booq Mamba Sling
When it comes to finding out whether a laptop bag is any good or not, extensive travelling is always a good benchmark. That's why I took the Mamba Sling by booq with me on my travels last month.
My journey involved purely public transportation. This included bus, two trains, tube and 12 hours of economy class flying. Along with carrying the Mamba Sling complete with 15-inch MacBook Pro (approx 2.5kg) inside, I also had my luggage. Practicality was an important factor with my carry-on luggage. The true test for me was how accessible the bag was for my travel documents and how well it would fit under the seat in front of me on the aeroplane.
But before I talk about that. Let's take a look a detailed look at the design and construction of the Mamba Sling. Lightweight materials are used in the construction with a water-resistant polyester. On the outside, the black diagonal finish is smooth to the touch and flexible – allowing it to stretch to its full size when required.
The strap is permanently attached and has a spongy feel that is comfortable on your shoulders and your chest area. You can wear the Mamba Sling on the one shoulder or you can use it as a sling back. With the latter, you'll get a comfortable fit that is solid and form-hugging. Great for occasions when you do need to carry a bit extra.
There are two large pockets on the front and back of the Mamba Sling for quick access to thin items such as receipts and tickets. I didn't feel comfortable keeping important documents like my passport in the front pocket incase there were people with sticky hands around but for using it to store receipts and tickets, this would be ideal. I kept important stuff in the back pocket, although if you wear the bag in sling back mode, it means you have to take it off each time you want to get access to it.
The magic happens when you unzip the two zippers that keep the main compartment closed. The first thing you'll think is that this must be the updated bag that Mary Poppins now uses. How is there so much storage room. Booq's clever design means that you can organised the contents of your belongings into the various pockets. The cleverness is how the front of the Mamba Sling pulls forward after you've unzipped it, to reveal a second compartment for extra storage room as well as a further zipped pocket.
Mamba Sling can take laptops 13-15-inch laptops. Simply insert or remove the Velcro side padding which help to give your laptop a snug fit. The materials used in this compartment are softer to prevent your laptop from getting scratched. Booq also includes a Velcro strap just to give your laptop that extra snug fit and prevent it from moving about whilst in transit.
A large deep compartment can be found in the middle for storing larger items such as books whilst the outer main compartment is meant for holding your power cables. Two zippered side pockets are large enough for storing your mobile phone, media player or compact digital camera plus accessories.
Booq also includes a unique serial number that you can use to register ownership of your bag on the booq Terralinq website. This allows them to get in touch with you should anyone find your bag and see the serial tag inside. It relies on the person finding your bag and reading the label inside and then being kind enough to report it. The cynics amongst us would probably see this as nothing but a gimmick, but it's better than nothing.
The Mamba Sling worked well on my travels. For the journey to and from the airport, I was able to carry it sling back style for convenience and comfort. On boarding the aeroplane, I was able to stow stow it away in overhead luggage compartments and it can fit underneath the seat in front of you, but if you do that, it won't leave you with much leg room.
Overall, the booq Mamba Sling offers good solid build quality and intelligent design. The Tardis-like insides allow you to organise and sort the things you take with you on your travels. Interested in buying one? Use the Amazon link below to see the Mamba Sling in Black, Red, Brown and Navy Blue flavours.

This looks like the type of bag for me! I'm frequently carrying cables, external drives and my laptop with me for work purposes. All those extra pockets will come handy!
@Coors: I'm often guilty of taking too much with me – at least with the Mamba I can fit it all in one bag!

They probably didnt watch it yet. Making these videos takes time and you can't expect they put your clip in this vid if you sent it yesterday. They might not even put it in at all if it's not that great.
omg… see that mcree with 20 hp killed all of tbem twice really awesome(I can't kill any one even with full hp.. u know when u using that ulti all will ran away behinde the walls or u will die)… zarya ulti and Roadhog resecue really was fun.
Had that same thing happened the first day of 3v3. my team killed by a roadhog. ran around for 2 minutes while the rez charged up, popping shots off at him until I rezzed my team and they destroyed him.
I've got a clip I wanna submit and I saved in my Playstation. so can I upload it in video and send a link via email because I don't know how to send the clip through email right now.
I had a similiar experience as that mercy in the 3v3. Teammates died and i was left 1v3. Zenyatta confidently rushed me and died, then the same did a mei. Was left against a roadhog and managed to get myself ult charge and ressed my teamamtes xD. Didn't think of sending it.
I it's go the game yesterday, and I went into a 3v3 match, I was last on my team as a lucio. I killed the Genji and had 32 seconds left to draw with a rein. But I cornered myself last minute and I got rammed into the truck.

Diabetic retinopathy requires a particular treatment only when it reaches an advanced stage and poses a certain risk to your vision. Laser eye surgery in Abu Dhabi for the diabetics is recommended on positive detection of proliferative retinopathy that's level three or when a patient show signs of diabetic maculopathy. Managing diabetes at all stages is extremely important so let's explore further!
Diabetic management
The most important part of the treating is keeping diabetes under control and in early stages of diabetic retinopathy; it can really help in preventing vision problems. In more advanced stages when vision is actually affected or at risk of permanent blindness, keeping diabetes under control would stop the condition from getting worse.
Treatment for progressive diabetic retinopathy
For threatening or highly-affective diabetic retinopathy affecting your sight, the primary treatments are;
Laser treatment
Laser eye surgery is performed for the treatment of new blood vessels, growing at the back of the eyes (retina) in advanced level of diabetic retinopathy. The treatment is important and performed for the new blood vessels that are quite weak and cause bleeding in the eye.
Treatment stabilises change in the eyes caused by diabetes and stop the vision from getting worse however, there won't be any improvement in the vision, just prevention from getting worse. Laser treatment includes;
Possible contra indications
After undergoing the treatment, a patient may develop certain contra indications or side effects that would eventually subside. These may include;
Diabetic retinopathy can be treated by laser eye surgery after the doctor evaluates severity of the anomaly and symptoms.

If you have kids, or you're just clumsy like me, then you probably spend a good bit of time cleaning up spills, stains and other messes.
Removing common household spills and stains
Actually just recently, my husband spilled a glass of red wine all over the carpet floor. While the two of us got to work on cleaning it up, I of course knocked over my own glass which shattered and sent not only more red wine all over the place, but also tons of little shards of glass. (For those who know me, this is not surprising.)
The good thing about being clumsy though is that you learn quick tricks to cover your tracks — and in this case, all it took was some club soda, white vinegar and baking soda. The glass was mostly all in one area, which helped. So we soaked up the red wine with paper towels, applied the three ingredients, and then soaked it all up with more paper towels. Finally, a quick run of the Dyson (my absolute favorite household cleaning toy) finished the job!
Here are a few other tricks to get rid of common stains:
- Cheap and easy way to remove yellow sweat stains from your clothes
- How to remove 6 common household stains

How to remove Sharpie from any surface
While some stains take a little more effort to remove, with the right tricks and supplies, you can restore pretty much anything back to normal (or at least get very close).
And although permanent markers have their name for a reason, Sharpie stains are no exception! Check out the guide below from Recipes from Heaven on how to remove Sharpie from pretty much any surface!

This past week I've been pretty busy with some of my larger projects. Because of this my project for the week is a pretty simple one. I made up a Pokeball hackysack!
I will admit that it would be much easier to crochet this then knit, but I've yet to properly pick up a crochet needle. So it took me a few attempts to make a good one.
I first did a double-knitting technique with all the colors but things got too messy inside. So I just switched out the colors each time. I left all the strings attached inside (because i'm not the biggest fan of sewing my knitting.) But it was still much too flat.
I stuffed it as much as i could and sewed it up. But it couldn't be saved.
As it turns out though, kitteh loved it. So I took out all the stuffing and put a bit of cat nip in there for him. :)
Then I made a second one. I changed the type of red yarn I was using because it was chunkier then the white yarn. This fixed an issue I had with the first pokeball as the two gauges were different. It turned out so much better. So I stuffed it with rice, sewed in the ends and voila...
Also. MUDKIPS. Enjoy.

During early pregnancy, it is common to experience nausea, vomiting and tiredness. This is often referred to as morning sickness but symptoms can occur at any time of the day.
Approximately 75-80% of women may experience morning sickness. Normal morning sickness won't threaten your baby's health as long as you are able to keep food down, eat a well-balanced diet and drink plenty of fluids.
In most women symptoms often begin around 6 weeks after a woman's last period (this equals 8 weeks of pregnancy). In 9 out of 10 women, symptoms disappear by the third month of pregnancy (the end of the first trimester).
|In you are pregnant and experience nausea and vomiting which is severe and ongoing you should see your midwife or doctor.
What are the symptoms of morning sickness?
Symptoms can occur at any time of the day and often include:
- nausea
- vomiting
- dry retching (like vomiting, but nothing is thrown up)
- food smell or sight sensitivity (certain smells or the sight of some foods can trigger nausea).
Not all women experience morning sickness in the same way:
- Some have only occasional queasy moments while other feel nauseous and sick almost constantly but never vomit.
- Some women vomit now and again, while others vomit more frequently, and feel better afterwards.
- In some women, the nausea and vomiting is severe and ongoing. They are unable to keep down fluids or food, causing them to lose weight and become dehydrated. This is called hyperemesis gravidarum and occurs in less than 2% of pregnant women (2 in every 100 pregnant women). Read more about hyperemesis gravidarum.
What causes morning sickness?
The exact cause of morning sickness is unclear, but the symptoms are thought to be due to a combination of factors such as:
- High levels of pregnancy hormones, in particular human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) and oestrogen.
- Fluctuations in blood pressure, particularly lowered blood pressure.
- Altered metabolism of carbohydrates.
- The enormous physical and chemical changes that pregnancy triggers.
Morning sickness may be more likely to happen:
- when you have an empty stomach
- if you are stressed or anxious
- if you experience strong smells.
Which women are more likely to have morning sickness?
Morning sickness can occur in any woman, but some women are more prone to it. If you are pregnant you are more likely to develop morning sickness if:
- it is your first pregnancy
- you experienced nausea and vomiting in a previous pregnancy
- your unborn baby is a girl
- you have a family history of nausea in pregnancy
- you have a history of travel or motion sickness
- you get nausea when using contraceptives
- you are obese (if your BMI is 30 or higher)
- you have a multiple pregnancy such as twins or triplets.
Self care – what can you do to feel better?
Tips to manage morning sickness
|Fluids and hydration
|Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)
|Exercise and fresh air
|Rest and relaxation
|Brushing your teeth
|Acupressure bracelets or acupuncture
When to see a doctor for morning sickness
If you are vomiting and can't keep any food or drink down, there is a chance that you could become dehydrated or malnourished. Contact your GP or midwife immediately if you:
- have very dark-coloured urine or do not pass urine for more than eight hours
- are unable to keep food or fluids down for 24 hours
- feel severely weak, dizzy or faint when standing up
- have abdominal (tummy) pain
- have a high temperature (fever) of 38°C (100.4°F) or above
- vomit blood
- have pain when passing urine or any blood in your urine (this may be a urine infection).

A Riverton, Utah man was busted Thursday for exposing himself with a unique twist.
64-year-old Kenneth Allen Beck was the reason for a call at around 4:50 p.m. of a man "running around naked with bells hanging from his genitals.â€
Several girls, ranging in age from 8 to 16 years old, witnessed the man running around naked, and contacted police.
When officers arrived, they found him clothed near a parking lot.
He told the deputies that he'd done it to "see their reactionâ€.
He was given a citation for suspicion of lewdness involving a child, a Class A misdemeanor.
He'd been convicted of a Class B misdemeanor for indecent exposure back in 2005 as well.

Former Auburn University Montgomery coach Chris Steiner-Wilcoxson is now heading up the ASU softball program. (Photo contributed)
By Tim Gayle
RRS Correspondent
(May 11, 2016)
Everywhere she's been, Chris Steiner-Wilcoxson has had to change the mindset of her softball players.
She's been a pioneer, a builder, a championship-caliber coach that won't accept anything less, which makes the 2016 edition of Alabama State University softball a journey that didn't end with the Southwestern Athletic Conference East Division title.
"We finished second last year in the conference," she said. "It was everybody's first go-round. This year, with the coaches and most of the girls returning, we knew exactly what we wanted and nothing less than that would be acceptable. We had to change that mindset. We are good and we can win."
When Auburn University chose Steiner-Wilcoxson's college coach to head the Tigers' new softball program, the Huntingdon College two-sport star followed her to Auburn, earning a starting role on the team as a sophomore and becoming a team captain her final two years.
She built programs at Eufaula High and Palmetto (Fla.) High, setting school records for wins at both places. Her first collegiate coaching job was to start a program at Reinhardt College in 2005 and three years later she would take a similar position at Auburn University Montgomery, taking that program to an NAIA national championship in 2014. When she was offered the same position at Alabama State University in the weeks following that national championship, it provided her a chance to coach at the NCAA Division I-A level.
"It was something I always wanted to do, coach at the Division I-A level," she said. "You're always going to question and always wonder. Winning a national championship at AUM and then leaving it all to come over here and start over and establish yourself again is a big question mark. It's a big leap of faith. Am I doing the right thing?
"Ultimately, it's all about the kids. I know I'm a teacher, a mother, a guidance counselor but I also teach young women how to better themselves in all aspects of life. When you can do that and get to the heart and soul of a kid, they're going to give it to you on the field. I think I'm very knowledgeable in coaching, but it's the intricate, emotional, inside things that set me apart from other people in that I can really push somebody to be better. I refuse to allow myself to be less than that so I refuse to let them accept less than that for themselves."
But was Alabama State ready to take that next step? The university had a sparkling new softball complex that spoke volumes about the administration's commitment to the sport, but would the fans and the students be as excited about softball as Steiner-Wilcoxson?
"Alabama State wasn't one to pride itself in softball," she said. "They played and they had a good program, but it wasn't in the mindset of the community or the ASU people that, hey, ASU softball is good, we need to go catch a game. People would call and schedule them for an easy win. We're just people's easy 'W.'
"Every day is a learning experience. Of course, it was a new chapter. From NAIA to NCAA is very different in the way it works. But from the first day, I've been very embraced by the athletic department and by ASU. People are excited about us. That was a positive, intricate part" of building the program.
Almost immediately, Steiner-Wilcoxson and the Lady Hornets gave students and fans a reason to be excited. In 2015, the program led the Southwestern Athletic Conference in batting average (.321), slugging percentage (.465), on-base percentage (.391), runs scored (272), hits (471), RBI (247), doubles (79), triples (22), home runs (30), total bases (684), and hits by pitch (43).
Alabama State got hot down the stretch, winning 10 of 15 games from April 11 through May 8 to finish second in the SWAC East Division and advance to the SWAC Tournament championship game before losing to Texas Southern 9-0.
The first pitcher she recruited to ASU, Chelsea King, was named the SWAC Pitcher of the Year, just another chapter in Steiner-Wilcoxson's recruiting prowess.
"One of the things I pride myself on is great recruiting," she said. "I was able to get great kids to come to AUM who could have played DI ball or DII ball somewhere else but chose the atmosphere we had at AUM, the goal and the dream of what AUM was trying to do. Here, it's basically the same, you're just getting higher caliber kids to compete at a higher level. We're competing against Auburn and Alabama for the same kids.
"There are good players everywhere, you've just got to find her and get her here. Once they're here, they love the school, they love the atmosphere, they love the facilities, they love what we're trying to build here."
But while her first season was a success by ASU standards, it was just the first step in changing the mindset of the players. The 2016 season would prove to be another challenge. No longer would ASU be considered the easy W.
"We had to be more prepared," Steiner-Wilcoxson said. "The girls can't take it easy. You're not the underdog any more. They had to come out and stay focused and stay on track. They had to bring their 'A' game every day. It's been a learning experience. But once you learn it, it'll be a lot easier to maintain it every year and keep that tradition going. Right now, the big thing is we're just trying to get it established."
ASU started the season by losing 12 of its first 16 games, but there was NCAA Tournament-level talent in many of those opponents, sending a clear message to the players that they could compete at that level.
"I think early in the season, with the schedule we played, going extra innings with Marshall and teams that had been in the NCAA Tournament before, beating teams they had not beaten before, we started thinking, 'Hey, we are as good as these other people,"' Steiner-Wilcoxson said. "I think you've got to have that mindset and you've got to have that culture."
The Hornets' mindset will be put to the test this week in the SWAC Tournament at Shea Brothers Softball Complex in Irondale. ASU opens play on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. against UAPB and will continue play in the double-elimination tournament on Thursday against either Southern or Mississippi Valley State. The tournament championship will be Saturday at 2 p.m., with an NCAA Tournament berth awaiting the winner.
"We told the girls you're going to have to fight," Steiner-Wilcoxson said. "If you want this, it's all in your hands but you're going to have to fight for it because no one is going to give it to you. If they want it, they've got to go after it.
"They know what that feeling was last year after fighting all the way through and then losing in the last game and not doing their best work. They've carried that with them and remembered it all year. They seem pretty pumped about it and seem excited to get there and show people who they are and what they are."

Starting an online business can be exciting, scary and adventurous all at the same time. You are truly embarking on a journey that will have its ups and downs. Many people have given up their traditional jobs in favor of working from home and creating an online income. Many, however, have been sorely disappointed in their web hosting choices and have had to interrupt their business venture in order to find a better solution. Choosing a good web hosting company is as important to your online business as the quality of your products, your business name and your marketing strategy. Each is an integral part of ensuring your success, and you must choose your web company with care if you are going to in this for the long-term.Advertisements

If you are just starting your online business venture, you are probably overwhelmed by the myriad of web hosting companies and features that each one provides. Do you really need all that disk space? What does FTP or POP 3 mean? First, if you want to portray yourself and your business as a professional, serious venture, then don't choose a free web hosting provider. You get what you pay for. Free hosting companies put their own ads on your site, and this will look extremely unprofessional to your potential clients and customers. They won't buy a product or service from you if they feel you are unqualified or unprofessional. Your website is the first impression that customers have of you and your business; you don't want your reputation tarnished because you skimped out on a few bucks a month for hosting.

Statement by Walter McCaffrey, spokesman for Keep NYC Congestion Tax Free
Today's rejection of congestion pricing by Albany should not diminish Mayor Bloomberg's visionary plan for New York's future. He continues to lead the way on a more sustainable city. The State Assembly should be applauded for hearing their constituents concerns about the burden of a new tax with no guarantees loud and clear and putting the brakes on once and for all. It is now time to consider real traffic mitigation alternatives that all New Yorkers can agree with!

Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't, but worth a try.
It happened with me that i installed windows 8 amd 8700 drivers in my cousin's laptop which was running on windows 8.1 so in result its display went away and i had to re install the windows again and all software as well and if u wanted to try something new make sure to create a complete system restore in order to prevent data lost and time loss as well
Thankfully I have never had that happen - point well taken though - thanks.
I keep at least 6 images of my drive so I am never more than 20 minutes away from a complete restore.
Backup - backup - backup -

I had it to work on my previous OS which was Windows 7 x64
And if we mention Backup, here is what happen to me:
After all that driver installation i decided to make a "System Restore" and the results was: Windows came up but dont get into the desktop anymore.
Thankfully i have made a backup this morning, and it was before everything installed. I think i have learned somthing from the past

Arrived in the office around 1pm planning to only trade the afternoon session. It seemed the markets were still a bit muted following the Easter break. Increased R to £125 as planned. Took trades on DAX (+1R) and Cable (scratch). My goal was to take 3 trades but I only got two in.
Carefully reviewed the Psych notes from recent days and did a small "mood-enhancer" exercise. Then reviewed the charts of dixie, dax and several US dollar pairs. Noted the strength/weakness momentum across the market. Noted the daily pivots on the charts for the forex instruments.
Psych Review
(completed Wednesday lunchtime – not feeling overly positive at this point in time for some reason – why not? I had a great day yesterday with splendid company in the morning, profitable trading in the morning and then good skypes with my nephew and sister in the evening and finally a beer with a colleague – so why am I feeling not overly positive today – is it because I am losing thus far in the present session??)
1. In terms of entry the proficient Trader was in charge. Entry was only made once a retracement had occurred. Entries were not massively swayed by emotion. In terms of position management the Proficient Trader was in control – I say that because I did not play around the position too much. I followed my generic rules where I shift the stop to entry once price has gone well into my favor. I also just let T1 sit there and wait for price to hit it. Over time I might be able to squeeze more out of extending T1. That said, I entered the DAX position very soon after entering the office.
2. The afternoon session was spent trading well (didn't trade in the morning). Often I am biased to conclude that if I did just two trades, with both trades doing ok, then I have must been trading well. I don't think that this is a valid presumption.
3. Not sure what I could have done differently – maybe have a crystal ball to know that I should have exited Cable a couple of pips off the low?
4. Good trading – disciplined, calm trading – good analysis of the market. Bad trading – letting all the profit evaporate on the Cable position? [I am deliberately trying to interfere as little as possible with my trades – this includes trying to pinpoint when price is turning]
5. Bad trading – i.e. not protecting the profit – a result of incompetence?
Points from the checklist – which ones were relevant?
Additional thought: How can I figure out whether I am trading enough or too little? If setups are clear then I take them. What is a setup – I can tell from all my experience in the market, without putting too much structure on it. I should be able at least six setups a day, across the markets that i monitor. The markets that i monitor can change from one day to another – it depends on where the momentum is – it depends on what the patterns look like.
Took six trades today – as planned.
Psych Review
1. Who was in control? In terms of position management – Proficient Trader – didn't do anything crazy or influenced by emotions. On the last two trades, taken after lunchtime, I manually closed both positions for small losses. I didn't feel very comfortable with them, and was then convinced to close the short Cable trade when I re-remembered that the FOMC minutes were going to come out tonight – and therefore i should expect the movements to be fairly muted. I was fairly patient in getting into these trades. Bear in mind that most of the time I could be waiting a bit longer to get in at a better price – but then at other times it seems to work out just perfectly – e.g. shorting DAX on retrace to 12,075. At no time did the Destructive Trader take control.
2. All in all traded well, but there were a few times were my confidence was a little low.
3. Proficient Trader could have had more influence if I had been a bit more patient and wait for the decent setups – for clarity? Had also considered long Cable trade early in the morning and also long and short FTSE at various points – don't discount the FSTE – the spread is tight on that one too.
4. Good trading: Preparation – key levels, trend, pivots, looking out for technical patterns, attention to news and squawk, consideration of Dixie and correlation between instruments. Bad trading: ?
5. What led to the bad trading – N/A?
It seems that the quality of the Psych reviews is dropping a little bit. Remember that the Psych component is a key component of the trading operation.
What items of the "checklist" came into play today?
- Good trading: 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 66, 67, 68, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46-50 Didn't implement points for increasing the influence of the Proficient Trader.
- Bad trading: 55, 56?, 58 (on cable).
Here are the net results of the trades taken (with R at £125):

Sir Charles Lock Eastlake Passport
Passport stamped Sir C.L. Eastlake. Passeport. Red leather. 118mm x 88mm x 15mm. Inside passport on linen, dated 15 August 1859. Numerous consular stamps on reverse of passport and on papers bound into the case. Accompanied by a letter from the dealer Winifred A. Myers (Autographs) Ltd. to Mrs A. Gibbons, dated 3 March 1986, regarding the passport.
|Record type
|Administrative history
Charles Lock Eastlake was born in Plymouth in 1793. In March 1809 he was admitted to the schools of the Royal Academy. In April 1810 he received the Society of Arts Silver Medal for a drawing and received his first commission from the banker Jeremiah Harman.
In 1815 he studied for a brief period in Paris, and on his return to England he sketched the defeated Napoleon being brought into Plymouth on the Bellerophon. Profits from the sale of the resulting portraits enabled Eastlake to travel to Italy.
Eastlake lived in Rome from 1816-1820, and travelled through Italy and Greece to paint landscapes and picturesque images of peasants and bandits, which proved popular in England. In 1828 Eastlake was elected as an associate of the Royal Academy, and as a full member in 1829.
In Rome, Eastlake also met a wide range of important figures: including Turner, Lawrence, Uwins and Etty, and by the time of his return to England in 1830, he had developed an extensive knowledge of European art collections.
Between 1830 and 1840 Eastlake continued his successful career as a professional artist, however his reputation as an authority on art was also growing and in 1833 and 1836 he refused an offer to be the first professor of fine arts at London University. His suggestion for the Government to establish schools of design was adopted in 1836, and he was appointed to their council after rejecting the request to become their director. In 1841 Eastlake was appointed Secretary to the Fine Arts Commission which was to determine the decoration of the new Houses of Parliament. This office brought Eastlake into close contact with Prince Albert and raised his profile as an authority on art. In 1851 he was appointed as one of the Commissioners for the Great Exhibition.
In 1849 Eastlake married Elizabeth Rigby, who was known for her published articles 'Letters from the Baltic'.
In 1842 Eastlake was appointed Librarian to the Royal Academy, and in 1859 elected as President.
In 1843 he was appointed as Keeper at the National Gallery, but resigned in 1847 due to the difficulty of the position. He served as Trustee from 1850-1855. In 1855 Eastlake was appointed as the first Director of the National Gallery, following administrative reforms recommended in the 1853 Report of the Select Committee.
As Director he travelled throughout Italy and other parts of Europe to inspect works in private and public collections and to purchase works for the National Gallery. Between 1855 and 1857 the art historian Otto Mündler was employed by the Gallery as Travelling Agent. However, Parliament withdrew the grant for Mündler's salary in 1857 and the burden of continental inspections fell solely on Eastlake's shoulders.
During his period of office, Eastlake purchased 139 pictures for the Gallery.
Eastlake died during his continental trip of 1865, in Pisa on December 24. He was buried at Florence, but at the desire of the Royal Academy his body was returned to England and buried at Kensal Green cemetery.
|Custodial history
The passport was offered as a gift to the National Gallery by Ms Sally Caine on behalf of her mother. It had been found in her grandmother's papers but Ms Caine has no idea how it ended up there. Her grandfather ran a patisserie in London and it may have been acquired then. Her grandmother is the Mrs A. Gibbons who sought the advice of Winifred A Myers (Autographs) Ltd. in 1986.

A report commissioned by American Express on the state of women business-owners says that the number of firms owned by women is growing, and that businesses headed up by women are helping to create jobs and stimulate the economy more than ever before. Even in traditionally male-run fields like warehousing and construction, women are keeping pace with men – in those fields, women-owned firms are equally likely as their male-owned counterparts to generate annual revenue of more than half a million dollars. That half-million mark is generally seen as one that is difficult for women-owned businesses to surpass.
One of the biggest challenges for any small business is finding funds to cover everything from the smallest expenses (paperclips and pencils) to the largest (laptops and lawyers). How can a small business owner afford to stay afloat, especially during the first few years, when profits may not yet keep up with expenses? More and more, business owners are turning to credit cards to help make ends meet.
Business credit cards are an invaluable tool for any business owner, offering everything from high lines of credit – even unlimited lines of credit, in some cases – to tools that track spending and help businesses manage their budgets. Perhaps most important, business credit cards offer the opportunity to earn cash back on everyday purchases, which can then be reinvested into operating expenses.
American Express, the backer of this study, is the largest issuer of corporate cards and considered a leader in the field. Let`s see how the rewards offered by two of their most popular business cards – one a credit card, the other a charge card – stack up next to a business credit card issued by Citi. We took these cards and broke down their rewards in a side-by-side comparison. Who offers the biggest rewards?
American Express Business and Citi Business Cards Review
For our study, we used the following chart to calculate the monthly expenses of a typical small business:
Monthly Expense Type
$ Amount
Airfare or Misc. Expenses
Auto expense
Sales and marketing
Monthly Total
*Administrative Salaries and Rent not included in these calculations
Using that figure of $3,224, let`s see how much cash back this business would get using an American Express business credit card vs. an American Express business charge card:
Business Credit Card
Business Charge Card
Monthly Business Expense Categories
Monthly Expense:
Telephone (Wireless) = $240
Office Supplies = $100
Gas / Car Fuel = $400
All other expenses = $2484
($240 x 5%) + ($100 x 5%) + ($400 x 3%) + ($2,484 x 1%) = $46.84 Monthly cash back
Monthly Expense:
Airfare = $800
Advertising and Marketing = $300
Gas / Car Fuel= $400
Shipping = $624
($800 x 3) + ($300 x 2) + ($400 x 2) + ($624 x 2) = 5,048 points per month
$46.84 per month cash back x 12 months = $ 562.08
$ 562.08 in cash back
5,048 x 12 month = 60,576 points annually,
Points can be exchanged for $605.76 in gift cards to be used at AMEX partnering merchants, or a $302.88 AMEX gift card that can be used anywhere
Additional Info About The Card
0% introductory APR for 6 – 12 months, based on creditworthiness, annual APR of 12.24%, 17.24% or 19.24% after that.
This is NOT a revolving line of credit – it is a charge card. All charges made on this card are due and payable as soon as you receive your statement.
American Express Business Cards Review Conclusion:
SimplyCash® Business Card from American Express OPEN= $562.08 in cash back!
The Business Gold Rewards Card® from American Express OPEN= $605.76 in Gift Cards (from AMEX partner stores)
Now let`s review Citi Business Card Example:
CitiBusiness World Card (offer has expired)
APR: Zero percent intro APR for six months; after that, you get a variable 13.24 percent APR.
Annual Fee: None
Foreign transaction fees: 3 percent
Sign-up bonus: You get 10,000 bonus ThankYou Points if you spend $300 within the first three months, which is enough for a $100 gift card. Not the best bonus I`ve seen, but it`s not bad, either.
Rewards: You earn 3 ThankYou Points for every $1 spent on purchases at certain office supply merchants and on professional services. And you earn one ThankYou Point for every $1 you spend on everything else. Plus, you can even earn ThankYou Points from purchases made on your employee accounts.
Office Supplies: $100 x 3 = 300 ThankYou Points
Everything Else: $ 3,124 x 1 = 3124 ThankYou Points
3424 ThankYou Points per month x 12 month = 41088 ThankYou Points
41,088 ThankYou Points = $273.92 Cash Back (15,000 Citi ThankYou Points = $100)
American Express Business and Citi Business Cards Comparison Conclusion:
It appears that in this case, American Express defends their reputation as the best of the best when it comes to business credit cards. Their SimplyCash® Business Card from American Express OPEN gives the business owner in our study $562.08 cash back over a year, while their The Business Gold Rewards Card® offers $605.76 in gift cards, although it`s worth noting that these must be spent at an American Express partner merchant. The , by comparison, only gives $273.92 cash back for our fictional business owner to reinvest in her business.
New Business Owners Beware
There are a couple of important things to keep in mind about the difference between a small business credit card and a personal, or consumer, credit card. The first one is that the CARD Act (Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act) which took effect in February 2009, does not apply to business credit cards. The protections afforded by this act – a 21-day grace period, 45-day advance notice of new fees, etc. – apply only to consumer credit cards. Although this may initially sound like a drawback, people who are opening their own business presumably know how to use credit responsibly and do not necessarily need those protections.
The other thing to keep in mind is that business credit cards do not report to the three major credit bureaus, and therefore will not have any bearing on your personal credit report. That`s great if you prefer to keep your business credit history separate from your personal credit history, but not so great if you were hoping to improve your credit score or build up your credit history by using a business credit card. And remember that as the primary card holder on your business account, you will still be personally liable if you default on the card – and that negative information will be sent to your personal credit report.
Whether you are a man running a business out of your garage all by your lonesome or a woman commanding an army of 25 employees in a warehouse, there`s a business credit card that can help you accomplish all you dreamed of when you first sat down to write your business plan. Credit-Land.com has the tools you need to help you find a business credit card that makes your money work as hard as you do for your business.

Arnold & Vi Milstead Warren Flight Training Scholarship
Thank you to flight training colleges and schools for promoting the Arnold and Vi Milstead Warren Scholarship among your students. Excellent applications were submitted from a variety of colleges and flight training programs.
Thank you to each applicant for the effort and thought you put into your written submissions. I appreciate the complimentary comments of each referee and hope that applicants realize how highly your instructors and colleagues regard you.
The 2016-17 Arnold and Vi Milstead Warren Scholarship of $2000 will be awarded to Claire Orban. Besides graduating from the Seneca College Bachelor of Aviation degree program in 2017 with a Commercial License with a Group 1 Instrument Rating, Claire will write the ATPL exams before beginning her Instructor Rating.
Claire recognizes that students learn at different rates and is committed to taking the required time, and finding alternative ways to help students learn, to give students the best chance to succeed and becoming safe, knowledgeable pilots. Her experience of a wide range of instructing methods and personalities will help shape her into the type of flight instructor she wants to be – fair, firm, and friendly.
She has created a flight instructor assessment tool for students to indicate if they feel that their instructor shows an obvious willingness to help them throughout their training and if they put safety as their number one priority – to ensure a positive safety culture is being passed down.
With her goal of becoming a fair, firm and friendly instructor who will pass along a positive safe flying attitude, Claire is well on her way to becoming the type of instructor exemplified by both Vi Milstead and Arnold Warren 70 – 80 years ago.
Best wishes to all applicants as they prepare for Instructor Ratings and continue to pursue careers in aviation.
Watch for information about the next Arnold and Vi Milstead Warren Flight Training Scholarship.
~Marilyn Dickson, Trustee for the Arnold and Vi Milstead Warren Flight Training Scholarship
Flight instructors play a vital role in developing pilots' excellent flying skills and good judgment. This scholarship has been established to celebrate the wonderful work of Canadian flight instructors, and in particular to acknowledge the contributions of two outstanding flight instructors, Arnold and Vi Milstead Warren. Vi Milstead Warren left a legacy in her will for a few flight instructor scholarships. Though the scholarship name celebrates her husband Arnold's work as well as her own, Vi agreed that with the dearth of female flight instructors, it is appropriate for the award to go to female instructor candidates.
Vi Milstead (1919 – 2014) learned to fly in 1939, just as World War Two was beginning. Within just eight months she earned her Private and Commercial Licenses, while working fulltime in her mother's, and then in her own woolshop. She then went on to complete her Instructor Rating. She was one of a very few female instructors in Canada in the early 1940s. Though women could not fly with the RCAF, Vi taught many male students who later flew with the RCAF.
In 1943 Vi joined the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) in England and delivered military fighters, bombers and training aircraft throughout the United Kingdom and into continental Europe. For this work she received a unique style of flight training. ATA pilots were trained on one representative plane of each class, and then were expected to fly several other types, without checkouts or any additional training. Vi's logbook shows 47 different types (74 including different Marks). For example, there were more than 20 different Marks of Spitfires, some with Merlin and others with Griffon engines. The stall speed for different Marks ranged from 66 to 86 mph, with flaps and undercarriage up. It would probably be more realistic to consider that she flew 74 different models of aircraft, than 47.
Following the war Vi returned to instructing, first with Leavens Brothers at Barker Field, then on floats with Nickel Belt Airways in Sudbury and subsequently the Windsor Flying Club.
Arnold Warren (1908 – 2000) learned to fly in Kirkland Lake and Barker Field, Toronto, completing his Private Pilot Licence in 1940. During World War Two he became an instructor with the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, training pilots with the RCAF. Part of his work involved doing research in flight training, with the goal of perfecting the RCAF flight training syllabus. This work formed the basis for his book Let's Learn To Fly. Following the war he worked as Chief Flight Instructor for Leavens Brothers, where he met Vi. He later claimed he was so impressed with her flying ability he decided to marry her.
After instructing with Nickel Belt Airways, Sudbury and the Windsor Flying Club, through ICAO, Arnold was invited to head up a flight training program inIndonesia. Vi and Arnold lived in Indonesia for two years. Vi was issued an Indonesian pilot licence, but Arnold was not allowed to hire her as an instructor, though the school needed another instructor. After Arnold completed his two year contract, he and Vi returned to Canada. Though they gave up flying professionally, they continued to fly a Piper Cub, and then a Mooney recreationally. Vi and Arnold would hope that successful scholarship winners will enjoy sharing their love of flying as much as they did.

Virginia has sought to have 41 violent sex offenders confined to a mental hospital after they finish their prison terms under a law that took effect in 2003. So far, courts have agreed to send 15 of them to the institution.
On Thursday, the Virginia Supreme Court, weighing in on the law for the first time, ruled against the state in two of three cases it reviewed.
The state lost the cases mostly on technicalities, not on the sweeping constitutional challenges that have been waged against similar laws in other states, lawyers said. Recent changes were made to the statute to prevent similar challenges.
But legal observers said the judgments are striking all the same, because they show that the court is closely watching -- and setting limits on -- a law hailed by some as a crucial public safety measure and denounced by others as a massive civil liberties violation.
"The Virginia Supreme Court is clearly aware that these are new and untested procedures in this state, and they are scrutinizing every aspect of the procedure," said Steve Benjamin, a Richmond lawyer.
The law allows authorities to institutionalize violent sex offenders after their release from prison if the state can prove in court that they are likely to commit another sex crime. They can be confined indefinitely, subject to recommendations by doctors and rulings by judges.
Virginia is one of 17 states with civil commitment laws for sex offenders. Proponents say the law keeps dangerous sex predators off the street. Critics say the program is a way of warehousing criminals after their debt to society has been paid. The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld a similar Kansas statute.
Offenders who are civilly committed are sent to the Center for Behavioral Rehabilitation in Petersburg. Nationally, about 3,000 violent sex offenders have been hospitalized, said W. Lawrence Fitch, director of Maryland's Office of Forensic Services, who studies the issue. About 100 have been released, he said.
In one case reviewed Thursday, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled that Lorenzo Townes, a convicted statutory rapist, should not have been committed when he was released from prison in 2003 because he was serving time for other crimes.
The court ruled that the law requires an inmate to be serving a sentence for a sexually violent act when recommended for civil commitment. Inmates' "substantial liberty interest" in avoiding institutionalization means that the law must be "strictly construed," the court wrote.
In another case, the court upheld a judge's ruling that the state had not proved that an Alexandria man, Richard Bryan Allen, is a sexually violent predator. In that case, the state argued that a psychologist who evaluated Allen should not have qualified as an expert witness because he was not licensed in Virginia.
The court said nothing in the statute required an expert witness to have a state license.
The General Assembly has since passed amendments to the statute to prevent similar challenges. The law now requires that an expert witness be licensed in Virginia. And violent sexual offenders who have finished their sentences for sex crimes but remain in prison for other offenses are eligible for civil commitment.
In the third case, the court ruled that the state had proved that Derek Lamont McCloud, a Prince William County man, is a sexually violent predator. McCloud was convicted of rape, abduction and indecent liberties in 1989.
Emily Lucier, a spokeswoman for Virginia Attorney General Judith W. Jagdmann, said the state respected the court's rulings.
Observers said challenges to the Virginia law probably will become broader as time goes on. Fitch said courts in states with similar laws have been flooded with litigation over civil commitment for sex offenders and have largely rejected constitutional challenges. There are now more attacks on the quality of treatment that offenders receive while hospitalized, he said.
Leigh Drewry, Townes's attorney, said he would have gone that route if the court had rejected his appeal. He said Townes told him he received about two hours of counseling each day.
"They say that they are providing people with treatment," Drewry said. "I think they're just warehousing the people, and they're sitting there just as if they were in prison."

19 Mar 2017 id2 National Selection boys team: Where are they now?
Editor's note: US Club Soccer congratulates its id2 alumni, many of whom have turned youth opportunities into promising high-level collegiate and professional careers. This is one of eight articles in an ongoing series looking back at the boys players who have participated in id² National Selection programming, as the 2018 id2 National Selection International Tour approaches. A series featuring girls players will be released prior to the 2018 ECNL/ id2 National Training Camp.
The 2017 id2 National Selection International Tour to Spain was held April 6-17. The tour was different than any of its predecessors, as this id2 National Selection team participated in a tournament: the Mediterranean International Cup.
In the end, the squad surrendered zero goals in seven matches – though ultimately falling in the quarterfinals to Inter's top academy team in penalty kicks. The MIC provided a diverse group of opponents. Including its final Italian foe, the id2 National Selection team faced squads from China, Israel and Spain.
The id2 National Selection roster was comprised of 15 boys born in 2003, two born in 2002 and one born in 2004.
Fourteen players from the 2017 id2 National Selection International Tour team are playing in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy, and several are mainstays in the U.S. Soccer youth national team pool.
- Jacob Bergin (M), Rocky River, Ohio – Bergin joined the D.C. United U-15 academy team. Through the first two games, he scored once, starting both matches. In Aug. 2017, Bergin joined three fellow 2017 id2 National Selection alumni at a U.S. U-14 national team camp in Portland, Ore.
- Logan Calpito (F), Ewa Beach, Hawaii – Calpito impressed as a durable defender, earning an invitation to the 2018 id2 National Selection International Tour. In 2017, Calpito moved from Hawaii to the Washington, joining the Pacific Northwest SC U-14 academy team. Through the squad's first four games, he has started three and scored once.
- Matteo Carbone (M), Scotts Valley, Calif. – In Fall 2017, Carbone played with Santa Cruz Breakers Academy U-15 team.

Septic System Problems
Over 5 million septic systems fail each year. This is about 20% of the septic systems in operation. Luckily, that leave 80% of the septic systems working well.
Imagine a scenario in which you flush a toilet, and water comes up the shower drain. Brown water. And it smells. You investigate further by walking out into the yard where the leeching area is for the septic system.
The area is much wetter than it should be. It smells and there is some sort of semi-solid black gunk oozing up under the grass.
Don't panic. you may discover that your system can be fixed relatively inexpensively.
How a plumbing system functions
Here's how the normal system works. Waste from toilets, showers, kitchen travel downward into the septic holding tanks. The denser particles settle to the bottom of the tanks, while the water floats into the leeching area. Think of it like a sponge sitting on a gravel base. The sponge absorbs the water and it slowly leaks through the rock, purifying the water further, before it is absorbed into the water table below.
Anaerobic bacteria slowly cleans the water in an atmosphere without oxygen. However, over time the bacteria and waste products produce a black sludge called a biomat. The biomat is what you saw in the above scenario. Seeing the biomat is a good indication that you have a septic problem as opposed to a plumbing problem.
Leeching field issues
Digging out the leeching field is one solution to the problem, but an expensive one. Also, the homeowner will want his septic system inspected and the solid waste pumped out once every three years. He must make certain he is not overloading the system, perhaps by building a home addition without making allowances for how much the septic system can hold.
Another common way the septic system is overloaded is by flushing of non-biodegradable products into the plumbing. It's amazing what people flush down the toilet. Cigarette butts, paper towels, baby wipes, pharmaceuticals, insecticides, solvents and grease should not be flushed down the toilets. Your septic system is not built to cleanse these products.
A plumber can show you how to solve your septic problem in a somewhat elegant way.
Bringing in superstar bacteria
When aerobic bacteria are injected into your septic system, they begin to clean up the sludge, the solid waste and even start nibbling away at the biomat. But the aerobic bacteria need some help. Even the Golden State Warriors need some oxygen. And so do our industrious, clean-it-up bacteria.
When the aerobic bacteria and a steady oxygen supply are introduced into the septic system, the system starts getting healthier. But it does take time.
Steady improvement
The aerobic bacteria operating in a system that now has oxygen will even clean up the old anaerobic bacteria in fairly short order. Within a week the homeowner should see slight improvement in the health of the system. After two weeks, the homeowner should see more improvement and in a month, she is confident that the system is on the mend.
If the system is not improving, however, the homeowner should again consult with the plumbing technician to see what further steps might be required.
Finally, when the homeowner wonders if his problems are plumbing problems or septic problems, he should examine the evidence carefully before communicating with his plumber. If the problems are indeed with the septic system, he can recommend actions that can soon have the system percolating again nicely.
