Pre-register at ksushowcase.wordpress.com/registration.
This is a Q&A with Debra Sellers, associate professor and extension specialist, School of Family Studies and Human Services.
What is "traumatic brain injury"?
The Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) defines TBI as "an alteration in brain function, or other evidence of brain pathology, caused by an external force." A way to think about this is in terms of something away from the body or not part of the body that hurts the brain. There are two key types: one is a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, and the second type is a penetrating injury.
How did you get involved in your work with TBI survivors? How did this project get its start at Kansas State University?
Jane Mertz Garcia, professor in Communication Sciences and Disorders, has been working with people with traumatic brain injury for more than 20 years, and I have many years of experience in working with older adults and people with disabilities. Older adults are affected by TBI more than other groups, along with young children and adolescents, although anyone of any age may experience a TBI. Additionally, Kansas is significantly affected by TBI, and has the highest fatalities rate of 33 reporting states. Professor Garcia saw an opportunity to form a partnership between academic and extension faculty to use the strengths of the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service to help support adult survivors and their families in their local communities in Kansas.
What is "TBIoptions: Promoting Knowledge"?
TBIoptions: Promoting Knowledge is a program designed to raise awareness and knowledge of traumatic brain injury, and to encourage individuals and communities to actively support survivors and families. The program is designed in two learning formats, with dissemination by K-State Research and Extension agents in local communities and also through an automated, Internet-based version.
The program promotes knowledge by explaining the basics of TBI, such as the definition, causes, and how it affects individuals. For example, a TBI may cause changes in thinking (cognitive processes) that make it difficult to return to work or live independently. An important objective of the program is for participants to learn ways to support people with traumatic brain injury in their communities.
You used video vignettes for this project. Would you describe how you created these?
The vignettes were critical in augmenting the learning of participants by providing first-hand accounts from people who experienced TBI. Professor Garcia and I developed an interview questionnaire related to the programmatic objectives. Brent Anders, electronic media coordinator from the Office of Mediated Education, and I traveled to meet, interview, and videotape these individuals in all regions of the state. Shalin Hai-Jew, instructional designer from the Information Technology Assistance Center (iTAC), transcribed the many hours of videotape that resulted from these interviews. Professor Garcia and several graduate research assistants combed through the transcripts to identify sections that were illustrative of the main educational objectives.
For example, some vignettes focus on the events surrounding the injury while others emphasize the consequences of TBI to relationships and the ability to return to work. These separate sections were integrated to create five vignettes per survivor. The individual sections within each vignette, complete with exact time stamps, were shared with Anders and his staff, who created the videos. Extensive research was conducted regarding "best practices" for video captioning. The original transcripts were used as a basis for developing captions for each video clip, with accuracy checked and re-checked between Professor Garcia and me. These captions were shared with Anders' staff, who superimposed the captions on each clip, along with the Kansas State University watermark. Videos are created in two formats in order to meet the needs of the in-person and Internet-based versions of the program.
What are some of the strategies you used in incorporating technology to reach your target audiences for the TBI trainings?
One of the primary goals of this program is to reach traditional Cooperative Extension and non-traditional audiences. This goal was accomplished through the development of an in-person program that can be delivered in local communities by K-State Research and Extension agents. This program was then translated into an Internet-based version.
One unique aspect of both versions of the educational program resides in the provision of interactive choice. Participants in both versions are introduced to three survivors and are given the choice of which survivor story to follow throughout the rest of the program. The vignettes associated with that choice are then presented to the participants. Reflective questions and answers specific to each survivor are also used as interactive, educational supports for the vignettes.
What will your presentation "Advancing Public Knowledge of Traumatic Brain Injury: Creating Change in Kansas" address?
This presentation will focus on four main points: 1) the creation of video vignettes to augment specific educational objectives; 2) results of the research study that compared the in-person and Internet-based versions of the program; 3) the opportunities for expansion of educational objectives; and 4) future directions for the project.

The Sound of Change: Sennheiser and DJ Luciano release a limited edition MOMENTUM On-Ear bundle for charity
- Details
- Category: Apps/Devices/Electronics
- Published on Friday, 19 December 2014 05:26
- Written by Press Release
Old Lyme, Conn., December 15, 2014 – Audio specialist Sennheiser is launching a special limited-edition MOMENTUM On-Ear bundle in support of DJ Luciano's One Coin For Life charity, which is featured in a Sennheiser film as part of the 'What's Your MOMENTUM?' project. In addition to a pair of MOMENTUM On-Ear headphones in red, the bundle includes ten tracks by Luciano, with a contribution from every pair sold going to the DJ's charitable foundation.
"We are incredibly proud to support One Coin For Life and participate in Luciano's inspirational charity, which raises money to protect indigenous cultures around the world through the global dance music movement," said Uwe Cremering, Head of Global Marketing Communications at Sennheiser. "Luciano's drive and initiative is the subject of one of the films in Sennheiser's 'What's Your MOMENTUM?' project, which celebrates stories where people's passion for music and life has helped them achieve great things, and go beyond the conventional. This special charity takes a global love for music and uses it to protect unique threatened cultures at the grassroots. It is a expression of authenticity and integrity, and embodies the spirit of MOMENTUM."
500 of the special MOMENTUM bundles have been made available, with €15 from each sale being donated to One Coin For Life. All funds raised will go towards the foundation's latest project Vipingo Village in Kenya. This small, family-run charity helps some of the many AIDS affected orphan children in the poverty stricken area near Mombasa.
The MOMENTUM On-Ear Red included in the One Coin For Life bundle offers incredible sound with a simple, pure design and high-quality materials such as stainless steel and Alcantara®. The MOMENTUM On-Ear brings the signature look and sound of Sennheiser's classic MOMENTUM headphones – a fusion of design and the finest materials with high-end audio performance – to a more compact on-ear design. The Sennheiser MOMENTUM range represents Sennheiser's pursuit of the perfect sound, combined within beautiful design, a product born of passion and – like Luciano – a refusal to compromise. The MOMENTUM bundles will exclusively be available in the Sennheiser Webshop from now on.
Swiss-Chilean Luciano is a DJ and producer, owner of the Cadenza label and a leading light in the global Techno and House scenes, famed for his genre-blending sets and Ibiza residencies. Luciano's drive to found One Coin For Life was inspired by the positivity and sense of community of the dancefloor and a desire to capture this force to effect real change to help others. The foundation, which he runs with his wife Francisca and sister Amélie, focuses on supporting small independently-run charities, where donations can make a real difference. Describing his work with the charity, DJ Luciano explains: "Over the years I have played to thousands – probably millions – of people, but it is this foundation that I'm most proud of and a real MOMENTUM in my life. It is great to have Sennheiser's support through these special editions, and its fitting too to raise funds through the connection to music that you have with a great set of headphones. One Coin For Life is about taking the emotion we feel when we experience music and making it into a force for good and can help to change in the world."
The Sennheiser Group based in Wedemark near Hanover, Germany, was founded in 1945 and has gone on to become a leading manufacturer of microphones, headphones and wireless transmission systems. Sales in 2013 totaled 590.4 million euros. Sennheiser employs more than 2,500 staff worldwide and operates plants in Germany, Ireland and the USA. The company has a worldwide network of subsidiaries in France, Great Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Liechtenstein, Germany, Denmark (Nordic), Russia, Hongkong, India, Singapore, Japan, China, Australia and New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, and the USA. It also has long-established trading partners in other countries. Georg Neumann GmbH, Berlin, a maker of studio microphones and monitor speakers, and Sennheiser Communications A/S, a joint venture making headsets for PCs, offices and call centers, are also part of the Sennheiser Group.

The mother of Microsoft partner communities is shaking things up by adding a no-cost tier, shifting its focus to online meetings and setting lofty diversity goals.
WEB EXCLUSIVE: Improvements like a new SharePoint Framework and more robust mobile apps have Microsoft partners bullish about the platform's direction.
Just about everybody seems to think that the only way to create your own IP is to become a developer. As one Microsoft partner shows, that's not the case.
Microsoft is among over two dozen companies that have joined Dell's newly launched effort to create an Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem.
Microsoft on Tuesday announced a major, cloud-oriented streamlining of the Microsoft Partner Network (MPN) competencies that it uses to identify and validate the expertise of its partners.
You may have noticed Microsoft (and other cloud providers) usurping traditional partner services like migration. Get used to it.
The shift to cloud services presents huge challenges to managed services providers (MSPs). Industry experts say the successful MSP of the near future looks very different from the successful MSP of the recent past.
The deadline for this year's award for partners that have shown exceptional growth is May 2.
For cloud-bound partners, navigating Microsoft's various resources can be a time-consuming task. Here are some handy maps to help you figure out where to go for what you need.
More than being just a new offering, the CSP program requires Microsoft partners to design the business model that will take them into the future.
According to IDC, partners that bet their businesses on Microsoft's cloud are making out like bandits. Scott digs into some of the specifics.
As Microsoft becomes more and more desperate to drive consumption, expect the range of free services offerings from FastTrack to keep ballooning.
Howard thinks it's time for partners to treat Microsoft with the same benign neglect it shows them.
The old three-legged-stool model of partner-delivered IT services -- consulting, advisory services and support -- needs to adapt to the changing technology environment.
Microsoft Partner of the Year winner Nintex kills two birds with one very effective stone by combining IP creation with partner outreach.

Como vivir bien cuando las cosas van mal
"How to Live Right When Everything Goes Wrong" admits that things do not alwaysgo as we want in life. However, there's is no excuse to live bitter, grieving and notseeing the light at the end of the tunnel. The book clearly and simply, shows how todeal with economic earthquakes in our lives and how to bounce-back once we hitbottom. It shows not only how to manage money properly, but also how to makemoney in difficult times.

While listening to a recent Richard Fisher interview I was reminded of the main problem of this current sloooow economic recovery. The US Economy is certainly growing, bu it has not grown at its fullest potential and continues to plod along at a slow pace.
Fisher's comments were from a worried stance. Being a Hawk (non advocate for additional help from the FOMC) his fear is once the economy gets going, it may take off too fast. Maybe he is correct, but for now, we could only be so lucky.
M2: The Velocity of Money
This from FRED (St. Louis Federal Reserve Research):
The velocity of money is the frequency at which one unit of currency is used to purchase domestically- produced goods and services within a given time period. In other words, it is the number of times one dollar is spent to buy goods and services per unit of time. If the velocity of money is increasing, then more transactions are occurring between individuals in an economy.
In non-fancy terms, M2 is money in motion. The FOMC has been pushing money into the banking system for some time. Let's see if it is helping speed up M2?
To be fair, in order for M2 to accelerate, there must be demand for loans, and other money movement by the businesses and citizens of the US. So far, as you can tell, Fisher's worries are unwarranted. A spike or even blip upward would be nice!
Have a Great Day!

Erik E. via Google
We had an unusual issue in our 2y old home - an iron-forming bacteria in the water - luckily it posed no health risk, but really stained the tubs, grout, etc. Another group tried to fix the issue, and after 2y of various missteps finally said they were not able (long story). We spoke to Long's and in about a week the problem was solved (!) - and they had a long-term plan for maintenance and follow up. They were responsive, professional and had a clear understanding of this issue and how to fix it, and keep it fixed. Jim came out initially to evaluate the issue and system in place, spoke with us at length, and within a few days formulated a solution.

PUBG Corps Drops Its Lawsuit Against Epic Games and Fortnite
After pursuing legal action against Epic Games this year, PUBG Corps has dropped its case against Epic Games for copyright infringement with Fortnite.
As the two top-reigning competitors in the currently hot market of Battle Royale games, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds developer PUBG Corps brought things to a heat against Fortnite developer Epic Games by putting forth a lawsuit against the company for copyright infringement earlier this year, though the conclusion of that case seems to have fizzled out.
According to a report from Bloomberg, PUBG Corps has officially withdrawn its legal case against Epic Games, with an official letter from the studio's legal representatives being addressed to Epic Game's attorneys. No specific reason has been provided, at this time, of why PUBG Corps withdrew its pursuit of further legal action against Epic, and no details of whether or not a settlement was made between the two companies was provided either. No comment was provided by Epic Games either, according to Bloomberg.
The case itself originated earlier this year when PUBG Corps expressed its desire to pursue legal action against Epic Games, due to the numerous similarities that Fortnite and its "Battle Royale" mode shared with PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which released on Steam Early Access early last year. However, numerous complications have been brought up in the heated legal disputes between the two companies, especially in the case that PUBG is built using Epic's Unreal Engine.

The arrival of Spring was celebrated with gusto at Historics'classic car auctionat Brooklands Museum on Saturday 8th March, a warm sunny day providing a welcoming backdrop to the largest attendance to date, and an immensely buoyant £1.77m+ result - Historics' biggest Spring sale.Furthermore, of the 110 consigned motor cars, a record 79% found delighted new owners.
Blue skies above perhaps added momentum to the desire for soft-tops within the auction hall,with one of Historics' signature cars at this auction - anelegant and serene 1949 Talbot Lago 26 Record Cabriolet - cruisingmajestically to £120,960.
British sportscars were also much in favour. A big cat pride offive Jaguar E-Types sold very strongly, top price going to a pristine 1965 lefthand drive Series I at £91,840, with a very similar righthand driveequivalent of the same year in hot pursuit at £87,360. And an example of the E-Type's predecessor was not left from the party, a 1954 XK120 Drophead Coupé changing hands for a robust £67,200.
Further British sports car honour was shared elsewhere, a pristine 1964 MG B roadster cresting its top estimate to return £13,440, a 1954 Triumph TR2 performing similarly at £33,600, whilst in the fixed head coupé stakes, a 1966 Alvis TF21 soared 50% above estimate to close on the hammer at £30,240.
Staying with the soft-top success, the meticulous restoration of a lefthand drive 1962 Austin Healey 3000 Mk. II rewarded its vendor with a sale at a shade under £60,000, bidders perhaps spurred on by the change of hands a little earlier of a 1953 Healey 100/4 BN1, ripe for rebuilding, at £28,672.
A beautifully-authentic1968 Volvo Amazon attracted very significant interest, closing above estimate at £9,500, whilst 'amazonian' was an equally fitting description for a 1963 Cadillac Coupé. In fresh, striking lime green paintwork with cream interior, the 18' 6" leviathan came to auction at No Reserve. Having been featured on the 'Wheeler Dealer' restoration television programme, it again provided an entertainment highlight as spirited bidding in the hall, on-line and by telephone lifted the sale price from a realistic £600 opener to a heady £13,664.
With American classics frequently proving popular at Historics, the attention received by a more sedatebut very rare jet black righthand drive 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback was rewarded by a lofty sale price of £31,360, some 90% higher than top estimate.
At the other extreme in size terms,a wholly-original 1963 Austin Mini that has covered just 24,500 since new, made its way briskly to an above-estimate £10,304.
Historics' classic Mercedes-Benz offering has frequently provided a sale highlight and this sale was no exception. Of the 15 cars assembled spanning 37 years from 1967, 13 found new owners, top billing justifiably going to a faultless, sympathetically- restored 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SLPagoda, the sun still shining on its pristine black interior as it changed hands above estimate for £73,360.
Post-sale, Historics' Auction Director, Edward Bridger-Stille, commented: "After a very challenging start to the year in weather terms, I must complement our team for once again consigning an exceptionally fine and varied consignment list and one which was clearly on the button in terms of fulfilling demand. Spurred by fine weather, it has resulted in both a record attendance and percentage sale.
"Interestingly", he continued, "over 30% of our 110 consignments were soft-tops and I'm delighted that virtually all found new UK owners - Thankfully, our home-grown love affair for open-air motoring has not been dampened by recent conditions."
For full auction results, see Historics at Brooklands' website, www.historics.co.uk.
Consignments are now invited for the next major Historics' auction on Saturday, June 7th at Brooklands. The sale of 100+ classic motor carsand automobilia will also incorporateHistorics' majorannual classic motorcycle auction, with a similar volume of two-wheel consignments.

• #8326
FFS.. trying to get a test ride on a Fairlight is like pulling teeth, Swift cycles are pretty unhelpful too...
• #8327
How much did you pay for it?
• #8328
Including postage, thru axle and Parcelforce Handling Fee and VAT it was £130.
• #8329
What's the build / finish quality like on the Planet X London Road / SL's? Girlfriend has a Mango Point Alr, the build was good, but the frame is massively out of line and built on a budget. Discs rub no matter how much you set them up, back wheel pops out of the dropouts unless the QR is done up stupid tight. I think other people have had the same problems with the frameset.
Want to replace it with something in the £200 region and want it to set up perfectly first time. Used for commuting, touring mainly.
• #8330
Have you trued the rotors, and are you using shimano QR's?
• #8331
Haven't trued the rotors - will give it a go.
Had Halo Allen key skewers on there for a while - they worked, but didn't feel right. Without them the wheel sits very wonky. Have to really force the wheel in then cinch it up.
Shame as the bike got pretty good reviews before they went bust.
• #8332
• #8334
Try a pair of shimano QR's, if it works it's a cheap fix, and I not you have a proper pair of QR's for your next build :)
• #8335
If the frame is out of line from the box then you should be able to warranty it. Also if the brake mounts have't been faced properly, warranty it.
• #8336
- Yes agree.
- If the mounts haven't been faced, thats not warranty, thats a set up issue.
Either way, push back on PX and get it sorted.
- Yes agree.
• #8337
What size? Welcome to try my 58T.
• #8338
Thanks for the offer but I'm looking at a 54 or maybe 56 (but thinking 54).
REALLY wish they hadn't changed the bloody dropouts.
• #8339
It's a warranty in as much as a direct to consumer brand need to sell a bike that can be set up by the consumer. Normally a dealer could take care of a brake mount, but this isn't the case with PX.
• #8340
What drop out change?
• #8341
They are thru axle now, I have Mavic QR that I dont want to have to replace...
• #8342
so you are building a bike around a rear wheel?
• #8343
Secan was always thru axle. Talk of a new Faran but nothing yet. Old Faran was QR.
Thru-axle on Secan does make a difference. Fuckit its only money!
• #8344
Dont fuck with me. I've only just bought these damn things.
• #8345
Yeah looking at a Strael, the V1 was QR... Faran's are all sold out.
Yeah could just blow even more money but ideally would not.
• #8346
No end cap replacement possible? 135 QR to 142 12mm is not asking too much.
• #8347
Warranty is for manufacturing defects, not set up issues..
• #8348
I've got a PX London Road, size small, in silver that I've been meaning to strip & sell for a while, it's by no means pristine but I've ridden it all over the country and it's never let me down. Phenomenal for the money really. PM me if you're interested.
• #8349
I've got no idea. These new fangled bikes are a mystery to me.
• #8350
I have a set of mavic ksyriums with end caps that do for QR, 12mm and 15mm through axles. which ones are yours?

The flexible and wearable electronics system is an emerging technology for next-generation electronics. This type of electronics system can geometrically accommodate large mechanical deformations without imparting significant strains and stress in the materials from which it is constructed. Potential applications of this technology include flexible sensors, communicative packaging, transmitters and new photovoltaic and microfluidic devices, as well as areas of medicine and athletics for which flexible and conformable electronics are required.
Computational Mechanics studies reveal many of the key underlying aspects of these systems and can establish important design criteria concerning device failure. For example, results are used to indicate the maximum strain or stress in a system, or the critical strain for buckling, etc. Furthermore, studies are made to optimize mechanics and materials for circuits that exhibit maximum stretchability.
In this talk, Dr. Liu shared how in the current study, numerical simulations are used for investigations of materials and system designs for flexible electronics devices, which have excellent mechanical flexibility and make them attractive as wearable devices. The new designs are possible to build high performance circuits that are not only bendable but are also, in some cases, reversibly stretchable, with elastic responses to compressive and tensile strains of near to 100% or more. In addition, the application of computational mechanics is a path to build high performance silicon complementary metal oxide semiconductors central to consumer electronics.
Dr. Liu also shed light on the mechanical designs that remove any significant dependence of these properties on strains associated with bending, folding, draping and other modes of deformation. The talked ended with open floor discussion with the conclusion that computational studies are central to discovering the essential features of the materials and mechanics aspects that underlie the behaviour of flexible electronic systems.

Tyra's Story
TyraTyra's dad died when she was just 5, leaving Tyra, her mother, and three siblings alone. Today, as she contemplates her Easter baptism, Tyra says she has every reason to believe her new life will be everything she ever dreamed of.
Easter is special for Tyra. She is celebrating three years of sobriety AND rededicated her life to Jesus through baptism. "This is my first Easter not trying to live on my own — the first where I really feel God's presence," she says. "When you try to live like Jesus, you see all the bad just slip away." There was lots of bad in Tyra's life. And most of it began at home where her parents used drugs.
Her dad died when she was just 5, leaving Tyra, her mother, and three siblings alone. Tyra's mom married a man who got her mom into drugs. But her parents hid it so well, it wasn't until Tyra was 12 that she realized what caused the instability in their home.
By age 14, Tyra was doing drugs herself. At 15, she was thrown out of the house and sent to a juvenile detention facility.
Looking back, Tyra can see the mistakes that led to her ongoing addiction and homelessness. A big part of it was walking away from her involvement in her church youth group. Tyra had been active in the group. But when word spread to her friends at church that Tyra had been thrown out by her mom, she was too embarrassed to go back. She replaced those friends with new ones. "They were smoking weed and drinking. It just escalated from there."
Tyra says she can't believe how dramatic her downfall was from this point. Soon, she was a homeless teen — sleeping in cars, tents and even on the Interurban Trail across from her high school — stealing food from grocery stores. "I was just . . . lost," Tyra admits. "I remember trying not to think about how I felt about myself."
Having broken off all contact with her family, Tyra had no one to turn to. "It was hard that I didn't talk to my family when I was out there. I just didn't feel like I could — and I didn't really want to." Worse, because of all her personal problems, Tyra lost custody of her nine-month-old daughter. But the lowest point for Tyra — when she finally realized she needed help — came late one night as she and her boyfriend slept in a car. She was pregnant, freezing cold, and didn't even have a bathroom to use. That's when Tyra asked to come to the Mission.
After committing herself to recovery, regaining her lost faith, and working hard, Tyra was able to regain custody of her daughter. A short time later, she gave birth to her second child.
Tyra believes that her wonderful new life is a blessing from God. "Even though I slipped away and lost focus, I could really feel His presence. He was taking me where He wanted me to be."
"Before I came here, I never even thought about having hope. I just accepted my lot in life. But when I got into the Mission, I started having hope that there was something better for me out there."
Today, as she contemplates her Easter baptism, Tyra says she has every reason to believe her new life will be everything she ever dreamed of.
"I haven't finished anything in a long time. But now, I get to say I'm a Mission graduate."
Every $45.44 enables someone to receive a day of extensive, 360-degree support and recovery services that changed Tyra's life.
That includes meals, shelter, hygiene, clothing, staff support, and classes — everything the Mission provides for lasting transformation.

More than 5,000 online grooming offences have been recorded by police in England and Wales in just 18 months, data obtained by the NSPCC has revealed.
The recorded use of Instagram has risen dramatically over the 18 month period. From April 2017 to September 2017, where the communication method was recorded, Instagram was used by groomers in 126 instances, whereas between April 2018 and September 2018 it was recorded 428 times – more than a 200% increase1.
565 grooming offences were recorded by police forces in the North West between April 2017 and April 2018.
The data obtained from 39 of the 43 forces in England and Wales, under Freedom of Information laws, also shows that in the latest six month period, girls aged 12 to 15 were most likely to be targeted by groomers and victims included children as young as five years old.
Ahead of the imminent publication of the Government's Online Harms White Paper, the NSPCC is urging ministers to tame the Wild West Web by bringing in statutory regulation to enforce a legal duty of care to children on social networks, backed by hefty fines if they fail.
Peter Wanless, NSPCC chief executive, said: "These figures are overwhelming evidence that keeping children safe cannot be left to social networks.
"We cannot wait for the next tragedy before tech companies are made to act. It is hugely concerning to see the sharp spike in grooming offences on Instagram, and it is vital that the platform designs basic protection more carefully into the service it offers young people.
"After 10 years of failed self-regulation by social networks, it is crucial that the Government's imminent Online Harms White Paper includes new laws that tackle online grooming once and for all."
Internet companies are being pushed to do more to combat this but parents – even those with limited knowledge of social media – can also take steps to make them feel more comfortable about how their children use the internet.
Here is a look at a number of ways parents can help keep their children safe online.
Most internet-connected devices offer parental control systems but users can also choose to install their own.
Both iOS and Google offer features that enable parents to not only filter content but also set time limits on how long children can use certain apps.
For iOS devices, such as an iPhone or iPad, you can make use of the Screen Time feature to block certain apps, content types or functions.
On iOS 12, this can be done by going to settings and selecting Screen Time.
For Android, you can install the Family Link app from the Google Play Store.
Games consoles also support parental controls that can be set up manually – the UK Safer Internet Centre offers downloadable guides for different consoles on its website.
Many internet service providers offer content filters, which can be used to block certain websites being accessed from specific devices via a home Wi-Fi network.
In some cases, this can also be used to set time limits.
Visit your service provider's website for more details but it should be noted these features will only work while a device is connected to a home broadband network so additional steps will need to be taken to secure devices when being used outside the home.
Some concerns around social media can be better approached if parents know how the various platforms operate.
Net Aware, a website run in partnership between the NSPCC and O2, offers a range of useful information about each social network, including guidance on minimum age requirements and the types of content usually shared on that platform.
Many charities, including the NSPCC, stress that talking to children "openly and regularly" is the best way to keep them safe online.
Its website features a number of tips on how to start a conversation with children about using social media and the wider internet, including having parents visit sites with their children to learn about them together and discussing how to stay safe online and acting responsibly.
Net Aware also offers a free helpline for any further questions or advice, which is on 0808 800 5002.

Nanny Alice is no Mary Poppins and she loses babies all the time. Subsequently, not a single one of her glowing references are genuine. She once lost Princess Birgitta of Denmark in Tesco's car park, and it took her three days to find Crown Prince Masako of Japan after she left his baby seat in the back of a minicab in Tottenham Court Road.
Alice has carelessly mislaid the heirs of barons, dukes, tsars and on one occasion the twin sons of a sultan. Most of the infants have turned up safe and sound but it has sometimes been necessary to do a midnight flit before mother checks the nursery in the morning.
Many male aristocrats have an unhealthy attraction towards nursery nurses and this is often because their first sexual experiences was with their own nanny. Nanny Alice is perfectly aware of this well trodden pattern of behaviour. She's slept with almost all the fathers of her young charges, and with one or two of their mothers as well.
There are three things in the world that Nanny Alice hates. Lady Labia Antoinette, the movie "The Sound of Music", and babies.

How wonderful to have some peace after the hustle and bustle of Christmas. I say the candy bowl looks most inviting so be careful not to get chocolate on your tea towels. I have a red velvet cake calling me name.ReplyDelete
I have on my to-do list for the new year, to learn to watercolor. I have had a large watercolor paper sitting on a no longer wanted art desk that belonged to my daughter just waiting for me to give it a try. I have found a few how-to's on the internet and I think I should just take the plunge and put some paint on the paper.ReplyDelete
How I would love to learn to paint but time always gets in the way.
Sending very Happy New Year wishes to YOU!
Sounds like a wonderful SNOW day !ReplyDelete
Happy New Year !
I say head for the chocolate!!!!! As someone who has lived her entire life in Western New York, it's so funny to hear that an inch of snow shuts down a city. But I guess since you don't get snow you are not really prepared for it. Oh to be so lucky, ha!ReplyDelete

The Death of a Young Enthusiast Brings People Together.
This is a story of a Miata-loving crew, along with the rest of the internet, coming together for the family of someone they lost due to terrible illness. This is about Thomas Johst.
Thomas was diagnosed with Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis, a rare auto-immune disease that only ends in one thing. Even in the face of such a harsh reality, Thomas was always a positive, outgoing individual, as evident in the comments from readers of Jalopnik, a popular website dedicated to the performance automotive industry.
In the article, author Patrick George took it upon himself to help spread the word, as Thomas has recently passed away and his father was overwhelmed by medical bills and grief. Reading the comments was a heartwarming/breaking experience, and I would hope that the family can only learn to remember Thomas for what he loved and who he was, rather than be dragged down by money woes.
If ever there was a good cause to donate to, this is certainly worth a look. His step brother set up a gofundme account on the families behalf, and already over ten thousand dollars has been raised to help them out. Keep in mind the father was by his sons side for the last three months of his life, making work an impossibility.
Spread the word, donate to the cause, and remember that life is short. Life is precious. Treat yours and others around you with respect. God bless.

GoFundMe Alternatives That Actually Work
Crowdfunding websites are a huge part of Internet culture. You've probably heard of them – sites like GoFundMe that help people raise money. Sometimes, they do this to kick off a creative project, cover medical bills, or even help people start their ownbusiness. While GoFundMe may be what you first think of, it's definitely not the only crowdfunding site – take a look at these 5 GoFundMe alternatives.
1. Patreon
Patreon is a subscription-based website for creative minds. Instead of a one-time donation, patrons pledge on a monthly basis. Alternatively, if the creator doesn't produce content frequently enough to justify charging monthly, Patreon also allows for per-project or per-update donations. In exchange for their support, patrons gain access to exclusive content and downloads. The platform has made it possible for many YouTubers and comic artists to make a living doing what they love.
2. Ko-Fi
You may have seen sidebar buttons that read 'Buy Me A Coffee', 'Buy Me A Tea' or 'Buy Me A Hot Coco' – and those are all thanks to Ko-Fi. The default donation is $3 – roughly the cost of a coffee. If the donor wants, they can purchase multiple "coffees", or choose to have their donation occur on a monthly basis. These small gestures of kindness can be used to show support to content creators of all kinds.
3. Indiegogo
Indiegogo is on the hunt for new, innovative products. It enables inventors and entrepreneurs to make their visions a reality. In addition to crowdfunding, Indiegogo also has a marketplace, where they offer the latest and greatest in technology and inventions. Items from the marketplace are guaranteed to be produced and shipped.
4. Kickstarter
You've probably heard of Kickstarter, which provides a firm foundation for indie projects. Kickstarter campaigns last approximately a month. They start out with a set goal – however much the creators think will fund their entire project- and are only produced if the goal amount is hit. If the project doesn't reach the goal by the end of the campaign, none of the backers are charged. Many video games, books, crafts and films have found a beginning on Kickstarter.
5. Fundly
Fundly is an all-purpose crowdfunding site, used by creative and non-creative people alike. Fundly also has an option for nonprofits. Out of all of these platforms, Fundly has the most variety to it. People can create campaigns based around pets, traveling, medical costs, creativity, clubs and more – if there's a need for it, Fundly will provide. Fundly is very similar to Kickstarter – however, the time limits can be greatly stretched depending on the cause.
No matter the need, there are many GoFundMe alternatives. Most are geared towards content creators, but these sites serve clients of all backgrounds and needs. Crowdfunding is a revolutionary form of assistance that allows people to forego loans, and instead find relief and support through the kindness of friends, family, and even strangers. Thanks to them, hundreds upon thousands of new products and services are available that wouldn't be otherwise.

Jam or cream first? Time to pick a side once and for all!
• 900g self raising flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 200g butter, cold and cubed
• 200g caster sugar
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 100 ml double cream
• 100ml whole milk
• 1 tsp vanilla paste
• Clotted cream
• Strawberry jam
• Tea to serve
1. In a large bowl mix together the flour with the sugar and baking powder so well blended. Making sure the butter is cut into small pieces, rub quickly through the flour mix to make a breadcrumb like consistency. You don't want to overwork the mixture so try to handle it as little as possible.
2. In a jug add the beaten eggs, milk, cream and vanilla and whisk together. You may need a little extra milk later so keep it close.
3. Pour the crumbs onto a clean surface and make a well in the middle of it. Pour around a third of the wet mixture into the well and working from the outside in, mix the dough together.
4. Once all of the wet is absorbed, repeat the process with another third. Again you don't want to overwork the mix so you handle it only up to the point of the mixture coming together.
5. Once all combined and more of a dough consistency, using a rolling pin, flat out so it's 1 ½ inches thick. You want a 7 cm high sided biscuit cutter. Cut out as many scones as possible from the dough. Push the dough back together again and repeat until you cut anymore out.
6. Preheat the oven to 200. Place the scones onto a lined flat baking tray, you may need two, and with any left-over egg and milk wash, brush the top of scones. Making sure it doesn't drip down the side.
7. Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes, making sure they are cooked all the way through.
8. Serve with clotted cream and jam, you decide what goes on first!

Summer is here and we have been nothing short of active! I have our day trip bags always half way packed with water toys, clothes, snacks, and at least 2 pairs sweet summer shoes!
When kids are young, it is such a pain to keep up with their growing feet. Its frustrating to buy a great pair of shoes only for them to be too small in a matter of months. However, that's how it goes especially with boys.
Tips for Buying Shoes
* Buy a 1/2 size up. Be sure to actually try the shoes on your kids' feet and make sure that the 1/2 size is appropriate. Do some research on the brand (if you're planning to buy a well known one) and know whether or not they run small, tight etc.
*Get 2 pairs- if you can swing it. This is something I learned after buying a few pairs that were good brands and a) had the first pair ruined in a matter of days and b) they were grown out of within the first month due to a spurt.
*For the Summer- get a good pair of sandals and water shoes.
Hunter basically lives barefoot or in water shoes in the summer. Since he's still young we go through new shoes at least twice a year. This year we bought 2 pairs of Cat and Jack flip flops and some Fresko water shoes. While I personally like the look of the "sneaker water shoes" better, I chose the rubber sole shoes that come up and over the toes. That style is best for him since we frequent rivers with lots of rocks and sharp edges.
There are a ton of choices when it comes to kids shoes. However, there are quite a few brands that are better than others.
We have quite a few different pairs of Plae shoes. These are great for toddlers. They're water-friendly and quick dry. Plus, they're lightweight with availability to tighten, and come in a vareity of colors.
These Merrell sandals are very versatile. They are made with high quality leather straps, rubber sole and toe, and can be used for hiking and playing in the water.
We had a pair of these Crocs that Hunter loved- until his feet grew 1/2 a size up in less than a month. They're lightweight, very breathable, give protection almost like a normal shoe, and they look like little boating shoes! The only downside I found was that the entire shoe is made of durable plastic (which doesn't sound bad..) but there is no fabric inside the shoe. I would suggest looking into another shoe if your kids have sensitive feet and easily get blisters.
I am a big fan of the covered toe sandal for kids. I'm not sure how your kids are, but Hunter has trouble picking up his feet and trips over the tops of his shoes often. When he has a covered toe I worry less about his toes getting scraped up. These cute Teva toddler shoes that come with open toe and closed work well for hiking and water play. They also have and "older" version of these sandals that are just a cool. I'll likely get a pair when Hunter's feet grow into them.
Hunter and I are similar in the fact that we love color. While we both share in loving the color blue, we also love big, bold colors. I found these OshKosh bumptoe sport sandals and immediately knew we needed to have them. The extra selling point I liked about the sandals were the fact that they were machine washable! Rinsing shoes that walk everywhere is one thing- but a deep cleaning is always good.
Here's another great hiking/water shoe option. We live in the mountains in North Carolina (wish we were closer to the beach..) so not needing to switch shoes every time we hike into a river is so much easier.
Although this shoe is an off brand, it has real potential. This Cior watershoe has mesh on the top, a rubber sole and an easy slip on sneaker/ water shoe hybrid.

I have been thinking about the question of the difference between shooting film vs digital for quite awhile now. I'm not talking about the end result of comparing the same photo taken on a film and a digital camera.
I'm also not talking about the actual cost difference between the 2 formats. You can easily find numerous articles online about the technical and cost comparisons.
Rather I am thinking about the actual process that I go through when shooting them. With digital it's much easier to spend a great deal of time fiddling with the settings and reviewing the results.
At the moment, the majority of my film photography has been with a lomo camera, the LC-A+. There are few choices for settings. In fact the only things that I can choose is the film, the ISO and for focusing there are 4 different ranges.
So it's really just a matter of lifting the camera to the eye and framing the shot and pressing the shutter. So technically all I have to do is compose and shoot.
Yet for some reason I find that I take more time when shooting with film even though it doesn't take more time to shoot. The only added step is advancing the film by winding a few turns.
Even though film does cost more, I don't find it that expensive or cost prohibitive. When I'm shooting digital or film, I tend to be in a zone where I'm not thinking about anything other than the composition.
When I'm working with people on street photography, we start with getting a good exposure so that we can forget about reviewing photos after every shot.
Alas, with film photography you don't have the advantage or perhaps disadvantage of previewing the shot you just took. It's possible that the not knowing what you will capture until the film is developed could be an important element in why it takes more time for me to shoot with film.
If so, it is beyond what I am conscious of when shooting. I think that it's definitely a good exercise as a photographer to shoot both and not feel a necessity to privilege one over the other.
Yes, I'm still working out the differences. Your comments on the subject are always welcome.

Misunderstood sign sparks controversy
HOUSTON It started last year when a widely circulated e-mail wrongly accused a Houston-area business owner who's Muslim of commemorating the 911 attacks. That same e-mail is circulating again this year. Sajid Master says he's being targeted over an issue he says is inaccurate. "I respect everybody's sentiments to be American," he said. "I am American, too, but nevertheless you need to go to the truth." The cause of his problems is the sign he put up last year announcing the closing of his Harwin-area business on September 11 to commemorate, says the sign, the martyrdom of Imam Ali. A picture of the sign was widely circulated last year through e-mail, saying the store owners were commemorating the 911 attacks. Instead, says Master, Imam Ali is a Muslim prophet who lived over 1,000 years ago. It was a distinction not known to Marine Michael Shamsi, who received the e-mail last year while serving in Iraq. "I remembered it because it upset a lot of people, especially the local contractors here based out of Houston," Shamsi said. "It gave Houston a very negative image." Master did not put up his sign this year and apologized last year and on Wednesday for any confusion. Yet he says he is still being harassed. "It was a misunderstanding," Master said. "They've found out my house number and even called up my house." Shamsi admits he came here this year looking for the sign that angered him last year in Iraq. Instead, he saw the meaning behind the sign and recognizes the chasm caused when religious freedom crosses into personal feelings. "We have people that are dying for our freedom, fighting in Afghanistan, fighting in Iraq," Shami said. "We really need to take a step back and look at the whole picture as far as what we can do and what's borderline and what's going over the line." The shop owner hopes the threats and e-mails to stop.

Preeti is an HIV positive caretaker at our partner home in Jaipur, India. Preeti lost her husband to AIDS, which is when she moved to Jaipur for testing, medication and work.
Just like all of the caretakers at the home, she's full of love, strength, compassion and modesty. These women are our heroes, which is why we name our products after them. The anklet we named after Preeti, with all it's charms, is a symbol of her love for all the children she takes care of – her darlings.
As with all our caretakers, they've asked us to respect their privacy and not show their face, just their hands.

Yeah ok, so I know it's not Friday any more. But I had a BIG TRAUMA on Friday that I just HAD to blog about..
So, the car park at work is really difficult to park in. It's very tight. And we double park so we can get more cars in.
Around lunchtime someone asked me to move my car, so I went down to do that. But someone had parked really close to me so it was tight getting out.
After about 5 mins, my car wouldn't move. And I looked round and every time I tried to move, the car next to me moved aswell. Turns out I'd driven into it and was kinda stuck.
So the big group of people who were all going out for their Christmas meal stood around and looked and went "oh dear". But nobody could help. So they had to call the lady whose car I'd scraped against to come move her car forward a bit so I could get out.
I had scraped a little bit of paint off her car. And trust me to do it to the most expensive car in the car park! She didn't seem pleased. No T-Cut for her. No siree! She'll be taking it into a garage to find out how much it will cost!
I was so traumatized I started crying and drove away. I sat in my car for about an hour, just sobbing. And I only had ONE tissue in the car too! And no coat. And no music.
I eventually stopped myself blubbering and went back into work. With red puffy eyes and a big red nose. I kept it together until hometime, when I went to Tescos to buy 2 big tubs of ice cream.
Mmm.. All better now!

The second brilliant novel from the bestselling author of The Horse Whisperer, reissued with a stunning new cover.
Helen Ross, a twenty-nine-year-old biologist, is sent to a sleepy Rocky Mountain ranching town to defend a pack of wolves from those who want to destroy them. For in Hope, Montana, a century ago, the wolf was slaughtered to extinction and though now protected by law as an endangered species, the old hatred runs deep.
Alone in this hostile place, bruised by a broken love affair, Helen struggles for self-esteem and survival, embarking on a dangerous alliance with the son of her most ferocious opponent, the brutal and charismatic Buck Calder.
Things aren't going too well for wolf biologist Helen Ross. At 29, she's unemployed (recently retired dishwasher), single (boyfriend of two years left her for Africa), and has just learned that her father is marrying someone younger, richer, and prettier than herself (completely accurate). Back in her lonely log cabin in Cape Cod, frantically chain-smoking, she receives a message from her former lover Dan Prior. Prior, also a biologist, works for the US Fish & Wildlife Service wolf-recovery program. In return for helping him track the lupine posse, Prior will provide her with a cabin, truck, and a snowmobile for good measure in a rustic little town called Hope, just outside of Helena, Montana. Apparently, Ross has never heard the proverb "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is," and happily skips off to Big Sky Country. Within moments of her arrival, she finds out what she's up against: a small town with a long history of wolf fear and loathing, no resources (big surprise) and a powerful rancher who will do whatever it takes to eliminate the wolves. The rancher, testosterone-saturated Buck Calder, has got the community riled up after a wolf stalked his daughter's home and killed the family dog. He won't stop until every last endangered wolf is dead, which proves problematic for Ross when she decides to romance his 18- year-old son, Luke. Cynics be warned: their love affair spawns a trove of gooey pillow talk and syrupy prose. Even so, Evans has made impressive strides as a writer since his debut novel, The Horse Whisperer, and his storytelling has reached a noticeably new level of sophistication: the plot is tight, the characterisation is realistic, and the dialogue is crisp. - Rebekah Warren

Stop Fighting it and Redirect
We focus even more on the problem we want to get rid of. By giving it energy, it grows in our minds. This makes us feel even worse, so we do the behavior again and again to get the "peace, comfort and relief" we need, even though we know there will be consequences. And eventually we develop the belief that we are powerless against it. It's definitely a vicious circle.
Eckhart Tolle said once said "One of the main tasks of the mind is to fight or remove the emotional pain, which is one of the reasons for its incessant activity, but all it can ever achieve is to cover it up temporarily. In fact, the harder the mind struggles to get rid of the pain, the greater the pain"
Consider the view point that it is not that we are powerless against our unwanted habits or addictions, it is that we are so powerful, our thoughts are so powerful that we are actually the one keeping the thing that is unwanted in our lives alive.
By redirecting our thoughts away from the unwanted behavior entirely, and more in the direction of what you want and what makes you feel good, the energy you were giving the unwanted habit starts to lessen.

Bees bearding or clustered on the front of the hive is normal during the summer months. Bearding occurs when the hives have increased their colony size to take advantage of the nectar flows that are happening in the spring and summer. During these months it is peak season when the bees have the opportunity to collect nectar to make honey stores for the winter so they need more worker bees that can forage during these peak nectar flows. Since the bees do not want to overheat the hive and it's delicate balance of a consistent broodnest temperature, some of the bees will hang out on the outside of the hive.
You may notice some of the bees on the outside fanning to allow circulation of airflow into the hive. Bearding is normal as the colony's numbers have increased creating an overflow. The hotter weather can cause bearding as can rainy days. During a rainy day you may see more bearding on the front of the hive as some foraging field bees will stay out in the field all night, but when it rains they are back at the hive and you may see bearding on a rainy day.
During the late spring and summer months when the temperatures increase, be sure to check that there is adequate airflow around your hives and your hives are well shaded for a good portion of the day. If your hive is not getting shade in the heat of the day, around 2-4pm, you may want to put up a shade cloth or an attachable umbrella on the hive to shade the colony from the heat. You can also lean a large piece of plywood on the side of the hive that is getting the most sun to help protect the hive from the heat. On really, really hot days you can water around your hive and on top of a peaked or ventilated roof to cool down the hive. We do this on 90 plus days.
This hive may be receiving radiant heat from being too close to the house.
A ventilated roof is critical if you live in a climate where temperatures reach the 80s and 90s. Ventilated Roofs
Wild bees inhabiting a tree don't have ridge vents, but they are also well insulated from the heat of the sun by the thick, dense wood of the tree. Our Ventilated Roof insures that the heat generated by the sun

About this time of year, it's not unusual to find yourself fishing some typical summer patterns while also looking at some new opportunities. For all practical purposes, even though we feel like fall is on the way; it's still summer. Just like last month, tarpon are still holding in and around the deeper holes of the upper harbor as well as the bridges. Early in the morning, looking for rolling fish is a great way to begin any day. And, even though a live threadfin works great; this is the time to throw a deep running D.O.A. Bait Buster.
For new opportunities, even though the heat still makes it feel like summer to us, fish are generally ahead of the curve and snook should enter a transition phase as summer winds down. As their spawning season comes to a close, they'll begin making their way away from the beaches, passes, and deeper cuts and move towards the rivers and backcountry creek systems. They'll also need to put on weight after spawning.
Out of Punta Gorda, shorelines bordering the harbor in close proximity to creek systems are worth exploring. On the west side, the west wall, an eight-mile long shoreline that runs from Cape Haze Point to the Myakka River has lots of potential. On the east side, the stretch from Ponce Park to Pirate Harbor, a labyrinth of small islands, can fish well. Out of Placida at the base of the Boca Grande Bridge, outside shorelines from the southern edge of Cayo Pelau down through Bull and Turtle Bay to the southern edge of Cape Haze Point is good real estate.
With this in mind, this has traditionally been a good time to look for redfish. Typically, this and next month provide some of our best redfish fishing of the year. It's now that the fish begin to school up in preparation for the spawn and some of the larger oversized fish come in from the Gulf. It's these fish that are fun to run into up on the flats. When in schools, if not spooked, they can be very aggressive as they compete to eat. In general, flats adjacent to the passes are good places to look. Conveniently, from Stump to redfish Pass we have five passes to explore.
Until next month, good tides.

Do you remember the last time you saw someone blushing? What causes an individual to become flushed with their face and ears turning rosy red? Are they embarrassed or ashamed? It's sad but true that it takes a lot to make people blush today! Conversations, life styles and entertainment that were unacceptable in the past are seen as routine in most circles. If "anything goes" there is no cause to feel embarrassment or shame.
"Have you no shame?" The prophet Zephaniah approached the problem. "The Lord is righteous in her midst, He will do no unrighteousness. Every morning He brings His justice to light; He never fails, but the unjust knows no shame (Zephaniah 3:5 NKJ)." Is there any solution? Shame returns only when the Holy Spirit personally pricks the heart and conscience. Seeing the light of God's holiness opens our eyes to our sin and guilt. Jesus waits tenderly to remove that shame and floods our souls with forgiveness! Our faces will then glow with God's glorious grace!

HIV Drug Videx Side Effects Linked to Liver Problems: FDA
Federal regulators are warning that the Bristol-Myers Squib HIV drug Videx appears to be linked to rare liver problems, known as non-cirrotic portal hypertension, which could be fatal for some users.
The Videx side effects warning was issued on January 29 by the FDA. The agency noted that it has received 42 adverse event reports among users of Videx and Videx EC involving the rare, but serious, liver disorder over the last 18 years. At least four of the patients died from bleeding or liver failure on Videx after developing the condition.
Videx (didanosine) is an antiretroviral drug marketed by Bristol-Myers Squib. It was first approved by FDA in 1991. In 2000, the FDA approved a delayed-release version called Videx EC. The drug belongs to a class of medications known as nucleoside analogues, and reduces the growth of HIV.
Non-cirrhotic portal hypertension is the result of restricted blood flow through a major vein in the liver. The blood backs up to veins in the esophagus, which become enlarge and distended. The enlarged veins can sometimes rupture, leading to serious bleeding and, potentially, death.
Despite the risk of Videx liver damage, the FDA says that the drug should stay on the market, because the benefits for HIV patients still outweigh the risks. The FDA is requiring new label warnings, as well as changes to the medication guide to alert users about the potential risk of the Videx side effects. The drug already has been known to cause liver toxicity when combined with some other antiretroviral medications, such as hydroxyurea and ribavirin.
The FDA recommends that doctors with patients taking Videx regularly monitor for signs of portal hypertension.

Welcome to our resource for MG Car Information.
MG MGA - Back In The Race - Brooklands 1935
|There I was being towed around the shops by Wifey today (Saturday morning) when a car print in a charity shop window caught my eye.
5.99 ($9) later I was the proud possessor of a rather nice framed print titled 'Back in the Race - Brooklands 1935' by Kevin Walsh.
The blue car is, I think, an R-Type midget. Can anyone confirm.
My late Mother-in-law was a time keeper at Brooklands in 1935, so a sort of family link to the scene depicted.
Not MGA I Know, but I thought you might like to see the painting/print.
|Steve Gyles
|I bought something very like that on a jigsaw puzzle a few years ago.
|Geoff Ev
|Sure looks like one:
|Del Rawlins
|Hi Steve..There are a number of prints available by the same artist all featuring a variety of MG's and are post cards,place mats and coasters etc......Yes it is a R Type.....But the poster you have looks good...Cheers Rex
|Rex Thompson
|Kevin Walsh did an MGA too, see http://www.rutgerbooy.nl/mga-postcards/aa
|Rutger Booy
|Steve, I am sure that others will know, I would say that was Doreen Evans after a pit stop at Brooklands. Probably painted from a well-known photograph. I think that I am correct in saying that she passed away a couple of years ago. They were quite a well-known motoring family, I think. R-types produced nearly 200 hp per litre, not surpassed until the early 1950's by the GP Alfa Romeos (type 153?).
|Barry Bahnisch
|Good info Barry. However, did Doreen have a moustache?!! It is a male that is depicted in the car.
What I find slightly odd is that I have a couple of the pit lane photos taken by my Mother-in-Law showing the cars race in the opposite direction (one of the pictures attached).
Perhaps someone who knows the old Brooklands circuit can explain.
|Steve Gyles
|Good point, Steve, I was unable to distinguish the moustache! Maybe the artist took some licence when he copied from the photograph? I think that the cars ran in the opposite direction in front of the pits when the Mountain Circuit was used? Wonderful old circuit, the "home" of motoring competition in England, now sitting on prime land but no-one seems to be game to destroy the hallowed old place! It is now a bit of an anachronism and apparently noise was a problem, practically from the start! Pity we have moved on, such wonderful feats were achieved there!
|Barry Bahnisch
|I meant to add that I think that the Evans family ran Bellevue Garage (?) and their cars, having been prepared by that organisation, had white stripes on their bonnet sides. Not sure whether the picture depicts this?
|Barry Bahnisch
That hangar in the photo still exists. The clubhouse and some workshops are still there and form a historic car and aircraft museum. A few hundred metres of the banking has survived but is quite dilapidated, although the museum regularly exercises cars on it for the public's enjoyment. Next door to the museum Mercedes has its UK HQ, complete with a car testing circuit. Over the other side of the old airfield is a business park. One of the buildings houses the Sony HQ for the UK and, I think, Europe. And around the entire complex is a sea of houses!
|Steve Gyles
|For some reason I can't upload any pictures, so I'll try later.
Steve, the poster by Kevin Walsh is a copy of a picture taken in 1935 which shows Doreen Evans with R-type #38 rejoining the Brooklands International Trophy Race after a pitstop at the model's racing debute
|Rutger Booy
|Here's the picture of Doreen. I scanned it from the book 'MG by McComb'
|Rutger Booy
|The Evans family that owned Bellevue Garage also had a shed on Brooklands where the R-type was prepared for the race. I took this picture in 2006
|Rutger Booy
|Here' my Brooklands contribution's Steve:
JCC 200-Miles Race at Brooklands, 20 September 1924
and my grandfather again at the same even (not brookands this time) as old No 1 - MG
.... more modern view of brooklands by myself two weeks ago, this time MGA related
|Mark Hester
|Excellent picture, Rutger! It seems rather churlish of Steve and Barry to comment on Doreen's mustache.
|Ken Korey
Please explain what is churlish to me. The combination of a question mark and explanation mark is one way of showing a sense of humour. Not sure where churlishness comes into it.
The artist's interpretation does not depict a female driver, showing instead what very much appears to be a moustache.
|Steve Gyles
|This and many more Kevin Walsh paintings can be found on this page of my site: http://www.mgnuts.com/artwork/paintings/
It is indeed an R-Type, easily noted by the independent rear suspension.
|Steve Simmons
|Not wanting to fan the flames Steve but I just double checked the word "churlish" in my dictionary and apparently it means rustic and/or ill bred! :-)
It may well have been facial hair or possibly just an unfortunate reflection in her crash helmets visor.
But whichever it was, Doreen must have been one formidable woman to race an R-type.
Steve, you are an absolute gem (and a true gent) on this forum, but churlish? Definitely not.
|Colyn Firth
Thank you for your words. Following the sequence of posts above you will see that Doreen only became confirmed as the driver of the car in that painting after my 'churlish' post. Up to that point it was unconfirmed, hence the light banter between Barry and myself. Paintings can be interpretated in many ways. Yes, you could argue the case for visor reflections. Equally, in the light of any other qualified information at the time it sure looked like a moustache to me - and still does.
|Steve Gyles
|An R Type with 'handlebars', perhaps, Steve?
I have two MGA jigsaws mounted on the garage wall, including the AA box one (the other is of a red A in Malham, Yorkshire)
|Doreen Evans and her brothers, Doreen sitting atop her R-Type:
Doreen Evans portrait:
Doreen racing her R-Type, in the pits:
A fiery end to Doreen's R-Type in 1936:
Notice gentlemen, no mustache! ;)
|Steve Simmons
|Steve, I looked thru a history of Brooklands book that I have, and could find no reference to the cars racing in either direction. However, the attached photo from the Brooklands web site appears to be taken from the same spot as your image was, but the pits seem to be gone. There was no date to this picture. I wonder if the direction of racing was changed between Double Twelve races, I seem to remember reading about that some where.
|G Goeppner
I will have to take a closer look at the old race track plans when I am next up there (20 miles up the road).
I have attached 4 pictures of the museum as it is now - basically what is behind the doors of the surviving garages as shown in Rutger's photos. Also shown is part of the aircraft collection inside the hangar. Sadly, also shown is the last remaining section of the banked track leading on to Railway Straight.
The Wellington bomber crashed landed in Loch Ness (monster and all that) during WW2 and was recovered in 1985.

If you're new here, you might not know, but I have been a blogger for six years. Unfortunately, a while back I decided I no longer wanted to blog and I therefore deleted all the hard work of those years. Recently, I decided to rejoin the blogging community and so am starting from scratch again.
Every year without fail, I'd always buy pretty much all of the Halloween and Christmas range from Lush to do a haul. I think last year, I spent about £50 buying all the cute little bits and have spent most of 2018 using them up!
I saw on twitter a couple of months ago that the Halloween and festive ranges were now available at Lush and so did not hesitate to pop onto their website to have a browse, purse in hand, ready to spend. However, I was so shocked that I didn't buy anything and don't intend to either. Since when were bath bombs nearly £5 each! I suddenly felt like I needed a mortgage to be able to afford them. I ended up thinking that for the price of a one use bath bomb, I could buy a bottle of just as lovely smelling bubble bath and have change left over to add a bottle of wine in too!
Over the following days, I was pleased to see that I wasn't the only one that was feeling this way and I read so many comments from people saying how ridiculous the prices were and how they wouldn't dream of spending that amount of money on a one use only item. So therefore, I have decided that I will not be doing my usual Lush shopping and so there will be no Lush haul on the blog this year.
What do you think of the Lush prices this year?
Will you still be buying from them or are you going to find alternatives too?
