CARY, N.C. -- Josh Brower scored two goals, including the game-winner in the 104th minute, to lift the Covenant men's soccer team to a 2-1 victory over William Peace on Saturday afternoon at WakeMed Soccer Park.
It was the second straight day that Covenant (7-11-1, 3-6-1 USA South) played an overtime contest after falling 3-2 at Greensboro on Friday. The win was also the first overtime victory of the season for the Scots. William Peace drops to 6-11-1 overall and 2-7-1 in the USA South.
Covenant fell behind 1-0 early in the second half after William Peace's Kevin Amaya scored an unassisted goal to give the host Pacers a lead. Less than 10 minutes later, Brower notched his first goal of the afternoon as he dribbled into the box and had his shot sneak into the lower right-hand corner of the net to tie the score at 1-1 in the 55th minute.
Both teams had a plethora of opportunities over the final 35 minutes of regulation. The Scots held a 14-10 edge in shots taken in the second half alone, but could not break the tie.
Covenant again had chances in the first overtime, taking five shots in the period, but the William Peace defense and keeper Christian Ortiz stood tall and got the match into a second overtime session. Less than four minutes into the final period, Brower headed in a pass from Isaac Johnson to give the Scots a 2-1 victory.
The goals for Brower gives him four on the year. Johnson picked up his first assist of the year.
Covenant had a 25-19 shot advantage in the match and also held a 14-3 margin in corner kicks. Jonathan Crossman made seven saves for Covenant, while Ortiz was required to make 11 for the Pacers.
Carl Simakoff led all players with his seven shot attempts, while Brower had five and Ethan Pettit three. The somewhat physical match saw five yellow cards and 30 total fouls.
Covenant will have its final regular season home match on Wednesday, Oct. 25 against Berea. Match time is scheduled for 6 p.m. Senior Night activities will take place before the contest.
Be sure to follow the Scots all season long on athletics.covenant.edu and on social media at Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for up-to-date scores, news and other information. To receive text alerts with score updates or e-newsletters, click here.

Careers Interviews and Advice
Year 11 careers interviews will take place later in the academic year.
'Good careers education and guidance can give young people a flying start by helping them gain the basic knowledge and skills they need to begin navigating their way successfully through career choices and changes. '
Aileen Sinclair - Adviza
My name is Aileen Sinclair and I have worked in the careers guidance sector for over 30 years, initially with Berkshire County Council and now with a careers guidance company called Adviza.
I have worked in most of the schools in Wokingham and am in my second year of working in Maiden Erlegh. I come into school 2 days a week to deliver careers guidance sessions with Year 11 students but also offer help and advice to some students in the sixth form.
With Year 11 students, we look at different ways of researching any career ideas they have so they can identify careers which truly suit their skills, abilities and personality. We also consider the whole range of options available, including college or apprenticeships so they can decide which route is best for them. Careers advisers never tell students what to do! Armed with enough relevant, comprehensive, appropriate information and self-awareness, the students can hopefully decide for themselves.
With sixth formers, we often talk about career plans, going to university, writing personal statements, non-university options, sponsored degrees etc.
I attend school careers events so students are welcome to talk to me then or they can pop along at lunchtime and catch me in the careers room opposite L8.
When I am not in school, my colleagues and I are based in the ground floor of Wokingham Library where we are part of the Elevate Hub which helps young people and adults find employment, discuss careers, changes of direction and get employability support.
Maiden Erlegh School's partnership with Adviza
Maiden Erlegh School in Reading is a partner school of Adviza who aim to inspire people through high quality careers education, information, advice and guidance. Adviza is a registered charity formerly known as Connexions Thames Valley. They aim to inspire young people to make better decisions that help them progress in learning and work. Their passion is to support young people and others, at important times in their lives where key decisions need to be made.
A key part of this support is providing impartial information, advice and guidance to young people as they move through their teenage years into adulthood and working life. They aim to raise people's aspirations and motivate them to achieve their full potential by helping them overcome barriers to their progression in learning and work.
The Department for Education has made it a statutory requirement for all schools to provide impartial, independent advice for all students in years 8-13 from September 2013. In response to this and feedback from you, we have been looking for the best provider to meet the needs of our students and have chosen Adviza to provide this.
Maiden Erlegh School in Reading offers the following support and guidance:
• A new careers guidance tutor programme for Years 7-11 including the essential 'soft' and 'hard' skills our students will need in the future from managing their online identity to contingency planning if their results do not quite go the way they want.
• An individual interview with the Adviza careers adviser for every Year 11 followed up with an action plan.
• Group workshops with Year 8 in the run-up to their options.
• The adviser will be available for advice at options evening and parents evening for options year groups.
• There will be workshops for those students not going to university focusing on apprenticeships, gap years and employment.
• Training for members of staff involved in careers to further enhance our provision.
• Continued support for all students applying to University with their UCAS applications.
There is also an out of hours careers webchat service which you can use through this website http://www.adviza.org.uk/chat
or call 0845 408 5050.
What is Careers Education and Guidance?
Careers education is delivered by schools, starting in Year 7 and progressing through to Year 11. It takes the student on a voyage of self-discovery as they explore their own strengths, interests, the world of work and offers exposure to employers via careers events and speakers in school.
Careers guidance happens at the end of this process, as they talk to an adviser about their plans, hopes and aspirations. It definitely is not about telling young people what to do, but about ensuring they have enough relevant, impartial and current information to think through their options and make an informed decision for themselves.

The Mystic In The Machine – Sam Barlow – Medium. The Tao of computation Imagine a black dot on white paper.
Claire Beckett photographs American converts to Islam in her series, "The Converts." Copyright Claire Beckett In post–Sept. 11 America, some have—wrongfully—imagined a line between American-ness and Islam.

Why the only future worth building includes everyone. How do you sell God in the 21st century? More heaven, less hell. A couple of years ago, a Chicago-based corporate-identity consultant Chris Herron gave himself the ultimate challenge: rebrand hell.
It was half gag, half self-promotion, but Herron took the project seriously, considering what it would take for a place like hell to become a premier destination in the travel market. Herron decided that what hell needed was a complete brand overhaul. The pagan roots of Easter. Easter is a pagan festival.
If Easter isn't really about Jesus, then what is it about? The Pagan origins of Easter. Easter Sponsored link.
Origins of the name "Easter": The name "Easter" originated with the names of an ancient Goddess and God. The Venerable Bede, (672-735 CE), a Christian scholar, first asserted in his book De Ratione Temporum that Easter was named after Eostre (a.k.a. Eastre). An alternative explanation has been suggested. The Erasure of Islam from the Poetry of Rumi. A couple of years ago, when Coldplay's Chris Martin was going through a divorce from the actress Gwyneth Paltrow and feeling down, a friend gave him a book to lift his spirits.
It was a collection of poetry by Jalaluddin Rumi, the thirteenth-century Persian poet, translated by Coleman Barks. "It kind of changed my life," Martin said later, in an interview. Study: Turns out religion is kinda like an opiate. Islamic Sects, Schools, Branches & Movements — Information is Beautiful. Life after a sex cult: 'If I'm not a member of this religion any more, then who am I?' Of his eight siblings, Michael Young was the most zealous street missionary.
As a child growing up in Monterrey, Mexico, he preached up to 10 hours a day, three to four days each week. He spoke to strangers on the streets and often went door-to-door. He'd ask them, in broken Spanish, if they wished to go to heaven. Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. 1–10 of 88 documents found source of mysticism and the mystical elements in Islam are to be traced to the Qur'an and the Islamic doctrine...viewed by the mystics and philosopher-mystics of Islam as allegorical and esoteric hints for those who ...within an Islamic milieu.
Mystical elements exist in Islam in two different and independent ways. Fundamentalists hacked my husband to death. The same hate is spreading across the world. I have no memory of the attack, but the pictures of my husband's bloody, motionless body on the street, me next to him pleading for help, the four large stab wounds on my head and a sliced-off thumb, will remind me forever of the hatred and intolerance that changed my life.
Our assailants, armed with machetes, were Islamists who on 26 February 2015, ambushed us while we were visiting our homeland, Bangladesh, for a book-signing trip. They hacked my husband, Avijit Roy, to death and left me gravely injured. Why did we deserve such violence? Because fundamentalists were threatened by our writings – on science, philosophy and criticism of religious dogma – and they identified us as enemies of Islam. The FBI and Religion: Muslims, Mormons, Jews, and More - The Atlantic. Historians have looked harshly on the FBI's legacy in dealing with religious groups. The Bureau famously investigated and threatened Martin Luther King Jr. at the peak of the civil-rights movement.
A 1993 standoff with a group called the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas, ended with a massive fire, killing more than six dozen men, women, and children. And since the terrorist attacks of September 11, the Bureau has repeatedly been accused of illegally surveilling and harassing Muslim Americans. The story of the FBI and religion is not a series of isolated mishaps, argues a new book of essays edited by Steven Weitzman, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and Sylvester A. Johnson, a professor at Northwestern University. MythBlast: Shiva and the Great Dance – JCF: Home. Shivaratri, The Great Night of Shiva, is celebrated this year on the 24th of February, the 6th night of the Phalgun, and devotees fast and maintain vigil all night.
This, the largest of Shiva celebrations, centers on the tradition which allows that on this night, Lord Shiva performed the Tandava, the dance that is the source of the cycles of creation, dissolution, and destruction. Tradition also holds that it was on this day that Shiva and Parvati were married. Religious penance may be found during Shivaratra through a night long practice of meditation and yoga. Various scholars have noticed similarities between Shiva and other Greek deities; even Alexander the Great called Shiva the "Indian Dionysus" and his phallic symbolism is shared by Nordic, Irish, and Roman gods as well.
How Do People Become Indoctrinated Into Cults? How did it happen? No question has been uttered more often in regards to cults. Throughout recorded history (and probably much longer) humans have been susceptible to charismatic leaders that have, either by nature or training, understood the psychology of acquiring followers. Even though we're aware of the dangerous mechanisms of cult machinery, people continue to fall, again and again. The Cognitive Origins of Religion. To understand the human brain we often turn to neuroscientists and psychologists. Two decades ago, Professor of Archaeology Steven Mithen decided to explore the origins of our nervous system (and much more) through his field of study.
Besides popularizing the term 'cognitive fluidity,' in his landmark book, The Prehistory of the Mind: The Cognitive Origins of Art, Religion, and Science, Mithen speculated on exactly how primates evolved to the current iteration of the brain. Mithen believes three major phases occurred to get from primate to modern humans. In Phase One, our ancestors exhibited general intelligence: I know the river floods when the sun is at that arc in the sky.
Japan: The Most Religious Atheist Country. When the Agency for Cultural Affairs commissioned a report into religious beliefs in Japan, they were initially confused by their results. Totaling up the number of people who belonged to religious groups in Japan, they got the result that 209 million people belonged were religiously affiliated. Not the Time for Reconciliation. How We Can Begin to Rebuild the American Community. The Dalai Lama recently co-authored (with Arthur C. Brooks) an Opinion piece in the New York Times that presents a compelling reason for the anger that drove the 2016 presidential election: A feeling among many that the world no longer has any use for them. (The choice of messenger is a separate issue.) JINJA HONCHO - Association of Shinto Shrines. This Land Is Mine. If churches are openly political, why are they not paying taxes? While the desire to tax churches is not new, it seems as far from reality as possible at this moment. As has been commented, no atheist could possibly hope to win an election in today's political climate—a freethinking man like Robert Ingersoll would have no influence with the majority of our electorate.
Our cultural dependency on the necessity of faith is affecting our society: According to a University of Tampa study, not taxing churches is taking an estimated $71 billion from our economy every year, and this fact remains largely unquestioned. The general argument over why churches do not pay taxes goes like this: If there is a separation of church and state, then the state (or fed) has no right to collect money from the church. In exchange, churches cannot use their clout to influence politics. A brief overview. Like a penis. Pastor cautions about Trump-loving Men of the Christian Right— he NAILS it. John Pavlovitz is a veteran minister in Raleigh, North Carolina who's not afraid to call out men of the Christian Right (sometimes known as The Religious Right or DonaldTrump lovers, supporters, and defenders).
In a recent blog, Pavlovitz bluntly tells Christian women/all women that they don't matter to these right-wing religious zealots who build up and defended Trump and the misogyny he brings to the table.

Walt Disney World offers an incredible number of rides and attractions for kids of any height (including infants), but there are still a handful of rides in each of the four theme parks with height restrictions.
If you are traveling with small children, you might automatically rule those rides out – but you don't need to because Walt Disney World offers a great solution called rider swap or child swap.
So what is rider swap, and how does it work?
Essentially, one parent/adult waits with the child who is too short while the other one goes on the ride. When the riding adult is done, the waiting adult is able to go on that same ride via the FastPass+ line using a paper pass.
Here are the details on how it works:
Both adults and the child who is too short to ride approach a cast member at the front of the ride and say they would like to do a rider swap or child swap. The cast member will want to actually see that there is a child too short to ride.
The riding adult is then handed a plastic card, such as the one below, at the ride entrance. (Note: Occasionally, and on certain rides, such as Star Tours, an adult doing rider swap will immediately be given a paper rider swap pass instead of first receiving a plastic one. This is usually when a second FastPass+ checkpoint is not in use.)
When they get to the second FastPass+ checkpoint, where the standby and FastPass+ lines merge, they hand that plastic pass to the cast member there and receive a paper rider swap pass, like this:
After the first adult rides the ride, they give that paper pass to the adult who waited. That adult then is able to enter the same ride through the FastPass+ line by showing the paper pass to the cast member at the entrance. The paper pass is then collected by a cast member at the second FastPass+ checkpoint (or at the FastPass+ entrance if the ride isn't using the second FastPass+ checkpoint for any reason).
Here are some important things to know about Disney World's rider swap:
Rider swap is offered on every Disney ride with a height requirement – and only those rides.
Rider swap is only available to you if you have a child in your group who is too short to ride. Disney does not even let children enter a line if they are too short for that ride. Also, this is not something you can use if your child is too scared – but tall enough – to ride.
A paper rider swap pass is good to use for up to three people. If you have one or two other children who are tall enough to ride, then they can go twice – once with mom and once with dad (or another adult in your party).
Paper rider swap passes generally expire at the end of the current month. If you are tight on time (or your too-short child simply doesn't want to wait any longer), you can use the rider swap pass later in the day or during another day of your trip.
You can use rider swap if you are going on a ride through the standby line or the FastPass+ line (if you have a FastPass+ for that ride).
Occasionally, if a height restriction ride has no wait, a cast member may refuse to provide a child swap pass.
Tip: If you aren't going to use your rider swap pass at all on your trip, you can always spread some pixie dust by passing it along to another guest to use.
Here are all of the rides with height restrictions at Walt Disney World's four theme parks (where rider swap is offered):

The Cincinnati Reds lost top free agent Shin-Soo Choo over the weekend, meaning center field prospect Billy Hamilton's timeline just sped up. Can the fastest man in baseball keep pace?
In the wake of Choo's departure to the Texas Rangers after inking a seven-year, $130 million deal, Reds general manager Walt Jocketty announced that Hamilton will be the team's everyday center fielder and leadoff hitter.
That's quite a lot to ask of a 23-year-old with all of 13 major league games on his resume, particularly for a contending club like the Reds, who have won 90-plus games and made the playoffs three of the past four seasons.
"He's the guy," Jocketty said of Hamilton, per John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer. "We feel confident he can be a good leadoff hitter. He'll give us great defense. The only question is how often he can get on base."
While Hamilton is known for his ludicrous speed, his hitting ability is more than just a question—it could be a legitimate concern for Cincinnati. After all, we're talking about a youngster whose development went backward upon reaching Triple-A for the first time in 2013. Hamilton, who is rail thin at 6'0″ and 160 pounds, sported a triple-slash line of .256/.308/.343 while stealing "only" 75 bases.
That performance came after Hamilton hit .311/.410/.420 across High- and Double-A in 2012, while swiping a ridiculous 155 bases—the single-season record at any level in baseball history.
Well aware that they might have to rely heavily on him in 2014, the Reds sent Hamilton to Puerto Rico for winter ball with the directive to "get more at-bats and work more on his offense," as Jocketty told Mark Sheldon of MLB.com.
What was a good plan didn't turn out so well in the execution: Hamilton batted just .227 with a .284 on-base percentage. Yes, it was only 75 at-bats, but it was further evidence that Hamilton's ability and approach at the plate could be a significant challenge for the Reds, particularly if they're going to hit him in the top spot regularly.
On the other hand, Hamilton was quite the revelation for the Reds down the stretch in 2013. After getting called up following roster expansion in September, he stole 13 bases in 14 attempts, most of which came as a pinch runner late in games—when someone else did the getting-on-base part to allow Hamilton to do what he does best.
As for his September showing with the stick, here's more from Sheldon:
In his 13 big league games, Hamilton did bat .368 with two doubles and a .429 on-base percentage. For two of his starts, he had three-hit games. But he was also given favorable matchups by then-manager Dusty Baker. One of Hamilton's three-hit starts came against the talent-depleted Astros on Sept. 18. Another included a bunt single and an infield hit vs. the Pirates on Sept. 22.
To the point of the Reds putting Hamilton in position to avoid exposing his weaknesses, the switch-hitter saw only a single plate appearance from the right side. Throughout his ascension to the big leagues, Hamilton has struggled to hit right-handed, often posting a lower on-base percentage and a much worse strikeout-to-walk rate.
So while Hamilton has shown that he can, in fact, be a dynamic, disruptive force for the Reds in a small sample size, whether he will be ready to do so from Opening Day on in 2014 is far from a guarantee.
Even if Hamilton proves he's ready to contribute right away, the Reds are going to see a major impact on their lineup. Let's not forget, if Hamilton does hit in the top spot in Cincinnati's order, he'll have his work cut out for him in trying to replace Choo, who has become one of baseball's genuine on-base masters in recent years.
While hitting primarily leadoff last year, Choo owned a .423 OBP, which was only fourth-best in the sport. That helped Cincinnati produce an incredible .415 OBP from the No. 1 position in the lineup, which was far and away the best in baseball.
That's a big reason why the Reds offense was so very productive, including ranking in the top five in the National League in four very important aspects:
While that stolen base total and ranking is a given to increase—heck, Hamilton could notch 67 steals all by himself, even if his OBP is barely north of .300—the other elements that were so significant to Cincy's 90-win season are bound to drop off.
All of which brings us to where the Cincinnati lineup stands now that Choo is officially gone and Hamilton is expected to take his place.
Clearly, one of the better groups of bats in the Senior Circuit a year ago won't fall apart, not when the likes of first baseman Joey Votto, right fielder Jay Bruce and second baseman Brandon Phillips still populate the front half of the one-through-nine. The return to health of left fielder Ryan Ludwick should help, too.
But even counting those four, the only starting players from 2013 who managed an OBP better than Bruce's .329 were Votto (.435) and Choo. In other words, the Reds need Hamilton to show he can use his legs to get on base via infield hits and bunts—in addition to walks and regular singles and extra-base hits—at least 33 to 35 percent of the time.
That's still well below Choo's efforts, but it would allow Hamilton to utilize his speed as a weapon and, more importantly, it would be an on-base percentage the big bats behind him could work with.
If not, Cincinnati's lineup won't be able to maintain its standing in the top third—or maybe even the top half—of the NL in runs. With Choo out of the picture, there are other lineups that look better than the Reds' does right now, including those of the Cardinals, Rockies, Braves, Nationals, Dodgers and perhaps the Diamondbacks.
The Reds, remember, had a successful 2013 overall, but their 90 wins were only good enough for third place in the NL Central and a trip to the Wild Card Game, which they lost to their division mate Pittsburgh Pirates.
Any sort of slippage in 2014 could mean Cincinnati finishes closer to .500, and thus falls short of October. That's a lot to put on a young, inexperienced kid like Hamilton—no matter how quick he is.
The Reds, then, better hope Hamilton is as fast a learner as he is a runner.

About us
St Clare's specialises in teaching the International Baccalaureate Diploma, University-level academic courses, and English as a Foreign Language.
Advancing international education since 1953
St. Clare's, Oxford was founded by Anne Dreydel OBE and Pamela Morris in 1953, and grew out of a scheme to establish links between British and European students after the Second World War. The original name was The Oxford English Centre for Foreign Students, which later became St. Clare's Hall, and then St. Clare's, Oxford. The College grew quickly to encompass a wide range of nationalities and programmes, both at university and pre-university level and in English Language. In the mid-50s, students came mostly from around a dozen Western European countries, as well as the UK. Nowadays there are 50 nationalities represented on the IB programme alone.
As well as longer courses of study, shorter summer courses also became a central feature of the College in the early days. Links with universities in the USA date back to the 1960s and formal agreements by which American university students could gain credit towards their US degrees by studying abroad at St. Clare's started up in the 1970s, and gradually replaced the University of London external degrees that had previously been taught.
In 1977 the College introduced the International Baccalaureate Diploma for pre-university students, only the 41st school in the world to do so. There are only 13 other institutions in the world who have taught the IB longer than us. A Levels were gradually phased out as the IB became established and we are now the longest established IB World School in England.
St Clare's, Oxford remains faithful to its original mission which is to advance international education and understanding.
St Clare's today
The College campus has grown with the increase in student numbers. From its original base in 141 Banbury Road, the College expanded to allow more teaching space and a wider range of subject choices. Early homestay arrangements were largely replaced with residential accommodation as new houses in the area were acquired and refurbished, and in 1999 the College bought the Oxford Academy site in Bardwell Road, which became the International College offering adult courses.
A new residence and art studio was completed in November 2015 at a cost of £5.5million. The building provides separate housing for male and female students in ensuite study bedrooms around an Oxford-style courtyard with a large square lawn. The uncompromisingly modern new buildings manage to complement the old, historic house, which is at the centre of the development.
The new £3.3m Science and Mathematics building was completed in September 2014 providing three science laboratories and prep rooms, three large classrooms for Mathematics lessons, and a new maintenance facility. Named after Pamela Morris, one of the founders of the college in 1953, the building was carefully designed to complement the surrounding Victorian and Edwardian architecture.
In 2008, we purchased a very large residence next to the main campus buildings. Completed in 2010 at a cost of £1.3 million, the house holds 24 students plus warden and features many energy efficient measures — rain water is harvested, the house has been super-insulated, and the lights are motion-sensitive so that electricity is not wasted.
Continuing to combine fun and learning for young and adult international students
The College continues to improve and grow. IB students are achieving their required grades and are being offered places at their chosen universities. Younger students coming to us for their summer holiday courses continue to recommend us to their friends, a clear indicator that our courses combine holiday fun with study success. Our adult students are undertaking more in-depth and challenging courses with a clear target of improving their future studies and careers.

Schleicher Condor
Condor 4
The Condor was designed by Heini Dittmar with the advice and help of Atexander Lippisch and Dipl-lng Fritz Kramer; the Condor owed something to an earlier sailplane, the 19m (62ft 3.5in) span Fafnir. Dittmar built the prototype Condor in a workshop at Wasserkuppe in his spare time and it made its debut in the 1932 Rhon gliding contest, which it won; its very clean lines aroused considerable interest, and it went into series production.
In its original form, the Condor 1, the high-set gull wings were braced with V-struts and had strengthened leading edges, and the Condor 2, developed in 1935, had a new wing section of reduced thickness/chord ratio on the outer parts of the wings, living an improved glide angle and lower rate of sink at higher speeds. This version set a new world distance record of 303 miles in 1935 and was a well-known type at prewar gliding contests. The Condor itself was of conventional wood and fabric construction, with very long span ailerons and a landing skid under the fuselage; no monowheel was fitted.
In February 1934 a Condor was taken to South America and, flown by Heini Dittmar, set a new world altitude record of 14,272ft for sailplanes, breaking the previous record by nearly 6,000ft. The Condor 3, which appeared in 1938 and was built by Schleicher, had a longer, slimmer fuselage and strengthened cantilever wings which now incorporated DFS air brakes. After the war Heini Dittmar formed his own company, Mowe-Flugzeugbau Heini Dittmar, and there developed a tandem two-seater version, the Condor 4, which first flew in 1953 and was very similar to the Mk 3 apart from the second seat.
Eighteen were built.

Bread is a mainstay in many cultures, and a staple food in many people's diets. Its form has also evolved over the years. Whether it is sandwiches with ham and cheese or peanut butter or toast lathered with jam and butter, the convenience of modern sliced bread has made it part of our eating habits today. But how did sliced bread come about?
Before the 20th century, people either made their own bread at home or bought bread in loaves at the local bakery. Whenever anyone wanted a piece of bread, he would have to cut off a slice from the loaf. However, by the first decade of the 20th century, things were about to change.
In 1912, Otto Frederick Rohwedder, a jeweler in St. Joseph, Missouri, began experimenting with the idea of bread-slicing machine. Rohwedder was born on 6 July, 1880 in Des Moines. He grew up in Davenport, Iowa and entered the Northern Illinois College of Ophthalmology and Otology in Chicago, where he received a degree in optics in 1900. After graduation, Rohwedder pursued a career as a jeweler, opening and operating three jewelry stores of his own in St. Joseph.
Firm in his belief about the potential success of such a machine, Rohwedder sold his jewelry business to raise funds for his new venture. Over the next decade, he worked on several designs and prototypes but to no avail. In November 1917, a fire destroyed the factory that was to have produced the first machine, as well as Rohwedder's design plans.
Instead of giving up, Rohwedder went around asking for new investment funds to try again. He also worked as an investment and security agent to financially sustain his family. In the course of fine-tuning his design, Rohwedder knew that he had to find a way to prevent the sliced bread from going stale. In 1928, Rohwedder finally succeeded in solving that problem by making a bread slicing machine that could also wrap the bread. He applied for a patent for his design and established the company Mac-Roh Sales & Manufacturing to produce and sell the machine.
Despite initial skepticism about the bread slicer from commercial bakers who felt that sliced bread would turn stale quickly, Rohwedder convinced a baker friend, M. Frank Bench of Chillicothe Baking Company in Missouri, to try out the machine. Hence, on 7 July 1928, bread, which had been sliced and wrapped by the machine, was commercially sold for the first time. The "Kleen Maid Sliced Bread" was very well-received by the public as customers liked the convenience of having evenly sliced pieces to make toast and sandwiches. During the sales, it was advertised as "the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped." (This was what subsequently led to the popular phrase "the greatest thing since sliced bread".)
Subsequently, Gustav Papendick, a baker in St. Louis, Missouri, bought the bread slicer and improved on it, such that it could both slice and wrap the bread in such a way to keep the bread fresh. Papendick's method was to lay the sliced pieces aligned on a cardboard tray to allow mechanised wrapping to take place.
In 1930, the Continental Baking Company used the machine to introduce the sliced Wonder Bread, which became very popular among consumers. By 1933, many bakeries in America had acquired the bread slicer and were selling more sliced bread than unsliced ones. With the ease of getting slices of bread, more and more people began to consume bread. This also helped to promote the use of the electric toaster and bread spreads like jam.
In 1929, due to financial problems arising from the Great Depression, Rohwedder had to sell the rights to his invention to the Micro-Westco Company, though the company also employed him to serve as the vice-president of the Rohwedder Bakery Machine division. Subsequently known as "the father of sliced bread", Rohwedder was often invited to speak to groups around the country. He died in Concord, Michigan, on 8 November 1960.
One of the first models of his original slicing machine is now housed at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
As a sidenote to this story, the electric toaster was actually invented before the bread slicer. Prior to its invention, bread was toasted by putting it on a metal frame which was placed over a fire or holding it near the fire with a long-handled tool.
The first electric bread toaster was invented by Maddy Kennedy in 1872, though the reliability of the machine and that electricity was not widely available did not make it commercially successful. In 1919, Charles Strite invented the first automatic pop-up toaster. The ability to simultaneously heat both sides of the bread within a designated time made it a convenient household appliance.
With the subsequent appearance of the machine-sliced bread in 1928, the electric toaster changed our bread-eating habits which have lasted till today.

The Mac Cárthaigh Riabhach (anglicised MacCarthy Reagh) dynasty are a branch of the MacCarthy dynasty, Kings of Desmond, deriving from the Eóganacht Chaisil sept.
The Mac Cárthaigh Riabhach seated themselves as kings of Carbery in what is now southwestern County Cork including Rosscarbery in the 13th century.[1][2] Their primary allies in the initially small territory itself were O'Donovans,[1] and members of the Ui Chairpre; both were recent arrivals, gaining their lands from the O'Mahonys of Eóganacht Raithlind and the O'Driscolls of Corcu Loígde. The historical record for this period is very confused and a precise sequence of events cannot be reconstructed. A portion of Carbery was conquered around 1232 by Donal Gott MacCarthy, King of Desmond, from whom the dynasty descend. His son Donal Maol Mac Carthaigh, was the first ruler of the new principality. Their descendants would expand their territories considerably and forge a small, wealthy kingdom distinct and independent from the larger Kingdom of Desmond, as well as largely independent from the Earldom of Desmond and from England, which would last into the early-mid 17th century.
Fínghin Mac Carthaigh, the victor for Gaelic Desmond in the Battle of Callann and other campaigns, is considered to belong to the Mhic Carthaigh Riabhach, being a son of Donal Gott.[3] They were in frequent conflict with the line of the MacCarthy Mor, and the MacCarthys of Duhallow and Coshmaine, all of which were generally in conflict with the Fitzgeralds and FitzMaurices which comprised the lines of the Earl of Desmond and the Earl of Kildare, respectively.
The dynasty became very successful during the 14th to 16th centuries, accumulating great wealth and possessing what was at times the most formidable, although not the largest army in the Desmond region. MacCarthy Reagh princes such as Florence MacCarthy were highly active in the politics and wars of Munster. A later branch from Bansha, County Tipperary, descendants of Donal of the Pipes, would relocate to Toulouse in France and be created the Counts MacCarthy Reagh of Toulouse (Comtes de Mac-Carthy Reagh).[4][5] The renowned Jesuit preacher Nicholas Tuite MacCarthy was from this line. From another branch of the dynasty descended several more lines of counts and viscounts in France.
Florence MacCarthy was the compiler of Mac Carthaigh's Book,[6] and the Book of Lismore was commissioned by an earlier member of the dynasty.[7]
The controversial Blessed Thaddeus McCarthy is believed to have belonged to the MacCarthys Reagh.[8]
The line of the Mac Carthaigh Riabhach was not represented among the Gaelic nobility of Ireland granted courtesy recognition. In the wake of the MacCarthy Mór scandal there remains much controversy surrounding the reestablishment of titles used more than 400 years ago. However, as several branches of the sept are known to exist today, it is possible that a legitimate successor as Chief of the Name of MacCarthy Reagh of Carbery may arise. There are a few purportedly known branches of the dynasty alive today, to include the McCarthys of Dunmanway, the McCarthys of Gortnascreeny, the McCarthys of Drinagh, and the descendants of the Bernard-Leader McCarthys listed in O'Hart's Irish Pedigrees.
Princes of Carbery[9]
- Donal Gott MacCarthy – King of Desmond and founder of the dynasty
- Fínghin Mac Carthaigh, King of Desmond – victor at the Battle of Callann[3]
- Donal Maol MacCarthy, 1st Prince of Carbery – 1st Sovereign Prince of Carbery
- Donal Caomh MacCarthy, 2nd Prince of Carbery
- Donal Cairbreach MacCarthy, 3rd Prince of Carbery – eldest son of Donal Caomh
- Cormac Donn MacCarthy, 4th Prince of Carbery – second son of Donal Caomh, and ancestor of the Dunmanway branch
- Donal Reagh MacCarthy, 5th Prince of Carbery – a quo MacCarthy Reagh, son of Donal Cairbreach
- Donal Glas MacCarthy Reagh, 6th Prince of Carbery – eldest son of Donal Reagh
- Donogh of Iniskean MacCarthy Reagh, 7th Prince of Carbery – second surviving son of Donal Reagh
- Dermod an Duna MacCarthy Reagh, 8th Prince of Carbery – third surviving son of Donal Reagh
- Cormac MacCarthy Reagh, 9th Prince of Carbery – son of Donogh of Iniskean
- Finghin MacCarthy Reagh, 10th Prince of Carbery – commissioner of the Book of Lismore, eldest son of Dermod an Duna
- Dermod MacCarthy Reagh, 11th Prince of Carbery – second son of Dermod an Duna
- Donal MacCarthy Reagh, 12th Prince of Carbery – Dermod's nephew, the son of Finghin
- Cormac na Haoine MacCarthy Reagh, 13th Prince of Carbery – eldest son of Donal
- Finghin MacCarthy Reagh, 14th Prince of Carbery – second son of Donal
- Donogh MacCarthy Reagh, 15th Prince of Carbery – third son of Donal
- Owen MacCarthy Reagh, 16th Prince of Carbery – fourth son of Donal
- Donal na Pipi, 17th Prince of Carbery – son of Cormac na Haoine, last Prince of Carbery.
- Cormac MacCarthy Reagh – son of Donal na Pipi, predeceased his father
- Owen MacCarthy Reagh – second son of Donal na Pipi, founder of the Springhouse sept
MacCarthy Glas/Duna
As patrilineal descendants of the 4th Prince, but not the 5th Prince, the MacCarthys of Dunmanway, belonging to the MacCarthy Glas[10][11][12] and MacCarthy Duna[13][14] septs, are not technically MacCarthys Reagh. However, most historians and genealogists refer to all descendants of Donal Gott as MacCarthys Reagh, and it is the case that, should the "senior line", descendants of the 5th Prince, fail, then the MacCarthys of Dunmanway would become the "new" Princes of Carbery.
- Teige-an-Fhorsa MacCarthy, Lord of Glean-na-Chroim
- Teige-an-Duna MacCarthy, Lord of Glean-na-Chroim – ancestor of several surviving septs

|[jira] Updated: (AXIS2-4662) Improve Spring Integration for Axis2
|Sat, 03 Apr 2010 19:03:27 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4662?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Stephan van Hugten updated AXIS2-4662: -------------------------------------- Attachment: axis2-spring-core.zip As a final thing before we start the new subproject I added an optional boolean attribute to my webServiceAnnotationConfig element; createClients. If 'true' the WebServiceAnnotationConfigParser will also create a client bean for the service bean with the name <servicename>Client as detailed in the ServiceClientFactoryBean class. Furthermore I cleaned up my code and documented it. > Improve Spring Integration for Axis2 > ------------------------------------ > > Key: AXIS2-4662 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4662 > Project: Axis2 > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: kernel > Affects Versions: 1.5.1 > Reporter: Stephan van Hugten > Attachments: axis2-spring-core.zip, POC_Axis2.zip > > > I wanted to create an application that has tight integration between Axis2 webservices and Spring. There is already a solution presented at the Axis2 website, http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_5_1/spring.html, but I found that solution very cumbersome in my opinion and doesn't support the JSR 181 annotations. > With my proposed approach it is possible to fully integrate the Axis2 run-time with a spring container, whether it is stand-alone or in a web server such as Tomcat. This solution also supports both the JSR 181 annotated classes and the regular AAR-files. > To fully integrate Axis2 with Spring I have overridden the SimpleAxis2Server class used by the standard stand-alone run-time. A full listing of this class is included in my example application. > The important stuff is in line 21 up to 36. First it determines the absolute path of the repository and config location parameters. Then it passes those to the AxisRunner constructor (lines 10 to 13) and starts the server. After it successfully starts the Axis2 server it returns the bean to the Spring Container. > After the creation of the bean it will invoke setDeployedWebservices (lines 46 to 51) which will cycle through the passed webservice classes and deploy them at the created run-time. That's it! No additional configuration or packaging is needed. If the Spring container starts up, so does the Axis2 run-time and the webservices get deployed. > The needed configuration in order to integrate Axis2 is quite simple. Below is a complete listing of my applicationContext.xml (Spring 2.5.6): > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <beans xmlns="namespace stuff"> > > <bean name="axisServer" class="com.example.poc.server.AxisRunner" factory-method="create" scope="singleton"> > <constructor-arg value="repository" /> > <constructor-arg value="config/axis2.xml" /> > <property name="deployedWebservices"> > <props> > <prop key="WeatherSpringService"> > com.example.poc.webservice.WeatherSpringService > </prop> > </props> > </property> > </bean> > </beans> > With a little bit more effort I think it's also possible to integrate this solution with the Spring component scan, making it possible to annotate the webservice classes and the run-time with @component. I have tested my war-project with Tomcat 6 and Sun Webserver 7. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Wigsley history
Before your eyes lies history, part of the famous Lincolnshire "bomber" county. This abandoned and forgotten building is Wiglsey control tower, still standing but in a state of disrepair.
I do not claim to know anything about Wiglsey, World War 2 or Lincolnshire, you can use the internet to seek knowledge. I present to you what it is today.
My first challenge was looking around this building, it's all open fields but the bottom floor is all sealed.
This image was taken using a technique often called HDR, but in essence it's called bracketing on your camera. I will talk more of this in posts to come….
