4 Reasons you have a damp wall
Damp walls are a common problem in many Edmonton house holds. It is irritating and frustrating when you don't understand the cause and are unable to deal with it. There is no point blaming the construction because, with the amount of snowing and raining dampness is almost inevitable in Edmonton. It is better to understand the reasons behind damp walls and take some precautionary measures.
1. Rising damp
If you notice damp walls and damaged paint close to the flooring, then most probable culprit is rising damp. There are a few reasons this can happen.
2. Condensation
Test a part of wall to see if your problem of dampness is due to condensation. Dry a piece of the usually wet wall with a blow dryer. Stick a dry tissue to the area with a tape. Observe after 24 hours. If the tissue is wet the problem is due to condensation.
In this scenario, get a dehumidifiers installed for your house or for a cheaper option go for exhaust fans. This problem is likely to occur in areas with less ventilation and air circulation.
3. Patches
Wet patches near your windows mean that the water is coming in through the gaps around the window frame. It can cause your beautiful windows to rot and your paint to fade and even damage some furniture if kept too close to window. Get water proofing done to your window seals and check it every year before the raining season starts. If the windows are too old, you might have to consider getting new window frames.
4. Leaks
Dampness around the ceiling or on a long stretch of wall is generally caused by leakage. If your roof structure is poor or a tile is missing, it can be a major cause. If not, then there are chances that your pipes are corroded or damaged, and water is leaking into your walls and weakening your whole structure. You should not ignore this. It can cause serious damage to your home.
It is advisable to take immediate action. Get your house inspected by professional plumbers and get a permanent solution for your piping. If your piping isn't damaged too much you can go for epoxy piping which will save you a lot of money of re-piping. Call Pro Plumbing to get your house inspected if you suspect dampness due to leaks. They will provide you befitting solution to your needs. They are certified and licensed team of plumbers in the field since 20 years. Trust only the best when it comes to your home structure!

Conveyor Belt Guide
At Techbelt we take pride in being the United Kingdom's market leading manufacturer of conveyor belts. Specialising in high temperature resistant, non- stick belts as our area of expertise.
The belts we manufacture are usually made to suit a specific conveyor type depending on the application it is designed for. An example for this would be conveyor belts used in the manufacturing of Tortilla breads where the belts are exposed to high temperatures. We have listed these belts for you with a small description to help you decide how we can help you and your business.
Baler Belts are used by the farming community. Our belts are manufactured from high quality material and will suit a wide range of baler machines such as Claas, Vicon, Massey Fergusson and Welga. We can also offer, on special order, belts for John Deere Baler machines as well as New Holland machines such as the 640 and 650 which can be supplied with truly endless belts. Please contact us for further details.
Dryer belts are a best seller here at Techbelt. We have a wide range to suit ovens and curing units. All our belts are custom, in-house designed and are produced here by our engineering team; this means you can have the exact size you need. Our main type of material used for these styles of dryer belts is a PTFE coated open mesh, depending on the type of dryer they are being fitted to, we can either specify standard brown or anti-static black versions. Our PTFE dryer belts will operate at 260°C and will work with UV, IR and hot air dryer methods.
PTFE coated conveyor belts are often the belt of choice for machine manufacturers of fusing, laminating or powder coating lines. The materials that are laminated are often covered with a heat activated adhesive therefore the PTFE belt is an excellent choice due to its non-stick properties. Also due to the high and low temperatures experienced immediately after each other within the process, the belts are well suited to handle this quick change in temperature.
Polyester Mesh Belts – Polyester Monofilament process conveyor belting is available in a wide variety of yarn thicknesses and apertures. Polyester mesh is used as a carrier belt for drying within the printing and textile industry and also used as dewatering belts for fruit and vegetables in the food industry.
It has excellent chemical, thermal and high permeability for ease of cleaning. It has a working temperature: of +150°C to -75°C in dry conditions. 70°C+ in wet conditions. The nature of polyester belting is such that it offers a very durable long lasting media for extended life. Strong polyester fibres provide excellent stability.
PTFE mesh belts are used in applications such as the drying of printed products for example; point of display stands, T-shirts, glass and mass produced paper prints. PTFE open mesh belting is ideally suited for conveying products within highly efficient air distribution systems allowing optimised moisture removal to take place. The PTFE open mesh conveyor belting is lightweight and has energy efficiency for economical operation, it is easy to handle and less expensive than wire alternatives that can be difficult to replace. The material property allows resistance to temperature.
Companies manufacturing packets of biscuits or toilet rolls would normally use these belts in order to seal the ends of the packets.
PTFE Sealer belts are ideally suited where thermal transfer through the surface of the belt is required in order to seal plastic materials. The premium grade PTFE used to manufacture the belts has a non-stick, high temperature resistant surface that prevents any molten plastics from building up on the belts surface.
PTFE bag sealing belts are ideally suited where thermal transfer through the surface of the belt is required in order to seal plastic bags. High volume bag manufacturing systems often use these types of belts running as a pair creating a clamping effect on the bag. It has a non-stick PTFE Surface, with a temperature resistant up to 260°C. It is very lightweight and energy efficiency for economical operation.
Polyurethane and PVC conveyor belting is used in almost all types of environments where anything from delicate food products and thin paper to heavy boxes and packaging require conveying from one area to another. Conveyor Belts and Drive Belts play a major role in the manufacture and distribution of products in industries such as food, tobacco and logistics to name but a few. Your individual requirements will determine the spec of belt design that you will need.
Modular belts are becoming more common place in a number of environments due to its durability and multi-functional properties. Modular belting can be used to convey a multitude of products including bakery goods, wood, glass, raw materials, seafood, poultry and produce; because of its temperature range it can also be used for cooling and drainage. Belt compounds are also available to enhance a wide range of belt properties that include diffusing static electricity build up, preventing freezing, increasing heat resistance, and increasing or reducing friction.
Tech-Grip roller coverings can be used on any conveyor that requires a friction surface to benefit the application. It can be used to create extra drive on conveyor belts or simple as a friction surface to aid the flow of a product or material passing over. Its material properties allow wide operating temperature ranges with superior mechanical grip. The micro cellular PVC sponge is ideal for uneven fabrics like brocade fabrics due to its softer nature avoiding damage to delicate fabrics.
High temperature food grade belts can be used in a wide range of applications and are typically suited to dough pressing applications like Tortillas and oven conveying of Naan and Pita bread. Also depending on the grade of belt it can be used for meat such as chicken breast, burgers and meatballs. Our food grade belts have specially developed coatings that work hard to prevent fat ingression and wicking. They are available in a range of sizes and colours to suit your needs.
Polyester Dewatering belts are used as a carrier and transport belt in the food processing industry. Typically they can be found in companies that process and wash vegetables and salads. These belts are offered in two colours which typically have a square aperture which allows for fast and efficient water drainage. The material allows excellent chemical, thermal and high permeability for ease of cleaning.
There are three mesh belt edgings. Firstly, PTFE Film Edging, which encapsulates the edge to help stop fraying and offer protection. The benefit of using film is that it is soft in nature and will stretch with the belt when under tension.
Secondly we have, PTFE Glass Cloth, which can be used as a sturdier option to film and a good option if a tracking arm is used to detect the edge of the belt when coming into contact with it.
Thirdly we have, PTFE Coated Kevlar which is the most durable of the edging types and is a good option when the edge of the belt will be in contact with tracking aids. It is also a good option when considering using tracking studs of cord on the belt.
We have a range of Belt joints, in various sizes with different capabilities for your needs.
These tracking aids usually fixed to one edge on the conveyor belt with the head of the dot running on the inside of the belts circumference.
We have a few tracking aids and cords and can help you decide which is best for you.

Major League Baseball has announced their 50 finalists for this year's MLB Fan Cave. And while not every team has a fan represented, the Rays do have one…sorta.
The finalist representing the Rays is Megan Washington, from Cape Coral, Florida. And she says she is a Rays fan. But she also says she is a Yankees fan. So yeah, she really isn't a fan of either.
In her video application, she is even seen wearing a Yankees jersey. And she was also wearing a Yankees jersey in her Twitter avatar (it has since been changed).
Obviously this is troubling at best, and a slap to the face of the Rays fan base at worse. After all, if they were going to pick a Rays fan, there was at least one real Rays fan that even had the endorsement of David Price and James Shields.
But what is really troubling is that this caters to the stereotype that the Rays don't have any real fans and the few that do exist are just jumping on the bandwagon and still have one foot on the Yankees or Red Sox wagon.
So, Miss Washington now needs people to vote for her in order to make into the actual Fan Cave. And we told her we would support her campaign if she renounced the Yankees. She would not.
We spoke with the folks at the Fan Cave, and they explained that it wasn't about finding reps for each team specifically (by our count, the White Sox, Marlins, Royals, Nationals,and Astros are without any reps), but rather it was more about finding the most entertaining fans out of the 22,000 applicants.
Still, it is not easy to be a true baseball fan and root for two teams. It is downright impossible if those two teams play in the same division.
So if there is a possibility that the "Rays representative" will be wearing Yankees gear in the Fan Cave, well, we would just prefer that the Fan Cave not have a Rays fan at all.

I recently came across an informative article that goes over the history of the iconic Chanel 2.55 Handbag and all of the details, and the inspiration behind them on Fashion Pearls of Wisdom.
The writer takes us through her most recent find of an original Chanel 2.55 bag from the 1950s-1960s that was designed by Mademoiselle Chanel herself. So gorgeous! She then details the differences between the original bag ("reissue") and the handbag that Karl Lagerfeld tweaked in the 1980s ("classic"). Both bags are still available today and have very subtle differences.
Finally, the writer gives us tips on how to spot a fake – very helpful clues. I still don't have a 2.55 bag and it's on the top of my wish list but now I would love to get my hands on an original designed by Coco herself.
Read the full article on Fashion Pearls of Wisdom.

Winnipeg Withdraws as Host of 2020 North America Continental OutGames
(Winnipeg, MB; August 10, 2017) – After careful review of the cancellation of the 2017 Miami World OutGames, the 2020 North America OutGames Planning Committee (Planning Committee) has decided to withdraw Winnipeg as host of the 2020 North America OutGames.
"With the incident that happened in Miami this past June and how the athletes were treated, we feel that we are no longer in a positon to deliver an exceptional experience for LGBTTQ* athletes under the OutGames banner " said Jonathan Niemczak Chair of the 2020 North America OutGames Planning Committee. "The Planning Committee is very disappointed with how the cancellation of the Miami World OutGames unfolded, and as a result, we cannot support going forward with hosting an OutGames event".
Winnipeg will still be hosting the Fierté Canada | Canada Pride Festival in 2020 and the Planning Committee is redirecting the efforts that went into the 2020 OutGames to produce a new Canadian LGBTTQ* multi-sporting event.
"We had tons of positive feedback and excitement when we announced our winning bid for the 2020 North America OutGames, and we want to carry forward that momentum" said Niemczak. "The Planning Committee is exploring a new national LGBTTQ* multi-sporting event that will form a piece of the 2020 Fierté Canada Pride celebrations. More information on this event will be released in early 2018".

Lucas Benjamin steers the soundship closer to home this time, exploring the sounds, inspirations and unstoppable force of Legove, a promising Dutch artist whose musical roots stem from B-Boy culture, Onyx Ashanti's improvisations… and the Transformers franchise.
Have you ever wondered what it would sound like if an orchestra of transformers from the future soundtracked a Japanese Anime movie with Electronic Jazz Fusion? Probably not, but I certainly hope your curiosity has been tickled enough to read on.
Rowdy Lewing was born on 7th of August, 1989, in Enschede, a small city in the Eastern Netherlands where he still resides. From a young age, he was surrounded by lots of soul, funk and jazz – music that formed the cornerstone of hip hop. One of his first memories of consciously liking a song was listening to Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" on his Walkman at the age of six. When he was eight he started B-Boying (more commonly known as breakdancing). While he was exposed to a lot of different music at dance battles and jams, it was the energetic drum breaks that mostly moved him. This understanding of intricate rhythmic patterns and percussion is one of the main ingredients that shapes his sound today.
Lewing started making music when he was about 15 or 16 as Rawdee, his previous moniker before his 2015 name change to LEGOVE. He grew up watching his uncle Peeano – a dancer in the 80s – make beats with Fruity Loops and that was how Lewing "caught the bug" himself. At that time it was mainly Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes and N.E.R.D. that inspired his first productions. They had an R&B/Hip Hop vibe with mostly warm chord progressions and hard-hitting drums. Back in the days of Myspace, Lewing put some of those tracks online, and later released several beat tapes. All of these are sadly no longer anywhere to be found. His earliest available work is his 2012 self-released debut album Hawks Eye View , which is still online on Bandcamp.
In the years leading up to this album Lewing was heavily inspired by the glitchy audio effects and other sounds found in the Transformers movies, and by Japanese cyberpunk Anime movies like Akira and Tekkonkinkreet.
"The Diary" is Lewing's interpretation of his Akira experience.
Perhaps surprisingly, given his background as a breakdancer, many of LEGOVE's creations are challenging even for other dancers. I think it gives his productions an edge that most producers/musicians are unable to achieve, simply because he is able to connect to music on a whole other level. When they are able to, however, the result is pretty special; like when this dancer won an experimental dance competition in Amsterdam performing to his track, "Phase Two".
When asked which artist has shaped his sound the most, his answer was: Onyx Ashanti. He first discovered Ashanti – an American inventor, musician and street busker – through the internet, where the two struck up a friendship and have since met several times in person.
A saxophone player when he started out, Ashanti – who has lived in London, Amsterdam and Berlin – picked up an EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument) in the 1990s and began experimenting with other electronics, ultimately culminating in the design, programming and 3D printing of his own instrument. We've yet to see its final manifestation, as it remains a work-in-progress that continues to evolve every day.
When Ashanti performs, everything is 100% improvised. The following is a precious moment in time captured on audio that had a huge impact on LEGOVE, and it continues to be one of the most inspiring pieces of music that graced his ears. Named "Phoenix", it's a recording of an impromptu live performance by Ashanti in Berlin in 2008.
Another one of LEGOVE's key ingredients is the broken-beat sound. Instead of emulating what they did in West London, however, he created his own interpretation of that sound. His timing and groove is nothing like what Dego, Kaidi Tatham and the rest of the Bugz were doing. In "Explain" I can definitely hear the funk/broken beat influence, just expressed differently in his own unique way.
I always love it when artists translate the feeling they get from certain experiences and put that into their craft. "Wayfarer", a beautiful composition inspired by the movie Interstellar, was made the very next day after Lewing had seen it, using nothing but a regular PC with FL Studio, only VSTs, dozens of sounds and a midi keyboard. Mind blowing!
This next piece has that same uniquely classical quality that allows you to transcend into another realm.
When asked if there were any specific orchestral compositions that had touched him, Lewing instantly offered "Love Remembered" by Wojciech Kilar from the Dracula Soundtrack. And I can see why, as it's an extraordinarily beautiful and haunting piece.
Besides electronic and orchestral music, Lewing's other source of inspiration is the 70s; more specifically the warmth of jazz fusion, soul and funk. In my opinion, there has never been an era quite like the iconic 70s, in terms of the way everything was recorded; the ideas and concepts manifested back then still enrich my life every day. LEGOVE picked "Theme of Angels" by The Stairsteps to emphasize this. The synths used on this recording are all from the infamous TONTO, the enormous modular synthesizer built by Malcolm Cecil and Bob Margouleff which was used on essential Stevie Wonder albums such as Music Of My Mind, Talking Book, Innervisions and Fulfillingness' First Finale. It's still one of the most beautiful characteristic synth sounds out there and "Theme of Angels" is the perfect showcase of that.
LEGOVE's creations are always brilliantly balanced. With just enough warmth in his sometimes slightly darker and industrial grooves, he never fails to tell you a story and take you on a journey. "Trecna" shows exactly that. It's a track of otherwise different organic and electronic sounds that are able to co-exist in harmony.
After Prince passed away in April 2016, LEGOVE decided to pay homage to the artist by covering "17 Days" from the single When Doves Cry. It's one of Prince's less widely-known but still highly-appreciated B-sides. It started off as an instrumental, but when he asked his young singer girlfriend Jarlentji, also from Enschede, to do the vocals, the result was outstanding. Any cover of Prince's work has got to be a challenge, but Lewing rose to the occasion. While the track is highly respectful of the original throughout the process, Lewing still managed to innovate: adding unique details, unexpected changes, never losing sight of his signature sound.
The most recent project LEGOVE shared online is his own interpretation of the intro theme for the new Street Fighter videogame, employing the same visuals on top of his creation. I honestly thinks it works really well! (Sony, I hope you're paying attention!)
After revisiting all of his music, I can't help but wonder why he's still an unsigned artist. His sound would fit perfectly with a forward-thinking label like Brainfeeder, and would work just as well for sci-fi movies or videogames. Perhaps it just hasn't reached the right ears yet.
LEGOVE is working on a new EP at the moment. Do follow this talented individual on his channels and stay up to date with his future endeavors, because I believe he is going to blow our minds for many years to come.
LEGOVE's music sometimes reminds me of the honesty and raw attitude of people like Miles Davis and Fela Kuti, so I would like to leave you with the following words by the latter.
"Music is a spiritual thing. You don't play with music... See, because when the higher forces give you the gift of music... musicianship, it must be well used for the good of humanity. If you use it for your own self by deceiving people, you will die young."

Three straight bases-loaded runs batted in keyed a four-run third inning and Beth Overman's two-run single highlighted a five-run fifth inning as University of Mount Olive salvaged a split with a 9-2 victory over Limestone in game two of a Conference Carolinas softball doubleheader Monday at Gaffney, S.C. Madison Johnston scattered seven hits for the complete game win.
The Trojans fell to the Saints 3-0 in game one, despite Carly White and Johnston combining on a six-hitter. Limestone scored single runs in the second, third and fourth innings.
Mount Olive (14-22 overall, 2-4 Conference Carolinas) allowed a run in the bottom of the second, but Johnston (7-7) prevented further damage with an inning-ending strikeout with the bases loaded. Johnston struck out three and walked one.
Savannah Becker and Kelsey Akers reached on infield singles to open the top of the third and both runners advanced on Ashleigh Mason's sacrifice. Akers, who doubled to lead off the opener, extended her hitting streak to 10.
After Overman walked to load the bases, Katie Moore drew a walk to bring Becker in with the tying run. Caitlin Ewers followed with a single to right to drive in Akers and put Mount Olive ahead to stay. Kalie Smith, who ranks eighth in the nation in most times hit by a pitch, was plunked for the 15th time this season as Overman scored. After a force out at the plate for the second out of the inning, an error brought home another run and the Trojans led 4-1.
The Trojans broke the game open in the fifth as Ewers' one-out single and Smith's double triggered the scoring outburst. Erin Brogan's fielder's choice sandwiched in between rbi-singles by Jennifer Jones and Akers extended Mount Olive's lead to 7-1. The Trojans loaded the bases and Overman's single to center brought in the final two runs of the inning.
Limestone (21-15, 6-4) added a run in the bottom of the fifth.
Ewers went 3-for-3 for the Trojans, while Jones had her third consecutive two-hit game.
In the opener, Mount Olive had a runner on base in every inning except for the third, but the Trojans could not push a run across the plate. The Trojans' best opportunity came in the top of the second when Ewers singled, pinch-runner Megan Ready stole second and went to third on Jones' ground ball through the right side. But Limestone right fielder Alycia Stiles' throw turned a single into a 9-3 groundout and the Saints got out of the inning unscathed. Only one Trojan runner made it past first base the remainder of the game.
Mount Olive is idle until this weekend when the Trojans head west for a pair of Conference Carolinas doubleheaders. The Trojans go to Banner Elk, N.C., Saturday to face Lees-McRae, then go to Bristol, Tenn., Sunday to take on King.

ONE WAVE of Time every 13 days
is just-like the musical scale OCTAVE.
Here is: The Musical Code to Time:
G# is the "God tone" that begins and ends the octave.
Connect with the Universal Heart LOVE and be drawn in.
Create The 3 Tone Galactic Signal....C# F# F#...with both F# as lower tones.
Here is an online keyboard to hear this - click HERE
C# F# F#...pause...C# F# F#...pause....C# F# F#...continously
The Maya use clay flutes. Also, intoned silently within.
Once connected to the Galactic Heartbeat, the love works as a 'tractor beam' to tap one in.
A way to visualize the 13 days, or any 13 unit Mayan cycle, are as an "energy field" and map it on a 3-D vortex donut shape.
Vortex energy flow field "donut" diagram, for educational use.
The very center of the donut is the 13/1 transition point that rises up, curls out and down to the outside of the donut path to 7, then curls down then back up thru the center to the 13/1 transition point.
This explains how the energy field "reverses" as the path transits from and into the center area.

ADVANCED Basics For knowledge: modern science meets the ancient Mayan calendar... Go Beyond the Basics.
Quick Start Here For a Mayan calendar over-view using modern clinically proven "Levels of Consciousness" research.
For WHAT'S NEW on the scroll-down calendar:
A small red symbol ^ highlights the mid-point of Weekday 7 in every 13-day mayan Week.
The new column: MOON, to the right of the January-December Gregorian calendar date column on the left-side.
For the Moon at the Perigee point: the Moon's orbit is at its closest point to Earth; the Moon appears larger; creates more stress.
For the Moon at the Apogee point: the Moon's orbit is at its farthest away point from Earth; the Moon appears smaller; creates less stress.
Around the Perigee point: plants branch-up to leaf-out; the combined magnetic-and-gravitational-forces of the earth-moon-and-sun as they move closer-together increases-pressure forcing-expansion.
For example: When squeezing the middle-of-a-balloon, the balloon expands opposite-the-squeeze-point; or when two-bar-magnets with the-same-positive-sides-or-negative-sides-facing-each-other are forced-together it creates a strong-RESISTANCE and ENERGY-rebalancing, which precipitates the-stronger-force-fields energy and stress the closer-the-magnets-are.
Around the Apogee point: plants withdraw their energy inward to the roots; the combined magnetic-gravitational forces of the earth-moon-and-sun subside, move apart, and decrease the pressure and stress.
For the Moon at ascending North node point: the Moon's orbit transits the equator of Earth, from the South to the North.
For the Moon at descending South node point: the Moon orbit transits the equator of Earth, from the North to the South.
For gardening applications, according to proven and ancient bio-dynamic gardening practices, the times of these four-Moon-positions signify a void and suggest a ceasation of all gardening activity.
For these no gardening periods:
~12-hours plus or minus either side of the exact time of Perigee and Apogee.
~6-hours plus or minus either side of the exact time of South node and North node transits.

The Mayan calendar has Four Seasons of 65-days.
65 days x 4 = 260-days
Serpent chikchan

The four Seasons overlap and weave together consecutive 260-day cycles,
constantly refining dense matters into light souls.
Four, All Dance as One.
This calendar and map outlines the four-Season cycle:
the lower scene is time-of-access to the Underworld; the upper scene is time-of-access to the Heavens;
and the right and left scenes both are time-of-access between both the Heavens and the Underworld.
For the Day # numbers for ceremonies at the top-level of a Mayan temple:
1, 39, 40, 65, 66, 104, 105, 130, 131, 169, 170, 195, 196, 234, 235, 260
The "candle flame" points to Mayan "Day Keepers Day" on the top row of dots marking SEED Week-12.
Mayan Day Keepers Day is celebrated in villages and towns with all-day festivals and ceremonies honoring newly initiated students who have learned to keep the correct 'count of days' on the Mayan calendar. As the name implies, "Day Keepers" keep the count of the days.
When I first saw this Mayan calendar codex puzzle, it reminded me of being a child playing a board game called Chutes & Ladders, where one moves the game piece forward or backward by rolls of a dice, sometimes unexpectedly upwards by ladders or downwards by chutes, all while racing to be first to the top.
Shadow Twin - Evening Star Returned to Western Night Sky in October 2019
Many cultures around the world notice and record the rising and setting patterns of the brightest light in the evening and early morning skies the planet named-in-English: "Venus."
The Olmec and Maya cultures of Mexico and the Guatemala highlands in Central America may have been the first to create a 260-day Venus calendar, recognized today as the most accurate calendar in the world.
In Maya lore, Venus, the bright light traveling the sky, is recognised as the "Two Brothers": the Feathered Serpent and his Shadow Twin brother.
The planet Venus rises in the East, in the early pre-dawn sky as the Morning Star or "Feathered Serpent" and is the third brightest- light in the sky after our Sun and Moon.
Venus shines bright in the early morning pre-dawn Eastern skies as the Morning Star for 236-days or approximately 8-months.
The Feathered Serpent days are days of of: peace, rebirth, rebuilding and common unity.
After 236-days as the Feathered Serpent/Morning Star Venus disappears from the skies for 90-days, slowly spinning away, farther and farther from Earth, hidden away from view behind the Sun.
After 90-days hidden behind the Sun, Venus is seen rising again after sunset in the West evening-sky.
There in the western skies Venus shines as the Evening Star or "Shadow Twin" for 250-days.
The Shadow Twin days are days of: ceremonial challenges and ceremonial conflict theater, or, if not dealt with in a high spiritual energy of integrity, real war and unexpected challenges, forced changes that break-up old patterns.
Venus as the Evening Star becomes brighter and brighter as it moves towards Earth, closer and closer on its nearest approach to Earth every 1.6-years.
Then, just as Venus is at its brightest right after sunset, it disappears for 8-days. In Maya lore, the "Shadow Twin" has died.
For 8-days Venus moves across the front face of the Sun, hidden by the glare of the Sun, and directly between the Sun and the Earth. It's at these moments, every ~19 months, when our nearest neighbor planet Venus passes close-by to Earth.
This exact planetary alignment "inferior conjunction" of Earth-Venus-Sun next occurs on June 3, 2020.
After 8-days hidden, Venus reappears, reborn at dawn at the side of the Sun, at sunrise in the East dawn sky.
In its new phase as the Morning Star, the Mayan "Feathered Serpent" is the brightest light before dawn for the next 236-days.
The Morning Star/Feathered Serpent days of peace, rebirth, rebuilding and common unity return. The Tides of Time.
When Venus is approaching Earth as the Evening Star: the combined magnetic & gravitational forces of the Earth and Venus, as they move closer together, increases pressure and stress.
For example: when two bar magnets, with the same positive-sides or negative-sides facing each other, are forced together this creates a strong RESISTANCE & ENERGY re-balancing, which precipitates the stronger force-fields energy & stress the closer the magnets are.
When Venus becomes the Morning Star: the combined magnetic & gravitational forces of the Earth and Venus: decrease, subside, move apart, and reduces overall pressure and stress.
These rising and setting patterns of the planet Venus are repeated on-average every 584.92-days, that's about every ~19-months.
These Venus 'fly-by' patterns repeat exactly five-times every 8-years, during five different months of the year.
Let's examine this 8-year pulse, this 8-year rhythm of Venus.
It is a VERY important rhythm. Indeed, it is a hythm that connects to the musical scale, a truly sacred rhythm pattern that holds the key to understanding the musical encoding of time in our solar system.
If we could super speed-up time and watch the orbits of the planets around our Sun from high above our solar system, we would see that over every 8-year-cycle of time Venus exactly aligns between the Sun and the Earth 5-times, creating a spiraling 5-pointed star pattern around the Sun.
A five-pointed star pattern is exactly the same kind of pattern design detected within the double-helix spiral blueprints of genetic DNA, in the cells of all living creatures on Earth.
The organs of the body are spaced a certain distance from the brain, and in the same way the 'organs' of our solar system, the Planets, are spaced a certain distance from the Sun.
The key to the accuracy of the Maya calendar is that its based upon the exact rising and setting-dates of the planet-Venus, as was recorded within the ancient Mayan painted-paper sacred books; for Venus orbit creates a five-pointed star pattern orbit around our Sun.
Mayan astronomers recorded the exact Mayan dates Venus appears-and-disappears in the sky over 8-year cycles of time. Many pages of calculations for Venus are matched with the Mayan daysign Ajaw or Ahau (LORD or SUN) as documented in the Mayan records.
The Mayan daysign representing the planet Venus are drawn next to the Mayan calendar day: Ajaw or LORD.
So, Mayan calendar accuracy Rule #1 is: Every 8-years the first sighting of Venus rising in the eastern dawn sky occurs on Mayan day: Ajaw LORD.
The most recent major date in the 8-year cycle for Venus rising as the Feathered Serpent and Morning- Star:
~October 31, 2018 12 LORD ajaw - day #220
This website is a spiritual gift to the world and is a personal presentation of how to use a Mayan Calendar, containing the
most recent material gathered from talks, classes, lectures and books of researcher Richard Alan Eagle.
A respected Mayan-calendar specialist for 30 years, Richard is the most highly regarded student of
the late DR. JOSÉ ARGÙELLES - The Mayan Factor: Path Beyond Technology.
All Mayan dates on this website are from the exact accurate Guatemala high-lands Mayan calendar "count of days."
Those familar with the research of DR. ARGÙELLES will find here a few differences in some of
the symbol names and the four-color order use (yellow > red > white > blue), which are all easy to learn HERE.
The biggest difference is DR. ARGÙELLES used the Yucatan low-lands Mayan calendar count of days;
but Richard realized, and all scholars agree, the calendar of the Yucatan low-land Maya is miscounted by 57 days, as of 2019.
The Yucatan low-lands Mayan calendar miscount began hundreds of years ago and
is no longer aligned with the rising and setting cycles of the planet Venus.
This split can be traced back into the 1500's with the arrival of the "divide & conquor" Spanish Catholic Jesiuts in 1519 with Cortez.
For PROOF see today's date at the Smithsonian National Museum Of The American Indian website - click HERE.
Time to switch-over to using the Guatemala high-lands calendar, so get used to it.
It was a challenge to "make the switch" at first, but Richard did in 1997.
Richard designed and created handout charts combined with a 12 month January-December Gregorian calendar in 1989 for his first Mayan Calendar Guidebook edition, to help teach his first Mayan calendar workshop in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
In 1991, Willard van de Bogart, a close friend of the-late DR. JOSÉ ARGÙELLES, tells Richard that José confided in him, saying, "José said to me, that, of all the people he knew, besides his wife Lloydine, that you have the best understanding of his Mayan calendar research'." Willard presented to Richard one of the first pre-production DREAMSPEL kits, along with a hand-written note from José with the words, "Keep up the good work." In 1993 Richard met José and Lloydine in Sedona, Arizona.
For the 1996 edition of The Mayan Calendar Guidebook 4,000+copies sold around the world and had media coverage by the TV-show Strange Universe on Canadian television.
Read The Mayan Calendar Guidebook review in 1996 by:
New Age Retailer magazine July/August 1996, pp.44-45:
"This excellent book is a thorough teaching reference that is also easy to understand. The Mayan Calendar Guidebook presents the what, why, and how of tracking the energies and other information presented on the calendars…This reference book should become part of your regular inventory. Customers who are just learning to use a Mayan calendar will find it answers most of their questions and prepares them to be able to use any current Mayan calendar more effectively."
In 1998 science genius and inventor Dr. Patrick Flanagan called his research, "A masterpiece."

• Cloves from 1 head garlic
• 4 ribs celery, roughly chopped, including leaves (prepped Saturday)
• 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or rice vinegar (helps extract minerals from bones)
• 2 tablespoons peppercorns
• 2 bay leaves
• Several sprigs thyme, or 2 tablespoons dried thyme
1. If using a crockpot, add all ingredients plus enough cold water to cover everything and set it to cook on the lowest/slowest setting. If using a stockpot, add all ingredients plus water, bring to a simmer and allow to bubble away on low heat for several hours—the longer, the better.
2. Skim fat and impurities from the top of the pot every now and then while cooking. Pour everything through a strainer and discard solids. Refrigerate or freeze stock.

The first initiative involves new efforts to aggressively prosecute those who violate probation and includes a policy of recommending that serious offenders be held without bond pending their hearing. Those who violate the terms and conditions of their probation pose an unacceptable risk to public safety which justifies swift and sure sanctions for their misconduct.
In addition, new "get tough" measures are being applied against those who have been convicted of attempting to elude peace officers. Noting an alarming increase in the number of offenders who engage in high-speed chases with the police, Linn County Attorney Jerry Vander Sanden drafted and adopted new strategies and uniform procedures to ensure that the most serious charge supported by the evidence is filed and that offenders receive a just sentence for their offense.

Rutgers defense leaks, offense lacks in blowout losses
Sporting a 1-6 record through its first two weekends back on the baseball diamond, the Rutgers baseball team knew it was up against a tall task.
Going up against the No. 24 team in the country for a three-game series at Florida Atlantic, the Scarlet Knights looked to build off of some recent momentum.
Rutgers earned its first win of the young season after stealing the finale of its three-game tilt in Myrtle Beach versus Old Dominion, in a 13-9 slugfest.
Despite a bit of a plot twist thrown in their plans after their home opener against Fairleigh Dickinson was canceled due to inclement weather, the Knights set their sights on progression as they went head-on into battle against a top-25 program from the south.
But things didn't go as planned.
The Knights (1-9) were swept right out of Boca Raton, losing by a combined score of 40-12 in three games. The lineup failed to support the effort of its starting pitchers, prolonging a problem that has plagued the team in the early going of its 2015 campaign. The Owls also outhit Rutgers, 42-20.
After dropping the first two games of the series, sophomore right-hander Kyle Driscoll took the mound on Sunday looking to stop the bleeding and carry his team back into the win column.
That didn't happen.
Instead, the 6-foot-6 flamethrower was knocked around FAU Baseball Stadium. He lasted only two innings before giving way to the bullpen, tagged for seven earned runs on eight hits.
Florida Atlantic (14-2) slugged 18 hits on the afternoon on its way to a 12-4 win to complete the sweep. Sophomore outfielder Tom Marcincyzk and junior outfielder Vinny Zarillo paced the Knights at the plate in the middle of the order, combining to go 4-for-7 with one run and one RBI.
That result came two days after the Owls set a program record with 18 runs in an 18-5 beatdown to set the tone for the weekend.
In that series opener, junior left-hander Howie Brey didn't make it past the third inning. The ace of the Rutgers pitching staff struggled with his command, walking four and striking out two. Florida Atlantic scattered six hits to notch nine runs.
Head coach Joe Litterio's call to the bullpen yielded little help.
Sophomore Kevin Baxter entered to relieve Brey in the fourth, but failed to record a single out. The Owls continued their offensive assault, shelling the Knights' right-hander for four runs on two hits.
Baxter didn't exactly help himself by opening up the inning with back-to-back walks — and Florida Atlantic made it hurt. The Owls cashed in on a gift with runners on first and second and no outs to begin the inning, ripping four consecutive hits before Rutgers retreated to its bullpen again.
On Saturday, the trend continued. Despite a bulldog effort by junior right-hander Mark McCoy to battle his way through the opening five and two-thirds innings of the ballgame, the Knights couldn't follow up with support.
McCoy yielded three earned runs on seven hits, fanning three and walking three to keep Rutgers in it down just 4-1 heading into the bottom of the sixth, but Florida Atlantic broke out.
Sophomore left-hander Maxx Hermann got the Knights out of the jam during his relief appearance in the sixth, but walked his way right into one when he came back out for the seventh. He couldn't record an out, ending the day with two walks and one strikeout as the Owls went on to break the game open in a six-run inning.
Four out of the five runs surrendered by Hermann were earned.
Despite the struggles from the mound, the Knights failed to put up much of a fight at the plate. They have hit a combined team batting average of .213 on the season to this point while averaging fewer than seven hits per game.
Prior to the series, Litterio said Rutgers needed to continue to support their starting pitchers, but knew Florida Atlantic would be a tough team to play.
With a poor outing against the Owls, the Knights will look to rebound against Iona in its first midweek game of the season home at Bainton Field. Rutgers split the season series against the Gaels last season, winning its home game, 7-5.

In 1989 Steve Lukather stepped outside the confines of Toto to release his debut solo album. And in this solo effort Lukather received a little help from his friends... Eddie Van Halen (co-writing and playing bass on the album's opener Twist the Knife), Richard Marx (contributing background vocals on a couple of tracks), Steve Stevens (contributing a scorching guitar solo on the epic Fall Into Velvet), Jan Hammer (contributing a synthesized "guitar" solo on Fall Into Velvet), and even Toto bandmates David Paich and Jeff Porcaro contributed their talents to this freshman effort.
Opening with a throwaway Van Halen track (from either the 5150 or OU812 sessions), Twist the Knife the album scorches from the first chords Lukather plays on his guitar. This song was originally recorded, with completely different lyrics and a different title (I Want Action).
The next track, Swear Your Love features very audible background vocals from Richard Marx a moderately interesting but imminently forgettable hook.
The strongest track, indeed the reason to own this album is Fall Into Velvet featuring guitar solos by Steve Lukather and Steve Stevens and a scorching keyboard solo by Jan Hammer (of Miami Vice Theme fame). Clocking in at over 9 minutes and complemented by the soulful background vocals by Cindy Mizelle Lukather takes this track to its absolute limits and really stretches out.
Some of the other stand-out tracks include the pop-friendly Lonely Beat of My Heart (co-penned by Lukather with Diane Warren) and With a Second Chance- either of which could have been successful singles within the context of the late eighties pop scene.
Lukather's lone ballad, Turns to Stone, is pleasant enough but imminently forgettable. It lacks that something special that made some of Lukather's Toto ballads like and I Won't Hold You Back and I'll Be Over You so consistently enjoyable.
All in all, it's a solid but mediocre effort. Lukather's subsequent solo albums would show substantial improvement over this debut release.

In this post allspirituals is going to discover how truth becomes lie. Truth is reality and reality is what happens before you. Even truth for some may seem to be a lie to another . If you can feel God or see him then it's truth for you but for someone else you might be a liar and your truth now takes the form of a lie. Words are what binding us together . These are what helps us in defining every aspect of life. These symbols are what have developed us to the present stage . But that doesn't mean that symbols always empower us. They might be fatal in one way or another. For example the politics and religion organization like ISIS has tend misinterpret the holy words and they have destroyed the meaning of religion. Also, words are not truth at all. As per Krshnamurthy , truth can never be repeated. He was right in every aspect towards defining truth . Truth can never be repeated but now you might be wondering that you people are hearing the truth every day. But the fact is you are not hearing truth you are just hearing the words. Words can be repeated not the truth. Truth doesn't have multiple meanings. Even in holy books there are words that are being brought to us . Truth is now a day's lost in between words. Now you might be confused . Let me demonstrate with an example . Quran is a holy book and it has enlightened many souls in the past . But some religious leader have misinterpreted the words and this lead to the formation of ISIS. So that signifies that words can be modified but not the truth.
So how can we interpret whether the orator is giving you the truth or not. You cannot ensure the truth completely as you are not encountering the events directly . But by carefully listening to him you can get to the truth . You might be now thinking that listening what you do every day . But my point is your listening is biased. For Example : let's talk about a 'knife' . Person A might be thinking that it is used for cutting vegetable and person B will be thinking that it is used for murdering. Listening should be unbiased . As soon as I say 'knife' you mustn't form mental picture of my attitude in your mind. You should form mental image only after completion of mu sentences. It might seem an easy task but try it yourself . Just listen to anybody without forming any mental picture. The day you stopped being a biased listener , you will notice that your wisdom will be enhanced to a great level and you will be able to differentiate between truth and lie.

Wanz hello,
The first message means a public IP address (could be from any one of various registries) is trying to send a packet to a private IP address in your organization, in port 25 (SMTP). This does not necessarily indicate a DOS attack, and if the firewall is blocking the packet then it's OK.
The second message means a public IP address is trying to send a packet to another public IP address, in port 135. Microsoft's DCOM (Distributed, i.e. networked, COM) Service Control Manager (also known as the RPC Endpoint Mapper) uses this port in a manner similar to SUN's UNIX use of port 111. The SCM server running on the user's computer opens port 135 and listens for incoming requests from clients wishing to locate the ports where DCOM services can be found on that machine. Port 135 is certainly not a port that needs to be, or should be, exposed to the Internet. Hacker tools such as "epdump" (Endpoint Dump) are able to immediately identify every DCOM-related server/service running on the user's hosting computer and match them up with known exploits against those services.
The third message means a private IP address in your organization is trying to send a packet to a public IP address, in port 53 (DNS). This does not necessarily indicate a DOS attack, and can indicate a simple DNS query. I can recommend opening port 53 UDP (for DNS queries) ONLY to the DNS servers you use (internal or external) in your organization.
Hope I helped…

Review of Maleficent, Directed by Robert Stromberg
Angelina Jolie makes Maleficent a movie worth watching. And she doesn't even say very much throughout the film. Her accentuated cheekbones, her cold, creepy stares, the alabaster skin and ruby lips, the careful intonation of each phrase–the whole package keeps you fixated. There is no doubt that without Jolie, Maleficent would not sell, and fortunately both for the studio and for the audiences, the camera stays glued to this complex creature who fulfills in every way the proverb "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
In the vein of Wicked, this revisionist account of the Sleeping Beauty story takes us back to Maleficent's childhood days. There are two kingdoms, that of the humans ruled by a medieval king and all the vices of mankind and that of the moors where magical beings and fairies live in harmony and rule themselves. An apt way to begin a fairytale. Maleficent is one of the strongest fairies and helps protect the moors. One day a young boy named Stefan steals a magic stone from one of the pools and Maleficent confronts him. Thus begins a friendship that morphs into romance, sealed with "true love's first kiss."
As Stefan grows old, he is lured by human greed and grows distant from Maleficent. The king has promised his people that they will take the moors and leads a host into battle only to be rebuffed by Maleficent and ent-like guardians. The king is fatally wounded by Maleficent and promises to give the crown to whomever can avenge him. Ambitious Stefan calls on Maleficent in the moors and they spend a pleasant afternoon together. But this afternoon ends with Stefan tricking Maleficent into drinking a potion that puts her to sleep. Unable to bring himself to kill her, he brutally removes her wings.
In perhaps what is the most gut-wrenching scene in Disney's history, Maleficent wakes up to find her back shed of its large feathered wings, leaving two bloody stumps. Viewers cannot help but carry this tragedy of love betrayed through the rest of the movie. We see the tectonic shift in Maleficent's character as she is consumed by her hatred and sorrow as well as the beginning of the Sleeping Beauty tale we know so well. She dons black robes and conjures classic green fire from the original animation picture. Maleficent summons thorny branches from the ground to hedge the moors from human incursion.
The continued parallels and allusions add to the rich fairytale fabric. To deride the false kiss of Stefan, Maleficent conditions Aurora's curse on "true love's kiss." Stefan responds to the massive thorny vines that surround the moors with his own iron thorns around his castle (iron is poisonous to fairies). The eye-for-an-eye mentality is deeply embedded in the story, but so is the shift to forgiveness as the dominant theme. The triumph of love over hate is palpable.Jolie again carries the movie with her stunning ability to convincingly portray a transformation from heroine to villain to contrition. As in Sleeping Beauty, Aurora is whisked away into the woods under the bumbling care of three fairies who know nothing of child-raising, leaving it to Maleficent to begrudgingly help keep her out of harms way. The foreboding Maleficent of lore turns into a fairy godmother and her stone heart beats again. She seeks to revoke the curse and so she must find true love to give Aurora the kiss required to break the spell.
Film critics have already begun registering their complaints about Maleficent, whether it be a mediocre music score or overcrowded scenes with a hodgepodge of magical creatures, too much CGI, and a poor screenplay. These are all true, especially the fact that without Jolie's careful treatment of her limited dialogue, the script would fall flat. At the same time, many are praising the film for taking on feminist issues. Most significantly, the devastating scene of Maleficent awaking from her drugged sleep to find herself disfigured in a deep way echoes the tragedy of date rape drugs and sexual assault. The film also redresses relationships between women. A New York Times review of Maleficent concludes that the movie shows "…that budding girls and older women are not natural foes, even if that's what fairy tales, Hollywood and the world like to tell us."
It's hard not to compare Maleficent to Frozen in that the ending is contrary to the typical princess love story. In Frozen, the "act of true love" is one sister sacrificing herself for the life of the other. In Maleficent, "true love's kiss"–added to the curse because Maleficent doesn't believe true love exists–turns out to be Maleficent's parting kiss, not Philip's. While Frozen's hero is made out to be a decent, worthy guy who's actually in love, Maleficent's Philip is given short shrift. He hardly knows Aurora. And it's true, in many fairy tales, love is defined as a vague, emotional feeling, that oftentimes seems to lack any knowledge of the other beyond "love at first sight." Some view this as a rejection of the patriarchal narrative, whereas I would posit that this new definition of love is perhaps closer to its true meaning. Maleficent is a refreshing antidote to the banality shrouding most popular love stories as love without knowledge.

Mangosteen is a type of fruit that mainly grows in Southeast Asia. Researchers believe that it originated in the Moluccas of Indonesia and Sunda Islands. Mangosteen is also known as Garcinia Mangostana. It has been used in Southeast Asia to treat many illnesses, including urinary tract infections and skin infections.
Mangosteen is very similar to Garcinia Cambogia. Both of these tropical fruits are known for their ability to promote weight loss. Below is an explanation of how mangosteen can help promote weight loss:
High In Fiber
Both Garcinia Cambogia and mangosteen are very high in fiber. There are several ways fiber promotes weight loss. It acts as a sponge by absorbing sugars, carbohydrate, and fats. It can also absorb the calories from the food that you eat.
Fiber also helps keep you full for a longer period of time. This will help you naturally consume less food. Fiber can help remove waste that has accumulated inside of the digestive tract. Many people have trouble losing weight because they have waste impacted inside of their intestines.
Furthermore, many studies suggest that you can lose weight just by increasing your fiber intake. There was a study done by the United States Department of Agriculture's Human Research Center that showed the average woman who increases her fiber intake from 12 to 24 grams per day can lose 9.4 pounds in just one year.
Natural Energy Booster
Exercise will make it a lot easier for you to reach your weight loss goals. However, many people feel fatigued all of the time, and this makes it harder for them to exercise. Both mangosteen and Garcinia Cambogia help boost your energy. This may make it easier for you to complete your daily workouts.
Interferes With Fat Formation And Storage
Both Garcinia Cambogia and mangosteen can interfere with fat formation and storage. These supplements encourage your body to use more fat as an energy source. They also encourage the body to excrete more fat instead of storing it.
Boost Metabolism
Weight loss is a lot more complicated than many people realize. There is a lot more to it than calories in, calories out. Some people are able to lose weight simply by reducing their calorie intake and increasing their exercise. However, other people are required to put in a little bit more work because their metabolisms are slower.
People who take mangosteen will most likely have an easier time losing weight. It helps increase metabolism. When you have a faster metabolism, you will be able to burn more calories when you are at rest. Garcinia cambogia also helps increase metabolism.
Boost Mood
Some people suffer from depression, and this makes it harder for them to lose weight. Studies have shown that a deficiency in the B vitamins can increase the risk of depression. Mangosteen is an excellent source of the B vitamins, so it can help boost mood.
The B vitamins also help stimulate the production of serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood. Garcinia cambogia can also help boost the production of serotonin.

I had "virgin hair" most of my life. ("Virgin hair" is what stylists call hair that has never been colored or chemically-treated.) Then, at 26, I decided to see if blondes really do have more fun and allowed the talented Emilee Coyle, now at Studio Platinum on Merritt Island, to give me a summer hair transformation. I have since gone from blonde, to blonder, to blondest, most recently under the careful care of Erin at IGK Miami.
I am addicted to being blonde. I look at pictures of myself as a brunette and, while my hair looks healthier—glossier, non-frizzy—the brown tresses don't suit me as well as the blonde ones. I don't look like me. So, I keep coloring it even as I watch its texture change, becoming progressively more dull and frayed from the chemicals as the conditioning treatment washes away from my hair in the weeks after my salon visits.
My mom was the one who made me realize how unhealthy my hair has started to look. Concerned that my hair was a warning sign of poor nutrition, she called an emergency mother-daughter meeting where she brought up her concerns. I quickly reassured her the state of my coif was a consequence of missing salon visits, not meals, and made a mental note to book an appointment with Erin immediately.
Erin's expertise comes at a hefty—albeit, well-worth—price tag so I can't always default to paying her a visit when my hair needs it. So, I have started relying on a three-tiered approach that is affordable and I can do at home to keep my summer hair healthy between visits:
1. Monthly: Hair masks for moisture
At least once a month, ideally every other week, I lather on a hair mask when I get out of the shower, braid my hair, watch an episode of The Americans, then rinse or wash it off. I love Palmer's Deep Conditioning Coconut Oil Formula and, when I'm feeling fancy, the Kérastase Résistance Masque Therapiste. They help my hair against dryness.
2. Weekly: Hair oils for shine
I blow-dry my hair—yes, I finally learned how—once a week. When I do, I help it look soft and silky with hair oils, specifically Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture's Brassica Seed Oil and Kérastase's Elixir Ultime Versatile Beautifying Oil. They both do the trick aesthetically-speaking, but I'm partial to the brassica seed oil because of its cotton candy-like scent.
3. Daily: Thickening shampoo for damage repair
Color-treated hair requires special shampoo to maintain its integrity. I have found shampoos that make my color last, but none of them seem to have done much to repair color damage. That's why I alternate them with Renpure Professional's Coconut Bamboo Thickening Shampoo. It helps with damage repair and I love that it is made from all-natural ingredients—a bonus considering the chemicals needed to keep my beautiful blonde locks.

Printing Telegraphic Dispatches. -- The Western Union Telegraph Company is now putting in a new patent telegraph printing machine on the Chicago line and hereafter dispatches transmitted over this line will be printed as they are received at the office in this city. The machine is furnished with keys similar to a piano, each key representing a letter in the alphabet, and by a peculiar mechanical arrangement each letter is printed as it is received at the office. Thus all mistakes arising from blind chirography will be thoroughly appreciated by our citizens. The machine will be put into operation this afternoon. -- Milwaukee Daily Sentinel, Vol.24, No.232 (October 9, 1867), p.1, l.4.
On the days around in 1867 Mr. Christopher Latham Sholes often visited the office of the Western Union Telegraph Company in Milwaukee (cf. Chas. E. Weller: The Early History of the Typewriter, La Porte (1921)). He saw the Hughes-Phelps printing telegraph there. Its keyboard looked like a piano, arranging A to N left to right and O to Z right to left (shown right, taken from U. S. Patent No.26003). Mr. Sholes adopted a piano-like keyboard in his Type-Writing Machine, in which he could place but twenty-one keys (U. S. Patent No.79265) and later twenty-eight keys (cf. "Writing by Machinery", Milwaukee Daily Sentinel, Vol.26, No.236 (October 6, 1869), p.1, l.4). He changed the keys into button-like ones in April of 1870 (cf. Chas. E. Weller: The Early History of the Typewriter, La Porte (1921)) when he invented a new Type-Writer with a four-row keyboard, in which each row consisted of ten or eleven keys (U. S. Patent No.182511 but it has only three rows). In his new model Mr. Sholes moved vowels to the upper row of the keyboard in order to put the twenty-six letters in ten columns (shown below, taken from Koichi Yasuoka: "QWERTY Revisited", Journal of Information Processing and Management, Vol.48, No.2 (May 2005), pp.115-118). This is the origin of QWERTY.
