Which set of conditions represents the easiest way to liquify a gas?
(1) Low temperature and high pressure
(2) High temperature and low pressure
(3) Low temperature and low pressure
(4) High temperature and high pressure
Answer: (1) Low temperature and high-pressure set of conditions represent the easiest way to liquefy a gas. Liquefaction of gases is a physical conversion of a gas into a liquid state (condensation). The processes are used for scientific, industrial and commercial purposes. Many gases can be put into a liquid state at normal atmospheric pressure by simple cooling; a few, such as carbon dioxide, require pressurization as well. Liquefaction is used for analyzing the fundamental properties of gas molecules (intermolecular forces), for the storage of gases. The liquefaction of gases is a complicated process that uses various compressions and expansions to achieve high pressures and very low temperatures, using, for example, turbo-expanders.

Rural Carrier Yulia Indrawati was recently delivering a package to a row house in Medford, NJ, when she spotted smoke pouring out from underneath the front door.
Indrawati also saw flames through a window, so she immediately called 911, then knocked on doors of several adjacent homes to ensure that residents and pets were out of danger.
Firefighters soon arrived on the scene.
One of the neighbors later contacted the local Post Office to praise Indrawati for saving lives and preventing extensive damage on the block.
"We not only serve but also look out for and protect our customers," said Medford Postmaster Jaswinder Pujji.

by Axel Ttillmann
Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Science columnist for the LA Tribune
The current election as seen in the Vice Presidential Debate between Senator Harris and Vice President Pence brought up several controversial topics. Among those topics was again to no surprise climate change.
The subject matter of climate change is a very difficult subject matter to understand and very often statements are made, and it is difficult for the general public to understand what is actually right or what is wrong. Therefore, we need to take a very close look.
Let's start out with some obvious statements from Senator Harris. She stated that we have an unprecedented global climate change that led to the highest temperatures in California as well as an unprecedented hurricane season in the United States. Those statements cannot be left alone and need to be cross validated. 1913 was the highest temperature wave in California leading even to temperatures of 134°F in Death Valley1, higher than the recently reported 130°F that LA Times falsely reported as the highest recorded temperature2. Other years such as 1901 is recorded heat waves in the Eastern United States, or 2006 in Norther United States.
Neither was 2020 the year of the strongest hurricanes (which was 1935), nor the year of the highest occurrences of hurricanes (which was 1933).3
Let's now focus on the much larger scale "The Global Climate Change theories". They started initially as a Global Warming movement and when scientists started disagreeing on the subject matter the topic was changed from global warming to global climate change, which is much harder to argue.
I want to make clear upfront that this article does not promote doing the wrong thing to our environment or misusing our resources but wants to present a perspective on whether or not we can prove there is any form of climate change happening and analyzes what if any we should do about it.
Therefore let's take a look what the influential factors of our climate are. One thing is absolutely for sure that any activity at the sun level has a tremendous impact on the climate of our planet but there are also a plethora of factors that actually control how our climate is operating. At the minimum the factors influencing our climate probably in the hundreds if not thousands. In mathematical terms we will call these factors is parameters or variables.
All politicians and pseudo scientists often take certain factors in the most primitive way – temperature over time in correlation for example to the Ozone layer. Then they make the general public belief that there is a direct correlation between the three factor. However climate is a system with several hundred factors that are influential. It is not just one or two factors. In the field of science we call this a "Chaos System".
By definition, a chaos system cannot be mathematically modeled. A pretty good example of this is unpredictability (even up to the day of landfall) of a hurricane. The more days out the lesser the precision of the prediction of the move of a hurricane. With 5 days out the location error is in a range of 350 mi and with 1 day out still 100 mi. And you would think that with 100 plus years going into the science of weather we would at least have a model that gives us a high degree of predictability, for subset of the weather the hurricane movement.
In order to understand the difficulty, we have to unfortunately go a little bit more mathematics. In mathematics a correlation between two parameters this is known as linear correlation, an example of this is Y=aX+b . With a=2 and b=0 this means if X=1 then Y=2 and X=3 then Y=6. Now the next level up is when we deal with three variables (Y=aX2+bx+c), a so-called quadratic correlation. Quadratic correlations three datasets to be solved. The next level up, cubic coalitions (y=ax3+bx2+cx+d) requires 4 datasets to be mathematic resolved. The method is often referred to polynomial regression when you only have data and need to figure out the function to be used. But once you go to Tessera regressions or beyond, it doesn't matter how many data points you have but you can't give an unambiguous result. At best have two possible answers so you can no longer say with certainty which is the correct answer A or B.
If we take a step back and look at the fact that we are dealing with hundreds of variables such as the chaos system of our weather or our the entire influences of our solar system, we quickly understand that we are at a loss and cannot mode. This means we cannot make any statement about any particular movement of temperature, hurricanes, or anything such as Climate Change and its progression in time. And if we can't model, we can't verify whether we see a deviation of standard behavior by the existing occurrences.
The other fact, that many people do not know or don't present, is that the earth, since inception, has undergone cycles of approximately 100,000 years in length what that in practice means is that you need to have 2x the datasets in order to even have a chance to predicting the outcome a linear correlation. The last ice age (glacial period) started about 100,000 years ago and ended 11,500 years ago. Any assumptions of sediment and other analysis leads some scientist to agree of Global Warming "Theory". Everywhere you look in literature anything regarding complex climate is referred to "Theory". Theory is the opposite of knowledge, and even US history is full of unbaked theories in the field of science, leading to wrong advice and were at a later stage reversed.
But I will entertain for a moment that we have Global Warming – of pardon me Global Climate Change.
Question #1, how much is men influenced or is the main trend a natural occurrence?
Question #2, If we throw an unlimited amount of money at this problem can we change anything?
Question #3, if we don't do anything what are the consequences?
Question #4, Should we do R&D to escape the planet?
Question #5, When are we going to feel the impact?
All answers to the questions impact on how we should view the proposal of the Green New Deal or even more drastic measures. We need to be careful not to fall into the trap to push a globalization agenda which bankrupts the entire world and throws us into a chaos ala Mad Max.
What I object to is that with these tremendous unknowns and the subject matter is used a the Sword of Damocles as a political weapon to manipulate governments and its citizens to do things that are otherwise unreasonable.
I need to state again, by all means I do not want to encourage doing things with our resources or environment that are wasteful or harmful. As little as you would entertain to water your flowers with vinegar as little should we entertain to be wasteful with our natural resources. Therefore, yes we need to encourage to go to renewable energies but politicians in the past have proven that their commitment is really not executed in the right way.
Instead of subsidizing the alternative industry one should have taxed the conventional energy industry to the level so that it would have become a competitive environment for the renewable energy. This would have put billions of dollars into our tax income instead of taking billions of dollars by subsidizing an industry. Subsidies are addictive and eliminate incentives to become more cost efficient in the fear to lose the subsidies. This definitely slows down the innovation cycle instead of accelerating it . If renewable energy, however, would have been self-competing with traditional energy they would have liked to gain more and more market share and they would have obtained this by making their production form more efficient and therefore cheaper in faster timeframes. Think of this as a multi 100-billion-dollar swing in our nations income statement. Technological acceleration for all renewable energies suffered economies of scale.
Same thing is true with the alleged water crisis that is always put in front of us. The reality is there is no water crisis. There is only a financial crisis for access to freshwater because we have not figured out the correct economic model for the salination. There is so much ocean water that the salination is the method of giving us an almost unlimited amount of fresh water and is currently only by 20 to 30% more expensive than our freshwater resources. So what would be more natural than taking the existing fresh water supply and charging a 30% surplus tax and therefore encouraging the de-salination industry to build plants to augment or even become some of our primary sources for fresh water. Once done we don't need water bans. The natural water ban will be based an economic decision. If you own a large property and you want to water – fine – as long as you pay for it please go ahead – and if you don't want to pay for it change your gardening infrastructure. But please don't threaten society with a so called water shortage that in reality was created by politicians that didn't understand how to properly encourage these type of industries. It is ironic that the State of California used to have a de-salination plant North of San Diego. But when the dry spell ended the plant was demounted and sold.
In Summary of this:
We should do everything in our power within economic reason to utilize our natural resources wisely. Second we should not use an unknown threat of "Climate Something" that we cannot prove and burden the economy with actions that have but potentially zero outcome.
Third, understand Theory is synonymous for Religion.
My opinion, The Green New Deal is a dangerous preposition. It will suck valuable resources out of the economy. My deal is proposing the end of subsidies and increase in taxes to find environmentally better solutions. But let's be careful, in countries with high amount of coal burning electric powerplants the carbon emissions are hardly different between electric vehicles and gas driven vehicles. The energy must come from somewhere – oh they forgot to tell you this?

Khalil Kinsey, the only child of founder and owners of the Kinsey Collection Bernard and Shirley Kinsey, was raised in Los Angeles, Calif. where he grew up in a well-established and affluent household.
At a young age Kinsey was well-rounded in adult surroundings and was encouraged to develop his own thought process around professionals.
Kinsey attended predominantly white schools. He was at an advantage being a minority. Through his schoolwork he was able to educate himself and others on black history.
By the age of 18, Kinsey had already traveled around the world and experienced a life filled with unlimited opportunities. Some might even say he embodied the true essence of a "Cosby kid."
At a young age, Kinsey felt he wasn't "black enough."
"I thought I was supposed to be in the streets doing all types of crazy stuff and I did just that, and for every reason I should not be here," he said.
A lot of Kinsey's friends are locked up in jail or dead. He said this opened his eyes to the traps of America.
"It opened my eyes to how America has worked from the beginning, in terms of black lives and how we are perceived, and our life can really be taken at any given time," he said.
Florida A&M University was a familiar place for Kinsey family, as Bernard and Shirley are alumni. By the time Kinsey attended FAMU he found it too easy to be social and didn't focus on school.
Having the Kinsey last name, this brought a lot of attention. He didn't want to deal with everything that surrounded him and wanted to walk away from that shadow.
After walking away from FAMU Kinsey worked with a friend as an entrepreneur at a clothing store at the Tallahassee Mall. At the time he loved where he was with his life.
"Being able to be creative, open a store and being an entrepreneur I loved it. I knew what I was doing and that is what I wanted to do," Kinsey said.
Over the next couple years Kinsey had the opportunity to open more clothing stores, where he found a gig and picked business over school.
Seeing the lifestyle of his parents, Kinsey said he never wanted to work for someone else.
"I never wanted to work for corporate or work for anybody," said Kinsey. "I've always been in the mindset of entrepreneurship."
Kinsey is the chief operating officer for the collection, which involves him doing a little of bit of everything with the collection. He said he enjoys giving the collection his all.
"I'm one hundred and fifty percent with the Kinsey collection. Working with my family has its dynamics. It's challenging at times because the lines are blurred between work and family. The vision I have for the collection is a lot bigger and broader than my parents, because they didn't start this to be a collection like it is," Khalil said. "I think about how much more it can be and how far we can take it with the next generations."
Bernard said working with is wife and son is a joy.
"One of the greatest rewards in life is to be able to work with my wife and son everyday," Bernard said.
Kinsey believes the Kinsey Collection is a contribution to every black community. He plans to keep improving black communities by continuing to share with different schools and conferences the African-American culture, and teaching kids them what they didn't learn in school.

Uncertain and unable to cope with her son's hate, Sun Woo drove off to a nearby place to consult with her former workmate, only to find herself drowning in her own sorrows. Back in Gosan Da Kyung accused Joon Young of hitting her daughter making an uncontrollable avalanche of emotions, revelations, and complications.
Just when you thought that the series had lost its fine intensity, here comes the episode's ending shocker that left Da Kyung gobsmacked by Sun woo's revelation.
Apart from the crazy twist that has unraveled in the last episode of the series. We couldn't take our eyes off Da Kyung's black studded bag. We searched for it and we found out that the bag she's clutching is none other than the Valentino Garavani Rockstud Smooth Calfskin crossbody bag.
The Valentino Garavani Rockstud Crossbody Bag is made from smooth calfskin leather with Platinum-finish studs and hardware and hook closure. Its adjustable and detachable shoulder strap and the detachable studded handle makes the bag easy to carry.

After taking the world by storm in the mid-to-late 90s/early 2000s, the artist known as D'Angelo essentially disappeared from sight, choosing a reclusive lifestyle that featured brushes with addiction and a brush with the law. At the 2012 BET Music Awards show, D'Angelo made his first televised performance in over a decade, and the reaction was as swift as it was excited about having an exceptionally talented artist back on the scene.
Before his appearance on BET, D'Angelo's comeback was being discussed thanks to appearances in Amsterdam, and more recently, at a Bonnaroo jam session with Questlove. However, his appearance on last night's BET Music Awards waas the first time D'Angelo performed for the television in 12 years. Naturally, the performance, which featured D'Angelo singing "Untitled" (How Does It Feel)" and a new song called "Sugar Daddy," has been rebroadcast around the web, and with good reason.
When someone as talented as D'Angelo performs, it's appointment-worthy entertainment:
D'Angelo's performance absolutely blew up on Twitter; so much so, in fact, it's still trending today. For a service filled to the brim with Bielibers and music "fans" who have no idea who Paul McCartney is, seeing such reaction to a "real" artist is somewhat refreshing:
D'angelo voice is still amazing but by the way he looks you can tell he just got out of jail smh
Aside for a second: that following tweet was retweeted over 1000 times, as she was apparently the first one to show such wit… Oh look, people all over the world are nothing but a bunch of copycats:
D'angelo voice is still amazing but by the way he looks you can tell he just got out of jail smh
Sigh. Just enjoy the freaking performance and quit tripping over yourselves fishing for retweets.
D'Angelo's back… on BET: http://t.co/8NYv1Mjl
I'm sorry that I couldn't get the BET Awards with my poor bandwidth, but I heard D'Angelo killed it! *Jumping up and down* YES MY BROTHER!
Nicki Minaj was looking at D'Angelo like "what, real music, I've never experienced this before"
Good to see D'Angelo is back! #realmusic
Absolutely agreed, Brian. If you're wondering where the smooth soul singer has been all this time, as pointed out by Gawker, GQ has an incredibly revealing article that details D'Angelo's path. It's a great read, especially if you're interested about learning more about the man behind the music.

Did you know that physical exercise can improve your hearing? Here is a quick overview of exercises that can help.
Exercise that Improves Your Balance
In many cases, balance disorders and hearing disorders are connected. If your inner ear got damaged by an illness or an injury, you may have problems with vertigo. This can be a source of huge problems.
But in some cases, physical therapy can help with balance issues, especially in children.
Exercise that Improves Your Circulation
Any kind of work-out is good for you. Yoga, jogging and swimming are popular choices for improving your blood flow. They also make your blood richer in oxygen.
But how can better circulation improve your hearing?
Research shows that circulation doesn't directly affect the hearing center in your brain. However, it is very important to the health of your ears. Your middle and inner ear need oxygen-rich blood to be functional, after all.
So, you can protect yourself from long-term hearing damage if you get enough exercise.
A Few Neck Exercises You Should Consider
Experience shows that doing these exercises regularly can help you improve your hearing:
- Slowly press your chin to your chest, then tilt your head back as far as possible.
- Rotate your head in a full circle.
- Keep your shoulders relaxed. First press your right ear to your right shoulder, then your left ear to your left shoulder.
All of these will reduce tension and improve circulation in your neck and your head.
Breathing Exercises
Breathing exercises are a popular choice for reducing stress. They can also improve the oxygen levels in your blood.
Long exhalations have some uses too. After all, they increase the levels of CO2 in your blood. This can have a stimulating effect on your inner ear cells.

Helpful writing habits from Strunk and White
Avoid loose sentences. Keep related words together. And don't write your copy with beer.
We are rerunning the most-viewed articles of 2019. This was one of the top five most-popular writing and editing articles of the year.
"These are tools, not rules," writing coach Roy Peter Clark once said in a lecture to journalists about writing.
That's a helpful approach to take when one is tempted to chafe against William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White's "The Elements of Style."
One can find any number of writers tearing their hair out over the pair's influence. "Strunk and White Suck (But Zinsser Is Excellent)," cries one blogger.
Whether you love it or hate it, "The Elements" can spark helpful habits as long you regard it as a set of recommendations of the right tool to use, rather than a book of Leviticus handed down from on high, to be obeyed lest one risk the wrath of Jehovah.

A documentary highlighting the life and career of Norman Yoshio Mineta premieres on May 20 on PBS (check local listings).
Co-producer and director Dianne Fukami and co-producer Debra Nakatomi made the documentary, "An American Story: Norman Mineta and His Legacy," because he is "an icon among the Asian American community, especially among the Japanese Americans."
Mineta was the first Asian American mayor of a major American city (San Jose, Calif,.), and went on to serve more than 20 years in Congress. He also served in two presidential cabinets (Bill Clinton and George W. Bush).
Fukami and Nakatomi said they tried for more than seven years to persuade Mineta to participate in a documentary. "A modest and humble man, he declined for many years.
But finally, near the end of 2013, he consented. We've been working on the project since 2014."

I've been struck by how many times I've heard people say – "I hate marketing" or "I hate being marketed to." While I've probably said the same thing myself, I feel myself nonetheless getting defensive. It makes me uneasy.
I would argue that what they're really saying is that they hate BAD marketing. They dislike being "marketed/sold to." They really don't like hearing again and again about something they just don't care about. They don't like being spoken down to or being pitched.
But, the very same people LOVE and RAVE ABOUT great customer experiences –
- Finding what they're looking for quickly and easily
- Getting information to inform/justify a purchase
- Getting the right accessories for their purchases
- Learning about new products/services that solve their real problems (i.e. jobs-to-be-done)
- Being happy with products and services they purchase because they're well designed and implemented
- Getting validation for (important) purchasing decisions they've made
What is the common theme? These are each elements of marketing. Great marketing. Great marketing is where content (what/how) meets context (when/where). Great marketing is helpful to customers.
What do you think? What are some examples you've found of great marketing? Of BAD marketing?

text: technology Computing enters a new age ByStaff reporter on 28th September 2017 Share Tweet An international team of scientists has developed microchips powerful enough to replicate the brains ability to retain and process data. Researchers from the Universities of Exeter, Oxford and Münster have made photonic computer chips that function thousands of times quicker than the human brain. The technology harnesses light, not electricity, and can 'imitate the way the brain's synapses operate'. "The development of computers that work more like the human brain has been a holy grail of scientists for decades. Via a network of neurons and synapses the brain can process and store vast amounts of information simultaneously, using only a few tens of Watts of power. Conventional computers can't come close to this sort of performance," said Professor Harish Bhaskaran from Oxford University and who led the team. The groundbreaking research was published this week in the journal, Science Advances. Professor Wolfram Pernice, a co-author of the paper from the University of Münster added: "Since synapses outnumber neurons in the brain by around 10,000 to 1, any brain-like computer needs to be able to replicate some form of synaptic mimic. That is what we have done here." It is the latest development in supercomputer technologies. Japan wants to have the world's fastest supercomputer by 2018. While European countries are working together to build one. And individuals around the world are donating their spare computing power to help create a computer platform that scientists can use to combat deadly diseases.

I was once an RGN (Registered General Nurse) student. I went into nursing to be a missionary, not kill people, so when I found out there were secret plans not to resuscitate patients, and other ways they finished up without the planned resuscitation, I went on Channel 4 TV News in England to try to expose the practices. However I would describe the TV broadcast as a clever cover-up. They actively refused to allow me to quote evidence of a planned resuscitation that did not occur, even though the patient and relatives thought a resuscitation would be performed in the event of a cardiac arrest.
If you want to see just how bad the secret practices were just see the paper that was published by one of the hospitals I worked in, where I made complaints about subjects like "The Hollywood Code" "Light Blue" or "The slow code".

ENGLAND - female Christian martyrs
There follows a list of English female martyrs
those names which are underlined (thus) are linked to pages further describing their life and martyrdom
An Account of the Persecutions in Great Britain.
Prior to the Reign of Queen Mary I
Saxon invaders murdered many.
later Danish invaders murdered many
In Ireland also the Danes murdered and burned the priests alive in their own churches; they carried destruction along with them wherever they went, sparing neither age nor sex.
The followers of Wickliffe, then called Lollards, were become extremely numerous, and the clergy were so vexed to see them increase; whatever power or influence they might have to molest them in an underhand manner, they had no authority by law to put them to death. However, the clergy embraced the favorable opportunity, and prevailed upon the king to suffer a bill to be brought into parliament, by which all Lollards who remained obstinate, should be delivered over to the secular power, and burnt as heretics. This act was the first in Britain for the burning of people for their religious sentiments; it passed in the year 1401, and was soon after put into execution.
(There are many male martyrs mentioned as killed or burnt - remember the sufferings of their bereaved families)
1) In 1506, one William Tilfrey, a pious man, was burnt alive at Amersham, in a close called Stoneyprat, and at the same time, his daughter, Joan Clarke, a married women, was obliged to light the fagots that were to burn her father.
2) A pious woman was burnt at Chippen Sudburne, by order of the chancellor, Dr. Whittenham. After she had been consumed in the flames, and the people were returning home, a bull broke loose from a butcher and singling out the chancellor from all the rest of the company, he gored him through the body, and on his horns carried his entrails. This was seen by all the people, and it is remarkable that the animal did not meddle with any other person whatever.
3) Robert Silks, who had been condemned in the bishop's court as a heretic, made his escape out of prison, but was taken two years afterward, and brought back to Coventry, where he was burnt alive. The sheriffs always seized the goods of the martyrs for their own use, so that their wives and children were left to starve.
4) In 1532, Thomas Harding, who with his wife, had been accused of heresy, was brought before the bishop of Lincoln, and condemned for denying the real presence in the Sacrament. He was then chained to a stake, erected for the purpose, at Chesham in the Pell, near Botely; and when they had set fire to the fagots, one of the spectators dashed out his brains with a billet. The priests told the people that whoever brought fagots to burn heretics would have an indulgence to commit sins for forty days.
Persecutions in England During the Reign of Queen Mary
1) LADY JANE GREY: (1537–54), great-niece of Henry VIII, queen of England 9–19 July 1553. In 1553, to ensure a Protestant succession, John Dudley, the Duke of Northumberland, forced Jane to marry his son and persuaded the dying Edward VI to name Jane as his successor. She was quickly deposed by forces loyal to Edward's (Catholic) sister Mary, who had popular support, and executed the following year.
2) ANNE ASKEW: Anne Askew, an Englishwoman who became actively involved in propagating Protestant beliefs—even being rejected by her husband as a result of her zeal. As in medieval inquisitions, the questions asked to Anne are aimed at clarifying where the error arises; here, she rejects the doctrine of transubstantiation and challenges the authority of "improper" priests. Her answers are logical and coherent as she unwittingly condemns herself. Anne was tortured in the Tower of London and burned at the stake in 1546 at the age of twenty-five.
3) AGNES SNOTH Annes Snoth or Annis Snod (widow) ...... of Smarden, Kent .......
4) ANNE WRIGHT (or Albright) alias Champnes
5) JOAN SOLE (or Jone Soale) (wife) .......... Horton, Kent
6) JOAN CATMER ....... of Hythe, Kent, 'wife (as it should seem) of George Catmer', burnt in 1555
As Robert Samuel, the godly martyr, was going to the fire, there came a certain maid to him, which took him about the neck, and kissed him, who, being marked by them that were present, was sought for the next day after, to be had to prison and burned, as the very party herself informed me: howbeit, as God of His goodness would have it, she escaped their fiery hands, keeping herself secret in the town a good while after.
8) ANNE POTTEN (wife of brewer Robert Potten) ....... Ipswich, Suffolk......... burnt 19 February 1556, Ipswich, Cornhill
9) JOAN TRUNCHFIELD (wife of Michael Trunchfield a shoemaker) ...... Ipswich, Suffolk....... burnt 19 February 1556, Ipswich, Cornhill/
(and the vision of 3 ladders of martyr Robert Samuel)
This poor, honest woman, blind from her birth, and unmarried, aged twenty-two, was of the parish of Allhallows, Derby. Her father was a barber, and also made ropes for a living: in which she assisted him, and also learned to knit several articles of apparel. Refusing to communicate with those who maintained doctrines contrary to those she had learned in the days of the pious Edward, she was called before Dr. Draicot, the chancellor of Bishop Blaine, and Peter Finch, official of Derby.
With sophisitcal arguments and threats they endeavored to confound the poor girl; but she proffered to yield to the bishop's doctrine, if he would answer for her at the Day of Judgment, (as pious Dr. Taylor had done in his sermons) that his belief of the real presence of the Sacrament was true. The bishop at first answered that he would; but Dr. Draicot reminding him that he might not in any way answer for a heretic, he withdrew his confirmation of his own tenets; and she replied that if their consciences would not permit them to answer at God's bar for that truth they wished her to subscribe to, she would answer no more questions. Sentence was then adjudged, and Dr. Draicot appointed to preach her condemned sermon, which took place August 1, 1556, the day of her martyrdom. His fulminating discourse being finished, the poor, sightless object was taken to a place called Windmill Pit, near the town, where she for a time held her brother by the hand, and then prepared herself for the fire, calling upon the pitying multitude to pray with her, and upon Christ to have mercy upon her, until the glorious light of the everlasting Sun of righteousness beamed upon her departed spirit.
In November, fifteen martyrs were imprisoned in Canterbury castle, of whom all were either burnt or famished. Among the latter were J. Clark, D. Chittenden, W. Foster of Stonc, Alice Potkins, and J. Archer, of Cranbrooke, weaver. The two first of these had not received condemnation, but the others were sentenced to the fire. Foster, at his examination, observed upon the utility of carrying lighted candles about on Candlemas-day, that he might as well carry a pitchfork; and that a gibbet would have as good an effect as the cross.
13) JOAN WINSELEY (of Horsley Magnam, spinster)
14) MARG. FIELD, (of Ramsey, spinster)
16) C. PEPPER (widow)
17) ALICE WALLEY (who recanted)
18) C. WARREN (of Cocksall, spinster)
19) AGNES WHITLOCK (of Dover-court, spinster)
20) ROSE ALLEN (spinster)
Persecutions in the Diocese of Canterbury
In the month of February, These persons were brought before Bonner, who would have immediately sent them to execution, but Cardinal Pole was for more merciful measures, and Bonner, in a letter of his to the cardinal, seems to be sensible that he had displeased him, for he has this expression: "I thought to have them all hither to Fulham, and to have given sentence against them; nevertheless, perceiving by my last doing that your grace was offended, I thought it my duty, before I proceeded further, to inform your grace." This circumstance verifies the account that the cardinal was a humane man; and though a zealous Catholic, we, as Protestants, are willing to render him that honor which his merciful character deserves. Some of the bitter persecutors denounced him to the pope as a favorer of heretics, and he was summoned to Rome, but Queen Mary, by particular entreaty, procured his stay. However, before his latter end, and a little before his last journey from Rome to England, he was strongly suspected of favoring the doctrine of Luther.
21) BARBARY FINAL (widow)
24) ALICE BENDEN (wife of Edward Benden)
The whole of these seven martyrs undressed themselves with alacrity, and, being prepared, knelt down, and prayed with an earnestness and Christian spirit that even the enemies of the cross were affected. After invocation made together, they were secured to the stake, and, being encompassed with the unsparing flames, they yielded their souls into the hands of the living Lord.
audibly proclaimed that she revoked her former recantation, and cautioned the people to avoid her unworthy example. At the stake, the poor sufferer, feeling the fire, uttered the cry of "Oh!" upon which Mr. Miller, putting his hand behind him towards her, desired her to be of a good courage, "for (said he) good sister, we shall have a joyful and a sweet supper." Encouraged by this example and exhortation, she stood the fiery ordeal without flinching, and, with him, proved the power of faith over the flesh.
Executions at Colchester
27) ROSE ALLIN (Alice Munt's daughter)
It was before mentioned that twenty-two persons had been sent up from Colchester, who upon a slight submission, were afterward released. Of these, William Munt, of Much Bentley, husbandman, with Alice, his wife, and Rose Allin, her daughter, upon their return home, abstained from church, which induced the bigoted priest secretly to write to Bonner. For a short time they absconded, but returning again, March 7, one Edmund Tyrrel, (a relation of the Tyrrel who murdered King Edward V and his brother) with the officers, entered the house while Munt and his wife were in bed, and informed them that they must go to Colchester Castle. Mrs. Munt at that time being very ill, requested her daughter to get her some drink; leave being permitted, Rose took a candle and a mug; and in returning through the house was met by Tyrrel, who cautioned her to advise her parents to become good Catholics. Rose briefly informed him that they had the Holy Ghost for their adviser; and that she was ready to lay down her own life for the same cause. Turning to his company, he remarked that she was willing to burn; and one of them told him to prove her, and see what she would do by and by. The unfeeling wretch immediately executed this project; and, seizing the young woman by the wrist, he held the lighted candle under her hand, burning it crosswise on the back, until the tendons divided from the flesh, during which he loaded her with many opprobrious epithets. She endured his rage unmoved, and then, when he had ceased the torture, she asked him to begin at her feet or head, for he need not fear that his employer would one day repay him. After this she took the drink to her mother.
Mrs. Joyce Lewes. This lady was the wife of Mr. T. Lewes, of Manchester.
When she had prayed, she took the cup, (which had been filled with water to refresh her,) and said, "I drink to all them that unfeignedly love the Gospel of Christ, and wish for the abolition of popery." Her friends, and a great many women of the place, drank with her, for which most of them afterward were enjoined penance.
When chained to the stake, her countenance was cheerful, and the roses of her cheeks were not abated. Her hands were extended towards heaven until the fire rendered them powerless, when her soul was received into the arms of the Creator.
29) MRS CICELY ORMES: (wife of Edmund Ormes, worsted-weaver) ....... St Edmund's Parish, Norwich, Norfolk ....... burnt 23 September 1557,
Norwich, Norfolk
This young martyr, aged twenty-two, was the wife of Mr. Edmund Ormes, worsted weaver of St. Lawrence, After declaring her faith to the people, she laid her hand on the stake, and said, "Welcome, thou cross of Christ."
A woman who stood firmly and bravely against idols, and was burnt alive for it. All those who use idols should follow the link and study her life and death, Her example is one of stunning bravery and purity.
Being delivered to the sheriff, she was led by the officer to the place of execution, without the walls of Exeter, called Sothenhey, where again the superstitious priests assaulted her. While they were tying her to the stake, she continued earnestly to exclaim "God be merciful to me, a sinner!" Patiently enduring the devouring conflagration, she was consumed to ashes, and thus ended a life which in unshaken fidelity to the cause of Christ, was not surpassed by that of any preceding martyr.
32) CATHERINE FINLAY [alias Catherine Knight] (an Aged Woman)
[not sure if there is a connection between 3) AGNES SNOTH & 4) ANNE WRIGHT - the names are remarkably similar]
J. Corneford, of Wortham; C. Browne, of Maidstone; J. Herst,of Ashford; Alice Snoth, and Catharine Knight,
With pleasure we have to record that these five martyrs were the last who suffered in the reign of Mary for the sake of the Protestant cause; but the malice of the papists was conspicuous in hastening their martyrdom, which might have been delayed until the event of the queen's illness was decided.
These five martyrs, when at the stake, earnestly prayed that their blood might be the last shed, nor did they pray in vain. They died gloriously, and perfected the number God had selected to bear witness of the truth in this dreadful reign, whose names are recorded in the Book of Life; though last, not least among the saints made meet for immortality through the redeeming blood of the Lamb!
Queen Mary's Treatment of Her Sister, the Princess Elizabeth
The mistreatment by Bloody Mary of Princess Elizabeth (later Elizabeth R, Queen Elizabeth 1st) is not recorded here. I believe that Elizabeth 1st in her reign was very violent, falling little short of that of Queen Mary before her. In this sense I do not consider Elizabeth a martyr, as I do not consider her, or Mary, Christians, as those who kill torture and torment others in either fashion, whether called Catholic or Protestant, are not really Christian. Though it can be argued that the persecutions and torments Elizabeth endured were at a younger stage in her life, when she did not herself practice such cruelty, and perhaps then was little capable of it, until tormented herself. A link is provided to read the article about Elizabeth.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer performed on this day in 1977 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
This was the band's second consecutive day in Philadelphia. The band were still early on this part of the Works Tour, the portion without the orchestra. The orchestra rejoined them at a few special concerts, but except for that the remainder of the tour was undertaken as a three-piece. This long tour, going for about ten months with only a break in December, was the last the band would take in the 1970s. Afterwards, they made up these mind to disband for a while, but were forced by their record label to make one last album.
There is no known recording of this particular concert.
I talk more about the venue at which the band performed, the Spectrum, here.

What would persuade you to change?
Gym members are "the fruit fly of habit research", in the words of behavioural scientist Katy Milkman.
Natural scientists keep coming back to experiment on the flies, because the insects share 60 per cent of their DNA with humans. Similarly, social scientists swarm around gym users, or at least their data, to work out why people stick with, or drop, healthy workout habits.
Milkman is both a gym-goer and, as a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, an avid student of other people's gym-going habits. Her interest goes well beyond the locker room, though. Find the key to good repeat behaviour, she suggests, and you can use it to unlock motivation at work or in your studies, or build a better and more productive business.
At this point in 2022, you may have started worrying about that new year resolution to visit the gym more often. Don't panic. Milkman demonstrated in previous research that there was no particular reason why you had to wait for January 1 to come round again to pledge to change your behaviour. Identifying what she called "the fresh start effect", she found that pegging a life change — be that increased savings, a change of job or a new fitness programme — to any significant date, such as a birthday, increased the effectiveness of the pledge.
In separate work, she also looked at the difference between "Routine Rachels", who set rigid times for gym visits, and "Flexible Fernandos", who were permitted to adjust their timetable. After running a study with Google employees, she found that allowing flexibility encouraged more lasting gym attendance. "The most versatile and robust habits are formed when we train ourselves to make the best decision, no matter the circumstances," Milkman writes in her recent book How to Change.
Milkman's latest work is on a significantly greater scale. She and Angela Duckworth, best known for her work on "grit" and the book of the same name, organised a "megastudy" in partnership with the 24 Hour Fitness chain, simultaneously testing on its 60,000 members, 54 four-week micro-interventions suggested by dozens of scientists.
Of the ideas they tested, 45 per cent increased weekly gym visits by between 9 and 27 per cent, according to the study, recently published in the journal Nature. All the ideas outperformed a placebo control programme.
The most effective nudge turned out to be the offer of a few pennies of reward, in the form of Amazon vouchers, for users who returned to the gym after missing a session. The study also tested "temptation bundling", based on ideas Milkman explored in previous research looking at how people are encouraged to go to the gym if they combine visits with the opportunity to listen to favourite audiobooks. Persuasion expert Robert Cialdini, bestselling author of Influence, proposed an experiment that successfully demonstrated the power of simply informing users that most Americans were exercising and numbers were growing. The technique boosted gym visits by 24 per cent.
Physical health is no trivial matter, so if offering tiny rewards can achieve a widespread increase in gym attendance, so much the better. But Milkman believes the structure of this megastudy and others like it is as important as the substance, if not more so.
Through the Behavior Change for Good Initiative, Milkman and Duckworth believe scientists can accelerate their behavioural studies and make them more effective. Scientists submit ideas to participate in what is in essence a massive cross-disciplinary collaboration. The centre sifts and refines the proposals for feasibility, legality and good taste, and then runs the experiments simultaneously, publishing both successful and unsuccessful outcomes.
"The nice thing is that we put it all out there — we hang all our dirty washing and we get to publish the null results alongside the others," says Milkman. She points out that the exercise is like an instant meta-analysis, or study of studies.
The willing participation of Milkman and Duckworth's gym-going "fruit flies" is only a start. Megastudies are planned or under way to look at how teachers can improve the performance of their pupils, universities can retain students, people can create emergency savings pots, societies can reduce misinformation and — critically during Covid-19 — patients can be encouraged to consider vaccination.
One 2021 megastudy of 19 ways in which text messages can be used to nudge patients into adopting the flu vaccine offers some hints about what such research might yield. It suggested that text messages sent in advance could boost vaccination rates by an average of 5 per cent. The best results were found after patients were texted twice and told that their flu shot was specifically reserved for them.
In How to Change, Milkman poses this question: "If you can't persuade people to alter their behaviour by telling them that change is simple, cheap and good for them, what magical ingredient will do the trick?" Megastudies could open a fast track to find the magic spell.

Jeff is an excellent and thorough technician. I am very pleased with his care of my system. I have had your company care for my system for the 12 years I have lived in this house. Now, I would only have him!

I believe it was Gary.He was veery nice & patient explaining things to us old people. We don't know how these new founded things work. I also want to thank you for taking care of the problem so fast.

I had a visit from Total Air recently to do a schedule A/C maintenance check & I realized once again you generously provide this service without charge. It also occurred to me that every once in a while we should acknowledge and thank you again for your kindness. It's even more helpful now that Charlie isn't here to direct the many household requirements. So Total Air, you have my total appreciation for you and your gift.
Joan M.
I have two systems on the Total Air Solutions Comfort Assurance Plan. The service techs check out the systems top to bottom twice a year and keep them running efficiently as the day they were new. We've caught any issues with the equipment before failure struck, that means "no surprises!" (Surprises are not good in this Florida summer heat). I've had the same techs for years and they know me and my systems. Just a great bunch of guys. I highly recommend Total Air.
Best Service Tech. I Have Ever Had. (FIVE *****PLUS)
Mr. Neal
Thank you for your mail. I just want to say, the serviceman who showed up was really great. What a service and was a pleasant employee.
Gertrude H.
We are very happy with the service, thank you!
My husband had made an appointment for our AC to be checked by Jeff (only Jeff) and it had to be cancelled. Yesterday 12/5/19, Jeff came; he is truly an asset representing the company. He does diligent work and is a caring person. My husband would have been very grateful knowing Jeff took care of potential problems for me.

In an effort to improve World Show opportunities, solid Paint-breds and Regular Registry Paints will show together in most non-world championship, non-pointed classes at the APHA World Championship Show and Youth World Championship Show.
This move was approved by the Executive Committee at their January 2018 meeting for select World Show events only; included are added-money Challenge and Sweepstakes classes (except those held concurrently with world championship classes), the Breeders' Trust Pleasure Stakes classes with a combined $50,000 payout, and the Youth Team Tournament and Youth World Games events.
Last year, solids were allowed to show in these non-world championship, non-pointed events if they were DNA tested to carry a Paint pattern gene—that rule proved cumbersome to exhibitors. The Executive Committee voted in January to approve an easier-to-understand format that helps provide value-added showing options to solid Paint-breds on the World Show stage.
The Youth World Championship Show takes place June 25–July 8 in Fort Worth, Texas, and qualifying is not required. In order to compete for scholarship prizes—awarded in all world championship classes—horses must be owned/leased by the exhibitor or an eligible family member as recorded by APHA postmarked by the pre-entry deadline, May 15. Youth or eligible family members who own/lease their horses after the May 15 postmark deadline (as recorded by APHA) are eligible to compete for Youth World Show titles and awards upon payment of a $500 fee (applied to the APHF Youth World Show Scholarship Fund), but they will not be eligible to earn scholarship money. The schedule will be posted at apha.com/ywcs/schedule/ in March. More than $120,000 in Youth scholarships are available in 2018.
The Open/Amateur World Championship Show takes place September 17–30 in Fort Worth, Texas. Non-pointed, non-world championship classes do not require qualification (except the PBRIP Sweepstakes classes); for all world championship events, qualifying via participation at two APHA-approved events during the applicable period (June 1, 2017–June 4, 2018) or payment of a $1,000 per show fee is required. The schedule will be posted at apha.com/oawcs/show-schedule/ in April, and pre-entries are due August 1. More than $800,000 in cash and prizes is up for grabs at the 2018 APHA World Championship Show.

The blockchain world once again felt the crushing talons of duplicity as world famous NFT artist, Beeple, saw his Twitter account hacked. As a result, studious collectors lost an estimated $438k worth of cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens.
The hack took place in the early hours of Sunday morning, while Beeple remained in bliss-filled slumber. During which, the cowardly act of skullduggery posted two separate links to a 'free' Beeple x Louis Vuitton NFT mint. As a result, those guided by FOMO jumped in without due diligence, and quite notably did not receive a free NFT.
While Beeple slept on, the NFT community rallied to the cause by circulating news of the hack. Then, on his emergence, team Vaynerchuk stepped in to help wrestle control back of the beleaguered Twitter account. Among the assets pilfered from the gutless heist, collectors lost around 73k worth of ETH, as well as coveted items from the Mutant Ape, VeeFriends, and Otherdeeds collections.
Then, in way of thanks, Beeple demonstrated appreciation of the help received in way of a weird Gary Vaynerchuk boobs goat. A somehow pleasing-on-the-eye NFT when considered side by side with his recent Madonna collab.
