Genre: Drama
Stars: 2.5 out of 5
Jeff Buckley, upset at the fact that his famous musician father abandoned him, is asked to play his father's songs at a tribute concert. Jeff, who dabbles a bit in music but is not famous for his musical skills yet, reluctantly agrees and proceeds to stun everybody by not just recreating his father's magic but by highlighting his own musical talent and skill as well. The feeling that Jeff's anger is, to a certain extent, released in the course of his tribute to his estranged father is palpable at the end of "Greetings from Tim Buckley" even if you do not know anything about the tragic history of the Buckley family.
Unlike other biopics and semi-biopics about musicians and other famous personalities, "Greetings from Tim Buckley" does not underplay the undesirable and unpalatable aspects of the personalities involved in the movie. The movie does not try to explain why Tim Buckley (Ben Rosenfeld) abandons his wife and son.
Director Daniel Algrant, in a bold move, does not use the license that a semi-fictionalized biopic offers to attribute the tragedy to the eccentricities of a genius whose actions cannot be comprehended by ordinary individuals. Instead, Tim Buckley's abandonment of his family forms a small part of the overall story as the movie focuses on its impact on Tim's son Jeff (Penn Badgley).
Jeff's latent anger at his father, undiminished over the years, comes out in the open when his input is sought for a tribute concert being organized for his father. He openly questions his capacity to contribute to the concert and bluntly states that he hardly knew his father.
Moody, brooding, and lonely, Jeff agrees to participate primarily because he considers it a chance to display his own musical talent. Upon meeting performers who had worked with his father, Jeff struggles to control his sense of hurt and proceeds to vent his feelings without any regard for the consequences.
Penn Badgley stands out for a controlled performance as a hurt and sad youngster with ambivalent feelings about his father. He manages to convey the inability of talented musicians to conform to the rules of ordinary people leading normal and routine lives. Penn is convincingly unlikeable when he is ranting against famous rock stars of the past or being rude and offensive towards Allie (Imogen Poots), thereby destroying a friendship that was on the verge of becoming a romantic relationship.
Allie's character is a fictional inclusion and adds cheer and lighthearted frivolity to the movie's serious mood. She is attracted to Tim, and their friendship blooms into romance, which, after a few mishaps, has a happy conclusion. Her presence compels Tim to look beyond his complaints about life, which contributes to the sizzling musical finale at the climax. One cannot help but see black humor in the fact that the girl who finally brings a bit of cheer into Jeff's life is one who had a serious crush on his eccentric and dazzling father as well.
The director smartly avoids monotony by shifting attention from the son to the father. We see glimpses of Tim's musical talent along with his tendency to indulge in affairs and casual relationships despite being married. It is left to the audience to determine whether Tim's musical legacy is overshadowed by his poor treatment of his wife and son.
The movie could have easily ended up as a boring emotional drama about an angry son and an errant father. However, these aspects of the plot merely serve as the backdrop for the movie's biggest highlight-the concert. The director put in a lot of effort to recreate the concert in the most realistic manner possible. The fact that the movie showcases Tim's tribute as well as concerts performed by Jeff Buckley makes this movie an enjoyable experience for all who love good music. This aspect of the movie is clearly the most enjoyable part.
Despite such an unhappy premise, "Greetings from Tim Buckley" (trailer here!) is not a gloomy or tragic movie. Rather, it is a story about a unique family where a son inherits his father's talents and gains recognition and respect through the contributions of his father. The movie has a positive message as Jeff settles his grudges against his father by exploring himself and discovering the capacity to forgive. The movie acts as a tribute to the capacity of music to heal old wounds and trauma.

Ask-a-Salty is the nifty feature where you ask the questions and we give you the answers. If you have a question about training, racing or running in general ask us here and maybe you'll be featured in our next Ask-a-Salty post!
Today's question comes from Jackie who, like Mint, just ran a big PR in Chicago. (Big congrats, Jackie!!!) She asks:
Chicago was my second marathon, I have my third marathon on the calendar for the end of February. What is the best way for me to recover from Chicago while transitioning into a new training cycle? I have 18 weeks until RnR New Orleans. Thank you in advance for any thoughts you might have!
If your next race is 18 weeks from now that means you have 20 weeks between Chicago and your next race in New Orleans. Here's what I recommend to ease the transition from marathon recovery back up to marathon training.
I recommend you do 8 weeks of recovery to base building followed by a 12 week marathon training plan. (With 18 weeks to go, you, Jackie, will be in week 3 of this plan.) Remember, you want to be sure you're recovered and strong when you start your next training plan! Giving yourself 8 weeks to recover and slowly increase your miles back up without over-stressing your body is key.
Speaking of this training plan, it should be a modest increase in mileage from the plan you used for Chicago. If you peaked at 50 miles per week for Chicago, then a reasonable mileage peak for New Orleans would be 60 miles per week. I will breakdown the 8 week recovery to base-building phase and from there you can jump into your 12 week training plan for the next marathon! The same approach can be used between half-marathons or even for someone preparing to train to race their first half or full marathon. I'd cut the long runs back by 2 miles per run for half-training, though.
Week 1: 0 miles. ZERO. NOTHING. No cross-training other than some light walking. Maybe some light stretching or yoga if that's your thing, but otherwise give your muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones and brain a little time to recharge.
Week 2: 5 short runs. I'd keep these all very easy and under an hour in duration.
Week 3: Run 50% of your goal mileage peak for your next training cycle. That means if you are planning to peak at 60 miles per week in your training for New Orleans, run 30 miles this week. Make them ALL easy again, except do 6 x 30 second strides with full recovery within 2 runs (we'll call these "runs with strides" and they are to be done on any run other than your long run. Also, make sure to have at least one day off or a run with no strides in between stride runs).
Week 4: Run 60% of your goal mileage peak. Run easy again for most runs except the 2 runs with strides. Make one run an easy 10 miler. 36 miles total using our example.
Week 5: Run 70% of your goal mileage peak with 2 runs with strides and one run a 12 miler. 42 miles total using our example.
Week 6: Run 80% of your goal mileage peak with 2 runs with strides and one run a 13 miler. 48 miles total using our example.
Week: 7: Run 80% of your goal mileage peak with 2 runs with strides and one run a 14 miler 48 miles total using our example.
Week 8: Run 90% of your goal mileage peak with 2 runs with strides and one run a 14 miler. 54 miles total using our example.
Week 9: Begin 12 week training plan for New Orleans!
It's ok if your 12 week training plan has you step back in mileage for the first couple of weeks as it will likely be introducing new intensity (harder running) to the mix.
Good luck, Jackie! Let us know how it goes!!!
What say you Salty Readers? How do you transition from recovery after one big race to training for the next one?

Community takes fight for rail to the Supreme Court
Rail corridor between Glenfield and Macarthur earmarked for medium density
Rail Trail boost to tourism - and local economy
Newcastle rail case may be long wait
Save Our Rail questions semantics argument over rail line cut
North West Rail Link corridor to extend through to Marsden Park
Camurra West to Weemelah Line Booked Out of Use
Rail Trail full steam ahead
John Holland Commissions Electronic Train Orders
Closure of Newcastle rail stations not technically a closure of whole line, State Government lawyer says
The movement towards turning the long closed Great Northern Railway into a recreation trail has taken a step forward. Glen Innes Severn Council is to establish a committee of interested parties to discuss the costs and benefits of declaring the line finally closed in law and turning it into a hiking, biking and riding trail.
Proponents say it would bring millions of dollars of tourism money into the region - one backer called cycle tourists "wallets on bikes". There would also be benefits for local people in terms of just providing an amenity for recreation and physical well-being.
Opponents say the decision would close for good the possibility of bringing rail back between Armidale and Wallangarra. As one anti put it on Facebook: "A railway destroying bike track would not be the economic saviour as inanely claimed by some rail trail advocates".
As a step forward, Glen Innes Severn Council has invited "interested members of our community" to be part of a new committee that will consider the possibility of a rail trail project through the council area.
Mayor Steve Toms said the council would work with the New England Rail Trail which is campaigning for the project. "There is a need for community discussion around the cost and economic benefit from the development of a section of rail trail that has been identified as running between Armidale and Wallangarra, a 210 kilometre journey through the Northern Tablelands".
There's no doubt a trail would be spectacular, particularly in the high ground and no doubt, either, that it would be costly (though the idea is to tap into New South Wales state funds). On one estimate the trail would cost $80,000 to $110,000 per kilometer. Peter Teschner, Glen Innes Severn Council's manager of tourism and events said: "A community advisory committee is needed to bring a regional perspective to the issue and determine if it is a realistic goal for a possible funding application".
The crucial issue is where the closed line would cease being designated as a railway. Under the law, rails cannot be ripped up until the law is changed, and the track for bikes, people and horses could not be constructed before that happened.
David Mills one of the leading campaigners for the trail said it would be a way for people to truly appreciate the history of the railway: "The railway was opened in 1884 and built with picks, hands, shovels, blood, sweat and tears. It would be wonderful to have it reconnect our communities again".

Here are 5 important tasks you should complete to ensure that your home is as protected from disaster as possible:
Turn Off the Main Water Supply – Unless someone is house-sitting for you, it's wise to turn off the water supply in your home. A leak could wind up becoming disastrous, especially if no one is around to take care of it right away. Turning off the main water supply can help prevent floods and unexpected water damage from happening while you're on vacation.
It's best to have a plumber install a ¾-turn valve at the shut off in your home to make this task easier and not run the risk of breaking the main shut-off, which isn't meant to be turned on and off frequently.
Regulate the Temperature – Before you head out the door, make sure that your thermostat is set to accommodate the outside temperature. In the summer, set it at a higher temperature but don't turn it off completely. This will help you save money while still keeping the indoor humidity at a reasonable level to impede mold growth. It will also help protect your home from the effects of excessively warm temperatures, which could cause your wood flooring to expand and buckle and any wooden doors to close improperly.
In the winter, turn the thermostat to a lower temperature, but it's wise to keep it above 60 degrees so that pipes do not burst while you're gone.
Check the Sump Pump – Rainwater can also be catastrophic, especially if your sump pump fails and a major storm appears while you're out. Ensure that your sump pump is working properly before you leave; otherwise, you could find yourself coming home to a flooded basement. Simply pour a bucket of water into the pit to check its efficiency – the pump should turn on when the pit fills with water.
Unplug Small Appliances and Electronics – Avoid any potential power surges and save a bit of money on your electric bill by unplugging small appliances and electronics before going on vacation. If your televisions, computers, laptops, and other electronics are plugged directly into a wall instead of a surge protector, simply pull the plugs. If they are plugged into a surge protector, just flip the switch to power it off. The only items you should refrain from unplugging are the freezer, refrigerator, and any items you've put on timers.
Test Your Smoke Detectors – If a fire breaks out, someone needs to be notified right away. Check that your smoke detectors work and that they have enough battery power before you step out the door. In the same vein, ask a family member, a close friend, or a trusted neighbor to keep an eye on your home while you're gone. He or she can intercede by notifying the authorities if a disaster happens.
Sometimes, no matter how prepared you are, disaster can still strike your home. If something does occur while you're out on vacation, give the experts at Claria Clean a call. We offer residential and commercial cleaning, along with disaster restoration for whenever the inevitable occurs. Learn more about us by visiting our website at www.clariaclean.com.

Chapter 1: Problems and Methods of Psychology
James Rowland Angell
Table of Contents | Next | Previous
Definition of Psychology.-- Psychology is commonly defined as the science of consciousness. It is the business of a science systematically to describe and explain the phenomena with which it is engaged. Chemistry, physics, and the various branches of biology all attempt to deal in this manner with some special portion of the facts or processes of nature. Mental facts, or facts of consciousness, constitute the field of psychology.
The Nature of Consciousness.-- Consciousness we can only define in terms of itself. Sensations, ideas, pains, pleasures, acts of memory, imagination, and will-these may serve to illustrate the experiences we mean to indicate by the term; and our best endeavour to construct a successful definition results in some such list, of which we can only say: " These taken together are what I mean by consciousness." A psychological treatise is really an attempt to furnish the essentials for such a catalogue.
It is generally maintained that despite our difficulty in framing a satisfactory definition of consciousness, we can at least detect one or two of its radical differences from the physical objects which make up the rest of our cosmos.
(2) These latter always possess position and extension, i.e., they occupy space. Psychical facts, or events, never do; on the other hand they possess one characteristic which, so far as we know, is wholly wanting to physical facts, in that they exist for themselves, A man not only has sensations and ideas, he knows that he has them. A stone or other physical object has no such knowledge of its own existence or of its own experiences. Yet, whatever may be the value of these distinctions, we need entertain no real fear of encountering tiny serious misapprehension of the inner nature of consciousness, for each one of us experiences it every day for himself and each is thus fitted to discuss it with some measure of accuracy.
Former Definitions of Psychology. -- Formerly psychology was often defined as the- science of the soul. But the word soul generally implies something above and beyond the thoughts and feelings of which we are immediately conscious; and as it is these latter phenomena with which psychology is primarily engaged, this definition is now rarely used by careful writers. Psychology is also defined at times as the science of mind. The objection to this definition is that the word mind ordinarily implies a certain continuity, unity, and personality, which is, indeed, characteristic of normal human beings; but which may, for all we can see, be wholly lacking in certain unusual psychical experiences like those of insanity, or those of dream states, and may be wanting at times in animals. All consciousness everywhere, normal or abnormal, human or animal, is the subject matter which the psychologist attempts to describe and explain; and no definition of his science is wholly acceptable which designates more or less than just this.
The Procedure of the Psychologist. -- In his description of conscious processes the psychologist attempts to point out the characteristic features of each distinguishable group of facts and of each member of such groups, and to show how they
(3) differ from one another. Thus, for example, the general group known as "sensations" would be described and marked off from the groups known as "feelings"; and the peculiarities of each form of sensation, such as the visual and tactile forms, would be described and distinguished from one another and from those belonging to the auditory form. The psychologist's explanations consist chiefly in showing (1) bow complex psychical conditions are made up of simpler ones, (2) how the various psychical groups which he has analysed grow and develop, and finally (3a) how these various conscious processes are connected with physiological activities, and (3b) with objects or events in the social and physical world constituting the environment.
The Fields of Psychology. -- In this book we shall be primarily concerned with the facts of normal human consciousness, its constitution, its modes of operation, and its development. But we shall avail ourselves, wherever possible, of useful material from the allied fields of child psychology, abnormal psychology, social psychology, and animal psychology.
Child psychology is occupied with the study of the mental processes of infants and young children, with special reference to the facts of growth. Abnormal psychology has to do (1) with the study of the unusual phases of conscious process, such as are met with in trance, hallucinations, hypnotism, etc.; and is concerned (2) with the more definitely diseased forms of mentality, such as characterise insanity. Social psychology, in its broadest sense, has to do mainly with the psychological principles involved in those expressions of mental life which take form in social relations, organisations, and practices, e. g., the mental attributes of crowds and mobs as contrasted with the mental characteristics of the individuals constituting them. A branch of social psychology, often known as folk psychology, or race psychology, is concerned with the psychical attributes of peoples, especially
(4) those of primitive groups as contrasted with civilised nations. Animal psychology is engaged with the study of consciousness, wherever, apart from man, its presence can be detected throughout the range of organic life. The four last-mentioned branches of psychology taken together are sometimes spoken of as comparative psychology, in distinction from the psychology which describes facts concerning normal adult human beings. Those phases of psychology which touch particularly upon the phenomena of development, whether racial or individual, are sometimes spoken of as genetic psychology.
The Methods of Psychology. (1) Introspection. -- The fundamental psychological method is introspection. Introspection means looking inward, as its derivation indicates. As a psychological method it consists simply in the direct examination of one's own mental processes. Much mystery has been made of the fact that the mind can thus stand off and observe its own operations, and criticism has been lavishly devoted to proving the impossibility of securing scientific knowledge in any such fashion as this. But it is an undeniable fact that by means of memory we are made aware of our mental acts, and we can trace in this manner by careful and systematic observation many of the rudimentary facts and principles peculiar to human consciousness. When a number of -us cooperate in such introspective observation, we greatly augment the exactness and the breadth of our results, and the accepted doctrines of psychology have actually been established by the successive observations of many investigators in much this manner.
(2) Direct Objective Observation. -- Moreover, we are able to supplement introspection by immediate objective observation of other individuals. It is thus possible, for example, to detect much which is most characteristic of the emotions, such as anger and fear, by watching the actions of persons about us and noting their expressions, their gestures, etc.
(5) The facts which we thus obtain must of course be interpreted in terms of our direct knowledge of our own experience, gained introspectively. But such observation of others often makes us sensitive to psychological processes in ourselves, which we should otherwise overlook. Finally, it is clear that our psychological facts, whether gained from observation of ourselves, or of others, before they can become of scientific value, must be made the subject of careful reflection and systematic arrangement; otherwise they would be purely haphazard, disconnected fragments, with no more meaning than any other collection of odds and ends. The need of such orderly reasoned arrangement is no more and no less true of the psychological facts gained by observations of others, or by introspection, than it is of physical facts discovered in any realm of science. The facts of gravity had been noticed again and again, but it required the ordering mind of a Newton to set them in intelligent array. Whenever we speak of direct observation, or of introspection, as methods, we shall understand, therefore, this systematic and scientific use of the terms. All the other psychological methods which we shall mention are simply developments of introspection, either in the direction of systematising and perfecting its employment, or of applying its results interpretatively in fields not open to its immediate application; for example, the field of animal consciousness.
(3) Experiment. -- Experimental psychology, sometimes spoken of as " the new psychology," or the " laboratory psychology," is perhaps the most vigorous and characteristic psychological method of the present day. It is simply an ingenious system for bringing introspection under control, so that its results can be verified by different observers, just as the result of a chemical experiment may be verified by anyone who will repeat the conditions. In every branch of science an experiment consists in making observations of phenomena under conditions of control, so that one may know just what
(6)causes are at work in producing the results observed. A psychological experiment is based on precisely the same principle.
(4) Physiological Psychology and (5) Psychophysics. -- Physiological psychology and psychophysics, which are both closely connected, in spirit and in fact, with experimental psychology, are especially devoted to investigating the relations between consciousness on the one hand, and the nervous system and the physical world on the other. Much of physiological psychology, and all of psychophysics, is experimental so far as concerns the methods employed. They both furnish information supplementary to that gathered by ordinary introspection.
The Psychologist's Standpoint. --In our study of mental pr ocesses we shall adopt the biological point of view just now dominant in psychology, and regard consciousness, not as a metaphysical entity to be investigated apart from other things, but rather as one among many manifestations of organic life, to be understood properly only when regarded in connection with life phenomena. We shall discover, as we go on, abundant reason for the belief that conscious processes and certain nervous processes are indissolubly bound up with one another in the human being. But at this point, without attempting to justify the assertion, we may lay it down as a basal postulate that the real human organism is a psychophysical organism, and that the mental portion of it is not to be completely or correctly apprehended without reference to the physiological portion. The psychophysical Organism is, moreover, a real unit. The separation of the mind from the body which we commonly make in thinking about them is a separation made in behalf of some one of our theoretical or practical interests, and as such, the separation is often serviceable. In actual life experience, however, the two things are never separated. Therefore, although our primary task is to analyse and explain mental facts, we shall attempt
(7) to do this in closest possible connection with their accompanying physiological processes.
Our adoption of the biological point of view, while it implies no disrespect for metaphysics, will mean not only that we shall study consciousness in connection with physiological processes wherever possible, but it will also mean that we shall regard all the operations of consciousness-all our sensations, all our emotions, and all our acts of will-as so many expressions of organic adaptations to our environment, an environment which we must remember is social as well as physical. To the biologist an organism represents a device for executing movements in response to the stimulations and demands of the environment. In the main these movements are of an organically beneficial character, otherwise the creature would perish. Mind seems to be the master device by means of which these adaptive operations of organic life may be made most perfect. We shall consequently attempt to see in what particulars the various features of consciousness contribute to this adaptive process. Let it not be supposed that such a point of view will render us oblivious, or insensitive, to the higher and more spiritual implications of consciousness. On the contrary, we shall learn to see 'these higher implications with their complete background, rather than in detachment and isolation.
Psychology and Natural Science. -- In one important particular the method of psychology follows the procedure of the natural sciences, such as physics, botany, and geology. Psychology takes for itself a certain definite domain, i. e., consciousness as a life process. Moreover, it starts out with certain assumptions, or postulates, as they are called, about its subject matter, which it refuses to challenge. The chemist, for example, never stops. to inquire whether matter really exists or is, simply an illusion. He assumes its reality without question, and forthwith goes about his business. So the psychologist assumes in a common-sense way the reality of
(8) mind and the reality of matter. Nor does he question that mind can know matter. These assumptions prevent the necessity of his untangling the metaphysical puzzles which are involved at these -points, and leave him free to investigate his field in a purely empirical way. He also attempts, wherever possible, to emulate the natural scientist's use of the idea of causation. Our most reliable forms of knowledge about nature are based upon our knowledge of cause and effect relations. A great deal of our chemical knowledge is in this way exceedingly precise and exact; whereas the lack of such knowledge renders much of our acquaintance with disease extremely superficial and unreliable.
The subject matter of psychology evidently brings it into a distinctly universal relation to all the other sciences, for these sciences are severally engaged in the development of knowledge, and the knowledge-process is itself one of the subjects in which psychology is most interested.
Psychology and Biology.-- Inasmuch as psychology is occupied with life phenomena, it is clearly most nearly related to the biological sciences. Indeed,, as a natural science it obviously belongs to the biological group. This relationship is as close in fact as it is in theory. The modern psychologist makes frequent use of material furnished him by the anatomist, the physiologist, the zoologist, and the alienist, and he gives them in return, when he can, such psychological facts as they find it necessary to employ.
Psychology and Philosophy. -- Psychology has developed historically out of philosophy, and although it is now in many ways practically independent, its relations with philosophy are necessarily very intimate. The connection is particularly close with those branches of philosophy commonly called normative, i. e., ethics, logic, and aesthetics. These inquiries are primarily concerned with questions of right and wrong, truth and error, beauty and ugliness. It is evident that the profitable discussion of such problems must involve a know
(9) -ledge of the mental operations employed when we make a right or wrong choice, when we reason falsely or truly, when we experience pleasure in listening to music, etc. In a sense, therefore, psychology furnishes the indispensable introduction to these several philosophical disciplines. It affords an acquaintance with the mental processes which lead respectively to conduct, to knowledge, and to the creation and appreciation of art. It thus enables an intelligent apprehension of the problems which arise in these spheres, and furnishes much of the material essential for their solution. A similar thing is true, though in a less conspicuous and obvious way, of the relation of psychology to metaphysics, and to that form of metaphysical inquiry which formerly was known as rational psychology.
By rational psychology was commonly understood the in quiry into the conditions rendering the existence of consciousness possible. Evidently these inquiries, i. e., rational psychology and metaphysics, together with what is known as epistemology, or the theory of knowledge, are engaged with just such problems as underlie the assumptions of psychology and the natural sciences, e. g., the reality of matter, its independence of mind, etc. It is on this account that metaphysics -which fundamentally represents an effort to solve the problem of the ultimate -nature of matter and mind and their relation to one another -- is said to be the science of sciences. Although metaphysics is in this sense more fundamental than psychology, and logically antecedent to it, it is so extensively concerned with mental processes that a knowledge of psychology is commonly recognised as practically indispensable for its effective conduct or apprehension. All these branches of philosophy clearly involve, as does psychology, the study of consciousness in a certain sense. But whereas these distinctly philosophical disciplines are primarily interested in Some one or another of the implications and products of thought processes, psychology is interested primarily in the
(10) constitution and operation of consciousness itself. We may. question whether ultimately there are any hard and fast lines severing these philosophical inquiries from one another and from psychology. The distinctions are perhaps rather practical than ultimate. One inquiry inevitably shades off into the others.
Psychology and Education.-- Psychology is related to educational theory in much the way that it is to ethics. It may be said to be related to actual educational procedure as theory is to practice. Education has as its function the symmetrical development of the powers of the individual. What the natural relation may be among these faculties, what are the laws of their -unfolding, what the judicious methods for their cultivation or repression-these and a thousand similar practical questions can be answered by the assistance of psychological observation, or else not at all. The result which we desire to attain in our educational system must be, in a considerable measure, determined by the social and ethical ideals we have in view. But the securing of the results, the realising of the ideals which we have set up, through our educational machinery-this must be accomplished, if we would work with true insight and not by blind experiment, through a real knowledge of human mental processes. We shall keep constantly before us in this book the facts of growth and the facts of adaptation to the demands of the environment. Clearly these are the facts of practical significance for educational procedure.

Iain Duncan Smith raps Eminem to attack Diane Abbott on 'Good Morning Britain'
Well, that's music ruined forever
As the race for the General Election 2017 marches on, Iain Duncan Smith surprised viewers of 'Good Morning Britain' today, when he rapped a verse of Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' to attack Diane Abbott.
The Conservative politician, formerly leader of the part Work And Pensions Secretary, appeared on ITV to take aim at the Labour MP for her disastrous radio interview last week in which she fluffed her speech when discussing police funding.
"Can we just take a moment because, just in the break there, one of the most iconic cultural moments I think I've ever experienced on this sofa," said presenter Piers Morgan, intoducing the Tory politician. "Ian Duncan Smith, perhaps the last person that you'd expect to know this, was talking about a message for Diane Abbott, which was when he began reciting lyrics from Eminem."
Smith replied: "I said that his 'Lose Yourself lyrics' are some lyrics for Diane Abbott. "It's halfway down and he says: 'He opens his mouth but the words don't come out. He's choking now and the clock's run out.'"
Watch the incident below.
Viewers then took to Twitter to react:
This summer sees Eminem return to the UK to headline Reading & Leeds Festival alongside Muse and Kasabian, as well a one-off headline gig at Glasgow's Summer Sessions.

A hotel is an establishment that provides lodging paid on a short-term basis. Facilities provided may range from a basic bed and storage for clothing, to luxury features like en-suite bathrooms. Larger hotels may provide additional guest facilities such as a swimming pool, business centre, childcare, conference facilities and social function services. Hotel rooms are usually numbered (or named in some smaller hotels and B&Bs) to allow guests to identify their room. Some hotels offer meals as part of a room and board arrangement. In the United Kingdom, a hotel is required by law to serve food and drinks to all guests within certain stated hours. In Japan, capsule hotels provide a minimized amount of room space and shared facilities.
The precursor to the modern hotel was the inn of medieval Europe. For a period of about 200 years from the mid-17th century, coaching inns served as a place for lodging for coach travelers. Inns began to cater for richer clients in the mid-18th century. One of the first hotels in a modern sense was opened in Exeter in 1768. Hotels proliferated throughout Western Europe and North America in the 19th century, and luxury hotels began to spring up in the later part of the century.
28 Hotel Rooms is an American feature film written and directed by Matt Ross and starring Chris Messina and Marin Ireland. It is Matt Ross' first feature film.
A novelist and a corporate accountant conduct an affair over a period of several years, meeting only when they are each traveling for work in a city far from their homes. The film takes a minimalist approach: it consists entirely of scenes between the two of them in hotel rooms.
Matt Ross' original idea was to make an intimate film about a relationship that would primarily focus on characters rather than plot. He stated that "the genesis of this movie came out of conversations I had with Chris Messina".
After two weeks of rehearsal, filming began in Los Angeles and continued for a week or two. During this time Marin Ireland was flying back and forth between Los Angeles and New York, where she was filming the HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce. The film was edited during the next couple of months and it was determined that certain additional scenes were needed to help further define the relationship between the two characters. These last remaining scenes were shot in New York over the course of about another week. Filming took in total about 18 days.
Hotel Rooms is a 2013 release from Tyson Illingworth, better known as tyDi. It is a compilation of his non-Dance Music tracks, some of which had been previously released. The album features the vocals of Tania Zygar, Audrey Gallagher, Kane, Luke Mansini, Carmen Keigans, and Christina Novelli.

SHOCKING PICS: Nurses ridicule dying patients
A NURSE is under investigation in Russia after posting pictures online mocking dying patients and boasting: "We tie them to beds."
Her images highlight a disturbing trend of medical staff using social media to abuse the sick, vulnerable and elderly.
The latest case involves nurse Anna Kim, who used cruel expletives to portray her elderly patients as filthy and disgusting.
She also alleged doctors in her hospital in Sakhalin, in Russia's east, "only help people they want to help".
She said: "If they don't want to help, you are doomed. They don't give a ****."
Ms Kim - who has not been sacked for her posts and outbursts - posed with an elderly female patient who was "gravely ill" in intensive care.
A hospital chief's daughter posted a picture of herself with a surgeon during a breast operation.
She said: "Some patients might go out of their minds …. we tie them to beds. But it's okay, this is life."
Concern is growing in Russia over similar pictures posted by nurses and doctors which are said to highlight abuses in the heath system.
A male gynaecologist in Syktyvkar, central Russia, posed with a patient during what seemed to be an intimate examination or medical procedure.
In Alexandrov, 100km northeast of Moscow, two intensive care nurses posed for pictures throwing hoops on the legs of an unconscious female patient.
The same pair - identified as Tatiana Katayeva and Marina Shibanova - were shown pretending to drink blood given by donors.
They were also seen fooling around on a hospital staircase, explaining: "It was all for a joke so that our profession doesn't look so sad.
"We work in intensive care … we wanted to show that medical personnel haven't lost their sense of humour and that they can behave like humans."
The two were given an official warning but allowed to continue in their jobs.
In Perm, central Russia, a 22-year-old medical student, the daughter of a hospital chief, posed with a colleague seconds after a breast implant surgery.
A fresh cut is seen on the patient after the implants were put in. The student's friends "liked" the picture after she posted it online.
Meanwhile in Demidovskaya hospital in Nizhni Tagil, central Russia, a nurse posed alongside a surgeon as their helpless patient lay under anaesthetic moments after a surgical cut had been made on his body.
It caused a scandal in Russia but the pair kept their jobs.
And back in 2014, in Kazan, central Russia, nurse Gulnaz Yalalova, then 20, posed with a broad smile while holding a removed spleen.
She posted it on social media alongside an image of herself in a bikini. She was rebuked for "immaturity".
The recent case involving Ms Kim was at Sakhalin Regional Clinical Hospital.
A senior medic said: "Such violation of ethical norms showed that the person who did this requires professional psychiatric help."
There were even claims she was "drunk on duty" when the pictures were taken.
She has not been fired while a probe is underway.
A local health ministry spokesman said: "An internal investigation has been carried out into the unacceptable, unethical behaviour of a nurse."
Local health minister Alexey Pak said he "harshly condemned" her behaviour.
He said: "Helpless people on life support became victims of her unceremonious filming."

Warren's post caught my attention immediately when I Goggled Carpet Market Share.
I think he hit the nail on the head with appearance retention. Back in the day consumers were properly educated by flooring experts, and understood maintenance. Today we expect spills to jump back in the glass.
I have been in the carpet cleaning business for almost 25 years, As the Mills have advised, I have always used steam cleaning or hot water extraction. Today we use huge truck mounted equipment, state of the art rotary cleaning tools, and some of the best and safest chemicals we have ever seen. We are doing the best cleaning we ever have. Dry times are in the single digits and customers love it.
The biggest issues I see:
1. Improper Carpet Installation
2. People do not vacuum enough
3. Improper Cleaning
4. No Professional Cleaning
My point with all this is, at some point consumers were no longer being educated properly. I blame our industry some for that, sharing that blame with the mills and the retailers.
Our industry is full of profiteers and hacks out there Scampooing carpets with "Encapsulation" and "Carbonated" methods that were never approved for residential carpeting.
They do it because they can use a minivan and almost no investment in equipment. They do it because it's easy. Scampooers boast hourly rates around $200 per hour "cleaning" carpets. Scampooers use scare tactics about "days to dry" and are not educated nor certified by any Mill, yet they exist.
Retail flooring salespeople are not of the same educated, spirited group their fathers were. I will venture to say few have been to Dalton, Ga and actually seen carpet made. Education is the problem here.
Installers want to do it the easy way. I see more staples than I do tack strip.
The bottom line; The consumer sees a carpet that looks and feels "horrible" 6 months to a year after it's installed, they see crushed and dingy traffic lanes, ripples all over from the knee kicker installer, and vow to never buy carpet again!
They call a scampooer to "clean" the carpet. To ad insult to injury, they come in and spray some miracle solvent on your carpet, rub it around for a few minutes and charge $200 an hour for this! leaving behind a residue that the consumers are supposed to vacuum away.
And they vow to never buy carpet again. Judging from Warren's numbers, I would say they are keeping their vows.
For those consumers that love their carpet, and wish to know proper maintenance practices and the bottom line on cleaning, I offer the following sources of information:
I am betting you won't find anything about "Encapsulation" and "Carbonated" or "Dry" cleaning residential carpet, why you ask? Because it doesn't work!
The first question you ask a scampooer is where does the dirt go? They will give you some type of "story" about the spray encapsulating the dirt so it can be vacuumed away later, and go on and on about how fast it dries. Of course it drys fast it's a spray!
We use a filter to trap pet hair and other debris from getting into our waste tank and blowers. Take a look at this photo, I just took. This is from one customer that had 2 rooms and a set of Stairs cleaned. This doesn't show what we removed with the vacuum. Ask the scampooer to show you their filter.
|Warning: A closeup of this pic may disgust you.
Beware of someone toting this yellow machine into your house.
Here's a tip: If there is no large vacuum hose running to a truck in the driveway, ask the scampooer to leave.
What happened here is the scampooers saw an opportunity. Grudgingly the Mills "accepted" the need for Very Low Moisture cleaning for some commercial carpet settings. The "Dry" carpet cleaning business exploded. The training and equipment to get started was 1/10th of what it cost to buy a truck mounted steam cleaning setup.
It didn't take long and the scampooers found there was not nearly enough carpets for them to clean, so they "decided" the only way to make $200 an hour was to scampoo residential homes. This being an unregulated industry, there are no carpet cleaning cops to stop them. The industry associations went broke trying to educate the scampooers. So they were left to multiply.
Here we are today talking about carpet as a floor covering losing it's market share.
Never will any Mill "approve" or "accept" encapsulation cleaning for residential carpet. The pile and construction of residential carpet does not allow for the aggressive action of a floor scrubber. The process just doesn't match up to the deep cleaning of mill and industry approved truck mounted steam cleaning.
Thanks for your time.

Breast Cancer Overview :
Breast cancer simply refers to any malignant tumor, which are formed within the said organ with cancerous cells. The breast is usually composed of two key kinds of tissues – glandular tissues and stroma tissues. As per reports, the breast cancer constitutes around 10.4 percent all across the world among the woman as compared to the men though it can also hamper men but more to the women. One of the ways to get rid of this kind of cancer is breast cancer surgery, which removes the cancerous cells from the breasts. India in the past few years has been recognized by global patients as the most affordable and high quality healthcare services. And breast cancer treatment in India with great affordability and quality is no exception for global patients coming from nations like Sudan. Since Sudan lacks in terms of having quality healthcare infrastructure, hence global patients from this country find India to be the most feasible choice in many ways.
What is breast cancer?
Breast cancer technically known as malignant breast neoplasm is a form of cancer, which is known to originate from breast tissues known for the most commonly from women's breast of inner lining over the milk ducts or the lobules, which is known to supply the ducts with the milk. Cancer is seen originating from the ducts, which are called as ductal carcinomas that simply originate from the lobules, which are called as the lobular carcinomas. The breast cancer is among the most common kinds of malignancies that hampers the women all across the world. One of the best breast cancer treatment in India, is the surgery, which helps in removing the localized caner, which has not spread over the other areas in the body by simply removing the tumor along with removing the surrounding tissue whereas conserving much of the affected breast as possible.
Best Breast cancer treatment Option :
Surgery is often considered to be the best breast cancer treatment in India, which helps in removing the cancerous tissues found inside the breasts. There are different kinds of surgeries, which are considered as per the kind of the cancer and are stage. The surgeon often discusses the pros and cons of the options available for fixing breast cancer and then takes the decision on the same. One of the surgery is the breast sparing surgery, which deals in removing the cancer and not the breasts. It has a several names, which include breast conversing surgery, segmental mastectomy, lumpectomy and even partial mastectomy. At times the excisional biopsy simply serves as the lumpectomy since the surgeon simply removes the entire lump. The surgeon then removes the underarm lymph node too, with the help in removing the separate incision is made. This procedure is also known as axillary lymph node dissection, which showcases the cancer cells having lymphatic system. After this surgery, the woman often needs a radiation therapy to breasts, which helps in destroying the cancer cells remaining over the breast.
Breast Cancer Treatment in India :
India is now recognized as the top healthcare destination and breast cancer treatment in India is no exception. Every year one can find thousands of global patients from nations like Sudan where there is a dearth of quality healthcare sector. India has one of the most sophisticated kinds of cancer hospitals and medical centers, which are known to give nothing but quality cancer treatments in India including the breast cancer surgery in this country. The cancer surgeons and doctors are known to have one of the best possible exposure and experience, which is hard to find out at any other country. In other words, the country is known to give loads of benefits to the global patients coming from Sudan while accessing high quality cancer treatment options. In other words, you have more pros and less cons of choosing breast cancer treatment in India.

In today's society, we are immersed in media information almost 24/7. It's hard to get away from information at times. How often have you wanted to take a break, get away from the noise, just so you can think?
So it seems odd that I am actually now going to give you some tips and tricks on actually finding MORE information. How can you possibly read and process more information other than what is already thrown at you on a daily basis.
Turn off TV and media sensationalist non-information
This is one of the biggest hurdles that we have to overcome as advocates.
This is the most important tip–learning to discern what is a true emergency or large issue and what is media sensationalism, and then convincing others that this is a real problem. Most media outlets have to sell ads to survive. It's how they pay the bills. And the more people who tune in, the more ads they can sell. So they promote what they know will grab people. And as a result, many issues get media attention that is very disproportionate to the size of the problem. Think of issues that were very large and popular, but when it comes down to it, your chance of encountering that issue was incredibly small: ebola, planes disappearing,
In a study by the American Society of Newspaper Editors, eighty percent of the American public said they believe "journalists chase sensational stories because they think it will sell papers, not because they think it is important news. " Another 85 percent of the public believes that "newspapers frequently over-dramatize some news stories just to sell more papers." Over 80 percent believe sensational stories receive lots of news coverage simply because they are exciting, not because they are important. Yet, we still buy into it.
Even our legislators buy into this. Here's an example: Have you heard of Mumia Abul-Jamal? He was convicted and sits on death row for killing a Philadelphia police officer in 1981. His case gets lots of media attention for various reasons. But last year, he was invited to give a commencement speak, from prison via phone, to some small college in New England. Don't get me wrong–I don't think he should have been able to do it. But judging by the media's response…you'd think that this was an incredibly large and widespread problem. So much so, that our state legislators passed a law just weeks after, to prevent it from happening again. Is this a problem? Are we really a state at risk of having all of our convicted felons giving speeches? But this, this our legislators got done in a matter of weeks. Meanwhile, since IDEA1975, our state has NEVER had a fair and equitable funding structure for education. Never. Not once in 40 years. And we know that about 20% of all kids receive some type of special education. And various bills correcting the funding structure have been introduced in both our State House and Senate for almost the past 10 years, and none has been passed. So which problem affects our local communities more? But how often do you hear about school funding issues on TV compared to Mumia? And which one was more important for our legislators to act upon? Exactly.
The other piece is that you have to find other in-depth information to read.
Finding information that is relevant to you
Now that you have chosen a passion to devote yourself to and found your legislators, it's time to start reading up. Thanks to the internet, most of what you need is right at your fingertips and you can even sign up to have it delivered right to your inbox. Your assignments for Unit 3 are going to sign up for several (as many as you think you need) legislative alerts. To start, I would sign up for more than you think you want, and as you receive and read them, unsubscribe from the ones you don't find that you need.
There are a few different types of legislative alerts. One type is from the legislators themselves. If you haven't already, sign up for your legislators' email newsletters. You can also sign up for committee alerts. I am signed up for the PA education committee alerts, so any time any legislation is written, introduced, or being brought to a vote, I get an email. Know that in most cases there will be a House Education committee and a Senate Education committee. Each one usually has a counterpart, so sign up for both. There are dozens of committees so find out which ones that your legislators are on, plus sign up for the ones that are relevant to your cause. For example, none of my legislators are on any committees for Veterans or Aging. But, if those were my causes, I certainly would still sign up for the alerts.
The second type of legislative alert comes from non-profits, foundations or PACs (political action committees) that have formed to support a specific cause. I subscribe to Arc of PA for state alerts and Arc of USA for national alerts. I also subscribe to National Center for Learning Disabilities and a few others that pertain to special education. Most of the time you can just do an internet search for "legislative alerts veterans" or "legislative alerts-women, poverty, children, pets, animals, environment…." you get the idea. Those groups often have paid staff whose job it is to know this information and pass it along. If you are in a union, you probably are aware that most unions send out legislative alerts too. Find non-profits that really speak to you and resonate with you and follow them.
Should I start a non-profit?
I hear this a lot in the special needs community, especially from moms. "I know! I am going to start a foundation that helps with…."
My short answer is no, don't do it. For three main reasons. One is that there are already a zillion non-profits out there, each one competing with the next to be heard and for donation dollars. I think that your time and efforts are better spent lending your time and voice to an already existing one.
And….do you want to advocate and lobby….or do you want to run a non-profit? Because running a non-profit means you have to have a Board of Directors and you have to fundraise and you have to manage volunteers…is that what you want to do? Starting and maintaining a successful non-profit is no easy task. Again, lend your time and talents to an already existing one and be another voice among many, rather than trying to create your own sea of voices.
The third reason is…many non-profits have a TON to offer you in terms of advocacy help. I have applied and received numerous parent scholarships that have subsidized trips to Washington, DC and other places. I have been to subsidized or free conferences and workshops where I have learned how to effectively advocate and lobby. There are many really good grassroots groups out there that offer this to the average American. So why would you not take advantage of this?
Ok, so now we are setting a strong foundation for you to begin action. Units 1, 2 and 3 are all about building the foundation. So here are your assignments for Unit 3.
- Sign up for your Legislators' emails and legislative alerts. (You should have contact information from Unit 2 assignment.)
- Find the House and Senate (state, federal or both) committees that are responsible for this topic and subscribe to those alerts too.
- Find several non-profits that align with your cause, sign up for those.
- Set up a filtering system in your email so that it all gets dumped in one folder that you can read when you have time. I use Other InBox (OIB) but I think gmail has one too. As your first email from each group/person comes in, designate it to be moved or sorted and then your email service should do it from then on out. I hope that makes sense!
- Set up Google alerts for your topic. This will take some tinkering with, to get your phrases perfected. Two of the phrases I get alerts on are "intellectual disabilities" and "special education."
- If you don't already have them, get a Facebook account and a Twitter account. Follow all of the above people or groups that I have mentioned in 1 thru 4. You can even just Google "US Senators on Twitter" and find a list of all 100 of them, really. Or go to their home pages and look for a link.
I have attached a spreadsheet for you to fill out, if you are a visual person and prefer to see what you are doing, or to keep track.
Once you have all this done…you just wait and let the information come to you. For me, since it never feels like "work" I don't mind reading these things. In fact, I prefer it to TV. When I find some alerts or other interesting information, then I go out and look around for more. Now you are in the information gathering phase so that you can become an expert on your topic. Don't be overwhelmed…it gets easier.
And now we are ready to move on to action! So stay tuned for Unit 4.

Wow--thanks, Gary, the barring on those Hooded Mergansers is unreal. I guess I have another bird for my friend to chase next season, lol!--
When you stop and think about it, ducks don't get nearly as much attention as they deserve by most tiers--maybe because they are not a big part of the commercial supply chain--you need a friend who is a good wingshot, if you're not already one yourself.
A question about Ducks
Anything fly tying...
Post Reply
Re: A question about Ducks
They do get a lot of attention among us salmon fly tyers, for sure. And thank heavens for generous hunting friends!
Re: A question about Ducks
Yes to both of those things!--I guess that's why I said "most tiers" as the number of salmon fly tiers, as least here in the US, isn't what it used to be--commensurate with the salmon runs not being what they used to be--which is unfortunate on both counts. Even in places like Scotland (I was in Kelso last fall) the numbers are down, and the stockists all had a worrisome look on their faces. Likewise the Ghillies. And then there are tiers like the late Jack Gartside, who said even if there were no fish to catch, he'd still tie flies.
Re: A question about Ducks
I put in a little rant at the end of my most recent blog post. I fish for Atlantic salmon far more than most Americans (up to 60+ days per year)...I went more than a year between fish. The rant is here: https://theriverscourse.blogspot.com/20 ... 19and.html.
didn't really mean to hijack this thread. Sorry about that! Back to ducks!

Re: A question about Ducks
Couldn't help but comment... I have a good friend, who is a very good trout fisher--- as in he's often successful on the Delaware system for very nice trout, but is stuck on dry flies... anyway, he went Atlantic salmon fishing for the first time this year, up on public water in Nova Scotia and landed two nice salmon, while pricking a couple others...

The film's opening is as awkward and heartbreaking as any I can remember. The Duke of York (Colin Firth) stands before a crowded exhibition at Wembley Stadium, 1925. He steps to the microphone and freezes up, failing to deliver his words properly. His stammered speech echoes endlessly through the stadium. His wife (Helena Bonham Carter) accompanies him as he visits many speech therapists, none of whom prove effective. As a last resort, she seeks the help of Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), a speech therapist with unorthodox methods. Lionel works with the Duke, who he calls "Bertie," for over a decade. When the Duke's brother abdicates the throne, the Duke of York inherits the crown, a looming war, and an empire in need of a reassuring voice.
Colin Firth has been a splendid, much-loved actor for many years, but the time has certainly come for award recognition. His performance as George VI is understated and completely believable. His stammer isn't overdone but is a fluid part of a rounded performance. I genuinely felt sorry for him every time he was forced to speak publicly. As strong as Firth is, Geoffrey Rush nearly steals the show as the therapist who is unwilling to make exceptions for his royal patient. Again, the performance is powerful but restrained and believable throughout. I forgot I was watching actors. The supporting cast, screenplay, director, and picture could all win Oscars as far as I'm concerned, but Colin Firth's performance must be recognized.
Many movies based on inspiring true stories try to be inspiring much too soon. Strong music and telling shots early on can tip a film's hand and make it all a bit too cheesy. The King's Speech doesn't utilize the common cinema "tells" for when an inspiring true story is in the works. Even at its most triumphant moments, the film maintains a quiet dignity, moving at a tone and pace appropriate for Britain's reserved Royal Family. The film covers 14 years in two hours, but the script mixes tension, joy, sadness, and humor in just the right amounts so that the overall experience evokes real life. The dialogue is superbly crafted and consistently charming.
Watching footage of Adolf Hitler, the king's young daughter asks, "What's he saying, Daddy?" "I don't know," he tells her, "but he seems to be saying it rather well." George VI understood that the true power of the King of England was the ability to inspire his people, and the story of how he learned to do so is one of the year's great moviegoing surprises. Word of mouth is spreading like wildfire on this picture; my wife and I were turned away from a sold-out showing and had to return the next day. At the film's end, the audience cheered and rightfully so. The King's Speech is an inspiring story, a great drama, and one of the finest films of 2010.

For the Parents:
MPAA Rating: R for some language.
I think the MPAA got this one wrong. Yes, I know the rule about how many "F words" constitute an R rating, but the language here is concentrated in two or three scenes, and it's used exclusively for comedic purposes. The King spouts profanity in an effort to enunciate properly and calm his nerves with hilarious results. There's nothing sinister or mean spirited about this picture. If it were up to me, I'd switch this movie's R rating and True Grit's PG-13 in a heartbeat.

What began as a casual visit to Janet's studio to make art and have lunch, quickly grew into another studio visit and then another. We realized we had a special creative connection and shared common aesthetic. So began our brainstorming sessions and thus an artist collaborative where we could bring our energy and talents to a larger audience. Mixing a fiber artist, collage artist and sculptor may seem somewhat disparate, but for us it works. It takes chemistry, respect and a shared sense of humor to combine these three presumably unrelated genres into one cohesive collection of new ideas. Welcome to the studio of 6 Hands Collaborative. We hope you will follow our creative journey.

Lunch place: the ShelfThursday, June 13, 2013
Cute platter and water bottle, right? I had Italian salami and amond stuffed olives sandwich. The water bottle is complimentary, because I didn't order any coffee. I already drink too much coffee/tea at work.
Surely one of the requirements of a good workplace is having many good eating places close by. My workplace definitely is not too bad in this aspect. Always a sucker for newly opened cafes, I had to try the narrow but long cafe that has recently opened on High Street, Auckland: the Shelf.
The clean interior with small cute decorative touches on the walls and the many shelving spaces - the Shelf, got it?! - makes this cafe a welcoming place to catch up with friends or for business discussions, or just a quick bite to eat during the oh-so-short work lunch hours.
One of the things I like about the Shelf is that they open early. Like, my early, as in 6.30am, because it's hard to find nice cafes that are open in time for my 7am starts.
Also, the Shelf serves almond croissants. Enuff said.

What Is the Mass of One Mole of Calcium?
Calcium is an alkaline earth element present in several chemical compounds and products. The periodic table provides a lot of valuable information on calcium and other elements, including their molar mass. A mole is a unit that represents 6.023 x 10^23 atoms of an element or molecules of a compound. The molar mass is normally given in the units of grams per mole; however, these are easily converted to English units.
The Molar Mass of Calcium
Calcium is located in the second group (column) and the fourth period (row) of the periodic table. The number under the symbol for calcium, Ca, tells you the molar mass of the element. This is the number of grams in 1 mole of calcium. The mass of 1 mole of calcium is 40.078 grams.
Conversion to English Units
To make the mass of 1 mole of calcium more understandable for some observers, it can be converted into English units. There are 28.349 grams in 1 ounce. To calculate the number of ounces in 1 mole of calcium, simply divide 40.078 grams by 28.349 grams per ounce. The mass of 1 mole of calcium is 1.414 ounces.

Satin wood grain varies from straight to interlocked, which produces a rope-striped figure on quartered surfaces. The texture is moderately fine but without the oiliness of Teak. The wood is liable to blue mineral stains if it comes into contact with iron or iron compounds in damp conditions because of its tannin content.
Satin wood is reported to occur in the semi-deciduous forest in West and Central Africa, and is found mostly in the Ivory Coast, Cameroon, and Congo.
Satin wood was originally used as a substitute for Teak in the furniture industry for framing, fittings, and the edge lippings and facings of panels. Today it is used extensively in its own right where a very attractive, strong, stable, and durable wood is required. It appears in high-class furniture and cabinets, chairs, interior joinery, boat building, and marine piling. Selected logs are sliced for decorative veneers on furniture, flush doors, and wall panelling.
The heartwood is rated as very durable and could last for more than 25 years in contact with the ground. The timber is reported to be rarely attacked by marine borers and is highly resistant to attack by termites.

Israeli defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon considered that Hezbollah doesn't need tunnels to infiltrate 'Israel', saying the case on the borders with Lebanon is different from that in Gaza.
Yaalon"Israelis concerned that Hezbollah is digging underground tunnels into Israel in order to carry out Hamas-style attacks on Israeli civilians can relax – at least for now," Ya'alon said, adding "We have been examining every single complaint by residents of the north who say they hear construction and drilling sounds underground, and so far we have found nothing. But if Hezbollah wants to infiltrate Israel, they don't need tunnels."
The Israeli occupation forces said Thursday that it had resumed examinations of areas of occupied northern Palestine where people complained of hearing underground noises – some of which were very loud, and sounded very much like the sound of heavy drilling.
"Hezbollah has other tactics to drag Israel into a war", Ya'alon said – "one of which was evident in Wednesday's attack."
"Hezbollah claims that this was a 'revenge' attack, and now that they have had their revenge things will calm down," he said. "But the reason for the IDF strike on Mughniyeh and Tabtabai was because they were preparing to set up a terror front on the Golan. That shows that they were preparing to increase tensions, possibly leading to war, before there was a need for this 'revenge.'"

McGreal nominated for League Two manager of the month for February
PUBLISHED: 06:00 05 March 2019
© Copyright Stephen Waller
Colchester United boss, John McGreal, has been nominated for the League Two manager of the month award for February.
McGreal has been nominated alongside Grimsby Town's Michael Jolley, promotion-chasing Bury's Ryan Lowe and Swindon Town's Richie Wellens.
After a very poor January, the U's picked up markedly last month under McGreal's guidance to cement themselves in the top seven – although ironically their 3-0 defeat at Swindon, to kick-off March last weekend, has seen them slip out of the play-off zone again.
The U's won just once in five games during January, losing three of them at the hands of Crawley, Mansfield and Crewe to dip back to eighth spot.
But February yielded eight points from a possible 12, with wins at Northampton (4-0) and over Cheltenham (3-0), and 1-1 draws at Macclesfield and against Carlisle.
Their revival was due in part to some shrewd signings at the end of January's transfer window, with midfielder Ben Stevenson, winger Abo Eisa and attacker Callum Roberts all arriving.
Also in the nominated quartet is Grimsby boss Jolley, who generously auctioned off his December award in aid of a local fishermen's charity.
And he might be able to do so again after reviving the Mariners' fortunes with a haul of 10 points from four unbeaten games and an 8-2 goal differential.
Lowe, meanwhile, continues to steer his Bury side in pursuit of leaders Lincoln.
The Shakers took over second place by extending their unbeaten run to 10 games and taking 10 points from a possible 12 during February, testimony to the consistency of performance that Lowe has been able to inspire.
Finally, Wellens guided Swindon to seven points out of a possible nine last month, the weather restricting his Robins side to just three fixtures.
Wellens' improving team kept pace with the promotion pack and snaffled a precious game in hand for later in the spring, and of course Swindon began March with a comfortable 3-0 win over Colchester last Saturday.
The U's have two vital home games coming up over the next week. They entertain Newport on Saturday and play host to Forest Green Rovers next Tuesday night.
